Stolen and unable to scream in the silence

[Jae Jordan]

Jae walked around her quarters straightening up a few things as she hummed a tune that'd been stuck in her head for a while now. The team hadn't been up to much as of late, having a string of mission in the beginning, this seemed to be their downtime, for the time being anyways. Frankly Jae was enjoying it, as much as she loved being adventurous and venturing far and wide along the galaxy with her new crew mates, she also loved the thought of kicking back and taking things a little slower than usual.

She walked out of her quarters and made her way up to the cock-pit, heading up to make sure everything was running smoothly, as it should be. As the pilot of this vessel she made it her duty and responsibility to make sure there was not a single thing wrong with this vessel at any one time. She made it a priority that this ship was in top condition at any time of day. Maybe a chore, though given Jae's adoration for spacecraft and flying in general she found pleasure and no effort at all in making sure the ship was always running smoothly. Though for one thing, she did notice it wouldn't hurt to make a quick stop off at a fuel stop and resupply station.

Spinning off of the chair she cameras aboard the Salvation and found where Andorreth was, the training room. She smiled at the screen before making her way down.

Making her way into the room she waited a moment or two, enjoying the time she spent watching him train before she took a couple quiet steps up behind him and jumped on him, hugging him from behind as her arms draped over and around his shoulders and neck. She kissed his cheek before smiling at him, "Hello! How's training going?" She asked as she let go of him. She leaned on one of the structures as she awaited his response, "Also if it's alright with you, we're gonna have to make a stop at a fuel stop or resupply station just to make sure the Salvations all good to go for our longer trips."

I'd been going through the lightsaber forms with a sword down in the training room when I felt Jae jump up and wrap her legs around my waist. Then she asked how training was going before mentioning that we'd need to make a stop at either a resupply station or a fuel station. Smiling I said "Training is good, though if you jump up on me again I may have to just take you down to the mat." I let my innuendo sit there for a second before turning my head and gently kissing her lips. "You needing some company for the trip aboard the resupply station?"

Pulling a plain grey shirt on over my bare chest I grabbed my gun belt and ensured that my newest gear acquisitions were in place. securing my gun belt across my waist at a low angle I turned towards Jae and gently kissed her soft lips again before grabbing my armor gauntlets. Pulling them on and ensuring they were secure I grabbed my leather jacket and slipped it on as I caught up with Jae. Gently slipping my right arm around her waist we walked together for a bit before I asked "So anything in particular we need then Jae?"

She smiled up at him as the duo walked along the hallways of the space vessel, "I was up in the cock-pit earlier before I came down to you. Ship could use a refuel." She informed him about why they'd be needing to make a stop at a fuel station. "That, and I don't think it'd hurt to get a little food in the fridge." She added, remembering the last time she'd wandered into the kitchen for a snack.

"I've set a course for the Salvation to stop off at a nearby fuel station not far from where we are at the moment. We'll stop off, grab everything and be leaving soon afterwards. Won't be a long stop." She continued to walk with him when she remembered his question earlier about needing company, she shook her head in the negative, "Up to you if you want to tag along, though I assure you it'll be fine. I'm just refuelling the ship and picking up some stuff." She smiled up towards him, "Thanks for the offer though!"

I wasn't sure about staying aboard but I made up my mind when I got a flicker of a Force vision. Me holding the aqua saber I'd picked up on Mandalore in my right hand, the beskar razor whip in my left gauntlet wrapped around the throat of a man who was looking up at me. Blood speckled his face, he said "Please you don't have to do this mister." I saw the fear in his eyes and heard my voice speak "You and your people shouldn't have taken her then." Then I jerked my left arm back and tore out his throat, anger and rage is what I felt. Then just as soon as I'd had the vision it was gone.

Looking at Jae I said "I couldn't just let my girlfriend go into some crusty station alone. I'll be going with you though I'll keep a low profile just in case." With that I ensured my gun belt was secure and then pulled on a black, hooded leather jacket. Gesturing for Jae to lead on I fell in behind her. Patting the holsters on my thigh I ensured that the sabers I'd acquired were secure and that the container of sand was securely tied to my belt. Ensuring the beskar razor whip was in my left gauntlet I locked the weapons down and followed Jae as she headed towards the cargo ramp...

Looking over towards Andorreth she noticed he wasn't..all there. "Hey, you alright?" She asked, she seemed to remember other times when he acted this way, as if his mind was preoccupied with other matters, completely ignoring the world around him though only for a short while. It tended to be those Force visions. They were almost always none of her business and they didn't concern her in any way she just liked to assure herself that Andorreth was ok afterwards, as she had no idea what sort of things he's seen from them.

She smiled at his comment and continued to walk along the hallways alongside him. She noticed Andorreth was all geared up, although it was his regular gear and completely appropriate to wear, she came to the conclusion she wouldn't be needing any of her weaponry as she was only refuelling the ship and grabbing a few things. Which was why she decided to not stop off at her room and grab her blaster. As the ship stopped off at the fuel station she walked over to the cargo ramp and pressed down on the button, activating the ramp.

