Standing up, Finally.

[Sempra the Hutt]

"Oooorrrr...!"" the hutt roared at any guards trying to intervene. He kept his gun pointed at [member="Jardo Snow"] and with a hissing sound declared his intention in fluid basic.

"You are mistaken me for some lesser sentient being sith. I can only assume your actions are desperate and as such you are forgetting your place." the hutt snorted. A eave of fear and uncertainty mixed with contempt and pride showered over any force sensitive able to read emotions.

"Tell me how much my trusted friend [member="Nyx"] owes you and we might be able to settle this." he concluded with narrowed eyes shifting in between the Jardo and Nyx.

 

[Ka-Aver]

Ka-Aver swung around, one palm to the floor decreasing the possibility to hit him when [member="Jardo Snow"] force jumped over them. Although nothing in compsrisson to someone using force powers the veteran Weequay displayed an impressively agile movement as he flipped up onto his feet landing within range for his Vibro-Glaive to hit Jardo. At the hutts order he halted his attack and merely glanced sideways at [member="Nyx"] to be prepared for whatever she might decide to do.

Regardless Ka- aver kept his focus. If the sith made any sudden movement he would try to quickly pierce Jardo in the back with the tip of his Glaive.

 

[Salaza]

I'd only just come out of the bathroom to find what seemed like all hell breaking loose. I looked around at all the idiotic carnage, [member="Nyx"] apparently having beat the snot out of a few people all over a bar tab or something. Sheesh. Could there have ever have been a point where we could go somewhere and someone gets into a fight? Half the time I blamed [member="Sempra the Hutt"] for it. I think he encourages it without even realizing. I only just stopped outside the door before giving a long deep sigh after surveying the situation.

I walked up next to the Hutt and said "Alright, everyone calm down! And you, with the axe!" My deep voice ringing out a little Looking to [member="Ka-Aver"] . "Yeah, you! Next time you swing that I'm taking it away. Got that clear?" I then looked to Sempra, with his gun aimed at [member="Jardo Snow"] and insisted "Will you put that down! We're guests for crying out loud. Just pay the man whatever and let's get out of here before we end up in deeper poodoo."

 

[GhostOfProtocol]

Jardo stared at the Hutt. The damn slug was trying to deal with him. However, Jardo didn't really care, as long as he got his money. He chuckled at the thought. "About three thousand credits." he told the Hutt. Jardo shrugged, almost as if three thousand credits was nothing. He let the barrier around him drop, instead calling upon the force to try and force the Hutt to drop the gun.

Jardo didn't want to know what happened when that thing shot.

The hutt chuckled loud.

"Ho ho ho - Your jeedaii tricks does not work on me!" Sempra shrugged the notion of the mind effect away.

But he lowered the gun, pointing toward the floor, or perhaps Jardos feet, hard to tell.

"Three thouend credits you say. Hmmm... " the hutt scratched his chin thoughtfully.

"Considering how the beautiful ms Clyde seem to want us to avoid violence and I personally would prefer to see this fine establishment continue supporting my markets..." he announced with the intent of giving hope to those present.
Then his face hardened. " I suppose I can withdraw those three thousand from the damage you caused me." he continued.

"I will settle if you pay me 3700 credits. That will suffice for the strain to recruit more loyal guards as well as see to his family's expenses around the funeral. If you can not pay now I will generously offer you a month to collect it." he finished nodding toward his headless weequay splattered across the floor if anyone did not understand what he was refering to.

"Do we have an understanding..? Hum?" the hutt was tense, a dangerous moment for them both.

[GhostOfProtocol]

Jardo chuckled. Now the Hutt was expecting him to pay money? Did he ever mention how much he hated the Hutts? The Hutt seemed to lower the gun, and in turn Jardo lowered his lightsaber, not deactivating it however. He stared at the Hutt for a few moments, trying to decide if ending his life was worth it or not.

