BIO: Ja'han Kildor was just a standard kid from Correllia. He was excited to learn the tricks of the trade in his fathers manufacturing business. While aboard a freighter ship at the age of nine, learning how things worked, the freighter ship was mistaken for a Republic frigate, and was gunned down by myserious forces. When they realized their mistake, they flew away, and left the ships occupants for dead. Ja'han survived, but he was missing one arm and the other was severly damaged. The ship, crippled and floating through space, was picked up by a Republic crusier. The crew put the dying Ja'han in bacta, and slowly they built him an arm. The Republic was very generous, and made the very best, most expensive arm they could. They also designed more than 20 implants to help Ja'han survive and regain control of his limbs. Due to the implants, he now has more intelligence, strength, and movement than normal human beings. They fitted him with these, and sent him back to Correlia. However, he was angry with the way his life had turned, and decided to give up businessmanship. He went looking for work as a Soldier. He was turned down due to the fact that the Republic was not at war, and needed noone else. Frusturated, he took up work as a bounty hunter and assassin. With enough implants to be considered machine, he set out to Coruscant, where he knew he could find some work.

Bio: T'uune has been a bounty hunter long before the Mandalorian Wars, and has earned a reputation as a fearless warrior that will stop at nothing to claim his bounties. At a young age, he was recognized to be force adept and was taken to Dantooine for training. However, the Exar Kun War disrupted his training, and his master turned to the darkside to follow Exar Kun. Abandoned by his master, the young padawan felt betrayed and left the academy to earn a living. He encountered several Hutts on Sleyheron, and took up their offers for collecting bounties. He claimed all but the most valuable of the bounties. That bounty was collected by another young bounty hunter named Cassus Fett, and so began the long, often violent, rivalry between the two hunters. The rivalry ended whenever T'uune set up Cassus for an encounter with a Republic Fleet. There, Cassus met his death, and now the galaxy is left with Kola T'uune as one of the most feared bounty hunters. T'uune has recently been seen quite often with an unknown and young twi'lek woman in Corescant.

Trent walked into the Cantina on Sleheyron. He was there for buisness involving bounties. Finally, he found just who he was looking for. A rodian named Hearox.
"You owe me some money punk" Said Krass angrily
"You'll have to blast it out of me" Said Hearox
"Fine have it your way" replied Krass

Trent withdrew his pistol and shot Hearox in his chest. Hearox fell to the ground cold. Trent dug through Hearox pockets and found the money he owed him.

Trent decided to see what was going on currently so he walked over to the bounty list...

Name: Krawt Species: Rodian Reason: Stole from Habba the hutt Planet last spotted: Sleheyron Reward: 3000 credits

"I think ill go after him" said Trent

Ja'han Kildor flew into Coruscant's atmosphere. The navigaton computer he had installed informed him that he was nearing his destination. He slowed the thrusters and cruised towards the slums. On his way, he marveled at the planet. The last of the daylight allowed him to stare in awe at the planet. There were skyscrapers and landing pads everywhere. Trade and manufacturing was everywhere. Walkways connected different areas and sectors, full of shops, cantinas, clubs, and whatever else. As he looked below, hundreds of speeders raced in Coruscants depths. The wealthy here were really wealthy, sometimes with entire skyscrapers to call their own. Even the middle class here were wealthy enough to live in fancy apartments. Coruscants Ships flew around him, some coming within a few feet. Ja'han muttered a few curse words, and decided maybe he should get to his destination before a collision occured.

~

Ja'han backed off the thrusters, descended, and activated his installed bellythrusters to land him. Where he was landing, Coruscant Sector 5, landing area 6521BP11, there was nothing to marvel about. Even though daylight still waned, you could tell these were the slums. Ja'han had once been to Taris, and there the wealthy lived on top, and the further you went, the poorer it got. It was the same here. Abandoned manufacturing plants, broken-down apartments, and shady criminals were everywhere. He stepped away from his ship, and was almost immediately confronted by armed criminals.
"This here is OUR landin' pad, little kid!" The man who spoke was obviously the leader, with tatoos and greasy black hair.
"Yeah, you dock here, you pay us!" Another one of the goons spoke up.
"And if I refuse to pay...?" Ja'han let his voice diwndle.

All three of the gangsters drew their weapons. It seemed almost rehearsed. The gang leader spoke again.
"Then you die of course!"

The men may have succeeded, but they didnt count on Ja'hans 20+ implants and modified genes. With lightning-fast reactions, he shot down two of the gangsters. He had never been in combat, but the advanced targeting computer implanted into his brain made him a combat genius anyways. The last gangster, the one that had never spoken, got off two shots before Khan fired his flamethrower in his mechanical arm. (ooc forgot to say this - the experimental flamethrower and carbonite projectors are Republic design prototypes that run off calories, giving him unlimited uses). The man fell to the floor screaming, and died almost instantly.
"Well done, Mr.Kildor!"

