The Felucian Occurrence

[Miranda]

Space:
Arcing above the orbit of some viridian globe, a world stained with paint-flecks of dark brown and blues, a prison freighter keels unsteadily. Its starboard is ablaze with ruin, as if some great talon had shredded and disemboweled its hull. The vessel spirals and cambers across the skyline, its catastrophic body plummeting full-force down the horizon, ink-black. And with one final breath the great metallic monstrosity bursts and explodes headlong into the glowing surface of the planet.

Groundside:
A woman runs. Pushes through thin husk and leaf walls, through the irregular rooms of hostile wilderness. Pulling distance between herself and the crash-site. There had been criminals and Jedi aboard the freighter. And her bounty. She needs to move swiftly now. The luminous plantlife crowds her.
This far into the jungle there are indigenous noises. The canopies rock. The woman is encumbered and sweated by the unseen sun. She is trying to follow a trail.

Just before dusk she found her place. Dim gelagrub paths led her to a hollow ringed by roots and stone-packed soil. Trees gave out. The earth was tramped down and stained with scorching and blood. The woman spread out her pack and blanket, a few datapads and clothes. She laid down something well-wrapped and heavy amongst luminescent mushrooms and leaves.
Felucia was cold. The woman built a fire, and with it so close to darkness it seemed to shut her out completely, but she stared into it as if she might see something emerge from its depths. Things came close. There were constant snaps of sound like the shrill of nightbirds or the breath and heaving of lurking predators. The woman was cautious. She had a blaster and rifle, and always one at least in her firm grip.
By firelight she saw the hours ebb away. Sleep took her with little resistance. Each time she woke she breathed as if surfacing from water. She was affected. Anger moved across her face.
"I will find you, you bastard...".

 

[Tarranium]

Jaiz woke up feeling his head and trying to remember what had happened.

Jaiz Jelko is a tall'ish Rodian Jedi Knight, he is dark green himself and his eyes are black.
His robes are what make him stand out, they have been camouflaged green'ishly.

As Jaiz stood up he grabbed his very long lightsaber from his belt and started walking forward inspecting the crash site.

(Why did we crash?) He thought (Did we get shot? I dont think we did but then again...)

Jaiz walked towards to find any survivors, he found a guard and as he saw him he yelled
''Are you guys ok?!''

The guard turned and nodded.

Jaiz kept on walking inspecting the crash site.

(We are transporting prisoners! Why would someone want to shoot us down?)

He walked around investigating who was dead and who alive, it seems that only two guards have survived and that theres 8 prisoners.

(Well its not like they are going to fight a Jedi)

Jaiz investigated the ships pieces that were everywere, he jumped on a small rock and started to look around and found what he was looking for.
The command bridge is completely destroyed theres no way to contact anyone and theres no cities in sitgh.

''Alright everyone listen up! Im going to say this only once! If anyone doesnt cooperate they die by my hand or the animals of this planet! Is this clear!?''

All the prisoners nodded. The prisoners all wore a blue jumpsuit and the guard wore black vest with long shirts under them, it lookses like theyre helmets are busted.

''Guards! bring all the remaining blasters here!''
The guards complied and not long enough they brought enough weapons to arm them all.

Jaiz walked to the guns to investigate the remaining ammunition and what are the best choices to give to the guards.

Jaiz quickly activated his freakisly long lightsaber witch was dark green and destroyed all the blasters exept for two modified heavy pistol blasters.
All of them gasped and started yelling and questoning Jaiz's decision.

Jaiz deactivated his lightsaber and gave the remaining guards the two blasters.

''Aw shut up all of you! I destroyed the guns so you wouldnt even think about rebelling you scum! I dont honestly care what happens to you but my orders are to bring you to our destination DEAD or ALIVE is that clear!?''

Jaiz inspected his surroundings for a while as the guards took all the ammo they could carry. One of the guards brought two thermal detonators to Jaiz and he thanked him for them.

