Escape

[MandoMania]

Echos helmet com lights up and off to the side in his hud he sees a picture of carvan Hoval\Ghez Skirata

"Carvan I need you to check up on the clan I am not in the position to do it right now. You may have take over I may not be coming back ever. So long friend."

And the coms cut out before Echo can say any thing.

ooc) I am just jumping in for a minute then i am gone most likely

 

[Fez]

Ilas has no clue as to what just occurred with his com. He thinks to himself, "What the hell was that? What the hell was he talking about gone for good, as the clan could be in my hands?" Ilas turns from the two men and turns to the window again.

"Dewaddik. Do you have a room I could use in private for a moment? I need to send a holocom to someone, not to be shady and you can hear it's just personal, my friend." Ilas then turns to recognizes the new man in the room as well, "I'll be just a moment if you don't mind waiting before you leave for that Jedi bounty. I'm sure you and "Dewie" are close friends and I don't mean to intrude."

 

[Dewaddik]

Dewaddik nodded to Ilas and pointed to his bedroom. "My Bedroom is over there, feel free to use it." He turned back to Karr. "What's this about a Jedi Bounty?"

"Hutt's just put one up and sent messages to us. Didn't you get it?" Dewaddik shook his head as he took a sip from his glass of wine. "Weird.. I would've thought we would have been one of the first to get it." The Wookie growled lowly. "Whats up, Dewie?"

"I feel that the Hutt's.. don't think we are capable anymore. Haven't you noticed the decrease of bounties were turning in?" Dewie sighed quietly as he went to get another refill. "I'm starting to run out of money, I may have to leave the planet soon."

"Leave the plane- No, Dewie. We'll take care of this Jedi Bounty then you can stay here." Karr could tell there was another piece of information he was missing.

"That guy is looking for the Jedi as well. And he isn't a Bounty Hunter."

 

[Fez]

Ilas directed himself to where the Wookie had pointed. He entered the room and shut the door. He put down a comlink, "Begin recording." Ilas commanded. "Ghez. Get back to me as soon as you can. I don't understand what the hell is going on. I don't get how you think a 20 year old is supposed to be head of the council people barely can handle that I'm the second in command. Get back to me now. Comlink dro...." Ilas ended the com. He headed toward the door and heard the two bounty hunters conversing. He listened a moment and then continued on.

The door opened and Ilas immediately stated, "Here. Take this six bounties, they're done and I haven't signed off on them. Take the pay. You need it. I will not take no for an answer. I'm just here for information. So Karr..." He stopped mid sentence. He removed his helmet. "If you don't mind me calling you by your name. I don't often introduce myself by my real name, but I am Ilas Skirata of the Clan Skirata Remnant. I'm here looking for a Jedi or a lead to one. So I need you tell me everything about this bounty you have." Ilas placed his helmet on the table and plopped onto the ground. "I'm all ears."

 

[Dewaddik]

Karr pulled out a hologram containing an image of the Jedi appeared. "This is the guy. Hutt's haven't said why they want him, but they are offering a big reward. Fifty Thousand Credits." He grinned as he put it back in his pocket. "If you don't mind me asking, why do you want him?" Karr went to go get a drink as well, then sat down beside Dewaddik. "Seems like he's pretty important." He had a sip of the wine.

Dewie's eyes widened as Ilas gave him the six bounties. "Thanks.." He put the bounties on his dining room table then returned to the couch. "I remember you said something about something you wanted to give me..?"

 

[Fez]

"HA! You remembered! Good thing you did 'cause I would've forgot and never remembered at all. Too many head injuries.. ha." Ilas got excited registering what Karr had said, but distracted to what Dewaddik brought up. Ilas pulled out his datapad, and instructed his ship to come into the air space near the front door of the house. "So since we had to leave Nar Shaddaa so quickly my ship is kinda still bayed there..." Ilas said while he laughed awkwardly. Quickly jumping back to his gabbing, "But none the less! I can answer your questions Karr. About the Jedi." Ilas got up and stood at the window and paced. "Where to start. Where.. to.. start." He repeated a few times. "Ah! Well when I was a child both my parents were murdered. Morbid, yes I know, but I have to face the truth of it. My father was a sabersmith for the Jedi temple on my planet, so when the Sith came and slaughtered my parents and spared me a Jedi came to my aid. As is now as it was then, I was blind. I used the force to see, but this mans force was so over powering that it blocked my sight from seeing clearly I only saw shapes and silhouettes. This man not a human, but maybe a Twi'lek. Not far from possible since all types of species resided at this temple, but still. He saved my life for without him and his Jedi Knights I nor the rest of my clan would be alive. I need to repay the debt I owe him. I need to express my thanks and I need to find out a few personal things about my father and mother. Given my father was a Skirata clansmen and my mother an outsider because she was Miraluka. That's all I can tell you." Ilas smiled and plopped to the ground and crossed his legs.

