Jade Prison

[The New Guy]

Location: Prison on Christophsis
Cell block C
Time: 0300 Hours


When Chos had woken up, he was in the a holding cell with all his gear missing. The last thing he could recall was being in a shootout with Jia and Jason. It quickly occurred to him that he had lost the duel, and had probably been under for several hours. The man had no idea where his holding cell was located, but he was hoping that he wouldn't be there long.

He sat is silence for an hour or so, contemplating how an escape might work out. He had left Arden and M4 on Rishi, and they were likely to know he went missing. Hopefully they had notified the Chosen or some other party, and a rescue would be en route. But for now, all he could do was sit in silence. After an hour had passed, two guards approached Chos. Before he could offer any quarrel, they shot him with a stun gun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
​

An unknown amount of time had passed, and Chos woke up once again. This time he was clearly in an actual prison, seeing as he was in a large concrete room, with only a durasteel door in front of him and a small bed; there was that, and the yelling of other inmates in nearby cells.

"Well...this ought to be fun."

Chos sat on the bed, tapping his feet, waiting.

"Well what do YOU think we should do?!"

The voice shouted, echoing down from the balcony. He turned to the small statured chicken sitting behind him. The chicken gave a half shrug, half head turn, marking both lack of care, and indecision. Prudii rolled his eyes at her and turned back to his target, "Of course you'd be like that. This is why Caed sends us on these missions."

He took a few steps forwards on the small balcony, looking down. He could see from this abandoned tower, the small blocky permacrete and crystal building that served as the black site prison. Prudii had gone to Rishi, the last place Chos had been seen, where he'd found the man's droid. The droid had confirmed that Chos had been taken, and a scan of outbound ships from the system had shown one of the right size and make coming here. That lead him to scouting the planet for the right kind of facility, and finally, this one.

The prison was surrounded by tall razor-wire fences, and was monitored on the top by a couple of snipers, alternating shifts. It was situated in a rundown abandoned district, with abandoned crystal towers dotting the landscape, like the one he was currently in.

Retreiving a thermal detonator from his belt he looked at it for a second, before twisting the detonator to on and setting it to 5 seconds. Tossing it towards the building, he watched as the small metalic orb dropped until it clinked against the roof. The guards were confused for about a second before the detonator went off and they were sent, charred, tumbling off the roof, and a large red hot hole was opened up in the roof. Getting a running start Prudii leapt off of his roof and began to slow his descent with his jetpack.

When his feet met the firm permacrete of the upper floor of the prison, he could hear the alarms of the prison going off all around, as the lighting drifted into a shrill red.

"Honey, I'm home!"

Jia had just dropped Chos off on Christophsis about a day ago. She hadn't left the planet out of sheer laziness, but decided today would be the day. She had armored up and left to the black-site prison she had dropped her bounty off at the other day; she figured it wouldn't hurt to say goodbye to Chos. As the woman walked through the abandoned towers, she didn't notice the man crouching over a balcony with a detonator in hand.

As Jia finally entered the gates of the prison, she was greeted with the sound of an explosion.Her attention was drawn to the roof of the prison, where a thermal det had gone off. "What the kriff...". She watched in awe as a crazed man jetpacked on to the roof and screamed something inaudible. Between the odd man, and the explosion, Jia was terrified. There were so many questions running through her head; was Chos ok? Who was that crazy man? Why is the world is going on?

She decided to find out for herself. She turned on her jetpack and flew to the top floor of the prison, jumping down the hole made by the detonator.

 

[The New Guy]

Chos sighed, he had been in his cell for about 30 minutes with nothing to do. Prison is kirffing boring, he thought to himself as he paced around. Ironically, as soon as the thought entered his inner-monologue, an explosion rang out throughout the building. The alarms came on, and the sprinklers in the hallway began spraying water everywhere. The intercom buzzed to life as a voice boomed through it. "ATTENTION. BREACH ON THE SECOND FLOOR, CELL BLOCK C. ALL AVAILABLE PERSONNEL, REPORT TO CELL BLOCK C!"

Chos could feel the adrenaline pumping through him, he knew it had to be somebody from the Chosen. He went up to his door and peeked through, hoping to catch a familiar face. As he looked through the open door, his head convulsed in extreme pain. He fell to the floor, clutching his head. He screamed as his sudden headache got worse, and worse. That's when the images started appearing. An image of Caed Vizsla passed through his head, followed by the mask of Mand'alor the first, followed by an explosive ball of fire. The cycle repeated. Caed. Mask. Fire and explosions. Caed. Mask. Fire and explosions.

Chos screamed out in pain and despair once again. He couldn't comprehend anything, and everything hurt.

