"Then why did you come back?" the clone said, looking away from Karite's eyes and down at the floor. It frowned slightly, trying to stay solemn. Chax was quite dumbfounded himself. "Why are you pointing that at me? You can't kill those who are dead..." The shade remained hidden...

Kayen looked around slowly. He didn't believe in ghosts, and his helmet had allowed him to hear the conversation. He realized that the other figure had vanished, or had it? Kayen switched his helmet display back to infrared and saw the figure rematerialize. "Cloaker..." he whispered as he made his way back around the back of the invisible figure. Stepping around the corner of the fallen roof debris, Kayen came out behind Chax and lifted his rifle at his back from about 4m behind him. "Peek-a-boo!"

"I didn't know this place was gone.... " said Karite holding his head for a moment and then pointed his rifle back at the figure. "I may not be able to kill you.... but that doesn't mean I can't try!"
A loud crack erupted as the BTC-30 shot it's slug out at it's unbelievable speed matching that of a Verpine shatter rifle. Karite dropped the gun realizing that he was letting his emotions get the better of him.... "Peace over Anger..... Honor over Hate..... Strenght of Fear...." said Karite like it was a memorized prayer, he could almost hear Luster's voice saying it.
Karite stood up letting the tention of his muscles relax. "Alright, who's tresspassing on my home." said Karite now starting to wonder if these people had anything to do with what happened here.

The clone opened a hole in itself where the shot was. The hole itself was much bigger than needed; predicting such a shot was just a giant guess from where he was aiming. It then said, "I do not know who trespasses either..."
Chax himself did not turn around to see who had popped up behind him. He could tell the person was armed, and was therefore at a temporary disadvantage. So the shade went into the Void by using Konisou, while also leaving a clone to take his place. He would exit farther away, cloaking himself again. Seems curiosity may have led him to a scrap.

Kayen saw the vanishing of the person being replaced by the clone and started to fire but he stopped. Nothing was there. Kayen tapped his helmet thinking it had malfunctioned and then he turned off infrared. He would be able to see the clone now but probably not have enough time to react.

Karite swung his glance over to the figure again, he knew what he was now. A force ghost wouldn't have even tried to dodge, let along open a hole in the middle of himself. "Bah.... Shadow clones... I've just about have enough of these guys...." said Karite turnning his attention back towards the building as he waited for someone to come out of them. "I came to talk with luster if you must know, but he doesn't seem to be here.... or anyone else i knew. So if you will stop hiding with your buddy in there, and tell me why you two are following me, then maybe we can sort this out."

"I suppose you know about these tricks," the clone said, taking back the form of Chax. It scratched its head and smiled a little. "I'm not with this other guy. I'm surprised you assumed so after he pointed a blaster at me."
In the hanger, the clone that took Chax's place quickly kicked backwards at the person behind it, hoping to disorient them for a bit. It also said, "I'm not here for you. I'm here for the winged man. Simply curiosity, but I don't need you to attack me. Do what you wish otherwise, I do not care." Chax himself used the Force to get him to the Karite, presenting himself.
"Who is the Luster?" he asked, starting off. The shade lowered his hood, trying to show at least a sign of friendliness, if that was the right word to call it. "Oh, and I'm here to satisfy a need to deal with curiosity. You don't see winged people every day, now do you? Sarel would have looked great with wings... she deserved them.." He looked down for a moment, but then he caught himself talking out loud about her. "Nevermind that. Just answer the question."

Kayen stumbled back a little bit from the kick, but he kept his balance. After hearing the clone, he hesitated for a moment before he slung his rifle over his shoulder and ignited his jet pack, flying out of the roof. He turned quickly and flew back to his ship.
His curiosity had been quenched and he decided to leave before he got into trouble. Self preservation took priority here. Kayen stepped into his ship quickly and sat in the cockpit, speaking to the red and black astromech that was secured nearby as he started to flip engine ignition switches. "Map this location into our starcharts and encrypt the data... we will be back but I don't want anyone else to know we were here. And then plot a jump for the Union."
The droid tootled as Kayen took off from the surface. Once they were far enough, they made the jump to hyperspace.

