Now the end is near (Invite only)

[Lord Talzen]

Gone, all gone. Thanks to Rognan he can never show his face on the upper levels again. The Jedi have raided his office, his Thugs on the upper levels have been arrested or killed,and he forgot to cancel his dinner reservation last night.

He has been running and hiding for the last 2 week, and finaly he has gotten himself healed from his fight with Rognan. But he knows he is being hunted, he knows that the shadows are after him. He can't run, he can't hide.

He's jumping at every turn, spooked by every shadow, They are comming for him, so all he can do now is run. And boy does he run.

[Neyasha]

Neyasha had left the GJO ground without telling anybody. She did leave a note with her master, Wei. The note said...

Dear Master Wei Wu Wei

I have left for an unknown length of time. the time has come for me to avenge the death of my family. I have left most of my weapons in my room, locked away so Valora can not get at them, and I am only taking one of my Katanas and my lightsaber. My lightsaber is constructed from a Katana that Talzen broke in my first fight with him, the other blade is the other Katana I fought him with, uncleaned from his blood. I intend to finish what he began, and complete the asginment that my husband gave me in his dying breath.

There is always a chance that I will not return from this. In the event that I do not return, make sure Valora has a good life. She has been left with Audrie for now, who I have informed that If I do not return within 3 weeks that you are her new owner.

Take care Master, and If I see you again, then that meens Talzen has been delt with. If I do not, Then I request that you deal with him. Thank you for your teaching, and Thank you for being there when I needed you.

Neyasha

That note was left for Wei 5 days ago, and Neyasha had been hunting Talzen since then. She could smell him now, she could hear his heavy breathing. She was very near now. It would not be long till she would have him. infact she was so close, she could almost taste his blood.

[Soolin Anjhurin]

:: Footsteps echo ahead of Talzen. The sound of a scuffle, followed by the more distinct sound of breaking teeth. One of Talzen's thugs staggers out of the dark, clutching his mouth, and falls face down at the sith's feet. Then another figure steps out of the shadows, to block his path ::

<center>"Going somewhere?"

<img src=http://panic.hopto.org/swf/sorsha/g/albums/userpics/10004/claudia_black_199.jpg>

[Lord Talzen]

Talzen skids to a halt, reconising this woman from the fight by that blue girls workshop. He also remembers that this woman uses a dule bladded lightsaber... He thinks to himself...

At least this lady would likely only want to arrest me. It could be worse, At least it's not Neyasah, that girl wants me dead. At least in jail I would be safe from her.

Talzen backs away from Soolin.

"No, I'm just going out for a nice jog. If you would be so nice as to move out of the way, and I will continue my jog."

[Neyasha]

Neyasha heard a slight fight up ahead. Then heard some talking. There was a woman's voice, and Talzen's voice. She thinks to herself...

I'm so close to having his head! I can't let some other person get him first!

Neyasha increses her speed, by pushing the button on her bracelet allowing her body to use the force, then she uses the force to speed up, so She could be the one to get Talzen. Not this other girl.

[Soolin Anjhurin]

:: Soolin takes a predatory step forward and assumes a defensive stance ::

[Lord Talzen]

Talzen continues to back away slowly

"Are you sure we can't make a deal? I could make you very rich! I could give you the meens of getting anything you could ever want!"

At this point Talzen's back his the wall behind him.

"I'm sure we could work something out here!"

[Neyasha]

Neyasha comes to a stop when she reaches the corner that Talzen is around. She then calmly walks around the corner and starts to approch Talzen.

"This man's head is mine." She says in her normal emotionless tone, and she draws her katana covered in talzen's dired blood.

She holds the blade upright so that Talzen can get a good look at the blade that almost took one of his arms.

"Do you remember this, Talzen? This is the same blade That almost removed your arm, as you ran off with my daughter... *Pulls out her lightsaber*... And this is the blade that broke off in your battle armor as you tossed my dead son out the window...*activats her lightsaber*... Though this time I don't think the blade will brake as I plunge it through your chest."

Neyasha goes to walk towards Talzen.

