Double trouble

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

The cutter exited hyperspace above Nar Shaddaa as usual the moon city was busy with ships coming and going. They headed down towards the maze of flying ships and buildings finally coming down in a seemingly abandoned sector towards the surface of Nar shaddaa, somewhere that Zilfer had never been to in all his visits to Nar Shaddaa. Almost no one visited the slums down in the lower parts of the moon, however their apparent destination took them to where the sky was not even visible. The surroundings combined with the tall buildings having overhangs made it seem as if they where just within a large ship.

Zilfer nudged Yuki awake, and motioned for her to follow. The bounty hunters had already suited up yet again and seemed to be ready. They exited the ship and Zilfer took the time to scan the area for anything watching, he didn't pick it up but a black floating orb way off in the distance with a zoom of x30 caught the fact that the ship had landed. The lead Bounty hunter of the group turned to Zilfer for a moment.

"The informant said to come to the ground floor of the moon. He would find us... I don't trust this mission quite well so keep your guard up." said the bounty hunter however Zilfer wondered if he was talking to him or his men, either way Zilfer wasn't going to let his guard down. They started to move through the city, for the most part no one was down this low, those who were scurried off in a hurry.

"Friendly neighborhood," muttered Zilfer as they continued to walk around. Curiously, he felt that the force was very empty here, though the planet was full of billions of sentient beings, almost all of which where above him at the moment.

[Kyllian]

As his ship reached the atmosphere, Kyllian kept his targeting system locked on the fleeting vessel so as not to lose it from sight. The young apprentice then landed the freighter a few kilometers away from Zilfer's and lunged through the doorway, not forgetting to cloak and lock it up while enabling the security system on max.

Kyllian's mind instantly flushed out all noise and lights so that he could focus upon the force once again. Letting his senses wash over the whole landscape, the apprentice picked up Zilfer's strong life force and surged the force within his own limbs. While doing this, Kyllian sprinted along the towering buildings and near darkness, keeping his mind also focused on the obstacles in front of him so as not to stumble or fall.

Finally, as Kyllian flitted to within a couple hundred meters away from Zilfer and the unknown men surrounding him and Yuki, Kyllian inserted a mind trick into each of the white suited men's vision so that the apprentice would not be seen in any case. Also, Kyllian placed an illusion of noise that blocked out all sounds from himself so that they couldn't even hear the whispering of his cloak brush by the wall of a building.

Still, keeping absolute concentration on his illusions, Kyllian spoke out to Zilfer and Yuki, "Don't reveal my position. I am here to back you two up in case things start getting a little hairy......not that you guys need any help."

And at that, Kyllian brought out his lightsaber handle in preparedness for oncoming events.

[Yuki Uramachi]

Yuki looked around. Everyone was quiet and the trip started getting boring. After a while Yuki fell asleep. In her dream she engulfed in darkness, she saw nothing it was as if she had no dream to see, until a voice appeared that she fully fell asleep. The voice was quiet like it was far away or muffled, and she couldn't make out what it said but it sounded like it was calling for her. She followed the sound and saw her dark counterpart, Yukiro, she was hanging on the arm of Nanashi and they looked happy, in a very evil way. They looked at each other passionately and kissed and Yuki felt the kiss as if it was her that was kissing Nanashi. The last time she had been kissed was by Atsuke and again that was Yukiro not her. The couple smiled at her and said something but it was faint and she couldn't make it out, but just as she was about to ask what they said, they disappeared and she was woken from the dream. She looked around and saw Zilfer and he motioned for her to follow him, without giving any thought as to where she was or whether it was a dream or not she followed and stayed right by his side. It was only when she saw the bounty hunters that she remembered where they were and what they were doing.

"How long was I asleep for?"

Said Yuki rubbing her sleepy eyes. As she walked she pondered the meaning of her dream. Does it mean that to get the man she wants she has to become evil? Is that why Yukiro always gets what Yuki wants? While she was pondering this a voice spoke out.

??:"Don't reveal my position. I am here to back you two up in case things start getting a little hairy......not that you guys need any help."

After hearing the voice she recognized it as Kylian's. Yuki nodded softly but did not respond for he wished to go unnoticed.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

Zilfer hear Kyllian and looked up to him. An interesting idea but with him being up there it would be hard pressed to get to them in time and it showed a certain distrust to this bounty hunters who hadn't pulled anything.... yet.

