"LASSY, HELP ME!" a blonde woman in a skimpy dress yelled as she ran behind the long black haired man that had helped RJ.
"PRAISE THE LORD EVERYONE!" Sister Ethea yelled as she hit people with her Bible constantly as she swung around the nightclub, heading back in Abbi's direction now. She saw the blonde haired girl for a moment, and suddenly stopped for a brief moment, staring at her. However, she shook it off, and continued with her beating of people.
Sister Ethea beat several more people with the Bible, before leaping and landing on top of the bar, right nearby Abbi and Ryinn. "The Lord will protect us! Oooh wait till Miss Jinkins hears about this one!" she yelled.
Deej watched more and more people fight, and he punched someone else away. "We have to find the others and get out of here!!!" he shouted to RJ.

"Get away from there, kid!" A hand grabbed the back of her shirt and pulled her into a moderately-safer area. Abbi slid next to him, looking up at the man's face. "Dammit, why are you in a bar?"
The man was huge! Staring down at her with his pale guard-dog eyes and long, puckered scars on his face, Abbi felt she should've known him from somewhere. "People killed my parents on Talravin, then they killed my aunt and uncle and cousins on Corellia, then they blew up the house WitSec put me in, and now I'm here to see if I can somehow track down the idiots and kill them back."
She finished her rant with a slight huff. The man raised an eyebrow. "Really?" he asked sarcastically.
Wow, do I know him from somewhere?
"Yo, Marcus, who's the kid?" a man asked from behind them, just as she got up and ran to the opposite side of the room. She'd spotted RJ, and left the two men behind her in the dust.

RJ nodded. He spotted Niko under and table and pulled him out. "Come on! We've got a path to the front door!"
He looked over at the man again and decided to risk speaking with him. "Hey, Anziar!"
"Don't mistake me with THAT guy. I'm Selas," the man shouted back.
RJ wasn't too wrong, however. The feared dark lord from his RP was by his side in a flash. He handed over a small square and patted him on the shoulder, then tackled a nearby alien.
"What's this?" RJ asked.
"Chocolate!" Anziar shouted back, smirking.
"Get this crazy girl off me!" Selas shouted, reaching for the ever elusive Erin.

"What the HELL are you giving him chocolate for?" A young woman yelled from behind Abbi. She and her companion were both red-heads, but the one that spoke looked enough like Selas to be his daughter.
The other red-head looked around uncertainly. They seemed to be shielded from the fight. "Nait's with Fenix, but I think we should leave!"
"Let me come with you!" Abbi said, running next to Darrina.

Niko saw an opening in the chaos that lead straight to the door. Feeling brave, he took Shimmer by the hand and picked both of them up. "Come on, my Lady in Blue. We're going." he quipped, leading her out "And thanks, by the way for the bottle to the head thing."
Shimmer removed her shoes and switched them out for a pair of converse ones in her bag "Don't mention it."
The two of them along with RJ moved toward the front. There weren't many bottles left to throw, so they didn't have much to dodge, which was good.
"By the way, Houston, this is my acquaintance. O'ulah, but she goes by Shimmer."
Out of nowhere a heavily armed man with muscles chiseled by gods appeared in front of Niko and stopped him. Niko nearly jumped out of his skin, because in addition to having a rifle on his back, an enormous pistol in his hip holster and an assault rifle in his hand, he also had four unusually shaped blades strapped to the top of his left forearm. A ballistic facemask covered his face.
Niko did the first thing that came to his mind. He reached into his waistband and pulled out his scout pistol and pulled the trigger rapidly. CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! Nothing happened!
Flipping up his mask, the man said "It helps if you have a Tibanna gas cartridge in there." and smiled. He was quite ruggedly attractive with a full stubble, defined cheekbones and neck-length hair.
Instead of shooting him back, however, the man just moved past him and sat down at the bar, made himself a whiskey sour and watched the night unfold.
"Damn!" Niko said out loud "That's what I forgot back at the ship!"