She came across a man, in charge of the fuel station and the ships that came in and out. She smiled at him and before she could greet him he spoke first, "What's your business here?" He asked, not in an aggressive tone but hardly friendly. "Oh, just refuelling, we won't be here long." He nodded and Jae continued to step off the ramp and headed towards the fuel.

[Andorreth Vikar]

As Jae asked if I was okay I simply nodded and followed her down the ramp. As she conversed with the station chief I had a falsh of memory from Celiana's training. She'd said that anger was useful, it enhanced your reaction times, helped you deal with things quickly, efficiently, and often times with a final effect. With the Force vision I'd had I had no idea about when or where or even if it would happen but I could say without blinking that if someone did take Jae from me or harmed her I would be known again throughout the 'verse as Vespera, the evening star. Or by my other name the Wraith of Corellia, I'd never done wetwork but I even recognized that when I was fighting for anyone I cared for I became....vicious would be one way to describe it. Elemental would be another definition, I weaved blades with an instinctive way.

As it was I had a vibe about the station we were on, but I couldn't pin down what was off about it. Maybe the people? Most times station chiefs were only too happy to encourage visiting ships to engage in trade on the stations the worked on. Glancing back at the station chief I looked him over to see if he was possibly concealing some weapons and couldn't visibly see anything. Then movement off to the left, moving over towards Jae I leaned in against her said "There's movement off to the left behind those cargo crates. I'm gonna go check it out, I'd rather not be shot at while refueling plus I don't want to put you in harms way if I can avoid that."

Moving in against her I pressed my lips agaisnt hers and gave her a passionate kiss before shooting her a wink and making my way back towards the cargo crates. I had a feeling something wasn't right and I'd rather take care of it then worry about it later...

Jae continued walking, not paying another bit of attention to the station chief, simply wanting to get the fuel for the Salvation, some other supplies and jump off this station as soon as possible. Before she moved off towards the fuel tanks she heard Andorreth speak and paused in her path to listen. She nodded her head, "Alright, though it's probably just other ships and their crew refuelling or putting stock onto their ship." She added, she didn't have a problem with Andorreth being over cautious and perhaps she wasn't being cautious enough but Jae always looked for a positive in all situations and avoided thinking of the worst.

She turned towards the fuel tanks before she felt Andorreths hand behind her neck, gently pulling her in for a passionate kiss. She melted into the kiss before the duo pulled away and went their separate ways for the time being. She smiled as he winked at her and turned back to the fuel tanks.

Going through the different types of fuels and engines she found the one suitable for the Salvation and continued from there to refuelling the ship. Moving the fuel tanks over towards the Salvation she began to refuel. She waited, playing around with the ends of her leather jacket waiting for Andorreth and the refuelling to be done with.

She heard footsteps come up behind her and smiled, "See, it wasn't anything was it?" She said, as she thought she'd been right about there being nothing around the cargo crates. Turning around, her smile instantly dropped as she realised it wasn't Andorreth who'd come up behind her. "Can I he-" before she could finish her sentence the man brought a cloth up to her mouth and her eyes went wide. She began to thrash about and struggle within the mans hold, trying not to breathe in the fumes from the cloth, though that task was very difficult. She swung her leg back aiming between his legs but only managing to hit his shin and not getting the reaction she'd hoped for. She was losing consciousness and strength all at once, resorting to screaming out for help. Her cries for help were muffled in the cloth and she watched the station chief, desperately pleading for help. He did nothing and she could only assume he was with the man behind her. She cried out for Andorreth but he would've been all the way on the other side of the fuel station by now, no where near enough to hear her.

By now her vision started to cloud and she was out a few seconds afterwards. The man smirked and picked Jae up hauling her over his shoulder and nodding his head to the 'station chief' indicating it was time to go. They began to head over to their own ship and take off departing from the fuel station.

I'd made my way over behind the cargo crates where I'd suspected something might be up. Suddenly there was a spike of emotion I felt stemming from Jae. Pulling my modified pistol I started sprinting towards the Salvation and fired off the full clip before slapping another one in. Firing the second clip into the engine shroud I triggered the tracking chips embedded in the slugs on all of the rounds I'd fired into the vessel. Tying the data into my forearm datapad I transferred the coordinates to The Dauntless aboard the Salvation then hearing someone behind me I ejected the Beskar whip on my left forearm and flicked it out around the person's leg. Jerking back I tore through his leg and muscles. I saw him fumble for a blaster and simply called the aqua saber to my hand igniting it with a snap-hiss, as he went to fire at me I simply cut through his hand and cauterized the cut.