~

Ja'han wheeled around.
"Who are you?" he asked. Then he realized how foolish he was, for there was noone there.

"Ah...someone important in furthuring your career!" A rodian emerged from the shadows, with a shady look in his eyes. Ja'han was impressed that the rodian spoke Basic fluently, but he was angered that the rodian wouldn't tell him what he wanted to know.

"Who are you?" Ja'han asked again.
"My name is unimportant, but I'll tell you anyways. I am Tyro Kreeta, Shadow Lord of the Underworld."
"Shadow Lord of the Underworld, eh?"
"Correct. If there are assassinations, collections on bounties, or spice smuggling, I am sure to have a hand in it. Now, I'm afraid if you tell anyone this, I will have to kill you. Now, down to why I approached you."

Khan was disturbed, but he waited for the Rodian to continue.
"I know that you came to Coruscant for bounty work after being turned down by the Republic. I also know that you have more than 25 implants and were part of an experimental bilogical engineering test when you were four. Due to these, you have insanely fast reflexes, and are much smarter than the average lifeform, human or any other alien."

Khan was disturbed.
"HOW DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT ME!?" he shreiked.
"I have sources in...high places. I was also your fathers friend, material supplier, and business partner, before he was killed on the shuttle incident. Now, since you are here for bounty work, we should get to business. There will be time for questions later."

The rodian turned and walked off, with Ja'han running to catch up.

(ooc, anyone could join anytime:))

Trent looked all over the planet of Sleheyron for Krawt but couldn't find him finally he found him in a abandoned apartment.
"Make one move and your history Krawt" Said Trent
"HAHAHA you fell into habba's little trap eh" Said Krawt happily
"WHAT" Said Trent surprised
"Its true now don't move or die" Said a voice from behind
"Habba you betrayed me" Said Trent
"Told you not to move now die!"

Trent nearly avoided shots from Krawt and took cover under a desk.
"NOW YOU PAY PUNKS" Yelled Trent as he threw a thermal detonator.

Trent ran out of the building and nearly avoided the explosion.



The next day he walked over to the landing plan and boarded the YR 30. He did all the system checks then rose is ship off the landing pad. Krass punched in the hyperspace coordinates for Coruscant and away he flew.

On the landing pad he was greeted by a rodian.

"Come with me I have work for you" Said the rodian
"Why should I"
"You would be smart to accept my offers"
"Offers eh got nothin better to do"
"Smart Choice" Said the Rodian
"Who are you by the way"
"Tito Tyro Kreetas older brother" Said Tito

The securty droid watched the baragwin walk in from the back of the cantina. The security droid noticed the baragwin carrying a rifle of some kind, thus the baragwin should not have entered. The droid informed the main computer that a violator was in the cantina. As according to the programming, the computer then informed the droid that the violator must be escorted outside, not to return. The droid then walked over to the baragwin. "You have violated cantina rules by bringing in that weapon. Come with me," it said in a mechanical tone. "I have violated no rule. Cantinas never post rules. Why should this one have any?," the baragwin responded. "Come with me. You have violated the cantina rules," was the mechanical response to his question. "Stupid droid." The baragwin then complied and followed the droid outside. "Do not return, or you will be dealt with appropriately," the droid stated. Suddenly, an explosion. Pieces of the droid scattered in many directions.
_________

"Crap," T'uune muttered to himself. He had flinched at the last moment and missed the target. Not waiting for the concussion rifle to recharge, T'uune jumped off the building and pulled out his net gun.
__________

Sensing danger, the baragwin brought his rifle to bear and scanned the nearby buildings for potential threats. Every pedestrian could be a potential threat. Most of them withdrew rapidly at the sight of his rifle, which helped him distinguish threats. After a couple of seconds, the baragwin punched a couple of numbers in on his gaunlet-pad and waited for his ship to arrive.
__________

Noticing the target punch in a sequence of numbers, T'uune put up his net gun and calmly tried to blend himself in with the rest of the crowd. Slowly walking towards the target, T'uune gently withdrew his lightsaber hilt. Suddenly, a small ship was just overhead about to land on the walkway. People rushed out of the way so they wouldn't get crushed by it. The target was rapidly moving towards the ship. T'uune gathered the force into his knees and lept into the air.
__________

The baragwin heard a light thump on his ship, but thought nothing of it. He scurried on board his ship and activated the controls for take-off. As his ship rose into the traffic streams, the baragwin breathed a sigh of relief. That shot the droid took had to be intended for me. Stupid Kreeta. I told him that I would pay him back. Then, a lightsaber ignited. "Set your course for this landing pad," T'uune said calmly. Startled, the baragwin turned around and saw T'uune standing behind him with a lit lightsaber and a datapad. Tossing the datapad to him, "Now set those coordinates, unless you would prefer me to return you to Kreeta in parts," T'uune ordered. Shaking, the baragwin did as he was ordered, and headed into the depths of Coruscant.

