Kas had just finnished talking, when the explosion shook the building. A tearing screeching sound was heard, and the roof caved in. The bartender was killed in an instant, as well as several of the patrons on the south side of the bar.

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> I think it is time to leave Ren, it looks like someone is having too much fun with his new toy.<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

*I most heartly agree Kas, let's go*

The two scrambled through the debre, and into the open air.
The trail from the rocket was plain to see in the sky, and it lead straight west.

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Foolish foolish triggerhappy nut. The local authoritys will have him locked up fast.
Come on Ren, I feel a force user in the bar, we should check it out before anyone comes.
<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

Back in they went...

Ren gazed into the sky and looked to the hills from where the rocket had come, the black smoke trail cutting the blue sky in half.

Kas mentioned another force user still in the bar, stuck under some of the debris.

The pair ventured back into the smole filled doorway of the bar hoping to rescue whoever was trapped inside. Ren reached out with his mind, using the force as a guide to the casualties.
Scanning the room he picked up the other force signature, but it was faint.

<font color=lime>"Kas come quickly! Over here!!"

<font color=white> He came running over to where Ren was standing.

<font color=lime> "Here Kas, help me shift some of this debris."

<font color=white> Ren's hands waved about over the pile of lumber and metal, telekenetically moving the objects out of the way. They could see the man but he was stuck under a large construction beam.

Ren unclipped his lightsaber from his belt and ignited it.

<font color=lime>"I hope this works." <font color=white>Ren thought as he swiped at the beam, cleaving it in two.

<font color=lime>"Kas, help me carry him out of here. I dont think the rest of this roof is gonna hold much longer."

<font color=white> Ren put one of Corran's arms over his shoulder and the other went to Kas, but when he looked up he could not see the exit. Even with all the light shining in from the fallen roof neither he nor Kas could see past the thick suffocating smoke blocking their path and time and oxygen were running out.

The smoke closed around them, choking off the air, and forcing them to the ground. They could bairly see a foot, and only two of the three could move.

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Janggar! That wasn't the best idea cutting that! <!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

**Sure sure, blame it on the Jedi will ya**

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Left Janggar, Left, go left.<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

**Foward is out fool, I can feel the people, we go foward**

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> I go left Janggar, come after me when you get corran out. My foot just went into a cavern in the ground. I think this is why the bar was fired on.<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

**mrmmmrr bull headed hilw dmutter mutte jerk blated rrrrrr**

The floor began to creek and groan under the trio's feet.


<font color=lime>"I've got a bad feeling about this."<font color=white> Cautioned Ren.

Just then the floor began to crack and bend beneath rens boots. Floorboards buckled and wood broak and with one final snap the floor gave way, taking Ren and Corran down too.

Ren and Corran hit the floor with an Uncerimoneous thud.
Althought there was little smoke down here, only dust Ren still couldnt see a thing.

<font color=lime>"Hey kas!! Can you give us a hand down here!?"<font color=white>

After the fall Corran began to stir . . .

(OOC:Hey corran you are awake now so you cna get involved if you'd like. I wasnt sure if you'd post so I kept you unconsious for the time being. Join in now though!!)

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Help you say? Help. Hmm, sure<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

Kas walked up, a glowlight in his hand. Grabbing Ren's hand he hoisted him to an upright posision. Corran stired, moaned and dropped back to the ground.

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Better use a Jedi trick to wake him, I for one am not going to carry a man on my back in a tunnel<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

As Ren turned to help Corran, Kas surveyed the situation. The cavern they had fallen into was constructed by humanoids, for he could see that it was just the correct hight and width. Tunnels streached on to the east and west, and a small hole went furthar down. Looking about a strange feeling overcame Kas. His head throbbed, and a scream seemed to echo inside his chest. It pointed left with a stab of pain, and he looked left. A blank wall.
Standing, he walked to the wall. He streached his hand out.

Ren snapped his head around at the strange ripple he felt through the force. He stared as he saw Kas slip his hand <!--EZCODE UNDERLINE START--> through<!--EZCODE UNDERLINE END--> a solid wall, and then back out again.

