High Atop

[Captain Kara]

Everything always started with some kind of movement, whether it be a hyperdrive or a hero's journey but for the most part Emi was stationary. Her legs dangled of the side of building, her eyes glazed over as she watched the twin sun's light seep through the clouds. She moved her hand to push some hair that fallen in her eyes.

What should I do? I am not stuck here that's for sure but I not going anywhere.

Emi stood at that moment and jumped down off the short building, landing quietly on the ground, sand and dust fell from the air around her as she braced her fall. She stood and took a look of her surroundings slipping quietly through a nearby door, she walked through a deserted kitchen. She quietly pushed open swinging door. Her eyes scanning the darkened insides. She ducked her head back in the kitchen and made her way to a refrigeration unit and pulled a round purple fruit from the shelf. She wrapped her lips and teeth around the outer skin and bit in. Purple juice ran down the side the fruit and her mouth, staining it a dark color.

Slipping back outside and walking out the alley she headed for the main plaza of this city they called Mos Eisley.

"Come on! That piece of junk is barely worth that much!"

Shane was currently haggeling with a Jawa. Although unsucessfully, he wasn't about to let this little piece of nature's mistake to get the best of him. It seemed every merchant or two bit farmer was trying to get some money of you in Tatooine. True, it may not go for all of the desert planet but the feeling he got from some of these people was very close to the feeling he got whenever he visited old friends on Nar Shaddaa.

"Fine! I don't need your freaking engine. I'm sure I could just find a nice Dewback to take me across the desert."

Slightly defeated Shane walked away whispering, "Little bastard," under his breath. He wasn't wearing his Mandalorian armor and he would have given anything to have its cooling system installed in his jacket. Reaching into said jacket Shane went past his revolver and retrieved a bottle of water that who took a quick swig from before returning it to its dark place. Now to find a new dealer.

"I told you before, i got nothing for you. Now get out of here, your scaring others away!"

An angry human male yelled at Xentar, who was demanding some Bounties, but almost all were taken, and the ones that werent taken werent even worth Xentar's time. He had better things then to chase down pety thieves who stole fruit and so on. He came to this sand mound of a town to find Prey, and no better place them Mos Eisley would have what he seeked. He has already had a good look at where most of the inportant spots are in town from leaping rooftop to rooftop and scanning the area.

Once he knew this man had nothing, he turned and left, gently pushing aside a Klatooinian who bumped into him, giving a low growl from under his heavy helmet as he moved down the Market Square and back to the Main Plaza, perhaps others there could offer him Prey.

 

[Captain Kara]

The sun peeked over the cloud showering the city in bright light. Emi continued on her way slipped a pair of dark sunglasses over her crystalline blue eyes. She slipped through an alley way and up a ladder, bringing herself yet again to the top of a building. She looked over the main plaza. This was her domain and she would watch over it. Anyone causing trouble would to deal with her.

Emi crouched on the edge of the building reading to jump at moments notice. Her pulled something from her belt, a small flask. She smelt it to make sure it wasn't one of her poisons. She took a drink, a saw amount of liquid entered her mouth. She swallowed then replaced the flask. She knew that if things got too troublesome her ship was outside the city waiting for her command. She was prepared for anything her former master sent her way.

 

[Johnnysaurus Rex]

Shane stopped in the middle of the plaza and looked aorund at the various shops for anything else that sold any engines. He was going to use this engine to fix his speeder bike and this would ultimately get him out of this city and too his ship. Currently he was on a covert mission to meet with a few Mando contacts in the city and he had just learned that the bastards had skipped town.

"Why does this crap always happen to me?"

Shane heard a shriek coming from his left. Turning to look quickly he saw a man holding a little girl by her hand. The girl seemed to be trying to keep something in her opposing hand from him. She was no match for the adult's strength and the man was able to retrieve the item. It was a small bag of credits that the girl had pickpocketed. Shane didn't really care how this went down as it didn't concern him.

Man: "Alright girly what does this look like to you."

Girl: "Tha-That's mine!"

Man: "Sure doesn't look like yours. In fact I could swear this was just on my belt."

The girl gave no reply and stopped her struggling. The man smiled and put the pouch back on his belt. His hand lingered on his belt and he produced a knife.

Man: "How bout we cut off thos theiving ha--."

The man had no time to finish his entence as Shane Oderyn's fist struck him in the jaw. He had not been ready for the punch os he was sent off to his right and crashed into a market display. Two of the man's escorts produced stun batons and activated them. One gave a short whistle, most likely summoning back up, while the othe rbegan to round on Shane and the girl who was now cowering by Shane's left leg.

