Tishr checked his scanners as he flew his fighter through the thin column of atmosphere connecting Dxun and Onderon for the recon base he and Slayn were to land at finally finding it by the tall anti-ship laser cannon towers reaching up above the tree line. Tishr brought his ship up over the level of the towers before radioing to the base.
"Onderon Recon base, this is yellow-2235 requesting clearance to land." said Tishr hoping the permission had be relayed to the base already.
"Roger, yellow-2235 you have permission to land on pad 4" crackled the base landing control over the fighter's transmitters. Tishr began to bring the ship into land before dropping the landing gear and setting the fighter down a bit harder than necessary, he never was more than a passable pilot.

Slayn sat in the fighter feeling the inertia of it's powerful engines pushing him back into his seat. The tree tops of Dxun were ever so green, there was a flock of something flying Slayn couldn't make out what they were since he was to far away to get a good visual. He was anxious to get out there while Tishr spoke to one of the officers on the recon base trying to get clearance for landing.
The landing was a little rough, but in the end they had landed safely on the pad. Slayn quickly opened the cockpit door and jumped down on to the landing pad below. A Mandalorian walked over to him.
"Hey Slayn I know where they took her,"
"John What...What are you doing here?"
"There's no time they said there going to kill her lets move."

Tishr was more than a little shocked to find a Madalorian armored man waiting just off the landing pad as he climbed out and carefully slipped the shoulder strap of his Merr-shonn NC-12 sniper rifle over his shoulder and and listened to Slayn talk to this man, John by the sound of it before they bother started jogging off again, Tishr cursed he hated being out of loop and being hurried. "You two do realize this planet is infested with mandalorians and dangerous beast and your lucky the Onderons didn't blast you apart john." Tishr paused a minute catching his breath be for asking "Are either of you even listening?"

Slayn and John kept there brisk jog up no paying any mind to Tishr. John lead them into the forests of Dxun there were many critters around and the forest gave over a dingy musky feeling. Slayn stopped and turned around. "Alright Tis your going to need these," he handed Tishr two thermal grenades. Slayn grinned underneath his mask he knew they were going to have a little fun, even though he knew they would be out numbered.
"Alright boys we'll spit up Slayn you and your pal here go to the right and I'll take the left. There camp isn't that far from here, idiots set up camp out here knowing its dangerous," John began to jog off into the distance until he was no longer visible.
"Ok Tish since you have a sniper rifle can you give me support?"

Tishr was getting a little irritated by now, and tired huffing and puffing, while he was used to creeping through the jungle for days sprinting through one was not something he was used to as such he was very happy when the two men stopped taking the chance to rest against a short tree. He couldn't help but to look at the thermal grenades like strange hungry monsters he had never liked grenades they had a bad habit of going off at bad times, but he took them any way carefully placing them in one of his belt pockets and taking the opportunity to activate the small dye capsules embedded in the cloth sections in between the plates of his light armor.
Tishr felt a small amount of relief at slayn's question at least they didn't seem to expect him to go charging into the base. He reached up and slid his rifle off his shoulder and brought it up to an insight position before saying "I always enjoy over watch, just point the way."

Slayn nodded an was quite pleased with Tishr's remark. He was glad to have two soldiers on his side and both were ready for combat. "You find a good spot to snipe from and when you find a good position take out the first guy you see so that I can charge in." Slayn began to pace himself as he ran north, he slowed down and began to creep his way toward the camp.
He could see smoke probably from a fire, taking cover behind a tree and waiting for Tishr to get into position. Slayn grabbed his binoculars from a pouch on his belt. He looked around the camp to see how many people they'd be fighting against. There where four of them standing at the fire drinking. Two more stood by a tent and appeared to be guarding it, and the other tents showed silhouettes of others inside each one. altogether he counted about twenty people. It shouldn't be to difficult he was sure to be in far worse situations then this.
Slayn looked to his left and spotted John taking aim with his DC-25 blaster rifle. Slayn had the same kind but he had modified his rifle to his specific likings. Now it was all up to Tishr to shoot down the first guy once he did that he and John could begin there raid.

