Ask Lothal An unplanned night of trouble

[Rakiss Vano]

The moment Vri said to make a run for it, he grinned shooting up from his seat to see her grab a few bottles for the road. Slapping his helmet on his head while they ran off, pausing for a moment seeing the bar tender notice the theft he quickly grabbed something off his belt and chucked it into his hands. “Here catch!” He said to him, the bar tender catching it not realizing it was a smoke grenade. The next moment going off with a black cloud that blinded him and made the tender cough. People now focused on the smoke it seemed they were free. Next seeing the bouncer of the club try to cut them off, Vri being sly and nimble slipped right past, not giving the bouncer a moment to react then Rakiss came through with a hefty right hook at his face as he ran out knocking the bouncer flat on his face. Rakiss laughed as he ran right behind Vri into the open streets. Looking like a pair of teenagers as they went, Rakiss smiling under the helmet told Vri. “Looks like we gave them a show, I’m right behind you just lead the way!” the two chuckling as they went with their treasure from the club. Now looked for a spot to cherish the spoils of their little get away. Rakiss felt like a kid again. As well as hoping Vri was enjoying this just as much as he was as they ran through every street, back ally, and parking lot. The fun was high and the city now their playground.

Vri's escape was only paused by the sound of a gas grenade going off, and as she turned back to see the bartender choking on chaff she burst into cackling laughter. She'd have to remember that trick the next time she knocked over a bar, just toss a grenade at the bartender and watch the chaos ensue. Granted she only carried the lethal kinds of bombs, but in her mind that only added up to more fun. Speaking of fun, the second she cleared the bartender she made a break for her swoop cycle, parked just around the corner where people were less likely to notice it was packing military-grade weapons and a turbine de-limiter.

"Hop on, Mando!" She grabbed her helmet from the side bag and slapped it on over her regal mohawk. The second Rakiss had taken his seat, she gunned the supercharged engine and tore off down the street with her bike roaring like thunder.

After then grand escape of the club, they made off around a corner where Vri’s swoop cycle was located. Rakiss was impressed, the vehicle did have an appealing look to it. It looked as if nothing could come close to catching it, when Vri hopped on and yelled for Rakiss to follow onto it. He was all to eager to do so, hearing the engine roar out and wanting to speed off, Rakiss hopped on the seat right behind the little dare devil he had made his get away with smiling big under his helmet he exclaims “Your just full of surprises ain’t you!, I love it!” Then in the next moment they sped off fast and in a hurry tearing up the streets like they owned the whole damn city. Rakiss took in all the lights and signs around him as they weaves through the traffic around them, then he looked in-front seeing Vri steering making it all look so easy. He hadn’t had mindless fun like this since he was a kid, and how he missed it! Moments later he started to talk to Vri again “Looks like that went just off without a hitch haha! Where to now miss dare devil!” He was ready for anything that came next, Vri had been a bold one so far and he admired it, at this rate due to the fun and the booze he’d follow anywhere all night long no problem, now he just waited to see what she had planned to do or go.

Now, in her slightly inebriated state, Vri had to focus extra hard just to keep her speeder on course as she rocketed down the main road, just a few feet above the oncoming traffic. So far, only the speed of her bike and her tolerance for alcohol kept them from crashing in any number of unpleasant ways, not that Vri noticed. She was too busy shouting her head off in delight as the lights of the city whistled by at incredible speed.

"If you thought that was surprising, I gotta say I feel sorry for you!" This was a fairly standard outing for her, she'd been banned from every non-gang affiliated bar on her level back home. "As for where we go now, I say we-"

The blare of a siren behind them told Vri that the 'joy' part of their joyride was over, as she looked back to see a local security cruiser pulling closer.

"Pull over!" The speaker barked as the boxy speeder began to close the distance, being slightly faster than even Vri's supped-up bike.

"I say we get the kriff out of here!" With that, she slowed down just enough not to crash horrifically as she banked down a side alley, knowing that she'd they'd have to evade or outfight the city security to escape.

[Rakiss Vano]

Trying to hear Vri over the noise around him, trying to make out the words they were drowned out by sirens, and the announcement coming from patrol cruisers telling them to pull over. “How steady can you keep this thing!?” he shakes his head and doesn’t wait for a response. “Never mind I’ll take care of it!” He said, he braved in her shoulder a moment as he turned himself around to face backwards. Then unholsters his two heavy blaster pistols off his hip. Now starting to aim he starts to put holes in the patrols cruisers. “Get close and I’ll burn you alive!” Rakiss never lied about fire it was his sick pleasure that got him every time. One of the cruisers got close beside them and yelled again to pull over. “Should have listened” He said to himself as he grabbed the poor souls and stuck his arm into the cruiser. Engaging his arm bracer letting a wave of fire flow through the vehicle, he let go and the cruiser started to wobble and crash into a nearby building leaving only one left starting to gain. Rakiss now loading another capsule to reload his flame thrower yells to Vri. “Want to take this one? A lady should have her turn, or ya want me to finish the job?!” He then holds out a thermal detonator, it would magnetize to the cruiser and send it sky high he waited to see if she would take it and him start to drive until she finished or just let him do the dirty work.

