Letting Fate do its Work

[Barrill]

OCC: Anyone can join this one :)

Rats skittered away from the unexpected light formed by Durane's lightsaber in the dark caves of Dolomar. He treaded along at a constant speed, weaving in and out of the seemingly endless maze of tunnels. This was the first thing he did every morning in preparation for the day. There were forks at nearly every turn, and at nearly every turn, the young man turned randomly. He knew not where he was heading, which gave him a dim sense of excitement. These cold caverns have been known to hold some dreary secrets, and Durane had his mind set on figuring them all out.

He would find an escape from this prison of a planet, a beginning to his life outside home. Perhaps something in this cave held the secret to that, something not in the form of an expensive ship. Or perhaps it was merely a figment of his imagination. Perhaps, he was leading himself to destruction in these damp corridors.

Freeze right now! Killeth shouted toward the enemy he was ordered to chased. He fired 2 shots at his preys foot hoping to stop his progress through the sewers. Brown mucky water, if you can call it water, splashed up the sides of Killeth’s clothes. He wondered if his enemy knew where he was going or he was just running with out any premeditation. He once again fire a couple of shots at the foot of Durane.

Osis had spent the best part of a day wandering through the empty caverns,alone with her thoughts.Business back on Corucsant had been slow lately and she was using the spare time to stretch her legs a little.Most people wouldn't consider it a holiday,but she enjoyed the novelty of not having to watch her back all the time.

Arriving at a junction,she pulled out a datapad and checked the map.Left would take her back the way she came.Right would take her deeper into the middle of nowhere,where horrifying creatures that devoured anyone unfortunate enough to come across them were said to dwell.

Hardly even a choice there.

The Zabrak adjusted her shoulder lamp and took a right.The only sounds were her echoing footsteps and the rats scuttling past in the darkness.

Being stuck on Coruscant most of the time was starting to become suffocating.Maybe she should invest in a ship.She could wander the galaxy,do a bit of trade,turn her business into a more mobile operation.It would be just like the old days.Easier to avoid the long arm of the law that way too...

As she turned another corner flashes of light and the sound of gunfire exploded in front of her,interrupting her reverie.Instinctively she ducked back around the corner and unslung her rifle.

"Freeze right now!"

More gunfire.By the sounds of it she wasn't the one getting shot at,which was nice.All the same,why did she have to stumble onto these deadly situations all the time?!

The last time something like this had happened she ended up having a gun pointed in her face.And then a flash grenade went off in her face.That wasn't going to happen this time; she was going to take a firm hold of the situation.

She turned the shoulder lamp up to full strength.Hopefully blinding whoever was around there would give her an advantage.With one swift movement she was around the corner,rifle at the ready.

"NO,YOU FREEZE RIGHT NOW!"

 

[D.C.]

A man with black robes and a hood covering his face stood in the shadows. In his right hand he held a silver cilinder with a small red button on it. He watched the people running and shooting and shouting. It made him smile.

He thought of how he came there. Landing his shuttle on the planet, looking for a place to meditate and rest. Instead he found trouble, as usual.

Suddenly the thumb of his right hand pressed the red button and a silver blade flashed in the cave. He raised his weapon and looked over to the people.

"Could everybody please be so polite to lower those weapons and let me be at peace? Your noise is annoying me."

He looked around and there was another man with a lightsaber and he sensed the Force in him. A guy with a blaster who was following the saberwielder was present too. Then there was a Zabrak female, also holding a blaster. It looked like a complicated situation, but it could be ended easily.
A dark smile was on his face and he made his left hand a fist. He let the Force flow through him and waited for reactions from the other people.

An odd group indeed... he thought.

 

[Galykia]

Sorry random voice from a unknown location, I would except I am to busy to chat. Killeth still continued his pursuit through the bacteria filled sewer. In the distance he saw a bright light suddenly turned on, and not by his prey either.
What the… how many people are in these sewers? he thought to himself.

 

[Barrill]

As Durane's thoughts were in the clouds and the future, he heard some quick scuttling and, suddenly, blaster shots! His feet instinctively hopped, nearly dodging the blaster shots. Before having any time to respond to the assault, he turned, saw the form of a man faintly in the dim light, and then narrowly sidestepped some more shots. He knew not why he was under attack, let alone who this guy was. Then to top it off, more people showed up!

"What the hell..." His mind was all over the place. Durane had never been in real combat his entire life; he had lived a sheltered life of training. It looked like it was time to see what he was made of.

Swiftly, his hand slid down his side and grasped the handle of his blaster. In his other hand, he held the blue saber high in front of him, not only as a defiant stance, but also to shine light for him to see his enemy. He would remain silent and let the scene unfold before him.

 

[Certh]

As Certh continues to walk farther into this swamp like place, the bottom of his robe, soaked from the waters that inhabited this planet.

"I sense something, something that seems... odd"

Certh stops for a moment, as if the things he senses are right there.

"Hm, seems like there are other people on this planet besides me, interesting."

He walks until he hears a few blaster shots, then he hides behind a rather narrow, cracked boulder like thing. He peers out of the rock to see who was standing there, two other jedi and a few other beings.

"I don't want to disturb them.."

He then walks up toward the shooting and where the other jedi stood.

"Now, now.. What is going on here?"

 

[Raider]

OOC: *Cracks fingers* Let's see if I still got it.

