" Forgive me " Grakkus plead over the Holo channel in huttesse .

Jabba the hutt was shown Infront of him , the fat hutt had scarring over his chest along with his face and several burn and scorch marks over his arms and upper chest zone .

" For your mistake and continued existence after your transgressions , an annual tribute shall be paid to the one whom you offended and myself as I have to protect you from their wrath " Jabba growled out as he looked down apon the fellow hutt whom shrivelled under the gaze .

" Let this be a learning experience , For they have not called for your head . I would have been forced to do give it to then , Now ... leave me " Jabba growled out before the Holo shut off .

VAYLINS QUARTERS

Legs crossed , simply wearing wrappings across her body , Vaylin levitated over the steel floor of her room .

Energies radiating from her body as she drew herself into the force , Withdrawing a red holocron before it seperated into pieces and levitated Infront of her .

Her facial expressions softened as Nox sprung to life in the holocron , he was garbed in simple robes as he too sat with his legs crossed .

" Greetings my name is Darth Nox , Dark lord of the Sith and emperor of the eternal empire . Within this holocron holds a small portion of my knowledge of the force , With this holocron , I may permit you with a fraction of the knowledge I posses . Ask your questions , And I may permit you with an answer " The holocron apparition of Nox announced as he looked directly at Vaylin .

She closed her eyes sand attempted to gain control of her thoughts , Her wishes , Secrets of the force kept from her by her father and family , Techniques that drew from the darkest depths of the force , All held in the holocron provided to her to learn from her lord , To better herself in was she never thought would be needed.

Never in her younger days , After being released from the hellish world of Nathema would Vaylin have imagined herself training her body and mind .

In her younger days she was absolutely sure of her power , Her station , her ability to end any whom she considered a threat .

Compared to then and now , She would consider her old self the weakling , The one so desperate to find who she was and where she belonged that she would have killed any to find what she wished .

But now , She knew who she was , Where she belonged , What she wanted . And she found herself a burden . For the one she loved carried the weight of existence itself on his shoulders but did not falter , Would and could stare down entire governments and armies without worries , For his power was such he had not worry about the fleas under foot .

She had seen , Felt and craved the power that bled off of him . The power that rippled off of him even at his weakest point . She had seen the results of his own training , His ability to exercise control to the nth degree , To focus his energies and amplify said energies to such a degree it could be considered unnatural to even the strongest of individuals , The gap between them and her lover as inconceivable as the difference between life and the cosmic force .

And she wanted a taste of what it was like , To have such control , To be so far above the masses they considered you a god of gods . And so she would focus , Temper her power , Concentrate and control to unlock powers others could only dream of .

She would struggle , She would sweat and she would bleed under his tutelage , But she would endure , as she always did , She would grow and surpass those around her , For none deserved to be by his side more than her , None were as worthy as she to have even a hundredth of the power He possessed , And they would know , Either they would see or she would make them , He would be hers as much as she was his , Mind , Body and soul , And she would stop at nothing to achieve it .

Vaylin's eyes snapped open , Eyes glowing purple as energy rippled across her body , Flooding every organic aboard both the subjugation and Iokath in her presence .

Before long she closed her eyes once more , Centring herself as she dove into the deepest depths of the force , Feeling it rejuvenate every cell in her being as she unravelled its secrets .

So deep in her concentrations she was , She didn't notice her belongings and anything strapped down levitating around her as if she was the centre of the rooms gravity , the flickering of the rooms lights , The small traces of indigo coloured haze leaking from her as the holocron pulsed in tune with her rippling energy .

" I want ... everything "

HK-51

The droid stormed through the halls of the commercial starship , Standing over any organics it shoved its way past through to the back of the large vessel , Going down to the second floor and to the back of the ship towards where the lest than reputable people congregated.

" Excuse you " a trandosian growled out as it turned to the droid , The droids red eyes glaring down at the reptilian .

HK regarded the organic before simply raising it's right arm and slamming the reptilians head into the durasteel wall behind it , Opening up the back of its head and splattering it up against the wall before simply stepping over the deceased entity and moving further into the ships bowels .

Others stood back as the golden coloured droid muscled its way past without care . HK-51 raised its rifle , Pointing behind itself before letting loose a single shot into another trandosian whom had taken out a knife , Killing the reptile without turning to face the hunter as it entered another room .

Its form shimmered for a few seconds before an omni directional state of the art Holo activated , Making it take the appearance of a protocol droid , It's pace slowing as it mimicked the movements of said droids as it made its way to its target.

KIROS

Obi-Wan's eyebrow stitched as they walked through the long grass .

A flick of his ear made him swivel around and glare at the other Jedi standing beside him , The blonde teen making a duck face as she found the clouds to be quite the thing .

Anakin held his hands over his mouth as he snickered , Obi-Wan's brow twitching as he turning back to continue walking forwards.

Taking another deep breath , He parted the long grasses ahead of them as the continued their walk towards the village far ahead .

Both Jedi master's watched from behind as as Siri leant forward , Her pointer finger curled before she flicked kenobi's ears once more , The knight turned to his fellow as she let loose a bellow before the master's watched Kenobi bicker at her before she returned fire.

Anakin stood back as he watched the small argument , Laughing to himself , Siri having a small curl on the side of her lips before Obi-Wan huffed and stormed further into the tall grass at a brisk pace .

Anakin turned to Qui-Gon as the two Jedi master's followed behind slowly through the tall grasses .

" Master , How long until we reach our target " Anakin asked as Qui-gon leant down to the boy and ruffled his spiky hair .

" See those ridges over there " Qui-gon pointed out the gap between the mountains in the distance " That's where the bad men are hiding , The colonists need us to get them to leave , I'm going to need you by my side during this , Can I trust you to do so "

Anakin nodded as Qui-gon stood back to his full height and they resumed their walk towards the mountains across the grassy plains .

COMMERCIAL STARSHIP , ENROUTE TO TATOOINE

HK entered the final room of the ship before the maintenance rooms , A room full of men and women of different species and sizes .

Slowly shuffling his way to a table in the back right corner of the room , He walked by a few individuals whom watched him walk by .

Finally stopping , HK stood infront of a small troop of nikto's , A larger nikto with a scarred jaw bragging to his cohorts .

" You should have seen his face when he froze , Priceless " He bragged as he took not of HK masquerading as the protocol droid .

" You droid , Where are my drinks " The Nikto ordered as HK looked at each of the Nikto whom sat around him .

