Another Crusader, my luck.

He smiles as he shrugs at the guard that was asking what he was doing there. In his hand was a fruit as he bit into it. Where was he exactly? Standing out front of a warehouse he knew contained a slave trade going on, and the guard was some paid off moron that aiming his blaster at the cloaked kid was a good idea. Biting into the fruit again the blaster was aimed at his face and out from his cloak soared a blaster bolt of his own, first in the arm holding the gun then up and through the throat of the despicable man. "I hate slavers." Biting into the apple again he moved towards the door, pushing it open and sticking to the shadows.

I hated these kinds of jobs, but they had to be done.

In recent, the planets that were not being controlled by a Major faction had slowly become more lawless as they sought these places, much like Utapau. It was close to the Moross Crusade and was controlled by the Horde, a Slave loving faction, for a good amount of time. Now that they were gone, It stayed almost the same. Standing over the top of the building that was just a few over, I held a set of binoculars up to my eyes. Looking for any other guards outside except the one right at the door. I looked for any signs of men inside coming out.

The steakout had been going on for about three hours now, and nothing was happening. I started to take down the binoculars when a person in a full body robe, covering all of their body walked up and then held a blaster to the guards throat. I smiled intently as I set down the binoculars. Letting them fall down to the roof and slide off and hit the ground with a thump. By then, I was already moving faster than the blink of an eye across the buildings to the top of the Slave trade location.

Watching as the kid walked in with the guard now on the ground. I waited until he entered and then followed suite. Saying silent and following the shady figure. Even if he was trying to stay in the shadows, he was good, but someone with more skill would easily find him. He had much to learn about moving like a shadow.

Glyph smiled at the subpar security inside. Basic mercs, probably from some no name group looking to make a bit of cash and grow. Sadly they picked the wrong field of work to act like guards for. One was a rodian, blue colored from the looks of it, another a human, brown hair and looking like he was half asleep while a transdoshan and a hutt were making the deal. Without so much as a care Solan moved on the metal above them, setting a concussion grenade for five seconds before dropping it.

Second one, the grenade leaves his hand, second two, it is falling. On three it hits the ground and they look, four, they realize its a grenade and look up at Glyph... five the fun begins. The flash and sound cut all chance of resistance from the three he knew could fight him, landing behind the trandoshan and impaling him with glyph's saber as he then cut up and out of the body, passing through the head. In his free hand the blaster let off a bolt of energy right into the human's chest, aimed for a lung as he would go down and die there. The Rodian tried to run, until to impale himself like the other one as Glyph got infront of him, pulling the blade out and doing a quick spin to remove its head. Only then was he done. Breathing heavily as the hutt backed away, frightened.

The Hutt backed away blabbing about how the little Jedi student should not kill him. But instead he was met with a beskad up against his back. While the Hutts were thought of as weak, they were actually powerful. Their tails could constrict people to death. Crushing bone. The only problem? they were slow. For myself, I was fast. Faster than most. "Slide back more and the blade will be used to fry you over my fire...... Alive."

A few seconds ago, about ten to be exact, the kid had let go of the grenade. I was following him through the shadows and using the force to hide my signature as well as myself visibly. When the chaos ensued from the concussion grenade, I had moved around to the back of the Hutt. Thinking that he would be the larger problem. The thing about Hutts is that they never came without guards. There were three more that the young man had not seen. I had ended them before I had come up behind the Hutt.

Now in the present, I moved myself to be on the other side the tail was not. Holding the beskad out towards the neck of the slug. "Jedi, Next time you take on a Hutt, know that he always has guards of his own hidden." Turning to him, I looked dull as he walked forwards. "And I would like to ask why a Jedi such as yourself is all the way out here where there are none of your kind."

"A: Not a Jedi and trust me when i say, i wont ever be one. B: Are you going to kill the hutt or just let him go to do this again, id prefer the first but hey, your choice." Glyph let the azure blade of his saber jump back into its cylinder and he watched the woman who appeared with a bit of an annoyance, he could handle himself and now she was telling him how to fight. Sure, Glyph was already exhausted by the otherwise simple uses of the force, but he could still fight without the force if he needed. "My name, miss what ever yours is, is Glyph. Freelancer and ruiner of slavers. A pleasure to meet my 'savior'." He smiled, he always smiled, and now he smiled as he introduced himself to the unknown woman.

