Lessons learned (semi-open)

[Yurza Magus]

OOC/If you want to join this thread then please pm me before posting. I'm looking for atleast two others to join. Preferably a pair of Jedi, or if someone has a Coruscant detective or something of that nature please pm me. But if you aren't either of those, but still want to join then drop me a line we'll see what we can work.

Drip...drop...drip...drop...drip...drop...

That was the only noise that could be heard inside suite 1423-A. A leaky faucet one might think if they didn't give it a second thought. Prehaps even a tub that a newly wed couple might have forgotten they had started after a rendevous under the covers. A normal person would assume it was one of these things and never even think twice about it. Unfortunately for a Miss Renos Harlot, she didn't get a choice. She was a maid who worked during the afternoon shifts of the Twi'lek's Inn, a high priced place for high priced people. Most of its guests usually came for a once in a life time's opportunity to live the "good life" as they called it. Others, Senators, delegates, even some medical specialists, called it a home away from home. The only thing that Miss Harlot would ever call it again was a slaughter house.

Laying there in front of her was a body, dripping blood onto the floor. What kind was hard to tell because the skin was removed. She let out a blood curling scream. All the neighbors ran to see what was wrong and a good number of them ran back outside into the hall to vomit. Someone had the good sense to call security, but there was little for them to do. Soon the place would be as busy as a deisgner store having a sale. Police and detectives would be all over the place trying to find the man responsible for this. The man who was now enjoying a nice cup of pumpkin spiced stimcafe.

Six hours ago...

Knock. Knock.

"Who is it?" A female's voice asked from behind the suite's door.

"Repair. Heard you got a light out in there," said a male's voice. "I been sent up here to check it out and fix it if need be."

The woman turned her head to the other three people in the room and nodded. That was the code for thier boss. She looked out the camera sitting next to the door and made sure the hall was clear before opening the door.

In stepped a young blonde man. He wore a loose fitting black outfit. In his hand was a carrying case made to look like a tool box. He stepped to the middle of the room and the woman quickly shut the door behind him before she walked around to stand in front of him and offered a slight bow.

He took a quick scan around the room. There were four of them. All seated in a semicirle around him. The first, the woman, wore a tight fitting red dress and looked to be almost as young as he. Next to her sat an older gentleman with a good sized graying beard that complemented his graying head. Next to him sat a yellow skinned Twi'lek who had his head tails decorated with blue and black tattoos. Finally sat a Bothan with ginger colored hair. They all sat there looking as him with uneasy eyes.

"Yurza how ni-," Red started to say.

"Shut up! You all know why I am here so start talking. What happened? What went wrong? I want the story, with details, now so I can hurry and get off this forsaken planet. Everyone else may like it here, but Coruscant stinks."

"Yes sir."

For a moment no one talked. Finally Ginger got the courage to stand up and address the Dark Knight. "Well...you see Yurza, there was a small set back. We didn't expect the Jedi to know about the shipment of spice and..." He stopped when he saw Yurza staring at him. "Y..yes?"

"Do I look dumb to you? Of course you didn't expect the Jedi to be there. I know what happened with the shipment. What I want to know is why? They were tipped off and I want to know who did it."

Yellow jumped up from his seat. "You couldn't possibly believe that one of us would become a..a..snitch, do you? We had just as much to lose as you yourself did Yurza!"

"Really? Maybe if you were like me then you would pay attention to your business associates and know that one of us didn't actually lose anything, but rather gained a lot. I'll give you credit for trying however," he said opening the tool box and throw a few mechanical parts in front of the group. They all looked at him with confused faces. "Those are critical parts from your spying equipment. For the past few months, everythingyou have seen of me is what I wanted you to see. Now however that charade is over. I know you all think you are clever and outwitted me by finding my viewing devices, but I assure you that I had more than what I put there for you to find."

Yellow stood there looking as if he had been physically slapped across the face. It took him a moment before composing himself and stammering out a response. "Bu...but who?"

Now Yurza turned to the only in the room who had not spoke. "Care to explain?"

Gray gave a soft smile and rose slightly to sit on the edge of his chair. "What is there to explain? I learned from the best Yurza. You may care about honor and all the hoaxy religion, but I believe in credits. And that is what I made. How hard can it be to grasp?"

Yurza started forward and began to reach in the toolbox for his lightsaber. Before he could make two steps however, Gray had a blaster trained on him. "I would think twice before I do that. You may be fast, but I doubt you are fast enough to dodge a blaster bolt."

He looked at the man ludicrously. "When I thought you couldn't be any dumber, you have to and go prove me wrong."

He lifted his hand from the box and used the Force to snatch the weapon away from Gray. He threw it against the wall, shattering it. The entire time he kept his eyes on Gray and watched his face go from calm and in control to surprised to frightened.

"Know you are going to repay me for my losses...and help teach the others a lesson to never cross me," he said finally grabbing his lightsaber. He extended his presence in the Force and pushed and held the man against his chair. He walked over to Gray with malice in his eyes and leaned close enough to whisper in the man's ear. "I hope you are a screamer. These rooms are sound proof and I would enjoy this even more knowning what I was doing to you."

He leaned back and ignited one of his lightsaber's ends. A bright blue blade etended from the hilt with a silent snap-hiss. He gently touched the laser to Gray's leg and was rewarded with a howl of pain.

For the next two hours, Yurza kept the other three people watching as he slowly and precisely removed Gray's skin from his body. When he was done he turned to the others and motioned towards the door. "You are free to go, but let this be a warning to you all if you attempt to cross me in the future."

All three jumped from thier seats and ran from the room. Red went to a restroom, loosing her lunch and the two aliens ran outside in the night, calling anyone and everyone to ge a shuttle off planet. Yurza turned back to Gray's body and smiled. It was just like out of a science book, except slightly burned from the lightsaber blade. He quickly packed up his things and left the room. He decided that prehaps Coruscant was well enough afterall. He might even get a drink and see what else this planet would have to offer.

[Rognan Dar]

A scream was heard. Waves of people came. Everthing that had happen was now done, and there was no way of knowing how or why this crime was committed. As the security officers came and secured the area, a call went out for detectives to come. A matter like this was not ment for security, nor was there much, now, in their power to do anything about it. When the detectives got to the scene, they saw that this was not the average murder.

"Look at this guy..." Said a detective to the head of security in the building. "Poor devil didn't even stand a chance. You see these burns?" he went on, "I've only seen burns like these on fellas that were caught in the heat of a fire or from plasma...or from a lightsaber. Ever seen a lightsaber wound? Its so hot that it cuts through many things, and flesh is just like butter to a hot knife. It cuts and seals. Here, though, it looks like someone with a great deal of patience, not to mention a sick mind, burned the flesh right off of this...creature...while he was still alive."

The officer stood up from looking at the corpse and turned to the security officer. "Get me a comm to that Jedi Order. This might be something they will want to look into..."

