Father to Father, Killer to Killer (Jarven Zexxel)

BlackFires were small compared to other star fighters, and didnt have hyperdrive systems, thats why when the Ryuk came out of hyperspace, it stayed behind while Romeo took one down to the Red Raven's capital. He was here for one reason, and one reason only. To see his daughter. The news of his death rang echoes, but the news of his return was silent. How would this be received by his daughter, but Patricia? That was, until Solan had told Romeo the new news. She was remarried. Romeo had burned down a few drapes of the Shadow Dynasty after this in anger. Beaten his trainees in combat severely, and took his anger out on Celty.

This was, however, the wrong way to react. Romeo had to calm down, and understand the reasoning behind it, and be logical about it. But he was back? He should have every right to see his daughter when he so chose to. The BlackFire broke atmosphere, and was finally in the skies of the capital.

"This, is Romeo Sin, requesting permission for a hangar bay to land in."

Jarven was in his office, collecting all of his important items from RR Headquarters before he finally left the old place behind. He didn't let anyone in on him being here. Anonymity was the best option here. The RR knew that he had a darn good reason to retaliate against them...Well, maybe not all of them, but their new leadership did. His knee still ached from when the RR leader had decided to levitate him in the air to be target practice for multiple sniper platoons and a nearby TU captain. All in the name of preserving a traitorous alliance with the TU.

Romeo would likely be allowed to land, but Jarven knew nothing about that. He was simply concerned with getting his work, research, and tech out of this place, loaded onto the shuttle, and get back home.

He was getting headaches again, so after he loaded up the last of his stuff, he locked the shuttle, went to the bar, ordered a lemonade, and popped one of his pills before drinking it down. He sat there and relaxed, staring at the minimally busy casino for one last time.

After receiving the okay to land, Romeo was now stepping foot on the planet for the first time. It was like Nar Shadaa, only cleaner, and less hutty. Romeo came in only his normal attire, black robes with red markings of his family on it. They clung to his body with just enough looseness for agile moving. On either side were two lightsabers on his belt, and a mask that clung to the right one. The mask was part of his Dark Fury armor, but it would be okay. He placed it on, and watched as it lit up with the HUD. This way, Romeo could figure out who he was looking for, Patricia's new husband. Someone who had some interesting background, with what little he could find on the guy. Seems decent to me, I guess.... his thoughts to himself. As he began to move forward, people moved quickly out of his way, and he never noticed, he was too busy reading the little intel on what he could find. They guy apparently liked this casino that was a little ways up ahead, and this was where he could find the man.

After a few minutes of walking that felt like hours among the planet as it seemed everything was moving all at once, Romeo could see where this place could distract one, he found himself at the front of the casino. Two bouncers, much larger than Romeo, stood at the front, with two more standing on either side of the doors. When he go the doors, ignoring the first two guards, the next two stopped him.

"You're not getting in here man." The larger of the two at the door spoke with a hand stuck out. Romeo looked at the hand, it was on his chest, and looked back up at the man. A few seconds later, the two guards at the door crashed through the doors, and skidded across the floor, with the other two coming to his back. They found themselves lifting in the air as he used the force to send the sailing backwards. The door left glass, and other debris on the floor, making a crunching sound as Romeo stepped forward into the casino. More guards showed up, now with blaster pointed at him. "Stop!" One shouted at him. "You done karked up man!" Romeo stared at the men, counting four more, this time they were smaller, and had suits on.

Jarven was sipping down the last of his lemonade when he heard a loud crash. His whole body jumped a little at the sudden stimuli, but then he simply turned in his seat to see the spectacle. Some kid hopped up on the force seemed to be handing the security their own credentials. It gladdened his heart that the Red Ravens were already getting a small portion of what they deserved. He couldn't stay and watch, though. This was going to attract attention and Jarven couldn't be seen here by RR leadership. That would lead to questioning and a whole lot of awkward situation.

He got up, left a tip, and walked to the stairwell that lead up to the landing pad. When he got to the doors, he looked at the dark haired man and flashed him a smile before opening the door and walking up the stairwell, the door shutting behind him.

The men yelled something like put up your hands, the people in the casino turned to look at the scene, and a man even stood up to leave, but stopped. He looked Romeo, as if he knew who he was, and smiled then walked through a door, gone from sight. Another shout towards Romeo brought him back to reality which wasnt good for the guards' health. A snap, hiss and both lightsabers became active. In an blink of eye, Romeo rushed forward blocking the first two guards to fire, and then slashed the weapons in one swipe. The Dark Jedi came around with a round house kick, and scorched them with fire that came from his feet. They fell backwards in cries of pain as they were forever blinded from burned eyes that were now probably melting out of their sockets.

The next two fired continuous shots to which Romeo only blocked then shot his hands in both of their directions, lifting them up as they grasped for their throats in choking. The next second there was a crushing noise that was audible to everyone, the two went limp. Romeo released them, and watched their limp bodies drop. He deactivated his weapons, and moved towards the door, and opened it, making his way in to see a staircase. With one hop, Romeo leaped into the air, sailing a few staircases above, then landed a case above the man. There, he waited.

It wasn't everyday that you saw a man fly and startle the heck out of you TWICE. He paused right there on the stair wells and stared at the stranger standing stiffly right in the middle of the stairwell above him. The mannerisms of this person were giving off creep signals, so he cocked his head and look inquisitively and dumb-foundedly at him. After an awkward silence had passed by and the figure didn't seem to move, he kept walking up the stairs.

When he got close to [member="Romeo Sin"], he kept walking while he asked, "Can you walk and talk? You're not going to want to be here when the big boys come out."

Romeo nodded at the man, ignoring the looks he had been given, and followed next to him. He had no idea what to expect from this man, he was already acting strange, he didn't even know if the man knew about him, though, he probably did. He would have to choose his words carefully. "I'm looking for a man named Jarven Zexxel...are you him?" Romeo spoke with a soft, but very cold voice. The Dark Jedi knew this was going to become something more than he wanted it to, and he had prepared for it, but that didn't change how awkward this was. How does one father ask another about their daughter? He replaced the lightsabers back on his belt, then removed his back, and also placed on his belt. He stared at the man with blood red eyes, a few strands of white now appearing in his hair. His face was a few years younger looking than his daughter had last saw it, but his voice, and eyes were still the same. "You know who I am."

 

[Jarven Zexxel]

This masked man was surprisingly straight forward with him. The last person who asked if he was someone in particular was a two-bit assassin who had misread his own bounty. This didn't look like a two-bit anything, but that didn't exclude the possibility of a lightsaber sprouting out of his own neck if he was straight with this guy. This debacle lead to some sage inner dialouge.

Kark, this guy is hardcore...Blech. I never liked Force users. Well, I mean, I like my wife. What am I saying? I LOVE my wife! She's the best thing that's happened to me!

He responded to [member="Romeo Sin"] by saying with a straight face, "Who, Jarven? Nah, he's been a no-show ever since the boss got him shot up on Geonosis, or so they say."

The man revealing his face did nothing to defeat his serial killer/butt stabber/bounty hunter theory. He looked at him quizzically as he boldly proclaimed that last statement. Jarven said, "No, can't say I do."

They were about halfway to the roof when they could hear shouts from security bursting through the ground floor door.

Jarven asked, "Would you like to break into a casual jog or a desperate sprint?"
