Partnership of Inconvenience

Keltto watched the scene unfold before him. Kyber was so very nice. He left the EMP's untouched. The lid smashed into the ship's cockpit and it teetered for a moment. Kyber had some guts to gt back into his ship after Keltto had warned him of its destruction. Keltto ran after Kyber amd jumped atop his ship with aid from the Force. He took a very deep breath and hrew out one of his arms in the direction of the enemy ship. He slolwy closed his palm and the ship began to buckle. The exterior was imploding. Once Keltto knew the ship was damaged enough, he released his grip and it failed to stay up. It released lots of smoke and started spiraling downards into the abyss that was the lower leves of Coruscant. He looked down at the ship he stood upon and yelled at the man inside. "I suggest you let me in before I wreck your ship like I did the bounty hunters'."

Keltto grabbed his lightsaber as his breathing began to increase. He inginted it and thought of the amount of extertion that he was brining upon himself. But it mattered little now, he just needed to get into Kyber's ship. If he was denied access, his lightsaber would deny Kyber's leaving. This was turning into quite an eventful day.

As Kyber prepped the ship for launch and as the ship first began to lift, he felt a thud on the roof. Kyber was amazed. If this guy was arrogant and stupid enough to try and ride on the top of a freighter with no rooftop grips or access, he was stupid. Kyber felt that if his skip could take limited firepower from other fighters, then there was no way a lightsaber could pierce through. He was counting on that. He was hoping for that. He was also hoping that he could get out before it was too late.

As he began to lift off, he was a bit concerned that he didn't have anyone manning the guns. He couldn't fight back, he could only escape. But it seemed like that wouldn't matter in the end. As if by an invisible missile, the exterior of the shuttle began to buckle and compress. Was the Sith doing this? Was this the kind of power that Kyber could wield?! Kyber was almost starstruck as he watched this happen. For a brief second, he almost forgot that this guy had threatened to kill him multiple times. But that quickly vanished.

As the shuttle buckled and began to drop, Kyber reached full altitude and began to lift off. He heard the Sith scream at him from the exterior of the ship. The Sith had threatened to wreck his ship, but Kyber was calling his bluff. The Shuttle's armour was nothing compared to his Freighter, and as he saw earlier, this guy became fatigued after huge bursts of power. Kyber looked down at his console; the Hyperdrive was almost prepped.

"I gave you a chance and you refused. No Credits, No Transport."

Kyber began to accelerate through the city, hoping to get offworld as soon as possible. He needed to get rid of the Sith before they could recharge his power. Kyber performed a full aileron roll with his Freighter as he passed by a nearby building. With no grips, the Sith would be dumped off the ship, and with no time to recharge his force abilities, there was nothing more they would be able to do.

As they flew, Kyber could see another shuttle flying in the opposite direction, converging on the hangar they were just in. Kyber was hoping and begging that they would steal the other crate of EMP grenades before the Sith could get back. Served this guy right. Without any more hesitation, Kyber began to fly away, leaving the Albino Sith in his dust.

Keltto was not very pleased when the ship began to take off and he sunk his lightsaber into the ship's exterior. It wasn't as easy as he thought it would be, but it certainly wasn't saber proof. When the ship accelerated, his red blade sunk in further and was pushed back, creating a large gash in the top of the ship. Kyber certainly wasn't getting into space with this ship before some repairs. As they went even faster, the ship rolled over. Keltto put his hand where his lightsaber was originally before it moved and grabbed onto the ship's ceiling. He screamed out in pain when he felt the metal. It was extremely hot, as it had been touched by a lightsaber just moments ago. This, along with the fact that his lightsaber moved slowly through the metal, kept Keltto on the ship. He released the ship with his hand and was hanging on only by his lightsaber, which was slowly burning through the ship.

He allowed his burnt hand to fly freely, as it was too damaged to hold onto the lightsaber. Hopefully Kyber would stop, as he had a broken ceiling.

Kyber was impressed, he'd give the Sith that. He was diligent, and didn't lack for giving up. His sensors detected that the Sith was carving into the ship's exterior with his lightsaber. Kriff, he thought, he really needed to invest in decent shielding tech. The lightsaber was only cutting into the surface metal, which meant there was still a bit more to go through before it got to any machinery or electronics, but it didn't make the situation any less aggravating. The longer he waited, the further the blade would carve. The cuts weren't enough to compromise the ship's integrity entirely, and they were still fit for space travel, but jumping to hyberspace could be a problem without a fully repaired ship. The gash also created some other problems: it created a potential weak spot if he were to be attacked by an oncoming fighter.

