Open Coruscant Cleaning House, or Partners in Crime

[Xiann]

Xiann watched as the fatman rolled over the railing and began his plummet to the ground. Why would he do that? What was so wrong with him that he’d choose to jump after Drast rather than try to stop her and Galania? Her thoughts were cut short however as Galania had decided to accelerate to reposition and was told to hold tight. The Twi’lek leaned closer against the Zeltrons back and wrapped her arms tighter around her waist, “Don’t mind if I do.”

Though she had intended to tease Galania a bit, she was interrupted as the driver rapidly accelerated to the ledge and then over it, the pair now plummeting to the ground the same way the men had. While the bike itself easily stopped them from splattering across the floor, there was still a hefty bump as their momentum dispersed, causing her grip on the driver to tighten more for a moment before relaxing again. These Jedi really were insane, leaping without looking is not usually a good strategy.

Xiann recovered herself as Galania asked where to go. She leaned over her shoulder to talk in the Zeltron’s ear, “Just head to the space port, there's plenty of cargo containers we can use. As long as Pretty boy manages to lose Rolo, we’ll have plenty of time.” She rested her chin on Galania’s shoulder as they drove, just in case they needed to hear each other over the rushing air.

[Kel Rollan]

Kel Rollan was no longer amused. He finally found the human, running towards a speeder and was about to give chase when a rather large construction worker stepped in front of him. "Woah bi-" He didn't wait for the construction worker to finish his sentence, instead grabbing the force and casting the construction worker aside and into a wall. His peers took the hint as he continued walking. The boy was getting into a speeder and Kel reached out once more, forcing two signs up from where they were attached to the ground and launching them at the speeder.

The sound of a familiar rumbling engine came from above and Kel glanced up. The other two were already getting away. No matter. He would just have to catch the human if he wanted to catch the other two. Either he would talk or they would try to help him He began running again, drawing on the force to provide speed. He would catch up to this speeder. At some point his lightsaber had made its way into his hand.

Reaching out once more he jumped, finding himself falling into an arc designed to make him land on the hood of the escaping speeder. He thumbed the activation plate expecting to hear the familiar snap hiss, however a weak sound emanated instead, the blade was fighting him again. The exile instead used it as a tool, smashing at the windshield of the speeder with it. He could feel his anger rising as it failed to yield. He brought the lightsaber back once more, reaching out with the force to assist his next punch.

Kel. The exile looked around in disbelief. He looked down at the human once more, he thought he could sense fear. He could feel his own anger subsiding, how could he have done this? Did he kill that construction worker? Was he going to just capture this kid or was he about to murder him? Kel jumped from the speeder, rolling as he landed on the ground. What had he done? He looked back on the chaos he had caused. This was the worst incident yet. It was time to leave Coruscant.

[Lani Tallis]

THEME & REFERENCE​

The breeze of speed blew into Galania's face softly, lifting the Padawan's indigo braids into the air from time to time. The world around her was a blur of lights, people, and their feelings slowly flying by; but Lani didn't care for those flashes, for there was something constant behind her. The young Zeltron felt like she was carried by the wind; no she was the wind—going wherever she pleased, at the speed she wanted. Lani's smile was as wide as it could be; after the adrenaline rush of an escape, she almost purred with calm joy, radiating it around her.

Lani held onto the handlebars of her newly-acquired swoop bike casually. In fact, she almost didn't feel the swoop under her at all. This sweet calm of a ride was just as intoxicating as the thrill back at the apartment. Police sirens may've been somewhere behind them, but Lani didn't care. Sure, the trio could've ended up in a lot of poodoo if that drunken hobo had stalled them long enough. But Lani and Xiann had run off, probably before anyone noticed them. Perhaps they'd even be able to regroup with Drast and return to Kori's apartment once the heat died down. After all, the place still belonged to the Tallis family.

"Plenty of time?" the Zeltron hummed in response to Xiann's comment. "I say we take a loooong scenic route."

[Drastus Drahr]

The crowd around the worker would be appalled by Kel's actions and as he kept using the Force more and more, the people would begin to give chase to Kel. The worker's neck was at an odd angle and he was unmoving. Either this Pajama Bandit killed him or ruined his life. "NO MORE JEDI! NO MORE SITH! NO MORE JEDI!"

"FOR RAYDEN!" one of the other workers shouted as he gave chase, the name of the worker being joined in the chorus as they chased Kel.

Drast could see one of the men get thrown by his chaser and he could feel his anger beginning to swell. And that would only triple as the psychotic man began to attack his speeder and then leapt on it. As he looked up, he could see the glint of a saber, clear as day. "Sith.." he growled. There was a momentary pause and that was what he needed to whip the egg tight around the corner. He was sure that's what knocked the Sith off. Now he had two options: engage or try to lead the Sith away. As he looked back the way he came, he could see the start of another riot and so he just gunned it out of there.

He memorized the face. "One day, Sith. I will kill you."

"All units, the kidnapper is a force user. He has already injured one male and tried to kill the kid. He is extremely dangerous and armed with his lightsaber. There is also a riot forming at his location. Send all available units." would come over the police scanner.

Drast would just keep going to the rendevous. He had a new enemy to hunt and kill.

Xiann glanced behind them as they raced off down the street, watching the chaos unfold around Drast’s speeder. At least he seems to be able to handle himself in a tight spot, a pretty good characteristic for Jedi she assumed. She smiled and turned back forward as she saw him race away from the forming crowds, even if his speeder had taken a little damage. She could always fix it for him later.

The Twi’lek placed her hands on the Zeltrons shoulders and carefully stood up. She let out a light groan as she stretched and let the wind blow over her face. It reminded her of how much she enjoyed her own bike, perhaps a race when they got back was in order. She stood there, her hands on Galania’s shoulders just taking in the passing landscape for a few moments before retaking her seat.

Xiann loosely wrapped her arms around the drivers waist again and placed her chin on the others shoulder, “Scenic route, huh? Sounds good. But no ledge jumping this time, yeah?” A wide smile crept across the womans face as she closed her eyes and just enjoyed the ride with one of her new friends.
