Hunting for a Hellion

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

Bones emerged from his fighter and Rin not far behind in a fighter they had borrowed for the time being upon Nar Shaddaa. Looking around at the city planet he somehow felt at home. The busy streets and constant commotion never seemed to die down, even the dark side of the planet seemed to be bursting with life, and that's the side they had landed upon. The smell seemed to have a little kick as they walked forward into Nar Shaddaa. The word was that Hellion as a name, was floating around these parts for whatever reason, and that was the last name of Bones' old Jedi Master.

Bones looked over to Rin once they came to a centralized area with many different directions to head. "I guess we'll have to start asking around. I'd say the best place to start would be the cantina. That's usually were information is to be found." Said Bones looking back to the bright signs flashing all different assortments of commercials. "Now the only question is... which one?"

Bones headed forward into the crowd, and was wearing his armor that he had obtained from one of the fleet admiral's of the empire. Some how he was betting she didn't think he'd survive very long to use it, however he had gone through hell and back with it already. Something he had noted quiet peculiarly was he couldn't use the force very well while it was on him. He suspected it had something to do with the lining of the Armor. It was an interesting sight to see someone of his appearance followed by a light brown robed girl, which was the reason why most people stayed away from her.

They entered into a cantina and Bones headed straight towards the bar with Rin not far behind. Bones looked around for a moment before asking anything. "Would you like a drink?" asked Bones not sure if she would drink alcohol. She shook her head and seemed to be cautiously looking around the room, and appeared to be a bit timid at the moment. Bones mentally shrugged before ordering himself something light but with a little kick. 'Must be against the Jedi code or something.'

Everyone seemed to be keeping to themselves Bones observed while drinking a few more shots. It was mostly just a maneuver scan the room without looking like he was. His best shot it seemed was going to be at the Pazaak table. Walking the way to a man who looked pleased with himself winning, and another one going away grumbling something about a mix between a bantha, and a verpine bug. He sat down across from the man and Rin sat down next to him still looking around. She was definitely out of her element, Bones noticed. So did the man.

"She your slave or something?" asked the man almost initially shuffling his cards between his two hands without ever touching the table.

"No, I'm her escort heading towards her future husband. It's an arranged marriage. She hasn't been in a place like this before so I can see why she's nervous." said Bones smirking, and he pulled out his own deck of Pazaak cards and shuffled them as well. "So up for a friendly game? I'll throw in 100 credits for each game."

"How about you double that." countered the man and Bones only smirked, if he lost a lot he could find himself in a hole quiet fast. Bones didn't seem bothered by this and took another step forward, instead of halting or recoiling from the money.

"Fine we'll settle for 500 credits per game." said Bones and this time the man seemed to hesitate for a moment and then only smirked. "Sounds good, hope your good enough for that kind of bet."

'I hope I am too.' thought Bones inwardly as they started playing a game. It went rather well for him the first to rounds however he suddenly found himself going over 20 the next two matches and soon the man had won for a nice 500 credits before asking Bones if he wanted to try and win his money back. Bones knew he had to stomach his looses to open the guy up for information.

"Your pretty good, you must win a lot of matches, but you can't win them all." said Bones shuffling once again, he had a sneaking suspicion that this guy was one of the cheaters in Pazaak since it was one of the easiest games to cheat. Five games down the road Bones was still barely loosing it seemed, and it only confirmed his suspicion. This is when he finally started conversating with the man, about the information he wanted.

"So you hear anything about someone named Hellion as of late?" asked Bones off handily. "I hear there's been a bit of a ruckus here lately."

"Hellion? Oh yeah, the hutt's are fired up about him for some reason or another. Offered a nice reward to anyone who finds him, but he's a damn Jedi. They are slippery bastards, I can tell you." said the man before shuffling once more. "Looks like your broke, how about one more game. You win, and you get all your credits back. If not I'm sure you can compensate somehow...."

Bones felt the guy was thinking something slimy and he wasn't' going to take the bet, he knew when to stop especially when there was no way in hell someone would make that bet without a sure way to win. Surprisingly however Rin spoke up this time.

"I'll bet 50,000 credits on the match that Jik here wins." said Rin confidently and the man looked over to her curiously. He seemed to study her for a moment as did Bones. 'What is she thinking? She doesn't really have that kind of money. We already have the information we need, though it came at a hefty price. Money means nothing.'

"I hope you have a way to pay Missy. People around here don't take kindly to empty bets." said the man waiting for her reply. "I don't make empty bets." came her curt reply. Bones wondered were she had gotten her sudden backbone from. The man grinned and turned back to Bones shuffling his cards.

"Well you heard her. Don't fail the to be wife. I'm sure her husband wouldn't want her loosing her dowry over this." said the man smirking as he set his cards down and waited for Bones to do the same.

