"Aw, you're no fun. It's never a good fight when you have to goad a pussy like you into it. You bore me, Mr. Something-or-Other."
Astarte turned her attention to the man who had mentioned that he was from Akai Kumo. "What about you? Want to have some fun?" Astarte brandished her blade playfully.

"I see, then you are too much of a coward to strike the first blow." said Kaiber, who off handily wondered if such a gload would work against one such as her, but it mattered not, as his original business was not with the girl, but the man before him.

Arashi heard what the man had to say then sat and listened to the man and the girl argue for a while.. Arashi soon caught on to the fact that the man without the name was of a good character.. He wouldn't strike the girl first even with all her goading and annoyance.. Arashi was growing rather irratated by her..
He heard her ask him if he wanted to fight her but he skipped the question for the time being to talk to the other man..
"The Akai Kumo's goals are quite simple actually.. Are main goal is to destroy the Jedi and The Sith.. They have held this galaxy in turmoil for far to long.. The Jedi are known as the peace keepers of the galaxy but as long as the Jedi are around the Sith will be here to.. Many have tried to destroy the Sith but they just keep coming back.. For what purpose? To gain power and destroy the Jedi.. You get rid of their true enemy and they are nothing.. they will soon begin to test theirselves against eachother more and more which will make things much easier to take them down.. The Jedi are the reason the Sith are here.. Join us and you can help bring true peace to the Galaxy.. I can tell you now however our numbers are small.. But that is the purpose of Byss, and the recruiting.. What do you say?" Arashi said a bit winded from the miniature speech he just went through.
"And as for you little girl you seem a bit twisted.. It just wouldn't be right for me to fight a young girl who isn't even all their in her mind.." Arashi said looking down at the cut she made on her arm..
Arashi really didn't want to fight this girl.. Arashi would have had no problem facing someone older but this girl looked about 10 or 11 years old.. It just wasn't right to Arashi.. even if she was a little twisted..
Arashi knew she was most likely going to attack one of them though.. It was actually quite humorous to think she wouldn't.. Arashi didn't like the idea of fighting her but he would defend himself against her if nesecarry..

Kaiber found Arashi(just noticed this is just like the name he made up and cain used.... lol Carashi!)[/end ooc]'s analysis humorous.
"The Sith will not simply be destoryed by taking out the jedi. It is foolish to think otherwise. Their lust for power runs deeper then destorying the jedi.... Tell me..... have you ever heard of a man called Darth Cain?" asked Kaiber knowing that most files about ancient history had nothing about Darth Cain. "He was a sith, and with the trainning of one man, he was able to enslave the known galaxy at the time. The jedi had been whipped out, and the sith sprung forth like flies."
Kaiber wondered if they where really going to strike against the jedi first, because it was very foolish, since they would be helping the Sith's goals advance further. They might as well be agents of the sith themselves if they wished to destory the jedi.
"On one hand you have a passive group, that wont attack unless they get wind that your going to destory them, however, we have a group that your either with them or against them, and doesn't care if your out to destory them or not, they will still kill you." Continued Kaiber not knowing if his logic was being heard at all. "Tell me, now which seems to the one you should take out first?"

"Coward? Me?" Astarte answered Mr. Something-or-Other. "Not at all! But there's no fun in attacking someone who has no intent to fight! How boring is that? But I tell you what, Mr. Something-or-Other, how about I do you a favor and you do me a favor? You don't seem to like this other Akai Kumo guy, and I don't seem to like you. If you leave so that I don't have to smell your pitiful stench, I'll kill that guy for you! What do ya say?"

