A large spaceport on Hapes where ships are directed to land from orbit and clear security. This spaceport is in the center of Ta'a Chume'Dan and is the most populated spaceport on the planet.

The fruit smeared, bruised and battered, Hapan man with a bloody scarf around his neck and torn up robes ran into the spaceport. "HELP HELP!!!!" He said looking for security. "Of course...always security is around when you don't want them, but god forbid you need them." He moaned as he ran up a flight of stairs. A blaster hit the wall next to his head and fragments of the wall flew.
He took the stars two at a time as he arrived at the top and pushed someone down the stairs. The old man fell and caused a traffic jam that slowed the assassins down a little as they tried to climb over the mass jumble of people that had gotten caught up in the fall.
The one-eyed man and the big nosed man were starting to catch up. They were clearly fighter types and well built and the pretty librarian was getting too tired to run much longer. As he gasped for breath and tried to keep his legs from buckling the men were breathing hard but catching up. At last Ben Rider couldn't run anymore and his knees buckled and he tripped. He looked back in time to see the assassins clearly the steps and the big nosed man pointed at him and drew a knife as he made his way towards the exhausted Hapan male.
Meanwhile the one-eyed man drew a nasty blaster and fired into the air as he ordered people in the spaceport to get lost or they'd be next.

*Ithilwen arrived on Hapes just a few hours ago. Once secured her ship and dealt with bureaucracy she waited for an old contact of hers not far from her ship. After a few it was clear the contact would have been late, so she was just walking around and scanning the crowd when she noticed two black robed guys running after a fruit smeared bundle of rags that was screeching trying to get help.
Shaking her head she followed them until the one eyed guy fired into the air telling everyone to get lost or they'd be next. She raised an eyebrow, then spotted the other one dangerously close to the dirty kid; rolling her eyes, she throws a Force Push at Big nose, while reaching for her saber and stepping toward One eye*
Next for what, Cyclops? A 'Who's ugliest' contest?

"I LOSE!" Ben gasp as he tries to get air as the assassin that was close to him randomly jumped through a glass window and dropped his knife. Ben was confused as to how the man had gotten the ability to jump and fly in that manor when he saw a wolf step out of the crowd.
The one-eyed pirate glared and aimed his blaster at the new comer before seeing the lightsaber. He hesitated for a second before stepping back away from Ithilwen and towards the crowd, "This isn't any of your concern, Jedi. Go away. We aren't messing with the Jedi Order!" He said a little nervousness in his voice.
The big nosed fellow was barely conscious his head spinning from the unexpected throw, the hit into the glass, and the bad landing. He tried to get up, but was still too dizzy to see or get up.

*Ithilwen almost laughs at the assumption, pondering for a moment to make him believe that she was still with the Order, then decides that the truth was just more entertaining. Smirks*
Come now, you know what they say: Jedi can't just 'mind their own business'. You don't look like law enforcers to me, therefore I have to assume this is a random assassination attempt... and I can't just let you guys have fun.
You saw what I did to your pal there, and I haven't even had to touch him...
*sniffs in his direction, wrinkling her nose*
... luckily for me. So, do I have to activate this nice saber or will you two play smart?

The one-eyed man sneers, "You Jedi aren't as tough as you think. Your weak and cowards." He quickly spun and aimed his blaster at an old man's head while keeping an eye (haha look a pun) on Ithilwen. "Get lost or I'll kill the old man." He said with a smirk.

*Ithilwen's face contorts in a (fake) shocked expression just long enough for the man to register it, then she bursts out laughing*
Weak and coward.. said the man who's pointing a blaster to an old man!
*While still laughing she reaches out with her left hand, trying to Force pull the blaster out of his grasp; she activates her saber and shakes her head*
Whoever hired you didn't have much money to spare for qualified thugs, huh.

As expected the blaster flies from the man's hand and he growls angrily. "Whatever...we aren't paid to deal with you or him." The man says with a sneer, "But you better hope a contract doesn't ever open on your head. I'd take it for free."
He looked over at the glass window where the big nosed man was starting to get up. "Hubert! Let's go...we'll deal with the librarian later when he doesn't have a furry Jedi guarding him." He said keeping a glare on Ithilwen the whole time.
Hubert stumbled to his feet and tried to walk away but eventually needed support from the one-eyed man, "Durr...derpa..." Hubert mumbled as he was half-dragged off.
Ben Rider sighed in relief, "Thank you God! I knew you wouldn't let such a wonderful creation be destroyed!" He said looking up as tears of joy filled his eyes.