Tishr quickly looked around before finally deciding on a slim Yarsona tree, and shimmed up into it's low canopy and jamming himself in between it's branches. from here tishr could see almost the entire feild camp with his Verpine made goggles he could see man people milling around in several of the tent like buildings. He glanced down to be sure that Slayn was in position; victory here would rely on speed and surprise, before hefting his rifle and sighting down it's electronic scope. The small Orange targeting dot flared as he placed just above the base of the first guards skull, before letting out a small breath and slowly pulling the trigger the gun making little more than a low whistle as it drove the small metallic dart trough the mans skull and into a near by tent, tishr quickly followed hitting a second guard who had barely began to react in the heart.

Slayn held his breath when the first target went down then the second. The men from the campfire turned around confused about what just happened, exactly what Slayn needed the element of surprise. He dashed out from the position of which he was hiding quick aim and quick shot were the only thing that was going to keep him alive. Slayn quickly took aim and fired two shots which reached there mark as the flung through one of the guards chest, before the second could even react Slayn shot him in his head taking down yet another unsuspecting victim.
John had come charging out of the right side taking down the next two guards standing in from of him. He was lucky cause if it weren't for John he would of gotten shot. Though his armor could withstand anything these pirates could deal they didn't seem to have heavy weaponry like he and his companions did which gave them the edge they needed to take these criminals down. Not saying he was on himself, but was bounty hunting all that bad? well it wasn't to him because he only took the honest bounties which were the ones considered criminals in the galaxy. Unlike most bounty hunters Slayn was different he could kill women and children not even if they committed a heinous crime.
Slayn and John took cover behind a bunch of steel boxes. They began firing at their position. heavy blaster fire came from another direction. 'Damn they must have a torrent around here' he could tell Tishr to take out the torrent because he had no way of communicating with him, now he was starting to regret not planing better. Hopefully it wasn't an auto targeting torrent cause if it was they'd be there all day, then he remembered he gave Tishr two thermal grenades if it was an auto torrent Tishr would have to reveal his position just to destroy the damn thing.

From his position tishr could see the auto targeting turret firing at slayn and his compatriot, but he could also see its lightly armored rear armor guarding it's targeting matrix. He switched out the magazine of armor penetrating ammunition for the small clip of high explosive darts and took careful aim at the center of the turrets droid brain before putting the dart into it, leaving a 4 inch hole through it's brain. quickly switching back to his normal ammunition catching two shocked men in the shoulder and throat.

The hail of blaster bolts stopped, he and John quickly rose and rushed for new targets. Slayn changed his rifle to burst fire and began shooting down the men rushing out of their tents. Another man was talking on a comlink could he have called for back up? Slayn took steady aim and shot him in the leg sending him down. He would wait to go back and find out information from the man later, but right now he needed to take out any remaining threats.
Slayn entered each tent searching for Adara, he had peered in five tents and still no one. John was shooting some on coming pirates covering Slayn so that he could continue his search. Slayn stopped to take notice to a large sound coming from the distance. They'd finally find out what the sound was in the next twenty seconds. It was a couple of transport units. 'Since when do pirates have military technology? something strange is going on.'
Slayn dashed behind a tree for some cover. "John take cover!" he shouted, but it was to late before John could react he was shot by the gun torrents on the ships. Slayn hung his head after seeing another one of his companions die. He scanned the armor of the ship it appeared to be a heavy armor able to with stand a thermal grenade thats for sure. 'What if this operation was something different I just hope Adara is safe'he thought as he watched more men exit the transport units and this time more heavily armored.
"Sniper on your six!" shouted one of the men exiting the transport. He must have been referring to Tishr, Slayn hoped his new friend would move before he would share the same fate as John.

Tishr had spotted the transports moving in, but continued raining rounds into the soldiers on the ground before the tell-tale sounds of blaster rounds burning though wood and leaves as a hail of blaster rounds began to rain into the canopy he was hiding in. Tishr managed to dodge a blaster bolt heading at his head dodging it my inches as he rolled out of the way, causing him to lose his grip on the branch and fall twelve feet to the ground. He began to crawl out of the immediate area of the tree before loading a tracker dart into his rifle and punching it into the hull of one of the shuttles before limping off into the jungle towards the Onderan recon base hoping Slayn would go there as well.

