Villa Fortuna - Outside of Theed
Days had come and gone, and while the crew of "The Wayward Son" were easy enough to keep track of, the only remaining member of Vash's prize group - the former-Jedi, Adieumus Matango - had evaded detection. Completely. Which was difficult to do. Vash, himself, was actually becoming frustrated with the idea that one man with such a well-known face and disposition could go completely unnoticed in the galaxy. There were worlds out there that remained cut-off. Places where people could lay low and evade detection. Vash had already narrowed the list down considerably, since the movements of the rest of the galaxy tended to keep Jedi-on-the-run a bit more "hemmed in". The Bothan could scarcely believe that even on those planets, word hadn't left from any of them that they saw some "mysterious new traveler" lurking about.*
*Jedi and their karking self-exiles.*
*It was going on Day 5 now. Vash had a rule. If an individual cannot be found within seven days, it's time to strike out and "beat the bushes" a bit. And the Bothan really hated that rule; mostly because "striking out" meant he had to put himself out there, and "out there" was a place he would much rather not be. His life was one of anonymity. If he had to start name-dropping and information-gathering, that shroud would be lifted, and he could face certain types of exposure. No, it couldn't be allowed. He had to maintain that separation, no matter the cost.*
*Whether it was by luck or fortuitous circumstance, the Bothan suddenly received an update from one of his algorithmic matrices that he had set up, monitoring the holonet for any news of the blonde-haired blunder. But wait...that couldn't be right. Here? The moron decided to actually show his face here? Vash checked his source tech, then double-checked it for good measure. It was valid. Security cameras had scanned him coming into the Theed spaceport not one hour ago. Vash supposed the reason that information was delayed was because of the overwhelming amount of processing that his network was doing. Seeing as his target had suddenly appeared before him, he decided to re-task the larger portion of that computing power toward tracking Adi's current movements on Naboo. The results came astoundingly-fast as several "pings" began listing his current movements over a plethora of cameras and satellites. Accessing his neural uplink, Vash once again found himself inside his "Library" -- and the footage started rolling in. Adi leaving the starport, the crazed cab driver, his chosen traveling companion - which was identified as none other than the Jedi Master, Raven Alora. How was it that someone within the Order such as Master Alora would be found in the company of a known terrorist, gallivanting around as if nothing were amiss? He swore he saw the pair of them, smiling, carrying on as if the man wasn't responsible for multiple murders. Odd. Odd, indeed.*
*The last set of security cams to catch the presence of Adi and Alora was one that was in front of one of the nicer hotels in the city. Vash recognized the place. It was one that had some decent security in it; but, as with pretty much every establishment in Naboo, he already had a work-around built into their system. It took a few seconds before he had access to their cams, but within minutes, Vash was already cataloging the footage from the last two hours. More facial recognition scans and confirmations, profiling data, and so on. Also, Vash's suspicions were confirmed when he saw the reappearance of the impressive robo-cat's coding popping back up again. This time, it seemed as though it were responsible for modifying the hotel's registry.
"...The Honeymoon Suite? Adi, you dog..."
Something else was interesting...Vash had found a set of cameras that weren't on the hotel's system. They were bantha-backing the signal on one of the hotel's several hP's (holonet Protocols). Interesting. Vash moved forward, using a basic looping hack to crack the stand-alone system in mere seconds. Obviously, these guys weren't worried about security. What he saw when the cameras fired up was...interesting. And too incredibly-familiar.*
*There were several cameras spread out across the room. Bed area, floor space, the patio area...the shower was an interesting spot, seeing as someone was apparently using it. Vash ignored that, mainly because he recognized another person in the room itself - Adieumus. The Jedi was sitting near the patio, covered in some sort of chalky substance. Laying on the floor appeared to be the remnants of a lamp. Vash's curiosity would have been piqued; however, he knew this room. Where had he seen it before?*
*When it dawned on him, Vash almost slapped himself. This was a room that he'd seen some of his more-recent amateur porno coming in that he was using on his multiple websites. He'd been paying for the footage, and then redistributing it on his networks. No wonder there were so many cameras. One of which appeared to be missing - obviously, the one that was situated in the ceiling. Well, the group that was responsible would have to find "employment" elsewhere. Now, he had the source technology. And, with a few more days, he'd have the evidence necessary to blackmail them out of the operation. Regardless, Vash now had 24 hour surveillance on the pair. And furthermore, he could likely task any of the city's hovercams to continue said surveillance on them, if needed. He would continue to watch the system, though. Compiling his information before he started the process of brokering it out to the highest bidder. Not only the authorities, but, whoever else it was that stood to gain from Adi's capture. Vash knew a few bounty hunters that might pay to get their hands on such information, most-assuredly.