"From the dying breathe of my husband, that you killed, I have the mission to bring you down. I will not fail. So you could make this easy on you, by giving up now, or hard."

[Soolin Anjhurin]

:: Soolin answers both of them, ready to react to a move from either of them ::

"I declare Lord Talzen under arrest in the name of the Greater Jedi Order."

[Lord Talzen]

Talzen draws his light saber as he sees Neyasha. He is speech less untill the women have stoped talking...

"Ladies! Ladies! Can't we talk this out! I have no quaral with ether of you! can't we just let by gones be by gones!"

Talzen also slips a mini flash bomb in to his hands and tosses it at the girls, closing his eyes as a blinding flash of light fills the dark hall. Talzen the goes to sprint past them, and turns around the corner and goes up into a turbolift and starts is going into a more populated area.

[Neyasha]

Neyasha's eyes are blinded for a quick moment, since they were set to dark, when the flash of light came. When she gets her sight back she sees that Talzen has escaped. She quickly reaches out with that force, and sences he is on his way up in the turbo lift. Neyasha then uses the force to enhance her already geniticaly enhanced speed, and runs up the nearest stairs after the turbo lift.

[Sasha Tion]

Sasha's life had been nice for the last while. Well nice with the exception of being pregnant and all the joys that come along with that. She hadn't heard from or seen Talzen in months. That could in part be the fact that she'd been living with Shrin who has been helping her out immensly.

Today, she's out walking around, enjoying the nice weather, mind you, it's nice alot of the time. Also, she's looking at baby things. There's not a crowd of ppl in this area right now, but there are several ppl, some families, a few couples, and then there's the numerous single ppl walking around.

There's a smile on her face as she's looking in different stores at various things. But what she's enjoying the most is the walking.

[Lord Talzen]

The lift stops on a floor with a number of store. He walks out and into the croud. That he sences that Neyasha is catching up VERY quickly. He starts to run through the streets, untill he sees Sasha. He runs up behind her and wraps an arm around her neck. wispering in her ear...

"Hello Sasha, You will be helping me again, alright. I you do then you will not be harmed."

[Neyasha]

Neyasha come out of the stair well, and sees Talzen holding Sasha. She can't get there yet, but she still continues to run to catch him.

[Sasha Tion]

Sasha tenses immediatly as she feels an arm come around her neck and then Talzen's voice. When she speaks, her voice holds a hint of fear like it always does when Talzen is around.

"Wwwhat do you want me to do?"

[imported_Grimya]

:: Grimya pads over to Soolin as she called out. Soolin could not see!!! Through the life bond they shared, the she-wolf would become her sight, until her vision returned to normal ::

[Lord Talzen]

Talzen Smiles and wispers to Sasha...

"I want you to be my sheild..." Talzen says as he spins so that Sasha is between him and Neyasha.

[Neyasha]

Neyasha watches as Talzen gets into postion to use Sasha as a Sheild. A hostage, That's the last thing she needs. Her first though is to kill the hostage, since one person's life is exceptable loss in order to get Talzen. But Neyasha changes her mind as she starts to picture the reaction of her master when he finds out that she took the life of a pregnant woman in order to catch Talzen.

Neyasha reaches Talzen and Sasha drawing her Katana. Lightsaber ready to strike as if she was going to cut right through Sasha to get to Talzen. Though she intends to turn off her saber just before it his Sasha, hoping that Talzen will think that Neyasha will just cut through both of them, and move out from behind Sasha.

[Soolin Anjhurin]

:: Using Grimya's eyes and senses, Soolin makes her way to the upper levels ::

[Sasha Tion]

Sasha screams as she sees Neyasha charging at her and Talzen. There isn't much which she can do since Talzen's holding her infront of him. Believing that her end is here, she raises one of her feet quickly and brings her heel down on one of Talzen's feet as hard as she can, in a hope for him to let her go so she can run.

[Lord Talzen]

Talzen Holds on to Sasha as long as He can, before he gets the feeling that she is not bluffing about killing both of them. Talzen is about to dive out from behind Sasha, just as he gets a sharp pain in his foot, with Sasha holding him where he is. Talzen pushes Sasha towards Neyasha's blade and off his foot. Then Talzen goes to start running again.