Slayn watched as the they began firing on a position one of the ground troops had pointed to. 'Oh no Tishr' If they killed Tishr there was no one left he would have to fight alone, but how? He was good but not that good to take on a what seemed like a battalion of armored pirates would be suicide. Slayn would have to retreat and regroup, so he threw himself to the ground and crawled away from the came. When he felt it was a safe enough distance he ran back to the recon base. When he reached the base he took of his helmet out of breath, he began cursing and pacing back and forth. He was now alone if Tishr had gotten away he might be injured. All Slayn could do was wait if he went back into the forest he would risk getting himself captured or worse killed.

Tishr slowly crept through the jungle being careful to avoid any open areas with his light blaster carbine in a ready to fire position. Tishr was moving slowly between the rough terrain and his sprained ankle, but finally breathed a sigh of relief as he passed one of the tall turret towers surrounding the base and limped into the base towards their small medical station.

Slayn continued to wait a few minutes had passed and still no signs of life. Could his new friend have been killed? Just then he could she a shadow of a person in the distance. From that point on he had no doubt it was his friend Tishr he was limping. Of course he was limping he just been shot out of his hiding place anyone who'd survive a twelve foot drop from a tree was sure to be injured. He walked over to the medical station.
"I'm sorry for dragging you into this. You could've let me go on my own you know, but anyway if it wasn't for you I'd be a dead man thanks I owe you one." he said placing on hand on Tishr's back. Indeed he felt he owed Tishr something because of his kindness and he had helped him with the fight back at the enemy camp.

Tishr spotted Slayn just after he had managed to haul himself up on one of the thin medical cots lined up along the walls of the small medical facility. Tishr spoke with out any hesitation after Slayn finished. "You don't owe me anything Slayn I consider something of a duty of mine to help people who need it." Tishr winced a little bit as the medical droid began to stabilized his injured ankle "Besides I always manage to scare up some trouble when I wander home, the one before last was a scary one. Anyway on the bright side" he said before detaching the small computer off his wrist and handing it to slayn " at least we can give the pirates a house call, now you don't mind I'd like to go to sleep I've been up 26 hours now, I'm tired and my ankle hurts." He finished before settling down against the bed.

Slayn had nodded "Alright Tish you rest, I also need time to prepare for our house call." Slayn walked away from the medical station back inside the recon base to the docking bay. He thought maybe Tishr had some type of communication within his ship, so that he could contact anybody he knew that was still alive besides alot of people owed him favors.
When he entered the docking bay there stood a whole squadron of Onderon Militia men. one of the men walked up to him.
"We caught you on camera walking into the forest and we've received complaints from these two gentlemen that you randomly attacked them. Now we've also scouted the area there are several dead bodies in the area. We've identified each and they appear to be respected civilians of Onderon. We here by place you under arrest of these accounts of murder and a case of assault for the man in the medical station, if you choose to resist we will exercise force." Slayn was surprised at the fact that there were so many militia men there I guess they got a scare thinking it was one guy who caused all that damage. What he really wanted to know was that how did the pirates manage to clean up so fast and they made it seem like he hurt Tishr. This would definitely be a hard situation to get out of.
They placed an energy restrainer on him and forced him up the ramp into the transport shuttle. Slayn sat in a seat across from a Gamorrean, he wondered why the large fellow was in there all was certain he was sure to go on trial back on Onderon. The shuttle closed the ramp and took off disembarking for Onderon

Tishr had barely watched Slayn leave before he saw three Onderon militia guards walk into the small medic station. He barely paid any mind to the men watching them through half closed eyes until he noticed them behaving a little strangely and thats when he noticed something else wrong. "That uniform is wrong I wore that when I was in academy, Onderon hasn't used that in almost 27years..."he thought when the impostors noticed he was awake the third began running towards the door before the other two hefted their weapons aiming at tishr, but he was ready for it quickly dropping off the side of the bed and grabbing his gear from behind it taking several shots at the men with his holdout blaster before grabbing his carbine and dropping both men. " I should have know something was wrong when their where more men here now than earlier, I hope they haven't done anything to Slayn yet." He thought slowly peaking out the door, spotting the finale man that had ran out of the room.
Tishr shot him just bellow his knee dropping him to the ground as yelled out. Tishr stayed in the shadows several moments to make sure no one was coming before walking up behind the man and trapping his arms behind him. "I want to know where the man how arrived with me was taken and if you don't tell me I remove parts, Clear."He said accenting the finale word with a sharp tug on the man's arms already contorted in a awkward angle.
"I don't.." He stopped off with a muted squeak as Tishr popped his shoulder out of socket. The man started again moaning a little as he went on "shuttle left for Onderon I don't know where their going they don't tell me, my com unit can track them." he finished with a groan.
Tishr picked up the pirate's com unit up before knocking him out and dragging him into the medic unit before running to his ship and thrusting off from the pad flying as fast as he could towards the blip on the com unit while radioing the Onderan militia about their recon base.

