Athena turned her ever so chilling gaze upon her comrade from the order.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Malice Dont just talk about what you are going to do! Do it! Kill them... Trust me this Jedi wont Move towards you in your blood bath. <!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Athena looked down upon Kahn...

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Simple child... You are not my Key... He is my Key!<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Athena sent a Force message to Gash.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> ~~~Gash Dear... Malice is going to go a little sithish here. If this Jedi moves towards my comrade in arms I shall kill him.~~~<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Slowly Athena moved her hand down to her light whip. Her favorite weapon. She carried on her many weapons one the force the others normal objects. She only had her whip and blaster on her but her skills in hand to hand and force fighting were top of the line.

Kahn looked right back at her, unflinchingly.

"You're not the only one with gifts, you know. Nice light whip, by the way. I may have been a child before, going down the wrong path, but that is no longer who I am. I apologize, but if you try to take my life, I won't hand it over to you easily."

He disliked being between these two Sith, but the situation couldn't be helped at the moment. He knew Athena was the real threat at the moment, sensing she was more willing to strike out than Malice was. Malice liked to talk and taunt, while she looked like the type who attacked first and asked questions later.

Gash had no physical vantage point on the intensifying situation in the bar, but had a fair idea of the process of events as they transpired through the Force. Kahn was in far over his head... and given this unknown third Sith, he might be, as well.

The Jedi Master responded in the Force to Athena.

If you kill him, I may kill you. Ask Malice; he's lucky to be alive. Not much of a 'guard', if you ask me.

Athena smirked... She had been talking to Gash via the force and looking at the little Jedi.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Kahn If I WANT your life I will TAKE it from you. You dont know who you are dealing with in me...<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

With a slight smile now on her face she spoke once more to Gash Via the Force.


<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> ~~~Gash Dear you think I trust this Fool with my LIFE? A man i know no more then his name? And as you know you brought me back from the dead..once.. Im not easily put there! ~~~<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Kahn knew Athena was speaking to someone else through the Force, but he didn't know who. However, at the moment he was more concerned with what was going on in the cantina.

"No, I do not underestimate you, m'lady. I've seen Sith work before, both from the inside and watching them from the outside. The Dark Side can be a powerful ally, if you want to become its slave. I'm not as weak as you believe me to be."

Athena smiled once at the boy...

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> I dont think anyone is weak.. Just under trained... Oh and so you know Im talking to the Jedi Master Gash Jiren <!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

He was surprised, but not overly so. Gash must have been the other one he had felt through the Force...though it seemed he wasn't within the cantina.

"Really? Nice guy, Gash. What business would you have talking to him?"

Silently, Kahn sent a message to Gash via the Force.

Hey, any information on Athena I should know about?

Athena nodded ...

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Gash and I talk as we wish. He and I were council memebers together once...When he was a man of good taste.. Someone Dear to me... Dont get me wrong I still love Gash as a person I just wish his dream of being good would end! <!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Kahn was surprised. So she didn't follow the normal Sith belief that any "traitor" should be killed.....at least, that was the experience he had had several times.

"It's no longer just a dream to him, he's carrying it out now. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but don't Sith normally have, to put it lightly, sore feelings with those who leave them?"

Gash shook his head silently. The two of them seemed to be taking each other two lightly- given the civilian setting, that was probably a bad combination. The Jedi Master silently shot back messages to both of them, wondering silently what the Force intuition keeping him from going into the bar had in it's pseudo-mind...

Kahn, be careful. Do not take Athena lightly, or the other Sith; there are powerful dark forces afoot, and I fear we are both in over our heads. Avoid conflict at all costs, my friend. Try to hold out as long as possible.

He turned his attention to Athena's Force signature.

I don't think you've ever trusted anyone with your life. Excepting, perhaps, myself and Diete. Why are you here, Athena?
