Let the crazies loose

[Cheshire]

Rokuro hated this alliance. As much as he loved and wanted the Republic to reform and rule the galaxy once again, he didn't think that the best way for it to come back was cheapshots and terrorist activities. He much preferred the Void Seprents way of doing things, murdering them with some sort of bravery and comradery rather than piss takes. He used to look up to the fearless leader of the Accord but now he felt nothing but rage and annoyance. Then again, everyone changed over time, I mean, he did so why couldn't Bria?

Yet still, he couldn't help but hate his new position but he couldn't really say he hated it, after all Apophe and Lazzis had eyes and ears all over and if anything got back to Lazzis, he would be smited in ways that were unimaginable to most people. However the one upside was that he was able to roam and explore occasionally. While walking around the infamous 'Asylum' he couldn't help but feel threatened and offputting, clutching his lightsaber in his pocket to ease himself.

Kira was currently underneath her wrecked gunship attempting to repair some damage to the ship's rear engines. Hareth was somewhere nearby as well helping her by retriving tools or small part for her so she didn't have to wiggle out from under the ship. Partly because Kira wanted to bond with the poor girl and partly because Kira dragged her here. Her 'bunk' was really just a makeshift living space in the hanger deck anyways, complete with a hammoc tied in between two support beams and a TV. Kira never liked to be too far away from her ship, regardless of what state of repair it was in.

From under the ship Kira could be heard groaning as she put all of her might into torquing a stripped and rusted screw out of it's hole with a jury rigged tool before slinging it across the room in defiance as the screw finally have way with a metallic *pop*. Kira backed out just far enough to stick her hand out and whistled in order to get Hareth's attention. "Hydrospanner please." She half asked as nice as she could.

Hareth wasn't sure what to make of Kira. She was kind to her, like a few people now seemed to be, but she was rougher, more salt of the Earth than a lot of the people there. She was built strongly, and Hareth respected that. She herself had worked hard to get back into shape after becoming rail thin from her time in the forest. Hareth had managed to get back some muscle definition from a workout routine in between the snacking and the tv-binging, but she still looked nowhere near as impressive of the Edemmian, whom she had taken to calling "buffcat".

She enjoyed working with Kira on her ship. In her time alone, Hareth had gotten good at hot-wiring speeders and taking them for rides when she needed to, and had picked up maintenance knowledge. A gunship was definitely more complex than a speeder by a large margin, but Hareth still enjoyed watching Kira work on the machine like she did. It was a very relaxed affair, all things considered.

She handed Kira the hydro-spanner, kneeling down. Having been told she was going to help with the gunship, she had changed into a tight t-shirt and comfortable pants, and even tied her hair back. She grinned at Kira. "She's looking better already," she said.

Then, she felt something move within the Force around her. She perked up, looking around for its source. Her senses were not as refined as her former master's, but she still knew enough to recognize things. She could feel a light-side user for sure, and they were close by, otherwise she wouldn't have sensed them.

Her blank eyes wandered to find a blonde-haired, beach-boy looking sort. Her eyes narrowed, and instinctively her hand drifted to the light-saber at her hip. She had no love for light-side users these days. To follow that path in modern times smacked of foolishness to her. After all, the dark side had effectively conquered the Galaxy. To beat the Sith, one had to use their own tools against them, not intentionally ham-string oneself by following the more "clean" option. The Jedi were weak, and there was no crime greater than weakness in the the Galaxy.

The longer that Rokuro walked, the more he felt himself going in circles. Every corridor seemed the same as he felt his head spinning. Eventually he found something that didn't look the same for the past 20 minutes. The hanger bay was massive and Rokuro couldnt help admire the ships and the people repairing them. That was one thing he didnt miss.... being on a ship. He hated them with a divine passion and he just wanted to hit the dry land as soon as possible.

However the smell of the darkside hit him fully as soon as he entered the room and he immediately knew who it was, looking over at the youngish Arkanian so he instinctively flaired up his own light side energy to try and cancel it out. Mind you, the majority of people on this ship reeked of the darkside but her even so. He just walked on around before he worked up the courage to go over and speak to them.

"Hi, do you know where the medical wing is?" He asked quietly and respectfully to the Arkanian standing next to the ship, while he was blissfully unaware of the Edemmian underneath the ship.

