Preperation

[.Artyr.]

Lord Artyr stood at the bottom of a rolling mountain range on the urban planet Alderaan.. Well, this section of the planet was not as urbanized as many other parts, but that was where the meeting had to take place. Artyr stood with his arms to the side, his sword was not there, but his lightsabers were hidden deep in his clothing.. The meeting would only result in force if the Mandalorians wanted to see honour maybe or if they were to back down on the offers.. Artyr, and one of his most promising Sith awaited Mandalore's arrival, and perhaps one of his best men.. The Jedi could never know of the meeting here, and thats why it had to be fast..

*Mandalore stood at the top of one of the main buildings on the planet of Alderan....Below him about 15 employees of whatever this buildings function was lay dead as Mandalorian special forces had gone though the building and killed those who could of got in the way and Mandalore wanted somewhere he could survey the sith's arrival from....Mandalore stood at the veyr top of the buiilding looking though a pair of eyesight inhanceing goggles towards a man standing alone just outside the city....He called out for General aryas loudly*

"General!..."

 

[jediduncan]

"I hear and obey, Mandalore."

Aryas calls to Mandalore in a much quiter, silenced voice. However, because of his com-link, it was an easy task for the conversation to continue.

He also knew Mandalore was watching him, somehow, and so he gives a brief hand signal to acknowledge him. It would confirm that it was Aryas speaking, as if Mandalore didn't know that already.

"What would you have me do now?"

 

[Matt]

"Your coming with me for this meeting with this.....sith"

*Mandalore put away the viewing equitment and began to walk towards the General in the building several floors below him....*

"Meet me on the bottum floor and we will leave at once"

 

[jediduncan]

"Sir, yes sir. Aryas out."

The General switches his com-link off, taking a few ponderous steps. He knew where Mandalore was once he mentioned the 'building'; they had this whole thing planned out from the beginning. Now all he had to do was get there.

Taking a longer stride, the General's speed accelerates to a much faster rate. Stimulants pour into his system, increasing his speed. Soon he is just a shiny metallic blur, running with all due haste. His boots pound against the ground underneath him, making a rumbling sounds broken only by the loud plods of his foot.

The few pedestrians wandering the street are not lucky. Nothing can break the General's charge, least of all some puny civilians. One he moves out of his way with a large sweep of his arm, sending the young man flying away. Another girl he simply tramples underfoot. At the end of the block, two older men were in some sort of dispute; Aryas ended the dispute by knocking them down like tenpins, injuring them both greatly.

After but a few moments, Aryas enters the building. His feet stop but his heart rate is still above regular. No one had dared follow him, and from the looks of it, the Mandalorian forces had done their job cleaning out this building. The General stands silently, patiently awaiting Mandalore to reveal himself.

Valaraukar stood next to Artyr in his usual grey robe and cloak. His lightsaber was hidden deep in his cloak, but he wouldn't need to get at it very quickly if a conflict were to occur. He gazed around to get a veiw of his surroundings. The area around was oddly beautiful. The city in the distance created a valley between the mountains. It oddly gave the scene an areana look.

 

[Matt]

"General"

*Mandalore walked though into the main concourse at the bottum of the building and nodded at the General....A mandalorian sargent landed a small transport outside the main buildings front doors almost as soon as aryas entered the building...Mandalore walked past his General and got onboard....and waited for his General to get onboard so they could be transported up to see this sith...and find out what he wanted..to the people outside nothing would look odd...But Mandalore knew it was smart to have a presence in the city incase of something happening*

 

[jediduncan]

The General boards the ship after Mandalore, and takes a seat in a comfortable looking chair nearby. He straps in his safety netting (Just in case), and looks towards his hallowed leader. Suddenly, a frown appears on the General's face; he checks his shirt and pockets as if looking for his wallet, then falters. He looks towards Mandalore once more, slowly this time.

"I didn't bring the keys to the ship or the coordinates to this meeting, you know. Please tell me the pilot has them both."

 

[Matt]

"Well yes....that woul of been rather embaressing if I had planned this pin point operation then forgot where this meeting was going to be....the pilot knows and..."

*Mandalore was pinned back in his seat slightly as the transport shot of though the city at great speed....After a few seconds it was already near to where the meeting was being held...The transport begun to slow it's engiens as it cleared the city and stopped in a small field near to where the sith was...Mandalore got out of his seat and told the Pilot to stay nearby...*

"Ayras....Keep your eyes open....I do not trust these sith"

 

[jediduncan]

"You may not be able to see them with my helmet on, Mandalore, but my eyes are always open."

And with that, Aryas takes the first step out of the transport. He spies two shrouded figures some distance down the road, and instinct tells him that they are his contacts. As if the randomly placed aura of evil didn't tell him that in the first place.

"All clear!"

The General shouts, then makes way for Mandalore to exit the ship. He had to make sure that they wouldn't be simply sniped in the head immediately after exiting the ship.

