By process of elimination, Nar Shaddaa was the first destination on the list of places to search, mainly because it was closer to Aargonar. Ayanna was getting edgy, Darth Vader would surely be wondering about what they were up to, and this was a dangerous place to get mixed up in.

"For your sake as well as my own, I suggest we go in disguise. I think barging into places with our 'we're Sith' hats on doesn't really help much. People clam up and don't say a thing, they are always too afraid. We need to get an act going. And considering your physique, you can be the dominant and I'll be the submissive." She grinned, "Just wait a few minutes, I'll go and see what I can throw together."

Ayanna was not sure what Kalin was going to do, no doubt not a lot but she wanted to make sure she didn't stand out too much, and sadly in the Red Sector of Nar Shaddaa, the way to not stand out too much is to dress as though you wanted to.

She finally emerged from her room, wearing red leather pants that stuck to her hips like glue, and covering her chest, a black boob tube make of plastic shiny material. She donned those along with high platform heels, a drawn on tattoo in the middle of her rib cage and her hair tied up loosely. When she stood in front of Kalin she lifted her hands in the air and twirled around for inspection, "I was going for a 90 credit hooker but I dropped it to 50." She grinned.

She glanced to her arm which was still lightly wrapped up for her healing arm. She groaned as she was going to need to cover it, which she did with some metallic masking tape to look like decoration rather than a bandage.

"That should do, woah!" She said as she tried to keep her balance on her very high platform shoes, "The air is thinner up here, argh, but you're still taller, cheat." She joked as she hid her lightsaber in a pocket to her back.

Kalin didn't put much effort in his disguise. It were mostly women who blended in by standing out. You could find and see men wearing anything. In his Sith cloak he looked like a high-class individual looking for some 'fun'.

At this moment both couldn't sense anything. However Nar Shaddaa was a big place. They knew Li was a bit of a gambler, so the first places they investigated were casinos. Inside 'the Amber Twi'lek' they made their first attempt to locate him. And to avoid to attract suspicion Kalin gambled though with his Force Powers he was able to cheat and even win a great deal of money. That wasn't the only reason he used his Force Powers. He hoped it would attract Li's attention as he would definatly sense he was using the Force. Though it could work both ways. Either it would force him to leave the moon or he would come directly to them. Kalin of course hoped for the latter.

Ayanna tried to slip into the fun of it all, acting like one of those enthusiastic girls who was always encouraging her man just so that her fee for the night would be increased.

"You're doing fabulous, sweetheart!" She said rubbing his arm as though she were petting him. She watched to the other girls in the room, trying to see how they were acting with their 'men'. Though she found some of the things they were doing a little too much, she wasn't sure if she could pluck up the courage to do half the stuff they were up to. But one thing she was certain to do was steal from Kalin's winnings, a trait that every girl there had and it was clear the house watchers knew it too. If she did not go along with the flow, she'd be found out as being too 'wholesome' for this kind of place.

While Kalin looked seriously to his Sabacc hand, Ayanna acting bored merely leaned her head against his shoulder while she ran her fingers up and down the inside of his leg. Something that made her feel so jittery she had to stop herself from shaking. Her eyes still glancing around, she saw some of the strangest acts going on, only making her realize she had to act up to that. Though with some of the alien species she was unsure what they were doing but she knew it was dodgy.

In any normal situation she would sit back and let Kalin play the game, but she was not herself and he was not Kalin in this game they were playing, though it was hard to convince herself of that. A little nervous, she leaned her head up from his shoulder to his neck, where she began to slowly massage a section with her tongue, while still gliding with her fingers on his leg. She knew she was going to hear about this later but at least she felt she was living up to the act, and perhaps an inner fantasy that she tried to deny.

Kalin tried to focus on the game and on locating Li, though Ayanna made it a little more difficult for him in her attempt to be as genuine as possible in her role. Too genuine for his likes. As she stroked his leg, he tried not to place attention to it and acted as if he was 'used' of her doing so. But he already began to fear what she would do next. No matter what she would do he could not afford to lose focus of the game or his disguise would fall apart.

Playing a sleezy hooker was probably not simple for Ayanna, but acting like a horny gambler was certainly not too. Who knew what she was planning next to keep her disguise. If he didn't knew better he would think she was actually having 'fun' in her act. Did she feel annoyed she had to do these.... Things. It didn't look like she was... On the contrary. Well it didn't matter if she had fun in this or not. All what mattered to Kalin was finding Li, though with Ayanna's act, that was going to be more difficult than expected...

