KotOR: Knights of War

[starmark2k]

Tia- **** we have serious incoming... And those mines didn't do their job.

 

Jon- Don't worry we can jump soon. They won't be able to catch up with us and our shields will hold.

 

The phoenix flew at maximum speed shots were fired from all the ships but they bearlyt drained the sheilds if they hit. The ship entered hyperspace when it left the gravity well created by the asteroid and intradictor.

 

Tia- whooooooo, They want us they have to try better than us... so where we heading.

 

Jon- We'll head to taris, not to many bounty hunters there and its easy to get lost.

[stingerhs]

Roa- "Well, just think: where would you go if your trying to 'get lost'?"

 

Sith Captain- "The point is that you promised us that freighter, and we don't have it."

 

Roa- "So what? Just give us some time to track them down, and we'll get you what you need."

 

Sith Captain- "The time for patience has past, Mandalorian. Well, at least my master's patience. Lord Revan's fleet is making a visit to this sector and has ordered that the both of be detained for 'personal' questioning."

 

Cryain- "You don't know what you're ****in with."

 

Sith Captain- "Now, the apprentices will escort you to the detention block where you will be disarmed and placed in holding cells."

 

Four Dark Jedi began to escort both Roa and Cryain to the detention block. Cryain thought a bit to himself, and started using an old technique he had learned to mask himself from the Dark Jedi. He began to actively pull up his more base emotions as a barrier. In his mind, however, Cryain was actually going over what would be the best way to slaughter these Jedi and make an escape. The Sith were fools to let him and Roa keep their weapons until they reached the detention block, and Cryain was waiting for the perfect moment. The Dark Jedi took them aboard a lift and closed the doors.

__________

The doors to the lift opened. The Sith squad that was sent to meet them looked in stunned silence at the scene in the lift. Blood was spattered everywhere. The bodies of the four Jedi were lying in pools of their own blood. The Sith immidiately brought their weapons to bear.

 

Cryain and Roa watched the reactions of the squad while they stood right in the entrance with their cloaking sheilds activated. The squad leader ordered his men to advance into the lift. As they did so, Cryain and Roa moved out of the way: Roa towards the lift controls, and Cryain by the door controls. The squad entered the lift, but couldn't see either Cryain or Roa. Cryain then shut the doors, trapping the squad inside, while Roa activated the lift to take them to the main hangar.

___________

 

The body of the Sith collapsed on the floor. He had just witnessed all kinds of horror and confusion as members of his squad were sliced and hacked away at by an unseen enemy. In such chaos, there was nothing he could have done. Now, his corpse contributed to the now mass grave of Sith Soldiers and Dark Jedi.

 

Cryain and Roa silently made their way for the main hangar. The didn't have any problems, especially whenever the bodies were discovered in the lift. Tons of Sith Soldiers rushed past them to go contain a threat that was already past them. As they reached the main hangar, and headed for the Re'allis, Roa pulled out a special remote controller. They reached the Re'allis and hopped in. Finally, Roa pressed a series of commands into the controller. A deep rumble echoed throughout the vessel. Five thermal detonators had just gone off. It was now mass chaos aboard the vessel. Hardly any of the Sith crew had any idea what was going on. Cryain and Roa got things started up on the Re'allis and took off. They left the hangar at full burn.

 

Roa then entered another set of commands into the remote. Suddenly, a massive explosion ruptured through the hull of the Interdictor. Cryain had implanted a special program into the ship's computer that would cause the ship's fuel compartment to spark, thus the massive explosion. The Interdictor was starting to fall apart as other smaller explosions rocked the vessel.

 

The Re'allis didn't stick around to watch the carnage and made the jump into hyperspace.

[starmark2k]

Tia was in a cantina in the under city of taris trying to enjoy a substandard corillian ale. She was also looking at the bars patron who were drinking, playing pazzack or watching the twi'lek dancers. Jon then walked up to the table she was sitting at and sat on the chair carrying a drink.

 

Tia- You cant get a desent corrilian ale past the mid rim.

 

Jon- You should try this tarisian ale... its good stuff.

