Coruscant Windup

[Ruthless Gravity]

[From Defiance and Lies Pt. II]

Dataraska was hanged upside still having the black canvas bag over his head, he felt apart as he was unarmed and chained like a wild beast. He had no shirt on and only a pair of pants was left on.

"To us, we must congratulate ourselves for a job well done on capturing our bounty." One spoke out. Feeling the ship exiting hyperspace, Dataraska flew several inches forward then came back to a stop.

"Ze buoss wold bea pleazed." A Trandoshian spoked second walking around Dataraska.

"Surely we would have our pay today gentleman." Came a ruthless bounty hunter by the name Xenerphar or 'Jupiter' who was known for is brutality on his victims and such brutality would last a life time.

The bag was unfolded from his head and the trando unmasked Dataraska's mouth. Then came a kick to the head by Jupiter's boot swinged which way Dataraska was forced to. Blood trickling from his mouth.

"You are a tough one Mr. Tace. It seems the best bounty hunters in the world could not get you, it just so happens by...luck! That we have captured you." Jupiter said, kneeling down to Dataraska's level.

"No kidding eh?" Dataraska replied, only to get wacked by another kick to the face.

"I do not like it when my target's have sarcasm. Makes me feel..." He was interupted by the ship's captain who happened to be Bothan.

"Less Intelligent." The bothan said wearing a Imperial insignia with a little bird in flames on it probably a modified insignia of their crew. He walked down towards the group slowly wiping his hands of grease.

"Exactly Manaz. Less Intelligent..." Jupiter thanked Manaz then walked around Dataraska.

"You are already less Intelligent as it is, probably due to all that spice you been using over the years." Dataraska chuckled. Then a blow from the back pushed him forward and a punch by the Bothan across the face with his claws made a series of four claw marks across Dataraska's face.

"Shut up fool, you dont know nothing about my life!" Jupiter lashed out back.

"Our boss so happens that he wants you to be out in space so he could enjoy a good dinner and a show from his yacht. Care to dance Tace?" Jupiter asked as he dragged Dataraska's hanged body by the rail and into the cargo airlock section of the ship.

"Id rather not today Jupiter." Dataraska replied.

"To bad!" Jupiter laughed as he left Dataraska in the airlock and the chamber closed on him.

From behind, he uncuffed himself and quickly try to unhook himself from the rail.

"2 minutes Dataraska, any last words?" Jupiter said over the intercomm.

"Yeah, go screw yourself." Dataraska replied.

"Hahaha, your gonna be doing the screwing yourself here soon Dataraska." Jupiter laughed even more as his voice faded from the intercomm.

Dataraska fell to the floor and then took the electric wire from the rail and cut it with the sharp edges of the cuff. He took the wire from the rail and came against the chamber entrance and opened the security box. He connected several wires onto the battery of the outbox and short circuited it. The chamber opened and Dataraska rolled underneath before the chamber closed up.

"So Long Mr. Tace." the airlocks opened only to spit out several pieces of metal.

"No no, Im right here." Dataraska replied as he punched Jupiter in the face real hard and then took his blaster pistol and shot the trandoshian who finally saw what had happened. The trando flew back and onto a table breaking it with his fall. He pulled Jupiter by his long hair and dragged him into the cockpit.

The Bothan suprised, turned the ship left making Dataraska fall along side with Jupiter, Manaz jumped from the chair and began to attack him without mercy. The ship in space began to head towards Coruscant.

Get clawed and punched at the face, Dataraska got a hold of the bothan and broke his wrist. Then threw the bothan across from behind the ship and into the quarter deck. Dataraska closed the cockpit and locked it as he sat Jupiter next to him.

The ship was falling into a rapid descent almost crashing into other ships. Jupiter woke up from all the rumbling and looked over to his side to see Dataraska.

"Hello sweety." Dataraska said with a smile as he gestured his fingers towards the front view which happened to be several tall apartments.

Jupiter then went for his hidden blaster and pressed it against Dataraska's right temple. "Let go of the ship's control now!" Jupiter ordered.