'He's cheating, don't fold. Trust me.' came Rin's voice in his head. She had reached into his conscious thought he assumed which she had never done before so he found it a bit disorienting to hear a female's voice in his head. Bones took a breath in before setting his own cards down. 'I hope you know what your doing Rin....'

Drawing his four cards into his pool he looked at them. They were a mixed assortment of numbers which was good. +1, +3, +5, and a -5. He couldn't get a much better hand then that with his current deck, however it wasn't what you drew that mattered. It was all in how the cards fell. The first two matches proceeded the same. Bones easily won with only using his +1 card to beat the man the first two games while the man had used two already. The next round however he had lost his -5 due to a 10 card value popping up. The man got lucky and flopped down a perfect 20 without having to use any of his cards and it proceeded to the next game. This one he lost by the man playing one of his cards to 20 while he was still at 18 with no card able to help him beat his opponent's score. The match that followed played out similar to the third, ending in Bones using up yet another card of his and the man getting 20 in four yellow cards without playing from his hand. The next round Bones used his last card to get a 19 and then stood hoping the man would either play his last card and he'd redeem himself the next round with luck, however the man pulled another 20 and almost seemed to be falling over himself at his own luck.

"Seems the gods of fate and luck are watching this game!" uttered the man and somehow Bones had the feeling that wasn't the first time he had said something like this. He needed to find how the man was cheating and fast before the game ended. It was already at sudden death. Rin seemed to be relaxed for the most part enjoying the game as if he was practically winning. Bones threw that out of his head for now, whatever she was thinking he couldn't rely on, for maybe she didn't have anything planned.

The first cards came down his was a 1 and his opponents was a 10. Both of them held one card in their hand and Bones was happy to see that it would probably be the man that busted before him and he would win. The next cards came down totaling Bones to 9 and his opponent got a five and played down his card. Much to Bones despair it was another five totaling his opponents value up to 20, he would have to match that score and move on again if he was to get out of this. A 10 came down on his turn making 19. His chances were now less then 10% of winning for he needed a 1 of all things. His only card left was a +3 which wasn't helping. As he saw Bones hesitating the man smiled.

"You don't have a 1 do you.... well good luck. Who knows fate may smile at on you." said the man as he waited penitently for Bones to play down his next card. Bones did and it was a 10 totaling his value up to 29 and busting him. The man however jumped up from his seat clearly surprised.

"Impossible!" the man shouted as he stared at the yellow 10 card, picking it up and staring all about the card as if there was some hidden value changer. He grumbled and started to shuffle again for the next game. "Alright hurry up, i want to see how this game ends." said the man. Bones looked to Rin who just gave him a shrug. 'Is this guy blind?' Bones asked himself shuffling his own yet again.

The cards came down similarly again him getting a 10 and then a 5, totaling 15 for him. Bones had gotten a 7 and a 6 making 13. He was in better shape however the man played his next card and Bones' heart sank as a 5 came up. The man got up surprised a second time. "Impossible... I lost. A six?" yelled the man. Bones looked over to Rin yet again who this time held a wry smile. The man grumbled for awhile before giving all of Bone's money back plus more.

When they were out of the cantina he looked over to Rin curiously and once he was sure they were out of hearing range of everyone he questioned her. "Did you do that? Or was I seeing things, because I saw a 5 instead of a six." said Bones shaking his head slightly.

"I made him think it was a six. It wasn't that hard. The man was so focused on the money he was getting from me, he wasn't paying attention to the game too much. He had marked his cards so he knew what value was coming up next, and from what i could tell his deck was almost all made out of 5's and 10's, increasing his odds over you quite a bit." explained Rin as they walked through the alleyways of Nar Shaddaa.

"Do me a favor and never do that to me." said Bones trailing off as he looked around, he had to figure out where to head now. It was obvious hutt's where dangerous but he could maybe get a contact with someone close to the hutt's hopefully. Rin laughed for a moment at Bones' comment.

"It only works on someone distracted or weak minded." said Rin reassuring Bones however it didn't.

"My parents were convicts. Somehow I don't think I'm as smart as the average Joe..." said Bones leading the way. He had an Idea. He might be able to attract their attention by claiming he was hellion. Dangerous... but it just might work.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

It wasn't too hard getting into a few bar fights the trick was craftily mentioning that he was Drake Hellion. 'Drake' had already managed to come club hopping to over five different clubs by now, and the final one he had just come in confident like he owned the place.

"Who here hasn't heard of Drake hellion? If so get the hell out!" said Bones as he walked through the entrance. That got him quite a few looks. He could tell most of them unpleasant. A few came after him right away, whether they were just annoyed with him or knew Drake hellion some how Bones didn't know but he flipped them as they came at him with stunner weapons. Closing his eyes for a moment he managed to force push them along the floor into a wall. Not quite as effective as he had hopped. His disguise relied on him trying to learn how to use the Force on the fly. He had borrowed Rin's lightsaber and bought a robe. For obvious reasons, he kept his hood up, to not reveal his Zalbrak heritage. Drake was a human Jedi Knight after all.

