A Credit Saved, is a Credit Earned

[Thraxis]

Thraxis watched as Tiali tore of the mans arm, a sickened grin growing over his face, though quickly t vanished as he saw the bomb get dropped to whatever men he had left, "Crap." he uttered as he dove down in front to avoid the impact of the grenade.

Thraxis qucikly looked back after he heard the impact, they had all been burnt alive. "Huh. Guess they weren't ready." he said as he looked forward to see the burnt body of the Zealtron boy, his screams echoing through the corridor, though the boy dragged himself along, pulling his body against the ground clenching at Thraxis legs, those same yes no longer holding that same childlike joy now only filled with sorrow. "I'm sorry captain, I done my best. But look, I'm the only one left, so will you let me join your elites?" the boy forced out from his lips, though quickly followed by a scream of pain, but his eyes filled with a childlike joy, mixed with hope. Thraxis took no pity on the little pest, merely kicking the boy aside, "But... I thought I survived the odds? Dont you care." the boy coughed, blood spilling from him, his eyes now widened with misery, Thraxis heard his words, quickly turning around with an infuriated look, "You think I care about you?! You are nothing to me! You are scum, just another Zeltron who grew up happy! Tell me? How many women have you bedded in your life? Your life back on Zeltros was pure pleasure. And that is why you sicken me! You pathetic worm!" Thraxis screamed, kicking at the boy all the while he was on the ground, "I told you. I would send you back to Zeltros in a coffin." he whispered in the boys ear, though as he started to walk away, he done nothing more then spit at the boy, no regret for the burnt, broken and now berated Zeltron scumbag.

Kay quickly moved to the ventilation access panel, prying it open. As she did so, she heard the explosion in the corridor. That's not good. But it seemed further away than just outside the door, so they weren't quite trying to break into the room that she was hiding in.

She then heard the anguished screams from the boy and then Thraxis yelling at him soon after. If anything, she did not want to be caught by that man. There was no guarantee that she'd be able to escape. In the meantime, she had to escape from the situation that she was in.

Hmm. Kay looked to the ventilation shaft. As with the other one, she'd be able to fit, but not be able to turn herself around and shimmying through it backwards was not such a good idea and would take too long. But they might not know that. She kept the access panel open and then instead of going through it, she hid herself under the crew member's bed.

Sure it was a bit cowardly, but at the moment she was vastly outnumbered. But all she had to do was wait it out, wait for them to kill more of themselves off and then steal one of their ships. It was a good plan provided if it worked.

 

[Tiali Orazio]

Tiali leans against the wall closest to him "Thraxis you dumb ass." letting out sigh he opens a com with his Droid "R9 Bring the ship over to the area where the ships escape pods are. I'm getting off this piece of junk"

He begins to walk down the corridor towards the pods again, checking it every now and then. Blood splattered on his chest and up both of his arms. He still holds on to the pistol with the boys hand still griped tight to it he rips it off throwing it on the ground he takes hold of the pistol again with a tight grip aiming it down the corridor ready to fire.

He approaches where the battle commence to find no one but the young man suffering on the ground. Letting out a breath he kneels next to him "Sorry kid, I'll put you out of your misery." He stabs his blade into his throat cutting the spinal cord killing him instantly "Rest in peace bud." he stands back up blood still dripping from his blade.

He looks to the door that he saw Lady Kay walk into and try's to open it. Letting out a sigh it's probably not best for her to see Tiali to walk in covered in blood. He places his last explosive an explosive charge onto the door and walks to a safe distance away and activates the explosive.

5....4....3....2....1....BOOM!!

The explosion caught Kay by surprise and caused her to jump in her hiding spot, smacking her head a little on the bed as she was hiding underneath it. That's going to leave a mark. She rubbed her head and then waited patiently, blaster aimed at the door. Sure she would only see
feet from whomever would walk through the door, but should he look under the bed, the pirate would find the blaster aimed at his face. Hopefully her little ruse will work, but it was a long shot. And she wasn't sure which pirate would go through the door.

Kay needed to find some leverage to get herself out of this situation. She had her case of credits that she hid, but it might not be enough to buy her freedom. It was hard to say how expensive of tastes that these pirates had. And there was no guarantee that they wouldn't blow up the yacht with her and Jed on it once they were done anyways.

 

[Tiali Orazio]

BOOM!

