"Well you are a simple fool aren't you." said Goto to Kyllian. "I do not care if the emperor is defeated as I said before, it does not concern me who wins this war."
Goto then turned to Yuki, his blue outline seeming to ponder for a split second. "This equation is delicate. Cain is something that I cannot remove nor touch, to even attempt would throw it out of proportions. Zilfer however and a few other elements I can control or contain, he can choose to live with this or be eliminated it's simple. Afterwards he is free to go, as long as he promises not to make trouble."
Zilfer heard his friends defending him right away and telling Goto that he was wrong, Cain was the problem. He had somehow earned their trust even though he showed little to no outward signs of caring for them. Yuki to top it all off admitted her love for him, and the room was silent once again. Zilfer smiled but offered no comment to what Yuki had said, as he faced G0T0.
"The past is dead, and does not define me. The weight of my past will not hold me down in the present, and the future only knows what it holds. There is only here and now Goto, and I am going to fix what I started." said Zilfer, knowing his words would only disappoint Goto. A frown appeared upon goto's head before the hologram disappeared, and only Goto's voice sounded.
"How unfortunate that I would have to kill you three.... it cannot be avoided." said Goto's voice as the droids in the hallway they had entered before hand started to activate, their singular red eyes glowing and their weapons no longer turned to stun. The PMD-9000 droid turned to them holding forth it's main weapon, but it was too late, Zilfer's hand flew forward sending the seven foot droid crashing into the wall and began to crush it's metal body until it would no longer function.
"I think we've over stayed our welcome. Come on, we need to move." said Zilfer to Kyllian and Yuki who he knew would follow his lead after what he had just done.

Elifain stood, on the ledge of the building he had chosen as a sightline, and lookedo ut over the city. His transmition to mandalore done, and his declaration made, he replaced his helmet, and looked out over the city, before reaching out to the force. He knew zilfers feel in the force, and would find it, if it was here. Devons little finding helped lower the search radius entirelly, to under the city, and as he reached out, he found a few powerful force users there. he sat down once more, in a meditative stance, and reached out with the force, to the four who had followed him, Roland, Devon, Kailani, and Rusade, and told them his plan to leave the mandalorians, and questioning if they would join him. He got an imidiate answer from roland, a feeling of hatred for a moment, followed by understanding and a quick yes. While he did that, he reached out towards zilfer, and said, Hello brother. I need to talk to you. He left it off at that, before giving a telepathic sight of where he was. As he finished, the Hellbound, and the Mjolnir, dropped out of hyperspace a short ways out of system, and moved towards the planet.

Devon listened as Elifain spoke about him and his brother Roland leaving the Mandalorians. She had no association with the Mandalorians so she thought for a moment. "I'm going with you guys," she said using the Force to Roland and Elifain.

Kyllian, turning around to focus his gaze upon the droids in front of the group, let the force weave its flow through his hands. Reaching out with his mind he sensed for the nearest droids power cell and brought his hands up as if to hold it within his grasp. Then, with a strong release of telekinesis, Kyllian imploded the droid's power cell and then, with his hands still outward, proceeded with the next droid in line while staying close to Zilfer's side since he was the only one capable of holding off or destroying them with only a wave of his index finger.
"I'm supporting you guys. That whole throat grab back on the streets was a little to close for me," Kyllian spoke nervously to Yuki and Zilfer.