" I have been notified a bounty has been placed on your head due to the breaking of a multitude of codes , Units have been dispatched to capture you dead or alive " HK simulated the protocol droid with expert accuracy , Drawing the attention of several individuals through the room at hearing this information .

The Nikto's eyes quickly darted throughout the room as he eyed a few people who had listened in .

" I'm sure you're mistaken , I'm don't transfering world's to make a new life for me and my gang " The nikto assured as the protocol droid shook its head .

" That will no longer be necessary , The hunt in always the best part , But this one has been laughably easy " The Protocol droid shimmered for a single second before a hulking abomination appeared from its place , The Nikto's eyes widened as the droids arm shot out and smashed it's fists into the nearest Nikto's head , Fist puncturing and blasting out the back to grab the second nikto immediately behind , Crushing the man's skull before anyone had a chance to react .

He and the other four brought out the blasters put and leapt from the table , each unloading bolt of plasma on the droid .

They watched on helplessly as the bolts were absorbed into the chassis of the unknown unit before it swung it's encumbered arm out , The deceased nikto who's head had the droids arm through , Being dragged through the air and used as some sort of crude bat to crush the third nikto . In the process a cracking could be head as the top of the deceased Nikto's head broke off , Making a U formation as the body dropped to the floor , Brain matter leaking to the floor .

Only three remained as the droid gazed at its now free arm before reaching back and pulling out a humongous vibro-sword .

The three grew panicked as they shuttered back and intensified their fire .

" You're all a waste of space , Begone now " The droid droned out ominously with a deep imposing voce before swinging it's weapon in a horizontal arc , In one sweep seperating the two remaining gang members heads from their bodies before the wants bounty hunter crumbled to his knees in panic .

" Please ... please ... any of you help me , I'll pay you whatever I have just stop this thing " The nikto plead as everyone simply watched as the hulking abomination came to stand Infront of him , Leaning down at an unnatural degree before grabbing him by his chest and hoisting him up .

" I always questioned pathetic existences such as yourself , Now I've been given a chance to ... cull the herd " The droid droned out as it grabbed the top of the Nikto's head before twisting , The male nikto releasing a full on screech as it clawed at HK's limbs in an attempt to free itself .

Everyone watched in morbid fascination as HK's hand kept rotation round and round before simply tearing the man's head from his shoulders .

Unceremoniously dropping the rest of the body to the ground as it gazed at the head apatheticly .

Before long he perked up to look around the room , Red eyes scanning everyone within for several seconds .

" Would any of your happen to have a sack ... transporting it like this could be ... hazardous " HK asked as everyone stayed silent .

" Pshh pussies ... yea I do " A grey skinned mostly bald woman with a long red pony tail sticking out the back of her head leered as she produced a white sack .

" Appreciated " HK responded before grabbing the sack and dropping the head inside .

" You got a name big guy " The woman asked as HK analysed her before tilting its head slightly .

" HK-51 " The droid responded instantly drawing attention from people around the room , A few knowing the legendary status of the HK series of droids " May I acquire your name "

" Aurra sing , A pleasure " The woman smiled up at the droid in a friendly manner .

" I'm sure , Now would you know of the nearest location I could turn this in " HK asked as aurra looked up in question .

" I'd assume a bounty hunter would know of all nearby hubs " Aurra asked with a raised eyebrow .

" I am not a member as of yet , Joining the guild is my current objective and would be easier if I proved my value , Hence why I went after a relatively tough target by your standards " HK explained as it held up the bag before lowering it again .

" My standards ... what are yours " Aurra asked with a raised eyebrow as the HK unit stopped for a few moments before continuing.

" I was under the impression that this acquisition would be relatively difficult for organic beings , I my self register him as a negligible threat along side rats " HK explained as aurra stopped the twitch of her eyebrow .

" Ah yea , What'd you say is difficult " Aurra asked in curiosity at what a droid like this would mark as it's top threat .

" My maker , HK unit 55 and another who goes by the name of scorpio would be labelled as top tier difficult adversaries " HK-51 announced as Aurra raised an eyebrow .

' Don't know who the hell The first and third are ... but there's another HK out there ... interesting ' Aurra thought .

" There's another one of you out there , I'd like to meet him " Aurra pried as the HK shook its head .

" 55 is temperamental towards any organic other than maker , extended conversation with said Unit is ill advised for your continued existence " HK notified as Aurra puckered her lips in thought .

" Thanks for the advice , Oh , We'll be landing soon , I'll show you to the guild hub so you can turn in your ... acquisition " Aurra offered as HK thought for several seconds .

" Very well your assistance is appreciated " HK replied before the duo left to depart the ship.

TATOOINE

HK followed behind Aurra a few paces behind , His heavy frame thumping against the ground , His intimidating form spreading the masses as they stepped to the side to avoid the droid .

" Just around here " Aurra announced as they made their way around a corner towards a building with a few people conversing , The sand blowing at their feet .

Walking up to the building , Aurra kept her head held high as she made her way into the hub , The hunters looking at the gold and red HK unit towering over them , Sack in it's hand as they entered the establishment .

Alarms blared as HK snapped his gaze at the gates he had walked through.

" Its alright he's with me " Aurra yelled out impatiently as everyone went backtowhat they were doing as they made their way towards the counter.

" Aurra ... here for business or pleasure " A human male asked as he looked at the grey skinned woman .

" Bit of both , And helping out the big guy here , Wants to be a hunter " The human looked at HK with a raised eyebrow before scoffing .

" I take it you're vouching for it " Aurra nodded as the bondsman sighed .

" Unfortunately , As far as I can see he only has a single confirmed kill , Which only values up to five thousand ... He needs four more with another fifteen thousand to meet the requirements for joining " The man announced in a monotonous voice .

" Well I'll take four bounties with a total of fifteen thousand " Aurra snuggly announced to which the human male near sneered .

" Smart ass , Take your bounties and leave" The bondsman growled before tossing the chips at the woman .

" Pleasure as always , Come on my friend , We have targets to fetch , Leave the ... thing here " She directed as HK shrugged and dropped the head on the counter with a squelch before following the woman.

HK and Aurra exited the building as strong winds hit them , HK gazed towards the south to spy a large sand Storm in the distance .

" We're in luck , your first target is on planet , Somewhere in anchorhead , Looks like we know where we're going " Aurra announced as she pocketed the chips to look at the hulking droid .

" Why are you assisting me " HK asked as aurra shrugged .

" Good sportsmanship " Aurra half heartedly replied only to be met with silence from the droid.

" Fine ... more out of curiosity , I wanna see if the legendary HK droid can live up to its name "

" I assure you ,I am fully capable of eliminating any hostile I am sent to target " HK replied in full confidence of itself .