​"Wait, wait wait. Now you expect me to pay you credits? You expect me to literally stand here, and offer you credits? Go burn in a hole you god damn slime ridden filthball"

That was the final straw for Jardo. Calling out in the force, he heard a bottle smash behind him, just to make the Hutt clear of his anger. Jardo flicked his wrist up, slicing through the gun in the Hutt's hand. Calling upon the force to force jump over the Hutt, he broke into a run towards the back door.

He called upon a force barrier, in some vague attempt to protect himself from the forces of the Hutt Cartel. He was getting tired now, so he needed to get out into the streets and lose these guys soon...

[Salaza]

Well it started out fine. But then sure enough [member="Sempra the Hutt"] had to go and stick his slimy tail into his own throat. I sighed and groaned "Really?" when he wanted [member="Jardo Snow"] to pay him for the damages to his men. As if we weren't in enough trouble already. But apparently that was the last straw for the Sith as he started to retaliate with a force jump, destroying Sempra's gun and then making a break for it. As far as I was concerned [member="Nyx"] could run after him if she was so inclined. Right now I was just so mad at Sempra for being like he always was. I ever shot the giant slug a dirty look for it, but at this point I was giving him the silent treatment.

 

[Sempra the Hutt]

Sempra screamed, first in fear as [member="Jardo Snow"] leaped over him and smashing his gun in an impressive display of force, then as the sith darted toward the exit, he regained control.

"Everyone pay up to Sempra." his voice was low yet resonated clearly across the room that fell silent. He thwirled his hands nervously, it had been a long time since he was that close to death. But this was necessary, no one played games with the leader of the hutt cartel, he decided.

Turning his head to [member="Bonnie Clyde"], "You want my attention female? Place yourself between me and a lightsaber and you got i, whimpering only gets you so far..." he declared and turned to watch [member="Nyx"] - this was really her show.

"Do you want a reason to go after him?"

 

[Nyx]

Nyx frowned. The past few minutes had passed by almost too quickly for her to process, and now she was left with half a blaster, and an angry Hutt. Oh, Jardo was going down.
In answer to her boss's question, she leaped from the table, drawing Money Maker from it's sheath on her back.
The force barrier gave a bit of trouble, but she countered it with her own wave of Force energy, shattering the weak barrier. She bounded out after [member="Jardo Snow"], her eyes narrowing as she spotted him.

"Hey! You owe me a blaster, you nerfherder!" She called out as she gave chase.
Threaten her, beat her, steal her money, whatever.

But no one messed with her blasters.

"And my credits! Make her pay!" Sempra bellowed after the pursuing @Nyx.

[GhostOfProtocol]

Using the force to unlock the door, Jardo bolted, kicking the door open as he ran, lightsaber in hand. They entered a back alley, not very wide, not wide enough for a Hutt anyway, which removed one of the current issues behind him. He swore as he run down the alley. A bunch of angry Hutts, nice.

Nyx was catching up, but Jardo was smarter than she was. He reached out behind him, using the force to send up a force barrier dead in front of her. That slowed her down for now. Jardo used a force jump to reach the roof tops, and he watched as Nyx found a ladder behind him, following him up. The race from building to building was on.

He was pure adrenaline at this point, no energy left.

Down below a little kid stopped. He was almost surprised at what was going on, he wanted to see, just like every kid that age. Above the kid was a crate, a large, heavy crate being pulled by a crane. Jardo spent a moment formulating a plan before deciding to test how kind hearted Nyx was. He jumped across onto the crate, cutting the safety wire, sending it tumbling towards the kid. The kid seemed to preoccupied to care about his inevitable end, and no adult seemed bothered either.

Jardo jumped off half way down, grabbing onto one of the loose cords from the crane, using it to swing to a building across from Nyx. Now, Nyx was able to save the kid, she had time, but if she saved the kid, she'd lose Jardo. Her choice.

[Sempra the Hutt]

Sempra never moved an inch to pursue [member="Jardo Snow"]
Hutts like himself were powerful, strong creatures but much slower then most species.

He waved to the barkeep to keep serving and the weequay carried of their fallen kin followed by slaves cleaning most of the blood stains.
It was a day of bussiness, but this day would be remembered, what people had seen in here would most likely be told in bar stories for years to come, Sempra thought.

