#cx trooper

CX wandered the streets of Mos Eisley... 

His brain in a fog... 

He rounded a corner and stopped. 

Why am I here?  

CX shook his head, clearing the cobwebs, then glanced around. 

He had entered an alleyway. 

WHY??? 

The ONLY thing he remembered was stopping...for SOME strange reason...the rest of it lost to him now...on this ass crack of a planet to TOP OFF his ship. 

He still had just enough fuel to make it to Tantiss. 

WHAT possessed him to land on THIS planet?  Or...land AT ALL? 

WHY did I walk away from my ship? 

CX rubbed his head, hoping to clear it. 

THE ASSET!   

He left the Force Sensitive teenager unattended!!! 

DANK FERRIK!!!  Maul Sith Mind-Fucked ME!!!

CX immediately spun around to sprint back to his ship... 

And ran smack dab into the chest of a BIG ugly Gamorrean! 

He wasn’t alone, a small group of thugs slinked in behind the leader of the group. 

CX grabbed his blaster... 

And was tazed! 

The Trooper Shook from the high electrical current, then dropped to the ground dazed but aware.  He weakly attempted to get back up off the ground, but was no match for the numbers of Mos Eisley’s most retched scum... 

They beat him, stole his weapons and armor... 

Then left the CX Trooper for dead. 

A warm wetness... 

Something slimy across his face... 

Smelled like DOG. 

The Trooper could BARELY open his swollen eyes.  A black nose took up his whole view, with an occasional tongue lapping at the blood on his broken face. 

He managed to feebly push away the pest.  Broken fingers aching as he did so. 

THAT DOG...

The one belonging to the Force Sensitive teen, tripped over her dislocated leg, falling down onto the sand. 

She yipped in annoyance but sat watching the man. 

PAIN EVERYWHERE...all over his body... 

ESPECIALLY his head. 

The man reached up to feel his face.  Swollen, dried blood, dirt...nose still intact, he could taste blood, feel bruising... 

He carefully slid a hand up to the sides of his head.  The right side EXTREMELY painful with a large blood caked knot.  The rest of his head in differing stages of swollen bruises. 

The dog wagged her tail and whined. 

As he became more aware of the rest of his body, the man continued to take inventory of his injuries: Broken left leg, painful crotch...must’ve taken a few kicks there, dislocated thumb on his other hand, assorted cuts and bruises on the rest. 

Lucky to still be alive. 

Especially in the hot, dry climate of a desert planet.  Where EVERYTHING left out in the open dies and dries out.  The blistering sun filtered down into the semi-shaded alleyway. 

Armor and weapons gone...only clad had his torn blacks. 

They EVEN stole his boots. 

“Thugs generally make sure they finish the job...” The man mused out loud. 

He eyed the dog.   

She sensed his query and her skin RIPPLED...as her coat shifted and disappeared out of sight... 

EXCEPT FOR HER AMBER EYES. 

Then she grinned like dogs do...her teeth caked in blood and flesh. 

Only eyes, teeth, and long blood-stained tongue visible. 

“Gave ‘em one helluva go, eh girl?” 

She sneezed and uncloaked.  A fully visible bloody disheveled dog sat next to the man. 

The mutt got up and nudged something towards him... 

A bottle of clean moisture farmed water. 

“Stole it?” The man croaked to the dog. 

She wagged her tail proudly. 

“Why are you staying?”  He mused.  “Should have left me for dead too.” 

The mutt whined shrilly. 

“Heh...looks like we’re BOTH stuck on this shit stain of a planet.” 

The man picked up the water and made a toast to the dog. 

“Partners in misery...eh?” 

The dog barked and wagged her tail gleefully.
