Ka-Rith

Harley opened her eyes at the disruption, glaring at the door the best she could while laying on her stomach. She had only been in here for five minutes at the most and already she was being interrupted, she just wanted a good nap. That was all, was it to much to ask? She wasn't in the mood for company, especially from someone she hardly even knew. ”

((Mm...Raging Doshan. Yummy.)) Her plan had worked perfectly it seemed. If it hadn't then the hunter had made a foolish mistake in not moving long enough for her to charge in the way she had. With each step she took the pain in her chest grew to near unbearable amounts. Many would contribute her still being up to the force, as force users were known for that sort of thing. But she knew deep within herself that that was not what was going on. It was her own adrenaline that kept her going. Just as she was about to perform the killing she witnessed him toss his helmet aside, with a quick use of the force she choked him just enough to pull his full attention away from her. When his hand went to his throat so quickly she was a bit surprised, perhaps the dark side truly was more powerful when it sunk it's venomous fangs into someone. Every receptor in her brain screamed stop all at once, but it was too late. She felt the blinding pain of his weapon crash into her jaw. Blood and teeth flew every where as she was lifted off of her feet by the blow, twisting around in the air before hitting the ground. She didn't have time to notice that her left blade was no inoperable. Her saber she had crafted to match a Sith's blade. The hunter was not aware of her second blade, her Jedi blade. In this state of mind such a thing meant little though. Her body was working of it's own accord, moving faster then the eye could see as she was fueled by pain and now hatred for this beast before her. A hot sticky fluid sprayed onto her face matching that which was already pouring down her face. Her next conscious thought was of the hunter being upon her. His weight was crushing her body. There was no way she would be able to fling him off of her, even with the combined use of the force and her own strength. Perhaps when she was in top form she might have had a slim chance of lifting a suit of armor and a doshan with so many mechanical limbs, but not now... He was going to collapse her chest cavity at this rate. . . Her hand slipped into her pocket as her head hit the ground for the first time. She wouldn't have time to do anything else surely...So she did the only reasonable thing she could. If she couldn't live, Neither could he! "You go to hell!" Her blood coated fingers pressed down on the explosive charge in her pocket that had been meant to blow apart the Black Sun Citdal. Fitting that it was being used to end the life of the very man that ran the entire organization. She could only hope that his suit was not enough protection to save his life, for his was over no matter what as the final beep from the charge went off signaling it was detonating... ((3)) Very good duel. I had a good time =) G'luck

Ka wasn't surprised when the hunter caught the pipe, she knew that much of his body was machine. If she wasn't careful she would end up in much the same way, or worse. She felt a sharp pain in her gut as his fist knocked the air out of her. She could barely get a breath in without being greeted by immense pain. That would prove a problem shortly if she didn't take care of it. She managed to shake her head, the first thing meeting her eyes was the sight of her pipe being crushed into a ball and thrown aside like a wet piece of paper. It was then that the young force adept turned mercenary realized that one could always say they were prepared to meet the end, but it wasn't until death was starring them in the face that they realized just how horrible such a thing could be. The thing before her would be a personal angel of death if she didn't get things working in her favor somehow. Once again the hairs on the back of her neck stood up as the pond that was the force rippled outwards. In an instant she ignited her left wrist saber, holding it up to block the whip, watching as it wrapped around her weapon. A grin crossed her concealed face as he ripped the weapon back towards him with her still attached, just as she had hopped. With a simple manipulation of the force she flew at him faster then he would have expected. Ka tapped the edge of her right boot against her left one, a small knife slipped out of the tip in the same instant she brought the weapon around to collide with the opposite side of his face then she had hit last time. The blade was custom designed to even the strongest of alloys, she could think Lycus for that one. With a simple tug upward the knife dislodged from her boot as was left going through Piccolo's right cheek and through his mouth. As he stumbled backwards she fell to the ground, the air escaping her for the second time in less then half a minute. Ka took only a second, for that was all she had, to regain her composure before pushing herself into an upright position. She pulled the force to her in an attempt to wash a soothing wave over her body to ease the pain a bit, but she couldn't feel the light that was around her usually. All she could touch was the familiar bitter taint of the darkness. 666 Ka's hood fell back to reveal her pale face and hair dark enough to rival the depths of space. She raised her left hand, the crimson blade that was still ignited following. All of her pain flowed through her body, swelling up and empowering the force as she closed her hand, gripping the figures throat tightly with the force. With her free hand she pulled to spheres from her belt, holding them loosely behind her back out of Piccolo's sight. Her hand shot forward, rolling the first right before him. It was a Flashbang..Hopefully he would have his visor shut out his vision for a few seconds. Hoping she had timed it right...She rolled forward the second grenade as the first went off, this one was another Ion nade. Submerging herself in the force she let it take over her movements, it would guide her even without sight in the fight against the leader of the Black Sun. ((2))

