Chiss Me Deadly

[Eeth Forte]

Eeth Forte, Makeb bodyguard and Barbosa the Hutt spy, was having a good day. Although his home planet was in the midst of a government and infrastructure collapse due to a successful siege by the underground crime syndicate, The Red Ravens, not to mention he'd most likely lost his job with the Makeb mining governor, the tall, powerfully-built Chagrian had what he considered to be the best consolation prize. A new slave girl.

The Chagrian currently had the Red Raven woman chained to a pole that bisected the living room of his home, a stone structure buried deep inside one of the Makeb mining mesas. Weapons, Makeb antiques, and hunting trophies like his pride and joy, an enormous Krayt skull, decorated his abode.

Eeth paced around her like a large predatory cat, licking his lips with his black forked tongue, chewing over what to do with her next. He crossed over to her and put his hand on her chin, tipping her head up with a clawed finger, forcing her to look at him.

"So what do you think of your new Master so far, slave?"

All the fears and memories of the past came to head as she stood tied to a pole hands above her head. Her heart beat a million miles per minute as she could only watch him circle her. Ana had no idea what was coming next but she had a few ideas none which were good.

Tears threatened to stream down her cheeks as she thought about [member="Cryax Bane"]. It was possible that she would never see the man she was crazy about, loved ever again. She may never know what actually happened to him or if he safe. She would never be able to hold or kiss him again. They would never be able to take that private resort beach vacation now. She would find a way back to him, she had to hold on to hope.

Holding back these tears she looked into the eyes of her so called Master. "I don't think much of you." She glared at him. Ana was not going to let him see her flinch.

[Cryax Bane]

Cryax Bane was stationed at Archon Palace, which was now completely under the control of the Red Ravens. The Chiss was doing what he did best, slicing through the Makeb HoloNet. He was desperately searching through names, locations and addresses, trying to find out where the Chagrian who stole Anastasia might have taken her.

Cryax didn't know the man's name, but his crawler was cross-referencing the few details he had, like the man's species and skin color, plus the weapons he carried, such as his electro-whip. The crawler pinged as it came up with a very solid lead. The governor's bodyguard Eeth Forte. Cryax cracked his knuckles while he waited for the computer to render a three dimensional Holo of Forte, and when it flickered to life, sure enough, there he was.

He quickly downloaded the man's address to his Datapad and looked around the palace for a cache of armor and weapons. He knew that since the man had taken Ana to be his slave, he had to move quickly before horrible things happened.

Bingo. Cryax found a stash of weapons in a hidden room. He put on an armored vest and grabbed the first weapons he could get his hands on, one of them being that flamethrower he'd been dying to use. Finally, commandeered two of the Ravens' own Mirari Bodyguard Droids, his personal favorites. Then he was off.

Eeth's lethorns twitched. Her answer was not the one that the Chagrian wanted and he raised an eyebrow at her, appraising her with his cold blue eyes.

While sociopathic, Eeth had a definite weak spot for pretty girls, and he didn't like to see his new slave sad. He thought maybe some food would cheer her up, so he went into his kitchen and got her some sliced Bantha meat. He crossed back over to his slave girl and unchained one of her hands so that she could use it to feed herself.

After giving her the meat he then he stood before her. "See, I'm not so bad now, am I?" He narrowed his eyebrows. "What do you even seen in that skinny Chiss anyway? You have a real man standing before you now." He grinned again, flashing his fangs at her.

She expected to get slapped she knew the Graug would have done. They had their ways of making their slaves behave. She instead curiously watched as he left to the kitchen wondering what he was doing.

Picking up some of the meat the young woman sniffed it before eating it. If he had truly wished to kill her he would have done so already not waste time dragging her here. "Thank you," she paused looking back up to him. "I suppose your better than other slave holders." As she wished the little meat that she had taken Ana pondered his question. What did he care what she thought of Cryax? It was none of his business anyway, he would only use the information to hurt her.

