The Escort Service (Tomak)

[Sanis Prent]

(Continued from "looking for a man)

(After the altercation, Tomak left, and I made sure nobody crossed his path again. He exited the B&G, and I followed, a small distance behind)

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak turned, "Why are you following me? Can I get your name?" Tomak stood there waiting to see what the stranger would say.

[Sanis Prent]

Name's Sanis Prent.

(I extended my hand)

There are some people concerned about your safety, so they hired me to keep an eye on you.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak thoght, "A body guard. Hmmm...So they are concerned for my safety. Have I really made that many enemies. Oh well, you take what is given, I suppose." Tomak shook the mans hand, and then said, "Welcome. Would you like to come to my room for supper? So what are you? A jedi, or a bounty hunter?" Tomak stood waiting for the mans answer.

[Sanis Prent]

(I led Tomak out of the B&G...far too many prying eyes and other dangers were in there)

I'm just a man trying to make a living out here.

(I shook my head at the man's offer)

Thanks, but no thanks. Not particuarly hungry. My ship's on the outskirts, and there's some gear I need to pick up.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak handed Sanis a few credits, "Thank you for your services. They are most appreciated. Are you sure you do not wish to come for dinner? We could just talk, who said we had to eat. It's your decision. I could get a droid to get your gear." Tomak stood in wait for the mans answer.

[Sanis Prent]

(We approached the Layla, berthed at the outskirts of Arcan city)

That won't be necessary, its not a lot of gear.

(Activating the remote, I lowered the freighter's gangplank, and made my way up it. Once inside, I secured added gear that I hadn't brought with me. A personal Sorosuub boost pack, enhanced microfield generator, and other amenities.)

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak looked at Sanis, "Well, if you ever need a free meal just come on over." Tomak watched as Sanis boarded his ship. He waved goodbye and wondered who hired him to protect him. This was very odd indeed. It almost made him feel weak. Tomak was glad he was safe though. It was a good feeling.

[Sanis Prent]

(I came back down the gangplank, and tossed Tomak a set of binders)

Here, put those on.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak put them on and wondered what they were for. "Okay, now what do I do?" Tomak wondered if he were walking into a trap, or if he was going along with some plan. This was very strange.

[Sanis Prent]

(I gestured up the gangplank)

Well, now you walk up here, and I secure you in the prisoner hold.

(I laughed a little sheepishly)

But enough chatting, I'm 15 minutes behind schedule.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak grew angry and shook his head. "Who are you and what do you want? Your not protecting me, your trying to kill me aren't you. What are you doing to me?! You have no right! What do you want with me? Who hired you? It was Blade wasn't it?" Tomak tried not to let his anger overtake him. This was ridiculos what was going on?!

[Sanis Prent]

(I sighed)

Look. This isn't a game of twenty questions, and I've got a schedule to keep. Lets make this easy for both of us.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak went along with Sanis little game. He walked up the gangplank. Sanis locked him up, and they were off. Tomak could not help but wonder what this was all about. What was going on? This was the weirdest thing that had ever happened....besides Dios. Why did Sanis want him? Tomak called out from the cage, "I have one question. At least let me ask one. Who hired you? Tell me this and I shall answer one of your questions. I know you have some." Tomak sat there waiting to see if Sanis would respond. As Tomak saw it he would get to wherever they were going, find out what was going on, and then show off his vampiric abilities and leave. If only Tomak could think of someone who would want him for a prisoner. This smelled very funny....

[Sanis Prent]

(I laughed as I fired up the ship's engines)

Its really not a question of who hired me...and more of a question of who didn't. You make a lot of dangerous enemies, vampire. And they pay well for my services. Truth be told, I think they'd rather have you alive than otherwise.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak looked at Sanis, "Enemies? As far as my knowledge goes I only have a few. Unless the whole galaxy wants my head. You have very good abilities in tricking people. Your parents must be very proud." Tomak spoke with an annoyed nature. "I would still like to know whose paying you, maybe names will do this time instead of some cheap statement that doesn't answer my question. Where are you taking me? By the way the name is Tomak Ohara. One you should be afraid of after tonight. For just as many enemies I have, I have just as many friends. I would advise you to release me." Tomak tried a jedi mind trick so that Sanis would release him, but he did not even know how. He would try anything at this point though.

[Sanis Prent]

(The padawan's mind trick was doomed to fail against the premeditated nature of my actions. I shook my head)

Don't take it personally. You'll only get hurt that way.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak looked at Sanis, "You never answered my question. Where are you taking me? This makes no sense. I do not understand. Who would want me like this. Oh yeah, how much longer untill we arrive where we are going?" Tomak sat there he hoped they would het there soon. The waiting was driving him nuts. He needed to know what was going on. He had to know and he would find out.

[Sanis Prent]

(I continued piloting)

Not much longer at all.

(Flipping a switch, I spoke into the comm)

Layla to Sanguine, I've got your mark. Deliver coordinates for receipt.

[Dios Kane]

:: At the bar, Dios Kane stood up as he felt the essence of Tomak dissappear, that meant he was either in hyperspace or he died, Dios guessed the first one and wondered why he would be leaving... Dios downed another drink then walked out the bar to prepare for when Tomak showed back up.::
Tomak?

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak sat in the cage, "So then where are you taking me? At least answer me that. I mean what is it gonna ruin, once we step out of this ship I will see it." Tomak stood up and flapped his wings a few times, and tried to get some force in his hand for a large force push, because once he found out what was going on he would leave. His wings gave him an advantage in that, and so did the tricks his master tought him. Force jump and force pull. Who was behind this would soon be realized. It was time for Tomak to do his magic.

[Sanis Prent]

That all depends on my employer's decision. He and his kind don't exactly make themselves easy to find.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak waited till they landed and when Sanis took him out of his cage and led him down the gangplank. Tomak looked around at his surroundings. He felt like he had been here before he just could not remeber when. "Where are we, and when will we meet who we are looking for?" Tomak waited for Sanis answer and what happened after that was a complete twist.

[Sanis Prent]

OOC: we haven't landed anywhere. Don't worry...when we're where we need to be, you'll know.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak snapped out of his daydream. "Are we there yet? Whoa....I feel like i just got pummeled with asteroids. What the hell happened? Tell me this is all just a bad dream." Tomak looked around, nope it was real. He was locked in a cage and something was wrong. He saw Sanis sitting in the cockpit, saying something to a microphone. This was not looking good for him.

[Tomak Ohara]

"Well are you going to answer my questions or not. Do not ignore me answer me!" How dare he, first he takes me prisoner, then he tricks me, and then he won't even answer my questions. "Is the race that keeps themselves hidden, vampires? I need to know at least answer me this. As far as I know I am the only one." Tomak stood in wait for Sanis answer.

[Sanis Prent]

That's right.

[Tomak Ohara]

"Enough riddles, what are you saying? Am I to be some kind of experiment. You will tell me you bastard! What did I do to deserve this? How much longer until we land?" Tomak was getting angry, but he did not let it overtake him. Tomak waited for Sanis answer.

[Sanis Prent]

I don't know why you're wanted, and I make it a point not to ask. You're wasting your energy.

[Tomak Ohara]

"Well have we almost arrived yet, can you tell that much." Tomak was tired of waiting it was time to know and he had better find out soon. He was going insane. Tomak looked at Sanis, "Can you let me out and walk around. I would very much apprciate it. I need the room to fly around." Tomak waited to see what Sanis would say.

[Sanis Prent]

(That one made me laugh)

Friend, even if I was stupid enough to let you out of there, there isn't enough space in this tin can for you to fart in, let alone fly. Relax. We'll know soon enough where we're going, and when we'll be there.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak could not relax. He had to know what was going on. "Could you at least tell me when we are going to be out of hyperspace?" Tomak sat there and waited to see what happened next. Apparently, destiny had just delt him a cruel hand, but he still had an ace up his sleve. This was not going to work out. "Wow, I am hungry you got anything to eat?" Tomak thought to himself, his blood packs, they were at home. That was okay though he realized he did not need to feed for another few months. "Please answer one of my questions, when will we pull out of hyperspace, or who hired you? By the way, may I ask what measures would you have taken to get me on this ship?" Tomak wondered what answers Sanis would give him now.

[Sanis Prent]

Do you always talk this much?

[Tomak Ohara]

"I just need to know what the deal is. If you were to answer my questions I might be quiet. So then do we know anything yet? So I heard somewhere you were a buisnessman. What kind of buisness do you do? Why did you throw me the binders instead of putting them on me? Afraid to fight a vampire?" Tomak brandished his fangs and smiled. That always scared people. Tomak had been working to get the binders undone for some time, and yet they would not even come lose. He sat there and thought about who would want him. "Can you tell me how much you are being paid for this, and exactly what your employer looks like, please." Tomak sat in wait for his answer.

[Sanis Prent]

(I reclined my seat back)

I'd get some sleep if I were you.

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios was still waiting at the bar. Tomak should've been here by now. He was supposed to pay for the drinks.::
Man, this guy takes forever to wake up!

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak went along with one of his plans. "Sleep sounds good. I think I will do that." Tomak wrapped his wings around his body and closed his eyes to fall asleep. Tomak slept very quietly and waited until they arrived.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak looked around and got up. "Have we arrived yet? I am tired of sitting in this cage. This is getting very old. We really need to arrive." Tomak looked over at Sanis and threw a little force push at him and he fell out of his chair. Tomak laughed at this. Sanis got up and looked around, "Good morning sunshine. Well are we there yet?"

[Sanis Prent]

(I fell out of my chair, and stood slowly)

Marcus, we've got a comedian. Juice him, please.

[Marcus v4]

A soft, computerized voice made its presence known over the intercom.

Very well.

Within the confines of the prisoner hold, Tomak was jolted with a tremendous amount of electricity, causing him to spasm uncontrollably until he flopped to the floor, unable to move.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak looked at Sanis, "Marcus? What does he have to do with this? Where are you taking me? Have we arrived yet? I swear you people move slow don't you?" Tomak looked around again nothing had changed. Same place, "Please hurry. Just as you have appointments to keep so do I."

[Gavin LeStat]

Thundering locks released as the heavy bay door gave way opening beneath the Sanguine. Blackness of space dotted with pinhole light seemed to fade as the blood red light escaped the landing bay. Gavin had the look of walking into a surprise birthday party he already knew of as he led six of the Covens elite Dark Troopers down the corridors and lifts of his fathers ship.

"Lord Gavin, Sanis Prent has made contact, and has requested coordinates."

Never breaking stride he spoke into his wrist comm.

"Transmit coordinates via encrypted code to his ship only, launch TIE Defender squadrons to surrounding sectors including ours, and prepare for hyperspace jump to our predetermined destination."

The officer almost thought he was speaking to Saurron for a moment as Gavin's voice gave the orders in such a calm yet commanding tone.

http://www.boomspeed.com/sarilestat/gavinsig.jpg

[Sanis Prent]

(The message came through clear enough...and it was about damn time too. I was generally a patient man, but listening to my passenger whimper was causing me to inheirit some of his impatience. Just when I decide not to keep them sedated for the trip, they decide to talk my ear off.

Smiling, I replied to the message, feeding the coordnates into the nav comp. I turned to Tomak's cell with a smile)

You're in luck. Shouldn't be too long now. Sit back and relax.

(Once Marcus completed the calculations for the jump, I switched the hyperdrive to full, watching the stars pull back into a light show)

[Alana Stormcloud]

Alana and Soth arrived at the docking bay after there first meeting with Master Saurron. Soth had decided to go and pay Saurron a visit on the Sanguine. Alana had decided to go along with him. She had missed her master.

Both vampyres arrogantly strode down the landing ramp of the Lambda Shuttle. Alana spotted Gavin and smiled. Nudging Soth she pointed to Saurrons son. He was as he had always been a beautiful youth that had an air of confidence. He had good cause to be so sure of himself. He was after all his fathers son.

Moving quickly Alana slipped her arms around Gavin's chest as he turned to greet her, having felt her presence as soon as they had landed."Hello Gavin what a pleasure to see you again." Alana said as she placed a kiss on his cheek....

[Lord Soth]

The Sanguine's pitch black hull made it nearly impossible to detect against the inky backdrop of space...However the Death Knight knew they were there...He felt them, sensed them as the Lambda class made it's landing approach towards the behemoth ship.

The whining of the engine's could be heard as the two figure's emerged from the under belly of the transport. With great pride and arrogance, the two children of the damned walked gracefully down the ramp towards Saurrons son. Soth could already tell that Gavin had grown into a fine young man, not to mention a true full blood of their kind...His long linage was strong and as equally lethal...After all it was the same blood that ran through Soth's vein's...And the Death Knight was graciously indebted to his Master for this.

As Soth watched Alana embrace Gavin after a long separation, the young vampyre turned to Soth and smiled. Soth nodded to Gavin then removed his ancient helm of the Black Rose Order.

"It's been far too long Gavin LeStat...You look well." Soth let a wiry smile cross his face as he crossed his arm's in front of him.

"Perhaps you can tell me were your father is currently my friend..."

