	Hey everyone! Here ya go. related links: 'Simply Being Loved' - the precursor to this story. Doesn't have to be read to understand this one, but it would help. 'The Feigned' - the website surrounding the two stories. Includes information, pictures, etc. -------- CHARACTERS: (I'll be adding more people as they are introduced. And believe me, there will be A LOT more.) Gadell Vessau (male human from Hapes) Jacen Solo (male human from Coruscant [high-class]) Kaidan Serasai (male human from Coruscant [lower levels]) Khee Verelen (male human from Hapes) Lomi Plo (female human - Nightsister) Lowbacca (male wookiee from Kashyyyk) Nexus Mirdele (female human from Corellia) Raynar Thul (male human - Dark Jedi) Rez Nyena (female human from Nar Shaddaa) Ryled Mirdele (male human from Corellia) Tenel Ka - "Tenna" (female human from Hapes) Tenk Mirdele (male human from Corellia) Tessick Ladreen (male human from Myrkr) Welk (male human - Dark Jedi) Zekk (male human from Coruscant) -------- This is the prologue. It's short --- and not much. But it is something. Since it's not much, I'll probably be giving ya the next part within the next day or so. --- PROLOGUE - IT BEGINS (DAY ZERO / 0) I have grown to love my life at the Fountain Palace. It is my home now. I love every detail. The way the carpets feel under your bare feet. The way the breeze gently tickles your cheeks as you stare out to the sea. The way the vines in the garden snake up the Palace and endlessly try to grow into the open windows. Hapes is my home. I am the Commander of it's fleets. I have no immediate family. All my relatives have died. But I do have a sister. She's not related by blood, but by trust, friendship and love. Her name is Tenel Ka. We've become close since the events that took place two months ago. We're close enough that I can get away with calling her 'Tenna' which is a nickname stumbled upon one day awhile back. She was calling me 'Della' after I so uncerimoniously donned one of her many tiaras to try to cheer her up, so I thought of a nickname for her too. She's been needing a lot of cheering up lately. And that all started a few days after Jacen Solo and the rest of our guests had left, after the post-war celebration. At first she was very cautious around me, as if she still sensed the void of poison surging in my system. A few weeks had passed and we were getting closer in a friendly way... and after that it ended up growing into a sibling rivalry type bond. She once said to me that we reminded her of how Jacen and Jaina Solo used to act on Yavin 4. She has told me many stories of her childhood. About her left arm and the Diversity Alliance and everything before, between and after. I always sat near her, like a little child listening to his parents read The Little Lost Bantha Cub; interested and begging for more. I didn't know she had been through so much and it gave me a new level of respect for her. As for the planets, we have made new plans for the Hapan fleets and we are planning to build new ships, just in case another war ever surfaces. We have stayed up many late nights, in her quarters slaving over prints and plans of the new fleet, which is going to be bigger and better than anything ever created. And I have found myself curled up on her sofa the next morning, both of us collapsing the night before, from exhaustion. Hapes is really becoming a strong set of planets, in the political sense. We've noticed a decrease in assassination attempts (to which Tenna said, "They just know I would win in a fight with them. They are frightened."), an increase of political support and continued cheers for the Queen Mother. I, myself, have been busy training in the Force. Tenel Ka has taught me many things I never knew I could do. And she has also told me the ways of the Jedi, what's right and what's wrong. I'm learning... slowly but surely I'm learning. She always tells me that when Jacen comes back, he will teach me a few important things also... When Jacen comes back... We got a message, a general distress call, from him clothed in a disconcerting disguise. And that was Day Zero. --- I know it's short. But don't worry, there will be more. -----signature----- [ http://echuta.net/ - we're doomed! http://whatthefun.net/cosplay - my cosplay site! http://echuta.net/chivalry - my J/TK fanthings <3 http://echuta.net/oc - EU costuming http://tenel-ka.livejournal.com - the eljay ]

	squeals in delight at the new Jacen icon Okay enough of that. J&J: Glad you like it so far! And there's plenty more where that came from. Muahaha! AvenKiel: LOL! I didn't know people would be camping out for this one, but thank you! 3MD: I'm glad people see it as good that Gadell is like TK's brother-type now. I always thought she needed an anchor... the girl's likely to go insane with all the junk she puts up with ALL the time. JainaDurron: Don't eat it all at once. Oh who cares, eat it all at once... you can always go to the snack bar during intermission. Here's part one. dances These guys--- well Kaidin mostly are a tad perverted. So watch it. ------ CHAPTER ONE - STREET TRASH (DAY SIX / +6) My name is Kaidin Serasai. I'm a twenty-seven year old bounty hunter, born and raised in the lower levels of Coruscant. I lost my mother and father when I was six, to a crazed lunatic, murdering for fun. I vowed to myself I would get revenge on him and at the young age of fourteen, I had found the man and slaughtered him, laughing all the way. I like to hunt people down, especially people who deserve what's coming to them and I like to watch them