"Over my dead helpless body I would." Dataraska smiled as he turned the ship in a 360 degree yaw forcing Jupiter to hit the roof then back down on the chair. Dataraska grabbed the weapon and pressed it against Jupiter's temple.

"See...not to intelligent my friend." Dataraska grinned and then punched Jupiter out again, he set the ship on autopilot then went to the back to use a escape pod. The bothan came from behind and began to choke Dataraska.

"IM GOING TO KILL YOU!" the bothan yelled in anger as he choked Dataraska with a plasma wrench.

Dataraska ran towards the airlock chamber and opened the airlock, he pushed himself outside as the bothan clinged to his back still choking him. Dataraska then took hold of the wrench and jammed the bothan's knuckles forcing the bothan to release himself off from Dataraska. The bothan fell from the ship and smacked into opera building. Dataraska soon ran towards the escape pod but it didn't happen to work.

"Jeez, these guys dont keep their ship in check." Dataraska cursed as he kicked the panel and the door opened, Dataraska entered it as the door behind him closed up.

"Lets go already!" Dataraska yelled as he punched the keys, the pod exploded from the ship and traveled down towards the surface of Coruscant. The ship then exploded into a government building. The pod screeched itself down and finally making a hard landing against the floor. He opened the hatch and then left the area before security had arrived.

[Ruthless Gravity]

Dataraska made his way into the heaviest part of Coruscant which became famous for its opera scenes, goverment actions, and the famous battle which took place in the Senate building between a sith and a Jedi master. He was being chased down by security from the Senate who so happened to find him wanted on this planet. He took hold of a shirt near by a stand as a man yelled back calling for his shirt back.

He placed on the shirt and then tried wipping off the blood from his face, he saw security droids passing by with their search lights. Worse part was that it began to rain and the rain was sickiningly cold. He turned on his left and found a empty passenger vehicle then made his way to the vehicle, not knowing that it belonged to one of the security officials. He looked towards Dataraska and cursed at him, the security officer took out a stun baton and tried charging it against Dataraska's neck. Dataraska dodge the attack and then took hold of the security officer's wrist - breaking it with a instance and then kicking him off into the side. He jumped into the vehicle and started it up, it hummed to life and hovered 4 feet from the ground. The officer called in for back up as Dataraska made his way out from the lot. Flying high into the air and into the traffic he zoomed right by two security droids who took flashing digital photo's and chased after him followed by a automated droid lowland fighter that was painted metallic colors.

Dataraska pulled back on the handle as the vehicle pulled up into the air twisting around, and dodging oncoming traffic. Laser bolts flashing right pass him, he then pulled forward in the handle and then began to make his way around the traffic and into and even larger traffic. Dataraska cursed as he pulled left and followed the high speed traffic. The two smaller droids exploded on a oncoming civilian transport, the automated droid followed dodging the transport and then firing off ionic charged bolts at Dataraska.

Dataraska flew into a smaller tunnel on his right then began to dodge even more traffic as the droid flew right into the traffic. The droid caught up with Dataraska as it began to ram into Dataraska's vehicle. Dataraska willingly pulled back on the handle and going straight into a pipe and out from the tunnel. The droid simply made a hole in the tunnel and made it's way out and followed Dataraska. Shooting two well aimed shot and disabling partially of Dataraska's vehicle. Dataraska notice that a blaster pistol was left on board as he turned left, he took hold of it and then was waiting for the right moment to shoot back at the droid.

The droid shot off a couple of more shots until it used on of its on board missiles, the missile flew straight into the air missing all obstacles until it made contact with it's target, dataraska looked back then pulled hard right. The missile slammed right into a hovering sign. The droid flew right into the debri and out firing more shots. Dataraska placed it on auto and looked back, the droid fired a shot and hit right squared infront of Dataraska. He accidently dropped the weapon he held, the weapon fell off from the vehicle and dropped into a seemingly endless pit. Dataraska then made his way off the vehicle and onto the droid. Almost falling off himself.

The droid turned over, dataraska clunched on. He made a daring move by placed his hand underneath the cables and ripping them apart, the droid lost all potential to work with the ship. The droid's program reactivated and then the droid swung back up normally and autopiloted itself to hit into a tower. Dataraska tried pulling out every wire there was but it didn't seem to happen. With his last effort, he kicked the droid's head off and clung onto the ship as the ship descended. He looked forward to see another passing sign, he quickly jumped off the droid and onto the sign almost missing it by several inches.

