Abafar Exploration

[Demitry Draskovits]

Demitry whirled around the moment Salis leapt at him. He whirled his lightsaber around and managed to block the majority of the blocks, but a few slipped through and collided with his shoulders and upper arms. His thick coat managed to make the daggers damage even lesser, but it did draw blood from his upper back. He was annoyed at this point, and he leapt towards Salis. He ignited a second lightsaber, dual wielding now. His fighting technique was loosely based off of Jar'kai, but with his own twist. One of his lightsabers whirled around wildly, trying to connect with any part of Salis' body that he could, while the other made slower and more reserved movements, so that he could quickly move it back to defend himself.

"Give us the holocron!"

[Iniquitous Ren]

Iniquitous winced in pain as currents of force lightning tore through her and fried her flesh. She attempted to hide her pain but it was of no use flashes of her skeleton followed by sparks emitting off her body caused her to kneel down on one knee from pain.

"You know not of what you speak child..."

She began to rise to her feet and reignite her saber in the process its gold edged finish shining in the light. Her eyes had gone a full Sith yellow as she gave a menacing smile towards her adversary. She pulled a hood over her head as one could mistake her body began to decay. She paced slowly towards [member="Orex Mauda"].

"But I am a master in anything i commit myself too. But you your a child drowning in filth...you surround yourself by filth and do everything to rise above what you are."

Iniquitous began to electrocute Orex from about 10ft away with power arcs of lightning that super heated the sand on the way towards the man turning it to glass and launching it forward as well.

"Filth i tell you! Your filth and you DIE that way!"

[Mike V'Trechen]

Mike ran to the ship. He figured that he could provide help from the sky, since he was ok with the force, but not so much with lightsabers. He is still awaiting that part of the training with his master, [member="Salis"] . He got into the ship and started to take off.

"Well," said Mike. "This is where the fun begins. They should not mess with me."

 

[Mauda]

Since first connecting with Nihilus, Orex had refrained from using Force Drain to the extent he knew he could. Nihilus had given him the ability to rip a life from its roots But Nihilus had become addicted to such a thing, so much so that he eventually consumed himself. Orex was conservative in his use of Force Drain to avoid this, but the situation he was in now begged a change in tactic.

[member="Iniquitous Ren"] was in a frenzy, desperately inflicting as much damage on Orex as possible, even to her own detriment. He raised his lightsaber to meet the powerful bolts. He was able to deflect a large portion of the lightning, but the shards of glass being blown into him coupled with Iniquitous' relentless advance was pulling more from his concentration than he could manage. Sparks were making their way past, stabbing at his Mask and burning his upper body. He was in a corner, and if he didn't act now, he would either by critically maimed or killed.

He began to mutter to himself in a language that sounded more like a ghostly whisper of screams than anything intelligible. Even he didn't understand it, but Nihilus would. He pulled the spirit from within his Mask and drew him into his core. Once he felt his Core had been replaced by a Void, he outstretched his free hand towards Iniquitous and funnelled an energy not known for over 4000 years. He felt himself grip more than Iniquitous, he had his hands around her Force Signature. As the Lightning crackled into his outstretched palm and coursed through his arm, he began to pull her life from its very Roots and draw it towards himself.

Mike finally gotten into his ship's cockpit. He took off and started to shoot some lasers at [member="Orex Mauda"] with his concealed laser canons. He was really enjoying to see people helpless.

"At leats," thought Mike. "I have the upper hand and the more damage. BWAHAHA!"

 

[Mauda]

Orex was struggling against the lightning in his arm enough as it was. But he had Iniquitous on the brink, he was tantalisingly close to consuming the energy that kept her alive.

Until he heard a ship.

He spun his head to see a salvo of rapid blaster bolts descend from the sky and pummel the ground around him, He relinquished his grip and leapt out of the way, only to be sent flying across the sands by the explosions of the bolts against the sands. Wasting no time, he struggled to his feet and outstretched both hands, grabbing the Infliltrator in the middle of its strafe. It was a powerful ship that he could not simply tear into the ground, but he could keep it in the air for the next 10 or so seconds. Alas, it was a fruitless effort. Iniquitous was still alive and he could not destroy the ship. He pulled on it as hard as he could, then sent a powerful Force Push in its direction as he let it go, and returned his attention to Iniquitous.

[Mike V'Trechen]

The ship's controls was going down. Mike started trying to fix it. He hoped that someone noticed that he was going down. He went over to the engine room.

"Ugg!" yelled Mike into the comm. "No. No! NO! I am going down. HELP!"

 

[Salis]

[member="Demitry Draskovits"] gave a fascinating approach, having one blade offense and the other defensive. What fun! She whirled her sabarstaff to deflect the attacks while back-treaded to try and avoid getting hit. It would be pointless to attack at the moment he'd either manage to defend himself or she'd get hit in the process of trying. She did still commit to an attack but as she thought the blade grazed into the skin just below one of her gloves and she retreated quickly. But she was learning, and she was smiling. Especially as he shouted for the Holocron again.

