Almost Cold Case

[David S]

Aeth had snuck into a ship to get to Nar Shadar. It was a freighter ship so Aeth had no problem hiding. He hid in a bin for four hours; he found it to be no trouble. As the ship was being unloaded Aeth snuck off the ship. He hid in the shadows. He ran within the shadows, he ran out of the docking area to find almost no crowds. There were almost no people. Aeth started to wonder if this was the right place. Aeth looked around getting a weird look every now and then because of his tattoos. Aeth then remembered that he didn’t yet know who he was searching for. Aeth searched around for half an hour to find almost no wanted signs and no police stations. But then just as Aeth was about to give up he saw a almost teared down and ripped wanted poster. It had a picture of a human on it. It had his last seen destination: Refugee Sector. Aeth knew that was probably where he was. Aeth scouted around for a bit and then remembered that he saw and refugee sector entrance when he was looking for the wanted poster. He led himself towards that entrance. On his way there he stopped off near a shop, it offered weapons and traps ect. Aeth went over to the shop owner and told him to poison all four of his daggers and add sniper attachments to his pistols, and make them shoot as fast as a machine blaster. He also asked for the antidote to the poison for the daggers. Aeth gave the shop owner the weapons and after a little while the shop keep gave him back his weapon and the antidote. Then Aeth out of nowhere stabbed himself. He started breathing heavily. Aeth poured a single drop of the antidote over his wounds and it almost instantly healed. Then Aeth put away the daggers and antidote and pulled out his newly modified blaster pistol, Aimed it right between the eyes of the shop keeper and shot. The shop keeper fell to the ground dead.

Aeth walked away from the shop almost fading into the shadows as he tried to hide for now. He slowly made his way towards the refugee sector. Once he got there, he started to feel a little warm and he started to breathe heavily because of all the people there. He saw crowds of people. Aeth was very worried he’d kill the wrong person and have this whole sector after him. Aeth joined the crowds and started to sweat. His robes were a little hot in the weather on Nar Shadar. Aeth searched person after person trying to focus and see the single person not the entire crowd. Then Aeth noticed the looks of the person on the wanted poster. Aeth could taste it, it was almost defiantly him. The man turned around to see Aeth staring right at him. The man started running immediately; Aeth then knew this would be hard. The man ran into what seemed to be a guarded area. Aeth ran towards the doorway to get in to find the doors closing. Aeth sprinted; he was sweating with fear at everything moving so quickly in the crowd. As Aeth got close to the doors he found himself being punched a meter or two backwards. There were two heavily armed guards guarding the doorway. Aeth knew the only way out would be a fight.

Aeth grinned trying not remembering that there were heaps of people around him. The guards were armed with what looked like double-bladed Vibro swords. The both swooped at Aeth. Aeth jumped up, he didn’t do much of a big jump. But by the time Aeth had both his feet on the ground both guards were dead. Aeth pulled his poison daggers out of their faces. Aeth opened the doors by hacking into the security system. As he walked in he saw about four men with blaster rifles pointed to his head. Aeth thought this task would be easy. The men fired at him, he ducked resulting in all the men shooting themselves. There was another door to Aeth’s left. It had two guards guarding it. They had not yet noticed the fighting. Aeth walked up to them. They were armed with double-bladed Vibro blades as well as two blaster pistols each and a blaster rifle each. Aeth knew this was the door the human was hiding behind. But Aeth also knew this would be the hardest part. The men pulled out their blaster pistols, aiming at Aeth. He knew he wasn’t going to get out of this one as easy. The shot at him while Aeth ducked and went to trip the guard to his right. The guard to his left noticed and shot Aeth in the foot. Aeth didn’t scream in pain. He continued to trip the guard. Aeth continued to trip them both. Aeth pulled out his blaster pistols and shot them both before they could get up.

Aeth opened the door the same way he got in. He saw the human with a blaster pistol to his head. The human shot, this time Aeth wasn’t quick enough to duck. It blew off one of his eight horns. Aeth now had a very angry look on his face. The human moved backwards a few steps. He continued to aim at Aeth’s head. Aeth knew this wasn’t going to be easy.

This guy’s got a lot of skill, even though he’s only using a blaster he already taken one of my horns.

Aeth pulled out a single one of his blaster pistols. The human shot, Aeth shot as a natural reaction. Aeth bent down and eventually fell down while as he killed the human. Aeth stood up to look at his kill. Aeth put the body onto his shoulders. As Aeth walked out of the building he noticed snipers set up around the area. Aeth saw the crowds and relised he wasn’t the only one that wanted the bounty. He relised it only took common sense to figure out that if he didn’t get out of there fast he’d be a dead man.