He then started up conversation about odds and ends being his curious self. The three men shared story after story, laughing at the funny times and ironic close calls and bowing their heads in honor to the fallen comrades they had. Time went by almost without notice, a ship could be heard outside and Ilas jumped up. He threw his helmet on and yelled behind him, "I'll be right back guys!" Outside the house Ilas' ship hovered above the buildings, he jetpacked up to the open hatch. He stepped in and rummaged around for a box and the old bowcaster he usually carried. "A good gift. I think."

An old bowcaster straight from Kashyyyk. It was true wood from the trees in the forests of the planet, with gold metal hardware and a Wyyyschokk thread drawstring to help fine tune the beams that the gun caster made. It had the name Katmum engraved into the side, it means Moon Seeker in the Wookies language.

Ilas stepped back in the house. Box in hand. He placed it down and removed his helmet. He picked the box back up and moved to Dewaddik. "Here yah go furball." The nicest way Ilas could address someone to give them a gift. "Open it up!"

 

[Dewaddik]

Dewaddik wondered what Ilas was getting, and confused when he brought the large package to him. "Big gift, huh..?" He opened the package and saw the Crossbow. "Whoa..." He took the crossbow out and examined it. "Wroshyr wood, gold.. Wow.. Thanks, Ilas." He grinned at him.

"Nice bow.. but onto other matters. We need to find this Jedi. We could get some cash for bringing him to the Hutts, then he can break himself out with his lightsaber, and you can talk to him."

 

[MandoMania]

While Dewddik was opening his gift Ials received Ghez's message with a video recording at the same time. "Ilas I made a trip to Nal hutta looking for a job only to stumble upon some mandos in need of help. Fighting death watch personnel. Now I am being chased down by the Cartel tying to escape. I have no Idea what will happen to me if they catch. They may trow me into a prison for a few days or life or even worse death. I will contact when and if I escape. If I do not contact you assume me dead until other wise.

 

[Fez]

Ilas watches with sense of pride in his mind, "Hey pal it's the least I could do." He replied with a big smirk. "I hope you really like it, it's old and valuable to the right people. Keep it safe." Ilas affirmed and bowed to the Wookie.

Turning his attention to Karr, but suddenly being interrupted by a incoming com transmission. Ilas learns about what's going on with Ghez. He pulls out his datapad and goes to start a comlink, but realizes he's in mix company and knows that clan business isn't to be the affairs of the outsiders. He opens up a text to auto-hologram transmission program. "Ghez. Get back to me as soon as possible, no matter what. If something bad is to happen I can't be there to share the same fate... the clan will need a leader and a council. If you're gone and then I go with you, that leaves nowhere near enough people to lead our people. Stay out of trouble. Ilas out." He read and reread what he had typed and sent it. He stashed his datapad away and turned himself back toward Karr.

"Karr. Listen. I know you want to complete the bounty and receive the payment on it, for I agree it is very high and a valuable asset, but I can't just turn him in if we find him. I don't even know if the man on that hologram was the same Jedi." Ilas replied lowering his head. "Also how can I just give someone who wants to make peace with the galaxy over to the Hutt Cartel? Please tell me why its just that easy for you?" Ilas now starting to answer more firmly, both men could see the rage that was forming in the once always peaceful and laughing individual. "No matter the outcome of who this Jedi is, the man I seek or another running for his life. I will do the right thing. And I will hope you follow." Ilas stood up and prepared his helmet as if he were leaving the two men to their thoughts.

 

[MandoMania]

Ghez as soon as he could sent this message back to Ilas.
"You know my hankering for getting in trouble. (chuckles) I should be fine me and the other mandos are tying to work together to escape. They don't seem to appreciate me to much tough, don't like my jokes to much. I will contact you in any way possible when my fate is known. In the mean time I need you to eliminate The Seeker One. Yes I know of the friend ship our clan built up with him. Us sheltering him and he giving us information. But we can not risk the exposure of the clan. If I am captured you know I won't say a word but they will most likely go searching for The Seeker One to get the info instead. It pains me to say it but you know what must be done Eliminate The Seeker One. Ghez out.... Take care my friend and fellow clan member."

The Video com transmission cuts out.

OOC: you know that mando helmets have built in com systems, voice and video right?

