Dan just rolled his eyes and followed her in. "Why did we come to a club in our armor?" he muttered. "Makes it sorta awkward to dance..."

Caedus followed the both of them before turning to Zorko."I dont know about you Dan, but i for one find her lack of caution disturbing." He did feel akward calling the Grand Admiral of Black Moon by his first name.

Dan shrugged. "I do too, but what I've learned is that you can't really do much about it. The best we can do is follow, and make sure she isn't killed. Don't worry, I have some precautions set up in case things do go south." he said.

Jalua walked over to a small room opposite the main club hall and knocked on the door. Nobody answers so she grabbed her blaster, shot the lock and kicked in the door. Sitting there was two bouncers caught unaware and stuffing their faces with food. Jalua didn't need to stay long, even in her armour she could see the holonet playing behind them and what it was showing over Zeltros. "Thanks, just what i needed" she said and walked back out again to their amazement. Heading to Dan and Caedus, who she found after some searching, she indicated upwards like the 'bodyguard' had done before. "They are here, blockading the planet. It's time to create some fire". Indicating for them to follow, she exited the main club and found Lauren there with most of her squad, they now had weapons at the ready. "Jalua, what's wrong?" Lauren asked, showing a little bit of concern but her face was now deadly serious, no more joking around. "Imperial Blockade, let's return and get what we need to fight them" she said, in such terms that Lauren agreed with. "Okay, sounds good to me. Let's move it people" Lauren shouted above the noise, and with that the group headed back to get their stuff.
It didn't take long, the JRF had brought their armour along with them, for some reason Jalua didn't understand, and they were equipping it now. With the design just a much improved version of the Coalition's Naval and Land Armour, it did make them look like futuristic soldiers. Jalua was already in armour, but had her lightsaber on her belt and a rifle over her back for when she needed it. She also had two hand blasters ready to shoot if the time came for them. She expected Dan might have some sort of added protection with the stuff he had brought, but she wasn't sure if Caedus would put on any extra protection at all.

Dan quickly took off his AVALON armor and reached into the wardrobe, where he had stored the new armor. Holding it up, he said, "This, ladies and gents, is the AVALON Mk. III.
AVALON Mark III SpecOps Tactical Shielded Armor: An experimental new version of the classic AVALON armor developed by Black Moon R&D for use by Black Moon forces. The Armor isn't currently in heavy circulation, as it's still a prototype, and some of the bugs are still being worked out. The armor's over-all construction is entirely similar to the previous Mark I AVALON armor, though on the helmet, instead of the usual V shaped visor, a broad curving polarized visor wrapping around the 'face' of the helm and covering from the forehead to just below the nose, is in place. The primary upgrade between the Mark I, Mark II AVALON/s, and Mark III is that the Mark III comes equipped with a very light personal energy shield. This shield can either be set for 'hit detection', which activates whenever the armor detects oncoming hazards, or set to be always on. Hit Detection mode is more power efficient, but wont protect against attacks to fast for the armor's sensors or that it doesn't detect, and is useless if they are damaged, but running the shield at all times will drain the on-board power supply faster. The energy shield is enough to block several direct hits from almost all personal weapons, and can even absorb the splash from a grenade or missile detonation. Once the shield has reached it's limit to absorb damage, the shield falls while it's systems recharge, taking a few minutes or longer depending on how much damage the wearer has taken. The shields can be fast recharged, but this degrades the over-all power of the shield, and after repeated instant recharges reducing the strength of the shield. Because of the prototype shield design, the actual protective plating for the armor is thinner, but because of the shield, it's actual protective abilities come out as slightly higher than the Mark I. Additionally, the shield means that in the case of the Mark III, Active Camouflage is a viable battlefield option, since the shield protects the wearer from light impacts, protecting the delicate camouflage layer, which is standard on the Mark III. However, due to the shields, the built-in power fist system has been removed, but can easily be replaced, if throwing shield-hardened power-punches is your thing. Other than those modifications, the Mark III is basically like a mix of the Mark I AVALON Armor, and the Mark II AVALON/s armor."
Dan started to put it on. "It's still a prototype, and this is 1 of 2 sets in existance, so please, let's try to not get it destroyed."
When he finished the armor, he reached into the wardrobe again and pulled out a long, armored case. He opened the clasps, which activated the secondary measures, of which a handprint analyzer slid out. Placing his hand on the reader, it scanned its hand, recognized it, and disabled the internal locks. In the case were a few weapons that he had brought along for the trip. He pulled out a big gun with what appeared to be multiple barrels.
"THOR Vulcan Cannon: A triangular three-barreled weapon that magnetically fires solid projectiles at a rapid rate. Originally designed to be a supplement to CAMELOT Gunships, the weapon is also highly effective on the ground as anti-infantry or even light anti-armor. The THOR typically fires explosive tipped rounds, which due little against armor equipped to resist it, but are highly effective against most else. The THOR system can have a backpack power supply, but more frequently is equipped with an on-board reactor, which limits the maneuverability of the weapon, but still gives the user better mobility."
He hefted it over beside him, and pulled out another rifle.
"OS-15 Blaster Rifle: A prototype rifle made for Black Moon forces. The weapon is rather boxy in design, rectangular (Think like an FN P90), which works well in tight spaces. The weapon is pretty compact, with a slim rectangular power-pack. The OS-15 concentrates the blaster bolt allowing for less pull when firing, for more accuracy and for more armor penetration, and for more range. This does mean that they expend ammunition faster. The Civilian models are only going to be semi-automatic and with smaller ammunition capacity, but full military models are fully-automatic with burst-fire, and can be easily modified with scopes or bayonets."
He placed it next to the THOR. "Don't ask what happened with the first 14 tries with the OS rifle. Anyways, these are all prototypes, so they may have a few bugs, but R&D thinks they got most of them out."