A few drew blasters and Bones activated his lightsaber for the first time in all of the bars, Ironically this was the only club that hadn't told him to leave his troubles at the door. He could see why now. The lightsaber was light and as the blade shot up he deflected one bolt while taking cover behind a table flipping it over. Blaster fire slammed into the metal surface. Next thing he knew the table atomized behind him leaving his position exposed for a moment.

'Damnit, they are backing Disruptors. Illegal on most planets the bastards...' thought Bones as he twirled on his feet still crouched and focused on the guns pointed at him making them move ever so slightly away form him so the blaster fire didn't come directly at him as he charged slashing off arms to disarm them all. Once he finished them he looked up to the bar tender who was cleaning a glass still. The tender looked at him calmly before asking if he wanted a drink. Like this sort of thing happened all the time.

"Sure thing. The best this house has got." said Bones as he sat down the other people cautiously looking at him and others ignoring him and getting back to their own business. The music started up in the place once again. The bar tender mixed a blue and green mixture that came together forming a red liquid in a shot glass. Purple moisture floated up from the shot glass. Bones didn't hesitate and downed the liquid in one go. It hit him like a ton of bricks a second later after it went down. The taste had been good and sweet however the kick had his head spinning.

"Don't see many people who can take a shot like that and still be standing. Let alone a human." said the Rodian tender and looked behind Bones. Bones followed his gaze and saw three heavily armored guys standing behind him looking gruff.

"Don't tell me the circus is in town! Why didn't anyone tell me?" said Bones, not sure if he was faking drunkenness anymore or if that last one had thrown him over the top. By far he had drank enough to put most people down but his system was quiet adept at not letting too much effect his body. The one in the middle which was a tall dark Wookiee spit out a rather large piece of straw before reaching for his bowcaster. "Well Yippee-kai-a."

Bones turned back around as if he were ignore them and to the Rodian bar tender. "You might wanna get down for this one..." said Bones as he felt arms grab him from behind. Bones used the table top of the bar to push off of and slammed backwards into which ever one was behind him and activated Rin's Green lightsaber once again slashing out to the side as he came down onto his back rolling up. The pain from falling was dull and he barely felt it as the sensation of burning fur came to his nostrils. It took him a moment to register the scene as the male Twi'lek got back onto his feet and the wookiee was holding his arm.

"Hell, I don't know who would love the smell of burnt wookiee in the morning." said Bones dodging side ways as the third and unharmed bounty hunter shot two darts from his wrist at Bones. It was more difficult for Bones to hold back his abilities, he couldn't let it be known of his unbelievable healing ability or his ability to form Phrik bones. There was much riding on the fact he keep a somewhat convincing impersonation of a Jedi Knight who liked to drink. Rin had told him that much, and thus far he was starting to think that he was getting the attention of the people of Nar Shaddaa. Bones twirled his lightsaber to the side as the third and none effected of the bounty hunter's raised his weapon firing a stun bolt at Bones. He went to block and even as he did Rin above wanted to shout out that you couldn't block stun bolts with a lightsaber because most of them were too big.

The bolt hit Bones square in the chest and he fell over the lightsaber flying from his hand and deactivating as it slide across the floor. In truth, the stun bolt had done little more then numb him. He could still find the strength to move however he pretended the bolt had worked in hopes that they would take him to the source of the bounty. The bounty hunter's came up to Bone's body and lifted him up taking him away. His limp body was thrown over the wounded wookiee's shoulder.

Rin came out of the vents outside seeing them taking Bones away and she went into the cantina to grab her lightsaber before someone picked it up and then exited the cantina looking around. She would have to follow them, she owed him at least that much for returning her to normal. Using the force she tried to follow Jik's life force, however she found it a lot easier since he wasn't wearing his peculiar armor any more. It wasn't long before they stopped moving and Rin came around a corner just in time to see them enter a palace looking building....

Slam, Bones hit the ground hard as the wookiee dropped him from almost seven feet. Unable to react fast enough he slammed into the ground without being able to put up any resistance to the gravity. He resisted the urge to groan out at the slight pain and instead slowly began to push himself up right as a something in a deep voice sounded but he couldn't understand a word of it, save for two. Drake Hellion.

Bones smirked coming up and flipping his hood off so he could see and there was a roar from the Hutt before him obviously recognizing that he was in fact not Drake hellion. He spouted something rather rapidly to an interrupter near him.