The man took one last look at the body before nodding his head and leaving the room to get a hold of the Jedi. It did not take him long to get a hold of them and a Jedi was dispatched right away at the news of it being a possible Force user. Sith, that name did not really have the meaning it once did. Many Jedi and Sith alike have fallen away from their teachers and have gone out on their own to make trouble where ever they wanted. Even Jedi that have left were not helping as much as being the problem as well.

In less then a half hour, a Jedi made his way down the halls of the Inn, pass security, and lead to the room that has now been blocked off from all personel except the inverstigators and detectives.

"Ahh, good to see that the Jedi could spare us a visit." Said the officer as Rognan Dar entered the room. "I'm detective Denfir." Rognan bowed his greetings but the officer went right to business.

"This is what we called you for," pointed Denfir to the body on the ground. It was not Rognan's first time to see a dead body, but it was the first time to see one that had all its skin burned off. "I'll save you having to make the obvious statments. This was done, by the looks of it, by a lightsaber or something close to it. Nothing else could have been able to do such a good job so quickly. Time of death is uncertain; rounded off to a few hours. The lab is working on it."

Rognan ventured in for a closer look, even though he wanted to be moving farther away from the burnt flesh and the smell that was rising from the body.

"I'm going to have to agree with you Detective. But I dont see how calling me here is going to help you when you seem to know far more then I do."

"I didn't call you here for your great talent in finding things out. Thats my job. No, I called you here because if it is a fallen Jedi, then I dont want my men indangered if he tries to get us. Your here to stop him, once we find him."

"Very well. I will help, but I am not going to sit on the side lines untill you think you need me. Alright?"

"Lets just get one thing strait: I am in charge of this investigation. As long as you obey by my rules, you can go sleep with the maid afterwards for all I care."

Rognan nodded and went about the room, looking around and not wanting to get on Denfir's bad side. Rog was not about to let this man tackle this alone. For if it was a Sith, then whoever did killed this man would be able to take down many more people before giving up or being killed. And that was something he could not let happen.

"So whats this then?"

"What, are you dumb? Can you not see that it is a blaster that has been smashed to bits? Jedi..." The last word was almost spoken in the way of a curse, but just short of it. Clearly he did not like Jedi. Most people did not. Not when it got in the way of thier jobs or having themselves look bad.

Kneeling down to look at the parts, Rognan could see that it was the remains of a blaster. Looking up to the wall, there was a dent in it from the impact of it being thrown there. "Looks like there was a fight..."

"No there wasn't. No other victims, no other bodies, and no blaster marks anywhere. What are you getting at Jedi?"

"That, if there was no fight, then I can only think that this... man... either threatened our killer or was a target. Maybe he pulled the gun but didn't have the chance to use it before it was thrown across the room."

"But how could someone knock a blaster away from someone like that without him firing even one shot?"

"Because it was a Sith. There is no other way that someone would have been able to get the drop on someone with a blaster pointed at them. And look at this room. Its been set up for more then two to sit. Looks like there was a gathering of some kind and that the meeting went badly." Rognan stood up and walked around the room again.

This made the detective pause for a minute as he also tried to figure out what went wrong and why there might have been a meeting.

[Yurza Magus]

"Yeah well, whoever it was is nuts. I've seen things that Sith do to people, but this...whatever or whoever did this isn't human," the detective replied. He went and looked around for a few more seconds. He then put in a call to the station asking them to see if there had ever been a report of this type of thing before and if there had then he wanted names.

Denfir walked back over to the Jedi and rubbed the sweat from his forehead. "Look I don't particularly care for Jedi, but isn't there something you could do? I thought y'all was supposed to be psychic or something? I got my men looking up the files for other cases of this stuff, but so for we don't have anything going on."


Meanwhile...

Yurza smiled as he finished his stimcafe. He looked at his watch and thought for a second. He still had a few hours before his shuttle left. What to do until then was his problem. He flipped a single cred-chip on the table and stood up to leave. He walked down the strip until he came to a small shopping center. Most of the shops were selling clothes, but a few sold other various items such as computer equipment and such. He also noticed there were a few small toy shops in there.

Hmm...I did forget Aliandra's birthday last month. Maybe a little toy would make up for it, the man thought as he changed his direction for the nearest toy shop. As soon as he walked in there his entire attitude changed. The room was filled with toys or all different shapes and sizes. What the? What am I supposed to get her in here? Ughh...how does Dalethria shop for the child?


Back at the scene...

Before Rognan was given the chance to respond to the question from Denfir, the detective's comm started to beep.

"Denfir here."

"Sir, this is Johnson from the station. We looked into the records and it appears that there was a case of this before. A Sith known as Sorsha Kasajian. There isn't much details, but from what the report said that that was a much worse scene. Instead of just one person it was a group and sir..."

"What is it Johnson?"

"...they were children sir. She skinned children alive..."

A look of horror came over the detectives face and his color drained. His hands trembled as he brought the small device back up to his lips. "Go...good job Johnson. K...keep looking."

He closed his comm and looked back at the Jedi Knight. "Did you catch that? I don't care who you are, but we have got to find this...this monster now."

[Kyle Krogen]

When the call was send to the Jedi temple and when Jedi Knight Rognan Dar had left the Temple a shadow had fallowed him. The person shadowing him was none other then Jedi Padawan Kyle Krogen. He had heard the call and was greatly interested. He had followed Rognan from the Temple all the way to the hotel.

With a blaster pistol at his side and his lightsabre dangling from his belt Kyle entered the hotel, walking past any security who at the sight of his brown robes identified him as a jedi and didn't stop him. He soon reached the floor that the murder had happened on. He stood behind the detective while he and Rognan spoke and he watched Rognan as he moved around the room, pointing out things.

He stepped out from behind the detective just as he finished talking about the child murderer "Another Jedi" He said with a suprised voice "We already have one" his voice now almost angry.

Kyle turned to the detective "If one is good then wouldn't two be better?" He asked before turning back to view the room. The detective stepped back and grumbled something quietly.

Kyle knelt down by the burnt body with is breath held. He examined it closely. It did indeed look like it had been done with a lightsabre or something similar.

He stepped back from the body and started breathing again. He noticed that there where four chairs sitting in the middle of the room "Looks like there most have been four of them. Which means there most be three more people."

He turned and walked over to the broken blaster by the wall. He bent down to examine to parts. He could tell it was a blaster "It would take a great amount of force to cause a blaster to shatter like this" He said to anyone who was listening "If we are truely dealing with a sith or dark jedi then I'd assume that it was done with the force...But a strong person might have smashed it."

He stood up and turned to Rognan "What do you make of all this?"

[Naysheta]

"Hold it right there Nathan...Nathan!!" A young woman yelled out.

"What? I didn't do it?" The small seven year old said with a big grin on his face.