Raven leaned out of the bathroom, in only a towel, and tried to calm Adi down. Wait, no...scratch that...calm the BAG down....
If it wasn't for the fact that Adieumus truly feared for his very life from the demonic luggage, he may have actually taken notice of the very attractive, dripping wet woman talking to him from behind only a towel. However, he -was-, unfortunately, fearing for his life...and now she was asking him to OPEN the thing? Oh KRIFF NO!!! DOUBLE kriffin' no. There was no way, no how, it just wasn't gonna happen like that."How about NOPE?!?!? It's going to EAT ME!! Why the kriffin' kriff would I even -consider- going CLOSER to it?!?!? I would rather invade Mandalore alone than open that possessed, demonic satchel!!"The knock at the door was louder now, the person making the room service delivery was probably wondering what was going on behind the door. The bag had stopped jumping, but it cooed now, sending Adi from the chair in flight, screaming the whole way through the air, as he leapt for the delicate light fixture hanging high above on the ceiling. Grabbing hold of it, he held on with both his arms and legs. If that blue, evil monstrosity wanted to take a bite out of his behind, it would have to jump up -here- to do it.
Another knock, and this time, it sounded like the one on the other side of the door was going to knock it off the hinges. On top of it, the comlink on the nightstand started to ring, due to the next door neighbors reporting a disturbance. All Adi could do was try to calm things down by yelling to the delivery person on the other side of the door."Be there in a moment!!" Yea, right...THAT was a total lie....He wasn't going ANYWHERE until that bag from the depths of Hades was elsewhere.
As he spoke to the person that had brought the food, Adi didn't notice the plaster cracking around the top of the light fixture he was so precariously hanging from. As he shifted his weight, to get a better grip, one of the two bolts holding the light to the ceiling gave way, jolting it's new resident. Right about this moment is when Matango realized that this light probably wasn't meant to hold a two-hundred pound adult, let alone one panicking so badly as Adi was at this moment. The Arkanian looked up, and gulped hard. He started to curse his luck out loud, but wasn't quite able to finish it..."Oh...Shi......"With a crack, the second bolt gave way, and light fixture, Adieumus, and a ton of broken plaster was sent careening downward.
The light fixture stopped for just a moment, jerking to a halt, and causing the man to dangle helplessly as the wires that gave it power came to the end of their length. They didn't hold the weight long either, and Adieumus ended up flat on his back on the floor with an unceremonious crash. The once proud light fixture had smashed into bits as it hit the floor as well, sending small chunks of glass crystals in all directions.
Unable to move, Adi just laid on the floor, and groaned. The blue bag had hopped quickly over to him, and onto his chest. The Arkanian was now frozen in fear, pain, and embarrassment...and simply could NOT move. He was to the point where he couldn't even scream anymore. Whatever this bag was going to do to him, well...it was going to happen. The silence filled the room, as the knocking stopped, and the commlink stopped buzzing. He could hear the zipper of the leather satchel begin to slide open, and he closed his eyes, bracing himself for his violent and horrible end.
But, it never came.
Instead, he felt an indignant puff of breath on his face, and he opened his eyes to find a rather annoyed tailring staring right back at him. Taking one breath, then one more, a nervous chuckle began to build in his chest. Realizing that Adi wasn't going to be of any help, the small creature dashed out of the bag, and hid under the bed. Rolling over, and getting to his feet, Matango went to the door, opening it and holding his back, wincing in pain."Sorry bout that...You guys really need to send maintenance up here...I think there is a problem with the overhead light. Might need a new bulb or something."The young man's slack jawed expression at the plaster dust covered Arkanian, and the disaster scene in the room behind him. Calmly reaching over, he took the electronic pad from the guy, signed his name, and brought the cart into the room. Giving the man a fairly nice tip, Adi smiled, and shut the door."Food's here, Raven! Um, I think we better eat, and then go somewhere to let them clean up the room. Such shoddy construction, I'm tellin' ya!!"Walking over to the glass patio doors, Adi took the cart, and put it alongside the table. Sitting down, not bothering to even brush himself off in his pride, he waited for Raven to finish up with her shower. What...did...you...do? Alora's voice sounded more awed than angry. Where once stood a crisp, beautiful scene of a very lavish room- now faltered a view likened to rubble after a bombing- all be it, it was a very sparkly destruction site. The small Jedi looked up to the ceiling, which now sported a hole with squiggly wires peeking out nervously. She carefully tip toed around the sharp glass and bent metal bracing until she reached her destination on the other side of the table from Adi. You should learn to trust me- you know, if we're going to be working together. Raven commented, almost sounding hurt that he would let his fear get the better of him, rather than listening to her. Sighing, she looked down and analyzed her sandwich for a moment.I would never, purposefully, put you in harms way Aduiemus. I just want you to know that, regardless of how silly this incident may be. She said, rather sincerely. Catching a glimpse of raven, the small sand dragon darted out from under the bed, flitted to the Jedi's shoulder and wrapped her long tail around Raven's right arm. The black and gold creature folded her wings neatly and tilted her head, as if amused- or even disappointed in the man across the table. Hey girl. Sorry for keeping you cooped up in there. Here you go- something to get back on your good side, and to reward you for not eating Adieumus here. Raven pinched off a piece of Neerf meat from her sandwich and offered it to the little dragon- who sniffed it cautiously, then quickly snapped it up in satisfaction.
Raven, then took her tern to eat, and though she attempted to be polite and careful- she'd not eaten all day, and perhaps part of the former day. Stress had clearly taken it's tole on the woman, but she looked 10 times better after the shower. Her long brown hair hung in unbound waves down her back and shoulders, and her small brown eyes- which had looked almost distant through the whole ordeal on Yavin, now looked refreshed and bright.We could take the opportunity to look for our mystery person. She suggested, glancing out of the window.It'll keep me from getting distracted by this interesting city. |

There was, if one looked hard enough, a man in the crowd that did not belong; his formal hat worn low to shield the eyes, the suited man - the nameless man who went only by "Locke" - slowly and unhurriedly made his way through the foot traffic of Theed. Unnoticed, he slipped through doors and between pedestrians much like a ghost, neither his presence or his form drawing attention; indeed, with his unremarkable suit and stoic demeanor, he was identical to practically every other sentient on business between the Core and the Outer Rim. Except...that he wasn't. His step and gait flawlessly rehearsed, his gestures smooth and unassuming, even a trained intelligence officer would find it hard to believe that the man was a spy - that the man carried deadly weapons on his person and his briefcase was filled with highly illegal surveillance equipment. Even a force-sensitive would find the man an enigma - his Epicanthix physiology was alien and foreign, and his mind virtually immune to mental powers; even if the man told a blatant and obvious truth, no force user would be able to divine its veracity.
And so the man walked, unhindered and unmolested, a shadow, a ghost, a veritable whisper - hidden in plain sight for all to see.
Around and around the man walked, doubling back, tripling back, ducking through random stores before exiting quickly. The man's training was strong, and the need to shake a tail, even an invisible one, was practically obsessive. There could, after all, be no mistakes. For it only took a single one to undue someones life. Eventually satisfied that no one was following him, the suited man ducked into a cantina, and made his way to the back - taking a seat in a poorly lit booth towards the back. The booth faced the cantina's front entrance, with its back against the cantina's far wall; to the suited man's left, about two meters, was the cantina's back exit, which led to a dark alley behind the cantina. Silently, calmly, the man took out his datapad, looking over the details of the job offer. He had been told, through clandestine channels, that there was work to be had here on Naboo; his contact had arranged a meeting between the suited man and his mystery employer. No other details were given. The suited man was used to this, the nature of his profession was, by very definition, a game of cat and mouse. He had been assured, however, that his employer had been given a counter-sign. The suited man would ask the sign "Do you have any spare energy cells for a datapad?", his employer would reply with the countersign "No, I don't. But let me buy you a drink instead."
If all went well...and it very well might not...the man in the suit would have work soon.

