A Credit Saved, is a Credit Earned

[Tiali Orazio]

As Lady Kay held the pistol to the back his head his first reaction was "Oh Kark!" He immediately stopped. He was trying to think of a way out of the situation but couldn't think of anything.

With a deep sigh he stood still "Sooo What are you going to now?" he asked with curiosity "It's not like you can actually capture me the ship is most likely covered in pirates now."

Kay raised a brow. "Well I certainly have you captured right now, don't I?" Oh that just reeked of her inexperience. If only her husband was here. He'd know exactly what to do.

"I have no doubt that this ship is crawling with pirates which is unfortunate for you as there is nothing here for you. Surely you didn't all come here just to seize this restored yacht? If so, aren't you all overdoing it just a little?" There were dozens of pirates to just a skeleton crew, plus three...or rather two others on board. Talk about overkill.

She pressed him forward. "You're my leverage to ensure our safety. Now let's get moving. And keep your hands where I can see them." She didn't want to reveal her Force powers, nor let on who she was as she didn't want to be taken hostage. Jed should be quite happy to see who she caught all by herself. So she started to lead him to the bridge.

 

[Tiali Orazio]

Tiali begins to laugh quite loud "What makes you think the pirates aren't just going to shoot us both lets think about it, I'm a bounty hunter, Your some rich person it's cheaper for them just to shoot me then catch you. so before we go down that corridor you may want to re think the steps in your plan."

He holds his ground not moving forward until he gets an answer "Oh and they don't really care about the yacht. I think their here for some guy or you."

She raised a brow. "Some rich person? What makes you say that?" Kay had gotten changed out of her dress just after the pirates boarded. She was just wearing trousers and a shirt now, and her satchel certainly looked like it had seen better days. But then again she was behind him, so he couldn't see her properly. And as far as she knew, Jed hadn't told anyone of her visit.

Kay hated to hurt anyone, but he just wasn't moving and she didn't want to get caught out in the open, so she kicked the back of his right knee to urge him on. "Well I doubt that either of us are planning on going anywhere but our original destination. Now start walking, please." If he was a bounty hunter than he seemed to be fairly new at it, just as she was at trying to hold someone hostage.

Yet still her mind was reeling as to whether or not this was all some sort of set up. Would Jed come to save the day? Or was this all a part of the meeting that he had scheduled? It was not going well for her, that's for sure. And she needed to regain her focus so that they could get out of here alive.

 

[Tiali Orazio]

Raising a brow at question surprised "Well Yeah rich person, your on a yacht with a bunch of high tech droids walking around and a high trained guard near you, It's not hard to figure out."

At that moment he was kicked in the back of the knee stumbling down he falls to one knee left hand holding the wound, right arm on the ground he winces "Thanks! You're a great motivator to an injured person." he says trying to guilt trip her. He could tell she hasn't done this much before due to him still having his weapons e.g. his two blades and sonic pistol etc. He could tell she didn't want to hurt him or he would be dead or shot by now.

By knowing this he knows she'll hesitate to shoot, he just needs to be patient to strike at the right time.

[Cadan Tazi]

Cadan began to march forward with the rest of the pirates, until he thought of a plan. "Thraxis, 'ow about yous go to the fight and I take the bridge?" Cadan knew that Thraxis did out rank him but that didn't bother him.

"If that's okay with you? Sir." Cadan added a sarcastic tone to the words 'sir'.

Kay tried desperately to cling to her ruse, although she was a horrible liar. But the pirate or bounty hunter hadn't seen her face, so perhaps he couldn't read it like the open book that it was. "Well maybe I just have an over protective cousin that's just trying to show off the ship that he just rebuilt, hmm?" At least it was partly true.

And then he just had to play on her concious. Way to go! "I'm sorry to be so rough, but you aren't moving. There's a first aid kit where we are going, so once there I'll be able to tend to your wounds. Now come on. The faster we go, the faster we can get you healed."

Oh it was quite comical of a sight. Tiali was stalling while Kay was trying to figure out how to handle him. She was just too nice to be mean, which could be her downfall, but it always paid out in the end. She kept the blaster on the base of his skull, moving as he did. Even if he did manage to knock it away, she still had her lightsaber, and the Force, but she was really hesitant in using either of those at the moment.

And then another idea struck her. Hmmm. She could always steal his ship as he had to have gotten onto the yacht somehow. That was a good back up plan. Kay was certainly not in her element. She was used to having a lot more people to help her. And being stuck on a damaged tin can while floating in space didn't help much either. There were less places to run.

 

[Thraxis]

Thraxis looked to him, hearing his bitter satire as it left his lips, "Deal. You heard him you horrible lot, to the bridge! Spill some blood... or oil... I don't care go cause mayhem!" he demanded, watching as they started to break back into their violent rabble that they were before they were cut down. It seemed like they had forgotten.