 

Tia- you know they use tachs to make that.

 

Jon- well it still tastes good... Anyway i found someone who will change our ships ID codes so we can at least get to corruscant unnoticed.

 

Tia- whats the problem?

 

Jon- What do you mean?

 

Tia- there is always a problem!

 

Jon- well you are right... we have two. First we need to wait at least 2 days for it to be sauted and secondly we need to do a job for him.

 

Tia- what is it.

 

Jon- we need to steal some kind of weapon from davik.

 

Tia- The exchange boss... you know how difficult that will be?

 

Jon- harder than you think.. Davik has 2 guests.

 

Tia- Who?

 

Jon (speaking holding the glass infront of his mouth before sipping to damping the sound of his voice)- Calo Nord and Canderous Ordo.

 

Tia- *She jumps out of her seat* WHAT!!! They are the two most dangerous bounty hunters in the galaxcy!

 

Jon looked around and noticed people staring at them.

 

Jon- Sit down and calm down.

 

Tia then sits down and moves her chair closer to jon so she can speak quietly.

 

Tia- If they find out we are on this planet they may try to claim the bounty on our heads and take the crystal.

 

Jon- i know that but we have no other choice he is the only one who will do it in the time allowed.

 

They continued finishing there drinks and then left the cantina.

[stingerhs]

The Re'allis immidiately left hyperspace almost as soon as it entered. Cryain had just simply made a microjump to get away from the ship. Roa checked the sensor logs and took a good look at the heading the Phoenix had taken to get away.

 

Roa- "Well, if my calculations are correct, they could have gone to either Taris or Naboo. What do you think?"

 

Cryain- "Just think: where would you rather go if you were trying to hide?"

 

Roa- "Easy: Taris. The whole planet is almost nothing but city. Lots of places to get lost in."

 

Cryain- "Well, if we're going to Taris, I'll make sure we get in contact with Davik Kang. He's the local Exchange boss, and one of the most powerful Exchange bosses in the galaxy. He could probably help us find some suitable work. Besides, I've done a couple of jobs for him in the past. This shouldn't be too much trouble."

 

With that, Cryain made the necessary adjustments to the hyperspace computer, and the Re'allis headed for Taris.

[starmark2k]

Tia and Jon were in the apartment they rented on the uppercity, Jon was on a local console checking records and Tia came up behind him after just getting changed in casual ware.

 

Tia- what you doing now?

 

Jon- Remember those mercs we... 'met' on the asteroid.

 

Tia- Yeah!

 

Jon- well knowing mercs they will proberly try and follow us so i want to know more about them. I typed in a description of them, from what i saw of them.

 

Tia- get anything.

 

Jon- yep a pure pazzack... The Zabrak goes by the name of Rytanya Cryain, hes a really good intelligance opperative expert in stealth and espionage... Proberly better than you. The other guy is a mandalorian, Roa Ceetu.

 

Tia- where did you get this stuff.

 

Jon- The republic prision records, They are escaped convicts, wanted, got a fairly high republic bounty on them.

 

Jon turned around and saw tia wearing very casul cloths that she rearly wore as she prefered to be fully kitted out.

 

Jon- Going anywhere?

 

Tia- there i thought i'd go to the local cantina and relax.

 

Jon- you know we have a large bounty on us.

 

Tia- oh come on they won't be looking for a person wearing these kind of clothes.

 

Jon- O.K. put keep a low profile and keep a descreat vibroblade hidden somewhere... just incase.

 

With that Tia left the appartment and left Jon to his work.

[stingerhs]

Taris customs were even easier to get through than Corellia. They were given clearance to land, and that was the entire process they had to go through. Cryain knew that in order to get in touch with Davik, he'd have to go through a couple of contacts to set up a meeting first. The most likely place to find those contacts would be the local cantina.

 

Roa and Cryain left the hangar. Roa went to scout out a place to stay temporarily while Cryain went to the cantina alone.

 

Inside the cantina, Cryain ordered a drink. Pulling out a small package, he ripped it open and poured a small amount of white powder into the drink. Mixing it up a bit, he downed it quickly. The healing drugs immidiately began to work on some old wounds that Cryain still had from the escape from the Republic jailors.