To smooth things over he motioned for [member="Bonnie Clyde"] to start dancing for the guests, showing what a generous hutt he really was.

[member="Nyx"]

 

[Nyx]

Nyx spent about half a second to think about her choice.
She had absolutely no connections to the kid, but she had beef with Jardo. She prepared herself for a moment, then sprinted forward, and used the Force to help her jump farther, latching onto a wire and following the same route as her quarry.

She felt nothing as she saw the kid crushed by the crate. Shouldn't have been dumb enough to stand there.

The mercenary landed with a roll, snapping up with her other blaster in hand, quickly firing off a few bolts at [member="Jardo Snow"], not really expecting to hit him, but hoping to slow him down.

[GhostOfProtocol]

Jardo felt the bullets before he saw them, and using the force he had plenty of time to dodge the bullets. He jumped to the side, not even using the force. Landing on a lower roof, he rolled into a standing position, still running across the roof tops. Nyx let the kid die, and that was a little harsh.

Nyx was still hot on his tail, but the Rogue Skipper was coming across the horizon. Jardo hit a sharp corner, attempting to dart from her sight. He couldn't be bothered to fight her anymore.

 

[Nyx]

Nyx swore loudly as her shots missed, and scrambled to run after her quarry, but that little jump of his had cost her a bit of distance.

As she landed on the same roof, she darted around the same corner, and saw [member="Jardo Snow"]; but much farther than before.
But the mercenary refused to give up, and used her Force abilities to enhance her speed, quickly eating up the distance between them.
She could sense him getting weaker, but she still had some wind left, and planned to use it.

[Krayn]

Always late to the party.
Maanis hated making it his job to be the backup plan, but the Hutt seemed to like it that way, let the action happen and sub the bounty hunter on as a pair of fresh legs. This time however the situation seemed to have got too crazy, first some sith had come in claiming he was owed credits, next he had threatened the boss and now he was running.
“Why can’t they ever just stay in one place.” He said to himself as he sprinted down the street checking on the leaping forms above him every now and again to make sure he didn’t loose them. His breath was kept focused and his instincts sharp as he dodged through a crowd of people who all seemed to be huddled around something with yells of distress.
“Nyx, watch the skies.” Maanis said into his comm that was attached to his wrist, the channel going through to the Hutt and several others before igniting his newly acquired jetpack and sending him up to the rooftops a little way in front of the fleeing Sith, effectively blocking his retreat any further.
“Boss says hi.” His carbine was raised into position and pointed at the Sith before releasing a fast series of shots while he moved quickly to the left. The sheer amount of fire should make it hard for the Sith to dodge especially after running for so long and would at least slow him down enough to allow [member="Nyx"] to catch up.

[Salaza]

Throughout all the commotion I only felt like things were going bad to worse. And here I thought [member="Sempra the Hutt"] or any of his goons, like [member="Maanis Vizla"] or [member="Nyx"] , could've made things any worse than they were. But then I remembered who I was dealing with. When the hutt made his remark about getting between him and a lightsaber I only rolled by eyes. No way there would ever be a time where I'd willingly take a bullet for him. There'd have to be a lot of credits or some sort of pay-off involved.

Once everything moved out and Sempra told me to start dancing I sighed and said "Fine, but only because it's better then chasing after that moron with the saber." pointing to where [member="Jardo Snow"] had run off.

I made my way onto the stage and gestured to the DJ. Time to make some extra cash. Just had to be careful not to say anything at least....for now...

 

[GhostOfProtocol]

The Hutt's just didn't know how to quit. He bounced from the roof tops, hitting the streets. Hopefully that'd shake the guy with the jetpack. Nyx was close though, too close for his enjoyment. He hit the button on his wrist, auto opening his ship. He was right there, he just had to get inside.

He made it. He slammed the button to close the ramp, and he slumped against it as it closed. Man that was close, too close for Jardo's liking. He smiled, powering up his weapons on the ship. Time to scare the Hutts.
