Beneath Crying Skies(Naboo/Open)

While Nulgath's armor was locked up and he was concentrating on reaching his partner the droid grabbed the Sith's lightsaber with his non-sword hand, in quick movements the mechanical cylinder was taken apart in droid's hand, the parts and crystals of the energy sword falling apart as the machine hid it inside one of his pouches.

"You have no idea how wrong you are, cupcake."

The droid would quip as he pulled his hand back, closing it in a fist.


And before Nulgath would have time to affect the bar owner's mind or his armor would deactivate he would see the metal being's hand, covered in Electro-Cestus to make things worse, speeding towards his face in a falcon-punch. And as the two collided Nulgath's world would hopefully go dark, the Sith knocked down by the war droid's falcon-punch, it wouldn't be the first time HK had to knock somebody out after all.


Anyhoo, if that punch worked and Nulgath would be knocked out it would be a nice transition because he would wake up in stun cuffs and in the courtyard of the Naboo Royal Palace, surrounded by Royal Guards with two HK-Copy Greycloaks nearby, and an awful ache on his face as a reminder of what just occurred.

But the good news would be, he would be facing [member="Feena Mason"] the current Queen of Naboo, and he wouldn't have to deal with sadistic war droids anymore.


However, if the punch wouldn't knock him out, something else could also be worked out, although that would mean he would stay in the droid's custody that longer, and the second Greycloak would already be seen at the bar's doorway.



As for Kezeroth, the droid had time to cross-reference any starships that visited Naboo registered to either Kezeroth, Nulgath, or registered to a spacer who did not alerted the local spaceport authorities or any stolen vehicles. So, the Gen'Dai would probably notice two droids in grey armor with equally grey cloaks cascading off of their shoulders watching the vehicle patiently. Whether he wanted to give it a shot or stay on the neutral land that was the starship it was up to him, it seemed the droids were more concerned with keeping the starship grounded right now rather than investigating if the possible bounty was aboard the vehicle.

The Swift punch to Nulgath as extremely rude and knocked him around. His face was bleeding and he was on the brink of summoning rage but his drinks cancelled that out. Nulgath struggled to stay awake intill he finally gave out and fell asleep. In Nulgaths mind his memories flashed and he remembered his past as a Hutt Slave. Being Knocked around how [member="HK-36"] did to him brought up bitter memories and it showed as Nulgath's face twitched now and then when he was asleep.

[Alexandra Feanor]

[member="Veino Garn"] [member="Varus Shatterstar"]

Alexandra whistled to herself as she entered the bar, her eyes drawn to [member="Nulgath Zardai"] and [member="HK-36"] for a moment before drawing the grey cloak and hood closer around her as she walked over to the one she was original coming to see. With a quick movement she took a seat next to Veino and smiled at the man he had been talking to. "Hey there Veino, hows it going and whos your new friend. In all her appearance into the bar and subsequent speech happened in less than a dozen seconds, having gone directly to teh table and not so much as hesitating in saying hello.

 

[Feena]

"Majesty?"

"Yes, I saw it, Marea," Feena answered, setting her work down and folding her hands together, "A Sith on Naboo? Curious."

She didn't look worried, not like her young handmaiden. She knew what the girl was thinking. He'd come to kill her. Didn't seem all that unlikely, but Feena somehow had her doubts. Besides, local law enforcement had already gotten the message and were no doubt on their way at this moment.
And the Queen? All she had to do now was wait. She rather wanted to meet this intruder.

Soon enough, the door to the courtyard would open as unconscious, and now cuffed, Nulgath would be brought before Feena by the two Greycloak droids and escort of security Naboo has sent to help them.

"Here is your Sith, I have taken his lightsaber and disposed of it. He is in your jurisdiction now, but we will inform Fondor of this, the Protectors may be interested in having him interrogated. I will have his confessions prepared on datapad by the end of the day, he has also claimed to be in league with a wanted Sith, presumable as well here on Naboo. Our two other Greycloak Brothers went to investigate their ship at the spaceport, you may consider in having them grounded and his partner tracked down."

And with that the droid would move forward, grabbing a contained of waking salts to wake up unconscious Nulgath, putting the salts right up to his nose to make him smell them through his breathing and come to, he did not wanted for the Sith to be awake too early, otherwise he would hear their schemes, but now he would be free to talk with Queen Feena of Naboo as the two droids took a few steps back, adjusting their cloaks to once more conceal the weaponry on their belts.

