Arashi took another hit off of his ciggerette and pondered what she said for a second.. He finally came to understanding that she was right about this and It would indeed help greatly..
"You're right.. That is a very good Idea.. I'll take you to the Sith on Korriban.. Your a bit too... Different to become a Jedi, and allthough you're right about me not liking Kaiber but he also had a good point.. The Sith will have to be our first target.." Arashi said as he took another hit..
"You will have to keep your mind away from the Akai Kumo for the most part while your there though.. It wouldn't be good if they were to find out and trust me they have their ways of getting information out of you.. Like earlier I noticed the Jedi was probing your mind.. They have already got some information on you now.. The Jedi already have a lead on us now as well, however the Sith don't.. Another good reason to start with the Sith.." Arashi said while staring at the girl..
"One more question though.. Are you in with the Akai Kumo.. Or are you using us as a ride to get to the Sith or Jedi just to join them and learn their techniques.." Arashi asked seriously.. He didn't plan on taking her if that was her motives.. "And plus it seems my partner in co-leadership of this faction has some understanding of the force as well.." Arashi said pulling out a flask filled with whiskey taking a quick drink from it..
This day had him stressed and he still needed to get control over Byss somehow.. Now that his one oppurtunity in doing so laid dead on the ground nearby it would be a bit harder..

((OoC:  New format FTW? xD)) ------ As he spoke, Astarte tried to retain all the information as best she could. So the Jedi would likely reject her because of her personality? That meant that the Sith, who resided on Korriban, were the ones that would have to be her target for now. Since she wasn't well versed on either organization, she would just have to hope that this was the appropriate choice. Additionally, it was explained that the sensation she had felt before was her mind being probed, and that the one called Jor was with the Jedi. So naturally, wouldn't it make sense for her to learn from the natural enemies of the Jedi if she had been beaten by them? Surely the Sith had means of fighting such mental invasions, and it would be one of her top priorities to learn such techniques. However, there was another problem. She had been asked whether or not she was truly with Akai Kumo, or if she was merely using them as a resource to reach the others. She had no intention of actually assisting the Sith or the Jedi, just learning their techniques so that she could fight on par with them. But did she intend to treat Akai Kumo the same way? "Well, I suppose it would be pretty foolish of me to betray my only potential ally at the moment, wouldn't it? So I guess I'm an ally of you and your Akai Kumo. By the way, I still don't even know your name. I'm Astarte." |

(OOC: Sorry bout that. I normally format it better but I was in a bit of a hurry lol. Working on other Rp's at the time as well you see.)
Arashi grinned a bit hearing that she had decided to ally with the Akai Kumo.. "My name is Arashi Tanka." He said with a nod as he took another hit off of his ciggerette. [
"And like I said we have a member already with some understanding of the force.. And we have other means of power we use rather than just the force.. As you may have saw from my greatly increased speed, and this here sword.." Arashi said with a smirk.."But that kind of power will only be permitted to you if you become a full fledged member or the Akai Kumo." Arashi said before taking the last hit from his ciggerette, flicking it onto the ground and rubbing his foot over it to put it out.
"Also I believe you will need some info on the Sith if you intend to go through their ranks.. The Sith are the more evil faction of the two.. Only seeking power and the death of all Jedi.. Some join the Sith out of seeking power to gain revenge and others just for their natural born lust for death and destruction.." Arashi said taking another drink from his flask..
"I belive you will fit right in.. However before I take you there I could use your help taking control over this area.. This is where our base of operations is intended to be and where we will try and recruit more members for now. You have any info about this place? If so we may be able to finish what I started before that annoyance, Kaiber showed up.." Arashi said with a smirk.

"Arashi..." Astarte said softly to no one in particular. It was a rather peculiar name, wasn't it?
But rather than focusing on the oddity that was this man's name, she chose to concentrate on taking in the information he was spouting. Apparently, Arashi gained his power through means of his sword and armor. So did that mean that he was incapable of using those powers without his equipment? And then she heard that she herself might be given such equipment and powers were she to pledge herself a fully fledged member of Akai Kumo...
Then Arashi changed the subject to detail some things about the Sith, most specifically the fact that they were supposedly the more evil between the two major factions. Astarte gave a smile stemming from her oddly distorted view of enjoyment when Arashi told her that she would fit right in.
Yet apparently, her visit to the Sith would have to wait. Arashi requested that she detail things about the local region so as to aid him in taking control of it. If she was to get what she wanted, she would have to help him get what he wanted.
"I've lived here for a while, so I know a lot. Basically, this place doesn't have much in the way of government. The police force is incompetent, as evidenced by how easily I can get away from them when they try to catch me for committing crimes like prostitution and murder."
She looked around happily, almost as if she hoped a policeman would appear to attempt another capture of her. Returning her gaze onto Arashi, she continued.
"But really, this place isn't worth taking over. It's orderless, lawless, and useless. If you and your friend are the only two members of Akai Kumo, it'd be impossible to hold control over this place anyway, especially with that Kaiber guy running around."
At this point, Astarte recalled something that Arashi had said about his sword, and took her own blade in hand. "By the way, can you look at this? It has weird writing on it that I can't read. Maybe you can understand what it says."

Arashi nodded and took the blade from her for a closer examination.. "Hmm.. Very.. different." Arashi said as he twisted it around in his hands a bit.. "I can understand some of the writings but not much.. Where did you get it?" Arashi asked curiously.. He thought for a second and pondered that maybe it was an Akai Kumo blade itself but how she would come up with one he didn't know.. He decided before he came to any conclusions he would figure out where she got it from and talk to Exturien about it..

