RPG: Age of Skywalker (Page 4 of 30)

AMELICO: LOCAL STARPORT: HANGER BAY OF THE GUARDIAN SOL

Daybreak arrives and I'm waiting patiently for the Satarin named Zoncxs. The local starport is fairly busy, with a lot of the Amelican settlers and merchant traders selling their goods and services. It's fairly peaceful here, not as chaotic as Coruscant, but not as secluded as my birthplanet of Myrkr. I know the intel's reliable, a happy drunk will spill his guts easily for a few more drinks down his gullet. Of course, my prey had no reason to believe himself in danger, so he had no reason to hide. And this fancy yacht I'm standing near isn't the sort of thing you'd leave behind on the run. I had a good lead on the guy. I wait. He'll be here. A few techs pass in and out, apparently installing the last of the owner's modifications and stocking his supplies.

<Not soon, enough> I think. <Skywalker's waiting for me. I hope he doesn't do anything too drastic in my absense. The young looking strange fellow in the Chiss clawcraft worries me. I don't know how he'd managed 3,000 plus years in cryostasis. A unique case indeed. I'm going to have to do this quickly to deal with the other issues obviously popping up in my absence. As soon as I get off planet, I'll take this ship to the edge of this system and contact Glitch through my holonet relay to rendezvous with us for a prisoner transfer, lock our friend nice and tight with a few ysalamiri neighbors for company and a nice ride to Coruscant aboard the Wayward Soul. I might even slave his nav computer to my own for the ride, if I feel generous. That's the plan.>

My musings are interrupted by the long awaited arrival. He's tall and young. He looks more human than Satarin to me, but then as a Twilek, they all look alike to me. He walks over, obviously nervous about my unexpected visit.

"Ummmm...can I help you?" he asks. He looks like he might run any second, or pull out the lightsabers hanging from his belt. No need to hide that here, I think. My presence is still minimized in the force. It's something I learned to do early on as a young boy amid force hunting predators on Myrkr. It comes so easily.

"Yes, I was informed you may be able to help me. I'll need a ride to Coruscant..."

He stares at me, obviously suspicious. He's good not to trust. I feel a slight probing in the force, he's searching for something. <Maybe he knows,> I think <or maybe he's overly cautious. I would be too if I were exiting Chiss space around the time the Rebellion had fled there. I'm not sure the rebels had any force users. I assumed they'd believed Skywalker to be the last of his kind. Of course the rest of us were in hiding. Maybe Skywalker's bravery to face the Old Empire head on does say something about his character. It's too bad he allowed his grief over years of war to justify his desperate take over. Maybe there's hope...>

My prey stares as though he was the hunter. I give him nothing. He conceeds, but remains suspicious.

"I will take you to Coruscant," he says, and smiles. It's dangerous. <Perhaps this prey has more hunter in him than I'd expected,> I think. I'm intrigued, but I don't want to lose my advantage, yet...

"Thank you," I say. "I'm in a bit of a rush, so as soon as your ready will be fine. I'll even pay extra. How much for a trip to Coruscant, anyway?"

(Am I the only i one left????
And would you mind greatly if I sort of oh....made up a planet or moon? Just for the next bunch of posts, until the people at the rebel base rescue me *HINT HINT NUDGE NUDGE*)

  Kharn raised his lightsaber, yet again. The blade hummed. There it was again. The large fish hiding in underground tunnels underneath the beach. He hoped the creature wouldent look up again, it was tense he could tell. Kharn reached out, trying to calm the large serpentine fish. He could feel its discomfort, and he saw its eyes flick up quickly, and saw its muscles bunch for the quick backwards thrust. Kharn slamed the lightsaber down. He had been hunting this damn fish all day, and all he had to show for it were holes in the rock. He had set multiple traps in many of the tunnel openings, he had seen the entrances to this tunnel system that ran under the submerged part of the beach as he brought the Clawcraft up to shore.

  Kharn's hyperdrive was shot, so all he could do was try to escape, and die of old age. He had seen birds and other creatures in the distance, he would hunt for them soon, but now, he decided to pull the Clawcraft onto shore, before it rusted. As he landed he thumbed a small distress signal. As he began to pull himself out, he noticed a small nerf-leather holster. He took it, and set it with the rest of his armor. It was too hot, he had stripped down gradualy to the point where was just wearing part of the leggings. He went to check his traps, and found that some of them had caught small fish, but not the one he had tried to catch. It was a smart one. He had seen its relatives in the ocean.

(I'd prefer not to be so surprised, Appo. I'd like to know what specific powers Jinn has, if you don't mind. Prevents any future issues. I don't want all-powerful force users. We all have weaknesses...)

Luke Skywalker was not in the best of moods today. Since the new High Inquisitor had departed, he'd dealt with too many intrusions. Taking control of the former Empire was not a decision he would have like to have had to make. He felt it was the only way he could prevent any further Galactic Civil War. It hurt him even more deeply that his friends in the Alliance had abandoned him. Even his own sister, Leia had told him he was making a mistake. He felt in the force what he thought was right. Now with all these problems he had his doubts.

