Not Again....

[Kay-Larr]

Even while unconscious, Kay was somewhat aware of what was going on. Instead however, it was being interpreted as a weird dream. Instead of [member="Darlyn Excron"] catching her while she fell, he was dancing with her at some gala fundraiser. They twirled and spun until the music stopped.

Screams were heard then as a fire broke out, created by some kind of flying reptile that appeared beside them, holding enemy soldiers at bay while the ballroom scene changed to that of a battlefield. Blasterfire was heard, but what she saw was fireworks exploding around them, sent forth by [member="Koda Fett"] and [member="Magnus Deshra"] whom both appeared as dark knights in a fairy tale.

She herself was chained, tied in such a way that she couldn't move as the two knights appeared to circle around them while the flames grew ever higher and hotter.

Kay hated feeling trapped...Yet she couldn't break free.

 

[Darlyn Excron]

Well, wasn't this just fantastic? Darlyn almost felt the imposing weight of Koda over top him as the bounty hunter began to fire the stun bolts on approach, and even without the Force he knew Magnus was following suit. From the corner of his eye, as he instinctively ducked behind Kay's body to absorb the stun bolts (She was already stunned, after all) he caught Magnus, delayed for a moment, moving to a different side. Two fronts, there was no way he'd be able to escape that if their trap worked, if he was delayed for a moment longer than he already was. As it was, they left him with only two choices, stay and fight, and almost certainly lose, or attempt to flee and at least have someone know something about who took Kay.

Realistically there was only one choice, as much as it pained to him to admit. If he could know Kay would hear him, he would've apologized. The stun bolts would hopefully manage to do little more than further secure their intended bounty, as he picked her up and almost shoved her at Koda, turning to flee while he was distracted catching her. If they had used a lethal bolt at her, he would've been concerned, but stun bolts meant they intended capture, which meant she was relatively safe. Him? Not guaranteed, so he would have to focus on getting out of there alive.

Within moments of throwing Kay at Koda, Darlyn stretched out his arm, blasting his other wrist weapon, a rocket launcher, into a weakened windowsill, splintering wood and causing glass to fly outwards. With the obstacle out of the way, Darlyn made a mad dash for the window, leaping through the hole he'd made and impacting the ground hard, his blood spattering out from his mouth on impact. Even though he began attempting to move away it was obvious he wouldn't be able to keep running anymore, his adrenaline was amazing at keeping him going but blood loss was powerful as well. Even so, running to catch him would cost time, which was not on anyone's side anymore, and put them at risk of being spotted by the police forces.

Of course, taking Kay now essentially guaranteed her easy capture, especially since Koda would be very directly on top of the escape tunnels, which would be able to lead them to any number of exit points across the city. Despite Darlyn's evident understanding that Kay wasn't going to be shot, he'd still given her up to the hunters in his escape attempt, and whatever they chose he was still outside bleeding just a short few steps away from the store. Even as distant sirens began to become audible.

The Bounty Hunter was absolutely pleased as he almost fell backwards upon Kay being thrown into his eyes, and then the later sight of Darlyn Excron fleeing from the scene entirely. Though with the building almost ready to collapse, he had to act quickly. Within his Mandalorian Armor, he knelt down, allowing the Queen's unconscious body to rest on his knee whilst he cradled her with his right hand, his left hand elsewhere on the belt. The carbine he fired with moments ago was now hanging loosely in it's sling. The left hand of Fett made it's way down towards one of the many pouches across his belt, grabbing a Multispectrum Disguise Suit and placing it on Lady Kay, then pressing the central blue button with the same hand. Now she didn't appear as herself at all, as the blue holographic imagery spread across her, her appearance had changed entirely. Now she looked to be a Bith Male, possibly a worker of the store. Immediately afterwards, Fett placed one upon himself, pressing the central blue button and appearing as a Quarren Male. With the disguises in place, he moved to stand, hauling Kay up and over his shoulder as he headed out through the hole of the crumbling building he previously placed in it.

The disguises would hold up, being activated inside and out of sight of anyone but them. They were of course high-end for Koda and Magnus both had access to an incredible amount of funds. Voice-scrambles were present, changing the speakers voice to fit their disguise whilst scanners would also work, mimicking everything about them right down to their biology. With his best attempt at a terrified face, concerned for his life, the disguised Koda Fett joined the crowd - attempting to flee from the main marketplace to his desired location, a side-alley off of the marketplace that house a speeder. Hopefully Magnus would follow suit, this was apart of the original plan to begin with. The speeder was a common sight on Commenor, especially in Chasin City, a very popular model.

