Mark awoke and his feeling healed knowing that someone must have used the force to do this but he still felt weak. He looked around and noticed that the engine was leaking toxic fumes into the hull, he thought it must have been caused when Trent shoved his lightsaber in it. He ran to the exit hatch and noticed the twilek and mandalorian dark jedi lying on the floor. He began to feel the anger in him rise as he reached for his light saber. he drew it and ignited it and was about to stab the mandalorian in the chest, when he began to think he couldn't kill someone in cold blood and he was the only one around who could have healed him but why?

He thought the fumes could be more dangerous and they may even ignite and explode. Mark plased his saber in his holster and grabbed the two unconsious sentiant. He ran into a small forest and layed then there, He was about to leave them when he heard the the howl of a kath hound and they would be unprotected from the beasts. He used his lightsaber to cut branch to make a campfire and ignited it he removed the mandalorians equipment so if he awoke he would be less likly to attack. He left the twi'lek alone as he felt the poor slave would have been through enougth, but then he began to think of the words the mandalorian said 'my wife'. Could it be possible that they were married? He decided to stay awake so when the mandalorian awoke he could question him and possibly take him to the enclave for a trial... If he would not go freely mark would have no choise but to kill him.

*Quietstorm awaited outside the Mandalorian's ship. Something was wrong. Tendrils of darkness reached out around the ship. There was a violent, tainted light, as though a Jedi falling. Destruction, wrath, fury. Anger at friends, betrayal. The mark of the Sith. But no... there was some sort of light to it. Could it have been Trent?*

Quietstorm: And why must you resort to violence to have people conform to your plans? That is not the way of the Jedi. And since when did ghosts of Jedi have direct influences on the physical plane? Something is amiss here...

*Quietstorm walked up to the Mandalorian ship, into it. He snuck in quietly, stealthily, making sure no sensors picked him up. He held onto an EMP grenade in case he needed to blind some sensors or disable a droid. But there was something else amiss in the ship.*

Quietstorm: The oxygen...

*Using his Force Breathing technique, Quietstorm is no longer vulnerable to being asphyxiated. He walks over the oxygen tanks. Someone here had decided to deplete the oxygen in hopes on knocking out the pilot... but had forgotten to turn it back on. Quietstorm turned back up the oxygen, slowly, so that the people in the ship could adjust. As he was doing so, he looked around. There were signs of a struggle... and yet...*

Quietstorm: Damn. There's no one in here...

*A kath hound howls outside, sending a slight shiver down even Quietstorm's spine. But then...*

Quietstorm: When did kath hounds howl at nothing?... Mark. You idiot...

*Quietstorm turns back up the oxygen and leaves the ship. He looks around and sees footsteps, leading into the forest.*

Quietstorm: You idiot...

*Smoke rises from the trees. A fire. If there were any Sith still on Dantooine, then they would be coming here. Quietstorm sneaked stealthily through the forests, towards the fire. Sitting around it was Mark, and next to him were two unconcious sentients, a Mandalorian and a Twi-lek. No doubt his slave... and yet something told Quietstorm it wasn't. Quietstorm took a quick look at Mark, probing his mind slightly, to find out the past events. Mark wouldn't notice at all; Quietstorm wasn't diving deep into his mind. Soon Quietstorm was able to piece together what had happened, and what the Sith taint was inside the ship; it wasn't a Sith taint. Quietstorm stepped out into the clearing. Mark leapt up, his saber flashing.*

Quietstorm: Stand down, it is but me.

Mark: Oh... I had thought you were Revan for a moment, with those robes and that mask.

Quietstorm: Mmm... you have let your feelings take control of yourself. Even if the Twi'lek is his slave, he has a right to her; you would be commiting a crime in freeing her by killing him, or abducting her.

Mark: Nothing deserves to caged.

Quietstorm: That is true, but you could have coaxed the Mandalorian to give her to you. And your rage when you had awoken; that was unjust.

Mark: I had thought him to be a Dark Jedi.

Quietstorm: Did you not already defeat one? Then what fear of Dark Jedi is there for you? He bears a lightsaber, true; he might just be a Gray Jedi. You attempted to attack him, without knowing who or what he is.

Mark: That is untrue. I had attempted to free his slave; he attacked me.

Quietstorm: Would you not attack someone attempting to make away with your property? And besides... did he not say something about his wife?

Mark: ... yes well-

Quietstorm: He is a Mandalorian. They have war for blood. I would advise to be more careful when trespassing on another's property, and when attempting to make away with someone's possessions.

Mark: I do not need a lecture. I am a Jedi Knight, same asyou.

Quietstorm: That may be, but I am advising you as an ally, showing you where you have been mistaken. THere is a lesson in every mistake; learn from them. No then, let us await the Mandalorian's awakening, and hope for an explanation.

Mark: He'll be awake soon; you have lectured for quite a while.

Thoughts and dreams filled La'ola's mind. She saw her father, the Senator. He was reaching out for her. The smile on his face and the laughter in his voice made her feel at peace. She began to run towards towards him in almost slow motion. She reached him, and fell into his arms. Smiling, she turned to look into his eyes. He was no longer smiling. He pushed her away slightly, and she saw the glint of a blade in his other hand. He thrust it at her belly, and......

La'ola jumped awake. She could feel the burst of adrenaline spiking in her system, and she felt disgust at the fresh memory of her father's betrayal. She noticed that she wasn't in her bed with Kola, and had a small feeling of panic overtake her. She sat up and began to frantically look around for Kola. She noticed the campfire and two men that she recognized from the Enclave. Jedi. She finally noticed T'uune next to her and breathed a sigh of relief. Looking back at the Jedi, she studied them as they were studying her.

La'ola- "Where are we?"

(OCC- I think speaking for another character counts as character controlling)

The twi'lek was the first to awake which surprised Mark as she was not the stronger of the two.

Mark- you're still on danttooine in a forest half a mile east of the ship i found you in.

He began to think of how he got himself into this mess first he heard that the jedi bastillia had defeated revan so the council assign him to assist Edison Trent and now he is in a forest with a dark jedi , his slave and a jedi who embraces the darkside. If it wasn't for Marks own struggle with his hate and anger he'd be the only one who would be able to comply with a the jedi mandate. However what was his mandate he was to follow edison trent and when he died his only order was defeat the sith. how was he suppose to do that they are converting more and more jedi and their ships are coming at such a rate the republic are losing the war.

Mark- Don't worry we'll take you to the enclave and have that scum locked up for what he has done. :he turned to look at quietstorm: Then i'm going to see the council for a new mission, Trent has died and his last order was to me was vague. I cant follo it. I suggest you do the same.

