The Search for Revan

[LordRevan123]

William turned to Dwain and answered calmly. "Relax, Natalie and Zayne can take care of themselves."

 

William continued his observation of the wall, "I just hope the two won't try to fight back."

[Niftyeye]

"Umm... you can be the blind man" She said cheekily with a slight smirk.

 

"Also, any idea on where are we getting beggar clothing?" Zayne asked, Natalie had to admit she had no idea, she then glanced to the cargo hold door that had automatically shut, however it didnt lock.

 

"Well... with a bit of luck we will have plenty of time to.... dirty some clothes or find something lying around here..."

[DrPhil2501]

"Relax, Natalie and Zayne can take care of themselves."

 

Dwain hung his head down. "I hope your right..."

 

Suddenly the door of the apartment slid open, and the HK droid stepped wirte in. The photoreceptors glew orange when it stared at them.

 

"Request: If you are to head to the moon, you are to take me with you."

 

"That sounded more of a command, droid!" Dwain commented.

 

"Statement: And even so, my dutie here is complete. I must now yet return to my current owner, but to do that I must temporarily form an alliance with you... straight after the Chiss complete their registration of your ship!"

[Jason Skywalker]

Suddenly, a little something popped up on Zayne's mind.

 

"Hum, Nat? How do we know if when we get out, they won't be out there ready for anything, guns held and aimed high?" He asked, sort of shocked and feeling stupid for not having thought of that before. And then another something popped up, "Wait, doesn't this ship have like, you know, secret compartments for, well, escaping or such?"

[Niftyeye]

Natalie quickly got out of the box and entered into the cargo hold, ignoring the protests of Zayne and she quickly looked around, the cargo door was shut and the rest of the ship seemed quiet, not even the humm of the engines were on.

 

"How am I suppose to know? This isnt my ship." She replied, prefering to walk out and be a greeter than sneak around.

[DrPhil2501]

((*cracks knuckles* we all need a break every once in a while))

 

Dwain stared at the HK droid. "Great... How long will registration take exactly?"

 

"Speculation: Oh, it shall take no more than a few minutes. In the meantime, I suggest we start heading down towards your ship. But if there is anything else thats needed to be done here, I suggest you do it."

 

"Hang on. There are like... what? Three moons on this Ice Rock, yeah? Just which one are we supposed to get to?"

 

"Answer: Oh, I shall transfer the coordinates to your ship once we reach there."

 

The droid walked towards the door of the apartment. Then stopped, and turned its head to the others.

 

"Aggrivation: We're leaving this instant, meatbags!"

[Jason Skywalker]

"Well, we've got do to something! Who knows what's happening to poor Dwain and poor Will and poor Ranis, well, not exactly poor but still! We've got to be heroes!" He shouted with a stupid conviction that would convince no one. He looked at Natalie, who didn't look impressed. Zayne scratched the top of his head,

 

"Ah, screw it then, let's just wait until they come back, shouldn't be long."

[Niftyeye]

Natalie looked at zayne with a not-so-happy look, and sat back down close to him.

 

"Now what.." She asked, feeling a little tense.

[Jason Skywalker]

"What, didn't i say anything about it? Last time i came here, they just checked out the ship, took the cargo, didn't pay and let us off shortly after. Then again, where did i land last time?" Zayne told her, oblivious that that piece of information WAS vital and would have made them not speculate on what to do, "I'm pretty sure i've told you guys..."

[Niftyeye]

Natalie looked at him with a concerned look.

 

"What? Were did you land last time?" She asked, looking at him closley.

[DrPhil2501]

The crew followed the droid through the city streets. Walking through those curvy tunnels and corridors was like an entire civilisation living insisde of a bunker. Though from looking out a window, Dwain could see that the entire complex was built around an ice cavern.

 

HK-47 led them to the hanger where there ship was standing. Two Chiss guards had just walked out of it, obviously finishing an expection. He wondered if they had encountered the stranded Zayne and Natalie.

 

He walked up the ramp, feeling the satisfying warmth of the ship touching his skin.

[Jason Skywalker]

Zayne continued his stream of thoughts, furiously trying to remember where he landed. Then it him. At that time, everyone on the ship was drunk. Madly blushing, he covered up, "Um, they probably just gave the wrong coordinates," He told Natalie as then he heard a sound from outside, "Hey, hear that?"

[Niftyeye]

Natalie slowly turned from looking to Zayne toward the sound, it was the clanking of people moving up the ramp, and by the sounds of things, there was quite a few of them.

 

"It could be more chiss, get your sights on that door." She quickly raised her rifle and leaned it on the side of the crate, focused on the door to the rest of the ship....

[DrPhil2501]

As Dwain entered the ship he saw the glint of a rifle aiming at him from behind a crate. He smiled.

 

"Hey, what did I do wrong? Something I said?" he grinned as he recongnised it was Natalie and Zayne. He introduced the droid.

