Divergence in Destiny (Star Wars RP)

"Just let them I will not be handing over any of weapons or armaments, that I shall not allow them lay a finger upon me. Doing such could result in a intergalactic incident in which the Sith Empire loses their favorite mercenaries or give up the one you serve and all persons involved., the relationship by our two sides is as tentative as it already is. Other than that I shall try not to step on any toes but you've seen how I handle confrontation already." Jace said. Jace wasn't trying to be difficult but the rumors of what happens on Korriban makes it too much of a risk to go unarmed. He wasn't about to let them imprison him either.


Jace pulled out his comm link and connected it to his helmet HUD. He spent the rest of the time sending a coded message to Chuka and Rylos to be on standby in Dreshdae the colony near the Sith academy. @Grim Wraithe Stjerna @Killorkiller
 
HK-50-01 was happy the Jedi would still cooperate - he didn't want to have to crack the being's skull. He didn't hear the 'commotion' the Jedi spoke of , not paying attention to anything outside the Cargo Hold - but he wasn't going to bother Connor and Why'nn anyway , even if they weren't fornicating. But they shouldn't be , should they? We're going to be there in 10 minutes. That's not enough time for anything of that nature. No.. I'll allow them privacy. Have to watch the Mandalorian here anyway.. Oh-One did want to apologize and beg Connor for forgiveness.. But that can take place later , after he pleases his Mistress with the Gift of the Jedi.


The Mandalorian wasn't going to give up his weapons , and truthfully , HK-50-01 didn't blame him. Those Apprentices can be almost unnaturally cruel.. Better to at least be able to protect yourself. Really? He didn't care what happened in relation to the Mandalorian. If he needed to be destroyed , HK-50 himself would handle it and take punishment for it- even if that punishment was destruction. I'll take full responsibility , that it was my own compunction and no other's.. That way Why'nn and Mistress won't be killed or exiled.. HK-50 didn't actually care what happened to Mistress beyond it having effects on him , but Why'nn.. Her being exiled wasn't anything he wanted to happen to her , much less killed.


Thinking on that possibility , he trembled lightly and softly Whimpered before recovering - and then choosing to start speech. "Replication : Yes , Yes. I shouldn't bother them - though why they would be , ah , reveling is under question since we're 10 minutes from Planet-Fall. I do want to- no. Again.. Emotionless killer , not old , broken droid. Jace - I see your reasoning. The Sith can be unnaturally cruel - I would know! - but I must inform you. If you require termination , I will be handling it and will take the full responsibility , even if that means my destruction. Hopefully that will mean Mistress and Why'nn would be spared from Exile or Death.. Please , please keep yourself in check , Mandalorian , or I will be forced to Enact Protocols upon you. That is your only warning , and it hopefully will Suffice. Now , let's all strap in for Re-Entry."

Connor didn't open the door, instead he switched on the ship's intercom and spoke over it. "Get strapped in. We're making out final approach to Korriban." Connor knew that Why'nn would probably be angry with him when he did come out of the bridge, but it would be worth it. No one was going to try anything while there was a squadron of thirty men escorting them. It would be suicide, Mandalorian or not. After having felt so crappy for most of the day, Connor actually felt invigorated, and felt he had done something right for a change. With a smirk on his face, Connor began pushing buttons to pull them out of Hyperspace. As the ship exited Hyperspace, the planet came into view. Carefully, Connor piloted the ship through the atmosphere and down to the academy landing platform. As they approached, he saw Commander Forge waiting for them with the promised squadron of men. With his smile growing, he set the ship down easily and moved out of the bridge, fully expecting to be scolded by Why'nn.


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


Commander Forge watched as the ship landed, standing at attention with his arms positioned behind his back. When had been given the order to take thirty men, commandos and Force users alike, Forge was careful to only pick those who had a history with fighting against strong forces. This was a fine mixture of Commandos and Force users, indeed. He felt confidant that Jedi and Mandalorian alike would think twice before starting a conflict with this small force.