OOC well the goodnews for Kayen is I don't have any dislike of him leaving the topic so suddenly and not even allowing us a chance to stop him before hand. Thankfully for him. Karite smirked for a moment. "So it's you. The one who was stalking Ravana." said Karite putting down his weapon for the moment off to his side. It hung there from a sling over his shoulder and then he sighed for a moment. "Luster, is one of the oldest living Mitsukai, his brother was the Intangible known as Jack Makura. I doubt you know any of this, but Jack was one of the most dangerous people in the galaxy. This scene right here, is something he would do.... I fear if Luster is dead as well then I am the last Mitsukai." said Karite as he heard the Kumori mention someone with a lighter tone in his voice. He recognized the tone easily, he had seen it in many people traveling through the galaxy thus far. "She must have been beautiful then.... I've nothing here.... the only thing i have left to ponder is where is my life going...."

"She sure was..." Chax replied softly, smiling slightly and looking around the place. He could imagine a bunch of Mitsukai, as this one called them, living here. It would be something to be seen. "And uh, yes, I'm the one who stalked.. Ravana was it? She took my sword.. very important to me. It belonged to my master, who died recently from old age." The Kumori lowed his head now, thinking of what Karite's purpose would be. He concluded that he had none. "I suppose that makes us one and the same, in a sense. Both of us have no purpose, other than living I guess. Seeing as we aren't exactly on bad terms.. I could help you try to find this Luster." He wondered for a moment why he would do this, but remembered why soon. "Don't take it the wrong way. I'm not exactly a helpful Jedi who comes around helping people expecting nothing in return. Honestly I want to help you because I think your friend.. mentor.. teacher.. Luster.. could teach me more about the Shadow Arts. He seems to know a lot about things." Chax paused now, thinking for a moment. "I'm sure there are more Mitsukai out there. Perhaps they are unimportant, but they're bound to be out there."

"Only if you wish to come along. I would not impose my ill fated path upon anyone." said Karite as he finally clipped his lightsaber back onto his belt and rubbed his chin for a moment seeming to ponder something. "I'm afraid if this happened to the village and Luster was unable to prevent it, he's either in more trouble then this village, or he's dead."
Karite seemed sure of his assumption, as if some sixth sence had told him as much. Karite then turned heading back to his ship climbing into it waiting to see what the other would do. He had no clue where he was going to head after this. One thing was for sure, nothing tied him down to one place anymore.... nothing at all....

"Or He was too far away to do anything, or even know this happened," Chax replied, examining what happened to this place even more. "We could look around more for now. Maybe more clues to what exactly happened. Maybe find something useful." The shade jumped off the roof of the hanger, walking off. He beckoned his supposed winged companion to follow him.

"I've searched the grounds.... there's nothing but destruction..... they left no survivors.... and they were powerful..... as powerful as an Intangible...." said Karite from his ship, as he watched the strange kumori walk around. "The onlything that was left behind was that tape, and it only reveals that whoever did this..... knew Mitsukai arts."
A thought struck Karite, that it could have been Luster.... but it made no sense. He would never do that.... but Luster had fought with a few others that had known such arts... was it possible it was them? Why would Luster's allies betray him though....?

"Do you at least know how many there were?" Chax asked, continuing to look around. He started to try to feel any presence as well in the proximity, but nothing came up. "Well you're certainly right about no survivors, and there aren't any other lingerers here." The Kumori dug through the ruins, trying to find anything of interest. "I hope you don't mind that I'm plundering, if you could call it that, your home city. I'm looking for any hints why this happened." And yet he couldn't find anything. At least not yet. "There isn't anything much I can find. We can move on in search of your friend... wish I met him before. Then I could try to locate him through the Force." Chax paused for a moment, thinking of anything else to say. "Do you know any friends of this.. Luster? That would be a better place to start."

"Just a few of them. Alex Drake, and Zilfer Of Shadows helped him defeat the blade of balance not to long ago." said Karite as he started up his engine to his Twin Tail X wing. "Perhaps we'll start there.... last I knew Zilfer was on Chinine. I don't know where Alex is."
