Bar Brawl

by Aerena 'Relentless' Kolene

Suddenly I see Jem flying through the air with the greatest of ease - or in this case the force! Then the holographic dancers twist and spin and turn into Medusas with blasters. Great and here I am sporting my Medusa logo again. *SIGH* I turn to my companion and ask if he wants to help me fight the bandits. He asks if I mean the one on the stage or the one who caught Jem. This means he isn't interested in being on my side or used as a boy toy either. Well, darn. I stand up, pick up my drink, dump it on his head, and hit him with the glass. Apparently he sees it coming and dodges so I am not able to get a good solid hit and then he returns the favor. I don't manage to dodge though, but I do manage to tell Spook to hit him with a spanner. As I am falling back against the wall, I see her eject a spanner with force and aggression and it does hit him. Good girl! I am managing to stay conscious, but barely.
 
I shake my head to clear my vision and reach to turn on my shield and ask Spook for a weapon. She hedges a bit and then pops an iron pipe out of her dome. I take it and find a button on the side. I point it at the other combatant at our table and click the button. It extends into a pike with energy visible around the dangerous end. I step forward and jab it at him. It stuns him and he slumps against a nearby table. I then notice Spook shoot an extendable claw that clamps onto his butt check and she begins dragging him around the room like a fish!
 
My initial playmate picks up a chair and swings for my head. I start to use my shield to deflect it and duck under and then I see that it is a feint and I plant my shield against the floor as his foot comes around to kick my feet out from under me. I think I hear some bones break maybe and we exchange a few barbs. Out of the corner of my eye, I see the pirate that Spook is dragging around grab his pistol and aim for her. I yell for her to defend herself and she drops the line and attempts to use her jets to get above the shot. She doesn't have time and gets hit! There is a smell of burnt electronics and I can see a hole in her casing. Someone is going to be paying for repairs and an oil bath. Then he turns and shoots at me, but I manage to deflect the shot with my shield. Then Nale Ven picks up the paper umbrella and flicks it at me. I make a move to brush it aside and somehow, it lands on my shield power button and deactivates it while also locking it closed. He looks very smug. I distract him with inane chatter as I pull the toothpick out and stash it safely to await the chance to return it with interest.
 
I point at his companion and when he turns his head, I jab him with the pike. He does a little dance and sinks to the floor. While I am distracted by taking him out, his companion fires at me and I am not able to dodge in time. It hits my left shoulder and I am wounded. I hit the ground, stunned. When I am finally able to move, I snarl at the one who shot me and then Spook and I tag team him with Spook rolling into his knees at speed and I use my shield to bash him. We manage to stun him at least. Then he looks up at me and shoots me pointblank. I get my shield up in time and block it. I am getting a bit annoyed. Then loverboy - I mean Nale grabs his shoulder and holds him in place. He proclaims that he has discovered what he wanted to know and then he fades in the background saying he will be in touch.
 
I wonder why he has decided to leave now?
 
I check the partner and see that he has been rendered unconscious with a silver dart of some kind. I glance around and see that the brawl is winding down and there is just once cell of resistance left so I head that way and manage to almost hit one of the pirates, but he blocks with an armored vest. Then something happens behind me and he takes off running for the door. I stop and look around and see that the fight is all over with. My shoulder really starts to hurt and I have to take of Spook as well. I walk over to check on Spook and while she has a hole in her side, she can still function. We start heading towards the entrance where I have heard that Doc is so he can do some basic first aid - or maybe even fix me up. I wonder which of the troopers can help me fix her?? Then I will have to get her into a good oil bath. Frankly right now, a bath and bed (with a warm Wookie in it) sounds like heaven.
 
After a few days, we go over the intel we gathered from the casino and decide that we must divide and conquer. Vanya, Davish, and the two mentats will be going to Biss. So'Zen and Lady Zaye (with her kids) will be heading to Yavin IV, while I will be going to the Spacer's Tears, out by the gas giant Monorik here in the Chalcedon System -with Hicks tagging along in an Arc-170. I think I will find Nale Ven there too and we have unfinished business.
