Hand's Off My Man

[Dax Perl]

"Close by!" Dax responded as he deflected another bolt. The Trandoshan disappeared around another corner. Dax followed and stopped suddenly. A crowd stood before him, the bobbing heads of Neimodians obscuring any view of the Trandoshan. "Leo, I've lost him." Dax said into his comlink, frustrated, "Got anything?"

Kalyn continued running and turned the same corner the Trandoshan and the young man had turned, except the man stopped abruptly causing Kalyn to run into the back of him, she winced and rubbed her head. "Ow...Sorry."

[Dax Perl]

Dax rubbed the back of his own head as the girl ran into him, skulls colliding. A curse left his lips as he deactivated his saber. "Yeah, yeah its fine." he said begrudgingly. "C'mon." He moved into the crowd and began to weave between the beings. He let the Force guide him...he just hoped it was guiding him in the right direction.

[Leo Vandermolen]

Leo dashed along the rooftops, leaping from one building to the next. Dax had lost the target but Leo was still on the hunt, he caught sight of some Nemodians being shoved over about a block away from his position, only problem was, the block was on the other side of the main street and Leo's only option would be to jump, right over Dax. "I've got him." A slick smile came across Leo's face as an idea sprang to mind, "Remember that walker back on Shiva?" Leo asked Dax through the comms, "Well... I'm gonna need another boost." Leo sprinted, full burst towards the end of the building and leaped across the main square, soaring above the pedestrians below, right above Dax's head. He wouldn't make the jump, well... he wouldn't make it without a little help.

[Dax Perl]

Dax's face contorted in confusion as he listened to his partner. Shiva? "Yeah, why?...aw chit!". The mercenary had jumped straight off the building in an attempt to land on the otherside. Dax reached out with his hand, by extension, the Force and lobbed the man the remaining distance.

"A little more warning next time?" the Knight growled as he shoved his way through crowd to the otherside, following beneath [member="Leo Vandermolen"], letting the mercenary become his eyes and ears.

[Kalyn Tyree]

Kalyn let a light laugh escape her lips as the young man bickered about giving him more warning. "Guessing that's your partner." The young man then began to manoeuvre his way through the crowd, she followed behind him, pushing past people and sometimes getting shoved backwards a little as more of the stubborn Nemodians continued making their way through the crowd in the opposite direction to the young man and Kalyn. She rolled her eyes at them and continued to fish her way out of the crowd.

[Dax Perl]

"Yes. He on the other hand isn't a-" he paused to shove aside a Neimodian, to their protest, as he bolted away once again chasing their prey, "He's not a Forcer. He's an idiot." he jabbed through the comm.

By now the lightsaber had been returned to his belt, the slugthrower still in hand. A couple of the more observant Neimoidians noticed the blacj metal and recoiled in fear as the Knight passed them. Where'd the Trandoshan go?

[Kalyn Tyree]

Kalyn smirked and followed once again, running out as soon as they broke free of the crowd. They'd lost the Trandoshan but didn't cease looking for the scum. "He can't have gotten too far...could he?" She said from behind, doubting what she had said as she looked down side alleys looking for the bounty hunter.

As they walked Kalyn noticed how some people had fear on their faces as they saw the two of them, lightsaber, weapons and all. She went up closer to them, "It's alright, we're not here to harm any of you." She assured the locals, not giving them too much information, but assuring their safety. If they knew a highly dangerous bounty hunter was roaming their streets everyone would go nuts.

[Dax Perl]

"Keep up!" Dax called over his shoulder as he pounded down the alley. Judging from the buildings, they were approaching the Warehouse district. The building were becoming more utilitarian from what Dax could tell...or at least utilitarian by Neimoidian standards.

His chest heaved in and out as he sucked in breath after breath. They had to have been running down several blocks by now. His legs ached with fatigue. The human body wasn't designed for long sprints. The Trandoshan was surely faring better.

[Kalyn Tyree]

Kalyn scoffed as the man continued to run off. "One minute he doesn't want me to help, the next he wants me right by his side." She started muttering to herself, slightly smiling as she laughed at her own comment. She took after him and continued running, following up the alleyway and approaching numerous warehouses. The Trandoshan could be anywhere!

"Hope your partners having better luck, has he got anything?" She asked. She continued searching the crowds for any suspicious movement, any sort of sign that the Trandoshan had gone another way.