 

[Garza]

My face was emotionless as the Hutt still tried to move away as the young man, Glyph as he called himself, was speaking about not being a Jedi. I turned to the Hutt, shaking my head as my left hand came out and with the force crunched down on his neck. Holding him there for a moment, he passed out from the lack of air to his lungs and brain. Turning to the Jedi, or Rogue force user, I answered him. "A force user without a cause I see. I am called by many names. The one I prefer is Pyrrha."

I took my beskad and slid it in the sheath on the small of my back, perpendicular with my hips and waist. "The Hutt has crimes to pay for the Moross Crusade. Slavery is not our favorite type of work. You on the other hand, took the law in your own hands. Maybe I should arrest you as well for charging in here in the middle of my investigation." Walking up to him, I adjusted my jacket to be straight on my form.

"Or I can let you off with a warning, and you will do something for me." Before he spoke, I raised a stop hand with my left. "And please don't say you can't do it. I just saw your abilities, as well you seem to have no cause other than your own to follow."

"Moross Crusade... how exactly did i get to meet two of you in the last week... Ive got to have the worst and best luck in the blasted Galaxy." He went to go take a seat on a crate, looking at the hutt and smiling once before looking back at her. "Ok then, what is it you want me to do for you then, because you certainly have me interested but you are going to have to do better than that to truly rope me in." He rested his hand under his chin, studying her and what she wore.

She was an interesting one, between the hair and the fact she was a force user. The latter of which being a simple observation of her through the force but that was not what puzzled him the most. No it was the fact that he looked at her and saw not a saber but a sword and shield. "Another thing, if you would indulge me and after the hutt is put into custody... i want to have a quick duel with you, im curious about your choice of weaponry and how you fight with it..."

 

[Garza]

I smiled as he questioned how he has met two people from the crusade in the last week. I bowed my head and decided to answer him with the truth. "You are a man of truth, and seek knowledge from what I gather, therefore, I will tell you that followers of our Gods and Goddess are everywhere. Some live closer to home on Exocron, or planets such as Manpha. Or they can reach all the way out to the Mando'ade on the planet of Mandlore. Hidden they are within the shadows. Waiting for their deity to command them."

I moved the physical shield made of duraplast onto my back where I could use my hands should I need to. I clapped them together as though I was preparing to talk to a younger me. Shining my palms as I answered the second question. "This Hutt is not the end of the line. No, it continues on with one last Hutt, and I will pay you to help me in the capture of this being. Should you prove yourself to be of more worth, then you may be able to get more out of me."

I moved to stand next to the young man. He looked about his middle to high teen years from his size and body type. He was capable of so much more though. A little surprised as he wanted to be tested against the power of my sword and shield combo, I nodded my head with a smile. "I can arrange that for a later date. And the deal is if you get this Hutt with me, then I will give you a shot at trying to best me, or simply learn of the fighting style that I have chosen."

Extending my hand out to him, I nodded once indicating to shake on it, "Are these terms acceptable for you, [member="Glyph"]?"

Tempting him with knowledge, a duel, and taking down a hutt. It was a deal that he could only dream of coming true and stupidly without thinking he could be tricked, the trustful nature of his shot out his hand and shook hers. "Where is this hutt and how soon, ill need to grab something from my current living place if it is off planet, i cant leave without it." He smiled and rolled his neck as he seemed to have recovered his energy and breath, showing no signs of wear or tear on his spirit as he looked at the woman.

Sure her crusader didn't fully interest him, but she was someone that would willingly give him a chance to prove his abilities and perhaps that was what truly suckered him into accepting. Ever since vowing never to join the Jedi or Sith, ever since his talk with Felicity Mason, he had decided he would need to prove that the orders were not the only strong ones. That Someone can be strong without being one of them and this woman, she gave him that chance to prove that very though and he was ready to do so.

 

[Garza]

The young man shaking my hand felt good. The cracking sound of the leather on my hands felt good as we shook. Asking if he could grab some things, I nodded my head. "I have to grab my own gear from my ship, so unless you have qualms about joining me in my ship, then I see no problem as I will have to brief you about the Hutt and his Palace in which we will go to." Currently as I wore just more so battle robes rather than armor, I might as well get armor so should we get in a larger fight, we could prepare for it.

"You know, if you would like, I could give you a spare set of my armor that will protect you, on an account that you will owe me something else, but it will be smaller than this. It's just armor." I let his hand go and nodded my head towards him, wondering how well he would perform.

"Oh, and might i ask, what new part of a deal do i owe to you in return for borrowing armor miss? I would rather not have to sell my soul, or sacrifice some nerfs as i eat their hearts by the time the night is over if this keeps at it." He smiled, a joke about religious cults in general to the crusader as he was already heading for his way out of the building, walking backwards and somehow completely missing anything that would trip him.

