"Are the normal preparations ready?" A voice said. Waking 13 from what seemed like years of slumber. The boys eyes slowly peeled open, his vision disorientated and fuzzy. All he could make out were bars and some large shapes moving around behind them. The voice continued to speak. "Yes sir, the hunt is nearly ready to begin. The prey have all been thrown out onto the at different points of the game reserve." Another voice said, its accent very familiar. 13's ears swiveled like radar dishes atop his head, listening to every little sound. He heard a constant hum all around him...and a breeze coming from the vents around him. He inhaled and smelled no land...not the land of the city...and nothing of earth. He knew he wasn't in space, there was a scent but it was faded. No why were high in the air...13 shook his head slightly. Trying to improve his vision as the conversation took place.

"Good. Now let us tell our brothers of the hunt. We all leave at nightfall..." Someone said. 13's vision slowly returned and he looked up to see a...large creature. Standing before him. The first thing 13 noticed was that the creature looked a lot like a lizard of some sort. 13 worked his way to his knees and looked around. "Ahhh he's awake." One of them hissed, walking over to the cell and crouching so he could see 13 eye to eye. "The infamous 13...we've heard a lot about you back on that sand ball of a planet. Apparently your quite the animal." He growled. 13 looked up at him blankly and frowned, why was it every scum in the galaxy somehow knew of 13's actions. It was beginning to get annoying. "You...are going to be a challenge aren't you boy. Unlike other padawans we normally capture every season I'm sure you will give our fledglings a good show yes?" He asked. Slipping his large scaly arm through the bars and gliding a claw against 13's neck. Normally...he would have let this happen. But seeing as master Cai...told him. To fight, regardless of the collar, or anything else. But...something was wrong...13 couldent move his arms. The boy looked down and saw his arms were cross on his chest and he was wearing some kind of...white thing. His arms restrained 13 began to panic. (Straight jacket) he growled and threw all of his weight into the lizards arm and using all of 13's bodyweight he slammed the arm to the left, feeling the bones all shatter as his arm bent in a awkward fashion the lizard screamed a snarl and reached for a pistol that was held at his belt. "Aggg you little shit!" He snarled furiously.

13 was afraid, this much was true. But everything told him what he was doing and about to do was right. His instinct told him to kill...his heart told him survive. When the creature reached for his pistol 13 used his legs and pulled his arm deeper into the cell, forcing his other arm to come up against the bars to prevent pain. 13 then noticed a large strap around its shoulder. After a second of staring at it he realized they were explosives. 13 looked around the room quickly and saw that there was a large control panel with large buttons on them. Unsure what they did 13 assumed they opened the cells. Taking a risk the boy pushed one foot through the bars and pressed the activation trigger. After that 13 had let go of he lizards arm and took a deep breath. Bringing his body as if he were going to charge someone 13 unleashed a extremely heavy force push. Sending the lizard flying across the room and smashing into the dashboard. Sparks flew and suddenly a red light started to blink rapidly. But nothing opened. 13 gasped and looked around the cell fearfully as she ship started going crazy. "ALERT: Release authorized, counting down in 3...2...1. Suddenly 13 felt now floor beneath him. He fell ground and was instantly about hundreds of feet in the air. Looking up at the large ship as he fell there was suddenly a large explosion and the ship started falling out of the sky along with 13. Twisting his body in the air 13 was now facing the ground, all he could see was massive amounts of trees and other vegetation. Mountains far off in the distance. But there was one problem...how in the hell was 13 supposed to land!? He had to use of his arms and he couldn't land a fall from this hight. The boy free fell for a out a few more minutes before suddenly all of that speed went down. His body was pulled up hard and it jerked what air he still had out of him. Looking above him he saw a large shout above his head, lowering him to the ground.

13 eventually reached earth but he landed in the branches of a tree. The shout above got tangled and now he was simply hanging ten feet about the ground. 13 shook his body trying to get off the straps but suddenly there was a loud beep and the shout simply let go of him. Letting him fall from the tree and hit the ground on his back. 13 was wishing he could use his arms right about now. All the air was knocked out of him and 13 was staring at the sky, there was a very large crash not far off followed by an explosion. Must have been the ship...13 lay there for a minute. Trying to figure out what was happening.

 

[Shawn Drax]

I woke up to feel air rushing to my face and a weightless feeling. thats when I smacked the ground hard. It hurt like i was dropped from a building. Well actually I just was. I groaned as I got to my feet. I streached my neck making poping sounds ring throught the quiet forrest.

I was knocked out by someone taking a syringe to my neck. the site itched as I recall walking to the pub. I had woken up earlier to see cages full of people even a kid about 10. Gods these people were hunting us. It looked like a few of us were experiments. I knew the boy was because he had a collar of some sort. Thats when I was knocked out a second time.