Aeth sprinted for the door out of the refugee sector. He could see the red bolts coming from the snipers. Slowly, as Aeth made his way towards the door the pain of the wound on his foot creped up upon him slowly. He could feel the pain, but he knew not to give into it. As soon as Aeth got within ten meters of the door the pain became greater and greater. Aeth slowly gave into the pain. A sniper knew where he was going to stop. Everybody knew it, they just couldn’t pin-point it like this sniper could. The sniper shot at him. Aeth saw it coming straight for him and he knew immediately that he had to use the crowd to save him. As soon as the bolt got close to him he pushed a refugee in front of him. The bolt killed him instantly, Aeth this wasn’t going to stop the bolt but it could re-direct or even slow the bolt down. Aeth sprinted for the door with the searing pain within his foot. As soon as Aeth passed through the door he saw a face. It wasn’t a normal face; it was a person in authority’s face. Aeth stood up; he looked towards the police officer.

So you got him eh?

Aeth stood with an annoyed face. The police gave Aeth a piece of paper which was the reward for the bounty. After giving the human to the police Aeth walked off towards the nearest surgery. After he was ready to leave he remembered that he was meant to give it to Lord Lettow. Aeth didn’t know where to find Lord Lettow. Aeth waited for a signal form him to tell him where he was.

 

[Carden Mannux]

*He sat upon his throne on Yavin IV and pressed the comm signal to the right of his gold-crowned chair.*

"Young hopeful, when you have completed your task report to me and me only on Yavin IV. You will recieve further instructions upon arrival."

 

[David S]

Aeth knew that there was destine to be a ship going to Yavin IV. Aeth snuck into a ship that was close to empty. It was hard getting in without anybody seeing him, but he knew this was his area of expertise. In an hour or so the ship took off. It headed towards Yavin IV. In about three hours time Aeth got off as the ship wasn’t unloading anything. Aeth thought that this was a little strange. As Aeth got out he saw three men in front of him. They had a Vibro sword each. Aeth thought he could challenge himself by killing these idiots without using a single weapon. One man swooped at Aeth, Aeth kicked his sword into another mans chest, resulting in killing him. The third man (the only with a weapon) swooped at Aeth, Aeth jumped letting him smash into ship. The first man ran off, Aeth wasn’t going to bother trying to kill him or the one who knocked himself out of the ship. Aeth got out his com-link.

Master Lettow, I have finished my task, what shall I do next?

 

[Carden Mannux]

"They never listen..."

*He switched his commlink on.*

"Report to me, just as I told you."

 

[David S]

K'Kurshek spoke bakc into the com-link.

Where are you?

 

[Carden Mannux]

*He rolled his eyes. This was already not going well.*

"In my throne room, Captain Obvious."

 

[David S]

Aeth forgot about the temple.

I am sorry, but in my mission I had forgotten most things apart form what I was to do then and there.

Aeth walked towards the temple, he walked for at least three hours before getting in sight of the temple. Aeth walked up the temple steps faster than he had walked. Aeth was let inside the temple by the guards. Aeth had almost no idea where the throne room was, after all this was only his second time in the temple. Aeth walked around a bit before knowing where everything is. Eventually Aeth found the throne room. Aeth walked dup the steps and found Lord Lettow sitting on his throne. Aeth walked up to him and bowed after giving Lord Lettow the piece of paper which meant he could collect the ten thousand credit reward on the humans head.

 

[Carden Mannux]

"So, young recruit. You decided to keep me waiting for four hours before finally deciding to come and bow before me. Do you have any idea how boring it is to sit for four hours waiting for some pitiful recruit to hand him a mere piece of paper?"

 

[David S]

Aeth snorted knowing this might resulting in his death, but he didn't really care. Aeth's family have been mere slaves to the Sith for the past eight generations.

I am sorry, but this is no mere piece of paper. It is a piece of paper worth ten thousand credits.

 

[Carden Mannux]

*He laughed at the thought of ten thousand credits.*

"Do you honestly think that I care about ten thousand credits? I'm a con artist, you insipid waste of flesh. I am worth millions of credits. What you have presented to me is like a penny against a credit. You can keep the credits for all I care."

 

[David S]

Aeth put the paper in his pocked. Aeth then stood up.

What shall I do next?

 

[Carden Mannux]

"Have you confronted and overcome your fear of crowds?"

 

[David S]

Yes.

 

[Carden Mannux]

"Prove it..."

*He waved his hand out infront of them and a sudden halucination of the crowded Coruscant night-life sprung forth. Citizens bumped into the young Lettow Hopeful, some almost knocking him down.*

"I can feel fear in you. Fight it...defeat it...overcome it...only then will you be strong enough with the Dark Side to become a Lettow Recruit."

 

[David S]

Aeth breathed heavily for a second. A man came to bump into him. As the man came close Aeth smacked him with his shoulder. Aeth grinned for a second; he knew that there was nothing to fear.

It's a crowd of weaklings Aeth, you can handle them.

((OOC: The dark red means his thinking it. The red means his saying it.))

 

[Carden Mannux]

"See, the fear flows through you. Fight it. Destroy it. You have the power."
