Lents felt a surge of triumph at seeing the chevin jump like that, then immediately regretted it. Feelings like that were dangerous. But then the chevin regained his composure, surprisingly quickly, seeing as Lents clearly held the upper hand.
"My name is Lents Ythxul Terria, and you'd do best not to forget it. Now to whom do I speak that would try to steal my ship?"

Hurrikaine had been discussing his structure for a long time with the mechanic at the enclave and they had come to a strange solution. The mechanic had explained to him that there was no easy way to reconstruct his new arms to work for light saber combat. So with the new solution in mind Hurrikaine had laid down and let his mind rest outside the droid while his body was changed. Once he regained his head inside his new body he got up and told the mechanic.
"So I'm a double lefty? That works for me."
He had decided that the best way for him to work again is to gain a 3rd arm, one with the ability to handle a saber and by simply moving his former right arm to the left side of his body was the best way to do so. Once he was sure everything was in order he paid and ran off through the enclave looking for someone in particular.

Hurrikaine began to run when he had found the person he was looking for but he soon noticed how Lents was in some form of confrontation. He looked at the creature that stood before Lents. It seemed to be of some threat despite its looks. He readied his saber and ran up to Lents saying.
"I was coming here to ask you a favor Lents but it seems like we can't get too long without some action around here."
He readied his saber and took his stance, he felt his new arm on his side moving. Not in unison but surprising enough he was able to control it freely the first time he had attempted to use his 3 arms for different actions. He turned on his saber and said.
"I won't interfere without your word, give the word and whatever this is will be as good as dead."

Lents, eh?
Odottaa kept his composure, but was inwardly confused. He was looking for someone named Eth. Was it possible that this kid was a bounty hunter also? He had many questions, but like all good smugglers, he kept a perfect sabaac face and didn't reveal anything to him. He let his gaurd waver a little bit when he saw the droid appear. Now he was starting to panic. A droid like that could cause trouble. especially one with a lightsaber and an extra arm. He had only two options now. Be captured and tarnish his reputation, or somehow escape. If that kid was controlling the lightsaber behind him, then maybe he could break his concentration with scare tactics. He aimed his bowcaster dirrectly at the kid.
"Alright. Put the lightsaber away, and tell your droid friend to back off, or you lose your head. either one of you move, and i pull the trigger. If that lightsaber touches me, I also pull the trigger, and you can't block my shot with your lightsaber on the other side of me, and even if you could, a blast from a gun this powerful might just break all the bones in your arm."

"Okay," Lents slowly lifted his hands, palms out. "Let me just bring it back..." He made a pulling gesture with his right hand and the lightsaber, still activated, floated around Odottaa, coming out from behind his back. Lents began to bring it back towards him, but as it hovered adjacent to the outstretched bowcaster, Lents dove and rolled back, taking cover behind the nose of the 'Rush while simultaneously flicking his hand so the lightsaber would similarly swing and cut the bowcaster in half.

The force spiked in Odottaa allowing him to withdraw his vibroblade in time to block the saber. He had tried to destroy his bowcaster, which meant that all bets were off. This bowcaster was much too important to him, so he parried the saber to one side while unleashing a torrent of blaster fire on the ship.

The bolts dug into the armor plating of the 'Rush and Lents winced as his ship took the damage without shielding. He simultaneously smasmed as he felt his comlink vibrate with a new message. He'd read it later, but he flicked the power to off so that it wouldn't give him away. But first he needed to do something about the chevin pounding on the side of his vessel. He deactivated the lightsaber, and through the distant reach, brought it with the force closer to him, but inside the ship itself. It eventually flew into the cockpit, where Lents made it run into the control panel, around where the deflector shield activator was. He hit the metal of the panel a few times before striking true, and the shields flickered on. Lents, not realizing he was leaning against the nose, was battered back by the particle repellant and flew across the floor, landing on his back. He shook his head and got up, runing towards the door where the Chevin was, to see what happened to him and also to keep him from doing any more damage.

Hurrikaine was able to see what was going on he decided to cause a little bit of a distraction. He began to run forward at the Chevin but noticed something strange. He was running but now using his 3rd arm to give him more control as he leaped forward trying to frontally assault the Chevin. He jumped at the creature attempting a jab with his upper left hand then a hook with the lower followed by a downward stab with his saber at the creature's legs. He hoped it would be a good enough distraction to allow Lents to do the rest if he wasn't able to subdue the Chevin.

