While Karissa and Skye left to the town, the female Kiffar pulls out the comlink and contacts one of the comrades to inform them about the situation.
"Report" a deep voice says on the comlink.
"Sir, I found her" she replied referring to Karissa. "Heading towards Imbraani..."
"Get yourself get back at the hideout, and we better plan an ambush to capture the young Kiffar this time!" the deep voice says as the comlink later switched off.
Karissa looks at Skye in surprised hearing about her dated a boy. "Aaah, so you did hooked up with a guy, haven't you?" Karissa chuckles a bit "I'm impress... and I didn't catch your name, but I'm Karissa by the way. You may call me Kari, and this is Baxter" she points to her furry Ottsel who sleeping on her shoulder. She smiles a bit "I hope you weren't freaked out with my appearance" she says referring to her black eyes, her nose stud and two lip rings. She looks at her outfit "And I'm not a big fan of Jedi Robes... they made me uncomfortable. I'm surprise that Master Jaing didn't say anything about myself no longer wear Jedi Robes..." she shrugs her shoulder a bit, carefully not waking Baxter up. "Oh what the hey!" she commented

"I'm Skye," she replied. "And don't worry about the threads until we leave for the mission. We'll have to find something else for you. I might have some regular clothes that might fit you. Or maybe over there," she pointed at a teen shop across the street, "might have some stuff. If anyone asks around about a Goth girl, no offense, but you'll be pretty easy to spot." Skye shrugged.
The danger sense had not left. In fact, it had only gotten stronger. "Let hurry up and eat, get what we need, and leave. I have a bad feeling about this place. It feels like someone's, I dunno, watching us... At least in the woods, we'd be safer..."

"Hey, I don't need to change my outfit, thank you, I love the way I'm wearing" Karissa says rolling her eyes. With that, she turns to Skye, but she notices a few people staring at her, she has a weird feeling. She whispers to Skye "Is it me or am I the only Goth girl in here?"
Karissa turns around trying to avoid the stares she getting from the others. She doesn't like it at all, she quickly walks faster into the alleyway, knowing there will be danger nearby. Karissa sighed heavily but then she stood frozen after turning around facing the wall. There is a Wanted poster on the wall...
With the image of Karissa, saying the rewards of capturing her alive for 2 millions creds and will be brought before Tolth Retwin, leader of the Black Valkyrie Clan. Plus it also mentioned a bounty on her head.
"Oh my god!" Karissa whispers gasping in shock, discovering a huge bounty on her head and is wanted alive for Retwin. Baxter woke up, hearing Kari's gasp. Then he saw it with his own eyes.
"Holy almighty!" Baxter says looking at the poster "That's a big bounty on you Kari"

Skye sought out Karissa minutes later, holding two plain brown bags that smelled delicious. "Hey, think fast!" Skye said, throwing a bag at Karissa. She caught it, but barely. Her eyes wouldn't leave the alley wall. "What's up?" she asked, coming up to stand at the older girl's shoulder. Her eyes widened. "What did you do??" Skye exclaimed in a tight whisper.
Karissa didn't answer her, and suddenly Skye's danger sense went on full force. Her dinner bag dropped to the ground and her arms went up behind her to grasp the two lightsabers in her pack, turning around simulously. Nobody there. "Get your lightsaber," Skye commanded. "They know you're here, Karri!"
"Yes, we do," a voice answered. From above them. Skye gasped and activated her lightsabers. With a touch of Skye's mind, Cash went running full speed back to the Enclave for help. Jaing would know. He'd bring Amaya to help. She knew he would. "We've watched you for a long time, Karrissa. It's time for you to die. We have five snipers spread out on the rooftops. If you take a step out of this alley, they'll shoot. Let's make it easy: hand over your weapons, and there will be no fight."
"I love a standoff," Skye said. She had to keep this man or woman talking long enough for Cash to get back. He knew the way. He knew a faster way than the one Skye had taken... "Care to explain why you want my friend so bad?"