Hareth felt the Jedi expand his power, and she rolled her eyes at this pointless expression of bravado, not that anyone would ever be able to tell she had done so. Perhaps she could see the Doctor about that. There was no point to being mean if no one could tell you were being mean, after all. Took all the fun out of it!

"Well," she said. "You're going to want to just head down that hallway," she said while gesturing to the left of her. And then take a left and you should see a big sign that says 'medical bay'."

She then leaned in, looking at Rokuro. She had to stand on her toes to get even close to his face, but there was still an intensity to her that was hard to deny. Even without visible pupils or irises, it was clear that she was glaring at Rokuro with a great deal of contempt, as though she was almost disgusted by him.

"Or, if you want to get there faster," she said. "You could just keep trying to flare up your powers like that and I could have you sent there on a stretcher."

She looked over to Kira. "Kira! Are you hungry yet? I wanna go to the mess before they run out of that weird dumpling soup they have."

Kira palmed the cylindrical instrument and wheeled back underneath her ship, "Thanks Hareth." She responded, her words muffled as she turned on the hydrospanner in order to reseal the panel after checking to make sure that everything was wired correctly. From under her gunship Kira could roughly make out Hareth giving directions to someone and decided that, after a breif check, that everything was fixed where she was.

"Guess it is time to take a break, think they have anything that is actually edible this time?" She responded to Hareth's question as she rolled herself out from under the ship and sat up resting her back against her gunship's durasteel hull. Her brow furrowed as she noticed Hareth glaring at a lanky teenager that obviously did something to make her mad.

"Is this shrimp bothering you Hareth?." She asked, glaring at the man as the fur on her tails began to bristle.

While Rokuro was initially relieved that Hareth seemed nicer than what he got from her force presence. Rokuro instinctively smiled however as soon as she said that, he swore that she was glaring at him.... and it scared him... more than he would of liked to of admitted, especially since she was so much younger. Yet Still, Rokuro hadn't got himself into a good fight in such a long time, after all, he had been living comfortably for a long time with Lazzis, pretty much doing only cooking and cleaning and the occasional medicine and saber training. Yet still he was pissed that this girl would talk to him like that. Yet still, he decided that he was going to just leave it once again instead of trying to be sassy and annoying, so he was going to turn heel and walk away however he saw the Edemmian get out from under the ship and glare at him. He looked up at the big hairy thing that could barely resemble a girl with a glare in his eye.

When he heard the mutt call him shrimp, he decided that he had enough of them walking over him. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise dogs could talk?" he spat out very seriously before walking away, down the plain coloured halls towards the mess hall before Rokuro got to work preparing a good chicken meal for the rest of the inhabitants of the ship. Lazzis had ordered him to help out which pissed him off. As much as he was a 'free person' Lazzis sure did give him a lot of orders which was probably more than he usually got when he was a slave. Yet still, he didn't mind helping out preparing food. At least for tolerable people.

"Yeah that's right, go run on back to your husband!" Kira shouted at the strangly effeminent kid as he immediately turned tail and walked away after insulting her. Normally this would've been the moment where she would have bounced his head off of the wall for talking back to her like he did however if someone so young was on this ship he was probably here for a reason and Kira didn't wish to invoke Bria's wrath, not after she so kindly offered her work after her ship was wrecked.

"Do you believe this guy? Calling me a dog and then running like a coward. Some people have no courage." Kira said to Hareth as she shook her head in disagreement. Her stomach was now starting to rumble at the promise of good food as she stood up and shelved her tools before wiping her hands off on a moderately greasy shop towel. "You know I think I am ready to eat Hareth, lead the way."
@Retroboy​

 

[Retroboy]

Hareth glared at Rokuro, aghast that he would insult her friend like that. Kira was a good woman and not someone she liked to see be demeaned like that. She now knew that she would have to get her revenge on Rokuro, somehow. Calling Kira a dog could not stand.

"Yeah, let's get some food," she said.