"I don't think you need to worry about the..." started Zilfer but he stopped his sentance short as a stun bolt came out shooting at Kyllian's back from a floating black droid that had made no noise coming up behind him. Zilfer couldn't arrive in time, he knew however his massive force jump allowed him to close the distance rather quickly. The bounty hunters were slightly confused as Zilfer had jumped high, they where headed to where he had gone, all for of them activating a jet pack.

[Kyllian]

With complete silence and utter concentration, Kyllian grasped the stun bolt with his mind and launched it up in an arc towards the bounty hunters, making sure to miss them. Still keeping his movement quiet and appearance unknown to the bounty hunters, Kyllian struck out with his hand towards the black droid behind him, grasped its chest, and with a surge of force energy within him, collapsed the body part in upon itself hoping to stop the activity of the droid but still keep its store of knowledge intact for examination. With a quick snap to the head, Kyllian's hand grasped the memory chip and pocketed it, while avoiding the spray of sparks that seemed to be blazing with anger at the moment.

In order to make it seem as if the droid simply malfunctioned, Kyllian placed an illusion empowering it with the force so that it seemed material. The mind trick communicated to the bounty hunters that one of the fuel cells of the droid was broken after a gear, that was clearly made with no craftsmanship in mind, had snapped loose of its bearings and smashed into the energy source, creating a small implosion which then rocketed out a screw and hit the memory synopsis within the noggin.

And then Kyllian launched himself beside Zilfer, pivoted, and then kept pace with him. Sending a calm message through to his master's brain, Kyllian spoke, How does that work for an apprentice like me? Hope the guy who sent that after me has pleasant dreams for I'd hate to wake up and find myself in the abyss.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

Zilfer was a bit disappointed Kyllian had just outright destoryed the droid, and he deflected the stun bolt with the force, sending it flying into the air above him. Zilfer had it coming straight at him and he used the force to disperse most of the energy before it got to him and with his hand then caught the stun bolt absorbing the energy as he landed next to Kyllian. For some reason he jumped in place to land next to him, and Zilfer didn't question it.

"So much for find out why it was here or where it came from...." said Zilfer observing the droid. The bounty hunters had caught Zilfer's sentances toward Kyllian, and the mysterious droid randomly malfuntioning in the middle of nowhere and Zilfer reacting to it way above now made them more aware, which in turn added to the difficulty of keeping up the mind trick.

The destroyed droid sent a signal back to it's main base now throwing out droids through the city. Sweeper droids, now marking Kyllian as a force user and hostile. The others where labeled as unknown but set to be captured. Three pairs of Manga gaurds, as well as two PDW-9000's where now sent out into the city scouring the area. The sector would soon be abuze with droids because of Kyllians actions but the group didn't know that just yet.

"We should keep moving, not sure where the informant is down in this sector but if he wants to hide he can. Eventually he'll have to show himself." said the bounty hunter cocking his rifle as he landed next to Zilfer and the others did as well. The main leader walked straight through towards the area Kyllian's body was inhibiting and would bump into him if he didn't move.

"I agree." said Zilfer motioning for Yuki who was still below to come on up.

[Yuki Uramachi]

Yuki watched as a floating surveillance, or sweeper droid 'magically' got torn apart and started sparking, but also there was a small red flashing dot, as if it was submitting a signal. Yuki knew that would not be good, she also knew that Kylian had something or even maybe everything to do with the droid 'short circuiting'. Yuki did as Zilfer motioned and followed him up. She took off her robe covering her clothes and her wings. The wings that had been tucked under her kumori robes now spread out and with one great flap she was higher than the building and then she safely landed down next to Zilfer.

"All I have to say is this is not good."

Yuki said looking at the droid. She folded her wings back behind her back but did not put the robe back on.

"Anyways, I agree as well we should get going."

She looked over at Zilfer

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

Zilfer nodded to Yuki and started off. As they started heading throughout the city most of the sights where the rusted bottoms of the skyscrapers of Nar Shaddaa, and heated vents that gave off steam. They walked for about fifteen minutes before encountering anything, and that was two droids side by side walking their way. Zilfer decided to play it off that it wasn't an usual sight and they didn't seem to take noticed of the group except that they where walking towards the group. He prepared himself for combat if the droids dropped into a threatening stance however they passed harmless until they got to Kyllian who could not hide from a droid's sensing eyes as it picked him up by the throat in one swift movement and activated a staff with electricity sparking at the ends of it.