Naysheta walked over to the mess that her smaller brother had made and began picking it up. "Look...birthday or not, you keep misbehaving and I will take you home and tell mom and dad. Is that understood?"

"Alright..." The boy said with a down trodden face. "I never get to have any fun."

He started walk away and then his eyes lit up as he spied a rack of ball. He looked back over a Naysheta to make sure she wasn't watching and then he made a mad dash over to the rack. As the girl finished cleaning and looked around for her brother she heard a loud BANG! She sighed as she rose to her feet and went over to the child's latest mess. She may have loved the boy and adored him more than anything in the world, but there were times when he could also be the biggest pain in the galaxy.

On the way over to him, she bumped into a blonde haired man and quickly turned to apologize before going over to start cleaning up Nathan's new disaster.

[Rognan Dar]

"It is clear that it was Sith. But I dont think it would have been this Sorsha. If she did children, then busting into a meeting and killing one person doesn't add together. It must be someone different. Maybe even someone that knew her. But we have no links between Sith. There is no way we could tell who it would be.

You are right detective. This 'monster' needs to be stopped before he can kill again. You should send some men to the closest space port to keep a eye out. This person might be trying to leave before we can find him."

If Rog was right about him wanting to leave, then this, for want of a better word, man or woman could be off world already. But there was a slight chance that he might not be in a big hurry to get off and that they might get a visual on someone. Visual...

"Is there any camera's in this place?" Rognan said as he started to go to the doors to look for himself. Anyone that wanted to know could see it for themselves. The halls were monitered by small cams that would be easy to over look. But they were not ment to be unseen. There was one at each end of this hall and most likely at every hall. But the cams might not have got a good shot at the face of the killer. The gap between the two camera's in this hall were enough that he if had his head facing a different way, could have gotten through. But could he avoid all of them?

"Denfir, would you be so kind as to lead me to the security cam station? Care to tag along Kyle?"

[Yurza Magus]

"Sure I can get you there. Follow me," the detective said as he walked away from the room and to the turbo lift. He waited for the Jedi and then went down to the first floor. He look a left as they exited the lift and went to a small door marked Employees Only. "Here they are."

He knocked on the door and two uniformed officers opened up. "Alright these are the Jedi helping us with that murder up on the twenty second floor. I want you to give them all the help you can," he said before turning to the Jedi. "I'll leave you hear and then just go and put in the measures with the space ports. If you need me just tell these guys and they will get in touch with me."


At the store...

The girl bumped into him and he turned ready to tell her she should be watching where she was going when he saw she was with a small child. "Excuse me...I was wondering if you could help me. I'm looking for a toy for a friend's daughter and I have no idea what to get her."

[Naysheta]

"Hmm? Oh sure...just let me clean this up," she said walking a few steps over to the mess and started cleaning it up. "Boy or girl?"

When the man didn't answer she looked over and saw the look of confusion on his face. "If the child a boy or girl? Ohh, and what are her hobbies?"

[Kyle Krogen]

"Sure" Kyle said before walking along behind the two older men. They walked in silence until they reached the Security room. Kyle looked around the room at all the hi-tech equipment for a moment before turning to the security men "We need all the footage from every camera on the floor of the murder within the last few hours" He said and the guys quickly went to work gathering the vid clips he requested.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan followed the detective all the way to the cam room. When Denfir said that he was going to arrange a few things, Rog bowed and thanked him before stepping into the room. The room looked like most standard security rooms where there was a small opening that went into a bigger room where many screens showed many different hallways and entery ways and anywhere else they put a camera. The images changed back and forth between two or three images, returning back to the first to start all over again. There were two men sitting, watching the monitors, and a third standing behind them, looking like a supervisuor.

As Kyle asked the men what they needed, Rog looked at the screens and saw the one that looked at the hall were two men were standing watch.

"There," Rognan said, pointing to the screen. "Go from that camera and go backwards until the last person that entered and left that room."

Rognan watched as the scene as it went backwards in time to after security came. The man paused it as the maid entered the room. He looked to Rognan for intructions. With a motion of his hand, the officer continued going backwards. There was a long but of nothing that happened, not for a good many hours. Just other people walking by, going about their own business. Then there was a man, and then a few other people that left the room. "Ok, stop. Thats our man. Go to when he first came into the room." Without hesitation it went back. "Now play it through." They watched for a while as nothing seemed to happen. To bad there was no sound pickups on these things, ROg thought.

After a while the man then left, having dropped whatever it was that he brought in. He was in there for a long time. Much longer then it would have taken to just kill someone. So there was a meeting. And it was four others, at lest, that were there. The three other members that left were in a hurry, but they were not as important to him as was the last man.

"Give me a close up shot on him, from any and all possible angels. And then check the entrance cam and see what direction he left in. Oh, and try and get a ID on those other three. They may have a hand in all this."

[Yurza Magus]

"Well...she is a she...and hobbies...umm...I'm not sure. She does like to play and play jokes...but...she's about this big," he said holding his hands up showing the size of a small child or maybe three or four. "That's really all I know.


Hotel...

The gaurds nodded when the Jedi asked for the ID's of the other people. They were easy to get a clear look at and run their faces through an ID scan, the other though was harder to do.

One of the gaurds turned around and handed a printed copy of the three's ID's. "Here you go Master Jedi. The Twi'lek is a small time arms dealer. His name is Bid Narda. He has three warrents out on him for smuggling. The woman was Victoria Newra...and oddly there isn't anything on her. She seems to be the model citizen. Lives in the upper class of Coruscant and that is about it. The most she has ever had was a traffic violation a few years ago...and oddly the same is said about the Bothan," he said looking back up at the Jedi. "I don't see how these people could be connected to that monster. I mean the arms dealer maybe, but he seems to small time for this kind of action."

[Naysheta]

She laughed at the guy as she stood up. "Here follow me. I know exactly what you need."

She took Yurza down a few aisles and finally ended in a pile of stuffed animals. "Here one of these should be perfect for the kind of girl you are talking about."

[Yurza Magus]

"Umm...thanks," Yurza said as he looked at the toys. "But what is the purpose of these?"

[Naysheta]

She could help but laugh. "What do you mean what are thier purpose? They're toys. They are supposed to be fun for small children...you know...have fun?"

She saw a look of bewilderment on his face. "I take it you don't have children...so what did you do for fun as a child?"

[Yurza Magus]

"Me? I lived on a jungle planet. Fun was learning how to survive and running through the trees," he said as he looked at the toys. "Which one do I get her?"

Hotel...

"Hey we've got him!" One of the guards exclaimed. They had spent almost an hour trying to catch the guys face and they finally had enough to run it through the system and see what came up.

"Ok...let's see whatcha ya got," Denfir said as he came walking back over.

"Well, it isn't the greatest, but I think I can get a response," one of them said as he put it in. They waited for a few nerve wretching moments and finally it finished and sent back a name.