Hareth fumed silently as she walked with Kira to the mess hall. She was doing better in the rage department as of late, but witnessing her friends be directly insulted still got under her skin and got her all fired up. She had tried to be kinder for the sake of people like House and even Bria, but it was hard to deny the thousand-mile-wide vengeful streak that coursed through her. After all, it was in part where Hareth drew her power from. To get rid of that entirely would be to severely diminish her own power.

The mess was crowded, as it often was, smelling strongly of beef broth and soy. Hareth hurried up to the counter, heading straight for the dumpling soup. "Oh, Kira, they still have it!" she said. "I'll have one bowl of the dumpling soup." She didn't really look at the person serving it, instead focused on her prize.

Rokuro quickly put on his apron which Lazzis jokingly gave him as his he was basically her "housewife" so while he donned the pink frilly apron and quickly went to help cook the day's grub. After all, even terrorists got hungry and needed cooks to feed them. While Rokuro wasn't happy serving, especially all the snide comments that he got from all of them. He felt his cheeks flair up in anger, yet still he endured it, for he knew that Lazzis would be proud of him for sticking through it and helping the others out with it.

However he was so stuck in his own land of complete horror and embarresment that he didnt even notice that evil, maniacal girl and the dog woman approach. However he fufiled their orders silently, shoving their food across the table violently without saying a word however giving a mean and cruel glare instead.

"Is that all?" he asked harshly, clearly praying that these two would move on and leave him to himself but naturally, the universe hated Rokuro.

Kira could sense Hareth's glowing disapproval at the elfish kid's remark towards her, she had dealt with bigots in the past and for the most part ignored them. The simple fact that she had the physical capacity to put most of them into an empty soup can was all she needed to think about to make her anger go away, she usually ended up with the last laugh anyway. Still, it was refreshing to see someone else get mad on her behalf.

Kira's eyes immediately picked out a pink apron which was sharply distinct among the faded yellow and red that most people wore and immediately snickered once she found out who was the owner of such a bright and frilly garment.

"Is that.. is that who I think it is?" She rhetorically asked Hareth who was far too concerned about dumpling soup to hear her. It was obvious that the shrimps teenager wanted nothing to do with them but never the less managed to bring Kira out of her good mood as he slid her bowl of soup just a little too violently towards her, causing the metal bowl to careen off the side covering her pants in hot creamy soup.

She stared at the floor as the metal bowl spun around and eventually came to a stop and then slowly raised her gaze until she was staring directly at Rokuro. "No." She said coldly as she vaulted over the table in order to get closer to the twinkish teenager. "It's not." She added. Grabbing the back of the teenager's head and slamming it swiftly against her's, causing the bridge of his nose to collide with her forehead in one swift motion cracking her knuckles for emphasis.

His face fell as soon as he realised his error as he watched the bowl fall onto the floor with a thud. Rokuro was mesmerised as he watched the bowl go round and round on the floor until resting on the floor. Rokuro then realised why the dog thing was so upset. He realised that he had spilled everything down her trousers which was not a good sign. As soon as he heard her cold voice, he was shocked to see her jump over the table and grab him. Before he knew it, he had a full view of her forehead and his nose exploding on impact.

He stumbled back, cluthcing his nose in agony as the blood trickled downwards down his face. However that just made Rokuro angry so as soon as he saw her crack her knuckles, he gathered a bunch of force up and blasted her fully with it, sending her flying towards the opposing wall. However, he didnt rest, sprinting towards her and leaping to try and kick her in the stomach

Before Hareth really knew what was happening, she saw Kira launch over the table and headbutt Rokuro. The Jedi responded with some use of the Force, which made the fight already seem exceptionally unfair. Naturally, she wanted to help her friend, and so decided that she would go ahead and intervene.

Hareth reached out with the Force, moving to stop the Jedi in his tracks, and then, will the most amount of power she could muster, pushed him down, face rocketing towards the floor at lightning speed. It was a fairly dirty trick, but Hareth was a fairly dirty fighter.

Besides, he had made her mad.

Kira was initially stunned as she was swept off of her feet and blasted into a nearby wall. Of course the boy was some type of force user she thought to herself. All of the ones she'd met, Hareth included, they seemed to all have a screw loose. Kira had just enough time to react in order to out her guard up before Rokuro would attempt to kick her stomach, however, an invisible force pulled him away from her and onto the floor before he could land a hit. She glanced at Hareth and winked with a smile before turning back to the boy and regaining her serious composure.