(ooc-as a suggestion, the pm system works quite well for setting up dialog. just send your character's dialog to the other person with the title of the rp in the subject line. then, let the other person respond until you both reach a concluding point of some kind. ;) )

La'ola- "Hey!! Nobody talks about my husband like that!!"

Apparently, the Jedi had mistaken T'uune for being the only threat among the two of them, and La'ola still had her blaster and her katana. With a flash, La'ola jumped to her feet, pulled the katana out of its sheath, and pointed the tip of the blade at Mark's neck.

Mark felt the cold blade against his neck from the twi'lek who he now knows to be an accomplis not a slave. He thought about how he could get out of this situation should he just chop her hand off or use the mind trick he desided that both would be a waste of energy as this women seemed to have a spirit that leaned to the light.

Mark- I Don't wish to hurt you but i will defend myself, put the weapon down and let's talk.

OOC: CCing is usually limited to actions, unless you give someone else's character dialogue that doesn't fit them at all, i.e., "Mark: DIEDIEDIE!" That would be character controlling. Doing dilogue for another character to further dialogue/story isn't character-controlling.

BoT:

*Quietstorm moved forward. He put his gloved hand on the katana blade, holding it down and away.*

Quietstorm: Stand down, or I will be forced to incapitate you. And you wouldn't want that happening just after you wake up.

La'ola simply pulled the blade out of his hand as she would a sheath, specifically making sure the blade cut through the gloves, but not his skin. She held the blade up to her face in a defying manner, then re-sheathed the blade.

La'ola- (calmly)"There is nothing that you could do to me that wouldn't cost you your life eventually. Whether from my hands or the hands of my husband, you would die. But, since I feel like being reasonable, I want to know why my husband is passed out like he's been drinking for hours on end, and why we're in the middle of a Dantooine forest around some campfire with two Jedi. Of course, that is if the explanation isn't too difficult for you."

*Quietstorm looks at his glove for a second.*

Quietstorm: *Quietly* It will mend...

*He looks back at La'ola.*

Quietstorm: I do not now all of the events that have taken place, but I do know this. Someone cut off your and your husband's oxygen whilst you were in the ship, in hopes to incapacitate you. However, whoever they were, tey had forgotten to turn it back on, and so you were going to be asphyxiated. Mark entered your ship, suspecting your husband to be a Dark Jedi, and you to be his slave. Whilst attempting to 'free' you, your husband awoke and knocked him out, healed him, and then opened a port in hopes of getting oxygen into the ship, but lapsed back into unconciousness. Mark awoke and carried you and your husband out here. I came in, checked the ship, turned back up the oxygen, and came out here. Mark and I talked for a bit, and then you awoke, demanding to know where we were, and then threatened Mark with a weapon. We are now awaiing your husband to wake up. Is that sufficient?

La'ola- "The answers can actually get quite complex, and since we've been betrayed twice in a single day, I honestly don't think letting you know what happened really matters anymore to us. Firstly, lets set things off on the right foot. My name is La'ola T'uune, and this is my husband, Kola T'uune.

In case you can't tell, he's a Mandalorian bounty hunter. He probably wouldn't like it if I got into details, but he is a former Jedi padawan and has a fair knowledge of the Force. He actually hasn't even told me all the details of his past, but I do know that his master betrayed him to follow some kind of Sith Lord a long time ago. Since then, he became a bounty hunter, and I'm sure you've at least heard about some of his exploits.

As for me, I came into his life as a bounty. I was captured by Darth Revan and held for ransom very early into the current Sith War. T'uune, however, rescued me from him. *sigh*But my father, well, he wanted me to die after the Republic knew of my escape. T'uune couldn't kill me, though, and I stayed with him since I couldn't go anywhere else. We fell hopelessly in love with each other a couple of years ago, and we had an official wedding ceremony six years ago.

As for us attacking the Enclave, well, it wasn't so much as an attack than just simply a chain of distractions to achieve a goal. That goal was to implant two pregnant ysalimiri inside of the Enclave. We succeeded, by the way, but we were betrayed, but not by the Sith. We were betrayed to the Sith. T'uune probably knows why, but I don't. Our employer was a Czerka Officer who used an assassin droid as a liason. We were never told his name, and T'uune destroyed the droid during the firefight earlier today.

Now, about Trent, all I know is that he made some kind of offer to my husband that had something to do with 'saving the galaxy'. T'uune declined on the grounds that he wasn't going to get paid for it, and apparently that ghost-thing has been harrassing us ever since. Stupid mother-:swear:....

Anyway, thats about all the details that I can go into without making T'uune angry with me, so you'll just have to wait for him to wake up before you can find out more."

Mark looked at all the assembled party and then into the flames of the camp fire.
Mark- now i would be obliged to take you to the nearest republic authority... but i won't our meeting seems to be... strange. We are ordered to assist Trent and your husband seems to know him now that would lead me to beleive the force has brang us together to... save the galaxy and stop the sith.

La'ola- "Well, whatever happens, I know for a fact that we're going to expect payment for whatever we do for you guys. And if I remember correctly, T'uune told me once that the galaxy isn't really worth saving in the middle of a war. The conflict alone creates high-profile bounties on both sides, thus higher returns than peace-time. Whatever happens, if you guys really want our loyalty, then your offer had better be higher than what the Sith, the Exchange, Czerka, and dozens of other private individuals can offer us. Otherwise, I know that T'uune will decline as he declined Trent."

T'uune stirred on the ground, and calmly sat up and looked around. He finally looked at La'ola and smiled.

T'uune- (to La'ola)"Very well done. I've been listening in since you woke up, and I must say that you've said almost exactly what I would have said if I had woken up first."

T'uune gets and hugs La'ola. T'uune had been waiting to embrace her since he had heard her waking up next to him. T'uune knew that whatever damage the lack of oxygen had caused would have been quickly healed by his regenerative abilities, and he was right. T'uune and La'ola released each other and looked at Mark and Quietstorm.

T'uune- "Well, I don't think that I've properly introduced myself. I'm Kola T'uune. I know that you've met my wife, so lets get down to business. I think I know what the mission is, but I need to know the offer your willing to give me before I make up my mind."

Mark thougt for a moment and then looked up at the two bounty hunter.