"ok, let's see who we got here. The gaurds and detectie leaned in a looked and when they looked back there faces were even paler. Seeing the confusion on the Jedi's face Denfir moved and allowed them to see what it had returned.

Facial scan complete
Result: No match found
Closest Match: Shade Magus 71.298% Match
Last known location fo Match: Greater Jedi Order

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle looked at the results "That can't be good. If we can't match the guy then all we know is what he looks like..." He paused "And he looks like Shade Magus" Kyle said as he scratched the back fo his neck "Its seems that all we can do now is send out everyone we can and try and find him..."

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan passed back and forth in the room, reading the reports on the three known people to enter and exit that room. None of it came to any connection. Not with these three. They were so far from appart that it might have made sense, but it did not. Who was the last man, though? He had not got anything back on him. Even the cams didn't get him because most of them were to his back as he entered. Was there even a chance to ID him?

"Can you run up a search for these three? At lest the two that we know we can find easyer? I dont think Bid Narda is going to stick around for long or in one place."

After several more minutes went by before anything else popped up. ROgnan turned to the excited officer as he said that he identified the man. They all waited as the write-up on the results came. The detective got it first and looked at it. Rognan could see, even without the lose of color from Denfir's face, that something was wrong. Right when something positive comes up, it goes strait down hill. Taking the result, Rognan scanned it quickly.

"There must be a mistake. Are you sure this is the right results?" He said looking to the officer for any hint of doubt. The man only nodded his head to Rog's question.

Kyle was right, the only thing they had to go on was to find Shade. Shade would never do something like this, though. It can't be him, it didn't add up. He saw Shade quite a lot of times, and they were good friends. Rognan couldn't believe this; didn't believe this. It had to be wrong. Computers were not always accurate. Even they can make mistakes.

"71% Thats not enough for me to except that match. There is to much room for error. It could be someone possing as Shade. With surgery, you can make yourself look like just about anyone."

[Yurza Magus]

Denfir shook his head. "I don't care if it is right right now. We'll keep running it, but we want him in custody now. Call your Jedi and have him brought in. I don't care what it takes. If he is innocent then he should come willingly and won't have anything to be afraid of then should he?"


OOC/ Just for refrence and to make it more interesting say Shade wasn't there and they couldn't get a hold of him.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan agreed, but still didn't like it. He went off into a corner of the room and pulled out his comm and keyed up the Jedi Order. It took him a while to get the right connections and even then he didn't get what he wanted. It appeared that Shade was not in-touch with the Jedi at the moment. But that did not mean that he was behind this. It just ment that he was not at the Order right now. Most likely off on some mission, that he was always on.

Returning back to the group, Rognan told them the news of how he tried to get Shade.

"He is just away from the Order and most likely off planet. But that has been for some time, so I'm told. So this can't be him. I informed the Order to conntact me once they do get a hold of Shade, though.

So, if I am correct on it not being him, then we are right back at square one: Not knowing who did this. Is there any way that we can follow his movements through the city? Is there any cams placed throughout the city?"

[Yurza Magus]

"Well of course, but how do you expect to search for him? There are to many to try and look in all of them," the decetive replied.

[Rognan Dar]

"Well, if we find a direction that he is going then we search that way. Then, if he takes a different street we then find the next best angel. Otherwise, I dont have any other ideas at the moment to find him."

[Yurza Magus]

Denfir rubbed his chin as he thought about it. "It's a long shot, but what else can we do? If you want to check out the other three then be my guest, but it will take a few hours to track him and I'll call you on the comm."


OOC/ umm you can do what you want and Denfir will call you in my next thread, but if you track down one or all three of the other people you'll find the two upperclass ones together in a small apartment and the arms dealer will be in a small tavern called the Dancing Rancor

[Rognan Dar]

"Alright. Make sure that you send a picture of this killer to all the space ports. Now that we know what he looks like, we can keep him on planet 'til we find him."

[Yurza Magus]

About four hours later the feed came in and Danfir picked up his comm and called the Jedi from the unit headquaters. "Alright I think we got him, but it is up to you if you want to try and go on this wild goose chase."

[Rognan Dar]

"What else do we have to go on? The other three would be even more so, because I know they are not going to say anything about it. And those are not the real threat at the moment. I'm sure you can take care of them afterwards. No, right now we need to nail this guy and stop him from killing anyone else. So where is he?"

[Yurza Magus]

Denfir looked at the tapes and watched the the man disappear in a shopping center and sighed bringing the comm back to his mouth. "We lost him in a shopping center in the Northern part of the city. He doesn't appear to have come out yet, but we're not sure. If you want to check it out it is only about six blocks from the murder scene."

[Rognan Dar]

"Very well. Position two men at every entrence and exit and give them my comm. Tell them to keep a eye out but to not confront the criminal unless he is threatening someone and they know that they can take him. I dont want anyone else hurt. If they see him leave have them comm me or Kyle and inform us of his position. Understood?"

Rognan didn't wait for a answer. He was already picking up his robe, which he had taken off during the long search, and put it on as he reached for the door.

"Come on Kyle. Really going to need your help on this. This guy could be anyone so stay alert. Even if it is Shade, for some reason that I cannot fathom, we still need to stop him. Follow my lead. He is in a shopping area so there are going to be other people. The last thing we need is for him to start killing others. Lets try to get him outside, but if not...well...use your imagination."

Rognan said this as they made their way to the mall. He did not run, for that might alert others which could then lead to a panic. If they just went about this slowly and calmly, hopefully no one would get hurt.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle walked a few yards behind Rognan and off to his left. the sight of two jedi walking side by side by alert other people that something was wrong. They soon arrived at the shopping area. They looked around and realized it would take forever to check every shop and store "I think we should check with security here. They might be able to help quicken this search."

He looked around until he noticed a security guard standing a ways off from them "You there" He said as he strolled over to the man "We need to speak with who ever is incharge of security here."

The guard noticed their jedi robes "Yes, right away" He said as he pulled out a comm unit and made a call. "He will be here in a moment" The guard said after ending his call.

In a few moments a man in a similar unifrom as the first security guard came walking up to the Jedi. "I am Mark La'crest and I'm in charge of security at this shopping center. What can I do for you?"

"There has been a recent murder at a nearby hotel and the killer was last seen entering this shopping center and we believe he is still in here. We need to use your security cameras to check through the shopping center in order to get this guy."

"If you tell us what this guy looks like we can bring him down ourselves" La'Crest said to the two Jedi.

Kyle shook his head "No, The man is a force user and I don't believe you and your men could take him down without taking heavy casualties and endangering shoppers. It would be easier if we handled this. We already have corascant security positioned at every exit incase the killer flees the building. So, if you could please show us to your control center so that we could use the cameras to check every shop for the killer"

La'Crest nodded his head "Very well. This way" He lead them to a locked door, which he unlocked, and they walked inside. The room looked very much like the security center at the hotel, only smaller. "These Jedi need access to every camera feed" He said to the two men sitting infront of wall of screens that showed the camera's views.