Ayanna couldn't detect whether what she was doing was annoying Kalin or not, though she assumed that him being the professional one he would get the game she was playing, otherwise she was in for a real scorning later. Though she still kissed on his neck, the realization that she had just been stroking her hand a little closer to home that she had anticipated caused her to raise up to her feet as she stood before them at the side of the table.

"Gentleman, if you excuse me." She said politely to the men who played the Sabacc game with Kalin, before she turned her attention back to him, "I'll bring you a relaxing drink, 'Master'..." She smiled alluringly before she turned and headed to the bar.

One of the Rodian's in the game laughed at the comment she made with astonishment, "...'Master'? Woah, someone's got it made!" He said with envy before the game continued seriously.

As she stood at the bar waiting for the drink to be served, she looked back to where Kalin was sitting. She tried to stop her face from burning red and instead get a grip on herself. She watched to what the other ladies were doing with their masters, the techniques and the little things they would do, which gave her inspiration but not much encouragement. She was finally served the drink as she clasped it in her hand. Taking a deep breath she returned to where they had been, but instead of sitting beside him, she sat with one leg over and between his as she sat in his chair with him. She presented the drink in front of him,

"Here you are, My Lord, a Dark Side Daiquiri." She said with a seductive voice as she handed it to him before giving a tempting moan as she lay herself back against his shoulder, returning to her original 'duties'.

Kalin gave a sneaky grin, pretending she enjoyed all her small gestures of seduction. Though was he really just pretending or did it all came natural to him, cause the only annoying part was that he lost focus on locating Li, but on the other hand she surely didn't have to stop.

He found it amusing what drink she served him. A 'Dark Side Daiquiri'. It wasn't a drink unfamiliar to him, though he never drank it. He took a gulp and he surely liked the taste of it. Now almost half an hour had passed and there was still no sign of Li. He didn't know if that bothered him the most or Ayanna who still performed her 'duties' on him. She surely liked to act this role out. Too much for the sake of the mission.

Ayanna felt like a mouse in a tiger's cave when it came to these 'acts' she was performing on Kalin for the sake of the mission, but she couldn't deny that she was prolonging it more than was necessary. As she kissed further up and began to nibble and suck on his earlobe, she looked out of the corner of her eye, and her heart stopped. At the bar, standing there with his head down, a glass in one hand, was Li. He clearly had not spotted them or even sensed it from the way he was acting, which was unusually relaxed. In fact she had never seen him that way. He stretched up his hand as he ordered another drink which was then quickly served to him.

While she was already busy with his ear, she whispered to Kalin,

"Master, sorry to disturb but we have 'company'..." She said carefully as she then stopped kissing on his neck and ear but still kept her arms around him for the sake of the game.

Kalin gave for some strange reason a sigh of relief. Then he whispered back, "Yes I felt it... Approach him slowly, but conceal your power so he won't be able to sense you. I think it's the liquor that prevents him from sensing us. It can dim your Force abilities. Luckily I didn't have that much yet."

While Ayanna was slowly approaching Li, Kalin forfeited the game, pretending his cards weren't good enough to continue. He took his winnings and left the other players slightly astonished he had the nerve to leave in the middle of a game.

From the distance Kalin observed how Li would react on Ayanna's presence. She neared the bar, but still Li didn't react. It was all interesting. This could mean it would be a lot easier to capture this monster than expected.

Ayanna at first was nervous to see Li, but memories of recent events concerning her true identity came back to her. She was more powerful than he was. She was the daughter of the Dark Woman, he was the grandson, and a second rate one at that. She felt a burst of confidence spring through her veins, and perhaps a left over buzz from the very entertaining Sabacc game. She sped up her pace before sitting in front of him at the bar. She knew Kalin would see this as reckless, but it was worth a shot. Li looked depressed and she wanted to play on that.

As she had thumped herself down in the seat in front of him, his eyes frowned as he went to look up at the 'slut' who was interrupting him. Until he saw her eyes, her face, then his eyes widened to see her smile.

"Hello gorgeous..." Ayanna smiled sarcastically.

To her surprise, he quickly sprung from her seat and went to walk away from her, desperate to leave the Casino as soon as possible. She quickly went after him, looking around for where Kalin was. She was shocked that he was in essence trying to get away from her, he no doubt sensed a trap, but where was his confidence from before?

Kalin observed how Ayanna approached Li. It wasn't really the approach he would choose for, but so far it did no harm. The Dark Side felt very strong now in this place. But from who was it exactly coming from? Certainly not only from Li. He wasn't strong enough in the Dark Side to leave such a stain in this place. No the Dark Side was also strong in Ayanna which made him worried.