Mark- Our Offer? well we can't offer you credits but lets be honest here there are things we all want more than credits. firstly i can arrange for all republic criminal records Concering you two to be wiped but thats quite small as you still go where you please but the thing you want the most is... Revenge. Revenge on those who kidnapped your wife and those who tried to kill you. I can't promise you many but i can guarentee we are going to come across more sith and dark jedi than any one else. If you want credits go but you said czerka and the sith will pay you, They want you dead not as an employee or did you mis understand what that dark jedi was doing to you. so you can work for the exchange but do you really want to work for a group that uses twi'leks as slaves. the way i see it, Its us or you will be running from everyone watching your back. : He looked at all the people around and into the flames : but you still have a choice... for now!

Quietstorm: ... I doubt he would care much for his criminal record... if ther is one at all. He is abounty hunter, true, but that is a legitimate job... But one thing strikes me as strange...

Mark: What?

Quietstorm: Why would the ghost of a deceased Jedi Master come back and begin to attack someone? I would understand if that someone were Sith... but there is something wrong here. Trent - if that is Trent at all - is doing many Darkside things... attacking ships... I don't doubt hat it was he who turned off your oxygen.

Mark looks at Quietstorm and then looks within himself to feel the dark taint and looks back at Quietstorm to see the darkness within him.

Mark- You should know as much as i that no one is immune to the darkside not even a master who has become a ghost of the force. Us living are simply more suseptible(sp) to it.

He looks back at kola t'uune.

Mark- And from what i remember of my teaching of the exar kun uprising. Did your master not join exar kun on his crusade against the jedi. Ha, Funny how we always begin to become what we don't want to be especially when we hate it.

These words were familiar to him as he knows everytime he fights a dark jedi and strikes them down in anger he takes another step towards joining them.

Mark- back to our offer will you accept or will you just keep running from destiny.

Trent was alone on the Dantooine plains. He was depressed, he had on friends, no parents, and no life. He sat there on the plains looking at the stars. He was an outcast, he couldn't rest in peace. He then got an idea. His body was in a tomb on Dantooine. He could be reborn, but that would take enormous amounts of pumped energy. He would have to have a big power source and that power source would have to be able to pump electricity into his body big amounts as fast as possible. He walked slowly to the Talarra's Fear.

He noticed the ship was still a big wreck. He turned invisible and walked in.

"So whats with the party?" Said Trent

He then dropped an envelope and some papers on the ground. He looked at T'uune in a stern way.

"Read it, decided yes or no."

The paper contained the plan of getting Trents body back. It was very complicated and the credits in the envelope were only enough to get the ship up and running again.

T'uune studied the two Jedi. He already knew they couldn't make any monetary offers: the Jedi didn't believe in personal wealth.

However, the mere mention of his former Jedi master sent shivers of hatred across his body. Even his eyes briefly flashed red as the hatred echoed the darkness that had been with him since the betrayal. The darkness that T'uune had both learned to live with, and learned to use during brief points. T'uune, however, realized that his abilities would be limited against two Jedi, and quickly suppressed his hatred, as he was accustomed to doing. But he still had to respond to Mark about his master, so he tried to speak without letting the hatred come loose. He failed.

T'uune- (with hatred and intensity)"My master betrayed me and everything I used to believe in. I used to believe all the garbage that the Jedi Teachings throw at you. How to avoid loving relationships, avoiding anger, and even repressing emotions entirely. And all for what? So you won't get "tainted" by the darkside? So you won't succumb to its "temptations"?

(intensity and hatred increases) My master had gone through so much with me as a padawan to teach me all those things about peace and harmony. Then, he succumbs to his own emotions, which can never be suppressed, and begins to give in to the darkside, and finally turned completely. He tried to bring me with him, but I obeyed my teachings and fled. He even tried to kill me, but I still managed to escape.

I tried to return to the Enclave, but was refused admission. (hatred, beginning to overflow)The Jedi abandoned me at my dire hour, just as my master had betrayed me just hours beforehand. They ALL abandoned me!!! I even met several other Jedi just days afterwards, and was REFUSED help.

(speech is slow and deliberate) You can choose to fight for a faith that can still fail you and 'save the galaxy', but if I'm going to fight for that cause, then I need incentive to do so. I have no loyalty to the Jedi, the Sith, the Republic, or anyone else. My destiny will always lie with the highest bidder, and to no one else. There is only one cause in this galaxy, or any other, that would gain my unheralded loyalty: my wife. Outside of her, there is NO CAUSE worth fighting for."

The intensity and hatred continued to steam inside of T'uune. Even his eyes betrayed what had just happened, in that they were now wreathed in a dark flame.

All that had happened in the past 70+ years of his life had just reached an overflowing point, but instead of tears or weeping, T'uune had become instilled with the darkside. But T'uune soon realized what had happened, and pushed the hatred from his mind. His eyes and overall demeanor returned to normal. However, the hatred was still in a small corner of his mind, ready to be released once again.

Mark looked and saw the anger surface in the mandalorian and then subside.

Mark- Now we are asking for your help and you are being just like the jedi you hate so much. The order tried to turn their back on me when my master was killed but they did not. I'll be honest the war is going badly and you honestly think the sith will want a mandalorian and twi'lek being bounty hunters in their empire you want credits you can get them from anywhere else we are offering you more we are offering you the ability to save those who cry for help, Those only can save, to stop those who wish to turn yourwife into a slave nad those who will want you dead. This is destiny if you turn your back on it you are as bad as those who you should be fighting

These words he spoke were once spoken by his master before his death When mark was just told he had a destiny that may start the path to save everything. he looked back at kola t'uune and his wife.

Mark- I have nothing more to say, i suggest we all go back to our ships. I'f you communicate with me in 12 hours i'll i'll expect an agreement if not don't make any communication and leave otherwise i'll be at your ship ready to take you to the nearest republic authority for judgement. Good bye T'uune.

Mark stood up and pulled his robes hood over his head and walked away towards his speeder bike. He raced off towards where A-10 landed his fighter to await the possible communication.

Without waiting for Quietstorm to respond, T'uune and La'ola gathered their things and returned to Talarra's Fear. The ship was a mess, and T'uune found the envelope and the instructions from Trent. Although T'uune was angry, he couldn't bring himself to let an old friend go. He kept the envelope and the money and started repairing what he could while La'ola traveled to a supply depot on the speeder to pick up some parts.

T'uune figured he could at least get Talarra in the air and fly out under full manual control. With no weapons or real manuevering capabilities, though, T'uune knew he couldn't get in a firefight until it was fully repaired.

La'ola arrived at the supplier depot, with whom T'uune and La'ola had done tons of business with in the past and picked as many parts as she could on credit. With T'uune's reputation, they knew they'd get the money within a week or two. La'ola returned to Talarra and began replacing the damaged parts with T'uune's help. After a couple of hours, Talarra was repaired enough so that Talarra's Fear could take off. T'uune did so, controlling only the neccessary thrusters needed for manuevering while La'ola controlled the throttle and made heading calls back to T'uune.

