Arthus slammed onto the duraplast catwalk leaving a dent behind from his knee hitting the ground. The ground lost that fight between his armor and weight he had left a mark that would be there for awhile. Almost seconds after he had done this he was moving forward again through the crowds of Zeltros persuing an assassin or group of assassin's it wasn't quite clear which it was at the moment but they had attempted to assassinate Princess Kitana of the Zeltros rulership.
Needless to say an offense that carried heavy penalties if they were caught, and Arthus was currently wondering to himself if he should let the government have that pleasure. As he barreled forward the crowd seemed to spread out of his way. Many of them cheered as he went past, no doubt intoxicated by the many substances they could find on Zeltros.
He saw a figure drop behind a wall up ahead and knew it was one of the assassins. He activated his wrist cutter and it arced out it's deadly curve much like a lightsaber blade and slammed into the wall. He didn't have time to play acrobatics, no he went through the wall bursting out in time for an explosion of confetti to wash over the streets. A helmed figure looked over to him and then turned down a back alleyway. He deactivated his handblades making sure he would harm anyone running through crowded streets.
Arthus followed suit his heavy footsteps gaining fast, and managed to get to the end of the Alleyway as the man entered a warehouse. He reachced the doorway and then proceeded in closely. He blinked looking around the warehouse his eyes adjusting rather quickly, and his mind shot out probing for thoughts. Skirrans were good at detecting other's minds for that was their form of communication. Despite the heavy amount of people on Zeltros, he could comb through them like a fine tooth comb to find his target's unique presense.
Amongst the warm, jolly atmosphere he felt a cold sensation. The Assassin's mind was like winter amongst the crowd, and he could almost tastes the man's killing efficency. Stepping forward out into the open the armored Skirran looked about the warehouse knowing he was still in here. Trying to narrow down the area he sent out a mind probe as if he was shouting into the warehouse.
"Whoever paid you to attempt the assassination of Princess Kitana isn't paying you enough for this. Your not going to live, and if you give yourself up now the Princess may go easy on you..." said Arthus mentally projecting it outwards. His species had no mouth so this was the only way they communicated and thus they were generally good at mental energies. His was increased even further with an experimental drug that he had been injected with enhancing them sometimes to painful levels. Every once in awhile if he didn't keep his mind in check he could bring a room to its knees with his mental power.
Handy for when he was outnumbered but he had a feeling he wouldn't need this ability here. Though the presence he felt was now beginning to multiply.... there were more than just one and from his outburst he could feel their anxeity building as he walked closer.

Where Arthus strode through the crowd, a face for the target to see, Ardus kept pace, if not a few feet behind his brother, invisible to the eye. His eyes glowed with determination as he watched for any threats that might show themselves. His heavy armor was drowned out by the thumping of his massive brothers charge. Upon making it to the entry to the warehouse, Arthus continued his advance, where Ardus stopped at the gate, whispering, Beware brother. If they stop here, it might be a trap... He activated his own wrist blades, the ghostly looking energy blades almost invisible with the skirrans energy crystals light bending technology. The killing intent in the room reminded Ardus of the days of the skirran wars, when the clans fought against one another for dominance.
Assassins were not an uncommon tool for the skirrans who sought power, but they very rarely received their just rewards. While his brother might not remember as much, as his offer suggested, Ardus remembered, a drawn blade demanded blood. He stalked to the side of the door, moving further into the facility.

A large door opened to his left beckoning him forward, and not one to shy away he moved forward towards the doorway. As he walked into the middle of the room two droids came spinning in before slowing to a stop and taking up firing positions. Arthus sprung into action, and instead of taking cover he charged straight forward his blade's reactivating as he closed the distance quickly with four long strides. His energy wrist blade slammed through the core processer of the droid. It fizzled even before it was lifted up and thrown aside. He'd leave the other one to his brother as he continued forward, he had spotted a consel that was active and someone at it.
"Should have run when you had the chance," came Arthus' voice echoing out. The man looked up just as the screen turned red.
"Too late, every single droid in this place is active!"
Arthus punched through the ugly alien who choked in surprise but still smiled through green blood pouring out his mouth.
"You'll never make it... out of here...."
"Watch me," said Arthus spinning and throwing the man's body at a droid exiting a supply crate. He realized the place was full of crates and every single one of them had some sort of droid in them and a good number of them were combat oriented.
"We may have a problem brother.... one of the Assassin's activated all the droids to be hostile and there are still more in here. I can feel it," said Arthus.