"The quality of workmanship is shoddy for such a nice place....I didn't do it...the light just fell...Almost killed me, too. As for trusting you? I would trust you in anything at all, aside from possessed carry on bags."
The first part of the statedment was a total farce, and he spoke in a manner showing that he was just too embarrassed that a full grown adult had been frightened nearly to wetting himself by a small animal...A tailring....Adi had been scared by an animal that a seven year old girl had as a pet, and played with on a daily basis.....well, she wasn't seven anymore, but she had been when she visited Honoghr. He =was= jumpy....That was something he would have to work on. As he ate his steak, the little creature stared at him coldly, as if it =would= have eaten him, if it had the chance. The second part of the statement was to kind of apologize for creating such a mess. Deciding to make a peace offering, he handed a piece of the nerf steak to Raven for the tailring...It WAS a gorgeous animal, the scales shining in the small amount of light.
Besides, it was better to be safe than sorry.
He agreed with Raven as he finished his meal...perhaps it was indeed time to start looking for their mystery man. After getting cleaned up, and dressed in a fresh pair of shorts and a black t-shirt, they headed out into the street, and down to the building that was indicated on the datapad that I'vaya had given them. It took only a few minutes, and they arrived at their destination. It was an upscale tenement hall, for people who had the money for it. The desk attendant indeed knew of the man, but also informed them that he had not seen him for some time now. There was a flat on the fourth floor that the man was still renting, however, and the rent was current for the next six months.
That meant it was just a waiting game.
After leaving a comlink number for the man to contact them, should he return soon, Adi exited the building.
"Well, that's that. We have but to wait now. The guy inside definitely knew who we are looking for, but doesn't know his name."
Adi's comlink beeped, and a message from MICRO came through. He was unsuccessful in his mission to find the source of the signal in orbit, but he -had- noticed a signal tracking him every time he logged onto the holoweb. Apparently, someone else was interested in their movements. Matango gave him orders to try to track down the signal's source if the small droid could, by logging on to the web randomly to try to track the person from the other side by using their own tracer program against them. Who would be able to track the advanced A-AI controlled droid's movements like that? More importantly, who would be interested enough to do so in the first place?
They would have to find out.
"We are being tracked, Raven...why, I don't know yet, but someone is following MICRO's movements. We need to be seen a bit, if we are to figure out who it is. Until our contact comes back here, we have little else to do anyway. Whaddaya think?"

Raven handed the tailring the meat Adi had given her and the creature snapped it up as well, cocking her head at Adi a bit, then completely ignoring him.
After the meal, they made their way from the hotel. As they walked outside, Meekah kept her tiny claws firmly latched onto the Jedi's shoulder and her tale around Raven's arm, but unfurled her wings slightly- allowing her black scaled body to soak up as much warm sunlight as possible. Raven Looked over at Adi with a smile.
It's good you believe me. I have a feeling that- if we're to continue on together, there's going to have to be a lot of trust between us. After all, The Jedi order is after you, and I still happen to be a Jedi.
It was alright though- she supposed. She doubted she was still a member of the high council, and that was ok too, because she tended to zone out during meetings- and the last one she'd brought Zendora along...
That was a disaster ....
Raven waited outside very nice building Adi went to investigate- not sure how they would feel about animals in plain view, and the sand dragon wanted some activity- so while Adi asked about their mystery contact, Raven allowed Meekah to hop around in the grassy lawn out front of the building- which she enjoyed very much. however, as soon as the Arkanian left the establishment, the tailring arched her back, glared at him, and darted back up Raven's arm, causing the Jedi to laugh softly.
I have no idea why she's being like that. She's normally friendly to everyone.
Alora listened closely as Adieumus explained that they were being tracked- or at least Adi's cat droid. She Shrugged slightly, but did cast her eyes here and there as if she may see something- fruitlessly.
So- we want them to find us? Raven questioned, pondering for a moment. I mean, I suppose that makes sense. Then we'll know who they are and that's a good thing- unless they bully us into submission first, or shoot us.
She grinned. But honestly- they're probably after you- not me.