Slayn Sat in the Transport ship he let out a large sigh. Completely ignoring anything the militia men were talking about Slayn was already contemplating away to get himself out of the current situation. He kept thinking about what the man said about them scouting the area, it not had been five minutes and Slayn was sure that the militia wouldn't believe such a bogus report cause if it were true they probably would have been there the moment they heard blaster fire.
He looked at one of the uniforms something was odd about there uniforms. this time there insignia's were different from the insignia he saw when he meet Tishr's friend back in the cantina. Slayn immediately came to the conclusion that these men aren't actually who they say they are.
"So you thought you could get away huh? You've killed a half a dozen of my men thats unforgivable!" the other men seemed to tune in. This guy acted like there leader or maybe a squad leader who knew exactly how many they had in numbers. "Don't worry your little friend is still alive he's in a kolto tank, he be fine then we'll get to torture him along with you and that girl." There was good news at least both John and Adara were still alive, but now he had to find away to escape his possible death along with there's.
"You know for such a tough guy you aren't so tough." Slayn always made smart remarks when he was in captive situations. The man just seemed to pace around until he grabbed Slayn's helmet and took it off.
"So what are you trying to say you little punk." he said. Slayn remembered that face it was a face he'd never forget. "Do you remember all those years ago?" Slayn had a vivid memory he remembered that day as if it were yesterday. Then Slayn would feel a rush of pain, he was punched in the jaw. "Who's the tough guy now!" The man went by the name of Cianan he provoked a fight with Slayn on a Cantina back on Nar Shaddaa quite some years ago. Cianan left the room and signaled to his men to watch him. 'This situation just gotten bad to worse' he thought.

Tishr backed his fighter away from the shuttle pulling back just out of visual range he had seen what he needed to. Tishr continued to follow the shuttle until the blip abruptly stopped before dropping off the tracking unit entirely. "They must have reached their base, and It's in the trees I would guess, excellent." thought Tishr as he landed his fighter on the edge of a small pond and reading his equipment while he waited in the twilight for the sun to fade, creeping though the few miles of forest as soon as the last streamers of light died.

"Sir we seem to have a follower, it appears our men couldn't get the job done." Said on of the men. Slayn was listening into the conversation the two men were having. If it was who he thought then Tishr would be in some trouble especially if they know his position. Slayn couldn't help to think how well organized these pirates were they defiantly were no ordinary everyday pirates.
'With a man like Cianan on there side these guy could be more dangerous then i thought. If only i could somehow let Tish now that they're on to him he'd have a better chance. Damn right now he's a sitting duck. What can i do?' he thought.
They grabbed him and exited the ship with Cianan close behind him. "There should be a delightful surprise waiting for your friend." Cainan began to laugh thinking about the giving situation. Cianan never really did play around not even when he and Slayn first met back on Nar Shaddaa. He grew up with Cianan as kids they'd play all types of games, before his mother died he stopped hanging out with Cianan. Slayn never really mentioned Cianan to anyone ever since.
They reached a small path that lead into a cave no doubt that this was well organized for pirates they even managed to get a secluded area just for him. Inside the depth of the cave was a wall that opened, inside were tons of combat droids and walls lights everything a base would need to be fully operational. After viewing all of this Slayn was no doubt impressed this would prove most difficult for Tishr to find him especially if he didn't notice the door in the cave how would anyone else notice? Also there was all the droids and guards around this would make it impossible for Tishr to save him. Slayn began to think of ways to post pone his inevitable death.