[Rognan Dar]

"Thank you Mark. Gentlemen, we need all camera's from at lest thirty minutes ago. Put it into five minute sections and repeat it once after the first time. Also put it into double speed. Here," Rog said as he pulled his datapad out. "This is the man we are looking for. Me and Kyle will take the left side of the cams, you all take the rest."

On the datapad was the info he had gotten from Denfir. He handed it over so that they could refresh their memory whenever they wanted. Now the fun part started. It would take them Thirty minutes, still. to watch all that Rog had asked for. By then the guy could have left. But if he did, then their search would be over, thanks to the men outside. And that would be best for all. That way no one else would be in direct danger.

After a slow, yet fast, thirteen minutes the search was over.

"Er...is this the guy your looking for?" Said one of the other men, who also paused all the feeds. Move closer, Rognan inspected the man that the officer indicated was the one. He went on for a moment, then backwards, trying to get better angels of it all. The shot was of murderers back, leaving even and zoom options out the door.

"Follow it through, see where he goes. And put it on the large screen."

The officer obeyed and put the single feed on the main, middle screen so that it was enlarged. Speeding it up, it was quickly ended, after jumping from cam to cam, to where he entered a shop and disapeared. "He entered a shop on the east side of the building. Looks to be a toy store of some kind."

"Right. We will see if he is still there. Watch all the feed you have 'til you get to live, then watch and comm us if you see him leave."

After taking back his datapad, Rognan and Kyle ran out the door. Once outside, they walked briskly, not wanting to cause any alarm.

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza shook his head as the girl continued to speak to him about toys. He had no idea there were so many, but she was obviously an aexpert on them. She had suggested a purple pony-like creature.

"Well then this ought to plea..."

The Dark Jedi paused as he sensed something through the Force. Another presence, no two. But neither had malice intentions so he dismissed them. He couldn't be jumpy around Jedi on a planet full of Jedi.

[Naysheta]

She saw a momentary look of distraction come over the name's face. She glanced around, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. "You alright mister?"

[Yurza Magus]

"No nothing important. Just thought I uhh...saw someone. Anyways, you were saying something about toys?" He asked as he returned partial attention to the girl. The rest of his attention was spent reaching out with the Force to keep track of teh two Jedi.

[Kyle Krogen]

The two jedi sooned reached the toy shop "Now what do we do?" Kyle asked "We could just go in there and get him or wait here for him to come out? Either way put the people here in danger"

He turned and looked into the toy store. He couldn't see the murderer. which ment he must be deeper inside the store. Kyle slowly slipped his hand under his robe and placed his hand on his lightsabre "I guess all we can do in charge right in there."

[Rognan Dar]

"Charge? No. First we see if he is willing to come with us, after finding out if it is Shade or not. Tell the people, calmly, as you go in to leave the store. They wont ask questions, I hope, after seeing you. I'll do the same. You'll go right and I'll go left, and we'll meet in the middle, where the murderer is. Alright?"

Rognan also unclipped his lightsaber. This was not going to be easy. Once people start seeing whats going on they'll all start to leave in a panic. But he went off anyway, looking all over and telling those he met to leave the shop. As he thought, after seeing who he was and what might be going on they left right away. But as he continued in, there were still quite a few people inside and only so much room for the Shade-wanna-be.

After this thought, he saw him. The man that looked like Shade was standing next to a female and what looked to be her little brother. This was not good. Reason being, they were talking to eachother. Next victum, perhaps? Not a chance. Rog looked across the way and saw Kyle coming up on the other side. He could see that the man seemed to be searching for something. Not in the store, but around, through the Force. He knew they were there. Walking up slowly, Rog stood a two yards from him, waiting for Kyle to do the same. If they attacked right out, someone could get hurt. Maybe he will notice them and come away from the children. That was just his hope, which was a very faint thing from happening.

[Naysheta]

She saw the Jedi coming up behind the man and looked confused. "I think we should be leaving. Seems like there is some trouble brewing."

Nay turned to her brother and held out her hand. "Come on Nathan we're going now."

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza smiled as he opened himself up to the Force. He planted a message in the two Jedi.

I'd stay there if I were you. Wouldn't want anything happening to anyone here would we?

He wasn't all that sure they were even after him, but ifb they hadn't been, they would be now.

I'm just here to pick something up and then be on my way.

"Don't worry about them. I don't think we'll be in their way."

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle moved around the opposit side of the store then Rognan, telling people to leave quietly as he went. Soon both the Jedi where standing on either side of Yurza. A telepathic message entered Kyle's mind. He heard the man's words and knew without a doubt that he was the one behind this.

"You" Kyle said as he raised his left hand, his right hand still resting on his lightsabre, and pointed it at the man "With the power vested in me as a jedi, I place you under arrest for murder."

[Rognan Dar]

As Rognan had feared, someone was going to get hurt in this; one way or another. Inside of him he yelled at the two children to start running away. They hesitated, thinking that Yurza was correct in the matter, yet not trusting him fully.

Rognan was about to say something when Kyle did. That was it. The man would have nothing to do but to be taken away or to make a fighting stand. And if he chose to fight, he would, like most wicked men, take a hostige and make his escape. With a quick idea, he stretched out both his hands toward the children and lifted them into the air, starting to move them away as fast as he could. It was not as fast as he originally thought, and he looked to Kyle pleadingly for him to do something about the murderer.

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza turned around quickly and brought up the small purple pony and held it by the neck. A normal person might think that he was crazy for doing such a thing, but the two Jedi in front of him wouldn't see a pony. They would only see a small child.

"I suggest you stay back or the man will not have been the only dead body you see tonight."

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle looked at the child in the man's arms. Where did that kid come frmo He thought as he turned his head to the side to look at the girl and her brother and then back at Yurza "There wasn't anyone else there!" He shouted "Bloody mind tricks" He pulled his sabre off his belt and ingnited it "Get on the ground with your hands on your head, now."

[Rognan Dar]

Kyle was right. Had to be right. There was no other child there, not that he saw from his angle. With both the Jedi off to the sides, it would have been hard to hide a child there. Not to mention that the boy didn't seem all that troubled. With a quick check through the Force, Rognan was sure that there was nothing, not in the sense of a child.

But what if we are wrong? This though went through his mind and the thought of having a small kid die because of this man, and because of them not doing the right thing to protect him made his stomach churn. Setting his mind strait, he continued to move the other two, for that was all he could do at the moment.

[Yurza Magus]

"Well...I was going to try and be nice about this, but I guess I won't get a chance to will I?" He asked saracstically as he stood up straight and dropped the toy to the ground.

"Guess we'll just have to do this the hard way won't we?" He said, smiling as he lowered himself in a defensive position. He hadn't ignited his lightsaber yet, but it was under his robe if it was needed.

