For some reason Saber asking if Jack was reliable caught Xeones off gaurd. He stumbled in his mind the answer to the question was something only he could understand. Saber had not been there when they had seen that kid die. All Xeones could manage though was "Starbuck is reliable." If Saber had trust Xeones enough to go to the destroyer with hm, then he was just going to have to trust his judgement too. Xeones knew that this wouldn't sit well with Saber, but it didn't matter, there was a mission at hand. "Saber, theres something I didn't tell you, it slipped my mind." Because of lessons learned from the first rebellion, the empire has some knew protocal. If we are to get near that destroyer, you have to hail them first. Then, they are going to board your ship. If cleared, they will dock you into a special hanger. Once there they are going to confiscate the ship, and escort you to a communications officer. If they like your buisness then they won't shoot you. However what I am trying to get at is... You will never see your ship again. Thats if We can even get to Starbuck interview him and then leave. They will escor you to a shuttle that goes to courasant. theyll claim that your ship violeted codes and needed to be confiscated indefinatly."

"My ship was illigeally confiscated anyways. It doesnt matter," Maximus replied. "But, i wasnt exactly planning on following protocol to board the ship...." he trailed off, leaving Xeones room to speculate. Maximus didnt quite know whether or not he could trust Xeones. His head was telling him it was a mistake. But, something in his gut told him that it would all be alright in the end. Maybe it was time to listen. Maximus grabbed his spare rifle and two ammo clips and tossed them at Xeones. "You're going to need this."

Deep in thought, Xeones failed to see the ammo clips coming, they thumped against his chest and fell to the floor, scattering carbine rounds everywhere. The rifle came next but this time he caught it. Embarassed, Xeones just stared at the scattered ammo. "You know, I just thought I would reorganize your ammo for you, the loading pattern just didn't suit my taste.

Maximus did not have time to make jokes. He had a mission to complete. He was about to say something when his holopad beeped. It was still on the table where he'd left it earlier. He moved over to it and picked up the device. He pressed a button and it activated. The same cloaked figure appeared that had before given Maximus the task of killing the sith. "En taro Tassadar!, Saber. We have heard word of your failures of earlier this morn." "The sith has managed to escape, but I will find him, and I will kill him.' Maximus replied bluntly. "For your sake, I do hope so, master hunter. The emperor does not take lightly to such failure. He is paying you quite handsomely..." "Rest assured I will complete the job." "Very well. We shall hold you to your word hunter...." and with that, the pad clicked off. Maximus set the pad back on the table. He then went to his open armor vault and locked it down. We need to figure out how we're gonna get on that destroyer," he said to Xeones.

"...So why did I follow him again?" Ailurec thought to herself out loud. She sat fairly well hidden, towards the back of the dark ship. Her knee's were shoved to her chest and her chin sat on the top of them. She brushed a few long strans of hair behind her ears, and just sat quietly in the corner. She honestly was a bit clueless as to what she was, or is currently trying top accomplish. The wind outside was the only sound around her and the trees shook with it. A long sigh escaped herself. " It was only a lightsaber. Stupid punk broke it." Now Ailurec knew she was not always acting like how every jedi should, but she just couldn't help it at her age. Though that didn't always stop her elders from constantly telling her so. "Well maybe I could try to find a way home, or at least out of....wherever I am before this guy tries to kill me again." Standing to her full height, Ailurec turned towards the door and opened it with a creek. "Oh crud" She thought to herself. Walking out of the ship she noticed she wasn't exactly where she thought they would be. They were still in the jungle. NOT where she was hoping, or at least wanting to be. Not still here, stuck in this place. Slowly and quietly Ailurec made it out of the ship and quickly put her back to one of the walls on the buildings. Her hands went across the sides of the walls, feeling for any vents or some way to look or listen to whats going on inside. No luck so far. She was growing agrivated without any source of air or such things, and was about to give up when she heard a not so comforting noise. After taking an extra two steps the board under her gave a loud creak and then a heart wrenching SNAP. The weight gave out from under her as she reached out for the side of the flooring before she would fall 100 ft to her death.