Loki surveyed the sprawl of Theed, its spires and old fashion architecture mixed with modern amenities, a truly gorgeous city, the jewel of Naboo. Loki stood out amongst the locals, his black space suit, his ruddy skin tone, the tribal tattoos etched into his face, and he was clearly the tallest being around, aside perhaps Bonmi back at the ship. Loki looked over his shoulder wondering what the others would think of his sudden departure. Leaving offered him two things the chance to find Adi, and a breather from faking something he wasn’t, still walking slowly waiting for another nudge, his thoughts turn inwards.
Loki stood on the bridge of his flagship looking out at the glowing orb that was Endor, a most historic site for this his finest hour, the death of his brother was at hand, and only one thing stood in the way, the Shadow fleet. Loki nodded at Teague who gave an ordered command, the planetary bombardment had begun as Loki’s fleet of ships opened fire, raining death on both the fleet of the Shadows and the planet as well. Loki felt his brother coming as the destroyer next to his own was shattered with bristling fire from the opposing fleet. Loki gave the order to not intercept the freighter flying for their docking area, let them board, let them in he thought, his hands clenched and unclenched as he turned and picked up his golden helmet and placed it upon his head.
It wasn’t long before his brother and his little friends arrived on the bridge, having faced a token resistance, Loki had been to inwardly focused to see his fleet being decimated by the enemy it was of little concern when his pray was at hand, he turned to face the doors as Teague cowered behind a console the doors slid open soundlessly and in charged three men, Kel’an, Dash and Christopher McDonald, his brothers ever loyal cronies. “I see you brought your dogs to die as well Dash.” Loki hissed as he ignited his duel bladed lightsaber, both blades as black as his heart, no more talk from him now as Dash and Chris nodded to eachother and Kel’an charged right at Loki, such anger for a Jedi, Loki parried the blow and send the boy flying against a bulkhead as the Mandalorian Jedi came from the left and Dash from the right, Loki jumped and flipped back to avoid them coming down on top of a console in a crouch, his extra weight and armor causing it to spark, he snarls as they charge forward once more, Kel’an this time from the rear, Loki parries Dashes blow and kicks him back towards the doors as Kel’an scores a blow across Loki’s armored forearm, Loki turns and shoots lighting from his finger tips. forcing Kel’an and the Mando back, Loki presses his attack, sending the Mando flying and going blow for blow against the boy. Loki sees his opening disarming the young Jedi and slicing his head from his shoulders he hears roars of anguish from both men as he turns to face the Mando and his brother.
Loki and Dash charge forward both using the force to try and push the other back, Chris comes swinging low, Loki ducks but his sent into a console by his brother, his helmet falling from his head, he stands the sneer is no longer present he lets out a wail, forcing the two to cover their ears as he charges forward once more, giving more and more into the rage, he uses the force and slams the Mando into a bulkhead knocking him senseless as he turns on his brother, once more they trade blows Loki once more sees an opening and slams the hilt of his blade against his brothers face then cutting him in half, then again as he falls. Suddenly he feels a sharp pain along his side, looking down he sees a blue light saber rip out his side, he coughs and turns around to face this new threat he eyes the Mando warily, watching the tears stream down his face as his two closest friends were just cut down. Loki sneers and uses the force to lift the pieces of Dashes corpse, he releases them when the Mando charges, his ferocity unmatched, Loki is thrown on the defensive he feels a searing pain in his hands and watches his saber clatter to the floor along with a few fingers, Loki screams in rage but Chris blasts him with the force sending him flying once more, Loki stands and charges, pulling a single bladed red hilted saber from his robes, he ignites it and roars a battle cry. He slams into Chris and they trade blows, Loki slips and feels a piercing pain in his eye, half the world goes dark, it doesn’t go deep, but then the pain in his chest. So near his heart he gasps as he falls backwards. No, he thinks this cannot be, defeated by a mere Jedi, no. He thinks as the world goes black.
Loki shakes his head, thoughts best forgotten, he feels a nudge once more, and heads towards the eastern part of the city, this is where Adi is, and perhaps understanding, or change. Loki banishes the thoughts from his head and turns his leisurely walk into a more, brisk one. Wondering what the future holds.

