Esculated crime and gange violence let to an out break of the Gang Wars on Taris upperlevel. Now the jedi Council decided to act. They sent a Team of jedi knights to investigate the reason for the sudden incress in violence. Chris was on of the first to venture out into the underlevel. He ans another Jedi knight were speeding on a turbo lift twards their destination.
[glow=blue,2,300]What do you think we will find down there? Do you think meer gangs could move the hand of the jedi Council?[/glow]
Chric replied with a sharp nodd The future is ahrd to forsee. I can not tell you for sure but I believe the council fears involvement from the sith. The Darkside has attacked our tempels before and not I believe they think they are attacking it more subtely. .
His companion, [glow=blue,2,300]never-the-less we should be carefull. The crime lords will most liekly not want to end this war. This could get very dangerous for us.[/glow]
Yes. There is no odute. Stay quiet we are close to our stop.
No later had he said this than muffeled blaster fire could be heard. With a nearly silent woosh, the door of the turbolift opened. Two lightsabers blazed to life as the small room of the lift filled with blaster fire.
Perfect timeing... me muttered
Chris dove adn rolled from the lift. his emerald blade blazeing, blocking fire from the two ganges. With a blure of moment Chris threw off his robes. In his lighter tunis he leped into teh air cutting off teh muzzels of blasters and deflecting other bolts. A gang member charged him with a sun batton. Chris streched out with the Force and ripped the stun baton from the mand hands and Chris sliced it in two. The air sizzled with smoke and electronic blots in a matter of muinets. Soon the ganges began to flee at the sight of the jedi but some still put up a fight.
Sweat stung in his eyes as another group of thre Gomeroen warriors came at him. He pushed one down with the Force and others he cut of their hands that were holding their weapons. Some fell crying out in pain but others kept attacking after being disarmed. Chris twirled from an attacker and struck it in the stomace, but not killing it. At that sight the rest of the pig folk flead.
Chris wiped the sweat from his brow and survied the scene. many had died but none of them to Lightsabers. The jeid did not believe in killing but some had fell to blaster fire.
((Anyone who wants to get in on this, feel free to post))

The newly healed Taik Sagoon viewed Taris from one of it's many turbo-lifts; the sun set shone brightly on Taik's face, his arms rested folded across his chest. He had been sent to investigate the mysterious events taking place in the surburbian areas of Taris. Mostly gangs some citizens with arms, Taik could only guess who had started this: The exchange. The plunging elevator the him into the dark streets of Taris, the dimness saddned him. The very sun had been shining on his skin for a mere second and now he peered into the dimly lit pavements that circled Taris........ and smelt smoke just round the door, which slided to the right upon reaching the ground level. The room had been littered by the corpses of dead gang members, who had obviously tried to attack the jedi who stood in front of him. Their blades were withdrawn as Taik paced out and stopped in front of them.
[glow=Purple,2,300]I suppose you're the other jedi search team, which has been sent down here. My name is Taik Sagoon, nice to meet you[/glow]
Taik extended his hand to the human jedi.

((OOC: Was that alright for a post /\ /\ . Im new to this style of RPing so if you would like, you could point things out that could be better
His blade disappeared in a hiss and Chris took the extenede hand. He nodded his head in respect
Well met, Taik Sagoon. I am Chris Crane. I am new to the Jedi Order and am on a mission to come to a peace settlement in the undercity. I asume you are here for the same reason.
He looked arround the room again seeing teh smokeing bodies.
Sorry for the mess, we ran into a few of our new friends... How do you think we should handel this?

