Black Sun Rising (FINISHED)

Visibly, nothing about Sasseeri's demenor changed. She was still leaning slightly to the left in her chair, her eyes languidly taking in the room. "You arrre offerrrjing me... yourrr prrrotectjion."

Her mouth twitched, once, and then twice, and a throaty laugh erupted from her. The foolish child had shown too much of her hand with her so-called plea. Yes, you do need me, don't you. Sasseeri quieted her chuckles, absently fiddling with the end of her tail. "Please forrrgjive me, Sorrrsha, jI fjind so ljittle humorrr these days that jit was rrrefrrreshjing to hearrr that ljittle anecdote. Now, what werrre you sayjing?"

Nar Shaddaa, yet another new location for her, as such she's slightly out of breath as she reaches the doors leading into the room where she was supposed to be several minutes ago.

Cracking the door open slightly she slips into the room and quietly closes the door behind her before she takes the first empty seat she comes across in silence.

:: Sorsha's eyes widened as she leaned forward ::

"There are people at this table who would sell their souls to have what I'm offering you."

Sasseeri raised an eyebrow, "At thjis verrry table? Maybe you should have offerrrred thjis to them."

She sat up abruptly, and slammed her hand against the table, causing a few people to jump. "You call me herrre to offerrr me thjis?!" The Vigo got to her feet, her chair falling down behind her. The twi'leki bodyguards were so alert it seemed their bodies could barely constrain them from action.

"You have wasted yourrr tjime! And my tjime as well! jI wjill neverrr serrrve anotherrr, especjially you, my dearrr Sorrrsha." She calmed a bit, and added, "Youdon't know what you've done."

Sasseeri turned to leave the room, bodyguards following with their hands on their holstered weapons.

"Black Sun is a family, Sasseeri. You join it, that means you don't get to walk out on it."

:: A big suprise was waiting for Sasseeri as the doors swung open. An impressive force of Rodians, Tragins, and Natori Shock Troops were locked and loaded in the hall, their weapons trained on the Twilek bodyguards ::

"United we stand, divided you die. Now come in and take your seat. I'm not finished yet."

She hadn't really expected any less of the traitorous Kasajian, but she had no choice but to sit back at the table. Sasseeri managed not to look like a spoiled child while she did it, too.

"jIt appearrrs that yourrr overrreaching ego has fjinally bjitten off morrre than you can chew." Her blue eyes glittered dangerously, "You just haven't rrrealjized jit yet."

Smoke curled around my head as I sat back in my chair, watching. Both women were walking on thin ice, and frankly, all the power in the room was turning me on.

Gods, this stim is good. I drew on it again, letting the smoke leave my mouth in a series of smoke rings.

"Oh? What exactly have you brought to the table? Please tell us so we can hear you."

Sasseeri didn't blink, not once, as she stared at the Vigo at the other end of the table. "What have jI brrrought to the table? To what table!? jIs thjis a negotjiatjion table between enemjies, to brrrokerrr a trruce?

"No! jIt jis not!" She was shouting, and relished it. "You brrrjing me out here on the prrretense of a meetjing, and sabotage whateverrr chance we had of worrrkjing jojintly with thrrreats and by pojintjing weapons at my perrrson!

"jIt jis a betrrrayal most fierrrce, especjially when we both agrrreed to come to thjis meetjing as collegues and unarrrmed, jif not as frrrjiends."

Sasseeri jerked to her feet, Kal lazily getting to his as well. "jI am leavjing. Thjis farrrce of a meetjing jis overrr." She looked at the others gathered and spat on the table.

The Reeouurrra entourage left the building.

' Well that went well...' Kelt said sarcasticly reclining back in his chair somewhat amushed by he felines departure. As the third Vigo of the Black Sun, Kelt had a say in the nagotations and a and in the dealings, but frankly when two woman were arguing you had little choice than to leave them at it. It seemed that Sorsha and her rival had turned up with a host of body guards and men, Kelt however was alone.

His smile went from Sorsha to the exiting Cizerack before pushing back his chair. ' If we have nothin' else to discuss?'

"Sit down, Mr. Simonson. We haven't even started."

:: Sorsha flips a sitch on the desk and the monitor on the wall shows the building's exterior for all to see. As the Reeourra Entourage exits the building, it's fired upon by snipers from above in various locations. The doors behind Sasseeri slam shut, preventing her from re-entering the building ::

Sasseeri's bodyguards threw themselves in front of her, which was what they were paid to do. Sniper bolts riddled them with smoking holes, and the feline they protected squeaked with rage as a sniper blew her brains out.

Kal Olorin ducked behind some decorative duracrete sculptures, pulling a commlink out of his pocket and yelling into it.

All of this was watched through the crosshairs of a scope from across the street. The being holding the scope hummed and tsked as the yelled message from Olorin came through the commlink in the room.

"Tragoni is down! Tragoni is down! Request immediate backup from Pride Mother!" He wasn't blindly shooting into the air, which showed how intelligent the man was. Snipers would be much too far away for his weapons to do any good.

Inside the meeting room, Sorsha would no doubt be sitting pretty, smug and gloating to the weak cattle that followed her. Saseerri was dead - their competition was gone. She would be free to rule the underworld of the galaxy.

Only a fool would have walked into that meeting blindly.

Sasseeri had never been a fool.

Pulling the scope up so that the crosshairs centered on the windows in the meeting room, Sasseeri Reeouurraa pushed the button that deployed a heat seeking missile (standard Imperial issue for blowing up armored vehicles on hostile planets) from the rocket launcher she held firmly on her shoulder. The missile streaked from the tube, through the open window of their safe room, and through the windows of the building that housed Sorsha's little friendly meeting. Three floors above the meeting room the missile detonated.

The snipers were momentarily stunned. Olorin used that moment to run across where the body they'd imagined was the Black Sun Vigo's was, and scooped up a splintered bit of the female's head. In the harsh man-made lighting it was apparent that the only blood on the courtyard was that of the twi'leki bodyguards - Sasseeri's body was leaking wires and droid parts.

Olorin was picked up by a speeder and rushed out of the area.

Sasseeri and her team across the way packed up their things and left the building. They were off planet in ten minutes.
