COURASCANT : THIRD LEVEL : 0500 HOURS
"what the hell is that?" a merc asked as he walked up. next to him was a trandoshian. "Jeenoki. makballkat." It said. signaling to The strange creature in front of them. the merc nodded.
"right. get him to a science lab, andwe'll be rich." the merc walked up to the strange creature. Clidark opened his eyes. his mask only had one active vision. heat sensing. he looked up and saw two people. and one of them was reaching for his mask when he looked up. "Its alive!" the closer of the two said as he jumped back. Clidark rose to his feet. his claws shot out form his gauntlets. He made a series of clicks, which were very intimidating. "Klirickchath! Klirickchath!" the trandosian opened fire with its imperial heavy rifle. clidark rolled to the side and cloaked. "Where the hell did it go!?" the mercenary asked a she looked around nervously. Clidark hid behind a crate and brought up his plasma caster. 'Chokisma?" the trandosian pointed to the mercs chest. "what the?"
the plasma caster went off, and the shot ripped straight through the merc. he fell in two pieces to the ground. the tranadosian fired his weapons concussion blast. the blast went off near clidark. Clidark came over the crate and jumped at the trnadosian! He was beihn dhim in an instant. he grabbed the creature by the back of its neck, and slashed up through with his claw, taking the head off. He dropped the body and looked around. He was in a massive city. he clicked and removed the spines of his prey. he put them away as trophy's. he turned one corpses over and recognized the badge. he had caught a glimpse of it on the hologram of that man who had destroyed his ship. He came up ad tried to engage in communications with his clan. no response. He snarled. he then noticed a data pad on one of them.
He held the data pad up and clicked as it displayed a report from a star destroyer.
it read.: Excellent work. now we can get gear, and equipment from here to republic space at any point. things will be much smoother running. And with our new specimens, the war should be back in our favor. endar, we encountered a strange ship today. we badly damaged it before it retreated to blenjeal. w shot it down to the planets surface. i will send further reports.
"this must have been an important man..." clidark stood and followed there steps. he knew that if they were involved with what brought down his ship, he would enjoy hunting them. like the prey they were.
GANG TELARIOUS HIDEOUT : 1000 HOURS
guards patrolled the place it was a fairly large building with four story's. two weequays stood at the door. t was a boring job to say the least. and just outside the door was clidark. He peered around the edge. along with the two weequays, three human mercs walked by the door. clidark activated his cloak. the heat from the weequays body was weak. He snuck up behind one. his claws etended. "Chiko nago wung de?" one weequay turned to where He heard the sound of the cloaking device. Clidark lifted his claws and stabbed right through his chest. he moaned and fell to the ground. the other weequay charge dhis bow caster and fired. one shot glanced off of clidarks wrist gauntlet, de-activating his cloak. He aimed his plasma caster, and one quick shot from that took down the weequay. "WE HAVE AN INTRUDER!!" A merc shouted a she opened fire.
the shots hit clidark, but didnt do much damage. he charged and slashed through him, he then whirled and slashed through another merc with his wrist blades. blood flew form the wounds. blaster bolts flew towards him. he ducked and fired his plasma caster through the head of a rodian. he turned his attention on two more rodians who just fired beams of plasma at him. His other plasma caster came up, he aimed both, and took off both of there heads with one shot form each. there was no one else in here but alarms were blaring. he checked his cloaking device still working. he activated it and rushed for the elevator. Locked. With a quick flip open of his gauntlet, he managed to destroy the panel and get inside the lift. it went up one floor. he realised that the lifts were now restricted to one floor changes only. this one could go no furhter. he would have to take the stairs.
clidark ran up stair case after stair case, fighting his way constantly through criminals, thugs, druggies. always leaving those with no weapons alone. his honor code. After several minutes, he came to the final lift. he stepped in and pushed the button. the lift went up, and he changed to his cloaked form. his helmet was starting to have other visions. as he went up, he changed to another vision. which let him look through the walls. it separated the wall matter, making them transparent to the eyes. he saw a lone Man. dressed in a rather odd uniform. clidark extended his claws as the lift opened. the man turned. "ah, varlen. wha-" he stopped a she realised No one was there. "hello?" he asked. clidark came up infront of him. clidark suddenly uncloaked, and grabbed the mans throat.
with a triumphant roar, he reached through his stomach, his claws pushing aside disturbances, grabbed the mans spinal cord, and ripped it out through his chest! it was a very, very Gorey mess. He through the man to the ground. the badge that was on him had his name on it. endar. Clidark grabbed his data pad off of the table and read it. it displayed Blenjeals position in the galaxy. he know had a new objective. get to blenjeal, find his ship. and rescue what he could. he made a clicking noise as he looked down at endar again. he heard the lift coming! with his cloak on, he jumped out of the window. three mercs rushed in. armed with stouker concussion rifles, and imperial heavy repeaters. "Endar!?" One of them ran up to the mutilated corpse, then out the window. they heard a loud roar of triumph. "so there was a survivor of the crash?"
"it would seem." another one said.
"what do we do?" the third asked.
"... its only one. it cant be that big of a threat."
