The Phoenix came out of hyperspace as it hit the Heckor's gravity field. Elizabeth and Kitana both looked around. Kitana quickly again sat down behind Elizabeth's chair entering a battle meditation over the entire field of battle. On the three other ships along with Jor and Drake would fill be given confidence and all the other people in the area would become would slowly loss moral.
Meanwhile the Phoenix flew at the Carrack cruiser firing its composite beam at the engines of the ship. Along with the Roger Young and Merlin they were carving out entire sections of the engines. It flew over it quickly and then right after it flew by it slammed the engines as it came in front of them. The force would not be as strong as the remaining momentum. The Merlin and the Roger Young fallow suit, getting in front of the Carrack cruise and using their engine was to drain away the ships momentum to protect the Hector.

The Hector's engines flared to life pushing her forward as quickly as the ship could muster. Suddenly though, her hanger bays opened and explosively decompressed. the over pressurized hanger bay exploded out into space causing the ship to lurch dorsally giving her "upwards" momentum away from the Carrack. With the help of the Cutters Hector missed the Carrak by the order of several dozen meters.
Jor looked down as the hand slammed into the hardened Mandalorian Iron chest piece. He'd gotten the warning from the little force tingle signaling danger to his every muscle a split second before Ash appeared suddenly. It gave him enough time to plant on of his boots back a little to lean into the attack.
He felt the arm striking his armor give way and could see through the sparking electricity arcing all along his armor that the bone in the wrist had snapped from the attack. Jor's arm snapped out with force sensitive accuracy and the mechanical gauntlet wrapped around Ash's broken wrist with several hundred pounds of pressure.
"You don't seem to get it fella. I've been fighting punks like you for 30 years now. I was fighting invading Sith fleets while your mom was perusing bars trying to find your dad. For all your talk your not much more then a kid with some cool toys." Jor said as he squeezed Ash's broken wrist.
"Now i want you to surrender. You can do it the easy way, in which i take your ship because you intruded on a sovereign nation with it but i let you and your men go. Your honor and the honor of your men remains in place and you go home with a few scars to show you learned your lesson about trying to be a badass when you don't know who your dealing with." Jor said angrily, lightning his grip on Ash's wrist a little.
"Or, we can do it my way. I restrain you, probe your mind, and strip all evidence of your personality away until there's nothing left of you but a shell of a man you once were who will do the surrendering for me out of sheer cowardice. You, leave the battlefield a disgrace with lots of mental scaring and you men lose their confidence in you forever, having betrayed their Mandalorian heritage." Jor finished.
"Your choice."

Ash's eyes filled with rage. He felt no pain as electricity arched from his body and into Jor. Even if it didn't have an effect, it was still scary just to look at from afar.
Never talk about my mother like that..
Ash spun, breaking his arm even more, and planted his feet on Jor's helmet and pushed. A blade extended on Ash's left arm and he shoved it in Jor's wrist, hoping to break his grip. Extra lightning was surged through Ash's arm and into that joint.
There is a third option, and that is you and your droid friend leave my ship, and you can hope that we don't meet again!!
Ash shoved with all the strength he had in his arm, hoping that it would be enough to get into that joint and let the electrical discharge would affect Jor directly.

Only 30 seconds were left before the carrack exploded. She was no longer moving due to the damages. [/sub] |

Kitana could sense the impending explosion of the carrack cruiser through the Force. Not leaving her battle meditation Kitana spoke softly to Elizabeth. "Pull up the specs for a Carrack Cruiser. Knock out the reactor." Elizabeth nodded and pulled up a three dimensional model of a Carrack. She quickly rotated through it and found the easiest way to disable a self destruct. She pulled up communications with the Merlin and the Roger Young. "All ships target you composite beams onto this point. We need a ten second burst. The three ships quickly open fired with their three composite beams at the single point. Beams cut down through the ship punching right bythe reactor. The beams cut out just as they hit the ships pressurized fuel tanks. The pressure blew out the tanks, weaken by the heat of the beam lasers, into the vacuum of space. Now when the reactor when critical, all that would happen is a large amount of radiation, nothing that was not already in space. The Cutter class corvettes then broke off from the now dead carrack and headed towards the Blades Edge.

