A hunt through the shadows (open)

[Zarkan]

"I understand something of what you feel" Tishr thought watching as slayn climbed down the rear cargo bay ramp as tishr climbed out the cockpit. Tishr moved over the the unconscious slayn rolling him over and sitting next to him calmly moments before the Onderan medical personal arrived. Tishr motioned to them as the moved towards the fighter before telling them "Me and this one" Tapping Slayn "are the injured ones, could you contact Serrena Farlan and tell her her son found has some one who needs someplace to sleep"gesturing to Adara as he finished and was loaded in to one of the small repulsor-lift vehicles along with slayn falling asleep on the way there.

[Antonus]

Slayn awoke in the Iziz medical facility in nothing but his under garments. He looked around the dull room in search of his armor, but it was no where in sight. He had a splitting headache as if a freight train hit him. The nurse walked in with a tray in her and and placed it right beside him.

"How do we feel today Mr.Schneider?" she asked politely.

"Um, have you seen my armor?"

"OH Mr. Schneider you must get some rest!" she pushed him gently back onto the bed. Slayn rolled his eyes as he lay there staring at the ceiling.

[Zarkan]

Tishr awoke slowly to the harsh smells of a medical ward. Tishr set up looking around slowly catching the view of one of Iziz famous AD towers out of a window at the end of his room. Next to his bed lay a small tray with some kind of local goop made from fruits and a large glass of water. He took a slow drink of the water and spoonful of food before glancing at the clock and moving towards the hall. After a fairly short argument he managed to get one of the nurses to show him to slayn's room. Tishr knocked on the door still carrying his water.

[Antonus]

The nurse walked over to the door and opened it. "Mr. Schneider you have a visitor." Slayn looked up to see Tishr standing there with a glass of water in his hand. He sat up straight and got out of bed to greet Tishr.

"Hey, How are you?"

[Zarkan]

Tishr glanced around the small white room before stepping into the room and replying. "I'm mostly alright; still tired, sore, and a little hungry, but I'll live." Tishr took another sip from his water before addressing the nurse in the room. "Could you give us a few minutes in private there are a few business things me and him have to clear up." The nurse quickly nodded before walking out and shutting the door behind her with a loud click. "After we're discharged we'll have to go to my mother's to retrieve your friend, but she's safe there. Now, We still have business to discuss about this bounty of yours, I need more info if I'm going to track them."

[Antonus]

Slayn walked back over to his bed and sat back down. He grabbed his glass of water and chugged it until the glass was completely empty. "Would you? Well I'm not sure this would be a best time to speak of such things you never know if the walls have ears." he said pointing to a container in the corner. Slayn had watched a few strange looking men earlier place the object there. The men he saw while he was half asleep looked like pirates, but he couldn't be to sure.

Someone was looking for Slayn not only Cianan but another could it have been the person he's been tracking down all this time? "Tish meet me downstairs in the cafeteria in ten minutes." Slayn got up off the bed and walked out of the door he was going to search for his armor.

[Zarkan]

Tishr nodded to slayn as he spoke, tishr could under stand slayn's trepidation at speaking here though he himself did not feel it. Tishr watched slayn walk out of the room quickly looking down the hall at Slayn's back before grabbing a nearby nurse "My friend just walked down the hall that way, could you have someone go get him in a few minutes to take him to the storage locker." Finished tishr before walking two rooms up the hallway across from Slayn's rooms to the medic unit's storage lockers quickly retrieving his kit and moving down towards the mess area.

[Antonus]

Slayn made his way down the hallway passing a few doors that finally lead into a storage room of some type. He quickly scanned the area to find his armor, the room was very cluttered with tons of junk as if they never cleaned the place in years. Slayn spotted his armor on top of a shelf next to a crate. he reached up and grabbed it. He found his small blaster pistol in the armor side pocket.

He then made his way back out and down the hall a nurse stopped him and then asked. "Excuse me sir, but your friend asked me to escort you over to storage."