[Magnus Deshra]

Magnus rushed forward, though he was confused as he saw Kay already in Koda's arms. His gaze turned as he noticed Excron outside, alive and conscious. Part of him considered finishing off the minister, but he realized there wasn't any point - whether he'd given her up as cowardice or part of a plan, he didn't particularly deserve to die. Magnus lowered his weapon, glancing again to Koda as he saw the Queen slowly turn into a Bith, the Mandalorian following suit as he became a Quarren. Taking out his own disguise suite and retreating in a different direction than Koda, he waited until he was out of sight and took the form of a human.

Running into an alleyway, he had a speeder and large bag waiting; taking apart his blaster rifle, he disguised that too as speeder parts and shoved it in the bag that was then slung over his shoulder. He moved to the speeder, mounting it before he sped off. He rushed away, glancing back with a scared look as though he was fleeing the scene of a shooting, as many seemed to be doing in confusion and fear. He headed towards the spaceport, knowing that this wouldn't be easy - he'd have to make this quick. He was almost at the spaceport, but he wasn't home free just yet - there was no doubt more that Commenor's security forces had up their sleeve.

[Kay-Larr]

Now she was beig lifted, although in her unconscious and dream-like state, she was being danced with by strangers. Faces changed, the scenery changed, all of it moving in such a way that only a drugged indiced sleep could accomplish. The air had cooled again once she was taken outside, the mere sensation changing her dreams even more.

Now she was over [member="Koda Fett"]'s shoulder, the position itself being quite uncomfortable for her tummy. If there was one thing that could bring someone out of such a state, albeit slowly, it was pain. In her waking dream, she was hanging over the top of a building, with [member="Darlyn Excron"] holding her legs. Down below, she could see [member="Magnus Deshra"] aiming his rifle at them in anticipation of making her fall.

Fear began to take hold, her heart increasing it's pace as she began to wake up, becoming more aware of what was happening. Her legs were being held, but she wasn't hanging over a building. Instead she was being carried by someone. Kay opened up her eyes, seeing her arms dangle, only they weren't her arms. They appeared to be that of a man. Was she still dreaming?? The one carrying her was wearing clothes that she didn't recognize and in the swaying motion of his quick steps, she turned her head to see that she was being brought into an alleyway.

That probably wasn't a good thing.

"...What's...what's happening?....Darlyn?...Darlyn, where...are we going?" It took a lot of effort to get those words out, and along with the pain from having pressure on her tummy, a headache was starting. That meant that whatever this was, she was no longer dreaming. She just couldn't make heads or tales of it right now. Her head needed to clear first.

 

[Darlyn Excron]

They didn't come for him.

Darlyn rolled onto his side, now able to glance back as he noticed the figures making a break for it. They hadn't come to finish him, either lethally or to capture him too. It made Darlyn's pained expression shift, slowly, into what could only be called a predatory grin. Good, good... they left him free to recover, free to collect information. Free to hunt. A fire was rekindled inside him as the first responders arrived, and he didn't even notice their questioning what was going on as he was slowly helped into a better position by the EMTs. His eyes, his being, was more alive than it had been in what seemed to be years, and even as he pulled one of the police officers close, his voice trembled in excitement.

"Alert the fleet, they are to record any transponder ID codes of ships leaving orbit. Stop them for 'random inspections' if you must but get those transponder codes. And get me-" His blood-spattering cough interrupted him again before he could continue. "Get me every scrap of camera footage in a five block radius from this building. Got it?" The officer nodded, and Darlyn let go of his uniform to let the man relay the orders. Assuming that the duo took too long, they'd get their ID transponders recorded, leaving a valuable piece of evidence in addition to the inevitability of the recordings. Granted, only the recordings would be of little use, outside potentially identifying the specific mandalorians if he could find a Mando'a contact, and they could easily have altered transponder codes anyways, but it was a place to start.

Despite failing to protect the Queen, as Darlyn was put on a gurney in the ambulance and taken to medical facilities, his grin never faded. Mandalorians... He recognized the T visors of course, who wouldn't? Their own culture was what left him clues now, as there were two possibilities. One, they were Mandalorians, Two, they weren't Mandalorians but wore their armor. Had they chosen to not wear their armor, he'd have a galaxy to search for a needle. Now he had a haystack, no easy feat but less... daunting. Mandalorians.. "Yes... you two will make fine prey for the hunt." Darlyn muttered to himself happily, finally being too far off to do anything.