[Naysheta]

The two Jedi might not have thought that the toy was a child, but Nay did until Yurza had dropped it to the floor and lifted the illusion. "What...what are you? What is going on here?"

She took a step towards the three, totally oblivious to what was really going on.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle took a few steps forward with his lightsabre held intfront of him "How are we going to get this guy? We can't just slap a pair of stunf cuffs, if we had any, on him and I doubt he'll just home with us if we don't. What should we do? Came Kyle's voice in Rognan's head.

Kyle held his sabre at ready just incase the man tried anything and awaited Rognan's responce.

[Rognan Dar]

Rog put the children down and drew his lightsaber, just to see the girl start to walk forward in a shocked state. She was going right into the middle of the three of them, but stopped just short. Maybe no one else will notice.

"We dont have to do this hard. We can go about this nice and easy and just walk out of here to settle a small problem. Some people think you to be Shade Magnus," Rognan said. This was only a half truth. "But I can see now that you may not be him. If you could just come with us we can solve this matter and be on our way."

[Yurza Magus]

Shade? They thought I was Shade? Oh how delightful. I hope this atleast caused him some discomfort, Yurza thought before answering Rognan request. "I'm afraid that can't be helped. You see I'm in a bit of a rush and I think I should be taking my leave shortly."

The Dark Jedi reached into his cloak and wrapped his fingers around his lightsaber hilt, but didn't bring it out. As he did this though, he stretched out with the Force and felt the two Jedi through it and would know the instance one of them tried anything. When he reached out farther though, he felt something else. His eyes darted to the girl that had wondered between them. He had decided to leave her be, but now he felt something that might change all that. He could feel her through the Force. Not like any other person, but strongly. She was Force sensitive and didn't know it.

Maybe with the right push she could be a valueable asset to me, he thought. "You are quite right about not knowing what is going on around here. These Jedi are just trying to bother us peaceful shoppers," Yurza said louder than before. He added just enough suggestion through the Force that one or two people stopped rushing to get out and actually turned to look at the Jedi with something akin to contempt in thier eyes.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle hated just standing there and waiting for something bad to happen. This man was clearly the murderer and no matter what he said would kyle think otherwise. Kyle launched forward and thrusted his sabre toward Yurza and used the force to throw a nearby box at Yurza's back. The box would reach Yurza before Kyle's sabre did and he hoped the Darksider would sence the incomming object and be distracted enough for Kyle's attack to get through.

[Rognan Dar]

And so it started. Kyle, not being able to contain himself, jumped at the Shade-look-alike, ready to take the peaceful conversation to a more physical one. There was no way to stop what was already set into motion. All he could do was help Kyle and pray that the man was not as good a fighter as he was a skin shaver.

When Kyle attacked, Rognan quickly took his lightsaber and turned it on. It snapped on and the blue light that came out glowed upon his face. The shoppers, suddenly seeing what was happening, started to make for the quickest way out. Rognan advanced and was ready to attack or defend, whatever was needed to end this quickly.

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza felt the box coming from behind him and rather than try and deal with it seperately, he would deal with them together. Simply stepping to the side, he watched as Kyle's lightsaber went right by him and stab into the box.

The Dark Jedi reached out to the Force and used it to increase his speed slightly so that when he moved he was able to call his lightsaber to his hand and activate it and move in between the two Jedi within the blink of an eye. Nothing to outstanding for the distance covered, but enough to give the people still watching enough encentive to run.

"Tsk, tsk...much anger I sense in you," he said with a smile as he mimiced the lost Jedi Master. He brought his lightsaber up horizontally in front of him and watched as the two blades cast a soft red glow. "And much ignorance..."

Yurza stepped to his left and brought the blade opposite of Rognan around in a downward slash as he kicked out his right foot and kicked a small toy at Kyle to distract him momentarily.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan watched as the events started to play out. Kyle was to eager to attack, causing his actions to be easily evoided. He needed to clear his thoughts from his own desires and focus on the task at hand. But then again, so much Rognan. For now the enemy moved inbetween himself and Kyle. This would have been a very bad move...if it were not for the two sided lightsaber. This was going to be harder then thought.

Having been watching the man for the whole time, his first attack was easy to see coming. With a simple step to the side, and swing of his lightsaber, he batted the blade away. Keeping his movement going, he turned with the direction of his lightsaber, and came around in a spin with his lightsaber now angled to slice the man in half.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle brought his sabre around and sliced the toy in half and let its charred body fall to the ground. He moved forward, carefuly watching the lightsabre beam pointed in his direction. He saw Rogan move in to attack and he droped low to the ground and slashed at Yurza's feet above the ankles.

[Yurza Magus]

OOC: Rognan I wasn't sure which way you were cutting so I wrote it from top to bottom, if I am wrong just let me know and I'll edit. And if you get confused by this post, it is something Darth Maul does in the early stages of the duel with him and Jedi.
IC/

Yurza brought his right foot down and kicked back off the ground, but this time he jumped in the air and spun horizontally to the left. When he landed he swung his lightsaber around and used his free hand to Force push one of the selves behind him down. He slowly backed up on them and kept his weapon at a mid gaurd.

"Come on...what did I ever do to you?"

[Naysheta]

Naysheta jumped out of the way of the falling shelf and into a wall. It knocked her out momentarily, but when she came to she began to look around frantically. She had lost her little brother and couldn't find him anywhere.

"Nathan! Nathan where are you?"

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle moved forward, careful to avoid the twin beams of Yurza's lightsabre. He jumped up onto the fallen selve and faked a left to right slash and quickly brought his sabre around for a right to left slash horizontal slash at chest height.

He payed no attention to the girl and her cries for her brother.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan swung his saber around after it missed and held it infront of him. He had never fought someone using a lightsaber of this style. He would have thought that it would make it far harder to fight anyone when you had to worry if you were about to slice yourself in half.

Stepping forward after Kyle, he heard a cry. He looked briefly at the girl that had been with the man right before they started fighting. He must have just ran out, to get away, Rognan reasoned with himself. He then turned his attention back to the fight.

"Tecnically, you never did anything to us. But that is not the issue. You know very well what it is, since you are fighting to keep yourself from the fate that is to come from your actions."

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza brought down one side of his lightsaber and then the other. If he had not had the double sided weapon the Jedi's blade would have sliced right through him. "Well you're a quick one aren't you?"

He pushed the weapons away from his body and twisted his body and brought his left foot up in a round house kick. It wasn't meant to connect, just put the distance between the two. He stopped his spin and held his lightsaber out in front of him.

"Maybe I'm just fighting to defend myself. You are the ones afterall that started this. I was just here shopping for a friend," Yurza said. He sent a wave through the Force to add some extra influence through the Force. If he kept up with a fight he probably wouldn't be walking away from it. He would have to rely on his strengths as a mentalist and hope he was strong enough to influence atleast one of them.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle felt the man's words entering his head. He had little training in force mind tricks, attack and defence. He knew he had to finish this fight before things got out of hand. He charged forward. He hopped into the air and brought his sabre up like he was going to attack from above... but instead he quickly dropped to the ground and slices horizontaly above the knee.

