Hello Stranga': Malefactor Quest

[Retane]

" I'm telling you, I didn't like the way they looked at me", Arith stated as the two exited the space cab. "I mean who wears white armor that bulky where you can't see their face?"

Retane and Arith had both just entered through the Gate that allowed them passage to the verse called Coruscant and it had been interesting to say the least. Still the Namekian was on edge, because the men that the Dragon Warrior mentioned actually stopped and questioned them. Then, realizing he was, what they call a Prime, let him in without any other questions and apologized. But even he had seen them calling something in.

From there they took a hovering car to their destination. The driver didn't say anything, and Retane had whispered that he had wanted Arith to remain silent. The men from the gate had glanced at Arith, and almost ignored him with what may have been passing glance. Arith, had actually closed his own visor as soon as he saw them. Retane wished he had something to hide his own face, but also wondered if that would have been deemed as hostile. He knew he had to stack out as one of his own kind here most likely, but if he saw others that looked like him, then he would find out that Enroshia was actually lying to him.

" You wear armor, and hid your face as well", The Namek stated as he looked at everyone that scattered about. Retane had been given a brief description of the 'verse' from one of the Storm Troopers. That was what they said they were called. He also got a bit more information about the Omniverse, which he still wasn't sure he believed. Still, for now he had to go with the flow.

"I wear the armor made from a golden dragon's scales that he offered my village. I have all rights to respect my people. Plus I don't trust them, and they wear fake white armor." Arith still wore his helm with his visor down.

Retane couldn't help but admire the man. He cared little and seemed like he was a true warrior, even with his unique personality. He already guessed that keeping him around was taxing his own energy, but having an ally near him while he started exploring an area he didn't know seemed more intelligent. even if he had to handle his weird antics.

"Well you seem to have put a focus on us. We are suppose to get stronger. Not get killed right away." Retane had been glancing around and noticed Storm Troopers patrolling the area. He also noticed a few cameras moving in slow rotation over and over again. "Maybe this was a bad way to start off? How am I suppose to be a mercenary with my face on these cameras? Sure, I can make you leave, but I seem to be one of a kind here. They seem to keep track of Primes. Or try to. So how?"

Arith paused for a moment and Retane seemed to realize it after a few moments and looked back. The golden warrior was starting to remove his helm. "Don't. I don't need you to do that."

"What? You dont wan't me to take this off? Do you think I am ugly? is that it, 'Nova'?" The Golden Warrior cocked his head.

"No. I dont want these cameras seeing your face. I don't trust this place too much and I think we should turn back." Retane answered. This place was just to much for him to handle. Luckily he had given the Troopers the name 'Nova' and Arith had almost said something then but one of the soldiers had made a few movements and it had distracted him.

"Why not?" The Lythian seemed oblivious when he asked.

"Hello Stranga'", a hooded figure called out, almost in a whisper, though he had a strange accent.

Retane turned his head and looked at the fellow he assumed called to him, if was even the Namek that he had called out to. The figure was tall in a dark colored robe. The warrior couldn't even tell if it was blue, black or even purple. Every second, it seemed to change colors so he couldnt decide.

The cloak ran down to his feet. He wore a purple bandanna over his face, just to the top bridge of his nose. On it, were shimmering symbols that glowed on and off at random intervals. On the back of this stranger was a huge pack, a sleeping pack tied on top.

All Retane could do was stop and turn to him and look onward. He stood out, yet people passed him by not giving him a glance. The Namek found this a bit peculiar, and slowly approached, his peripherals looking about to see if anyone was paying attention to him.

Arith approached as well staying silent almost as if observing the situation that was happening, perhaps even judging the masked figure. Still he remained silent.

"What can I sell you today stranga'?" The hooded figure opened up the sides of his cloak to reveal weapons and other battlement items on one side, and the other, he had brochures,maps and a few other trinkets just sitting there.

Retane had to take a few moments and analyze the situation. He saw the picture of a belt that looked like a mercenary could use, as well as a picture of a human looking stronger then he should be and punching someone stronger. He also noticed a few buildings, though he saw one that seemed to camouflage itself in any environment.

"Just touch what you would stranga', and it can be yours."

Retane eyed the rogue for a few moments and touched the three he had his eyes on. He was hell bent on getting stronger, and it seemed even if he died, he would come back to the place of start. Still this was odd, but he decided it couldn't hurt to much.

The strange figure pulled something from his pocket, and it flashed in his eyes. Retane blinked and looked around. The merchant he had just seen, was no longer ter and no one even seemed to notice. Was e imagining things?

Retane looked back and started to say something to his Lythian comrade until a wind picked up and a paper flew straight into his face. The Namek snatched at the paper and moved to throw it away, but paused as he saw a glare and saw that it showed a picture of the stranger and the headline read, "Suspect believed to have access to getting stronger... for a risk"

Retane looked at the rest and there were exact instructions for where to go to get to his level. The Namek looked again back at Arith who just stood there and didn't know what was going on. When the Namek looked back at the paper there was nothing but a a blank sheet. All he could do was blink for a few moments and try ti figure out if he was being tricked or something, but still he kept moving.

He found an elevator which is the one he was instructed to go to but as he reached there, it wound up being filled, and The Horsemen couldn't do anything but wait.

He glanced around quite a bit, each time, Arith was doing something different, either helping and elder with their bags, pointing a younger fellow two different ways, laying down in the middle of the walk way imitating sleep. Retane could only tell himself that the Lythian was at least amusing.

The elevator dinged finally, and as the doors swung open, those waiting on it started piling in. Retane managed to get one of the last spots while they shoved themselves into the cabin. He turned himself to face outward like the others had and looked for Arith before the doors closed. He was no where to be seen. The Namek figured he had dispersed into the shadow mist and would return once called upon again. Still it annoyed him that he would do that in the cameras.

"I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but if you ate beans lately, I suggest you hold all that deep with... Cus if you break beans with me, I'm going to make sure you never do it again."

Retane glanced back at the words, already knowing the voice , and the image of him looking up at a blob of a man could really only make the Namek ask himself two things. 'Where did the big guy come from? And how did Arith get back there?'

The Namek could only hope that the over sized being didn't 'pass beans' and cause Arith to have to attempt to kill him. It would cause to many issues he assumed.

As the ding sounded and the doors opened up and most of the occupants started piling out, The Namek pretty much dashed into the next elevator. It had alot less people. and as turned around, to see Arith dash in beside him he had to ask, " Was that really needed?"

The Golden Warrior shifted his body towards the Namek and paused for a few moments. He straightened up soon after, "Oh the over sized Gremlin? I think he was to fat to even live. But I was actually talking to you. do you see how crowded it was in there?"