I ran towards the explosion that went off maybe the kid was still alive and the others.

 

[Matreya]

Zaiden woke to the feeling of a cold breeze, instantly on his feet he looked around as he walked. The confusion in his thoughts portrayed across his face. He was having serious problems, his memories of where he was and how he got there were blurred.

Slowly he regained them though. He had been on Korriban, his sights set nowhere. Simply bored. Then out of nowhere he felt the force shift and was under attack. Mandalorians and other bounty hunters, all very skilled at their jobs. They chased him across rooftops, inside other buildings, all the while destroying everything along the way.

He was only so good, and he soon found himself being bested. On his knees, bound and disarmed, Zaiden thought he faced certain death. But then he suddenly woke up in the woods he found himself in.

When he got ahold of those Mandos, saiber gone o - instantly he cut off that thought and reached behind his cape and found his hidden Shadow Dagger. Grinning he resheathed it, his plans got easier with each second.

 

[Falon Azrakel]

Falon remembered very little before he woke in the forest. He'd been running some kind of repairs on a ship... he didn't really care. He just needed to assess the situation. He somewhat wished he carried a blaster. His fusion cutter was the closest he had. He could burn someone if they got close enough, he supposed. Reaching for it, he felt a worrying lack of fusion cutter. It was gone. Bollocks. Reaching for his Macrobinoculars purely to check they were still there, he let out a sigh of relief. Slowly moving through the forest, he peered about, desperately looking for some kind of life. This could be a long day.

 

[Selena Halcyon]

Selena jumped up and grabbed onto the branch of a tree and pulled herself up into a tree. Where she began to climb and climb. Once up in it she felt like she had a little bit of breathing room from whatever was hunting after her. This would not be much of a problem at all except she was not telekinetic at all. Could not even lift a piece of sand. It made even tasks that were easy for Jedi, like climbing trees, to be more difficult. Sure, she could enhance her physical limitations which helped her jump higher and handle more, but the jumps could not be enhance with a bit of telekinetic touch to it. It was a fact that seldom concerned her, but in this moment it did.

The Jedi Knight was not like most other force users. In an instance where she had no lightsaber she was not also a force juggernaut. She still had natural advantages of being a Jedi, sure, but it was nothing like others would. This situation troubled her greatly, nevermind the fact that she was not entirely sure how she had even gotten to this point. The Knight's last memories were of being on a shuttle in transit to Kashyyyk to look into something that had been found in the shadowlands. She fell asleep on the transport and now she was here. On some planet she was not sure about. Her weapons were gone and she was alone. She did not like this one bit. Not one bit.

She would need to conduct a plan and find a way to protect herself, because it was very obvious that she was being hunted. She wondered if it was the Trandoshans. They were a nasty group of people. It seemed like this could be done by them. It was a little unusual though, and Kashyyyk did share a system with their planet so it was possible. Very possible really. But she was not sure if it was the case though. She needed more data. More time.

She needed to survive.

 

[Akura Yavis]

Akura walked into the bridge of the mandalorian gunship. "Six minutes to drop ner vod" The pilot told her. The anticipation of her first blood was rising. She had spent countless hours in training combat with her brothers and sisters of Death Watch, but she had never been in a real man hunt before. The prospects of the honor she would gain was intoxicating.

Akura checked her weapons. Her heavy combat rifle was primed and ready. She pictured herself marking in a kill tally on its side after this glorious occasion had ended. She felt no remorse for her victims. If they died, it would be the will of the force. In this galaxy only the strong deserved to live on.

"Ok, we have reached the jump point." The pilot announced. Akura dived into the open air as soon as the bay doors opened. She used her jet pack to maneuver away from the beach front and into the jungle. She activated her back thrusters, slowing to the forest floor. She came up from her landing roll and ducked into the underbrush. Her goal was to become one with the jungle, to anticipate the movements of her prey, and to bring honor to the Death Watch. Her targets would never see her coming.

 

[Matreya]

Someone was here..the force had changed. Noticeably. Someone was an enemy, and was in the woods. Becomig into the shadows, wearing his Recon Armor, Zaiden began trekking more steadily and softly. He would rip the man's head off, and spit down the stump. It would be a pleasure.

Leaping nimbly, he landed softly in the treetops and began hopping from limb to limb. The silence encasing him, was amazing even him. They thought he was prey...they were wrong. The Alpha Wolf in him made him bare his teeth in a fierce snarl as he flew across the tops.

Landing in a crouch, Zaiden spotted a young boy with a collar. His eyes narrowed in, he was going to attack but notice an entire lack of weapons. Couldn't be an enemy..silently he moved on searching for a new enemy.

