Divergence in Destiny (Star Wars RP)

Why'nn frantically pocketed the disks. Even though she knew her mother would feel betrayed if she did not give up but find them later, the girl would do her best to keep them a secret. At least she had her door back at this point. Her cheeks burned at the look and mention of Connor, her skin almost the red-tinge it should be with her lineage. The shrinking of his presence bothered her, but she said nothing of it. "Connor. You know his name." She almost pouted but it turned into a smile. "I guess I crawl back through now..." Her words were hesitant. She didn't want to leave.
 
He chuckled a little at her reaction and blush. "Yes, I know it's Connor. But he's more to you then just a friend." There was no mistaking his presence. He brushed her hair back as her skin stayed red. 'You look so much like your mother.' He thought. He smiled and nodded. "That would be wise, before he brings the whole cave down." Before she turned back to the wall he kissed her on the forehead, just as he had done when she was little.


---------------


Outside the cave Chuka had been busy orienting all the speeders into a sort of zigzag, slalom configuration, and planting a thermal detonator inside each one and linked it to a central switch. The warrior then took up an over watch position just above the cave entrance, out of direct lines of sight and return fire, but with great fields of fire for himself. He sat and waited for the others to emerge.

Zerek realized he ran from a grenade and stumbled into a minefield. To get out, he would need to get past 3 Mandos, 1-2 Sith, an assassination droid, and a Jedi Master. These were not the best odds, and he was both scared and excited. Granted, when he wanted a challenge, he thought this was a bit much, but it was quite the exciting challenge. He silently sent his blaster pistols to stun while he thought of a plan.


'Alright, two Mandos outside by the speeders, one in here, Sith both here and behind the ice wall, assassination droid, and Jedi Master. Hm... I can probably knock out the Sith with stun shots, the armor will block it on the Mandos, but the one here will need time to get a gun out. By the time he does, I should be out if sight. The Droid is more problematic. I'll need a Saber up to deflect any shots he fires. Once I get out, I'll need to hijack a speeder, maybe blow the rest up so they can't quickly give chase. Then I'll just get back on the ship and sell that busted crystal. If Master Ma'at gets involved I'm fucked. Assuming lover boy doesn't cause a cave in first.'
 
Why'nn wiped the rest of her tears away, then nodded. His kiss made her smile but she was still reluctant as she turned and opened her comm link. "I have it. I'm coming back. Neither of you damaged the structural integrity of the wall, right?" She chanced another look over her shoulder. "I love you," she whispered. With that, she turned back and jumped, catching the bottom of the hole. As she pulled herself up, she heard the ice moan. Placing the Holocron safely in another pocket, she set to crawling through. However, she moved a little faster and began to scramble as she felt the structure buckle beneath her. At the last moment, as the wall was about to collapse with her in it, she felt her father's Force energy push her through. She curled, using the energy to roll to a safe stop as the wall caved in right in front of Connor. Why'nn glared a little, getting to her feet and dusting herself off. "We have what we came for. Let's go."

Ini Ma'at, after being silent the entire time, finally spoke as Why'nn left the cave. He turned to her and smiled as he did so.


"It is good to see you unharmed child. I trust you have found what it is you came to this planet for? If that is the case, then let us depart. This cave is collapsing, and I understand that your metal friend wishes to present me to your mistress."


Ini then started heading for the cave exit and a brisk walked, paying little attention to the tense warriors surrounding him. He stopped at Jace's side and put his hand on the mercenary's shoulder.


"Oh, and a word about your friend outside. I believe his name was... Chuka? Yes, right. Please tell him to remove the detonators he has doubtlessly placed on our speeders. Trust me, I've been around the galaxy a time or two, and I've seen that trick before."


With that, he continued his stride out of the cave.

HK-50-01 was overly joyous of himself for using his Protocol Droid skills to make a peaceable agreement between the parties. He also was happy to hear the names of the Warriors - the one with the two blasters was Rylos , and the one with the DarkSaber was Jace The Champion. But who is the Client , exactly? And what mission are they speaking of? He wasn't in the least disturbed that they would undertake missions they didn't know any goals for - HK-50 himself had done this more times than he could count to in a standard hour. What was more exciting was that this Jace was ordering the Warriors to stand down , and at this his eyes went to Orange instead of the pink-rimmed yellow.


