Karite woke up with a start as he looked around disoriented for a second he realized he was still in hyperspace. He decided that he would drop out of hyperspace to get a bearing of were he currently was, not that the maps helped out here to much anyways.
Pulling out of hyperspace his sensors kicked on almost immediately about ships off in the distance. It looked like a convoy had stopped and was resting in space for awhile Karite headed for the larger ship and tried to open a commlink with the ships.
"This is Karite, requesting permission to dock and streach my legs." said Karite as slowly made his way forward through space. Two fighters pulled up next to him, their window's where tinted black and he could not see into them. Karite was starting to get a bad feeling as no responce came back. What was peculiar about the fighters was they where swirling the large ship as if vultures and each of them where unmarked, and rusty at that.
"This is a civilian fighter requesting to dock with you. I repeat Civilian fighter." said Karite as the two ships slowly dropped back behind him at a distance still following him. He looked at his radar for a moment and then looked up and pulled up hard as a piece of metal floating in the air almost smashed into his fighter. The metal piece had saved him as laser's whipped past were he had been a moment ago.
"Time to go." said Karite pulling hard to the left and circling around the big ship before shooting off as he tried to put in a hyperspace code, but in the few seconds it took to calculate a larger ship with the symbol of a battle Ax showed up right in front of Karite. Unforunately it was where his ship had been calculating the Hyperspace route and forced it to recalculate to avoid a colision. Swerving with the two fighters still on his tail he fought to keep them at a distance. A shot hit his one of his wings weakening the shield and forcing him to pull up as a third fighter joined in the chase. Finally a ion blast hit his ship leaving it dead in space..... "Crap..."
Karite felt a sudden lurch as he began to be drawn into the second large ship, by a tractor beam. The first ship was now being bored... it seems he had just been in the wrong place at that wrong time....

Attention offensive ship! This is Captain Ash Lightning of the Mandalorian starship, Blade Edge. Release civilian fighter and back away before I open fire.
The Blade Edge floated not far away the engagement zone. A hatch opened up and 10 fighters flew out of the hanger, the deadly attack crafts ready for a fight.
Ash was on the bridge, looking at the readouts. His shields were up, and all turbolasers were charged and ready to attack. Ash attempted to establish communication with the fighter.
Civilian craft, do you read me. This is Captain Ash Lightning. Can you read me? Weapons, if they show to be hostile, fire at will. Same to you, Blade Squadron. Get me a tractor lock on the fighter.
Action broke out on the ship and everyone started for what they were told. The Blade Edge started to the engagement zone. [/sub]

Since the beginning they had been jamming communication signals, and that's why Karite hadn't been able to send any signals out or receive any back. So he did not hear a thing that was sent to him, the tractor beam fully pulled his ship into theirs before the new arrivals had a chance to lock onto his ship. Once he was in he saw fighters to either side of him extending for quite a ways.
Karite was pulled out form his ship and forced down below. An alien tongue was spoken and he didn't know quite what they where saying. They forced him to stand up as one of them motioned for them to come. A quick blow to the back made for a compelling command to march forward and follow him after they cuffed his hand's behind his back. They eventually came to the bridge where a rather ugly beast with four hands was standing before the bridge. He had four vibroaxes at his side and he turned around seeing Karite. Barking orders at his men a screen was pulled up to Ash's ship.
One of the pirates tossed the four armed captain a blaster, and he pointed it at Karite's head. "Stand down or this one dies." said the captain. Karite definately had heard that one....

