Fun and games await! (Gatano Tarahn)

@Gatano Tarahn

Kha'ro piloted through the asteroid field; his autopilot malfunctioned and sent him right into it. He gritted his teeth as he focused. He calmed himself, and let the force guide him through the spaces in the field. He let out a sigh of relief as he popped out of the dangerous area. Deciding to work on repairing his autopilot, he grabbed a hydrospanner, and got to work.
 
"Let's hope that wasn't important." Gatano whispered to himself, frantically attempting to replace a few wires he had just clumsily tripped over whilst stowing away in this ship he had decided to hitch a ride on during it's brief stop in a lowly spaceport on Coruscant. Hopefully those wires weren't connected to anything of importance, like the ships auto-pilot systems.

It seems that while Gatano unskillfully fumbled with the cords, his loud self had attracted the attention of the pilot of this ship. Time to make himself scarce. He hid behind a nearby bulkhead, hoping whoever was rounding the corner into this hallway wouldn't see him duck into cover.
 
Kha'ro flinched, he was zapped as he was fixing his autopilot. Before he could move, he saw the detonator that was going to explode on his autopilot. As it detonated, he released a blast of the force all around him, defending him slightly. He leaped backwards with a backflip, as he yelled, "WHO'S ON HERE?!"

Whelp, the jig is up. Whoever owns this ship knew Gatano was aboard. It would be a very short amount of time before they decided to draw their blaster and try to sniff out their aforementioned stowaway.

Gatano took both his lightsabers out, and sling the inactive hilts into the hallway where the ship's pilot could see them. But he kept his blaster on his belt just in case.

"Whoa there, friend. I'm just a simple jedi, in need of a little transport. Look, I've even dropped my lightsabers." He said, raising his hands and gently stepping out into the lit hallway. He kicked both laserswords forward a few inches, bringing them to the attention of whoever stood before him...

...meanwhile, his blaster was secretly hidden beneath his jedi robes, able to be drawn in a split second if Gatano's new friend proved to be dangerous....
 
Gatano silently sighed in relief... Until he relevated at the concept of a second stowaway.

Using the force, he hastily retrieved his lightsabers, placing one back on his belt, while the other remained ready in his right hand.

"You truly believe there's another stowaway aboard your ship? Might I suggest investing in a security system?" Gatano jokingly prodded his new jedi friend.

He turned, and surveyed the area behind him, thinking for a moment...

"Surely if you're a jedi, you can sense this person aboard your ship? I'm too... Unfamiliar with this place, I can sense a third presence now that you mention it... But I can't see where. Do you know what part of the ship he's in, master... What your name?" Gatano turned back to the jedi, questioning him further.

Kha'ro
 
Kha'ro focused with the force, searching for the other. "I'm no master," He muttered, "Just a padawan." Just then, he saw someone flicker behind the other jedi. Someone was using a cloaking device. Kha'ro hastily shoved the other jedi out of the way as he saw a vibrosword appear with who looked like a mercenary, helmet on and ready to kill. Kha'ro's hands flickered with lightning, then stopped. He hated using that power, the power that had appeared when he killed an old friend who became a dark jedi. He was sliced at with the sword, and his chest was bleeding awfully. He gasped and spluttered as he released a blast of the force, pushing the intruder to the ground. Kha'ro stepped back, now grasping his chest, trying to breathe.

Regaining his composure and realizing what had just taken place, Gatano drew one of his lightsabers.

"That was a mistake, friend." He said, directed toward the unfortunate mercenary.

He gripped the hilt and firmly twisted it apart, separating the hilt into two short sections connected by a short chain. Two seven inch blades ignited from opposite ends of either hilt, further illuminating the corridor with a reflective green light.

"Now... I'll be taking that." He said, motioning toward the mercenary's vibroblade. Using the force, he roughly tore the weapon from his mercenary's grasp.

The mercenary now stood helpless, but seemed to reach for a secondary weapon.

"Don't do it, friend," Gatano whispered.

The stowaway drew his blaster and fired three shots into Gatano, who was luckily able to block two, while the third missed. He jumped into the ground next to his wounded friend, [member="Kha'ro"] as blaster bolts furiously bounced around the hall. Eventually, one found its place in the chest of the mercenary, knocking him off his feet.

"That was close, Kha'ro..." Gatano noticed the gash on his chest. "Let's get you some help, do you have a medbay?" He asked, hauling the wounded man to his feet.
 
Kha'ro nodded at the other jedi who had helped him with this unknown enemy. He said, "I'll get the the medbay, you make sure that guy doesn't have anything else on him, okay?" Kha'ro could easily deal with pain, he was able to block it out. He stumbled to the medbay and grabbed a syringe. It contained a liquid which would drastically boost Kha'ro's healing rate. He plunged it into his wound, and the liquid shot into it. Kha'ro sat down, more embarassed than worried. He seriously let that happen to him? He would ask the other jedi, "So, whats your name?" The next time he saw him.

[member="Gatano Tarahn"]
 
"Will do, [member="Kha'ro"]." He said to the wounded jedi as he painfully limped away. Gatano found it especially peculiar how the jedi didn't even attempt to ignite his lightsaber.... Perhaps he didn't have one. Gatano waved the thought aside and continued on to search the body of their assailant.

