Sawa was moving with her coming out of the thoughts as she slid into herself. Moving and it was one of the few things where she was moving. her blad ein her hand and a jet of flame that surprised many. Sawa moving towards the speeder as going through the clubs lower chambers themselves would bring out a few things to see. The deeper tunnels of the temples they were in showed it. Smooth stone that had been buried down into the sands themselves. The original temple itself had fallen and been built, rebuilt and added to over centuries longer then most knew. SHe had happened to come across it and it connected to phrik mines and other mines.
So she had been moving and the deeper down into the temple you went the older things became. The oldest vampires she had well brought here, the ones who were ancient by even her standards and who used this as a means to hide from the galaxy while giving her the full collection fo their life accumulation. Yes them with their servants and thralls when she was moving deeper and deeper. THen they were going up towards sections fo the temple that had been long since buried and opened up back some ways. She was leading it with Maple less to flee and more as a means after the initial fighting for them to make some time.
The thicker doors opened though to reveal the desert as the first rays of sun were appearing in the distance and the sound of blaster fire came. Whoops, whistles and then roaring of a flamethrower in the distance as K1 stood in a ring of charred corpses that when they twitched her fired a heavy repeating blaster itno them again. Chucks of sand flying up, anzati and garhoon were moving around quickly though as they had moved out towards the sounds and to scour the deserts for anything that might be attacking them. Sawa was moving and she was watching Maple.. a beautiful dance of death and destruction who... who didn't hesitate.
She had as Sawa thought about it for a moment. though as something happened and she could feel something pressing at the back of her mind. SOmething was moving, slithering and she spent in the span of a heartbeat a moment as she thought about things long buried. Maple was there and Ni-Ne was there but so were others. Writhing forms all laid out and the sounds. The feeling for a moment before she was moving and back into the moment. THe brief flash of it all though had her back near Maple as some of the other dancers appeared and they were bloody. There were one or two of the local forces but they were all out of the way.
"THe area is cleared." The voice was deeper, more resonating as the beast of a woman approached. Sawa had mused that she had some giant in her when she had first met her but the woman was looking at them. She was second in command to Ross on the planet and acted like security for Sawa when she was around or she acted like a watchdog to make sure she ddin't cause to many problems. That the barest hints of her exposed flesh at her arms and neck showed a deep caramel skin with tattoo's of a serpent coiling around the forearm of her muscles and the tongue of it was at her neck... Well one of the heads. It was a hydra tatto after all and her back was where the neck was.
Sawa was small compared to her.... hell she could make a wookie seem small as she was still mostly human just very tall for a human woman, standing 7' 5" by most terms in the galaxy. With the barest hints of midnight-black hair in a crew cut under her dark blue beret, smooth, dusky caramel skin and deep, intense brown eyes. She was in ridiculousnessly good shape, her rolled-up sleeves showing forearms corded with muscles that flex powerfully with every slight movement she makes. She had a flat, hard stomach, and slender, powerful thighs that propel her forward with panther-like grace even in the heavier peacekeeper uniform and armor with her weapons.
Sawa knew those muscles well and as she looked up at her spoke. "Riya you came, I didn't know you cared so much to see me off world." A sly grin as the astromech droid came into view with a grapple launcher attachment from a rifle in one of its nanite claws. From it behind his was a hunter with the grapple through his shoulder being dragged across the sand and as he protested a shocker was used to make him convulse. There was a look at some fo the dancers and vampires who could smell it with their enhanced senses and Sawa was walking leading the way as Riya took a position in front of her and the others.
The silent Erika was important to Maple so it would be important to her but if they had arrived in it then it was likely being watched... better to head out in something else and draw the attention away as Sawa walked towards a speeder and climbed in looking at Maple and the others. Sounds of battle were still going o and this was a race against the clock as it were.. Sawa didn't plan on losing out on it though while she moved with her hand and body relaxing. She almost lounged when the mountain itself loomed before them, the sound of pop up turrets and doors opening as she saw it. More Onna, in silver armor had been stationed here to protect her private escape hanger should be need it.
The hanger doors opened to reveal her personal ship, sleek black hull plating that reflective heavily the light around it. Looking smooth and solid almost like a ship from Naboo. The ramp opened and servants came out, the ships crew dressed in
black uniforms with their features mostly beautiful. She didn't discriminate but they were cultivated for their beauty under her village. The Dawn's fortress held secrets one of which was selective breeding for fealty and service but also beauty. It was why she could survive without having to make a massive fight. So her crew were here ready to go as the one approached and spoke. The captain wearing a uniform that was smiliar but with gold threading.
"Mistress the ship is ready, once we detected the explosions and weapons fire we began to prep the ship." THe woman bowed when there was a few others, her servants were milling about with Onna standing there on the ship itself. Their armor was gleaming and shiny. Her servants stood out with the thin white kimono's that clung to them and they all brought food, different outfits and a smile to their master. Sawa motioned looking back at Riya who stood there though. "Thank you my dear for bringing us here, your accounts will get my appreciation." There was a smirk on the woman's face while she looked down and at Maple then the droid that had been following them with the man through the desert.
