Song of the Dancing Goddess (Anbira)

[HunterJodoKast]

At a docking bay on Arcan IV lies a very unique ship with the callsign of Red Shiva. The engine drive is still heated from it's recent arrival. The craft belongs to bounty hunter Jodo Kast and he had just arrived to begin his hunt for the Jedi Master named Anbira Hicchoru. The landing ramp descends before a armored figure with rocketpack walks it's length.

Soon after a strange wine emits from the cargo hold as three probe droids emerge. Stopping just below the ship's outer hull, the droids hover awaiting his instruction. Shifting around to face them, Jodo Kast retrieves three small holocards and inserts one in each droid. Lights flash and blink a few times near the visual receiver as each droid downloads the information held on the holocards. The flashing lights cease while the droids await a command.

*Go, find him*

The droids obey the hunter by fanning out and spinning off in separate directions. Flying at 65 kilometers an hour, each droid bears with it a holoimage of Anbira Hicchoru. He watches them until they're far beyond his vision.

[Anbira Hicchoru]

:: Several kilometers away, Anbira begins his morning meditations, atop a grassy hill. However, he can feel a growing disturbance in the Force...one manifesting itself very close to him. ::

[HunterJodoKast]

One small spherical droid is returning to the docking bay, manuevering above the cityscape, it's non-reflective matte grey shell just a spec floating over the horizon. Jodo Kast watches it through his macrobinocular visor.

He scans over the area searching for the other two droids, but they're no-where in sight. Their mission remains incomplete, the hunter concludes as the droid finally hovers in over the platform. Stopping five feet in front of him, Jodo Kast takes a couple of step closer to the droid. Now to find out what you have found, my little friend.

He pushes a button just above the visual receiver and wide pale blue light flashes from a small holo-lens revealing the luminescent image of Anbira Hicchoru. The Jedi Master appears to be in an meditative state upon a small grassy knoll.

The armored hunter gathers his blaster and mounts up on a swoop-bike sitting at the edge of the platform. Hitting the drive controls and initializing the bike's repulsorlift engine. The vehicle zooms forward before performing a descending wide circle around the landing platform. Once achieving the desired altitude, Jodo Kast hits the accelerator racing to the acquisition's location.

[Anbira Hicchoru]

:: The Jedi's eyes open in the midst of his meditation. There can be no doubt about it any longer. The disturbance in the force draws near. Now...he is ready. ::

[HunterJodoKast]

The swoop bike roars over the horizon, swiftly closing in on Anbira Hicchoru, the Jedi Master can see the vehicle plainly approaching. He can also feel a empty pool in the Force descending upon him like a winged predator.

Jodo Kast intently observes the distant figure grow larger and larger until it possesses the semblance of a man. The thunder of the engines now reverberates the ground beneath Anbira's feet.

The swoop bike quickly decelerates as it draws nearer to Anbira, the hunter pulls to an stop seventy feet away from him by performing a perfectly executed quarterspin. The hovervehicle seems to roll on the crest of an unseen wave.

Jodo Kast dismounts the bike while issuing a short verbal commander. An object of a spherical design comes to life with melodic beeps, disengaging itself from the rear of the bike. It rises up. The droid's shielding activates with a visible sheen as it encircles the two warriors from twenty feet above. This drone contains live ysalamiri with the necessary nutrient frame.

The armored hunter slips the sawed-off blaster rifle out of it's scabbard mounted on the bike, twirling the trusted weapon once while checking the power-cell level. Full charge. Jodo Kast glances up at Anbira and marches quickly towards him, his hand clenching the blaster's wide-bore barrel tightly with anticipation.

Stopping halfway between the bike and the Jedi, Jodo Kast raises the blaster, leveling it on Anbira. The Force-user has only a second's reprieve before the weapon roars. He opens up on Anbira Hicchoru with blaster fire precisely aimed at the aged warrior's arms, legs, and other non-vital organs. Double and triple bursts. Above them the droid continues it's programmed orbit. Jodo Kast begins to encircle the Master with carefully measured v-steps. Lacking the guidance and power of the Force, Anbira finds himself overwhelmed under the barrage with no means of a sure defense.