" Then let's put your money where your mouth is " Aurra spurred as she held up the first bounty for HK to see .

Aurra was taken by surprise as she found she sides gripped by the HK unit as it crouched .

She was about to bring out her weapon before her stomach dropped at the droids sudden propulsion , A burst wrung in her ears as it took her a moment to notice they wear souring over mos Eisley as the HK unit brought her close to his chest .

" Abit of warning next time " Aurra announced as she gripped onto the droids frame .

" Your advice will be taken into consideration " HK droned out as they flew over the walls of the town and towards anchorhead station .

The Jet-pack built into HK-51's back roared loudly as windows of vehicles below rattled .

As they passed over some small dunes , HK took note of a small volley of plasma bolts heading in their direction .

Dodging out of the way of the incoming fire , Aurra looked down at the small figures , Listening. to their beastial communication .

" Tuskens " Aurra growled as she took note of HK'S shoulders shifting on each side as his shoulder blades opened up , multiple pops being registered in her ears as eight small rockets launched from his back , Careening through the air towards the targets .

Aurra smirked as the rockets impacted the surface in eight colossal explosions that shook the ground , Glassing the dunes they hit , Turning their targets to slag before continuing on .

" Meatbags eliminated " HK announced as Aurra chuckled .

" You're just full of surprises " Aurra observed as HK regarded her for a second before the speed they were going at increased as they flew over the dunes .

HOURS LATER - OUTSIDE OF ANCHORHEAD

Coming to a sliding stop , Sand being tossed to the skies as he leant back .

Slowly , HK lowered Aurra to the ground as she glared up at the unit .

" Couldn't you have done a gentler landing " Aurra asked as HK shrugged .

" I don't usually have to worry about a passenger " HK replied as Aurra sighed and motioned towards the busting anchorhead .

" Point taken , Now come on, We have a bounty to acquire " Aurra announced before beginning to walk toward the town .

" See anything " Aurra asked as she layed flat against a sandstone rooftop , HK crouched beside her as she looked at fortified bunker before them .

" There are twenty five hostiles within , Target is protected by four of his men and the rest are patrolling throughout on what appears to be designated paths " HK notified as Aurra looked at him with a raised brow .

" You know this how " Aurra asked as HK tapped his head .

" Superiors hardware and programming , I detect any organic being that falls in range of my scanners , walls or not " HK notified as it returned to scanning the bunker ahead .

" Thats sounds handy " Aurra asked as HK seemed to ponder for several seconds .

" It is " HK replied as he hefted his rifle before seperating it into pieces .

" What are you doing " Aurra asked as a compartment opened up on HK-s chest cavity.

" Upgrades , My rifle is currently not suitable for this mission , I am changing it " HK notified as Aurra watched him eject the cartridge from the rifle .

" I've never seen a rifle like that , What's it's model " Aurra asked as HK pulled out a second plasma cartridge .

" Its a unique variant of the Max-Tac HUD rifle , Maker provided me unique blueprints to construct this weapon along with the technology to upgrade it " Aurra watched HK tweak with the focussing array and system .

" So ... what can it do " Aurra asked as HK changed its gas cartridge out with the other he withdrew .

" Given sufficient materials , It can be altered to take plasma , Gas and electromagnetic shots , Can be changed from single fire blasters bolts to full automatic shots or a long range sniper which I am currently changing it to " HK notified as the altered barrel was inserted .

' I wander if I can get my hands on it ' Aurra thought as she fumbled with her blaster hilt as she stared at the droid now reassembling his rifle .

" Affirmation , Dead or alive " HK asked as he looked at the guage on the weapon displaying how much power has was left in the rifle .

" What " Aurra asked now being standoffish , The droid standing to its full height .

" Would you like the target dead or alive " HK asked as he turned to face the bunker .

" Alive " Aurra asked as HK braced , taking aim with his rifle before aiming at the front door .

" Affirmative " HK replied as a low resonating hum escaped his sniper .

' There's now way ' Aurra thought as the weapon shook before releasing the shot , Flying from the barrel before almost instantly impacting the bunker door , A large molten hole of about fort centimetres at the centre of the two sliding doors .

' It melted through the blast doors , What now ' Aurra thought as HK leapt from the roof top , Igniting the jetpack to come to a stop at the doors .

Aurra watched stunned as HK grabbed the hole , She could hear the the the doors groaning as she stood agape .

With a groan , The doors slowly began to seperate as the hulking form of HK pried the doors open .

' Now I definitely want one ' Aurra thought as she heard worried yells , Putting the binoculars to her eyes .

She watched as a blaster bolt impacted HK's head , The droid not flinching as more bolts impacted its head and chassis .

' What the hell is it made of ' Aurra thought as she watched the plasma bolts disperse harmlessly across the panels of its chassis .

She heard the yells become more frantic as the blast doors began to buckle under the pressure , The doors groaning as sparks flew from the control panel inside .

The streams of plasma kept coming as HK was blanketed in the desperate bid for life .

With one last groan , Aurra released a low chuckle as she watched the doors systems give way , The control panel Exploding as it shut down , The sheer strength HK possessed forcing the doors to open as far as his arms would allow .

" Threatening statement , My turn " HK ominously announced as he hefted his vibro-sword in one hand and his sniper in the other .

Panicked yells escaped from the group of fifteen men as HK's shoulder pads opened Eight rockets being propelled from within as HK shot a ninth directly to his right .

The targets tried to dodge as they leapt behind cover .

Only two managed two escape the rockets as the others eviscerated their intended targets , Exploding in clouds of shrapnel and fire as they died .

With a flick of his wrist , The vibro-sword flew through the air before Buring itself into a pirates chest , Collapsing to the ground as he clutched the weapon .

HK stepped forward with a heavy footed clunk , Volleys of plasma flying in his direction as a blue shield appeared around him, Dispersing the shots harmlessly across it's surface .

MOMENTS PRIOR

Marco would never call himself an honest man , He ran a business on scamming people , Taking from anyone unfortunate to be fooled into taking part in his schemes .

But now , After scamming some noble bitch from some outer rim planet of cats , She had placed a bounty on him , Apparently she wanted him alive .

But Marco wasn't anything if not careful , He had a plan , A suitable planet to just lay low and live out the rest of his days , The people he had surrounding him were pirates interested in the pay he was offering to keep him guarded until his ship arrived .