"He wishes to know why you call yourself Drake Hellion and if you have a death wish. For he will grant you a swift death if he does not like your answers." said the interrupter. Glancing around for a moment Bones saw the bounty hunters were just as surprised, and still standing behind him. Cuff's had been put on his hands but he knew he could easily escape those if he had too. Right now he was more worried about getting information.

"Tell him that I want to know what he and the Hutt's have against Drake Hellion. Tell him if he doesn't tell me I'll gut his slimy hide and use it for my nanny's house insulation." said Bones. It was clear the Hutt had no idea what he had said, and the interrupter was hesitant translating it. Bones wasn't even sure if he had said the whole thing for the Hutt only laughed at him for a moment before speaking once again....



OOC to be edited later...

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

The man repeated the Hutt's words back almost a full five seconds later. "My master says that you should watch who you threaten, and he is curious as to whether you know Drake Hellion and what your relationship is too him."

"Yeah, Well I can't really say I know him too well but I'm an old acquaintance of his. You still haven't told me this bounty on Drake's head." said Bones calmly working his Radial bones to take a position just beneath the skin bulging behind his back. The man continued his translation and the Hutt looked to Bones with a look of contempt and from what Bones could guess he had just agitated or interested the Hutt for his talk seemed to have a bit more feeling behind it.

"My Lord says, that he failed to deliver a package that was worth quite a large sum. The Hutt who lost the money informed his extended family and crime syndicates putting up a bounty for Hellion. Many of the Hutt's have been angered about the delay in their purchasing of slaves...." said the man who then received more to tell Bones a few seconds later.

"He is curious as to what business you have with him..."

Bones held the best smirk he could while lying through his teeth. "The man owes me ten thousand credits and I intend to collect." said Bones confidently waiting for the translation to go through. The Hutt gave another deep laugh before muttering faster then the translator seemed to be able to comprehend. Regardless, Bones hardly needed a translation for the Hutt grabbed a nearby data pad and showed the picture to Bones. It was of him.... and Drake Hellion together.

"Frack...." cursed Bones as the Hutt ordered his men to point all weapons at Bones. Suddenly sparks flew from above as a brown robed figure came down and pointed the end of a green lightsaber at the Hutt's throat.

"Tell the overgrown slug, that if he wants to shave off a few extra pounds I'll be willing to do it for him. No surgery required. If not I suggest you let us go." said Rin to the interpreter. The man started to translate and no body moved, until Bones saw movement out of the corner of his eye.

"Watch out!" yelled Bones and Rin turned to the side just in time to have a set of stun bolts hit her, dropping her in a matter of moments. Bones' Radial bones stabbed out of his skin straight into the cuff's shredding through the metal like paper. This surprised everyone as he came forward smashing into the Hutt with enough force to knock him off his pedestal and off onto the floor. On the run he picked up Rin disappearing behind cover and then reappeared at the other side without her. His radial bones now forming out like two swords as he ran forward impaling one of the bounty hunters. Blasters shot out hitting Bones' skin but he just continued to shred that bounty hunter until he dropped and he turned for the others in a fit of rage.

The Hutt had regained his balance and a large weapon was in his hands, which fired a huge projectile into Bones chest which normally would have crushed bone, however he instead slide backwards towards the wall hitting into it. As the orb hit the ground he noticed it was a frag grenade, and it blew up blasting him out of the wall and falling over a thousand feet onto a landing pad with a loud slam....

The two bounty hunters that were left looked down at Bones' body. It lay unmoving, and then they returned to look at Rin's body which was immobilized. "She's a pretty one for a Jedi. Even so it's a pity she had to come at a bad time." said one of the bounty hunters and his friend wookiee to the side of him roared.

"Your right, a live Jedi would fetch quiet a price on the market. Especially one as pretty as her." said the Bounty hunter. The Hutt spoke now however. "No, she's mine. She threatened me and now she's going to be my slave. She'll make a fine replacement...."

---

Bones felt pain surging through all his body. Looking at himself there was no way you could tell anything was wrong, but that didn't stop his nerve endings from sending the signals of pain. He moved for a moment and looked around. His body was in a white room covered by a white sheet. He looked off to the side to see lots of bloodied tools. He was stripped of his armor which laid off to the side. Just a few moments someone walked in and nearly dropped a datapad onto the floor.

"Your.... your...."

"Alive? Yeah, I get that a lot." said Bones getting up and walking over to his armor. "I don't suppose I have to fill out any paper work for coming back to life eh?"

When there was no response he went about putting his armor on and once he finished the man seemed to be clearly in shock still. "Didn't think so." finished Bones as he started to walk out, and into the streets. He replayed the last few things in his head and remembered Rin getting captured. "Those bastards are gonna pay...."

