“All information that is known I’ve already told you I am afraid.” Naosha replied. “If anyone knew anything more about the K’Satizitus it would be Rissonik.”

“If my mate here has told you about the spirit.” Rissonik said. “Then she has told you everything I would have told you.”

“We do know for sure though…” Varcanna said. “That it really was truly alive some time ago. Mother and I found it’s skeleton in a cave in the wilds not too long ago. Thus it is a spirit that does not wish to leave the realm of the living any time soon…and hasn’t for eons.” Varcanna leaned close to her mother and whispered in Clan Dialect. “Muthor…isn’t thut…”

“Net saro.” Naosha replied in kind. “If it is hors ho mast huvo hor rousons fer net boing apfrent with as en hor idontity.”

“Unless we want to confront the Bounty Hunters here.” Asri spoke up. “We should move to a more secure location. They may have more droids in the area.”

“Why should we follow your advice akisi?” Varcanna hissed.

“Her name is ‘Asri’ Varcanna.” Rissonik said forcefully. “Do well to refer to her by her name. It is my belief that fellow T’Doshok that were cursed with the white scale are just as much as innocent victims as the Wookiees have been in our culture. Thus our views of them need to change as well.”

“But…Uncle…”

“They wanted to be white as much as Trazu wanted to be short.” Rissonik hissed.

That struck a cord in the proud rust colored female and she hung her head in defeat. Her look toward Asri was still cold however. “You may have proven yourself to my Uncle, but not to me. Don’t expect me to trust you completely until then.” She said warningly.

“Fair enough.” Asri said with a shrug. “Now…are we going? Or are we going to make a stand here?”

The girl shook her head. "They're already here, waiting for us", she said and looked at the wall, as if she could see through it, even though she could it was just a gut feeling she had

She looked at her guardien who nodded, and back at Naosha. "First things First, lets take care of our uninvited guests, then perhaps we can think up of something", she said and made her way toward the door her hand gripping the hilt of a sword

Outside the council building

The female bounty hunter stood on top of a building, cluchering her sniper rifle and waiting for her target to come out

"You think she know's where here?", said the male hunter over his comm.

She chuckled. "it'll be fun if she did", she said. She gestured toward the other two hunters who where just outside the main door, nelt to the side's so that no one would even know they where there, not until it was to late

“Wait.” Asri said suddenly, putting her unarmed hand on the girls shoulder. “Let me go out first. Chances are they are waiting for us to exit through the main entrance. If I go out first I may be able to at least verify how many we are up against and their positions.“

“Puh, you just want to get out of here first to save your own hide.” Varcanna said with a sneer.

Asri ignored her. “We don’t know who they are after, but I do know that any parties that may be after me would want me alive.”

“Are you sure about that?” Naosha asked. “From the looks of things, there’s not many that would appreciate the sacrifice you are likely making.”

The white Trandoshan smiled weakly. “I’m an Akisi, a low life, scum, worth less then the dirt under one’s foot to many: who would miss me? Your mate has shown me kindness and respect I never thought I’d get from our people and for that I am forever in his debt, for it is something I have dreamed of for a long time. But as your daughter so pointingly reminds me, it will take a long time for old stereotypes and superstition to go away, time I may not have anyway to enjoy it. If my sacrifice helps to eliminate those stereotypes and superstitions so others like me can be free of them, then it would be worth it.”

The girl sighed and stared at Varcanna, her look could melt the hull armor right off a Death Star. "Gotta learn to trust someone, sometime", she said and looked at the Akisi. "If you want to go out first I have no objections... however, if they fire a round at you, I'd suggest you get back in. I'm guessing they'll be using an explosive round", she said then lowered her tone to a whisper. "they don't want the person alive, because they know they can't take them alive", she whispered to herself and unshealthed her blade

Varcanna scowled. "You don't understand what an Akisi is Lavality. They are demons...monsters not to be trusted."

"Varcanna!" Naosha growled. Varcanna slapped a hand over her mouth when she realized her slip.

"You know her?" Rissonik asked.

"Yes." Naosha said with a sigh. "We met on Tissuss, but we thought she her dead when we left. I didn't want to reveal her as I figured she had a good reason to conceal her identy and to let her reveal herself on her own terms. But miss hot head here..."

Varcanna shrank back under her mothers' glare.

"We can sort this later." Asri cut in. "There's bounty hunters to flush out." Rissonik noticed she now had both hands armed with a K'Zur. "Wish me luck."

Before another word could be said she ran out.

The girl looked away from Varcanna. How'd she know?, she thought to herself. After a few seconds, the Akisi ran out.

outside

The female bounty hunter was about to fire when she noticed it wasn't her target. "Hold", she said. A grin formed on her face when a new idea came to her, she loaded an explosive round into the chamber of her gun, waited, and aimed a few feet infront of her, then fired

The two other bounty hunter's who where in hiding waited, they knew the girl they where after would most likely come out when she heard the explosion and thats what they where counting on

Asri had seen the two hunters on either side of the door way, but was just making them think she didn't see them. Suddenly she completely reversed directions and with her K'Zur now exposed, charged the on the left side with a loud battle cry.

The explosion behind her only helped propel her into her target, one K'Zur penetrating his chest cleanly. Quickly she twisted around that the one she impaled was between her and his buddy, who's shots just helped finish off her victim. She pulled her weapon out of the now dead man's chest and threw him at his buddy. Then she ducked back into the building.

"There were three, two at the door, one on the roof across the way. Took out one of the ones at the door." She reported.

"Asri...you are on fire." Rissonik said.

"Huh?" Asri looked back and noticed her cloak was smoking, tiny flames seen here and there. Quickly she pulled it off and stamped it out. "Man...that was my favorite cloak too..."

Lavality stared blankly at the Akisi, not believing what she had scene, a second later she smiled. "So, the rumors are true then", she said and looked out the door

She smiled slightly and used her blade to figure out where the third person was, "Roof across the street, look's like she's using a weapon that requires at least 10 second's before firing once more", she grinned. "Enough time", she said and bolted out the door

A shot was heard, an explosion appeared. Lavality blurred through the blast, her cloak concealed her and protected her. She spun around and released her blade, which flew through the air and sliced the gun from barrel to hilt

Unfortunately, the female bounty hunter behind it saw it coming and backed away. She smiled and used her pack to land on the ground

"Lavality.....", the bounty hunter said

Lavality eye's narrowed. "Lucia", she said. "I thought you where dead...", Lavality said with an unsure tone

"Dead?", Lucia chuckled. "Like a child like you can kill me", she said and folded her arms. "You're escape from the medical asteroid stunned everyone"

"I was still there when you arrived, even before I found out what I was, you bounty hunters where still after me... was it because I was the daughter of the Sarendevis Fleet's commander? Or was it because of what I am?", Lavality said as she clutched her remaining blade

"Either way, there's a large bounty on you're head.. and I intend to collect it", The bounty hunter raised her right arm, which held a rocket launcher in it. "Besides, a child like you can't kill me... you're to small, to weak... and to blinded", she grinned evilly

"Your just like someone else I've seen", Lavality smiled.

The female stared at her. "That old fool? Pah, I'm better; at least I didn't blow myself up"

Lavality smiled. "You might be better, but thats why your here isn't it? To test you're strength out on one of us? Don't forget, I'm not designated as one, nor do I have any of there abilities", she grinned

"Then why do you have there weapon?", The bounty hunter said

"I have it, cause I made it, don't ask me how, just came naturally", she shrugged

The hunter smiled. "Came naturally? So, they haven't soot you out yet...", she said. "Good, mean's I can kill you more easily", she said and fired