''Alright listen up! Now we rest then we leave this site, it wont be long before the predators search this place and besides I dont want to be here if of 'those' find us and I believe that you probably dont want to be here either, AM I RIGHT!?''

All the prisoners agreed in total fear but the guards already trusted Jaiz he is a Jedi Knight after all.

 

[Miranda]

Several of the prisoners and bounty hunters had already taken off into the jungle well before any of the guards or Jedi regained consciousness. Those few unfortunate prisoners who had been knocked out cold were left to fend for themselves at the wreckage site. The ones who were left at the crash glanced up in confusion as a Rodian Jedi began spurting and dictating instructions to everyone. None of them were clear-headed enough, too battered and bruised, to protest against him. They would sit and wait, recover properly, and then make their break for it into the wilds.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Kamira Lashaad was one of the bounty hunters that had been aboard the Justicar's Hand prison ship only hours ago. She had secured her bounty, tracking him to Mon Calamari and seizing him there. However, en route to the Core Worlds the prison ship had been attacked by what appeared to be pirates that had followed them to the Perlemian Trade Route and assaulted them near Felucia. Countless passengers and prisoners alike had been knocked out cold upon impact, but unfortunately for her, her bounty had escaped into the phosphorescent jungle.
She had followed some blood trails into the thick of Felucia in pursuit of her escapee, but now the trail ended. "Damn it...you won't get away that easily you bastard worm".
Kamira spat and rested against a massive fungus for a few moments in deliberation of her next move. She knew little about this planet, but it didn't appear to be civilized when she had glanced out the ship windows before the crash. The jungle that enveloped her had guaranteed that civilization, if it existed, was more than a few clicks away. "You can only run for so long Basshta, and when you're tired and weak...I will drag your scrawny arse back to Coruscant."
She wondered how far back the crash-site was now. Whether the guards and Jedi and other prisoners had regained consciousness. The ship was completely destroyed, but she would have to find a way off this backwater planet, once she had secured her bounty. For once in her life she deemed that working alone would perhaps not be the best option for her current predicament. No one would be searching for bounty hunters out here, but they certainly would send rescue squads to recover authority guards, and the Jedi.

 

[Tarranium]

It was morning....

Jaiz was already awake, he had his arms crossed and looking at the wreckage.

(If we stay here and wait for rescue the animals or one of 'them' WILL find us but if we move east where the closest city if we might have a chance.)

(Damned! Only if 'he' would be here 'he' could easily find a path to the city.)

Jaiz turned around to see that everyone was awakening.

''Good your finally awake, now lets get moving before the animals smell our blood.''

And so they started theyre long journey to find the nearest sight of civizasion.

A couple hours later.......


Jaiz looked at the survivors, they were all tired from this terrain and he could easily see that.

''Alright we stop here! Nows a good chance to use the rest room and eat breakfest because we must keep mo-''
Jaiz was interrupted by a very distant roar.
This is what Jaiz was affraid of, this is why he had to move from the ship, this is why he wanted 'him' to be here.

Everyone could see Jaiz's reaction even thou noone knew what that whas they knew that Jaiz knew and this was something scary because Jaiz has never been this terrified in his life.

One of the guards aproaches him and asked what was that?
Jaiz looked at the guard and answered:

''That was a Rancor.''

 

[Zen]

She was found or was she? Her ship was hidden, and cloaked, while Alexis Nonomyth was camping, bloody hell it took a while, then she opened her eyes more clearly to look at the ship more, it was burning, from a far, I guess they did not find me. She thought. Her mind rushed like a maples apple, she looked around and then, sighed and spoke."Better get dressed, I have company on this so called planet."She said slowly. She got and dressed in her hutt armor, She placed the two lightsabers hidden from view, ammo, two hidden knives, one hang gun, a shotgun on the back, and a long blade on her back. She cleared out the fire. And made her way, she also, masked her alignment so other force user will not be able to sense her, and Made herself invisible. She made her way toward's the leaf's and trees, Day turned to Dusk, dusk turned to Night, Night turned to Dawn, Dawn turned to Morning, Morning turned to afternoon, it was clear it took her a day in a half to get from one point of the map to the next, without resting yet she did not tire off, she was perfectly at 100% of Stamina. She came to a halt at the crash site, Guards, Prisoners, and a Jedi or Gray, was standing there. He was unable to see her, or so for now, and she masked herself, so he should not be able to sense her at all period he could not unless he was a Master or Higher, even they might even struggle she spied closers, and payed attire to the enthronement. And was Sitenetl.

