Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)
Kai defelcted as much as he could, the force training he was reciving throught out the months had really hampered his fighting skills. He was running out of tricks, the second kick struck him directly in the stomach knocking he wind out of him. He reached out with the force to prefrom a push through its great power, Yet the pirate must have some how sensed this coming for he spun around along the ground with his foot out in a sweep. Kai tumbled to the ground onto his back, the young aprintice felt the blades in his back go in deeper. Kai refused to give up, he would not fail his masters, like he did the barron do all that time ago. And if he couldn't use the might of the force to aid him, then he pondered on calling upon the power of the darkside.
Prone he reached for his lightsaber cliped to his belt"You shall not get the best of me, as the force is with me, and you have no allie such as it."Edited by: Kai the Poet at: 7/5/07 4:10 pm

Eyeing the cruiser that Devorah had selected and sent along to he and Ava, Nate nodded with satisfaction.
"Nice choice, Eight. Form up on me, ladies," Nate said, chuckling at the idea of that in non-combat time. "Wait... let's take it with the ion cannons. It's so pretty, we could keep it and really make the Captain happy. Savvy?"
With rapid ion cannon strikes, they'd effectively disable the cruiser and then could send the boarding party after a prize indeed...
He gunned his TIE toward their target, weapons armed.

Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)"My my, IF-One...what a brilliant idea..." Devorah purred over her comm, watching as Ava formed up on Nathaniel's other side. Toggling her shields just so, she armed her ion cannons and waited on his command.
"IF-Eight, armed and dangerous...and ready..." she quipped.

Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)OOC: Ava's a little tied up with offline life ATM so I'll move her through this with us. :)
Nathaniel seemed to keep an eye on his sensors and an eye trained on the ship itself, watching for the inevitable volley of laser fire that they'd use to take out the Defender trio.
"Stay sharp. I count a half-dozen weapon placements, girls. Big Guns, you go for their shield generator to the aft. Be careful. Ennuyant and I will hit their engine lines hard. Ion cannons only!"
Whooping again in Cheunh, Nathaniel edged closer, waiting for his sensors to show when they were in firing range...
Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)
Inson shrugged;
"It's hard to say, really, but the long and short of it is that, besides being this ship's lovable cabin boy," he smiled and winked at Alema in jest, "I also do a little bounty hunting on the side. Strictly Jedi, Sith, and important persons who are not a member of this crew, that's how I operate."
He cleared his throat;
"Well, as it turns out, I received word of a pretty sweet drop going down on the Abregado system and I went to check it out, the person involved was worth lower six-figures. Well, it was a bounty hunter trap set by one of the more orderly-minded of the powers that be, I don't know which. I was able to escape, but not without severe ship damage, it was somewhat regretful."
He absent-mindedly scraped away at some grime with his finger nail; cleaning had become a strangely intrinsic part of him. Inson feklt odd just standing here but again, the feeling of discomfort of leaving Alema on the bridge alone kept him still.
"What about you, I haven't seen you around before either. What brings you, well-known, talked-about figure in the Underworld comm stations, to the humble Crimson Ferret's Revenge?"

Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)"I'm with you, big brother..." Serrena growled in Shyriiwook, pulling her bloody sais out of her latest victim. She was liberally spattered with blood, the perfect contrast to her tanned skinned, and the perfect match to her blazing crimson eyes.
She followed Rok through the fray, grinning wickedly as she sheathed her sais and reached out to 'convince' the keypad to cooperate. When her efforts failed, the brunette swung her foot up and forcefully informed it that they were coming through anyway. With the durasteel clad stiletto heel.
Stepping aside, Serrena grinned and curtsied. "After you, Rok..."
Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)
Rok smiled and ruffled her hair. It always gave him warm tingly's when the little creature exerted so much power. The door slid open revealing another long corridor.
"SAEDE! This way! Serrena got us an open door!"
Rok shouted through the fray....this ship was similiar to another one Rok had boarded when fighting the Jedi.....and though Rok was always ribbed for his lack of communicatory skills....he had an excellent memory.
Surveying their team Rok assessed their skills and knew that anything the Jedi were stupid enough to throw their way...wasn't going to last long.
"Saede....if we follow this path it will take us past the core....the Bridge is infront of the core and up a few levels....I'll let you take the lead"
Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)
The jedi struggled with himself as he reached for the lightsaber, Chaos shook his head “Sorry kid, but I don’t have time for you”,he said stepping on the wounded boy’s hand. Pressing down with his weight he crushed the fingers.Reaching to his leg he pulled out a small set of blades “a parting gift” he flung them at the jedi’s hand reaching for the energy sword.
Then he flailed his arms running after Rok “wait for meeee” he cried.

Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)
Brilliant crimson eyes glowed with bloodlust as she surveyed the gruesome scene before her, as Rok shouted back to Saede and everyone made their way to the door. The dancer's eyes lit upon the fallen Jedi Master and a deep, predatory smile crossed her lips.
"You three go ahead...I'm going to give our friend a new home first..." Serrena quipped, pointing to Tantor. Moving towards him, she held her hands up to Marcus. "CAPTAIN! CEASE FIRE!" she shouted, stepping forward, and kneeling beside the man to take his pulse.
"He's alive...I'm going to drag him to our special guest rooms. Imagine the price he'll fetch! I'll be back to join you on the bridge when he's comfortable..." she purred, motioning the crewman away as he moved to help. Belying her petite frame, she grabbed firm hold of one of his boots and pulled him across the threshold of the airlock and into the Revenge.
Serrena dragged Tantor through the hallways and down into the row of prisoner cells that Marcus himself had outfitted with ysalamiri. With a bit of effort, she wrenched the door open and managed to pile the helpless Jedi Master inside, careful to divest him of his lightsaber. She slammed the door closed and made certain that it locked securely before leaving him there to wake up on his own.
The dancer laughed as she sauntered out of the prison bay, dropping the lightsaber hilt off in her quarters as a prize before heading back to the hotly-contested airlock.

Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)
Marcus holstered his nearly over-heating pistols. He hardly noticed Serrena take the master away, so incensed and furious was he from the saber wound to the side. That would be leaving quite the scar, though no one would know it. Striding through the line of bodies his crew left, the man made his way to the bridge.
On the way, he ran into Saede and her band of pirates.
Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)"Well, I--" Alema trailed off as she caught sight of the security recorder at the airlock. Serrena was coming through with... oh. Prisoner. Well, then. Alema shooed another crewmember away from a computer console to turn on a feed from the surveillance in the cell. She'd need to keep an eye on him, and hopefully if he tried anything she'd be able to send someone after him.
"Sorry about that!" Alema said to Inson as she closed the airlock behind Serrena. "Anyway, sorry about that job. Sounds like you were in the same mess we're in now. Probably would have been nice if you could come back to marginally less chaos."
She noted his compulsive cleaning and had to hold back a smile. She'd have to enlist his help with the galley when this was through. Repay him with... with pie or something. Meat pie. Rycrit or dewback or... Alema blinked. As tempting as it was to ponder dinner at this time of day, it really wasn't helping anyone.
"As for why I'm here," she continued. "This is the latest of many favors that members of this crew have done for me. First Saede on Tatooine, and then Savin on Myrkr. After that little joyride I... didn't really have anywhere else to go." She shrugged. Going into the dramatic specifics of it probably wasn't necessary. Her life was comparatively uneventful compared to most of the crew, and even with the cabin boy she didn't feel she had much room to tell war stories.
Speaking of stories..."So do people really talk about me?" she asked incredulously. "What do they say?"
Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)
The Crimson ferret was not that inconspicous a ship. Colbs recognized it iimediatley as he saw it. Captain Marcus Grays. It looked like they were in the process of pirating another ship at the moment. Jedi by the looks of it. He had plenty of weapons to deal with force users.
There it was, his oppurtunity of the day, turning his LAAT the BLACK FALCON he made his way towards the battle, staying just outside the range of defensive cannons, no sense getting blown away before he could offer his services.
"This is Colbs to Crimson Ferret, I notice your involved in an operation, doubtless your doing fine on your own but should you need another crew member, Im willing to help for a price."
Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)
Chaos sped up his pacing when he saw the Capitan and Saede up ahead, he slapped the wookie on the back I know you not shedding
"lets rock this joint" he said prepping his whipcords.

Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)"Come on boys, we've got a ship to take."
As Gavin heard that, he quickened his pace a little more. He did not want to lose track of the group; if Gavin did, the Jedi would have an easy target. To make sure he was going the right way, he looked over his shoulder every few seconds; he also did this to make sure he would not run into a wall.
Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)
Alema frowned at the sudden contact and opened a channel to the crew on the Jedi ship. "We have an offer from a nearby mercenary named Colbs. He's offering his assistance for a price, but I'm not telling him yes or no until I hear from the captain or first mate. Please advise as soon as possible."
She looked over her shoulder at Inson, jerking her thumb toward her comm. "You know this Colbs?"

Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)
Marcus, running with his arms flailing wildly, failed to stop as the bunch met the bridge's doors. Tumbling headfirst into a hail of gunfire, the captain lost his hat as he came skidding to the feet of a rather perturbed looking mate on deck. Grinning and flashing his gold capped teeth, the captain rose to his feet.
"The Jedi who be commissioning ye are dead and gone. Poof!" the captain said, making a strange flourish with his hands, "Now I'll be honest with you mate, my crew'd rather butcher you all and take yer guts for garters. Perhaps in the process raiding yer fine vessel here for spare parts. But I, being the honorable captain that I am, protested, argueing that the lot of you would rather sail temporarily under me command--peacefully. Hey? Hey?"
Marcus grinned as if he had just offered the man 20 tons of solid gold. The man who he was speaking with, the mate on deck since the ship's captain (Tantor) was currently incapacitated.
Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)
Chaos froze in his mind as the Captain's hat fell to the deck; he knew that it was a very valuable item to the man so with a quick somersault he retrieved it in hand.
"Capitan, he you are me brother" he tossed the piece of head gear to Marcus, as he finished his speech to the poor whelp.

Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)Meanwhile, in surrounding space...
Nathaniel let out another Cheunh whoop of victory as tendrils of ion energy raked across the Jedi cruiser's hull. The trio of IF pilots had hit it enough times and in strategic places enough to render the ship dead.
Nate patched the surrender through to Alema aboard the Revenge. He didn't know how to handle that aspect of "business." It was enough to have accomplished what they had.

Saede sent a nearly diabolic grin at Rok as the two skidded around a corner almost in tandem. The big double blast doors of the command center of the ship were all that stood between them and their prize.
As the rest of the crew gathered behind them, Saede inspected the key card lock, smirking ever so slightly. "You know, Wallace spent days try to teach me how to finess my way past one of these... but my way was always so much more straight foreward."
And with that she drew her blaster, firing a trio of bolts into the control panel. The doors remained closed... but now the locking mechanism was broken and they could be forced apart.

Gavin knew that it was his time to shine, since this was his specialty. Since there was only one set of doors, a pressure bomb woule be perfect here. It would not do major damage to it's surroundings, but would force the two blast doors open. The only complication was to get the doors 6 inchs, to fit the bomb in. For that, he had to use something to wedge it open. The crowbar with him would be perfect for this.
Gavin moved toward the two doors, first to examine them. Since Saede did a good job of destroying the locks, they would be able to move with enough force. His guess was that each door weighed about 500 pounds each. So to do this, he would need someone elses help with it. He knew that he had to swallow his pride, and ask for help. Gavin stabbed the head of the crowbar into the space where the doors met with all his strength, making it fit.

Re: Wounded, Helpless, and Vulnerable(Open)
They still hadnt responded to his offer. The silence was making him ancy. He really wanted to go crack open some jedi skulls. His heart rested with his money however. Turning his LAAT he moved a little farther away. Just in case.

"Woot!" Ava screamed as the three Iron Ferrets first true raid was a complete success. She now swung her TIE around and just waited in position.
"IF 1, will wait in position until further orders. Great run I have to say though!" As she waited for a response and checked up on the ship, making sure everything was running smoothly.

Nathaniel checked the scanners. What fighters they hadn't destroyed had turned tail and had fled into hyperspace. Space around Revenge and the captured vessels was clear.
"Iron Ferrets, this is why the Captain calls us elite. Let's head home." Pride rang clear in Nathaniel's accented voice. "Big Guns, Ennuyant... great work."
Pumping his fist in the air as a sign of victory, IF 1 turned his Defender back toward the Revenge to dock.
