School's Out For Jungle (The Troublesomes)

Zaiden Dean · Feb 1, 2020

Zaiden turned when he sensed an oddity. Power approached. It seemed familiar...

"Son..of..a...bantha." Zaiden murmured, "Swore I heard you died once upon a time." He didn't see the irony that he imself had been pronounced dead a half dozen times now, when the man spoke, Zaiden felt his hand fly to his chest, "My stars! Why I would never!"

Laughing at his own stupidity, he stepped closer to Aedan, "Truth? I don't know a single person here. The Force told me my aid was needed so I came." At that he looked confused and turned to speak to the ragtag group he had originally come upon, "Why are we here?"

Turning back to Aedan he asked, confusion still upom his face, "Why are you here?"

Sharing comms with

Riamah , Vulpesen's brows knit together as he heard of the new arrival's plans. Taking children, on the list of things not to do while he was around, was rather high up. And yet, here these fools were, attempting to do just that. He tapped into his com system, sending his voice to the pilots within his shuttles. "Contact Veradune. Get a fleet ready and have them wait just outside the system. Lets hope Onderon can handle the company in the air, but I don't want to take too many chances here." Turning back to Riamah, he shut down the comms. "Do you know where Brigh is?" Zaiden's arrival gave the Valde momentary pause after he asked his question. However, at the moment all he had time for was a questioning look as his ears blew up with chatter from his men.

Off at the shuttles, hands were quickly snatching up weaponry and the final touches were placed on suits. Sitting around in a ship will full kit, while mildly practical, was incredibly uncomfortable. As such, there were a few things that the VSF squads had to grab However, even with the preparation, they would be ready in about a minute and quickly charging out of the vehicle. Upon receiving confirmation that each squad had left their vehicle, Captain Harlow would begin to give them their duties.

"Alphos 1-1 to Varos 1, standby for orders!

'Varos 1-1, take to the temple and scout the area around it! Weapons tight on SJO forces! Explain your presence and be diplomatic! Do not fire unless fired upon, or the children are actively being captured!'

'Varos 1-2, stay around the ships and keep our ex-fill safe! Same ROE!'

'Varos 1-3, 25 Alphos 1-1! Same ROE!'

'Varos 1-4, seek out enemies in the surrounding area! Verbally subdue all forces until PID'd or fired upon. SJO is currently friendly. All other forces are yellow until proven otherwise!"

With that, every man left to do their duties, armed and dangerous as they searched for whoever was crashing the party. If the enemy was lucky, they would escape. If they weren't, they would leave in chains and cuffs.

At the moment Ra picked up the comms from pretty much everybody involved, she pushed a button and shut most of that down. Shaking her head slightly, now about the only thing she could hear was between Vulps and his men. He wasn't the only person with her and a very uncomfortable Drau came up to stand next to her.

Nodding in the direction of the children and the running form Skorvek, they were all acquainted with each other.

"Guard the teens. One of them is the target of this fiasco and needs to be kept sage. I just wish I would have known Brigh better growing up to know what she looks like now. Take care of them all and keep them safe!"

Two more people showed up literally out of the blue. One introduced him and said he didn't know what was going on. Shrugging her shoulders just slightly, she waved in the direction of the kids, Skorvek and now Drau.

"They are the target of a fleet that is above this planet. A transmission was just sent and asked for one of them to be handed over. We're here to prevent this from happening."

Turning to face Aedan, it was clear to Ra that he and the other man knew each other. Lifting a hand, she made a negative motion with it.

"That's not the case at all, sir. We were doing a patrol when this happened. Now, what are you doing here? Are you friend or foe?"

Barely listening to the conversation going on between Zaiden and Aedan, the last question the former asked was the same as her and she waited. As of yet none of those on the ground had drawn any weapons, but she kept hers handy just in case. Considering patrols were rather common, this situation was getting out of control. If the Silvers expected her to maintain any form of control, this was well beyond her capability.

Growling to herself mentally, she sent a quick message to them. If they didn't already know what was going on, they would now. Hopefully, reinforcements would be sent and this could be ended.

Drauchir · Feb 2, 2020

Given his relative inexperience in the wider galaxy, Drauchir had left the greeting of the new arrivals to Ra. Soon enough though, she was turning her attention to him and giving him orders to protect the group of kids. One of them being the target of the fleet that had just arrived above the world. He gave a nod. It was at least a task he could manage given what was about to go down. "I'll make sure no harm comes to them..." With that, he turned his sword down as he emerged from the tree line that he had been approaching the tomb from and headed toward the group showing them that he meant no harm. "I'm here to help, Ra sent me... Seems we have some unwelcomed guests here to try take one of you... I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen..."

Josiah Miller · Feb 8, 2020

Location : Enforcer (Subjugator-Class Star Destroyer) in orbit of Dxun
Objective : Hold off the enemy Fleet for as long as possible
Important Tags : R Reyn Australis |

Tuuli Miles | + any one up there in Space.