 

[Miranda]

A great sepulchral thunder arose from the earth. Kamira was hauled from her rest in colossal trembling booms. The jungle seemed alive. How long had she drifted into sleep? She was disoriented for a moment and then clutched her projectile rifle close to her chest. Something gargantuan was moving like a mountain through the depths of canopy. She backed into an array of ferns, splayed like exotic fans. The earth forever rumbling.
And with one bestial explosion, the shadow of some monstrous thing burst through into the hollow and was upon her...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hours later, Kamira found herself bolting through the jungle, back towards the crash-site. There was nowhere else to go now. Instinct had founded her path. The colossal beast was stampeding faster, raging and ravenous with her scent. She could make out the wafts of fuselage smoke from the prison ship crash not too far off now...she could make it. She had to make it. There was no way she was going to die like some pathetic animal on this forsaken hole of a planet. She pushed on despite her cuts and bruises, dust kicking up into her eyes as she lurched through the alien greenhouse.
Kamira heard voices now, and she emerged erupting with frenzy and terror through bracken, mushrooms, and undergrowth into the crash-site clearing. "RANCOR! Get your arses to cover, NOW!", she screamed with a fury that rattled her throat. She turned and aimed her rifle at something storming with catastrophe through the jungle, with several shots a diabolical roar echoed with impact from the wilderness. She realised it was a futile effort. They would need explosives, and a full arsenal of heavy weapons to take down this thing.
The enormous Rancor surged through the jungle and ripped trees and plants asunder, revealing a path directly to the crash-site.
Kamira's eyes widened in complete dread.

 

[Tarranium]

Jaiz and the others continued to walk to the direction of the settlement.

Jaiz looked around little bit, he turned around.

''Guards! Arm your selves!'' He yelled and took out his lightsaber unactivated.

They waited and waited.
Then suddenly some dog like creatures jumped out of the bushes, they were brown ugly and hungry.

There were nine of them and Jaiz knew that he had to protect the prisoners.

''Fire!'' And so the guards opened fire they managed to kill four of them before they charged.

Jaiz activated his lightsaber, the dark green friekishly long blade cut the heads of two of the beasts, then the rest attacked him and in an instant he activated his lightsabers other end revealing that this isnt a friekishly long singe blade but a friekishly long doublebladed dark green lightsaber.

The trhee beasts charced and he spinned spinning his lightsaber and the beasts were dead.

''Alright!'' He deactivated the lightsaber ''Lets keep moving! That rancor is already at the crash site and the rest of these beasts have to be close by so lets get going! We still have 2 miles to go!''

And so Jaiz started leading them onward.

(If that Rancor smells us were dead! We have to move, but these slowpokes are slowing us down! What the hell should I do!?)

 

[Zen]

Alexis Nonomyth followed the group, completely undetected for the movement, a lone a assassin stalking it's prey, she eyed, the group as it killed enemies for her, and so she followed away few feet, from the target but enough to keep view and follow, She continued, watching her surrendering, watching like a aimless dog, temptation nearly overtook her in revealing herself but didn't. so she simply followed and hopefully, it would pay to her likes.

 

[Guardian Medic]

Kent and his partner were flying on their scheduled route when they saw a rancor steamrolling through the jungle, hunting its prey. Although Kent couldn't see anything beneath the canopies, his computer screen showed a numerous variety of life forms, only a handful of human-like beings. He keyed his communicator on his headdset and began talking to his partner.