At this point in the fight the grumbling and small talk of the crowd had turned to excited cheers and hollering as they watched Kira attempt to pick up the kid up and slam him into a shelf filled with numerous spices and kitchen utensils.

Rokuro was so close to booting Kira in her stupid doggy face! She deserved it, after all, she was picking the fight with him after all! He deserved to be a little pissed off. However, his luck was running out too soon as he noticed Hareth's force perking up and his body, falling down to the floor with a crash. His epic moment in front of all those people was crushed as soon as he went flying into the floor. His anger rose up but he was unable to do anything as he felt himself picked up and slammed into the shelf which caused him to yelp out slightly.

As he was held upright, his mind raced to formulate another plan but then he realised something which would be beautiful if it was pulled off well. He gathered his force as he gathered everyone in the cafeteria's utensils and flung them towards Kira and Hareth. He however also used his distraction to push himself up and kicking Kira in the face to try and break free.

Kira saw the silverware lift up into the air and dropped Rokuro in order to shield herself from the barrage of forks and knives. Luckily she managed to only get hit with a few spoons and a fork that collided with her metal leg which later fell to the ground, crumpled. If she could've done anything to shield Hareth she would have but she was too far away and lacked any special powers. When she recovered and took a fighting stance she was kicked in the jaw by Rokuro causing her to stumble back. She was slightly shocked by how fast he was able to kick her. Rokuro seemed to possess the flexibility of a female gymnast and appears to favor kicking over punching, Kira had to remember that. After she took a second to recover she moved to pin the shrimp against a wall with her hand so she could lay into his chest with her right fist. I'f Kira could knock the wind out of him, or at least mildly concise him so he had a hard time using the force, this fight would soon be over.

Hareth watched as a horde of utensils of the cafeteria came racing towards her. This was actually something genuinely dangerous. However, as easy as they were to pull towards her, they were just as easy to repel. She pushed out with the Force around her, saving herself the indignity of having to pull forks out of her butt in the future. She looked over at Rokuro, who had started all this, and realized that the little rat had the stones to try and do something potentially lethal just to win the fight.

Mercifully, Kira moved to restrain him. That was good because she had no idea how far the Jedi was going to take things if it kept going on too long. The entire mess hall had erupted into a furor, men and women shouting, some jeering for them to stop and others giving encouragements. All, at the very least, were paying attention to the fight.

Hareth moved over to the scuffle, more moving in the way to stop Rokuro from trying to flee again than going to actually join in on the beatdown. Should he try to move, she would simply slam and hold him back in position with a push from the Force. However, she had to be aware that using her powers like this was going to tire her out soon enough.

 

[Cheshire]

Rokuro tried so hard to get free, after being very happy initially with kicking Kira in the face. He finally felt like the fight was turning in his favour for once and that he was doing decently well. Heh, maybe all that training was going into practice, at least he thought it was going well from someone who was headbutted in the face. That was until Kira recovered quickly and Rokuro couldn't even react to being grabbed. Before he could even try to reverse the grab, he felt the impact of a thousand suns collapsing into his stomach as Kira's fist collided with his stomach. He felt the air stop as he felt breathless.

Rokuro tried to pull away to break free but he felt himself being smacked against the wall with the weight or Hareth's force push. He just felt himself getting rattled and slowly losing breath. The feeling of constant pain was shooting all over his body. He felt his legs buckle eventually so he just fell, face down to the floor, out of breath and in constant agony.

Kira was certain at this point that the fairy at her feet was not going to be a problem for her anymore. However ignorance does slow and she has to make sure that she was done with this arrogant child attempting to punk her for no reason. In almost one fluid motion Kira grabbed the defeated teenager and hoisted him up into the air before dropping him on the metal floor, suplexing him. Clamoring back to her feet afterwards and giving the crowd a victory flex before kneeling down to give Rokuro a friendly piece of advice. "Try me one more time and I'm going to be shipping you back to your husband in a soupcan." She said through gritted teeth as she wiped her engine grease stained hands off on his frilly pink apron before walking back to Hareth, her job complete. "Ok, now I'm ready to eat." She chuckled.