"Runt, we're in position. Waiting for pickup." Samson said into his helmet comlink. His team was one of the many public platforms in the city of Nar Shadda, standing in full Katarn commando armor, weapons slung on their backs next to their impressively sized back packs.
"Understood Samson, Prowler reports she's on the way. ETA 18 minutes." The 5th member of the team said. Runt was not with them. He was the teams best sniper, and also, coincidentally, their communications expert. He had taken his backpack mounted hypercom up higher to send a clear signal and now he was set up in an abandoned apartment, viewing the team through his scope. He had his com gear playing in his ear, picking up a broad range of common communicating frequencies. "There's a lot of chatter in this area, most of it's encrypted. No encryption i've run into yet."
Samson put a hand on his helmet, the universal sign to his team mates that he was listening to something in his helmet and not paying attention to the outside world. "Military?"
Runt shook his head, even though he knew none of them could see him from 900 yards away. "Negative. It's really fast. If i had to guess i'd say it was a computer network. Bunch of CPU's talking to one another, even if it wasn't encrypted i wouldn't understand any of it."
Samson nodded. "Understood we'll.... standby Runt." He hand signaled the rest of the team to get down and looked into a distance building. using the magnification on his visor he could clearly make out a group of 4 B2 Battle Droids marching in formation down a corridor lined with windows. "Runt, building 200 yards west, 3 floors down from us, battle droids. could they be making that chatter?"
Runt scoped in on the battle droids. "Standby." He said as he adjusted his equipment to in on that particular frequency and focused he sensor on that spot. "Yep, that's them all right. but if thats them, then they're communicating with at least... i dunno, maybe a hundred other droids in the area."
Samson didn't like it. Things like this usually meant bad things. "Any other red flags?"
Runt nodded again. "Yeah, ATC just opened coms with a known Mandalorian vessel in orbit."
Samson hit his thigh with a fist. "Damn, ok Runt, stay on overwatch. Let Prowler know what the story is when it enters the system."
"Understood, Runt out." the sniper replied.
Samson shut his com off and turned on his team wide channel. "Gray Team, we're on the move. Somethings going down here. average criminals don't have that kind of hardware. Extraction is delayed. Cork, find us a ride. Hefty, go with him. Tank, your with me."

Yuki starting running out of the building with Zilfer, but then Kyllian started fighting.
"Come on, Zilfer said let's escape, not fight to our death. Can't you see, these droids are bigger than the ones before. You can't fight these things they are too powerful, out of all of us Zilfer is the only one capable, so come on before that droid you attacked tries to kill you."
She ran back and grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the door. She let go and continued to follow Zilfer, but in front of the door were two large droids blocking it.
"That's not good..."
Yuki looked over to Zilfer then ignited her lightsaber and ran up to the droid and just as it was about to hit her she jumped up onto his arm and plunged her lightsaber into his main circuitry, which made the droid malfunction and he hit the other droid by accident but then that droid attacked her and she fell off of the droid. She got back up then had to jump out of the way as the non-malfunctioning droid tried to attack her. She then jumped on his arm as she did the others. The droid tried swatting her off but she flew up then landed back down when he moved his hand away from his arm. As she did to the other one she stabbed into the droids main circuitry and jumped off.
Both droids were sparking and hitting each other by accident, she ran towards the door and opened it and motioned for the others to follow.

Not one to busy himself with the details of escape Zilfer was right behind Yuki by the time she had opened the door, and he shot a wave of telekinetic power throughout the hallway pushing all the droids back into the other room so they could make an easier get away. Once the group was through the door however, they would find it was more then just those initial droids they would have to be facing, and with that Zilfer activated one end of his dark core silver lightsaber.
"Well, I suggest we start climbing to the higher levels of the city, we'll be able to find some help or shelter up there..." said Zilfer as he looked back sealing the door shut behind them with a quick jab into the control panel that operated the door. Droids on the outside where headed their way and he knew they wouldn't have time, looking for where they should head next he looked up to the next balcony, he hoped Kyllian had learned well for he was going to have to use force jump, and use it well.
"Up there, we'll try and shake our pursuers before they get on us." said Zilfer gathering the force about himself and then giving a mighty leap to the ledge above, he turned for a moment to see if the others where following. Blaster fire was beginning to erupt now from down below and he deflected a few bolts before disappearing over the edge of the balcony.....
During his escape he had felt someone's present touch his mind and he now reached for that to find out what it was. "Who is this? Nevermind, if you wish to help you'd best head to the lower levels of Nar shaddaa, and if you really do wish to discuss something then it can be done after we escape our pursuers." came Zilfer through the force to Elifain, he didn't have time to stop and sense who it was trying to connect to him.