He howled in agony and I angled the saber towards his neck. "Who were they?! Who took her?!" He looked terrified and said "I don't know I swear." Stepping on top of his freshly severed hand I knelt by his face and coldly asked him again "Who, were they? I will not ask you again..." He considered and said "Slavers, sometimes they use this port I'm paid pretty well to look the other way..." Sighing I said "well then you just lost more than your hand...." Opening the sand pouch I used The Force and levitated the sand in a cloud around his head. Then I simply enveloped his head and using The Force squeezed until I felt his life be extinguished. The sound of his head being pulped filled the hangar and I brought the sand back into the pouch as I extinguished the saber and ran towards the Salvation.

Triggering the launch sequence for the Salvation from my forearm gauntlet I closed the hangar door and remotely programmed the Salvation to follow the Dauntless as I flew. Boarding the Dauntless I closed the ramp and hit the power then launched the Dauntless from the hangar. Activating the thrusters I began accelerating as I tied the trackers into the main sensors of the Dauntless. They began to ping and I saw the location of the enemy vessel. Just then they jumped to hyperspace, well then the fools thought they'd avoided me...Engaging the stealth drive I engaged the hyperdrive in tracking mode to follow the ship I'd riddled with slugs that had tracking chips in them. Now wherever they jumped to I'd be right there behind them...Muttering aloud I said "Don't worry Jae, I'm right behind you sweetheart. I'm coming for you, and Force preserve anyone responsible you being taken...."

Flashes of light was what woke Jae up, the constant spinning of the vents blocking the light in and out of the room Jae was currently inside. Her eyes slowly opened, eyelids feeling heavy as her vision started to reform itself. She got up, propping herself up on her elbows first before wincing, she was sore. She assumed it was simply from all the thrashing about she did earlier on the fuel station...The fuel station. Now she remembered what had happened, and Andorreth, she hadn't seen Andorreth. She started to get into a bit of a panic, not knowing where she was or where this ship was headed or even who was on this ship with her. She then noticed a sort of collar around her neck, she grabbed at it and tried her best to get it off but to no avail. "This cannot be good.."

All of a sudden she began to hear footsteps, she froze where she was, listening out in an attempt to tell if they were coming her way or were from a different part of the ship she was on. She began to move closer, closer towards the bars of the cell she was in. She was right up against them now, pressing the side of her face closer to try and hear the footsteps, suddenly they came to a stop. She waited a few more seconds. "Well look who's finally woken up!!" Jae stumbled backwards from the sudden voice and fell back. She looked up to see where the voice had come from, and if her limited knowledge served her right, it was a Zygerrian male. Although everything added up perfectly, Jae preferred not to think about the predicament she may or may not be in right now and still resorted to talking her way out. She stood back up and dusted herself down, "Hi, I uh think there's been a mistake of some sort. Th-" Before she could continue the Zygerrian opened the cell and moved in, closer towards Jae, "But of course, what is the issue?" Jae hated the aura this man presented and hated even more the stench of his breath, "This isn't my ship. So if it's alright with you, I'll just be on my way." Jae began to move past him and towards the cell door halfway through her sentence when she felt a sharp pain before she found herself back on the ground. Raising her hand to her cheek she removed it only to find speckles of blood on her fingertips from the mans backhand.

She looked up at him and instantly cowered away from him as he bent down, "You're not going anywhere girl. You belong to us now.." He said before walking back out of the cell and locking it. Jae looked around and knew for sure she'd gotten herself into deep trouble this time, and this time she had no idea how she was going to get out, but she wasn't going to give up just yet...

[Andorreth Vikar]

I kept the Dauntless in hyperspace and suddenly I got a bleeping notification that showed the ship I was pursuing was dropping out of FTL. Now then...ensuring that the sensor jammers had gone active and the stealth drive was still engaged I brought the Dauntless in close against the ship. Locking the Dauntless against the ship whose ID registered as the Tyrant I went to the armory and pulling my gun belt off I engaged the armor locking process. After I was kitted up in the armory I slid the weapons into their proper places at the magnetic hardpoints on my armor. Sabers locked along my ribs, pistols on either hip, scattergun on my left thigh, sand container on my right hip.

Stepping off the armor platform I tied Tamerlein to my belt and grabbed a case of explosives designed to cripple ships. Heading to the hatch I opened it and simply hopped onto the hull of the Tyrant. Carrying the case of ion and EMP charges I used the thrusters on my armor and jetted towards the engines. Launching a line onto the engine shroud I pulled myself back and popping open the case of explosives I pulled the launcher free and began loading up the launcher. Setting the timers for five minutes I began launching them at tactical weak spots. Ion charges on the engines to completely disable them, the EMP charges on the sensor grids and shields. Looking back to the stars I saw there was a planet below. Setting the Dauntless to scan for ability to support life I saw that it was an Oxygen atmosphere, had jungles, some large bodies of water, and plant life. Good, this meant I could force the ship down onto that planet and Jae would survive breathing the air.