' I just need to wait ' The twilek thought as he sat back and kicked his feet up onto the counter ' Half an our and then I'm home free '

A loud pang drew his attention as well as the pirates he guarded himself with , Slowly sitting up as he looked down at the first floor towards the closed blast doors .

" Well that doesn't look good " A female Nikto stated to her human mate as they looked at the hole in the centre of the blast doors .

Hearing a sizzling , Marco looked downwards to see that whatever had blasted through had also punctured three storage containers .

" One job , That's all it is , Just one easy job , So please ... just go away " Khane mumbled as he approached the molten hole in the blast doors slowly .

Looking towards the other fourteen crew members on their floor , They slowly took measured steps , The sunlight piercing through as it lit up his feet as he walked under the path of the sun .

" Don't let it be anything " Khane uttered as he stopped Infront of the doors and prepared to look out .

He however , Recoiled as golden fingers on two hands appeared in the hole , the back of the hands pressed against each other as the fingers dug into the steel .

' They can't get through , They can't get through , They can't get through ' Khane repeated over and over as he took aim with his weapon in preparation to shoot the hands .

He was however , Horrified at the intense groan offered up by the doors , His heartrate quickening as he watched , Centimetre by centimetre the doors seperated .

And before his very eyes , Two molten orbs , Blazing like the sun stared at him , Their cold unfeeling lenses taking him in , Everything that his cowardly life ever was and would be was layed bare for this monster to see .

With shaking arms , Khane shot the monster in the head , Hoping for it to fall , To die and pass onto whatever life there was after .

But his wishes were for naught , As whatever it was , Didn't even flinch , The cold gaze of the beast froze him before he took another shot , The doors continuing to open against their own will under the might of the monster before them .

With the emptying of the first clip , Khane slipping in a second gas canister and once more opened fire .

He wasn't alone now however , As his panic had spread to his friends around him , Each one taking aim and emptying their cartridges into the unstoppable beast Infront of them .

The streams of plasma were like a wall , Any normal creature would have turned to slag under both the heat and power behind the bolts , But whatever this was , Whatever monster had come for them , It didn't care , It didn't flinch , It didn't stop , And with one more heave , The motors of the door gave way and the doors simply slid open under the monstrosities beastial strength allowing it full entry

Marco shook , The thing down down there stood at over seven foot , Golden in colour as it stepped through .

Its piercing red eyes locking on with his own before it's attention was taken by the ones whom were supposed to protect him down stairs .

' I have to go ' Marco panicked as he fled the room , Down the stairs with the two leaders of the pirate gang close behind , He along with the two behind didn't stop at the screams of their underlings , The explosions that rocked the building , They ran , Into the back corridors and through the bunker in an effort to get to the back exit .

Aurra listened as she leant against the blast doors , The cries of the men inside amusing her as she heard they plea , Others putting up a fight against the monstrosity that muscled his way into their bunker .

Blaster fire ricochet off surfaces , The light of the bolts illuminating their paths as the red glow Shon through the doors .

Explosions rocked the bunker as Aurra waved off a few civilians who hurried along .

Aurra's attention was drawn to the side of the building as she heard a scuffle .

She leapt back as a speeder nearly took her out , The driver frantically attempting to escape .

Stepping through the gap between the blast doors , HK turned to observe the fleeing target .

" You sure he is required alive " HK asked as she took aim with the rifle .

" That would be best " Aurra confirmed as HK slightly altered his trajectory , Letting the shot fly without looking through the scope .

' There's no way ' Aurra thought as she watched the bolt fly into the distance .

Aurra let loose an appreciative whistle as she watched the bolt impact the back of the speeder , Tossing it's pilot into the air as the bike tumbled and exploded away from the driver .

Slinging his rifle , HK leapt into the air as his pack activated , The roar of the streams vibrating the glass within nearby objects as HK impacted the ground beside the groaning man .

The man lifted his head to stare at the golden coloured monstrosity towering over him .

" P...please... I'll pay any amount " The man pleaded as HK lowered himself to the human pirate .

" This isn't about credits , This is my mission , And you're a simple step in that mission " HK punched the man over the head as he collapsed into the ground , HK lifting him by the back of his shirt before turning to the approaching Aurra sing .

" Keep performing like that and I may have to make a crew with the two of us " Aurra chuckled as HK stared at her for a few moments .

" Perhaps , Let us turn in this meatbag " HK replied as he held the man up .

" Come on you don't have to do this " The man plead as he was dragged through the sands of Tatooine by the hulking abomination towards the guild hub .

" Are you sure we need him alive " HK asked as he looked to Aurra who chuckled .

" Unfortunately " Aurra grumbled as their attention was drawn back to the man as he slipped out of his shirt and attempted to run as fast as he could " He's getting away "

With a blur , sands thrown to the air as HK sprinted , Grabbing the man by the back of the head as he reappeared .

The man chocked as he was lifted from the ground by an agitated HK , Aurra was unsure of the man's survival as the droid drew his other arm , The claws of the droids hand opening wide as the hand went to the centre of the man's back .

" Hey what are you doing ... what are ... AHHH " The man screamed as HK's hand punctured the man back , Blood spurting as the claws dug in .

" What are you doing " Aurra urgently asked as the droid pulled a clasped fist from the man's back as he stopped struggling , His whimpers easily audible .

" Ensuring he won't be escaping again " HK replied as Aurra looked at HK's outstretched hand .

" I... I can't feel my legs " The man cried as HK tossed the vertebrae from the man to the sands beside them .

" Thats one way to ensure he isn't going anywhere I guess " Aurra chuckled as a few onlookers regurgitated , Holding their hands to their mouths to stop their meals from coming back up .

" We have a delivery to make " HK announced before continuing along the sands , Shaking his hand once to rid it of the precious life fluid of his captive .

" Alive as requested ... mostly " Aurra announced as they entered the guild hub .

" I see " The elder male announced as he fingered his grey beard as HK dropped the paralysed man on the floor .

" Just three more now " Aurra purred as she twiddled her fingers Infront of the hub manager .

" Just go , I don't have the patience for your games " The man growled as Aurra turned away with HK following closely behind .

" We need a ship " Aurra announced as HK looked at her for a second .

" Easily sorted , Follow me , I may have an idea of where to acquire transport " HK announced as he began to make his way to Mos Eisley spaceport .

KIROS

" It has five entrances , A single rooftop access , And one entrance for each side " Obi-Wan announced as all five of their party layed flat and observed the building below .

" They have six guards watching the perimeter from the roof and four patrolling at any given time " Siri announced as Qui-gon and adi nodded .

