AoL Raid on Bimmisaari Capture/Defend the Sith Emperor's Personal Ship

[Vexander Graves]

LOCATION: Aboard the Apex
In the Maintenance Ducts, heading to Communications
Wounded @Kei Amadis and 3 Wildcards, 1 Injured.

Mission, Evade Angry Pursuit. Move to communications array.
The team was advacing at a steady pace, even with an injured team member and the stealth they had to have. Their target was at the moment to the communications array. The young padawan followed closely until they encountered some resistance.

Vexander heeded the words of Kei, and proceeded to aim at the troopers that were closing in, after taking a couple of shots, he realized that the fire delay was being a drag... with haste, he pulled his blaster pistol and began to fire at the ones that Kei missed, aiming at their chest. However... the unthinkable became reality... the overwhelming blaster fire allowed a bolt to pass and to his Kei in the shoulder... making him drop to the ground...

With the help of the Force, the young man jumped right into action and ignited his own lightsaber to take Kei's place at deflecting the blaster fire and disarming the enemies. "Wildcards! Get Kei and take cover!!" using the Force to provide more time for them to perform the job, he Force pushed at the nearest enemies in a wave that would knock them to the ground or at least make them lose their balance, just enough for all of them to pull back a bit to a secure area where they would have cover and their backs behind a wall.

Once behind cover, Vex worked with the Wildcards to shoot down and to do some supressing fire to the enemies preventing their assault while they gathered their air and to evaluate Kei's condition... with two wounded they would be limited...

"We need to come up with something fast! Or we are done for... any granades or something to open a path?"

Yusan was pissed off now, first a ceiling blocked his way and now some stupid ice. With a rather large disregard he took a grenade from inside his robes he had been wearing and threw it at the ice. Upon impact it exploded and sent shards of ice in all directions, even to the point that several came in his direction and shreaded parts of his robes themselves. That is when he saw Natol'ine clawing for the edge and finally what snapped him, as she disappeared beyond the edge of sight he bolted forward and jump down after her and the sith, his gaze locked on the two as he fell further into the depths after him. He was not going to let the Sith kill or take a friend, not while he had a chance to save said friend. His grip tightened on his saber as he fell after them and glared at the sith.

 

[Ginnie Dib]

"Nato!" Aditya screamed, hugging her knapsack to her chest and shielding the high explosives with her own body. Ice shards clipped her back, cut into her thigh and she yelped with the lanceting pain. "You . . you blew us. . . YUSAN!!" Aditya scrambled for the edge of the growing crater, watching @[member="Yusan Fenn"] and @[member="Natol'ine"] fall. "No!"

Aditya panicked and scrambled, throwing her backpack over her shoulders again and limping toward the Myrmadinas. Once on board, she shut and bolted the hangar ramp, panting and laying chest up on the ground. "No. .. no nononononononono. What do I do? WhaddoIdo? Think, Adie. Think, think, th-call @[member="Kei Amadis"]. . . no! No. . . I can. . . I can handle. . . " She kicked the nearest seat in frustration, crawling up to her feet and slinking into the pilot seat.

A crowd of Stormtrooper vehicles began to grey up the sky. "Oh. . . my. . . goddess. . ." Aditya took off and made for the safest place she could think of - @[member="Dove"]'s location. Dove could help them. But what if he didn't come? Aditya's transmission came through to @[member="Manu Xextos"] @[member="Felix Emer"] and on the Brynjar and @[member="Kei Amadis"]' wrist band.

"Mayday. Myrmadinas Code Omega. Mayday, I lost Yusan and Nato, can't extract. Fell down pit with cannibal. Enemy bogies zeroing in on my location. Negative on leaving our people behind. Mayday."