Prudii slid backwards in what would almost be considered a moon walk as he hit the permacrete floor. Two very confused prison guards wheeled on him, but they were dropped with ease. No one expected the Spanish Inquisition a Mandalorian to drop through the ceiling and begin firing at them, and they were not nearly quick enough to stop him. He listened for a moment, trying to locate Choss. He spun around, just as two convicts were breaking out of their cells. A quick jab of his vibroblade impaled one, his gut gushing blood as he tumbled down the hole in the floor. The other began backing away, and Prudii simply cut the man away with a shot to the abdomen that sent him tumbling down the hole as well.

The alarms were overwhelming, but after a moment he was able to adjust his helmet to tune out the alarms, and he listened for the familiar voice, there you are.

He was about to hop down the hole when a much smaller Mandalorian woman flew up through the hole he had just punched in both the roof and floor. Cocking a head Prudii looked at her, blaster raised,

"Now what is a pretty girl like you doing in a place like this?"

 

[Coted]

Jia had expected the other Mandalorian to be gone when she reached the roof;he wasn't. She was met with a blaster pointed at her face, and a cheesy one-liner. Her quickdraw instincts began to kick in, and her fingers grazed over the blasters on her thighs. She decided against shooting the man, and instead decided to answer his question. "The name is Jia Vogu, bounty hunter. And I'm here because I wanted to say goodbye to a....a 'friend' in here." She rested her hands on her hips. "Who are you? And what are you doing here?"

She had a hard time reading the man in front of her, so she didn't expect the man to provide a logical answer. She didn't really care who he was, she just wanted to make sure he hadn't harmed Chos.

Prudii saw the woman reach for her thigh holstered blasters, drawing them, but opting not to blast him. This was a good sign, all healthy relationships typically flourished when one member of the relationship didn't murder the other. She was immediately on the defensive, identifying herself and giving a vague explanation for why she was here. He shrugged towards her, "I'm Prudii Kyramud, and I was sent here to collect someone that doesn't belong here."

He took a step forward and jumped down the hole, dropping two levels before he rolled out of his descent onto the floor. He could hear Chos better now, screaming out of his cell. Prudii closed the distance towards the cell and pulled the door open swiftly,

"Chos buddy, you aight?"

 

[The New Guy]

The hallucinations were only getting worse; with the same visions repeating. Chos felt as if there was something running through him, something he couldn't quite grasp. His muscles tensed and his head began to ache even more as the door near him flew open; it was Prudii. The hallucinating Mandalorian was relieved to see his comrade, yet embarrassed that he had to see him in this state. He slowly got up, attempting to ignore his visions, and propped himself against the wall. That's when he saw the chicken.

There it was, an Endorian chicken standing next to Prudii. However, Chos has little time to think about the chicken as the visions swarmed his head again, the chicken dissipated, and his back arched backwards from the pain in his head. When the short fit ended, Chos threw his hands on to Prudii's shoulders, breathing heavily. He looked his comrade dead in the eyes and whispered. "Prudii...We can't...Caed...Caed...he can't have it....the mask. Caed...mask...fire." He wasn't speaking coherently but it was all he could muster before his knees went weak and he put all his weight on Prudii's shoulders. He wanted to ask about the chicken he had just seen, but that would have to wait.

 

[Coted]

"How rude," Jia thought to herself. The man who introduced himself as Prudii jumped down the whole shortly after introducing himself, leaving Jia alone on the roof. The huntress re-holstered her blasters and ran after the Mandalorian, curious about who he was after; if it was nothing of interest, she would probably just go look for Chos. She jumped through the hole after Prudii and broke her fall with a roll once she landed. After landing, she heard a bloodcurdling scream coming from one of the cells.

Jia watched as Prudii opened the door, and Chos stumbled out murmuring a bunch of gibberish. The seemingly broken man was still letting out gibberish when she approached the pair. "Chos..oh my, are you okay?" She threw one of his arms over her shoulder to help Prudii with the weight. The was a deep concern forming in her gut, she definitely cared for the man way more than she should. "What's going on?"

 

[Prudence]

As the door opened Chos was standing there, waiting for him. Prudii was quite surprised to see the man that close to the door, but the near seizure that followed was far more surprising. The Mandalorian latched his hands onto Prudii's shoulders - his face covered in a cold sweat. Then he started mumbling something about Caed and "the mask" and how Caed couldn't have 'the mask'. Prudii arched an eyebrow at the man, though that couldn't be seen under his helmet.

From behind him the female Mandalorian approached, concerned about Chos and asking him what was going on. The woman shouldered some of Chos's weight, and they began to move down teh hall.

"I'm not really sure."