" Okay , We need to get past their patrols and under the gaze of the watchers , We need to get in and free the captives , We can't get caught and risk them executing them " Adi announced as Obi-Wan , Siri and Anakin nodded .

" Anakin you're to stay at my side at any given moment , Whatever I say you do without argument " Qui-gon ordered as Anakin bobbed his head .

" Yes master " Anakin confirmed as everyone got on their feet .

" Let's go " Adi began as she lead everyone down the steep incline and towards the facility down below .

THE SUBJUGATION - WAR DROID DEPLOYMENT ROOM - ENROUTE TO IOKATH

" Wake up " Nox's voice wrung out throughout the bowls of the subjugation , Standing tall and proud as he activated two of the six godlike droids which were currently each stored within their own deployable pods .

Each pod varied in size , The smallest was atleast five times the size of a human being with the largest being larger than some starships.

The first three pods , The smallest , Were six sided pods with a power supply cable stuck to their tops , Each one had a small control panel on the front of their pods , Showing the current status of their occupants.

With a low hum , Power cables hanging from the hanger sized room lit up with blue light as the power was diverted to the two pods .

With a hiss , The two pods were slowly brought forward before lowering to the ground , The humongous crates hitting the polished surface with a heavy clank .

Nox watched with a small smirk as the front of the pods slid around with a slow hiss .

" Wake up " Nox's voice announced once more as two droids powered up and stepped down from their containment pods .

Both feminine looking droids knelt down , Their heads bowed in submission even though they towered over the human esk being Infront of them .

" Esne , Aivela , Raise your heads and answer me honestly " The two droids did as ordered the yellow and red sisters looking to their lord and master .

" What is your question my lord " Esne asked as Nox regarded the red and silver droid .

" You are aware I am the one to have destroyed you in the past , Yet I am also the one to sanction your reconstruction , I ask , Are you loyal to me , and only me in the sense that if the galaxy turned against me , Including your Homeworld and original creators , Would you stand by my side with your brother's and sisters and lay waste to the masses " Nox asked as he regarded the droids intently as they regarded him , Their heads tilted lightly as if to convey confusion.

" Of course , Our loyalty lies with you , Our very existence is tied to you , without you we serve no purpose , we'd give our lives to ensure you kept your own " Aivela almost pled as she moved closer , lowering herself closer to Nox as her Metallic head smashed into the ground , Soon followed by her sister doing the same .

" Very good then " Reaching forward , Around the heads of the humongous droids , Nox pulled off Aivela's limiter before doing the same to her sibling droid .

" Do keep in mind , That if you are to even think of turning against me, I can kill both of you both with a simple thought , Come along now , We have things to do " With his orders received , The two droids stood to their full height before their feet left the ground and proceeded to hover before taking to following Nox a few paces behind him , The two droids looking around as they followed in curiousity , Studying the ship they found themselves in , The sisters of carnage analysing the ship they found themselves hovering through .

KIROS - SLAVE STORAGE FACILITY

" Anakin , Down " Qui-gon yelled out as Anakin crouched low before rolling to take cover behind a large crate .

Obi-Wan and Siri stood side by side in the long hallway , Their lightsabers ignited as they redirected blaster fire .

Adi Gallia herself was around the corner as she remained back to protect the tagrutan slaves as they huddled , Remaining close together , Their weariness easily evident on their faces .

Qui-gon stood at the end of the hallway next to Anakin as he began to march forward , His green bladed lightsaber arcing around and striking any shots which passed by the two other Jedi ahead of him .

With a nod towards Obi-Wan which the teen reciprocated , Obi-Wan shrugged off his brown cloak before he burst forward in a blur of speed , Facing forward with his lightsaber pointed towards the ground , The weapon leaving a molten gash as it ran across the steel floor .

Clearing the ten metre distance between himself and the slavers , Leaping into the air , Obi-Wan front flipped over the first two slavers and right into the group of eight men .

No matter what anyone said , Obi-Wan was an observant and intelligent individual , A prodigy with the lightsaber with a cunning mind .

The reemergence of the Sith on Tatooine on naboo , How seemingly ineffective his masters form four was , The aggressive nature of the opponents of form seven.

He could see the flaws in both , And hence he decided to become a focussed practiconer of form three soresu . Focussing on defence and weathering the storm so to say .

' Nothing like the present to practice ' Obi-Wan smirked as he began to redirect the plasma bolts coming in his direction from all sides .

With fluid motions , circular arcs , Rotating wrists and expert footwork . Obi-Wan's lightsaber became a blur to all observing , Blocking a shot to the stomach before swinging his arms rose overhead , Lightsaber pointed to the ground as it swung to protect his back , The shot bouncing off the blue bladed weapon to strike the shooter in the torso .

Anakin watched , Slack jawed as Obi-Wan protected himself , The teen occasionally rotating , The expert swordsmanship left Anakin awed . Not once did Obi-Wan move to strike his opponent , Not once did he over step or overextend .

And before long , The eight men had played their hands and paid the price , Each baring scorched marks across a portion of their bodies from their own bolts .

Holding his blade beside his body as he looked down all four hallways , Obi-Wan soon disengaged his lightsaber and clipped it to his belt before turning and jogging back down the hallway to the group .

Accepting his cloak from Siri with a small smile .

Qui-gon approached with a small smile of his own .

" You've truly come into your own " Qui-gon offered as he pat Obi-Wan on the shoulder .

Siri was about to comment before she watched her master come around the corner with the rescued slaves , Wincing lightly as she saw her master's disappointed look .

" Master ... I " Siri began as Adi Gallia shook her head .

" You're actions out not only ours , But theirs and possibly anyone else in this facilities lives in danger ... We'll talk about this later " Adi Gallia finished as she turned and took to guiding the survives through the hallways .

" Don't worry , You did what you thought was right , That's all any of us can do " Qui-gon offered as Siri nodded while looking pointedly at the ground .

" We don't have much time , I'll guide them to the exit , Anyone else has no doubt been notified of our presence , We must find any other survivors quickly . I'll join you when this group is save " Gallia announced with a tone that spoke of no argument .

" Siri , Obi-Wan , You two go south . I'll go north with Anakin , We'll link up on the second floor , Let's go " Qui-gon finished before they all split , Anakin looking over his shoulder to Obi-Wan consoling a sighing Siri as they turned a corner .

TATOOINE

HK analysed the ship they were staring at with contempt conveyed easily by his posture .

" Must we " HK asked as Aurra nodded , The two of them standing Infront of a freighter of hideous design .

" You got any other ideas " The palliduvan looked at the droid with a raised eyebrow .