The once gentle flow of the force had been interrupted for a brief second. Something was amiss, but the young force adept could not be sure what it was. The force took over her body, activating her lightsabers and cutting through the hull of the freighter she had been hiding behind at the last second. Her petite frame slipped through the hull just in time, had it been even a fraction of a second later and she would be buried beneath the falling rubble. Still she heard the hunters words, a grim smile crossing her face at his mention of her choosing the wrong side. He had no idea who's side she was truly on. Ka-Rith closed her eyes and focused on Piccolo's position in the hanger. She didn't have a clue how he knew where she was, but now was not the time to analyze any mistakes she might have made so far. With her minds eye she reached out and tugged at the subtle strings of the force, letting her words flow through it and into the others mind. It was the simplest way... "The Black Sun is a shadow of its former self...You are a worthless leader, you can barely keep control of yourself. How can you expect your men to follow some foolish being such as yourself, losing most every confrontation. What kind of example is that? You've no idea why I returned for the Nargal, but I do not serve that wench as you would think.." She moved through the ship quickly, finding the cockpit without hesitation. Her fingers ran over the systems activating the weapons. In a few more seconds a gentle whir could be heard from the ships left side. Any trained bounty hunter would know the sound and Ka expected Piccolo too as well. As the concussion missile fired forward and slammed into the hanger wall, Ka used the distraction to make her way out of the hatch. "I'll be bringing down the house tonight..." The woman grabbed a stray pipe in the hanger and moved towards Piccolo. There wasn't a hint of fear in her eyes as she raised it over her head in preparation to hit him. Judging by her size it would barely phase him, but with her own strength combined with that which her form fitting suit underneath her cloak gave her it was liable to crush the bones of the weak. Her movement was a blur as she brought the weapon crashing down into the side of Piccolo's helmet. ___ The Tie defenders sensors picked up the arrival of the Imperial ships. Before their ships could break the atmosphere and shoot it down it disappeared over the horizon, in effort to escape to the other side of the planet before entering space. All the while the Lyger was running the calculations for the jump into hyperspace. (1)

Ka didn't appreciate the roughness with which Piccolo dealt with her, but she didn't fight it as that would only make it that much more worse. She followed the hunter to the room where Zara was being held, guards breaking off and following them all along the way. She didn't really pay attention to what Piccolo said as her mind was busy running through the information the lyger droid was providing her with. She was less then pleased to be in the same room with Zara, as she had planned to keep the other away from her for as long as possible. Ka was caught off guard when Zara began to use her own power, causing everyone in the room to be lifted off of their feet and pressed against the wall. Her lips curled in disgust at how hard this wench was making her job. Everything she was doing was only bringing up more things that Ka would have to rectify, but before she could do anything about this problem Piccolo fired a grappling hook at the woman across the room. It hit her in the shoulder, blood spraying out of the wound and catching in the now weakening wind. Ka dropped to her feet as Zara passed out. Her own anger was starting to bubble to the surface and she hated dealing with it. She had kept it in check since she had fallen to the Dark side that one time and no was not the time to lose control again. All at once her plans leapt into action. The snap-hiss of duel lightsabers igniting filled the room as the crimson and azure wrist sabers sliced through the air. The wall just behind Zara erupted as a massive Lyger droid bursted through it, closing its jaws around Zara's waist and bursting backwards. Ka's blades cut through the wire holding Zara in place then the floor around her, letting her drop down to the room below as an Ion grenade was left for the droids and Piccolo to deal with. It would fry the droids and many of Piccolo's systems, which would suit her perfectly. Her feet carried her faster then any other person would hope to catch, her body a simple blur as she darted around corners, tracing the droid that was above her with the Nargal. She knew the hunter would be after them soon, but by the time he got to them she hoped to have Zara out of the compound. After only twenty seconds of running she moved up a story and entered the docking bay that held her ship. The capsule attached to it was sealed, as was the cockpit. She knew that the Nargal was inside and the ship would be taking off shortly. She pulled another spherical object from her belt and tossed it at the main entrance of the hanger. Just as Ka dived behind another ship and her own was lifting off, they were both rocked with the explosion of a thermal detanator fifty feet away. Her only hope to prolong the chase long enough for Zara to escape was to stay behind. The lyger was hooked into her ships systems and would get them back Coruscant, back to the Last Call where KvC would take care of them. Just before they arrived she pulled out the last of the tiny, deci. credit like items and activated it. Five minutes. If she hadn't gotten away in five minutes...Things would end then. ((to clarify, Zara is still here..but Is exiting the hanger as we speak. Since most of your systems aren't functioning properly it'd take a lot to bring her down. This ones between me and you piccolo less you want to keep her here longer 1v1 3 posts, mod rules winner, jah?))