[Gavin LeStat]

Gavin's hand immediately encompassed Alana's waist as she kissed his cheek. He squeezed her but not to tightly, then let her go. His Mentor, Soth followed thus. He had taught him sword play with a dash of cunning. Gavin was a difficult learner as he had a fixation with blasters in his young life. Well he was still young but he would tell you different. Soth however taught him the value of the saber, and sword. Gavin would always remember...always.


Gavin gazed at the armor of the Black Rose and almost felt as though he should kneel. He had not seen Soth in some time as his emotions finally overran him. A strong embrace ensued. Even though it was for mere moments it held meaning beyond most knowing.

"He is in his chambers awaiting us all once our cargo is here."

A smile followed that Soth had not seen. Gavin had indeed grown. His arrogance was now backed with a fitting knowledge of the Darkside pool in which they all were born of and swam within all of there lives.

[Sanis Prent]

(The Layla cut out of hyperspace in the midst of an immense obsidian dagger, prowling the dark of space like an evil storm. With little chatter over the comm, I maneuvered the ship into the Super Star Destroyer's massive docking bay, putting her down gently. Powering down the systems, I stood from my seat, turning around.)

Well, here we are.

[Tomak Ohara]

"Well it is about time. I was losing my patience. So then where do we go?" Tomak stood and spread his wings. This was it, time to find out who wanted him. Tomak walked out with Sanis and followed him, what happened next could only be decided by destiny.

[SAURRON]

Saurron sat in total darkness, yet his eyes it was clear as day to a humanoid. Torches on the wall lit in unison without one to light them. Surely it was not for him...he who needed no light. No it for his guest, the misguided one. Saurron had foreseen it, the Darkside showed him...showed him the light...showed him the forthcoming.

An intense stoic face glared back at the darkness that shown before him..it was unblinking...unwavering.

His son would bring the lost one to him...

[Lord Soth]

Not long after the pleasantries between the trio, a lone craft entered the immense docking bay of the Sanguine. Soth watched as Gavin's eyes trailed over to the rogue ship. Soth slowly turned to get a better look at it as the young lord walked past them a few paces. Now the Death Knight's full attention was on the freighter....It was none other than the Layla!.. Prents ship. However it wasn't the ship of the infamous bounty hunter Sanis Prent that captured Soth's interest, it was the life source within that deeply stirred him.

Soth's fearsome eye's narrowed at the Layla as Gavin wasted no time in assembling a squadron Saurron's elite troopers that stood on the ready.

"Sanis Prent... what have you drug in this time?" Soth thought to himself as the group moved toward the Layla.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak stepped down the plank, and thought to himself. "I can smell vampiric blood here. So my thoughts were correct." Tomak looked at the odd man and spread his wings in fear at him, "Who are you? None the less I am Tomak Ohara. I am wondering as to why I am here...can you answer my questions?" Tomak said as he gave the man an odd look.

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios sat straight up in the bar, Tomak was dreadfully late for his drink and it was geting warm. Dios didn't care about that, he had been linked to Tomak since that day of passing through the portal and he could sense Tomak had emerged from hyperspace and was now having a controlled anxiety attack. Not good, what was up with him? This could be a problem. Dios couldn't pull the link such a distance a Tomak was seperated but he could sure as hell track him to where ever he was. Dios got up and ran for the docking bay. Tomak had just had a feeling of satisfaction, of what? What the heck was going on? Not knowing then all the sudden knowing and now feeling something strange. He had to hurry, something was not right. He made it to the Docking bay and found Tomak's cruiser, he plugged in the password and entered. He immediatly prepared for departure as he got clearance and lifted off. He'd try and figure out what was going on, for a friend's sake.::

[Sanis Prent]

(I stepped out of the Layla, giving Tomak a leading nudge in the small of his back with a blaster. My face was expressionless. It was time to seal the deal. In the distance, my shadowy employers stood, awaiting their prize.)

Another blue milk run taken care of, Saurron.

(I escorted my prisoner down the gangplank, and then stepped to the side.)

I trust my payment is adequate?

[Lord Soth]

The Death Knight watched intently as Sanis brought the shackled man done the ramp towards the group. Soth knew what he was and what he stood for without inquiry...He was jedi, not to mention one that called himself a Nosferatu!...In Soth's mind, this being wasn't even worthy to be called a half breed. As Soth watched Gavin give the order's for the Sanguine's massive bay door to be shut, the Death Knight approached the being at the end of the ramp where Sanis had him by one arm. Soth in respect nodded to the Bounty Hunter as Tomak piped in.

Tomak: "Who are you? Nonetheless I am Tomak Ohara. I am wondering as to why I am here...can you answer my questions?"

The man just had barely finished his sentence when the back of Soth's armored glove connected with Tomak's face. Spittle flew from his mouth as his head was jared to the side from the sudden violent blow. Soth eye's blazed a hot red hue as they bore into Tomak's own.

"You will not speak unless spoken to outlander! The Death Knight word's were through clenched teeth, tipped with a venomous tone as he continued.

"You would fair well to keep your mouth shut fool!" Soth eye'd Tomak then placed his talon gloves behind his back as he walked a tight circle around the new prisoner.

[Gavin LeStat]

Gavin grinned as he watched Tomak's head jerk to the side from Soth's firmly placed backhand.

Gavin stepped in toward the wayard Padawan.

"Your here becouse you are you. "

The son of evil itself gave the order with a point of his finger. "

"Close the bay doors."

With that he turned and strode off toward the lift that would take them up through the decks to meet his father. Two Dark Troopers nudged Tomak to follow there master.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak felt a little pain from the hit, "My laws are not the same as yours creature. My clan is much more noble. I am a prince of my clan and you will respect me. You are of nothing to me." Tomak looked at the two troopers. So this was it, he would not join them so he would stay here and think of a way to escape.

[Gavin LeStat]

Gavin caught part of Tomak's thoughts and turned. In an instant he had him by the throat, and bent over backwards on his heels in a more than prone position almost equaling a 90 degree angle.

"Clan?!?!?....escape?!?!? I should rip your throat out here and now and watch the blood of your cattle or whatever it is you feed on color the floor. A prince!. Please!!!"

Gavin scoffed aloud in Tomak's face then let him go only to land on the glossy black floor in which shone with a blood red hue. It was in Gavin's mind where he belonged like a dog.

"Get up!!!" Gavin shouted.

Gavin did not wait for him to act out his obvious defiance. Sharp nails encompassed Tomak's throat and brought him to his feet...

"Now do we have to incapacitate you? Please say yes" He laughed.

He forced the wayward Vampyre forward then called out to Sanis.

'My father wants to see you also Mr. Prent."

[Sanis Prent]

(I nodded)

Of course. Lead the way.

(I met my gaze with Tomak, returning him a deadpan expression.)

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak looked around. This man would get what was coming to him. All Tomak had to do was wait for his one perfect moment and then pounce. This vampire was pure evil. He was from a clan he had never even seen. This vampire fed on humans. He did not have just morals. Tomak looked ahead of him and saw a large door. What was going to happen next.

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios had the sense in a straight line now. Punching in the guestimate of the coordinates he pushed it and went to sleep, he'd be there when he woke up.::

[Lord Soth]

The Death Knight found great pleasure in seeing the son of Saurron take matter's into his own hand. If the situation was somewhat different and Gavin's explicit order's from his father were not a concerning matter, Soth had no doubt that Gavin would have washed the smooth polished floor over with the intern's of the captive. Soth moved in quickly towards Tomak as he tried to steady himself from Gavin's assault on him. The Death Knight brought his elbow down hard on the back of Tomak's neck causing him to reel forward from the crushing blow. Soth's armored knee then met with Tomak's face with a sickening thud. Blood now poured effortlessly from Tomak's mouth and nostril's. Tomak fell in and out of consciousness for a few brief moment's as the Death Knight mocked him.

"Did you feel that little one?" Soth then jerked the wayward creature back up by the collar, both his feet left the floor momentarily as he did so. Drool mixed with blood ran down the front of Tomak's shirt as Soth leaned into his ear. Gavin looked on with a wiry smile that completed the moment...Pleasure, and a certain satisfaction for the time being. The best was yet to come!

"When you meet my Master, you will bow before him!...And if find that your knee's resist his presence, well, then I'll be sure to break them for you fool." Soth whispered in Tomak's ear in low lethal tone's. The Death Knight then pulled away just enough to slap the prisoner on the back of the head.

"Get moving boy! You don't want to keep my Master waiting. Pray that he's not in a foul mood outlander!" Soth let out a sinister laugh as he glanced over to Gavin and Sanis. Alana shot Soth a sadistic smile herself as the group moved towards a turbo lift.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak now bleeding beyond belief stood proudly and walked with whatever he had left. It was time to solve this mystery. Tomak followed the young man. So young and arrogant. He would see the light soon enough, that is when Tomaks saber was in his face. Tomak felt the prescence of Dios....he was heading here. Tomak felt an odd prescence surround him and thought of himself saying,"No turn back you fool!!!!!!" Tomak continued to walk with the knight. Power was to be respected, but only if it were power with honor and justice. This man was nothing to Tomak, and would soon realize what would happen to those that abused him.

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios snapped awake to a bad dream. He looked around and laughed, he was still in it. He thought he'd heard Tomak, saying somethin about a fool, mosty likely the man was talking about himself. That vampyre was very confusing at times. He checked how far down the line he was to stopping. Tomak was in pain. Dios could tell, He could almost believe he had blood streaming from his nose and elsewhere. But he could still sense Tomak, closer. He would keep goin... not too much longer in hyperspace.::

[SAURRON]

The figure was the commander of the Sanguine, and it cast a pale blue light upon its immediate surroundings. Saurron's figure in turn graced the command deck of the Sanguine.

"Lord Saurron do you wish us to enter hyperspace now?"

No...Hold your position and increase your sentry patrols. Activate gravity wells.

Saurron's chair spun slowly around. Where he stood, then walked down several ebony steps to where his most prized weapons lay beneath natural light from a flickering flame. The orange, yellow hue gleamed on blades and hilts alike as his hand passed over several of them in denial. They would not be used tonight. No...his hand passed over then returned to the Sith Dagger that he deeply cut Leia with on Dagobah. His pale hand encompassed its hilt and brought it up away from the flickering light into the darkness with him to meet his guest...

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios came out of hyperspace and laughed at what was there. It seemed like nothing at first until his computer showed the relative size of himself and the ship to this other... thing. He'd just have to say it was bigger than some other stuph. Dios pulled out and quickly knocked off the engines, he didn't want to be detected and he didn't know much, but he sensed more than just Tomak in there... that was a lot of vampires... a lot. Dios' vampyre hunting sense was thrown wack with all of this. Good luck fella, you mash meat now. He couldn't think of anything else. But he had to try, it was that simple, Tomak deserved a chance, not just for Dios to leave him there. He punched on the engine and opened up his channel.::
Anyone aboard that coffin out there? Cuz if there is... humph, excuse me... I demand... that you let Tomak Ohara go...
:: It took Dios a moment he was trying to let his pride take over before his mind caught up with it. Too late.::
I'm Dios Kane... Vampyre hunter and padawan of the GJO and I'm here to get my friend back!
:: He closed his channel and waited for their reply, his sensors picked up several starships, Tomak's ship was good, good shielding, good manuverabilty, and nice weapons but it couldn't last against these odds...::

[SAURRON]

Four TIE Defenders closed immediatly on Dios's position with great speed letting loose a volley of shots aimed to capture his attention if nothing else. His ship shook violently. It was after all, an easy target as it had just gone under power again. Bright flashes erupted all around him as his ship shook again. His aft shields were taking a pounding.

Unidentified ship power down, or be destroyed
http://www.boomspeed.com/sarilestat/covenpilot5..jpg

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios didn't have a problem with that. He flipped the ship's power down and sat back, it wasn't his so he would prefer to at least keep it in one piece.::

[SAURRON]

http://www.boomspeed.com/sarilestat/sanguine.jpg


The Sanguine loomed ahead almost blocking out the nearest cursed stars light. Then with a great jerking motion Dios's ship lurched forward as three tractor beams locked on to his ship. It was a free ride to the Sanguine...the Sanguine...a place most in the universe did not want to tread. Just the hull of the enormous ship gave one the chills with its near absence of light reflection and or lights for that matter. Lights that usually dotted a Star Destroyer to no end did not exist here...it was floating death, and Dios was heading straight for it now.

Two Tie Defenders roared past Dios's ship with there trademark Seinar Systems engines at full speed, while the other two stayed just back of Dios's ship flanking it in escort. Turbo lasers, to many to count trained their sights on the incoming vessel. If there was even the slightest move by Dios a quick end would be eminent...to say the least

[Alana Stormcloud]

Alana had watched the exchange between her Shrine brother and the one who called himself a Vampire Prince. She had remained silent. Moving up close she looked into the captives eyes, she moved around him in a full circle they walked.

To Alana he was nothing more than an empty shell of what he pretended to be. She could feel Master Saurron close by now and she knew that once he got a hold of the little fledgling he would be in a world of hurt.

"Have you no honor for the race you claim to be. A Jedi Vampyre, what a mockery." She said to Tomak her voice filled with scorn. "You my dear are not worth my time." Alana drew her nail across his cheek cutting a deep path where he blood welled. Even your blood reeks of weakness."