Bones started off in the direction of where he had met the Hutt however the building was completely empty. Looking around there seemed to be no trace that they had been here in the first place save for the hole in the wall. "They must move around to keep their location a constant secret...." said Bones to himself still looking around the buildings. It looked like he would have to start from scratch once again..... This time to find Rin. His slammed his fist into a wall crunching the wall inwards.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

The next few days were lit with violence as Bones traveled the surface of Nar Shaddaa, his plan wasn't subtle any more. He made it clear he was after a member of the Hutts. One of the problems was that he hadn't catch the name of the particular Hutt, which slowed down his search. He broke an entering numerous times and law enforcements and 'crime' enforcement's found a hard time of keeping Bones travel and killings.

After the first day's his instincts had almost become primal, automatic, and second nature. He killed those he needed to kill and spared those not in his way. More then once he had been surrounded a full sector blocked out to stop him, and Bones felt more pain now then he had ever before. His healing factor was being put to the test with numerous blaster bolts hitting him throughout the day, from battle to battle, and his Phrik bones exited and reentering his body. In the end all they had been able to do was slow and hinder Bone's progress of making his way from Hutt estate to Hutt yacht. He had frieghtened more then a few Hutt's already by breaking past their guards and even killing a rancor unleashed against him. That battle had been savage.

The Rancor had smashed Bones around trying to crush his body. Bones' response would be a counter attack of needle pricks to the Rancor before it threw him again. Then the battle would repeat with Bones charging the large beast. Eventually the Rancor tried to eat Bones however that's were the beast was put down as he impaled through the skull of the Rancor and as the beast fell was accidentally swallowed. It seemed as if the epic battle of these two had ended with neither side being the victor however sharp knife like bones cut through the hide of the Rancor and out the side only to proceed to the Hutt's main chambers.

On each occasion he had come across a frightened Hutt what was not who he was looking for. This had caused him to spread rumors about someone looking for a Hutt, and he knew that which ever Hutt had Rin was probably trying to cover his tracks, and well. Bounties were being put out for anyone who could kill him and he couldn't help but think, 'Like Master, Like apprentice I guess.' He was running out of leads and local knowledge of where Hutts were starting to get repetitive for he had already paid most of the Hutts a 'visit'. He sat in a cantina thinking over his options at this point, he was drowning or rather trying to drown out some more painful promises he had made to Rin.

'Nothing is going to happen to you... I won't let anyone hurt you...'

Downing a familiar and bitter taste he turned around to see a familiar wookiee, talking to what looked to be two entertainer's that were on break. Bones kept low and snaked between the tables looking like he was heading for someone at a distant table. As he approached his put his metal boot on the table in front of them, slamming it loud and rocking their drinks over. This caused the entertainers to look at him with distaste and anger however the skimpy Twi'leks didn't hold their pose for long as they saw Bones serious look and his Zalbrak horns.

"Remember me? I don't suppose you grew that bald spot back yet." said Bones as the Wookiee growled flipping the table and the entertainers made a quick getaway from the scene knowing as if from experience when a fight was going to break out. Bones flipped over landing on one foot and kneeling down to one knee.

"You again... I thought we killed you." roared the wookiee reaching back for his back for his bow caster but Bones was quick coming forward with a punch from his metal gauntlets into the chest of the Wookiee. Even with the metal amplifying his punch it didn't seem to bother the fur man very much. It did make him flinch in pain however which was enough for Bones to follow up with an impale from his Ulnar bone, shooting out of his lower palm into the Wookiee's chest. The wookiee roared and back handed Bones backwards. He went flying over some tables and then rolled backwards to stop himself from hitting the floor hard. If this guy knew where Rin was, he was going to force it out of the Wookiee. If not, then he was going to know pain like he had never before experienced.

OOC to be modified once I come back or hopefully once I come back.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

Bow caster bolts rained throughout the Cantina as most of the people had already began to run out the door, there was one game of Pazaak going on that both competitors were so into the game and results that they didn't notice as Bones went running past them, and a set of green bolts when flying past their heads. He found himself behind the bar with glasses and fluids raining down on him.

"How about we talk about this over a beer or two?" asked Bones from over the counter, but fire still forced the glass to break and hot searing shards to rain down on him.

"Suit yourself," said bones grabbing a bottle from beneath the counter he took a long swig before rolling to the side twice and then popped up onto the bar counter and jumped high into the air. A green blast to the chest revealed his black metal sternum as two bones exited his arms as he came slamming against the Wookiee. The wookiee actually staggered this time as warm blood sprouted from the wounds, and the smell of wet hair was starting to get horrible. Bones withdrew before the wookiee tried to back hand him once again. Swerving low and behind the strong and stubborn bounty hunter he decided to go for it's legs, slashing at the tendon's at the back of his legs. Two clean slices brought even the wookiee bounty hunter to his knees.

"Where is she!" roared Bones to match the bounty hunter's roar of pain. He soon got the point when the end of a sharp black object was held at his throat. It was now that a black robed man had entered the Cantina to see it in shambles.

