Zaxx had only one mission, which at the time seemed rather easy. The Umbaran was to dispose of a rival's top gladiator, simple enough really, but was caught with complications since day one. First, he was sold faulty equipment, a score he had just settled, the body of the merchant laying right next to his feet. The next, was him sabotaging the beast cage in the gladiator ring, but as luck would have it, the damned detonator wouldn't work, until he got too close, setting off a large explosion, killing only the beast inside its cage, some foreign beast he couldn't quite remember the name of, only that it's fangs were colossal. Either way, Borga wouldn't be pleased. Hell, he wasn't. He'd tried to make contact with the Hutt, but it was too late -- a bounty had been set. A bounty. On Zaxx, the Bounty Hunter! His face had been plastered throughout every Cantina on Nal Hutta, maybe even the entire Hutt Space, leaving him no option to run away, only hide. Yes, hide until the heat was over. It would be tough, but he'd done it before. And after, he'd have a little chat with the fat slug who'd hired him.
He spun his Zhaboka, which flung the blood of the Dug merchant's off his blade, and he sheathed it to his back. He had been running low on supplies, but took a few items from the merchant, a couple of grenades, and even a blaster pistol, a DX-13 if memory served him right. He wasn't great with blasters, but he was confident enough to take one, it'd serve him well if Bounty Hunters were after him. For now, he'd have to find a way to blend in, an Umbaran on Nal Hutta wasn't a common sight, and with such a bounty on his head he had no time to lose.
He made his way back to his speeder, and quickly made for Bilbousa, it was a major city on the planet, the Capital, but there he could find a place to hide, that is if he kept his head low.
"Borgeye the Hutt..." he thought it had a nice ring to it, oddly close to Borga, the one who placed this bounty. He didn't much like the idea of having to work on a bounty with a Hutt, but either way he was stuck with a Hutt, besides maybe he'd surprise the human. Arkantos had originally taken the bounty for himself, though a Hutt was interested in helping out to carry out the bounty, offering his entire security detail. Though Borgeye himself would probably slow them down, it would surely help to have a Hutt to gain information and even influence others. He was aboard the personal Yatch of Borgeye, as they made their way to Nal Hutta, a planet he hadn't been to in many years, and one very few people in the Galaxy got to see. That being said, Nal Hutta wasn't very spectacular, or beautiful for that matter, but it reflected the Cartel well.
He was in the cockpit of the Yatch which was flying through space from Nar Shaddaa, only a small trip to Nal Hutta. The sounds and clicks of the cockpit calmed him a bit, while the faint noises of the Hutt's entertainment were off in the background. The Hutts never stopped partying it seemed, but Arkantos thought it'd be rude to stay the entire ride in the cockpit, and decided to go over and introduce himself to the Hutt. He had worn his unique armor, and had only brought along his Mandalorian Ripper, which was holstered on his hip, and his vibroblade which was strapped to his thigh. He though he'd need little more, their target: Zaxx, some Umbaran which was good at sneaking around, rather than front-face combat. Arkantos wanted to test his own skills in sneak, hopefully this Zaxx was as good as they say, he'd love to beat him.
He made his way to the center of the Yatch, where Borgeye the Hutt and his dancer were. His detail of Wookiees were impressive. He bowed a bit, not too low as the Hutt was still a Prospect, but Arkantos knew that in the Cartel, the Hutt species had a tendency to rise rather quickly, and he'd plant the seeds of respect rather early. Besides, a handshake with a Hutt was the last thing he wanted to do. "I believe we've met before, but not formally. At Borga's party. I'm Elohim Aeon, a pleasure." he said briefly, looking to his guards. "Quite the warriors you have there, should serve well for intimidation." the Bounty Hunter said. While they were certainly big and strong, they were not agile or quick, but that's why Arkantos was here.