"We'll handle him." She looked at the still living man who looked like ground beef. K1 released the grapple and went onto the ship with a whistle and beep of triumph. Where Sawa was looking though there was a voice as a woman came down the ramp to meet her. "Mistress Ike." Her voice was rich and deep, her looks simple as she stood there with little on but was curtained in a massive amount of hair. Down and around her back, around her shoulders and front when she was holding a datapad offering a grin and view. "I have several reports for you. From home and from the colonies." A moment as Sawa passed into the ship and pointed.
"Good, I will look over them, report to me what there is while we make way for Atrisia. As fast as we can." The captain was there and gave a nod heading off towards the cockpit of the ship, Riya had cleared out and the ramp with K! and Maple would be moving up as the woman spoke looking at her. "Asano, this is Maple. she is off limits understood." She looked with Silver eyes towards the woman and the other atrisian bowed her head. "Of course mistress." Where she was looking though with a flick of her eyes and the way she checked over Maple said her position was more then just an attendant bringing messages.. her outfit or lack there of did much to say that.
"Good." Sawa moved and there was in the main area a throne similar to the club and her own palace. Ebony with silver frame. Cushions as well as a small groove in the one arm as she sat down and it was positioned to allow someone to sit in her lap and their legs could comfortably dangle over the side. Sawa sat down looking out when she sat there and the ship was moving. The servants going around removing her soiled and dirty clothing so that Sawa was sitting there briefly for a moment. The feeling of Maple around her as Asano stood to the side of the chair and spoke with a small grin. "We have been working on a few things mistress."
That perked her up as she looked over at Maple but was speaking. "Yes." She was drawn and couldn't take her eyes off of her, a beautiful source of death and destruction. She had not only handled herself well in the club and fight... in the caves she had even been seemingly gotten quicker, stronger, more seductive in her capabilities. Sawa salivated at the idea of being alone with her but she had a duty here. WHatever spell Maple was working on her though oh it was working and she motioned for her with her hand. Inviting her over as the servants offered food, drink and more comfortable clothing.
"We have had progress with senator Dennings daughter." She said it and grinned maliciously to that with a look on her face when she watched Sawa who spoke. "Ah good, bring her in, her father is vital to some of my enterprises on Coruscant." The other woman bowed and moved off to the side as Sawa shifted and the ship jumped to hyperspace. She would need to sleep a little at least before getting to Atrisia and then they would have to likely take the longer way to Ni-Ne... at least the way that others would. THese hunters would dare threaten her and that meant she would tear them limb from limb. THe dark thoughts swirled around as footfalls came and the two entered.
Asano stood as she always did with a look on her face though. The woman standing next to her with a collar around her neck, jade and ruby in the same symbol of Sawa's tattoo a showing her who she served. Her blond hair was to her shoulders, icy blue eyes looking semi glazed over and she was walking with a semi lopsided grin. Eyes fixing and watching Sawa as the energy vampire held a hand out for her and her finger extended. Long, slender. "Sit." THe girl went down to her knees looking up at her and Sawa turned her hand over motioning her forward. "Come here, crawl to me." THe girl was moving and crawling over to the base fo the throne she stayed there.
Sawa was leaving room for Maple to watch but she spoke looking at the girl with silver eyes. "Nikki, so lovely to see you once again." She said ti and there was humor and affection in her voice. "Did you miss your master?" The girl looked up finally and Niki was nodding her head. "Yes yes yes mistress, I am happy to see you once again." Good... "Good." Sawa said it waiting there and she spoke motioning her forward then stopping her progress with her foot. A toe that went to her face and for a moment smudged that pale skin. "It is good you have missed me, your father has been increasingly drawing me away from being around you."
As she was speaking she stopped and continued to toy with the girl a little stroking her cheek with her foot but she wasn't looking at her just at Maple. "He is a very dangerous man, he seeks to keep you from being happy." The girl seemed to groan at that and looked sad. "Is there anything you want me to do mistress?" She said ti quickly, with devotion and Sawa licked her tongue over her fangs that had appeared from the excitement. "Yes.. yes there is. if your father is in the way of us my sweet Nikki. I want you to walk up to him and carve out his heart. Bring it to me to show your devotion to being my servant. Cast aside your old life."
There was a heavy silence in the air that clung there for a moment and then she was bowing her head.... nodding it excitedly. "Yes.... yes ..... yes my mistress." She got a raised eyebrow at the lack of hesitation in her voice or how she seemed to be waiting for more commands. Sawa looked at Asano. "When we land on Atrisia see that it is done. Let her return to her father and have her shadowed. If she succeeds bring her back to us Asano, if she fails well... then Nikki.... I am afraid you won't ever see me again." She said it and the girl was almost in a panic over the idea as Asano was pulling her back and taking her out fo the room.
"Now that we are alone.... we should go over a plan for what we will encounter. I set traps and if they are foolish enough to risk some fo the dangers.... they are going to be in for some booby traps."
