Ashley woke up and felt the cage shock her again. “I swear if this thing shocks me again…” But the damn cage shocked her again and she felt pain shoot through her. “Damn it,” she said. She pulled out her lightsaber and tried to cut the bar, but it didn’t work. “Damn it,” she said as she put her saber up.

The lightwhip indeed warpped the lightsaber and being that close also ensnared Elifain as well pulling his own lightsaber close to himself. Elifain cut off the arm of the thing but a claw grew in it's place instead as it used the force pulling elifain and spinning him with the momentum getting him over his head in a circle that would make even a blind man puke. The whip slowly melted through his armor however Bones was upon the thing soon, however it deactivated it's whip just at the right moment.
"Oh shi---" said Bones as he opened his arm's wide and braced for impact. His Tibia and fibia shooting out the soles of his feet and scrapping against the surface of the building to slow them however they even with the slowing went flying over the edge. As they began to free fall Bones started to grind his right Ulnar bone against hte building impaling it and slowing his descent as he grabbed Elifain's hand. They luckily stopped about half way down. "Remind me why I saved your Imperial ass?"

Wes felt somewhat out of place on board the Imperial vessel, almost as if his presence was unwelcome in some way. He felt dozens of leery eyes trained on him, watching his every move with intense scrutiny, just waiting for him to slip up. He had to admit, for a security team, they were generally more unnerving than your average run of the mill "rent-a-cop" type. These guys were heavily armed and carried themselves as soldiers. Men of war trained to kill at a moments notice and not bat so much as an eyelash at the notion.
And as awkward and uncomfortable as it was to be observed by dozens of soldiers with a touchy trigger finger, on some level, it made him somewhat glad to be surrounded by hundreds, if not thousands, of these men. Just in case that hell on Corellia managed to somehow make its way up here.
Moving slowly off to the side of the hangar, trying to obscure himself from view, he allowed Ashley to make her way to the bridge of the destroyer. His mission, on the other hand, was focused elsewhere. Somehow he had to find a way to a communications center or gain access to a long range transmitter buoy. How to do it, however, was becoming something of the task to accomplish. It seemed like no matter where he went, an Imperial soldier was around every corner, the hangar floor littered with them as they milled about in anticipation of something, anything that might require their immediate attention and services.
Suddenly, the commotion in the hangar picked up dramatically in tempo as several dozen armed soldiers began rushing in the direction of the lift that would take them to the bridge section of the ship.
"Oh hell...." Wes thought, certain that Ashley had done something completely rash and downright stupid to call the entire ship down on top of her. For the time being, though, he seemed to be forgotten about by the security teams. But his luck seemed to have run its course as a group of soldiers appraoched him from the hangar floor near Ashley's ship.
Eying the approaching troopers, Wes suddenly felt uneasy, but held back the reaction to reach for his pistol. He had no desire to incite an entire Imperial fleet against him, and tried to remain calm as the squad of soldiers neared his position.

Elifain, dizzy beyond recognician, couldn't resist as he flew into bones, and fell. He regained his thoughts though, as they started coming to a stop, and he heard bones ask, "remind me why i saved your imperial ass?" He smirked and said calmly, I have no idea... but its better to be down here than in that things face... He said. _______________________________________ Elifains squad, had moved to the stairs, and one had seen elifain and bones fly off the edge. They turned and sprinted down the stairs, down towards the mid of the buidling, trying to get clear of the creature at the top, while trying to find out where Elifain and bones had gone. They barged through a door, cleared the room, and barred it again, before moving through the room, which had a full wall of glass. Any surviving Bridgeburners, in this sector, This is heavy, come in. A male voice echoed in their radio's. This is talon squad, we are waiting for evac, We are relaying our position over radio. said one of the marines, who had moved to the windows, and looked out. Roger that talon, evac eta 2 minutes and counting. _______________________________________ Security squad claw, moved towards wes with their rifles at the ready. Sorry sir, but we have orders to take you in. Your little friend decided to start a fight. Give up now, or we will use force to take you in... The leader of the squad said, as he moved forward with a set of restraints.

Ashley closed her eyes and tried to concentrate on trying to get out of the cage. She looked around the room. “There’s got to be a way out of this shit hole,” she said.