Semi-Interestingly , the third Warrior was named Chuka. He wasn't sure why Jace wanted to remain with them - lose them why? But the question was dropped to a lower pylon of his mind when Jace said that HK-50 specifically had convinced him to seek a Peaceable solution - as the Arkanian had asked of him. He again didn't understand what would matter if he 'lost them' , but was happy to be able to host a Warrior of this caliber - The DarkSaber wasn't a Party Favor to be passed around , certainly not to warriors that weren't the heir apparent to Mandalore.


Just as he was about to conclude negotiations and tell a war story or two , Connor did something unbeleivably stupid - jammed his Lightsaber straight into the ice wall that supported the entire cave. He moaned aloud in terror - not for himself , he would survive - but for Why'nn. For a moment he wasn't sure what to do , not sure to kill Connor or to try to run into the other side of the cave and try to save Why'nn as much as he could. OH , YOU HAVE TO! YOU'LL KILL WHY'NN I'LL KILL YOU FIRST THAT WONT HAPPEN NEVER HAPPEN BASTARD SITH YOU BETRAYED HER YOU'RE A TRAITOR!





As he reached out to choke-grab Connor and commence Assassination Protocols , Why'nn's voice came over his Comlink - which should've reassured him. But it didn't - the cave was falling down as they spoke. It did , however , succeed in pausing him for enough time that Why'nn came out from the other side , asking for them to leave. Barely paying attention to the Jedi Master's words , he ran over and scooped Why'nn up , overly joyous she hadn't been crushed - but they were about to be. A chunk of his impacted his head and before he knew it he was slightly panicking. Not managing a real reply , all he could state was "ANNOUNCEMENT : CAVE-IN! RUN RUN RUN NOW!" Before darting off at top speeds for the exit with the one person he cared about the Survival of.
 
Connor pulled the lightsaber from the wall and turned around, noticing that HK-50-01 looked as though he was about to grab his throat. Connor knew that Why'nn would have been fine either way. Connor had been known to make fairly strong Force barriers, and that's what he would have done. It now seemed that he and the droid were going to have to have a conversation after they escaped the cave. Connor now turned his attention to Why'nn. "What took you so long? Surely it wasn't that hard to find. Let's get going. We need to get back to Korriban. And we are going back today since we have what we came for. I'm sick of this planet and the people we have encountered here. They can stay here and freeze to death for all I care." Connor gave one last look to Why'nn, then turned and began walking out of the cave, his anger was beginning to grow now. If anything else happened before they got back to their ship, it was likely Connor would strike out at who ever tried to get in their way.
 
Jace figured Rylos would take care of Chuka and that Chuka upon hearing his new plan would remove the explosives planted in the vehicles. Jace ignited his jetpack and jumped off the ground and let the propulsion take him right out of the cave. He landed outside blaster pistol drawn and darksaber at the ready. He personally wanted to shoot Connor for putting them all in danger like that including his own comrades. It seemed Connor's intention was to try and kill everyone, Jace couldn't just let that slide. This guy is a real pain in the rancor pit.





Jace drew ignited his darksaber and aimed his gun at Connor. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you. You recklessly endangered your own comrades and deliberately caused that cave in despite the droid telling you not to. You don't seem so keen on my presence either which means you'll likely make yourself an obstacle to my mission. You're also not the brightest tool in the shed."
 
Connor looked at Jace as he ignited his saber and aimed his blaster. He gave him a shrug. "I guess I don't have one. However, I do know that the Mandalorians are currently employed by the Sith Empire and my own master just happens to be one of the members of the Dark Council. I don't think she'd take lightly to hearing news from my comrades here that a Mandalorian killed her apprentice. I can imagine the wrath of the entire Sith Empire weighing down on your kind is not something Mandalore would want." With that, Connor once again turned his back to Jace, and continued walking away.

"That's pretty funny actually and under a normal situation would he true. But...." Jace said. Not the solution I was looking for but will have to do. Manara's apprentice should be just as good as her daughter. Jace pulled the trigger aiming to place his first shot in Connor's spine the next few were to corral Connor to one side if the first one missed. He readied his saber to deflect any shots that were deflected back at him.
 
Connor sensed the shots, turned, and managed to deflect the first shot. However, one of the next shots caught Connor in the left shoulder. He didn't bother to deflect the other blasts as they went wide. Connor glared at Jace, withdrew his second saber, and ignited it. "You're making the wrong decision pal." Connor lunged forward, swinging his first blade down toward Jace's head, then the other toward his side. There was something different about this Mandalorian, but he couldn't think about that right now. He needed to focus solely on the fight that was beginning to unfold.
 
