Duke and his partner smiled as they pulled into the hideout and surveyed the spectacle around them. Within the centre was a rather attractive pureblood woman bound and unable to move and to the side was Kirp's former partner eating in the sand as the men around him laughed and jeered at him. How good this day was turning out, first they get to kill a sith, and now they get to watch another one killed.

Duke dismounted his speeder as next to him his partner Renny moved over to where the boss was standing shouting and spluttering in the siths face as she seemed to laugh at every word he said which in turn only infuriated the gang leader more.

Renny hesitantly tapped his raging boss on the shoulder. Kirp rounded on the human, Renny immediately held up the credits causing Kirp's eyes to brighten instantly. The leader took the creds and tilted his head asking the unspoken question.

Renny smiled "Dead boss, the womp rats are probably already sucking the marrow from his bones." Kirp laughed out loud as he patted Renny on the back.

"My boy you're going places." Renny grinned. Duke behind Renny stood quietly as his faced darkened at the praise heaped on Renny.

Hazor looked nervously around her as the numerous thugs gathered around her now jeering her as two twi-leks circled around her and poured speeder fuel over her. Kirp finished conversing with his lackeys and moved over to the bound sith an evil grin seemingly permanently plastered on his face.

"You can stop looking around now sith; you're little rescue man, dead. The rats are chewing him as we speak. Two sith in one day, maybe I should find another and go for three." Kirp held the credits out for Hazor to view as if to say, 'I killed him and stole his money, be afraid!' Hazor shook her head at the Devaronian's feeble attempt to unsettle her.

"Don't you get you scum, not every sith is the same, not all are brute force killers and masters of destruction, some are cunning master tacticians." Her words fell on deaf ears as it seemed Kirp still hadn't finished gloating.

"Your sabre will be the first of many trophies to hang from my belt." Kirp patted his belt, further attempting to rubb salt in Hazor's wounds. "Even if what you say is true it seems that this sith clearly wasn't a planner otherwise you wouldn't be about to die." Kirp kissed his hand and laid it on Hazor's cheek. Any semblance of calm from the bound sith evaporated instantly, a snarl appeared on her face and she glared directly at the grinning crime lord as he walked away.

"You still don't get it do you, you pathetic thug? Only when your own men returned did we know where you were, not even imperial intelligence knew you were here." Kirp had stopped listening to the sith as he had been counting his credits and had discovered a beeping device attached to the back of one of the credits. His eyes almost popped out of his head as he spun around ready to shout orders to his men, when a massive speeder burst through the sand dunes behind his men.

"Let's go hunter!" Avern shouted as he jumped out of the van-like speeder igniting his lightsaber mid-air. Rargus hopped out of the opposite side of the speeder his blaster pistol primed and ready.

Avern sprinted towards Kirp's partner lying in the boiling sand, the guards around him started and in complete disarray as the skilled sith cut them down with single sabre strokes and threw one on a course to crash into another two men behind him. Avern hauled the semi-dazed partner out of the sand and began shoving him towards the speeder van, with a lot of screaming, shouting and blaster fire going on around him it took Hazor's lover a few moments to get the idea to head towards the speeder.

He then turned his attention to Hazor who was attempting to hop towards Avern as he blocked bolts being fired all around him. "Avy you made it!" Hazor laughed. Avern didn't hesitate and picked up an empty plasti-cylindar beside him and placed it firmly on the bound sith lord "What the force are you doing?" Hazor shouted her voice echoing inside the empty drum. Avern kicked the drum over and with a nudge from the force pushed the cylinder and the trapped sith inside rolling down the dune. The words Avern could make out were being shouted over and over as Hazor rolled down the sand dune, the kindest of which were "I HATE YOU!" With his job done Avern ran back to the speeder as the exchange thugs began to form a sort of resistance and began shooting with renewed vigour.

Once Avern had sprinted to the partner, Rargus had begun his own assault, going after the man in charge. Kirp could see the well-equipped bounty hunter moving towards him and began shouting at the men closest to him to attack Rargus. The bounty hunter did not even bother with shooting these imbeciles but merely ducked under their futile attempts to hit him and returned the favour with punches that could dint a shuttles plating. Rargus only ever fired his pistol at thugs who had gathered enough brain power to start shooting at the intruders, these brain powered shooters did not enjoy their increase in intelligence for too long as there was usually a blaster bolt entering their body.

Rargus at last reached Kirp the leader having no where to go and no weapon on him at all he merely lashed out with a punch at the cybrog, to his credit the punch did connect with the bounty hunters face and caused Rargus' face to tighten but Rargus returned the favour with a jet-pack powered punched that sent the gang leader immediately unconscious and sprawling in the sand, Rargus wasn't one to leave a job unfinished and twirled his blaster to face the unconscious leader when a bolt missed his head by inches angrily Rargus realised he was out of time with a last look at Kirp he reached down and grabbed the lone lightsaber attached to his belt, and then very reluctantly Rargus began to back-pedal towards his speeder shooting shots at any idiot who tried to shoot at him.

Avern entered the speeder as Rargus came in the other side leaning out and shooting at everyone shooting at his baby. "Hunter get us out of here I'll cover you!" Avern moved to the back of the speeder as Rargus jumped at the controls and turned the speeder a sharp 180 degrees so that now the rear of the speeder was facing the trigger-happy thugs. Now freed from the hammering fire of the intimidating cyborg, criminals began to run up to the speeder determined to stop it from escaping.

It was of course at this moment that Avern threw open the rear doors and began shooting a large cone of lightning at the very surprised looking exchange men standing within easy range of the lightning's reaching tentacles, the smell of charred flesh soon filled the air. Avern kept his fingertips outstretched and the lightning pouring out as the speeder began to move in the opposite direction, as a final blow Avern threw a single bolt towards the ill-placed speeders and their fuel right beside them. Anyone within eight metres was dead anyone in 13 metres was thrown backwards heavily and anyone within 25 metres was now writhing in the sand and clutching their ears as the sound of silence now filled them. Avern, Rargus and the partner were safely cruising away from the devastated encampment.

In a completely un-mapped and unknown part of the dune sea there was a single plasti-cylynder rolling down the dunes. If any person stood close enough they might be able to make out the sounds of a woman yelping in pain as she rolled over the never ending dunes.

Rargus pulled his speeder up alongside the cylinder that came to stop on the side of the speeder. Avern grinned as he got out of the speeder and moved to Hazor still trapped within the cylinder, but oddly enough all noise within had ceased. Avern pulled the sith lord out of the container and grinned down at the completely dis-orientated Hazor. She was too weak to mutter anything other than "By the emperor I hate you Avern." After which she proceeded to heave her bowels all over the sand.