"Boy somebody knows how to throw a party." said the man looking around. A wookiee growling something drew his attention to Bones and the current situation going on. He grew intrigued and started to head over to them.

"I do not know, the Gend hasn't contacted me for a job in awhile. He's using her as a slave, though she seemed quiet resistant last time I saw." said the Wookiee.

"Don't play games with me, you know where he is. The Hutt's name is not enough to save your skin." said Bones as he pressed a little harder against the fur surrounding the wookiee's neck.

"I do not know where he is now, he changed hideouts every week. The Hutt's paranoid and with someone out there looking for hutt's I'm sure he's no less paranoid." said the Wookiee. Bones seemed to be deciphering whether or not to trust his word.

"He tells the truth, I can feel it in his voice." said the robed man as he looked over at Bones. "Sound's like you have a nasty case of kidnapping going on here."

"Who invited you to this conversation?" asked Bones as he turned, and he almost immediately spotted the lightsaber. "A sith? Didn't think the Empire would send someone so soon."

The robe man looked confused for a second and then lowered his hood, he had short white hair and a white iris. "Your mistaken, I am not from the Empire, nor am I what you would call a Sith." said the man calmly.

"Yeah why should I trust you? You certainly don't look like any Jedi I've ever met." said Bones letting go of the wookiee and retracting his blades painfully back into his body. Then he gave a straight punch to the wookiee knocking the poor bastard out.

"There's more then one way to find a person. Who is this girl your looking for?" asked the man, as he looked at the unconscious wookiee and then the man's odd set of skills. It appeared he had definitely noticed the fast healing, Bones was gifted with. Stretching his arm to loosen it up a bit he looked to the robed man.

"Her names Rin. She was a Jedi apprentice." said Bones as he turned and started to walk towards the exit. There was a brief look of shock or realization on the mans face as he walked by. He couldn't tell which it was but something told me the man was more then what he let onto be. "Well if your going to help come on, just don't get in my way. What's your name anyways?"

As the robed figure caught up to Bones as they exited the door leaving the bar a complete mess. "The names Revan." said the robed man as sirens started to sound and it seemed authorities where heading this way.

"Well Revan, it seems like we're going to have company.... guess it's time to run." said Bones getting ready to start sprinting however Revan's hand came up to block him. "If we don't run they are going to start shooting, I know I can take some blaster shots but you don't seem to be the regenerating type so I suggest we get moving."

"Just wait," said Revan as he closed his eyes focusing. As the Task force and police starts to show up Bones drew his natural weapons but surprisingly they ran past them as Revan just stood there.

"What the hell? They go blind all of a sudden?" asked Bones and he looked to Revan. "Not that average force user are you?"

"Not quite..... lets move, stay close to me and we'll make it just fine. You have a place we can hide? That way I can search for her with the force." said Revan.

"I don't know about searching for her through the force, but I do have a place we can crash..." said Bones smirking.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

Bones was getting impatient yet again, as Revan was just sitting there meditating. He had been pacing for the last fifteen minutes. The past three days he had wound up in a morgue, and then caused havoc going to every single Hutt's yacht and palace there was and still he hadn't found Rin, and the bastard that had launched a grenade straight into his chest and blasted him out the window to a drop of more then twenty stories. Bones looked back to Revan yet again, but he was still sitting there.

"Have you fallen asleep?" asked Bones finally deciding they couldn't wait much longer in this position. The police and NSTF(Nar Shaddaa Task Force) were still after him during his massive killing spree. The dark robed man named Revan opened his eyes and looked at Bones. "We are getting close."

"How can you be sure? And why is it taking so long?" asked Bones as he crossed his arms before his chest. Revan then stood up from his position and seemingly looked off in on direction.

"There is much life on this planet, and it is frantic and wild. I can feel her, but the lives of thousands of others are blocking me from sensing her directly. She's this way for sure however." said Revan as he pulled up his black hood, hopefully the heat was starting to die down on his friend. They had given the law enforcement or what would pass for that on Nar Shaddaa the slip and they hadn't picked up his trail again yet. He didn't know why he was helping Bones but it was a curious endeavor none the less. This man Bones had some quite unique abilities that sometimes Revan wondered how lethal he would have been if he was trained by Cain. The man himself had shown only a very basic connection to the force, but there was a familiarity with it that seemed to tell him he wasn't bad at it, just out of practice.

Bones came up putting a hand on Revan's shoulder for a moment as he passed and then moved forward. "I guess we should get going then, wouldn't want that Hutt to move his base for the umpteenth time again." said Bones and they broke into a jog, heading up the stairs to a new level on Nar, Revan kept his senses open and within fifteen minutes they came to a large building.