Raikou Kaminari]Jace guessed this woman wasn't up to anything and Chuka's end of the mission was likely heating up so he had to go. But he looked back at the jedi now onserivng1 the fact she is kind of attractive. [I]Just because the Mandalorians are tentative said:

When a ship flew past her, it would seem that she was a little too late. Suddenly, a man in Mando armor, mostly like a bounty hunter, jumped out of hiding with his Jetpack. "Dammit!" She sighed in frustration since she blanked out. Jesslean just deactivated her lightsaber. Something was definitely going on in this planet. Curious, she decided that she was gonna go investigate. Pressing a button on her gauntlet, her Jedi Fighter showed up. She would hope in and attempt to follow the Mandolorian Ship that had escaped her grasp.
 
HK-50-01 didn't notice what Connor had said the first time , as small chunks of ice fell around him. His only concern was protecting Why'nn at all costs , and escaping before the surely hundreds of hostiles would show up - after all , he had made a rather large explosion and now a cave was collapsing. Normally , by himself , he would have stayed and fought. But HK-50 had Why'nn , Connor and other beings who very likely wouldn't survive such an encounter. So he kept running , finally coming to the speeders.


With that he jumped onto the speeder and put Why'nn behind him. Looking back so he wouldn't burn whoever was behind him , he saw - and heard - Jace and Connor begin a stand off. ANY MOMENT HOSTILES ARE GOING TO COME BY THE HUNDREDS AND THEY ARE FIGHTING! RESOLVE YOIR ISSUES ABOARD THE SHIP WE NEED TO LEAVE NOW IMMEDIATELY! He hoped they would resolve it themselves , especially when Connor began walking away.


And then the shots came. Lightsabers ignited , and HK-50 had had enough. "PRE-OVERRIDE! STOP! FIGHTING! Any moment hundreds of hostiles are going to be arriving to the enormous explosion we created and here you are trying to kill each other. DO IT ABOARD THE SHIP! Or I'll kill you both and leave with Why'nn here. INI! CONNOR! Speeder besh. JACE! Speeder Cresh. RYLOR AND CHUKA! Go back to your ship. I'll lead , with Jace and Connor flanking me on Kresh and Besh. OR DO YOU ALL WANT TO DIE! LETS GO GO GO!"

Rylos jetted after Jace and followed him out of the cave. Landing beside Jace, Rylos wipped out his blasters and dove behind cover, firing several shots as he did after Jace's rounds. 'Damn, we need to leave. Jace is starting a fight and we are in danger.' "Jace, we need to leave..now" Rylos called over the com system, knowing that if they did not leace they would all be in hot water. "Chuka, rig a speeder and send it down here as a diversion. Jace we can use the ones that are left to get the ruck out of here." Rylos knew that they all had to leave, 'the employer wouldnjust jave to suck it up. If he didn't kill his target now he could always try again, that is if he survived.' Standing up Rylos threw a smoke granade at the entrance of the cave, then he ignited his jet pack and blasted off towards the speeders.


@Grim Wraithe Stjerna @Raikou Kaminari
 
Jace dodged to the side and then rocketed into the air with his jetpack and prepared to serenade Connor with his flame thrower when HK demanded they stop presenting once more logic Jace couldn't argue with. Then there was the theft of a speeder and someone running off with Darth Manara's daughter. He contacted Chuka and Rylor "Just get to the ship, I am signaling it to come here now." As the ship came within sight he noticed the silhouette of a jedi starfighter tailing it. He could sense that it was the woman he met earlier. Jace wish he had time to talk to her but he didn't.


@Grim Wraithe Stjerna @Killorkiller @Amaterasu Kawashima @KalenNighteyes


Jace turned his device and remembered that Chuka should have rigged the speeders to blow. Jace reached out with the force and used it to "borrow" the detonator from Chuka. He connected his helmet's HUD so he could control manually when and if which ones will explode. Jace flew over to the the swoop bike he arrived in, preparing to ride out with HK and guard his right side.