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


Manara looked as Nah-Iblen entered her chamber once more. She had just managed to finish doing some of her work, and her daughter and apprentice were due any moment. She moved papers and data pads down into her lockable drawers, then stood up. "Certainly. Feel free to wait here with me if you wish." She walked around her desk and down to the man. She was curious about this new method of torture that he had in mind. Now that she had a free moment, perhaps she could accompany him. "There are other matters I need to attend to when they get back, however, after they return I will accompany you to see this new torture method you have in mind. I will not have long, but I do wish to see it."

Standing quietly in the entryway, Darth Trakus stood with his hands crossed over his chest, his right hand slowly drumming along his left. He had gotten word the two apprentices were arriving back today, and Darth Trakus would have hated to miss their arrival. Standing to either side of him, four Imperial soldiers were doing final checks on their rifles, as the ship began its descent. Darth Trakus had put his men at the top of the ramp into the academy, while he stood a few feet below them on the ramp.


Looking around at the others waiting as well, Darth Trakus simply smiled behind his mask. He would let them have their ways for now. But he would begin his task the moment he believed it was time. Looking back up at the descending ship, Darth Trakus slowly began to hum.
 
At Connor's announcement, Why'nn glared at the door, but left to grab the Holocron from the private quarters. It wouldn't do to destroy more of her mother's property right before landing. She stowed the artifact beneath her robes, making sure it would be out of sight to any who were unaware of the mission, and returned to the comms room, seating herself and strapping in for the descent. It wasn't a bumpy landing. Connor was a better pilot than she, but she still glared at him as he exited the bridge.


Unstrapping herself, she jumped up and gave the apprentice a quick jab to the shoulder. "What was that about?" she hissed. However, the hit was much lighter than usual and she didn't follow it up with lightning or any threats. As the ship settled, she straightened and looked to the hold. "The Jedi will need to be taken in immediately... I'm unsure what to do about the Mandalorian. Perhaps Mother will have an idea. Why are you smiling?"
 
Connor never stopped smiling, even when she jabbed him. "It's been taken care of." Connor's smile actually resembled that of Why'nn's mother's when something was going very right. Why'nn had certainly seen that smile from her mother on several occasions. Through the Force, if Why'nn reached out, she would feel confidence, and even a bit of pride. It would also be clear that he knew something she didn't. He knew who her mother had sent out to meet them, and the squad the man had put together looked like a good one. Rather than say anything more, Connor motioned toward the exit area of the ship. "After you."
 
HK-50-01 felt the ship dock - he hadn't actually strapped in as he had advised , either. Instead he had magnetized his feet to the deck to keep from being thrown around during Re-Entry. The moment they had docked , he motioned for the Jedi and the Mandalorian to go the Exit Ramp


, trailing the Jedi with shoves to help his ruse. The Mandalorian wouldn't do anything , as far As HK-50 was concerned. I know one thing - there has to be at least 15 troopers out there , along with a few Sith. And he's hopelessly outmatched - no , I can rely on him to be sensible for now.


Waiting by the Exit ramp with Ini ahead of him , he sorely hoped Connor and Why'nn weren't 'reveling'. We have something to do first , and then we can all celebrate and give into passion and all that Sith Code stuff. Something else he hoped was that whatever forces that were waiting for them didn't have any ill intentions - that wouldn't be the FIRST time he had finished a mission with a firefight between 'friendlies'. Muttering to himself scarcely , he said something in Rakatani roughly meaning "Please hurry up."
 
Nah-Iblen nodded when Manara gave him permission to greet her apprentices with her.


"Thank you kindly Mistress."


He stood at the side of the room, a few feet from the door, and waited.


__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Ini walked ahead of the Droid, leaning heavily on his cane and tapping at the ground in front of him as if he were blind. Part of him sincerely hoped none of the others ratted him out. While he honestly didn't need to do the "blind old man" routine here, putting these Sith off-guard couldn't hurt.
 
Tafyn was in the Academy cantina, drinking some Jogan Brandy, and recollecting her thoughts. She had a new assignment; to kill "imperfections" within the Sith system. She wasn't that strong, really, but she did have skill. She was no stranger to murder and killing, no doubt about that. She'd quit the drinking and headed to the spaceport for a view of those entering and leaving.


(Sorry it's really short, I have nothing to think of.)
 