Activating a Lightsaber as the other droid now turned around with it's own staff swinging at Yuki who just happened to be the closest of the group. While this was happening more floating droids began to file in. From all sides and the group would quickly find that it was outnumbered. Zilfer's double bladed lightsaber hissed in response to the staff as he blocked the blow coming at Yuki. "Looks like we got company." said Zilfer to the group as he pushed the droid's staff to the side and twirled around activating the second side of the blade however the droid's staff twisted to meet Zilfer's yet again. "Not bad... but your still just a droid."

With a smirk he used the force to blast the droid back, surprisingly it didn't go flying as far as he would have wanted it, as the droid drug it's feet the whole way slowing itself fairly quickly.

[Kyllian]

"HehehehHAHAHAHA, you pathetic droid."

Still allowing the force to enhance his movement, Kyllian brought his lightsaber, now active, down upon the handle of the droid's staff. Then, lightning fast, dispatched it right on the spot, slicing its whole body in half. At once, Kyllian swiped the robotic hand away from his jugular. "Try repairing that you insolent hunk of scraps."

Kyllian, focusing upon all of the droids now coming out of the sky activated his other lightsaber in his other hand and run up the wall of a building as fast as he could. "This will sure as hell hurt once we're done," Kyllian commented towards Yuki and Zilfer. Abandoning his illusions, The luminos ancient launched himself off the building he was wall climbing and then, slashing through the jet packs on the closest droid, landed upon the still working machinery and then rode it like a skyboard. "SWEEEET!!!" Kyllian exclaimed in adrenaline as he zoomed passed droids galour, with his lightsabers out wide slicing through all metal that unfortunately chanced upon being right in their path.

"HEY, ZILFER! WHY DON'T YOU GUYS GET TO SAFETY! I THINK I CAN HANDLE THESE GUYS! HECK! I'VE LASTED OVER 3 MILLENIA! THEY ARE JUST SCRAPS OF TECH! AND WHILE IM AT IT, TECH ALWAYS MALFUNCTIONS SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!" Kyllian yelled this out over the spectators heads as he zig-zagged back and forth between the buildings slaughtering machinery to bits and pieces. It wasn't long before a small pile was turned into a hill of junk.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

As the lightsaber from Kyllian came down the droid lifted it's staff to catch Kyllian's lightsaber squarely on it. Surprisingly the droid easily stopped the lightsaber blade with it's staff that must have been made out of lightsaber resistant material. With a swift and fluid motion the droids opposite end of the staff came sparking up with electricity to subdue Kyllian's numerous attacks.

Meanwhile the bounty hunters had taken to opening fire. On the floating orb however one went down right a way as a stun blast hit him, and as the others took cover it was impossible to find any spot that wasn't exposed in one way or another. As stun bolts began to fly everywhere, Zilfer realized the potential for his whole party to become incapacitated, he formed protective orbs around them, to deflect fire, however consentrating on so many people would wear away at his ability to combat and focus.... already the droid was spinning in with his staff, and Zilfer matched the staff's spin with his own doublebladed lightsaber and clashed with the droid. His lightsaber gave off a crackling noise.

"Yuki, If you know force lightning or destroy droid, now would be the time to utilize it. If not cover me with whatever for you can." said Zilfer rearing back and this time using a telekinesis to shot the manga gaurd straight into the air. Not quite the usual telekinesis and it threw the droid off long enough allowing Zilfer to move in closer back with his party.

[Kyllian]

Kyllian at once, connected his lightsaber with the electricly brightened end of the droid's staff and then used force absorption upon the energy. A surge of the stuff ran through his system and the jedi master then, encompassing a force orb around the droid, began to force crush the machinery.