[Rognan Dar]

Words would do the man no good. Even if he spent the time to talk with him more, it wouldn't change what needed to be done. And at the moment...there was only one option to choose.

After Kyle flipped through the air, and before he landed, Rognan stepped forward, doing his best not to trip over the shelves and toys, and brought his lightsaber around to his left side and brought it up in a diagnol cut.

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza ducked as her twisted and let Rognan's blade pass over his head and he brought his own weapon up to stand perfectly perpindicular to the ground. Both Rognan's and Kyle's weapons hit his red blades at the same time and smiled as he looked to the two. The only bad thing about this was that it put the Jedi Knight's right in front of his face, but he didn't plan on leaving it there.

Yurza put his right hand on his lightsaber hilt and let go with his left hand and spun the blade around so that is would push the weapons back. He only had time to attack one, so he decided to try and disposed of the smallest one first. He brought his weapon around and thrust one end behind him at Kyle while trying to keep an eye on Rognan incase he tried to attack again.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle saw the approaching blade and backflipped away from danger. He landed on a pile of toys and lost his balance and fell to the ground, his lightsabr burning through a fluffy teddy bear that had managed to get in it's way as he fell. He looked up at the darksider and outstretched his free hand.

He threw a push at the man's back, and when the man started to stagged forward a bit, Kyle used the force to grab his foot and pull it backward and out from under him.

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza tossed his lightsaber to the side so as not to burn himself. He landed in a push up positions. He diverted his attention back to Kyle and gave a weak Force push of his own in the Jedi's direction.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan watched as the, what he can only now think of as, sith fall to his face. Walking inside of a shelf while fighting was not the brightest thing to do. But it did give him the opurtinity to strike out in a different way.

This shelf that was knocked over was one that was full of all sorts of toys, but mostly stuffed animals. Taking up the Force, Rognan diverted several of the small, cute, toys to dive bomb Yurza's face. Some of the stuffed critters looked as if they were alive, going for the face and seeming to hang on to it for dear live. He then slowly started to use others to cling onto other parts of his body: his feet, up the leg, around the arms and shoulders. It was a tiny army of fluff, out to take down a giant for dinner.

[Kyle Krogen]

Yurza's foce push hit kyle in the chest and knocked him back down onto the ground again. His head hit something and soon pain was shooting through it.

He sat up while rubbing his head with his free hand, a look of suprise and pain on his face. He turned his head and saw a group of toys attacking the darksider. It took all Kyle's will power to keep himself from bursting into laughter. The sight of a bunch of animale of various sizes jumping and clinging to the darksider wasn't something you saw everyday and was strangely humorous.

Kyle got back onto his feet and brought his lightsabre around infront of him. He waited to see what would happen next.

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza looked around as the stuffed toys attacked him. What is this?!

He flung his arms this way and that. He tried to get up only to stumble once more. Slowly he got up and stood there. He tried to use the Force and brush the toys off him, but only so many would come off. He called his lightsaber to his hand and ignited one side to try and slice the ones still coming at him while he pushed the ones out of his face. Out of the corner of his eyes he spied a small child huddled in the corner trying to hide. He held his hand up in that direction as he tried to push more of the animals away. The child rose in the air and started clawing his neck as if someone was choking him.

"Lay off Jedi, or...." he coughed as on the the toys stuck part of itself in his mouth. He spit it out and continued. "Lay off!"

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan was to busy causing Yurza trouble to attack. But if he did, or even if Kyle did, it would have been easyer to end this fight. But he was slowly getting back to his feet and starting to knock and slice off the stuffed critters. There was plenty around the store to keep this up for a while, but that would do him no good. For now he had a hostige, and ready to use him.

There was nothing Rognan could do about this. Not in his means or in his knowlege. Slowly, and reluctantly, he had all the bears and other animals fall to the ground. But they didn't just drop. They stood on the ground and looked up at the Shade-look-alike, ready to pounce on him again.

"Are you going to kill the boy? If you do, you'll die right here along side him. You know this. So what are you going to do?"

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle saw the small child lift off the ground, clawing at his throat. Attack full grown men is one thing but attacking a small child in another. Kyle longed to dash forward and remove the man's head from his shoulders with a flick of his lightsabre.

This man was different then the darksider Kyle had fought before. The one he fought before fought with honor and not with dirty tricks and use of hostages. Kyle stayed where he stood, his lightsabre held tightly in two hands "Leave the boy alone" He said in a stern voice "Kill him and you only make your death more swift."

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza smiled as he watched the toys back off. Slowly he brought the child over to him. Once he was close enough, he pulled the boy out of the air and held him next to him, with his lightsaber near so that should they try anything, the boy's head would roll.

"I never said I was going to kill him, but...I would just hate for something to happen to him should you attack and have me defend myself."

[Naysheta]

Naysheta looked at the boy and her eyes widened with disbelief. She had been standing behind the younger of the two Jedi, but started forward at almost a near sprint.

"Nathan! No! Let him go please!"

[Rognan Dar]

"So you would prefure to have a stare down compitition then? For that is what you are saying. If you kill him you will die. If you dont kill him, then you will be standing there for a long time. Either way, you are going to lose."

This man really was crazy. If he waited until he thought he could get away, Rognan and Kyle could summon many more Jedi to come out and help take this man down. He was not over powerful, nor a master fighter. Anymore Jedi and he would crumble. The boy was the only problem. His life would be forfit, no matter what happens, unless he or Kyle can come up with some miracle.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle saw the girl running forward. He reached out his arm and grabbed her firmly by the shoulder "No, stay back. He will only kill the boy or take you as a hostage aswell. Please stay back. "Kyle turned his gaze back to the boy in the man's arms, then up at the man's face "Perhaps we could..." He hated to say it "Negotiate... something?" He said with a tinge of defeat in his voice.

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza smiled and nodded to the younger of the two.

"You should take pointers from the kid. I like his way of thinking."

[Rognan Dar]

"There is no negotiating with Sith." The last word that came from Rog's lips sounded bitter, like a bad fruit in his mouth. "You lie and decieve, to which there is no point to talk with you further. Do what you must, if you have to. Otherwise, give yourself up and you will not die this day."

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle could not believe the words coming from Rognan's mouth. He was going to let the darksider kill the boy just so he could get the darksider. It all seemed wrong to Kyle. He'd kill the man in a heartbeat but not if it ment the life of a child.

He felt utterly useless. Rognan didn't want to negotiate and the darksider wasn't going to just put the child down and let his get away. By Kyle and Rognan couldn't let the Darksider get away. He couldn't be aloud to stalk the steets again, killing who he wished.

His eyes flicked over to Rognan "What are we going to do?" Came Kyle's voice in Rognan's head "Its a stalemate."