 

"Eh, we have a new temporary passenger on board. HK-47... he's an assassin droid once owned by Revan."

[Jason Skywalker]

As the door opened, Zayne prepared to pull his trigger, ready to kil-

 

"Hey, what did I do wrong? Something I said?" He recognized that voice. It was...

 

"Boss?" Zayne blurted out in confusion. He looked behind him. There were Will and Ranis. But at his side there was a, droid?

 

"Eh, we have a new temporary passenger on board. HK-47... he's an assassin droid once owned by Revan."

 

"Oh, but that's quite wonderful! An assassin droid! Great, just what we needed, someone who won't shut up about killing" He remarked sarcastically, "Still, let's get the hell out of this rock now, shall we?"

[Niftyeye]

Natalie looked at the droid with mild fear, and her sights began to shake, obviously there had been a history between them, or atleast a droid of that type.

 

"Keep that thing away from me." She blurted to Dwain, before standing up.

 

"What happened? You had me--.... us worried sick!" She demanded, feeling a little annoyed about being stuck in the cargo hold for a few hours.

[DrPhil2501]

"Keep that thing away from me."

 

HK-47 glared down upon Natalie through the growing photorecepters.

"Retaliation: Like I would want to be anywhere near enough proximaty to hear the constant sloshing of your meatbag anatomy... meatbag!"

 

"What happened? You had me--.... us worried sick!"

 

"Missed us already? Dwain grinned. "We spoke to the high council, and they said they found some strange signals from one of their orbiting moons. They havent had the time to investigate, but they came into contact with the Jedi Exile, who is now on moon itself."

 

Dwain pointed at the HK unit. "This droid has the coordinates for the moon, and was only here temporarily. Thats why he's coming with us so he can reunite with his former master..."

[Jason Skywalker]

"The Jedi Exile eh?" Zayne said, holding his chin with his hand, "Well, get ready, i'm anxious enough to leave this planet."

 

Making his way to the cockpit, he looked behind: "Get onto your seats ladies and gentlemen. And droid."

[Niftyeye]

Natalie pushed past the droid and headed to the seating area in the center of the ship, she had a bad experience with an HK droid and didnt want to repeat it.

 

"Alright im ready, anything else that needs to be done?" She said on her headset, feeling a little useless on the ship.

[DrPhil2501]

Alright im ready, anything else that needs to be done?"

 

"Just stand there and look pretty!" said Dwain through the headset, as he accompanied Zayne into the cockpit.

 

The Strider exited the hanger and back out into the ice surface of Csilla. Dwain had a slight feeling they'll return again shortly, but this will will be the moment they will meet Revan after this time.

 

The freighter left the atmosphere. If the droids coordinates were correct, the Sith base was on the farest moon away from the planet. They were getting closer to the marshy-like moon, though there were no reading of any settlements of any kind, according to the computer.

 

The sudden sound of an alarm was made. Dwain ran a diagnostic of the ship...

 

"What the--" he said aloud. "We're being pulled in by a tractor beam... but where is it comming from?"

[Niftyeye]

Natalie was sitting thinking about recent events were the slight humming of the ship suddenly stopped, and the engines stopped moving...

 

She then heard Dwain over the comm.

 

"Ill get to the turret and have a look!" She was on her feet and sprinting to the turret before she even finished the sentence.

 

She climbed into the seat and swivelled in the turret, trying to spot what was pulling them....

 

(I guess its up to you to say what she says ))

[Jason Skywalker]

"Tractor beam?!" Zayne shouted, surprised, then talking to the commlink, "Someone, get into the turrets, NOW!"

 

He then started to stabilize the ship's axis and to pull them out of the tractor beam, "Godspeed fellas."

[Niftyeye]

(Been a few days)

 

Natalie swivelled in the turret, scanning for targets, it reminded her of days serving aboard a Republic Hammerhead ship.. she missed those days sometimes.

 

She felt the ship shake, obviously it was struggling to get out of the beam, but atleast it was struggling and not being dragged.

 

"Im looking.. and I dont see anything."

[DrPhil2501]

"Im looking.. and I dont see anything."

 

Dwain couldn't see anything either. It made no sense... unless.

 

"It must be some kind of cloaking device, which is why we can't see what ever is pulling us in!"

 

His theory was confirmed when a some sort of space station solidified out of the dark space. The station was shaped like a downward stake, with viewing towers spiraling all around it. It was almost looking at a spiral-shaped drill.

 

A ship slowly entered the gaping hanger entrance.

 

"I got a bad feeling about this..." said Dwain.

[Niftyeye]

Natalie sat in silence, watching the ship above her get ever closer, the turret itself had also locked down, meaning they were... in a spot of trouble.

 

"Captain... does this ship have any hidden compartments? I once had to.. hide on a ship, and they ejected us for thinking we were just hovering useless junk.." She asked over the comm, still staring at the hulk above.
