Survivors

[Madame]

It had been not quite twenty-four hours since the destruction of the Dark Angels palace. Most of the Dark Angels died that day, along with a couple hundred Watch Cops.

The Madame sat on the balcony of the hotel, she and Xel had gotten a luxurioue suite at, sipping some coffee.

By now, A'jorrah would've realized the new gracious amount of credit in her account, as would Kes'la. They were both set for life. Her plan had worked out very well and the cops? Well, it was just not their lucky day.

The news was going on and on of the carnage that was being found. Hundreds of bodies, but the Madame paid no mind. After all, it was she who had tipped them off and it was she who used the over ride to lock all the hidden escape hatches in the palace.

She smiled as the dawning of a new day was upon her and it was a fabulous feeling....

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel walked out onto the balcony and stood behind Madame "what is our next move?" He asked as he stretched his arms above his head and cracked his neck

It had been awhil since his and Madame's escape and he could not beleive that the base had been found and destroyed.

[Madame]

"We should probably stay here for another twenty-four hours and then start looking for a new place to stay. I'm not entirely sure that we should get a new place just yet. Of course, we could go off-world."

Madame looked at him. "What would you like to do, Xel?"

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel looked down at her "I would do what ever my leader commands me" He smiled slightly "but maybe off world would be better since that watch knows of us and if they hear thay we survived they will look for us again."

[Madame]

Madame nodded. "Yes, off world does sound lovely, a nice tropical place would be very nice. I'll have to start looking into different systems. I'd rather go to a place where there's not a lot of people around...perhaps, Falycin. I've heard it's tropical in various regions."

She sighed and sipped her drink again. "Falycin...hmmm."

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel looked up at the sky "Sound perfect for us" He said as he scratched the tip of his nose with his finger "and once we're there we can raise a great base and recruit more people."

[Madame]

"My thoughts exactly, Xel." She said with a smile.

[Zachariah Jak'el]

"we will need to find a transport off the planet first. and then we can get off this planet and onto the path to our future."

[Madame]

"The new future of the Dark Angels realm will be the beginning of a new era for us, Xel. We have the power, we have the riches and soon we'll have the ranks beneath us." She smiled devilishly and took another drink.

"And in celebration, I have order some room service for us."

A few moments later a knock was heard on the door. "Room service!"

"Enter!" The Madame ordered.

A blonde haired man opened the door and wheeled in a small cart filled with food on all three shelves.

"Please, bring it out here." She informed him.

He quickly placed it all on the table on the balcony, an array of dishes were sat before them and then the man set each person with a table setting. "Enjoy your breakfast, Madame." The man said as he bowed slightly and quickly walked out.

"Now this is a table set for Royalty, Xel and that is exactly what we are. Royalty." She smiled as she placed her napkin on her lap. "Let's enjoy this meal and remember what we have to look forward too."

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel smiled and sat down at the table, He grabed his fork and pulled a pancake onto his plate and grabed a cinnamin bun and place it on his plate

He picked up the maple syrup and poured some onto his pancake, He picked up his knife and slowlt cut the pieces of the pancake off and picked them up with his fork and lifted it to his mouth and chewed it.

[Madame]

Madame was very pleased with the breakfast set before them and ate a plateful from the impressive meal. When she was done, she pushed her plate aside. "I do have a job for you, Xel. Today, I want you to go and find us a ship for hire to take us to Falycin. I'm sure you can get us a decent price."

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel smiled "I'm sure I could, I've done alot of bartering in my earlyer days and this should be a sinch to do."

He finished off his breakfast and sat back in his chair "that was a lovely meal."

[Madame]

"Well, get used to it, Xel. I only wish to have the best and once we've settled into a place on Falycin, I'll be hiring a full-time staff."

She sipped her drink again. "I've got a clothing designer coming up soon to get us some new clothes, so they will be bringing us some racks to choose from. I hope you don't mind me taking care of that. Saves us from being seen out on the street. The less we're seen the better."

[Zachariah Jak'el]

"I agree,We cannot risk being seen and cought when we are so close to leaving this place" He looked down at his cloths they had gotten dirty in the escape from the base and he really could use some new ones.

[Madame]

Things were going right as planned. Soon they would be off this rock and starting a new life, and all would be well.

"I'm also giving a list to the hotel to have some things brought in, personal things. So, if you need anything make a list and I'll place it with mine. I figure if I'm going to pay for a service, might as well make them work for it."