(ooc, dang this is a fun roleplay, good idea JediDude! However, we need more people :D )

Tyro Kreeta walked quickly, like he was afraid something would come out of the shadows. Sure enough, while Tyro was still much further ahead of Ja'han, Tyro was jumped. Two thugs were demanding money. Tyro, however, seemed to be well trained in the physical and martial arts, and jump kicked them both off the walkway. They fell screaming to their deaths. He was laughing when Ja'han finally caught up.
"The slums are full of those idiots. I get mugged on an hourly basis. It never ceases to amaze me."

Tyro walked on, and they finally arrived at a dingy cantina. When they entered, you could tell it was a hostile place. There were beaten up pazaak and sabaac tables in the entrance, and a few rather shady characters were selling old cards. When you entered the tap room, there were some odd people there. Hooded strangers drinking a mysterious ale, armored bounty hunters polishing their weapons...many of them looked at Ja'han with utter contempt. As you walked around the cantina, there were 2 more rooms: a music room, where aging biths played music to the dancing of exhausted twi'leks. The last room was a hangout room, with busted chairs and broken tables. Finally, they arrived at the bounty office. You could tell this was the main reason the dingy cantina was build. There were holoprojector that displayed data about the targets, and several computer consoles. There were old chairs around the room, and several datapads showing info about targets. Gathered in small groups were the bounty hunters, in many different shapes and sizes. There were some really tough-looking, tall, muscular bounty hunters sitting at a table drinking ales from dirty glasses. You could tell they were top dogs because everyone else gave them a lot of room. Then there were others, a group of short, fat ones that were well-equipped, but Ja'han had a feeling that they didn't know how to use all of their equiptment. Then, you had your standard arrangement of aliens: twi'leks, rodians, and a dangerous-looking mandalorian. Ja'han didnt have time to analyize them all, he knew that Tyro was waiting for him. He caught up, and Tyro opened a door and led him into an office. For such a dingy cantina, it was a really nice office. The chairs werent busted, and there was a nice wooden desk at the end of the room. There was a computer console and a few datapads on the desk. Tyro walked to the desk, and took a seat. He motioned for Ja'han to do the same.

~

"Down to bounties. I have 3 contracts that I can offer you currently. Would you like to see them, Ja'han?"
"By all means, Tyro."
"Excellent. The first is on a twi'lek, Bobo Xizor. He shot a Coruscant officer, and they want him dead. It pays 575 credits." Tyro went on. "The second one is similar to the first one. A rodian by the name of Slupiar Gluupan killed 4 civilians, and the police want him dead. This one pays 1500 credits." Now Tyro seemed to be hesitating.
"Yes? What is it, Tyro?" Ja'han asked.
"This one is very, very dangerous. There is a very corrupt politician on Coruscant, and hes got a lot of influence. He's been killing competitors and even civillians. We want him dead, and fast. It, pays 3,000 credits, but I'll give you a danger bonus of 1500 for taking him out. It's your choice."

Ja'han knew how dangerous some politicans could be, and so he finally decided to take out the senator.
"It's dangerous, and even with all of your weapons, your lack a little on the stealthy side. Follow me."

Tyro led him into a closet, but in the closet was some serious weaponry. He pulled out 5 things: A stealth utility belt, a thermal detonator, a poison stealth blade, a sniper scope, and a silencer.
"These are all yours to keep...I remember some really fair deals your papa gave me, and some crooked ones I gave him. This is my way of repaying him."

Tyro took his gun, and put on the scope and silencer.
"These will fit in these two pockets on your belt. If your not using them, you can stick it there. Likewise, your gun can go here. The thermal detonator clicks on here, and the blade sheaths here. Before you go, take this datapad, its got some important info on your target."

With those items and with the datapad, Ja'han left in search of the target.

Trent walked with Tito for an hour finally he got tired.

Trent-Where are you taking me anyway

Tito-To find my brother hes been gone for a while now

Trent-So were going on a wild goose chase

Tito-Hes still alive I know it

Trent sensed something that made his spint tingle. He looked behind him and there was a man with over 20+ implants.

Trent-Wonder what hes up to

Tito-My brother was looking for that guy after him!