OOC: Ha I never thought about that.. I just used Arashi cause I was thinking through a lot of names and it sounded good.. End OOC --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arashi thought through the logic that the man brought up and was beggining to see that what the man was saying made much more sense..
Arashi heard the girl once again speak another un important rant..
"You could only try little girl.." Arashi said darkly, growing to the point of which he no longer cared weather he killed the girl or not..
Arashi was a different kind of man.. Which this girl would soon find out if she kept trying his paitientce.. Arashi had a much darker side than normally shown.. Normally Arashi could handle it but when pushed to a certain point it became much harder to controll.. Arashi would become nothing more than an un-controlable monster..
Arashi then turned to the man again and replied to him..
"Hmm.. You do have a point.. It seems as though my knowledge of the Jedi and the Sith isn't as high as yours either.. Another reason why we could use you.. These are just my views on the matter though.. There is no planned strike on either faction at the moment.. Our only goal for now is to gain more forces and recruits.. We are much to weak at the moment to try anything against them.." Arashi said to the man..

"I can only try, you say? You're a funny man, Akai Kumo! But I bet you'll be even funnier when you're begging me for your life!" None of Astarte's words were filled with hatred, threatening tone, or anger. All the while that she was goading the enemy before her, she kept that wide and maddening smile on her face, and her voice was constantly in her crazily manic tone.
"Now, then! I'll make you a bet! If you can beat me, I'll join your little group and help you get this nuisance out of your way," Astarte gestured to Mr. Something-or-Other. "But if you can't, I'll go join one of those two groups you're trying to destroy, just for the fun of it!"
Giving one more horrible laugh of moonstruck proportion, she lifted her black Vibrosword and darted towards the man from Akai Kumo...

Arashi saw the attack coming and, with the help of his new armor, quickly darted around and behind the girl.. Once behind her he quickly raised his blade and brought it down towards the girl hard..
"You are the only nuisance that needs taken care of little girl." Arashi said druring the process in which he darted around her and brought his blade down toward her..

As Astarte charged recklessly at the man from Akai Kumo, she failed to react in time as he zoomed around her. She swung at air, missing everything. Still smiling, she turned around to look behind her, just in time to catch the fast-approaching steel right in her face.
The blade slashed through flesh and bone, and stopped right about at the bottom of her left eye. She stood for a moment, staring at the sword. Yet soon enough, she let out another round of mad laughter.
Grasping the man's blade with her hand, she pulled it out of her head, which immediately began to give off steam.
"Wow, you're pretty fast there! I didn't even see you until it was too late! But you don't seem very strong... I know! I'll call you Mr. Speed-Weakling! That suites you perfectly!"
All the while that she chatted away, the gaping wound in her head sizzled and steamed, melting into itself and regenerating. Not long after she had finished her taunt, the wound was now entirely gone, save for a scar in the place where the sword had struck.
Lifting her sword and smiling maniacally, she gave another laugh. "That was fun, but I'm not satisfied yet! Now, let's see how you handle me when I'm serious!"

The Memory of Corellia exited hyperspace over the planet Byss, with Jor Halcyon behind the controls, and Kell Loran in the copilots seat.
"Rita, sync our navigation standards with Byss air traffic control and start 30 minute comms with the Mackinaw." Jor ordered.
The ships AI hologram appeared over Jor and Kells head. "Navacomputer synced. opening comms with RNS Mackinaw.... stand by.... comms open. Their communications watchstander has agreed to 30 minute comms."
Kell glanced over to Jor. "Whats the Mackinaw?"
"A Warbird-class republic cruiser. She's the primary Republic Defense Force flag ship in the Beshqek system. Rita will call them every 30 minutes to give them an update on our operations and position. if we fail to check in on time they'll know somethings up." Jor answered.
"Ok, smart. So whats the plan?" Kell said.
Jor didn't answer right away. He pulled up their synced navigation data on the planet and, working from the police report he found the location of the town in which it took place in. "Rita, send word to Byss air traffic control that we're landing at those coordinates. If they have a problem tell them it's Jedi business."
Rita's hologram flickered a little as her attention left maintaining her appearance to to communicating with the droid brain at Byss Air traffic control. A few seconds later her hologram brightened again and she looked down at Jor. "Byss ATC authorizes you to break lines of traffic and warns that the area we'll be landing in is outside Byssian government control."
"Good." Jor said. "Kell, i'm going to do a flyby on the area to get some intel, then i'm going to drop you off. If you run into trouble, double click your link and i'll be there in flash, suited up and locked and loaded."
Kell nodded, his face hardening as the situation got serious. If violence was going to ensue, he'd be venerable. He didn't have his lightsaber yet and he'd left the Sith blade back on Yannibar.
The Memory of Corellia swooped down low, breaking through the atmosphere of Byss, bound for landfall.

