[b]"Cor if you can get us up, I can still use the ventral turret, give me a shot at that sail barge!"[/b] she told him as she headed for the gunner's ladder. Sliding down the handrails she readied the systems. Out the view-port she could see the mercenaries mounting up for a second attack. Ruu aimed the cannons at the nearest of thugs. They were no match against the [i]Krayt Fang's[/i] laser cannons. The huntress mowed down as many as she could. [b]"Eat laser!"[/b] she said taking out over a dozen mercs. Suddenly the [i]Krayt Fang[/i] lifted as Cor took the ship up as Ruu had ordered, tilting the ship just enough for the huntress to have her shot at the sail barge. She took her aim and swept fire across the deck hitting the line of attackers, sending the crew members flying across the deck, then she swept fire down towards one of the vessel's repulsorlift steering vanes. The vane was torn apart by Ruu's blasts from the ventral laser cannons. The [i]Hutt's Shadow[/i] lost control of her pursuit and spun wildly towards the sandy Dune Sea, but before it crashed the gunners operating the two heavy laser cannons had just enough time to send a volley at the [i]Krayt Fang[/i] sending both craft crashing into the sand. The [i]Hutt's Shadow[/i] crashed into the remaining mercenaries who were scrambling to get out of the way of the sail barge. Black smoke filled the air. There were only a handful of survivors of Teemo's thugs. Ruu had done the smart thing and abandoned the ventral turret before the ship crashed, but she was unable to secure herself before it did. The force sent her sprawling down the corridor towards the cockpit she hit the wall then the floor pretty hard. It was a good thing she was wearing armor, but it was painful, and not something she would volunteer, Black smoke filled the inside of the ship, there was a fire somewhere, and Ruu figured it was time to ditch the ship. She made her way to the door following the smuggler and the coughing, old twi'lek outside. The fugitives shared only a moment of relief before they were faced with a team of persistent mercenaries. It was a standoff. Standing before them, weapons at the ready stood, a [url=http://www.rebelscum.com/swsaga/sw0407landoskiffloose-m.jpg]man[/url] in Tantel armor and short sleeved shirt underneath that revealing his tattoos, he was armed with a vibro-lance and blaster pistol holstered at his side. The man was flanked by a pair of [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nikto?file=NalHuttaNiktoEnforcer-FAE.png]Nikto[/url] enforcers. Next stood a cryptically cloaked [url=http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20061130131415/starwars/images/c/cf/Kubaz_NEGAS.jpg]Kubaz[/url] with a blaster rifle. [b]"It has begun"[/b] the Kubaz said to himself. A big, burly [url=http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110223170016/starwars/images/2/23/Malakili-Circus-Horrificus.jpg]human[/url] mercenary stood shirtless and tanned by the twin suns stood with his blaster rifle ready to go, he spat at the ground in front of him, staring menacingly at his opponents. [b]"You are coming with us!"[/b] he spoke. Their leader, a [url=http://www.deviantart.com/art/Female-boba-fett-193352149]woman[/url] in full mandalorian iron and bounty hunter type wielding a DLT-20A longblaster. Beneath the green and grey armor of the Mandalorians lies Rana Shulo, a lithe, pale human from the planet of Mandalore. Cold grey eyes peer from beneath the black visor, glaring out at any who dare to look her way. A brown kama, the cloth protecting her legs from debris, is hooked to her belt. Ruu knew this scum, personally. Rana Shulo was her adversary. The mando stood at the front facing Ruusaan. The two females stared each other through their tinted visors. It was a showdown on Tatooine. [b]"Leave the mando to me,"[/b] Ruusaan told the others with hatred in her voice.