"Um..no I'm fine I just need to get down stairs." The nurse pointed to the hallway on the right and told him the elevator was to his left down that hallway. He quickly made his way down the hallway. The elevator door opened and some men in black came out.

"Ah there you are Slayn we've been looking all over for you."

Slayn ran in the opposite direction bumping into people along the way. 'Damn this never ends who else could possibly be looking for me?'

[Zarkan]

Tishr had been sitting for several minutes down in the mess waiting for slayn when he saw some men dressed in black walk quickly though. Tishr thought little of it until a squad of Onderan Militia jogged in and talked to one of the nurses before sprinting of in the direction of the hall the men took. Tishr stood up quickly and hurried up the stairs to collect slayn seeing as the last few hours tended to show commotion was slayn's calling card.

[Antonus]

'Who are these men and what do they want? It seems like everywhere I go there's someone trying to kill me.' Then Slayn came to the conclusion that there must have been some type of bounty on his head, but who? How Ironic it was a bounty hunter having a bounty on his head. Slayn ran back into the storage room and locked the door behind him.

He rushed over to his armor and began to put it on 'Damn it's only a matter of time'When he was done putting on his armor he grabbed his rifle and walked back out into the hallway. One man came from his side and with lightning quick reflexes he hit the man in the bridge of his nose with the back of his rifle sending him back, and to the ground.

As soon as the first shot went off everyone in the medical center began to run and scream. This was a good break for him he knew that those men wouldn't fire on him in a crowd of people. Then again he was wearing armor so he would me massively easy to spot.

Slayn made his way behind the information desk, the a huge explosion went off as the wall to his right came down. It was getting worse by the second how much could the bounty on his head could be worth? He glanced over at a computer monitor with his information on it.

It said:

Name: Slayn Schneider

Age: 26

Height: 6'1''

Weight: 180

Birth place: Nar Shadaa

Profession: Bounty Hunter

Wanted: 100,000,000 Reward, wanted dead.

'Damn who in the world would have that kind of money that would want me dead.' Slayn's mind went completely blank he couldn't think of anyone at the moment. There also was no explanation about the crime he committed if he committed a crime.

A shoot out broke out across the room floor it seems not only bounty hunters were after him the Onderon Militia was after him too. This was going to be tough but if he got out alive it definitely be his greatest escape.

Onderon militia men moved on Slayn's position. He fired off a few rounds but missed at his targets.

"There he is men get him!" shouted on of the militia men.

[Zarkan]

Tishr stepped around a corner barley dodging a blaster bolt as he sprinted to a low wall and ducked behind it quickly looking out to see slayn being fired on by the militia. Tishr was more than a little stunned he didn't, hadn't thought slayn was a criminal, but he knew soldiers of Onderan weren't in the habit of randomly shooting civilians. "I'm getting to the bottom of this, if he's a criminal I'll collect it.[/color]" I thought to himself before crashing his way though the Onderans and hoping over the low Medical reception desk next to slayn "Come on there's an exit over there you go first you have the armor for it." he said pointing to a small hallway headed to an emergency door.

[Antonus]

As the fighting became a war zone within the hospital Slayn could make his escape. Then Tishr came to his side, Slayn was sure glad to see what seemed like the only friend he had at the time. Tishr pointed at an emergency exit not to far from there position. Slayn got up and dashed of the small hallway making his way down the hall quickly to the emergency exit. The bounty hunters and Militia took a while to realize that he was escaping.

[Zarkan]

Tishr quickly followed slayn out side the building and down the emergency escape ladder quickly taking lead from slayn and leading him down a long series of twisting and turning alleys around and around until he was certain that any tag along they had where throughly lost before ducking into an alley to the left and then immediately to the left and ducking behind a trash collector hoping slayn would assume he took the 2nd right turn at the end of the alley as he pulled his rifle out and waited for slayn to move past the alley. "I hope I'm wrong." he thought to himself as he settled his breathing down and listened to the load foot falls of slayn's boots.