 

He sighed to himself as he thought about how he was starting to need those doses more and more as time progressed. He knew it was the start of an addiction, but the neurotoxin training he had recieved in the military prevented kolto from working properly. There was nothing else he could do to heal those wounds than the special crystals.

 

Sitting alone at the table, Cryain didn't bother to study the other people in the cantina. It wasn't that he wasn't looking for a contact, but rather, it was that he had already found his contact. He was busy watching the twi'lek dancers. Getting up from the table, Cryain walked over to the man and very carefully pressed the tip of a throwing blade into his back.

 

Cryain- "One mistake, and its over for you. I need to contact Davik, and I need you to do it. If I don't get a response tommorrow at 2:30 in this cantina, then I will personally hunt you and your family until your very existance is erased from the galaxy. My name is Rytanya Cryain. That is all you need to know."

 

With that, Cryain turned around and headed for the dueling ring to watch a couple of fights.

[starmark2k]

Jon checked the time in his appartment and noticed that tia had been gone for a while. He began to worry she may have been caught by soom bounty hunters, so he decided to go to the cantina and check on her. He was walking across the walkway to the cantina when be began to feel various disturbances in the force as if a great darkness had been extinguished he fell to his knees the disturbance was powerful and made it hard for Jon to concentrate. The disturbance soon passed and Jon desided to ignor the feeling and continue on his journey. He got to the cantina and be gun to look around the bars and tables for Tia. she was no where to be seen so he went to check the other rooms. he peeked in the dueling ring viewing room the only people were a few duelists and some people watching the fights. Suddenly there was a large cheer coming from the the dancing stage a thought to him self ' please don't be her' he moved quickly to the dancing stage to witness Tia dancing on the stage completely upstaging the twi'lek dancers. he rushed over to the stage and grabbed her arm and pulled tia off the stage. Jon put his mouth to tias ear.

 

Jon- Low profile, i saiid low profile.

 

Tia- I'm just having a little fun.

 

Jon- we are on the bounty lists and you are making an exhibition of yourself.

 

Tia- These guys aren't bounty hunters * she blows one of the watchers a kiss*

 

Jon- we have to be more careful, let's go!

 

jon and tia began to walk out the cantina and headed back to their appartment.

[stingerhs]

Cryain left the dueling ring almost annoyed. Those fighters knew nothing of real combat, and it showed. They were there to put on a show, and it was almost disgusting to watch them attempt to make it look real. As Cryain was leaving, he noticed a bit of commotion coming from the dancing room. He was about to enter when he caught a glimpse of both Jon and Tia. Putting up a barrier to prevent himself from being noticed by the Jedi, Cryain did his best to dissappear in the crowd.

 

As they walked out of the cantina towards their appartment, Cryain followed at a distance, and activated his cloaking shield as an extra precaution.

[starmark2k]

Jon and Tia were walking towards their appartment when Jon stopped in his tracks as he did in corillia.

 

Tia- are we being followed again?

 

Jon- I don't know its strange like... RUN!

 

Jon and tia ran to their appartment locking the door behind them. Tia quickly got changed into her armour and grabbed her equipment.

 

Jon- We are going to have to speed up our work here and leave a.s.a.p.

 

Tia- Why?

 

Jon- They tracked us here, and more may follow. The Exchange now have a bounty on our head, along with the sith and black hole, each one is trying to out do each other.

 

Tia- why is that crystal so important?

 

Jon- you heard what atris said. Gives and absorbs the force. If the sith get it they can kill jedi and take their power. if a crime lord gets it they can control the force and use it to their own means.

 

Tia- That would be bad, do you think it could give me...

 

Jon- Don't even think about it, you heard atris it could corrupt you!

 

Tia- Imagine if one of those hunters discovered what it could do.

 

Jon- They would proberly keep it and attempt to take over the galaxy.

 

Tia and jon began to work out a plan how to steal the weapons from davik so they could escape from the planet.

[stingerhs]

Cryain listened in through a small sound amplifier he placed on the door. So, thats what that crystal is all about, he thought to himself. To have that kind of power.....