Well, they wouldn't be coming back to Lothal anytime soon. Not that she cared, this entire planet was a dung heap and everybody living on it could get crushed under a Hutt, and if it was in her power she would have lit the entire city on fire. Watching the security cruiser catch fire and crash would have to do, and she certainly gave a hearty scream when she watched the cruiser slam into a shop.

"Just keep 'em off us! And tell me where you're parked!" Vri was completely fine watching Rakiss rip these cruisers giant, gaping new holes, as long as they weren't the ones going down in flames. Her main thought now was getting out of here before the locals brought some real firepower to bear, so they needed to reach their ships and take off.

While Rakiss prepared to take out the second cruiser, the second officer inside would open fire on them since lethal force was now, absolutely authorized. You can't take out a security cab with a flamethrower and not expect some consequences.

Rakiss spoke to Vri about his ship, ”Keep going straight at the next intersection take a right. It’s about 100 meters down that road and the only ship you can’t miss it! I’ll make this next one quick.” He then takes the thermal detonator in his right hand and unholsters a blaster in his left hand. The officers now firing at the two, Rakiss steady his deadly accurate sights to the cruiser. If you had to ask anything about Rakiss that stood out it was his amazing marksmanship. He aims wanting to shoot near the cruiser enough to make them dodge the opposite way, he starts to do so as planned, and sees that it worked. They now forced one way could not avoid what came next, he then threw the charge that then flying through the air magnetized moments later to the hood of the cruiser. He holsters his blaster again and starts to tap on a small screen on his wrist bracer. He pauses for a moment to see the charge was set and saw the men inside start to try and return fire one again. He looks with a blank death filled stare in his eyes and says “Boom” the next moment at the press of a button the cruiser goes up from the explosion and slows to a holt unable to continue due to the carnage. Rakiss now turns back around to face forward as Vri drove. “problems solved” He said to her in a low voice, they would be coming to his ship soon, and with any luck his clan would never hear about what took place but he would worry about that later. He then broke his silence again to ask “If you need a way to your ship I can get you there on mine, I could load your bike if needed it has the space, since no ones gotten a good look at me near my ship it’s not going to be looked for. Could help you make it easer it’s up to you though.” He said to heel knowing not how far her ship was, she made herself an ally and his kind always took care of them, he sighs slightly, and enjoys the rest of the ride. Being shown a good time by a woman was rare for Rakiss especially when it let him get into trouble. He felt this is exactly what he needed and wouldn’t admit that to anyone except Vri maybe, so he sat there behind Vri and waited to see what came next.

 

[Vri Nama]

Vri swung the bike hard around the intersection corner, narrowly dodging a volley of blaster bolts in the process, as she followed Rakiss' instructions down the street and nearly into oncoming traffic. Only her sharp reflexes and a lot of cursing kept them from colliding with a hovertruck, coming so close that they could have reached out and high-fived the driver if they so desired.

"KRIFF!!" Vri was certainly shaken by the sudden change in direction, but now that she could see the ship ahead of them she knew they were in the clear. Or at least, they would be if Rakiss could shake this last cab before anyone or anything else closed in on them.

They were barely halfway down the path to the landing zone when she heard a massive explosion from behind them, followed by a thunderous crash. Vri looked back over her shoulder to see that Rakiss had taken out the second security speeder, and caused a multi-vehicle collision on the road just below them in the process. It certainly was a spectacular bit of carnage, but Vri also knew that security would be out for blood for their two downed craft, not to mention the major pileup they just caused.

"Sounds like a plan, I landed on the fringes of town back by the bar!" Vri didn't hesitate, she rode her speederbike all the way up to Rakiss' spacecraft, narrowly colliding with the landing gear as she slid into place next to the vehicle. "Get the ship open so we can bounce!"

[Rakiss Vano]

As they approach his ship Rakiss hops off the speeder, he then activated the ramp to come down for them as he makes his way onto the ship. Now looking back to Vri he says “Come on load it up, and we can get out of here.” he then rushes to the cockpit knowing Vri won’t be far behind as he preps to take off, as he starts to fire up the ships thrusters he wonders just how long he’s gonna have to stay away from this planet. Now the ship starting to rise so they could get on their way Rakiss yells back “Hey you good back there?!”

 

[Vri Nama]

Once the ramp was done, Vri rode her bike straight into the cargo hold, parking the bike haphazardly as Rakiss lifted the ship off the ground.

"I'll be better once I'm off this rock!" Vri shouted back as she tried to keep her bearings while the ship lifted off the ground. They would have maybe a few minutes before more officers arrived, and only a little time after that before local security decided to send something more substantial their way, so Vri was interested in getting back to her ship and taking off before they got strafed by a Headhunter starfighter.