With that, Talarra's Fear left Dantooine and flashed into hyperspace.

Mark was meditating by his fighter still waiting to see if T'uune would take the offer. He had recently told the enclave of the yasamari and the jedi managed to get to them before they had given birth. He had also just heard of the blocade around taris and how the jedi bastillia had gone missing. He had also heard of another jedi turning to the darkside and that all jedi were to leave her by the grove until she can be counciled by someone.

A-10- Beep beep

Mark- So he left then, see if you can get the signal on that tracking device, if they have not replied by the time the 12 hours are up we'll have to after them.

During his earliar communication with the jedi he told them of the situation and was told to attempt to arrest the ex-padawan bounty hunter if he refused to help them. he was still unawere if he was to do this by himself or if another would be assigned a jedi or member of the republic. He began to contemplate what Quietstorm would be doing as mark was still unsure who this man actually worked for as he seemed to be a most un-orthadox jedi if he even considerd himself one. Mark desided to wait knowing his tracking device would go undetected atleast until they arrived at there next location.

*Quietstorm still stands amongst the trees. He contemplates the words of the Mandalorian... It reminds him of so much, and yet of so little. Quietstorm had felt the taint. He had become the taint, reveled in it... and was redeemed. In love, in his cruel, cold fury known to him as 'love', he redeemed himself. But the Order had not accepted him. Not until he had to strike down the one he loved. It wasn't an order plot; it was necessary. He wasn't forced to; he decided to. Her blood was forever on his hands, and the words of the Mandalorian had struck a nerve, strokekd a memory. Quietstorm turned and left. He walked, all of the way back to his ship.*

Quietstorm: Lily, prepare the ship. I have a feeling that we will be leaving soon...

Lily: Aye sir!

*Lily had always thought the commander to be a strange one, but then again, what Jedi wasn't? But this Jedi, he had history. Something in his past that changed him. She doubted that he was always calm and cool, even under fire. Something told her that he used to have quite the temper, of controllable emotions but only to a specific point. She thought that he was once a normal person like them all. But it didn't matter what she thought; that wasn't what she was paid to do. She primed the ship's engines, calling out to Nav to prep themseves.*

Talarra's Fear exited hyperspace. T'uune hit the forward thrusters hard, because he knew what was coming. A space station was just ahead, and the braking thrusters were needed to prevent them from slamming into it. La'ola set in the nav points and headings, and T'uune followed them as best as he could.

The station gave them clearance, and T'uune carefully guided it into place underneath the the docking hatch (similar to the docking hatch the Millenium Falcon used at the end of TESB). The clamps locked on, and La'ola began to shut down the systems. T'uune walked into the cockpit with La'ola.

T'uune- "Well, she held together, anyway."

La'ola- "We'd be in some really deep stuff if she didn't."

T'uune- "Hmph, well, its a nice solid ship. Anyway, we're here for repairs. This guy still owes me a ton of money on a job I did for him 10 years ago. I have a feeling he'll get his men to fix the ship and add modifications, with proper coaxing of course."

La'ola- "Well, who is the guy?"

T'uune- "He's an ancient supplier of sorts for anybody that wants his services. His name's Flosh Vgieran, or just Floshy for short. He been a big supplier for every side in every war since Exar Kun. It wasn't always a legitimate business, hence the job I did for him 10 years ago. But now, even the Republic recognizes it as an important contributor to the war effort. The thing is, he doesn't want anybody knowing where his base of operations is, just in case it loses that legitimacy with whoever's in power. The only reason I'm permitted that knowledge is because he still hasn't paid me."

La'ola- "I think the question is: why hasn't he paid you yet if he's running a good business?"

T'uune- "Simple: he offered me free repairs, upgrades, and even new ships for free as long as I'm alive as the payment. So, he hasn't lived up to his end of the bargain until I die."
________

T'uune and La'ola went up the hatch and went inside the station. Flosh was there to greet them. He was a short, natural colored twi'lek. As soon as he saw La'ola, his eyes lit up.

T'uune- "Floshy!! How ya been doin??"

Flosh- "Pretty good. Business 's ben excellent, too. How's life been treatin ya??"

T'uune- "Well, its been treatin me alright, but Talarra's in bad shape right now. If you don't mind, of course?"

Flosh- "Of course not. I always keep me word. Need anythin special this time?"

T'uune- "She could use some new armor, if you got some lying around. Oh, and uhh, maybe you guys could juice up those engines a bit. We need some more kick off the line."

Flosh- "Not a problem. It just so happens that I can replace that ancient durasteel armor with some of the latest stuff. Its some of that high-impact stuff thats really lightweight. Disipates the energy from blasters pretty good, too. Hmm, its kind of interestin, since the war with the Sith began, they haven't been callin fer much other than stuff for their troops. Very few parts for their ships, and I hear they got a massive fleet. Seems a bit unusual to me."

T'uune- "Hmm, that is weird. You're not asking me to check it out for you, are ya?"

Flosh- "Well, I wouldn't mind if you decided to lend me a word or two if ya did, but otherwise, I'm already payin ya a lot for the last job ya did. Anyway's, did you get yourself a girlfriend there, or did ya marry her (motioning towards La'ola)?"

T'uune- "OH!! I'm sorry I forgot to introduce my wife. Flosh, this is my wife, La'ola Nomancrei T'uune. La'ola, this is Flosh Vgieran."

Flosh- "Nomancrei?!? Your not that one Senator's daughter are ya? That got rescued six years ago??"

La'ola- "Yes, Senator Nomancrei is my father, well, at least I consider him to be my father. But since he never had a son, well, I just 'got in the way'. Trust me, there is a reason why my father didn't marry me off to some rich noble back on Ryloth."

Flosh- "Ahh, that stupid Ryloth tradition of a father disowning his own daughters. Well, all I have to say is that I'm a very proud father of 5 daughters and just one son. Granted, I had them with two seperate wives, but the first one died in an accident. Anyways, I'll let you guys head on down to the guest wing, and I'll make sure your ship gets a good job done on her."

T'uune- "Thanks, but I've got a special request for ya. I need a large capacitance power converter as a favor to an old friend.."

Flosh- "Consider it done. Now, go get some rest, well, for a couple of hours anyway."
_________

After a couple of hours, Flosh called T'uune and La'ola into his offices. As they walked in, T'uune could feel the anger from Flosh. Something was wrong.

T'uune- "Whats the problem, Flosh?"