Thraxis stayed behind the crowd watching as they started to shoot their way through any resistance, though the droids proved to be problematic, whenever his group encountered a group the droids would easily cut down his men by half their numbers, slowly dwindling his men into what he was wanting. A group of tough as nuts, blood-thirsty maniacs who would kill anything who they were told to kill.

"Weird an over protective cousin." with the gun so close to Tiali's skull he formed an idea, to have a sudden burst jump from his jet pack to make the pistol's aim up away from his head it also may hurt Lady kay from the heat of the jetpack if she is too close. In that action he may be able to get a clean swing at the pistol with one of his blades.

"Wow healing you are too nice." At that moment he activates his jet pack glowing embers leaped and twirled in a firery dance, twinkling like stars in the hot swirling air before cascading to earth like gleeful fire fiends, setting alight the air like tinder as it escaped his JT-12 jetpack. Attempting to send the pistols aim off his head.

[Thraxis]

Their roars, their deafening cry echoing through the bridge, overgrowing as they approached [member="Tiali Orazio"]'s location. "Charge fourth! Break whatever stands in our way, but keep Tiali alive!" Thraxis demanded, though the men had no clue what he looked like, Thraxis assumed that they would just stop killing how he wants, though the unruly crowd might need to have some examples made of them if they don't follow the orders.

The group turn the corner, their they were, Tiali being held captive by some damsel, "Their! I want them both alive!" Thraxis demanded, the crowd starting to stampede down the hall they lowered their weapons, their was still a dozen or so left from the slaughter that they had gone through getting to where they are now. Thraxis took a step back to evaluate the situation, Tiali had been caught, and a women was holding a gun to his head, likely there wont be many people living this night, Tiali was a badass, and for him to be caught like that, meant that it was going to be curtains for most of the men with him.

The jet pack turning on was a big surprise. She backed away quickly, but not fast enough to save her trousers from setting alight. She dropped the pistol and brought her satchel around to her front, pulling out the nice dress that she had on earlier and padding out the fire with it.

Kay leaned back against the corridor wall, breathing heavily as she tried to ignore the pain. Of course that was easily done when she saw Thraxis and company turn the corner. Her heart sank a little as the tables had quickly turned and she was caught in the middle. Still she refused to use the Force as that was one card she wanted to keep up her sleeve for as long as possible.

All of their weapons were lowered, so she made no move to get the blaster just yet. Instead she looked to Tiali. "Got any of that Bacta ointment left?" She was nice to him, so of course she was hopeful that he would be nice as well. But then again he was in the presence of other pirates...

 

[Tiali Orazio]

Tiali spins around landing after the take off. Letting out a deep sigh his hand lowers to his belt taking hold of half a container of bacta, rolling his eyes he throws the container to Lady Kay "Here." He says reluctantly.

KIcking away Lady Kay's blaster away "Thank you Thraxis for coming to my side, but I won't need it any longer." he chuckles slightly, flicking out his arm his vibro blade distends out from the top of his forearm, he points it to Lady Kay and says sternly "Don't move."

The thought's flowing through Tiali's head flicker between multiple idea's, but the best one was too see if he can soak up some credits from this lady.

She caught the ointment and then slid down so that she was seated on the floor. "Thanks." But moments later he told her not to move. "Well I do have to move to apply the bacta, so unless you wanted to do it?...No?...Didn't think so." Kay opened the container and started to apply some of it gently onto her burns. She rolled up her trousers so that they were above her knees and away from the burns.

How much could she get away with? Who knows? But all of this was a test to find out exactly that. Once she was finished with the ointment she closed the container and slid it over to him, before shoving the slightly scorched dress back into her satchel.

Instead of getting back onto her feet however, Kay just sat there, glancing over to each of the pirates on either side of her. "I'm sorry to say but you're not going to get a lot of credits for me. And you know who Jed's father is, so....this is all just a wasted trip for you, I'm afraid." She had no idea how well informed were they, and she was still trying to figure out if Jed had anything to do with their arrival. Men like him were tough to predict.

 

[Thraxis]

"No, no, no, you misunderstand. You may be worth very little, but whatever is on this ship we can tear apart and sell... though the question I do ponder is... why did you just tell me your worthless." Thraxis stated, almost hissing by the end.
He looked back to the men, they all had an eager look in their eye, the unruly crowd starting to tap into their most basic needs, looking back to [member="Lady Kay"], "You may be useless to me, but these men are about as savage as they come, unrefined though they may be." a sickened grin growing over his face, "But do tell me, I am enthralled as to who Jed's papa is. It may just save your life." his hand ever slowly easing onto his sonic pistol.

Kay stiffened at the very thought of them coming after her. She didn't like him, nor had she ever come across one as ruthless. It may be that she'll have to reveal herself sooner than she thought, especially if they were clearly not going to leave this ship alone.

She chastised herself for talking too much. Thraxis had a point in what he said. Worthless people don't say such things unless they are depressed or something and she didn't fall into that category.

