Leonidas' Getaway (Closed)

[icethorne]

Some times people ask themself, "What the hell am I doing here?" And, usually thats about when the person realizes that they probably made a bad decision to go where they are at.

"What is your name and who are you affiliated with?" The man being questioned was surrounded by guards and was silently contemplating the situation. It has been far to long since I came to this iceball of a planet. "My name is Leonidas," the man said fiercly not allowing any nonsense. The guards shook visibly obviously scared of the monster they questioned.

Leonidas stood tall and ready for combat at the shifting of a blade of frosted grass. The guard shifted his weight and added, "You know that this territory has been claimed by our lord Ferrimon and you are trespassing," the guard paused to look back at the load ramp of their ship and added, "Unfortunately I am going to have to arrest you," Leonidas glared quietly as he realized that these guards weren't going to let him walk away.

The guard moved in slowly ready to cuff the big beast. But, to their dismay Leonidas had no intention of giving up. He drew his sword quick as he bashed one of the other guards with his shield. And, allowing his blade to flow from one attack to the other he cut down the four guards before moving over to his spear. Sheathing his sword Leonidas equipped his spear and took aim at the loading ramp. Slowly two more guards come after him. They stood against the long spear that impaled them before they had time to draw blaster rifles. Leonidas stopped to a clapping sound as the apparent Lord was aplauding his efforts, "Well done! But, unfortunately there is nothing you can do against my pet," the lord whistled loudly into the wind. Leonidas replied, "Unfortunately my spear will find your heart and I will take your ship before your pet gets here." Moving fast Leonidas shot his spear towards the lord with deadly precision. The blade struck home peircing the heart, the lord falls to his knees when the thunderous hooves could be heard, "He comes now... you are to late," the lord smiled weakly at the disgruntled man, "He will tear you limb from limb and I shall watch from the afterlife," the lord passed away and Leonidas retrieved his spear.

Clearing the ramp as the hooves approached even closer, "I best get outta here while I still can," laying his gear about the ship he realized that the lord was exactly a rich lord: 6 guards, 1 ship... Just then a loud roar came as the ramp closed up. Looking out the side windows Leonidas spotted the pet... "a snow yeti?" It shook the ship as Leonidas prepared the coordinates for Naboo.

From outside one could see the yeti become angered as the ship lifted out of reach of the big furry ape. A slight pause in ascension before speeding off towards Naboo, "Well, that was a nice little muscle warmer," he smiled to himself as he was glad to finally escape that cold planet.

In space Leonidas contemplated his next move; As of now he had no troops, he wasn't even affiliated with any major power. Many things had happened in the galaxy that could describe the beginning of a war.

Just then as if to set it in stone his Holonet started to blink with news. It turns out that the Jedi Grandmaster had been assasinated at a highly populated gathering. But, the question is: How did he let it happen and why? It was far beyond him that one of the greatest Jedi alive had been assasinated by a mere projectile weapon when he was undoubtedly aware of the event. This means that he had to stand idle even though he knew his death was near. It made no sense to Leonidas. But, if anyone knew even a few of the answers he would have to stop in at Coruscant.

If a war was truly about to break loose then Leonidas could not get caught in the crossfire with his pants down. He needed to ally himself with a power if he planned on staying alive to see it's outcome. His first thoughts were of the Jedi. Perhaps they could have some use for him. "So much for Naboo," he stated as he redirected his autopilot to head for Coruscant. And, to the core system... Many dangers lie ahead. And, not just physical dangers. But, the worst danger in polotics; Something Leonidas never cared to take part in.

[Xero]

Darth Xero's own ship came out of hyper space not to far from Leonidas's. The Sith Lord was out and about trying to gather fellow force users to aid him in his cause to over take the current Dark Lord and replace himself as the Sith's leader, as it should have been all those years ago.

Xero placed his hand up to his masked face and flipped one of the catchs on the mask. "If I wish to have him join me he must first trust me. This mask wwould make that hard to do that very task." As the mask slide from his face, the low inward lights of the ship illuminated the deep scars that ran this way and that along his face.

With a simple flip of a switch, Xero opened up a com channel between the other ship and his own. "I am merely here to speak to you on a pressing matter, nothing more, but if you take your chances and run....you will more than likely incounter my battle crussier only a few clicks from our current location."

Leonidas was slightly suprised when the comm flashed, "I am merely here to speak to you on a pressing matter, nothing more, but if you take your chances and run....you will more than likely incounter my battle crussier only a few clicks from our current location."

A Sith encounter was a little unexpected and not exactly what Leonidas had wanted to run in to. However, the approach was not agressive, "What is it you want?"

Leonidas' own facial expression played off of the irritation from Hoth and the irritation of being approached so freely. I should be careful... there is no telling what could happen. As if it could get any worse; the vessel Leonidas had run off with was not exactly battle ready. Against a cruiser he stood no chance... he would just have to play his cards right.