Flosh- "This is the problem. (holds up the tracking devise that Mark had put on the hull) Do you have any idea where you got this?"

T'uune- "I didn't even know it was there. It must've been placed there within the past 48 hrs or so, and there's only been........(realizes that it was Mark)one person to visit my ship before now. THAT SON OF A :swear:!!!! That :swear: jedi must've placed it on my hull the other night."

Flosh- (calms down)"A Jedi? Hmm, okay, well, thats not a problem. The Jedi already know where this is. Its a good bet that he knows you here, though. It broadcasted the tracking signal as soon as you left hyperspace."

T'uune- (annoyed)"Well, is everything done yet?"

Flosh- "Yes, yes, its all done. The power converter that you specified is in your cargo hold as well. You can leave when you wish."

T'uune- (forces a smile)"Well, thanks again. I hope you dont' get into any trouble on my account. I'll see ya around sometime."

Flosh- "Alright T'uune, you and your wife take care. And drive safely."

La'ola disengaged Talarra's Fear from the docking hatch. Everything was working well within normal parameters, except that the engines were running cooler than normal. No doubt one of the modifications added to them. La'ola set the coordinates into the nav computer, and Talarra's Fear flashed into hyperspace.

Marks fighter was flying through hyperspace to a sector of space that appered to be the middle of nowhere. mark was just thinking of the previous events and the hate and anger he had felt. He also wondered if t'uune had even gave his offer a second thought. His orders was to bring the bounty hunter responsible for the attack on the enclave to see the order. The odd thing was he wasn't to be arrested it was for somthing else. mark desided just to find him pass on the message then see if he would follow although from what he now knows of T'uune he is unlikly too. His thought started to think of the resent developments of the sith blockade of taris and how bastillia was missing. This was another advancement for the sith in the war, no bastillia ment no battle meditation. The signal of the tracking device suddenly stopped and he knew it was discovered Mark hoped that t'uune had not left the system let. A flew Minuets later he exited hyperspace and only saw a single station so he desided to communicate after an extensive arguement (and a little jedi mind trick) he was cleared to enter a hanger and landed. He was greeted by a Twi'lek.

Twi'lek- you are not wanted here

Mark- I'm just here looking to give someone a message.

Twi'lek- I know who exactly you are looking for and he ain't here so go.

Mark- do you know where he is, Flosh Vgieran.

Flosh- how do you know who i am.

Mark- I'm a jedi i know these things, don't worry i don't care about what goes on here. I'm here to complete my mandate so i need to see t'uune, where is he.

Flosh- he left, Idon't know where.

Mark- i need you to do somthing for me then, send him a communication to return.

Flosh- why should i do that?

Mark- Because if you don't every goverment in the galaxy may find out about this place.

Flosh- and what if i don't let you leave.

Mark- please, i'm a jedi i'd like to see you try and hold me.

Flosh- hmmmm, what would you have me tell him.

Mark- The truth, i'm here witha message for him that can only be delivered personally.

Flosh- and if he doesn't return?

Mark- I'll leave and pertend i was never here.

Mark and flosh walked in to a room with a large communication console and he recorded and then sent the message to t'uunes ship. They then walked into a lounge room that overlooked the hanger with his fighter in it. and awaited to see if t'uune would return.

Trent was in his tomb on Dantooine. He had set traps everywhere so noone except a jedi could get through. The jedi must have a good heart. Knowing T'uune, T'uune heart was in the right place.

He sat next to his sarcophagus. He heard something from behind him. He turned invisible and looked around.

"So sir where is the riches?" Said a voice
"There probably in that chest over there, Trent was very wealthy, or so ive heard." Said a big grumpy Trandoshan

"T'uune needs to get here soon." Trent whispered to himself

T'uune gripped the man with the Force and lifted him even higher into the air. Around him layed the bodies of Czerka guards. T'uune was angry, but he was controlling it to make sure he got the information he needed.

T'uune- "Why did you want me to get captured by the Sith? ANSWER ME!!!"

Officer- (choking and gasping for air)"I...had......to. They left me....no choice. (gasps for air)"
T'uune- (increases the grip on the man, just slightly)"Bull-:swear:ing-:swear:. Your lying. What was the price??"

Officer- (still choking)"They.....stormed the office......offered me my life.......for yours."

T'uune- (briefly squeezes very hard)"YOUR STILL LYING!!!!"

Officer- "OKAY!! (gasps) Okay....(gasps) They offered.......75k."

T'uune- "You're trying to insult me, aren't you? 75k for me?? Why did they want me?"

Officer- (gasps)"Said something about......an assault.....the Jedi.......you killed the commander......a Force vision......I don't remember.......details."

T'uune probed the man's mind again. He was telling the truth, now. T'uune lightly tossed him back into his office chair, and walked outside. This news was quite troubling for T'uune since he had just recently seen a similar vision during his meditation on the trip.

What made things even more unusual for T'uune was that he still had a chance to take up Mark's offer. As T'uune and La'ola boarded Talarra's Fear, T'uune figured that he'd entertain the idea a bit, especially since he was returning to Dantooine to help Trent out.

Mark and flosh were speaking over a bottle of nubian wine they were still awaiting the communication from t'uune. Both men seemed to have calmed down since their initial verbal confrontation.

Flosh. Ha, You know your alright, for a jedi.

Mark- Thank you.

Flosh- so can i ask what do you want with T'uune.

Mark- I can't give you too many details but there is somthing big happening in fact there are two big things coming. Last i heard the first one is going to be handled by the jedi bastillia so i don't need to worry about that. But they need T'uune for somthing else somthing that could save everything.

Flosh- Huh, how do you mean?

Mark- well thats what i'm not alloud to discuss.

Flosh desided not to persue his line of enquirey and turned his views to the fighter mark was flying.

Flosh- Thats the new type 2 JMS ain't it.

Mark- yeah.

Flosh- how fast is it?

Mark- It's the fastest fighter in the galaxy.

Floosh- [whistle] nice you must be a fair pilot.

Mark- I'm alright.

Flosh- Modest aswell i suspect. I tell ya i would love to get my hands on that.

Mark- well it's not mine to give. so keep away.

Flosh- O-k, you know T'uune should have replied by now.

Mark- Yes, I better be going back to dantooine, and tell them i was unsuccessful.

Mark and flosh walked into the hanger and mark got in.

Mark- Don't worry your seacret is safe with me.

His fighter left the hanger and shot into hyperspace. after an hour he arrived at the enclave and walked to the council the council were concerned of the amount of grave robbins of jedi tombs but they asked mark to wait as they felt somthing else would solve it.