Slicing into the comm grid of the Tyrant I spoke through their own ship PA system. "Crew of the Tyrant, This is Captain Andorreth Vikar first of all you should know that you took someone precious to me. Second your contact on the station you just fled from is dead, if any of you survive what comes next you may be able to read about it on the holonet. Whoever has laid any hand on the woman you took is guaranteed death. Remember as I ravage your ship and crew that you all brought this on yourselves."

Reaching out through The Force I felt Jae aboard the ship. Speaking into her mind through The Force I said "Jae I'm on the hull outside, since I'm guessing you heard that you should know I planted ion charges on and in their engines, I also cut their fuel lines, and have placed EMP charges on the sensors and shields. The ship you're on is going to go down, there's a planet below you'll crash on. You'll be able to breathe the air but please Jae....whatever happens in the next few minutes stay in a secure location. If you're in a cell stay there it'll survive the crash. I'm coming Jae...."

Jetting back to the Dauntless I boarded and simply launched the rest of the case onto the ship. Heading to the cockpit I looked at the countdown and there were two minutes left. An eternity to wait but I'd if nothing else scared the living osik out of their crew, they thought they'd gotten away, they were safe, they were wrong...

@Jae Jordan

 

[Jae Jordan]

Jae paced around the cell trying to figure a way out of here. She couldn't rely on brute strength to get her out of here...well maybe she could, if she had any. She had no chance in a fist to fist fight with these guys. She'd need a plan and she'd need it fast, she knew the longer she stayed in this predicament the worst she'd get and her chances of getting out would decline rapidly. She sighed, not having a single idea, until she heard the ships PA system cackle to life. Her eyes instantly lit up as soon as she heard Andorreths voice, thankful he'd found her. She smiled and relaxed a little knowing that Andorreth was nearby.

Not long after the PA system cut out she felt a tingle right before Andorreths voice was in her head. She jumped a little and looked around her cell before realising it was the Force. She listened as he explained the plan he had in mind and what he'd done to the ship she was currently on. "Going down?!" She exclaimed to herself, not entirely sure how to prepare for that. She began to panic slightly again but calmed down upon hearing Andorreths voice and listening to what to do. She nodded to herself and whispered, "ok..just stay in the cell. Crash. And get out, sounds easy enough."

Moving into the corner of the cell she heard voices again, this time outside her head. "Captain Kreall, we are detecting multiple explosives on the exterior of the ship." One of the crew mates said. "Take care of it!! I have other matters to deal with!" As soon as his sentence finished he was in front of Jaes cell once again. "You are causing me a lot of trouble!" He scowled. "What can I say? I cause a lot of trouble, but hey you took me so this is on you." She replied trying her best to not show how terrified she truly was. The Zygerrian grabbed a trigger from his belt and pushed the button, Jae let out a cry of pain as electrical currents ran through the collar and through to her. He was about to press it again when explosions went off, shaking the ship around. Jae began to feel the ship flying into the planets atmosphere and picking up speed as it headed to the planets surface.

What felt like an eternity must've been minutes before the ship impacted with the ground, Jae being thrown to the back of the cell wall. A few moments later she groaned and started to get up again, "Get up!!" Kreall demanded, kicking Jae in the stomach. She winced and curled in clutching her stomach before he grabbed the back of her jacket, pulling her to her feet. "You're coming with me. Consider it insurance in case we run into that friend of yours." He lead the two of them out of the cell and around the ship to get out.

[Andorreth Vikar]

I watched as the explosions wreathed the ship and it plunged towards the planet below. Accelerating to insane speeds I broke the atmosphere and felt through the Force connection I had with Jae that she was in pain and then another burst of sharp pain. I'd warned them....touch her and whoever did would die. Odds were the captain was a coward and would try using Jae as leverage to save his worthless hide. It wouldn't help him though, as it was I'd already reached the beach and after grabbing my sniper rifle I exited the Dauntless making my way through the jungles with the aid of my thrust jets on my armor.

When I reached the crash site I saw people trying to get out of the the ship. The ship was flaming and thick, oily smoke rose from the ships' carcass. Zygarrians were exiting the ship and snapping out the bipod of my rifle I pulled my helmet off to look at the beaches through the scope of my rifle. Seeing the Zygarrian carrying a box of weapons I zoomed in on him as another group fell to trying to prepare shelter and find cover. There was no way I'd let them have more weapons, as another group began carrying out similar munitions boxes I shot the Zygarrian through the head splattering brain matter across a white sandy beach. As he fell the other Zygarrians reacted drawing weapons and looking around wildly. A readout through my scope told me there were explosives in the crate the now dead Zygarrian had been carrying. Flicking the ammo type to explosive tipped I fired a single round and the reaction of the crate was significant. The crate exploded and triggered explosions in the rest of the crates coating the beach in body parts of the first two, the others were coated in incendiary materials that caught fire from the explosions and anyone living could hear the screams.