"Overlord Skywalker," said a young and worried looking officer over his comm, "you have...ummm...someone wants to speak with you..."

"Make an appointment..." Skywalker said.

"He...um...demanded to be brought to you, Overlord...ummm...sir." The officer sounded very worried now,"He killed two of our officers to get to me...he looks angry...and he's holding a light...ummm...saber?"

"Sigh...On my way..." Skywalker rose from his desk and left the room at a rapid pace, robes as black as his temper, flailing behind him as Peacekeepers moved to clear from his path.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
(I'm posting as Jolee Jinn too, Appo...)

"He's...umm...on his way, Sir..." the young officer, a Lieutenant named Farr said, "can you...ummm...deactivate...the weapon..."

"Once I'm sure it's Skywalker and not some trap." Jolee Jinn said, lightsaber blade still close to Lt. Farr's neck.
"I've killed enough Peacekeepers today."

The sound of the door hissing open interrupted the exchange.

"Yes, yes you have. Perhaps we can speak in private?" Overlord Skywalker was quick to cover his emotions before the intruder.

"Why not here?" asked Jinn.

"Because my Lieutenant has work to do today, and this effects Peacekeeper morale. I'm sure we can both reach an agreement that would satisfy all parties involved." Skywalker was all calm and relaxed, his voice smooth and even.

"I...I...see..." Jolee Jinn felt far more relaxed now, and was very willing to talk to Skywalker. "Yes...all parties...that...would...be...nice"

"Good..." Skywalker smiled.

The two force users left Lt. Farr rubbing his slightly burned neck. He could still smell his burnt neck hair in his nostrils. Skywalker paused and turned around.

"Lieutenant?" He asked.

"...ummmm...yes...yessir...umm...Overlord Skywalker, sir?" Lieutenant Farr heard rumors amid some of the other Peacekeeper officers that Skywalker was somehow related to Vader. The thought frightened him.

"I want you to collect the officers on duty at the sensor, communication, tractor beam, and forcefield control stations at the time of this particular guests arrival..." Skywalker paused, waiting for the Lieutenants confirmation.

"Umm...yessir..." Lt. Farr acknowledged.

"...and inform each of them..." Skywalker paused again for emphasis.

"...yes...ummm...Overlord?..."

"...of their demotions to latrine and kitchen duty..." Skywalker continued.

"gulp...umm yes, sir" the Lieutenant gulped loudly.

"...effective immediately..." Skywalker smiled.

"Yes...yessir...O-Overlord Skywalker, sir." the Lieutenant appeared both relieved and upset at the same time.

"Next time, I may not be so generous, Lieutenant." Skywalker turned and left, visitor in tow.

"Yessir..." Lt. Farr stammered.

(Ok, im going to give this 1st person stuff a try)

I stand, almost completely still. My lightsaber's hilt is about a foot above the water. The fish pulls up, then, more quickly as if the damn thing had been anticipating me it looks up. I see its muscles begin to tense "Not this time." I say, as I activate the blade. It rushes out, hiting the fish right at the back of the skull. It begins to twitch and shake in death, and I manage to pull it out of the water, its large, and heavy. The meat should last until someone finds me. After I place the fish near my things, I run and check to see if the distress signal is on. It is. I return, and begin to skin the fish, I will be eating well tonight.

(I dont like it back to 3rdfor me )

(ZONCXS SEV! SOME ONE PICK ME UP...or should I just fly off on my own?)

(I was hoping i could make up a small drifiting planet that was close to the moon Ne'kad is on)

(MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!!!)

Kharn could feel the taint radiating off this man, he had become quite skilled at putting on his armor quickly and he did, pulling the helmet on last. He drew his double bladed lightsaber. "Stop sith!" He comanaded in as strong a voice as he could muster.

"Lower your weapon master jedi I mean you no harm I recieved a distress beacon emanating from this region and came to rescue you, besides I am no longer a SITH LORD, I have long since changed my ways since the collapse of the CIS forces upon themselves. Now hop aboard quickly, we need to head to  coruscant."

(sory SD07, i cant let you do that, it would kill Kharn's future )

"Liar." Kahrn hised, as he charged.  The sith was faster then he thought, and raised his saber quickly. Kharn deactivated one of the blades as it passed the Sith's reactivating it as soon as it was clear. The sith dodged the suprise attack. Kharn pushed him back with the force, and managed to disarm him. He kicked the knee, bringing him down. Kharn snapped his saber into two parts, as he had made it to do so. He held them up looking into the sith's eyes, and with a quick twist of his wrists, sent them at the sith in a strike that would decapitate him. The sith leaned back, changing the would be decapitation to a burn on his neck. He fliped back to his speeder and retrived his saber with the force, and fled. Kharn looked down, and in the water, saw his reflection. Something was wrong with his eyes.