After the explosion he walks over to the busted door leaning beside it's frame hiding his bloodied appearance for now. "So you probably need to get out of here?" His voice is loud enough for her to hear but still has a calm tone to it. He continues even if lady kay doesn't reply "Well as you know i was kinda back stabbed." he looks around the corridor at the collection of burnt bodies.

"i'm about to ditch this floating junk. You can join me if you want?" he closes his eyes for a moment then opens them again sighing "You can pay me back later."

Tiali's ship begins to cut into the hull near the escape pods the sound can be heard down the corridor.

congrats on getting on the bounty board!

((Haha!Thanks! Feels like I've been nominated for an award ))

Kay stayed where she was as she thought about it. Should she go with him? Or stay? Both had their pros and cons and if he found her, then there was no doubt that Thraxis would too. With her decision made, she crawled out from underneath the bed and stood before him.

"Yes...I need to get out of here, but how can I trust you? I'm sorry that I ran too, but can you blame me? It's not as though this was some big rescue operation. Your fellow pirate made that pretty clear." She kept her blaster in her hand but at her side, her other hand holding her satchel. "Once on your ship where would we even be going?" She didn't want to leave without her credits, yet she didn't want Thraxis to catch her either.

 

[Tiali Orazio]

Tiali continues to stand where he is "You don't trust me and your right to do so." He raises a brow "Your sorry you ran? um ok." He shrugs, he was confused why she was sorry about it "Fellow Pirate? I'm a bounty hunter there is a difference."

He begins to walk in the direction of his ships new entry "I don't know where, I haven't thought that far ahead yet."
"You were probably thinking you could just shoot me while my back is turned then take my ship, you can try but it wont end well for you"

He was doing this to screw Thraxis, his droid commander is going to be wanting a report on this and he'll defiantly want to know what happened to the prisoner Thraxis seemingly lost.

She had apologized because he had told her not to move, but at the first chance she got, she had done so. Not that that got her very far on this ship. Each time he spoke she learned something new about her situation, which wasn't much, but it was something.

Kay followed behind him, letting him lead the way. "I'm not going to shoot you, especially in the back like that. I'm not a bad person."

Once they got to the ventilation access panel that she hid in earlier, she stopped. Kay put her blaster away and opened up the panel, slipping halfway inside as she grabbed her case and then came back out again. Now she was able to leave. All the bodies laying around were a horrible sight, but she did her best not to put herself in their situation.

"Won't they come after you, or us?"

 

[Tiali Orazio]

He thinks for a moment "They might. Their troops aren't the problem it's their leader Cadan and that psychopath we ran into, they're the problem."

He points down the Corridor at the sparks coming from the roof "That's the ship making an entrance there." He turns to find her half in the ventilation shaft "What are you doing there? and sorry about them." he refers to the scattered dead men.

He checks down both corridors for Thraxis or any of his men, The kids blaster still at the ready.

As the small band of pirates made their way to the bridge. But before they could arrive, an escape pod jettisoned itself from the captains cabin. (Unless Jed comes back....) Obviously there was a secret escape pod there.

Upon reaching the bridge, and losing a mutlitude of his men to the droids, Cadan and the remained of his men reached the door shut tight. With a sigh he clicked his tongue and pointed towards the pirates. "You lot get the karking door open."

As he spoke a mutlitude of pirates began to place a series of explosives around the door, forming a rough circle in the middle.

With in a few moments the explosion echoed through the ship.

She nodded in agreement, though she hadn't seen Cadan yet, she expected that he was the one speaking to Jed while she was on the bridge. Thraxis was indeed a psychopath.

"I'm just collecting my luggage." She smirked a little and then pulled out her blaster once more, though she kept it at her side for the moment. "How long will it take for your men to break through the hull?" The more time they spent there, the more of a chance that the others had to catch them.

And then an explosion could be heard not far off. Uh oh...the poor ship was taking a beating from the inside out!

 

[Cadan Tazi]

The doors flew from their position, leaving a thick cloud of smoke. Before the smoke could even clear, Cadan and the group of pirates were greeted with yet another squad of droids. This time a shot from the droids caught Cadan in the shoulder sending him stumbling back. In a flash he drew his DL-18 and blasted away at the droid, combined with the shots from his crew, the droid eventually fell.

There more droids were wreaking havoc throughout the pirates, some getting only wounded, other dying. Soon though the droids fell as did the last of the pirates. Now Cadan stood alone as he walked into the bridge, only to be confronted with a few navigators and some low ranking officers.