As Gatano carefully walked over to the body of the now-dead stowaway, who still clutched the very blaster that delivered his demise. How ironic, Gatano thought, a macabre, fading smirk across his face.
Morbid humor aside, Gatano shook down the corpse, finding nothing other than a few measly credits (which he pocketed), the blaster, a couple of ammo packs, and some lint. Something of too much use.

If it was ok with his new friend, Gatano wished to ask Kha'ro if he could keep the vibroblade and blaster for saber parts. In the meantime, he patiently waited next to the dead mercenary for the hopefully recovered jedi to return.
 
Kha'ro stumbled out of the medbay and saw the other jedi. Kha'ro asked, "Whats your name then?" as he walked. The wound was not bleeding, but if Kha'ro cared about pain, he'd be in hell. He was force gripping the wound, stopping blood from gushing out, but crushing some nerve cells. Kha'ro embarrasedly said, "I can't believe I reacted so slowly. I'm not on the top of my game today, I guess." He would see the dead mercenary, and unmask him. Kha'ro noticed that something was rattling in the helmet. He looked in and saw a... A sith holocron?! It would whisper into Kha'ro's head, evil, dark thoughts. He saw a sith lord behind him, knighting him, congratulating him on killing his old jedi master. He reacted by screaming, "NOOOO!" and as rage from the holocron filled him, that scream became a force scream, damaging the ship. He blasted a force lightning at the sith lord, and the illusion faded.

Kha'ro clutched his head, not focusing enough to grip his wound, and it bled. He was more worried for the other jedi, the dark thoughts, the anger. It would happen to him too.

"Gatano Tarahn, friend. Pleased to meet you. And no worries, every dog has his day." Gatano replied, giving a short bow. "I didn't find much on our compatriot here, mind if I keep-"

Suddenly, cold gripped the ship like a vise, chilling Gatano to the core. He felt cold, confused... Afraid?

But there was nothing to fear... No enemy, no immediate danger. Not until he watched in horror as Kha'ro fell backwards, clutching the hilt of a red lightsaber, blade extended into the young jedi's chest. His paralyzingly painful scream of "No!!" as he fell backwards made Gatano's blood curdle. He saw the jedi's murders come forth from the shadows, a tall helmeted man in a black suit, a red Zabrak with black tattoos dressed in black robes, a pale Muun barely breathing through a mask, and a cackling, shriveled old man wearing a hood.

He crawled backwards in a desperate attempt to get away. His lightsabers vanished from his belt, and his blaster disintegrated like cotton in a fire. He felt a dark force all around him, a cold and terrible influence, sourced from the body of the dead mercenary. It was terrifying.

He felt relieved though, seeing some of his friends suddenly appear before his eyes in a flash of bright light, an orange Twi'lek, a dark-skinned human, and Mandalorian bounty hunter he once knew. He witnessed as each of apparitions before him charged forward to his defence. But each was struck down violently by the four Sith. Gatano could only utter one word as each of his friends were killed.

"No!!!"

He woke up in a blink. Realizing it was just a vision. He looked for Kha'ro, who was still standing, alive and well. "What... Just happened?" He asked, staring at the small red pyramid in Kha'ro's hands.
 
Kha'ro looked at [member="Gatano Tarahn"] grimly, "You know those jedi holocrons?" he said,"This is a sith one. The mercenary was either a dark jedi, or a sith. Chances are he used the force to dim my reactions when I was hit." Suddenly, Kha'ro would cough and drop the holocron. He managed, "Coming into contact with it hurts sometimes!"

After a moment, Kha'ro looked at his friend, worried, "We need to keep it, to keep it from other sith... But be careful. It filled me with rage, as it will any force sensitive around it..."
 
Gatano stared at the little red holocron. Strange for their to be so much trouble over something so small..

"Can we destroy it?" Gatano asked [member="Kha'ro"]. "I really don't feel like keeping it on your ship is a good idea... And I need to be getting off soon, I'm headed to Dantooine, and I'm a little off schedule. But I can stick around as long as you need help dealing with this... Sith Holocron."
 
Kha'ro looked at [member="Gatano Tarahn"], thinking. He says, "I believe I have heard that they can be destroyed, but whether the darkness inside leaves to roam the galaxy, I have no idea. I shall give it to my master, and seek her guidence on this. My ship has been damages, so I think we might need to fix a few things before I can drop you off on Dantooine." Just then, Kha'ro heard the holocron whisper to him, 'kill this other jedi, claim his sabers, claim all he has! He entered your ship without permission, KILL HIM!' This time, Kha'ro was ready, and so it didn't phase him, but it did annoy him.
 
"I'm cool with making a stop before we get there. I was supposed to be getting some lightsaber parts, thinking about starting up a saber-building and repairing service for Jedi."

Gatano noticed his friend pause for a minute, staring into the holocron with a strange look on his face.

"You okay, friend?" He asked, gently shaking his friend's shoulder. "Don't you go all Frodo on me with that thing, mate."
 
Gatano saw his friend pause for a moment, staring strangely at the holocron

"You okay, friend?" He gently shook his friend's shoulder, as he asked.

"Put that thing down for a bit, we'll talk to your master or get whatever repairs we need done." Gatano sighed. "Let's just get rid of that thing... Soon. It's giving me the heebie-jeebies."