Ja'han could tell that there were two people who were following him, but he decided not to talk to them until asked. Outside of the cantina, he was confronted by two individuals, one a rodian looking suspiciously like Tyto, but not exactly. Ja'han wheeled around, and had his gun pointing at the rodian in seconds.
"What do you want, scum? I'm on a bounty, can't talk."
"Nothing much, just looking for my brother, Tyto. Have you seen him?"
"Ohh..."Ja'han lowered his gun and put it back in his holster. "Yeah, he's in that cantina...good luck finding him."
"Thank you, Sir...oh, and good luck with that bounty."
"Thanks...uh...good luck finding your brother..."

Ja'han turned around and walked away. He was headed for his ship to search Coruscant for the corrupt politican. He stopped at his ship and decided to read the datapad but was startled by a sudden voice. He gripped his blaster pistol and yelled,
"SHOW YOURSELF!"
There was no answer. Frusturated, Ja'han decided to stick around and wait to see if it happened again.

Walking into the cantina with the disarmed and properly restrained baragwin, T'uune walked towards the back. "Hey!! That was my bounty!!," yelled someone from the bar. "Then perhaps you should have done some hunting rather than getting drunk, fool," T'uune replied coldly. Sensing the person pulling out a blaster, T'uune quickly drew his own blaster and shot him between the eyes from 8m. With the cantina now quiet and focused on him, T'uune calmly walked towards one of Kreeta's bodyguards. "I've come to collect this one," T'uune told him. "Inside, he's waiting for you," the guard replied nonchalantly.
__________

"Guards, escort this scum to a holding cell for later... questioning," said Kreeta with a smirk. "Now, T'uune, its nice to see that you've come through again. This time, I have something special for you," Kreeta said. "Its worth a lot, and I'm sure it would make a worthy challenge for someone of your caliber," Kreeta said. "What about the creds for that baragwin? And what about that punk I brought in a month ago? If you don't pay up now, then I would be more than happy to collect on your head. Just to remind you, the hutts want you for 4500, the republic wants you for 2500, and some factions of the exchange want you for as much as 15000," T'uune interjected. "No need to get violent. I have your money this time," Kreeta replied as he slid the credits across his desk. "Now, back to business. The Exchange has a good one worth 45000. They're after a traitor named Gronte. Now, so your aware, he's a former Mandalorien...,"
"Guardsman that personally guarded Mandalore during the war. I know who he is. What happened to him?, " T'uune interrupted.

Kreeta-"He joined the Exchange on Taris, well before it was destroyed, and worked as an enforcer for Davik Kang."

T'uune-"Didn't Canderous Ordo also become his enforcer?"

Kreeta-"Yes, but after Gronde betrayed the Exchange by giving the Sith the codes for Taris' defense systems. Canderous was there, working for Davik at the time, but he also betrayed Davik in order to leave Taris."

T'uune-"Then why not Canderous and Gronde?"

Kreeta-"Because only a few people know that Canderous escaped. Gronde, on the other hand, became a Sith Guard and was last seen with the Sith Fleet at Manaan."

T'uune-"He's with the Sith? Hmm, I guess he wanted to get some action outside of enforcement. Very well. Dead or alive?"

Kreeta-"Alive. And deliver him to a carrier on Sleyheron. I'll load up the specifics in this datapad. Good luck."
__________

Walking outside the cantina, he felt a young man standing by a ship with tons of implants inside of him. well, if you can't use the Force, its the next best thing... "Bon chance, mon ami," T'uune said to the man as he passed by.

"The reason I have all these implants Trent, is because I was attacked by mysterious people, wounded, and I had to be reuilt. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some business to attend to."

Ja'han ran outside, hoping to see the Mandalorian. He wasn't there. Ja'han sighed, and muttered under his breath, "I hope I see him someday...we could be pretty good business partners."
Finally, he read the datapad. It said,

Your target is Senator David Korplav. He will be speaking at a convention tomorrow. You are to be perched atop the Czerka Manufacturing plant at 2:00 PM for the convention. He is to be sniped, and you are to promptly return here. Good luck.

"Tomorrow, huh? I'd better get some sleep then, because I have a feeling this wont be so easy..."

Ja'han yawned, and clambered into the cargo hold, and started to snore.

Ja'han wondered how he was going to get onto the top of the Czerka manufacturing plant without attracting notice. The Z-19 would be conspicious, and so would climbing to the top. Then he remembered about the belt that Tyto had given him. He activated stealh and climbed up. He was perched on top of the factory, with a perfect view. It was 5 minutes until start...3 minutes...1 minute...finally, the senator appeared on stage. Ja'han had the perfect spot for sniping, but it was still too far away.
"activ eyezoom twenty"
His binoic eye zoomed into magnify the politician 20 times. Perfect headshot opportunity. He aimed...lined up...fire!