[Lemon]

By the time Kay had come too, the speeder was just about ready to land by the spaceport, in fact it already had and Fett was ready to disembark. The security footage would from back in the Marketplace would show a Bith being carried away by a Quarren. Whether it was an odd site or not, it suited the situation, presumably going to be assumed as workers. Although the instant they took off in a speeder heading for the spaceport, eyebrows may be raised. Carrying Kay along, he enclosed in on his ship, but then Kay asked where she was, did she think that he was Darlyn? No matter, a friendly reminder of her perilous situation needed to be brought up, "Don't speak too much. You're wanted both dead or alive." The disguise matrix fluctuating for a brief moment to reveal the Mandalorian Armor beneath the disguise, but only the Queen was able to spot it in her delirious state. The cameras may have caught a glimpse of it themselves.

If security became an issue, he was ready to fight his way through to his ship and rather quickly. Although for now he set the 'Bith' by his side, allowing 'him' to walk beside him but obviously aiding in the process. Security should let them pass, they were of no real threat, just two travellers with one friend that may appear somewhat drunk if anything. If they weren't stopped for a long enough period of time, then the Concord Spear is where they reside, and Kay ushered into one of the Firespray's cages. The downside to such a ship is that it doesn't scream subtly despite it's hidden weapons. The disguises were removed from both of them, reverting back to their original appearances as they took to the stars. Hyperdrive was being readied, jammers were active. The vessels signature non-existent for the time-being, and at any moment now they would vanish from the Commenor System. Though that was if they weren't stopped back in the Spaceport or in Space itself.

Excron would be a fool to think that the two would be easy prey, let alone easy to find. It was a large galaxy, capable of vanishing anywhere, especially for a rich Bounty Hunter such as himself. If they got into scrap once again, who knows what the outcome may very well be.

[member="Lady Kay"] | [member="Darlyn Excron"] | [member="Magnus Deshra"]

 

[Kay-Larr]

Wanted....

Dead or alive...

That could only mean one thing. Bounty hunters. Even worse, Mandalorian. But who was after her this time? Who put up the bounty? Did they not realize the retaliation that would come their way? She wasn't just some Senator this time. Kay was a Queen.

As [member="Koda Fett"] walked along with her, keeping a good arm around her, she purposely slowed her pace, placing her outside arm on her forehead. Her headache still bothered her. To each passerby she mouthed the words 'Help me'. It gave them odd looks, but not much else. So she looked up towards the security cameras, mouthing those same words over and over again. She may be in disguise but someone on [member="Darlyn Excron"] 's team might pick it up.

Where [member="Magnus Deshra"] was, she wasn't sure. But surely there were two hunters? Clenching her jaw, she spoke quietly for Koda to hear. "How much? What are you being offered? I don't want to lose my unborn child." Did he have any sense of honour? She didn't know. But she continued to delay the walk as well as she could without getting killed.

 

[Darlyn Excron]

Police wouldn't be much of a problem, given Darlyn's orders to forces both on the ground and in space, in fact both [member="Lady Kay"] and [member="Koda Fett"] would be well out of the spaceport before the hunter's plan would find even the slightest hitch. See, a ship without a transponder signal was highly suspicious in its own right, but when the bleeding, injured Minister of Justice gave the order to record every transponder ID for ships leaving the system, and the implicit order to not allow a single unrecorded ship to leave orbit without his knowing, security was tightened in orbit much like a net wrapping about fish. Of course, this was a net that Koda was meant to escape from, but not without leaving evidence behind.

Well in orbit was the majority of the Commenor fleet, ranging from the patrol vessels to massive warships, and they most certainly noticed a ship without a transponder code attempting to leave the system. A Victory X-class Assault Cruiser drifted close to the projected flight path of the Firespray, flanked by Eliminator-class Enforcement Support Corvette. When they were within distance to transmit a broadcast over to the ship, the Queen and her captor would hear a rather young voice firmly attempting to assert itself to them. "Unidentified craft, by order of the Minister of Justice all ships leaving orbit are required to transmit their transponder codes and cargo manifests. Comply or be prepared for manual inspection. Flee and you will be disabled and taken in under probable cause." Perhaps the boy messed up his lines but, what can one do?