Suddenly Li left the casino. He seemed to be startled by something. He seemed to fear Ayanna now for some reason. Did he realize that she was now stronger than him? Was that the reason he tried to flee? No matter, Kalin quickened his pace and followed Li side by side to Ayanna.

He asked her, "What do you think made him so afraid. He doesn't seem to be himself. I wonder what happened in all the months he managed to stay under the radar..."

"I don't know, but common! He can't get away!" She said before she began to run down the streets after him, with Kalin in pursuit.

Ahead she could see Li dart into another avenue as she tried to follow. Though as they turned, she could see the streets were lined with scum. Li was a few feet ahead of them, now walking. He must have thought he had outrun them, which she found to be a stupid assumption. Though she was not going to be equally so in attempting to have a messy brawl in front of all these people, so she was more cautious as she slide past people.

Li was arching up the back of his collar as he too seemed to try to blend more in these filthy streets, but he was wary as he turned back to look behind him. Before he was able to do so, Ayanna reacted on instinct, the attempt to mix with the crowd, and so in one swift move she grabbed Kalin by the front of his tunic and pulled him towards her as she put her back to one of the walls, and promptly she pulled him closer still to her until their lips were pressed together and she started to kiss him. This act did indeed blend as there were several other couples scattered around doing similar deeds. Though she knew completely well that there were several other things she could have done in an attempt to blend in, this was certainly the one that appealed to her the most, and it would be the last time she would get the excuse to do such a thing without getting toasted with Force Lightning. But for now she was going to enjoy being 'undercover', though she couldn't help but with they were really 'under the covers'.

'Blend in with the crowd, yeah that's all fine, but is 'this' all necessary' Kalin was thinking as Ayanna was kissing him. He seemed to care less about 'blending in' than Ayanna for sure. Was she just afraid. He didn't detect any fear, so he just saw clearly she was just taking some fun in the mission. Where she felt the desire to kiss him, he didn't know. Though this wasn't the first one. They kissed before, however since they never attempted to kiss each other he assumed Ayanna saw it as a mistake. Well that was proven wrong by what she was doing now for sure. He tried to struggle to get his lips lose from her.

"That's nice 'hun', but Li's getting away!" He said sarcy. Taking her by the hand. Though he tried to focus on Li, he didn't miss the grin on her face.

Ayanna felt a little flustered and embarrassed as she was meant to be keeping an eye on Li while she was 'blending in' but he had gotten out of sight, proving that she had been less interested in the mission while kissing him. She could feel her cheeks blush but it egged her on and she sped up, running in front of Kalin through the crowds.

As they neared the end of the alley, she heard something coming from the left as a large metallic barrel was propelled her way, but instinctively she deflected it and with a Force Push sent it hurtling back to where it came from. It seemed to be effective as she heard Li cry out in pain as the barrel had smacked back onto his chest and face.

She then looked to Kalin, nodding slightly to indicate that this was it, she was ready to take him down and capture him. She ran towards where he was seeing him get up from where he had fallen, but he continued to run, only making Ayanna laugh,

"You F***ing coward!!" She hollered after him as she continued to run but she then sent another Force Push after him, lifting him off his feet and crashing him against a wall. She felt satisfaction in that, but she stopped herself. Waiting for Kalin to decide what should be done.

Kalin arrived at the spot where he saw Li trying to get up, though Ayanna was blocking his vision.

"Ayanna! Duck!" Kalin said and she dropped herself to the ground so Kalin could sent out some Force Lightning from his fingertips to prevent Li from getting up.

Walking to him, they could see his wounds were severe. But he had the capacity to heal so fast, so he would recover from this.

"Now we're kinda stuck. How are we gonna get this pile of S*** back to the ship!?" Kalin said annoyed. Li was knocked out cold with the lightning. He guessed Li was feeling too weak to block it, otherwise it wouldn't have worked.

"Well anyway you should be careful with that lightning, you nearly cooked my back!" Ayanna said sarcy.

Kalin looked at her with a grin, "Complaining? And I thought you would enjoy those subtle tingles. Didn't you get a kick out of it?" He replied in the same manner as her.

Ayanna smiled a little, still blushing, she hadn't expected him to come out with a comment like that,

"Eh hem, well eh let's get this Li kebab back to the ship." She said as she carefully kicked him in the leg as his body fell onto his back, still smoking slightly from the Force Lightning, "You're so gonna teach me that!" She said pointing to Kalin.

Ayanna looked down to her stomach, rubbing it slightly, "Dang, my tattoo rubbed away." She said annoyed, but in a funny tone.

Then suddenly, Li let out a very faint and defeated groan as he was starting to come around. Ayanna pouted mockingly as she crouched down to him, "Awww, poor baby..."