Which was exactly the problem he now faced.

Two small fighters who appeared to be affiliated with the Imperial Military descended on the two. They began firing at the ship, and consequently at the Sith. Kyber was starting to become a bit nervous. It was a small wonder the authorities didn't come sooner, with all the explosions happening. He wondered what exactly he would be able to do to escape this situation. He knew he could outfly the fighters but that didn't remedy the problem of the Sith stowaway. Also, he didn't exactly have any co-pilots that he could rely on to man the guns. The best he could he could hope for would be to find an open area of space on the planet, man the guns, damage his own ship and lose the Sith... Yeah that wasn't happening. That was the pipe dream of a child.

Kyber decided to try something else that was crazy. The fighters thought they'd be chasing him, and the Sith probably thought they would be flying further and further. So Kyber decided to do the opposite. He disengaged the thrusters, stopping the freighter from accelerating. Kyber turned the ship around, using all of his strength to do so. Without the aid of the thrusters, turning the ship was incredibly difficult. In this second, leaving himself open to fire, he ended up taking a few hits from the fighters. While these blasts avoided the Sith, they did serve to worsen the damage that the Sith had already done.

When Kyber was fully turned around, he once again punched the engines. They started up right away, blasting him into the other direction. His belongings in the ship rattled around, having not been secured and ready enough for a total change in velocity. While Kyber would for sure need to find someone to repair his ship, he was relishing the fact that he might be rid of the Sith. The amount of force applied to the ship moving from one direction to another would be tremendous. If the Sith was hanging on by his lightsaber still, the resulting force would most likely break his arms if he decided to hang on. Kyber took a slight solace in the fact that this guy could maybe use his Force Abilities to break a fall from a starship. Any guilt Kyber might have held was remedied by that assumption.

It didn't take long for the fighters to get back on his trail. His Hyperdrive was ready and he wasn't about to remain planetside any longer, he had had it with Coruscant. He decided he had to try and jump to Hyperspace, even if it resulted in terrible damage to his ship. The body was in tact and only the roof had suffered damage; that wouldn't compromise the ship entirely. Wether the Sith liked it or not, Kyber was leaving the planet.

Keltto felt worried as soon as he heard the hum of other ships near him. Done and done. As they got close to a large skyscraper, the ship he stuck onto slowed and turned. As it did so, Keltto pulled his lightsaber out of the ship's exterior and stood on top of it. He used every last bit of energy he had to leap onto the top of the skyscraper. He landed a little less than okay. His entire body hurt and he had a singed left hand. Not the best day. Not to mention no grenades were obtained. He turned and saw all three ships blast off into high speed. He sighed and wished damage upon Kyber's body and ship. Not death, for he still had some faith in his joining the Sith.

Keltto now made a circle with his lightsaber in the roof of the building and fell through, landing on the floor below. It was an office of sorts and people were screaming. He began eradicating everyone on that floor so that no others would be directly informed of what happened.

The second he broke the atmosphere, Kyber punched the Hyperdrive. His ship jumped into Hyperspace, with part of the roof ripping right off the ship i the process. Kyber wasn't particularly worried. He had a mechanic on Nar Shaadaa who owed him a favour, so Kyber could probably get the roof replaced for free... at a discount at the least. Favours aside, people on Nar Shaadaa were ruthless.

Kyber took the jump to hyperspace to actually sit and breathe. That was definitely the worst drop he had ever experienced. But it was so... memorable to say the least. Kyber couldn't help but think about the heights his powers could reach. But he was also worried. That man was an absolute psychopath and it would be way too soon if they met again. That man had talked about the Sith and the Dark Side... if he was to use the Dark Side, was that how he would end up? Maybe not, but Kyber never knew.

Kyber couldn't help but ruminate on the "feeble Jedi" comment that the Sith had made... His Dad was powerful, but he still fell in battle. From what he was just told about the Dark Side, his father did not use it. And maybe that was a reason he fell in the first place...

It was certainly a lot to consider... Something Kyber would be ruminating on in the days and weeks to come...
