Tarsus chuckled as he simply broke the chains that held him into place. "Good luck," he told the Bounty Hunter as he made his way out. ” Perhaps you and I can go on to a dinner some time," the large Obelisk added as he ran off. Well, it wasn't even a run, but more of a jog. He already knew that she'll be tough, but he's handled worst. After all, he was raised up being a Nerf herder, and handling those beasts aren't a walk in the park. Tarsus was completely confident that he'll survive, but he didn't let it go to his head. He must never underestimate his enemy, even if that enemy was a beautiful gal like right now. With a very strict code of chivalry, he wasn't going to hurt her much. Maybe a push or two, but nothing worse. Tarsus knew one thing, and that is to think like the enemy.

Tarsus stopped by a river bed. He picked up a sharp rock. The Obelisk knew that the Bounty Hunter was good at tracking, but why is she so good was the question in his mind. Quickly, he thought that a tracker was on him. To bad he couldn't use to Force to find it.

Tarsus took up his 30 minute head start slowly feeling his body for the tracker. He finally found it and used the rock to cut the tracker out. Tarsus knew, though, that this wasn't an assured victory. He had a long way to go.

"That's a first," a seductive voice said from behind. Tarsus turned around and saw the beautiful Bounty Hunter had her rifle pointed to his head. “ The man I bought them from said that was impossible... Huh."

Tarsus smiled. “ You ought to pay him a visit.... And get a... 'refund'."

The Bounty Hunter nodded. "That isn't all a bad idea."

Tarsus quickly ripped his shirt off. He ripped it up for a small bandage for the cut, and he thought his muscular structure would help earn his way. Tarsus once was a part time Bounty Hunter, and still is. He had hunted female targets before, and he done so without violence. Tarsus, despite being an Obelisk, was a charmer. He would lure the targets in with his charms. The Obelisk thought he could do the same with her.

"So, what is to be done now? After all, I took out the tracker without the Force."

Simo smiled a little, but her rifle was still aimed at Tarsus' head. "True... True... But the rules remain." She squeezed off a shot, but only for Tarsus to grab the barrel and let the bolt venture into the wilderness. He quickly pulled Simo to him, and he held her tightly in his arms.

"Darling, darling, no need for violence," he said with much charm in his voice.

Simo gave a cute chuckle. "You're quite the charmer," she said as she got loose. The rifle came to Tarsus' chest, but he was able to swap it out of her hand.

"I try to be," he said as he winked. He got into the Broken Gate stance. Simo gave a quick kick to the gut, but Tarsus didn't even budge. She quickly gave Tarsus several quick jabs, but the Obelisk was quick to block the attacks. Both soon were engaged in a fighting dance, Tarsus being on the defensive and Simo on the offensive. They danced around for a good five minutes. Tarsus finally grabbed Simo's hand. He quickly spun her around as if in a waltz. Quickly, he let her drop but quickly caught her in his arm. Simo flipped over Tarsus' arm. The Obelisk quickly spun around to face the beautiful Bounty Hunter. Both were breathing heavily.

Simo smiled. “You're really good."

Tarsus smiled back. “Only if you knew," he said as he winked and Simo giggled. The Bounty Hunter quickly kissed Tarsus' cheek and winked before running off. Tarsus couldn't help but chuckle as he made his way to his ship. The Obelisk knew they'll run into each other again one day.

Brimstone took off like a bat out of hell. As he got outside, he quickly assured he wasn't on the last planet he was at. As he headed into the wilderness, knowing he was unable to feel his connection to the Force, he tried to get as far away as possible from this Bounty Hunter. Once he felt he was about a half a kilometer away, he catched his breath and started figuring out where he was at.

He looked towards the skies and saw that there was a large green planet looming overhead. "Ok let's see" he said to himself as he started drawing with a stick in the mud. "If I am position the stars here, and the planet here, I take it I am on a moon near it, from my estimation..." Brimstone then realized where he was at. "K'tah! I am on freaking Endor. Stang, nothing but little bear folks around that would have no problems eating my blue hide."

A shot rang out from the distance, and the direction of his pursuer, Apparently, she was alerting him that the hunt has begun. Brimstone looked around and gathered wild moss and berries from the vegetation. He knew how to make anti-toxins to remove the after-effects of drugs in his system. That's was what was learned from the Ascendancy. He then stripped off his white uniform, turned it inside out, revealing a black uniform, and put them back on. As he proceeded to mash the concoction together, he held his breath and swallowed the mixture down. He knew it would take a few minutes for his system to digest it and start working.

The bounty hunter was on her way towards his location, following his footsteps over the mud and moss of the landscape. "This is all too easy" she thought to herself. She was hoping for a challenge, but this Dark Jedi was making it too easy for her.

Brimstone found an enclave of downed trees and crawled into its shelter. He grabbed some vines and a sturdy branch and proceed to make a makeshift weapon like a spear. As the minutes dragged on, the effects of the anti-toxin started to work. He connection to the Force was slowly returning, and as it did, he felt her presence about 100 meters from him. He levitated a rock and hurled it the opposite direction. From the sound it made when it his the ground, he was alerted that she heard it and headed off to investigate its source. He knew this was his chance to work it against her. He crawled out of his hiding spot and climbed up a tree. Looking around the landscape, he could see that his foot steps was left behind where she was tracking him, so he silently leapt from tree to tree, headed back to the location he first met her.

As he found the ship she was using, he could sense that she wasn't to far along and would soon be up on him and it was over. He didn't have his trusty lightsaber to deflect any shots towards him. But his connection to the Force was coming back. He proceed to hide himself in an area near the landing zone and wait her out. but before then, he placed his makeshift spear to another area and kept track of it. He knew he had only one chance to catch her off guard, and was sure, she had no connection to the Force to detect him or what he was going to do next.

As she came out to the clearing, using the force, he lifted the makeshift spear and hurled it towards her, missing her my a foot. She spun around and open fire in its direction. As she stood there with her rifle pointed in that direction, Brimstone stood up and hurled a Spear of Midnight Black at her. It went undetected and hit her squarely in her back. She whelped in sudden pain and she dropped to the ground. Brim then hurled another one at her for good measure. He then slowly made his way to her. She tried to reach for her weapon, but Brimstone stomped hard on her arm, crushing and shattering her bones with tremendous force.

"You forget your place, bounty hunter. I am a Sith. You may have caught me aware to bring me here, but we are unrelentless."

She looked up at him. "Before you kill me, I need to know how you did it."

"I am a Plaguesian. We have powers that no others have. And ones very few can detect. I am also a Chiss. I was trained to survive in the wilderness. Your mistake was to think I was a fool and an easy prey" he continued. "But I don't plan to kill you. Instead, I make an offer. I let you live, you work for me."

"Hmmm, let's see, interesting choice. Death or Life? Hmmm, duh, like I'm going to not accept.

Brimstone reached down with an extended hand and pulled the bounty hunter up from the ground. "I thought you would see it my way."