[Rakiss Vano]

Rakiss once ready had his ship take off, this ship served him well and never had any problems getting away from unwanted attention in it. A few moments later they would start to be close to where Vri ship was. “Coming up where you told me to go, It looks pretty clear so getting close shouldn’t be an issue I’ll get you right by your ship and cover you if someone wants to make a move on it. So be ready this is gonna be quick.” Rakiss said wanting to get her on her ship as soon as possible, now closing in on her ship he begins to open his landing ramp early to make less hassle for the both of them. Hearing a strange noise he looks to the corner of the cockpit to see a small droid. It was his brothers BD-3 unit small and used for missions of delicate nature so to say. “The hell?! BD-3 what are you doing here, your supposed to be back at the clan world with Laren! That moron does he not understand what’s backed up on your memory core!... never mind I’ll deal with you and him later....Just keep this ship stable as we descend or I’ll scrap you.” The droid chirps happily and does as told as Rakiss exits the cockpit and goes to assist Vri as needed as she is about to leave his ship for her own. The mandalorian though usually not caring this was different so would treat her all the same as one of his clan. Now coming near her he saw the ramp now fully open. “Ok let’s get you on your way Vri, it’s been fun but ill have to see about who really won our little contest later, contact me once you safely away.“ The moment he said this a blaster bolt flew past his head comming from the exposed area due to the ramp. He doesn’t flinch more looks to the direction of the fired shots now coming. “Looks like there’s more of them.” He says as he unholsters his right hand blaster and returns fire to the now officers below them. Hitting a few of them and suppressing the others. “Looks like our friends are back, let’s get you out of here Vri.” Now talking into his communicator to the droid in the cockpit, “BD-3 get the turrets to fire on those coming in range give our friend here a clear path to her ship.” beeps of response come through the com and the blaster turrets of the ship open up. Rakiss now holsters and stares, watching the men below try to flee, he then gestures with his hand to Vri showing her window is opening to get clear to her ship.

En route to her ship, Vri took the opportunity to leave something behind so Rakiss could get back in touch with her later, namely two of the bottles they'd stolen from the bar with her contact information hastily scrawled on the label. She placed the bottles in the galley where, hopefully, they wouldn't get smashed in some fancy maneuver or during the escape. With that done, she pulled out her comlink and radioed ahead to her personal droid.

"Ball-O, get the ship prepped for takeoff, I want the ramp open and the hyperdrive programmed for a fast exit." The droid chirped back over the comlink just as Rakiss chimed in that they would have to be quick.

"Don't you worry about me, once the ramp is down I'll be out of here real quick." She wasn't kidding, as the landing ramp to Rakiss' ship had barely touched the ground before she revved her engine and bolted down across the tarmac and into the waiting cargo hold of her own ship, nearly crashing once she got inside since she was moving so fast.

"Ball-O! Take off already you stupid tub!" Vri probably should have been more specific with her request, since the cargo doors immediately slammed shut and the ship began to lurch upwards in takeoff. That was one problem with a fresh-off the line droid, it took things far too literally for her taste.

@Alejandrø77

 

[Rakiss Vano]

Seeing her take off and enter her ship was, interesting to say the least, a bit rocky even more so the take off but he figures she’d be ok. He coms to BD-3 and tells him to start to take off for to get off the world, once out to a safe range he sits down and sighs to himself. “I’m gonna have a hangover in the morning, either way it should be alright” He then takes off his helmet and runs a hand through his hair, and then turns his head to see Vri’s parting gift of the bottles, he’d keep them as well as take the contact info off them to get back in touch. As far as he was concerned he owed her wether he liked it or not and as he was getting off world he walked back to the cockpit and nudged the small droid out of the way. So he could sit down undisturbed, holding a bottle in his hand he smirked slightly then back to his blank expression. And set it down soon the jump to hyperdrive would commence and he would be back to his home. He then looks to BD-3 and speaks “You won’t speak a word of this..... although I caused a bit of a mess Laren can’t know. If he does I’ll scrap you....Vri would say enough if she met him.” He said in his blank looking face in a low tone, knowing he would message Vri knowing that he would owe her for her silence for not speaking of this day to his brother. So he would have to see what the future would hold but he was a person who didn’t mind waiting.

It took a second for the guards to register that a switch had tkane place, but by that time Vri was already airborne and making a b-line for low orbit to jump as far from this planet as she could get. This would probably make the local Holonet, if not get plastered all over the Rim, and she'd have to avoid the system for a while until the heat died down.

Good, so far the only two parts of the planet she enjoyed were brutalizing the locals and making escapes with her new Mandalorian associate. She didn't have his contact information, but she'd dropped him a line to reach her and she expected the man would send her a message at some point. You didn't rob a nightclub and blow up two security cruisers with someone and not call them back later, that was just proper etiquette.

In the meantime, however, Vri was going to sleep off her eventual hangover.