[Neyasha]

Neyasha quickly turns off her Lightsaber as Sasha is pushed towards it, and uses the hand with the now deactavated saber in it to push Sasha of to the side out of her way, muddering a quiet I'm sorry as she does.

She then does a quick advance towards Talzen slashing her Katana at his backside.

[Sasha Tion]

Sasha falls down to the ground after first Talzen pushes her, then Neyasha. What catches her off guard though is the muttered I'm sorry from Neyasha. She looks up towards Neyasha and Talzen, watching them from the ground, either to lazy to get up, or not wanting to deal with the awkwardness of standing up right now.

[Lord Talzen]

The blade slices down his back with a glancing blow. Talzen reals in pain, turing around, knowing that he will have to fight her. Well at least the other Jedi was lets behind.

Talzen turns on his saber, as he spins, attempting to cut off Neyasha's head with his lightsaber.

[Neyasha]

Neyasha re-actavates her Lightsaber, bringing it up to block the attack as she slashes at Talzen's Chest with her Katana.

[Lord Talzen]

Talzen steps backwards and spinns off to his left avoiding the Katana comming at him.

"Is that the best you can do? You'll never take me bown like that!"

He then brings his saber down and slashes his lightsaber at Neyasha's knees.

[Neyasha]

Neyasha jumps into the air over top of the lightsaber, putting herself into a fast spin, assisted by the force, she sticks out her foot so that it should contact with Talzen's head. As she comes back down from the jump she goes into nother spin so that she is facing Talzen, and puts herself into a defencive position.

[Lord Talzen]

Talzen try's to bring his saber up as Neyasha jumps, but She is just moving too fast. Her foot contacts his head and knockes him off to the side. He hits the ground, his head spinning, quickly makes his way to his feet, feeling as if he was smacked by a high speed truck.

In his state of confusion Talzen slips out his proton grenade, from his other sleeve, and throws it. It was ment to go at Neyasha, but instead it goes towards the group of people that have gathered near Sasha to ether see if she is alright, or to watch the fight.

[Neyasha]

Neyasha goes to start to advance towards Talzen when she sees the plasma grenade flung almost randomly off towards the groop of people behind her.

Her first thought is that the bomb will not hurt her from where it will land, but then the thought of having let those people die just so she could catch Talzen, brought forward the idea of a nother Lecture from her master. She doesn't like to be repremanded, so she reaches out with the force and catches the Grenade about 1 foot off the floor, right next to Sasha.

"Would somebody please carefuly dissarm the bomb!" She calls to the group of panicing people, as she notices that talzen is running in a disoreneted fassion back to turbolift.

[Soolin Anjhurin]

:: The lift doors slide open, and Soolin catches Talzen's sabre hand in a <a href=http://panic.hopto.org/swf/sorsha/g/albums/userpics/10004/martial%20grab.jpg>martial grab</a>. She twists it back into an armlock with her left hand and catches his head in a grab with her right. Pulling his head back sharply, she stings him with a whipping right kick to the face, not letting go of him ::

[Sasha Tion]

Sasha nods slightly at what Neyesha said. She herself doesn't want to grenade going off. She reaches over to the grenade which is right next to her, and goes to look it over first, before moving on to disarm it.

[Lord Talzen]

Talzen is suprised when the lift opens and the next thing he knows he is being held in a twisted, painful grip on his right arm, agravating the recovered broken shoulder he got from fighting Rognan, Forcing him to drop his lightsaber.

His nose starts to bleed as he gets kicked in the face, though as Soolin only has one foot on the ground and is almost recovered from her kick, talzen does a sharp kick at the knee of the leg that is still on the floor. Hoping that it will be enough that Soolin will let him go.

[Neyasha]

Neyasha Smiles as she sees Soolin grabs Talzen, though she can't do much well She is having to hold the bomb with the force.

"If you would be so kind as to get a grip in the Granade so that it will not fall when I let go of it, The will be nice!" Neyasha calls over to Sasha " I will release the granade in Five, Four, Three, Two, ...."

