OOC: Closed to Syndell Draclau.

IC:

Dusk was just beginning to fall, and beings of all sorts hurried to make their way home. A slight breeze made the leaves rustle, keeping the air from becoming too still. Beings of the night, city scum and scoundrels began to move out into the open. Shadows began lengthened as the sun's rays receded.

A couple walked through a public park, arms linked together. The two lovebirds passed out of the park, coming near a dark alleyway. All sorts of creatures could hide in that sort of place, deep in the shadows. And the couple was so caught up in each other that it would have been easy to take advantage of them.

However, fortunately for the man and woman, the being who hid in the shadows was not interested in them or their money. Leave that to the petty thieves and pick-pockets. No, this huntress was out for more than a few credits. She held the air of a predator of some sort searching for prey. Watching carefully any beings that passed by, Fiona was alert to any movement near her. Other riff-raff stayed away, sensing the hostility of the bounty huntress. She was on a hunt.

A few days after having been employed by Malice Draclau, Fiona was now prepared to focus her attention entirely on the job at hand. Her orders were to watch the prey and gather data, submitting this to her employer. Then she was to terminate the subject, if possible. If not, she was to inform Malice and let him do the job. With two blasters, a special dart-shooting rifle, a few thermal detonators, two throwing knives, a few other tricks up her sleeve, Fiona waited patiently for the target to reveal her location. That target was Syndell Draclau, Malice's sister.

The newest jedi padawan in the academy decided to do a little patrolling. She wanted to take a walk out in the town, Which she had doenf requently, though on another planet. With new ideals and goals she would not be out to kill tonight. Instead she was out to protect, protect those she used to think were inferior to her and the rest of the force users. But now wit the teachings of the jedi, she found that to be wrong.


The jedi walked ino the park, where most of the killing and stealing usually took place at night. Syndell noticed a couple walking around and decided to follow them.

(Now why would they want to walk around here at night. They should've been home already, its not safe)

She continued to follow them while thinking to herself. She stopped once they had entereda dark alleyway. Reaching out with the forceshe sensed the area, she could feel people in there, and something as strange with one of them. Walking in after the couple had left, Syndell looked around.


"Excuse me, is there anyone here. I can sense your evil intensions and i must warn you, i do not want trouble. I jst ask that you go back to where ever you came from as the people here are not looking for trouble either"


Syndell kept her hands by her two purple lightsabers. They were always at ready if she needed them. Her training within the lightside may have been little, but she knew enough to where she could draw on it and use it if need be.

OOC:Sorry bout the late reply. Haven been on much. i got sick a few days ago.

OOC: It's fine, hope you're feeling better.

IC:

Fiona had felt a small ripple in the Force when Syndell reached out with the Light Side. So, Malice's suspicion had been correct. His sister had joined the Jedi. Well, this could put some complications into the huntress's plan.

Using the limited Force skills that she had been gifted with, the bounty huntress was able to take a quick assessment of her prey. She was pleased to find that the strength of the Light Side in the Jedi didn't seem to be very threatening. Most likely the woman had just begun her training. All the better for Fiona.

The command to 'go back to where you came from' was not one Fiona even thought about obeying. No, it was time to put her acting skills to use. Stepping out of the shadows, the huntress looked Syndell directly in the eye, speaking in a soft tone laced with a bit of superficial fear.


"I don't want any trouble, ma'am. Not from a Jedi I sure don't. Just trying to make a living, don't mind me. I'll be on my way now, if you'll just step aside."

Most of the extra weapons Fiona carried were concealed by her clothing, and besides, most beings were armed these days, criminal or not. Going on her way would, of course, me doubling back to track Syndell. Not that the Jedi needed to know this.

Syndell looked at the woman and then smiled.

"Do not worry miss. You have nothing to fear from me. A slong as you do not bad here no harm shall come to you"

Syndel slowly turned around and began walking away. She called out to the woman behind her.

"I believe i am out of your way now. Have a nice night and remember, do not cause harm to anyone"

Syndell went on with her duty, though something about that woman lead her to distrust. Through the force that woman felt like she was laced with bad intentions.

The huntress grinned inwardly, although her facial expression remained the same. Hook, line, and sinker. Syndell must have been new to the Jedi ways, as Fiona knew from experience that Light Siders tended to sense one's intentions.

Without saying another word to her prey, the bounty huntress walked out of the alleyway as well and turned in the opposite direction, walking about a block away before turning into another alley. She waited a few minutes before walking back out. Locating the retreating figure of Syndell, Fiona stealthily began to follow her prey in the night.

Syndell continued her rounds, finishing up in the park she decided to walk the city streets around the bars. There were usually violent people there. The jedi padawan kept an eye out for strange chaacter's. Though through the force she could sense something, it was as if someone was following her.

Turning she looked around. Noone was in sight. Shrugging her shoulder's she began walking again.

"Geez, being on the good side is kinda scary. I mean when i was a sith, i walked around without a care in the world, well maybe except to have fun. But now....."

She looked around her once more.