"Hey Stan," he waved over to his partner, "I'm showing some life forms down there that might need some assistance, let's go take down a rancor."

His partner just nodded, they were told to keep radio communications open in case of an emergency happened to the transport they were expecting. The cloud car made a one-hundred and eighty degree turn and headed back towards the rancor, which raised its head and an arm trying to swipe the oncoming airspeeder, it missed as the pair made another turn and fired its laser cannons at the beast, causing it to fall backwards. Finally, Kent turned on his intercom and tried to communicate with the survivors.

"Attention," Kent began as he was hovering over the dead rancor, "this is the local security forces and this is a restricted area, you are not allowed here. You need to head west towards the exit, this area is full of predatory animals and they will kill you. If you need medical attention shoot a red flare into the sky, if you need food or a quick shelter, shoot a green flare. If you have radio contact, our handle is Lokell Seven."

Kent took his hand off the speaker button and shook his head as he looked at his partner. In his experience, this was one of the worst places to be stranded. He hoped the survivors were alright, he had seen the downed craft after him and his partner passed the rancor, whoever survived that was lucky.

 

[Michael Scott]

just letting y'all know that Guardian Medic is out of commission forever. Since I'm the same person, it's basically my character and such. I have Rhea's approval.

 

[Miranda]

When the prison ship had crashed with devastating impact into the jungle, 98% of its supplies and cargo had been destroyed in explosive fiery eruptions. Communications had been destroyed, along with most military supplies - like flares, weapons, explosives, and the like. The survivors on the ground had been spread thin, since many of the prison ship's passengers had been killed on impact. Many had fled into the jungle and were days away by now. The rest had grouped up with the Jedi and soldiers and wandered a few clicks from the crash-site. As some peculiar vessel hovered above the now corpse of the menacing Rancor, many of the survivors looked on perplexed. No one on the ground had any way of communicating directly with the strange craft. The chances of a vessel arriving to their exact location, at that exact time, and killing the threat of the Rancor swiftly, were slim to none. It seemed some ludicrous miracle. What was a light vessel like that doing out here on the remote world of Felucia anyway? The prison ship's communications relay was destroyed, so they couldn't have tracked any distress signal. It might as well have been a mirage. Maybe they just got lucky. Nevertheless, the ground teams were still stranded, having absolutely no practical ability to relay messages to the hovering craft.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Kamira was shocked, to say the least, when some random ship came cruising along and took out the Rancor. "Must be my lucky day...", she shrugged, ignoring the rants coming from the craft, if they weren't going to land or offer any useful assistance in recovering the crash victims, she wasn't going to give them the time of day. Flares? Really? Idiot bishwags, could they not see the complete destruction of the prison ship? If they had communications, they wouldn't be stranded here in the first place. She slung her rifle over her shoulder and moved off to meet up with the mercenary and Jedi group. She figured for now, the best thing to do was to recoup, and later hunt her bounty down. The Rancor could have gotten to him by now, or an Acklay, or some other vicious predator. But chances were he was still alive and holed up in some secluded warren, figuring out his next move. Kamira would spring her trap before he had another chance to get away.
She caught up with the main group from the crash, noting that the Jedi had seized control of them. Trust the fracking Jedi to assume responsibility for all the survivors. She scoffed and approached them carefully, "well...that was a bit too close to the razor's edge for my liking. Who's in charge here?", she glanced around the group, knowing that one of the Jedi would probably step forward and claim ownership for the group.

 

[Tarranium]

Jaiz was suprised
(Another survivor? But how? We have been moving for days, well with these slowpokes its possible for a freaking slug to catch us)

Jaiz walked forward to meet the new comer.
''I'm Jaiz Jelko, a Jedi Knight and in charge here.''
Jaiz had intruduced himself but didnt quite trust that sniper of hers.