 

But somehow, Cryain knew that he didn't really want that kind of power. For him, power was being being able outwit your enemy to the point that they no longer knew where he was or what he was going to do next. That kind of terror was Cryain's specialty, and it was that kind of power that suited him. Controlling an individual is one thing, but the galaxy was just not something he was interested in. For him, the real question was now whether or not he really wanted someone else to have that kind of power.

 

The pay would be one of the biggest hauls he ever took in, but would it be worth all of the potential suffering it could cause? Cryain paused in mid-thought and smiled to himself. He was starting to get philosophocal again. But perhaps it was worth him being philosophical and concentrate on destroying something of so much power.

 

Now, the question arised: did he really want to work with a Jedi? They had proven unreliable for him in the past, and they had never understood his tactics or ambitions. Maybe, this time, though, it was worth the risk.

 

Cryain decloaked and contacted Roa through the comlink.

 

Cryain- "Any luck with a place to stay?"

 

Roa- "It was easy. All these places are filled with empty boxes. The landlords are pretty desperate to get them filled, too. I'm in the North Apartments."

 

Cryain- "Wait, thats just down the hall. I'll be right there. Out."

 

Cryain paused and looked at the closed door to the Jedi's apartment. It wouldn't be hard for him to just bust the door open and fight the Jedi. But now, the situation called for a much different solution than just taking the crystal. He wondered if the Jedi would pay him for helping out. Perhaps that was the best solution. Cryain walked down the hall to the new apartment and closed the door behind him.

 

The small datapad automatically rang the doorbell to Jon and Tia's apartment. It read:

 

"Meet me at the cantina tonight. I will come unarmed, and you do the same. This concerns the gemstone in your possession and the prospective buyers. Don't be concerned, I no longer represent any of those buyers, even if I have already shown interest.

 

R. C."

[starmark2k]

Jon and tia began to read the message for the third time when Jon and Tia finished they looked at each other while they contemplated the offer.

 

Tia- It's got to be a Trap.

 

Jon- Perhaps, but they know where we are why didn't they attack.

 

Tia- let's think, ummmm, because you have a lightsaber!

 

Jon- mercs like that wouldn't care to much. no i think we should go.

 

Tia- you are insane, we go unarmed we get killed.

 

Jon- Who said unarmed, i'm skilled with the force. we both go see this guy. If he starts somthing youu run i kick his ass.

 

Jon and Tia walked to the cantina and entered he looked around for the zacrak.

[stingerhs]

Cryain casually entered the cantina with Roa. Neither were wearing armor, nor were they armed in any way. If there was one thing both Cryain and Roa believed in, it was honesty. Backstabbing and betrayal was reserved for extreme situations only, even then, personal honor would come into question.

 

It took some time for Cryain to convince Roa about the situation, but even the old Mandalorian realized the danger of such a powerful relic that came into the possession of the wrong person. It didn't take long for Cryain to spot Jon and Tia. Roa selected a table near a back corner to help promote some privacy.

[starmark2k]

Jon and Tia sat in seats on the table the two mercs selected it was obviously selected for privacy, which made jon think it would be a good place for the two to attack them, however he could sence their thoughts were intirely innocent they seemed to want to help.

 

Jon- so first things first what exactly would a mandalorian and zabrak mercs want with us, other than the bounty on our heads?

[stingerhs]

Roa- "Well, thats an interesting way to start a conversation. Straight to the point, without bothering for any kind of backround. Well then, I'll make it easy for you: we haven't been after you. In fact, you were never the target. That crystal, on the other hand, is what we've been after. However, there has been some... complications as to the why. Usually, its for the money, but I think you can agree that there is a lot more at stake for not only us but also for everyone else. Galactic domination due to a simple crystal is not exactly what we would like to see."

 

Cryain- "And its not just that. You see, I'm sure you've done a bit of research to realize who we are, but the truth is that you don't really have any idea as to who we are. Public records do little to suffice the truth. We have our honor, and we intend on keeping it. By turning in this crystal to the wrong people, we would be in betrayal to everyone else, thus we would lose our honor.

