Tracking a slave merchant

[Acaleus Thorn]

As Acaleus followed the merchant on the street of Coruscant a few steps behind, thoughts about how to defeat six armed guards all alone had him hesitating.
"The seven for two thousand credits" said the Hutt dealer "one and a half" answered the toydarian buyer with two of the six guards in his side. "Those slaves...their are talking about lifes...selling lifes as if they were objects" The deal was in an alley and there were nobody aside them.
Acaleus climbed a balcony and hid two floors above them. The moon light wasnt on his side as the guards had rifle blaster and seemed good range shooters. He put out his hidden blades of his wrists and prepared for jumping without any plan "I lived long enough as a slave. I wont let them alive for this"

What good in a slave-trading situation would be a bar guard? Probably not much at all, in fact, she may even find herself in a touch of trouble for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. In the casual guard outfit for a local bank, a butt-long haired woman presses herself against the wall of the outside of the ally, not much paying mind to the scene inside, but rather looking at the streets and the people passing, if any. Pursing her lips, blissfully unaware of the guards or dealings about to be ambushed behind her, she began to hum a tiny peaceful tone, one of a mother's lullaby.

(How do i write your name in this in dying TnT)

The air was fresh as he jump above them. First he take down one guard of the Hutt and shouted "Attack now Furgtein!" referring to the toydarian as he opened his eyes without knowing who he was. They never meet in their entire life, but the Hutt dealer thought they were ambushing him for stealing his goods "Shot everyone!" he ordered pointing out the toydarian, and the three guards that were still standing obey raining dead.
Acaleus quickly take down another guard of the Hutt stabbing him in the neck as the blood spilled in his face, but got a shot in his leg. The two guards of the Hutt and the other two of the Toydarian were shooting and Acaleus was in the middle trying to take cover.

As the sound of screaming, grunting, shots fired and everything normal witnessed behind her, the young woman quietly rested her humming into a silent breathing. Well, that didn't sound too good, and it wasn't normally a thing for it to be happening near the city. Slowly rolling into the allyway entry, she cleared her throat. "Do any of you have a warrant to be selling in this area? If not the authorities may be upset why they're shooting with no trade warrant." She stated plain and boredly to the small crowd.

 

[Acaleus Thorn]

(I will try this again @La'kuus Quelin )

Everyone stopped shooting and looked the girl "I dont know that guy!" shouted Furgtein "Capture him" their guards took Acaleus by the arms as he hide his hidden blades "For that you will be send to the mines and die there" said the Hutt dealer "Sorry for the trouble little girl, we are leaving now"

"Sorry for killing you" Acaleus raise his hands and stab both guards in the neck but fell to the ground, same as the two dead guards. The toydarian was angry "Execute him and i will pay two thousands for the slaves" The Hutt smile for that "Shoot him at my signal!"

Acaleus tried to crawl away but a guard kick him in the rib and point the blaster in his back head

 

[La'kuus Quelin]

(( My @mention button doesn't work, sorry. ))

The girl gently cleared her throat and stretched her knuckles out. "I must apologize on behalf of my cousin, he doesn't seem to understand his place as royalty. May I convince you to let me take him back to Tirahnn? I assure you a piece his wealth can well cover the price of your guards and a little more." Keeping her same, neutral bored face at the Hutt as she spoke, the long-haired woman didn't seem to even flick a finger to any weapons on her body, not that any were visibly seen, if any.

 

[Acaleus Thorn]

"Payment?" the guards let Acaleus go and he tried to walk to the girl "One thousands credits for every guard. That´ll be four thousand credits little girl. I dont care he is a royalty. I want the cash now!" "Me too!" said the Hutt and the Toydarian.
Acaleus grabbed his rib in pain as he stand aside the log-haired girl "Just let them catch me. You dont have to pay them anything"

"Oh quiet..." With the same expression she dug loosely into her coin purse until she pulled out a random handful, with a little extra inside. She counted away, then sighed and just held out the hand with the money. "Equal pay to keep you both out of trouble with one of the richest planets." She spoke quietly, motioning to the stranger who she's damn well risking her butt for to save with a small signal used commonly in the higher up district, saying get yo butt over here.

 

[Acaleus Thorn]

The hutt and the toydarian left with the money in hand "Why helping me?" Acaleus looked at her as he adjust his weapons "Slavers. I dont like them" his right leg burn for the shot. "Name´s Acaleus, what is my saviour name?"

"I'm your relative until we get a few hundred meters away from those "credits."" Without another word she turned away, walking out of the ally and into the small crowd of the town. "I suggest you stay close." For someone with few words, she sure seems to be a bossy one.

 

[Acaleus Thorn]

He follow her trying to catch up "I will call you nameless then" the street was too crowded this hours of the night. He glanced the girl "So 'cousin', why did you save a stranger? Or we arent too far away yet?" he used the force but he didnt felt anything out of place in her

After a few moments, she stopped and looked at the stranger for a split second. After, her hand dug around into one of her pockets. Soon enough she held out a small little button, connected to a piece of encased wiring. "Press this two times simultaneously and those credits make for a sky high experience."

 

[Acaleus Thorn]

He sighted "I wanted the location of those slaves" Acaleus took the button and look at her "Thanks" said looking at her as he pressed two times the device. A explosion felt from maybe half a district away and he saw the smoke coming down from the south "Nameless i need to go back, maybe find some clues of the location of the slaves and free them"

 

[La'kuus Quelin]

[member="Acaleus Thorn"]

The woman simply shrugged and held her hand for the device back. "Have fun. Just keep in mind next time, killing all the guards isn't the way to get information. Dead men tell no tales." A bored face kept on her even still, unamused by anything he seemed to be doing. Even her mind had a share in the feeling.

 

[Acaleus Thorn]

He gave back the object "So you are just a normal-bomb armed, nameless pedestrian..." he took a bandage out of his pocket and wrapped around his harmed leg "...that just likes saving random lifes?" Acaleus stood up and looked at her
"I owe you so what can i do to make it up?"

She shook her head gently to the side, then put her hands on her hips, looking up to the top of a building boredly. "Just an everyday superhero with ordinary super powers." She turned to look down at the man again, nodding her head. "Good luck on your mission sleeves."

 

[Acaleus Thorn]

"I will make you a deal. Help me capture them. I will make the Techno Union pay you whatever price you request. Im not ordering you anything, just friendly asking" if she help him, maybe he would find the answer to the whereabouts of his brother. If not, well...he may need to see how many shots his body could take

La'kuus felt a little offended at the comment. She simply shook her head to him and looked gently a few feet away. "Sorry, I'm not in it for the money. I'm in it because I like do to it. So no deal, I'm afraid."

 

[Clone Pilot Oddball]

Oddball heard all the commotion. He ran to the scene as fast as he could with his DC-15 in hand. He turned the corner and saw blood everywhere and two people near each other apparently one helping the other up. He stood for a second and realized a familiar face.
"@La'kuus Quelin what in blue blazes are you doing here?"
Oddball pointed his gun at [member="Acaleus Thorn"].
"Aye, who's the scrapper here?"

 

[Acaleus Thorn]

"Not a mercenary. You know i ask you this kind of question just for knowing a little more about you right?" he took off his hood and scratched his back neck "As you are a close book" he shake his head and sighed "You wanna help me taking down that slave mafia or not?"