I will oblige you for now, but let the civilian go, or we could negotiate for them.
Ash made a fist, and nearly punched out the screen he had open. Slowly, he laid his hand at his side, letting it slide over his blaster. His black armor gleaned from day old polish, but it still concealed many a deadly weapons.
You let him go and I wont fire on you, but I would rather not fire on you. Do you wish to negotiate for the civilian? All ships pull back beyond the conflict zone. Well, do you have an answer?
Space warfare was not his strongest point. He perfered to defeat his opponents up close and personal. He hoped the civilian could at least get away and deeper into the ship and buy enough time to get closer to the ship and break in himself.
Blade seven, return to the hanger. I May need your ship. Yes sir!
A X-wing starfighter broke from one of the wings, and came back to the Blade's hanger, [/sub]

"Good your willing to comply. My terms are you come and receive him personally, and we leave with no battle. Understood? If you so as have any escorts or your men come close to us, this one dies." said the four armed captain, and then shut off the screen. Looking at Karite he kicked him down onto the floor. Karite winced at the pain of the kick, and he was dragged away as they dropped back into their native tounge, whatever that was.

Ash pressed a button on the console, shutting it down. He closed his golden eyes, and unclasped his holster from his waist, letting the two blaster pistols fall to the ground. He kept his vibro-swords on his body. He never went anyway without them, and even without his blasters, he was never without some sort of range weapon: a small dart shooter was under his wrist.
He left the bridge, not talking, and walked to the hanger, where the X-wing was. The pilot of the fighter was next to the landing strut, leaning against it, and when he saw Ash, he saluted and left. Ash climbed into the fighter, and took off.
He knew it was a trap, but at least they would let Ash land. If they didn't, or is something happened to him, the Blade and all fighters will go in, all weapons firing away. Right now, Ash crossed the half way mark, and made for the other ships hanger.
((What class is the ship?)) [/sub]

Karite was lead back down to the landing pad next to his ship, and was held at gun point, while the room was surrounded by others. They waited in the hanger for Ash to land, meanwhile the captain contiuned to issue orders and let him know when Ash had landed. Fighters began to retreat back into the main ship as well, while two began to escort Ash's ship. Karite just sat there wondering how he was gonna get out of this mess....

Ash brought the fighter into a smooth landing, and was slow to shut it down, but after it was, he just jumped out, landing without any hampering or strains of a human.
Now, will you let him go?
Ash moved his shoulder very slightly, nearly unseen under his cloak, but if Karite was watching, he would jump away when Ash made his move. The pirates wouldn't make this easy, and Ash wasn't going to go easy. His swords were hidden under the cloak that wrapped around Ash. Slowly, Ash walked to the Pirate Captain and Karite, whom he remembered from the bar fight. Ash's face was hidden under his helmet, but the color and the cloak should be familiar to him. [/sub]

One of the pirates signaled another one to pick up the commlink and talk to the captain. "He's 'ere captain." said the pirate over the comlink to the brigde.
"Good to hear, now lets blow this joint." said the Captain, who signalled the ship to jump into hyperspace, the hyperspace coordinates had already been entered while he was waiting for Ash to fall for the trap, it was too late for his ships to help him now, as the pirate's ship shot away into hyperspace.
Meanwhile back in the hanger the pirates all pointed their guns at Ash. "Now drop your weapons." Karite had been watching the situation the whole time and felt his hope sinking fast. "Great rescue.... did you happen to think this was a trap?!?" said Karite clearly iratated. The two of the men next to Karite still watched him as three men came forward to Ash guns put to stun while the other pirates still too numerous to take even for two people with luck. "Do it, or we open fire, and if that doesn't convince you, this boy you came to save will die too."
"Great.... don't get me killed because of your stupidity you've been showing." said Karite rolling his eyes.