Caedus simply stared. It seemed that the Black Moon military had been alot more productive than would be expected. Never fails......the jedi were not intended to be soldiers, yet here we are once again. The jedi knight adjusted his saber on his belt. His skills as a jedi would just have to be enough. He had left his Mandalorian armor on their ship.

"Right then" Jalua said eagerly, "Let's get out there". She turned in her armour and walked out to see the Ten of the Joint Reaction Force waiting for them fully equipped with their own weapons and armour. "Colonel Iram, we'll need to send out the distress signal, let's get to the nearest holonet transceiver". Saluting, her sister in full military protocal turned and ordered her troops to follow. The group then walked out of the building and into the streets. The thirteen of them began to take a steady run down the streets towards the nearest station where they would defend the building and send out the rallying signal. Although maybe not the best planet since it was full of drugged and drunk, a portion of the population still had military training and weapons at their homes since the Coalition was in a state of war. The rallying cry would send out a clear message to those living here that they couldn't just sit back and wait for the blockade to end, that the Imperials had set foot on Zeltros and they were going to fight back. Not only that, it couldn't be better timing. The Empress hadn't been seen publically and not many knew she had returned, to fight alongside the citizens at the height of their troubles would be a good enough morale boost for them to put up a good fight.

Dan activated his helmet, which was still trying to sort itself out. "Oh c'mon..." he muttered to himself as they ran. Suddenly, the thermal imaging setting switched on and refused to turn itself off. "Son of a..." he swore, smacking the side of his head in frustration. As he tried to turn it off, a flicker of movement caught his attention out of the corner of his eye. "Hold up!" he yelled to the rest of the group, and skidded to a stop. "Uncloak!" he yelled, and pulled off his helmet.
There in front of his eyes appeared 6 Reapers in AVALON/s armor. Dan was furious. "What are you doing here? I ordered you to remain behind!" One of the Reapers pulled off his helmet. It was Don Azul, leader of Dan's security division. "That's not true sir. You said you didn't want to see us while you were on this trip. Have you seen us?" Dan sighed. "No... But that is still a poor excuse. Just who else is here?" "Only us, sir." said Don. "It was all we could fit into what space was left in that cargo hold. How did you see us anyways?" Dan held up the helmet. "Got stuck on thermal imaging." "Ahhh... That explains it, since the AVALON/s can't hide thermal signatures. If I may sir?" said Don as he took the helmet. He opened a door on the side, and played with the circuits a bit. "Here you go sir. All fixed." he said, and handed Dan the helmet back. Dan snorted. "Suppose it helps that you helped design the armor." "From the bottom up." Don said. "Now we have Imps coming?" "Right." said Dan. "You're with us. Lets go." He indicated to everyone else that they could start moving again.

Caedus eyed the elite warriors that stood in front of him. He did find it a bit funny that Black Moon's elite force would be out galavanting on Zeltros.

Back on the streets, Jalua and the others exited to find men and women saying goodbye to their families, equipped with weapons and whatever armour they could get their hands on. A few saw Jalua and gathered around her, kneeling on the floor with their right arm on the ground. She placed her helmet on her head and walked forwards, the civilians got up and followed her. "Lauren, where is the nearest Imperial deployment?" she asked, seeing her sister walk next to her. It took some time but eventually Lauren could respond, "A mile west of here, they are trying to take Parliament for the system". Jalua nodded and with a simple turn of her head, found West and proceeded forwards down the next turning. More and more civilians was joining in with the march and from what started as less than one hundred people was turning into thousands. They had mismatching weapons, little armour and no rank. What they did have however, was determination.
Soon enough, the sight of several walkers and a legion of stormtroopers appeared on the horizon. Jalua stopped, on a bit of a hill looking down through the streets at the Imperial Forces gathering. By the turning of the walkers it was clear that they had been spotted. Reaching out into the force, Jalua seeked an answer, fight now or wait? The answer came to her in an unexpected way.

OOC: Gonna take a point of view of a stormtrooper for a moment.
From within his helmet, this stormtrooper was looking at the hill. Glancing either side of him, lines of stormtroopers with walkers backing them up could be seen. From what was appearing on that hill was little more than a rabble of people armed with weapons, this was going to be more fun than he originally thought. Joining the pace, the legion began to walk forwards, towards the resistance force which looked like a single line upon the hill. He was so taken up in the moment that for an instant, he didn't realise the legion had suddenly came to a halt. Looking up at the hill, he spotted the beginning of a dark shape.
What was stretching low over the hill, over the defenders was the MCAV. None of these had ever seen this type of battleship before, and it looked purely menacing in size and design. The stormtroopers quickly was the shadow approaching and once covered completely, their morale suffered a huge drop when they saw the true size of the attackers.