Whilst the two made their venture aboard his starship, Kay had spoke in a hushed tone to the Bounty Hunter. ​"How much? What are you being offered? I don't want to lose my unborn child." Though unfortunately for Kay, she was met with no response. Fett did have a sense of honour, though of course it was to the contract at hand. The unborn child was merely extra baggage. With each attempt to delay the walk, he hurried her along, there were no breaks on this bounty hunting train.

Though finally, upon getting inside the Concord Spear​ the disguise matrixes were taken off of himself and then forcibly from Kay. The two both reverting to what they were. A Mandalorian and a Queen, an odd-site to be seen together unless the former was a Bounty Hunter of course. Her next destination would be a cage in the cargo hold, secure and safe if not a little uncomfortable. Koda wouldn't try to force her into the cage, oddly enough he hadn't harmed her once throughout this entire ordeal. If she refused a gesture towards the blaster carbine in his grip would be made, as well as a simple reminder, "Dead or alive." with a curt nod. Make no mistake, he was willing to kill the Queen at any stage if she proved too much trouble. Though if she refused further? Then a stun bolt would most definitely be applied, attempted at the very least, and then forcefully stowed inside.

The Bounty Hunter hadn't become as famous, or infamous for that matter, in the underworld for being a fool. His targets were chosen for a reason. The Commenor Fleet could not stop him, nor could their guards or military units that came after him. A legendary bounty hunter as such as himself wasn't one to be trifled with, and if Darlyn Excron was to pursue him with lethal intent he would be in for a fight. One that wouldn't have two people walking away from it; only one, one victor.

-----

Perhaps it was a mistake to ascend into orbit without a transponder code reacting, it might have made this escape much easier, but would the same end game have reached him? A manual inspection? Who knows, and Fett didn't bother taking any chances. That ship could blast him to bits, if direct hits were achieved he and Lady Kay would be gone for sure. Although, they wouldn't dare fire upon the vessel their Queen was a potential captor inside. It was a preventative measure, of course why he insisted taking Lady Kay whilst Magnus Deshra was able to flee without any trouble. The Hyperdrive was just about ready to go.

Behind the T-Shaped Visor his eyes shifted about the cockpit, various buttons blinking, sounding off and otherwise begging to be pressed, pulled and otherwise made of use. With a vicious dip, the Concord Spear was lowered and then raised again. Meeting an even flight path beneath the two large Commenor Vessels. Koda ignored the words from the young man as the Firespray entered hyperspace, or at least tried to. If without any significant intervention, the ship would lurch into hyperspace, white streaks becoming visible from beneath his helmet. And gone... Heading straight to Bastion, surely the Sith Empire was glad to have the The Grandmaster or former Grandmaster's Wife, who she herself, could potentially be Force Sensitive along with her unborn child.

Bounties typically earned them, they earned their death mark. Though when it came to Kay, Fett had no real clue. It was just good money, and perhaps a little overkill...

[member="Darlyn Excron"] | [member="Lady Kay"]

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay clenched her jaw as [member="Koda Fett"] ignored her. The very thought of being killed hung heavily over her. There was more than just one life at stake in this scenario. Her eyes darted around the vessel as she was brought in, looking for something to help her with. But there was nothing there. No spare tools, no clutter of any kind. Koda was clearly an expert.

He brought her to the cargo hold where a much smaller cage than she had expected awaited her. It was not much bigger than a coffin, yet perfectly transparent. She'd be able to lay down in it, but that was it. Due to her abduction much earlier by a Sith Lord, small spaces didn't sit well with her, and this certainly wouldn't.

Kay made no move to step inside, a response that was met with a threat to end her life from point blank range. Her hands tightened into fists. What was she to do? Keep her secret? Or try to use her abilities to save herself? If it was just her than the answer was easy. But it wasn't. She had life growing inside her and there would be no way that she could face her husband again if that life was lost.

Her eyes closed as she released her hold on the Force, hoping that Koda wouldn't be able to sense it. The energy flowed through her while she opened her eyes and using the Force Bond that she shared with her husband [member="Veiere Arenais"] , she reached out to him. ~A bounty hunter has me, Veiere! Darlyn tried to stop them, but there was too much going on. I was knocked out but now I'm awake and in his ship. I'm wanted dead or alive, Veiere ...I can't risk losing our child. Get Darlyn to help you find me, please. ~

"You're not going to be able to get away with this, you know. There'll be a target on your back." She spoke the words aloud as she approached the cage and eased her way inside. It was better if she was awake and alive. No doubt the trip wouldn't be short. So that would give her ample time to turn the ship around. Still, it took effort for her not to panic. The lack of the ability to move made this all the more troubling. But she had to be patient. She had to be smart.