Taik peered around the room. Bodies lay scattered everywhere, their guns lay broken on the ground, their barrels puffed smoke and their uneccesarily spilt blood escaped into the guttes due to Chris' harsh defensive hits. Taik searched their bodies for any clues that could aid them in their conquest to discover the dark figure behind the attacks. Taik stopped and kneeled next to knocked-out rodian, his blaster was gently gripped in his hand; Taik reached out slowly with caution, his fingers moved over his body to his hand. He carefully touched the butt of the gun and hastily gripped it in his hand, throwing it out of the way. Taik checked the rodian's pulse, his two fingers layed softly on his green neck. Suddenly his pulse started up again, his eyes opened to find a Jedi hanging over him, he lashed with his hands. Taik dodged the Rodian's flaying arms and gripped them by the wrist, his hands tightened around them as he haulted the fray. Taik touched him through the force, his calmness radiated into his mind and reassured him that he would be fine. Taik's words flowed to him neutrally.
[glow=Purple,2,300]Tell me, who do you work for?[/glow]
The Rodian's muscles relaxed as so did his mind. Finally the Rodian came out with the truth.
I..... I work for the boss of the Exchange.....
Taik expression didn't change the slightest, he knew that the boss of the exchange wasn't behind this; he could feel the Rodian's thoughts as clearly as the wind.
[glow=Purple,2,300]Who's your boss working for? [/glow]
A face of fear crept upon him creating an unpassable barrier. Taik didn't want to petrify him, he wasn't like that, instead he would find a way around it.
[glow=Purple,2,300]Where can we find your boss?[/glow]
The Rodian utterly tried to turn away and escape into the street;Taik's hands locked him to the floor. The Rodian shook his head viciously, he couldn't reveal their location otherwise they would have his head before nightfall.
[glow=Purple,2,300]Please, your aid can save many lives[/glow]
His mind wouldn't let him speak, he was scared and he couldn't. There was a long silence. Taik came to realise that there was no way that he would spill the location. Taik looked at Chris and the others, he nodded to them; he turned to the rodian and released his grip. The rodian pounced up and scrambled out of the building and into the streets. Taik stood up and watched his figure disappear into the bustling crowds; he pivoted to the others and looked at Chris.
[glow=Purple,2,300]Well, we better start searching[/glow]

We should check the local Cantina or bar. There we will most likely find the information about the Exchange boss on Taris...
He looked arround the room again at the death. The thought that if he were only minunits earlier, he could have prevented this. he could have stoped the death here. It sent a chill down his spine like the wisper of the darkside telling him that he wasnt good enough but it he could take the Force by his own will, he would have been there in time. Chris closed his mind. He would have to accept the facts and the hear ache before it could pass. When his mind cleared he looked at Taik.
Or we could follow the Rodian and see where he leads us. Though he may be to frightened to lead us to the Boss. But we could search his houseing for any records or holo-files that might point up in the right direction.

Taik pondered on the plan of action, finally he came to a conclusion. If they were to follow the Rodian then they would most likely alert the gangs by chasing one of them down the street. However, busting into the Rodian´s appartement would be to forceful, not to mention that they would have to find it first. The only option left was to search in local bars and cantinas until they found a lead that could connect to the boss' information; unfortunately this would also take a large amount of time aswell. Taik turned to Chris, he had been obviously waiting for a reply for quite some while.
[glow=Purple,2,300]We should move softly amongst the crowds, try and keep a low profile. We'll all split up and search every cantina, if we find anything then we can contact each other by com-link, good luck[/glow]
Taik nodded and slipped into the flowing crowds heading straight towards the first cantina that came into sight, while the others dispersed into different directions.

Chris nods
May the Force be with you...
Then Chris slips off into the crowd and uses his training to blend in with the people. He heads off in the opposite direction of the fellow Jedi. The Jeid who had been with him also walked off to investigate cantinas.
Chris entered the first bar. He sat at a table and ordered a drink. Again he called on his training and Looked Withoug Looking and scanned the crowd in the bar. He summoned the Force and focused out all other sound but individual conversations trying to pick up something that might be useful