''Who are you and what are you doing here!?''

And at that very moment one of the prisoners started to scream in horror and pain.
Everyone turned around to see what the hell was it, and it was something big and dangerous pulling the poor guy apart.

In an instant Jaiz activated both sides of his lightsaber, as his long blades came to life.

''Everyone to me! That's an Acklay! They hunt in packs so there's more of them!''

 

[Miranda]

Kamira acknowledged the Jedi, a sly grin appearing only for a brief second on her face. She knew it. Jedi taking charge, as usual. "Who I am is of no concern, what I'm doing here is tracking down my bounty that wriggled away. I was on the Justicar's Hand, like you. Before it fracking crashed. Seems like a lot of the prisoners got away...what's your plan, Jedi?".
Her attention then was instantly pulled towards the Acklay who was spearing prisoners and guards left and right with its enormous spikey limbs; this planet was a nightmare. She regarded the Jedi as his saber was ignited and then ran swiftly to an eastern ridge to try and outflank the beast. She perched behind a boulder and shifted her projectile rifle into aim, she peered through its scope and shot at the beast's neck. It screeched in pain but kept moving forward into the group, impaling another prisoner.

 

[Tarranium]

Jaiz ran towards the beast cutting its other claw off.
The Acklay roared in pain and tried to bite his head off, but Jaiz cut its head off.

In a moment four more appeared attacking the prisoners, the guards tried to take the damned things down but were quickly overpowered.

Jaiz heard the death screams and rushed towards them, or he would have if two od these darn thins wouldnt be on his way.
Jaiz tried to stab them, not letting those deadly claws near him, he managed to hurt them but not killing them.

(Damn! the prisoners are dying! The guard have already died and... Wait where did she go?)

 

[Zen]

She sighed, and she might as well as show herself to help the load. She took out her hand, and revealed herself, and unmasking her Impalement as well making the Jedi Sense her now. And unveiling her cloak. Making her viable, she turned her attention towards the rat's and spoke. "Today you die, worms."She spoke, she lifted the enemy group, into the air simply, and begun to crush them, while manifesting the force, the Acklay were all crushed and ripped limb from limb, she turned her attention, towards the group."You need help getting away from the planet or not. I have been trailing you. Undetected. And seeing as the that ship won't help you can use my vessel, But it's hidden. Not even I know where it is, nor is it detectable."She said in a honest fake tone. She knew exactly where it was, but could not have told yet.

 

[Miranda]

Kamira was still cradled up on the eastern ledge, she watched as the Jedi assaulted and then executed the central beast with absolute precision. She watched the massacres through her rifle scope as more of the beasts burst through the jungle at the sentients below. She knew more would come, the Acklay being pack-hunters.
The slaughter that was below the ridge fuelled Kamira's mettle and fortitude, she fired several shots at their legs, incapacitating a few of them for a moment as she leapt from the ridge and bolted towards them, firing her blaster pistol rapidly at their necks.
"GET TO COVER!", she wailed at the remainder of the prisoners, they all dispersed behind rocks and jungle growths, fear crippling them. The lithe and stalwart bounty hunter then moved to the Jedi's location and stood at his back, the Acklay rearing up before them in anguish and blood-hatred, "I'll fire at their legs and distract them; you deliver the final blows...take their heads off Jedi!". Kamira never ceased blasting at their spindly needle claws, the beasts stumbled heavy-burdened towards them, their rage only escalating.
Then, completely unexpected, some figure emerged from the jungle and felled the colossal beasts in their wake. Kamira hazarded to guess it was the enigmatic Force that the sentient utilised to crush the Acklay. The monstrous things twisted and died in agony.
Kamira sighed with relief, "...seems like someone has our back, Jedi". She holstered her blaster and slung her rifle across her back again, inspecting the new arrival cautiously. "You couldn't have come at a better time...we do need transport, but our merchandise escaped into the jungle...I have no intention of leaving before I find them." If Kamira didn't return to Coruscant with her bounty, she would be shamed and lose repute with her clientele.