 

[Dewaddik]

Karr looked a bit angry as Ilas prepared to leave. He quietly muttered to Dewaddik. "Dewie, I don't care if this guy is your friend, we need to money. Let's go." Karr stood up and picked up his own helmet, putting it on his head. "C'mon Dewie." Karr went to leave the room, and the Wookie reluctantly followed.

When they got outside, Karr called for his hover-car and he took them to his ship. "Alright, get in. I'm taking us to the last known location of the Jedi." Dewaddik growled lowly as he climbed in. He didn't want to do this, but he knew he had too.

 

[Fez]

Before Ilas left he listened to the message Ghez left him. This time emotions ran high in the mans head, and he ignored it. He continued to walk out of the house and not a word of goodbye was spoke. He jetpacked up to the roof and had his ship reel in as close as possible. He got on, plugged in coordinates and sped off into the sky. "I guess its back to Nar Shaddaa for me. I have to finish up there." He popped on autopilot and lowered his head. Three tears hit the control panel, one... from his right eye and then two... and again three from his left. "All I have done in this world was try to be good. Try to find the right things for my friends and for my people. Where did it all get me? Where..... did it all get me?" The very broken man lifted his head moved to the open area behind him, he took off his eye covering and tossed it to the floor. He removed his daggers from their sheaths and began to train.

 

[Dewaddik]

After a few hours the ship landed outside an old temple on Tython. Dewaddik walked out, closely followed by Karr. "This must be it." He walked in, unholstering his assault rifle, his pistol ready to be pulled out.

Soon enough, they reached a large room, and something was in the middle, covered by a brown cloak. "Is that the Jedi..?"

 

[Fez]

Ilas was sttill en route back to Nar Shaddaa. He finished his training and was kneeling on the floor, he patched up the few cuts he sustained and went back to his pilot seat. Ilas left his autopilot enabled as he just sat there and thought to himself. Something short of worry came over his mind. "If those two find the Jedi's last known location, they won't last. The temple is an Academy focused on training padawan learners. At least that's what I heard. And if what I heard is true, the horrors of what those two bounty hunters fear will come to life and it will seem all to real to them." He slammed his fist against his thigh. "Damn it... Damn it. Damn it. Damn it!" Ilas scremed. "I need to go to Tython. I need to stop them, not only for my own cause but because I can't let them die." He took the coordinates out of the system and shut down autopilot. Whipping the ship around he piloted his course to Tython.

"I should've been a Jedi." The man laughed. He felt his old self coming back to him. "The things I do in my life are going to get me killed. I swear. I should just learn to stay with the clan and leave the affairs of others alone." He smirked as if he knew that would never happen.

 

[Dewaddik]

As Dewaddik approached the body, black mist started to swirl around him. He growled lowly as the mist slowly turned into figures.. other Wookies. It was his old tribe, all of them charging towards him. He growled in panic as he fired shots into the mist. Every time the bullet went through, more appeared. Just before they got to him they vanished. After a few more seconds a female Wookie formed in the mist, and he saw the Wookie he fought over her. He growled again, then called out to Karr. "What is this?! What's happening?!"

The same thing was happening to Karr, images of his old village being destroyed was in front of him, green shots being fired everywhere. His parents were trying to defend them, but then his Father was killed, then his Mother. He tried to block this out, but he couldn't. He started to scream.

 

[Fez]

Ilas threw on his ships free coms. "Ghez Skirata." Ilas stated firmly. The ships systems restated "Ghez Skirata, correct?" Ilas seemed frantic as to knowing that there were so many things going on at once for the young man. "Yeah..." He replied lowly. He saw the ships coms turn on, "Ghez I'm headed to the Deep Core, Tython systems. Just head to either the moon Ashla or Bogan, hold your position and I'll meet you there when I'm done with my business."

"Systems new contact. Bounty hunter Dewaddik, I need to relay a com." Again Ilas ordered firmly. He went through the same annoying process as before when he contacted Ghez. The systems readied for a link, "Hey Dewaddik, listen. I know you need that bounty, but its a very dangerous situation where you're going. Please back off until I can get to you. Ilas out." A few seconds went by and Ilas thought to send the message to Dewaddik's friend the bounty hunter Karr also and that he did. He had hoped if one didn't get the com the other would.

There may have been no traffic in deep space, but Ilas was on edge and speeding. He was a worried friend, he knew he needed to help.

"Ilas I have escaped and headed your way whats your coordinates?" Ghez said through coms to Ilas Skirata

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Right! I will meet you at Ashla." Ghez replied to Ilas. Ghez then cut his coms and programmed his hyperdrive for Ashla.