[Zachariah Jak'el]

"the only things I need is new weapons and I might be able to get another armor suit like the one I can before, maybe I'll look around when I'm looking for a ship."

[Madame]

"I could use some new daggers as well. When you're out, hook me up with five new daggers, if you could." She told him as she stood and walked over to the edge of the balcony. It was a beautiful morning, the air was fresh and clear for once and the Madame was looking forward to her new life.

"I may just go to the spa, while you're out." That did sound great, after all the two of them had been through. She needed something to relax her.

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel stood up "when would you like me you leave?" He asked as prushed a piece of dirt off his shirt "I will be ready to leave when ever you ask."

[Madame]

Madame shrugged. "No rush really, Xel. Might as well relax and enjoy the sunshine, until your clothes come. Then you can clean up."

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel nodded "That will work for me" He said as he walked up behind and wraped his arms around her waist and kissed her on the neck "Aslong as I have you i'm happy."

[Madame]

The Madame smiled graciously. "We have all the time in the universe on our hands, Xel. And I'm sure...I can make you just as happy. We'll reform a new Dark Angels army, you and I. Together, but this time I want more men on our side. Do you think that is possible? And all of them will owe themselves to us. How does that sound?" She purred as she turned in his arms and faced him.

[Zachariah Jak'el]

"Wemon can be as strong as men but I think it might be better if we had a few more men in the group" He smiled and kissed her forehead.

[Madame]

"So, we shall." She answered as she leaned up and gave him a light peck on the lips. "We've got it made, Xel. You know that, don't you?"

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel layed his lips on hers and kissed them "I know. I we shall become an unstopible for soon" He pulled her closer to him as he said this.

[Madame]

Something I've been looking forward to for a very, very long time. And it's just about within our grasp. I can feel it, taste it...it is so near." She told him as he embraced her closer. "The feel of power and glory."

[Zachariah Jak'el]

"And it will be ours and we will live to the fullest of life and rule over the Dark Angels."

[Madame]

"I hold such high expectations for this, Xel." She told him and kissed him again. "We will make it though this holocaust. Oh, also when you get our ship make sure it has some cargo space, we're going to need it. I have a few things in a warehouse in North Coruscant."

[Zachariah Jak'el]

"I will make sure it has room for your things. the sooner we can get of this rock the sooner we can start out future."

[Madame]

Madame smiled and gave him a kiss. "A future that will please us more than we could ever imagine." She told him as a knock coudl be heard on the door.

"Who is it?" She called.

"Stockwell Designs, Ma'am. Your wardrobe has arrived."

Madame looked up at Xel. "Shall we?"

[Zachariah Jak'el]

"lets" Xel took her hand and escorted her to the door where he opened it "do come in" He said to the man who was standing outside the door.

[Madame]

Madame stood back as the dark-haired man entered with two assistants and four racks of clothes.

She smiled, this was going to be fun.

Three hours later and stacks of clothes later, the racks were taken back out of the room.

"Thank-you, Madame." The Designer smiled as he walked out.

"Well, that was fun, wasn't it?" She asked Xel as she grabbed his hand and led him towards the 'fresher. "I think, it's time to go get a shower, shall we?" She smiled devilishly.

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel smiled "yes, that sound good" He returned her smile and removed his shirt and kissed her on her lips "nothing would sound better."

[Madame]

Two hours later, the two of them were once again lounging on the balcony. The Madame wore a very revealing bikini as she lay with her eyes closed taking in some warm Coruscant sun.

"You can wipe the drool now, Xel." She teased as she felt him staring at her. "Get used to it, wait until we're on Falycin."

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel quickly looked away from Madame's body and rubbed his forehead I can't wait till we get to Falycin he thought he looked bacl at her for a moment before looking away again "do you want me to go look for a ship now?"

[Madame]

"Yes, I think it's time now, Xel. Comm me with what you find and I'll have the money sent through right away." She instructed him and didn't even bother to open her eyes.

[Zachariah Jak'el]

"I'll be on my way then" He said as he stood up from the chair he was sitting in and headed for the door "I'll be back as soon as I can" He walked out the door and locked it behind him

Xel knew where he could find someone who had what he wanted and that was at the Black Hole, a Bar where most mercenarys and bountyhunters hanged out. twenty minutes later Xel walked into the Black Hole and walked over to the bullitin board on the wall that listed all the people in the area who where accepting jobs, one of theys caught his eye

Name: Ragnarok.
Job:mercenary.
Ship: Skipbray Blastboat.
note: I am taking any job that pays well.

