War Stories

[Kouta]

((CLOSED))

It is common belief that a jedi, or any force user for that matter, Are invincible; that they cannot be beaten, nor captured by any other than a stronger force user. This is far from the case. We are not invincible; we are as vulnerable as any other being possibly even more so considering our reliance on the force. Kidd Vegas was one testament to this. Being captured by a crime syndicate could happen to any of us, given the circumstances.

Kouta, after hearing the briefing of the mission given to him, began to think of the one he was being sent to rescue. Kouta knew Kidd, if knew is the appropriate term. He's seen him in the forests from time to time, Kidd would live on his own, and Kouta respected that; for he too, knows how to not only survive, but to thrive without the assistance of others. Kouta couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of him being shipped to Corusant. He would hate it there, just one city, spanning an entire planet. But to be captured? Kouta couldn’t imagine what they we’re putting the young jedi through. It would take some time, and a lot of research to infiltrate this base. After a few days, Kouta gathered as much information as he could from many sources, both willing and otherwise.

“Alright Kids” Kouta spoke to both Lando and Tahoma after having them meet him in a secluded room. “Our target is a fellow Jedi, he’s being held in a station not far from Alderaan by a relatively power crime syndicate. Now, obviously, if we just hop ship and flew straight there, we’d be painting a target on our back.” Kouta slid a data pad for the boys to see, containing some of the mission details. “There are, however, multiple substations that connect ships to the main base, more than likely for smuggling and trafficking. That’s where we hit.” Kouta turned to grab three packs, tossing two of them. “Our first goal is to get on that ship, silently, if anyone knows of our approach we’d be walking into a trap, or we won’t even make it to the base.” Kouta started to pull items out of the bag, “In this pack, you’ll find most everything you need, use this, as you won’t be using your lightsaber, not at least until we reach the main base.” Kouta repacked the supplies. “ Meet me tomorrow morning, we’ll depart then.”

Spoiler: Pack:

Rope
Thin carbon-fiber wire

Kidd's head lolled lazily to one side, mouth hanging open as a bit of drool began to spill out. His eyes blinking, it was difficult to focus. Why couldn't he focus?! Everything seemed to be in a cloud, as if a dream. Was he dreaming? Could it be? Wow did he feel tired. A yawn came on. Just as he did so... *BAP* A fist slammed into the side of his face, threatening to knock his jaw loose since he had just been yawning with such a wide mouth.

Yowch, that hurt!! A questioning look came over his face as he tried to rub at his jaw, but his arms wouldn't respond... or so it seemed. He tried again, and again... they weren't moving... much. It took him a bit, but the realization set in that he had been tied up securely. "Wha'... what's going on?" he inquired aloud, his mind still not grasping the severity of the situation. Why couldn't he focus?!

A voice from behind him spoke darkly. Was that Charlie Brown's teacher? The speech was all befuddled and slurred. Kidd tried to understand, furrowing his brow as he closed his eyes, head turning from side to side as he tried oh so very hard to process the words. What were they? What was he saying? The words came again, this time louder, perhaps angry? Frustrated at least. Someone wasn't happy. The whoosh of air as a fist came again at the back of his head. Stars... he was unconscious once again, drooling onto the floor from his seated position.

Lando and Tahoma looked thrue there pack to see what they were given.
"Cool" Lando said as he pulled out the blaster. "Dont got much practice with guns"
said Tahoma. "Ya but the force will help us with that" lando said with a grin. Both were more then ready for there mission. And with grait enthusiasm waited for tomorrow.
They were up with bells on the next morning. Waiting to meet there master in the same room as before.

 

[jacobburns]

They waited for there master patiently. He had yet to come to meet them.
They passed the time by reading in more about the mission. And checking out there items in the pack. It was kind of hard for Tahoma to except the fact that he needed to use guns but understood why. And trusts his masters wisdom.

 

[Kouta]

Kouta strode into the training room, "Our shuttle departs in roughly five minutes," Kouta was packed, wearing different clothing, it was a long blue coat, with a dark colored, light armor underneath, seeming to be made of... bone. His pack was also considerably smaller than the night before, "Let's go."

Kouta left, for the boys to follow, stepping aboard the small shuttle, it's takeoff only a few minutes later. "The base, while smaller, will be guarded, it would be optimal if we can not be seen, but if we are, do not use and apparent powers. No push, no lift, no fire. self augments are permitted unless it's obvious, so be wary with speed. we must hide our Jedi background at all costs, so I must ask for your lightsabers." Kouta claimed, "That was the reason for the knives and the blade within your pack.

 

[jacobburns]

Lando and Tahoma follow Kouta to they shuttle. They hand over there sabers to there master. The two boys then relax for a while and wait for further orders from Kouta.

Kidd was lost in a dream of sorts. He was back on Tython, running through a forested area with his mentor, just having a blast. In this dream, she liked him and he liked her. Well, even outside of his dream, he found himself somewhat attracted to her; and why not? She was pretty and had a -great- personality. Not to mention she was higher up on the food chain than he was, so perhaps a bit of that was that whole infatuation with power... maybe.

Using the force to help them leap and bound, Kidd had attempted to jump over an extremely large lake. It looked like he was going to make it!! Suddenly though, he began to choke... Was that water in his throat? He was drowning!! Coughing roughly, he couldn't seem to clear it out!! Looking down, he wasn't even in the water, but somehow, was choking!! His dream morphed to align with reality.

Now, instead of being multiple feet safely above the water of the lake, nearly ready to clear it thanks to the force; Kidd found himself falling straight down, directly into the murky depths. Every attempt and struggle he made to swim up to the top seemed to get him nowhere. Was he going to die?!?! His arms and legs moved in slow motion in relation to how frantic he was to get to the surface. NOTHING was seeming to work right.

Suddenly, he was able to breathe, though in his dream, he was still underwater. This was all so very confusing... Gasping and sputtering, his dream began to fade as reality seeped in from the edges, awaking him from his drug-induced slumber. Bright Lights!! Yelling!! Angry Voices!! A Fist!! Krath damnit... it'd be a freaking MIRACLE if he had all of his teeth left after... whatever this was that was going on, happening to him. He still could not figure it out. What was going on here?