But he didn't know who Jed's father was? Maybe he missed that part of the conversation when they first attacked. Kay glanced at Tialo before looking to Thraxis. "His father is William Kerkov, head of the Open Circle Armada. I believe that you both fight for the same side?" Make that work for the same employer.

Her eyes drifted to his sonic pistol and then to her own that had been kicked out of reach. Proving not to be hostile was always the safer bet. Hopefully it was in this situation too.

 

[Thraxis]

"William Kerkov? Open Circle? Who the..." Thraxis said, though memories soon returned, though few as they may be, "Right. Well you see little missy, we haven't and much contact with them in a long time... in fact even when we were in contact they didn't give us anything to do. SO not a very compelling argument. Though.... I'm sure you have some other secrets your little lips are keeping tightly shut." Thraxis grinned that same sickened smile still stuck on his face, the men started to grow even more restless, starting to get into a primal frenzy.

"Now then. I want information. This lot is a bunch of feral monsters when they want to be. But if you help me, well... I'm sure I can keep them away from you long enough for you to get away." he said coldly, his hand resting on his sonic pistol. His eyes began to twitch, his hand began to itch,and his eyes started to stare deeper still, slowly evolving into an angry glare, "Just remember. I'm not a very patient man."

Tiali Raise's a brow to Thraxis's choice of words "Thraxis she is worth more credits to me unharmed. William Kerkov may pay a good price for her " He says with a calm attitude walking next to him.

"Anyway your Shadow Cadan, probably will not appreciate it either." he says sarcastically. He wasn't sure what Thraxis was thinking or what his plan was but Tiali didn't waste his chance for credits, "So, why dont you let me get my credits. And you go do what you want to the rest of this floating terd."

[Thraxis]

Thraxis heard the little sly comment, slightly begrudging him, he looked to the group of men that was left, he saw the only one he really cared about, the little Zealtron, he was never cut out for battle, he lived a life of luxury, pleasure, joy, never knowing what it was like to get into a real fisticuffs, yet here he stood, somehow managing to survive the firefights that ensued, Thraxis thought to himself, "I want him dead." then it spark in his mind, he looked to the boy signalling that he wanted him to come closer to him.

"Hey, you managed to survive I'm impressed, how did it feel, bet you weren't going to live right? I am truly impressed. But you see, that there Tiali's remark was kinda begrudging. Do you think you can go deal with him? Pretty Please." he said, feigning a fake smile. He saw his eyes brighten from the remark, almost gaining more confidence then he had ever had before, as if he looked to Thraxis as a father. "Do you really think I can do it?" he said, his eyes widened with curiosity and a childlike joy, something that sickened Thraxis to his very core. "Go on, I havent seen any other Zealtrons able to survive a firefight, especially when the odds were against him." still keeping that fake smile, his teeth trying their best not to grind against each other. "OK then!" he said with that same joy, he walked towards [member="Tiali Orazio"] confidence brimming in each of his steps, "Sorry, but if Thraxis believes in me, you will die, and we both know how this will end. I am really sorry about this." he said as he pulled his hand to his gun, not a sonic pistol, but a proper Blaster Pistol, with an intent to kill.

This is why lying was such a bad idea. The last thing that she wanted was to be in debt to the Admiral for paying for her freedom. He had wanted to hire her as a diplomat for his company, but given that he tried to have her kidnapped on Bakura and 'rescue' her from some other members of the Jackals, but she had declined his offer.

Kay figured that she could handle Thraxis if he was alone, but he had his goon squad with him. Being polite to Tiali had paid off as he was now intervening on his own behalf as well as hers. She kept silent and still as the two seemed to argue over her.

If her husband was alive and there with her, he would have taken them all on and told her to run. And here was the golden opportunity to do just that. While the others were distracted by the stand off, she quickly got to her feet and rant to her blaster. While it was inches away from her hand, she tapped into the Force to help her fetch it quicker. No turning back. No slowing down. No doubt she had only seconds before she was either fired upon or caught.

At the first room she saw, Kay pressed the panel and opened the door, entering the room and closing it shut again. She then fired her blaster at the panel and disabled it. That should give her a few minutes at least. Her eyes scanned the small crew quarters, causing her to smile a little as she found what she was hoping for. An air ventilation access panel.

 

[Tiali Orazio]

Tiali gave an angry look to Thraxis and his crew "Don't do this kid." noticing he wasn't going to stop. Tiali's left hand slid to his belt gripping and activating his last thermal detonator. His cybernetics make a slight buzz to the speed he sprints forward at. The young man pulls his pistol out firing, Tiali moved to dodge.

His after movement he Throws the Thermal detonator pass the young man to the small crew behind him. Slicing upwards at his forearm Tiali slices off his arm blood spraying out, his empty left hand grabs his pistol with the hand still holding on.

The young man shocked from losing his hand Tiali quickly spins ready to flee to see Lady Kay run into a room close to her. Quiclky thinking he doesn't want to do this for no reason he activates his jetpack burning the young man behind him. Making Tiali fly down the corridor.