Xel smiled getting a guy to fly us will be much easyer that buying a ship He thought as he spotted a comm number to contact Ragnarok

He pulled out his comm and dialed Rag's number, after a moment Rag's voice came on "yes?" it siad "I would like to offer to a job, can you meet me at the Black Hole" Xel asked. "sure" came his answer and then he hung up the comm and placed it back in his pocket and sat down at an empty table.

[Karkoon]

Rag entered the Black Hole and looked around, Xel raised his hand and Rag walked over to him "are you the man with the job" He asked and Xel said "yes"

"What is it you need sir?"

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel smiled "I and my freind need a trasport to Falycin, We are willing to pay what you want and we will also need some cargo room for our things" He said smoothly.

[Karkoon]

Rag sat down across from Xel "Well for all that I'll take thirty five hundred creds and dont even try to bargain with me" He said in a stern voice.

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel smiled "you got yourself a deal" He said as he stood up "I'll contact you again when we are ready to leave Mr. Ragnarok". He pulled out his comm again and dailed up Madame "I found someone who can transport us for dirt cheap, can you send me some money for him and the weapons we will need?"

[Madame]

Madame had been in the middle of an awesome massage with a massuis named Lars. She answered her comm and he excused himself for a few minutes.

"That's great news, Xel. I will get to a terminal and place the money into your account. Give me about twenty minutes." She sat up and wrapped the towel around her a bit more tightly.

"Very well, out." Xel answered.

Madame called Lars back in. "This will have to me continued later, Lars. I have business to take care of."

"Yes, Madame." He answered as he grabbed his things and promptly left her room.

Madame walked out to the living area and got to her comp terminal and quickly made the transaction. She then dialed up Xel.

"The money is now in your accout. I sent over about six thousand, spend it wisely and don't forget my daggers."

[Zachariah Jak'el]

"ok, Xel out" He said pocketing his Comm and looked at Rag "I'll give you half the payment now and the rest when we get to out destination" He handed Rag the money "and I'll see you later."

He walked out of the Black hole and headed for the nearest weapon shop where he purchased a light repeater rifle and two power blaster pistols like the ones he had before

Xel looked over their knife selection and selected four normal daggers with black handles and one special Dagger that had a black colored blade and a black handle Theys will do nicely. he thought as he carried his weapons out the shop in a large box he had bought also and headed for a "special" place

After twenty minutes he stoped at an alley and walked into it. He came to a door and knocked in it twice and waited, the door opened a little and a face looked through it "who are you?" it asked, "its me, Zacharial" Xel said to the man "I', here for another set of you armor"

The man smiled and opened the door more "well I dont have any in the shop right now but a new versoin is comeing in today and I'll send one to you if you want?"

"Yes, send it to this adress" He said giving the man the adress to their room and handing the man one and a half thousand creds "and make it snappy."

Xel headed back to the hotel and into their room where he set the weapon bock down on the table "I'm back Madame."

[Madame]

Madame stood from her lounge on the balcony and entered, she was dressed in yet another bikini. This one was golden with fringy beads hanging down as if she were some egyptian princess.

"It's good to see you back, I've missed you." She said with a sly smile as she approached him.

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel stared at her for a moment before looking back down at teh box which he opened and pulled out his weapons and her daggers. He set them out on the table for her inspection.

[Madame]

Madame walked up and brushed against him as she looked at the array of daggers. "Very nice, Xel." She picked up three and studied the blades. "Very nice, indeed."

With a flash of the blades and a Force-aided turn that happened so fast, Xel hardly saw it, a second later the three blades were stuck in the center of a portrait in a perfect triangle directly across the room.

Madame stood there with a wicked smile on her face. "Yes, Xel. These will do very nicely."

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel was suprised by her speed and accuracy "i thought you would like them, and I got the stuff I'll need and I have a new armor suit that should arrive soon" He said as he checked his crono.

[Madame]

"Very well and then we should almost ready to go." She said as she walked across the room and pulled out her blades. "Blast, I'll have to replace the painting...oh, well. I can use some more target practice."

Madame walked back over to Xel and placed the blades back on the table. She looked up at him and slid her arms around his neck. "How would you like to entertain the Madame?" She asked as she kissed his neck and slowly pulled his shirt up and over his head.

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel smiled "I would like nothing better" He kissed her "I think that was my job when I joined the Dark Angels" He smiled again "so I have to do anything you tell me to do but I'd like to do it anyways."