Jor's wrist didn't budge, but his elbo bent. Ash's pressure being applied to force it downward, but Jor wasn't about to let his iron grip go on the slippery character. In fact it was about this time that Jor brought his free left hand up at the elbo and fired the fibercord whip. The white cord lanced around Ash's body wrapping several times around Ash's legs.
He finished it with a left handed punch to the gut.
"I'd rather do this without killing you. I'm just not that kind of guy. But i've been doing this for too long to lose any sleep about sending your cold body back to your home planet for burial." Jor said

Ash Held out his arms, and once the cord was wrapped around him, let them go loose, but the bunch got him more than anything. His back hit the wall, knocking the hind out of him. He could feel that he had ruptured organs. The punch gave Ash an advantage despite everything, as the E-web blaster cannon was next to him. He hefted it up, balanced it on his knee, and fired at Jor's chest.
Ash vision took on a bloody red hue, and narrowed slightly. Still firing, he made a small hole in his abdomen, letting the blood run out. At least he wont die from internal bleeding now. He kept the fire up at Jor. A Mandalorian ran up behind Ash, and also fired his blaster rifle, using his other arm to help hold Ash up.

15 seconds before detonation. Sonic charges, ion bombs, and proton bombs armed... Radiation critical. [/sub] |

Drake was still waiting for Ashely's reply when he noticed something off in the force. More so he felt Kitana's presence and the fact that something was about to happen to the ship. Drake's eyes widen as he quickly grabbed Ashley's hand. "Screw the suit we don't have time..." He told her as he pulled her along. Drake concentrated hoping Kitana could hear him "Kitana its me Drake I know you're out there...I'm about to do something really stupid and I'm gonna need a pick up" he told her as he kept pulling Ashley along to a door on the ship. Drake turned to her "Hang on..." Drake said as he closed his eyes to feel the force he mae a small bubble around he and Ashley, Drake had his eyes closed his concentration completely on what he was doing. Drake reached out and opened the door the vaccum sucking all the air out along with he and Ashley the force bubble was working for now but Drake didn't know how long he could keep it going, he could just hope someone would be able to save them so in one last attemp Drake yelled through the force for someone to come find he and Ashley.

"Sithspit your stubborn." Jor said. He hit the retract button which pulled the whipcord tight, tugging on Ash's legs and ducked at the same time. the E-web blast flew over Jor's right shoulder. He could feel the heat from it through his armor and his visor polarized from the flash.
Jor decided it was time to end it. Ash had apparently made his choice. Jor reached out with the force and touched Ash's mind. He tapped into Kitana's battle meditation and enhanced it in ash, stripping his confidence away from him and filling him with a feeling of dread.
Jor tapped into the helplessness he felt when he'd been broken by the Yuzhaan Vong Yammosk and fed that same feeling into ash's mind.
When the other trooper showed up Jor expanded his field to include him as well.

Meanwhile outside Karite had been skillfully piloting against over 10 fighters alone, and had managed to score two lucky hits on the same type of moddel ships. X-83 ships they had been, and he was now seeing more ships appearing. Suddenly however he saw Drake and Ashley fly out into space with no suits, and he dirrected his fighter over there to pick them up. They would have to grab onto his ship and he would pull them to safty.
"I hope they see me coming..." muttered Karite as he came in to fly by them very closely at slow enough speed to let them latch on, especially if Drake had his standard jedi cable launcher.

Kitana took breath, and spoke without dropping her battle meditation. "We got to go back. A friend jumped out of the ship. Hurry Liz." Kitana stopped talking but Elizabeth could feel where they were. It was fairly close still. She flipped the ship around and when at Flank speed back towards Drake. At the same time she noticed a fighter heading for them. She reason if they grab onto the fighter that he would move to fast. She pulled up a communication channel. "Unknown X-84. I well handle the pickup of the Union members. Break away." As they got close two the two the port airlock open and the ships cut its engines. Then using its thrusters to bleed off speed it aligned its airlock to the two heat sources. The ship floated sideways and just scooped up the two knew passengers out of space.
Once they were onboard Elizabeth fired the main engines again and headed back towards the other two Cutters. The outer airlock door closed quickly and the airlock was pressurizing in a second. Then the inner door open for Drake and the women he was with. Just on the other side was a medic in case they needed medical attention and officer to provide any that they may need. This could be things such as quarters, hot food, clothing or anything else a corvette to the size could offer.