*Ithilwen snickers*
Oh, sure... I'm shaking in my boots.
*She looks down at her bootless feet, then shrugs*
Good luck on being hired again!
*She deactivates her saber and slips it back in her belt, then she glances at the blaster and pockets it. Looks up at the stairs and hears the kid mumbling something about a wonderful creation. Raising an eyebrow she calls up at him*
Hey, fruitboy! Ugly and Uglier are gone, come down. Are you injured?

Ben Rider finally having gotten a bit of rest gets up and nods tiredly. "Thank you angel! Clearly you are a divine agent sent to protect me!" He said hyperly. "I'm alright thanks to you! An injury to my neck, but its kinda bandaged. Ugly missed anything vital and the arm is only grazed. But they ruined my beautiful outfit. A shame too, but alas we do what we must because we can for the good of all of us except the ones who are dead."
He glanced down at his outfit. "Well, I hope the queen's guards do a better job then I did since they are probably on their way back to the castle. Oh well, back to escaping." He glanced around, "Did you see any ships that were departing Miss Angel? You divine agents always seem to know things."

*Ithilwen raises her eyebrow yet again, wondering if the guy hit his head during the escape or if he was smoking something. Before she could answer her comlink goes off, revealing a message from her contact saying that she had to run, but that she left what Ithilwen was looking for to the Dockmaster, who'd have given it only upon telling him a specific word, included in the transmission. She shrugs and glances at Ben*
Guess the sightseeing tour will wait until next time.
I'm no angel, nor divine... name's Ithilwen. And your name is?
I happen to have a ship and can be on my way in a few minutes. But first... what did you just say about the queen's guards? Who were those guys?

"I'm Ben Rider." He says with a nod, "Good to meet you Lady Ithilwen. I'm the librarian at the palace...well, I was. During my escape from those two assassins they got a good blow on the neck. It'll most likely scar which means I might as well be a crippled, mutant, with three heads." Ben says with a frown, "My perfect beauty...scarred..." He sighed, "Oh yeah, anyways, so while I was working those two ugly little uglies were talking and I over heard them. They were apparently planning on killing the Queen during the ball tonight. I was going to go warn the Queen and I kinda tripped and knocked over a shelf. Then they attacked me, poor me. I was scared to death!"
Ben Rider ran his hands through his hair, "I'd love to warn the queen, but I'm in no way going to be able to get into the palace like this and thanks to that mark even dressed up I probably won't have much luck." He sighed, "Ugh, such a pain. I mean first I get beat up by a group of uglies, then I lose my family sword in the combat, and now I'm forced to run away from home because I'll either get killed or shunned. What a horrible day this is..."

*Ithilwen looks at Ben wide eyed*
They plan to kill the queen and all you think of is a nick on your neck?!
Stay here and warn the authorities, I'll stop Ugly and uglier.
*She turns and runs after the two assassins; they couldn't have gone too far. She takes her saber and as soon as she spots them she yells*
Hey you! Our little fiend told me who you're after.. I'm afraid I have to spoil that plan too. I doubt you'll get smarter but if you surrender now you'll avoid a good deal of pain. So, what do you choose?

"Well, it's not a little nick this is Hapan soci..." He trailed off seeing Ithilwen was already gone. "Uhhh authorities. Right...cause they'll totally listen to a messy bruised up sexy man." He mumbles as he goes to hunt for authorities.
------
"Oh, so Jedi are liars and go back on their words? I thought you said we were free to go. So indecisive." One-eyed Jack says as he steps forwards drawing a vibroblade. "Hubert, go finish the job, I'll deal with the furry."
"Derp.." Hubert mumbles before stumbling off still a little dizzy.
"Now then Jedi, you clearly aren't a Hapan so mind your own business and get lost." He sneers. "That little coward back at the spaceport is a liar and I'd recommend you not trust him. He probably told you we were after somebody else in order to trick you into getting revenge against us. We've already failed our hit on him, so why are you picking a fight with us?" The man lied.