Elifain smiled as he recieved the message, and stepped up to the balcony, looking out over the city. He stepped forward, the last step, and dropped, like a rock down the building, his eyes closed, until the last moment, when he ignited the jet pack, to cushin his landing. He cut a quick roll forward, at the landing, and stood up in a sprint, heading in the direction he sensed the force users were running. He knew he would be hard pressed to catch 3 fleeing force users, but decided anything chasing them would likely be fair game. He made a long chasm in the road, that broke between the higher levels, and opened up into the lower levels, and kept running, with a hoot, he jumped over the walkways side gaurds, breaking the glass in the way, before gravity cought him, and he fell, a good 30 feet, before the jet packs were of use again. He made a quick shot, like an arrow, towards where he had last sensed Zilfer, while reaching out again. This was just too much fun.

"Bolts! Bolts! Bolts!" Runt shouted into the teamcom.
Samson crouched and the rest of the team did the same behind him. He put a hand to the side of his helmet. "Runt, report."
Runt was scoped in on the balcony, seeing Zilfer deflect a blaster bolt before landing. "At least one force user just made a magic jump onto your guy's building 8 floors down. Looks like he might have friends behind him but them droids sure are shooting a lot."
Samson nodded. "understood Runt, stay on station and keep me updated. Team, rappelling lines, set em up."
The three other heads nodded in unison and their back packs his the floor. They pulled their rappelling lines from the outside pocket, made them up and clipped one end to their armor's harness. Samson kicked out one of the wider apartment windows and leaned his head over to look down. It was a fairly sheer drop but that didn't worry him. what worried him was that they had not practiced with the rappelling lines in a long time. He and signaled them to clip in.
4 commandos each placed a slip against the floor of the old apartment and triggered the linear pneumatic actuator shot the clip into the floor with a 5 inch, barbed spike. They slipped the actuators back into a thigh pocket and approached the window.
Samson looked over the side again, this time focusing on the balcony. "Runt, give me another update? where's your force users?"

Kailani frowned as she felt the echoing voice of Elifain in her mind. He was leaving Mandalore, as was Roland, virtually all of clan Drakain, her clan. In the little time she had grown accustomed to Mandalore, here she was already, offered the chance once more to swing sides, to run her loyalties with those she cared about. That was the honorable thing to do though, wasn't it?
"I'm coming with you." Kailani said outloud in her fluid tone, grumbling for a moment. "And do me a favor, keep your voodoo shit outta my head. I've got a com-link for a reason" The blonde muttered again. Taking off into a run, Kailani Drakain wove through the alleys and streets of Nar Shaddaa.

Yuki ran out the door and saw the droids running at them and stopped mid-run and thought a moment as she looked to Zilfer. She threw a knives at the droids, hoping to strike their m-c. IT stopped the droids for now. Yuki looked up to the balcony above them after Zilfer flew up there and she walked over to Kyllian and hugged him.
"This might be awkward but hold on tight!"
As she held on to him she flew up to the balcony, one big flap of her giant wings got them there but it used more of her strength carrying Kyllian. But she couldn't leave him down there to see if he could jump it while the droids could attack him. Yuki now landed on the ledge of the balcony and set Kyllian down carefully before jumping off the ledge to stand on the balcony itself.

Zilfer nodded to Yuki as she and Kyllian landed. Time to make some chaos for their pursuers. "Guard me for now." said Zilfer as he sat down cross legged and dropped into a trans. The forms of five dopplegangers appeared down below distracting the droids. Each one showed up on their sensors, and they warped around seemingly dropping into the void and exiting to slash at a droid with a steel Katana. To anyone it would be an odd sight to watch, as the phantoms began to tear the droids to pieces, where some fell more sprang up, but Zilfer maintained his focus dispatching one after another. When the battle had died down he sent the phantoms sprinting off in multiple directions down twisting allyways to get the droids off the real trail, and as they would reach a dead end the dopplegangers would disappear leaving the droids confused....
Zilfer now stood up and grinned. "It should be awhile before they find us again, or so I hope." said Zilfer and he began to walk calmly for stairs leading to the upper levels of Nar Shaddaa. "I think someone is coming our way.... and... There's a disturbance in the force...."
He felt something dark coming this way, but no matter how he tried to get ahold of an image he couldn't. A gut feeling told him he might be facing someone very familiar soon....