The politician went down, and there was a hole in his head. Perfect. Tyro promised a nice payday for this. Ja'han turned around, activated stealth, and climbed down a ladder. A speeder was waiting nearby for him, and he hopped in, and stashed all his gear except his armor. He'd have to blend in. He swooped down to the lower levels, following the map on the datapad. He finally arrived at the cantina, hopped onto the walkway, retrieved his equiptment, and planted a detonator in the speeder. It fell lower and lower...Ja'han felt the rumbling as it blew up far below. Content, he walked into the cantina. He saw the guy he had talked to yesterday waiting patiently for him, and he walked over to his table.
"I'll be with you in a second...I've got bounty I want to collect."

Ja'han walked into Tyro's office.
"The politicans dead."
"So I saw. It's all over the news. They don't know it was you, but if they figure out, theres going to be 20,000 creds on your head." Kreeta tossed him the datapad with the vague details on his bounty.
"So, wheres the pay?"
Tyro pushed 5,000 credits across the table.
"Ready for another bounty?"
"Not yet, I have some business to attend to..."
"Very well, I'll be waiting for you when yor ready."

Ja'han walked into the tap room, where he saw the guy from yesterday waiting patiently at a table. Ja'han ordered two Correllian ales, and brought them over to the man. He took a sip from his own.
"Told you drinks were on me. Now, you seem pretty interested in me. What do you want to know...?"

An explosion ripped through the fighter bay. With the rumbling beneath her feet, La'ola didn't wait for T'uune to tell her to take off. Running into the Talarra, she quickly activated the repulserlift coils and took off. "Kola, where are you?" she asked over the comlink. "I'm in a diner in the upper block #508304. Why?" he asked. "This place is going to hell. Something blew up the docking bays," she exclaimed while piloting the ship into freighter traffic.

T'uune-"Check it out. I want to know what happened."

La'ola-*sigh*"Alright, I'll make a couple of fly-bys. No guarentees."

La'ola then steered Talarra's Fear around to do a low-level fly-by. The first thing she noticed was the massive hole in the middle of the building. Whatever hit this place either did it from orbit, or they used a massive bomb. Carefully piloting the ship, La'ola maneuvered the craft into the hole. looking through the external cameras, she noticed another ship already in the hole. It was a Sith invasion vessel. "Oh nuts...", she said while quickly piloting the ship out of the hole.

La'ola-"Its the Sith!!! They've invaded the landing pad!"

T'uune-"Pick me up!! I think a target of opportunity may present itself."

Quickly flying through traffic, she stopped outside the diner. T'uune jumped on board. "Head back, NOW!!" he yelled from the back. She quickly flew back in time to see the invasion craft taking off with fighter escort. "Let me take over the controls," T'uune said. Activating his weapon arrays, he fired off homing missiles at the fighters, and fired the ion cannons at the craft. Suddenly, Republic fighters appeared on the scanners. The ion bolts hit the landing craft, and the ship stalled out. Most of the missiles hit their respective targets, but some missed. The remaining fighters turned to attack Talarra's Fear, but the now approaching Republic fighters destroyed the fighters before they could do anything. Talarra's Fear quickly attached itself to the crippled invasion craft, and T'uune went outside to somehow get inside.

Republic Fighter Pilot-"Take off from that craft, or you'll go down with it."

La'ola-"Give us two minutes!!"

Republic Fighter Pilot-"Negative. Take off NOW!!!"

T'uune-(from the back of the cargo hold) Do it!! Take off, take off!!"

La'ola didn't hesitate, and Talarra's Fear dove into traffic, away from the burning and falling craft. With a resounding blast, the invasion craft's engines blew, finishing off the rest of the building. T'uune then walked over to a holding cell and set an unconscious body inside.

La'ola-"Who is that??"

T'uune-"Would you believe that this is Gronde?? He wasn't guarding anybody, he was leading the whole thing. Found him on the bridge. One of the ion bolts threw him against a panel. All I did was run in, pick him up and run out."

La'ola-"Good, now lets get out of here for Sleyheron."

T'uune-"Not yet. I found out some info on that kid with the implants. I want to talk with him. Head for Kreeta's cantina."

Trent was slowly sipping his ale.
"First I would like to know what you were doing shooting the poltician, yes I know that was you, how I will not say."
"Also, maybe we could be partners possibly friends I know a place with alot of bounties that pay well"

Trent then felt a cold chill down his spine. He looked to the front door of the Cantina and say Tito with a blaster rifle aimed at him.
"RRRUUUNNN" yelled Trent as he ducked.