The chevin was knocked to the ground by the particle shields. Before he could get up, he was pinned by the droid with a lightsaber. Finally, he realized that he had no hope of completing his mission. His only option was to find this "Eth Erzin" and hope to be released early. If not, at least he would be able to lead Tarino to a jedi enclave on coruscant. Someone as resourceful as her could find some use out of it, and maybe release him.

Lents saw the chevin had submitted and said "I think you'd best get going." He looked at his comlink which beeped for a second time, and quickly scanned his new message from Skeang. "Looks like it's time to go," he said to himself, then turned back to the chevin, I got places to be. See you later. Hurrikaine, you wanna come? I'm gonna go to the imperial palace for a true trial."

What?! That's it? Your just going to leave me here?! If you are going to do that, you might as well kill me! This fight destroyed my entire reputation! How am I supposed to find work now! I couldn't even find some over zealous bounty hunter that has never even done any real work!
Odottaa had his hands pinned, but only had to press slightly on his cloak to manually transmit his location to tarino. Maybe she could pick up the location and use it some how. He continued his rant as a distraction while doing it.
You say your going to the temple. Do you even have a plan or anything? You're just going to frolic in, kill a dark jedi, and frolic back out, take the five minutes to warm up you engines, and then have clearance granted for you as you wait in line to exit the planetary shields, then just make a jump to lightspeed and escape? I don't think so. Coruscant is a lot smarter than that. If youre going to do something like that, i suggest you hire me. You need a smugglers expertise to escape this planet. The best part is, i have a ship on the other side of this planet, very close to temple, with a full smuggling package on it. You can escape on my ship, and then have someone bring you yours, or just come back for it when things cool down.

Hurrikaine held his place holding down the creature but turned his head to Lents saying "Well I was planning to ask to go with you anyway but I must say this guy has a point. I'm no good at math but the calculator in my arm tells me there's about a 1 in 50 chance of us escaping without some help for this."

Lents stood with his arms crossed, thinking. "What makes you think we can trust you after you just tried to steal my ship and kill me? How do I know you're not working for the Sith yourself? If you're honest, then maybe your help would be appreciated, but as it stands you're in no position to make deals or threats."

That's where you are wrong. I am in a perfect position to make deals. I have something you don't have, namely experience, and you have me in a position to do whatever you wanted with me. Isn't that the basis of most deals? Also, I can prove I'm not working with the sith. Quite simply, I am force sensitive. Now I don't know a whole lot about the force, and I don't care to learn either, but If I was working with the sith, they have at least trained me before sending me on a mission like the one you think I'm on?

Well, he is right... Lents thought to himself, but how will I know that he won't try to stab my back in revenge? "Even if you weren't working with the Sith, he said out loud, "I still don't see why you wouldn't kill me if you had the opportunity."

"Because I am a business man. You being dead won't solve anything for me, except maybe cash in on the small bounty, but I am NOT a bounty hunter, I don't work like that. And besides that, this way you can keep an eye on me, give more time to your friends to get out of here before i potentially reveal this location and/or people in the sith temple.

Lents raised an eyebrow. "This is just a garage. I'm a Jedi on Coruscant but there probably aren't any others here. We're not so stupid as to put one of our enclaves right on the imperial homeworld. But I do understand what you're saying. Even if you're slightly misgiven, I don't fear you." Lents was walking a dangerous slope. In a sense, he did fear this chevin, because the chevin knew where to find him. Did the chevin really know of the enclave? This chevin was indeed someone to be feared, but he couldn't let fear rule his emotions. The best thing to do would be to act as if he had no fear, but that could lead to rash decisions. Better to err on the side of caution, but caution was rooted in fear. He needed to be in a perfect balance, and hoped that he had found it.

I highly doubt you are alone here. You got lucky that your friend showed up. He didnt expect me here, and he most likely saw you in a fight and just decided to help. Odds are, there are more of you nearby. and besides, this area just radiates hopeless idealism. So hurry up and answer me, are you going to use my help, or just let me go?

"Fine." Lents used the force to lift his lightsaber, which was still inside the cockpit, and bump it against the control panel until it his the switch for the shields. Once they were down, he motioned. "Get in. There's some sitting room to the right." He turned to Hurrikaine. "If you want you can copilot or sit in the passenger room. She can fly either way." Lents then walked up the ramp and made his way to the cockpit where he slid into the pilot's seat. He activated the engines and reveled in the sound of them whirring as they warmed up.

Hurrikaine scrambled in without a word grabbing himself a seat as the machine started up. He waited for a half minute before asking to turn on the air conditioners. He then readied himself for the fight he had been training for oh so very long.