Don't blink.
The attack was fast. In half a second, the two pirates near Karite fell over, dead; one had a dart through his head, the other a sword stuck in his chest.
Ash had his other sword in his hand, the pirates nearest to him dropped to the ground, heads hitting moments later. The guards further away had their guns up and manged to get a shot off, hitting Ash in his left arm. Before the pain could register, Ash beheaded them. The guard furthest away had his gun up, pointed at Ash, and fired, but it just glanced off his shoulder armor. Ash threw his vibro-weapon, it lodging itself in the pirates head.
When are they going to learn to never mess with a mando? Are you ok? You better be otherwise we are in more trouble.
Ash hoped he had the guards in the hanger. It looked like they were dead, but he could be wrong. He walked to the pirate and took his vibro-sword fro his head, and whipped the blood on his clothing, and, finally, grabbed the pirates pistol, testing its weight in his hand.
Ash turned to Face Karite, and started for him.
Ever stole a ship from a bunch of Pirates; two against who knows how many? Piss poor odds for the Pirates. What model of ship would you say this is.
Anyone who could see into Ash's mask would see his grin, but it wasn't over confident. It was the smile of success, pride, and knowing that they wouldn't loose. On the outside, Ash's armor where he was shot was blackened, and it caused him some pain, but he could handle pain. He pressed a button on his wrist, sending out a beacon to the Blade. [/sub]

(OOC: Wow... God modding much there Ash? You took out a rather large group of heavily armed pirates with two swords and a single shot wrist dart launcher before any of them got off a shot?)
CV-1002 Merlin exits hyperspace in the area. They were well within Chiss space and this was the last known location of their lost military transport. The transport had been shipping starfighter parts from one planet to one of their outlying outposts. It had reported an unknown contact and then all communications had been lost.
A pirate attack was suspected but they didn't have any more ships in the area so Jor decided to pick up the slack himself. The small bridge of the Cutter was cramped but not overly so. The helmsman turned in his stiff chair. "Shipmaster, sensors report speedspace radiation along a traceable coarse. No other ships in the area."
Shipmaster Keldon turned to Jor, the question on his face plane to see. Jor looked at the holographic readouts of the bridged holoprojector and then turned back to the shipmaster. "Follow it."
The helmsman didn't wait for the shipmaster and complied with the warmasters orders. The ship traced the Cronau radiation trail and jumped to hyperspace. They'd drop out ever few minutes or so, do a sensor sweep and then go back into hyperspace.

Drake was sleep when they came out of hyper space the stop made him come to. "Here already" he asked as he looked around. Drake kept looking around "So what we're leavin already?" he asked another question as he yawned some. Drake was hoping to hurry and catch the pirates so they could have a good fight. He just decided it would be best to be quiet and wait for them to catch the pirates. He sat there and waited for them to make their next jump.

Rita picked up the portable power pack from its place on the floor and lifted it to her shoulders. the square back pack device slid easily over her very slight figure but she lifted it with ease.
A few quick moments later and she had it plugged into the the Z-6 rotary blaster cannon resting on the floor at her feet. She hefted the large weapon and sat down, letting it rest vertically on her lap, leaned up against her shoulder.
Holding the Z-6 steady with one hand she drew her DL-44 and checked it's charge. It was full and ready to fire. She set it to stun and let it slip into it's holster again. She strapped the pistol in and looked over at Jor. "Don't you think you'd better suit up?" She asked.
Jor looked back at her, then back at the hyperspace tunnel outside the small front viewport. A few seconds later he rubbed the stubble around his chin and turned away and headed to the passenger dorms. "Yeah, i think your right." He said to Rita as he passed by. "Care to help?"
Rita stood up and hefted the heavy Z-6 in front of her as she followed Jor.

Karite looked at him as he walked back, his hands where still cuffed behind his back. "I can't to much cuffed i'll tell you that... but... pirates aren't going to give up that easily... in fact i bet they already know..... signalling your ship wont help... they can't do anything until we drop out of hyperspace, i have a feeling that's not going to be any time soon."

Ash walked behind Karite, and grabbed the cuffs. Moments later, the cuffs fell off.
Then we can force this thing to stop. You prefer vibro-swords or blasters?
Ash pulled his second sword out of the dead pirates chest and spun it in his hand, droplets of blood spraying out. He didn't bother whipping the blood off of this vibro-sword; it would just get bloody again.
Ash picked up the comlink from the pirate, but didn't activate it yet. He would wait until they were at a safer location.
Come on... We should get out of the hanger before they vent us out. [/sub]