With lightning speed, Ja'han stood up and shot Tito right in the lungs. Tito dropped his blaster, fell, and writhed on the floor. Tyro walkd in. At first, Ja'han thought we was going to shoot him, but instead he walked over to Tito.

"Idiot brother. I was going to kill you anyways since you betrayed me and left me to die, but these two beat me to the punch. I never forgot what you did, and even today you tried to cover up what you did, and cloak it in a veil of sympathy. But I never, ever forgot what drove me into this life! You deserve to die, scum!"
"I...I..."
"Save your breath. Your sorry. Yeah, well, sorry doesn't cut it. You left me on Slehyron to be enslaved by the hutts because you were afraid, and thought little brother Tyro was holding you back!"
"Pp...ple...se...I...sor...ry"
"You disgust me.
"n...n...no!"

Tyto put his foot on Titos neck and crushed it. Tyro was walking back to his office when Ja'han asked him about slavery.
"I don't want to talk about it."
HE didn't even turn back to face Ja'han. Decidinng he should turn to the man who wanted to know about him, he said,
"I'm sorry sir, what is it that you asked?"

Trent saw a familiar face in the window. He thought it looked something like Krawt. He decided to talk to Ja'han.
"I just wanted to learn a bit more about you and become partners"said Trent

Then the familiar face walked in. It was Krawt and he was surrounded by three ugly looking trandoshans.

"Maybe we should leave Ja'han" said Trent

Trent explained the story about Krawt on Sleheyron.

"Now he's after me lets go back to my ship now!" said Trent

"Well Well if it isn't Trent and his friend" said Krawt
"Let me go"said Trent
"No your coming with us for execution" said Krawt

Krawt dragged Trent off with his men. When he was out the door he said to Ja'han,
"Best forget about this kid"
and he left...

Ja'han snuck out of the cantina. He saw Trent being dragged off towards a speeder. Ja'han silently followed. He saw trent bound into a cargo section of a freight speeder with electric bonds. Krawt and his men got into the speeder and took off. Ja'han looked around and found what he was looking for. There was a parked speeder down two more walkways. He ran as fast as he could, and finally got up to it. He hotwired the small red speeder, and went in search of the target. It wasn't hard to find, for large freight speeders went pretty slowly. He zoomed across the sky, hoping to board and grab Trent, but no luck. One of Krawts goons saw him, pulled out a blaster rifle, and fired a few shots. Two missed, but a third hit right in the engine, followed by another. The speeder engine was on fire, and was threatning to blow up. He was nearing the cargo speeder when his own exploded. He was blown off, and fell screaming down. He fell about 20 feet before he landed on another speeder.
"Hey, get off you core slime!"

The man in the speeder sped up, hoping to throw of Ja'han. Ja'han grabbed him by the neck, lifted him up, and threw him off the speeder. He looked down and saw the man plummet to his death.
Another moral lesson he thought Mean guy always dies. Ja'han hijacked the speeder, and flew to where he could see the cargo speeder chugging along. One of Krawt's trandoshan buddies looked pretty suprised to see him come after him, and alerted his buddies. They all fired, but now he was riding a fast, luxurious speeder of the upper city rather than a slow and crude speeder put together from spare parts. He easily swerved out of the way, and fired 10 shots of his own. A lot missed due to his speed, but one hit a trandoshan square in the chest. He staggered, holding his chest, and fell off the side. Now, Ja'han took aim, and squeezed off a few more shots, all of these missing. He decided that was enough. Dodging more fire, he activated his targeting computer implant, and fired three perfect shots. Two of them hit the trandoshans, but one missed. Finally, he looked down his sniper scope, and fired a shot that hit Krawt in the back. Krawt collapsed, but he wasnt dead yet. He could worry about him later however, for the cargo ship had stopped. Ja'han boarded, picked up Trent, and shot Krawt one more time. Now he was sure he was dead.
"Hold on" Ja'han said to Trent.

Ja'han flew the speeder he had hijacked back to the cantina.
"So, Krawt was all just a trick with no bounty? Dang, I could use some money. Hey, listen, you go into the cantina, and I'll meet you in a second." He said to Trent.

Ja'han turned around and moved the speeder to his ship. It could fit in the cargo bay, but just barely. Before he put it in the cargo bay, he examined it. There were no weapons, and the engine could be extensively modified.
"Maybe later" he thought. "For now, I've got to finally talk to Trent".

He turned and walked into the cantina and sat down at a table with Trent.

T'uune looked inside the trashed speeder. "Stupid Krawt. He never could stay out of trouble," La'ola said. "The kid is something. Shot him out of the sky with a blaster, and made a getaway. I must say I'm impressed. Just like his father. Let's head inside," T'uune said.