" I might ... " HK offered before sighing and beginning the walk towards the freighters ramp , The pale skinned woman following behind the massive droid as he stormed up and into the rusted ship .

" Hey who're you " A duro's announced his presence by hefting a wrench into his hands .

" Are you alone on this ship " Aurra asked as HK approached the Duro's who made a warning gesture with the wrench .

" The cap'n will be back in a sec with the crew , Now scram " The Duro's growled before screeching , Golden fingers clasped around his large head , Lifted from the ground and in one swift motion , His head exploded into shards of bone , Bran matter and blood which coated both HK and the surroundings ship .

" We have a bounty to collect " HK simply stated before he marched through the ship towards the bridge , Aurra closing the ramp of the ship with a small chuckle before deciding to scour their newly acquired ship .

IOKATH - CONTAINMENT FACILITY

" What is this ... thing " Esne asked as she and Aivela stood on either side of Nox .

The trio stood in a control room overlooking a gigantic circular room that took up an obscene amount of room . The only entrances to the room were two door on either side of the control room , A walkway that encompassed the entirety of the outside of the room connected to the control room .

On the far side of the room was an elevator which lead to another walkway that was connected to the roof of the room .

The floor of the room itself opened up to the void of space , Since the facility was located on the very outer ( bottom) floors of the Iokath Dyson sphere , Ready to eject any inhabitant into the vacuum of space , On the outside were twenty warships with their weapons constantly trained on the entrance , Ready to eliminate the ejected subject .

" That my friend , Is the colossal monolith " Nox answered as the gigantic sith magic construct glared intensely at the control room , attempting to shake itself from its restraints before the collar around its neck released an absurd amount of electricity into the entities body .

" How did you capture such a beast " Aivela asked as Nox studied the beasts , Looking at the scars which littered its body , Many of which he had dealt the beast himself .

" I dropped a canyon roughly twice it's size on it after an intense battle , It was remarkably easy to transport while incapacitated " Nox regarded as the monolith roared in defiance , The collar once more lighting up .

" Amazing " Esne replied as she analysed the age old creature .

" What are we going to do with it " Aivela asked as Nox pondered his words .

" The colossal monolith was one of several subjects to have shown anomalous traits , This one is by far the largest and longest lived , Having apparently survived a battle with me long before my prime and a few comrades of ages past . Others of its make were significantly smaller than this individual as well as some ... unique abilities . Throughout this facility there are fourteen more much smaller containment cells , I will create as many more monoliths of this specific species as it takes to figure out how this one turned out to be as such , You both will help me in this for the time being " Nox replied as the two droids eagerly accepted newest orders from him .

" What would you have me do " Esne asked as the towering doors of the control room opened according to Nox's will .

" You will collect skin and DNA samples from this specimen while I will begin the creation of the other fourteen " Nox stated as Esne nodded and immediately began her movements to access the creatures hide directly .

" And myself my master " Aivela asked as Nox motioned for her to follow .

" You will assist me in the creation of these other fourteen and the collection of their own skin samples , Afterwards we will analyse and compare results before moving onto the second lot of tests " Nox answered the droids question as she awaited her task eagerly .

" Of course master " Aivela replied as the doors shut closed behind the duo .

ENROUTE TO CORUSCANT

" Take us through the industrial sector , We don't want to draw too much attention to ourselves " Aurra announced as the group dropped out of hyperspace .

The overhead wire sparked violently as the ship shook , An audible groan escaping HK as the freighter around them shuttered .

" They seriously didn't bother with the upkeep of their ship did they " Aurra's eyebrow twitched as HK leant forward slightly as he guided the ship , The droid reached up towards the sparking wires before gripping them and pulling them from their sockets before tossing them into the corner of the bridge .

" They have also done a horrible job of modifying this vessel . Their wiring is faulty , The Power cells are fluctuating , There are a multitude of other problems throughout this vessel , I am unsure of how this ship is functioning " HK notified as the ship entered coruscant's atmosphere .

The HWK-290 rattled as a small explosion ripped across the right wing .

" It appears i may have to perform an immediate emergency landing " HK mused before forcing the freighter into a deep dive towards the city planet .

" We're not going to make it to the industrial sector , There is an underworld access I will be guiding us through , It contains heavy traffic , Strap yourself in " HK ordered as the controls shook in his grip , Aurra herself quickly sat herself down , Clipping herself in before grasping the harness with all her might .

" You sure you can get us through this " Aurra asked as HK stayed silent before dignifying her with a response .

" I have studied and practiced the art of flight and aerial combat under my makers tutelage . I am roughly twenty five percent of makers skill according to my calculations , This will be more than enough for any scenario we find ourselves in " HK notified as Aurra paled at HK's declaration.

'we're so fucked ' Aurra thought as the ship shook once more , Smoke trailing behind the right wing as flames consumed the thrusters .

" We have a fuel leak in the right wing , Redirecting power , Isolating leak " HK announced as he tapped at a flat screen situated to his side , A red blaring alarm escaped the console as soon as he attempted to isolate the leak .

" Fuel leak isolation failed , Coolant now leaking , Shutting down power in thruster four " HK notified .

Aurra leant forward to look out the view port towards the right wing , Her breath catching in her throat as she watched another explosion rock the wing , keys of fire and smoke tearing through the steel as the wing became more and more unstable .

" We're ahhh ... about to lose a wing " Aurra announced as HK once more redirected power to the left wing .

" I am already aware " HK responded as wire burst from the ceiling " We're about to enter the sub levels , Brace yourself "

Aurra gripped the harness again as she watched the towering cities pass the view port , The view showing the inner bowls of the planet as they now faced completely downwards .

The ship lurched violently to the side as the right thrusters tore from the hull of the ship .

" We're still going to fast " HK muttered as he looked for a way to slow the ship as he used the ships limited manueverability to dodge other vehicles in the underground access .

Looking as deep into the depths of coruscant , HK guided the ship deeper and deeper into the city planets depths .

Rearing back his right arm as he used his left to pilot , HK began to pummel the window , Obliterating the glass and warping steel while heavy winds assaulted the pale woman behind him .

Standing from his seat , Activating his magnetic locks on the bottom of his feet , Using one hand to guide the ship through the air traffic as they dove , HK grabbed aurra , Forcing her to unclip her harness as HK let go of the controls .

As soon as he did so the entire ship began to veer to the left , Careening through the air towards the ships demise .

HK grabbed the roof with his left hand and hefted both himself and Aurra through the hole in the cockpit he had made , Sticking to the outside of the vessel with his magnetic locks , Holding the palliduvan to his chest plate .