[Darlyn Excron]

They did not respond, of course they didn't. But even without transponder codes there were some details able to be picked out, for instance they were able to get a solid visual identification of the ship. That would be, invaluable. Still, the fleet would have to try and stop them from escaping... "Fire the Ion cannons, I want that ship stopped!" Though only the Victory-X had ion weaponry, and most of the cannons couldn't fire directly at the ship, what weapons could began to fire the distinctly blue colored blasts of supercharged ions at the Concord Spear. The two escort craft began to spin up their weaponry as well, though unlike the Victory-X they didn't have less, dangerously lethal weapons to bring to bear.

And he did possibly have the Queen after all...

[member="Lady Kay"] :|: [member="Koda Fett"]

 

[Lemon]

The Queen was ushered way inside the small, glass cage inside the cargo hold. Yet still, the glass was reinforced and was definitely not going to break from shear blunt force, and even then, it was definitely hard to apply enough strength in such a small container. Though fortunately enough, Kay wasn't entirely in darkness, she could see the interior of the bounty hunter's starship. Clean. That was one way of describing it, another was menacing. There were plenty of cages of different sizes, most of which had someone inside of it. Though unlike Kay, these men were killers, thieves and absolute low-lives. If anything the Mandalorian was doing the galaxy a service by pulling these men from the streets. Though these men longed for their freedom, but with Kay? It was likely they would try to steal her for themselves. That bounty was large enough.

"You're not going to going to be able to get away this, you know. There'll be a target on your back."​ A threat from the Queen. He doubted it was empty, however, there definitely would be. Fett's back was turned and he was walking away from Kay as he responded, not bothering to turn his head or face her at all, "Hmph. I'll be careful." ​For someone such as himself, it was commonplace to have targets on your back. People were wanted all over the galaxy, and many of them were powerful people with plenty of connections. Though now he sits in the pilots seat, able to keep track of Kay through a hologram that displays itself aboard his dash. Whatever she did, he would know.

-----

From underneath the two much larger ships the Firesrapy zoomed ahead, it's hyperdrive just about ready to go, but of course nothing ever went without a hitch. "Warning: Ion Blasts incoming. Advise immediate deviation from flight path." The synthesised females voice spoke through the cockpit before continuing, "Hyperdrive at 97%." This would be cutting it close. Determined eyes from beneath his visor kept firm on the scene ahead, focused on an individual star directly ahead of him as tense hands gripped the controls tightly. "99%." The shots were gaining closer, their blue blasts coming into sight, though no attention was paid to them by the bounty hunter. "98%." Their blue rings became visible, the sparks zapping through the void in an attempt to disable the vessel. "Hyperdri-. Hyperdrive Engaged." White streaks filling his gaze as the Concord Spear disappeared into a blue void. The Ion Rings now passing where he once was, and just a fraction too late.

The flight would take some time, and yet ultimately they would arrive at Bastion. The Commenor Fleet wouldn't dare follow now would they? Koda certainly bet on it. The bounty licence he was rewarded after delivering information on 'The Butcher of Mirial' would prove fruitful today, freely able to pass through Sith Space with a collection of captured bounties. Although at the end of the day it was merely a distraction, their real goal was to wherever Miss Blonde decided. Bastion was merely a way to prevent any pursuers. As they travel through this blue tube, Fett remained in the cockpit. His eyes observing the hologram and the multiple others that displayed the captives he had.

Though down below, their chatter seemed to pick up. "Who're you new blood?" Barked a Besalisk inside his large cage, but still cramped nonetheless. "It's the Queen of Commenor you blasted idiot." Replied the South-Correlian Human, followed by a, "Oohahoo, got a royal one now eh?" From a scarred, aged and battle-tested Duros. This ship seemed to be it's own hive of scum and villainy. This was no place for a Queen now was it?

[member="Darlyn Excron"] | [member="Lady Kay"]

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay just closed her eyes as [member="Koda Fett"] walked away from her. He was one of those types. She wasn't a person at all. She was just a means to an end and that end involved being paid. Her words were fruitless, a waste of air and effort. He wasn't the type of person that could be reasoned with.

At least she wasn't alone. However the other souls on board weren't looking like they were in any better of a situation. Who knew how long they had been there or where they were caught. Her brief glance at them earlier was enough to make her aware that she didn't recognize either of them. That was unfortunate.