They walk inside and head for the two youngsters...

Trent bought a couple Coruscant ales. He payed the bartender 30 credits. Coruscant ales were delicious and costed little credits.

"So as I was saying" said Trent
"I need a partner and you need somebody to watch your back" said Trent
"Theres a bounty on you for 300 credits for you hijacking a red speeder"
"You could use the help what do ya say" said Trent
" Also, I just wanted to learn a bit more about you"

T'uune-(directly to Ja'han)"If I wanted that bounty, Ja'han, you would be on tow to the Republic security offices as we speak. You are now a wanted man, dead senator or not."

Trent got real nervous then sad. He was a traito he was as bad as Habba. He was so sorry for betraying his only friend after he saved his life.

"Im sorry Ja'han I truly am" said Trent

"Ill go say it was me who did it so you can be free"

Trent throws his gounds over to Ja'han. Then he leaves the Cantina to go turn himself in for waht he didn't do. He was in the streets of Coruscant...

La'ola watched Trent leave the cantina, and then looked at T'uune. He gave her the nod to go get him. "Sorry fella's, but I've gotta go. Maybe I'll clean house for ya boys later," she told them. "Clean house? Ah, ya haven't even tried yet," said one player. "Sorry, but something just came up," she replied. "Sure, more like you didn't want me cleanin your house sweetheart," said another. La'ola just smiled at them and walked away towards the exit.

Ja'han breathed out slowly. He could catch up to Trent later, but he wasn't sure yet whether or not he would kill him for betraying him after saving his life. He then turned to the mysterious Mandalorian, and asked him,

"So, since I don't think you're here to collect on my bounty, I think I can tell you what you want to know, but no guarantees. But, If you are here to collect the bounty, I'm afraid I'll have to splatter your brains against the cantina walls. Uh...yeah! So...what is it that you need?"

T'uune-"First off, not even your reflexs are fast enough for a former jedi (motions towards his lightsaber), well, a padawan anyway. Second, I do have some information that you might find useful. If you would rather break out in a fight, then by all means, do. However, you would pass on some information on your father."

"So you have information about...my father?" Ja'han could barely talk. His family was a sensitive subject. "Well...by all means, tell it..."

T'uune didn't expect himself to get hit, and took it hard. The round caused him to fall off the chair. However, he quickly recovered, but was stunned by a blast of pain in his chest. La'ola was hurt. Suddenly, something snapped inside him that hadn't happened since Revan tortured La'ola. His long repressed anger suddenly became active...
_________

(12 years earlier, on another assignment)
A blaster bolt nearly missed T'uune as he dove for cover. Sith soldiers covered the hallway in front of him. :swear: it. Why do I always have to take the life-threatening ones?

More blaster bolts impacted the panel he was covering behind. Grabbing a thermal detonator from his pack, he activated it and tossed it down the hallway. Waiting for the explosion, T'uune pulled out both of his heavy blaster pistols. BOOOOOOMMM!!!! T'uune jumped out from his spot and began firing where ever he saw a target in his view finder. With the hallway clear, he headed down towards the brig to pick up his target.

Upon arrival, he hadn't met a single person. This is way too wierd. Feeling outward with the Force, T'uune felt something strange. Something incredibly dark. Suddenly, a dozen Sith troopers swarm out of the hall in front of him. Ducking for cover, T'uune starts firing. However, he takes several hits as he gets under cover. Reeling in pain, T'uune leans backwards against the panel.

Suddenly, the fire stopped. The darkness was now approaching. T'uune felt spasms in his lungs, and an extreme tightness around his neck. "A bounty hunter? And here I thought you were a Jedi," Darth Revan said ruthlessly. Revan picked T'uune up with the Force and threw him against a panel and releases him.

Revan-"WHY ARE YOU HERE?!?"

T'uune-(tries to catch his breath)"I......'m.......not......saying."

Revan-(picks T'uune up againg and brings him closer to his mask, says menacingly)"Tell me, or you will die."

T'uune-(gasping for breath)"Then.......kill.....me.....Revan."

Revan-(smirks)"I won't give you the luxury. Besides, I know why your here. Your here to bring back that senator's daughter, aren't you? (pauses)So, how much did he offer?" (releases T'uune)

T'uune-(recovering)"So what if I am? (breathing heavily)The price is of no importance."

Revan-(to the guards)"Bring her here."

The guards bring out a light-green twi'lek woman. T'uune was stunned. He was expecting a young girl. Instead, T'uune begins to admire her beauty.

Revan-"This is La'ola. The daughter of the senator, which is no doubt why you are here. Now, tell me the price her father put on her head."