[Madame]

"That's what I like to hear, Xel." She told him as her lips met his in a passionate kiss....

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel held her kiss for a moment before stoping "why dont be move this to a more confortable place" He said grining slightly.

[Madame]

"I think we can do that." She smiled and led him by the hand towards her bedroom. Once in, she closed the door....

[Zachariah Jak'el]

A few hours later Xel and Madame lay under the sheets on their bed looking at eached other "ever thought about having children?" He asked her as he moved his head closer to hers and kissed her.

[Madame]

"It's come to mind every now and then, but I've not yet proceeded to that part of my life yet. What about you, do you want some little Xel's running around someday?"

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel smiled "I thought it would be nice to have a couple kids to play with and to take care of" He kissed her again "I've been wanting a family for a long time."

[Madame]

"Hmmm, well maybe we can take care of that very soon. That is, if you are interested. Of course, we'd have to practice a lot." She gave him a sly smile and kissed his chest.

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel pulled her closer to him "Practice dosnt sound too bad" He grined "as long as its what you want then its fine with me."

[Madame]

"Perhaps, by the time we get to Falycin..." She whispered and disappeared under the sheets, making Xel jump a bit.

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel sliped under the covers also and they moved around a little as he laughed a little and then they both came up again with Xel holding Madame's body against his own "Yes, when he get to Falycin..."

[Madame]

Madame smiled as she snuggled closer to him and kissed him again.

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel let his hands fall under the covers as he kissed Madame on the lips and moved down her neck and under the covers and came back up again in a moment.

[Madame]

Madame laughed and kissed his neck and was about to---she heard someone knock on the door.

"What wonderful timing, who could that be?" She asked.

[Zachariah Jak'el]

"Most me my armor" He said as he got out of the bed and grabed and robe and sliped into it "I'll be back in a second love"

He walked to the door and opened it to reveal the man from the alley who was looking somewhat nervous and had two other men with his carrieing a large and heavy looking metal box

"here it is like you asked Zacharial" the man said as the others brought the box in and set it down by the door "we'll be on our way now, have a good day sir" they where gone in seconds and Xel closed the door and locked it again and headed back to the bedroom.

[Madame]

By, the tiem he returned, Madame was in her robe. "I take it that was your armour, meaning that now we have most of our things in order, we can go. I'll go take a shower and get my things packed." She smiled.

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Since He didn't really have anything to pack Xel just headed back to the box that held his new armor and opened it. He pulled the the full body armor and laided it down on the ground and looked it over. it was a different than his last one but more advance also

He went back into the bedroom and got dressed and came back out and pulled the armor on fastening the clamps that held it all together when he was done, He sliped the helmet on and looked around a bit before taking it off "I'll have to check the rest of the suit out later" Xel said to himself as he set the helmet on the table and retreaved the knifes from the wall and put them back into the weapon box with the rest of the weapons.

[Madame]

A bit later, Madame came out her hair was done up in a unique-looking twist and she had on a black shirt, tunic and jacket. Business-like to blend in with the crowds milling about on the streets below. "I'm packed and ready to go, Xel. We need to call up a bellboy to get our luggage and call a taxi."

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel picked up his helmet in one hand and the box in his other and walked toward the door "I taking these" He said with a slight grin as he set down the box and picked up the hotel comm unit and dialed up the front desk "hello, would you send someone to carrie out luggage up at room 131 ASAP.....yes thank you sir." He set it back down "thats taken care of."

[Madame]

"Great, the faster we can get out of here, the better. We are quite a team, Xel. I can see this turning into a beautiful realtionship." She smiled.

[Zachariah Jak'el]

Xel returned her smile "yes, and we will be unstopable" He said as a soft knock was heard "come in" He said and the door opened as the baggage man walked in with a small baggage trolley and loaded their luggage on and head out and toward the lobby

Xel looked at Madame and offered her arm to her "shall we?"

[Madame]

Madame grinned. "We shall." She took his proffered arm in hers and followed the bellboy out into the hall and down to the lifts.

"Can't wait to get off this rock." She told him. "It's been far too long."

[Zachariah Jak'el]

The lift reached the bottom and they walked through the lobby and outside where Xel waved a Taxi over to them "Yes, It will be nice to get away from this over-populated planet" He said as the Bellboy loaded their luggage into the trunk of the Taxi

Xel opened the door for Madame "You first my lady."