"Who the hell are you?" Karissa asks, but out of picture she turns hearing foosteps closer, she saw a group of Black Valkyrie warriors entering in the alleyway. She stares at them but her eyes fixed onto the tattoo on their faces. She looks on in shock and surprise. She remembers them, they were the ones who ambushed her weeks ago, through the armor they wore and the tattoos on their face.
"Aah, Karissa Halcyon, you are a busy-beaver ain't you?" the group leader spoke looking straight at Karissa. Karissa growls under her breath staring at them and the bounty hunter. She stood close to Skye's side. She hated this, she rather die than being captured by the Black Valkyrie this time, but she doesn't want to get Skye involved with this. Karissa really wanted to find out why Tolth Retwin wanted her alive, if the Jedi Council and Jaing will tell her the truth...
The group leader walks follow towards Karissa "Throw down your weapons, and you shall not be harmed unless if you come with me, Karissa..." he says
"Never!" Karissa hisses angrily.
"I will not tell you again, young lady! Throw down your weapons and come with me" he threatens "If you don't, your friend behind you, will be the one to get shot if you refuse to co-operate"

Sitting outside Jaing looked up from the battle tactics he had been mulling over and frowned as he saw Skye's dog appear from the trees. Cash started barking, a short, excited bark that made Jaing's hair on the back of his neck stand up. He was already expecting the blonde-haired Jedi to come out and shush her dog. It was nighttime already. When neither she nor Karissa came out, Jaing searched for them through the Force.
His blood turned to ice. Taking out his comlink, he hastily informed Amaya to meet him at Imbraani. Armed.
--
Skye activated her lightsabers, throwing an emerald light in the alley. "I think you should go now," Skye said, putting the weight of the Force behind her words. "You can meet us back here tomorrow."
One of the Kiffar snarled. "Nice try, kid."
Skye swallowed. On a good day, she could probably persuade a fellow Padawan to let her win. She could never concentrate if she was tired and hungry and scared. And she was all of the above. Keep a sense of detachment. Hold your breath, calm yourself. Wait for the right moment, and strike like your life depends on it. Amaya's words echoed within her skull, and she was calm for a moment.
Thank you, Master.
She didn't hear the next few words as she struggled to calm herself. The lady had said there were five on the rooftops, probably snipers. There were two blocking their way, and the three scaling down the wall to circle them. There were two durasteel trashcans to her left, and she saw a large stick in the corner of the dead-end. Plus the food they had dropped.
use what you're given
Skye breathed in and out, forming a plan in her mind. Reaching out, she found the large stick with the Force and slowly managed to move it towards the trashcans without any sound...
your only weapon is your power, and your will to control it...
The stick was next to the trashcans, now. Skye raised it up, selfconciously aware of the shaking it was doing...
Focus!
Now.
The sound of the stick hitting both trashcans almost made her drop both lightsabers. All the Kiffar turned, weapons raised, towards the disturbance.
Take advantage of your opportunity!
"RUN!"
Skye grabbed Karissa's arm and pushed her in front of her, making her run down the alley. She twisted around and threw out her hand. Their discarded food flew into the faces of the two men blocking their way. Skye heard a shot ring out and involuntarily turned. Almost as if in slow motion, the bolt headed towards Karissa. But she didn't see it!
She threw herself in its' way and felt it rip through her thigh, then though her shoulder. She didn't scream, but fell to the ground, telling herself to concentrate.

Nya had been in a diner, reading a datapad when she'd seen what looked like a commotion. Although she couldn't hear it, she saw it.
She didn't know those involved, but she guessed they were Jedi being attacked by Kiffar. She quickly got up from her table and made her way out cautiously.
By then the two jedi had vanished though the Kiffar still remained. She didn't do anything at that point, cause really what was the point. She leaned against a pole, looking around trying to look casual as she did, she thought she did, well she hoped.
She was looking for those two hoping they were okay, and that they were safe, for now.