Master vrook- Mark, We have resently discovered that the sith that you fought while, investigating t'uune were not as they seemed. They are apart of a splintered group who have broken away from The main army under the command of the former jedi Master Ny'son. Ny'son is now a dark jedi master and they appear to be doing somthing that not even the sith seen to condone. We did wish for T'uune to accompany you on this mission but as you were unsuccessful we will have to consider some other candidates for it. We beleive the resently elected twi'lek senator on coruscant may be helping these sith. you are to find and question him to see what he knows. This may have been made easier if t'uune was with you as we understand he worked for this senator Nomancrei.

Mark- Yes, I beleive he married the senators daughter.

Master vrook- You leave tomorrow, allthough this is not an order if you can just check the recent jedi tomb as they are likly to be targeted by these grave robbers.

Mark then left the enclave and headed towards the tombs.

There were at least 10 slaves minor guard. The there was like 20 trandoshans. Trent slowly turned invisible and walked to a trandoshan seperated from the rest of the group. He snuck up behind and grappled him, then broke his neck.

He picked up the body and put it in a corner. He checked the body and found a datapad. He read it.

The 5th day of our mission to find the treasure

We were ambushed by some Kath Hounds the other day. They injured our slaves and killed our men. We have 14 men left and a couple slaves. I hope the Kath Hounds don't live in the tomb.

-Grundo Gran

Trent heard something breathing. He turned invisible and looked around. It was a big red Kath Hound. They were known as the "Devil Kath Hound". They were extremely rare and if you found one and killed it you would probably get alot for the tusks. It was almost as big as a Krayt Dragon. The Kath Hound slowly snuck into the other room. Trent heard gunfire, screams, and blood. He slowly looked into the room and all he saw was one slave next to his tomb.

"Help someone, anyone here?!?" Said the Slave
"Your okay someone will come and help you." Said Trent in the persons ear

The slave then fell asleep over in a shadow corner where he couldn't be seen. More Trandoshans came as if there were reinforcements right outside the tomb waiting for the other people to die.

La'ola went through the landing cycle, and Talarra's Fear was back on Dantooine, except they were now in a very hidden location. La'ola made the job of finding it all the more difficult by hooking up a modified stealth field to Talarra's sheild generators.

T'uune, however, was thinking to himself. The main thing he was wondering is why he was doing this for absolutely no money. Sure, the thrill of the hunt is one thing, and the glory of combat is incredible, but everything for no money? It just didn't make sense for T'uune. T'uune just felt that maybe he should give up on the whole bounty hunting business and settle down with La'ola at the getaway T'uune had built for them 3 years ago. It was built in an isolated spot in the middle of a rainforest. It was a beautiful location, and T'uune didn't spare anything when it came to luxeries. It had everything they could ever dream of and more. All he had to do was.....

La'ola- "Well, are we going to get outa here or what?"

T'uune jumped. He wasn't expecting La'ola to interrupt his thoughts.

T'uune- *sigh*"Yeah, lets get go. Don't forget: bring maximum firepower. In case something goes wrong, I want us to be able to fight our way out."

La'ola- "Already taken care of. Everything we could possibly need is in the speeder."

T'uune- (smiling lightly)"Alright then, lets get moving."

La'ola and T'uune left Talarra's Fear and got into the speeder. It was weighted down with a turbolaser attachment on a rear turret. T'uune knew what that was for and got in the gunner's seat behind the controls of the gun. La'ola grabbed the controls, and they sped off towards the Jedi Tombs.

T'uune felt ahead with the Force and could feel the aura coming from the Tombs. Just the chambers having the Jedi there made it a powerful location in the Force. But T'uune felt something else. Something dark, sinister, waiting. It didn't bode well for T'uune. He felt something else as they approached: a group of people. They were heading into the caves. They were armed, and T'uune could feel greed coming from them. Grave robbers.

T'uune ordered La'ola to slow down as they approached. As they crested over a hill, La'ola stopped the speeder while T'uune studied them with a view-finder. It was a small group of Trandoshans, and a few slaves. The Trandoshans were carrying heavy blaster rifles, and he noticed a manned blaster turret set up near what T'uune guessed to be their perimeter.

T'uune adjusted the scope on the turbolaser sight, and aimed for the blaster turret. T'uune let his weapon charge up, then he fired. The blast hit the turret in its charging banks, releasing a cascade of electric current throughout the machine as it shorted out. The trandoshan manning it died instantly.

The rest of the trandoshans readied their weapons and ran towards the perimeter. T'uune got out of the gunner's seat and pulled out his rifle. Aiming carefully, he slowly pressed on the trigger. *pppft* The supressed gun fired a 60mm round. The round hit a trandoshan in the head, and a fuse in the bullet set off a very small charge that blew the bullet into a ton of smaller fragments as it was penetrating the trandoshan's skull. Its head blew apart like a melon.

T'uune recocked the bolt and aimed for another Trandoshan. The previous shot had sent the trandoshans off to look for cover. Unfortunately for one of them, he didn't realize that T'uune could still see the back of his head. *pppft* T'uune recocked the bolt as he prepared to snipe out another trandoshan. One of them was hiding behind a tree. T'uune turned off the fuse for his next round, and *pppft*. T'uune recocked the bolt and prepared for another deadly shot.

By the third shot, the trandoshans realized that they would all get shot out if they stayed outside, and they all went running into the cave. But not before T'uune took out two more of them as they were running.

Now that the clip on his gun was empty, T'uune simple replaced it and got back into the speeder. La'ola carefully and quietly headed towards the entrance the trandoshans had entered.

Mark desided to wait a few hours before heading to the burial grounds and get some sleep. He set up a small camp halfway between the enclave and burial grounds. He layed nexy to a tree in the fields ensureing his mind was open to his surrounding ensuring he could not be attacked in his sleep.

In his sleep he began to dream of a temple in the middle of a jungle. His mind wandered inside and he saw himself, T'uune La'ola and the deseased jedi Trent fighting sith and dark jedi. in the back ground of the fighting he saw a massive sphere that was glowing red like the darkside dose in force sight. he then heard himself shout "we must stop the device it will be active soon!" his mind then flashed red and he awoke.

When he awoke it was late so he desided to head for the tombs he walked and felt disturbanses in front of him as if life was being estinguished. He began to run and hid behind a tree to see trandoshan run into a new tomb. he looked on the outside and reconised the statue of the occupant

Mark- Edison Trent?.

He also looked around and saw dead trandoshan some of which no longer possessed their heads. Which he felt explained why the others ran into the tomb. Suddenly he heard a speeder and felt a familiar presance drive up to the entrance. It was t'unne he contemplated if he should approach them but was unsure if they would be friendly towards him. He will be needed for his upcoming mission to coruscant if he would help?