"That's the thing... I don't remember where I got it from. My memory doesn't go very far back, and as far back as I can recall, I've always had the blade. It's just something that's always been with me, even though I can't understand what the writing means."
Astarte wondered if Arashi might have known something about the blade, as he remained silent for a second or so as he examined the details etched into the blade's black steel. But it ended up being that he could only interpret some of the writing. Astarte would have asked for a translation, but what good would an incomplete translation be to her?
Sighing, she reached out her arm, indicating that she would like it back, and then she spoke again.
"So, are you really serious about taking over the planet? By yourself? It would be almost impossible to storm the Governor's building, and you don't seem to be the suicidal type."

Arashi pondered on the blade for a moment. He didn't have enough translated for it to be of any use to her. "I can't really tell you much about it.. But Exturien might be able to shed some light on it." Arashi handed her back her blade and smirked a bit at the next thing she had to say. "Not suicidal.. A bit insane maybe.." Arashi said taking another drink out of his flask.. Another side of Arashi was about to emerge.. The one he always tried his best to hold back but was letting it slip due to all the stress he had been under..
This side he kept locked up all the time was a bit like the girls attitude, however not as extreme.. Whenever Arashi let it take over he was up for anything and his skills were increased highly.. He used it to his advantage many times back when the Velka Knights were around..
It was due to some experiment he was put in during his service as a velka knight. It made him much more aggressive and murder addicted. He had won more battles than he normaly would have with it however. Almost like an oppostite personality.. The only true downside was his lust for murder and that after the effects wore off he wouldn't be able to remember anything that had happened.
Arashi downed the rest of his flask and let a twisted grin come across his face. "Would you mind leading the way?" Arashi said as he pushed off the wall and awaited Astarte's reply.

Well, this certainly became rather interesting. As she received the blade from Arashi, Astarte detected a few unusual changes in his mannerisms, most notably in his smirk. It wasn't as if she was unnerved by it, as it had an all too familiar feel to it. At the mention of storming the Governor's building, Arashi had seemed to be engulfed in a malicious aura, one that did not quite match the way he had been in the previous battle.
Astarte smiled as well, though not in a similar fashion. Hers was more typical of a mentally unstable person, and she accompanied her smile with a short outburst of laughter. Perhaps this Arashi guy was more similar to her than she thought. They might even have fun in this suicidal effort.
"Sure, I can lead the way for you. It's about a mile or so in that direction," she indicated by pointing to her left, into the more densely populated regions of the city. Turning towards the massively defended edifice, Astarte began to walk off, swaying slightly with every other step. Apparently, the energy she used to fuel her Regeneration had not yet returned, and she was feeling mildly fatigued.

Arashi let a twisted laugh of his own out as the psychotic behavior began to come into more effect over him. "Lets do this then Astrate." He said following behind her..
Even his walk had changed slightly. The form of his walk was even beggining to have more silent deadly effect. Arashi pulled out another ciggerette and lit it up as he followed her..
He took a hit off of it as he looked around seeing the city becoming more densley populated. He smirked a little feeling he was gonna have a lot of fun with this one.. He took another hit off of his ciggerette before letting another twisted laugh out.
"This is gonna be fun." Arashi said looking towards the place they were headed. Arashi was already seeing the pictures of dead bodies and blood fill his mind like a movie in fast forward.

As they strode confidently, albeit with a hint of madness and blood lust in their step, the pair of newly introduced allies drew many eyes. Bystanders and citizens cast glances of fear and discomfort, edging away from the two as if they bore some contagious disease. True, the duet certainly looked crazed and murderous, what with their openly bearing weapons and, having just recently come from another battle, giving off an air of hunger for more battle.
Astarte was usually quite fast with her recovery process, and her Regeneration, despite how heavily it taxed her energies, kept her in prime condition most of the time. However, her current energies were still low, and so she was taking a more leisurely pace than she typically would have. Yet she could sense the undoubtedly vibrant desire for battle, murder, and blood that exuded from Arashi. And so she sped her gait.
Soon enough, they had come to the Governor's building. It was a large edifice, fortified with quite a fair bit of equipment. There were dozens of men roaming the inside of the gates, patrolling in case of some disturbance. Obviously, they were about to become very busy.
Turning to Arashi, Astarte spoke, "Listen. There's a small opening in the gate on the other side, where the vents come out. I can sneak in through that way. But I don't think it would be wise for us to go together, it would draw attention to us. Let's split up. You seem like you can get in without having to sneak anyway."
Not waiting for a response, Astarte turned down an alleyway and headed for the far side of the compound. If she was lucky, Arashi would bust in and draw attention to himself, allowing her a clean entrance into the building.

Arashi walked forwards towards the edifice and in a flash, due to his new armor that increased his speed, he was right behind one of the patrols with his sword stuck through the mans back.. "Let the fun begin.." Arashi said with a smirk as two patrols pulled out their blasters and opened fire on Arashi..
Arashi kept his speed up and dodged the blasts as he appeared in between the two men swinging his blade in a circular motion de-capitating the other two patrols.. Arashi watched as four more came charging towards him and he extended his blade in their direction.. "Brisingr!" Arashi yelled as the flames spiraled out of his blade and blasted the four men. Instantly they were completley inflamed and they dropped to the floor twitching around.. Arashi laughed as they burned to death and he entered the building..
Arashi kept his blade out to be prepared for anything that was to come inside of the building..