6 Months ago on Honoghr.........
E`yame stood in front of the punching bag bouncing from foot to foot. Her mind flashed back to the very moment Trynna kidnapped her. She couldn't believe she had been so weak. She clenched her fist feeling her muscles tighten in her hand and arm as she swiftly and gracefully pulled her arm up and back and zeroed in on the punching bag. Letting out her held breath she released her arm swinging it forward and hitting the bag hard. When her fist connected to the punching bag, she unintentionally used the force making it fly off the chain and hit the wall, exploding on impact. Groaning in frustration she threw her hands up, stomped her foot and spun away from where the punching bag was and stalked over to the targets. Reaching over towards the silver metal table, she picked up 5 knives. For some reason, knives were her go to weapon. She turned away from the target and closed her eyes. She inhaled a huge gulp of air, as her mind flew to the first newscast. ADIEUMUS MATANGO MISSING! She exhaled. Spinning around she released the knives, opening her eyes, and watched the knives soar through the air and hit the bullseye. Each and every one. Her eyes glance over to the table and rest on the daily newspaper. ADIEUMUS MATANGO STILL MISSING, PRONOUNCED DEAD!. E`yame scuffed, if her father was dead, she would know it. Her mind started racing. Or would she, she knew she wasn't as good as her father was with the force. Maybe she missed it. All because she was a failure. She would never be as good as him. She slumped to the ground and began to hyperventilate. "Why does this keep happening" she mustered between breaths. She was stronger than this. She closed her eyes and tried to slow her breathing as tears began to form.
Wiping away the traitorous tears, she closed her eyes and tried to listen to the force. Looking for any sign of her father, a glimmer of hope showed up in the form of a feeling. She couldn't explain it to herself or anyone if they asked but she knew in that instant he was alive. Suddenly she became pissed. She realized why she couldn't feel him from the first time, he was blocking her. Everyone thought he was dead, why wouldn't he let her know he was alive?? Jumping to her feet, she headed to her dad's storage. Opening up the cabinet, she took a look at his weapon collection. She couldn't help but smile. Her dad was an asshole but he did appreciate a good weapon. She grabbed an amazing pair of silver katanas forged by a Jedi Master. The hilts were wrapped in blue with a glowing blue stunstrip running up the spines. There was a sticker underneath where they lay that read 10,000 volts. She smiled as she looked for the sabers. She smiled when she spotted them. There was one that looked so amazing, it had a black phrik hilt with an orange crystal and she just had to have it. Reaching for it she hit the button as it activated immediately. Feeling like a giddy school girl, she whipped around and drew the blade downward cutting a wooden table in half. She laughed hard while deactivating the Saber and sat in the chair. She had to figure out a way to get some knives. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, she got up to answer it, only to be met with a messenger to deliver a letter. What was this, the 21st century? The letter had no return sender.. She didn't know who sent it, but she opened the letter anyway.
Dear E`yame,
It is with great urgency that you receive this letter. It must be burned after you read it. No one else must know, for it would mean death to a lot of people. Your father is alive and I am tracking him.
Safe travels
Inside the letter was a cargo ship number and amount of men on it and what they were hauling. She knew what she would have to do.
E`yame made her way to her bedroom. She stripped off her clothes and put on her "normal" wear. Slipping on her black combat boots felt like going home. Her real home...with her dad. She quickly packed all of her stuff that fit in one bag. That was it, that was all she owned. Grabbing the weapons she picked from Adieumus' collection, she put them on, clipping the lightsaber to her belt. She left her room and the house and didn't even bother to look back. She was going to find her father, even if he killed her himself. She snuck into the spaceport, trying to not draw attention to herself. Slinking in the shadows, she made her way to a ship that would take her to the planet that she needed to be on. Suddenly, a security officer was staring at her. Silently cursing herself, she noticed it was one of Ice's guards. He started making his way to her as more of the guards took notice of her too. This was why she was hiding at the house. Ice has been trying to get hold of her to get information on Adieumus. Then she remembered the letter that she forgot to burn, that was in her back pocket. Quickly tearing it up, she shoved it in her mouth and swallowed, her hand moving toward the lightsaber on her hip. She desperately wished she had knives. She was ok with the saber, but she never missed with knives. The guards started moving towards her, drawing their riot control batons. Her hand grabbed the hilt of the lightsaber and unhooked it from her belt. She slid into the stance that she knew all too well. As the main guard raised his baton, she activated the lightsaber, cutting it in half, crouching down like a Vornskr about to strike as they surrounded her. She had a huge smile on her face as they all pulled out their guns. Spinning around, she activated and deactivated the lightsaber at the right time to injure their legs enough but not cut them off. This was one of her father's trademark maneuvers, learned by Eya at an early age from watching him. As they all lay on the ground in pain, she walked over to the main guard, grabbing him by the hair and lifted his face to hers. "If Ice wants me, tell her she can come get me herself." Leaning in, she kissed him on the cheek. She let his head go and watched it smack on the ground, knocking him out. When the coast was clear, she ran and jumped on the ship and hid, hoping no one on the ship was a force user. She needed to be able to stay hidden and she was not in the mood to leave a trail of bodies. When the ship lifted off, she couldn't help but smile to herself. "Good Bye Honoghr" she whispered to herself as she slunk down in her hiding spot. The only way she would ever go back there, is if her father was by her side, and they were gonna be too busy burning the universe down. As she looked out the window, she remembered the very few moments with her dad. She hated him for leaving her behind but this was her chance to show him what she could do...To be by his side....To show him that she was better. As the stars flew by the window, she could only imagine her reunion, would he even recognize her? With her mother missing or dead, E`yame was all alone. She would not be alone anymore, even if she had to force him to let her by his side.
6 Months ago on Naboo........
E`yame sat on the beach and sighed. Here she was, on Naboo, where she was told that her father was. She had no clue where to go or when to meet him. She had no clue who sent the letter or where to find them. Frustrated, she pushed her hands into the sand and grabbed fistfulls and used the force to turn it into glass. Dropping one on to her lap, she started playing with the one piece of glass until it looked like a knife. Getting excited, she threw it at a tree and watched it sail and sink right into the trunk. As she went to reach for the other piece of glass, she heard movement in her bag. Carefully opening up the bag, a small head popped out. "God, why does it smell like a whore house in here?" E`yame surprised jumped back but then leaned forward. "What are you?" she asked and picked him up by his robe. He was so small and practically adorable. "Hey, hands off the merchandise!" E`yame couldn't help but laugh. She didn't know what or who he was but she already liked it. She carefully sat him down on top of her bag. "The name is Zion and thanks for the ride." E`yame suddenly recognized his face as Zion who ran the Honoghr Conclave. "What happened, how did you get so small?" Zion stretched, cracking his bones. "What do you mean, I have always been this small. I am a clone, duh." Suddenly Zion was lifted up and put on E`yame's shoulder. "I think you would be much more comfortable up there instead of in my bag." She smiled at him and grabbed her bag and the glass and started making her way up the beach. "where are we going" Zion asked. E`yame stood there for a moment, closing her eyes and felt with the force for her father. Suddenly a feeling came over her and she started heading that way. "I am going to find my dad, would you like to come with?" He smiled at her "Wherever you go, I go" he said and sat down on her shoulder and started humming the gummy bear song. E`yame laughed and kept walking. "I think I am going to call you Zee" she said and he smiled. "Ok with me"

They had made reservations, and shown up, to several places in Theed, but to no avail. MICRO was unable to get a trace on any more of the anomalies. Either the one/ones scanning for them were inactive, or they were onto Adi and MICRO's ploy. Either way, it was getting nowhere fast. Besides, something was nagging at Adieumus....there were familiar auras here, one in particular. But, she shouldn't be here...There was no way for her to know that Adi was here. Besides that, the other familiar presence was barely noticeable.
It was, however, most CERTAINLY there.
It was the prudent thing to do to try and pinpoint the one that was seemingly trying to hide his aura. By that fact alone, they were the largest threat....and there could be more. Adi had an ace up his sleeve, however....they didn't expect him to be actually coming at -them-. Instead, he sent MICRO out to look for anyone familiar in the beach area to the north of the city, near the Palace. The cat replica droid was only a few blocks away from there anyway, and no one from Honoghr would even know who the droid was. To them? It would just appear another stray cat, looking for a food handout, or a scratch behind the ears.
He then turned to Raven.
"Someone's here. I can feel them. They are trying to hide, but they are familiar to me. They stick out among the calm here in Theed. Darkness rages within them. No matter how they try to hide, they aren't able to hide the cold, unyielding anger they contain.
If they are here, they are more than likely here for me. I think I'll go say hi...whaddaya think?"
Adi tried to hide his rising concern with a little bit of humor. It's how he handled most any situation of the sort. Why lose your humor, when it might very well be the last time you ever laugh? Better to go out with a smile, rather than in fear.