The ship began to dive through the levels faster and faster as HK crouched against the top of the vessel as the woman clutched at his golden body .

With a roof denting leap , The tightening of Aurra's grip on him , The feeling of weightlessness washing over her before her stomach lurched .

It was all over before she even knew it , A jarring rock shook her body before everything was silent .

She would have thought she was dead, Had the sound of a colossal explosion followed by a heat wave washed over her from the levels down below .

Slowly she opened her eyes to look at the dark and damp level they found themselves on .

Lowering herself from the droids body , She slowly made her way to the edge of the drop , Peering over the edge towards the trail of fire down below .

" We must depart at once , The authorities are no doubt on their way " HK notified before immediately turning and departing the scene .

" Right " Aurra accepted before quickly making her way to the droid .

IOKATH

Nox watched as Aivela hefted a newly created monolith by it's neck with her left arm , Crushing its neck under her grip as she used her right arm to take samples directly from its flesh .

With the first creatures samples collected and stored into capsules via Nox using telekinesis to move the collected materials as well as the required instruments .

A group of uniquely coloured black purifier droids entered the large sterile room , fourteen containment cells lined two sides of the room , Seven on each side while two more Large doors were placed on the other two walls . In overall height the room was a staggering thirty feet in height , Giving more than enough clearance for the sisters of carnage to move about freely .

In the centre of the room was a console controlling the gates to all fourteen cells .

Other than that , The room was bare and sterile , Simply working as a containment room for the subjects housed in the cells . However there were four monitor systems , The floating obelisks sing observing and managing the facility in their masters steed .

The newborn monolith groaned submissively before being tossed back into its cell by Aivela , The black purifier droids taking the first batch of samples .

" Have them delivered straight to Plagueis , I'm sure he would be as interested as I with the anomalous nature of the colossal monolith " Nox ordered as the squad of purifiers moved and exited through the northern facing door .

Moving towards the console , Nox activated the cell shield as it shimmered to life , Seperating the newborn monolith , The other thirteen newborn creatures shifted around aimlessly as Aivela moved to join Nox in his departure .

departing the containment room , The duo began to move back towards the entrance of the facility where they were going to link up with Esne whom was waiting for them .

" Aivela , Tell me , Apart from your apparent energy manipulation , Particle beams and firing abilities , what are your other combat capabilities " Nox asked the silver and yellow droid whom pondered his question .

" Our original creators were satisfied with the scope of our abilities , apart from control of the mainframe and ability to command external devices , I and my sister along with skyva do not posses very potent physical combat abilities , Tyth would be the foremost at hand to hand combat and weapons use " Aivela explained as Nox took on a sour look .

" hmm , Would you be willing to learn and accept modifications to your current systems " Nox asked as Aivela rose a hand to her chin and ran the steel of her fingers across her feminine features.

" I believe this is a favourable set of events , Yes , I believe my sister would also benefit this offer " Aivela replied as Nox nodded , The two turning left at a junction , Walking up a ramp leading toward an elevator that served as an entrance to the facility .

HK and Aurra stayed in the shadows , Any chance they got she would be hoisted up by HK as he would propel them up another level to ascend to the higher levels .

Keeping their heads down , The two avoided the less than stellar individuals , HK's hulking frame keeping the weaker scum away as they shied away from his unsettling red eyed gaze .

" Up " HK ordered as he grabbed a hold of Aurra and kept up through another floor with the help of his jetpack , Drawing the attention of the levels residents as they stalked the shadowy lands .

" What level does this make us " Aurra asked as HK landed , Lowering the woman before she dusted off her red outfit .

" We are two hundred and seventy levels from the surface , our current target was last sighted on level forty seven , We can acquire reliable transport to the higher levels at around the hundred to hundred and fiftieth floors .

" What about unreliable " Aurra asked as they stepped into a damp alleyway .

" Law is barely kept the lower you go , I suspect there may be transport owned by the less than reputable individuals of this area . If we locate said transport , it shouldn't be difficult to make them ... part with it " HK notified as Aurra thought for several moments before accepting HK's logic .

" When do you think we'll be able to return to the ventilation shaft " Aurra asked as HK guided them through the streets .

KIROS

Moving the slaves from the facility was a long and arduous task , Keeping them safe was an even more difficult task .

The first group had been easily transported from the slavers compound with master adi Gallia , The first group hung around the nearby mountain , Taking refuge as adi Gallia returned to the compound for the other groups .

While moving the second group , Things had become significantly harder , Siri had accidentally alerted them to the group presence , the group of four had been swiftly dealt with , But the facility was now aware of their presence . The group of Jedi had split up , Obi-Wan and Siri had taken Anakin with them to move and rescue the rest of the slaves trapped within the levels of the facility while Qui-gon and adi Gallia had taken to drawing the majority of the attention of the slavers through the building , Forcing them into a chase , Culling their numbers while Obi-Wan and Siri liberated the groups locked in the second and third cell block .

" Come on " Obi-Wan yelled out as they ran right at a junction , Lightsaber in hand as Siri and Anakin were hot on his trail , The second and third group of slaves themselves were close by .

" The exits just up here " Obi-Wan yelled out as he skidded to a stop " Siri , I need you to take Anakin , You two must guide these people to the mountains "

" And what will you be doing " Siri asked , Face contorted in worry as Obi-Wan shook his head .

" I'm going to get master's Qui-gon and adi Gallia , Take them , Get them to safety , We'll meet you on your way back to the villages " Obi-Wan stated , Face made of stone as Siri shifted and Anakin looked uncomfortable .

" Are you sure ... " Siri asked , voice worry .

" I am , You have safety in numbers , people who know these lands and can guide you on the safest path to their people . But master Qui-gon and Adi Gallia are in danger , We'll be back , I'll bring them back " Obi-Wan stated confidently as he put a hand on Siri's shoulder before rustling anakin's hair before shrugging off his cloak and passing it to the young boy " I'll be back for that "

Siri watched alongside Anakin as Obi-Wan reignited his lightsaber and took off deep into the bowls of the facility , Cursing her of stubbornness and clumsiness , For it was her , her brashness that had caused the mission to go so far left .

She had run , At the first sight of the slavers and attempted to subdue the first one she saw , Not noticing the others , And for that they had nearly been caught , She had done the same yet again , Not being observant enough as she raced around the facility in the need to find the residents of the planet .

She had been admonished not once but three times by her master , But none of it compared to watching him run back into the bowls of the building , Because of her bald headedness causing their issues , Placing himself in danger to rescue the people whom had raised them .

