Welcome to Gaia! ::

Freya nodded to the large wookie warrior. "Understood." she said. She also internally debated having some of Chen's volunteers shadow her to the palace. "The Sith wore a dark tunic," she weakly described the Sith. "Did you get the chance to get a holo?" she queried Rusty.

"Yes," the droid replied. "However, I cannot guarantee the quality of the image," came the disclaimer. With that, he shot off a low-resolution image of the Sith.

Chenahab stood with his chin in his hand. < As he says ... the image isn't very clear. It could be anyone, > the wookie leader commented.

"We totally have to make haste," Freya frantically stated. "If Bear's still alive, we so have to go back for him!"

< Chances are, Bear fell where he stood, > came Chen's mournful bay. < If so, then we must pick him up, and give him the proper rites, >

Chen then looked to his volunteers. < All of you, keep your eyes open! > he roared.

"Yeah. I don't think the Sith's after them," Freya said. "Can you and him go ahead of us? The rest of you, watch our backs,"

< Understood, > the wookie said. < Zalracca, follow me, > the wookie bayed.

And then, Schaffer and Hauser, the two volunteers from Cloud City, arrived. "Anything for us, Lady Starsinger?" Hauser queried.

"Yes." Freya said. "Totally keep the ship ready for launch," she said. "If that Sith b***h shows her face around here, man the guns, and totally blow her back to Coruscant,"

Hauser chuckled at that. "You got it, Lady Starsinger,"

"Then, like, let's go see the queen," Freya said.

Kar'en "decloaked" some ways distant from Angel, her saber in her hand and the hood of her cloak draped to conceal her face.
"Power, of course." She replyed Dryly. "But of a more immediate concern, I want to know what Freya Starsinger's purpose is on Naboo."
The woman's lightsaber activated and a crimson blade thrummed into existance.
"And I'm more than capable of forcing the information from you, Witch. Unless you wish to know what it feels like to have your skin burned slowly away from your flesh, centimeter by centimeter, then youwill tell me what I wish to know now."

Aksel appeared from the Rusty Z. He moved swiftly next to Zerosel.
"I have what we need to know. Company?"
double-short bladed red lightsabers ignited.
"Jedi? Did you cause this? Do you ask for such a painful death?"

Neel'Ao stood from the blow.
"Master Jedi? It is good to see other alive!"

Link Proceeded to do battle with the Saber Rake, though Link hardly concidered it a battle. The Rake would use the most elementary techniques and tricks, to which Link parried, blocked, or dodged every time, occasionally rewarding his opponent's faliures with another strike from the Hilt of Link's lightfoil.

The Jedi, keeping up with the lesson in humility, kept toying with his arrogant opponent as the man's anger and frustration grew. Out of his peripheral, link noted that the surrounding Saber Rakes were fingering their lightfoils in anticipation.
What are they waiting for? he wondered.
Then his opponent stepped back and saluted him with his Lightfoil.

Link was puzzled by this until his lightblade cut out.
The Fizzle of five more lightfoils sounded and Link quickly found himself surounded by the Rakes.
Huffing and out of breath, the lead Saber Rake smirked. "Ive grown tired of toying with you, serf."
"Is that what you call it?" Link remarked.

The Rake scowled and pointed his blade at Link. "Silence, you bottom feeder! We're not about to let an inferior humiliate us and get away with it!"
"Oh, are you in for a disapointment." Link said with a slow shake of his head.
"Make your jokes, fool. But you have no weapons left! You are unarmed and will soon fall under our blades!"

The Rake was only partially correct. Link had disarmed himself of his sword and Gaffi-stick at the edge of the platform. His lightsabers, however, remained hidden upon his person.
Link wasnt about to draw those yet. He still had one tool left, and it would be more than enough to deal with the whole lot of them.
Link snatched his hunting knife from his boot sheath and took it in hand.

The Rakes surrounding him laughed.
"You seriously can't think a mere dagger can hold against our Lightfoils!"
Link smirked confidently. "You wield those Lightfoils against this one and show him all that they are. This one wields his knife, and will manifest it's secrets."

"So those are your last words? So be it!" The Man darted forward and sliced down at Link with his lightfoil, intending to chop Link in two.
The energy blade crashed against the hunting knife, neither breaking or cutting the metal weapon.
Link then slipped around the Suprised Saber Rake's side, grabed the man's sword arm, then swiftly and neatly broke it.
Throwing the disabled man to the ground, he spun upon the other saber rakes, knife in hand.
"Now then, let us finish this." He remarked as he advanced on the group.

"Chen, Gorry, you both totally take care, ok?" Freya said, as the two volunteers led the way to Theed Palace.

"Scanners online," Rusty said.

"Good," Freya said. Of course, she wasn't sure how efective they would be against a Sith. Still, it didn't hurt to take every precaution one could. "I'll be, like, so damned if that Sith gets the drop on me again," And, the gears in her mind turned as they made their way.

As the group continued on the Theed Palace, Freya also added, "And, we should so totally talk to that one dude that Bastet mentioned," she said, trying to get the name to come to her. "Like, was it Liger? Booger? Sugar?"

"Luger," Rusty chimed in.

"Luger!" Freya exclaimed. "Thanks, Rusty!"

"I believe he was last seen operating out of Rodia, if the information is correct," Rusty said.

"Then, as soon as we're done here, let's go to Rodia, and totally find this guy!"