Panning towards the right I saw who I could only guess was the captain ordering others around and then I saw the leash in his hand. Panning only slightly right of him I saw Jae on her knees with a slave harness around her neck and shoulders. Cold rage filled me and panning the man immediately to the left of the captain I pulled the trigger and watched as brain matter coated the captains face and damaged his hearing. Shouting out so anyone could hear "You shouldn't have taken her from me! You damn well shouldn't have hurt her! I warned you all!!!! Now death himself gets to take a seat and watch me reap you!!! Then I pulled my helmet on and grabbed my rifle as blaster and small arms fire destroyed the perch I'd created mayhem from.

"Come now Captain! Surely there's at least someone in your crew who can fire a weapon accurately! At least hunt your prey rather than use traps like cowards!!!" Explosions rocked the forest as I evaded the wild weapons fire, the more I could force them to fire wildly in hopes of hitting me the less I'd have to deal with when I made my way to the beach. As it was I was circling back to the beach to use the water to come up behind them and eliminate more of them. I wanted the captain to suffer for what he'd done to Jae...

@Jae Jordan

 

[Jae Jordan]

Jae had made it outside the ship she was once held captive in...only to now be held captive outside the ship. Had she made progress? Who knows. All she knew was that a lot was going on around her, from the burning ship behind them all to the rest of the crew running around taking valuable gear out of the ship and onto the beach they were all gathered around on. "Get on your knees!" Kreall demanded as he kicked the back of her legs, forcing her to the ground. Any other time she would've fought back or added a snarky comment to keep things lively, but she didn't have enough energy in her to do anything. The electric shock had taken a lot out of her and she knew if it happened again the pain wouldn't get any easier.

A lot was going on around her though Jae continued to ignore it and persisted in trying to find a way out of here. She needed to get out as soon as possible but she didn't know where Andorreth was or if he'd even reached the planets surface yet. All f a sudden she heard multiple explosions go off, close enough to see hear and feel the heat radiate from them, but not close enough to affect and harm her and the Zygerrians around her. Her eyes darted from one place to the other as one Zygerrian fell after the other like dominoes. She knew it had to be Andorreth, why else would explosives go off like that so unpredictably, but she couldn't be sure, not just yet.

Soon afterwards she heard a voice, loud enough that everyone who'd crashed could hear him. She looked up, hope finally filled her up again upon hearing his voice once again, "Andorreth!" She couldn't help calling out and by the time she realised she'd made a mistake in speaking the Captain had grabbed the end of his blaster and hit her in the back with it, forcing her further to the ground as she held herself up with her arms. "Quiet!! Otherwise I'll end you myself!!" He threatened to kill her then and there. Jae panted slightly as the pain spider webbed across her back. She scoffed at him, doing her best to ignore the pain as she turned to look up at him, "No you won't, cause we all know you'll keep me alive as your security blanket. Cause you're a coward!" She yelled at him. She saw the look of rage in his eyes and only knew what he was about to do next, reaching for the trigger once again, "No, please, don't I- ahh!" The collar sparked back to life once again and Jae writhed around in pain until the electrical currents subsided.

Kreall smirked at Jae as she lay on the ground in pain only looking up when Andorreth spoke once again. He growled at his challenge and turned around to call for his men, "Atai!! Get out here and fire at him! NOW!!!" He demanded, yelling at all of his crew to take aim and fire. Atai lined up his rifle and could see the movement of the top of his helmet, he smirked and curled his finger around the trigger preparing to fire. Seeing the top of the helmet move once more he took the shot and fired. Thinking to himself that he'd gotten a clear headshot, but no one ever said the Zygerrians were smart. Kreall smirked and sent two men to go after him, "Retrieve him now!"

[Andorreth Vikar]

Smiling as I'd thrown my helmet to attract a shot I engaged the stealth belt and melted into nothingness. Hearing Jae cry out my name was a relief knowing she was alive then I heard her cry out in pain. Gritting my teeth I moved into the water smoothly and pulling a rebreather from my belt I dove underwater. Moving along the shoreline I ejected the beskar hidden blade and coming up from the water I rammed the blade up through the jaw of one of these slavers and snapped his neck to keep him quiet. Moving behind another group I snapped the neck of the first then stabbed the second directly through his eye once again snapping his neck. Pulling my silenced pistol I moved down the beach quickly and put a clean headshot through five more skulls.

This Captain clearly had no idea who he'd pissed off...after looping back around to ensure there were no more guards I fired a timed acid grenade and another incendiary grenade at the shelters the Zygarrians had started setting up. Pulling a fabric cloth from a pocket on my armor I tied it around my nose and mouth then channeling The Force I felt for the Captains position. Finding him I with brutal force looked to his immediate surroundings. The sniper, three more guards with two more hiding in the wreckage. Triggering The Force I levitated sand around the sniper's head then covered it entirely squeezing I simply pulped his head and felt the lifeless body drop. The other three I channeled the sand into hardened spikes and skewered them from underneath. Channeling pure emotion of protecting Jae I shot two bolts of Electric Judgement towards the wreckage where I could sense the other two. I watched as the electricity simply melted through the durasteel cover and subsequently both of them.