 

We've already been betrayed by the Sith, and I believe it wouldn't take much for anybody else to betray us. The promise of power is too great for those that seek it to even think rationally. That is why we would like to offer whatever assistance to you in destroying that thing before it has a chance to cause any more problems."

 

Roa- "Now, as far as we know, you need to get something from the Exchange. Not an easy task, but we've already been working out a way to get hired by Davik. Our contact is supposed to meet us tommorrow at 2:30 in here. We would like you to join us as a way to get all of us inside."

 

Cryain- "This is entirely up to you, of course. So if you need to ask us questions, I suggest you ask them now."

[starmark2k]

Jon thought for a moment he sensed no deseption from these to mercs. Mercenaries with honor is not a rare thing but a mercenaries honor is to their employer... so why would these wish to help... to save the galaxcy?

 

Jon- You know i beleave you. but there is one thing that we all have in common, we are all wanted. There is a differance in our wanted status, you are wanted by the republic who i prefer to work for and we are wanted by the the sith and crime organizations who you work for.

 

Tia- so why should you trust us and why dhould we trust you.

 

Jon- however you are our only way into daviks bace, so that means we need your help. so we...

 

Jon stopped in mid-sentance and began to look around with a worried look on his face.

 

Jon- I hope you two didn't tell them we were here, as that will be a deal braker.

 

Tia- whats wrong?

 

Jon- A dark jedi master and two knights have just walked in.

[stingerhs]

Cryain looked around, and it didn't take long for him to spot the Dark Jedi.

 

Cryain- "The Sith must have caught word that we followed you here. They've got to pissed about what we did to that Interdictor. Let me handle this."

 

Roa smiled lightly to himself because he had a good feeling as to what Cryain was going to do. Cryain stood up, and his entire demeanor changed. Instead of a nice, calm Zabrak, he changed into a drunken stupor. He stumbled over to the Sith and 'accidentally' stumbled into them.

 

Cryain- "Ooopz, I'm szorrry. Here, *hic* let me buy you fella's a round."

 

Sith- (disgusted)"Get off of me you ****ing drunk."

 

Cryain- "He-*hic*-ey now, no need for in'thults. Just tryna be friendly, is all. (slaps one on the back) Now how 'bout dat drink??"

 

Sith- (now angry)"I'm not one to give out warnings, so lets just take care of you outside." (they grab Cryain by the arm and lead him outside)

__________

 

After a few short minutes, Cryain calmly walked back inside, this time carrying a couple of lightsabers. One of them was covered in blood.

 

Cryain- "Well, I tried to just simply throw them over the edge, but the one wouldn't budge. I'm afraid that I had to use a bit of technique to dispatch him with his own saber. (hands a saber that looks quite ornamental to Jon)Here, you might want to take a closer look at this one."

[starmark2k]

Jon- Hmmm, this is not your average saber. this was made for somthing special.

 

Tia- like what?

 

Jon- Can you pass me that fake crystal we were going to fob these guys off with.

 

Tia- Sure *looks up at the two mercs* No offence but you guys weren't going to tell the differance... so Jon here made an identicle copy.

 

Jon fiddles with the hilt and puts the crystal indide.

 

Jon- A perfect fit... I recognise this saber i've seen it before. This saber was adabted to hold this crystal... Its revans old saber.

[stingerhs]

Roa- "Okay, I guess the question is why they were here with Revan's saber?"

 

Cryain- "Hmm, I fear that this may be a sign that things are shifting within the Sith. Revan I can tolerate because he doesn't bother doing things that don't make a difference in the overall scheme. Malak, on the other hand, would be far more destructive, with little reguard for strategy. Malak would kill just for the pleasure of the kill. Well, that's if I got my intel correctly on that one assignment back a couple of years ago..."

 

Roa- "So, this could signify that Malak now rules the Sith? But how?"

 

Cryain- "Thats a good question. (looks over at Jon)What do you think?"

[starmark2k]

Jon began to think back over recent events and remembered what happened when he was looking for Tia.