[Yurza Magus]

"You assume to much by assuming I could die today Jedi."

He hesitantly stepped to the left to try and edge around the Jedi to see what thier reaction would be.

[Rognan Dar]

All at once the little stuffed animals ran from their motionless position to circle Yurza and follow him a bit until they stop, not letting him move any further without stepping on one of them.

"I assume nothing, Sith. It is you who assumes that you will not die."

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle took a few steps to the side, his eyes staying on Yurza. He wasn't going to let the man go, And by the looks of it, neither was Rognan "You choose your future here darksider. You can let the child go, come with us, and live. Or you can kill him and die here" Kyle's voice was calm, despite the anger that filled him "You choose either life or death. There is no other way."

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza knew he was trapped and had to make a decision soon, but he just couldn't decide what his best course of action would be. Finally he decided to just run. While he was certain he could better either of the Jedi alone, he wasn't about to find out how he would fair against two.

"Very well...you take him," the Dark Jedi said tossing the boy to Rognan. He quickly turned to Kyle and started towards the younger Jedi, figuring him for the weaker of the two. He ignited one end of his lightsaber and rushed him. When he was close enough he brought the bright red blade above his head and came down in a vertical slash that would cut him clean in half if it connected.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle grinned and he brought his sabre up in both hand. He held his lightsabr so the blade was horizontal above his head and used the force to strengthen his arm muscles. The lightsabres connected. Kyle almost lost his grip on his lightsabre as the darksider brought the heavy strike down apon him.

He held the lightsabres there and kicked out his foor at the man's knee.

[Yurza Magus]

Not wanting to risk injury to his knees, Yurza quickly stumbled backwards and broke off the blades' connection. As his left foot hit the ground however, he twisted to the right and as the Dark Jedi came around he held out his lightsaber in a tight arc around his body that was parallel to the ground and would slice through the Jedi where he stood.

As he was turning, he caught a quick glance of the small boy and the other Jedi and smiled. That had worked and occupied the darker one for a moment, but it seemed that moment was past, and Yurza needed to get going.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan was ready for anything. Or so he thought. Throwing away his only piece to work with was not what Rog would have done. Now he had nothing, and was now going to pay for it all. But first he had to deal with the boy.

The boy was half thrown, have pushed, in Rog's direction. The boy was falling over himself trying to stay upright. Rognna had to step forward and reach out to steady the boy. Once the boy regained his balance, Rog started to push him off to his sister.

"Go! Get your sister and leave this place. Dont look back, just keep going, understand? Now, go!"

Rognan then went back to the problem at hand. Running forward, Rog could see that Kyle was keeping his own. But who was to say that he could last forever. Rognan was still a few steps away and unable to do anything before the Sith attacked again.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle brought his sabre around and caught Yurza's sabre on his own and locked them together. He slowly started pushing, causing Yurza to move backwards. There was the edge of a fallen shelf behind his feet that might trip him up if Kyle could push him close enough to it.

Kyle used the force to add more strength to himself and pushed harder against Yurza's sabre.

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza took a step back and kicked the shelf. He knew it was there and what the young Jedi was trying to do, and he liked it. He took a step back to disengage his lightsaber from the young ones and he fell forward, at the same time Yurza stepped and tripped on the shelf. He fell backwards, turning the fall into a roll.

When he came up he saw that he was close to the entrance and the Jedi were not blocking his way, as they were in front of him and the entrance was behind him. "Later suckers."

He turned on the ball of his heel and jolted forward outside the door and turned the corner to see some cops standing there with thier blasters trained on him. "Oh great..."

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle appeared behind Yurza, lightsabre held at ready, and Rognan was not far behind "Give up darksider. We have you surrounded and there is no way your slipping out of this" He said in a stern voice.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan finally came up behind Kyle and Yurza, also surprised to see that some help decided to come. Behind Rog floated a wide range of toys, most of them being something hard and ready to do some damage.

He then started to slowly circle around Kyle and Yurza, coming closer to the cops. He waited for the man to reply to Kyle's request, no, more like a command. Either he sets down his lightsaber and hands himself over or he was going to fight to the death.

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza glanced over his shoulder and back at the gaurds. One good Force push and he could get by the gaurds. It was the Jedi that he was concerned. He looked behind the gaurds. If I can just get to that crowd, I can mask my signature and disappear into them.

He looked back and then turned making a quick and rash decision. HE rushed the gaurds and just before they had trained thier blasters on him, he threw up his free hand and the middle section of the gaurds fell down. Yurza turned towards that hole and smiled. I don't believe it! I'm going to get away!

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle was right behind Yurza. He had expected the darksider to make a run for it and he was ready. He chased after the darksider, using the force to boost himself. He reached out his left hand and used the force to pull the man's legs backwards.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan was still moving his way to get infront of the officers when he was suddenly knocked down, with most of the guards as well. The man then jumped through the mess of bodies and made his way off. Rog looked up just in time to see Kyle take after him. Rog pushed himself up to his feet and also went after.

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza's feet jumped out from under him and he landed with a thud and rolled a few feet. When he got up, his face and left arm was bleeding from numerous open cuts from the floor. He pulled himself to his feet and tried running away again, only to trip himself on his own feet and slip on his blood on the floor.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle stopped next to the fallen darksider, staying clear of the slick blood. He pointed his ignited sabre blade at the man. keeping it's point only a few inches from the man's body. "Are you ready to give up now?"

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza looked up at the lightsaber and back around as people with weapons started to gather. He sighed and tossed his lightsaber down. "No point in fight with this kinda odds."

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan came up behind Kyle as Yurza gave up. The man was out of his place. His arragance was his downfall. Like most people that have gifts or power, they think that they are better then everyone else. But, as it seemed, this man was not.

Taking a step forward, a shape moved out from behind Rognan and smacked Yurza right in the head. It was one of the toys, of a hard matriel, he had borrowed from the store. He was planning to use it in such a way, but not in this situation.

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza brought his hand up to his face and hled it at the point on his nose between his eyes.

"Son ofa...you just wait, Jedi! You'll get what's coming to you!" He spitb out as the gaurds moved to jerk him up and slap a pair of stun cuffs on him.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle just stared at the man for a moment before making a sweeping motion with his hand "Take him away." He said plainly and watched as the gaurds dragged the darksider away.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan also watched for a bit before turning to Kyle.

"Good work. I dont know if I would have been able to handle all of this on my own. Now, why dont you go back to the Order. I'm going to stick around to make sure nothing else happens."

With that, Rognan followed the ever disapearing officers, as they moved through the crowds that had quickly gathered.

[Yurza Magus]

Yurza walked, dragging his feet as they carried him away. He didn't try anything as he still might have a chance to get away if he was careful and silent. He flexed his arm experimentally and was rewarded with a numbing jolt of electricity. Just wait Jedi...I will have my revenge!