[Yuki Uramachi]

Yuki followed alongside Zilfer and hoped she was wrong and that there would be nothing bad happening other than the expected of a possible fight with bounty hunters or the guy who put the bounty on Zilfer's head. Yuki put her hand on the hilt of one of her lightsabers when she saw the droids walking towards them. It seemed they were not going to attack them but then they saw Kylian in his invisible illusion and one of them grabbed him by the throat while the other attacked Yuki with a staff. Yuki ducked as the staff came at her but it would still have hit her if not for Zilfer cutting it to the side. She got out her purple lightsaber and it whirred as she turned it on. They started getting attacked by sweeper droids shooting stun bolts at them and Zilfer put up protective orbs around her, the bounty hunters and himself. Yuki saw that it was taking alot out of Zilfer to hold up these orbs while the stun bolts were flying and a droid is attacking him. It pained her to see him like this. Sadly, Yuki did not know force lightning, nor destroy droid. Yuki, however put her hands to the ground and the ground started break around the droid and then plants started come up from under the ground and wrap around the droid and earth, rock silt clay and sand wrapped around Yuki's wrists and hardened into diamond. From her diamond gauntlet she sent diamond saws at the droid attacking Zilfer as well as the sweeper droids. After this from the cracked ground sand came out of it and formed a barrier around them.

"Hopefully that while hold the stun bolts off while you rest some, Zilfer."

Yuki smiled at him.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

A magnificent display of advanced Mitsukai Arts display unfolded as the droids began to become entangled with plants that were almost non existent on the fully city planet. Soon after small discs of compact soil, smashed down so much with telekinetic power that it formed diamonds with a razor sharp edge spun out at the droids. Most struggling to get out of their containing hold from the plants. The some of the floating orbs managed to dodge the plants and buzzed around dodging the Diamond saws, however the droid that was fighting Zilfer took it straight to the head and it's metal head dropped to the floor at it's feet.

The one choking Kyllian became entangled and a diamond saw came spinning by, the Droid managed to wiggle enough to dodge however Kyllian's crush began to destroy the droid as it slowly bent inward it gave an awkward slash before the metal material failed and started to cave in. The bounty hunters picked off most of the floating orbs before a wall of sand came up all around them like a shield. While Zilfer appreciated the concern from Yuki, he felt it was unnecessary. As Zilfer eased up on his stance looking at her he was about to say something when an electric staff pierced through the barrier and the machine Yuki's blade had beheaded walked through.

"Persistent bastard...." Muttered Zilfer as his own electric current flowed from his body and exited straight towards the door blasting it in the chest until at last it fell limp on the ground. Seeing the sand was most likely held up by telekinesis he decided to bring it down with telekinesis and as the sand poured down to the sides around them and into the crack of earth Yuki had created the group would notice one droid still standing, this one however was seven feet tall and looked imposing. It's red display visor seemed to glow in their current light.

"Goto, is disappointed in the mess you've made but still wishes to see you all. If you refuse, my programing will force me to terminate you all. Save for Zilfer of course." said the droid and Zilfer looked at the others for a second and then shrugged, they had already proved they could handle a mob of droids, he doubted this Goto would try anything else with such a display of power like that. Deactivating his double bladed lightsaber and strapping it back to his hilt in two separate pieces with a twisting motion, he looked at the others and nodded.

"Alright, then show us the way."

[Kyllian]

Shards of crystal and earth flew every which way as the droid that was holding onto Kyllian's throat was crushed into a 3'/3'/3' ft. cube. Standing there, exasperated, Kyllian looked over at Yuki and said, "You are one powerful little lady. Where did you learn that trick?" As Kyllian looked back upon the seen before him, the only thought that ran through his head was HOLY SHIT as every droid that had come within the devastation's vicinity was literally smashed, crushed, or anything else that can describe how to mutilate a droid.

Looking back at Yuki in amazement, Kyllian spoke, "Also, would you be willing to teach me that trick? I like smashing droids when they are annoying and get in the way of saving the universe."

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

"They hardly are getting in the way of saving the universe.... we aren't saving it." said Zilfer bluntly to Kyllian and then he shook his head when Kyllian asked to be taught the moves of a Mitsukai elder. "Trust me those techniques are far beyond your ability, and they require a mind set that you do not want. If you want power join the sith, I'm sure they'll teach you such flashy moves."

Zilfer started forward following the droid, who started showing them the way and the bounty hunters picked up their unconscious comrade and continued on their way however the two were on guard protecting what they thought was their bounty. "Come on, before this guy gets impatient and sends more drones after us."