Dataraska then jumped off the sign and onto a passing vehicle, the pilot looked over to his right and yelled for him to get off, Dataraska simply smiled and sat in the passenger side. He told the young pilot that he just need a ride back to a near by hanger.

"All this trouble came from the Republic itself...damn the Jedi, damn the Republic, damn this galaxy. I didn't do crap against no one and now they are all after me because I met a Jedi and worked for the Republic as a undercover agent. You know, I dont like to tell other people about this but since your the only one who so happens to understand my pain is why the hell are the Jedi so stuck up about themselves as being the 'peace keepers' of today? I dont get it." Dataraska sat across from another man who happened to be a pilot, wearing a simple jumpsuit and a vest...he nodded and took a sip from his drink.



"Well friend, the Jedi are like that - they love to be atop of things....inside the goverment, inside business, inside everything. I myself dont even like them since the day they took my business away two years ago just because I handled so called 'dangrous cargo' into Coruscant airspace." Camar talked as he took another sip.

"Just so happens that the other day, I visited Tatooine and yet again two Jedi or Sith or whatever they are attacked on of my employee's and killed her. I didn't take it well but before I could react, two other's attack the Jedi and they duked it out." He continued on talking as Dataraska listened in.

"Yeah, well today I just found out that my commander of the Republican Army disappeared...I heard he got assassinated by one of his own. Thank Goodness he died because I was gonna go kill myself the day I was ambushed by ONE of his own people on Rhen Var." Dataraska spoke on as he reacounted the moments he was on Rhen Var.


----

Dataraska stood silently inside the transport, the cold morning nearly killed his morning food. He looked over his right to see one of the Mandalorians who went rogue during the prime years of the Rebellion on Mandalore. He was sent in to get skin deep and assassinte the prime leader of the occult. The transport was taking them to the frontlines of a war that was brewing faster than snow could form on Rhen Var.

"Hey, drink this...it pours warmth in your body." A mandalorian giving Dataraska a cup with hot liquid that had the color of green blood. Dataraska took a hold of the cup and sipped it, he nodded back to the Mandalorian and looked across to see others getting ready.

A smoke trail from the horizon came out from behind the mountains, came down a large ground to ground missile. It's target was the transport itself, the missile made contact with the transport. Silence followed after the exlosion, body parts everywhere...scraps of metal.

Dataraska woke up with bloody hand's and a destroyed helmet, he stood up dazed and confused...looking around, everyone was dead. He ran back to base camp only to find them dead. He tried calling his CO from Coruscant but nothing came through, finally he left the planet by a small starfighter and was flown back to Coruscant. From there on, things grew worse.

"So yeah, after the incident...bounty hunters, mecernaries, all sorts of baddies from afar are after me including my own people. For some reason they think Im a murderer by far which Im not you know? Then I met this supposed 'Jedi' here on Coruscant...we talked and then trouble still grew as mercenaries came after me, then we went to Naboo where they killed innocent civilians. From there on, I grew tired of it so I wanted to defeat the Republic from the inside by creating a Droid Army but that was soon gone went the Huts and every vicious hunter came after me and destroyed that plan. So here I am now, being the most wanted man...if you could say that being chased down planet to planet. I think I survived a few deaths." Dataraska chuckled.

"Intereasting...I hear ya, but from what I can see - your just another man who seemed to lost his view from within. I wish I could give you a job...hell maybe a shelter but knowing full well what happens when I bring a wanted man on my crew does. Look, I got folks inside the goverment that might be able to get rid of your bounty. If that happens l'll notify you via hologram. In the mean time I got to go do some business with some engineers on Shili. Goodbye and have a nice day if all possible my friend." Camar stood up and left with a tip behind. Dataraska too said goodbye and sat their pondering what to do next.

"Who was that Jedi's name...Talrua...Zamara...er. Talau? Hmph." He spoke to himself as he stood up and left a tip behind also as he left the cantina.