 

[Garza]

Walking out after the young man, I looked at him with his little comment trying to be funny. "I hope you know that I do not eat the hearts out of those I kill. In fact, the worst that I have done in the name of my Goddess, is kill in her name." I then smiled and shook my head, "Well unless if you count the time I stood toe to toe with a god who had just absorbed the energy of a Neutron star made out of the Dark side of the force."

I shook my head and continued walking. Lifting my left arm, a band on my wrist blinked as I pressed down on it, "Ithari, Come and pick us up at our location." The transmitter beeped with a sound and then from the distance I could hear large engines of a Okyaab-Class Freighter zooming overhead of us. Now that we were outside, I could see a set of two cords slide down from the ramp. Both with harnesses on them. I grabbed the first one and attached it to myself. Handing the second one to [member="Glyph"], I nodded my head, "Put this on. It will take us up."

After he had done so, I pulled the cord on my end, and within a few seconds, the wires began to pull us up. And once we were in the clear of the buildings, the ship began to move, even if we were still dangling in the air.

"Uh is this s-" He had it on and felt himself lifted off the ground as he looked around. Hanging from a ship, even if she was too, was not a comforting experience. And did she just say neutron star, who the hell were these gods and what was going on... he suddenly regretted this deep down but a deal is a deal and he sighed...

Now the next thing he did was simple, he waited, waited till he would fall to his death or be brought up to the ship, unsure if either or both would happen. Point being was he was heading into someone's ship he didn't know, who talked about her gods as if they were living breathing people, that could suck up Neutron stars like it was a weekend hobby.

 

[Garza]

I smiled brightly as the mans comment ended as we were lifted up into the air. The young man was almost squeamish when being taken up, hanging on for dear life. I simply laughed as we were ziplined up to the ramp. I reached up and grabbed onto the ledge and pulled myself up. In a form of swinging back and forth then jumping up to not be reliant on the ledge, I then reached over and aided [member="Glyph"] in getting up as well.

Once up, I was met with an Echani Battle droid. Standing in a Regal looking armor, He held a towel in his hand and aided in walking me over to the ramp button. When glyph was by my side, I closed the ramp with a increasing scream of the wind followed by silence. Taking the rag, I patted down my forehead of sweat and then handed it back to the droid. "Now, Would you like to see the armor now, or later. if you see it now, we can fit you in it and have the droids modify it to fit you should you need to. Or we can go straight to the briefing and go from there. Oh, and in about 15 minutes we will be entering hyperspace. So in transit, you may do as you wish."

"I guess we can fit the armor first, no use in getting it on if it doesn't fit." He looked at the droid and new exactly what kind it was as his eyes seemed to be reverse engineering it already in his head as he was very curious about how such a droid ticked. "Nice droid... used to work on them before i left home... hmm..." He was looking over it and actively studying it more and more as he grew in interest, almost forgetting he was on a ship bringing him out of the planet, and he could still very much so be in a trap situation.

 

[Garza]

I nodded my head to him as he wanted to test the armor first. I made a small smile and started to turn tongue droid as he spoke again saying that he had worked on droids like these before. I nodded once again. "you must be good at mechanics. A good skill to have." indicating to move in to the droid, I led him down the hall.

"The old armor that I used to use for my missions when I worked was dubbed Zealot War Armor it's built for someone my size, but with easy modifications, some one of your size can wear it. I find that the armor is nice, but it does not fit my taste if you will."

When reaching the armory, I pointed it out to him on a stand. "It can hold just about any weapon that can be carried by a human, and has a HUD for many things. As well, my style of a sword and shield was implemented in this armor. Walking over to the armor, I tore off the left arm brace. Slidin my hand in, I then clicked it on manually and with a dull hum sound, a dueling shield was activated. "Should you want to keep this feature, you can. If not I am sure we can replace it with something else."

"Keeping it is fine... this is a beautiful piece of art though... the metal its..." He looked at it closely, tapping it twice and smiling as he looked at her. "Duraplast ehh... i cant tell the second component though... i wonder what it is..." He studied it intensely, lost as he sorted through metal and compounds alike, trying to find what it was that he was thinking of. Only after a full minute did he straighten up and shrug, looking at her with a smile. "Need me to give him the measurements of my body, or did they already scan me on the way in here, ive had both happen so i really have no idea how that Droid is going to acquire my body type."