Loki feels a sudden change in the nudge, almost a spike of awareness of it, it doesn’t become a flood but its sudden burst reveals more than what the nudge ever could have and it was coming closer, Loki took out his commlink then thought better of it. He decides to close the gap, he isn’t one hundred percent sure its Adi, but it feels like him, and if it bee lining right for him that means perhaps after all these years Loki was not forgotten by the former Jedi. |

Sinina wandered along, the grey skinned woman wasn't sure what exactly had drawn her here, but draw it did, she was dressed in a fairly plain gown that fell down most the way to her ankles, she kept her eyes moving, she may look plain and innocent, but she wasn't unable to defend herself. she had her long blonde hair intricately done in a Nubian style. Other then the grey skin that put her as out of place she would have looked almost like Nubian Royalty. She frowns as she spotted the very noticeable and very out of place looking Zabrak, now those were not normally seen here. She follows him discreetly as one that stood out as much as she would could.

NCO grew tired of waiting, and left his comm code with Raxxie and went for a walk. He walked through Naboo, heading for a shop he only distantly remembered. But he hadn't gone far when he saw E'yame Matango walking through the crowd, with a very small, but other wise identical clone, or replica droid, of master Zion of Honoghr. Those faces he'd, never seen before in person, though he had taken the time to memorize them years ago, before a little raid with a crew not terribly dissimilar from the one he was with now, except there were less jetii. It had been a bag of mixed results, but most pirate raids were, and now he wasn't certain that his stumbling upon E'yame wasn't a similar bag of mixed opportunities. NCO gave no visible reaction to the girl, as he walked across the street, about half a block in front of her, and entered a narrow side street, walking down it's length calmly enough. Though his emotions now raged a violent war with his mind, emotion dictated he continue on his walk and see vengeance served. Hid logical mind however, reminded him he was here to find a man, that some news sources claimed was Adieumus Matango... A fact he had disregarded as mere rumor mongering until now. He could settle his score here later, they'd waited this long for him they could wait a little longer.
NCO found a network hub and patched himself into the local security footage of the city, looking through the nearest cams, he was able to find E'yame again with only a little trouble, since she didn't seem to be avoiding surveillance. He almost left to pursue her on foot, but then thought better of it, and instead headed for the nearest speeder rental. This would be dicey, but if he played his card right, he might get things taken care of a bit faster than previously anticipated. Further querying of the security footage reveals both the Zabrak we picked up just before departure from Bastion, and Adi. Plotting the sightings on a map in my HUD I saw that they were moving, more or less, on collision courses. I knew I wanted to be at the collision site, if only to watch the show. Still he owed E'yame for starting this entire investigation, so he'd bring her to the show, if she wanted to come that is.
NCO browsed the available speeders and settled on an old, but well maintained Twin-228 airspeeder. Less than five minutes later, he was parking just ahead of E'yame and her very little friend. As they walked by NCO turned his helmeted snout towards her, and asked if she wanted a lift.
"Need a lift? Adi doesn't have all day you know."

Approximately ten minutes before the events in NonCom's post....
His comlink beeped, and Matango opened a holopicture message from MICRO....The cat had indeed made contact with someone quite unexpected. E`yame was here on Naboo, in Theed....and she was heading this way. Muttering under his breath, Adi knew he had to make contact with the other one he had felt.
Making his way in the general direction of the spaceport, Adi felt the other presence begin to move toward him. Yep....he was correct. They indeed were on their way toward him. It was oddly familiar...like Adi had crossed paths with this one before. There were questions that needed answered, like 'Why were they here...why was there a darksider looking for Adi in the first place??
Most importantly, why was Adieumus suddenly craving a steak???
He rounded a corner, and before he even realized who it was, Matango knew. There was a very large Zabrak standing head and shoulders above the crowd milling about through the streets. He stood out like a sore thumb. It was an individual who had once put the Arkanian through a building for food he deemed improperly prepared. That was one time that Adi was a little miffed at Ice for inviting someone like that to dinner.
The Zabrak's name was Lord Loki, and his appearance was an omen of one of two things to come...Big trouble, or good times. Either way, it would be fun.
Not even bothering to really hide himself anymore, he stepped right in front of Loki.
"I'd say let's go get a steak, but I am still in psychotherapy from the last time. May I ask why you are here, Lord Loki?"
It was approached with humor externally, but the blonde haired man was most certainly on his guard...even if it did not appear to be such on the outside. He was just about to say something else to Loki when he was bumped from behind by someone moving really rapidly past them. Thinking nothing of it, he looked up at the big red beast in front of him, awaiting an answer.