13 felt...at home. Well, theoretically speaking. Part of him felt like he was were he belonged, like this place was the part of him that he had somehow lost. Of perhaps that was simply the animal in him getting the best of his human senses. Staring up at the sky he lay there and simply waiting for his body to do something. Being in a straight jacket made doing anything very difficult. Deciding to sit up 13 leaned up and crossed his legs and sighed. His ears swiveled atop his head like radar dishes as he inhaled the air. Taking in the surrounding scents and listening to the sounds around him he felt like he was back with his creators in his test simulations. Were they put him a a habitat natural to him and gave him task like hunting creatures 50 times his size.

13 took in another breath and his smelled the scent of a human, looking up quickly 13 heard the sound of someone landing from a drop. His ears perked up in the direction of the sound and he stared at the spot his nose told him was the source. After a few seconds 13 spotted a man eyeing him and he tilted his head. Slit pupils dilating at he inhaled the scent one last time. Standing up his feet 13 stared at the man as if he actually was in his wolf body. The intent of a predator...a killer. The bandages around his mouth hid the fact his lips were curled back revealing his razor sharp teeth. Bandages acted as a muzzle so he didn't bite people and they did their job.

The man seemed to turn around and walk away and 13 calmed himself. His twin tails swayed behind him as suddenly a nee scent flared his nostrils. It was the same scent he smelled on that ship he was on moments ago. The ones who dropped him from the sky. Turning tail and facing the direction of were she ship he was on crashed 13 growled and held his ground firmly. Ears perked forward and his tails high he watched as one of the lizards came out into an opening with a rifle. "Haha I've got one!" The lizard hissed, taking aim at 13 the boy stood there and as soon as the shot was fired 13 dashed forward and turned his head slightly, the laser flying past him and 13 used to force to pull the gun out of his hands and against a tree, shattering it. Once he did that he lizard gasped and stumbled backwards reaching for a knife on his side 13 simply hopped on top of the lizard. Blindly 13 just started to heat butt the lizard again and again and again and again rapidly as hard as he could. The lizard punched 13 in the face but he just ignored the pain and kept bashing his head against his. Suddenly the lizards other arm was free and with a silver blade in it. Before 13 could react the lizard shoved the knife into the top of the shoulder 13 screamed and grew even more angry. The bandages became loose and his mouth was now free. Opening his mouth 13 instinctively he went for the throat and sunk his fang like teeth into his neck. Blood flooding his mouth 13 chewed through the though and made his way to the spinal cord in the back of his neck. Digging through the meat his teeth found the bone an 13 gripped it and twisted. Breaking the lizards neck even though he practically chewed halfway through his neck.

Pulling his head out blood was dripping from his face and his straight jacket was soaked in blood. The knife still in his shoulder 13 stood and started straining trying to get out of the straight jacket. "The cant kill me. They think they can hunt me. No one hunts me! I will devour them!" He snarled smacking himself against a tree like the ignorant child he was. Unsure to how get out of the thing. The knife was hurting but he ignored it.

[Akura Yavis]

Akura stealthily creeped through the jungles underbrush. She halted by a dead tree with a meter thick trunk to play with her HUD settings. She reduced the volume of environmental sounds and amplified the sound waves of footsteps. She would hear her victims long before their alarm was ever raised. Just as she was adding a thermal filter to her visor, she noticed the list of hunters in the jungle had just shortened. Jazek Kornin, a Trandoshan, had just been eliminated by one of the victims. She pulled up the death cam that was linked next to the deceased hunters name, and watched as a young boy ripped out the side of the trandos neck. "Amature." She sighed. She would leave the boy be. Almost all the rest of the hunters would be on him soon anyway, now that they had a rough idea of his location. She had no doubt he would take as many hunters as he could with him to the grave, and she respected that.

Akura hefted her heavy laser cannon and continued on through the jungle, looking out for victims worthy of her time.

 

[Verz Horak]

The gunship carrying Verz had landed later than anticipated. Technical problems prevented it from taking off. Damn Trando tech. The ship landed, dropped off Verz, then left him to the hunt. He walked through the forest, searching for signs of his prey. Spotting some tracks in the woods, he followed them. They seemed fresh. Only a few hours old at the most. Verz continued forward, searching.