 

[Felix Emer]

Max scrambled as he tried to keep his grip on the floor, clearly thankful for @[member="Manu Xextos"] ' hold.
Felix braced himself, holding onto the back of the chair, gripping harder than he realized, he started to emanate a light aura that pulsed. He listened to the comms and frantically went through the list in his mind of what he had in the medical bay to make sure it would be enough. He was not going to lose anybody in this battle, so help him.
"Girls you better get back here, stat!" @[member="Natol'ine"] @[member="Aditya Amadis"] "Especially you Mrs. I don't have time to patch up a heart broken husband. No jedi or medical powers could fix that."
Felix itched to be down there, just like the last battles he had been a chief medic in. There wasn't much he could do on a ship. "How can I get to them, Manu? What if we can't get them back here to the medical bay?" Felix looked at Max. "Max boy, we need you. You know Miss Nato? She needs your help to carry her out of a pit. Can you do it boy?" Max wasn't with Felix just to be a cute. He had seen Max in action on the battle field before. That dog was something else, able to avoid getting hit by anything coming his way, bounding from rock to rock and getting into small spaces and DIGGING. That's it! "Manu, we need to get Max down there. He can dig out those two if he has to and I KNOW he can at least carry Miss Nato."

[Shinju]

@[member="Natol'ine"] @Aditya Amadis @Yusan Fenn

She was falling into the basement a couple levels down. The floors were damaged and she was laughing once Nato fell as well. The force tensing her muscles as she rolled over and impacted into the ferracrete floor and felt several things snap, crackle and a pop. Her scream tore it way out of her throat while the pain in her arm became something of a feeding source. Shinju focused on it letting the pain fuel her anger and strengthen her. The saber was in the distance deactivated and now she felt one other with her. She scrambled grabbing the cool metal while propping herself up against a section of the wall.She propped against it and laughed to herself, laughed while her arm and leg hurt. The damage something even she could feel over the pleasure that came from the thought of being hurt. She looked over scanning for Natol'ine and spoke. "Come on little one, time to finish this if you can, or do I get to take you home and play with you?"

 

[Manu Xextos]

"Mayday. Myrmadinas Code Omega. Mayday, I lost Yusan and Nato, can't extract. Fell down pit with cannibal. Enemy bogies zeroing in on my location. Negative on leaving our people behind. Mayday."

The Epicanthix sounded terrified and overwhelmed, states Manu knew the woman to be ill equipped to handle. He watched the Apex turn and strafe, stifled a chuckle at @[member="TD-30"]'s navigational skill.

Manu reached up and put his large paw of a hand on Felix' wrist. Holding both the puppy and @[member="Felix Emer"], he took one large deep breath. The air pulsated with calm, a genteel peace born of survival and battle. Manu filled his Padawan with the Light, even as Felix emanated with it, and waited until he finished talking.

Manu knew a solution would present itself. "There are TIEs and bombers out there, Felix. Think you can make it back in time to heal the wounded we'll have here? If you can get there, and get back safely, then go. Bring Amadis back. Fenn and Nato if you can." Losing Felix would be a fell blow, losing @[member="Natol'ine"] the Echani could accept. There was a presence about the Kiffar Manu knew to be important, but didn't know why. Something Kei said, probably. Even moreso was the thought of losing Aditya. Manu'd questioned her volunteering for the raid in the first place, but it wasn't to him to do such things. "@[member="Aditya Amadis"], reinforcements are coming for @[member="Natol'ine"] and @[member="Yusan Fenn"]. We're zeroing in on your location. Provide support and escort back to the Brynjar. Your primary objective is to come back to the Brynjar."

With that handled and Max running off to help Felix, Manu cracked his knuckles and slapped both palms on the chair. "Who is running the Apex!?" He burst out laughing, nearly sending two of his Echani officers scrambling to their knees in surprise. An Echani laughing? Manu opened up a channel to the Apex.

"@[member="TD-30"] My compliments to your tactician, Apex! Haven't seen a move like that since . . . well, a good deal longer than you've been making decisions. I wanna shake your hand!" He ended the transmission with a laugh, shaking his head and tossing his hair to the side. "Okay let's kill that guy."