Maximus couldnt help but smile at Xeo's question. "Actually, that's along the lines of what I was thinking...." Maximus stopped speaking. On his HUD, a red blip had appeared on his motion sensor. It moved slowly, and was only ten meters away, directly in front of Maximus behind Xeo. Someone was here at his hut. Maximus held his armored finger to his mouth, telling Xeo to be quite. He unslung his rifle and turned around to the one and only door to the hut. As he reached to punch the open button, he heard the sound of wood breaking outside, followed by a loud scream. Maximus punched the button, shouldered his rifle and stepped out the door. Maximus slowly walked around the hut, his rifle ready to fire should he be attacked. As he rounded the corner, he chanced upon an unexpected sight. The wood in front of him had broken, and a hand still gripped the floor through the hole. He walked up to the hole, barrel first, and peered over the edge. "Kriff! What the hell are you doing here?" he asked.

Xeones shouldered his rifle as soon as Saber started to open the door. When Saber went outside Xeones noticed that he relaxed. Xeones became calm again and realized that it was the thing he sensed that was with them. How could he have forgotten? He peered outside to see Saber standing in front of a hole, he could make out a small hand holding on to the wood. Xeones burst into a fit of laughter, the scene was just plain funny.

Ailurec shut her mouth, refusing to curse. She just glanced up with her eyes only at the figure above her. He seemed menacing, but once again for some reason she didn't feel bothered by the man. He even looked somewhere around her age. Tossing the thought out of her mind she tried to swing her arm up to grab the board, but couldn't muster up the strength. Her arm that was holding her up hurt. Alot. She much have dislocated it from grabbing onto the side so hard. She hopped it wasn't that bad. Truth be told she didn't actually even grab the floor she fell through. She must have grabbed one below it. Which is the one the men now stood on. She wasn't too busy looking around as much as keeping her face calm while the pain shot through her arm. " What do you mean why am I here?! WHat kind of question is that! You broke my lightsaber, and then ditched our fight like some little girl!" She yelled up at him cringing a bit from the strain on her arm. She may not have had the wisest comeback when it came to fights, but Ailurec did make up for it in spunk. She was about to say something again when she noticed that her arm was bleeding. Did she hit her arm on the side of the broken wood boards? She couldn't get a good look of it, but it hurt and blood was dripping down her side a bit. How far did she even fall?

"I'm not helping you up. Let go. If you survive, then go away. If you die, well then I wont have to track you down and kill you later." What the hell was wrong with this jedi?

Ailurec baired her teeth a bit. She wasn't going to let this guy know she was in much pain. "I'm not leaving till you give me a new lightsaber. Or you at least give me a fair fight." She called up to him

If he fought her he knew it wouldn't be fair. "Im not giving you a new lightsaber. I dont know how or where to get one, and I dont have time. Besides, you got in my way. As far as I'm concerned," he said, "you can just stay there."

"FINE THEN! JERK!" She yelled up at him. She'd get up herself. Even if that ment she had to drop down to some branches below to catch them. She looked to her arm, finally getting a better view of it. A long gash was down the side of her arm, which was where the blood was coming from. She cursed to herself and inhaled. Using her strength and willpower she pulled up, trying to get her good arm to reach. But the pain was too much and she dropped back, her arm tugging. "urg." Ailurec bit her lip.

"I'll pay you." She said going against her own pride. "Will that work you greedy son of a murglak?" Yea her Master; rest in piece, would be beating the snot out of her if he heard her talking like this. "I need to get off this planet. Somewhere else. I don't belong here, so would you let me go with you for a bit if I made it worth your wile?" She staired at him angrily

"No you cant go with me. And I dont need your money." Maximus looked back to Xeo, who was laughing his ass off. "Huh..........alright. Fine. If I help you, will you go away?"

She smirked, well tried to at least with how much pain she was in. "Sure, yes. I'll go." She said quickly. If not she couldn't hold on much longer. "But be carefull, I'm not sure how your going to get me up. my closest arm is the hurt one, if you pull that one up you might hurt it worse." She cringed.

Maximus grit his teeth. This was ridiculous. Maximus got down on his stomach and reached for the girl. "Give me your good arm."

Ailurec frowned. "Woah there cowboy. How can I know that your not going to drop me to kill me and get rid of me huh?" She glared at him.

"Xeones thought it odd that Saber would trust yet another stranger. Oh well there must be a reason somewhere deep down in that dudes head," Thouht Xeones.

"Ok then fine. You either hang there in extreme pain, then drop to your death when you tire out, or you trust me and risk me letting you fall to your death. Either way, you would die. But maybe I wont drop you." Maximus stretched his gauntlet a little further. "It's your choice."