Why'nn glared at Ini as she saw them approaching. "You do yourself a disservice, Jedi. I'd suggest cutting the act unless you want the torment increased that much more. Neither my mother nor Lord Nah-Iblen suffer feigned weakness lightly." But she stepped forward, sensing Connor's mood. It honestly put her in a little better of a mood as well. If he knew something she didn't and was proud of it, that must mean good things for them. She dropped the glare, a smirk taking over as the ramp descended and she saw what Connor had done.


"Oh, I see you called in the cavalry." Why'nn practically giggled with glee. While she didn't hate the Jedi, it might do some good to watch his torture. She exited, knowing full well Connor would be walking in what her mother saw as his proper place now that they were back on Korriban. She barely acknowledged the soldiers until, of course, they came to Commander Forge. Despite his alien descent, he was quite a fun man to watch in the field, something she'd only had the opportunity to do once or twice.


"Good showing, Commander," she purred as they passed. Today was a good day. Now to get to Mother and hand over the Holocron. She'd meet privately (if she had her way) so she could report on the recording Connor's father left as well as her encounter in the cave.
 
Ini sighed and straightened his posture, only barely leaning on the walking stick now. Still, he held onto the stick tightly. It was his last weapon, and though Ini was still formidable in the art of hand-to-hand combat, he wasn't quiet as young as he once was, and didn't feel like taking unnecessary chances in that regard.


He walked by the Sith troops without looking directly at any of them. Chances were that if he did look at them, he'd earn himself a blow to the head. Escaping would be difficult enough, he didn't need to get himself brain damage in the process.

HK-50-01 was happier when Why'nn approched with Connor in tow , knowing they wouldn't delay what needed to be done. However.. He wished she hadn't asked the Jedi to abandon the Ruse. If I could've fooled him into thinking he fooled the Sith Troopers and alert a hopefully competent commander that would understand my Hand-Signals.. He did admit the Jedi not pretending would be a help if the Commander wasn't as Competent as HK-50 would've preferred.


When the doors opened , HK-50-01 saw the almost 30 troopers and Sith Acolytes grouped at the Exit. He immediately locked in on Commander Forge. Ah. A very competent Commander then.. And one I quite like for many reasons. Not least of which his calculating ruthlessness. HK-50 wouldn't admit it to himself , but he really liked Commander Forge because he possesses empathy for him - both were continually tortured and beaten for reasons that had nothing to do with the performance of thier jobs - HK-50 for being a droid , Forge for being a Chiss 'alien'.


His eyes turned orange as he motioned the warning that the now straight postured Ini wasn't blind - pointing forwards , to his eyes (which turned breifly black) , shaking his head and then clamping his free hand over his vocabulator grate. That would roughly mean 'He isn't blind , But don't tell anyone else' - Commander Forge would've understood this , if no-one else. Right after Why'nn passed with a compliment , HK-50 also complimented him - "Gratitude : good to know a competent Commander - and one I trust - is leading the detail for the Prisoner here. Thank YOU Connor , for making sure we had a Detail." He didn't tremble at the idea he would meet with Misress , approaching that region of the Complex - he had a gift for her , one she would find Most Pleasing.
 
Jace walked down the ramp like a badass mostly because of how cool his armor looks. The black titn hid his face from the welcoming party of thirty men. The hot sandy wind blew as he exited the ship making his cape billow in the wind a nice to effect to the metallic clank of his boots on the ramp of the ship then the surface of the platform. He didn't make any motions at the men didn't seem to make any motions towards him. Jace decided to give another half truth so they would not bother him. " I am Jace Setsuno of Mandalore trained by Mandalore the Vindicated himself as per his symbol on my armor. I am here on official and confidential business. I shall not give up my arms or try to step on anyone's toes unless mine are stepped on first. Understood?"
 
Forge nodded as the Sith walked past he and his squadron. Forge took notice of what the HK unit had done and gave a nod. Then the Mandalorian stepped out and began spouting something about being on official business. As it stood, Forge was unaware of any official Mandalorian business being conducted by the Sith, and that's all he cared about. Forge gave a sigh. "If I want you to surrender your weapons, you will do so, or you will be killed. I care not for whom you serve and, despite being a Mandalorian, I'm sure your primitive brain can do the calculations. You are outnumbered. Even if half my men die in the process, you will be taken down. If I were you, I would simply comply."