With a flick of thought I used the sand to clog the gun the hut'uun held against Jae's head. If he did try firing it at her he'd end up blowing his own hand off. With another flick of thought I targeted Jae with The Force and simply used a Force push to move her away from that slime. Disengaging the stealth unit on my belt I appeared in the center of the beach. "How does it feel Captain? To have realized that you can do literally nothing to me. Rest assured you'll die I guarantee that, but before you do you'll be fitted with the very collar you put on my girlfriend. Only then when you realize how enslaved you were to profit and emotion will I end you and I'll ensure you die slowly."

To emphasize my point I wreathed his left foot in sand and simply crushed the bones. Calling the aqua saber to my hand I ignited it with a snap-hiss. I saw the Captain reach for a remote, likely to trigger the shock collar on Jae. I wrapped it in sand and simply crushed it. "Now that she doesn't have to worry about you torturing or simply killing her with that thing we can begin. Draw your blade Captain for once in your life even if it is at the end of your life fight your own battle with honor." Looking at Jae down the beach I reached for her mind again. "Shock Collar trigger was just destroyed, he's not going to lay a hand on you again nor am I ever going to leave you again on stange fuel stations I... love you Jae." With my thoughts communicated I turned my full attention to this horrific captain and waited for the hut'uun to draw his blade.

[Jae Jordan]

Jae winced as she tried to get back up to her knees, her whole body ached by this stage, even more than before, every muscle hurt to move. She didn't know what to do to help Andorreth in this situation, she knew the second she moved or attempted to rebel against the slavers the Captain would hit the button on the remote, once again rendering her to nothing but pain. Making her way to her knees she began panting, unhappy with the amount of effort it took her to simply get to her knees. She looked to her right towards the sniper as she noticed a bunch of sand travel around the snipers head and surround him, she watched him struggle around before simply dropping his arms, falling still and collapsing to the side. Jae watched wide eyed as his lifeless body hit the ground.

Her head darted to the left as she followed the sand with her eyes, watching it form spikes and impaling the three men behind her. Busy watching the three Zygerrians fall to the ground she got quite a shock of surprise once the burst of lightning hit the wreckage, she covered her head with her hands and ducked out of instinct, though she knew Andorreth wouldn't do anything that put her at risk.

Jae looked around as she watched Zygerrian after Zygerrian fall around her, all of a sudden she felt a Force push from beside her, moving her away from the Captain and the wreckage behind them all. She went rolling for a little bit across the beach and stopped on her side, holding her ribs where the Captain had kicked her earlier. She winced and propped herself up on her elbow, turning around upon hearing Andorreths voice.

Kreall boiled with rage as he and his men couldn't lay a single hand on Andorreth. His men were quickly declining, despite him thinking he had the upper hand with an entire crew on his side. Perhaps if he had a more skilled crew the tables would have been turned only slightly, but in this case his men were as good as statues. The Captains glance moved from Jae to Andorreth before his scowl turned into a evil smirk, "Ah but you forget, I may not be able to directly hurt you, but I can hurt her." He threatened as he moved to grab the remote to the shock collar. Jae watched as his hand hovered over the remote and she shut her eyes bracing herself for the shock, but nothing came. Instead she heard a cry of pain, opening her eyes she saw the Captain gritting his teeth as he clutched his leg.

She felt Andorreth in her mind as he spoke to her through the Force and listened to his voice, watching him the entire time he used the Force to communicate with her. She heard the end of his sentence and smiled, wishing they were under better circumstances, "I love you too.." She whispered, weakly rising to her feet, she wanted to help Andorreth in some way, even though she knew she probably wouldn't be of much help in her current state and Andorreth did not look like he needed much help right now.

Kreall growled at Andorreth and leaned on his good leg as he drew his blade, "You destroyed my ship! Killed my crew! And let my slave get away! I will kill you for all the trouble you've caused!!" He yelled at him as he tightened his grip on the hilt of his blade. With his broken left foot, he stood even less of a chance than before. He moved forward as best he could swinging his blade up and bringing it down on Andorreth.

Jae started to move around the beach before she heard a blaster bolt fly through the air, not fast enough to react in her current state the bolt caught her and grazed the side of her arm. She let out a sound of pain and shock as she tripped and fell back to the ground, holding her arm and gritting her teeth in pain, she brought her head up and saw a limping Zygerrian. She groaned and looked around to see what was around her, she caught the blaster of a deceased Zygerrian near her and reached over, grabbing the baster and quickly shooting the Zygerrian in the chest, as he fell to the ground right in front of her. She let her head fall back as she panted from the pain in her arm, trying to keep as little blood loss as possible.