Never said you were free to go.. Not so fast, pal.
*She reaches out with her left hand and yanks Hubert's feet with a Force Pull, then looks at One eye and taps her nose*
I smell your lie from here, while all I smelled with our fruit boy was the dirt on his clothes. Another lesson on Jedi... we don't belong to any government, but help all of them should they need it. I'd say attempting to kill the Queen is a good enough reason to intervene, don't you think?
*She activates her saber*
If you care about all your limbs you should drop that vibroblade now.

As Hubert hit the ground he was completely knocked out this time.
"What happens to the queen is none of your business. You aren't paid, you don't live here. Have you ever lived under a monarchy where one woman can decide your fate and take away your freedom?" He lifted his vibroblade in an aggressive over the head stance and charged forward, "I'll kill you and take that pretty lightsaber of yours. If the Queen of Hapes gets killed by a Jedi we'll see how much people love you then."
As he got close he swung down in a vertical two handed slash from sky-to-ground.

Meanwhile, after the Jedi ran off, Ben Rider glanced around for a restroom. After finding one he washed up, and cleaned the fruit off of him. He tossed the old nasty outfit in the trash and tried on his new one that he had bought during the fight. "Oh yeah, I'm sexy." He said with a nod as he looked in the mirror and popped his collar. "These look even better than those robes I bought yesterday." Then he reached into the pouch on his belt and pulled out his hair gel and slicked it back before combing it into his normal style.
He glanced in the restroom mirror and nodded, "Much better, damn I'm hot." He said with a smile. "Anyways, now that I'm pretty again time to deal with the next important matter...finding a bandage to stop this bleeding..."
The Hapan left the restroom and found a first-aid kit. He quickly bandaged his neck and made sure his popped color hide the injury. Then he decided to go head after the Jedi and see if she needed help.
He was racing towards the entrance to the spaceport when suddenly he stopped. Did his eyes deceive him? He quickly did a double take surprised by what he saw.
"Oh my god! Yes! I'm totally buying that sword. It's definitely pretty!" He paused, "And uh yeah, I'll need a weapon if I'm going to help. I mean, I can't just run unarmed. I should definitely stop and buy this so that I can help. I'm such a kind and selfless person spending my time to buy things to help others." He said to himself as he walked into the store and grabbed the pretty sword. He stood in line waiting his turn as he admired the beautiful craftsmanship of the blade. After a couple minutes it was his turn, he purchased the sword, strapped it to his belt, admired himself in the mirror, and then raced off to help find the Jedi.

If the Queen of Hapes gets killed by a Jedi we'll see how much people love you then." As he got close he swung down in a vertical two handed slash from sky-to-ground. *Ithilwen smirks* If Jedi waited to be paid to do something they'd never do a thing... and nope, but I've seen plenty of governments. Do you think killing off the Queen would change something for the better? Dream on... when a monarch is killed you get even a worse one as replacement, or if no one takes the job you have a nice civil war where the Army fires on the crowd. Either way you get innocent people hurt and killed for who knows how long and no way to know if things would really change once all the graves have been filled. Whoever paid you really has to get smarter if he wants to change things. *She raises her saber quickly grabbing it with both hands and blocks the overhead strike, then pulls up her right knee trying to hit his stomach as hard as possible. As she brings down her leg she pushes up both blades trying to throw him off balance, then smashes down the hilt of her saber against his right collarbone* Kill me? Oh, you can try... *laughs* And don't worry, Jedi have a long history of not being loved. |

One-eyed Jack is nailed hard in the stomach and as he gasp for breath he is unable to block the incoming strike and feels it smash against his collarbone. He crumbles to the ground barely conscious as he mumbles and tries to regain his senses.
----
Ben Rider arrives sword drawn, "I'm here to help mi'lady!" He says with a dramatic cry.

*Ithilwen deactivates her saber ans watches the man crumble down*
Yeah, that's more like it.
*She takes all the weapons both men carry, raising an eyebrow as she hears Ben's yell. She glances over her shoulder*
Were you asking me or the people in the Palace? I'm sure they heard you alright.
Situation's under control here.. now could be a good time for authorities to arrive. You're the native, where can I drop these two?
... And put away that sword, you might cut yourself.