[Sanis Prent]

(I interrupted Saurron's solace, the heavy door to his chamber opening with a hiss. There were probably few who would dare to enter his inner sanctum. But with us...there was an...understanding. I didn't waste my time. Understanding or not, I didn't want to mince words with the vampire. His company was at times...unpalatable.)

Your package is delivered. My usual fee stands.

(I glanced to the "trouble" outside, on a monitor)

Do you have anything else in mind? I'm not due on Sullust for another two days.

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios sat back and waited. Not much to fear except for the huge ship that blotted out the whole frickin galaxy. Dios wanted to laugh but before he could he reached up to his cheek and felt it. It felt as if somebody had just took a knife to it... Tomak, that kid was gettin the crap knocked out of him and now somebody was gonna waste their time cutting him just to let it heal back. Oh well, Dios would get to have his own fun soon. He was getting pulled into one of the many holds that were probably in this ship. Fun indeed.::

[Tomak Ohara]

"I maybe worthless to you,m and I may seem weak, but I am strong and beneath me is a power you would not want to awaken. For you see I have the same vampiric abilities you do. The only diffrence is that I can control mine." Tomak tightened his body and let the energy flow freely through him. His wounds sealed shut almost instantly and his body though still weakened was not to have a scratch on it. He could still feel the pain from the blows, but you could not see them, "You do not know what you are doing. I am asking you to please release me before I do something I should not." Then Tomak felt it. Dios was here and he would be tortured like Tomak was. "PLEASE, do not harm Dios!!!!! Release him and I will do as you say! I could not stand to have him hurt."

[Lord Soth]

Soth waked a number of paces before bowing in front of his Master. A deep and foreboding air filled the room as the group entered Saurron's inner sanctum. The great Sith Master Vampyre exuded a power that all in the room felt upon entering, his evil permeating throughout the whole of the Sanguine. A bridled supremacy that demanded respect and reverence,...Even from the creature Sanis Prent drug in! The Death Knight stood as Saurron gestured for him to stand. Soth placed his talon hands behind him as he addressed Saurron.

"My Master, allow me to rid you of this...This abomination to our kind." Soth glanced over to Tomak with a disgusted look on his face.

"Give me the pleasure of taking his miserable life in your presence my master." Soth finished his word's in lethal tone's, his gloves creaking in hate as he clenched them tightly. Then without warning, Soth lunged at the jedi creature not far from him. Immediately Tomak found himself sprawled out on the floor in a prone position that the Death Knight took full advantage of. A sickening thud could be heard throughout Saurron's chamber as Soth's heavy boot made full contact with Tomak's face. The well placed kick caused the jedi to spit blood moment's later as he rolled over in pain...

Soth eye's blazed at hot red hue as he narrowed them at the downed creature, ignoring his pathetic plea's on behalf of his foolish friend.

"Your friend will share the same fate soon enough...jedi!" As the Death Knight finished his words through clenched teeth, Tomak felt his trachea constrict. The white's of Tomak eye's turned a blood red as the Force choke from Soth began to suffocate him. Image's of his life flashed before his mind as his life was slowly being taken. If Saurron did not halt the Death Knight in his action's, Tomak would be dead within moment's.

There was a snapping noise, then the sound of energy running it's full length's as a green glow fell over Tomak's form. The hiss of Soth's wicked duel saber's would see to that!

[Tomak Ohara]

OOC: Sorry, I have not been here in a week so i am kinda gettin used to things again.

Tomak felt his trachea shutting, he was breathing slower by the moment. This pain was unbearable. He could feel his life force draining. He was hopeless. What is wrong here. Why could he not fight back. He feared more for Dios than for himself.

[Lord Soth]

OOC: Thanks bro...And no problem man...:)

[Lion El' Jonson]

Dios had left hours ago, and Tomak had been gone far, far longer, according to some.

"Where the hell are they? Especially Dios, he never stays away from the bar this long..." Lion said to himself.

(ooc: Mind if I butt in?)

[SAURRON]

The hilt was cold but the blade was so cold it burned to the touch. Saurron turned to Sanis tapping the Sith Dagger in his palm.

I want you to stay here Mr. Prent, there may be another bounty for you arriving soon. Saurron smirked then spoke while turning away from him. One night you may just find what it is your looking for if you keep such company as mine Mr. Prent.

The arched blast doors slid open and the down trodden Jedi flailed inward as if thrown. Soth had much hatred for this kind. A Vampyre drawn to the light...nonsense! A solid boot...hands gripping flesh in desparity...then a sickly green glow. Soth was a killer. His spirit had survived millennia, destroying many a man and creature alike. This one would make no difference to him.

The green blade came down to a hairs width from Tomak's neck then stopped at Saurron's upheld hand.

Only now you understand, both you and your friends are doomed.

Saurron spun the dagger he held in his hand bringing the hilt to face Lord Soth.

Nui, sans yoiui vrook sui

The blade called to Soth. It was born of darkness and the Darkside as they were. The Jedi was not to be slaughtered....he was to be tortured... forever.

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios sat back in the ship. It was now in the docking bay and he was sitting there watching the gaurds line up in front of the ship. Dios opened the hatch and held his hands in the air.::
How's it goin fellas? Nice night to kidnap my friend huh? I'm here to give a little gift to Tomak. You guys now him? Heard of him?
:: He got the sense of Tomak in pain again. This would be an interesting journey. Tomak would live through it of course. The stupid vampyre never seemed to actually die.::

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak used all his energy to say these words, "You can destroy me, but one day another will be brought to the light and will have my dreams. You fool." Tomak then closed his eyes and began to slip even further into death. Where were his friends? Where was his master? Where was the courage and the power he needed to hold on? Then something...no someone crossed his mind. Azhure. He felt a new sense of energy. He could see her face smiling. He would continue and live through this for her. He said one last thing to the people who held him prisoner, "I will not die or bend to your will for I am in love. In love with a beautiful person."

OOC: Sure Lion just keep it interesting.

[Lion El' Jonson]

Tomak or Dios still hadn't returned, and Lion was getting worried.

"...something's wrong. They should be back."

Abruptly, Lion walked towards his cruiser, the Black Dawn. At 125 meters, she was one of the largest ships in the port.

"Catrina, Naomi, Brad, Jacyn, Leena... We're going for a little ride." he said to his crewmembers.

Lion hurried over to the cockpit, and engaged the repulsorlifts. With a "whirr", the Dawn lifted into the air and shot towards space as the Ion Thrusters ignited.

Lion called ahead to NR Yavin Space Command:

"I need a hyperspace probability extrapolation on a ship registered to Tomak Ohara..." as an afterthough, Lion added
"Also, give me a probability check for this ship."

Lion had noticed this ship taking off after Tomak had left.

"Got it, Black Dawn. The two ships both headed towards the same coordinates...it's the last known position of the Sanguine.

"Roger, fleet command." Lion entered the coordinates into his computer, then made the jump to hyperspace. Lion was trying to get some sleep, when something snapped in his memory...

"Delphi?" he asked, talking to the ship's computer "We're not going to the same Sanguine I'm thinking about, are we? The super capital one?"

"Sir, If my reading are correct, there is a 94.82% chance that we are headed towards that vessel..."

A few hours later, the Dawn exited from hyperpace...

Crap...

I was right...I hated it when I was right....

"GUYS, GET TO THE GUNS! I'VE GOT FIGHTERS ON MULTIPLE BEARINGS...And this huge ship blotting out HALF OF THE DAMN SUN!"

[Sanis Prent]

(I nodded)

I assume you refer to the recent arrival?

[Lion El' Jonson]

Lion was jinking his ship left and right, which wasn't easy considering it was 125 meters long. His gunners were picking off fighters left and right, but hardly seemed to be making a difference...

"Okay, Delphi, calculate a course out of here...we need to warn the GJO."

Lion continued jinking his ship left and right, trying to keep the massive ship's hyperspace inhibitors from locking onto his ship. A turbolaser blast shot out of the Sanguine, and the rear shields buckled. Then, with a sickening lurch, Lion felt his ship being reeled into the cavernous hanger by tractor beams.

"Delphi, keep the systems up. Everybody else, hide in the secret compartments...they won't find you."

Lion ordered his computer to continue firing lasers, picking off a few more fighters. Finally, the Black Dawn set down in the hanger, and Lion fingered his saber idly...he hoped there was a Sith there, to make this all worthwhile. Lion felt a blast of pain from Tomak and noticed his life sense weakening...there was very little time......

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak heard a disturbance in the docking bay and contacted Lion mentaly, "Lion turn around. Go back and get help do not ask questions just do it. Get Master Liam and Knight Xazor. If you can call my kidnapping to the attention of the council. I need help. Dios is here too. Hurry. GO!" Tomak cut off the link between them and hoped Lion would listen otherwise he might end up dead.

[Lion El' Jonson]

Lion heard Tomak's words. He seemed to be in great pain. Lion contacted Tomak with the force.

"I can't...they've got me caught in a tractor beam...but I've got a surprise for them if a Sith gets here. Soon as I get out, I'll contact the council...I'll bring whatever knights I can get...and maybe the New Republic's Yavin Defense Fleet, if they'll listen...But, Tomak, have hope."

Lion broke the connection and returned to his ship's computer...he was gonna have a little surprise in store when the bad guys showed up...

[Alana Stormcloud]

Alana turned toward her master Saurron a smiled tugging the corners of her mouth. "It seems we have more visitors. Perhaps I can take care of this little problem for you. She glanced at the fallen so called vampire and bent down. She ran her finger over his contorted features.

"Yes, your time is very short, and it will be painful. But there is no need to worry your friends will be with you when you go little one." Alana whispered. Standing she looked at Gavin. "Well, my masters son, what do you say lending a girl a helping hand? We can greet them properly together."

[Lion El' Jonson]

Lion saw them approach from his vantage point on his ship's ramp...two of them, as well as a contingent of darktroopers...

"...So, you had the courage to show up, eh?" Lion laughed. "What have you done with my friends Tomak and Dios?"

The hood of his dark green cloak was pulled over his head, casting a shadow across his face...not that they would've heard of him, but no point taking chances. Lion made sure his lightsaber was at his side, and also made sure his other "toys" were secured around his waist...he'd need them.....

[Lord Soth]

The Death Knight relinquished his death choke on the stricken jedi long enough for him to draw in a life saving breath. Soon after Saurron spoke to him in an ancient dialect that was long forgotten amongst their kind, Soth felt Tomak reach out to those that he knew were now aboard the Sanguine.

Soth's duel saber cut deeply into the man's chest, Tomak moaned in agony as he rolled to one side. The shear fury was now evident in Soth eye's as they blazed a hot red hue, illuminating his facial feature that were now contorted in a grimacing expression.

"He call's out to his friend's as if they can save him my master...Grant me the pleasure of taking his jedi soul...Let me cast him into the outer darkness that our ear's may find comfort in the wailing and gnashing of his teeth. He is not worthy to live any longer!" Soth word's were jagged and tipped with poison as he snatched the groaning creature up by the hair, straightening his haggard form enough to face the Death Knight eye to eye.

Once more the strength that was inherent to the Vampyre race welled in Soth as he laid his talon glove across Tomak's face with tremendous force. The jedi's hunched over body this time lifted off the smoothly polished floor from the ferocious blow from the Death Knight only to land and slide to an abrupt halt as the Master of the Sanguine stopped him with a black boot to the throat.

"I grow tired of toying with him my Master...Let me touch his pathetic soul and rid us of his stinking carcass once and for all from our sight!" Soth leaned his head in slightly as he spoke under a furrowed brow. Death was now at Tomak door step!...

[Lion El' Jonson]

Lion felt Tomak's anguished screams as something cut into him...

"Have faith, my friend..." Lion said, awaiting the two Vampyres...

He wished they'd hurry up, or there may no be much of a Tomak or Dios to rescue.....

(ooc: 'Night, all, don't kill me....:lol)

[Gavin LeStat]

ooc should be able to post tonight

[Lion El' Jonson]

(ooc: cool, np dude....)

[Gavin LeStat]

Gavin tilted his head with a cocky smile then straightened.

"It would be my honor my lady. He held his arm out as if escorting her to a dance. " A proper greeting I just dig those!" He said sarcastically slapping his saber and blaster with his other hand.

Gavin looked back at the wayward vampyre shook his head and proceeded up the stairs with Alana through the huge arched doors,and on to one of the landing bays.

"Hey Alana, don't those Jedi have pills they can take for times like these?"



The two rescue ships were housed in different bays. Lion just happened to be the unlucky one who drew Gavin and Alana as his hosts for the evening.

The bay almost seemed deserted to Lion. There were guards there. None he could see but he could sense them well. Then,l he heard the clacking of boots on the highly polished ebony floor. This was no ordinary bay. It was cast in a blood red hue instead of the typical star white most capital ships bore. Barrels were raised and pointed over and around Gavin and Alana in a sweeping motion as the two led the way towards the ship after leaving an elevating platform that had lowered them from the deck above. The bay door to this particular bay remained open. but were shielded magnetically.

Gavin strode to the bottom of Lion's plank and crossed his arms.

"Courage is highly over rated." Gavin said mocking Lion.