With hearing a shot is heard, Karissa turns to face Skye seeing her got shot. She hurried back at Skye who was on the ground in pain. “Skye, come on! Get up!” Karissa yells, helping the young Kiffar up, she notice Skye was shot.
“KARI!” Baxter yells pointing at the Kiffar warrior running up behind Karissa with a gun loaded. Karissa glances over her shoulder, the warrior held his gun up in the air attempting to knock the older teenager. Karissa hesitantly lets go of Skye’s arm, moving her hand towards the Kiffar’s wrist, griping him hard for him to drop his weapon unarmed, Karissa clenched her fist and made a big punch onto the warrior’s nose already she broke his nose, he stumbles back falling to the ground flinching his nose, blood dripping down onto his lip. With his arms pinned down by Karissa’s legs, he grimaces growling as his body under Karissa’ heavy weight on his chest. “GET THEM KARI!” Baxter cheered with proudness at Karissa’s action, he looks at Skye’s shocked reaction. Although, it wasn’t long till Skye discover Karissa’s fighting techniques are similar to the Black Valkyrie. Baxter leans to Skye’s ear, put one hand up covering his mouth and whispers to her “Never pissed her off!”
Karissa grabs the warrior’s rifle where he dropped on the ground behind her; she loaded the gun with a click from it, aims at two snipers on the rooftop giving four rounds of shot at them. One was hit on his leg and another in the shoulder wounded. Kari’s eyes darts to the warrior charging towards her, she drops the rifle, using her aerobatic skills, she leaps up onto the warrior, landed her legs onto the Kiffar’s shoulder, painfully with her leg, she twisted his neck, a bone crack is heard within his neck. The Kiffar yells out in pain, and stumbles down to the ground after Kari jumps up, kicking his head, landed on the ground on one hand and knee.
Karissa sensed two warriors running up behind her, she smirks to herself, leaping up in air before turning around to face them, in a slow motion, two warriors still running up as Kari kicks both warrior at the same time into their face. They both knocked off their balance, landed on the ground, Kari landed down on the ground, rolling forward, pulling out her lightsaber out in her hand. She took a long glare at two warriors before standing up she stood in her stance ignited it, before moving her lightsaber behind showing two violet beams hissed out. Before that, she turns to look at the bounty hunter above her, Kari moves her hands towards the grapple clipped on her belt, throwing it at the bounty hunter and pulls her off the rooftop in time before the bounty hunter can do anything.
She twists her lightsaber around in front of her, deflecting the sniper shots back at the remaining snipers. However one of them got shot instead deflected by Kari’s lightsaber while the other two managed to avoid it. Karissa runs towards and did a Force Jump on the rooftops. Skye could tell Kari is a Jedi Guardian through the Force Jump. Kari turns her attention on the two snipers between her; she took a glance at her side, sensing their weakness. Before the snipers can shot her, Kari ducks rolling to the left, with her lightsaber she slices off the sniper rifle, and kicks two round high in his face. She turned her attention back at the sniper behind her, charging towards him kicking the rifle out of his hand, and elbowed him in the face.
The bounty hunter roses up, shaking her head from dizziness after a fall from the rooftop, her eyes fixed on Skye, she grins, slowly moving herself up, and grabs Skye’s hair “You’re coming with me now, kid” she hisses, holding her captive, in order to make Kari to surrender to the Black Valkyrie. The bounty hunter grips hold of Skye’s hair forcing her to stand up, and held a gunpoint at Skye’s forehead. Baxter lets out a low growl, and lashes up and bites the bounty hunter’s hand. She screams out feeling the sharp teeth sinks in her hand, she shook her head, and throws Baxter towards the wall. Baxter grunted himself hitting on the wall in hurt.
Kari jumps back down on the ground from the rooftop, with her lightsaber ignited, she spun it around her, and parry the next melee attacks, She held her lightsaber pushing them forward and she changed her form to Vaapad, and strikes down the two warriors knocking them off their balance. However, one warrior punched Kari onto her cheek, she threw back, and managed to kick him again. Then the Captain (the group leader) runs forward, trying to knock Kari down, but Kari moves out of the way, out of reach, the Kiffar grab Kari’s arm, kneeling her onto her stomach and backslap Kari onto her cheek again, which could leave a bruise in the morning. She turns back, attempting to slash his arm with her double bladed lightsaber but failed due to armour restriction. He gives Kari three claw scratches across her face. She touches her face, and looks at the blood on her fingers, but she didn’t take notice in fact, she got punch onto her gum. Kari stumbles back, touching her lip. She stares back at the Captain again, and then Kari froze unable to press forward
“Drop your weapon, Half-Breed, or she will die!” the bounty hunter warns, her voice sound loud and threatening, then Kari hears a gun clicked. She slowly turns hating to see behind her eyes widen watching the young Kiffar held at gunpoint by the bounty hunter.
“Don’t hurt her…” Karissa warns angrily, she has to think of the plan to escape and save Skye. She doesn’t want to place Skye in danger but she is young. Karissa couldn’t have to put herself into a bad situation for her to sacrifice her life to protect Skye. Kari tried to move one step but she stood still again.
“One more move, Half-Breed, I will blast your friend’s head off if you refuse to co-operate with the Black Valkyrie!” the bounty hunter held Skye close, clicking her gun again, ignoring her complains. The bounty hunter grips harder pulling Skye’s hair.
Kari has no other choice, then she press forward, running towards the bounty hunter, a shot is heard, Kari fell to the ground half-way through. She landed on the ground with a grunt. She panted heavily in pain. Her vision became blurrily, she slowly looks up at Skye and the bounty hunter, she felt a liquid on the palm of her hand, she stares at it, her hand trembling badly, seeing the her blood visible on there. She felt a heavy pain in her shoulder. Kari roses up on two feet, making another foot forward but this time she got shot again onto her upper leg, causing the Kiffar to fall back to the ground. She gasps out in pain, before she can try to stand again, two Kiffar warriors walks over grabbing hold of Kari’s grips on her arms. Kari gasps in pain due to her wounded shoulder, her cheek covered in small scratch marks, redness on her other side of her face from the backslap she received, and a cut is seen on her lip. She coughed out, turning her attention to the Captain.
“Well, not so tough are you not?” he asks with a smirk staring at the black-hair Kiffar.
Kari shot a death glare at the older Kiffar “Get those schuttas off me!” she growls, struggling to let go of their grip painfully. She gasped as two Kiffars held her arms back and twisted it. The Black Valkyrie Captain rolled his eyes sighed, and looks back at Kari.
“Aah, yes, the pain” he says mockery, leaning in to Kari’s face “Now young lady, you better co-operate while you’re under my care, we will be taking you back to Lord Tolth Retwin this time…” he says, tilting her head at the Black Valkyrie to take Karissa away. They obeyed and dragged Kari away from her friends. The residents moves away once they saw a group of Black Valkyrie warriors, two of them lead the way and the other two held their shock rifles behind Karissa's back in case she freed herself, as the Kiffars puts the chains onto Karissa's wirst and pulled her into the small street. People watches in fear, hiding their children and protect themselves.
“Sir, what about this kid here?” the bounty hunter asks made the group leader to turn his attention to Skye and the bounty hunter.
He shrugs his shoulder “Kill her… I have no use for her” he commanded, before turning to leave.
“No! KARI!” Baxter yells out watching his best friend taking away, he couldn’t stand up; he is hurt, and injured his paw. He gasps seeing two Jedi Masters heading their way into the town…