Looking at the captain I said "Yes I did destroy your ship, killed your crew, destroyed your weapons stockpiles, and your slave?! You must be joking clearly even you couldn't be so daft! The reason I did any of this at all is for no other reasons than you took my girlfriend, tried getting away to sell her into slavery you karking worthless hut'uun!" Sidestepping his blade I simply cut off the hand that'd been holding the blaster. Dancing back away I ejected the beskar razor whip and flicked it around his injured leg. Tightening it I could see the razor edges begin slicing through skin. Triggering the electric filament through the whip I began shocking his leg whilst the razors held in place on his leg.

"How does it feel Captain to be on the recieving end of the pain you inflicted on my girlfriend?! You couldn't even be man enough to simply keep her in a cell, you had to fit her with a shock collar while she was unconscious and couldn't fight against you." Jerking harder the razors began slicing through muscles. Dancing forward I sliced clean through his armor and kicked him while holding the whip around his leg. As he began to fall back I simply snapped the whip jerking it hard, I could feel it go through muscle, tendons, then it hit and tore through an artery. Darting back in again I dealt a glancing blow with my saber to his leg cauterizing the damage before simply flicking my wrist back and cutting off one leg at the knee. Then severed his remaining foot, thing about sabers is you'd still be alive even with a severed limb as the heat would simply cauterize the cut.

Spinning to a knee I held the aqua blade at an angle above his head. Hesitating for a brief moment I felt blood speckled spittle hit my thigh. "You'll never bring us all down. As it is there were plenty of slaves me and my crew had fun with other than your girlfriend." His choking laugh angered me further and making the decision I flicked the saber away and dropping to a knee I brought the saber down with a diagonal strike decapitating him. Kicking his body over I began running down the beach to where I'd heard shots, I silently hoped Jae hadn't seen that fight but as I made my way to her laying on the beach curled up in pain. I saw the shock collar. "Jae, honey stay still for a sec." Inverting my saber I cut through that horrid shock collar and deactivated my saber before simply clipping it to my belt.

"Jae, just relax it's over now. Come on Jae just wrap your arm behind my neck." She was in such pain I was surprised she was still conscious. Making a decision I simply scooped her up and simply triggered the jets in my armor so I could just carry her without bouncing her around. We'd get to the Dauntless soon and once we did she'd be going straight in a bacta tank. I'd have my medical droid run a check over her body. Odds were she had at least two cracked if not simply broken ribs the last snide comment that slaver had said also warranted a check up. I wished I could have simply tortured him but it wouldn't have done any good either. Now my only concern was taking care of my girl...

Jae wanted to make her way towards Andorreth but every part of her body ached and throbbed in pain she lay limp on the beach trying to muster the energy to do something, but nothing came of it. She could feel herself slipping between the conscious and unconscious state as the world around her started to fade out. She could see blurred images a little bit away from her, figures moving about. She assumed it was Andorreth and the Captain, she only saw bits and pieces of the fight but even the bits that she did see weren't crystal clear to her.

All of a sudden she couldn't hear any noises, no saber, no cries of pain. Nothing, only the sound of footsteps running towards her and getting closer and closer. She heard Andorreths voice, telling her to not move, which was frankly not a problem for her right now. She remained still as he used his saber to cut through the collar, she felt it release and fall off of her neck hitting the ground, feeling like a weight had been lifted off of her.

Jae felt Andorreths arms move around her, helping her up off the ground. Instantly, without a thought going through her head she wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him as she started to cry into his chest. It was as if everything had finally hit her, the pain was unbearable but her joy of seeing Andorreth seemed to temporarily negate the pain. "Thankyou." She managed to mumble into his chest before she felt him scoop her up, she winced a little at the need to move around but relaxed once she was settled in his arms.

As he activated the jets the duo moved towards his ship. She lifted her head and looked behind them, looking at all the lifeless bodies Andorreth had left behind around the crash site of the ship. Then looking to the centre of it all, seeing the captain with hardly any limbs still intact. She had no issue with them being deceased, in fact she was glad Andorreth had done what he'd done but that didn't negate the fact that it was still all confronting to her. Right now though she just wanted to get as far away from them as possible.

I could feel shock register through Jae as we moved across the battlefield. Landing at the foot of The Dauntless I quickly headed aboard elbowing the button to bring up the hangar bay ramp. Carrying Jae to the med-bay I had the medical droid begin the bacta tank and I could hear her whisper thank you. She was drifting in and out of consciousness and I simply pulled her boots off ejected the hidden blade from my right gauntlet and started cutting through her shirt and pants which had already bascially been shredded. I pulled her leather jacket off and tossed it into a chair as the medical droid began fitting her with a harness and breathing mask for the bacta tank. Looking to the droid I said "I want a full examination, broken bones, dislocations, and also if she's faced sexual trauma."