suffer. I like high-paying bounties. I like Corellian Ale. I like blasters. I like vibroblades. I don't really like people. I like love. I like sex. When you're in love and having sex, it's even better. I like making rude comments. I like barfights. I like gambling. I guess I like bad things. I guess you could call me a bad person. The man sat alone at the bar of the Vina Lidrina, his slender finger running through drops of condensation on the metal bartop. Despite the loud music, he was deep in thought, his mind wandering from random thought to random thought, wondering how he ended up in this mess in the first place. He was on the spacestation, the Urbania. It was a large oval-shaped craft, that hovered through space, stopping for nothing. There was a huge city covering the flat surface, sprawling over every little niche and crevice. A canopy of clear durasteel spread over the top, giving inhabitants a permanent view of space. The minimal times that the floating city needed to restock something or refuel itself, ships brought the items to them, giving them no reason to slow down. The city was home to everything vile: gangs, crime, drugs. Urbania used to boast a great vacation getaway, until the city's reputation and status crumbled downhill. All under the reign of one Ryled Mirdele. Kaidin's newest bounty was that man. There was a price out on his head, and Serasai was always up for a challenge... He wasn't really thinking much about that now though. He just sat at the bar, savoring the flavor of the smooth ale sliding down his throat. I'm guilty of many things. Killing people. Seeking revenge. Lying. Cheating. Having little boyhood fantasies and falling in love, or just lust, with people I can never have. That's one of my main problems right now. There's a girl I've had my eye on since I was younger... It's a main challenge in my life to let her know I exist and to get what I want from her. I've never personally met her, but I will change that after Tessick and I clear this bounty... She's the Queen Mother of Hapes. Her name is Tenel Ka. She's a fiesty little thing. You can just tell on the holos of her, you can see her trying to keep her cool and stuff. But she just wants to smack everyone around her, you know it. So I'm guilty of endlessly looping old public holos of her, propping myself down in front of the screen and just staring. No blinking. No eating. No drinking. No anything. Just wishing. I've never been in love. So this must be what it feels like... or maybe it's just a sick obsession. Sick obsessions are one of my specialities for some reason... Kaidin broke out of his reverie, spinning himself around on his barstool. His deep gray eyes wandered out over the huge club and the crowd stuffed inside. Cords of light dashed across the ceiling, pulsing with many different colors while the other light spilling across the room was from the walls. Light pushed it's way through millions of pinholes in the walls and like the cords across the ceiling, the pinholes were all different colors. The walls were a dark metal shade, the same as the ceiling and the floor, which was a work of art in itself. The ground was made of a strong clear material and under it were chambers a few feet deep, filled with water that held colored stones and glittering gems at the bottom. The cords of light that were on the ceiling also worked their way through the water underfoot, giving the water the illusion of always changing colors. The huge floor in the middle was where most of the crowd was, dancing and moving to the beat of the insanely loud music. Kaidin recognized it as a song he heard many times in one of the clubs he used to visit on the lower levels of Coruscant. He thought about his old home a lot lately and he had no idea why. He rested his elbows back on the countertop and slouched down, setting his feet on the silver rungs that spiraled down the bottom of the seat. A twi'lek who was making her way around the dance floor saw the unintentional immorality of the way he was sitting, his feet set so high on the rungs that his legs were spread apart, and she took it as some sort of random invite to approach him. She spoke to him in rough basic, her words simple enough that he understood them, "Hey baby..." She stood as close as she could to him without smacking him in the face with her spastic dance moves. Oh, the audacity. He opened his mouth to say something, until his train of thought-to-words was interrupted by a male voice from beside him, an octave or two lower than his. "Hey sweetheart, would you mind backing off? He's mine." The twi'lek looked offended at the snappy tone of the voice as she slinked away from the two males, the one seated and the one standing. Kaidin watched her vanish into the crowd and smirked as he turned to look up at the devilish male. "I'm yours?" "Yeah. Unless you wanted to go home with that. She's been all over every guy twice in this club. And that has only been in the past standard... oh..." His brown eyes glanced upwards as he jokingly calcuated the time, "...one and a half hours, I'd say." "We're not here to hit on the ladies, 'Sick." "Then what are we here for?" "To get drunk of course." They shared a laugh as Tessick seated himself beside his friend and Kaidin turned to face the bar. They were here to relax. The job had been taxing on both of them for the past months and the Vina Ladrina, as hyper and loud as it was, was one of the only places the two could unwind. Tessick Ladreen was Kaidin's partner. They were both very able bounty hunters and they