Arashi stood in awe as he watched the girl just pull the blade out of her head..
"What the hell.." Arashi said as he watched the wound heal almost as soon as it was made..
Arashi ran backwards away from the girl keeping his eyes locked on her as he moved at a great speed..
"Lets see if the bitch can withstand fire.." Arashi thought to himself as he raised and pointed his blade at her..
"Brisingr!" Arashi called out as the flames began to spiral around his blade and blast outwards toward the girl at incredible speed..
Arashi hoped this would do the trick but he had his doubts.. This girl was definantly different..

"Ooh, fire! How fun!" Astarte chirped with joy at the dancing wave of flames shooting towards her. She pulled out a rather massive, heavily modified blaster pistol that was so gaudy one would think that a skinny girl like her didn't have the strength to lift it.
Plunging her sword into the ground, she stepped up onto the black weapon and pushed off, leaping clear over the oncoming flames. Taking careful aim of her target over her shoulder, she fired three rounds.

Arashi looked up at the girl as she fired off the three rounds.. Using the increased reflexes and speed his armor gave him he sheethed his blade, cartwheeled out of the way of the first two shots, and did a backflip landing behind where the third hit..
Arashi then unsheathed his blade once more.. "Time to try something different.." Arashi said to himself..
"Brisingr Blade!" Arashi called out.. this time instead of flames bursting outwards from the blade the flames spiral around it and soon engulf the blade..
Arashi jumped into the air directly at the girl swinging the enflamed blade in an X formation at her..

The Memory swoops down low over the landscape, staying below the level of the buildings. Jor pulls the cargo barge up to the edge of the town and puts it into a hover. "ok Kell, your good to go."
Kell clicks his link in acknowledgment and jumps off the boarding ramp. The ship was still a good 20 feet of the ground so his boots landed with a thud and he bent his knees to absorb the shock. The information Rita had gathered from the ships sensors told them that there had been weapon discharges to the west.
He stood up and assessed himself. nothing seemed injured from the drop and all his equipment was still with him, so he took off into the town, heading west. He didn't know if they'd get help from the civilians on this one or not, but he assumed they wouldn't so he stuck to the shadows and removed his Jedi robe. Under it he wore a simple shirt, jeans and a nerf hyde jacket.
"i'm planet side and ok. Moving west." Kell reported into his link.
"Roger that." Jor's voice came back. "I'm moving the Memory over the town and having Rita station keep."
"Where will you be?" Kell asked.
"Suiting up." Jor responded.
Kell smiled and doubled clicked the comm. then started running again. His datapad showing him which direction the weapon discharges had come from.

"Aw, that's not even entertaining! Why would you keep the fire on your sword? How's it even gonna hit me?" Showing surprising aptitude for evasion, the slender frame of Astarte weaved in the air so as to dodge both ends of the X-shaped swipes thrown her way.
Of course, her ability to land on her feet was something she was still working on, and so she landed awkwardly with a dull thud. Glancing at the lower portion of her left arm, she noticed immediately the broken wrist.
"Now this won't due. I don't think I can fight with this useless thing, but healing up again this soon is sort of hard for me... oh, well. I guess I can cut my losses!" Grabbing the black Vibrosword that she had plunged into the ground moments before, she cleaved her left hand right off. So focused on "cutting her losses" was the girl that she didn't even notice how ungodly hot the metal of her sword was thanks to the wave of fire that had passed over it before.
Hand burning unnoticed, she tossed her useless appendage aside. "I'll fix that later," she mused to herself before turning back to her foe. "Well, Mr. Speed-Weakling, you're getting boring. Any other fun things to show me?"