The droid nodded and said "As you wish sir I will secure the harness and submerge her in the bacta tank. Please step back now sir, I shall ensure she's treated with the utmost care I can provide." Nodding I simply watched as my girl was lifted via an elevator and submerged into a bacta bath. Reaching for her mind I said "Jae you were drifiting in and out of consciousness I wanted to ensure you were alright and not suffering from internal bleeding or anything more serious. Rest Jae, I'm watching out for you and nobody will hurt you while I'm around."

Jae could hear and feel Andorreth working around her, ridding her of her shirt and clothes as he prepared the bacta tank. Her head fell to the side, eyelids heavy and halfway closed as she noticed the medical droid running around and grabbing the harness along with the breathing mask. She got slightly anxious, not having been in a bacta tank before and not being completely aware of what was going on around her.

She was fitted with the appropriate wear for the tank as her eyes searched the room, looking for Andorreth as she got more and more anxious by the minute. She felt herself go up on the elevator and down into the bacta tank, being submerged in the coolness as it sent a slight chill down her back. As she started to breathe with the assistance of the mask she relaxed, adjusting to the new circumstances. She then heard Andorreths voice in her head once again, quickly getting used to it considering the amount of times it's happened in the last few hours. She felt even more relaxed knowing Andorreth was out there and would make sure nothing else happened to her. Now she resorted to resting and letting the bacta tank do what it was made to do.

As Jae was slipped into the bacta tank and the droid began running his checks over Jae Iooked at the droid and said "I'll be gone for the five minutes. Should she wake tell her that I'm checking out the stealth field to ensure we won't be detected and that she'll be safe." The droid nodded and I walked back to the hangar and exited the ship. Something the Captain had said made my blood chill which was why I had the droid looking for what EXACT types of injuries she'd sustained. Thing was the Captain had mentioned other slaves...if they'd survived I couldn't just leave and let them face this world alone. Odds were they had people who cared for them too, so I was back aboard the wreckage of the Tyrant now. Making my way to the prisoner cells I heard lowered voices and glass scraping against pavement. That wasn't good, last thing I needed was to be stabbed trying to do the right thing.

"Hello? I can hear you all moving y'know...So I'm guessing you all know the ship you're on has crashed but I thought I'd be the first to do anything right for you all. The Captain who took all of you is dead by my blade, I'm going to cut the hinges from all your cell doors so I'd recommend you stand back a bit." With that I unclipped my saber and ignited the aqua blade with a snap-hiss then cut through the hinges of the eight cells. Using The Force to simply pull slightly on all eight doors they fell open allowing for whoever was inside to walk out. Spinning my saber away from my body with the blade angled down towards the floor I saw movement as several young women stepped from the confines of their cells.

As they came out one young, ill-fed Mirialan said "Jedi aren't supposed to kill." Extending my hand I waited for her to grab it before I spun her around inverting my saber sliced clean through the shock collar. "Well I'm not sure I classify as a Jedi but I'd say rather Jedi should be required to do what's necessary if it means doing the right thing. More than that I have a major problem with slavery and ill treatment of women. In any case Miss, you and your friends are welcome to come aboard my ship. I may not have the most room, but I've got showers and clean clothes for you and yours. First though about those collars...With that I simply said "Ladies if you please turn around and I'll be removing those horrible collars from your necks." They all reluctantly turned and I simply went down the line slicing the collars away, one side of the ship then the other. The Mirialan said "we'll come, you're the first to offer any true hope let alone openly defy slavers and free slaves."

Nodding quietly I began walking away with footsteps behind me. "Seraya by the way, my name is Seraya." Nodding I said "a pleasure Seraya. You all look as though you weren't beaten recently..." She looked away and said "the defiant one, Jae she took the Captains wrath to keep us from harm. The Captain still wouldn't defile her though, probably because he had some high-paying client... Is she okay? Did she survive the crash? Oh....oh please say she did?" Nodding I said "Aye, Jae did indeed survive the crash managed to empty a clip into a Zygarrian too. I certainly picked the right amount of toughness and caring in a girlfriend."

We'd reached the hangar to The Dauntless and she stopped and said "Your girlfriend? No wonder we're alive, you, you're Captain Vikar the one who came on the ships' PA system." Nodding I said "indeed I am" looking into the hangar I said "alright girls there are showers in between the crew dorms eight people can fit in a cabin but there's four beds to a cabin so split off into two cabins, showers are yours and I'll have my droid bring you all some fresh clothes." Looking towards Seraya I said "I have to go check on Jae, inform my droid if you all require anything else."

Wheeling back to the med-bay I returned and looked towards my medical droid. "Sir I've run the tests you requested, three cracked ribs, two broken ribs which are healing nicely and a dislocated shoulder which I had the med-probes reset into place. As for the sexual trauma none showed on any scans meaning she did not suffer such trauma." Looking towards the droid I said "Thanks Doc, could you please have one of the other droids bring a kimono robe from my chambers? There should be an indigo one in the closet..." The droid bowed and trundled away to do as I'd asked. Crossing my legs I sat in a meditation stance waiting for Jae to open her eyes...
