Trax glances over your shoulder, his black eyes peering out from his green pruney face... and quickly backs up as Stathos lays a hand on your shoulder to prevent you going any closer to The New Beginning.
"Alright, I've had enough of this," Stathos says. "You're coming back to the living area with me..."
Your violent intentions are impossible to keep to yourself without better control, and so Stathos has braced himself when your fist connects with his sternum solidly. He grunts as you force the air from his lungs for a brief moment, but he does not stagger back. Not quite what you had hoped for.
Trax hurriedly moves into the ship as Stathos responds with Channel.
Stathos is a skilled Jedi Knight, but he does not have that fighter's instinct that you do. His hands lashes out in a vicious karate chop toward your shoulder, but you interpose your arm and twist his blow aside before pulling him straight into your Headbutt. It connects solidly with his shoulder and he staggers back.
Then you turn and make a dash for the on-ramp of The New Beginning... but you stumble as Stathos activates a Reaction Push, tripping you up just as you reach the ramp. He then taps into his reserves and Speeds off ahead of you, putting himself in your way.
The engines of The New Beginning are powering up.
Not only is Stathos braced and ready for it, but he employs another Reaction Push to combat your attempt. In this he is superior; Xavier, being the swordsman that he is, is not designed for conflicts of Force power. Stathos causes you to take a few steps back to balance yourself when his push knocks your push back on yourself.
Stathos is not on the ramp, just in front of it.
It is rather fierce when Xavier charges someone down. Stathos is physically impressive, but Xavier has height and strength on his side. Just before you close with the Jedi, you kick yourself up into the air and launch a straight-legged kick towards his chest.
Hmm... a 3. A miss.
Stathos propels himself backwards with notable agility and catches your leg, one hand on your ankle and the other on your thigh. He pushes against your thigh so that he spins you around and tosses you, with a Throw, into the opening of the hangar.
You slide to a halt on the ledge. As you get to your feet, Stathos ignites his lightsaber and holds it towards you.
"Stop this!" Stathos urges. "You are only hurting yourself!"
The New Beginning rumbles and slowly nudges out of the hangar, over your head.
You are only hurting the Galaxy
"You are only hurting the Galaxy."
We shall rescue it from the threat of Friste
"We shall rescue it from the threat of Friste."
Now get out of our way
"Now get out of our way."
Xavier ignites his green lightsaber and holds it over his head.
Ok then the plan is to hold of Stathos for a bit and wait for the New Beginning to start to head out then use Master Jump to make it on the ramp.
Up you go! Stathos' last act before you escape him is yet another Combat Push in an attempt to throw off your leap. Instead of landing neatly on the ramp, you miss and just barely manage to catch the edge of the ramp as The New Beginning leaves the hangar and suspends you over the ecumenopolis of Coruscant, several hundred feet up in the air.
But you easily manage to hoist yourself up and roll onto the ramp. It closes behind you.
"Are you aboard, Xavier?" Trax asks, via comm.
Trax thinks for a moment.
"Shipyards? Unlikely, in that area of space. But... I do know where Svidrigailov used to send other vessels in his fleet. The Trade never took damage during my time on it, that damnable ship, but all the other, smaller craft, like the Ravaging Claw, those were hit frequently.
"Do you know of the junk world, Raxus Prime?"
Trax brings up a display of the Galaxy.
Raxus Prime, he says, is a world packed with toxic debris. Not wanting to pollute their worlds with junk and debris from galactic warfare, the Republic chose Raxus Prime as the candidate for storing away their scrap. It has never been officially used, nor has it been used in some time, but over the thousands of years that it was used as a dumping ground, millions of tons of wreckage has accumulated there.
Sometimes the officials in charge of monitoring debris deposits sell scrap to those wanting it out in the Rim worlds. Even Svidrigailov paid, knowing the benefit of not having the officials at Raxus disliking him.
"We can question the officials if the Ravaging Claw has been through," Trax says. "They do repair work as well, if you pay them well enough."