He looked Lion up and down sizing him up.

"Wouldn't you say green eyes?" Gavin leaned his head towards Alana, then winked at Lion.

Funny thing...Vampyres had excellent hearing...to say the least.

[SAURRON]

In landing bay Dios...

Forty troopers surrounded Dios as he stood on the platform of his ship.

Freeze! Drop all of your weapons!

.................................................. .................................................. .....

Meanwhile...

Saurron ground his boot heal into Tomak's throat.

Yes, Mr. Prent...I do mean that. Besides it is time for you to see what your work produces. A fanged grin ensued at this.

All of the wounds Tomak suffered were superficial however even though a Vampyre did not act like it felt pain it still could, and this one laying on the cold, hard, ebony floor would feel it like none other.


Saurron crouched down then let his whisper fall upon Tomak's ear...
Denounce the light, and the Jedi. You do not belong there. I can sense it in you...you feel it as well. What with your thirsting and such.

Saurron's voice was smooth to the ears as velvet felt to ones finger tips. Saurron paused then looked to Lord Soth who seethed with hatred for the light millennia old. Saurron's eyes turned back to Tomak who now dared to stare into the Coven Master's.

I'm afraid Soth's touch would not be a pleasant thing...even to a Vampyre.

[Sanis Prent]

(I exited the Vampyre's chambers, making my way to the landing bay that contained the other interloper's ship. As the heavy doors opened, I entered the fray. Forty of the Coven's shocktroopers had surrounded Dios's fighter, as the Jedi emerged from the craft. I watched the Jedi as he announced his arrival...interested in exactly what in his right mind he thought he was doing...or could do.)

Vampyre hunter, eh? You're in the right place then.

But I think you may have bitten off too much to chew here.

[Lion El' Jonson]

Lion was surprised, but he quickly hid it...he dropped the hood of his cloak and readied his weapons

"I can't compete with you in verbal sparring...your head is so blown-up that I doubt the words will penetrate your skull...but I can do lightsaber duels..."

With those words, Lion ran forward, igniting his saber as he went, ready to slice apart the foolish beings in front of him...he went for the male.....Lion knew he couldn't defeat them, but he didn't have to win for his plan to work out....

[Alana Stormcloud]

Alana grinned at Gavin, her teeth fully extended her eyes glowed with an unholy light at the though of the upcoming blood shed. There was nothing sweeter than the blood of a Jedi.

"I can say this for them, Gavin, they do so love to get into impossible situations. Alana watch as the Mortal raced toward them ready to defend his friends and his life. He raced toward death and suffering. Alana glanced over to her Masters son. "Here comes dinner." She said chuckling softly...

[Gavin LeStat]

Gavin cowered covering his head with his arms in what seemed to be complete fear. His body crouched and shrunk away from the charging lion.

"NOOOOO!!! DON'T HURT ME!!!!!! He shouted.

As Lion closed to within footsteps Gavin rose to meet the Jedi's blade with a blood red blade of his own. He held him in check, laughed, then forced Lion backward onto the plank of his own ship with shear strength creating distance between them.

"Yeah baby!!!." Gavin shouted as he spun his saber so fast it appeared it was a full circle of light for a few rotations.

"Silly human! Gavin shouted, "Ladies first, don't they teach you anything?" Gavin asked with half a laugh sarcastically.

Then the lights went out in the bay and the stars outside the magnetic shield seemed to grow in size and brightness as Lion's eyes adjusted...

[Lion El' Jonson]

"Crap, I can't see anything..."

Lion pulled out a pair of sunglasses, though they weren't really sunglasses. Pushing a button on the side, the night-vision filters kicked on, and Lion could see perfectly again, though everything had a slighly green tint...

"Ha, that's much better..."

Lion charged back at the Vampyre, intent on slitting his throat. His lightsaber, the Shadowbane, ignited once again, a foot and a half in width and almost as tall as Lion...his lightsaber was no ordinary one.

"Yes, they did teach me ladies first...that's why I'm going after YOU!"

Lion chopped straight down towards the man...Gavin, the other had called him...then rolled out of the way as the Vampyre effortlessly blocked his blow...

"MAN, what do I have to do to beat this guy?!"

[Dios Kane]

ooc- ... Lion, I have to say... you've out done yourself. I could've handled it but now I'm not sure if I'd mind seeing you suffer with me and Tomak or not, lol... oh yeah, and no help from the GJO yet, I wanna get hurt a little bit, you guys jump the gun too fast.

:: Dios saw Tomak's supposed body gaurd enter and he gave him a smile that said, "no hard feelings you son of a..." Dios didn't have time for this, he had time and pain to worry about and he was relying on his first trick up his sleeve. Well, really on his finger. He got down from the ship as the soldier instructed and stood as the guy held a rifle to his face.::
You know, you said drop all my weapons-
:: Dios quickly moved his head as the gaurd tried to shut him him up with the rifle::
But I'm not holding any. Well... not really.
:: Dios flicked the ring off his finger into the middle of the gaurds::
Night Fall!
:: The ring blew up as Crono had said it would, perfect. It was like a grenade. Gaurds flew in every direction as Dios ducked he drew his gun and shot the gaurds across the room with his impact bullets and then turned around to Sanis Prent. He leveled the gun with Sanis.::
And how might you be this evening? Nevermind, I don't care. I have very little time before more gaurds come and I have money to pay you later if you can help me. If not... well... that'd suck but anyways.
:: Dios knelt down to the gaurds as he came closer to Sanis. He searched the gaurds for anything useful, he rushed knowing as he had said. Gaurds would come. Maybe something worse, and to solve that he grabbed more rings from inside his jacket and slid them to each entrance into the hangar.::
Like I said, I'll pay you if you tell me where Tomak is, exactly. I'm going off on a guess here that you want money because you look like it and you haven't drawn a saber yet.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak felt the pain of his friends,"You bastard! Leave them alone. I will never join you and your ways. I love being a jedi. I am pushing for a better race. I want a peaceful vampiric race. As for my hunger I can control it. I am a peaceful warrior, saving the universe from the corruption that you represent. One day my queen and I will create a better race. That day will be better than any other. My sister and my father loved my reasons and supported me. You are impure not me." Tomak looked at Saurron and before he knew what happened Tomak felt the boot on his throat. This was it he needed the help of his friends and his master his training could not get him out of this. Then he thought his master Liam. He connected to the force and sent him a message, "Master Jinn it is I Tomak. Help me. I have been kidnapped by Sanis. I am dying. The vampyres have me hostage. Dios and Lion are here. Help me. Find me please. Bring Azhure and Xazor and anyone else you can bring. Dios and Lion are fighting for there lives. Help me.....Master." Tomak cut the communication and stared back at Saurron.

[Liam Jinn]

Liam had been in the middle of going over possible lessons for the GJO Warriors with Xaz when he heard Tomak's call for help. He looked to Xazor and smiled.

"Well, I think this is going to have to wait for now. My padawan needs some help. Would you mind comming with me?"

Before letting her reply, he began to think out loud.

"He said something about Vamps holding him hostage...Who are the Vamps these days?"

[Xazor Elessar]

Xazor rose to her feet immediatly at word that her friend was being held hostage. A deep, audible growl could be heard from Xazor as she looked at the floor for a moment. Her mind flashed back to a man......

"Saurron......"

The abhorred...... she thought to herself. Sighing, she began to head for the docking bay. She knew what this meant....and it was not good.

"Come on Liam.......we don't have time. The life of my friend is in danger......"

[Liam Jinn]

Liam smiled then nodded.

"Ah, yes...Saurron is still around then?" He paused, thinking briefly. "Well, this could prove to be very interesting then."

As they reached the docking bay he looked around.

"Who's ship shall we take? Yours?"

[Xazor Elessar]

Xazor nodded and walked over to her ship. She was tired of the Vamps walking on everyone. She opened the hatch to the cockpit and hopped in, not paying much attention to Liam. She set the ignition sequence.....but it didn't work.

"Damnit!"

The Knight slammed her fist down against the control panel and it suddenly kicked in. A series of lights flashed in order and the ship came to life with a low grumbling sound. With a flip of a few switches, the hatch came down and they began to taxi toward the bay doors. Suddenly Xazor slammed down on the control stick and they blasted out of the doors with a blink of an eye.

"Sorry......."

She did not know exactly what she was apologizing for....but she felt it necessary. They began to climb out of the gravitational hold of Arcan and suddenly two loud booms were heard.

BOOM!!
BOOM!!

The sonic booms occured when they broke through the sound barrier. Xazor smiled and pulled down on the controls....then blasted out of the gravitational pull......and entered hyperspace.

[Sanis Prent]

(In the chaoes of the explosion, I activated my microfield generator, drawing my shell gun as it charged. Now we had a standoff...and the Jedi tried to buy his way out of this mess. It was only natural to try...but Jedi weren't very good businessmen.)

Sorry, but bidding's closed on this auction. I'm not about to switch sides for a few more credits...its bad for future business.

(I took aim with my shell gun)

I'd say to ask me first, next time...but there isn't gonna be much of a next time.

(I discharged the right barrel, sending a red shape-charge shell careening at Dios)

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios had listened to Sanis and had known it was worth a try and if it didn't work, well, damn. He then saw him fire off his gun and had a second to react. Normally, he'd take the laser beam and keep ging but the discharge hadn't sounded like a laser pistol. Dios barely dodged the bullet in time. Jedi training paid off. He ran forward and reached for his lightsaber as he returned his own firepower. Nine high impact bullets ripped the air as he charged forward. He only hoped that his opponent's shots weren't explosive.::

[SAURRON]

Saurron stared, unblinking in return. Then his fangs began to show in delight as he picked up the name Xazor.

Now your thoughts have betrayed you, and your sister Jedi. Perhaps finally you will see the weakness you will forever suffer from what you inspire to be.

Saurron stood glancing at Soth who was at this point chomping at the bit so to speak.

So you see my apprentice in blood, the timeline cut short...well...would have been cut short. Now the Garou will come to us, but let us speed things up a bit shall we?

Saurron's pale skin extended from his long draping cloaks in a clawed hand over Tomak.

Now feel the pain of the Darkside for yourself.

Bright blue arcs mixed with stark white leapt forth from Saurron's finger tips, and slammed into Tomak's body casting brilliant flashes around the otherwise dead room. Some bounced away only to realign themselves with him and hit somewhere else along his body. The crackling of the air as the warped abomination that is Force Lightning echoed throughout Saurron's chamber. Bright reflections rebound from the Coven troopers ebony helms as they stared on watching Tomak roll in pain as if on fire and trying to himself out.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak could feel an amazing amount of pain and suffering. Xazor and Liam needed to hurry. He was dying. He used some of his energy to stand and look at Saurron and say,"Never will I give in to you. I will never be your apprentice! You are scum and I am a Jedi. I am a Jedi and my son will be one and his son and so on. Each time we will stop someone like you from ruining our peaceful life." Tomak fell to the ground and felt more pain through his body. Hurry friends I need your help.

[Liam Jinn]

Liam looked out of the cockpit as the stars turned into lines. He reached out through the force and didn't feel his padawan anywhere. The force would hopefully guide them to his location, though an uneasy feeling grew in the pit of the Jedi Masters stomach.

"Xaz, how are we going to go about rescuing Tomak? Negotiation first, and if that fails use force?"

[Xazor Elessar]

Xazor shook her head and continued flying through hyperspace. She was deep in thought and slightly in meditation. She felt her friend's pain through the Force.....something she was good at doing even without a lifebond with that person.

"No, I'm using force first......you can do whatever you want."

She said through clenched teeth. Growling audibly once again, she exposed her elongatec canines and thought about the...beast....that was holding Tomak captive. She thought of the things she would like to do to him.....but knew she couldn't. Revenge was not of the Jedi.....she was a Warrior and through much experience, she had come to learn that negotiating with these.....beings.......things......did not work at all......

[Lord Soth]

A slow and deep sinister laugh filled Saurron's obsidian like chamber as the Death Knight looked on in pleasure at Tomak's expense. How it all seemed appropriate in the end for the ill fated jedi...The smell of electricity when it burns at a point to hot lofted about the darkened room. Flashes from the lethal blue tendrils from Saurron's extended hands caused the chamber shadow's to dance and strobe in a serial manner, lending to an overwhelming evil that Tomak had never experienced before...Felt before!

Tomak's tender flesh was seared and scorched from every lashing strand as it made contact with his prone body. His precious life force was being extinguished at every passing moment, mingling on the still air of the room in exchange for his fading life as a jedi. The putrid odor of burnt flesh filled the Master Vampyre nostril's like a sickly sweet fragrance only he seemed to find settling for the moment...But yet at the same time, unsatisfied with.

Soth's duel green saber's retracted in a hiss, easing slowly back to the hilt's that bore them life. The Death Knight had something far more hideous in store for the creature at his master's feet. He would take from him the essence that bound his spirit and mind as one...Tomak's soul!

Within the fold's of Soth black Sith robe was the answer to all of Tomak's pain and misery. A pale hand clutched it gently as it was pulled from it's confines, glistening as it was brought forth from it's resting place. The three inch black sphere pulsated to life as Soth called to the Dark-side. His low indiscernible word's were whispered word's of power that the other's about the room where seemingly distracted from at the moment as Tomak's wale's of agony rang in the ear's of the onlookers.