Connor smirked as Forge spoke. He walked past the Mandalorian, giving him a pat on the shoulder. "I'd do as he says." Connor then pat HK on the shoulder then continued down the ramp, past the squadron of troops and Sith, following after Why'nn. Surely his master would need to speak with him regarding the Mandalorian and the Jedi, though it had been HK who captured him. He would, despite the droid's intentions, tell Manara it had been HK-50-01 who had caught him.
 
Why'nn's smile was sweet, almost innocent, as she glanced back at the Mandalorian. "Have fun with that. I'm sure The Beast will enjoy your corpse." Any of the acolytes (and most of the soldiers) who knew the Council member's daughter would shiver at that seeming innocence. Many of them had seen that look before receiving a good amount of punishment. But Why'nn was not bound on punishing any of the gathered (except, perhaps, the Jedi) and she continued toward the entrance to the Academy. Her mother would want to see them immediately.
 
Vizgal watched the proceedings with minimal intrest, his master had given him permission to take the pair into custody as soon as they landed. Standing behind his master he spoke, "Master, if it is your will i shall take the pair to...interagation." with that Vizgal bowed and left walking around to a place where he could be heard by the pair, "Why'nn, Conner, you are to head directlly to the rooms of Darth Trakus, by order of Him and Sarth Manara." Something grabbed his attention away for a second, Connor and Why'nn, something had happened on their last mission. Shaking it off, Vizgal reformed himself, "defiance will not be tolerated" as he spoke something dangerous welled up inside him, something he could barley hold back he knew exactly what it was.

Watching his apprentice quietly, Darth Trakus grunted, before turning and walking back into the academy. He had rushed things, but, either way, it could be done now as well as later. Turning to one of the troopers at the door, he briefly gave the man orders to go to Darth Manara and bring her as well, he had made a promise after all. As the trooper ran down, Darth Trakus turned and walked back into the academy.


His apprentice, or one of the soldiers, would show them the way to his rooms. He needed to grab something first...

Rylos had his feet kicked up on the table of a bar as he trank hus fill. It had been some time since he had been told to cone to this planet by Jace. Not that he was going to complain, it was fun waiting for the "Champion of Mandalor" to call for his aid. He had lost track of Chuka but he would probably show up at the ship when time was right.
 
Why'nn kept the sweet smile when she was approached by the unknown apprentice. "You'd stop me from completing a mission set out by a Council member? I don't believe you have that authority. I have to complete my mission. And... until I hear as much from Darth Manara herself, I won't be doing anything you order." She pushed past the man and headed toward her mother's office. The nerve of him. However, she kept her smile in place which caused the slaves to scatter out of her way.
 
HK-50-01 almost gave one of his Mocking Laughs as Jace walked down the Ramp like he owned the Galaxy. Yes , and I'm sure you'll get killed faster than I can say your name if you don't comply with any orders. I suppose it IS true that Mandalorians are idiots. Outnumbered 30 to one and you make demands? If all of them are like this it's no wonder they lost the Mandalorian Wars.. They don't know when to quit.


Commander Forge gave him an appreciative nod , and this almost caused his eyes to turn entirely green - appreciative nods were the most recognition the composed Chiss Commander gave in public. Forge also seemed to be amused by Jace's antics , and stated much the same thoughts HK-50 had , with less References of course. If this doesn't stop I am going to bust out one of those laughs.. This is just too hilarious. He threw an appreciative nod back at the Commander , before making a hand signal roughly equivalent to words saying 'Is he joking or stupid?'


Finally , after Connor gave HK-50 himself a pat on the shoulders and Why'nn gave Jace a sweet - deceptively so , as he saw a couple soldiers Tremble and had seen what happens after such a one is used - remark , he did actually use such a laugh - before speaking. "Statement : oh , I've got to be going , but I just want to say how Hilarious this is. No wonder you lost the Mandalorian Wars , if you're all this stupid you would've died out in weeks. Please just follow Commander's orders , both Commanders. Or I'll ram that DarkSaber of yours down your throat - 'Official' Buisness or not. You all have fun back here , I've got to get going. That goes for you too , Prisoner Jedi." He then shoved the Jedi forward with gusto and walked faster to ReJoin Why'nn.