RJ shook his head and smirked. "Damn lucky, Niko."
RJ ducked as Erin went flying over his head. She hit the wall and crashed to the floor, a tangle of arms and legs. Selas growled and kept slicing, then kicked the door open. "Out, now!"
Ginelli had vanished, but soon reappeared with a large repeater cannon. He opened fire on the unlucky aliens in his way, cursing them.

Deej finally saw an open door, and he decided to literally sprint for it. Abbi, Niko, and Shimmer were already here, but he had to find the others...he quickly ran and grabbed a drunk Reza, who was luckily nearby, and Ryinn, still behind the bar. "Come on, we have to go now!" Deej yelled.
The fight was continuing, and now that one guy was firing rapidly at everyone. Someone tried to bash Deej over the head, and he clutched it in pain, but just kept on running with everyone else.
"I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU! FOR THE LORD AND MISS JINKINS!" Sister Ethea yelled as she went flying out the door, finally jumping off of the chain.
Deej and all of their group went darting outside, and hundreds of others were running out as well, although the fight was still going on inside, and people were constantly pushing each other as they ran out. It was obvious the chaos was far from over.
Meanwhile, inside....
A woman in blue walked up to the bar, where Blades sat, drinking his whiskey. She had a knife in hand. "Think you could get away from me that easily?" she growled evilly as she chuckled, sitting down beside Blades, waving the knife in his face for a moment.
"No...too little for people like us," the Lady in Blue said as she put it away.
The LiB then pulled out something else: a detonator. She grinned devilishly as she looked at it. "You know one thing we have in common is that we both really like explosions...so with all the fighting going on already...if those goody two shoes people want to put it to an end, lets mix it up and put it to an end." she whispered coldly as she put her finger on the button. "Will either of us make it out? I guess we'll see..."
With that, the Lady in Blue pressed the button, and Ginelli's nightclub went up in a huge explosion.
Outside, Deej was nearly sent flying as the nightclub suddenly exploded! He got up, brushing himself off, and looked around in shock and horror. "What just happened?!?!?!!" he shouted.

Blades narrowed his eyes at the Lady in Blue. "You know something Lady? Countless governments may want to see you scraped off of the pavement. I want you all to myself." Her finger tensed over the button and he flipped his facemask down, leaping from the bar just as the demolition signal was sent.
--
When the explosion first cracked out, Niko was only barely out of the bar. He could feel the heat and expanding pressure rushing towards him and was knocked off of his feet. Tripped up, he flew through the air and tumbled out into the street, hitting it and rolling over the curb and into the gutter like a basketball.
For a few seconds Niko couldn't even move. His limbs felt like they had been crushed in the machine shop's vice. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the club had been reduced to fiery rubble. Pieces of concrete and metal were still raining from the sky and landing around and on top of him, luckily in pretty small amounts.
"What the-? Bleh!" Niko coughed "-hhuuat the hell was THAT?!"
They purposely did it! They hate Naboo-folk.
"I'm gonna have to write an opera solo about this." Shimmer said in a bewildered tone, reaching down "The night I met friends for drinks, danced my heart out, had a decent conversation with a boy... And narrowly escaped the club's explosion. I'll call it 'only in Nar Shaddaa'."
On the rooftops above the clubs Niko thought he heard the ever-so-faint sound of a man screaming "Come on out you blue bitch, it ain't over yet." but shrugged it off and took Shimmer's hand, standing on his feet.

Abbi just stared at the destruction, not comprehending. Rubble littered the street, and the bar next door had caught on fire. Ears ringing from the blast, she just looked at the nightclub with her mouth hanging open, eyes wide and horrified. Her hands were shaking–
–she could remember the explosions that nearly ripped her life away from her, filling the place with smoke and fire. She couldn’t breath, couldn’t hold on. Fire–
–and it seemed as though every cut and burn on her person seemed to throb in reminder. It could’ve been for us. I could’ve killed them all. She stood on unsteady feet and grabbed Deej’s shoulder. “Are you alright?” she asked quietly, trying to master her voice.

"I'm....I'm uh....I'm fine." he said slowly, his head was still hurting a bit, and his neck was still throbbing from when someone had tried to choke him, but at least he was alive. "Did everyone get out? I know some of us did....I think everyone's accounted for....what happened?"
"My goodness THE DEVIL IS ALIVE AND AT WORK!!!" Sister Ethea exclaimed as she looked on at the rubble. "I am going to have to work harder to do the Lord's work! Wait till Miss Jinkins hears!"

