The Bold Step Forth

[Darben Skirae]

Even as it had been quite a lot of time, the planet of Zeltros still had it's issues. Crime was still spread about the planet, in the darkest corners. Through the markets, Darben Skirae knew where to look to hear of such rumors of crime. Passing through alleys, listening to any open talk, he caught onto some code words that seemed strange. Pretending to be a customer, the trader followed along carefully. This led him to the location of a trade ring. Immediately he began conceiving a plan. And for this, Darben had to pull someone close...

"I don't like this, one bit" his daughter murmured quietly. Neither did he, especially in her old looking dress. In his suit, he felt like a scoundrel. One of the many that dwell in the Black Markets. "I know, Renla. But the best way to get this done, is from the inside. Don't worry, mother trained you well. And she trained me too" he said with a smirk. Renla could only stick her tongue out.

Once in position, Darben activated a commlink. It sent a pre-recorded message right to his wife. Darben had not wanted to let her in on it, in case this place was struck too quickly. He wanted to learn more about this ring on Zeltros. The message entailed simple details; the location of the slave ring building, his idiotic plan of him and Renla going in, and to bring back up. Lots of back up. Should give him enough time.

Another day another...ugh...meeting. one thing in the royal life she didnt quite like that she was still growing used to, idly listening to some lower man drone on about expanding his business to nearby systems. Dont get star wring she loved knowing that business was growing but this was...her husbands forte rather then hers

They started clapping, she joined in blinking as she had gotten into thinking about other things. Her commlink went off and she stood bowing to go answer and...oh by the force....she took a breath and turned with a smile

I hate to cut this short but something has my attention that needs to be dealt with immediately

With that she excused herself and started walking off pulling her comm up to a direct line with her God killers and her security detail

I want everyone to the palace now armed and ready the...king has discovered a slave ring and...ugh he decided to go in and called me...just get ready to go I need to gear up

She got into her speeder as it took off quickly likely ignoring a few speeding laws that she would apologize for later...

 

[Darben Skirae]

Darben Skirae walked to the entrance of the slave ring. Holding a hand upon his daughters shoulder. Guiding her forth to the entrance, where some guards stood. They looked like ordinary folk, except for blasters only just barely hidden under their shirts. Darben knew the drill. He was not proud of admitting that this was not the first time entering a shady location. Putting his arms out, they began to scan him and his daughter. Noting they were clean, the pair were allowed through.

As soon as they entered, it was a long hall with a few more beings watching. Presumably more guards. Darben passed through with Renla beside him, somewhat in front also. Ahead, the main room. Crowds of people, bidding. He dare not look over, and instead went to someone with a datapad. He put on his businessman look.

"Got a thief here. She tried to steal from me, and I heard that you dealt with such. Think you can do that?" Renla had fear written all over her face, and it worried Darben if it was acting, or real. After giving a name, he was cleared. For now, he had not been recognized as the king of the planet. He knew ways to disguise himself. "Stay close" he whispered to her as they were led away.

Stardust could say one thing, she arrived without killing anyone or straight up going to the location, arriving at the palace she didnt even need to head inside very far. Her armor and weapons were laid out along with her bodysuit for the armor. Slipping into the suit she heard her God killers arrive

standard slaver operation...gotta rescue my damn husband and daughter that idiot why i... ugh...better be glad I love him

As she finished she had her westars un place and turned, eyes went from that soft caring queen to a fiery rage...the bold stepped forth to try and set up on her planet

And like the sat they'd be made a example

get officers to start converging we are heading directly for it...prepare for a armed response

With that the six hopped into a speeder and took off for the location

The noose was tightening

 

[Darben Skirae]

Darben was guided through, before the man soon paused. His daughter still in his grip while holding her shoulder till they arrived to a room, highly decorated for this place. Outside it looked all rundown. In here there was animal hides and heads hung up on the walls. Obviously whomever this was had a hobby in hunting. And not just animals it seemed, either. That was the worrying part, to him. Sitting in a chair was someone with a mask and an outfit that hid nearly everything about their appearance. Speaking, their voice was disguised.

"Requesting to speak to the manager, are you? Now, isn't that curious? What business do you ha-" Their eyes lingered upon Renla after they spoke. Thinking over things, obviously. Before sighing as they rolled their hand dismissively. "A Twi'lek, have those! Come on, come on give me something good!"

"Whomever you are, I can assure she is healthy. And strong...she is also-" The man paused at this. It could work, perhaps...but it was also a very big risk to even try this. "She is of royalty." The masked figure paused at that. Before standing, and approaching. Daring to lay a hand on her, moving her head side to side. Over some time, they soon nodded. "Yes, yes I have seen her around. How you managed that, I will ask another time...how much would you wish for?"

The speeder didnt even stop, started and the others bailed put and landed hard on the ground weapons drawn. The dark visor of stardust glared across the alley as she nodded for them to move each following the way point on their hud. Those who were around immedslty began to hide and run, stardust merely glared at them as she drew her sword

shoot to kill, watch for slaves, priority is the king and my daughter first secondarys we will get after. Police should be able to nope up what escapes

They nodded, fanning out to spread as she looked around, absent at a door, then she reached for the door and ripped it off throwing it behind her as she entered drawing a blaster in her other hand and looked at a guard who stood terrified

boo

The man screamed and turned to run, suddenly he was running on air then was pulled back towards stardust who turned her blade so he ran right into it. She pulled her blade out and proceeded forward