[Soolin Anjhurin]

:: Soolin allows herself to fall, taking Talzen to the ground with her as she holds on. Shifting slightly, the hold now becomes a chickenwing stranglehold, with the pressure on the arm, shoulder, neck and throat as she starts to choke him out ::

[Sasha Tion]

Sasha carefully grabs the grenade as Neyasha is counting down to when she's going to let it go. She bites her lower lip while she's concentrating on disarming the grenade since it's been quite some time since she's had to do this sort of thing.

[Lord Talzen]

Talzen winces in pain as he gets pinned to the ground. He taps into the pain he is fealing, and the anger he has to those that will not let him escape, and sends that energy to his finger, which hie does his best to direct at Soolin, and fires a blast of dark force lightning at her.

[Neyasha]

"... One"

Neyasha lets her concentrasion on the granade drop,and she goes to make a run towards where Talzen is.

[imported_Grimya]

:: Grimya leaps forward at the sound of Soolin's agony, chomping down on Talzen's left forearm as he struggles to free himself from the stunned Jedi ::

[Lord Talzen]

Talzen is pleesed that the lightning worked the way he wanted it to. Yes it hurt him as well but at least he is free of the Jedi. Talzen rolls twice, once in order to get soolin off him and again to get some distance from her. though as he is on his back and is about to roll to his feet He feals a sharp pain in his left arm. and is pulled back to the ground. He looks to see that there is a wolf now on his arm.

[Neyasha]

Neyasha gets over to talzen moments after The wolf bites Talzen's arm. She quickly plants her foot in Talzen's Groin as if she was going to use her weight on that spot to hold him down.

She puts her lightsaber away, and puts her Katana at Talzen's neck.

"I have been hunting you for almost a year now, And now the moment I've been wating for is here. You took my family from me. You took the almost normal Life I had made myself away from me. Your life is now mine, and there is nothing you can do about it. Are you ready to die today?"

[Lord Talzen]

Between the pain of the Wolf, the pain from Neyasha, and the lingering pain from all the other injuries from today, Talzen is in too much pain screem let alone talk. All he can do is look up at Neyasha with pleeding eyes, expressing his disire of not wanting to die.

[Sasha Tion]

Sasha, after several careful moments, manages to disarm the grenade. She then looks up and over to where Talzen, Neyahsa and Soolin are before standing up with the assistance of an observer, makes her way closer.

"Go ahead and kill him Neyasha. And prove to the world that you are a cold blooded killer."

[Wei Wu Wei]

Only a few feet away, a person watched. The breeze caught his ponytail it fluttered behind him like a long ribbon. His emerald green clothes shone somewhat, and a small glint around his face emphasized a small pair of glasses.

In the man's left hand was a note he had recieved from a Padawan of his. "So Neyasha, it would seem that you are on the threshold of achieving your goal."

Things were going poorly for Talzen. A Jedi woman and her animal companion had him cornered. The man pushed his glasses back onto the bridge of his nose, sighed a small sigh before calmly making his way towards the tiny battlefield.

Neyasha, keep your focus. Think with your mind, not with your heart. Your feelings are your greatest opponent, not Talzen. Take care not to be consumed by your vengence, and do not lose backbone for sympathy's sake.

Wei Wu Wei spoke into his Padawan's mind, not wanting himself to become known to all of the people involved just yet.

[Neyasha]

Neyasha was stuck in the moment. Her programing was in control. The moment was here the time to avenge her family, The for Talzen to die. Neyasha brings her foot from Talzen's groin and plants it on his chest. She raise her katana above her head and points the blade down, intending to lung the blade through Talzen's neck, and watch him die slowly. But then her masters voice come to her mind.

Neyasha, keep your focus. Think with your mind, not with your heart. Your feelings are your greatest opponent, not Talzen. Take care not to be consumed by your vengence, and do not lose backbone for sympathy's sake.

She sences him near with the force. He is watching her.