"Beautiful."

 

[Phil]

The sounds of comotion was going in in the central Plaza as pedestrians gathereed around a small stand. Xentar pushed his way slightly to the front to get a better glipse of what was happening, and from his view, he could make out a Mandalorian with a small child at his side, who was about to fight a group of men who were near another man who was on the ground. This would prove intresting...

 

[Captain Kara]

She scanned the commotion below. Should she intervene? She thought about out it but not before already jumping off the building. She pulled Aerosigil from her belt, the crystal blade shimmered in the light of the sun. She slowly walked toward the group of people. The men saw her and looked worried but stood their ground.

"You know when I explained this is my territory, I thought understood but I guess not. You walk away right now and none of you get hurt but you stay and fight, I will have no choice but to make sure you don't ever come back here." Emi shouted taking off her sunglasses and putting them on her belt.

 

[Ser Yorick]

OOC: Oh boy, oh boy! Decisions, decisions! Who should I join with? The Connery or Your Friendly Neighbourhood Bothan? This is a toughy, but... hmm, I think I'll go with the Bothan for now, he's always fun.

IC: What appeared to be a furball that got stuck in a grey suit came rolling around the corner between the buildings, launching itself into the middle of the conflict. During this grand entrance, dust billowed everywhere and when it finally dissipated, everybody could now see that it wasn't a furball at all! But a jovial little Bothan carrying two mini guns (they're now like huge chain guns, but basically handguns that fired off rounds like a machine gun, ya know. But with big clips :) ) and all sorts of grenades and other explosives on his belt, thighs and shoulder pouches. Not to mention the high-powered laser rifle strapped to his back.

It was a creepy sight. Eurrsk Plot'nel, a Major in the Grand Army of the Republic just came out of literally nowhere with an arsenal of weapons, jumping out in front of a small local dispute with a great BIG smile on his face. I mean, he wasn't even on duty!

"Hey ladiiiiiiiiiiiiiies! What's shakin'?" he asked, the Bothan's brown fur rippling and his violet eyes alive with excitement. "Been awhile since I've done a good amount of shooting, mind if I start again now?"

 

[Johnnysaurus Rex]

OOC: I ddin't mention this here but how would you know Shane is a Mando, Mulluns? He isn't wearing his armor and his tatoo isn't visible.

Shane was surprised by btoh new comers. A girl wielding a crystal sword and a Bothan completely deck out for a large fight. The two thugs who had drawntheir batons now drew their blasters as well. Shane smiled as he realised these bastards wouldn't have a chance. Then he saw the two speeders coming down the street. When the two vehicles stopped about two dozen thugs similarly dressed to the two currently surrounding Shane stepped out, except these guys were carrying sub-machine guns.

"Once the fighting starts get out of here," Shane was looking out of the corner of his eye at the girl, "They're more concerned about me for the moment."

 

[Ser Yorick]

"Alriiiiight! More of 'em! It's like a Kashyyyk buffet of thugger bugs!" Turning to the Mandalorian (yes, he knows you're Mandalorian, he can smell it!), "I can never seem to keep up with the times, but is the Republic at war with you guys again, or are we allies at the moment?"

 

[Captain Kara]

Emi watched as this "furball" appeared from nowhere then shook her head at his numerous amount of weapons, these were just thugs. Nothing much to worry about.

"We must dispatch them quickly before they can call for even more backup." Emi said pulling out Sunblade with her left hand, "This is my territory and I intend to keep it that way." She gripped the blades tight in her grasp.

 

[Johnnysaurus Rex]

"Yeah, I say we work out things when this is over."

Shane looked back tot he girl as she explained that this was her territory again. Due to her choice of words Shane could only conclude that she was some sort of vigilante. Or someone who has a more 'economic' holding of this area and doesn't wish potential consumers to be sent astray by the fighting.

"Whatever."

Shane tapped the little girl' shoulder with his left hand and drew his revolver with the right. He had it almost all the way clear and ready when the girl finally fealt the pressure of his touch and he had already fired a single round into the heart of one thug when she realized that was her prompt to start running.

 

[Phil]

Xentar saw more thugs coming, and the crowds were now clearing out to avoid getting caught in the fight. Xentar couldent resist, so much blood to spill, so much scum to rid from this universe, he couldent pass this up. Both his blades shot out from his gauntlets as he walked into the fray.

"I believe the Humans and the Bothan could use assistance."

Though, he didnt really care for them, only the fighting he was about to face and the blood he would spill.