Kay felt the Concord Spear make the jump to hyperspace as her body was pressed into the glass cage by the seconds of g-force pressure that enveloped the ship before it was stabilized. Her eyes snapped open as she placed her hands on the glass in front of her. She had to get the ship to stop. She had to turn it around.

The chatter around her started then, the others talking as though she wasn't able to hear them, but she did. Kay didn't answer them though. It wasn't due to feeling as though they were beneath her at all, but more so as she needed to concentrate. The Force wasn't blocked from her at all. She knew that after it wasn't noticed when she called out to her husband. So that gave her an advantage.

But there wasn't a lot of time.

Kay kept her gaze forward as she reached out with the Force to find Koda in the cockpit. Although she had promised herself that she'd never use this technique again, her own life was on the line, as well as her child's. And besides, this time around murder was not her intent. Only a warning. Through the Force she found Koda's body and reached within, locating his heart. As she tightened one of her hands into a fist, so too did the Force grip onto his heart. It was much like a Force choke, applying pressure in an area that would cause discomfort and pain. Kay used this technique on the Elders once before, only with them she used a lot more pressure. It was Koda's attention that she had wanted, and she wasn't planning on letting him go until he turned his ship around and took her home.

"One of the 'strong silent' types I see, hehehe." Spoke the South-Correlian once more, banging as much as he could on his own glass container in an attempt to gather he attention. "Will you cut it out?" The Basilisk said with an angered tone and a glare filled with contempt. Then shifting his gaze back towards the Queen, "So, Queeny, what're you wanted for, huh?" One could assume he didn't necessarily care that she was being spoken to, just the fact that the South-Correlian was speaking. They've been here long enough to be acquainted. ​"She's tryna concentrate." The Duros had replied, picking up on that look most force-users made when focusing. "On what?"​ Barked back the Basilisk.

Meanwhile, in the cockpit a strange pain began striking Fett's heart whilst he did nothing but sit there and look towards the Queen through the hologram. His right hand moved to his chest, making a fist over it as it only seemed to get worse. Punches found their way towards it, a constant banging in an attempt to bare with he pain, although to no avail. "Koda Fett: vitals dropping." The ships AI spoke aloud, even those within the cargo hold were capable of hearing it. The Queen.​ It must be here, she's got that concentrating look, and none of this happened before she got aboard. It didn't help that the bounty hunter considered himself at peak human capabilities to have a heart attack, in truth however, he was at peak capabilities.

"Zap cell eight!" Koda spat through gritted teeth in a painful attempt to prevent this attack upon him. The AI would heed his words, "Zapping Cell Eight." Sending a painful electronic discharge towards all four walls of the cell that would surely immobilise those on the inside. Hopefully breaking Kay's focus. Immediately after his first words he spoke again in the same pained attempt, "Gas cell eight!" though was met with a question, "Which gas, sir?" and was promptly replied to with, "Nytinite!". ​"Nytinite dispersed to Cell Eight." The AI spoke once more as a purple gas filled Kay's chamber. Nytinite was a purple coloured sleeping gas in a weaponised form. Now, that would definitely do the trick.

All the while the three loud-mouth captives within the cargo hold alongside Kay decided to speak once more, "He's dyin'?" The South-Correlian asked first, glancing about the room to the other prisoners. "How'll we get out if he's dead?" Thought the Basilisk verbally. "Hmph. She's a forcie." Commented the wise Duros after making a quick deduction, "After all, Koda Fett doesn't just die now does he?"​ Needless to say, they were impressed, but for how long? Especially with those defence measures installed and going off.

[WolfMortum]

The words of [member="Lady Kay"]'s plea to her husband did not reach him in the clarity she'd sought to provide, the Force though strongly bonded the two were, simply did not garner the distance in clear telepathic communication that could have aided the King of Commenor in sensing where and what had captured and taken his wife into a new realm of hell. Fortunately however, he did pick up on the gut wrenching feeling that something had gone incredibly awry, a feeling of impending dread that had thrown him off of his lunch and sent him heading from their home to Chasin City where he would soon be informed that their Queen was off-world on business.

There were few times where such a panic had coursed through out his presence within the Force, a tremendous weight that he had only come to recognize to be their connection to one another, strengthened by their force imbued wedding rings and the love that they shared, as terribly corny as that might seem. The fact was that even across such a vast distance in a place completely unknown to him, he knew that his wife was in some kind of peril and by hell or high water nothing within their own government would keep him from making use of every possible resource to find her. Call it an abuse of power and a neglect of the people for want of selfish priority but in the fact of a threat to his wife's life, the Jedi Code be damned, he had the means and he would damn well use them.