Nya watched on horridly as the Kiffars caught one of the Jedi and started to take her away, she heard the other was to be killed.
Quickly deciding she'd better do something, she walked over to them, in particular to the bounty hunter who was holding the other jedi.
" Excuse me, I was wondering if you could tell me what this word is?" She asked pulling out her datapad and pointing to a word.
" Does it say, I'm going to kick your a$$?" She asked then whipped out her lightsabers wielding them around and slicing the bounty hunters gun in half quickly.
She then quickly jumped over one of the bad guys, as he came to grab her from behind and landed behind him, placing her right lightsaber near his neck.
" Let her go! Or I'll slice his head off!" She said seriously watching the others carefully.

The bounty hunter looks on in shock as her gun was sliced off in half, she then grabs hold of Skye's hair, throwing her to the nearby wall, she watched the lightsaber held to the Captain's neck. The Captain nods his head slowly at the bounty hunter as if to signal her to leave him and take Karissa.
The Captain cleared his throat and looks at the bounty hunter "Go, don't let the Jedi get Karissa this time!" he says "Leave them two to me...."
With that, the bounty hunter kicks Skye leaving her behind and runs off into the street. The Captain grabs Nya's wrist and twist her wrist before flipping her over...
The bounty hunter quickly runs up to catch up with the Black Valkyrie with Karissa held hostage "Come on, let get out of here before more Jedi comes!" she says.
"LET GO OF ME!" Karissa yells struggling to let go and break free of the chains, but she couldn't she is weak and hurt due to her shot wounds on her shoulder and upper leg. She can't breath or move, she is losing conscious due to blood loss. Her visions became blurred.