Revan stopped in his tracks touching his head and reaching out to the building. "I can feel her..." said Revan as he continued to focus. Bones turned around surprised they had finally found her. "Can you get a message to her?"

"No, she's recoiling from my presence... and she's drugged..." said Revan, before looking up to Bones who was starting to walk to the building.

"The bastards...." muttered Bones under his breath, he barely noticed the sound of Revan beginning to follow him. "Might I suggest a bit of stealth?" asked Revan as they continued towards the front door.

"Screw hiding, I'm walking through the front door." said Bones, and Revan sighed going for his belt and pulling off a lightsaber hilt. He was going to have to deal with most of them to lessen the blow from Bones, who held no remorse for those who worked for the Hutt, he had already shown his savagery.... Revan just wondered how much heavy a resistance Bones was ready to go up against. While Bones could take a hundred mortal blows and keep walking, Revan himself could not.

As they entered the hutt's entrance they got stares like no tomorrow however as they reached for their weapons Revan was already using the force to disarm them of their weapons throwing them out into the street with a wave of his hand. Bones continued forward towards the stairs obviously not trusting the elevator.

"I suggest you stay out of the way." said Revan as he followed Bones, but the group came to block their way anyways, and Revan frowned. "Can't say I didn't try...."

Bones' killing was getting more efficient as he spun his bones whipping out slashing through most of the merc's that had come to grab him or stop from continuing. The one's that tried to grab or jump at Revan found themselves slammed into the floor and then slide along the ground to the outside as he slammed the entrance door shut. Revan glanced at the unfortunate ones that had gotten in Bones' way. Most of them had deep gashes and were bleeding profusely on the ground. Revan shook his head, Bones was defiantly a well crafted killing machine, and even with his base knowledge of the force he was able to use it to brutal efficiency.

They ran up the stairs, and it seemed that Bones was waiting for him to say when to stop. Revan opened himself to the force searching for the presence again, and about after the twentieth floor he felt the weak presence again. Glancing back he felt they had picked up more then just the average welcoming comity. Bones looked at Revan as he stopped.

"She's on this floor. Go I'll hold them off." said Revan turning and activating his lightsaber just in time to deflect incoming blaster bolts. He put up a deflective barrier in case any of the bolts got past his lightsaber. He began his way down the stairs dropping into the void for only a second to slice through a limb disabling one opponent, and then vanishing once again in rapid succession....

Bones had nodded to Revan and turned to the door in front of him and opened it breaking into a run. He was at a three way hallway, and he heard swiveling of turrets and he ran straight forward seeing two in front of them. He wasn't fast enough to get to them and they began a rapid fire at him as he tried to dodge and weave. The turrets' remained locked on however as he tried to dodge bolts so he gave up and just took them head on, his skin burning with each blast slowly evaporating and healing between blasts. He came up dragging a long sharp radial bone through each of them severing them in half length wise. Bones continued forward as he heard the cries of enemies being dispatched behind him by Revan. He knew that man could handle himself, he seemed to hold the presence about himself that he could take a few henchmen.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

Bones entered the room finally and saw the Hutt calmly relaxing upon and two merc's holding Rin off to the side. A twi'lek slave girl fanned the hutt with a rather large leaf, which Bones just thought the sight was ridiculous. The slug treated like a prince, however he guessed most hutts probably saw themselves as thus. Surprisingly the hutt or the Merc's didn't make a move against Bones as he approached.

"Jik!" Yelled Rin from the side and Bones looked over to Rin nodding his head to say that he was ok. "Be careful."

Bones turned his head back to the hutt and he stopped before him crossing his arms as if in defiance. "I believe you know why I'm here." said Bones harshly as he kept his eyes firmly narrowed upon the Hutt.

"You've come for the girl. How heroic of you..." said the Hutt laughing at the thought of it. "But I have another proposition for you. Work for me, and you'll get both the girl and money beyond any you would get anywhere else."

"And if I refuse?" asked Bones casually as if they were all sitting down having afternoon tea. The hutt laughed once more, before speaking again. "Now that would be unfortunate, while we can't seem to kill you, I know your Jedi friend here can't heal like you can. Should we try and see if she can survive a disruptor bolt?"

Bones went quite as he realized the situation he was in, and the hutt could see that he was thinking it over. Rin off to the side continued to struggle, against the merc's. "Don't do it Jik, Your not a killer." came Rin's voice from the side, and a physical weight seemed to press down onto Jik. The hutt laughed again, but this time at Rin.

"How do you think he found you? He killed all those who were in his way to get to you. I suggest you remain quite while he makes a decision of whether or not you live." said the Hutt calmly and then motioned the Twi'lek slave away with a hand motion. She faded off into the background as if she hadn't existed in the first place. Bones turned to Rin, and his gesture almost seemed to confirm the damnation of what the hutt had said. Rin felt inwardly sick for a moment but he understood Jik's pain, he had lost something dear and it was natural to strike out at innocents. He had not been trained as a jedi since his memories had disappeared. "Jik, It doesn't matter what you've done. There's always a chance to turn back. You've done it once before, and you can do it again...."