"He is more of a man than you'll ever be. You only win because you have me chained up. If I had a choice I would be with him. I love him plain and simple for reasons which are my own."

Ana wouldn't use names in case this monster decided to try and track [member="Cryax Bane"] down himself.

Eeth grinned. "I'm glad you like the meat. I spiced it myself. My species loses its sense of taste after a certain age, so I'm glad it tastes ok." He blinked his cold blue eyes as listened to her answer his question about the Chiss.

He hadn't expected the woman to leap into his arms, but he also was deluded enough to think that winning her affections would be easier than this. Eeth sighed deeply as she whimpered on about her lover boy.

"Pateesa," he said in Huttese. "Your Chiss is most likely dead. Either that or he is in the hands of Barbosa the Hutt's slavers. There is no way the man could escape that many jawas."

The Chagrian grinned. "Your fate is sealed I'm afraid. You and I will soon leave for another Outer Rim planet since it is no longer safe for us here on Makeb. But don't worry, wherever we go, all of this will be yours." He swept out his hand at his lavishly decorated stronghold. "I plan to make you my Dobyen."

[Cryax Bane]

Cryax, along with his two Mirari Bodyguard Droids crept through the tunnels of the Makeb mesa where his target Eeth Forte was supposed to be located. He was surprised to find that the man didn't have any guards stationed outside his home. Must have been those budget cuts that Isaac Ideus mentioned. The Chiss slicer spied a couple of security cameras posted up near the tunnel ceiling. With a nod of his head, one of the Droids silently shot out both cameras. "Atta boy," he whispered.

Cryax knew he had to move fast and he hurried to the security terminal on the wall besides the Chagrian's door, plugging his Datapad into one of its sockets. This was going to be an easy slice, but extremely risky nonetheless. If Forte discovered that his external security feeds were inoperable, it could tip him off. And then Cryax would be wrapped up like a nice, big present right outside the man's door. As he quickly started to break the code in the system's network, he motioned for the droids to ready their weapons just in case the Chagrian poked his ugly head out.

"Your right, he is probably dead. I should move on and be happy, right?" Ana spoke suddenly as she sighed. She realized that fighting with the man was not going to get her unchained. If he unchained her and lowered his guard she would probably have a better chance of fighting him off and freeing herself. She had to do so before he took her off Raven territory.

"If I'm to be your bride shouldn't I not be chained up? This is no way to start things off plus I do have to get a dress. Shouldn't I help prepare for our departure?" She lightly smiled batting her eyes. "Please?"

Once Ana got out of here she would be looking for more training herself. As a warrior she was embarrassed to have allowed this to happen but for a moment she had blanked out. She couldn't allow things to go further than this.

All of a sudden the slave was cooperative, and as suspicious as Eeth was about her sudden change in motivation, he was also quite pleased. She seemed to like the idea of being his bride and was even talking about getting a dress. He let his mind briefly entertain their wedding, with her in a beautiful gown and he with polished ebonium spheres decorating his lethorns.

The pretty woman was very hard to say no to, and so the Chagrian acquiesced, unfastening the cuff around her other wrist and letting her down from the pole. Holding her arm with one clawed hand, he took out a pair of binders and bound her hands in front of her instead. After all, there were weapons hanging on the wall. And he wasn't an idiot. He then sat her on his sofa and sat right down next to her grinning.

"There, are we more comfortable now?"

[Cryax Bane]

As the security system began to initialize, Cryax felt a wave of adrenaline. In a few more seconds and with a few more clicks, the door would open. He nodded to the security droids again. "Get ready. You know what to do." They had been instructed to kill the Chagrian on sight, but not at the expense of Anastasia. If the man was using her as a human shield, they'd stun him instead.