[Antonus]

Slayn made his way down the emergency exit into the street. Tishr turned into and alley way and as Slayn made the same turn Tishr seemed to have disappeared. He continued to run down the alleyway looking behind him making sure no one was following him. He came to a point where there where two possible ways to go, but he didn't know which way Tishr went so he walked over to the left. 'Damn I hope no one saw me go this way. How the hell am I going to get out of this mess?'he thought while he continued to walk.

[Zarkan]

Tishr quickly peaked out of the side alley and watched slayn walk into the left alley before silently creeping down the alley and resting against the wall next to the corner of the turn. Tishr hesitated for a moment before swinging out and standing up dropping the yellow-gold piper of his scope on the back of slayn's head. "Stop, drop your rifle, and turn around slowly, any hasty moves and I will shoot you." he ordered calmly and coldly before adding "I have questions and your going to answer them if you want to leave these alleys alive."

[Antonus]

'Not Tishr too he must of found out about the bounty, so he lied to me after all.' He thought. Slayn dropped his rifle to the ground and raised his arms hi in the air. He figured it was all over at this point Tishr was probably going to kill him and collect that huge bounty. "You know Tish I never thought I'd be seeing you point that rifle at me." he said in a non enthusiastic tone.

Slayn respected Tishr enough not to make any hasty moves, but if it were anybody else he would have already tried something. To get away makes you look guilty even if your falsely accused. Slayn continued to ponder on the fact that someone wanted him dead but why. He began to play every event over back in his life, and suddenly he remembered who it was.

Martyr a man he had met along time ago back on Kashyyyk, he was a mandalorian who Slayn thought he had left for dead. Martyr was the same man who killed his beloved fiancee years ago. Martyr was also the only man who had that kind of money he knew of. Slayn wasn't sure if Tishr would believe him if he told him.

[Zarkan]

Tishr Stayed calm, but he was a bit surprised that slayn had complied so easily. "I'm going to get to the point, I've collected bounties on many assassin's that weren't as high as yours, I want to know why, Who, and for how long you've had that bounty." he said before tensing up again "and don't do anything funny, I can drop you before you can think."

[Antonus]

Slayn let of a large sigh before answering Tishr's question. "You know Tish you deduction skills must not be so well. Let's back track shall we. If I remember correctly anybody at anytime can place a bounty on someone if they have the right about of credits. Now when I first landed on Onderon the militia in the docking bay gave me a bounty check and found no results. Then we both went to Dxun there I was captured by Cianan and his men. Afterwards I have a bounty on my head don't you believe all this is a little coincidence."

Slayn placed his hands behind his back and began to pace back and forth knowing Tishr wouldn't shoot him for pacing. "And the only reason why Cianan would want to capture me was to take me to Martyr a long forgotten foe of mine." He said with much anger in his tone. "If you must know Martyr killed my mother with a man named Demetri and then Martyr killed my Fiancee." Slayn hung his head after making that statement.

"I miss them, they were the only things that meant to me." in a sad tone he sat on the ground. "So if you don't believe me shoot me here and now end my misery."

[Zarkan]

Tishr slowly lowered his rifle before speaking "I've never seen any bases on Dxun that weren't Mandalorian or Onderan, I've never seen Onderan Militia ever in my three years in it or my twenty living on this planet fire one a criminal with out trying to talk them down after all this, I have little reason not to believe you." He said slowly before looping the shoulder strap over his shoulder "I have one question left who was this Martyr, and how do We find him?"

[Antonus]

Slayn stood up with a spring in his step joyous to know his friend didn't betray him after all. "Listen Tish we won't be able to do this alone Martyr is a powerful man. So finding out were he is shouldn't be to hard, also I believe if we did find him we couldn't just storm in the place and take him down. We're definitely going to need back up. All my friends are dead, but maybe if we can find other bounty hunters who will join our cause, but then again they might just be greedy and try and kill me. Do you know anyone?"