Wes sighed, his shoulders slumped in submission as the security team moved forward, their rifles trained on him.
"Damn you, Ashley." He cursed beneath his breath as he co-operated with the security detail, placing his hands on the back of his head as the leader moved forward with binders in hand.
His plans were now on hold until he could prove his disassociation with the raging sociopath that was turning out to be Ashley. That girl was truly insane to pull a stunt as dumb as this in the middle of an Imperial fleet that was already on edge with a quarantine regulation. He began to wonder if she ever thought about what she was doing, of if she just acted on whatever random impulse that happened to cross her mind. Maybe she was mentally defective.... It would explain a lot in the long run.
"Boy, when you pick 'em, you pick 'em good, don't ya?" Wes rhetorically asked himself, shifting his jaw slightly in agitation at the thought as the squad leader drew nearer. Hopefully, he could quickly prove his innocents in anything she might have done and get on with what he had come here to do.

The squad leader quickly slapped the cuffs on wes, and moved him quickly to the brig, where they had ashley in a force cage, and put wes in a similar one across the room. They activated the field, as wes stepped in it, and turned to leave the room. They took positions outside, while the security camera's in the ship was set to alert them in case something happened.

Wes complied fully with the Imperial soldiers as they led him to the brig and escorted him inside to a cage on the opposite side of the room facing Ashley. A guard activated the protective filed with a few taps on a keypad outside the cell before turning and exiting the room with his squad.
He glared across the room at Ashley, who was trying to meditate and concentrate on a way out of her own cell. He contemplated whether or not to tell her that it wouldn't work and that it would just be better to sit and wait instead of attempt any form of escape plan. Part of him loathed her and wanted to see her try, just to see what would happen when the entire security detail aboard the ship was called down on her. It would be a most entertaining display, he was sure. One that he would enjoy utterly. He might even be able to smile and allow for a laugh then.
On the other hand, she had managed to get him off of Tatooine as planned with little delay. And to those ends, saving her life might seem like a suitable payment of that debt, considering that he had practically no money with which to broker a deal.
Letting out a small dejected sigh, he finally spoke to her. "That won't work, you know." He paused for a moment, seating himself in the middle of the tiny, cramped jail cell. He had never been in one himself, and now he never wanted to be again. In all of his time in the RAF, he had thrown his fair share of dissidents into cages like this, but had never been subjected to the discomfort for himself.
"They built these cages to dampen Force energy. I should know.... I managed to help put my fair share of Sith and dark acolytes in them when I served with the RAF. No weapon can break them, no Force tricks can fool them. You're sitting in your tomb if you don't straighten up and start acting right." He said, his remarks becoming pointed and acerbic near the end.

Ashley yawned and sat down on the floor and went to sleep. She knew it was useless to try and break out not when she could end up dead.

Wes afforded himself a slight smirk and a low chuckle as Ashley followed his advice and began to doze of in sleep. Or maybe she had just been trying for the past few hours to get out and had only now fatigued herself. Either way, he was inwardly relieved that she didn't try anything. The last thing either of them needed right now was to be charged with a jail break on top of whatever the hell it was she did to get them both put here in the first place.
Still, even though he loathed being in the situation, placed so far away from his priorities against his will, he had to admire Ashley's brash attitude. The kind of prose it must have taken to incite any level of hostility towards an entire Imperial fleet was a task few would even consider. And yet, she did. Just as easily as taking a breath of air. It was astounding and spoke to apart of her character that was fearless and daring, willing to do whatever, wherever, whenever. Its just too bad it was all so unfocused. All of that energy, all of that flare and fire, wasted. She would have made one hell of a soldier in any army.... If you could get her to follow orders, that is.
Wes soon put aside his musings on his cohort, though, and began to focus his mind on the more pressing matters at hand. Why had he been left on Tatooine with barely enough money to get by? It couldn't have been one of his constituents or clients. They would have either killed him, or left him completely penniless. No, whoever did this to him was playing some sort of sadistic game with him. His mind rushed with a list of potential suspects as the time ticked by, analyzing each of them and assessing them, to the best of his recollection, for the potential for this kind of betrayal. What he soon discovered, though, was that they were all capable of betrayal, they were people who were hiring an assassin to kill people for money, moral scruples weren't high on any of their lists. Turning on said assassin wouldn't phase them in the least.
Still, the nagging question remained. Who would turn on him, but not kill him? The question was becoming an annoyance. He stared absently at the floor in front of him, as if he had anything better to do with his time right now, and could only wait, and hope, that the Empire would see fit to release them soon. Only then did he stand a chance of answering the multitude of vexing questions on his mind.

