Tatooine

[Thera Quyen]

Thera piloted her bike into the sandstorm, the goggles keeping the sand out of her eyes and the scarf keeping it out of her mouth, but the exposed parts of her face were harshly scourged by the dirt and grit, leaving it sore, but she was determined that things would go according to plan. Using her Force senses she felt the for obstacles ahead of her and adjusted her course accordingly, until they reached the edge of the fort. Standing up on her bike Thera twisted it to the side and slid into the side of the fort, jumping off and killing the motor just in time to slash at the side of the fort, leaving a giant gap in the wall, easily big enough for her to fit through. "Not much on security, are they?"[/font][/size]

[Heero Treys]

"Only the crazy and suicidal would do what we just did, no use keeping a guard for either." Star said as she jumped off her bike and walked over to Thera.
"That may be true, but only a fool thinks a Hssiss's bite is just a bite. Stealth is our best option here." Heero said as he caught up to both. He turned his off and got off.
"Thera, do you know how to cloak?" he asked as he pulled his pack out of his saddle bag on his bike.
"Or at least hide you presence in the force enough to seem like a under trained apprentice?" he asked as he joined the group at the opening.

[Thera Quyen]

Thera just gave him a look and tilted her head slightly, pulling back with the Force so that it seemed to disappear from her entirely, making her look just like any other human on the street, without the Force as her guide and ally. "That answer your question?" she asked scathingly, shaking the dust off her long dark hair as she watched him to see if he would do the same.[/font][/size]

[Heero Treys]

"OK" he said as he pulled out a pair of restraining cuffs.
"Looks like a good time to see how much I can trust you Thera. And how much you can trust me." he said as he gave her the cuffs.
"Do that again and put those on." he said as he pulled a crystal out of one of his light sabers.
"This is a stygium crystal. With this I can cloak myself and follow you in. When the time is right I will come out of cloak and start to attack. Those cuffs have a hidden unlock switch here." he said as he showed Thera, and put the crystal back in it's place
"Tell the boss here that the others were killed by her with a hold out blast. They each took a shot the the head before you were able to stop her." he said.
"So you like the plan?" he asked.

[Thera Quyen]

"If you think I'm trusting the tail-head here with me in a pair of cuffs you're out of your darti'syn mind. If it's such a great plan you be the one with your hands bound behind your back." [/font][/size]

[Heero Treys]

"Fine." he said as he took the cuffs back and gave her the crystal.
"You know how to use it?" he asked with a smile. He would be surprised if she did considering how rare the crystal was now a days.

((wth does darti'syn mean?))

[Thera Quyen]

"No I don't know how to use it, but I can cloak myself very well, and that should be good enough for you. You wanted to keep this useless peice of crap alive, you use her." Thera crossed her arms over her chest, giving him a dead serious stare.[/font][/size]

((darti'syn is a Kimbarun invective that loosely translated would mean frakking, only more severe))

[Heero Treys]

"Just do your cloak and focus on the crystal. They won't be able to sense or see you. Though do be mindful of bumping into something. They will still be able to hear." He said as he cuffed himself and kept a finger on the hidden release.
"OK Star, take me to the the boss. And no funny business either else your dead." he said as he went into the hole that was in the wall. As he did so he cut his connection to the force off. He would seem like a normal human to any force user.
"Fine" she said as she hid a sinister smile and followed in. Once she was in she walked towards the center of the building untill they where in a long hallway with a large door at the end.
"That's it." she said and pushed Heero towards it as four Sith, all human, and ten tusken raiders began to walk towards them.

[Thera Quyen]

Thera followed slowly, keeping herself cloaked in the Force, the only signs of anything the glow of her golden eyes within the folds of her black hood. Seeing the Tuskens coming at Heero she stopped in the shadows, keeping her head down so her eyes wouldn't glint in the low light and give her away. Inside her robes, she gripped her lightsabers tightly, waiting to see what would happen now.[/font][/size]

[Heero Treys]

"Hold it Star, whats with the new toy? And where are the others?" a well built male asked.
"The new toy is an anti sith that some how managed to kill the others. Taking him to see Roderick. You know how imaginative he can be when it comes to punishment." she said with a smirk as she looked at a deep scar across his muscular chest.
"Or do you need a reminder, Jaster?" she asked with sinister look.
"This time I think I'll watch rather then participate." he grimaced and stepped aside, then as Heero and Star walked by he turned and followed, as he did so he motioned for the others to follow. When they got to the door Star opened it and pushed Heero through it rather roughly.
Jaster turned and motioned for the Tuskens to stay and guard.

((Did you forget about what if?))

[Thera Quyen]

Thera watched as the Sith disappeared down the corridor, kept from following by the knowledge she was supposed to be invisible, and it really wouldn't do for and invisible person to take out ten Tuskens. Not to mention the noise it would make... Sighing through her nose, Thera pressed against the wall, caressing her lightsabers as she waited for the Force to tell her it was time to move.[/font][/size]

((no i've just been busy))

[Heero Treys]