 

[Zen]

She eyed her, and spoke slowly."Very well I will help you. And we will begin lift off, once we find my ship in hiding. What do you need help searching, little one."The twenty seven looking female asked, before looking at the province and Jedi."Give me something to work on please, SO, I can scan the jungle for a better map view. We all should camp for the night by the way. It dangous to stay here only, With your guards down, One Unexperined Jedi, And one person that knows how to shot, will die. If another pack comes. If your lot in hiding knows how to shot, I strongy advice grab a weapon. Other then that we should camp, and by morning we will search for your supplies. I am Melisa. And you are?"Alexis said calmly. She was right, if she had not shown up and more packs came, they would have died. She sighed and waited for an answer slowly.

 

[Tarranium]

''You are not Jedi so what are you!?'' Jaiz asked the rescuer
''You have used techniques witch are forbidden by the Jedi so who are you Melissa?''

Jaiz deactivated only the back side of his lightsaber, keeping his guard not trusting this force user.

''And further more I am Jaiz Jelko, a Jedi Knight.''
A distant roar was heard by everyone, it seemed to be a rancor.

Jaiz looked in that direction then checked the survivors, the two females and four prisoners.
''You know what forget it! We can talk later I dont want to be here if anymore of these Acklays decide to appear or an another Rancor.''
And so he shut his lightsaber and ran to get the guns the guards had.

 

[Miranda]

Kamira silently scorned the new arrival...Melisa? Curious enough name. "Little one? Let's get one thing straight here...don't patronise me. I've been in worse situations than this in my lifetime, and I have no intention of dying on this cess-hole of a planet." The woman had riled her up with her asinine and blatantly stupid remarks. If this Melisa wanted to play 'saviour' to them, that was one thing. But Kamira wasn't going to take orders from anyone. She was a free agent, and an exceptional bounty hunter. Before she had returned to the main group she had been out in the nightmare jungle for two days. And survived. Long before this woman had decided to show up. "Secondly, the prison ship was completely destroyed. Or did you fail to notice that while you were tracking us? Along with all supplies and comm. Gone. Prisoners don't carry weapons where we're from, and I'm not in the habit of giving them any. That will get us killed." Kamira was in no mood to be told what to do, she hated working with people at the best of times. And this was definitely not the most satisfying of circumstances. "We'll make camp a few clicks from here, it won't be safe with these Acklay corpses around...we'll have to burn them, unless we want bigger and more hostile creatures trailing the scent of blood, and in turn coming after us.". She wasn't stupid. She had spent years on remote worlds, hunting down targets and surviving in the wilderness. It was all part of the bounty hunting profession. "If you want to help, find your ship and relay a distress signal...unless you have a large freighter, we're going to have to leave the prisoners. And that is not happening." Kamira had worked too hard to end up getting bugger all credits out of this job. With the other bounty hunters dead, and others long gone into the jungle, she would be able to make a fortune with the remaining prisoners. There was however the matter of Basshta, the slimey Zabrak that had eluded her after the crash. Her main bounty.
"Once I get my bearings I'm heading to Kway Teow, the capital city. I have a feeling my merchandise made its way in that direction. What you two do, I couldn't care less", she indicated to both the woman and the Jedi now, and then began gathering wood and tinder to set the Acklay corpses on fire.

 

[Tarranium]

''Dont you yell at me bounty hunter!'' Jaiz was furios from the womans comments.
''Your kind is one reason why the galaxy is like this, corrupted!''

Jaiz looked at the nearby tree and walked to it, he activated his lightsaber and cut the tree.
The wierd tree fell down hard, it wasnt big but it made a hell one a bang.
Jaiz took his lightsaber and cut the tree in smaller pieces.

Jaiz turned around to see everyones confused faces.

''What?! We need to burn them before more predators find us, animals are affraiid of fire you know.''
