Boomshockalocka: No Buy Backs (Taris)

[Qsan Torobah]

Q'san stood at a gun range in Lower Taris, owned by a small-time weapons dealer, a Pau'un pirate who came up to Q'san with an offer he couldn't walk away from. After receiving, he was given a chance to test it out, with dummy grenades, which were essentially low-grade fireworks stuffed into a breakaway metal shell, though it served the purpose for training Grunts on how to load and fire the weapon.

'Thunk...BANG...Thunk...BANG...Thunk...BANG...'

He acquired three out of three targets with his simulated ammunition. Once he got past learning to aim with an arc, he picked up on it quickly. Satisfied with the weapon, he turned to the Pau'un, with a grin on his face. "You said 7,500cr for the weapon and three crates of ammo, yeah?"

"Aye, I did. I see you were satisfied with the weapon's performance. I'll be honest, Q'san, I like your style, so I'm gonna cut you a deal, take five hundo off that price, and it's all yours. That's a case of ammo for free. Buy you a throwaway pistol or something like that. Or save it! Hell, you don't need me to tell ya how to spend your money," the Pau'un said, laughing at his own humor. It struck Q'san as overly kind for a weapon's dealer. He knew something was up, but played dumb.

"Deal," Q'san said, taking the alien by the hand, and looking the man in the eye. A few moments later, a thug under the employment of the dealer carried the cases down the stairs to the hangar set at the edge of the city, as it was once a larger section but collapsed in early history of the Tarisian planet. It was later cut away with a turbolaser, and left a large hole in the undercity, until it was re-purposed as a 'back-door' entrance for Taris-based smugglers.

A few more fake goodbyes between the two, and Q'san went into his ship,and grabbed his sidearms, and immediately to the crates of ammo, the loading door still wide open, and checked the grenades. Loading one into the chamber of the grenade launcher he carried with him, he stepped to the bottom of the loading door, and fired the weapon with one hand, bracing the stock under his armpit. The training grenade exploded harmlessly less than two meters away from the feets of the thugs.

"You're a real piece of kark for that," Q'san said, almost laughing, as he set the weapon down and lifted his Javelin Rifle from it's slung position, and took aim at the Pau'un, "Gimme what I paid for, or the next thing I shoot at you's gonna hurt."

The Sith Lord had accompanied Q'san for this rendezvous, prinicpally because they were looking at certain off market vendors for illicit weapons and arms deals. As the agent looked over the launcher that the pirate gave him, Victress was standing off to the side surveying the collection of several other weapons and specialty grenades that seemingly were poised for production soon. The voices of her agent yelling caught her ear as she snapped her attention towards him. Naturally lofting a brow, she moved over and hovered several paces behind the pirate and his bodyguard.

Dark tendrils of force grabbed at the Pirate's neck, issuing a force choke as she slowly shifted her gaze upon her companion. "No need to resort to such primitive means Q'san, perhaps I should just snap his neck?" She replied, in a sadistic but yet humorous manner.

Q'san shrugged, "Kark it, I'll kill 'em all, and make that prick watch," he said, before dropping the launcher, and swinging his hand down to his thigh holster, holding his primed and ready scatterblaster and gripped it with both hands, aiming and firing scattershot into the main body of the criminals, prompting the eight guards surrounding the dealer scatter for cover around the drug dealer, who was held in place with a vile ring gripping his neck, if the hovering Sith Lady didn't do so prior to his shot. Wasting no time, after seeing on man fall to his shots, he fired again, before leaping toward a few crates, with his wrist blades extended and plunging the two meter-long blades into the first man's chest, and kicking another in the stomach. In his left hand was his scatter blaster, which he used as a striking instrument on the man he had kicked, and continued striking him, in the neck and temple with the pistol grip a few more times before he executed him with a savage slash across his neck with his wrist blades, all while the dealer watched Q'san executed his men as if they were nothing in front of him. Q'san turned to him and tapped the warmed barrel of his scatterblaster, and let out a chuckle, from behind his helmet. He opened his mouth to speak but four more guards left in reserve ran from inside the building, taking up cover behind some pillars.

"Move again, and your boss loses his head. Bring me what I paid for, and I won't bowl this whole operation over, and put a parking lot of your remains," Q'san said, loud enough for all to hear, as he lifted his pistol to sweep across the line of fire of all the other guards. He wasn't bothered, as the Sith Lady levitating above them had a point of vantage on all of them.

Arianna chuckled, watching as Qsan decided to attack the dealers with murderous intention. It seemed that these lowlifes attempted to haggle her agent ally out of a fair deal, and such had been a gravely ill-advised action. Qsan attacked immediately, slaying one man and then killing the second. Four other guards attempted to position themselves in a safe location, using cover as their ally without knowing full well that the Dark Lord could easily circumvent any advantage they felt they had. Utilizing her force energies, she sent a wall of telekinetic blast towards the several boxes that the four stood behind. The impact was sudden and powerful, reeling them onto the ground in a mere blur. Stunned, they would be quick work for Qsan to follow up and execute them.

Q'san counted six individuals, counting the leader, whom had been released from Victress' grasp, and was currently balled up on the ground, gasping for air. Q'san wasted no time with negotiations, and simply thought the streets of Taris would be better off with one less group of gunrunners in the Undercity. Upon this realization, Q'san simply jerked back the trigger on his Scatterblaster, blowing off the top half of their boss' skull. The blaster kicked back hard, but Q'san had a tight enough grip on it not to lose the weapon, due to the recoil, but Q'san would dip left, before shots could be sent his way, diving behind a crate, and drawing his pistol, then aiming and firing at the four men who'd been stunned, gunning two of them before they could stand. However the other two, who were not semi-inebriated due to drugs or alcohol, managed to roll behind cover, but that wouldn't save them, as Q'san was trained on their position. The other four guards, began suppressing Q'san's position, but the durasteel crate would be sufficient enough cover.

With four shots left in his Scatterblaster, Q'san fired on those who were currently out of cover firing at him and Victress. Deciding enough was enough, he waited for a lull in the blaster-fire, and shot up to his feet, firing a salvo of four three-round blasts, killing two more men, with a trio of bolts to the chest. After which, he returned to cover, not before getting tagged in the shoulder by a stray bolt.

"I'm going in to get a spare, once we clear a path. We'll leave one alive, so the rest know not the kark with the Empire," he shouted from cover, to Victress, as he expelled his spent power cell, and switched the setting to spreadshot, preparing himself for the close-quarters combat that would follow his advance back into the building for another launcher, and a few crates of ammo.

Darth Victress chuckled, somewhat amused at the agent and his desire to utilize blasters and firearms when sabers would be significantly more efficient. She smirked and cast outwards with vile force powers, lights momentarily dimming and then fading to nothing by void darkness within the warehouse. Their enemies would begin to grow unsettled, fidgeting with sudden loss of visibility and unable to comprehend the looming danger they had found themselves into. Lightsaber ignited into her right fist, creating a surging column of crimson fire in her grasp and her armored form moved quickly to its right. Wrapping the force around her defensively, a barrage of blaster bolts came in her direction but quickened utilization of her abilities skewed the shots off their mark and the others were deflected backwards with her blade. Two of the bolts caught a soldier in the chest, sending his corpse with burnt marks across the torso to the ground in a mere blur. The others momentarily shifted their attention from Qsan to the dark lord, firing at her position as Victress took cover behind a stone pillar.

Free hand cackled with green lightning, in preparation for a force attack in the coming minutes if need be. Hopefully, the distraction would allow Qsan ample opportunity to finish them off.