Taik slipped in silently amongst the cheerful chatter and dark discussions, the bar droid wheeled about hurridely to numerous tables tightly clenching a shiny platter and serving the customers with large amounts of shots. Taik looked about, his hood hung calmly over his focused expression as he sat down beside the door so that he could survey the newcomers. The bar droid scooted over.
How can I serve you?
Taik hastily ordered a common drink and leaned back into the shadows, he didn't wish to attract to much attention and be forced to ignite his lightsabre in a bloody brawl. The droid returned with all speed capable and lowered his glass onto the table in front of him, Taik nodded.
[glow=Purple,2,300]Thank you. Tell me, do you every serve any gangsters who have some kind of connection with the Exchange?[/glow]
The droid responded by searching around the room for any gangster type person that it could indentify. The droid swirved back.
I'm afraid I can't help you, you could possibly ask around for some information, sir
Taik thanked the droid and sipped his drink as the droid tended to other customers. Taik felt the crowd's suspision about his identity, they could tell by his robes that he was a jedi, although this wasn't the least of his problems as the bar droid wheeled behind the bar, bent down and whipped a blaster rifle, spitting red fire everywhere. Taik senses caught the action early and urged him to pounce out of the way. He grabbed the table and threw it onto it's side, the circular table gave him cover from the red hot rain that poured down towards him. The bolts bounded off as the innocent crowd scattered outside leaving behind the gangsters and the bar/assassin droid. The lasers burnt out on the table's surface as a greater flame ignited from Taik's silver handel. The lasers retreated as he deflected them back to their creators, gangsters fell as he whirled his blade about his head slicing limbs and guns into two. A niktonian stood his ground and spat hate at him as his gun charged heavy bolts towards him. Taik's blade protected him as he span on the spot like a whirlwind, he lunged upwards towards the nikto spun freely in the air and slammed his boot into the nikto's face. His gun, now released tumbled into his hands as he fired at a opposing enemy.
A few minutes later the gangsters lay sprawled on the floor, most wounded the rest dead due to their actions. The bar droid switched weapons as it blasted a proton charge at him, his blade moved with all justice as it once again deflected the powerful bolt into bar's roof. The droid was crushed as it crumbled on top of him. Taik withdrew his blade and hooked it back on his belt as he sighed at the unnecesary deaths and the amount of unlearnt information that could have been used.

Marvcus and Ricky walked into a little known Cantinia named The Slug. They had heard about the gang wars but were bored to tears by waiting for Jokann to finish. Both entered and went to a Sabaac table and began to play.
Marvcus was doing well, but things just didnt seem right on this planet anymore. As they had walked down the alarms were blaring in the Temple and the gang wars down here, he knew something was up.
But they forgot about it since it was none of thier business anyways. they continued to play into the night and the next morning rack up lots of creds and wins to thier name. When somone walked in that just looked like he was up to no good and watched as a few people ran out the back as he entered.
They thought to themselves that this guy looked and felt like a Jedi on a mission. But he and ricky just continued to play and drink some. waiting for that comlink call to come.

Chris continued on. To another person he seemed as if he were just another being trying to make his way in the galixy but to one witha connection with the Force, they could see him as an em[ty shell used only by the Force at moments. To some with stronger connections they would sence that this man was not afrede to call on what others might call the darkside, but Chris did not embrace it, he let it flow through him goving him power.
In this instance he was just trying to pick up on conversation that might lead to teh Exchange. He heard the word spoken but just out of fear. Chris didnt think there was anyone with relations to the Exchange, soon he might have to go to another bar.

Marvcus leans back to Ricky and whispers so only he can hear.
Hey, i think i know what is going on now. THe exchange has started most of this. Ya know i wonder if its not a battle between the Exchange and the Black Sun wanting to get back in power again all over. So watch my back there is probably going to trouble soon since these jedi dont like to disguise themselves
Ricky walked off and out the main door of the cantina. To walk around the back side and enter in a rear door. He checked his blaster power levels and made sure his vibroblade was primed and reay also. He walked back in and took up a seat in the corner facing the cantina.
Marvcus continued to watch the room and play his Sabaac skillfully, and winning his fair share still.

Taik rumudged amongst the shrapnel and sinew, trying to find the assassin droid, maybe he could still give him information surrounding the Exchange's activities. He clenched a large metal brick and tossed aside with his burly arm. He glared at the crushed face of the assassin droid who peered back at him, his glowing orange eyes started to dim as his wires fizzed and sparked within his neck. Taik could feel that he wouldn't last long, therefore he would need as much information as he could get in a limited amount of time.
[glow=Purple,2,300]You must tell me where your boss is, otherwise alot of people will be killed, please[/glow]
The droid's head twisted and jerked as oil poured out of his mouth, his systems started to break as so did his life. Before his systems completely terminated, he started to mummur something.
He.........i..is....in..his....appartement....above.....The....slu...g
The droid's speaker box burst into flames as he utterly shut down. Taik lowered the droid's head into the rubbel and stood up; he reached for his com-link. He would need to regroup with Chris in the cantina called The slug, he pressed the speaker button as he clearly spoke into the device.
[glow=Purple,2,300]Chris, what's your location?[/glow]

As the day went on Marvcus noticed alot more people entering the Cantina. Most of them looking like they were professionals. All carrying mulitple weapons and several trying to conceal them.
What Marvcus was having trouble with, were they after him for cleaning out so many opponents? Or did he somehow stumble into the middle of soemthing again.
At times this bloody life was going to get to him, he looked aorund the room in no particualr order, checking placements of people, and making sure Ricky was indeed covering his back.
The scum of the planet seemed to be drawn here now. As he looked over at Ricky he saw a person come out of a hidden door that lead upstairs. Ohhh no, this is the headquarters for someone powerful or its a meeting place. Looking back aorund he paid more close attention to the actual people, all Exchange thugs.
With a deep sigh he looked at his blaster charge and seeing it was full, he went back to playing.
Why can't i ever find someplace quiet to play cards!