Elifain flew past a pillar, in time to see a "phantom" fly past him, heading the other way. A number of droids behind it. Dam... I have to use one this soon... He said, pulling an emp grenade, also known as a droid popper, and stuck it to the wall, before cutting engines and goin into free fall, for a moment agian. The droids went to follow, in time for the popper to go off, and fry their cirquits. 2 droids fell lifelessly from the air, past the now ascending elifain, his jet pack active again, as he raced back the way he had been going. He cought sight of white wingsg, and adjusted his course to that direction, approaching in full sight, arms out to the sides, his blaster in his left hand, aiming away from them. YOU ARE A HARD NEEDLE TO FIND! Elifain said, his voice amplified over the loudspeakers, as he landed on the landing that the three stood on, but on the other side. He quietly reached up, removing his helmet from his head. Long time, old friend. He said, with a smile. He finished, imparting a message to Roland informing him he had found Zilfer. _______________________________________ Roland quickly sprinted to catch up to kailani as she sprinted off. STAY IN THE CROWDS! ITS BETTER COVER! he said as he attempted to catch up, and as he did, he said, we want to stay off com now, seeing as we are fugitives.

Post by Cain on Jan 23, 2010 0:41:07 GMT -5
The Jack Makura exited hyperspace on the outskirts of the system. Cain's shuttle would take him from there. A spell cast by Cain concealed his presence and the presence of his shuttle as they settled down on Nar Shaddaa several miles away from where Zilfer and Elifain were. In a darkened chamber deep beneath the smugglers moon Cain settled himself down and began to focus once more. Two of his Elite guards stood on either side of him, each exactly 10 feet away. He moved his hands together, chanting as he did so. This was the ritual required to preform his next spell of Sith Magic.
Slowly the clouds began to form over Nar Shaddaa and the dark side began to grow intense. An incredible feeling of hopelessness and despair washed down over the city. As the dark side's power grew, Cain could feel the intense negative emotions coming from the crush of life that inhabited the city, it was intoxicating. Zilfer and Elifain were not difficult to locate, their presence in the force made them stand out like a beacon in the darkness. Cain began to focus on them and a familiar figure stepped out of the shadows just as Elifain met with Zilfer.
"It has been too long, my old apprentice..." Cain was wearing his typical black hooded robes. He pulled his hood back revealing his face.

"Wait... standby Samson. You got incoming. Speeder on the south side of the building near me. It's an open transport, like a tour bus or something but i doubt it's been doing that job for a long time." Runt reported from his position.
Samson and the team were poised to drop but he'd held them up with a quick hand signal. "Why Runt?"
Runt scoped in on the speeder and saw at least a dozen armed and armored men of various species jump off the side onto parking pad dangling off the side of the building. "Because it's offloading mercenaries. I count 17 humanoids, all different armors, all different armaments. One guy carrying a concussion grenade launcher and another one's holding what looks like a Stoker Concussion rifle. They have absolutely no unit cohesion at all."
Samson winced. it was bad news. Droids were stupid. hand them a situation and they'd deal with it the same way every time. People on the other hand would do unpredictable things. "Understood Runt, take that speeder out."
Runt smiled and double clicked his com. It was an open speeder which made sighting in on it's control console easy. A shot rang out as Runt squeezed the trigger on his DC-17 with sniper attachment. A bolt penetrated the speeders center control console causing it to lose power and start falling. "Speeder taken care of."
Samson sighed inside his helmet. That was one problem out of the way but he was soon to get another.
"Samson, also you should know. My com picked up a broadcast coming from the building that sword wielder left. I couldn't understand it because it was encrypted but it used the same encryption the droids are using to talk with one another, and it was short. I'm betting it was a call to everyone in the area that the Force User they're looking for is right here under their noses. Things may get interesting." Runt said.
Samson frowned. That was worse news then the speeder. He thought quickly. Tactics... right now they were an unknown to both sides so they had surprise. The battle droids seemed to be the bulk of the force for now which gave them an intelligence advantage. Stay on the south side of the building and force the enemy up against the windows where Runt can see them.
"Ok, team, prepare to repel, go slow." Samson said. and with that, he jumped out the window. His line caught and he swung back, landing with his feet against the side of the building. The other 3 followed suit seconds later.