She leapt backwards through the air to gain some distance between her and her opponent, landing gracefully, her lightsaber whirring in a spin as she considered, "Hmmm, naw, I'm having far too much fun." she said with a chuckle, the blades sheathed themselves and she considered her next move for a moment. The dual sabers held an advantage over a saber staff, so she'd have to switch styles. She deactivated one side and standing ready to move using Ataru once again. But she didn't move forwards, she reached one hand out and attempted to use Force Rend on him, trying to lift him into the air and contort his body violently through telekinesis. Specifically, she tried to do this to his right hand, if he only had one hand to use properly, she might be able to force her way through his defense without getting hurt she hoped.

[Mike V'Trechen]

The ship is getting closer and closer to land. Mike was scared. His ship is about to land on top of everyone. He is going to be a good captain and crash with his ship. Mike looked out through the window crash at all of the fond memories he had in all of his life.

 

[Ballen-Ist]

Stretching out two gloved hands, a powerful telekinetic grip was projected forth. Hate and anger fueled, the exertion of energy sent the figure's dark cape billowing, a strong contrast against the blinding white of the bland ground beneath them. In the commotion, the Sith had landed nearby, escorted only by a looming pair draped in leathery cloaks.

Despite the engine's resistance, [member="Mike V'Trechen"]'s ship would come to a halt mid-air, setting down roughly upon Abafar's surface moments later. Beads of sweat trailed the Pureblood's face, but he was not yet exhausted. The planet's resources had brought him far from the Colonies region, from where Holowan Laboratories was based. He had not expected to come across a skirmish such as this.

 

[Demitry Draskovits]

Demitry sprung back away from Salis, his eyes widening in fear. He continued to back off, taking a moment to compose himself once again. It was clear Salis would probably beat him in a fight, he knew this before he had even engaged in the fight, but he wanted to test her before he decided. Her force capabilities were greater than his own, and he was now unable to get in close enough to fight her on his terms. He glanced around before darting towards Iniquitous Ren. He was now behind her, and saw a golden opportunity to assist Orex and turn the fight back onto his own terms. He sprinted towards her, enhancing his speed once again with the force. The moment he could reach her, he swung both lightsabers towards the back of he legs.

[Mike V'Trechen]

Mike was happy that he did not die. He finally got out of the ship, but not without his trusty DL-44 and lightsaber. He ran to the guy that saved him. ([member="Ballen-Ist"] )

"Thanks," said Mike. "Sorry about all of this!"

 

[Salis]

Salis only barely noticed [member="Mike V'Trechen"] falling and by the time she did it was a bit late to do anything, fortunately someone (@Ballen-Ist) had apparently managed to help him. A pureblood she noticed. That could be a good thing. Or a very bad thing. She would find out soon she imagined.

[member="Demitry Draskovits"] had managed to escape her grip, his fear amused her. She as no sadist, not typically, but there was a joy to be found in winning a fight through such means and she truly enjoyed doing so. However her smile would fade as he changed targets, this time, aiming for [member="Iniquitous Ren"]. That was not good, she was having enough trouble with Orex as it was.

"Get back here! We weren't finished!" she growled trying to boost herself with the force, but it wasn't even after the first step she realized she wouldn't be anywhere near close enough to stop him in time, with a surge of anger she skidded and threw one hand out sending all the throwing knives she had on her flying towards him in an attempt to halt him or disable him if he managed it. But they were designed for speed not accuracy or to be maneuvered or pulled back right away as she had done before. It was a very uncertain move and she had no idea if it would work so she was just throwing it out as a possibility.
Why is it I keep ending up trying to protect people? Let's just hope that woman is not too distracted to take them both on.

 

[Iniquitous Ren]

Iniquitous was poised to attack Orex again as she rushed him and prepared to strike only to be caught in a iron grip of [member="Orex Mauda"]. She thought nothing of it at first but this was different, she could feel her very connection to the force dripping away and fueling his power. It was...shocking to say the least, From what shes heard this power was only ever used b-

Void...darkness...lust, no not lust...hunger. Nihilus...his power forgotten by most over the last thousand years but then again who would want to remember him? His power was intoxicating and also useful. From what shes read on him his power corrupted the user so all she had to do was give him more fuel for his fire. Suddenly her plans were cut short as a large explosion separated the two from each other blasting them across the way.

She sensed another being...their power was warped it had to be Sith. She looked up off of the ground, She wasn't looking too good either. At least 6 broken ribs, She was loosing blood at an alarming rate, Sand was infecting the wounds, She was covered in scorch marks and smoke and possibly worst of all her force signature was partially damaged meaning she could barely even keep herself alive.