As Zerek saw the wall buckle and collapse, he followed the Sith out of the cave, running with both blaster pistols drawn. He decided to make himself a nuisance. 'Blast Connor & Why'nn, take her hostage, and use her as cover, get to the ship, wake her up, drop her off somewhere nice, sell the holocron. Why did today have to suck?' Zerek aimed at the backs of Why'nn and Connor's heads, firing a quartet of stun rings, two for each one, throwing down his second flashbang, and grabbing Why'nn from the back of the speeder in the confusion with the Force, throwing his sabers and chopping off the droid's arms. Zerek tossed Why'nn on an unoccupied Mandalorion speeder, sticking Jace with a grenade, and sped off, tossing a live grenade at the other parked speeders, and throwing one of his sticky bombs at Rylos for good measure. Zerek sped off towards his ship, activating the engines through his datapad.

Ini, who'd been sitting quietly for a while now, raised his hand as the detonators sailed through the air at the speeders and at Rylos. Ini also took the liberty of using the Force to remove the grenade that was attacked to Jace's chest. He quickly stuck the together in the air and hurled them off into the tundra, the explosion and the panicked scream of a Taun-Taun the only indicator of their continued existence. He looked at the three mandolorians.


"Well gentlemen. It's been fun. I wish the three of you a good day.


With that Ini stood and walked over to his personal speeder. As he sat down, he motioned to Connor and the Droid to follow.


"Well, are the two of you coming? We have to get your friend back."
 
Why'nn would've replied to Connor but HK-50-01 moved too fast and saved her the trouble of lying. Soon she was on the back of the droid's speeder. "Connor! Get to your damned spee-" The world went black and she would've hit HK-50-01, slumping against him if the thief hadn't grabbed her. Dead to the world, she couldn't have noticed the Holocron falling out of her pocket, into the snow beside HK-50's speeder. The disks were snug in her pocket.
 
HK-50-01 felt the Lightsaber shear through his arm before anything else. The other he moved with reflexes a normal human could never hope to achieve , and that one stayed on. Turning around to see if Why'nn was still there , he saw her fly off and onto the Scavengers speeder. A howl of anguish and rage escaped him , and the moment he tried to activate the speeder to follow , an explosive beeped. This he stabbed with his knife arm , before tossing it up into the air.


Where it exploded with the rest of what Ini had avoided hitting them. OH YES I WILL FOLLOW SUCCEED NOT FAIL NO FAILURE NONE FOR THE GREAT HK-50 NONE FOR WHY'NN! Deciding to also take charge , he ordered everyone to do tasks. "Command : JACE , RYLOS AND CHUKA! Get the ship primed. Access code is 38400762 , and I bind you in your Mandalorian honor that you won't leave us. If myself , Ini and Connor aren't back soon activate the tracker that's surely on these speeders and follow us. Connor , Ini , form up behind me. I have a better survival rate. Here's your Lightsaber Ini. Grab my arm too , Jace. Now GO GO GO!"





With that he tossed Ini the being's Lightsaber and sped off , shooting all the ammunition in his Blaster Rifle after The Scavenger. After it was empty he shouldered it - still had the grenades - and drew his sword , howling Rakatani war cries as he flew on. He would recover Why'nn if it killed him - not that that was even possible. And he would kill the Scavenger in a horrible way - feeding him to a Wampa , alive. No mercy for the enemies of Why'nn , enemies of himself. I'm going to enjoy this..
 
Now that the sticky bomb was off his chest which had attached itself to him before he could settle into his swoop bike. Then he saw another speeder rocketing out from the same direction the sticky bomb came from. He fired his grappling hook into the back of the speeder and let it pull him. He shut off his jetpack so now he was skidding along the snow and ice of Hoth. I went through all that work to not kill the target not letting someone run off with them. But man this armor is going to need some repair, looks like I am wearing the Beskar one for a while.





Jace was going to burn this guy to ash when he catches him. He hoped that Rylos and Chuka would follow once the Kom'rk Class Starship picked them up. The ship can function as starfighter with a crew of 4.
 
Connor watched the events unfold before him, leaving him slightly confused. He saw Zerek take Why'nn and speed off. This made him angry, so angry he almost missed the Holocron that lay on the ground next to HK-50-01's speeder. Before following what the droid said, Connor ran over, picked up the Holocron and stowed it under his robes. He wasn't about to lose this, and he wasn't about to lose Why'nn. Connor finally jumped onto his speeder and fell into position behind HK-50-01. "Let's get going! We have to get her back!"
 