Sera enters the Zeltros system, the planet just coming into view, Sera brought the fighter into atmosphere where the dock authority hailed her. Your clear to land at platform 23. Given the go ahead she brought her fight to the pad, where someone from the dock authority came by. I never thought someone from the Republic would be stopping by, unless you stole that fighter. Sera quickly stated her defense after the abrupt statement. What no no, I'm just borrowing this fighter from a friend. Sera face shows signs of dread that this man would call in back up. The man just satires at her for a few seconds judging her with his eyes then out of no where he starts laughing. A sign of relief washed over Sera's face when the man started laughing and just out of shear awkwardness she laughed with him. I'm just messing with you, you've been cleared to a long time time ago I just felt like have a little fun, you may move along and nice day her on Zeltros. Thank you, you as well. Sera gave him a slight bow and moved forward.
Looking at the data pad that Scar had given her she quickly reviewed the contents, there wasn't much on it except for a picture and a few quick notes on them fericly loyal to the Princess. Sera was interrupted by a crowed of people they seemed to be cheering about something, when Sera questioned a few of them they all had the same response "a man chasing down another man" they gave the description of Arthus, but these men were clearly intoxicated so she couldn't reliey on their words. Sera called upon the force to sense Arthus position what she saw was warehouse and him chasing down someone "assassin maybe" Sera couldn't get much, she then began to question several people where warehouses would be located.
In the shadows the Mystery Man watched Sera's movements closely.

OOC Since I can't get Eli to post here goes...
As droids came to life Arthus smashed through them with his blade leaving a trail of broken droids in his wake. Blaster bolts seemed to miss his large mass as it moved swiftly closing the distance and sometimes seeming to be in multiple places at once. In fact he and his brother had trained for this sort of combat. One would drop their stealth generator at just the right moment as the other disappeared almost seeming to give the ability to teleport or move at inhuman speeds.
At last he slammed a droid over his shoulder and came face to face with a room full of guns pointed his direction. He strode boldy in as if all the guns in the galaxy pointed at him would not faze him. He looked amongst them and his eyes narrowed.
"By order of Zeltros' those who would attempt a coup on the Princess are to be executed. You all face this charge. Step forward and surrender. I will make it quick, those of you who do not...." he trailed off for a moment. The only responce was that lightsabers activated. His eyes narrowed even more. He hated force users they always thought they could do anything. "I'll make suffer."
More droids continued to activate in the background and the assassin's showed no sign of talking so he was past talking. They would all die and would do his job. No doubt they were all remnants of the age past where the Empire ruled and actually mattered. Revenge on those who survived would acheive nothing in the end.

Sera made haste towards the warehouse district of the city and following her senses to Arthus 's position, arriving at the place doors opened. Sera senses several people inside and not the nice kind of people either, she took two steps forward just realizing a trap was possible. Scaling the side of the warehouse thinking back to where Sam would do the same she began to wounder how he did this so easily.
Arriving at the top an skylight peered down several men aimed their weapons towards one man, followed by a slew of droids. The same presence she felt earlier was here when she used to the force to sense Arthus's location. Sera griped the hilt of her lightsaber and jumped down igniting it slicing a man clean in half using his corpse to soften the landing. Mind if I cut in? Sear smirked as she said that standing tall with her green blade aimed at he ground ready for them try something.
She glanced over to the man having weapons pointed to him and recognizing him as Arthus,

As Arthus gave the traitors a chance to die quickly, Arthus was not quite so kind. He had already began moving, his incandescent blade almost as invisible as his form, up until the point that he dropped the cloak after the hum of lightsabers ignited. It had him striding into a group of droids on standby, waiting for the order to fire, the blade ripping through their armor as if it was butter. Almost as soon as he destroyed the four battle droids, he cloaked again, and began moving once again, His next move brought him into a stampede towards one of the closest force users, as they prepared for the attack. He began an assault on the creatures mind, pelting it with telepathic energies, enough to crush the mind of a weaker person, but the force user only staggered, as the skirrans blade lept towards the mans throat, barely blocked by the man, as Artemus cloaked again, and dove towards the side, coming back into visibility moving past the next man in line, to assault the third. His focus was not to kill, but rather to set the foes up for the killing blow to come. As the first force user, who's mind was still being pummeled turned to face him, the ploy begun.