*He wasn't sure why he'd been drawn to this utterly devoid rock called a planet. Walking through empty swamp and underbrush he had to clear every now and than with a casual nudge from the Force. The dark side continued to beckon him onward, that he'd understand why he was here soon. He paused, breathing in slowly and with that breath came all the power at his command. It twisted and swiraled around him as he reached outward. Searching for the reason he was here.*

*Yes. He could feel them now. Those luminous, transparent beings who's aura shone with like sunlight in the Force. He lips slide into a sly smile, yellow eyes flashing with cruel delight. Jedi. The word echoed outward through the Force and it were as if someone were leaning in from behind and whispering softly into one's ear. There was another, not so bright, but not truely dark. A mixture. He had encountered this kind once before, they had promise, but were to weak to realize it.*

*He could feel others as well, non-Force users, but he pay them no mind. He ceased to shield his presense and it was akin to suddenly being dropped into the very depths of an ocean; crushing in it's cold intensity, calm unwavering darkness washing over the area threatening to suffocate those caught in it's path. He started walking. The Jedi was a few minutes away from him, but he was in no rush, no rush at all.*

 

[sirroco]

Osis watched,slightly dismayed,as her intended target ignored her and continued to chase after whoever the hell he was chasing.Just as she began to consider her next move, a silver lightsaber ignited not far from where she was standing.From it's glow she could make out a robed figure...and then she watched as another robed figure joined the first.Jedi,she thought.No-one else was quite so keen on robes.

What the hell was was going on here?

She felt an involuntary shiver run down her spine.The surrounding caverns seemed to take on a menacing,claustrophobic quality.Something didn't feel right at all and it put her on edge.

Deciding that she might as well take a chance on trusting the Jedi,she quickly jogged over to where they were standing.

"So,what brings you two to dusty Dolomar?",she said with a smile." 'Cause I was here for some peace and quiet,but that seems to be in short supply right now."

 

[D.C.]

(( This place is getting crowded :P Maybe we should make this thread closed before more people join in? Unless you guys want more people in? ))

The hooded man with the silver saber looked at the Zabrak. He raised his empty left hand and opened his mouth to speak: "I'd like to talk to you, but not now!"

He sensed a dark aura coming closer, a strong aura. Someone who had fallen to the Dark Side. He looked around the place but he was not near yet. There was still time.

"Stop this at once, you dumb idiots!" he shouted to the fighting men. "A Dark Jedi or something like that is closing in on us and if we want to get out of this alive we should team up instead of fighting each other!"

He sensed the aura coming closer and he knew it was now the time to act. He let the Force flow through him and he raised his lightsaber.
Show yourself... he thought.

 

[Certh]

Certh, sensing the dark force as well, raises his lightsaber as it ignites and a aqua-blue saber appears out of nowhere.

"Where could he be, where could he be?"

Certh ponders this question for several minutes before he puts his lightsaber back onto his belt, blade back in the hilt.

 

[Barrill]

A sudden drop in the atmosphere weighed down Durane's heart; he knew not what it was. The robed figures started speaking of Dark Jedi, whatever those were. He did notice, however, that they became more alert and aware, even worried. It daunted the man not, though, as he still held his guard up against the man who had originally shot at him.

 

[Certh]

"Now, what was going on here.. I heard shooting, it doesn't sound too good"

Certh said with a chuckle in his voice, although still aware of the dark jedi.

"What is the problem?"

 

[Galykia]

My comanding officer gave me the task of hunting down this Jedi, I was told he needed to be captured and killed for war crimes. I wasnt told he was a jedi, wich makes me suspicious about is alleged crime. Jedi are not known as criminals. Durane, that is your name correct? What is it you did, if you did do anything. Killeth said with a shrug of his soldiers.

 

[Barrill]

Durane stood and listened, becoming more confused and bewildered as the seconds passed by. After the man was done speaking, a twisted look of confusion was splayed on his face.

"Jedi? What are Jedi?"

The man had never left his planet; he had no connections whatsoever to the outside world. Truly, this was the most action he had seen his entire life, besides in bed.

 

[D.C.]

Quentell stepped forward and shouted to those who kept speaking: "Don't you understand, fools?"

He used the force to let some water splash over them and continued to speak: "There is a Dark One near and we have no time to chitchat! I don't exactly know how powerful he is, but if he is completely consumed by it, he might strike us in a blind rage! Just aim those weapons at the Dark Jedi instead of each other!"

 

[Certh]

Certh looked at the worried one

"Do not worry, we don't even know where he is, even though he is close, there is no telling where exactly he is."

Certh said with a stern look upon his face as he could sense how close the dark lord was to the group.

"And besides, we outnumber him, and the jedi here are all skilled in the force."

 

[sirroco]

Osis shook her head at Certh's words.

"Still,no reason to be complacent,eh?The one with the silver lightsaber is right.It seems we all found each other easily enough,and we must be the only people around for miles.Wouldn't be surprised if he turns up soon. That blaster fire earlier,sound travels well in these tunnels..."

She glanced around,taking in the surroundings.

 

[D.C.]

"I am not a Jedi, nor is the one with the blaster and the lightsaber." he said as he looked around.
"It's not that I fear this Dark Jedi, I just don't want you all to die."

 

[Raider]

Certh looked at the worried one

"Do not worry, we don't even know where he is, even though he is close, there is no telling where exactly he is."

Certh said with a stern look upon his face as he could sense how close the dark lord was to the group.

"And besides, we outnumber him, and the jedi here are all skilled in the force."

*A laugh erupted through quiet stillness of the air.*

"Do you truely believe your numbers mean so much. That your skills will be enough? Oh, Jedi, how wrong you are."

*The voice that spoke those words had a slight slyness to it. A playness that did nothing to hid the malice behind every word. He was moving within view now and they could see him now. A few dozen feet and moving closer came the Chagrian. Body covered in red and black tattoos, but what drew the eye most were the eyes. Those sulfur yellow eyes that burned like a twin pair of suns.*

*He continued to approach them. His lips sliding into a cruel smile as his yellow eyes flickered from one member to another. Two sabers swung lazily from his belt, fangs just waiting to be let loose on the prey infront of him.*