Currently on Naboo
E`yame started walking towards the city and noticed a cat with no tail out of the corner of her eye. "Here kitty kitty" she heard Zee say and shook her head. She did not need another mouth to feed. It was weird how it kept staring at her though. "Shoo" she said and stomped her foot at it. The cat took off and she smiled. "No animals" she said to Zee and continued walking. She needed to find her father and some food. As she was walking, she spotted a hot dog stand and used the force to lift up a hot dog and fly towards her. Breaking off a third of it, she handed it to Zee. "Thief" he said before he bit into it and smiled. She couldn't help but like the little guy. She poked him in the stomach and put him on her knee so he could eat more comfortably. As they finished up their meal, she noticed the cat was there again staring at her. What was with the thing. She had a little bite left and threw it at the cat, hoping it would finally leave her alone. She got up and kept moving in the direction of her father. Seeing a big dome like structure up ahead, she decided she would stop there to take their next break. As she got closer, she spotted a very large zabrak. He was probably 7 feet tall. They were supposed to be foul, evil creatures. She noticed that he was looking at his com and decided that she was gonna need money somehow and knew what she would have to do. Standing up, she grabbed Zee and put him in her bag. "Stay there, we might need to run" she said and zipped up the bag most of the way. "oh god, we are gonna die" she heard him muffle through the bag. Making sure her boots were tied tight, she took off running towards him and quickly grabbed one of his lightsabers and took off, bumping into the man talking to him. She could get some money for it. She could feel the force build behind her as she was running. She let it build around herself to use force shield. Before she knew, the lightsaber flew out of her hand and back into his. She looked back and locked eyes with him, deciding it was better to just keep running. Heading towards the place she last felt her father, she cursed inwardly for losing the only way to get money. When she was far enough away, she slowed down to a walk, taking her bag off her back and opening it. "I failed" she said to Zee. He climbed into her hand and sat there with his hands under his chin. "Of course, have you seen him?" She shrugged and sat down on a park bench. Needing to catch her breath, she lifted Zee up on to her shoulder when suddenly he slipped and fell into her bra. "What the..." she started exclaiming when he peeked out and smiled. "Hmm comfy" he said and snuggled in more. She sighed and reached in her bra, grabbing him by his armor and put him back on her shoulder. "No boobs for you" she said as he pouted. Suddenly a speeder pulled up to her. There was a mandalorian sitting in the drivers seat looking at her and told her to get in. She didn't know if she should trust him, but what if this was her only chance of getting there faster. She hopped in the speeder and Zee walked over to her other shoulder to sit in between them. "You touch her, I kill you" he said glaring at the mandalorian.

Before Adi reaches him Loki feels a sudden awareness of a familiar presence from a long time ago. His charges, his wards, but just one of them. One of the twins, he smiled, smiled? He was smiling, what was wrong with him? Ever since he awoke from his coma he felt so strange. A few memories of his time with Zadea Ordo flashed before his eyes, most importantly Loki’s battle against his ally Phillios over Mustafar, it was at that moment Loki had sworn an oath to protect Zadea and her children, even from that maniac she called her husband, Loki shook his head finally spotting Adi approaching him.
Loki smiled at Adi. “Yes, but we can forget formalities, you may call me Loki.” Loki still felt the itch of one of the twins but ignored it for now. “I heard about them searching for you, I’m here to help you, and perhaps have you help me, I am lost.” Loki said simply looking up at the bright sun of Naboo. “There is a Jedi on the ship I came with, he was my ticket on the Wayward son..” Loki decided to leave out his relationship to Raxxie for now, he would tell Adi in due time. A blur flew past Loki and picked something out of his bag, one of his light sabers, he let out a low growl and decided to just rip it out of the girls hand using the force he felt the familiar grip fill his palm and stuck it in his bag, locking eyes with the girl over his shoulder before turning back towards Adi. “Thieves in Naboo…My how times have changed” He said with a shrug looking back and seeing the girl had vanished. “So Adi, do you accept my help.” Loki said once more turning back to him. “I’ll apologize for the steak thing…” He said with a smirk.

NCO considered the miniature Jedi Master and wondered if it had the same proficiency with the force as its template. He'd find out soon enough, he checked his map again and got the location of the pair he was looking for, and then noticed that his access to the security footage was being cut. He didn't really need it now, but it was rather annoying. He could get back in, but it'd just be wasted time at this point. Turning to the road before him, NCO started the speeder and responded with a snide remark to E'yame.
Keep your pet on a leash.
I don't waste time listening for a reply but set out catch up to Adi and the odd Zabrak. I mind the traffic laws, mostly because I don't have the patience to deal with local law enforcement, jokes though they are, one and all. NCO drove by the Zabrak, and Adi, confirming visually for himself, that both were in fact still together and not geared for gundarks. Turning around, he parked the speeder a few meters from the pair, and stepped out, He unslung his carbine, and carried it at rest, aimed at the ground in front of him, and warily approached the force users.
Ahoy Cap'n, What the blazes did you smoke this time? Never thought you'd be a wanted man. Nor did I think you the sort to leave your spawn laying about galaxy, one of which has caught up to you.
I jerk my head towards Éyame, as I mention her. Though currently the two jetii hold the brunt of my attention as I wasn't entirely certain that either of them were particularly stable, much less dependable or otherwise trustworthy. I noticed an oddity down the street, with gray skin, but set the being aside, so long as it wasn't interfering with my day. I stop approximately two and a half meters from Adi, with Loki to his right, from my perspective, and a little behind him. I wasn't looking to start anything, but if something started I'd certainly be ready to finish something. Whether or not those somethings were the same or not, remained to be seen.

Sinina had walked up, until Loki had started talking to someone, she gasped softly as she stopped, she tried to pretend like she were looking at things other then him. She didn't want to look obvious, but at the same time she was extremely curious why the man looked so familiar to her. It had to of been a very long time ago. She bites softly on her lip as she tries to reach out with the force to see what she could sense of both him and the man he'd talked to. Her well manaicured fingers running over the material of an ornate skirt in a shop nearby.*