Things degenerated rapidly as a new force user entered into the fray. Arthus was quick on his feet closing the distance as the momentary distraction get him the chance to get the drop on them. Too slow, as a lightsaber came humming his way his blade arm blade came out to meet it brushing it aside and a fist slamming into the dark cloaked figure. He dropped into a heavy roll, the sound of his armor against metal scraping as he came back up.
He slashed low cutting off a man’s leg as he came up twisting in his stance to meet a charge. He brought his arm up again but miscalculated the block as the lightsaber came down upon his armor cutting the gauntlet and melting the power to his blade. Not waiting for the lightsaber to go all the way through his other arm shot forward from underneath grabbing the man and lifting him. Out of the corner of his eye he saw droids lining up the shot on him and he turned putting the man up before him. His body rocked as blaster bolts slammed into the man’s chest instead of Arthus.
Charging forward with his human shield he came amongst the droids slamming into them knocking them over and then with his gauntleted fists he tore through them. He didn’t know it but his mind was assaulting all sentient beings nearby. He stood up from ripping apart the droids with sheer strength and turned to the last remaining force user who jumped at him with the force.
His will became singular now. He came forward in the man’s jump grabbing his leg and pulling him into an arcing twist that ended with slamming the man into the ground. Then placing a foot on the man’s leg and pulling to break or dislodge the leg. The man screamed out trying to turn and slash at Arthus with the lightsaber. Arthus hadn’t fully expected it and got clipped on the face by the very edge of the saber. He twisted the leg hearing a snap and then doing it with the other leg all the while the man was being assaulted with Arthus’ mind. He began to see the human’s memories, the plan they had set up to bring him here. The Princess was a secondary target but him and his brother had been the main target. He saw a… Female Skirran in the man’s memories and upon seeing her he picked the man up bellowing rage as he squeezed the man’s head. He saw his own face looking out of the man’s eyes as his life was about to come to an end. He tossed the body aside looking over to his brother who had mopped up the other’s and the girl who had showed up.
“Who are you.” Asked Arthus flatly.

Several droids aimed their blasters at Sera's direction but the brunt of their forces still remained locked on Arthus's position. Sera brings her blade above her head and immediately into a kendo stance, the droids facing her opened fire, she quickly blocked several shots and jumped in the air bringing her blade down in a vertical motion and again in a horizontal motion. Sera immediately blocked several other shots while simultaneously cutting down the droids.
In her mind she kept thinking that mere droids couldn't hold a candle to a force user, in her arrogance Sera took a blaster bolt to her shoulder forcing her to stagger back and placing her hand where the wound in. Pain surges throughout her right arm but she still manages to block incoming blasters. As Arthus takes care of the remaining pests Sera charges forward cutting the blaster in two and mustering the strength to two hand her lightsaber and begin to cut the last droid in thirty five different pieces.
After all that was over she disengaged her lightsaber and placed in back on her belt and addressed Arthus still holding her wound. I am Sera O'Connell, and I have a messaged from Scar, he requests that you assist him.[/color]

The name seems to have kept Arthus quite for a moment and then he looks to his brother who he can feel, nearby.
"What do you think brother? He helped us once before, what do you think he wants now." said Arthus telepathically, still keeping Sera in the converation. It was clear even though Arthus had a mouth he hardly used it for communication. He then took notice of the girl's wound. "You should have that looked at. Even slight infections can fell the mightest of warriors."

Glancing around to make sure the would be assassins were all gone, Ardus turned back to the conversation at hand. If we follow Scars request, we may end up helping him in something that will hurt us in the end... That, and we leave the queen to the likes of these... vermin... sweeping his arm out to motion towards the dead and destroyed flung about the battlefield. Looking towards Sera, he continued,Sera san O'connel. What is it that Scar San Death wants from us. What would he need with the last of the Skirrans in this sector?

Directing her attention towards Ardus but still keeping Arthus in the conversation she answers back without really knowing the answer since she was in a rush to find her brother. I assure you that Scar wouldn't harm you or the princess that you protect.[/color] The wound on her shoulder was starting to get to her, aside from her fight with Scar back at the abandoned station she had never been in a real fight before and certainly never been injured she had no idea how to deal with it, if only she had been faster.If you don't mind I prefer to talk about Scar's plans in private preferably somewhere I can patch up my wound.[/color]

"Then come with us back to the palace, we will discuss more there. At least there It has some peace and quiet,” said Arthus. Even in this abandoned warehouse the beat on Zeltros could be heard. The muffled vibrations going through the ground from heavy bass, that was a sensation that Arthus had had gotten used to in the past few months.
Walking out into the street Arthus had already signaled a private cab to take them to the palace via his armor imbedded comlink. His head piece threw up holo displays of information superimposed on the background. Opening the door of the large cab most likely done so it fit the two brothers, he waited for them to get in and then joined them himself.
“I sincerely, doubt he plans to make any important moves in the war. As always he seems to elect to be allies with everyone with money, but he doesn’t promise he won’t supply your enemies.”

Sera followed Arthus to the cab he hailed and hoped in right behind him and his brother, Sera kept mostly to herself just thinking of everything that had happened, stopping a band of pirates, joining the same bunch to take down another pirate, fighting sith and now working with one to find her brother, everything was moving too fast for her.
When Arthus spoke of the war she thought he must have been referring to the New Mandalorian wars that was happening, Sera didn't learn a whole lot about this war was curious to learn more about it. “Arthus if you don't mind me asking how did the war start, you know the New Mandalorian wars?”SS
