Jules Makes her Move (Now Closed)

[Ryu Kitana/Dominic Trayce]

"These writings are of an Ancient Colligraphy. Used by the Shadourians in the unknown regions of space. Though these particular writings, Hold the past within thier lettering"

*He smiled a bit, Her uncomfort was expected. Though of all people to harm her, he was not one of them.*

"There is no need for your weapons here. I mean you no harm. It is only outside of these walls that you require protection"

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She turned to face him again while arching her eyebrows at this comment. The attitude he was so familiar with was with her as well as she sarcastically spoke.*

"Out there I know what I'm faced with. Inside here is unknown territory. Until I know more, my blaster will stay by my side. Is that okay with you?"

[Enishi]

*A few miles away from the temple, a large black pod landed roughly on a tree's sturdy branch. The impact was strong enough to shake the tree, but recovered slowly. The pod's door slowly opened and an old alien walked out, using his cane to bnalance himself. Letting the force flow through his body, the old man force jumped through the trees and stopped at a group of dead wookies. Examining the bodies, Enishi was saddened to see they were shot down. Slave traders were near, and they were not afraid to lose some of their "merchandise".*

[Ryu Kitana/Dominic Trayce]

"I hold no objections, It is perfectly understandable that after what you've been through that protection and trust are a definit must have nessicity"

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*There was something in those words that pecked further away at the shell of protection she had up around her. His tone was calm and he was actually nice. Her experience told her to be more wary now. Yet, in the back of the mind there was a tingling that urged her to relax and trust this man. Her eyes showed the confusion within as her mind struggled to understand just what was happening.*

"You speak as if you know something about me. We've never met before have we? Transaction? A job? Anything like that?"

*It was in that moment of probing that something struck her. The face before her resembled that of her father. It was a face that brought back horrible memories to her. Yet, it wasn't completely him. The eyes...the eyes were different and the hair wasn't touched with red. Perhaps he was a long lost relative.*

"You...remind me of someone..."

[Jon Nexus/Erik Zelona]

*Jon continued through the forest, heading for the closet wookie camp to him. As he walked, he glanced around, and gave out a low whistle. There was carnage everywhere. Pulling out his blaster rifle, he proceeded cautiously toward the village. There was a rustling in the trees, and Jon raised his rifle, toward it.*

Who's out there?

*The rustling stopped, and Jon continued on looking behind him sometimes. Maybe coming here now was a bad idea. But he had never backed down from a fight before, and he wasn't going to start now. Jon didn't know if there was going to be a fight, but he wasn't taking any chances.*

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*A couple of grey furred Wookies jumped from the trees one to either side of the intruder. All they saw was the gun and believed him to be with the others. Growls of anger were heard from them both as their bowcasters were raised right at the man. Some of Jules' men though were in the brush just in front of Jon. Seeing the man surrounded, their own blaster rifles were raised as they let the blaster fire erupt from their power cells towards the enraged Wookies surrounding him. They were brought down quickly and twitched on the ground. Looks like the blasters were only set to stun. Once both Wookies were down, the two men ran up to Jon.*

"You're one lucky fellow." *The oldest man said. He had sandy blonde hair and sunglasses on hiding his features. His wrist came up and he issued an order for a dropship to come. The other man was bent down over the Wookies shackling them.*

[Jon Nexus/Erik Zelona]

*Jon looked at the fallen wookies, and back at the man. His rifle was still up, and he aimed it at one of the newcomers.*

And just who are you?

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*The man on the ground heard him repositioning the weapon and pulled his own blaster back out pointing it at the back of the head of Jon. It was the leader of the two that spoke though.*

"Your savior. You gonna shoot someone in the back for saving your life? To these Wookies you're nothing more than an intruder just like us."

*He smiles as he says this and points to his chest with his thumb as he says it.*

"Look, bub. You wanna shoot? go ahead. My partner will take you out immediately afterwards. Short life when it's just been handed to you isn't it."

[Jon Nexus/Erik Zelona]

*Jon looked over his shoulder and saw the other man pointing a blaster at him. Glancing back at the first, Jon lowered his rifle.*

You guys need any help? I don't mind helping. Gives me something to do anyway, than just standing and talking. Especially when wookies aren't kind to us.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

"Yeah, stay out of our way." *The one that had been crouching on the ground stood up and lowered his blaster while getting in the face of Jon.*

*His voice was gruff at his counterpart.*

"At ease, Vorinn! Wave the dropship in here."

*He growls with anger and then turns his head to his supervisor and salutes. His gruff voice gives his affirmative to the order.*

"Yes, sir."

*He took a deep breath and leaned in to the man before him again.*

"I wouldn't try anything. I have eyes in the back of my head."

*He turns around to see the scorn in his supervisor's face before turning and walking away from the two. Already the repulsors of a nearby dropship could be heard.*

*His eyes narrow at the man before him.*

"What brings you to Kashyyk anyway? It isn't a favorite place for spacers to come to unless they have a death wish."

[Jon Nexus/Erik Zelona]

*Jon looks toward the guy called Vorinn*

I wouldn't make threats if I were you. Especially when you're threatening a bounty hunter. Besides, I've seen more combat than you ever will.

*Jon looked back at the first man.*

I don't have a death wish, I just like challenges. What better place than to capture or kill a couple wookies. If you'll excuse me.

*Jon turned and continued on the path to the nearest wookie village. Hopefully, there would still be some there.*

[Nomis Edalb]

*From His spot next to the dead body, Nomis heard the sounds of the small battle. He stood up from his meditation stance and looked off in the distance. He could tell where they were and knew in which general direction to go in*

"Looks like my job ain't over yet..."

*Nomis jumped up and grabbed a vine. Pulling himself up onto the tree branch, Nomis made sure never to lose sight of where his destination was supposed to be. When he was on the tree, he moved quickly and silently towards the sounds of the battle. It wasn't far, so it was a quick trip. Below him, a group of men stood. Two of them had taken out some Wookies that had attacked the other guy.*

"You guys jus never learn, do ya?"

*Nomis Drew his sword from it's place at his back and held it in one hand. He readied himself to drop down. The other guy who'd been attacked hadn't done anything until Nomis heard him ask if he could help in anyway*

[Jon Nexus/Erik Zelona]

*Jon had just started walking toward the village again when he heard a voice, and some more rustling. This time, above him, and the 2 slavers. Jon raised his rifle to the trees, and fired.*

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*He watched the man leave and shook his head while smiling. A bounty hunter on Kashyyk delving into the slave trade. He'd seen almost everything now. Looking towards the ship setting down, he waved them forward. The boss had said to pack up and get back to the ship. He was determined to get more Wookies while she was busy doing who knows what. Once the men came forward to drag the Wookies to the ship, he spoke to the supervising medic and third in command. They had relayed a message to them earlier after the cries of the others were heard.*

"We've got injured or possibly dead men in there. Can't contact the boss either. She might have been captured or her comlink just isn't working. Can't get ahold of her guard either. We need to send a team in."

"We heard her orders, Carpone. Can't authorize anyone going in. You're not in command here. For now we follow the orders. Now get in. Your group was the last."

*Carpone clenched his jaw in anger, but still followed his senior officer's command.* "Yes, sir."

*He moved towards the ship with the chip on his shoulder still.*

*He watched him leave and quietly told himself that he would talk to Jules about reprimanding him later. They at least had a good run. The cargo hold was full of wookies....a good hundred strong. They would get good profit from these guys. He heads back to the dropship and gives the signal. The ship heads back towards the atmosphere to the waiting Sapphire.*