Dark though it was, Loki's aura carried no animosity, oddly enough. It was as he said....confused, and lost. Deciding to trust his gut, Adi nodded.
"We seem to have much in common then. If it gets an apology, sure. You can hang around for a bit. Just don't even think about putting me through another building. You'll find I get back up a lot more quickly now....and I tend to hit the thing or things that knocked me down when I do."
He was about to continue, when a speeder containing a....Gungan...Mandalorian....Um....or something. And he was calling him 'Captain'.
Wait. Wait a minute....Was the Wayward Son here on Naboo as well? How in the KRIFF did that Zabrak woman find him? Did she slip a tracer in his bag? No, M.I.C.R.O. would have found that. Besides, she would have found him on Yavin. But why was this water bunny calling him 'Captain'? It didn't bother him too much, but when the guy mentioned 'spawn', he could only mean one individual. Immediately, his instinct to protect his daughter kicked in.
Adi's right hand snapped out to his side. Seemingly out of nowhere, pieces of a lightsaber began to fly out from various pockets, seams, and compartments in his outfit and bag. Within a couple of seconds, the chrome hilt of the saber given to him by the now-deceased Dace Concordia formed in the outstretched hand, and activated. Getting between E`yame and the Mando, he pointed the weapon at the Gungan, almost snarling.
"You really don't know who I am, do you?? If you did, you would realize that my daughter being within fifty feet of you is extremely bad for your health."
He was so angry that he was shaking. It was at this point that he realized what he was doing. It was quite obvious the man was not trying to pose any kind of threat to E`yame...let alone himself or Loki. Adi really didn't know why he was so aggressive toward someone that had not shown any hostility toward him. It actually kind of scared him how quickly his demeanor changed when it involved a Mandalorian, and the ones close to him. The War had truly messed Adi up.
Deactivating the saber, and clipping it to his belt, he bowed his head.
"I....I am sorry. I react badly when I run into anyone that has anything to do with Mandalorians. I have had many bad experiences in the past few years, and it has kind of affected me negatively. Forgive me. I assume it's my rebellious daughter you speak of? I appreciate the assistance. Adieumus Matango, at your service."
He bowed slightly, more out of embarrassment than anything else. It was in times like these that he truly realized how much had happened...and how much more work had to be done.

Once the speeder stopped she looked at the mandalorian and gasped when out of the corner of her eye, she saw the giant zabrak "Oh shi.." Zee started to say when she grabbed him and stuffed him in her bag. She was about to bolt when the Mandalorian got out of the speeder and started talking to the man who whipped out his lightsaber. Suddenly she recognized the form, the voice, the feeling in the force. That was her father and this guy was here for him. Getting angry, she jumped off the speeder, reaching back she grabbed the hilt of the katana and lifted it out of the sheath in one skilled move, coming right between the mandalorian and her father, she positioned the katana right at his throat. "You used me?" she said with fury in her eyes. She know she wasn't supposed to succumb to her anger, but at that moment, she didn't care. She would have his head for this. When she realized it was a misunderstanding, she lowered the katana to about waist height and then snapped it back up towards her father's neck. Suddenly she was surrounded in rage. "You left me for five years all alone, how dare you?" she said and made a cutting motion trying to land a hit.

Ahhh, one of his Jedi katanas. The very blades forged by, and given to the Arkanian from Jedi Master Mike Frantz at Adi's knighting ceremony. Wow, that felt so very long ago...a lifetime. That was even before Adi knew E`yame existed. That was before Adi knew that Nadia would return to Honoghr with a nine-year old girl in tow.
And now, here that little smiling girl was, trying to strike him down with a weapon that was made for him. It was very courageous, but ill-advised....Never attack someone with their own weapon.
Focusing rapidly, he again opened the floodgate holding the force back, and channeled it into his right arm...mostly in the right hand...with the greatest concentration on his outstretched right index finger. With that single finger, he placed it against the tip of the weapon being thrust upon him, stopping it instantly in its tracks. Force weapon was normally a power usually reserved for inanimate objects...but the crafty Arkanian had figured out a way to use it in a way to shield himself from the onslaught of weapons such as lightsabers...
...Or Jedi katanas.
Grinning almost wickedly, he blinked only once, and spoke quietly.
"You have much to learn....-little girl-..."
He blurred into motion, starting with the right finger spinning the tip of the blade away. His hand, still enrobed in the force, made for a grip on the formidable blade. If the grip made contact, Adi would then try to twist the weapon away from his daughter, and toss it aside. With a final quick step inward, Matango would throw a very fast left punch directly at Eya's cheek, with the intent of stopping just short of her face.
He would never strike her...but he would damn well show her that he was better than her. She might be young, and damn good too, but the old man could still give the girl a spanking when she got out of line.
She wasn't -that- good...
..yet.

NCO tensed as jetii got antsy and blades appeared and started swinging. Things had gone more or less as anticipated, though NCO had expected Loki and to be Adi's opponent, not Éyame. He considered stepping and halting her attack, but surely Adi would defuse... firefek, he's as much a child as she is. Osik, I didn't sign on to be the crew's buir! He set his external speaker volume to 120 decibels, not comfortable for any organic being, and raised his carbine to point squarely at Adi's torso, though he refrained from pulling the trigger. He wasn't looking to join the ruckus, they could figure their own mess out on their own time, on some other planet. It was time to go, people were already calling local security.
"Shabla jetii hut'uune!" I return the volume to normal levels, now that I have everyone's attention. "This isn't the time or place for this, unless you want make up with each other in a local jail. Local security is already on the way, and Adi don't think you turn this into another Dantooine. I don't have time for that osik, now both of you get your shebs in gear, we'll finish the reunion on the Wayward Son. Loki, be so kind as to escort Adi back, if the other Jetti on board wants to cause trouble, he'll be dead inside of three seconds, though which of us will land the killing blow is anyone's guess. Éyame, back in the speeder. We're done here folks, shift it!"
I start sending a live feed to Raxxie. This might turn into an extraction mission... osik. I stand still and wait for the morons to comply, or resist if that's their choice. If resistance is how they want to go, then I'm leaving on my own two feet, and the little Jetii prick could learn a new lesson in dealing with mando'ade. I hadn't fought in the crusades, not in the known galaxy at any rate. I'd been in the outer regions defending my aliit from horrors that made the Vong look like a nerf herd.