"I prefer the term, innovative." Leo responded into the comms as he raced across the rooftops. "I've still got him in my sights, he's heading down an alley to your left, I'll circle round, try to get the drop on him." Le kept going, his stamina was fairly drained from that last stunt and fatigue had begun to set in, but he kept pushing onward. They weren't gonna let this one escape that easily.

[Dax Perl]

Dax nodded to himself, "Follow him into the alley, I'll cut him off!" Dax ordered the Padawan as charged down the street, pushing aside the cursing Neimoidians. If they could box him in, or even get the drop on him, it was all over for the man.

The Knight found the end of the alley quickly. Just barely large enough for two people to stand shoulder to shoulder in. Immaculately clean for an alley way...more Neimoidian pride he imagined...he stowed away his saber once more. Itd be no use in such tight quarters.

[Kalyn Tyree]

Kalyn nodded and followed the orders she was given. She continued to chase the Trandoshan and made a sharp turn into the alleyway on her left.

The alleyway was tight, she was confident that they were going to capture the Trandoshan this time, he wasn't going to escape, not with these circumstances, at least she hoped. She knew they were going to cut the Trandoshan off at the end of the alleyway, so Kalyn slowed her pace down just in the slightest, in an attempt to catch her breath, though still fast enough to continue the chase.

[Dax Perl]

The Trandoshan came to a halt, the gleaming metal of a slugthrower pointed at him. Without warning Dax pulled the trigger. The Trandoshan, maybe smart, maybe lucky, maybe it was a gut feeling, dived out of the way, not a moment too late. The slig span through the air. The bullet just barely grazed the Padawan as she rounded the corner, strands of hair falling, otherwise uninjured.

[Kalyn Tyree]

Kalyn saw and heard the shot from the man down the end of the alleyway, she reached out with her hand and was about to use the Force to move the Trandoshan out of the way as she was ordered to bring him in alive but before she could do anything the bounty hunter dodged the attack himself, the same attack that was now coming for Kalyn. Kalyn's eyes went wide as she just moved out of the way from the shot, uninjured. She might've gone off at the man for almost shooting her but this wasn't the time. She started to close in on the Trandoshan. Standing back there wasn't going to allow any arrest, she needed to get closer in order to capture him.

[Leo Vandermolen]

Leo finally reached the the building parallel to the alley way, Dax and his new buddy had already beaten him there as Leo had to cross another large gap that had forced him to go to ground for a short while. Leo crouched above the alley, peering down he noticed the Transdoshan backed up against the wall, the other two closing in. Dax fired but almost hit the girl instead, Leo wasn't going to miss... He drew his Westar and aimed at the bounty-hunter's calf, he had some valuable information that could help the Outback and killing him was secondary. Leo fired his gun, the bolt slicing right through through the air, straight towards his leg.

[Dax Perl]

The bullet cut through the air and buried itself in the meaty flesh of the Trandoshan's lag, a cry of pain and a gush of blood being illicited from the creatures mouth. Before the man could even look up from his place in the ground, Dax's saber roared to life, the distinct humming echoing in the man's skull.

[Kalyn Tyree]

Kalyn watched what unfolded in front of her wide-eyed. The shot flew through the air rapidly, fortunately only hitting the Trandoshans leg and no where life-threatening. Kalyn's head snapped back up as she heard the snapping and crackling sound of the young man's lightsaber being ignited. She feared he was going to kill the bounty hunter. She started running towards the bounty hunter as the man started to walk towards the bounty hunter. "Don't kill him!" She shouted.

[Dax Perl]

"I'm not going to kill him. Not yet at least." the Rogue said as the Padawan approached. The Trandoshan's weapons flotaed up from his belt and clattered to the ground behind him. "Cuff him." he ordered.

[member="Kalyn Tyree"], [member="Leo Vandermolen"]

 

[Kalyn Tyree]

She heard the rogue jedi saying he wasn't going to kill him, at least not yet. Kalyn had no plans on killing him anytime, she had to watch closely between those two, she couldn't afford to have him killed after she was specifically told to bring him in alive. The young man ordered her to cuff the Trandoshan, she did as she was told. Hooking her lightsaber back onto her belt and grabbing the cuffs she took both the bounty hunters arms behind him.