"Nostfurum dolst ulen invae..."

The unremarkable obsidian like sphere Soth produced reached it's zenith of color in deep purple hue's as he spoke the ancient word's of Sith Magic. The "Black Orb" then seemingly dissipated within the palm of the Death Knight's right hand moment's later, as if it were a hologram that was never there. Soth approached the carnage that Saurron was reeking on Tomak. Saurron's Vampiric teeth glowed from the illumination of each flash from the deadly Sith Lighting. The grimacing mask he now wore exuded with hateful intent as the energy flowed from his Vampyre finger tip's...

"Before you take him my Master, grant me the request of presenting his tainted soul to you as a gift to be long cherished!" The Death Knight's smooth word's reached Saurron's mind, almost drowned out by the scream's and crackling of lighting that coursed relentlessly over Tomak's body.

[Liam Jinn]

He looked at Xaz and smiled.

"Force it is then. I already fear that our presence is expected...Can you tell where he is?"

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak heard that his soul was going to be taken. His eyes filled with horror. Where would his feelings for Azhure go, he would no longer have ambition to be a jedi! This was horrible. Please hurry my friends. Tomak felt his flesh sear from the pain and before his soul was taken he would say one thing. He connected with Soth and Saurron, "I have something to say. Take my soul but when my friends kill you tell them I care about them very much. Tell Xazor to tell Azhure I love her. Tell her that if I never find peace again that Azhure is the one I want to spend my life with. You vile scum will pay for your crimes. I hope you rot in hell!" Tomak disconnected the message and realized somehow he had also connected with Liam and Xazor. He wondered where they were. Where were his friends. Before Tomak passed out he heard some voices.

"Do not give up my son." It was his father, and then there was another voice,"Tomak, brother, fight these fiends and give the race we always dreamed of a chance." His sister this time, and then one last voice,"I love you Tomak. You were my child and I miss you very much. My heart burns with sorrow to see you like this." His mother had contacted him from the other world. He passed out with a vision of his family and Azhure standing beside him. There were members in his family that he had never seen, and then he realized all the friends he had made since he had joined the jedi were like family to him. He passed out and realized he was on the brink of death.

[Xazor Elessar]

Xazor nodded as they continued through hyperspace. They were nearing their destination.....she could feel it.

"Oh yes......I know where he is. I too have a feeling that they are expecting us."

Suddenly the ship jolted out of hyperspace.....in what seemed the middle of no where. She looked about, confused.....


ooc: I left it like that because I can't remember if they're on a planet or a huge ship! :lol Sorry about that.....

[Sanis Prent]

(Unfortunately for Dios, the shell was explosive...and packed a whallop. Though the Jedi had deftly dodged it, the shaped charge shell exploded in an ear-splitting blast behind him, just as he opened fire on me. The explosion's shockwave hit him fully in the back, throwing him forward and altering his shot trajectory, causing him to miss wildly. I took the second's worth of disorientation to my advantage, slinging my ionian spacer's jacket off in a fluid motion, and powering up the gravimetric boost pack I wore on my back. With a reverberating hum, it charged, kicking a small amount of debris away from me. The booster was a less volatile cousin of a mandalorian jetpack, allowing the user to distort his local gravity at will. I sprung forward, jumping a ridiculously long distance toward Dios, snapping his chin back with a flying kick. As he recoiled, I pulled out my twin corellian blasters, raining hell down on him as I descended across the opposite side of the hangar.)

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios took the kick with a loud snap to his neck. That had hurt. Dios looked up to see the merc draw his blasters and begin to fire. This would be nice. Dios opened to the force and felt the lasers rip through the space around him. It looked like a dance to Sanis but Dios was doin pretty good so far dodging them. But he couldn't keep this up. Dios could sense the gaurds coming as well. He needed a distraction. As he tried to dodge he yelled.::
Night Fall!
:: All the activated rings he had thrown to the doors went off and the explosions shook the room. Dios lost his balance dodging the fire from his opponent and was met with instant pain. Lasers seared through his shoulder and leg. The pain was crazy as three more pierced him like hot fire. This was not his day. He lay on the ground as debris flew every which way. He had little time. Between the smoke and scorch marks he couldn't see his enemy. He leaned up against a nearby wall and watched the holes in his skin slowly bind. So much pain for the holy water to heal, so many wounds. The merc would find him soon. He didn't have much time. He wanted a drink. He wanted to be in a bar with a drink in his hand, but no. he was here, gettin the life shot out of him by some two faced merc who had vampnapped nhis best friend. He slowly began to stand up. Then he slid back down. That had hurt just to try. He'd find the guy through this mess eventually, or maybe Dios was lucky enough that the explosions had scared him off. Fat chance.::
Come out come out wherever you are... Olly olly oxen free!

[Sanis Prent]

(The multiple concussive blasts rocked the hangar, causing me to temporarily lose my footing. As I got back up, the majority of the hangar bay was cast in a pall of smoke...creating a lull in the action. I moved forward slowly, clicking open the breech of my shell gun, and sliding an orange shell into the empty barrel, next to a blue one. Snapping the weapon closed with a flick of my wrist, I slowly lowered myself into a prone position, parallel to the base of a hoist rig. I turned around the corner of the machinery at the sound of Dios's voice, using the lower vantage point to see below the rising smoke in the room.

...There he was, against the far wall. Placing my shell gun back into its loop holster, I removed my ornate Duronian handblaster, unscrewing the front of its barrel and extending the telescoping piece to its full length of half a meter. With the added accuracy of the elongated barrel, I leveled it in the crook of my free arm, drawing a bead on Dios's figure. Without a second thought, I squeezed the trigger...)

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios had sensed the suspension from the silence. He'd had to jerk himself into movement before a bullet shredded his left shoulder. It simply tore it part. His arm was barely hanging there. He would've complained but he didn't have time. He had to move. The shot had come from a distinct direction, he knew that much, he had to hide himself from whatever view this guy might have had on him. He cold barely stand up but he managed. The pain was unbelievable. He wouldn't be surprised if he was crying, it'd heal. He slumped over to a door covered with wall paneling, he used the force to strengthen his one good arm and get enough power to move the panelling out of the way. He got the door open and slowly hobbled into the hallway. He had to get away from that guy. Dios wasn't the best, that guy could be a good running chance for it though, Dios would let him have the reward, he just wanted to keep his arm a little longer. He looked at it. The shoulder and arm were slowly, oh so slowly, soming together. And it hurt a lot too. He could see the muscle fibers binding to their normal state. He'd get another scar from this. But now he had to find Tomak and run. He reached inside his jacket and got his rings. He lugged one down each branch of the hall way and activated them with a nice explosion. This was probably doing wonders to the ship. He took the hallway from which he hadn't heard the most yells of gaurds. Hopefully that guy wouldn't be coming after him. He dropped a ring by the door just in case.::

[Sanis Prent]

(From down low, I could see every step he took, until he disappeared past the far doorway. Rising to a crouch, I pursued from a distance, until I heard a series of blasts. He'd used the tactic before. He apparently had a large number of explosives, and was using them to deter a counter-attack. In the open of the hangar, it was useless to stop me. But add a bottleneck, and the Jedi bomber had an edge. It was a hunch worth pursuing. I pulled my shell gun, firing the blue shell into the doorway. The shell's magnetic barrier pressed the smoke from its path like a wind tunnel, and blew back any debris in its path...including the ring Dios had tossed down. It impacted against the far wall, and my hunch was confirmed in a flashing bloom of explosive energy. As the smoke and debris cleared, I pursued once again. He'd bought himself some time, but not much else.)

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios was just about to lock the door to the hallway he'd chosen when he saw a door go flying by the intersection he'd just been in. Then a flash and a large boom and Dios guessed that was his ring. Worth a try. He quickly closed the door and locked it. The merc would have to waste time checking each hallway from the intersection if he wanted to find Dios now. And Dios still couldn't believe how long it was taking his arm to heal. That bullet had really done it. He pulled out one of his many flasks and poured the liquid on the floor. It was clear so his pursuer would have to look really hard to see it but once he touched the stuph, he'd be hopin that he had seen it before. Dios had made this concoction in his sink, it was meant to be a drink but it had turned out to be a good glue in the end. Dios tried to run but his wounds were too bad at the moment, he had to rush though, this guy was unstoppable it seemed. Dios laid a ring don just at the corner of the next turn in the hallway. The merc wouldn't see it until he was too late. Dios hoped. He hobbled down the turn then found a elevator. He opened the door and was relieved to see no one in there. He went inside then pressed the button for the bridge. He figured that'd be a good place to start his search to find Tomak.::

[Sanis Prent]

(The road to Dios was an easy one. I took the only path that hadn't been tattooed with a grenade's scorch mark. It led me to a locked door, which was conveniently unlocked with the application of another shape charge shell. As the debris of the vaporized door settled, I entered, noting the only item of interest down this hallway, on a nearby sign. I may have been behind on the trail, but my mind was light-years ahead of him. I turned back in the opposite direction, running toward the next available turboshaft conduit. As I did so, I tapped my comm into the Sanguine's frequency, allowing me to interface with Saurron's subordinates.)

He's in lift 38-Alpha-C. Shut down the lift and seal him off.

[Lion El' Jonson]

Lion was laying on the hangar floor, panting...he was about to be killed....or a least, the vampyres thought he was....

In truth, Lion was making sure his comlink was on in preparation for the biggest light show in history...

"You guys want my last words? Fine...Alpha-Delta-07"

Lion could tell the bad guys were confused...their faces were almost humorous...but with a single beep of recognition from the Black Dawn, Lion knew it had worked. He sprung himself up on his hands and began dashing towards his ship, hitting the female vampyre in the side with a well placed kick...and then, the real fight began...

His ship, acting on his secret recognition defense code, lowered its ramp...14 hidden blasters dropped from the bottom of the hull and began spitting fire in every direction, shooting at everything but him...all around troopers went down in heaps.

Lion lept into his ship and ran to the pilot's seat. His crew and his computer, Delphi, were already manning the turbolasers...the quad turbolaser on top of his ship fired a round directly into a stack of barrels, and there was a deafening explosion.

"How's that for your enhanced hearing, losers?" he yelled, and he slammed the thrusters to full, beaking through the magnetic containment field...he hoped that he could get back to the academy....

(ooc: sorry, I've been away, also, sorry for the long response.....)

[SAURRON]

http://www.boomspeed.com/sarilestat/covenpilot5..jpg

Tracking ship transponder code Back Dawn. Define target. Computer lock on. Fire.

Tie Defenders fell about the now loose ship Black Dawn. Multiple laser blasts rocked it back and forth with hits and misses about it's hull as it fled from the open bay door.

The Black Dawn's engines wined as the ship barreled through several tractor beams aimed at reeling him back in. To his amazement the Sanguine did not follow. It shadow loomed, just as it did when he entered the sector. Then a startling reality hit Lion as he had all but a few Tie Defenders behind him now and readied for hyper space.

There were two ships here. Lion's ships cockpit lights blinked wildly as audible alarms sounded warning of possible collision. Collision with what? Then real space blurred and became distorted in front of his very eyes revealing an Interdictor Heavy Cruiser.

The Despondent's four gravity wells were active as well as the Sanguines making the field totally immense. Lion was in for a long ride, or a short one depending on how you looked at the situation.

[SAURRON]

Lift 38-Alpha-c first grew dark then stopped moving with a jerk. Not even the backup lighting came on. It was pitch black...

A voice came back to Sanis.

Lift 38 dash Alpha dash C is shut down. Proceed.

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios sat in the darkness and smiled. He'd be waiting for them, anytime he was ready. His bare shoulder would be seen when they arrived and he'd be fully healed with only a few scars on it. He didn't want to riskbreaking out of the lift, that'd be too easy for them to crush him he figured. All he really could do was wait and time was obviously something he had to make do with for now. He tried to block out the link with Tomak. The pain was a little on the bad side he figured. Dios was bored he pulled out his flask and took a drink. A long one at that.::

[Lion El' Jonson]

Lion noticed the Interdictor coming in from hyperspace...

"Hah, suckers...."

Lion turned his ship so that it pointed directly at the Interdictor...It wouldn't be around much longer... The massive turbolaser on topof his ship continue spitting fire, picking off Tie Defenders while his two missile launchers opened their tubes...

"Delphi, give me coordinates for that Interdictor's Grav-Well generators."

His computer acknowledged, and 10 solid cones appeared on the display, as well as 4 more hazy cones from the interdictor...if he could get rid of the interdictor, Lion could escape, since the Sanguine didn't have enough speed to catch him...

"Ready, crew...let's do this!"

Lion punched the boosters on his ship, and 4 more emergency engines came online, bringing his ship to the speed of a Y-Wing. Simultaneously, Lion punched in a code on his weapons console, and the words H.A.L.O appeared on the screen. H.A.L.O stood for (H)ighly (A)dvanced (L)ocking (O)rdinance system, and was his secret weapon.

When H.A.L.O was triggered, it unleashed close to 80 missiles and torpedoes on anywhere from 1 to 20 targets...it was rare, useful, and cost his entire monthly salary to reload...bu it meant survival.