Kas stared. He put his hand in the wall, and removed it. Nothing. Not a thing. It was like a holograph, but it didn't have any static interferance. He turned to see Ren and a dazed Corran standing next to him.

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Ren, buddy, I think this is somthing for a Jedi to look into first. <!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

OOC: Ren, just go through the wall. Corran, glad you could make it. Please don't post like you did in that last post. I could hardly read it. ;)

Ren was attendeding to Corran when he felt a wave of force energy flow over him causing him to jerk up and face Kas. He was stunned when he stared at the man as he had one hand stuck through a solid wall of stone.

<font color=blue>"Ren, buddy, I think this is somthing for a Jedi to look into first." <font color=white> Said Kas.


Ren left Corran propped up against a nearby wall and walked over to the wall where Kas was standing. He then proceeded to place his hands together and close his eyes, enabling him to focus on the force. He felt the force flow through the opening in the wall into him. Ren stretched out using the force as a guide through the dark place.

At first there was only a feeling of emptieness coming from the gap, then suddenly Ren was thrown back, breaking his meditation. It was like someone had jabbed a red hot lightsaber in his brain.
Ren began to shiver and tremble.

He looked up at Kas and said <font color=lime>" There's something not right on the other side of that wall, it . . .it wont let me see it, but, it's not good."

Looking behind him, Dengro could see the black plume of smoke that belloed out from the centre of Mos Eisly, it filled him with an enormous sense of satisfaction.

Mangar, picked up the pace and kicked his swoop into high gear.

His ship was parked near the edge of town, somehow he had been able to get a hold of one of those firespray patrol ships, an old hunk of junk which in his current state of wealth was pretty cheap. However it served his purposes. He had packed it full with all the weaponary he could muster, this time Janggar would be the one on the recieving end of a laser blast.

..........................................

The ship entered orbit over tatooine, blasting out of the atmosphere. Mangar quickly tapped a coded message into the transmitter and broadcast it. After a few seconds a reply appeared on his veiwscreen, a pair of co-ordinates and an acces code flashed up. The captan proceeded to feed the coordinates into the nav computer and get on his way.

..........................................

The Firespray came to a complete halt over Adriana, a gas giant not far from Tatooine. The Captain engaged silent running and input the access code into the computer waiting for a response.
<font color=purple>"Come on, come on,what's taking so @#%$ long?" <font color=white> Muttered Magar impatiently.


A shrill whispy voice came over the comm system, <font color=red>
"Why, Captain Mangar, we weren't sssure you were going to ssshow up, releassse control of your ssship to usss an we will bring you in."

<font color=white> Above the Firespray an energy pattern eminated in space, small crackles and bolts of energy seared out towards the firespray, in a bright flash an Interdictor Cruiser uncloaked above Dengro, casting an ungodly shadow over his little ship.

The firespray began to rumble slightly as it became locked into the ship's tractor beam, and slowly it was pulled in.

Kas looked at the wall. He felt nothing when he put his hand through, nothing at all. Where as Ren was repulsed, he, Kas, and none force user, felt nothing.
He thought back as far as he could remember. This was like nothing he had ever felt.
On a sudden impulse:

**Kas NO!**

Ren gaped. Kas was gone, gone from sight, and . . . gone . . . . from the force?

Corran groggily came to his senses just in time to hear Ren yell "Kas NO!" Almost instinctively Corran reached out into the force trying to feel Kas. He sensed him for a second and then he was......gone. This was enough of a surprise to get Corran's adrenaline going and the quick boost made himself feel almost normal. Aside from a splitting headache that is. Quickly he jumped to his feet and winced as a wave of nausea poured over him. Quickly he shut himself off from the pain ignoring the weird sensations it provoked in him including the urge to vomit.

"R-Ren? What's wrong? I felt Kas for a second and then he was gone. Where did he go what happened?" asked Corran know feeling good and normal after shutting himeself off from the pain. Aside from the fact that there was no feeling in his head. but that was just a unfortunate side effect.
