Welcome to Gaia! ::

Luger gave a growl and walked past her and Hilder and Vernos, deeper into the ship."Get ready for ah hard welcomin` party boys!"He said and had his way to the secound storage, having been converted into a weapon and armor storage. Vernos grined and followed. The only none-human or near-human of the crew gave his kinsmate a smile."Don't let him frighten you kay? Hes really a good man."He then turned and made his way to the armory aswell.

Amras turned in his seat."You can have a seat right there."He nodded to the co-pilots seat."S'ok, like Haldir said, hes just like that sometimes. You an't seen nothnig of his true monster though, and hope you never do."He swiveled his chair back around, grabing the controls again."I once saw him take out a half-dozen wookies, course after that he was in a bacta tank for a few days."Amras gave a smile."Can always count on my cousin to get us out of a fix."

He nodded and, "Yes my master, I am your yto command," he said with a fist, he didn;t like the idea of freezing his butt off on Illum, but he would be happy to 'teach' an admiral a lesson about power.

"Hang in there!" Kalnar said, entering the Aldera Ballet. "Padawan, have you brought it?" he asked Gunther.

"Yes, Master," Gunther answered. "Will this do it?" he said, producing a breathing apparatus.

"Yes, thank you, padawan." Kalnar replied. He then looked to the Kel Dor. "Here, take this," he instructed. Looking to Gunther, he said, "We must work quickly, if we are to save him,"

"Hang in there, Zell," Rusty encouraged him.

Kalnar and Gunther frowned. "Master. Is there a way we can remove the damaged mask, and give him this one?" the boy asked, giving Zell a concerned look.

"There is one thing, maybe." Kalnar offered. "Listen to me. I'm going to put you in a healing trance, during which time, you'll be in a state of suspended animation. It may be able to buy you the chance you need to live." the Mon Cal asked. "Do you agree to this?"

"And while you're under, we can put on the good mask," Gunther offered.

Ferno had finally done it. Yet the pleasure from the kill did not arise. Of all the deaths Hiko could have done, this one was the worst for Ferno. Even in death, the man ran and taunted him. Not an honorable death, one which he had wanted. The bittersweet victory would rest so sour in his mouth he would not be able to stop thinkingn about it for days.

Snatching up the remains, he tucked them away. For many, it woould appear to be a trophy. Ferno thought otherwise, as he ascended the wall and went to exit the caves. The teams would move in and begin excavation of the crystal he located.

The shuttle would take him to his star destroyer, and wait until the deployments were finished.

~~~

As the shuttle exited hyperspace several hours later, Maladi was still sorting through things on Coruscant. The transfer of shuttles took only several moments once landed, as she plowed through those standing in her way to get from place to place.

((Should we puppet the Wookies, Leave them in Orbit or wait for Elvis?))

Archaras suddenly realized that someone else had been shooting during the fight, and turned to see a Kel'dor with a rifle, downed, and whose mask had been damaged. He ran to him, and picked him up, doing a diagnostic in his mind. "Well it appears this rupture is too much to repair. I'm going to find a sealant patch, wait here," and charged off into the space port.

He returned, wielding the sealant with great care, only to see the Mercenary in the care of two Jedi. He walked beside them and said "Ah, you appear to have this under control...It took longer than expected to find a sealant here, but I see it matters not. I'm going to go marshal the rest of Ms. Starsinger's forces. I am, you see, the one who warned you. Anshiel Russ at your service."

He awaited their reply, and trotted back to the hangar, and watched another freighter come down. He walked to the ship as it kicked up dust, and reloaded his pistol's as he landed, and watched as the ramp dropped. He glanced back at the jedi, then looked at the crew of the ship as they debarked, saying "Looks like you're part of the Starsinger group as well, I'm Anshiel Russ, a group of Jedi have already reached ground here, they're over here. This way," He pointed and led the rest of the mercs to the Jedi and the downed Merc...

The sith apprentice was no fool and he spoke with a snide, "Yes we will see all right," and walked away from maladi and entered the shuttle taking him to the star destroyer of Ferno. While waiting, he meditated feeling the space around him...as soon as they hit hyperspace he could already feel the presence of the strong sith. He then realized the Maladi had sent him basicly into a death trap. Now...now he knew he was in the middle of a personal war...and it was time for himto make a suprising tide on maladi...

Letting his presnce be heard in the galaxy, he let the dark side flow freely making himself a beacon, so that the sith lord would know he was coming.

Zell felt the mask adjust to his face as it hissed and attached itself to his face"Much better"He said, as the fresh air for him rushed into his burning lungs, and he turned his eyes to the Jedi"Thank you so much, now if I am alowed to go somewhere, I need to go make a large withdrawl"He said.