worked on an equal level, splitting each bounty they recieved. Tessick was an undeniably handsome man, bred and born in Hyllyard City on Myrkr. His eyes were a dull shade of brown, that contained slightly visible specks of red, while his hair was a deep shade of crimson that was cropped shorter in the back than it was in the front. It was still long enough to be tied into a tighly wound piece of string at the nape of his neck, like it was now. No matter what Tessick, or his unruly hair, looked like, his charm caused ladies to swarm around him at the snap of a finger or the upturn of his thin lips. "That is him, that is the one who would not dance with me!" Kaidin and Tessick both peered over their shoulders, Kaidin over his right and Tessick over his left. They saw the twi'lek that Tessick had scared off, along with two big, bloodthirsty looking wookiees who were audibly growling curses. The bounty hunter's eyes trailed to each other and that's when they both dashed off of their seats and began dodging people towards the exit. Now this, this is what I call relaxing. Kaidin enjoyed silly little barfights and chinsy games of manhunt. They were good exercise. They kept him in shape and alert. And they kept the time on Urbania exciting. The only other things that could possibly keep Kaidin excited on Urbania were sex and Corellian Ale... But how often do I get those, huh? Ducking down, Kaidin slid through a gap between two humans dancing and lifted his right foot in the air, planting it down on a chair near behind them. His left foot carried onto the table beside the chair and he leapt off of it, soaring over a few people before tucking himself and rolling onto the floor. The cover of people kept him hidden from the wookiees as he slipped in and out of dancers, hunched over, towards the exit. Colored lights flashed across his eyes and over his cover of living beings, giving the huge club an always changing glow and leading Kaidin to the exit. Tessick on the other hand, made it a point to let the wookiees see him making his escape, as he stalked through the crowds, greeting and saying goodbye to every female regular of the club while passing them. He reached the entrance first and slipped around the corner, pulling a fairly good sized metal cube from his bag. Kaidin who was shoved out of the club by the pulsing crowd behind him, was also fishing the same thing out of his own bag. They both held they cubes out in front of them and snapped a small indentation, causing the cubes to expand into boards. The repulsors contained inside flared to life. They both jumped on their respective boards and jammed their feet down on the pedal at the back, causing them to speed off over the busy, neon lit streets of Urbania. Before they got far enough away, they both heard a wookiee's growl, in broken, shoddy basic. "Get back here, street trash!" Tessick and Kaidin were too far off after that, giggling loudly and maniacally at their display of childish antics. The wind whipped against them as they hovered a good distance above the flow of people on the walkways. Below them, and far under the sprawling expanses of the civilian and citizen walkways, were the grimy lower levels of the Urbania --- mechanics and pilots drifted under the surface while cold-blooded criminals stalked atop. The lower levels were home to clubs and businesses that were sick and twisted, just like the whole spacestation was becoming. Kaidin knew that one day, the upper levels on the station would be just like it's bottom feeders. He swerved his board out to the edge of the walkway and peered over into the dark expanse of jagged buildings and faded, flickering neons. As he moved, staring down into the abyss, Tessick sped up from his spot flanking Kaidin and rode up beside up. "What's going on in that pinhead of yours, Kai?" Tessick spoke over the noise of the wind. He slightly held his arms out beside him, to help keep his balance as his huge sleeves got pulled up towards his shoulders by the breeze. "Nothing your pinhead could handle, so I won't bother you with it." Kaidin turned his head from the edge of the walkway and looked to his friend, a big grin plastered on his face. The beginnings of black stubble stood out on Kaidin's chin, which Tessick always scoffed at. He always told Kaidin that he had the perfect 'childish innocence' look about him and he should exploit it. "The ladies love babyfaces," he had said to Kaidin once; who had rolled his eyes and scowled in response. They hovered above the walkways, moving at a leisurely pace. High above them, towers reached to space, the tops almost scraping the clear canopy. Kaidin could point out where their bounty lived from any spot in the city. His living quarters sat atop the tallest building, The Mircas Tower, which held the people who ran The Urbania --- every aspect about the city and it's way of life was decided in The Mircas Tower, as well as the direction the spacestation took. "Race you." "Hmm?" Kaidin broke from his trance and looked to Tessick, who was still riding alongside of him. "Come on, you son of a hutt. Race you to the base. Hundred credits to the winner." A sneer jokingly crossed Kaidin's face as he hunkered down on his board, "You're on." And with that, the two were off speeding through Urbania's endless nights. ------ Muaha~ -----signature----- [ http://echuta.net/ - we're doomed! http://whatthefun.net/cosplay - my cosplay site! http://echuta.net/chivalry - my J/TK fanthings <3 http://echuta.net/oc - EU costuming http://tenel-ka.livejournal.com - the eljay ]