She did not seem afraid of him at all anymore, though she couldn't deny he still annoyed her, but not just because of her history with him but also because he sliced off Kalin's arm.

"Poor baby, the karking bastard cut off my arm!" Kalin said laughing "Though I must admit I'm pretty happy with my 'replacement', especially with the crystal inside." He said as he glanced to it.

"Look at him. So pathetic. We could drag him over and pretend he was too drunk to walk himself. I mean he's not dead so if they check him, they'll not get suspicious or anything. And yeah you can definately 'smell' he had some serious amount of alcohol." He said waving his arm because of the stench coming out of Li's mouth.

About the Force lightning, we'll negiotiate about that later. I learned it from Vader. Sometimes I wish I hadn't. It brings you closer to the Dark every time you use it."

Ayanna took up Kalin's advice about dragging Li back to the Thranta,

"Right, take his other arm." She said as she placed one of Li's arms over her shoulder, "About the Force Lightning, I'll only do it when it's funny, I swear. You never know when it could come in handy, surely it has several uses, I bet it would be great for making popcorn." She laughed while struggling to pick up Li and support his weight.

It was not easy carrying Li's sticky carcass through the streets of Nar Shaddaa but at least they didn't stand out. Taking him into the cargo bay and throwing him onto the ground Ayanna panted slightly, wiping the sweat from her forehead. She then began to remove all the belongings from his pockets, and to her surprise there was no lightsaber. She glanced up to Kalin,

"Is he for real? What kind of Dark Jedi does he think he is?"

She threw all of his belongings into the garbage outside as there was nothing useful in anyway, and he certainly wasn't going to need it any long, "Is he going to be secure in here?"

"No if he manages to recover he'll surely could break out using his Force Powers. Someone has to guard him during the whole journey. I'll pilot the ship, you guard him. If he acts funny, don't hesitate and cut off his arms as I said. He'll grow them back anyway."

Ayanna grinned, "Sure, I like the sound of that. It will be my pleasure... master." She said sneakily.

Kalin placed up a face of dissaproval how she kept on that sarcy attitude. Nevertheless she left her with Li in the Cargo Bay, He went to the cocpit and set the course back for Coruscant and hoped Vader would assume they never left the planet.

Ayanna sat overlooking Li who was still groggy but not causing any trouble, but still his occasional moaning was really starting to work on her nerves.

"Oh zip it will you.... I know you're in pain but be in pain quietly." She said folding her arms as she sat herself back, still checking out her groovy new costume which was worryingly starting to grow on her.

Li opened his eyes as he flopped himself over onto his stomach, letting out another groan as he did. He looked up at her while she was quietly whistling as she looked around the rather empty cargo bay, thinking about her Master.

"Argh, why didn't you just kill me!" Li finally spoke as he banged his head on the ground.

Ayanna looked back to him, "Oh be quiet. I'm not interested." She said dismissively.

Li gave a light laugh, "You've changed your tune since I last saw you, I remember you crying and pleading for help." He grinned.

Ayanna returned the expression, "Yes I was doing the same here, crying and pleading for help while we were dragging you back here, you have any idea how badly you smell? It's disgusting!" She said mockingly.

"Pft, laugh all you like, you're still just a weak little girl whose gotten too big for her own boots."

Ayanna seemed annoyed at what he said, "To big for these boots maybe." She said as she lifted up her slutty steletos shoes, "Besides you're one to talk, what the hell happened to you anyway. No lightsaber, running like a coward."

Li groaned, "You shut your mouth! Or I'll shut it for you!"

Ayanna snapped slightly, kicking her chair out from underneath herself as it smacked into his face. She then flipped him over with her foot so that he lay on his back. Igniting her lightsaber, she held it above his neck before she lowered herself down until she was crouching over him. He was panting, looking at her furiously, but he didn't dare move.

"Don't you ever think you are anything more than I am. Because this is your reality, I am above you, and I'm stronger than you could ever dream of being." She said seriously, "If I was a coward, I would kill you now. But I'm not going to do that, your fate will lie solely in Vader's hands. I can only hope that your suffering will not be over too quickly. You have a lot to pay for 'nephew'...."

Li looked to her baffled, not having a clue what she meant with that last comment.

"Ah yes, you don't know do you. I'm not your sister you ignorant prick. I'm your aunt." She grinned, "Now, be a good little boy and keep your comments to yourself. You're either going to Coruscant in one piece or several, either way it makes no difference to me, though I get the impression it makes a big difference for you." She then switched off her lightsaber and stood up, taking her chair back and sitting on it.

Li didn't say anything more, merely biting on the inside of his mouth as he continued to lie in the place Ayanna had flipped him to.