​

​

Vikras Ansion stood upon the head platform of the bridge, looking out across the hull of The QueensGuard.

"Sir, report's come in of two Commenori Vessels several sectors out" one of his petty officers called up from their station, the Grand Admiral of the Commenori fleet moving to the comms station to stand behind the younger man and look over his shoulder to the display, both a Victory Class Assault Cruiser and a Supporting Corvette having engaged an unknown vessel in open combat, their status' having been relayed across the appropriate channels to keep in communication with the nearby commanding fleet as was standard procedure; Vikras' brows furrowed in frustration.

"Who's the CO on board?...".

"[member="Darlyn Excron"]...?" The Officer turned in pause, looking back up at the Admiral in question. He didn't recognize the name and rightly so for the man in charge wasn't a known Admiral but the Minister of Justice for Commenor and a well known and authorized individual that due to his connections to the reigning monarchs, received more clearance across their vessels and known military than was arguably justifiable. "...-We're being hailed, Sir?" the younger male soon spoke up again, the timing of all things was uncanny.

"On screen..." Vikras would respond curtly, soon turning to step back into the center of the bridge and look upon the overhead display for whom the requesting vessel's commanding officer would appear; yet it was not the minister of Justice but his second in command...

​

The Commenori Pheonix engines flared to life moments after Veiere had stepped on board, Captain Terrac sparing no timing in pulling them up off of the surface of Chasin Cities spaceport and begin their journey towards the last known co-ordinates of Minister Excron's; meanwhile the King stood with his left hand extended before him holding a small holo-communications emitter speaking with a very dry tone to the Admiral Ansion en-route to their new rendezvous point.

"Kay didn't go alone, Vikras and this isn't some bloody hunch...-You yourself said Darlyn's wounded and where the hell is my wife..." he was more or less grueling the man at this point, though they were incredibly close friends, brothers one might say through the experiences they shared, Vikras knew well the care that Veiere held for Kay and not to mention the fact that she was carrying their twins.

"The last time she went missing, Kay wound up in the hands of [member="Darth Prazutis"]...-I'll be damned if that's going to happen again. We're en-route now. Find Darlyn and find out where she is..." his words were not given in a request but a command; Veiere's concern all but ridding him of his former restraints as he ended the holo-call and turned to head for his private quarters fearing the worst.

Someone would wind up dead before he would allow Kay to befall a similar fate that the Sith had once wrought upon her. Force help them if Veiere did not find them in time. The journey to reach Darlyn's location could not pass quickly enough...

[Kay-Larr]

Kay heard the others in the cargo hold, each of them trying to get her attention. But she just couldn't give it. It wasn't as though she had any answers for them anyways. The bounty hunter didn't give her anything to go by. She didn't even know where she was being taken to.

The sound of the AI's voice, not to mention what was being said, did however catch her attention. [member="Koda Fett"] . Now she had a name. But what she found disturbing was that she was killing him, and that wasn't what she had wanted. She released her hold on his heart, pulling her Force energy back. No sooner did she do that, when Kay heard the AI speak again. Zapping cell eight? What does that mean? The realization came in a split second later as the walls of her glass cell became electrified, sending tiny bolts of lightning throughout her body. It wasn't enough to kill of course, but enough to both surprise her and cause her pain. She grit her teeth and automatically dropped her arms to her belly. She couldn't risk anymore of that.

Kay clenched her jaw, doing what she could to hold back despair and panic. Her eyes looked up straight away, as soon as she heard the mention of gas by the AI echo through the cargo hold.

No....

Wherever she was being taken, Koda was making sure that she would be quiet for as long as he wanted. Kay brough her arm up to her face, covering her mouth and nose with the sleeve of her dress as soon as the purple glass began filling her cage. Her breath was held, she needed to hold it for as long as she could. Once again she focused on the Force, sending her energy up to Koda. Though instead of ensnaring his heart with it, she went for his left arm, manipulating the muscles, sending them the signal to tense up and extend in such a way that would cause him to punch the console in front of him. Or at the very least, that was her intent. She didn't want to break his hand but to break some of the buttons of the console, anything to slow their journey down so that her husband [member="Veiere Arenais"] and [member="Darlyn Excron"] would have a better chance of tracking her down.

She could only hold her breath for so long, and the weave of the fabric of her gown wasn't thick enough to filter the air properly. Lightheadedness kicked in as soon as she took a breath. Then everything went black....