ooc: for this post, zilfer gave me permission to control karite and bones, only to get them on an LAAT I am assuming that Hades is also wanting a lift off the planet, so i am going to post as if he was with the group getting off the planet. bic:The building shuttered, as 4 LAAT's surrounded the building where 50some bridgeburners held their ground, and set out a boarding ramps, that allowed the ship to stay away from the building while taking on troops. The troops filed out, while a handful rigged the floor to explode, throwing all their explosives into the mix. They were the last, followed by karite, to get on an LAAT, which then took off to leave the surface. __________________________________________________ Heavy 23 dropped down close to the building where Talon squad had relayed their position. It closed around the floor they were on, and released its boarding ramp, to one of the windows. Talon 3 quickly blasted out the window, before charging across the ramp, the other 3 behind him. They had set the buildings floor to blow, within 1 minute, and was in a rush to leave. Heavy 23, we can't leave yet. The commander and 1 civie is trapped on the side of the building somewhere... No worries, i have a view of them right now... The pilot cut in, as 30 feet away, Elifain and Bones hanged there watching. We are comin commander He threw in on an open radio sequence. ________________________________________________ Elifain smirked as he saw the LAAT drop in a short distance away, and his men run on board. The dropship then moved forward, and the ramp being under them, bones let them drop, retracting his bones back into his body, before they landed. Elifain looked to bones with a smirk, as they climbed into the LAAT, and said, 1 ticket off this rock, as promised... The LAAT's doors locked and pressurized, as the ship, and its fighter escort flew towards the Nebula class destroyer. Behind them 2 buildings blew sky high, raining debries all around. They landed in the hanger a short time later, and the troops piled out, the wounded being carried by comrads, and everyone finding a space in the hanger to sit down and catch their breath. they had lost comrads, and would not forget that. Elifain milled with his troops for a few moments, sharing comments with some of the men, until a security squad came up to him. Sir. the prisoners are in the brig, awaiting punishment... The leading man said calmly, as Elifain stood, looking around, and noticing Karite. You are welcome to join us, if you would like. He said calmly, before also noticing bones. He nodded to the soldier, Strings, who he had talked to, and said, give him a shuttle, and take him wherever he wants to go. Be sure to meet up with the fleet shortly after. As he finished, Elifain followed The security gaurd to the brig, and walked in, after taking a second to catch his breath, his mandalorian armor, scorched, and dented, had surprisingly held together thus far... So.... you are the trouble maker... Elifain said, as he emerged into the room, a smirk on his face, as he removed his helmet.

Ashley woke up and she noticed a blaster was laying on the ground. She stuck her hand through the electricity and she grabbed the blaster feeling the electricity going through her and she aimed at the power cell that was causing the cage to charge and then the electricity stopped and she and Wes were free. She heaved heavily and healed herself with the Force.
She spotted the camera and she grabbed her saber and cut the camera in half.

ooc: i know this couldn't happen, but what the hell.. i'll play with it... bic:Elifain smirked as ashley managed to reach through the force cage, and blast the computer, turning off the field around her, and watched as she tried to destroy the camera. He quickly threw up a hand, with a saber in it, to block the blow, before looking at ashley in the eye, still blocking the blade. Should have put that cage on a much higher setting... ooh well. no loss... You sure you want to do this dance again? He asked, as he cracked his kneck.

Ashley ducked out of the way as the blast from the blaster deflected off Elifain’s blade. She glared at him as she stood up. Sweat rolled down her face and her body. She reached inside her shirt and activated her lightsaber. “You betcha,” she said as she as she used her telekinesis and then she Force-pushed Elifain into the computer she caused to go up in smoke and she smirked. “Bring on bucket of bolts,” she said as her hazel eyes changed to green.

Ashleys force push made elifain slide back a foot, but he had his footing stuck, and so when he stopped moving, he said, Is that all? He smirked, as he took a step forward, before launching himelf, with his rear foot, towards Ashley, his sword, the A'denla, in a left to right slash. He smirked, and said, If thats it, then this could be over very soon!