 

[rain21199]

Cain awoke to a strange smell. His eyes quickly opened. They were blurred for only a moment until they focused on his surroundings. There were trees all around him. How did he wind up here? The last thing he remembered was passing out on the bar after a couple drinks. It was weird because he could only remember having two drinks, and usually it took a lot more to knock him out. Oh, he must have been drugged. That make sense why he was in the middle of no where. Now then where to? He got up and looked around. He saw nothing but trees. Everywhere was trees. Then out of nowhere a small group of men started coming towards him. He couldn't see them but he could hear them. They seemed to be talking about some sort of hunt. He also heard a list of names and professions listed. In the middle of the list he heard his name. Cain Laatl, Sith Knight, and Hand of the Empress. Cain then put all of the things he heard together. He was brought here to be hunted. Cain quickly ran to a group of shrubs and hid. He waited for the group to pass. All of those names. There must be more people in the same predicament as he. Maybe they can work together. He used the force to increase the height of his jump, and he grabbed on to a branch. He started climbing the tree. As he climbed, he heard voices all around him talking. He went to the top, and looked around. There was smoke coming from a area. He decided to go check it out. He started to climb down the tree.

As Zaiden crept through the high foilage, he watched a young...thing kill a man savagely. He smirked, it was rather nice.

Before he leapt down, Zaiden sensed an enemy nearby. Zaiden barely caught a glance on his fall. As silent as the wind, Zaiden ran to the boy and wrapped a hand over his mouth, "Shh. I am no enemy. I enjoyed your work. Thoroughly." Pointing in the direction of the lady he continued, "An enemy is that way. It's a female. Let's take her." With that he cut the bindings the boy had been placed in, leaving the collar on however.
With that he was gone, swiftly he leapt back to the high treetops and rushed to back to where he saw the woman, she was stealthy. He had to focus a moment to find her, he spotted her eventually though.

Without looking back to spot the boy, he leapt down silently once again. Launching at the woman from behind he used the force to enhance his punch he placed into her kidney, launching her forward several feet.

13 suddenly heard footsteps behind him and 13's ears swiveled behind his head and when the footsteps approached he turned around to only have his mouth covered. 13 snarled and bit the mans hand hard. Honestly running up on an unstable animal was going to have consequences no matter who you were. The man said he was no thread and then undid the bindings. Telling 13 to help him attack a female hunter. 13 was young but his instincts told him that would be a bad idea. This man may of had a game plan but 13 had been hunted before and he knew how the game worked. The man jumped into the trees and 13 inhaled the air, the blood on him simply tainted his sense of smell but he could still catch the scent of heavy weaponry and devices. She was well equipped, even more so than the reptile. 13's survival instincts kicked in and he reached for the knife and pulled it out of his shoulder. He cried in pain and licked the blade clean. Then looking at the man in the tree he threw the knife in a branch next to him. If he wanted to attack her he would need something. Once that was done 13 turned tail and walked in the other direction, he could find others like him easily. Just had to avoid threats.

 

[Akura Yavis]

Akura reeled backwards. She recovered and got to her feet. "Kriff" She muttered. The dar'jetti had gotten the drop on her. She switched off her thermal vision and popped a frag grenade from her belt, hurling it at her attacker. She had not been prepared to fight so soon, but she would do what she had to.

 

[Matreya]

Zaiden watched the woman recover, she threw a grenade as she regained her footing. The moment it left her hand it hit the ground, Zaiden having put up a force push made wall.

Drawing his Shadow Dagger, Zaiden readied himself for more.

[Mereel Vaun]

Mereels' gunship finally landed. He jumped off and almost instantly heard a noise, he was surprised when he landed so close to a firefight. He was relatively safe in his Beskar'Gam but he took caution anyway, he had a list of people to hunt in his HUD. He ran through some brush and saw another mando'ade. He didn't know them though. He ran beside them to give them, her* it was a she and twilek, backup.
He pulled out his verpine shattergun, aimed it at the attackers, and prepared for a brawl.

 

[Akura Yavis]

Akura kicked the grenade away, leveling several trees. She suddenly heard the sound of a mandalorian gunship flying overhead, the near silence of its repulsors gave it away. A fellow mando'ade ran into the clearing. She recognized his armor immediately. He wore the insignia of Death Watch on his shoulder. "Ner vod!" Akura shouted "Could use a hand!"

 

[Mereel Vaun]

Mereel saw the explosion and heard the mando ask for assistance, so assist he did. He activated his flamethrower and ignited every inch around the aruetti. He had a feeling the Jedi would attempt to block it but it would give some time to recover for his ally.

 

[Matreya]

Zaiden stepped to the side, charging around the flames he slid into the man's feet bringing him to his knees. He placed the Shadow Dagger against his neck as he stood, "WHERE AM I AND WHERE ARE MY THINGS!?"

 

[Akura Yavis]

Akura charged @[member="Zaiden"] and tackled him to the ground, forcing the knife out of his hand. "Your dead!" She said leveling her blaster pistol at his face.