"Hell if I know, man. I'm just glad we escaped." Niko stumbled around and caught his balance in Shimmer's arms, quickly distancing himself and continuing "Still though, it got really weird in there for a second didn't it? There was so much commotion it was like a rift was coming apart and alternate universes were colliding in one cataclysmic event."
He and his twi'lek lady-friend stood side by side, looking up at the blasted facade of the building and just taking in the reality of everything that had all of a sudden taken place. Suddenly, Shimmer looked worried "I hope Arruna and her friends managed to get out. I just... I dunno." She leaned over and put her arms around a surprised Niko, who eventually returned it.
And then Niko remembered why this had all happened in the first place. Sister Ethea stood there, letting out the usual "Wait 'till Miss Jinkins hears." that Niko SO enjoyed being beaten over the head with. Heck with Miss Jinkins. Wait 'till Ginelli hears about what that drunk guy is doing to the fire burning inside his wrecked club.
Inside of the facade of the club, another very intoxicated man was relieving himself all over one of the fires burning on the once-expensive carpeting.
Niko let go of Shimmer and rushed over to Abbi's side. "Hey kid, you feeling okay? How are the burns, anything opened back up?"

Abbi's shock must've still been showing on her face, and she tried to put a normal expression on. What is emotion? she asked herself, and as soon as she concentrated on whatever she was feeling it disappeared entirely, leaving behind the hollow husk of its echo. Her voice and face ook on a normal expression, and her eyes roamed the destruction with only a little concern for the inhabitants in it.
"Maybe a few," she said, searching the wreckage with her eyes for his lady-friend. "Doesn't matter, we don't have bacta anyway." A figure moved to her left, and Abbi suddenly grinned in triumph. She tapped Shimmer's shoulder. "That's Arruna, right there. She's okay."

Shimmer sighed and smiled brightly down at Abbi. "Thank you for pointing her out. You're a good little girl. Thank you so much." she said in a big-sisterly way, before turning to Niko "Well thank you for the time you did give me. It was quite fun while it lasted. I'll remember this night long after I've had my crisis therapy."
The two of them laughed at the small joke. Shimmer picked up her bag and walked down the street to join her friends.
"Wait! Shimmer." Niko called out. Shimmer stopped and turned around.
"What?"
"Uh. Well. Maybe tonight wasn't the best example and all..." he scratched nervously under his goggle straps.
"Yes?" Shimmer walked slowly back towards him, looking directly into his eyes.
"Um well. Maybe, sometime... Y'know since you have a workshop here and all and... Well I'm not as in touch with the arts as I'd like to be."
She kept walking and held her gaze.
"So maybe, sometime, I could come by and maybe... Have a look? At your work I mean! Uh your acting and such."
Shimmer took Niko by the left arm and typed something into his device.
"I'd love that. Come by the location anytime, it's an all-day class and we're off evenings. Good night Niko."
Niko waved goodbye as she walked away with her friends. Niko was left standing there, stunned. He looked at the device on his left arm. It was unique and almost completely custom-made. Only someone with electronic experience would know how to operate something of its type.
"She knows how to use my device... She knows how to use my device, Abbi!" Niko ran both hands through his hair and spun down the street singing.
O'ulah!
I've just met a girl named O'ulah
And suddenly I seeeee
She's much more than I thought she'd beeeee!

Only on Nar Shadda...
Abbi sat down away from everybody else after making sure they were okay, taking out her comm. She typed Dason a quick message just telling him they weren't dead yet and there would be no timeframe of arrival. She stood up and walked over to Houston. "Ethea's fault," she muttered gazing at destruction in front of her.

RJ nodded. "Darn that crazy nun." He crossed his arms and watched the burning building as Selas came up next to them, not saying anything. They all watched as the sirens sounded in the distance.
"Well, the fills my crazy qouta for the day." Selas said. "I'm out of here."
With that, the Mandalorian was gone.
"You ok, Abz?" RJ asked, looking over at her.