This was proving to be far more difficult than he previously anticipated, the hard part was over, yet this here was proving far more difficult than anything else he had encountered on this hunt thus far. The grip on his heart seemed to fade, capable of moving and functioning regularly came back to him after the shock and gas was emitted to her cage or glass container, whatever one preferred. It was definitely Kay alright. Didn't figure her for a force user. Oh well, the damage had been done and relieved, or had it? A sudden tense feeling in his left arm was felt, tensing up as his hand curled up into a fist. His right hand grasped the bicep of the left, holding it back as best he could to no avail. It entered the console, causing a hole to form in the metal as well as several sparks and plenty of things that became inoperable.

"WARNING: CRITICAL WEAPONS FAILURE."

Fett angrily growled in a muffled voice from beneath his helmet, "Eugh..." As he moved the fingers in a rhythm of sorts to verify that he had control again whilst also rolling his arm in his shoulder. It was back alright, the gas must of finally kicked in. "Give me a readout." He further demanded of the AI, "All weapons systems disabled. Advise immediate repairs." It's oddly cheerful disposition irritated him, though a quick glance at the NavComputer was reassuring and relieving. They were still on path, and it wouldn't take too long before he could make his next jump and dump Kay in exchange for his credits. She was a tough prisoner to keep, far more troublesome than he had anticipated.

Shifting himself up from the seat in the cockpit, Koda made his way down the stairs and into the cargo hold. The others went silent, they just stared, they could tell he wasn't in the mood to be interacted with. From beneath his visor his eyes shifted across to the Force Cage and then back to Cell Eight. With specific eye movements from underneath that helmet his suit became sealed, so when he did open Kay's cage the gas didn't harm him whatsoever. Next thing she would know is that she's now captive across the room, held in a cell with a ray shield with a yellow tint as it's colouring. She could pass through it, but the pain would be unbearable. Not even Koda Fett himself could withstands the pain of it.

It was becoming a certainty that the next time Kay made anything more difficult than they had to be he would definitely take up on the section of her bounty that lists, 'dead'. He was a professional, he wasn't here to play games.

[Darlyn Excron]

Of course the officer gave a broad idea of what he had been ordered to do, including why he discharged ion weaponry on the Firespray that entered hyperspace, giving Ansion a good rough idea of what exactly happened on the planet down below. Fortunately his report was rather detailed as to the particular space encounter, and would prove useful when the video data was collected. All in all, the officer spent more time apologizing for disrupting the chain of command than anything else, recognizing his fault while attempting to explain the status of the Minister.

Though honestly if Veiere spent roughly a few minutes calling local hospitals and asking if they had an unruly redheaded man making a fuss he might very well find him swiftly. As it was, one of the hospitals had a particular individual, donned in beskar armour resembling either an outlaw or lawman, demanding to be given the swiftest treatment they would give so he could 'get to work hunting down that son of a sith and giving him the pointy end of a knife jammed up his-' ... well it wasn't a pleasant image that was certain. In no small part it was the pain talking, and the swift re-connection to the dark side exasperating it. Of course they were doing what they could to restrain him and tend to him but, well...

Darlyn was an angry man with a mission.

And too much firepower if we're gonna be honest.

Kay slowly came to, her head lifting slightly as she opened her eyes. Right away she noticed that she was elsewhere and not in the small space that was the glass cell. Good. But as she sat herself up, she realized that her situation was no better. In fact, it may have gotten worse. The energy of the ray shield was heard as it hummed, giving her a clear warning not to touch it. For all that she knew, it could shock her, and she didn't want to risk anymore harm.

With her head cast downward slightly as she looked to the other captives. "...Any of you have an idea of where we are going?" Kay could feel the vibrations of the ship still moving through hyperspace. Her desperate attempts to stop the ship had failed. So now she had to wait until some other opportunity rose. Hopefully one would.

It had been some time since she had been captured by a hunter. That wasn't a very pleasant experience either. Luckily for her though, she was rescued. Hopefully that same luck would pan out.

[member="Koda Fett"] wasn't much of a talker. Maybe now that they were out of the public eye, he would talk to her now. But that all depended on how angry he was for what she had done. Kay cleared her throat a bit and then began shouting. "Hey! Hey Koda! Can't we just make some other arrangement? One that's better than whatever's being offered for me?" She still had a lot of questions, and she was hoping for the answers before she was brought to whomever set up the bounty.
