So, the continuation/prequel of CantinAnon. The reason I stopped writing for it was that the more I wrote, the more I felt it took away from the original story. That having been said, this is where this dumpster fire of a story would have gone.         Anon and Rarity have job to smuggle crystals off of Dantooine. Introduction of Lieutenant Applejack and her squad (Dash and Braeburn) at spaceport. AJ & co are investigating a local smuggling ring (Soarin' and Spitfire; Not connected with A&R or are old contacts?). Dash hits on Anon and tells him to come see her some time on Coruscant     >Rarity roughly grabs your arm and glares at the Chiss.     >"He's spoken for, thank you very much."     >Wait, you are?     >When did that happen?     >The Chiss raises her hands in front of her.     >"Alright, alright! Sheesh, talk about clingy..."     >"Sergeant Dash, get your blue butt over here and stop causin' so much darn trouble!"* ???   Nar Shadaa for lightsaber parts Has to deal with local gang Leader is Pinkie Pie (Zeltron) with a love of fighting (because Berserker Pinkie Pie is a horrifying thought) ???   Twi sends them out with her Apprentice, Moondancer, to Ord Mantell to find a force-user Moondancer sensed. Moondancer then senses a powerful Light Side user on surface.     >You raise an eyebrow at the Zabrak, who was staring at the planet.     "Is it worth the risk, my lord?"     >After a few seconds without even blinking, you start to worry that she's started meditating or something.     >"...Land. We're not leaving without an acolyte."* User is Sparkler Close call with Jedi Consular Cheerilee, who also sensed Sparkler's use of the Force ???   On Hutta to make a deal with a Hutt for slaves Turns out that Anon worked for (and got his start with) the Hutt they have to deal with Deal goes south Anon becomes slave to Hutt, Rarity becomes exotic dancer Anon tries to get message to Twilight, is found at end of message and beaten almost to death Perspective shifts to Rarity Few days later, Twilight arrives, tranquilly mad as hell ???   Coruscant for droid parts Have to infiltrate a gang to get the parts Leader, a Nikto, is suspicious of them Makes Rarity shoot Anon in the leg and push him off of a platform Either she does so or they both die     >As you fall, you stare at the Theelin's face.     >You can see the anguish and self-hatred silently screaming across her visage.     >But you don't care about that.     >No, all you care about is the fact that this time, she really has killed you.     >You don't notice the taxi on an accidental intercept course at first.     >You sure as fuck do notice it after you slam onto its hood and roll off the back.     >You miraculously land in the backseat of a second taxi, unfortunately slamming your head on the door.     >A terrified squawk calls out from the passenger seat as you lose consciousness     >"O-oh my goodness! Sir, are yo-"* Wakes up in a hospital bed Redheart (???) explains that the batch of bacta was, unbeknownst to the staff, contaminated (She's pissed about it): While most of his body was fixed, his leg (which he landed on badly on first taxi) healed incorrectly When Anon asks who's paying for the treatment:     >The (???) flipped the page on the chart     >"Looks like it was... A Chiss. Said her name was Rainbow Dash."     >Well, that can either be a good or a really bad thing, depending on whether or not she knows you're a smuggler working for a Sith.     >"Military, huh? Damn good friend if she's willing to pay for this on her salary..."     >She sets your chart back down and smiles at you.     >"Well, get some rest. She and the Rishii you almost fell on wanted to know when you woke up."* Introduction of Fluttershy (Rishii) after Anon wakes up ???   ~~~~~   >"You have clearance to land. Please go to Bay 27. Welcome to Dantooine, sir, and enjoy your stay." >You numbly go through the motions to land. >You've done this sort of song and dance a thousand times before, but not when the stakes were so high. >Go into a heavily-guarded mine, steal a couple crates of lightsaber crystals, then get off-planet before anyone's the wiser. >Twi- LORD Twilight said that she has another contact going after a geo-compressor to fucking MAKE the crystals, but she'll need real ones for the time being. >You look over at Rarity, who still isn't a fan of this situation. >"...We could still run. We-we'd have to take the ship apart and look for bugs a-and not talk to any of our contacts, but we could do it!" >You sigh and run your hand through your hair. >Wasn't like you hadn't thought of that before. >Hell, you still wanted to. >But... "She found us when we were laying low and, personally, I like to think that we're rather good at hiding. She'd find us again and then we'd be in deeper shit." >You both sit in the ship for a few minutes more, silently trying to think of a way out of this. >Sure, you'd like to say that you weren't a man who goes back on his word, but your past blows that statement out of the water. >"...We don't have much of a choice, do we?" "Wish we did, I really do." >After a few more seconds of silence, Rarity sighs and pats herself off. >"Well then, we shouldn't waste any more time here moping, hmm?" "Nah, guess not." >You pop your back before standing and lowering the ramp. >"Time to earn our keep, darling." >You both walk down the ramp into the bay, standing tall and proud. >Right where a group of Republic soldiers is waiting.   >How? >Fucking HOW? >You haven't even been in system for a week! >How the hell did they know? >As you and Rarity hesitantly walk down the ramp, the freckled human at the front of the group smiles at you. >"Howdy, y'all. Don't worry none, this is just a formality: Been havin' some problems with arms dealers in these parts." >"Goodness me, I hope you catch the rapscallions! Oh, how rude of me. My name is Elusive and this is Pseud." >Rarity extends a hand towards the soldier, an act you never thought you'd see. >The soldier gladly shakes the hand, her grin widening. >"Lieutenant Applejack, ma'am. Chiss behind me is Sergeant Rainbow Dash and next to her scrawny butt-" >"AJ!" >"-is Sergeant Braeburn." >"Howdy, miss." >"Hope ya don't mind if we take a look in your ship. 'Gain, 's just a formality." >Holy shit, the universe is smiling down on you: The one time you don't have anything illegal on the ship. "Not sure about her, but I don't mind. Careful, though: She ain't in too good a shape. Been meaning to fix her up, but..." >"