5-4-3-2-1. And go. The door opened with a hiss and the young Chiss stormed into the room with his flamethrower and two Mirari Bodyguard Droids. The scene was sickening. The Chagrian had his girlfriend on the couch and it looked he about to make some moves on her. Unfortunately the Chagrian was too close to Ana for the droids' detection software to register a lethal attack. They instead unleashed several rounds of stun bolts on the man and he fell off the sofa with a thunk. One of the droids yanked the man up by his scruff while the other one slapped some binders on him. They hauled him away with orders to take him to Archon Palace for interrogation.

Cryax rushed to Ana's side, wrapping her up in tight embrace. "Are you okay?"

As she took a seat Ana glanced around at the weapons wondering what here she could use to rescue herself. He would eventually trust her and take the cuffs off. That was when she needed to strike. She could only hope that would be before she ended up as his wife.

Before she had the chance to ask a stupid question about the so called wedding the doors blasted open and in came [member="Cryax Bane"] with a few droids. Her knight had come to rescue her from a miserable life.

"I'm alright, don't worry he didn't touch me." She stated as she wrapped her arms around him before passionately kissing him. He had no idea what it meant to her that he had come for her. "My hero," she smiled kissing him again her arms still wrapped tightly around him.

"He was planning on making me his bride. My guess is I was to have a few kids and be his slave housewife." Sighing she laid her head against his shoulder. Before they left she wanted to take the weapons but in a bit.

[Cryax Bane]

Cryax was beyond relieved to find out that Anastasia hadn't been hurt, but he was mortified that she ended up getting taken by the likes of Eeth Forte in the first place. He had made a promise back on Antecedent that night that he'd never let anyone harm her.

The thought that the Chagrian was going to try and make her his wife enraged him. If he were a better man, he'd have been able to defend himself and her against the man. He stroked her hair and smiled at her weakly. "I feel like I've completely failed you."

He knew one thing. He needed more training. Or cybernetics. Or, there was that Sith serum. However the method was going to become a battle Chiss if he had to. He couldn't let this happen again.

He looked down at her binders. "I think I can open these." He said as he scrambled to plug his Datapad a tiny socket on the underside of the restraints. He spent a couple of minutes just quietly code-breaking them and then they snapped off and she was free.

[member="Anastasia Rade"]

 

[Anastasia Rade]

Ana shook her head as he mentioned he had failed her. You didn't fail me, you saved me from losing my freedom once again. If you hadn't come to my rescue I would have been picking out wedding dresses or something with him. I'm not though, I'm here in your arms where I want to be." She laughed a little with a smile leaning forward to kiss him.

Being taken again had taught her once again how precious life was and how much Cryax meant to her. The thought that she may not see him again had scared her. As the cuffs came off she rubbed her wrists a little before getting up.

"I think we should take his things and get out of here. We can sell them or something and go away together for a little while. We should go on that private beach vacation. I just want to get away." She looked him in his eyes as she spoke. In hopes he would want to just get away with her.



[member="Cryax Bane"]

 

[Cryax Bane]

Cryax grinned. A beach vacation sounded a-karking-mazing after the day they'd had. "As soon as we get a lull in Raven business, I'll book us a flight. Pick a planet, any planet. I'll take you anywhere you want, love." He then helped her to her feet, giving her kisses on her sore wrists, where the binders had dug in.

"Looting and pillaging the guy's place is a great idea. I know a black market trader who would love some of this stuff." He inspected a pair of crossed katanas hanging on the wall. "The good news is, Makeb's ours now. We've seized control of the whole karking planet. Isn't that amazing?"

"We can send some droids in here to mop up all of his loot. I say we just get the frell out of here."

[member="Anastasia Rade"]

 

[Anastasia Rade]

She had a feeling that she may have to pull him away from business for a bit. After all it seemed as if the Ravens were quite successful and business was booming. Ana shouldn't have much trouble accomplishing that though.

"Agreed, let's get out of here. I have spent enough time in here as it is. You can tell me all about what you plan to do with the planet over drinks. I could use one about now." She smiled taking his hand to lead them both out of this mess. She was in no mood or shape to be running around doing much of anything else today.