Chris headed twards the back while reaching for his commlink. He activated the audio feed and answered.
I'm at a cantina called... the Slug, I think. There are a few... Characters here who look high profile Exchange members. Heavily armed. Things may get hot down here real soon.
He turned back watching some of the new patrons.
I think this may be the location we may be looking for. Do you have the location of this cantina?

Ricky in the back of the Cantina seeing the same things his partner did checked both his blasters charges. He set about looking around making out a few characters and seeing Marvcus make brief eye contact he knew too trouble was brewing.
Marvcus began to think about leavign when he heard a small silent conversation in the back of the room.
The assassin droid is destroyed and it told the Jedi where to find the boss. we need to leave now and cut our losses. Go get her.
with that the one tall man left the main area and headed to the hidden door. a waitor dropped a whole tray of dishes and glasses on the other side of the cantina and he snuck in as the comotion got started.
Great another Jedi coming here and this one in back now. I need to hang out in better class places.

Chris was following one man with his eyes but thin he was destracted by the waitor. When he turned back, the man was gone...
Great...
Chris' hands reached into his robes and placed a hand on his blade hilt, then he removed his robes and hooked them on a rack. He could tell this was going ot get intence and he wanted full range of motion in his Jeid Tunis

Taik put his com-link back in his robes. He surveyed the scene for anyone else who might of survived the fray, the room was filled only with death stricked corpses, Taik wished that he could have avoided fighting but it wasn't so. Taik turned to the door as he dashed out into the street knocking people out of the way, his senses had homed in on the presence of the Exchange and their future actions, once again the jedi would have to fight. He saw many faces: some suspicious, some greedy and evil, many were just neutral. The pace and the flow of the street had slowed him down due to the mass of people that inhabited the Taris streets, never had he ever seen this much density in a city, this was truely the heart of the jedi and he would have to protect from it's darker parts.
Finally Taik arrived at the cantina where he found Chris in the corner, all was tranquille with laughter and music like always, Taik exhaled the stress from his body that had corrupted his haste to arrive. Taik stopped his approach to Chris and moved further away, they mustn't attract to much attention to themselves, otherwise they would be spotted under seconds. Taik felt the presence of the Exchange utterly close, it was almost as if they were encirlcing him at that very moment, he switched his gaze into a focused look upon the fuss that was quieltly being created outside some type of corner door, he moved his eyes over to Chris and spoke clearly to his mind through the force.
[glow=Purple,2,300]Follow my lead, they're meeting behind the Cantina, that door move towards it as i do[/glow]
Taik approached the door which was flanked by two body guards: A wookiee with dark brown hair and a Gran, the wookie was equipped with a bowcaster and the gran with a vibro-ax, both stood erect in front of Taik and Chris. Taik rose up and spoke to them.
[glow=Purple,2,300]I need to see your boss[/glow]
The wookiee howled at Taik with such anger that the bar turned and viewed the discussion, some gripped their blasters under their garments and from their holsters. Taik retried his proposal with a slight bit of aid from the force.
[glow=Purple,2,300]You will show me to your boss, now[/glow]
The wookiee slanted his head to the gran and nodded, his bowcaster dropped from it's defensive level and hung from his hand on his side. The gran whipped out his card key and swiped the check, the doors swiflty moved aside as they walked in, the customers went back to their drinks as the music covered the event. They were lead along a grimey steel hallway filled with more gangsters playing cards and discussing amongst the shadows, most of them haulted their activities at the sight of the visitorsm, the hall was extremely silent. The group entered a turbo lift and elevated themselves up to the boss' office. The clear doors opened as the Quarren they had been searching for came into sight, they haulted in front of him as the Quarren stood from his desk and viewed the guards with unforgivable glares. He spoke in his mother tongue which both Chris and Taik could not quite understand until a protocol droid paced in.
My lord explains how he is angered by the two guards who have led you here but is sure that they've been manipulated by your jedi powers. My lord also says that he believes you to be very brave walking into his office unacommpanied.
The two jedi stood in front of the Quarren silent and expressionless as Taik began to speak.
[glow=Purple,2,300]The jedi council has sent us to investigate on the certain riots that have been breaking out in the streets, mostly by your men. The council has demanded the capture of the culprit who started these brawls and broke the peace of Taris, to be brought in front of them for interrigation, please do not make it harder then it has to be[/glow]
The droid spoke to his boss. The Quarren sat back in his chair and relaxed in front of the situation as he pushed a button on the office's controls, a group of gangsters entered the brightly lit room with all manner of weapons ready to slay them. Taik pivoted his head at the guards with their blasters and vibro blades then back to the Quarren.
[glow=Purple,2,300]You've denied my proposal and responded with force, We don't wish to fight but we shall defend our lives[/glow]
Taik spat his lightsaber to life as he the guards rushed at him with their vibro blades swinging, Chris did the same as they fought for their lives.