Rita slid to a stop outside the bridge. The bridge blast doors were closed so she didn't waist any time taking out her fusion cutter and got to work cutting the doors open.
She'd had minimal success decrypting the ships wireless network to the point where she could look at some particular programs running, but she still didn't have access. When the backup computer core had booted up she had the chance to see it encrypt itself which game her a lot of clues as to how to decrypt it, but most of her processing power was dedicated to the outside world, running her body and monitoring com traffic.
She'd taken out the power to the reactor but the ship still had battery power running. Other then that, she had a few other things she needed to take care of before the ship could safely be towed to dry dock for repairs.
Outside, the Hector pulled up next to the blades edge and locked onto her with tractor beams. Using her quad laser turrets she targeted the Marauders Turbolaser power grid on her dorsal surface and let loose. The quad lasers struck against the hull and stabbed into the power grid.

Ash had one more trick up his sleeve. He pointed his left arm at Jor and let loose a torrent of fire from his wrist flame thrower. At the same time, he cut the fiber cord with a vibro blade on his right wrist. As soon as his legs wee free, Ash reached into his belt and pulled out a Biotic grenade, and activated its magnetic grapple.
A moment later, Ash let the flame thrower die down, and jumped, sticking the grenade to Jor's helmet. A detonator switch popped out from Ash's left wrist.
First you attack me for no reason, and you have your ships try and destroy my own. I pick a bad day to come here. If you value your life, you will leave my ship and call off the attacks, If I die, so do you. What the hell caused you to come and attack for no reason when I was trying to help out someone who was captured by pirates.
Ash felt the blast hit from the exploding Carrack Cruiser, but it was light. Just the bombs planted in it went off, but it would still cause damage. Ash felt his will being stripped away. He shook his head, and thought about his father, and that was will enough.
I wont let you take my ship, and I would rather destroy it than let you take it. I would die rather than be captured, and If I die, so do you, and I will make sure of that...
This was no empty threat. Ash pulled off his helmet, golden eyes looking at Jor's helmet, ignoring the biotic grenade attacked to his forehead. [/sub] |

Ashley flashed Drake a look of great indignity. “You do know that you could have gotten us killed by doing something like that?” She looked around. “Oh great,” she said as she felt her right leg start to bleed. She used the Force to heal it up, but it was not doing any good. She was tired and needed a little rest. Color drained from her as she used the Force to heal herself. “So I take it you know these people?” she asked as she looked at Drake.

Jor looked at the magnetically clamped device partially held over his visor. He raised an eyebrow inside his helmet. "Crud"
he did a quick scan of the device and started a query in his armors on board computer for a match.
"Your "Help" as you like to call it, got yourself captured, which meant i had to risk my life and the life of my people to finish the job. Your illegally armed civilian ship was trespassing in Chiss space, threatened my ship twice and you subsequently tried appropriate property for yourself that would legally belong to the Chiss Expansionary Fleet." Jor explained.
Jor's hands dropped to his sides. "Now your a Mandalorian, or at least your pretending to be in that armor. Your men are Mandoa as well, so you just think about them for a minute. Your not doing them any service. They fought valiantly here today, they deserve to have their stories brought back to Mandalore to their wives and sons."
Jor's HUD blinked telling him it found a match of the device on his head. he started reading the information on it. "No one said anything about capturing. Your not going to be a prisoner to anyone, but your ship is being appropriated for the crimes you committed while in Chiss Space. You fought, you lost, thats how the Sabacc cards shift sometimes. there is no dishonor in this. I'll drop you off in Republic space and after that... who knows, the cards might play differently next time."
As Jor spoke he reached out across space to Kitana and Drake. "Ok you two, i need some help with this one." He said directly into their minds. Drake was unsure at first but he trusted Jor so he let Jor into his mind. Jor let drakes force power flow through his body and used it to feed his field of negative emotions, eroding away at Ash's decisiveness and confidence subtly and slowly.
_______________________________________________________
(OOC: I'm posting for Drake as well here. hopefully i get his personality down.)
Drake blinked his eyes as Jor and his mind linked. It took him a second to adjust but once he did he noticed Ashely was bleeding again. "Oh crap, hold on a sec let me help with that."
He gripped her leg tightly to help stop the blood flow and he took off her old bandage, replacing it with a strip from his robes. "This is Princess Kitana's ship. She's a friend of Jor, that old guy in the rusty bucket. We're a part of this group called the Union. A bunch of spies really."
Drake picked Ashely up and carried her to the crew quarters. They were cramped but there was an empty cot for her to lay down in. "Ok, just lay here for a while, i'll try and get you some water."

“All right,” Ashley said as she laid her head back against the cot. “Not exactly the most comfort ablest thing there is, but I’m not griping. Any other spy ships I should know about?” Ashley stifled a yawn. “I’m going to take me a nap,” she said. “I can’t keep my eyes opened any longer. Need any help just holler for me.” She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