 

[Matt]

*Mandalore looked at Aryas slightly baffled for a moment by his approach to Mandalore tleling him to keep his eyes open...then got his wits about him....He stepped over the hill and saw two sith standing together in a tiny dip in the land....Mandalore held his hand high in the air to signel he was there his blaster's swayiing in the wind*

"Darth artyr I presume"

 

[.Artyr.]

Lord Artyr looked up to see the two Mandalorians just step over the rolling hills.. Nodding, Artyr signaled with his hand for them to come down..

"And Mandalore.."

There was now a little more time for the meeting.. After all, a special guest was to come after the meeting to talk with the Mandalorians privately.. A guest that Mandalore and his General wouldn't even think about harming.. But the meeting was about to begin, and as a sign of respect to the Mandalorians, Lord Artyr lowered his hood to show his face that very few got the satisfaction to see, even the few who saw him, wished they never had.. Waiting for the two to come down into the valley..

 

[Matt]

*Mandalore wwalked down his hands over his blaster pistols as he walked up to the two sith standing with about 4 feet of air between them....Mandalore looked at the sith's face and could see why he didn't lower his head often...Mandalore straightened up and spoke in a clear and calm tone*

"So what is this about? Why have I come all this way?"

 

[.Artyr.]

"You should know why. Why else would a Sith request a meeting with Mandalore? The Jedi are getting too strong after the battle on Coruscant, we want to.. make an arrangement, or a deal if thats better words.."

Lord Artyr store right at the Mandalorian leader.. Mandalore's next words were going to be obvious, but it was better to play it safe for now..

 

[Matt]

"Details sith...Do not talk in code...Just get to the point please"

*Mandalore looked right back at the sith looking into his eyes as he could vaguely see a reflection of his own in his tinted visor...Mandalore looked at the other sith for a moment as his hands rested on his blaster pistols...this wasn't a sign of intention...He just liked standing that way*

 

[.Artyr.]

"The point is, the Jedi and the Republic will eventually recover from the attack, and theres no doubt that the Jedi and Republic will have the numbers. We need to put them on the run before that happens, so we are asking for the Mandalorians to have a part in killing the Jedi.. We have the ways to finish them for good, but we need you Mandalore.. We need you to take a part in attacking the Jedi's base planet with us.. We will repay you in a way we can both agree to, such as helping one of your battles in the future.. Will Mandalore fight against the Jedi in this war now? Everyone knows the honour you could make in killing the Order for good.."

Lord Artyr held out his cold dead hand to shake Mandalore's if he was to agree to it.. There was no doubt that Mandalore would have more questions, but they could not be answered untill an agreement was made..

 

[jediduncan]

"Wait, Mandalore."

Aryas holds his own hand out, as if to stop Mandalore from shaking hands with the Sith.

"Hear me, Sith. We know why you need us. But why do we need you is the real question. You say you can help us kill the Jedi, but do we really need that help? Our people have been killing Jedi for generations; we know how to do it, with or without the Sith's help.

No, I don't think this deal is advantagous to the Mandalorians. At least not yet it isn't. And besides, why should we trust you anyway? The Sith are known for their treachery and backstabbing, and our last little alliance with you did not end well for us."

 

[.Artyr.]

"I know that you can fight the Jedi yourselfs, but can you kill them all in one battle by yourself? No, you can't, if you attacked them alone, or if the Sith attacked them alone right now they'd flee and alone we wouldn't have the numbers to hunt them down or stop them from leaving, nevermind the casualties of the pointless battle.. We can crush them greatly in one battle together, and me and my Sith can hunt down any runners right after with no problem.. If we end the Jedi there, do you think the Republic would be a tough problem to deal with? Help us deal with the Jedi, and we'll help you deal with the Republic if thats another option.."

Thinking, Lord Artyr remembered back just a little while ago, when even he was struck by surprise when he was attacked by Mandalorians in Dantooine, one of them even the General he was talking to right now.. The alliance the General was talking about, probably never was large if Artyr didn't even know it was over.. If the Mandalorians were to refuse, they'd have one more enemy to deal with.. Nevermind what would happen when Artyr's special guest was to arrive after the meeting..

 

[Carden Mannux]

*This meeting had been observed by the Dark Lord of the Sith himself, Darth Lettow. He despised Mandalorian arrogance, but the Mandalorians themselves were formidible warriors that had proved to be worthy allies in the past. He was perched in a tree, his cloak covering his face and his presence shrounded in mystery and darkness.*

"I will take it from here, Lord Artyr...."

*He leaped from his perch, flipping to the ground below. He landed, crouched down beside his young apprentice. He stood, his cloak now pulled away from his head. His blood-red eyes starred at the warriors as his sneered, enjoying the tension between the two great societies. He turned to their leader, nodding his head at their leader.*

"Mandalore the Resurrector.....while your General here may dare to impute our honor, I believe that we can make this arangment well worth your while should you decide to join us."

 

[Matt]

*Mandalore nods at his General and looks at this new sith*

"And what would that be sith?"