He sat back and pondered. Moving would mean the Apex readjusted and there was the Xo'Xaan to consider. "What I wouldn't give for a gunship right now. Where's @[member="Sera Inkari"]'s frigate? Something to hide in our six and flank the Apex round. . . prep starboard gunnery. How are their shields doing? Fore Gunnery, maintain target. Bring us around, 3/4 burn toward their top end. Swing our back end up "

He tapped his lips with his knuckles and narrowed his eyes. "@[member="Taiden Keth"]. Disengage the Apex' navigation or engines. Victory is imminent if they can't strafe me." The line came through on the wrist comm and Manu sent it to Taiden. "Fire at will."

 

[Felix Emer]

With the go ahead from @[member="Manu Xextos"] Felix whistled for Max and took off sprinting down the corridor, only to hear Manu command him to take a gun. "Blast..." he said... "No pun intended buddy" he ruffled Max's fur. Grabbing a blaster from the armory he careened around the corner, grabbing his medical bag off of its hook yelling for an Echani pilot and gunman to accompany him on a gun ship down to Bimmisaar. "I'm coming guys!" he said into his comm. "Hang tight! And for the love of light, don't you dare die on me! Do you hear me?!"@[member="Yusan Fenn"] @[member="Aditya Amadis"] @[member="Natol'ine"]

Felix could feel his heart pounding inside his chest, still glowing from the force illumination. "Focus Felix, you're useless if you can't focus. Steady hands. Be aware." he started giving himself a pep talk. Max nuzzled his hand. "I can't lose you buddy, you got that?" he said looking down lovingly at the dog. Max barked reassuringly, making Felix smile.

Within half an hour Felix could see Aditya's shuttle. First priority was to get the general's wife out alive. As the gun ship began to land Felix saw the thousands of storm troopers coming. "Sorry buddy, but I gotta get down there a bit faster." Grabbing a scrap piece of metal and his dog he ran and jumped onto the scrap piece of metal, essentially snowboarding off of the ship onto the roof. Having been given the hanger codes to the Myrmidinas in case of emergency Felix punched in the code and ran inside. Pausing for a brief second he ran straight to the cockpit looking frantically around for Aditya. "Mrs Amadis?" he whispered, "It's me, Felix. Are you alright, M'am?"

Sniffing around Max crawled behind the pilots chair and licked Aditya on the face. Quietly padding over to Felix he tugged on his sleeve, pulling him over to her.

"You're hurt." he said softly, gently placing his hand over her right thigh concentrating on healing her. Within 20 seconds the little Epicanthix would be able to run. If he had learned anything in his short time of knowing her she was a fighter and while not a force user, one hell of a runner. "We need to get you out of here. I'm sorry M'am, but it's too dangerous for you here. There's a gunner ship waiting for you and we don't have long. We have to go, NOW." Grabbing her by the hand Felix hoists her up and starts running with her, other hand reaching for the gun at his side simultaneously.

 

[Ginnie Dib]

Aditya had been reminding herself of the benefits of breathing regularly as she hid from the view of the vastly approaching Stormtroopers. If they didn't know she was in there, would they check? Would the red-faced lady find her, wrap her in her villainy and suck her bones dry?

@[member="Felix Emer"]'s gentle voice hit her like hammer pinging out warped metal. Aditya screamed, reaching for her blaster. She pushed her one good leg against the seat and clutched the backpack to her chest as Max came in, whining and licking her face. Mrs. Amadis pushed the bag down and threw her arms around Max and started to bawl.

"I got the money and I shot this guy in the chest and I called @[member="Natol'ine"] and and there was this loud bang and they were processing people and I picked up @[member="Yusan Fenn"] and and there's this red haired she-devil and she's ea-ea-" Aditya buried her face in Max' side. She'd been a tough cookie for years flitting from one Pirate ship to another. Aditya'd killed for @[member="Kei Amadis"], pushed people out of airlocks and fought to the last man standing. She'd convinced herself that no matter the toughness of the battle there were things she could do. Always could. Always would. A flash of her mind showed her Shinju's red face, the crimson caking onto her arms, spread thick like marmalade made of blood oranges. Aditya pulled her head up from Max's coat to Felix. "She's eating people! Felix, she's eating people! I saw it on the sec vids! Oh my goddess there was blood, and and and Nato went after her and what kind of sick religion teaches you to eat people!?"