Marvcus saw another man enter the cantina and head straight for the known Jedi in the back of the cantina.
Dang, these Jedi don’t believe in subtlety do they? No sneaking or even trying to get the information the easy way.
Going back to playing sabaac at his table and knowing soon trouble would be here. They had posted two guards at the rear of the cantina to make it seem like the boss was out back.
The wookie SCREAMED loud, and nearly everyone turned to look, but Marvcus was looking right at the two men across the cantina who stared down the Jedi. Then he saw four others who were spread all over the cantina. All four of them had put their hands to the weapons. He was sure there was more but everyone was going back to normal.
As the commotion died down the 6 men moved to the door and drew their weapons. Blasters, vibroblades, sonic weapons, and stun weapons, Thinking it must be a trap up there for the Jedi. Looking back at Ricky and he nodded his agreement that something was very amiss.
A few minutes after the first ones went into the back area, there was another group of men who headed there as well.
With this Ricky got up from his booth and was swaying back and forth in a drunken state. He bumped into Marvcus hard and spilled his cards all over the table. Marvcus stood up and pushed him hard back.
What in the name of hyperspace are you doing you drunken space slug?
HEYYYYYYY DUDDDDDDDDE, I…. I…… I ……
Ricky began to draw his blaster slowly as a drunk would. Marvcus dove at him and slamming into another table knocking it over. And a BRAWL was begun in the cantina.
As the brawl started Marvcus and Ricky made sure to throw the table into the hidden door way and block it from opening out as it should. Then they made sure to push several people into the thugs trying to get into the back area, and the mayhem really began.
Blaster began to fire from those thugs but with all the punches and kicks being thrown they never hit anyone. Instead they were on the ground in a fist fight giving the Jedi more time up above in the fake office, or the office with a hidden exit.
Within the blaster fire, Marvcus and Ricky blasted the table and the hidden door melding the two together and making it impossible to open anymore.
With the task done to the best of their ability they walked out the front door and headed down the street laughing and padding each other on the back.
Where should we eat since our meal got intruptuted back there?
The Taris security Force was running and arriving at the Cantina as they turned quickly into the next restaurant called Correllia

Taik's blade falshed and twirled inside the office deflecting bolts that pounded towards him straight on. Chris covered his back and scorched the guards with his red hot blade which worked solidly to keep them off. Taik rebounded a bolt which struck the gangster in the face, he turned to an oncoming opponent and swung hard towards his legs severing them by the knee, the gangster screamed in pain and fell to the floor, his blaster spitting bolts into all directions, some hit random gangsters that entered. Three enemys drew towards Taik with all haste and anger, vibro blades cutting the air, he used force push to knock them out of the window which shattered as they fell into the crowds below.
Eventually the fight had finished and Taik, Chris and the Quarren were left in the office, all alone. Taik moved over to the blaster stricken Quarren who in a puddle of blood upon the floor, his head twitched to the side in horror as he surveyed the deaths, his head moved back as his eyes shut before Taik could speak or learn any information. Taik sighed as once again they had lost a great deal of information about the brawls, he looked to Chris and stood up, as he did so he glared over his shoulder as another group entered, they circled them and pointed their blasters at them, a woman grimaced at Taik who's faced eyes stayed tranquille and unrevealing to his foe, they were trapped.