 

Jon- earlier today i felt a great disturbance in the force, it was as if a dark shroud had fallen but was quickly replased. And now we find revans saber! this could only mean one thing...

 

Suddenly all the various aliens in the bar started running towards a Holo-net screen. Jon signaled to tia and the others to follow him and check out what was on. he found an un-used Holo-net screen and turned it on.

 

Newscaster- This is holonet news if you have just joined us we have confirmed reports that the sith leader Revan has been killed. He was killed during an attack on his flagship by a jedi task force led by the jedi bastilla shan. Reports indicate bastilla was the one who commited the fatal blow. It is beleived that The ex-jedi Malak has taken command of the sith forces.

 

Jons surpisions were confirmed revan was dead and by bastillia.

 

Jon- I never thought bastilla would kill revan, not the way they used to be together.

[stingerhs]

Cryain- "Well, things are definately getting interesting. But for now, I think it would be best for us to part our ways until after the meeting I have tommorrow. Hopefully, things will work out the way they're supposed to."

[starmark2k]

Jon- Untill tomorrow.

 

Jon and Tia then left to go to their appartment for some rest.

[stingerhs]

Cryain left the apartment. It had been a sleepless night for him, but he was used to it by now. Roa had left earlier to make sure that they arrived seperately. Roa's job was to oversee the meeting from a nearby table. Roa made sure to wear his full Mandalorian armor to ensure that nobody bothered him (unless they were really drunk).

 

Cryain began to go over things a bit in his mind, as he normally did. He wondered if he should appear threatening to the Exchange Representative, or to just relax and see what kind of terms that will come up. Cryain's reputation alone would probably get him an easy meeting with Davik. Mercenaries with Cryain's status don't usually bother trying to get work. Work comes to them. But even then, sometimes a reputation alone isn't enough to..."AAAUURRGH!!!"

 

Pain shot through his leg. Feeling it, Cryain felt blood already seeping through his leg. He was still inside the apartment complex, and nobody was around. The pain was intensifying in his leg. Ripping open the pant leg, he could see that one of his old wounds had somehow split open. Taking out his emergency kit, Cryain quickly assembled the tools that would close the wound. Carefully, Cryain began to wince as the tools began to burn the wound closed. The smell of burning flesh intoxicated the small hallway. All Cryain could do was to hold back the pain in his mind so that he could concentrate on the wound.

 

Finally, it was closed again, and Cryain collapsed on the floor in pain. He had just lost a lot of blood, and the red pool around him was definate proof. He was beginning to feel faint. Going back to his emergency kit, Cryain grabbed an injector. It was full of adrenaline, and Cryain emptied it into his body. Then, he pulled out a unit of replacement fluid for his lost blood. He hooked it up in a special way so that it would slowly drain into his body without it being visible. Standing up, he limped back to the apartment to change into his armor.

_________

 

Cryain arrived at the cantina. He was still a half-hour early. He found Roa and gave him a very discrete signal that he had arrived. Cryain got a water and mixed up the healing crystals in it. The crystals started to work again, although Cryain distinctively noticed that the pain wasn't being numbed this time. Cryain walked over to the table he had picked out and waited.

_________

 

A man walked over to the table and sat down opposite of Cryain. It was the Exchange Representative.

 

Exchange- "Rytanya Cryain, I presume."

 

Cryain- "Yes. Is the meeting a go?"

 

Exchange- "Davik would like to meet you in person. Transportation is ready."

 

Cryain- "Then lets get moving."

[starmark2k]

Jon was meditating in the middle of a room, although he had left the order he still knew the dangers of the dark side and meditated to help stay neutral. His mind was trying to look in to the coming future, but he was having problems, it was shrowded, uncertain. His thoughts began to wander to the past back when he was still a jedi on dantooine, He remembered how he used to teach the young apprentices combat stratergies and tactics, He began to connect them to resent events, how he noticed revans mind was greatly strategic even all those years ago and how bastillia's special ability was first noticed by him. When suddenly his mind flashed with images that seemed to be of the future but it was of sith troops on Taris...lots of them.

 

Tia came storming in to the room carrying a datapad and in her combat gear. Jon opened his eyes and raised to his feet.