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Nulgath was groggy when he woke and the salts made he cough out a lung from inhaling one. Nulgath looked around confused but quickly noted he was uncuffed and weaponless. He quickly looked around the room with his eyes and then turned his head to look around. Nulgath knew this was bad and now his face hurt from [member="HK-36"] damned punch, holding his face he groaned and said " What... What is this? Where am I now? " The Zabraks voice sounded confused and he looked that way aswell.

Nulgath looked at his body.
- I'm Lucky My Suit is still on..Darn it- He thought.

Looking back behind him he saw to of the same Droids and then looked up at the Ceiling and groaned loud.

"Aarrrggghhh..."

[Feena]

When the Queen met the Exarch and the Sith in the courtyard, she was once again flanked by her handmaidens, but this time she instructed them to hang back some. She tilted her head to the side, examining the Zabrak with curious interest.

"...And just what do you want me to do with him? I don't want him here."

There was no malice in her voice, just casual concern. She stepped forward, ignoring the gasp and urge from a handmaiden to please stay back. She held up a hand to silence the girl and knelt down to face the Sith at his level.

"What are you doing on Naboo?" she asked softly, reaching out with a faintly glowing hand to heal the wound on his face, "You do know it is rude to show up to a party uninvited, yes?"

The droids wouldn't uncuff Nulgath just yet, since you know, the Sith with Dark Side powers and all,


Anyhoo at Feena's question one of the Greycloaks would shrug,

"Well right now he is your responsibility, I suggest summon transport for Fondor and put him under guard?"


For now pretty much Feena and Nulgath would be left to speak with each other as droids remained idle

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Nulgath looked at the Queen, She was a true sight to behold. Simply Beautiful. Nulgath stopped his gave and shook his head. He still was not sure why he was arrested but he closed his eyes when the Queen healed his wounds and he let out a exhale in relief. Nulgath's Green eyes locked to hers in surprise for the healing and he was unsure what to do now. Nulgath started his talking.

" I am Nulgath Zardai, I am to trade with the Gungans for a herb... And couple Ales from the Cantina. Kark if i knew being recurited to One Sith ment this Hostility... " Nulgath kept eye connection with the Queen, He didnt like this situation but it was OK for now. Nulgath tilted his head down and scratched his chin against his armor, it was itchy.

" .... And if Naboo is a Party, I wonder what Tatooine is.." Nulgath chuckled and looked back at the droid's thinking they were human and then frowned. " All joking aside.I... Wait? Why was i Arrested again?" Nulgath said looking at everyone.

"Well for one, you did just confessed to being a One Sith recruit, furthermore-"

The droid would play recording from their previous conversation,

"So you fancy yourself a warrior?"

"I am a Warrior and your the same as every other droid. Cold like your metal... Kezeroth is a unwanted Ally at the moment-"


"Protectorate, the nation you are in right now, is at war with the Sith, that makes you not only a soldier, warrior, behind enemy lines, you have also confessed of being an ally to a wanted fugitive in our nation, making you his accomplice as well. Those are the current charges against you."

The machine would explain.

 

[Feena]

The Queen found this somewhat amusing. She looked from the Sith to the droid, rising from the ground to stand tall again.

"You know, it is hard to argue with a droid who can record what you say."

She smiled good naturedly, like a mother who had just caught her child getting into some mischief.

"I will consider the advice given to me. You shall be transported to Fondor for questioning until we can get down to the bottom of this... curious situation. Do not worry too much. I will personally ensure that you will be comfortable while you are in my care."

She turned her attention to the Exarch and bowed low to him.

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Nulgath looked confused and scratched his chin against his armor again. " Fondor? Hmm. Are you concerned for your safety? I will be seeked out... Surely you know this?" Nulgaths voice had slight concern but he knew someone would come for him. Nulgath then shook his head to get a fly away from him. He looked at his Energy shackles and pondered, It was possible to break with his suit and enough rage but in the current momment. Not worth it.

"I wonder if they will come looking for a corpse."

The Greycloak quipped, the sound of his shattergun pistol cocking in his holster would be heard,

"Besides, we are already at war, the Sith are coming either way, and with you as a bait, well at least they will come on our terms."

Machine added in as the two droid guards bowed to Feena, although none of them were the Exarch himself, just his copies.

