Karite exited hyperspace above the familiar Tishi, everything seemed the same except for the fleet upon the opposite side of the planet.
"I wonder what they are doing here...." said Karite aloud as he headed down to the planet below. As he came closer to his home he saw something was wrong. Houses where blown to pieces and remants of forest fires were still burning. The hanger bay was in ruins forcing Karite to land in the middle of the destoryed village. As he got out he ran towards his house... or what was left of his house. It looked as if a large explosion had crashed straight through the building and out the back. In fact obserbing it from afar he could see that there was over Five fissure's leading outwards form the current location.
"What happened here....? Was there an attack..." Karite asked himself as he slowly moved about looking for clues, and it was at least he came across a served body which had been cut in half not 20 yards off from the village. Holding back the urge to vomit he willed himself to see who it was.
Bending down and throwing back the hood of the figure, he recoiled from the sight. Maggots were beginning to feast on his eyes, while the body held a shocked expression on his face. "Tine.... I didn't know you too well in life did I?" asked Karite as he looked down to his fatal wound which appeared to have been done by energy.
"A lightsaber?" Karite asked himself examining the wound however he soon shook his head. The wounds were similiar yes, but not quite, this hadn't just seared his body in half. It had scortched the bottom half of his body blackening it around the wound as if having been cruely eletrocuted. "Curious...."
Karite forced himself away back into the town, and headed to the hanger bay which was where most of the electronics of the village was held.....

What else was there to do than follow a mysterious man for a shade with no purpose? Chax exited hyperspace as well, using the Force to track where Karite was going. The planet he was orbiting was unknown to him, but it did not dampen his curiosity.
Going down to the planet, Chax saw the ruins as well. "Something obviously happened here," he said to himself, wondering if his target had anything to do with it. But if he truly was, why would he come back he asked himself. He stayed over the planet until Karite had gone far from his ship, landing quite near it in case he got lost on this unknown place.
Chax decided to get a closer look on Karite, so he cloaked himself again with the Force. He could see the corpse of the man, and how Karite had reacted. And so he decided that such a ill-willed person, at least in his opinion, would not cause this destruction. But he still stayed hidden, following him wherever he went..

Karite entered the dark door leading down a single hallway that split off into two more, which lead to a control room, and the other to the inside of the hanger. The Darkness was almost absolute so Karite activated his lightsaber to light the way, he slowly made his way down the hallway and went to the right. The door was jammed from having no power, but otherwise looked unharmed. Somehow Karite guessed the attack and power failure was linked somehow but he couldn't quite place it at the moment.
Cutting the locking mechanism he forced his way through the door pulling it open and as he entered undid the tie around his robes that allowed his wings to spread out and stretch. He tried the computers, but nothing would respond. "I wonder if Luster ever fixed the backup power system..." said Karite heading into another room beyond and the power came on, the light's powering up and the computers flashing.
Coming back into the room he sat down at one of the computers and pulled up the feed, it had been corrupted past a certain point. Understandable, and they currently weren't picking up any signal whichi indicated that they might be damaged. Karite began a replay of the last five minutes of feed. Flashes of light and sounds of destruction played, voices were echoed off in the distance however none of them were clear. Soon a bright flash passed over the screen, and what looked like a stream of light whipped by outside the hanger bay.
"What was that...." said Karite as the screen went fuzzy. He quickly rewound and froze the frame it appeared in. "Lightning?"

"I wonder who Luster is," Chax thought to himself, keeping himself cloaked in the control room. But now he looked at the screen, seeing lightning. He passed it off as average Force Lightning, not assuming anything that unusual. The shade still wondered where they were, and if this was this winged man's home planet. "How curious... you don't stop to amuse me, winged man. I also wonder what I could find here that would really benefit me.."

Kayen's ship lowered through the atmosphere of the planet following the second ship on his sensors. He didn't know what had happened here but he was curious. He landed just out of range of the new arrivals and exited his ship. Switching his helmet over to scan for long range targets, Kayen started to make his way towards the two. He kept his EE-3 Carbine at ready...

Karite replayed it in slow motion a few times, before deciding silently about something. "That definately was a Mitsukai Art.... the Lightning seemed to be linked as if by chaining them together.... Luster had told me of such a move...." said Karite as he stood up from his seat and walked out towards the hangerbay hallway but soon found it collasped. "Damnit, It's collasped inward.... I'll have to go around."
Karite soon headed out of the building looking to go into the Hangerbay. As he came out the enterance he deactivated his lightsaber spread his wings and took off up towards the roof landing nimbly as he walked towards the collasped roof....

"Mitsukai.. is that what he is?" Chax asked himself in his head, watching where his target was going. He decided it would be best to not fly up there, instead phasing through the hanger bay hallway by using the Force. "I suppose Luster must be his teacher..."

Kayen nearly entered the building, switching his helmet display over to infrared as he saw one of the targets fly up to the roof of the building. He knew it wasn't a normal winged species, nothing his helmet display could identify either, so he activated his jetpack in a very quick burst into the air, propelling himself up to a nearby, partially destroyed roof. He locked his helmet display onto the winged figure and then activated magnification to get a better look.

Karite dropped down into the whole. It was dimmly lit as well. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the contrast of light and darkness of the room. He saw most of the ships in the hanger had been destoryed beyond repair, and there wasn't much in here. Slowly heading to the back wall there was a lot of repair tools scattered about.
"Hmm.... doesn't look like anyone got away...." said Karite, his expression turning hard all of a sudden. He stood still for a moment before slamming his hand into the wall which erupted a large CLANG as his Wrath of Ryloth hit the wall, colliding metal against metal. Karite was getting a funny feeling something was stalking him, and he exited the hangerbay via the hole in the roof again and looked around. "Everywhere I go, Disaster follows...." muttered Karite sitting down on a stump nearby.

Chax looked around the hanger, frowning slightly at the destruction. Destruction was never a pretty sight to see, and was especially not entirely suited for this shade. He wondered, however, still why this winged man would come here. Obviously he had not been here, at least during or after the destruction, and had no idea what had happened. But why, he kept on asking, was he here. "I have some sick feeling in me to try to use this guy's dead friend to get him to talk. Probably wouldn't work.. and would probably get him pissed," Chax said, smirking a little as he kept himself hidden.

Kayen saw his target drop through the roof and he quickly boosted himself across the space between the buildings and he quietly landed. Making his way to the hole in the roof, he very carefully looked over the edge, switching his helmet display over to visual so that he could get a normal view of the being he was following. He muttered to himself "I don't know what that thing is but it's not in any database I have access to..." of course, his access had been limited.

During his flight out he had noticed someone on the roof but choise to ignore the man for now as he thought. "You can come down off the roof now. I don't know who you are... but you definately don't belong here." said Karite.

The urge to just figure out why he was here finally toppled over Chax's judgment. He created a clone with the Force, shifting its form to be like the one of his target's dead friend. Being able to speak as him would be hard, but the shade assumed that his target would not particularly remember his voice. Instead of talking instantly, Chax sent his clone to walk out into the light and stare at Karite, allowing him to do the talking first. His clone kept a solemn face, trying to act as simply a ghost.

Kayen swallowed hard when he realized that he had been seen and he started to come from the roof when he saw the other figure. He froze at the edge of the roof and quickly lifted his rifle towards the clone, it had appeared out of nowhere and Kayen knew that was not right.

"Great.... now i'm starting to see hallucinations...." said Karite after he had reacted suddenly pulling out his BTC-30 and pointing it at the clone. He didn't know if it was a spirit or whatever it was, but he knew he wasn't going to interact with it. "Go away, I dont need reminders of my home."