"One million credits is more then enough. Greed is a terrible vice to suffer from." Seconds after the funds had been transferred into her account they were split into ten different sub accounts and sent throughout the galaxy, hoping bank accounts once every minute until she gave the command for the action to stop so she could retrieve the cash. She was taking no chances in being double crossed in anyway, shape, or form. Such a thing would be unacceptable and easily avoidable. "Ronin isn't with the Link. From what I understand they had a big falling out and the Pirate King went out for revenge, committing an act of disassociation. I didn't have the privilege of meeting to many of the workers since as soon as I arrived I was sent into the field. " As the two of them were speaking, the higher up that Ka had been speaking to was in the control room, observing them. After all, he had been given orders to keep an eye on Ka, something he didn't mind as she was easy on the eyes...when she had her hood down. As he slipped his hand into his pocket he noticed what Ka had left for him. It was a curious item. It felt like a stack of deci. credits rolled up in some sort of thin paper. When he pulled it out he looked it over before pulling back the paper thinking she had left him some sort of holo present. The item had no trace or indication of what it was and had been designed to be untraceable by most every modern standard. They never saw it coming. The tiny device was a high yield explosive and went off in the Black Sun control room. Fire erupted from the door of the room and shook the entire base, throwing many people to the floor. The signal to Ka's Lyger droid had been received and no that the security cameras were off-line for the most part it slipped out of the custom designed attachment on Ka's defender. It moved through the base dispatching anyone it had too, but remaining undetected for the most part. Ka tried to keep her balance, but in the end allowed herself to be thrown to the floor. The guards moving down the hallway with the kids had just turned a corner as a small beeping noise was emitted from one the boys pocket. At first one would think it a stray toy of his, but by that point in time it was too late. The twins were dead along with the guards, fire bellowing out from the corridor they were in. Ka's eyes went wide as she saw the fire coming from around the corner. "What the hell is happening!?!" Fear could be sensed in her eye, Nothing more then an innocent bystander. She stood up and quickly dashed down the hallway to see if the cargo she had just delivered was alive or not. She knew inside they weren't though, she was a force user after all, but she had to keep up the appearance. Anyone with half a heart would be worried about the kids, but Piccolo would be just as worried surely. He would hear her scream as she turned the corner...to face the charred remainders of half a guard, the one that had been slightly protected by the door he was opening. She felt Zara touch her mind, asking why she had brought her children into the grips of this monster. Ka had to fight back a grin at the fact she was looking at the charred remains of said kids. She touched the frantic womans mind with her own powers. Shut it damnit. I can't concentrate. Your kids aren't even on the planet!

For the longest time the young force adept had been speaking with a few of the BlackSun operatives, feigning interest in the higher ranking of the pair since she was so bored. The conversation slowly began to die down and as it did the young force user slipped past the man, leaving them behind...also leaving behind an item in his pocket that not even he would notice for some time, but it would be a pleasant surprise when he did. Ka looked up as she noticed the hunter moving towards her. She was holding the two kids by the wrist leading them slowly through the compound. She had no interest in anything really, she was only here to deliver the kids and get what she came for after all. She was relieved to see he had finally come to retrieve the two little brats. "Here they are..." She could tell that they were afraid of the man before them and they were right to be. His appearance would throw off many people, especally little kids. With a simple manipulation of the force, everything needing to be done was done and the little kids were seeming rather excited to visit uncle Piccolo, since they hadn't seen him in so long.