 

[Preliat Mantis]

The sound of Beskar boots clanking against pavement, and the dripping of rain sliding off the sturdiest metal in the galaxy stepped into the bar. A T-shaped visor glanced around, before he snarled. Someone had taken the Sith he was tracking elsewhere. He glared at the police man, before the local cop spilled the beans. It happened to help that Preliat was well known for being in the Army Of Light, and being a friend of the Protectorate.

The wolf began to creep towards the Queen's palace. Or Castle. Whatever.

Touching down on Naboo, Viqtor Locke left his ship docked at the spaceport and went and found himself a cantina. Only a good drink can revitalize a man after the flight from Coruscant.

Wandering into the cantina, the large armored man, finds himself a table and waves over a waitress. "You won't believe the week I've had. Just got off Coruscant earlier today. Met a giant sith lizard prophet there. Man those Sith take all sorts I guess. Better bring me a pretty strong drink girly." He turns away from the waitress and kicks his feet up onto the table, leaning back in the chair. He pulled a cigara and lit it with a match from one of his pouches. His eyes scan the room and then find the Holo-screens. He hoped this place was a bit less dangerous than the undercity of Coruscant, but having never been to Naboo he couldn't be sure.

From beneath the hood of his robes a stout armored figure would look across the bar at Viqtor, thick fingers running through his shaggy dark beard,

"Lad, ye don't know 'alve of it, at least ye don't 'ave ta fight 'em bastords fer yer livin', bloody vicious bunch they be, one o' 'em showed up in 'ere just a few minutes ago, 'e did, didn't even 'ide it."

The Khazund (i.e. Space Dwarf) would grumble, muttering some unintelligible curses under his ale-stained breath,

"They must'a be gettin' either more brave o' more stupid ta be crossin' this far into Protectorate without disguises, aye."

He would tip the large flagon he was sipping from in a nod to Viqtor, before continuing to tending to his drink.

Shargon arrived on a shuttle at the spaceport, He was their was a Reason.. Assassinate the Queen, Round 2. Shargon floated his gaseous body down the ramp of the shuttle his body color red and his eyes blue this time. His species the Filar-Nitzan's were few and almost identical with one another. They had no faces nor hairs they were just gas clouds that could walk and talk. Though last time Shargon was here he as a Black smoke with red eyes and with the ignorant of his kind and legends that spread about with them he blended in fine with the change of colors. Even had a change of name, even though Filar-Nitzans didnt have distinct DNA to match a Identity Shargon'Ta was filling his role just fine.

Shargon sighed as some people passed through him in a hurry, Shargon went slow and notices the Spaceports traffic was slow and there were Droids posted outside the enterance/exit of naboos space port. Odd he thought as he kept going His bgrey cloak fluttered with him.

Viqtor eyed stocky character from across the bar. At least more friendly than the last folks he spoke with. "I would gladly fight em, kill em too, 'specially if someone would pay me for it. The ol' Judge ain't drawn blood in a good while, and I wouldn't mind tearing something up with him either." He patted the large slugthrower pistol at his side as he spoke. He grabbed up his drink and chugged the strong liquor. Viqtor stood and walked over to the Khazund's table. "Viqtor Locke, currently struck with a terrible strain of poverty and unemployment. Yourself?"

 

[Ghorumgash Khazund-Veranum]

[member="Viqtor Locke"]

"Hrm."

The Khazund nodded slightly, looking over Viqtor's form,

"Call me 'Ghor' suppose, mercenary o' Protectorate, Khazund warrior. Been fightin' in 'heir campaigns 'ere and there, nothin' ta big, don't seem I made ta much impression yet ta 'ave me promoted, or get a raise even!"

He would grumble once more on that,

"And don't think ye want to rush inta a fight wit' Sith without proper equipment an' armor on ya."

The Space Dwarf would motion to Viqtor's suit,

"Ye got somethin' on tha' thing against lightsabers, telekinesis, o' lightnin' thrown at ya?"

 

[Laira Darkhold]

[member="Ghorumgash Khazund-Veranum"]

"Nah, might get something after I get some work goin, but for now, I'll stick to what I got." He patted his armor and looked over the stocky figure. "Even Sith employ grunts and mudsloggers just like everyone else, and somebody has to kill them just like the Sith themselves."

He took a seat, kicking his feet up and blowing a puff of smoke from his cigara up away from the bar. "You said something about Sith here on Naboo. What did they launch an attack here too?"