Not wanting to hurt the woman due to the Senator's exact orders, T'uune didn't answer.

Revan-(smirks)"I knew you didn't have the courage. (to La'ola)So, just so you know exactly what your father had planned, he wanted you to be recaptured by a bounty hunter, then jettisonned into space. The reward was, oh, refresh my memory, bounty hunter."

T'uune-(now with anger welling up inside of him; with bitterness)"He said he would pay 750 thousand."

La'ola is shocked. Tears begin to well up in her eyes. T'uune notices it, causing his anger to build up even more.

Revan-"Ahh, so you see how much he really cared about you. Stupid woman! (evil smile)You should have known better."

Revan then pulls out his lightsaber and activates it. "Now, the both of you will be witness to how much the both of you are truely worth," Revan states as he prepares to strike down La'ola. T'uune is now enraged like never before. He pulls out his own lightsaber and jumps to block Revan's strike. The block succeeds, but it does not stop the tip from grazing her lower belly. Both Revan and T'uune step back, facing each other.

Revan-"So, that is why I felt the Force so strongly in you. (senses his anger)But you are using the darkside..."

Revan strikes, parried, casts force lightning, success. T'uune recovers, attacks, parried, kicks and flurries, kick successful, flurry is parried. The duel continues for several minutes.

Revan-"Your anger is overwhelming you. (smiles menacingly)You cannot handle the power of the darkside."

T'uune, now in rage that he has never felt before, attacks Revan again with fury. He makes several minor hits on Revan, and pushes Revan backwards. T'uune then lashes out with the Force and throws Revan back about 6m. Suddenly, T'uune feels a calmness come over him. I've got to get out of here, now. T'uune then runs back towards the staring troopers and La'ola. The troopers open fire, but he blocks them with his lightsaber. T'uune reaches the troopers and begins slicing them. With all the troopers down, T'uune grabs La'ola and runs for the elevator. By this time, Revan is back up and is chasing the two renegades down the hall. T'uune and La'ola reach the elevator, and they make for Talarra's Fear...

Trent blasts a nearby guard and takes his vibroblade. He could sense the anger in T'uune. He could almost use the force to sense it.

"Wait the force!?!" thought Trent

He tried to use the force to push T'uune. Sucess it worked. Now he knew why his parents abandoned him with the jedi he killed when he was 9. He got mad at that Jedi so he killed him and took his saber, and was sad for killing the jedi he kept the saber everywhere he went as a token of sadness.

"The Saber!!!" he thought

Trent pulled out his saber. It glowed with a blue glow that reminded Trent of his parents.

"I won't attack you Ill only defend" Trent told T'uune

Ja'han watched with an almost sick pleasure. It was good to see the traitor be kicked around, but it was also sad to see that his temporary friend was being pounded. Ja'han was debating with himself what to do, but when he saw the lightning fly from the Mandalorians fingertips, he decided he didn't want to get in the way of that wrath.

Suddenly, the pain he felt from La'ola was gone. Something had happened. However, T'uune was blinded with rage, and he stormed over to where Trent was lying. Upon seeing the passed out body, T'uune suddenly felt peace. The anger began to abate. He deactivated his lightsaber. "Hey, who's gonna pay for this mess???" yelled the barkeeper. Anger flashed again, and T'uune uses Force Grip on the barkeeper and picks him up off the ground. "You will pay with your life," T'uune said menacingly. He slowly begins to crush the individual bones in the humanoid's neck. La'ola slowly regains conscienceness and sees T'uune killing the barkeeper. "Wait!! He's innocent!!!" yelled La'ola. Suddenly, realization swept over T'uune. He was about to be no better than Revan. His anger subsided completely, and he released the barkeeper. Now overcome with emotion, T'uune leans against a wall, exasperated. Looking over at La'ola, in her eyes, T'uune saw her kindness. Her innocence. He felt the love that they shared. Looking over at Ja'han, then down at the unconscious Trent, T'uune finds peace. "Come on," T'uune says to La'ola,"Let's get outa here." T'uune pulls out 3500 credits and gives them to the barkeeper, then, they walk outside.

T'uune was emotionally exhausted. It was hard to focus. He heard someone saying something behind him. Feeling outward, he felt the implants in the kid's body. Without turning to face him,"You'll find out eventually kid. What you know about him is one thing, what I know is the truth." T'uune stopped walking and slowly turned around to face Ja'han. "If you really want to know about him, then meet me in the Old Style Diner on the 67979th block tommorrow at 0900hrs. And bring some cash, you'll need it. For now, go help your friend," T'uune said. He then turned around, and walked to Talarra's Fear that was stored on a nearby landing pad.