 

Tia- Jon we got a problem.

 

Jon- What is it.

 

Tia- You know those cameras i set up around the appartment block... Well they just picked up twenty sith in the elevator.

[stingerhs]

Cryain sat quietly inside the speeder. The Exchange thugs had made sure that Cryain couldn't see outside so that he wouldn't know where he was going. However, Roa was following at a distance in the Re'allis, so that Roa and Cryain could fullfill their end of the bargain to Jon and Tia. Well, just in case things didn't go well inside Davik's complex. Roa watched as the speeder entered a spot and landed. Roa watched as Cryain was led out. To make sure that the Exchange wasn't just simply trying to fool him, Roa circled the complex several times to see if any speeders came out. Satisfied that they weren't trying to fool him, Roa went back to the landing pad.

_________

 

Cryain was led into a large room with an elaborate chair set up in the center. It reminded Cryain of throne rooms set up in systems led by monarchs, tyrants, or dictators. Davik Kain was sitting in the seat, flanked by a Mandalorian and a short man wearing black goggles. As he approached the "throne", Davik's eyes just simply followed him.

 

Then, Cryain was stopped directly in front of Davik.

 

Davik- "So, this is the man responsible for bringing the Sith to Taris."

 

*smack* Cryain fell forward to the ground as one of the thugs butted a rifle into the back of his head. He tried to catch himself, but he was still feeling woozy from the earlier blood loss, so he fell flat.

 

Davik- "So, do those wounds seem so harmless now, Rytanya? Or should I once again remind you how costly they were?"

 

One of the thugs pulled out a vibroblade and stepped towards Cryain. Realizing the danger, Cryain pushed upwards and kicked towards the vibroblade wielding thug. The kick missed as the thug reflexed backwards. Cryain started to feel pain in his unhealed wounds once again. The medication was already wearing off, and it wouldn't be long before one of his wounds would simply split open again.

 

Davik- "I'm sure you can feel the pain beginning to return by now. Your medication is thinning. Surely you must realize that your stuff does originate from the Exchange, and then ultimately me. We've been modifying your doses Cryain, and I see that our efforts are already bearing fruit."

 

Cryain winced, as one of his wounds was starting to split open once again. This one was on his back. Blood was starting to seep through his armor.

_________

 

Roa watched the whole thing in the corner of the room, cloaked. His anger was rising to the surface. Roa pulled out his sniping rifle and started to line up a shot. Unfortunately, the thugs were disrupting his line of sight to the short man and Davik (Roa wouldn't even think of shooting another Mandalorian). So, he simply lined up a shot with the thug with the vibroblade. Roa decloaked as he prepared to fire.

[starmark2k]

Jon and Tia was prepareing for an attack from those sith troops Tia had set up some mines and used her stealth skills to get around the sith without being noticed. The sith aproached the door to Jon and Tias appartment. They begun to brake into the room, It took them some time to open the door but when they finally did a mine exploded. 4 sith got flung back and were dead before hitting the wall. The remaining sith were heartless and ignored their fallen comrades and continued to enter the room. Jon was standing by the back of the room with his eyes closed and head down.

 

Sith- Jon Freeman, Give us the crystal.

 

Jon slowly raised his head and then opened his eyes to face the enemy that did not know he had just used the force to increase his speed, agility and strength. He ignited his saber and within a blink of an eye he had already moved and beheaded one sith and stabbed another in the chest. By this point Tia had decloaked behind them and threw a granade at the back, Knocking out half a dozen men. Jon quickly disposed of the remaining sith with his lightsaber and great speed. Tia and Jon moved the bodies and put them in their appartment until they could dispose of them properly. Jon noticed a datapad on one of the sith troops and took it to read. After a few moments a look of shook came across his face.

 

Tia- Somthing wrong?

 

Jon- Our situation has worsend

 

Tia- Great! How?

 

Jon- In 10 hours the sith are going to begin a planetary blockade of Taris... as part of a plan to intercept the republic ship the Endire Spire.

 

Tia- I hope Roa and Cyain can be done by then.