Cursing under his breatha as he saw Jace being dragged off behind the Scavengers speeder, Rylos activated the his speeder that was parked just slightly away from the rest. Using his HUD to guide it to his location he jumped on it right as it arived, swinging one leg over the seat he say down pulling of his blasters out and fitted with a ion dipersal granade and could be shot from it. Punching the accelerater to max Rylos sped off after Jace, moving about 3 degrees to the right of the Scavengers speeder Rylos worked his up next to Jace. As he pulled up to Jace, Rylos came in close and reached out his hand," JACE, TAKE MY HAND!!" Rylos yelled to Jace using both the coms and his voice, 'shit, that cable was not made for this. He has to get his ass up here.' Rylos thought, knowing that he had to act soon or else Jace would be left in the dust, or snow.


@Raikou Kaminari


(I hate posting on my phone..)
 
Ini Ma'at nodded and activated his speeder, accelerating closer to the fleeing kidnapper. When he saw Rylos trying to reach Jace, who was being dragged along behind their quarry's speeder, Ini reached out with the Force, lifted Jace out of the snow, and placed him onto Rylos's speeder behind the other bounty hunter. He shouted to them over the roar of the speeders


"So... I'll admit I hadn't been listening much back there, it was a bit hard to follow. What brings you two and your companion to Hoth?"


__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Darth Nah-Iblen entered Darth Manara's chambers slowly, his head bowed. When he approached her, he kept his head down, kneeling as he stopped. He did, in addition to his regular business, have a rather small request to make of Manara. He'd been planning this for a while, and he didn't want to incur her wrath now. He kept his emotions suppressed of course, he didn't want to spoil the surprise. He could already almost imagine the look on her face. Unfortunately, he couldn't hide his grin. Not that he bothered, he was usually grinning about something or other. Manara probably wouldn't find it strange.


"Mistress. I wish to report that you daughter's training in the Art of Torture is going well. She excels at using the force to gather information. Regrettably though, and admittedly this is more of a personal preference of mine, the girl still exhibits reluctance to use more... conventional means of torture."
 
Zerek felt the speeder lurch, grabbing onto the girl to make sure she stayed in place. He heard the sound of snow being crushed over the speeder's whine. 'I'd like to think that today is the culmination of a lifetime of really bad decisions.' And then he ducked to avoid a rouge blaster bolt flying towards his face, quickly turning, he spotted Master Ma'at and the droid giving chase as well, with Connor and the other Mandalorian not too far behind. 'And it just keeps getting better! C'mon, think!' Zerek swerved left and right to avoid blaster fire and try to lose the Mandalorian attached to his speeder, using his hand to keep the girl on. An idea hit, a crazy one, but then again, this was the worst possible day for sane decisions. He used the Force to keep the accelerator on the speeder down, slowly removing his hands, finding that he could maintain concentration without much trouble, even over whatever the droid was yelling. He drew his lightsabers, ready to enact the stupidest thing he'd ever thought to do.


Zerek slowly stood atop the speeder, turning to face his pursuers. His face was the picture of determination, even, focused and only the angle of his stare revealing his anger. He walked over the girl and stood over the point where the grappling hook was attached. With a final glare at the Mandalorians he ignited his sabers, their orange blades melting any snow coming their way and deflecting any blaster shots, and sliced the panel the hook was attached to cleanly. Now he just had to deal with Master Ma'at, Connor, the other Mandalorian, and the droid. He reached into his coat and grabbed his last two sticky grenades, throwing them at the Mandalorian, cooking them for a second before throwing them. He then sat back down, gripping the handles again, using the Force to raise a snow mist as he turned to the right, trying to lose them. 'Just need to get to the ship, then I can leave and sell the holocron. Oh hell they aren't going to stop... need to think of something!'
 
Jace looked at Rylos first with confusion as he could've sworn he told him to go get the ship but no use arguing about it now. He felt himself being lifted up onto Rylos's speeder and was about to retract his hook when he felt it go slack meaning someone cut it. He retracted the hook from the severed panel and then with precision granted by the force he shot the two sticky grenade mid air causing a brief explosion. Then the jedi master in a nearby speeder ask them their purpose for being here. Jace shouted back "It's a mission that we are currently searching for a loop hole to."


He checked his HUD for a map of the area, he searched for the one provided by scans taken by his Kom'rk Class starship. It detected a nearby ship which the thief seemed to be fleeing towards. Jace shouted. "Guys follow me we can cut him off." Jace pointed in the direction of the ship to direct Rylos to head straight for it.