This was bad especially because the lackey was about 3 inches away from her legs. She ignited her lightsaber and used all of her might to deflect his blade, Sparks flew in her face she was done for until a volley of blades came at her attacker. They were off center but an easy fix, She manipulated the blades so they would hit the man in the back and while he was distracted she placed both hands on the sand.

She used her lightning to superheat the sand to encase herself the attacker (Demitry) and Orex in a giant crystal.

[Mauda]

Isolated within [member="Iniquitous Ren"]'s Glass Chamber, Orex deactivated his Sabre and began to slowly walk parallel to Iniquitous. His Mask was sparking violently and his Vocoder was rapidly dipping in and out of functionality. Muscles across his body were repeatedly seizing and twitching, currents of lightning still coursing through his veins. He clicked a beacon hidden within a pocket of his armoured cloak.

"I know when I am fighting a losing battle. I will not persist in arrogance. A struggle, but you would be killed in this box" Orex aggressively sent his arm out, gesturing to the glass that encased them. "But with you Dead, myself and he" Orex waved his hand towards Demitry "Would still have three others to contend with. My question to you before we leave, Knight..." Orex stopped moving and craned his neck towards the beaten woman,

"Where are you going?" Orex posed his question. One not meant to be answered in the moment. More of a philosophical thought than anything else. As he finished his statement, a Large, Black Corvette descended from the sky and began its brief journey towards the skirmish"

[Mike V'Trechen]

Mike scurried to find a good shootout. He found arock. He hid and started to fire at [member="Orex Mauda"] and [member="Demitry Draskovits"] ,but he knew that it was futile to try.

"Does anyone need any help?" asked Mike.

 

[Iniquitous Ren]

​Iniquitous gave a venomous look towards the approaching craft giving no actual thought towards Orex's question but instead choosing to condemn them both.

"I know where i'm going. I know where your going too. We are going to the core of the planet."

Her hands reached high above the air and instantly the ground beneath the group began to subside. Nihilus' influence had worn off and she began to regain some strength in the force. This wasn't a well thought out plan as the group fell straight into a nest of krayt dragon eggs guarded by a ferocious mother who was now staring them down.

"Well someones got a boost in estrogen."

This was her solace jokes and flattery all proved to help her escape from reality but it was of no use, The beast charged the crystal and began battering at all the while Iniquitous began to seal the group in by covering the hole in which they entered.

[Mike V'Trechen]

Mike started to think about why he was there. [member="Salis"] and [member="Iniquitous Ren"] has gotten this covered. He wished that [member="Ashara Evanaris"] would have taught him about lightsaber skills. All Mike knew was the force and some gun shootings. He went over and shot a couple more shots at [member="Orex Mauda"] and then ran to gaurd the shipsto make sure that they have a escape route.

 

[Mauda]

The ground opened beneath their feet and the group fell through, landing abruptly in a dark cavern. Orex had not taken the fall well, owing to his legs regularly seizing from the lingering Lightning. After pulling himself from the piles of sand and standing straight, gave Iniquitous a glare,

"Now you've rea-"

Orex was interrupted by a loud crash followed by a tremor within their crystal chamber. He slowly turned his head to see a Krayt Dragon begin battering their prison. Looking slightly further down he saw a collection of large eggs. He couldn't help but utter a low groan. He returned to face Iniquitous and gazed up at the slowly disappearing hole. Iniquitous was sealing them in. As the light faded, the cavern began to rumble more and more until the deafening roar of a powerful engine tore across the sky above them. The Myrkur, a Black Corvette had come slightly too late. As its targets had disappeared underground, the Autopilot had decided to simply fly over their location and make a return at a later time. Orex was frustrated and furious.

"Look at you" Orex glared at [member="Iniquitous Ren"], "Look at us" he waved his arm around their surroundings. "In your arrogance to continue this fight, you have done Nothing, but halt the progress of knowledge. We need that Holocron for the collective betterment of this Galaxy! And all you care about is our destruction."

"You Refused my offer" Orex threw a Push towards Iniquitous and began to walk towards her.

"You have halted nothing but Knowledge" His other hand replaced the former and threw another Push of greater power.

"And now your Arrogance" Orex released a combined push from both Hands, "Has caused your downfall"

He stopped walking and cleared his mind of his Anger. It was clouding him yet again. He could not fight Iniquitous in the state he was in. He turned his head towards Demitry and briefly made eye contact. Without a word, he walked back to his original position, expecting Demitry to take his place.

[member="Demitry Draskovits"]

 

[Mike V'Trechen]

Mike was doing ok. No one wanted to fight him anymore. Life is good. He decided to run to a friend named [member="Salis"] . He wondered what she was up to and if Mike could help her.

"Hey Salis," said Mike. "Do you have a job for me? I am kind of restless right now."