La'ola stopped the speeder near the perimeter the trandoshans had established before T'uune sniped them out. T'uune felt into the cave and could feel the trandoshans trying desperately not to be afraid. Granted it was quite difficult to be brave after 6 of your comrades mysteriouly got their heads blown off from a sniper.

T'uune was about to step outside the speeder when he felt a presence nearby. T'uune very carefully aimed his turbolaser at a large tree branch where it joined the tree, and fired a small charge. The bolt hit the large branch, causing it to fall down directly on top of Mark.

Trent heard something from his tomb. It was gunfire, loud and noisy. He decided to go to sleep in his crypt and wait for T'uune to resurrect his body. He slowly fell asleep and had a strange dream.

Don't please don't.
Now you die Mark
NO HELP SOMEONE!
T'UUNE ILL AVENGE YOU
*cough*We need to rescue Trent still

Trent had flashes of a Terentek. It had killed T'uune, injured Mark, and the Sith had tried to take La'ola. It was almost as if it might come true. Trent sat in his crypt silently waiting for T'uune.

followed by a vision of a Terentek. It had killed T'uune, injured Mark, and the Sith had tried to take La'ola. he also felt the presance of an other but not in the vision as if another was having it at the exact same moment.

He snapped out of the black out and stood on to his feet and walked over to the speeder rubbing his head with one hand and had the other out in front of him as a sign for the gunner not to shoot.

Mark- For the sake of the force do you know how much it hurts having a branch fall on your head. By zantors minion, do you shoot near everyone you meet?

He looked at the converter and then back at T'uune

Mark- O.k, I'll help but after we've done this you let me by you both a drink at the nearest cantina while i make the republics proposal... Deal.

Mark held out his hand in order to shake hands if the bounty hunter would accept the proposal.

T'uune- "This is a favor for an old friend. I'm only doing this out of the single shred of kindness thats left in me. As for the drinks, I could use a good Corellian ale. Haven't had one of those in a while."

T'uune grabs Marks hand and shakes it.

T'uune- "Now lets get moving. Just be careful: I felt some kind of powerful darkness in here. And that wasn't the trandoshans."

With that, T'uune and La'ola crouched down and snuck inside the cave. As they enter the first chamber, T'uune pulls out his concussion rifle. La'ola already had her repeating rifle at ready. As they travel further into the chamber, several trandoshans pop out of hiding and open fire. T'uune quickly fires a blast near one of the trandoshans, sending shards of rock flying into the air. Several shards impact the nearby trandoshan, and one blade-shaped shard impacts the trandoshan in the head, killing him.

La'ola then proceeds to lay down tons of suppressing fire in the general vicinity of a couple of trandoshans. With the trandoshans hunkered down, T'uune pulls out a thermal detonator and sets it for a small charge. He tosses the detonator behind the trandoshans, which brings one out of hiding. He was quickly cut down by T'uune with a single blast from the concussion rifle. The others froze in place and watched in horror as the detonator went off. They were instantly disintegrated.

However, the blast caused a small cave-in in that corner of the chamber, which also covered up the entrance to the next chamber. Undaunted, T'uune uses the Force to pull some of the rubble out of the way, but can't get a large piece of rubble out of the way. The entrance is still blocked.

Mark clapped slowly at t'uune.

Mark- "You know your shoot first, shoot somemore, yob a granade and then ask a question way of doing things, isn't how yyou should act in a unstable tomb. "

Mark looked at the large piece of rubble and noticd it would not budge. so he began to knock along the wall near the rubble to find a weak pot. he continued this for a minute and suddenly stopped moving knocking in the same place.

Mark- Hmmm, but then again that way of doing things can help occasionally. : turns to t'uune : If you have any timed or remote mines i would plase one here. :points at wall: Not too powerful however.

T'uune- *sigh*"Look, if you need a charge in that exact spot, all I have to do is change a couple of settings on my concussion rifle here, and viola, (fires a charge at the spot Mark pointed out, creating a small hollow area that extended the opening to the next chamber) instant door."

"Who is that?" asked Trent

Suddenly two Sith showed up. One force pushed T'uune and the other quickly shot Mark with a stun blaster. Then a terentek showed up. Trent occupied himself trying to kill the terentek.

"Guys forget me, get outta here!" Trent threw his saber through the terentek's head, the monster roared and fell to the ground.

Trent was almost to late. The first Sith raised his lightsaber to T'uunes face.

"NO!"

Without waiting for the Sith to revel in his moment of glory, T'uune lashed out with the Force, throwing the Sith across the chamber. The other Dark Jedi studied T'uune for a moment. His eyes glared into T'uune's. T'uune could feel the Sith pulling his power from anger that resided within him. T'uune began to remember fighting his former master after he had fallen to the darkside. His master also drew his strength from anger that was within him.

The thoughts of his former master rekindled the hatred that lied within him, and the darkside began to flow within him once again. His eyes began to glow like fire once again as the hatred began to manifest itself. But this time, T'uune had no reason to suppress these feelings of hatred, and he began to revel in its power.

Meanwhile, La'ola recognized the hatred that was now surfacing within T'uune and decided to prevent him from trying to use it. She remembered the last time that had happened, no matter how many times she tried to forget. With the Sith facing T'uune, she very quickly unsheathed her katana and slashed the blade across the Sith's neck. The Sith collapsed on the ground, and its head rolled away from the body. La'ola quickly resheathed the katana and turned to face the other Sith, who was having a difficult time recovering from T'uune's strike.

Watching the Sith die did not ebb the growing tide of T'uune's hatred, however. Instead, it reminded him of a recurring thought of what he wanted to do with his former master. Looking over at the other Sith, T'uune began to see him as his old master, reincarnate. He calmly walked over to the Sith, and felt inside the Sith's body with the Force. Grabbing his lungs, T'uune picked the Sith off the ground with the Force. With one quick thought, T'uune completely crushed the Sith's chest with a sickening *crunch* as the ribcage forcefully collapsed.

The Sith then collapsed on the ground, struggling and gasping for air. T'uune knelt down next to the Sith and smiled sinisterly. He stopped smiling then got up and looked at Trent, La'ola, and Mark. The hatred was still there, evident in his flaming eyes. The darkside was beckoning for him, and T'uune was about to answer.

while he was stunned, Mark watched as he managed to fight back his own anger. He saw the anger surface and felt that this is what could happen to him if he alloud the dark taint to take control. He saw the anger and hate begin to take control of T'uune. However mark still not the light in him but how could he strengthen that. He turned and saw the ghost of trent fight the strange beast he only heard of in legends. Suddenly the terentek just walked through the ghost due to its immunity to the effects of the force and pounced on to T'uune. More sith ran in to the room with lightsaber and blasters then Mark Noticed the similarity between this scene and the vision he had outside the tomb. while the t'uune was on the floor after the terentek attack it turned and dived on one of the sith troops.