"Looks like you lot got yourself a new cap'n." Cadan said with a wolfish grin.

[Tiali Orazio]

Tiali chuckles "My men? Oh no just one, if I had a crew I would have to split pay." The circular cut piece of the roof falls down to the ground with a loud 'klank' making a man hole size entry to Tiali's D5 mantis patrol ship.

"Com on" He begins to climb into the patrol classes air lock tunnel.

Only one man? Well that was good. She glanced behind them before going to follow Tiali. Great. She had to climb. Kay followed suit, doing her best while holding her case. She didn't want to hand it over to Tiali as he was still one of the bad guys that tried to rob her and hold her for ransom.

Now to see if he'll keep to his word. Would he help her escape? Or would he just take her to the pirate's ship? It wouldn't be long before she found out.

 

[Cadan Tazi]

All eyes spun onto Cadan and his evil grin.

It all happened in a flash, and multiple weapons spun towards him, as this happened Cadan too drew his DL-18. The pirate took two down before he was blasted in the stomach. Luckily his armor took the hit, but now Cadan was left with a scorched hole in the stomach. Cadan managed to take down one more before a voice ran through the bridge.

"Enough!" An aged man paced towards Cadan, he was unarmed but looked as though he had served in many battles. at closer inspection, one could see a wedding ring on his finger. His voice was kept low but carried to everyone's ears. "Stop the figh-" The voice was cut off with a bang and the man crouched over seeing the hole burning in his chest, before his vision went black.

"I don't take orders from you." Cadan said as he killed the man. He looked around the room waving his pistol about like a mad man. "You all work for me now. Or else I killed you all." As he spoke, the people surrounding him began to nod. More so out of fear. The pirate had just killed their last leader, and they had seen the way he had murdered the other crew and droids.

Cadan looked around the room. "Now if you want to live, you'll fly us me to Drunkenwell." He said as he pointed the weapon to the closest crew member.

[Tiali Orazio]

Tiali opens the air lock door, he lifts himself up into his ship "Well when I say one, it's a droid." Stepping up, his hand raises to his ear piece "R9 we have a visitor, ready up the engines." A loud hum from the engines echo around the ship, he begins to make his way to the bridge, But before he does he turns lady Kay "Be nice to R9 his my best friend." he then continues to the bridge.

Kay of course took a bit longer to get on board, given that she was basically climbing in with one hand. But she managed and soon caught up to him as he approached the bridge. She raised a brow as he warned her to be nice. "Don't worry. I'm nice to everyone." Still he didn't know who she was and she was glad.

Once on the bridge she looked through the viewport at the luxury yacht, looking a bit worse for wear after the pirate attack. She worried for Jed and hoped that he was okay. Kay kept a firm but not white knuckle grip on her case. So much for becoming a member of the Board of Directors for the Banking Federation. Perhaps that idea was doomed from the start.

 

[Tiali Orazio]

Air sprays from the air lock connection into the vacuum of space disconnecting from the Yacht. The D15 mantis patrol craft spins off speeding towards the empty of space, its flickering engine illuminating the dreary void of space.

Tiali spins in his chair to face Lady Kay "So I was thinking Tattooine, I want to get a drink. You?"

Raising a brow curiously "Also what's in the satchel?"

Kay thought it over for a second. Tattooine could work. There was plenty of transportation that she could hire from there, as well as communicate with her friends. "Tattooine sounds great."

She then raised a brow as he questioned her satchel. Hmmm. No harm in letting him know most of what was inside. It might keep him from snooping. "My satchel? Oh I have a pouch of tea leaves, my little kettle and a couple of cups, my water bladder and food rations, and my blaster. Why? Were you looking for anything in particular?" She had to remind herself that he was one of the bad guys and had wanted to try and earn credits from her.

 

[Tiali Orazio]

Chuckle slightly and smiles "I was just Curious" he turns to the ships controls inserting the coordinates for Tatooine. "Sorry I'm used to talking to pirates, I haven't even introduced myself nor do I know your name. I'm Tiali It's a... " He stopped for a moment he was about to say it's pleasure to meet her but really it's not when he thinks about it.

He pushes the hyperdrive lever forward the ship shakes shooting off into the dreary darkness off space on course for Tatooine.

"Anyway what is your name?"