Who was talking to some Appretnice about not being refuted from completing their mission. This prompted him to speak again , and raise his weapon at the apprentice. "Threat : I suggest you do as she says , whoever you are. My Mistress has urgent business and whatever you or a party you represent wants can wait until afterwards , unless you want Mistress Manara to splatter your insides all over the Docking Bay here - if I myself don't First. Not that I wouldn't mind , but I want this business done without interruption." HK-50 followed in Why'nn's wake after she shoved the Apprentice asides , fully prepared to be attacked from behind.

"HAHAHA! you may do as you wish, though all i have said was true." Vizgal laughed, it was amusing to see Why'nn like this. with that fake smile meant to scare him, he could not mach her in the force, but Thanatos could. "Please, do let me stand in the way of the daughter of Manara." Vizgal said the word daughter dripping with sarcasm, like she was nothing but a child, after all she was but a shadow of her mother, and her father a jedi, ha. She was nothing to him, and letting Thanatos out right now would not be the best of ideas. Vizgal did not even register the droid, he was of no concern.
 
The smile was not meant to scare the unknown, but merely a reflection of her current state of mind. At the sarcasm, however, her mood shifted from amused to murderous and the girl (for she was a girl, barely 14), stopped. The air around her became chill as red seeped from the edges of her irises. As she turned to face the unknown, there was a fire in her gaze, even if the smile was still upon her face. "I'm sorry. Did I hear you right?" Her irises were now completely crimson. She took a step toward the man, her hands clasped behind her back. Connor, HK-50-01, and Ini would see the lightning already sparking there. "Was that meant to be sarcasm?" Another step forward. "Was that meant to insult me? I severely hope, for your sake, that I heard you wrong."
 
HK-50-01 was happy not to feel a Lightsaber plunge through his chest as he followed Why'nn - But what he said was enough to make HK-50 Sigh. I really don't have time to fight this being here.. And neither does Why'nn.. Mistress requires us. He almost turned around and plunged his own blade into the Idiot Apprentice , but listened to the rest of his words - words designed to begin Combat. That the being said nothing to HK-50 himself didn't bother him - he didn't have much pride left.


HK-50-01 watched as Why'nn turned around and clasped her hands behind her back , temperature readings registering a drop in the rooms overall heat. He trembled slightly as lightning lept from the clasped hands , but remembered that she wouldn't hurt him. I almost want to see her kill this being , but we have something to do - and Mistress may hurt me for us arriving late..


So it was that before the being could say anything , HK-50 spoke rapidly. "Diplomacy : Hey! New one.. Anyway , Why'nn , I don't care if you kill him. I Want to kill him , but we have something to do. Mistress - as you know - won't be happy if we get delayed to fight a weak fool who doesn't even have the courage to adress you while you face him.. Or even give you his name. We'll complete our debriefing and then leave , do whatever it is we wish to do to this person and.. Then I don't know. But let's go , please."
 
"well, it was infa..." Vizgal was yanked from his body and stood gazing at Thanatos, This is my fight... not yours. Vizgal could say nothing, and do thing, he was helpless. Don't worry, i will not kill or fight, simply defend us from her, the chilling voice said, I will not dishonor our master. with that Vizgal was gone, and in his place stood Thanatos. On the out side it looked as if Vizgal was about to say something but then faltered and stumbled. "Hmmm, it appears you are hard of hearing as well. No matter" as Thanatos spoke, his body language changed, a crazy light in his eyes, a more aggressive stance, he held himself higher. "I will not hold you back, you have a mission to achieve...better not be late." the last part was said in a hushed tone, Thanatos said the words with an erie smile that said he wanted to kill her. His very force presence jumped through the roof as Thanatos came into control, Thanatos made not move to attack, he simply stood there.
 
Nah-Iblen idley leaned on the wall, tapping his foot against it with a bored expression on his face. Finally, he stood up straight and looked at Manara.


"They are certainly taking their sweet time Mistress. If it would please you, then perhaps I might go out and see what the hold-up is?"