It seemed they had informed Piccolo that she had arrived and brought the children, but when they moved to take them she again refused. They only way they would leave her hands was if they were going directly into Piccolo's hands. She held her ground on this matter and would not let in. If she was forced too, she would simply disable anyone who would not accept this as fact. Ka-Rith might be a petite female, but she was by far not a weak one. This was made clear just by the way she moved.

The Malefaction II, a tie defender dropped out of hyper-space above Artus. The pilot quickly went to work gaining access to land upon the planet. She did not bother to let the BlackSun know she had arrived just yet, rather she used the Imperial codes that she had...acquired. Everything went to plan and her modified fighter was cruising low over the planet. A comm was sent to notify the Blacksun of her arrival and that she had completed her mission. Landing the ship was easy enough and took no time at all. She adjusted her cloak before lifting the two kids out of the ship. A few BS operatives tried to get them from her so that they could take them to Piccolo, but Ka would have none of that. She made it known that either she spoke to Piccolo directly, or the Kids did not pass hands.

The Canus II dropped out of hyper space, a single ship exiting from it's small hanger. Ka ran her hands over the controls preparing for the second and last leg of her journey, she was not pleased to have to be making it with the two kids in such a small fighter, but she would live...

The Malefactor II docked with the Golden Link casino. Ka had a mission to do and it would begin here. Her presence went unnoticed as she slipped through the Casino, easily getting into the select areas she needed to get into. In less then an hour she had what she had come for and was on her way to the docking bay. She was careful to plot her path so that she did not pass through any of the areas that lacked the force, this way she could cloud the mind of anyone who might have noticed her and her new ....cargo. As fast as she had arrived, she was gone into the void of space.

Ka nodded her head, only semi interested. She didn't really care about the Blacksun either way, but she was hired to work for the Link and it was for the Link she would work. Once he was done speaking, she turned and pulled her cloak around her body. She would get to work immediately. After all, what else was there left in her life but work? always with the work...she was just waiting for the next person to try to get close only to betray her. Five minutes later she sat down before a large computer and sat to work on a virus to Kals speculations. She would add an extra item in here and there, but other then that she was only doing this to do this. A gnawing fear was at the back of her mind though. She knew that she would be the weak link in this operation with those kind of thoughts. Entire armies had fallen to only a few...because the few were full of passion and conviction while the army was only there under orders.

A small freighter landed in one of the hangers, opening its doors and letting out a cloaked woman. She turned and watched as the ship disappeared back into the void of space. It had been an uncomfortable flight, she never had enjoyed being around strangers and these guys were just bad news all around. She dreaded to think of what they might have tried had they not caught sight of the weapon dangling at her side. She moved through the Casino slowly, not in any real rush. After a while she approached a computer terminal and ran a search for the location of Kal. She picked him up on one of the Cameras and headed in his direction. She wasn't sure exactly what he needed her for, but none the less she had come.

Ka popped her jaw as she listened to him, absorbing and processing all of the information. They had taken a great deal of precautions, but if one was determined enough they would easily be able to get inside. She left her tray on the table as she motioned for Kal to follow her. She moved into one of the back areas of the Link and began to gather some gear for the mission. "We will take an unmarked freighter. Lets go." With all the gear they would need she lead him to the hangers. Entering the ship she sat down and fired it up, exiting the casino and entering hyper-space in no more then two minutes flat.

Ka had awaken a while ago to a feeling of extreme anguish. It was from Zara and a bit worrying, but before she could find her and see what was wrong the woman had left the station. Rather then go back to sleep she decided to clean up and get ready to do some work until Kal returned. About an hour later she was downstairs in one of the lesser computer rooms discussing some upgrades to the security system when a man approached her. She assumed this was the one she was to be working with. Her face showed no emotion towards him until he finished speaking, calling her toots. This annoyed her greatly, almost to the point of putting him in his place. "The name is Ka-Rith, not Toots. Boy. Now, I am hungry lets grab a bit to eat while we discuss the mission." She walked past him and exited the room, heading for the food court. She didn't say anything to him until she had her food and drink. Sitting down at one of the booths she ate quietly for a while, sipping at her drink every now and then. When she was finally finished she looked up to him and began to speak, her voice quiet and her tone serious. "You used to work for the BlackSun, tell me what you know about their outer security at Coruscant."