As he rapidly neared the interdictor, he noticed that the Sanguine's projectors were out of range...all he needed to do was kill the interdictor...

"Alright, boys...goodbye!" he said as he triggered the button...all over his ship, armored plates slid away and a barrage of ordinance was unleashed towards the interdictor...and was immediately targeted by the interdictor...the ship's twenty guns easily picked off at least 40 of the weapons, and of the remaining ten torpedoes, only three got through the shields. He watched the three pathetic explosions and knew they wouldn't be enough...but they had distracted the enemy long enough for a jump to lightspeed...


With a feeling of guilt, Lion pulled on the hyperspace lever and the stars expanded around him, and with a whine of tortured engines, the Dawn burst into hyperspace, leaving his friends behind...Lion had to get help, now....

[Ki-Adi Kindo]

The Glory, an advanced Naboo starfighter, was making it's galaxy cruise around like usual. The pilot, none other than Kindo himself. It gave him a chance to relax and calm down. All of the sudden his calmness shattered when he felt a great disturbance in the Force. It pouned into his mind like a hammer. It was then out of nowhere, the largest Star Destroyer he has ever seen. Was it Imperial? He turne don his Wave Recepter R9, and it picked up vauge transmitions of Tomak being in custody of vampires. Wasn't Tomak a vampire, and what was this ship? He drew closer to the ship, hoping to get some answers. He needed to be careful, he could be drawn in by a Tractor Beam, so he had to take his chances. He approcahed the ship.

[Xazor Elessar]

ooc: Dunno where I am anymore..... :lol Okay, I'll post.

ic:

Xazor then looked up and saw something quite terrifying.......a huge ship. She gasped slightly and grabbed Liam's arm, pointing upwards with her free hand.

"We've found our friend......"

She said softly and then set the comm for the nearest channel. Once locked on, she lifted it up and eyed the ship before pressing the send button.

"This is Escape, we seek clearance please."

She said through the comm and pressed a few buttons on the control panel of the X-Wing Fighter. Sje grinned to herself as she pressed the correct clearance code for anywhere in the galaxy.....something a dear friend had once taught her. Now she waited.....

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak felt the presence of Liam and the presenceof Xazor as well. Now there was another Kindo. They all did not realize the fate that awaited them. Dios was already in trouble. This could be very bad. Tomak began to cry, not for himself but for his freinds. Tomak sent out a message to everyone there, Kindo, Xazor, Dios, Liam, and Lion, "I am sorry I have failed you friends. Just like I failed my people so many years ago. I am sorry Master. I am sorry I could not watch as we all grew old together." Tomak cried even more. Tomak stood up and put his fistrs up. "You are a vampire are you not. You have pride like me. Then if you want to stop me fight me. You know the ancient art of the Vampire, right. I will fight you. Do you accept my challenge, coward!" Tomak put his hands up and got in a position. He was sweating and bleeding profusely. He could see the blood hit the ground, and the sweat stung his eyes. He had no choice but to fight. He tightened his headband and opened his eyes. He would fight or die trying.


OOC: DO NOT KILL ME!!!!!

[Ki-Adi Kindo]

Kindo heard his Tomak's words which made him all the more dedicated to find Tomak and get him out of their. He then paused for a minute at what he had heard. Xazor? Liam? It was then when spotted what seem to be a another ship heading for the large destroyer. It could be them? He sent out a reading of the ship, and sure enough, it was them. Liam Jinn and Xazor Leo Dawnstrider. They would be stronger has a team though. Kindo's ship had a special feature that allowed him to dock on small ships and board them. He sent out a message to the ship and picked up a connection.

" Xazor? Liam? If that is you two all ow me to dock on your ship. You two could use another to help. It will take longer for other Jedi to arrive, and we will be so much stronger toghether. "

He wasn't sure if they picked up the message, but if they did he would soon get a reply. He had established an electronical connection with them. Now he could only wait.

[Sanis Prent]

OOC: Lion, your attack on the interdictor was borderline godmoding. Even if your personal craft can hold that many missiles, its not legal to destroy a ship like that in a 1 post attack.

IC:

(A phalanx of ebony-armored soldiers arrived at the frozen turboshaft hatch. I kept up with them by correspondence, as I headed to the intersecting junction three stories above. Their CO gave the order, and arc cutters were applied to the door, vaporizing its outer edges in a slow, methodical breech. Jimmying my way through the access hatch on my deck, I stared down the turboshaft, the light from the arc cutters flickering against the metal walls.)

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios lifted his head to the door. He looked ahead and heard noises infront him. Here they come. He put away his flask and stood up. This would be either really funny or really stupid. Dios drew his saber and awaited the oncoming people.::

[Lord Soth]

Saurron paused at Soth word's to him...He knew within the Death Knight there was a passion and burning to please him as such. Saurron lowered his head slightly, still looking at Soth from under his brow's...His wicked eye's telling the Death Knight of his approval as they conveyed his point alone. Saurron knew full well what the Death Knight was capable of in this innate craft he wielded. What his mysterious but deadly touch entailed when placed upon a victim of choice.

Both Master Vampyre's smiled at one another in seething delight. Soth then quickly closed in on Tomak, seizing him in a powerful grip that held him fast within the deadly clutches of the Death Knight of old...Tomak's body arched in agony as Soth placed his right hand over the man's heart. Tomak's eye's rolled back in his head as only the white's of them could now be seen...The orb that the Death Knight held in his other hand began to glow and ebb with a ghastly violet light. Soth chanted an ancient dialect of powerful Sith Magic that was foreign to all who heard and watched, other then his Master who now looked on with curious pleasure.

Tomak's body began to convulse as the desired effect reeked havoc on his mind and body. However, it was not the carnal shell or mind that Soth sought after...It was his untainted soul!

"Nostrum ohm brasdos nephrum..." The Death Knight word's slowly but surly grew to a fevered pitch. Unholy stream's of deep blue light shot from Tomak's eye's as he gasped. Light spilled from his mouth as it opened in a silent cry. Soth's ivory fang's glistened as he clutched at Tomak's chest, his Vampyre talon's tearing into his flesh, deeper and deeper at each passing moment. The shimmering blue tendrils of light began to swirl over the head's of the two men where it then slowly funneled into the black orb that Soth held within his left hand. The reaper of innocent soul's leaned in closely to Tomak's ear as whispered word's filled his confused and tormented mind.

"This night is only the beginning of your suffering...jedi! Your feeble heart and broken mind is but only a step away from the true power of the dark-side...I have now taken from you the purest quality of what make's you what you are...Your soul!" Soth mocking word's cut at Tomak's mind as he gloated over him. And in that very moment as the Death Knight finished his poisonous word's, Tomak's eye's, the window's to his now lost soul glazed over in pool's of inky blackness. His innocence now taken, stripped from him against his own will. The very fabric of Tomak's conscious was now for Soth to do with as he pleased!...Vanquished and imprisoned within the "Soul Orb" that now housed it for Saurron's wicked bidding...

Tomak's body slumped to the floor in a heap at Soth's feet. He felt lifeless and oddly enough, unconcerned to what his future fate might bring him now...

"Most precious are the thing's we take for granted jedi. Only when it is far to late do we mourn for what is forever lost...No one can save you now." The Death Knight's cryptic word's were calm and smooth this time. But they where also tipped with sarcasm and disdain as he looked down at Tomak's pathetic form that was now curled in a fetal position...Soth eye's then slowly trailed over to Saurron's...All was quite within the room at that moment. A deep and disturbing wave permeated throughout the light-side of the Force to those who were friend's of the man who laid upon the black polished floor.

"It is finished my Master...His soul now belongs to you..."

[Ki-Adi Kindo]

Kindo was waiting for a tranmission from the other Jedi, waiting in the comfortable cockpit of his jet. In a split second, Kindo felt great emotional pain, excrutiating and acidic. He sped up his ship, for he knew that pain was none other than Tomak's. Tomak and Kindo were very great friends, and Kindo would not allow the pain to continue. He cut off his radio, preventing messages from being recieved. The other Jedi would not be able to reach him, but he could not wait. After about 15 minutes, he was at last able to dock on in one of the loading areas. It seem to pull him in, instead of his ship steering itself in. He was anxious, but he kept his mind clear. His ship finally landed, resting in one of the hangars. He then got out of his ship, keeping quiet of any troops or guards. He approached the side of his ship and with the mentioning of a word, out emerged a compartment full of weopons. He put over his standard black uniform his weopons belt. Now to put on the weopons. On his left he clipped on his lightsaber, on his right in a holster he put his blaster, over his back he put in a laser crossbow on the straps, he put in a few small explosives in one of the pockets on his belt, and near and on the far left behind his lightsaber he put in a small but lethal flamethrower. He was now ready to look for Tomak has he approcahed the hangar entrace doors.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak awoke to a world very diffrent. The scars still burned on his body. The blood no longer rushed through his veins. Was he dead? All he could see was darkness. All he could hear was the laughter of the two vampires over him. He could no longer feel anything. His body was trying slowly to piece itself back together. He was trying to heal and fast. Yet his regeneration seemed slowed and his heart did not beat as fast. Yet there was only one thought in his mind...food. Tomak opened his eyes. He still could not see....was he blind? Tomak could feel a very small shred of himself somewhere in his body and before he went where he knew he was going he sent out one last message to all the Jedi in the Sanguine and all the ones back at the Academy, "I am sorry. I tried to fight the evil, but it was to no avail. I have lost my soul and will try to feed. You must protect the innocent. Dios do not worry about me. I will try my hardest to retain my humanity. Xazor and Liam thank you for everything. I hope when I return with my soul you will take me back. Lion and Kindo, you were not called to my aid, but you came, thank you. I hope that one day I will see you again. Now I have one more order....no a wish. Knock me out no matter how much pain it causes me," Tomak felt himself slipping, "Take me to my old castle and leave me there. I will travel for my soul. Those who wish to come with me may not do so. I must do this on my own. I will return when I can. By the way, tell Azhure I love her, and Liam give her my necklace. It was my mothers tell her no matter where I am I am there to protect her. Thank you again my friends." Tomak felt his humanity pull from his body and then he felt emptiness all around. Tomak could then truly only think of one thing....FOOD! None the less hopefully his messages would spare his life and they would do as he said.

[Sanis Prent]

OOC: Dios...the people are in front of you, not above :p

IC:

(The door to the turboshaft blasted apart in a shower of sparks, followed by rapid, intense fire from the raiding squad.)

[Lion El' Jonson]

(ooc:Sorry, Sanis, you can yank me out of hyperspace now, I never intended for that to be posted,,,my comp froze when I was typing that one, and I guess I hit send fast enough...I was pissed of at my comp, so I just said that I'd reply tomorrow, I was sorta daydreaming about incinerating that ship, since the Vamps got me in such a big damn trap...I'll edit the post right now...by the way, can I eat Roddy or not?)

"Gah, Oh crap!' Lion yelled, as his ship was yanked out of hyperspace by the interdictor...apparently, the missiles hadn't done as much damage as he had thought. As he was peppered with fire from the Interdictor's lasers, he noticed other ships...it looked like the rescue squad had arrived, afterall....With a lurch, Lion was drawn in once again by the Sanguine, into the same blaster-scarred hangar that he had left...but there wasn't a welcoming committee.....

[Dios Kane]

ooc ( hehe, I fixed that sorry :D)

:: Dios had pulled the old holdin on to the ceiling trick for his dear life, unfortaunately his trench coat had hung down and had gotten even more repairable damage done to it. He'd need to go shopping when he got back. He swung down right into the group of gaurds, knocking most of them over. He drew his saber and started slicing and dicing. These guys were tough, they kicked and punched and gave up a great fight in the end with their guns as clubs but they were no match Dios and his saber, Drinking angel. He had mostly cut off limbs and such, stabbing where it seemed most unlikely that they wouldn't die from it. He looked around when he was finished, where was the merc? He had to be around somewhere? Probably waitin around the corner with those blasters of his or some other devilish device of war he might have. Dios tossed a ring either way down the hall and ignited them both. This wasn't his ship. What did he care if he made a few wall decorations here and there. And then he felt it. Tomak... he wasn't the same anymore, he really couldn't feel him like he had before. He was empty... Dios had felt that before... in the vampyres that were bad... really bad. Dios felt like his duty was upon him once again. He was a vampyre hunter, slayer, and redeemer.
Dios also knew that he was a jedi, and that his job was to help those in need, and right now, Tomak needed him. Just like he had needed Tomak not too long ago. Tomak had represented something evil but was acknowledged as a unique person and ray of hope. It was Dios' turn to be the ray of hope. He was a bit shaken by the fact that Tomak could turn on him, but he wanted to be the redeemer this time, the one to save people, the one to save a friend. He turned towards the calling of Tomak, he could sense two very powerful entities with him, also vamps. But what about the merc? Was he still there right behind him? What should he do? He couldn't sense any light side anywhere? WHERE WAS IT? He needed more support or something, he thought he'd sensed Lion earlier but now? He kept on going in the direction of Tomak as he tried to reach out with the force.::

[Lion El' Jonson]

With a thump, the Dawn set down in the hangar, which was still devoid of people...