"'Yeah'? I didn't ask a yes or no question! I asked whether we were fighting or allied, there is no 'yeah'!" Eurrsk just shook his head, now turning his attention to the mass of thugs that had now appeared. It really didn't matter if they were at war or not, the Bothan was wearing his grey jacket, meaning he was off duty, so the Republic's interests took side seat to his stomach. And right now, he was hungry for some VIOLENCE!

On the Mandalorian's first shot, Eurrsk Plot'nel sprang into action! Dipping, rolling, and dashing, the furry little Bothan was a joy to watch! Fragments of metal and tears of flesh flying everywhere, Eurrsk was firing off both guns after having chucked out a thermal detonator, killing off a fairly large group that had been slow to get out of the speeder in one fantastic explosion!

"Let's get this show on the road!" he screamed! No longer was he cute and cuddly (unless you're into that kind of stuff :P ). Eurrsk had become a killing machine! Splitting open heads and cracking rib cages of the folks who were dumb enough to get close to this break dancing lunatic.

 

[Phil]

OOC: God Damn, Kurt! lol

OOC2: Might be a bit graphic here.

IC: Watching the calm Bothan now going more bezerk then a rapid wookie, he kept his distance as he saw him literaly destroying the thugs that were attacking, but a good number of them got through the Bothan as he was killing them off. Xentar took this chance to grab one by the shoulder, and slammed his blade through his mid section and out his back, blood dripping out of the wound as he retracted the blade and let the half dead thug drop to the ground.

The second thug was dead when Xentar turned around and sliced through his neck with a growl, blood forming around his neck as he gagged and coughed, then his head fell off the stump of the neck and rolled into the sand, blood squirting out of the stump of the neck and onto Xentar and whoever else was nearby.

 

[Captain Kara]

ooc: Awesome Mulluns...*thumbs up*

Emi ran into the fray cutting two thugs in the chest. Her blades slicing completely through them. A thug came charging at her with stun baton in hand. She almost started laughing but composed herself. Bringing one blade to side and the other blade inward. When the man reached Emi she jumped and spun slice the man across the face then jamming the other sword through his body.

 

[Ser Yorick]

OOC: God Damn, Kurt! lol

LOL! Good to be back!

 

[Johnnysaurus Rex]

Most of the thugs had taken more notice to the other fighters' exploits and hadn't paid attention to most of what Shane was doing. One guard had raised a blaster and was training it on Xentar before he fealt a knee ram into his gut. He was doubled over, this exposed the back of his neck. Shane brought his knife down on the exposed skin and heard a nice clicking noise as his knife severed the man's spinal column and throat.

Lowering his knee and jerking out his knife Shane was able to turn in time to see one thug trying to rush him. His head was immediately infiltrated by a projectile round causing his head to tilt back, his body to collapse, and for a nice little mist of blood to fly out the back side.

Now, some gang members were taking notice of him. Mainly because he was now running at three of them. Before they could full react Shane threw himself at them. The one that was in the front of the group met the same fate as the previous guard. Shane put one guard to the ground with a boot stomp to the chest. Shane had to duck and turn as the third thug shot over his back. Shane fired a point-blank shot at the man's gut and then head. Not forgetting the second guard who was attempting to scramble to his feet, Shane turned once again and planted a knife into the man's heart.

 

[Ser Yorick]

It wasn't long before there weren't many of them left. Eurrsk began to grow disheartened, he had come for a fight, not a scrap with street thugs. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers! Or can they!? Anyway, the Bothan had run out of bullets for both of his mini guns, so he had moved onto a small vibroknife in one hand, and the high-powered rifle butting in his other armpit. There was a gash on the left side of his face, but Eurrsk ignored it. Let the red blood flow! The scar will only make him more attractive later, the ladies love scars.

 

[Phil]

Xentar continued to cut through another two thugs, This was almost like slaughtering cattle. Xentar never stopped, his blood presure went up as he killed and was covered in more blood from his foes. A mix of red, purple, and other colored blood has covered his helm and plate armor, as was his blades. He grabbed another man, thrusted his blade through his chest and yanked out, only to slam it back in as he repeated the process three times before yanking the body to the floor.

He then severed the arm of another twi'lek who was about to strike the Bothan with a blade. The severed arm fell to the ground, still clutching the blade as blood gushed out of his stumb and all over where the Bothan was, screaming in agony. Xentar then made a diagonal strike at his chest, splitting his shirt open and his chest as more blood poured through the wound, his ribs close to cracking and splitting out of his chest as Xentar kicked him away swiftly. There couldent be many more left, and his blades were pleased with there beverage they have recieved.