Bones looked at Rin and then she noticed he seemed to be waiting for something, as if a que. He was waiting for her to realize he already understood that, and that he was going to make his move. His eyes told her to trust him, and she gave the slightest of nods. Bones' hand shot down to his belt flipping on and flinging the lightsaber at the same time so that it spun out straight towards Rin, who used telekinesis to guide it straight at one of the guards arms which made him jump away, and Rin twisted to the side catching the lightsaber with her hands and cutting the cuffs before force pushing her other capture against a far wall.

The hutt was quick to the draw pulling out a familiar grenade launcher and blasting Bones in the chest as he turned to the hutt. Turrets popped up around the hutt and began to fire at Bones' last location before the grenade went off. A figure badly injured and black phrik bones showing on parts of his body came forward slashing through a wave of Mercenaries that had entered the room from behind him. Revan hadn't been able to stop all of them it seemed and he disabled them tearing through their legs and arms to incapacitate and disable them instead of killing. The turrets focused fire on him, and the pain grew more immense by the second however a figure popped out of the void between Bones and the hutt and began to deflect blaster bolts with a silver lightsaber.

"Revan?" asked Bones as he turned to look after finishing another Merc, and Revan just gave a wry smile. "Didn't think I would let you have all the fun did you?" said Revan as he spun his saber around Soresu style. Bones took the chance now to charge to the hutt who fired another grenade at bones, however the force guided the grenade away. He was unsure of who had done it but it didn't matter. He was upon the hutt within another second, and he slashed through the hutt's weapon cutting it to ribbons and then pulled his arm back, and extending his radial bone out as far as he could without losing the solidness of a strike, and plunged it forward at the hutt, but an arm stopped him.

"Don't... I told you... your not a killer." said Rin, and when bones turned to look at her green eyes something calmed in him. The Hutt fell over and scrambled for an exit, and Bones did not pursue. Letting his arms suck back in the blades of his arms and he hugged Rin. Revan stood there and deactivated his lightsaber looking at the two before looking around the room, which he noticed a consul was blinking. After a few moments of examination he noticed it was a count down in Huttense. "Uhh... not to break up this moment, but we need to get out of here.... NOW!"

Bones and Rin turned to Revan as he ran straight to them and grabbed both of them closing his eyes. Suddenly the world began to shift around them and turned darker. Everything seemed much more silent upon Nar Shaddaa. "Where are we....?" asked bones however Revan shoved both of them forward towards the door.

"No time to explain, we need to move." said Revan as he pushed them through the door and they began moving on their way out. Soon creatures started to form out of the walls and doorways. "Damn, just our luck."

"What the hell are those things?" asked Bones as they ran past one that reached out for them, before they started down the stairs. "I don't know but they feel..... evil...." said Rin as she was right behind Bones. Revan blasted a large group of them backwards seemingly to pass through the walls they had come through.

"Kuragari.... evil spirits of the void. Don't let any of them possess you. We're almost out of here." said Revan as they came to the doorway. As they ran out the door Revan grabbed both of them once more and then metal began to rain from the sky as they reentered the normal realm. Whatever Revan had done, it had been a weird power Jik had never heard of or seen, but his concern was getting away with their lives. It was only when they had gotten a good distance that he turned back and saw a huge hole where they had been, suggesting that it had been a bomb.

Continuing after Rin and Revan they headed out towards their ships. Rin was a bit hesitant to talk to Revan, and Bones caught onto this. "Is there a reason Rin should be afraid of you.... Revan?" asked Bones as he looked to Revan who seemed to take a moment to think over his answer.

"I used to work for the empire as an assassin. I was trained and cloned from the Sith. I know how to fight and kill very well and I took on the guise of the one I was cloned from many times, going by Nanashi. A few times Lord Nanashi sent me on a mission with Rin.... to kill any remaining jedi." said Revan as he finished up refueling his ship. "I'm sorry, it's just hard to see you and not recoil from my memories." explained Rin however Revan held up a hand to her.

"There's no need to apologize, and there never will be." said Revan as he started to walk off. "You could come with us," said Bones as he turned and watched Revan walking off. "I could.... but I prefer to travel alone. Thanks anyways."

And with that Revan dropped into the void and appeared in his ship waving at them as he began to take off. Bones looked to Rin for a moment, and then smirked. "So where we off to now? I'm afraid we didn't find Drake on Nar shaddaa, but we stirred up some trouble." said Bones. Rin returned a smirk and made a mysterious jedi comment. "Where ever the force takes us."