'Where the hell is everyone?" Lion though out loud...

"Oh well..." he said as he ran down the ship's ramp, making sure that he made no sound at all,,,somewhere, there were the Vampyres...and Tomak, who was in unimaginable pain...

[Ki-Adi Kindo]

Kindo walked into the entrance, looking around and scanning the perimiter. He began walking down the hall in the direct manner of stealth. He spotted two guards begining to catch a curve and head his way. He leaped up and held on to a ventilation shaft pipe, waiting for them to walk by. Sure enough they came around the corner and began walking underneath him. He dropped down on them, bringing his hands downs on their heads, sending them crashing to the floor unconcious. He kept walking until he heard more guards coming around the distance. They would see the bodys! He immediatly noticed their blasters, so he removed his blaster from its holster and took aim. They now were in his sight, and their were four of them, all with blasters. He took a shot at one in the arm and the other in the upper leg. The other two stood back firing, so he threw a small explosive at them. This made them fall unconious, but it wasn't fatal. He continued walking, searching for Tomak.

[Lord Soth]

OOC: Tomak..Listen, no offense bro...But I've noted that your running your CHR as though he has taken minute damage by the way he up and about talking and thinking as though he's ready to retaliate...What has happened to your CHR is not only traumatic...It's extremely confusing as well as physically disorienting, not to mention and somewhat off the subject...All Vamp's after a considerable amount of damage has been sustained to there CHR, the regenaration process slows down considerably...Tomak has had the crap beat outa him from one end of the Sanguine to the next...Realistically speaking, I cannot say that even if Soth were to be placed in Tomak's position would he be standing, let alone talking if you catch my meaning...A suggestion in your post in my option would be to talk about the disconnected feeling's, the effect's that the torture he's suffered and endured to that point. Unless I'm missing something here.

Thank's {End of Transmission}

[Xazor Elessar]

ooc:Umm...okay Ki Adi...you should have waited for me to post before jumping to conclusions and posting something different. I was going to reply to your post, but I didn't have time. Learn some patience dude, it would have been better the way we had planned it.

ic:

Xazor looked at Liam and sighed, wondering what was taking the large ship above them from replying to her request for access. Perhaps it was for the better that they were ignoring Escape, but she wanted to help her friends out...

[Ki-Adi Kindo]

Smoke filled the air, imparing sight to anyone who walked by it. The air cleared and all thats was left was a dead silence. Kindo stood, surrounded by many stormtroopers that were unconcious upon the ground. Kindo put up his blaster back in its holster. He crept around the corner, peeking to see if anyone was coming. He was quiet has he could be, any noise would send the guards into a frenzy, and Kindo would probably lose more than his secret presense upon the ship. He looked down the corrider, only to see a mass of guards. About fifthteen of them, armed and deadly, and heading his way. He quickly but quietly returned to his ship in the hangar. It would only be a matter of time before the ship was awareof his presense. He climbed up in his ship, still looking around for any unnoticed guards. He then remembered something, the other Jedi were on there way. He flipped on his scanner, hoping to pick up their ship. After a few minutes he found something. The reading came back in a mass of information. It was them. He sent out a signal, hoping they would track him to where he was. There was room in the hangar for their ship to land, so that was taken care of. Now he just waited.

[Tomak Ohara]

OOC: Everyone needs to go back and read my response to right before i lost my soul. There is a big change. Thanks alot. Toodles!

[Xazor Elessar]

ooc: For reasons that I am not at liberty to discuss, I am removing myself from this RP. I am sorry to all of you...but it's better this way.....

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak finally got enough energy to stagger up. He looked at Soth and Saurron. He fell to one knee and looked up at them smiling. "Masters, I am sorry I was a fool before. My friends, if you can call them that, shall die at my hand. I shall start with the vampire hunter. He will pay for his acts against my people. I ask that you heal me and give me strength to rid you of the vermin that walk in your ship." Tomak smiled again and his fangs grew. He spread his wings and laughed loudly and menacingly at the thought of ripping Dios and the others limb from limb.

OOC: I am very sorry to say, but Tomak has left the GJO. I have decided this is best for him and I will miss you all very much. Thank you so much for everything you guys have ever done for me. I hope you will treat my new character, Ansatsu, with as much respect as you did Tomak. I am very sorry one more. Thank you very much though. You guys are like a family to me.

[SAURRON]

OOC: Garou your presence will be missed.

ic

Tomak knelt before Saurron and the Death Knight. Yet there was a sense of pride now in him. Even with his soul freshly taken from his body he displayed a true hunger that was of the Vampyre race. A minority to be sure, they still had great influence on many. It was how things in the universe...transpired. Saurron cast his gaze down upon Tomak. All Tomak could see were two ice blue rings piercing his mind. At least he still had that.

Tomak's wings spread wide much to Saurron's pleasure. Tomak now knew what darkness was...standing there...in Saurron's chambers...life left him, or so it seemed, he hungered for the empowering liquid of life, and Saurron would deliver.

Saurron's pale hand rose gently, and was graced with a chalice by an unseen servant. It was a shadow of the minds eye. Swift and fleeting yet the drink was served as Saurron bid it to be done. The Masters eyes shifted slowly to his most deadly apprentice.

Once again Lord Soth you have fulfilled your destiny in your service to the Darkside. Saurron's look upon his face was tense, but held much meaning in which the Death knight understood all to well.

Ice blue eyes returned to Tomak...

Drink this.... Came Saurron's voice. Smooth as velvet again it caressed his ear as the ebony chalice, so black it repulsed what light there was in the chambers, floated to Tomak's hands bestowing cold upon cold that crawled through his soulless body. Inside the chalice it was warm...it was crimson...it was calling to his senses...luring his lips to the rim of darkness...

Yes... Saurron's whisper fell all about the chambers now as if amplified by some source.

The source?

It was merely... the Darkside of the Force.

[Gavin LeStat]

The bay was empty not even the Coven troopers that he had slain lay there anymore. The blood red hue that permeated the entire bay still remained though.

Lion heard Gavin's laughter leading him towards the far end of the bay. The galaxys stars show bright behind him as he contemplated following the sound he had heard...

[Gavin LeStat]

The Interdictor had not come out of hyperspace but had decloaked. It sped to full speed then cloaked again as if diving beneath a murky waters surface...the stars distorted..bluring in front of ones eyes then became normal as the Despondent once again disapeared from sight.
.................................................. .................................................. .....


Hanger bay Ki...

It was quiet. His ships normal and offline functions were all he could hear, until...

The bay door began to close as the normal alarms sounded signaling such an event.

Then his transmissions came back to him. Received and sent back through a loop to his ship. There was no transmitting out of the Sanguine now. Ki read the information displayed by his ships computers. The bay doors were now halfway closed and continued on...
.................................................. .................................................. ....

Hanger bay Dios...

Bay door closing.
.................................................. .................................................. ....

Hanger bay Lion...

Bay door closing.

[Lord Soth]

Indeed the light faded within the over powering shadows of the Dark-side it's self. This pinnacle point was well noted with Soth Nuevole as he looked on his Master's pride in him. There was nothing more rewarding then the satisfying approval from a Master to an apprentice. Soth lived to serve in his Master's evil wake...It had always been as such...And ever would be....It was simply the nature of thing's.

Soth lowered his head as Saurron's gaze fell upon him. No medal, no amount of material wealth or any imaginable thing could ever replace the honor he now felt from the Master of Vampyre's...

"I will always strive to please you my Master...It is my honor, my sworn duty to do so." Soth then watched as Tomak's form was rejuvenated through the life sustaining liquid that Saurron presented to him. Tomak was now fully engulfed within the clutches of the Dark-side. Embraced by his true nature of what he was...A "Creature of the Night!"

So profound was the daunting power within the darkened room, so exhilarating was the electrifying waves that now washed over Tomak, he found himself caught up in the moment as the pride of it filled his heart...A small taste, an inkling of what the Death Knight felt as his Master looked on him without word's that were already understood, captured for a brief moment in Tomak's hungry mind.

Soth turned his stoic gaze to Tomak as his wide wing span loomed and hovered over him like a wicked cloak. Tomak was now one of them!

"I find great pleasure in your choice young one...To serve what is inherent of you...What is undeniable. There are none such as we...Nor can they ever know or understand the mysterious depth's we hold in the palm of our hand...For we are Vampyre!...The true spring and fountain of the Dark-Side it's self!" The Death Knight's eye's glowed with an inner light that seemed to peak to a hot red hue as he finished his sentence...

But as Soth finished his cryptic word's to Tomak, he knew his loyal service was still yet uncompleted...There remained other's aboard the death ship that required his full attention...Intruder's that needed to be shown what it was like to meddle with Death!

"My Master..." Soth paused as his glowing eye's narrowed to thin crimson slit's.

"I sense there are other's on the Sanguine as we speak. Permit me to take them your warmest regard's." Soth's deadly invitation was well noted by Saurron...Soth's subtle suggestion meant only one thing...Death!

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak drank from the chalice and felt the warm blood begin to course through his veins. He felt his energy return to him. He felt his wounds close and his body cleave together. He smiled and laughed as the blood trickled down his lips. "Let me go with him. I wish to pay old friends a visit." Tomak laughed out loud and waited for Saurron's answer.

[Dios Kane]

:: The door burst open and Dios stood in the door way with fallen gaurds behind him. He had made it to the heart of the ship and at it bled the three parts of it, The darkest one sucking in the light around him, the next Dios had met at a bar, and Tomak. He pointed to the three with his saber drawn by his side.::
I told you Soth we would meet again. And now you'll pay me back for those drinks you made me lose. Tomak, I'm here to bring you back to the light. I'm here to save you like you once saved me. And you... you big dark thing... I don't care what your name is but you too will fall like the rest of the vampyres that fell before me... I've smelled worse then you before.
:: Dios knew he was talking bull, he knew his limtis and could easily see the odds here. But he had to try, for evreyone.::
So who's first?
:: Dios just remembered the merc at that moment. Sanis could be right behind him at any moment. Oh well, let him come... hehe. Dios would want a large bottle of wine after this and plenty of rest.::

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak stared at Dios and laughed showing his fangs. "You poor deluded fool. I am with my own kind. You will not kill me or my new family. You will pay for what you did to my people. Now vampire hunter, if I can get my permission from my masters you will fall at my hand. Do you accept my challenge fallen one. Or better yet, become one of us. Vampiric unlife is a great thing. Do you accept like a man or decline like a fool?" Tomak brandished his fangs and laughed once more. He looked at Dios and said, "For you see I have seen the light of good, and I hate it." Tomak laughed once more and wiped the blood left over from the chalice from his fangs.

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios shook his head.::
You truly have lost your soul... I regret my actions with you from hence forth.
:: Dios flicked a ring off his finger at the group of three.::
Let's dance, you and I.
:: He waited for Tomak to fight.::

[Lion El' Jonson]

Lion slid to a stop as the hangar doors began to close...

"Oh, crap...."

Having expended all of his firepower already, there was no way out...Lion decided to take his chances and continue on...

As he ran towards the door, it, too, began to close....oh, crap....

He slid under it a second before it slid shut, cutting him off from his crew...and there were 4 troopers walking down the hall , their blasters at ready position....

"Oh, this can't be good..........."

(ooc: Sorry to hear that you're leaving, Tomak...can I have Azhure? Naw, jk, jk!)

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak looked at Dios and caught the ring, " Beautiful ring, looks like the one I gave Azhure. But your plan will not work fool!" Tomak heard a small ticking noise and then his arm was engulfed in flame. To be more precise his arm was not there. Tomak jumped back howling in pain. He quickly jumped back and let his arm regenrate. He then drew his saber and spoke to Dios,"You bastard! I will slaughter you like I did your family. I do not know if I told you, but the night I destroyed your village I rember your mothers aganozing screams. The way her blood tasted. She screamed your name and begged me to save you. She held a cross in her hand like it would protect her. Her fear was exquisite. Your father was diffrent, stronger. He did not break down until his wifes carcass was thrown at his feet." Tomak paused and let the pain sink in. Yes, get angry my little friend. Your blood will be excellent to my tounge. "I sucked him dry. He had nothing left. His tears could not even fall. Then onward to your brothers and sisters. To easy of a kill. They screamed as you huddled in the corner defenseless. As you are now. Do you remember that night. Do you remember my dark figure coming ever closer as you stood helpless, waiting to be struck down." Tomak came closer to Dios and drew his saber. "Now like before you are in the same position and no one can save you. This time I will finish the job."

[Lion El' Jonson]

As Lion whipped out his, blaster, he was caught square in the chest by a stun bolt and dropped to the floor like his legs had been cut out from under him...his blaster was locked in his frozen grip, and Lion was trapped by a feeling of being inside a body that just didn't work....

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios lunged at Tomak. He stabbed out at the vampire.::
And then you were beat down by my master. Just like you will be by me!
:: Dios was clouded with fury. Where did he get off talking about the past. He would pay. Pay dearly.::

[SAURRON]

Saurron folded his arms and looked on as Tomak engaged what was once a fellow Jedi. Tomak's wound, would regenerate eventually but it would take some time, and a good feeding to help speed the process of regeneration. Tomak did not have that kind of time however and would have to fight Dios like he was. The sabers glowing lights colored the immediate surroundings as the two dueled...