 

[The New Guy]

Chos's vision began to fade as his weight fell on to Prudii. The hallucinations had stopped, and the headache was wearing off. He let out a series of short breathes as he felt the cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and drenching his clothes; his senses were returning to him. As he slowly began to feel better, he opened his eyes as somebody helped Prudii handle his weight. He looked to the left and was surprised to see Jia hoisting him up.

The duo was already moving him down the hall when he finally managed to say something coherent. "Thank you for helping me Prudii..." he then turned to Jia. "And Jia, what's your sweet face doing here?". He would normally be mad, but he couldn't help but be thankful that she was helping him move. Chos soon got feeling in his legs again, and began to help his companions move him by limping on his legs.

They had made it about halfway through the hall when he suddenly remembered something. "My gear! They've got to have it somewhere downstairs.". He was talking about his rifle and blaster pistol; the rest of his arsenal and armor were on his ship. He turned his head to Jia. "You wouldn't happen to know where they put my stuff, would you?". Just as Chos finished speaking, a shot rang out and a bolt pierced through his right calf. He fell off of his two helpers and looked behind to see a guard standing about 5 meters behind them, with his blaster drawn.

 

[Coted]

The group was walking down the hall when Chos finally spoke. He had thanked Prudii, and asked Jia why she was there. Feeling kind of appalled, Jia responded with "I was here to say goodbye to your sorry ass. But I guess for now I'm making sure it doesn't get killed.". She was really beginning to question her motives. She couldn't figure out why she was helping somebody who she had personally put behind bars yesterday. Maybe she was attracted to him, or maybe she simply enjoyed the company of other warriors. Honestly, she didn't really care what Chos had done, she had just caught him for the money.

As they crossed half the cell block, Chos raised a question about his weapons. Jia knew were they were, but before she could answer, a shot rang out. Chos was on the floor, and there was a guard a few meters back. The huntress quickly drew both her blasters and smoked the guard, leaving him dead within the second. She then turned to Chos and examined his wound. He was bleeding severely from his lower calf, and the bleeding needed to be stopped quickly. She ripped off part of Chos's shirt and used it to bandage to wound to an extent. Just as she finished bandaging him up, more guards appeared.

Jia looked at Prudii and said "His gear is on the first floor, in a locker next to the warden's office. There should be a ton of first aid supplies there as well. Make a run for it, and I'll holdout here with Chos." She then stared at Prudii in the yes through his T-visor and yelled, "GO DAMMIT!"

As Prudii ran off, she looked at Chos, then at the approaching guards. "We'll be fine...I hope"

@Prudence

 

[Prudence]

Prudii rolled his eyes as the two flirted, even now that they were dragging Chos's mostly limp form down the halls. As they were nearly to the escape hole Chos started screaming about his gear.

"Manda damnit Chos. Can't you keep a hold on your own shi-"

The statement died on Prudii's as Chos's weight suddenly lurched to the floor. He was turning, slinging his carbine across his body to his chest, when he noticed that the guard who had harmed Chos was already a smoking heap on the floor. Beside him Jia held smoking pistols, and was already dropping to the floor to treat him. Prudii stood guard for a moment, before Jia began shouting at him. He silently nodded his head, taking two steps and then jumping down the massive hole that lead down to the first floor. His thermal detonator had done a damn good job at opening a shaft to the bottom floor. By now the guards were swarming, but to the top level, and Chos's cell, not the first floor.

Prudii's boots met the floor with a thud and he made quick work of his bearings. Signs pointed for equipment, so he jogged down the hall and immediately found the man's two blasters lying around, having not been inventoried yet. Scooping them up he tucked them into his belt and ran back to the hole. He could already hear footfalls above him, and then shouts, we see him! Down there on the first floor!

Blaster fire pinged off the floor and his armor as Prudii jetted upwards, stopping his jets and tucking into a roll as he reached Chos's floor - ready for combat.

 

[The New Guy]

Almost immediately after Chos fell, Jia had taken care of the guards and was tending to him. She had told Prudii to fetch his gear and medical supplies and gear, so he left. As Prudii left, more guards appeared. Chos honestly didn't care about what was going on at this point, not even Jia's cliched "we'll be fine" comment. As the guards got into shooting range, he grabbed a blaster out of Jia's holster and let out 5 bolts, each aimed at 5 new guard's heads. Each one hit, killing them instantly.

He let out a sigh of relief as he handed the blaster back to Jia. Ignoring the pain and the massive amounts of blood coming from his leg, he propped himself up against her and pulled her into a kiss. Chos didn't have a care in the world, he was relishing in the fact that he was alive, nad was enjoying the heat of the moment. That was when Prudii decided to combat roll in.