Neyasha takes one last look down at Talzen, as she plunges her her katana down at his neck. But at the last moment she diverts her blade, and the sound of metal to metal can be heard ringing next to Talzen's ear. She missed.

Neyasha drops her saber off to the side and uses the force to call a chunk of cable, that was hanging out of a trash bin, to her hand, and after a few moments of convincing the wolf to let go She goes to tie Talzen's hands together tightly behind his back. She says to Talzen in her normal emotionless tone...

"You are under arrest in the name of the GJO for the charges of Murder, Kinnapping, and other Criminal Related Activities. More charges will be layed upon you pending futher investagation. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used agienst you."

Neyasha then Binds Talzens feet with the same peice of cable, effectivly hog tieing him. Then she calls the local law enforcement so that he can be picked up and sent to jail. Then she stands, looking towards the man approching them and bows to him.

"Greeting Master."

[Soolin Anjhurin]

:: Soolin pulls herself up to her knees, still recovering from the force lightning, and watches ::

[Sasha Tion]

Sasha is clearly shocked at Neyasha's decision to just arrest Talzen instead of kill him. She stops a few feet away from Talzen and looks down at him before looking at Neyasha, Wei, and Soolin. Then, rather suddenly, she brings a foot back and delivers a rather sharp kick to Talzen's side before stepping away from him to lean against a building, one hand on her belly.

[Wei Wu Wei]

"Good job, Padawan. Take his weapons away, and keep an eye on him. He may be bound, but he's still dangerous."

Now that Talzen was more or less taken care of it seemed that Sasha had become somewhat braver and more honest about how she felt towards the man. This grieved Wei somewhat, but decided not to spend much time with it. Talzen's arrest would soon heal over any issues she might have had. At least, that's what Wei hoped.

"Are you two ok? How are you injured?" Wei asked Soolin and Sasha.

Neyasha seemed to be all right. At least, that was the Knight's assumption. That Padawan was tough as nails.

[Soolin Anjhurin]

:: Soolin stands, wincing as she gazes from Talzen to Wei ::

"He didn't make it very easy, but I'll heal."

:: She turns to narrow her eyes at Talzen again ::

[Sasha Tion]

"I'm alright for a change. He didn't really do anything to me. This time."

[Lord Talzen]

Talzen struglles as much as he can as he is being tied, He trys to break free but Neyasha holds him steady. Then finaly it sinks in..

"Wait! I thought you were going to kill me! After what I did to your family! I Enjoyed snaping the neck of your son! I enjoyed Draining the Life from your husband! Your A Killer! You should have Killed me! KILL ME!"

The last thing Talzen wants to do is go to jail and face all the Thugs that were arrested, the ones he had left for dead. He would rather die as A crime lord, not as a common criminal. Talzen would rather death, and he thought Neyasha would deliver.

[Neyasha]

Neyasha takes Talzen's weapons, and clips them to her person. She can not help but to crack a smile as Talzen almost Begs for her to kill him. She looks down at him...

"Talzen, you should know that revenge is based on emotion, and That I have no emotion..." She glances up at Wei, still with a slight smile on her face... " There is no emotion, there is peace."

She walks over to Wei and wispers to him. "If he ever sees the light of day again, If he ever gets out of jail, Next time I will take justice into my own hands."

[Wei Wu Wei]

Wei nodded. "We are called to do that every day, Padawan. But just remember that justice carries its own definition for different people."

Neyasha had shown Talzen mercy. It was probably one of the most human things he had ever witnessed in his Padawan.

"We'll need the NRSF down here. And a ysalimir to boot. Don't want him using the Force, now do we?"

Wei stood over Talzen, keeping an eagle's eye on him.

"I'll watch him, Neyasha. You need to put in a call to the authorities. And as for you two, you can go do whatever."

Then Wei remembered. "Although I would like to speak with you, Miss," he said to Sasha. "It would appear that you have been through some trauma. I would like it if you would prepare a small statement of what this man has done to you."

[Sasha Tion]

Sasha starts to laugh when Wei asks her to prepare a small statement on what Talzen's done to her.

"I'm afraid I can't do that sir. It would take more then a small statement to detail what he's done to me since he first met me after......after your padawan murdered my Father in cold blood."