Heero was pushed to his knees before a staircase that lead up to a modest throne.
"What do you bring me Star'aven? You were not supposed to be here until late tomorrow." a whispered voice said from the throne.
"There were... complications. This man some how managed to kill the others that were with me with a hold out blaster." she said
"Why was he unable to kill you?" the voice asked
"I was handling some personal business, and when I came back he was trying to get rid of the bodies. I got the drop on him" she replied
"I brought him to you, I know you will make him regret what he has done and wish for death. You can be so creative with torture.
He must pay." she said
"He must be exceedingly strong for you to betray us, Star'aven." he simply replied
"Wha-what?" she stammered
"You think I am lying?" she asked
"I know you are Star'aven, The death of Malakai would have done more to you then what I am seeing. You are too calm, and the fact that you brought him to me instead of killing him yourself? Thats not like you Star'aven." he said simply, but harshly his voice carrying power in hushed tones.
"That may have been so once but I thought you could bring him more suffering then I ever could! I want him to writhe in pain, to beg for death!And when his wish is going to be granted, I want to do it!" she struck back, with her lekku twitching wildly.
"Stop this Star! i will deal with you latter, but right now I have to kill your co-conspirator he said as he stoodd up to an impressive eight foot tall.
"Jaster restrain her." he ordered as he walked down the steps towards Heero. Jaster placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Let go of me, do you really think that would fight him Jastor.
"Just doing as I am told Star, thats all." he replied as he gave her shoulder a remindful squeeze.

[Thera Quyen]

There are times when the Jedi learns patience from the Force, when the life-song of the galaxy sings sweetly and serenely, advising the Jedi to bide her time and all will be well.

This, Thera rapidly discovered, was not one of those times.

The pulse of fear from Star’avan flitted into her senses a microsecond before the flash of pre-fight adrenaline from Heero invaded her mind, telling her the time had come to act. Moving swiftly from shadow to shadow, she approached the ten Tuskens almost surprised at her own thoughts - they were only simple nomads, not Force users. The would be easy to kill. Silent as death she unhooked a thermal detonator from her waist, pulled the Force around herself like a shield, and lobbed it into their midst. There was a flash of light and six of the Raiders were down, never to arise again, a seventh pinned beneath a large piece of debris. Eight, nine, and ten, however, were willing and ready to fight.

Thumbing her light saber on, Thera stepped from the shadows, feeling the heat on her cheek as one of the Tuskens fired instinctively, barely missing her with the hot projectile. Bringing her blade down in a high arc, she sliced through the rifle, cutting it into two pieces before she sent a massive Force push against the wielder, sending it flying into a wall, a fleshy, wet snapping sound echoing through the hallway. Turning back to the other two she ducked just in time to avoid another, better aimed shot at her head. Dropping to the ground she sliced at the legs of her two attackers, trying to dislodge them from the place they stood trying to block her way further into the base. Both jumped away, dropping their rifles as they retrieved their gaffi sticks from their backs. Never bring a gun to a knife fight, she thought ironically then thumbed on her other lightsaber, bringing them down in an X over her midsection, letting some of the golden light flit into her eyes to show the meant business. Nine attacked with all his strength, aiming the blow at her head as he pushed her back towards the wall and away from his companion. Stabbing down with her light saber, she pinned his foot to the floor, then brought the blade up, immediately severing the body into two. She looked up from her opponent just in time to see another gaffi stick smash into her shoulder, jarring it free of the joint and leaving her with only one hand. Rage bubbled up inside her, and she reached out with the Force, pinning the offensive creature against the wall, then slowly followed him. He was lucky she was worried about Heero, or it would have been messy. Instead she made it simple, cutting his head off with one clean strike before she rolled on the floor, popping her shoulder back into place before advancing on the door, stabbing her lightsaber through it to try and melt a hole to Heero…[/font][/size]

[Heero Treys]

Heero began to laugh in a low chuckle
"I give you one thing Roderick, you know how to read people." he said as he unclipped the cuffs and freed himself from a self imposed confinement.
"But you don't know what I can do, and by the time I am done with you, you will join me or die." he said as he carefully chose each word as he opened himself to the force once more and felt the cold embrace of darkness enter his being once more, hugging him like a cold old friend. It entered his each and every cell. Oh yes the force would serve him well in this fight.
"Now we can do this the easy way." he said as Jaster charged at him. Heero caught him in a force grab and lifted him off the ground and pinned him to the ceiling.
"Star hold him, would you." he commanded and let go, Jaster fell a few feet before being forced back up by star, the strain showing on her face because of the effort it took to keep him there with him flailing around trying to break free.
"Or we can do this the polite way and have a drink and discuss why I am here." he said already knowing the answer Roderick would give. It would be the same answer that Star had given him.
"Surely you have sensed the life that disappeared just out side That door. It would be better to talk to me then to have to fight both of us." he prodded, giving away his ace up the sleeve. Each time Heero spoke he used a forceful tone and the force itself on Roderick, trying to get him to stand down.
"NO! Stop that, I am not so weak minded and willed as the ones you killed or Star'aven. Those tricks will not work on me!" he yelled.
"There is no trick here, I am simply trying to get you to calm down before I am forced to hurt and kill you. But I see it was to much to hope for, for you to be a man of discretion and intelligence." Heero said as he flicked eached of his wrists and his lightsabers came out from his sleaves and fell into his hands.
"Now am going to half to use force." he said and then activated both of his weapons.

[Thera Quyen]

The door slowly melted away, leaving a hole large enough for her to step through, then it was down the hallway and into the room where Heero waited with Star and the head of the yokel Sith. She wasn't impressed, but then again it took a lot to impress her anymore. "You called for backup?" she quipped, sliding to a stop beside Heero, both lightsabers in her hands, ready to be activated. "I told you the twi was worthless."[/font][/size]
