Black Fire, Blue Armor. (Taming of Nocturna)

[Break]

The Trandoshan seemed unhappy to be left out of the action

"I ended up being paid to be a mechanic....great..."

"I'm fine eightCee... haha you wouldn't know how to work on another droids ball socket joint right beneath the chest cavity connected to the spine?"
He looked at [member="Torvas Vief"]
"If that's ok with you, I just have a...thing about strangers see what's underneath the skin and would prefer Eight Cee worked on it..."

He smiled and laughed

"Sorry."

The old Trandoshan looked up and spoke in a more kidding fashion.

"I could see under that skin the entire time shiny one. This of eye 'o mine doesn't let nobody hide anything."

The Trandoshan started working on the ship again quickly after.

 

[Torvas Vief]

Snarling a bit, Torvas looked over toward the Trandoshan. "I spent many hours repairing twin-pod cloud cars back on Bespin; remind me again what is so wrong with being a mechanic?"

He then quickly added, after having turned around and faced [member="Break"] once again, "Go right ahead. I will respect your privacy."

The droid looked toward the other droid and then nodded, "I should be able to repair you posthaste, good citizen. My programming requires me to assist those who are in need of assistance." His voice was rather melodramatic and seemed quite self-important. Eight-Cee was known for his theatrics.

Torvas blinked for a moment, "I probably wouldn't be able to find the ball joint too well anyway. Break just looks like a guy in blue armor with green accents."

Eight-Cee turned back, surprised, "Those are green?"

 

[Break]

Break smiled and walked away with EightCee as he went in for repairs meanwhile on the horizon came the dragon carrier though the wastes. On its way to take in the quarry the two had just bagged. Not many could say they had the skill to take down a dragon much less brag they took it in ALIVE . Before long the ship would be able to lurch it's way back to Arcadia and Break was functional once again
"So [member="Torvas Vief"] how do you feel about I take us all out for a huge ass dinner and we stuff ourselves until we wish the dragon HAD killed us?" Break laughed

"I wouldn't miiiind...soundsss nice."
The old Trandoshan raised his brow as he spoke the words.

-Meanwhile-

the doors opened slowly as the droids began trying to start the loading process

 

[Torvas Vief]

Eight-Cee was admittedly quite skilled when it came to working on [member="Break"] for, perhaps, rather obvious reasons considering that he was a droid who had been originally designed with public safety in mind and therefore found this kind of thing quite common.

Eventually, Torvas looked up again and smirked, "Are you sure that vessel is going to be sufficient for carrying a dragon of that magnitude?"

He then blinked a bit, soon feeling his mouth water at the proposal of getting some food. "Like I said, I am starving at this point. I thought that we were going to get a chance to eat the dragon in the first place."

Naturally he made no point about the fact that the HRD wouldn't much have enjoyed eating at all. Apparently the Trandoshan didn't yet know the secret, so he felt it best to keep it hidden for now.

-AT THE MINE-
The sleeping dragon was slowly being moved by hover lifts and droids onto the carrier to transport back to a holding facility underneath light Industries. The Droids carefully lined her up with the heavy durasteel restraints faceted on her maw ,behind the neck, the middle of her neck, at her shoulders and wings then 3 more leading from her hips down to the bottom of her tail. She had been thoroughly secured and would stay that way until the moment she would be fitted with a restraint device. Each of the guard droids held special tranquilizer guns aimed at the dragon should she begin to wake.

-WITH THE CREW-

"The Dragon will be fine Torvas. I had it specially made for her power and size. So don't worry. "
Break spoke to [member="Torvas Vief"] as an old friend would.
"Relax the hard part is over now!"
He smiled as the ship began to whir to life.

"Now common! I think the old one is ready to get back to the city and I know an all you can eat place with the Best Frella fish in Arcadia. It comes directly from Echidna so it's actually really fresh."
Break himself was becoming impatient not about the dragon itself but about the ways he would have to train her. It was true she wasn't the same creature he once shared a bond with but she wasn't totally insane like the rest of her siblings. Break eagerly walked into the ship and prepared to go home.

 

[Torvas Vief]

Having smiled at [member="Break"] Torvas was soon nodding and stretching a bit to loosen his rather tense and tired muscles. That was probably understandable, considering what it was that they had just gone through. He followed the droid, and soon enough his own droid was following with.

The Shistavanen looked back toward him and blinked a bit with a smirk, "Considering that I technically had broken the law by entering your ship without your permission...well...do you think that we could overlook that as I was looking for an adventure?"

It was hard, sometimes. He was bound to an honorable oath, and yet he also acted on certain impulses, as he was a beast. It was like he had two halves that were being torn in opposite directions, so the wolfman was hoping that both of them could be settled at the end of the day here with Break telling him that all was well.

Well, there was one other thing that was going to make all well too, and that was the fact that he was about to chow down!

It was just too bad that Eight-Cee didn't get to join in with him. Well, that was the price of being able to breath in a vacuum he supposed.

 

[Break]

As the ship rode Break seemed to be concentrated deeply on getting home safely watching radar In case of Raiders and such.

-With the Dragon-
The ship lurched as the dragon was finally set onto her. The dragons immense weight was pushing the ship to its limits. But as Break said the ship was built for that sort of thing and shoved off with no problems the dragon breathed heavily as she slept her chest raising and falling very slowly as she dreamed. She looked almost peaceful.... if one could get past the fangs and claws. The ship lurched as she turned about and headed home to arcadia. [member="Torvas Vief"]

 

[Break]

As the ship reached Capitol city the droids were passed through the gates rather quickly none of the city guards to eager to get close enough to the dragon to verify it was alive or not. Swiftly they made their way to Light Industries.

Several teams of Droids were used to unload the dragon into the containment chamber and carefully was she placed inside.

The Droids themselves only stopping long enough to type in security codes each security door larger and thicker durasteel than the last. Until finally a force door was reached its red light giving a constant Humm until the droids opened it.

-Sir Break we are unloading the dragon now.
A droid said over the comm system

 

[Torvas Vief]

The ship seemed to take forever, though Torvas knew that it was just his perception and besides canines didn't exactly have the best sense over time. Exhaling a bit, he leaned back in his chair and smiled a bit, though it was sometimes hard to realize that he was happy unless he was wagging his tail due to the way his face was shaped.

Shaking that aforementioned trusty appendage, he looked around slowly and exhaled softly. Leaning his head back carefully, he finally shut his eyes and allowed himself to completely relax. He was obviously looking forward to that meal that he had been promised.

Meanwhile, his droid looked over, wondering if either the Trandoshan or the other droid needed any further assistance. It hadn't looked like it, so he silenced himself for the time being, though he would have sprung back into action if requested.

Torvas stood up once it was announced that the droids were being brought inside with the dragon.

"Does this mean that it's all over then?" He figured that maybe the other wasn't so crazy...perhaps it was, indeed, possible to tame the beast. It would take an incredible amount of heart, but he was sure the other had it - even if that heart in the chest of [member="Break"] was, at the end of the day, synthetic.

 

[Break]

Break continued to concentrate on his plan the taming of the dragon until he was interrupted by the droids voice informing him the dragon was safely inside the confines of the special room Break sighed with relief and started to look around rather pleased with himself. He looked quite happy all the way until they were back in Capitol City. When the doors Opened he stood up and made a joke about "Now it's time to BREAK her" to which the Trandoshan laughed and all four of the new friends walked out and enjoyed a large well deserved meal.

-FIN-