Drawing herself to her full height , she turned to Anakin and gently guided him and the togrutan people out of the facility , Aiming for the mountains where the first group was held up .

Anakin and Siri both looked over their shoulder back toward the building , Anakin drawing the cloak over his shoulders as he clutched at it , The large group beginning the trek to join up with their people .

Steeling his breath , Keeping his calm and not letting his insecurities cloud his judgement , Obi-Wan tore through the hallways of the building , Following the path left by the Jedi master's , Towards the sounds of battle .

Leaping , Planting his foot halfway up the corner of the wall , A startled gasp escaped a trandosian as it hefted its weapon , Obi-Wan using his momentum to use the wall as a springboard , bouncing off the wall as he swung , Bisecting the lizard in half before continuing in his sprint towards the Jedi master's .

' Come on , Just a little longer ' Obi-Wan thought as he rounded another corner , A group of four standing at the end of the hallway .

The group quickly took notice of him and opened fire , Obi-Wan's sabre flashing Infront of him as he swung , Each swing redirecting and blocking the barrage of bolts heading in his direction .

One or two bolts returned to their sender's as the man on the furthest left fell to the ground , Burnt alive by his one superheated plasma .

It took five seconds for Obi-Wan to clear the gap between himself and the group , Swiftly disarming the group and with a burst of energy , Knocked them unconscious with a force push , The men being flung across the way and knocking against the steel walls .

And just like that Obi-Wan continued on the sprint to his master's .

SCORPIO , ATHLA'GIROTH AND NIHILUS

" This is quite the interesting find you've brought to me , These two monitoring devices are similar , But it appears this one is being hijacked by a second source , Transmitting its data to a party in the direction of the outer rim worlds " Scorpio announced as she analysed the two devices brought straight to her .

" So there are two forces trying to monitor our movements , Any idea who " The blonde Nihilus asked as Scorpio looked closer into the first of the devices .

" I recognise these systems , They are reminiscent of an isolationist species found within the unknown regions " Scorpio replied as Athla rubbed his chin for several seconds .

" What should we do then " Athla asked Scorpio and Nihilus as Scorpio and Nihilus regarded the hulking entity for a few moments .

" I suggest we don't make any hasty choices , We will wait for the emperor to give his input , I believe he has had contact with these beings in the past , In the meantime , You are to scour all nearby systems for similar devices " Scorpio instructed as Athla swiftly turned and departed .

" Do you believe we will come into conflict with these ... isolationists " Nihilus asked as Scorpio turned to Nihilus .

" Should our Lord decide , We will , But there have been agreements in the last with these people , They are negotiable " Scorpio replied as Nihilus nodded for a few moments .

" For their sake , let's hope they're as negotiable as they were In the past " Nihilus stated as Scorpio nodded .

" For there sake " Scorpio affirmed as Nihilus soon departed the room .

" Now let's see if we can't find where you're transmitting " Scorpio pondered as she went to the hijacked device and began to tinker with it .

KIROS

The force channeled through him , Leaping through the hallways as a blur to non force sensitives , With the end of the corridor in sight , Energy rippling along the palm of his free hand , Obi-Wan reached forward and made a pushing motion .

The energy gathered in his palm distorted the air as it was released , quickly clearing the distance between Obi-Wan and the final door before impact .

The door was rendered into shards as the remained splintered and peppered several slavers within the room .

Sliding to a stop , All attention in the room came to him , sweat pouring down. his brow as he held his lightsaber Infront of him . He could feel his master confusion as the Jedi master's were centred at the middle of the room , Surrounded on all sides by the slavers .

" So we've got another one here " A devaronian sneered as he turned his weapon to Obi-Wan .

A female zabrak of yellow skin tone growled as she to turned to face Obi-Wan .

" Take them all out , Then we must gather the pathetic worms again,. We can't fail krayn again " The woman growled before they began to open fire .

With a force imbued leap , Kenobi leapt over the ring of slavers and to the side of the two Jedi master's , Taking point as the slavers opened fire .

" Obi-Wan what are you doing here " Qui-gon asked as he blocked a blaster bolt into the roof .

" I couldn't leave you two alone , Siri and Anakin are leading the unfortunate away from this place , But I wasn't gonna just let you two perish here " Obi-Wan replied as he swung his lightsaber in three arcs , blocking heavy fire and sending a shot back to its sender .

" It appears we both have brash Padawan's " Adi Gallia chuckled as she drew a crate into a Duro's with the force .

" Indeed , But none of that now , Obi-Wan , Adi , Cover me " Qui-gon ordered as he knelt down and plunged his lightsaber into the second floor on the facility .

" They're trying to escape , forget recovering anything , incendiaries " The yellow skinned woman yelled as the group of slavers drew out new weapons .

" I guess these guys are more prepared than we thought " Adi commented as she spied two flame throwers and a few more holding grenades as they blocked blaster fire from the rest " How much longer Qui-gon "

" A few more seconds " A he completed eighty percent of the carving in the roof .

" We don't have that long , Obi-Wan " Adi-gallia instructed as she deactivated her lightsaber and held her arms to the side.

" Right " Obi-Wan replied as he began to circle the two Jedi masters in bursts of force speed , Deflecting any bolts that neared the group .

" Hyyaaa " Adi yelled as she got down low and spread her arms wide , Palms facing outwards a pale force shield surrounded the trio .

She was just in time as two cones of fire leapt from the flame throwers , Igniting the air between the slavers and the Jedi trio , Scorching the ground and slamming against the shield .

Obi-Wan began to sweat as he saw a few grenades impact off the shield before exploding into plasma.

" NOW " Qui-gon yelled as the hole was finished before he promptly dropped through , followed by Obi-Wan and adi Gallia as they dropped through the hole in second floor and into the forth floor .

" Let's go " Obi-Wan released a pent up breath , wiping his sweating brow before the trip quickly ran down the right corridor .

" Did we get em " The Duro's asked as a devaronian looked at the female zabrak .

The group of slavers waited patiently for the smoke to clear , Holding their breaths as they grasped their weapons .

The zabrak woman sneered as the smoke fully cleared , Revealing the simmering hole in the floor with its molten edges .

" DAMNIT " The woman yelled as she hurled her weapon across the room .

" We ... we can still get them " A nikto stated as the woman quickly growled at him .

" You don't get it , We're facing Jedi , And they escaped , They're already long gone , You wouldn't make it to them in time , No ... I have to message Krayn " The woman growled before storming forward .