"Now i feel like everyones watching me. No matter, i am a jedi now and jedi's have no emotions. must remember my training"

Syndell took a deep breath and continued to walk. She hummed a song to herself as she went about her duties. Though that feeing of being watched still hunted her.

Fiona's adrenaline pumped through her, fueled by the sense of being on the hunt. This was why she was a hunter, this was why she had chosen this way of life. Noticing how Syndell was beginning to show the signs of sensing someone following her, the huntress slowed her pace and made sure to be extra cautious. She couldn't afford to loose sight of her goal now. Although, normally, she would have merely killed the Jedi and been done with the whole thing, Malice's orders were to gather information first. So that was exactly what Fiona would do, follow her victim and watch her from afar.

Syndell found herself getting bored and decided to go inside the bar. Walking in she was looking for a place to sit when all of a sudden she felt a big hand grab her butt.


?????: Well hey there missy, why don't you come sit down by me and i'll show you a good time.

Anger quickly flared inside her. True it had been hard for her to supress the darkside that had once raged within. But she did her best to calm herself and within seconds she was back to normal. Stepping forward she turned and looked at the man. Waving her hand infront of him she said a few words.

"That was not nice, you will apologize"

The man looked at her puzzled at first but for some reason he was doing exactly what Syndell was telling him.

?????: That wasnt nice of me. Please forgive me miss.

Syndell sighed and looked at him, waving her hand once again.

" You are forgiven. You will now leave and think about how to better yourself"

The man turned towards the door and began walking out. Slowly muttering to himself.

?????: I must go now and think how to better myself.

Turning forwards again Syndell shook her head while taking a seat at the counter.

"Could i have an ale please"

Syndell still had an angery feeling deep down. She wanted to cut that mans head off. But she knew that she must learn to rid herself of such thoughts unless she wanted to be with the darkside once again.

OOC: Sorry but i had to think of how to continue this. I am sort of having writer's block.

OOC: It's fine, go with the flow. :)

IC:

The huntress's eyes followed her prey as Syndell entered the bar. Waiting a few minutes, Fiona silently moved to a dirty window. From here, she could watch her bounty without being seen. Even if the Jedi did happen to glance at the window, she wouldn't be able to distinguish whose face it was.

Watching without emotion, Fiona saw the scene with the man, and felt the unmistakable shadow that the Dark Side caused fall for a second. But it was only a second, if even that. Then the Padawan had herself back under control, and the man went on his way.

So, her employer's sister still hadn't entirely conquered the reflexes that had been born of Sith training yet. That was definately something to tell Malice. The bounty huntress continued to observe Syndell, waiting to see what would occur next.

Time just seemed to fly by as the jedi padawan was on her third ale. Standing she laid down a few credits.

"What am i doing here, there is nothing going on. I'm just wasting my time"


As she made her way to the door, a noise of shattering glass was heard in the background. Turning she saw a wookiee and two other aliens she couldn't make out square off. Looking more closely it seemed the two aliens had oneof their friends laying on the ground bloodied, possibly caused by the wookiee. As they began yelling at each other in their own language, Syndell unclipped her saber and ran towards the fight.


She managed to step in between the three of them, her saber still not ignited. One of the aliens pulled out a blaster and held it aimed at Syndell.


"Now hold on, put that blaster away and leave. You do not want to do this"

She said calmly waving her hand infront of him. Though for some reason the mind trick did not work, and in a split second her purple saber was ignited just as a blaster bolt came screaming at her. She managed to deflect it and made a slash, destroying the blaster. As the second alien went for his, Syndell ignited her sacond purple saber and held it to his neck. She glanced behind her and spoke to the wookiee.

" There is no need for violence here now leave"


She spoke with a rather stern tone. She then looked forward at the two aliens. Her glare was menacing and not pleasent. The darksider started rising once again, and his time she could not stop it.


"You creatures are luckly i don't strike you down in the name of peace. Now get out of here and never come back"


As the creatures left, Syndell bolted out of the bar and ran into a nearby alley. The darkside pulsated throughout her whole body and for the first time it actually scared her. Within a second a black sphere enveloped her body. Screaming could be heared within as she began he transformation. When the sphere dissipated, a 8 ft green demon was all that could be seen. Her eyes went from a dark purple to a bright yellow. Her skin was as hard as armor, and her teeth and neails were long and dagger sharp. Wings and a long green tail also was present.


Growling friously she looked at herself. She was not as big nor as strong as her brother in his demon form, but she was still dangerous. When Syndell realized the darkside had taken control she went crazy. The demon rushed the alley wall punching a huge hole in it. Her roaring and screaming alerted all within ear shot. Her anger rised beyond it's peak, she was mad at herself for not being in control of the darkisde. Syndell kept on with her rampage, crushing boxes, and putting holes in the walls. There was not telling just how long this would take her.


OOC: Good lord what a very unstable woman. Ohh and Fiona, i need you to e-mail me i have to tell you some new turns for this rp. my e-mail is tristancouch@cs.com please i need to hear from you A.S.A.P