Josiah Miller stood within the bridge of James Cerensp's Flagship , the Enforcer. Having jumped out of hyperspace in orbit of Dxun , the Fleet immediatly came under fire by Heavy Cruisers from Ondoron's Defense Fleet , a Star Destroyer from the Troublemakers and know a Mandalorian Battlecruiser. With no reinforcements nearby Josiah Miller hoped that James Cerensp could capture the girl in time as already the DIB was in a tuff situation with no chance at overcoming the enemy forces. With that Josiah Miller quickly contacted James Cerensp.

"James have you captured the Girl yet , we are already under fire from enemy forces and Mandalorian Reinforcements have arrived an entire battlecruiser had joined the fight and we can't hold longer if you delay any further and we can't risk capture by the Silver Jedi too."

"Don't worry Josiah my scouts found the Girl and we are going to try to corner her. I've ordered my troops back to the shuttles they shall depart to rejoin you soon. I'll stick around to capture the girl personally and deliver her to you. Send a separate shuttle to these co-ordinates and soon we can complete the mission. " James replied.

"Roger that , i'll be sending a shuttle right now. But make sure your men return safe and sound."

Soon a shuttle would be deployed headed towards the ruins in which

Brigh Solus Skirae and her friends were as James had sneaked pasted the main opposition having activated his personal cloaking device and withdrawn his men signaling to his enemy that he had fallen back and had ordered a retreat when simply James Cerensp had found the girl was now trying to kidnap her in full desperation as her Capture would mean alot to the DIB Director and a nice slap to the face for Stardust.

Josiah then looked back at the imposing Mandalorian Battlecruiser , five times the size of the Enforcer and it's sister ships and something they wound't stand against for long. With the one minute given by the Mandlorians now up , Josiah now expected the Fleet to take heavy fire. If they could hold then they could be still able to complete the mission. Hopefully.

"Full powers to the shields , we need to hold on against the battlecruiser for as long as possible."

Tuuli Miles

Adara Raxis

Brigh Solus Skirae

Despite the hostile tone that was shot at him from Tuuli, Aaran's face never drifted into anything less than mild confusion. Tilting his head to the side as he listened to the pirate prince. "I think you misunderstand." He said, tone never shifting from light and conversational. despite the fact that he was seemingly outnumbered. His disposition did not so much as twitch. "Never said I was gonna try and capture y'all. Dont intend to neither." He said, moving to stand in the middle of the corridor. Leaving the only way further in to the tomb as directly past him.

"I'm thinking we all just sit tight here. Wait for those Directorate agents to fall over themselves." He looked down at Brigh, giving her a slight wink. "But one of them might know how to point a blaster in the right direction. So best we all stick around here until they realise how bad of an idea it was to raid this system."

Both hands folded behind his back. Body resting at ease as he regarded the group in front of him. "But, I cant really let you go any further. The tomb is pretty dangerous and there's some delicate archeology equipment ahead. I'm not even allowed in the deeper chambers without an escort." He made a small gesture towards Brigh again.

"That and.... well. The pervasive Dark side energy probably wont be good for the little one. I dont think anyone here wants her to start having a seizure if some illusion traps get triggered or anything."

Ivan Stadd · Feb 8, 2020

Location : Dxun
Objective : ~~Capture the Girl ,~~ Withdraw from Dxun

As the standoff between James Cerenp's Forces and all opposing forces continued , James Cerensp's Scouts came across Sith Ruins having managed to evade any enemy force and managed to soon spot

Brigh Solus Skirae and her friends at the entrance of the ruins. Soon these scouts would take cover in nearby bushes and soon contacted James Cerensp. "Boss , we've spotted the girl. She's at some ruins alright with some of her friends and if we are quick enough we can take her" said the scout Leader. "Good await my arrival , i shall arrive with 10 of my Supercommandos. Soon we will complete the mission."

Then James ordered most of his men to return to their shuttles and return to the Enforcer while James and a group of 10 Supercommandos stayed behind with James planning to get Josiah Miller to have a shuttle pick him up at the ruins itself once the Girl would be captured. Once the DIB Troopers and personel departed on their shuttles , James Cerensp and his 10 Supercommandos activated their personal cloaking device and began heading towards the ruins carefully avoiding any opposition and soon meeting up with the scouts. Then James received a transmission from Josiah Miller

"James have you captured the Girl yet , we are already under fire from enemy forces and Mandalorian Reinforcements have arrived an entire battlecruiser had joined the fight and we can't hold longer if you delay any further and we can't risk capture by the Silver Jedi too."

"Don't worry Josiah my scouts found the Girl and we are going to try to corner her. I've ordered my troops back to the shuttles they shall depart to rejoin you soon. I'll stick around to capture the girl personally and deliver her to you. Send a separate shuttle to these co-ordinates and soon we can complete the mission. " James replied.

"Roger that , i'll be sending a shuttle right now. But make sure your men return safe and sound." Josiah Miller said.