Sasha glances at Neyasha and gives her a filthy look. It's obvious that she wanted to say something else about Neyasha, but isn't.

[Neyasha]

Neyasha puts the call into NRSF and informs them of the situation, and is informed that they will arrive soon.

Neyasha then hears Sasha comment about what she did to Sasha's father, and deside to add a few point to that topic. She approches her master again and comments...

"Her father was the cheif Scientist in charge of 'Project: Perfect Warrior'. He was the man that desgined me to be the way I am today, The man that transformed me into the emotionless killing machine that killed him and all other that knew how to create more people like me. His death was required to prevent my home military from having an army of people like me."

[Sasha Tion]

"NO, HIS DEATH WASN'T NEEDED"

Sasha screams at Neyasha. She hates Neyasha as much as she hates Talzen.

"My Father was not going to make more of you. I don't care what you say, you killed him in cold blood, the day before we were going to be moving. You made my Mother go insane, you made Talzen start hurting me.

And you need to pay.

He did not like what he was doing, but he had to but he promised no more. He was going to take Mom and me off to a safe place, but because of you, we never got to a safe place and now because of you, I'm pregnant with his child, because of you. Because of you, I had to grow up so I could help Mom out when she went insane because of you.

You are nothing more then a heartless cold blooded killer who will always be a heartless cold blooded killer, no matter how much you try to fool yourself and others. I'll always know what you truly are.

Why aren't you dead? You have to die to prevent our homeworld from getting more of you because you know how you were created. You Must DIE."

Sasha glares at Neyasha, anger clearly visible in her eyes.

[Wei Wu Wei]

Wei nodded solemnly. "Well, this is certainly more than I expected," he said slowly.

"I am sorry you have been through a great deal of pain, Miss. However, you need not let your heart rule over your head. Your father, though I do not doubt that he was a good man, made Neyasha into the coldblooded murderer you describe. I realize this may sound insensitive to you, but the man reaped what he had sown."

Wei took a deep breath. "I can only begin to imagine your pain, and the anger you feel. I do ask you to bear in mind that since the death of your father Neyasha has been under my tutelage and she has made considerable improvements since the experimentations made on her. Now then--"

Wei stepped calmly but swiftly between the two women. "Look at what you have become. Twisted and angry. You told Neyasha that if she killed Talzen, she would be nothing but a cold blooded killer, yes? And by the same token, if you were to kill Neyasha out of revenge, you would be no better than her, now would you?" He paused to let that thought sink in. "Now, you must please calm down. We will see what we can do for you since you are indeed pregnant. Perhaps we can find an orphanage to take the child after you have given birth. That is, if you do not want to care for the child yourself."

[Sasha Tion]

Sasha looks at Wei.

"You don't understand. My dad didn't want to do what he did. He hated his work which is why we were going to be moving. He did not deserve to die for being forced into his work. Yes, he was a scientist, but he never wanted to experiment on anybody.

You really think that I'd kill Neyasha? Even if I could, I wouldn't because it won't under the past. Yes, she deserves to die, but not by my hand even though I would love to do the task to prevent her from hurting any more innocent ppl.

If you had've come when I was first pregnant, then I would gladly have said to take the child and get it out of my life. But I've grown to love the child, despite who it's father is and I do not think I could bare giving the child up. Shrin will be helping me raise my child."

Sasha at this point crumples to the ground and starts crying.

[Neyasha]

Neyasha looks down at Sasha.

"I will not say I understand that what you have gone through has been hell for you, because I would have to have emotions in order to understand that. I will admit that I killed your father. I will admit that I was a heartless killer. But Even I can change.

Other than killing your father, I have doen nothing to you, but yet you harbour so much ill will towards me. I will not clame to understand that ether. Untill we both reached this planet, I had never met you, so it stands to reason that, yes those things you clame I did to you, could have been brought around by my actions, but I did not causes them to happen, therefor it is not my fault.

And yes I do have the information from that lab in my head, but I will never use it to create more of me. I killed them to stop production, I would not start it again."
