Ruhmer stepped off of the shuttle onto the hard metal floor of the landing
pad. He turned and looked at Doma.
"Remember, make sure to let me know if you find anything, I'll do the
same."
Doma nodded "Make sure to come back safe."
"Hmph, what do you take me for?." Ruhmer gave a small, very rare smile, and
walked off to the sound of the shuttle leaving behind him.
Ruhmer walked into the hustle and bustle of Coruscant. The reason he had
not sent Doma here was because it would be crawling with Jedi. Their temple
was situated here and if Doma were discovered he would stand no chance. It
was a difficult job keeping your identity as a Sith concealed here. If a
Jedi were about they would spot you a mile off. It was true that the Jedi
order had discovered Ruhmer on several occasions, but none of them had ever
made it back to the council to report his existence.
Ruhmer strolled through the crowd, ignoring peddlers beggars and muggers
that tried to delay him. He had a few contacts in this area of Coruscant,
and he was headed to one in particular. He entered a shabby shop that
people seemed to be avoiding.
"Be with ya'n a sec!" A deep voice called from another room, followed by
muffled voices and the occasional crash.
A large man waddled into view. He wore glasses, which seemed to be newly
broken, and his hair was filled with easily visible soot. He took one look
at Ruhmer and a panic-stricken look of fear crossed his plump face. He
darted (or moved quickly as it is very difficult for a man of this size to
dart) towards the door. He almost got out when the door slid shut almost
magically.
"No where to run to Tzah," boomed Ruhmer, lowering his hand.
"Wh-whaddayawan'? leeme alone! I ain' dun nuthin!" Tzah frantically waddled
around the room looking for some means of escape. The doors were locked and
there were no windows.
"Just came for a little talk Tzah, after all, we are friends, right?."
Ruhmer had an evil look on his face, not the normal evil look he had, but
one that said he was really enjoying the fear Tzah was feeling.
"Friends!?, 'sat whatcha callit? Geddout Mr high-'n'-mighty Sith!," Tzah
drew a blaster pistol from under his counter and pointed it square at
Ruhmer, "D-don mek-me kill ya."
Ruhmer tilted his head in a sort of pitiful way. He held his hand high and
shot a bolt of lightning from his fingertips. It flew forward and connected
with Tzah's blaster, destroying it.
"Oh no, please don't shoot me," Ruhmer sounded sarcastic "Don't be
difficult with me Tzah, I've come for a favour. You remember your friend?
The one who deals in Dangerous creatures?"
"I ain' sayin nuthin! I'm not getting' 'im 'n trouble!" Tzah backed away
into the wall
"I thought as much," Ruhmer felt Tzah's force energy flowing, and tried
hard to read Tzahs mind. Being quite weak minded it was very easy. ".Lan,
Lan Duy. You gave him away to me Tzah, shame on you. I'll be leaving now."
Ruhmer wheeled round and blew the door off it's hinges. He walked boldly
out of the door and into the streets. As he strode away a sound greeted him
from behind.
"Can' lecha go after 'im Ruhmer!" Tzah was stood in his doorway pointing a
rocket launcher at Ruhmers back. He had a look of manic fear in his eyes.
"Die!"
He launched a rocket at ruhmer, who still had not turned around. It
streaked towards Ruhmer. To an onlooker it would have been inevitable to
stop it, but Ruhmer span around and pushed it away quickly. It ricocheted
off into a building.
Ruhmer was angry. He charged towards Tzah, drawing his lightsabre as he
ran. Ruhmer sped at him, ignoring the look of blatant disbelief on Tzah's
face and cleanly chopped off his arm, other hand, and his head in a neat
combination.
Tzah's head rolled off down a sloping platform. Rhumer had wanted to do
that for a long time, he had never much liked Tzah, but he had never had a
good enough reason to kill him. It was then that Ruhmer realised he had
blown his cover, everyone was looking at him. He quickly deactivated his
sabre and ran off into a crowd.
After a long dash to find a safe place, Ruhmer eventually settled in an
alley. Two Rodians exchanging something that looked very illegal already
occupied the alley, and had both looked up to stare at the new stranger.
Ruhmer looked up panting.
"Leave now." Ruhmer snarled at them. The Rodians looked at each other,
muttered something in a tongue unfamiliar to Ruhmer, and walked towards
Ruhmer.
He was not in the mood. Ruhmer used the force to grip one of them and held
him high.
"I said, Leave."
The second Rodian didn't dare stay, and ran off into the night, leaving his
friend's corpse hanging in midair. Ruhmer let it drop and sat on the floor.
He knew there would be a Jedi after him, after his display in public view
and all.