Then as the transmission closed. James Cerensp looked at the girl and her friends , We can't risk capture by the silver Jedi Josiah Miller said and acknowledging that James refused to further pursue the mission seeing it as a failure having attracted all kinds of people on the planet. With this the DIB was corned here and if they tried they would only get crushed in any attempt to turn the tides around. Soon the shuttle landed in an opening near the ruins and James and his men quickly entered without the girl as they departed towards the Enforcer. They had failed yet again , and the DIB Director would not be happy

Vulpesen · Feb 8, 2020

Reaching the ruins, Vulpesen scanned the area, his hands hovering by his saber. Seeing the youth safe and sound behind the massive beskar door, the Valde couldn't help but smile. Better yet, he could hear the thud of boots as his squad caught up having run as fast as they could to their leader's location. "Well this seems like quite the party. Spread out men and set a perimeter. Wild Dogs get to cover and make sure you have a clear view on the sky." Even as he spoke the words, Vulpesen could feel the enemy coming close, a presence that simply spelled out danger if it were to have what it wished. "Focus your attention on the north. I feel something from over there."

Adara Raxis · Feb 9, 2020

“Don’t move!” Adara yelped at Aaran Tafo, yanking her holo-recorder up to her eye. “The lighting is perfect behind you oh you look the most elegant please don’t move! Oh please!”

With that, Adara focussed her mostly manual holo-recorder and began snapping images for her collection.

“If we are all down here together? Would you mind terribly taking a holo-image of all four of us? My cousin and my ... my...” Adara’s cheeks went bright red. She swept her mahogany curls out of her face and looked over at Tuuli. “... boyfriend... and Uncle Sloobieboo all together?”

Adara then paused, glancing up at the eight foot tall Anubian warrior known to her and Brigh as Uncle Sloobieboo, and glanced back at Aaran.

“We’re a blended family.” Adara held out her precious holo-recorder. The one possession which followed her everywhere, that she dug out of the ashes of Mandalore to salvage. “Pleeease. This is the first stop on our grand adventure and I simply must... absolutely must have holographic evidence that we made it inside.”

The 6’1” Epicanthix teenager bobbed up and down on the balls of her prim booted feet, wide expectant eyes framed by a face which, in retrospect, was a bit too pale. The bobbing stopped. He... wanted to stop them from going further in?

“Oh, but that is why I wanted to come so bad!” Adara hopped forward on both feet, clutching her holo-recorder in front of her. A gleam came to her black and red eyes, filled as they were with the very Dark of the Force which kept her alive since Jedi aided in her infant death. “My friends and I are... well, we’re running away. Mother never ever let me anywhere outside... especially without some form of military escort. I have to see it. Why don’t you come with us? It’s alright, you know. Uncle Sloobieboo and I can protect you. I promise, let us nearer the nexus and we can protect all of you to the point none will ever attempt harm on my cousin Brigh again. This... unworthy ruffian who thinks we’ll let him take her... he’s had every chance to get away. Thus, as he has not... he elects to receive the punishment which will fall upon him. All we wanted on Dxun was to run around and play a few silly little games. Youths stretching our wings, like fledgeling birds.

But this James Cerensp... he will quite find between all of us, there are quite a few of us little birds, who bite.

Brigh is going nowhere but here. We are going to see the sights we came to see. And if I am completely honest, you are the very first Jedi I’ve ever met who has not immediately attempted to brain me with their lightsabers, or shoot me in the head. It’s why Tuuli is so protective of me. He’s used to fending off a legion a day of idiots who think my death brings justice, or some... accursed natural order I deny by breathing. So do be a grand sport. Come with us. Haven’t you been dying to see further in? All I want is to see it. Take some pictures... we’d be safer further in. You could help us, help protect Brigh.”

The more she spoke, the more Adara’s crimson eyes sparked with excitement. With hints of power incapable of being cloaked. This Dark girl, all smiles and harmless fun, but fuelled by the same power which continued dismal illusions and traps in which Aaran feared.

“Don’t worry, Brigh and I won’t let them harm you. And Uncle Sloobie, Tuuli and I will never allow harm to come to you, Brigh. Besides... these Directorate types appear to deserve what is coming to them. I hear the boys have it... oh. Hullo.”

Cloaking devices might work for the eyes, but sneaking up on a teenaged Force Knight who fed off the lifeforce of others took more than a simple technological cloak. Especially when a massive locked beskar door was the only way in and out of the tomb. Adara grabbed Brigh’s hand and tugged her further in, further past Aaran and Adara’s beloved Tuuli.

In between James Cerensp and his quarry

Brigh Solus Skirae , was a massive locked beskar door. The door was sealed the same as it had been during the tomb’s glory days, and remained intact.

“Come now, everyone. Shall we have a decent time in an amazing place with many many many wonderful things? Pleeease? You do sense how many wonderful others are here to stop the... confoundingly unintelligent mooks hunting Brigh. Come with us! Please! You can be in some of our pictures.”