[Gavin LeStat]

"Well what have we here? "

Gavin leaned over Lion. "This guy just doesn't give up." Looks over at Alana then to Lion agian. "Now look at you."

The troopers place lion in stun cuffs immediatly, and retrieve his saber. They then pick him up per Gavins orders.

"Come on, back to the bay. There is something I want to see." Gavin caught Alana's query filled look. "I heard of this Jedi doing it once, hey...I just wanna see how good this guy is." Gavin chuckled.

Over his comm he ordered the bay door to open again.


http://www.boomspeed.com/sarilestat/gavinnew.jpg

[Lion El' Jonson]

Lion was dragged to his feat and had stun cuffs attached to his wrists...not that there was any reason, he couldn't even move his OWN arms...

"Where the hell are you taking me, ugly?" he said...or at least tried to say...

It came out more like "Er eh lah ar ew king e, ly?"

[Gavin LeStat]

"Your slobbering on yourself."

Soon Lion saw his own ship sitting there where he had left it the landing bay. Only now it was surrounded.

"Get outa here. We'll take care of this."

As the troops began leaving Gavin reached out and bent the barrel on Lion's blaster that was still stuck in his hand.

"There we go." Gavin said while straightening Lion's clothes making them seem a little more neat in appearance. "Well, I believe you have a ship to catch, so we wont keep you."

Gavin unlocked the stun cuffs and pushed Lion backwards. As the Vampyre's turned and left the bay Lion's attention was caught first by the audible alarm, and then by the magnetic containment shield lights shutting down all around the door. Lion's ship began to slide towards the bay entrance and continued to pick up speed. Then Lion felt the Vacuum himself...

[Alana Stormcloud]

Alana sighed softly. "What a waste of a good meal. doesn't it make you wonder Gavin how they don't kill themselves the way they just toss themselves about? Oh well they are like flies there always seems to be more of them hovering about." She watched as the Jedi was jettisoned out of the bay doors. "Well, Hopefully he finds his way home. So we can eat him later." Alana grinned.

"Lets go see what evils Soth and Saurron are up to. So they don't have all the fun.."

[Sanis Prent]

(The doors of the inner sanctum slid open in the background, unnoticed in the cacophony of clashing sabers, as Dios and Tomak dueled. Exactly how he'd eluded the Coven guard, I didn't know. How he managed to bypass the shaft lock was an even bigger mystery. I wasn't asking anymore. I was telling. As the door slid open, I snapped up my shell gun.)

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios was too angry to have to deal with the next interuption. He held the weakened Tomak at bay while he turned to Sanis Prent. He lifted his hand and pulled a one in a life time force push that threw pieces of the broken door at him. Dios didn't pay much attention before he turned back to Tomak. Woth only one arm, Dios only had to disable that and he'd have one down, two more::

[Lion El' Jonson]

Lion felt himself begin to slide towards the hangar bay door...the damn vamps must've unsealed the magnetic containment field.....

....which meant he would go flying into space, and be killed by the explosive decompression in a few seconds...what fun...

[Lord Soth]

The Death Knight, Soth Nuevole narrowed his crimson eye's as a curtain amusement etched it's way across his stoic features. The mercenary Sanis Prent easily evaded the projectile's that Dios sent flying at him. This skilled and extremely resourceful man was versatile it came to force user's, Soth knew this first hand when he encountered the bounty hunter on Coruscant for the first time. He was not to be taken lightly as so many had, only to find this out far to late when their subdued lives were in the balance or the bounty was being paid in full for their head!

Dios had not been turned around long when he felt a smashing blow to the back of his head. A heavy display orb thudded to the floor next to him as he fell at Sanis's feet in a heap. Dio's own warm blood quickly pooled around his face as he fought for consciousness. The familiar clicking sound of Sanis Mandalorian gun filled the darkened chamber. Soth grinned as the double barrel's pressed to Dio's wounded head.

"Bravo!...I see the hero of the day has finally arrived Mr. Prent." Soth slowly approached Sanis with pride in his step, watching the mercenary place stun-cuff's on the downed man at his feet.

Soth talon hand's were now relaxed behind his back as he looked down at Dio's stricken form. He gloated over him as he walked a tight circle about them.

"What do we have here?...A little boy?" Soth word's were mocking as he placed a black boot on the side of Dio's neck, threatening to snap it if he made any foolish or sudden move's.

"Such a pity...I do not believe we have any use for this one..." Soth word's were slow and methodical. The Death Knight paused for a brief moment then continued as his eye trailed back to Sanis.

"Kill him!..."

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios smiled as the blood slowly ran out of his nose and mouth. He'd met Soth before, he wondered if that had been him who had hit him... Anyways, he had a barrel pointed to his face and was very tired, It had been a long day and that blow had knocked the rage out of him. He wanted to reach for a drink but figured that wouldn't be allowed. What would he do now? He heard Soth speak and still felt the boot and still firmly placed to the other side of his head. The order was said to kill him... yeah right. If Dios was gonna die it wasn't gonna be to this scum and definitely if he didn't get to die with a flask in his hand, what was the fun in that?::

ooc- oops, missed that, hehe, I still had to read it like seven times to find that part, a ver small sentence is that one.

[Lord Soth]

ooc: Two word's bro..."Stun-Cuff's" :)

[Sanis Prent]

(Unhinging the breech, I loaded solid-mass slugs into the chamber. No sense in overkill. With a snap, I closed it, and brought it to bear on Dios again.

The next thing he felt was an impact on his chest, as I dropped my flask on him.)


Last call...

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios let a sigh go out with the impact and dazed, looked up at Sanis.::
Thank ya bery much... but I sorta need my hands to drink it...
:: Maybe if they were a little nicer he'd have a chance...::

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak came over and picked up the flask, "Drink then....fool!" Tomak emptied the flask all over Dios's face. He then took his large boot to it. "You will die here, old friend." Tomak smiled and showed his fangs to Dios.

[Sanis Prent]

(Holstering my weapon, I pulled a stim from my jacket pocket, lighting the end, and watching Tomak taunt Dios.)

[Lion El' Jonson]

Lion was still being dragged out of the hanar bay, his arms flailing around as he tried to gain purchase on something in the hangar bay...he bounced off of his ship's right wing...hard...and he tasted blood in his throat...

"Oh...crap...." he said to himself..."I should've stuck to mercenary life...."

[Lord Soth]

Beautiful fate...How the sand's of time have dwindled upon their miserable lives...None will come, none to help their desperate plea's...Forgotten to pearl in the darkest hour, a bitter reminder that light shall surly fade...The past shall soon come, and forget their once brave name's...

The Death Knight moved to where his master stood. Soth nodded to Saurron as they needed not word's of communication. It was known what was to happen next. Everything was now going as planned according to Saurron's design. However, there was only one other matter that stood in the way of seeing their ultimate plan succeed...Time! A luxury that could be afforded when placed in the pale hand of the Damned.

"My master, I have fore seen the man of light we seek in a vision. The woman has now forsaken her jedi brethren and turned back like the coward she is...Shall we pursue her as well?" Soth paused as he crossed his arm's awaiting Saurron's reply. Saurron stood in utter silence for long moment's as Dios groan's filled the obsidian chamber. The sweet smell of glitter-stem lofted about the room in blue wisp's of smoke from the mercenary as he stood quietly in a shadowed corner...All now hinged on the Sith Master's command's...For Saurron himself had already foreseen their coming, as well as their ill fated doom.

[Gavin LeStat]

"Hold on Alana, looks like he's gonna make it!" Gavin chuckled.

"The force it is truely amazing." He said sarcastically. "Look."

Gavin pointed at Lion bouncing off of the wing and returning to the ships hull. It was only a matter of time till he used the force to open the ships hatch, but would he risk the lives of his crew by opening it? Time it seemed was more precious to humans than Vampyre, and so the story goes...

Gavin folded his arms and nodded as if giving cudos watching the Jedi move along the ships surface..."I didn't think he had it in him."

[Lion El' Jonson]

Lion had bounced along the wing and had grabbed onto the hatch...but he dared not open it...otherwise he'd risk the lives of his crew...sighing, he let go, and flew along the hull once again, almost colliding with a landing strut...

[SAURRON]

Saurron's hand rose as if to quell his apprentices query.

Dogs run in circles my apprentice. She will fall in our proverbial lap as a domesticated canine...sooner or later.

The human Prent stood there with his relic shell gun. His form was highlighted by the red hue of the hallways lighting, casting an eerie glow on the stem smoke that rose upward. For a moment he almost held the same darkness as the shadows that did Saurron's bidding.


A Vampyre hunter...Saurron's eyes were now on Dios...perhaps we should turn him into the one thing he hates the most in the universe, then...let him writhe in agony hating himself until he falls to insanity

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak turned to face Saurron, "No, he is not worthy to be called a vampire. I say we let him die. Besides, he is impossible to bite. It burns us vampires. He deserves to die. He killed my father." Tomak's hatred grew. "Damn you hunter! I hope you burn in the hell you created for yourself!" Tomak began kicking him in the side. He continued until he heard some bones crack. Then he picked him up with the force and threw him from one wall to the other. He slammed him down on the ground and took out his metal sword. He slashed it across his body a few times. Enough to make him bleed and suffer. He then stuck the sword in his leg. "I hope you die, and rot forever hunter. May the memories of you killing my brethren haunt you forever." Tomak threw his wings up and they went from the silver color they were to a deep blodd red. "Yes, so it has begun. My life as a vampire is anew. You will suffer every waking moment hunter." Tomak threw his head back and laughed menancingly. This was fun.

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios had felt them click, they had clicked! That stupid vamp had been nice enough to throw him against the wall on his stun cuffs. Htey simply clicked off and fell silently behind Dios. He was crying by now, not even the holy water copuld heal all of this so quickly, he would be scarred for quite some time. Dios didn't have time for that though, that was later... He looked up slowly with his bruised face to Tomak.::
It's not like I killed your whole family or anything...
:: Dios spit out a tooth and shuddered at the thought of becoming a vampire. Tomak was dumb enough that he didn't know that even Dios could be turned, it just took a little extra work. But he didn't need that right now either. He whipped his hand around and got the only flask still in his jacket, he could tell it was the last one because it was the only oe that wouldn't break from all the beatings he had recieved. Dios had made sure the case was very strong, this stuph was verypotent. He pulled it out and quickly loosed the cap as he slung it in Tomak's direction. The acid flew in Tomak's direction but it also landed on Dios' face. That's what happened when your wrists had been twisted and broken and were still healing. He screamed as he staggered against the wall. Dios wiped what was left off with his sleeve that began to smoke. He stopped when he heard the satidfying noise of Tomak's skin sizzling. Dios didn't know what the other's were doin but he slowly slid towards the door. One eye seemed to feel like it would be a lost hope even with the water and the ribs and cuts and bruises to boot. Grey blood slowly flowing from Dios, he slumped by the door, slowly getting vcloser to the escape. He had to get away somehow! But how? It was all swirling around in one big twister and it kept getting dark then light then dark again.::

[Sanis Prent]

(I laughed at the scene. It was like a bad comedy. Taking a deep drag on my stim, I flicked the hot rock at Dios, igniting his whiskey-doused body)

Gotta mind the fire-water, man.

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak felt his skin burn away, "Someone seize him! I want to deal with him personnaly!" He held his hands to his face and tried to wipe away the liquid with his sleeves. Some came off but none the less it still would leave scars. He removed his hands and his face was bleeding. All you could see were his eyes. He looked at Dios, whose jacket was now on fire. His face burned and his skin was gone. He pulled out of the pain and said to the hunter, "You scarred me again. Like before. Now though, I have the power and you will die at my hands. Prepare to be gone fool.

[SAURRON]

Saurron held his hand up slightly...

Then, Dios felt his trachea begin to collapse as his feet rose from the floor.

The Vampyre master had enough, and living would be the Vampyre hunters undoing.

Withdraw a sample of his blood then jettison him in an escape pod. Saurron turned to his deadly apprentice.

The light shines most brightly on this one you speak of. The human Anbira will only know the pain of demise.

The holopad lit obeying Saurron's motions and within moments an officer stood at attention.

You may enter hyperspace shortly, prepare the ship.

Saurron glanced back at Dios in his pain as he hung there as if suspended by invisible ropes...

[Dios Kane]

:: Dios face still burned from the acid and his hand reached up to his throat. He had almost been out of there... sorta. Oh well, he hadn't paid attention to what the big dark dude had said, he figured it was time for him to die now. But he didn't want to give up without a fight... But how? He'd have to hope he could survive a bit longer on no breath.::

[Tomak Ohara]

Tomak drew his saber, "Master Saurron I would like to kill him. He caused me too much pain." Tomak stuck the saber in Dios's arm, "For my mother." Then he stuck it in Dios's other arm, "For my sister," then he stuck it into Dios's good leg, "For my father. For me and my village. You destroyed my life rot in space. But if you live I want to kill you on the battlefield. I want you to be there the day the vampires claim the Jedi Order. I want you there the day it falls. So I think I will let you live for now."