Sith troop- "Don't please don't!"

These words were in the vision he shared with another. One of the sith knights moved over to the still stuned mark. and looked down at him,

Sith knight- "this is the jedi Mark lightseeker!" : he stood up and raised his lightsaber to strike mark : "now you die mark"

T'uune was knocked backwards, but La'ola quickly ran over to cover him with a hailstorm of her repeating blaster. However, there was hardly any cover at all, and La'ola got hit with a blaster bolt from a Sith trooper.

T'uune watched La'ola get hit, and suddenly, the darkside completely took over. Hatred was now combined with absolute rage. T'uune wasn't pulling from his hatred and anger any longer: he was feeding off of it. Unparalleled strength and power coursed through his entire body. A Dark Jedi was preparing to strike the finishing blow on La'ola, but T'uune merely grabbed the Sith by his heart with the Force and literally crushed it. The Dark Jedi collapsed in extreme pain and slowly died from both internal bleeding and lack of blood flow.

The other Dark Jedi could feel the power collecting in T'uune and turned to face him. T'uune stood up and activated his lightsaber. His entire complextion had darkened, and his eyes continued to glow with the hatred and rage that was controlling him. T'uune leaped at the Dark Jedi. They struck at him, but the dark power that T'uune had enabled him to dodge it. T'uune struck at one Jedi, singing his face with the tip of his lightsaber. In the same motion, he parried a blow from another Jedi and lashed out with the Force which broke several ribs in the Jedi just from the impact. Another Jedi tried to stab at T'uune, but he quickly dodged the attack and slashed upwards with his lightsaber, severing the right arm of the attacking Dark Jedi.

The Jedi with the singed face then lashed out with Force Lightning, catching T'uune off guard. The pain was intense causing T'uune to collapse on the ground. Suddenly, the rage and hatred subsided for some unknown reason. Unheralded peace entered T'uune's mind, and he calmed down. As quickly as the darkside had almost taken T'uune, he had returned to normal. Now able to think rationally, T'uune opened his eyes and overcame his pain from the lightning. T'uune then activated a stasis field around the Dark Jedi, encasing him in the Force. The other Sith in the room watched in almost stunned silence as T'uune stood up to face them.

The vision seemed to becoming more and more true, However Mark remembered what his master once told him how those who can see the future can change it. The dark jedi was still about to stab his stunned paralised body, Unlike other conflicts he has had with dark Jedi he did not thet the dark side take over. Mark used his ability with the force to push the dark jedi in to the wall knocking him unconscious. Then he saw la'ola get shot and t'uune semm too go in same with anger killing one dark jedi and cutting the arm off another before he seemed to have just turned back to the light. However him getting up while almost all the sith stared at him from getting up while being under the influance of force lightning. Then he saw the dark jedi he thought he knocked unconcious go to strike T'uune in the back. Mark called on the force to heal himsrlf and then managed to dive in between the dark jedi and T'uune with his lightsaber stopping the strike.

Mark-Not so fast, didn't your master tell you its wrong to stab someone in the back.

Then mark swung his saber at the siths head beheading him.

Mark- T'uune, are you o.k.

The Sith commander gave the order to open fire once again, and the soldiers filled the air with blaster fire. T'uune, however, used his lightsaber as a shield, deflecting the blaster bolts. T'uune purposely deflected several bolts directly back at the Sith soldiers. T'uune began to slowly move forward, but by the time he arrived at the Sith group, all that was left was the Sith Commander himself. T'uune specificallly left him alone because he recognized the name he saw on his identification tags.

Chief Commander Vern Yaruth. Former head of Telos Security Forces. Wanted dead or alive by the Telos Bereau of Investigation for supplying Admiral Saul Karath with the IFF codes of the Telos Security Forces in order to allow the Sith Fleet to approach and almost completely destroy Telos without any obstructions from security forces.

Thats what the bounty tag had stated and T'uune meant to claim it. As he arrived at Commander Vern, he Force pulled the rifle out of his hand and placed the tip of his lightsaber against the commander's throat.

T'uune- "I'm just fine Mark. Just fine. I think that we'll be getting out of here alive, anyways. These Sith haven't put up too much of a fight."

T'uune then backed off from the Sith and walked over to La'ola, deactivating his lightsaber. The Commander quickly tried to grab a rifle from a fallen soldier, but T'uune simple pulled out his net gun and fired. The net caught the Sith just as he was reaching a rifle. The net swept him off his feet and pinned him against the wall. He tried to struggle his way out of the net, but the sharp edges only dug into his skin.

T'uune- (without turning to face the Sith)"I would highly suggest that you don't struggle: its quite painful to do so since the net will start to automatically tighten if you struggle too much."

T'uune knelt down next to La'ola. She was still breathing, and T'uune could feel the life within her. She was going to be okay. T'uune breathed a sigh of relief as he pulled out a medkit and began to tend to her wounds.

Mark walked up to the net with the sith commander in it. he looked him up and down and looked around to see all the sith bodies. he saw t'uune tending to his wife and then looked back at the commander. mark began to reflext on the events that had happened as he often does after a conflict. a looked of confusion came across his face and whilst still looking at the commander he spoke to T'uune.

Mark- "Hey whatever happened to that terentek?"

Suddenly he heard a grow from directly behind and he thought l"i had to ask." He turned and ignited both end of his lightsaber and faced the creature. The Beast dived at mark, so he bent on one knee and rolled under it. the creature flew over him and mark jumped up and stabbed the beast in the back. the terantek screeched in pain and collapsed. Mark deactivated his lightsaber and turned to T'uune.

Mark- "If La'ola's alright can we get on with what we came to do, load this guy in that cell i saw on your ship and get that drink."

T'uune finished up tending to La'ola, or at least he finished tending to what La'ola would allow him to tend to.

La'ola- (frustrated)"I can do it myself. (T'uune tries to press a compress on the wound) Oh quit it already!! I'll be just fine. Just let me finish up, okay??"

T'uune- (retracts his hand in a mock surrender)"Fine, fine, have it your way. Just trying to help. (looks around the chamber) Hey, what happened to Trent? He's the whole reason why we're here, ya know."