Aditya'd never dreamed of being prepared for anything remotely as dire as a Sith Knight. A thick layer of shock laid on her mind, she shrank from Felix until her thigh responded to his healing touch and she was halfway out of the shuttle with him before she tugged him back. "My backpack! I gotta get my backpack!" Scrambling back into the Myrmadinas with her one broken heel-less shoe, and yanked it to her chest like a security blanket. "What. . what about Nato and Yusan? We gotta save them, Felix! That woman, she was . . . was. . . we can't leave them! They're hurt!" Her feet followed Felix's to the gunship's ramp and stuttered to a stop.

The sky was full of troop shuttles, she could make out the panelling on a few, and Aditya's lips crashed. "I can't. . . I can't do a damn thing, can I?" The ground battle was out of her depth, Aditya handed Felix her backpack. "Take it. There's weapons, rope, and a slew of explosives. . . guess I'm more use on the Brynjar, they need engineers, right? Course. . . course they. . . Don't die." The fight left her, Felix would see it drain from her face leaving her pale and diminished. Her hands shook as she gave the bag to him, lips tight as more desperate tears scattered across her cheeks. "They're stuck! They're in there with her. I. . . I . . . I didn't know what else to do!" It would take no more fight to get her on the Gunship, the Echani soldiers on board would take her from there.

 

[Felix Emer]

"I'm staying for them, I'm sending you back." he said gently to @[member="Aditya Amadis"]. "Seems that they'd want a healer around if they're hurt, right?" Slinging the bag onto his back he took Aditya's face into his hands and used the force to calm her a bit. "Let these Echani men take you back to the Brynjar and wait for your husband. Go see Captain Xextos on the bridge. He'll want to see that you're safe and he'll make sure that you don't feel useless. Oh, and Aditya, I promise." Giving her a gentle shove inside the gunship he turned and ran back into the hanger where Max was waiting to see if he could find a way to Yusan and Natol'ine. He shivvered as he thought of what they might be going through. "They need you, regardless of how awful the situation, Felix."

 

[Ginnie Dib]

Her head nodded in affirmation, stilling in @[member="Felix Emer"]'s hands as she felt a drifting wind breeze across her face and the problem didn't seem as huge as it had alone in her shuttle. "I. . I. . yeah, I'll. . . take Myrma. She's got good guns, slow as a brick, but if you need her, she's got good guns." Wait for her husband. @[member="Kei Amadis"] must have had cortois or imperitanium poured into his spine to stomach these decrepit polluters. Her lip quivered, she could nod for him but that was all. The Echani bundled her up in the gunship, taking off with a silent woosh and the blasting cacophony of their fired guns zeroing in on one of the troop vessels nearing, forever nearing.

Very quickly the surface would be overrun with Stormtroopers and they would zero in on the Commerce Centre. Aditya curled up in her harness, hugging the tiny satchel bag which remained with her carrying the data sticks and info chits she'd stolen seemingly hours ago in the Senior Account Manager's office. Millions of Credits in the palm of her hands. The ride was far from smooth, as the Echani pilot and gunners punched through the Sith lines, Aditya became cognizant of the potential sacrifice it had caused to merely come save her. War was a distasteful shockingly bitter pill in her throat.

On board the Brynjar, Aditya needed help releasing her harness and walking in a straight line. She ditched both shoes and went barefoot, padding off to the Bridge and stopping long enough at the Comm station to hand them the spoils of war. "Where's Kei? How's he doing? Have you heard? How's the Brynjar holding up? What can . . what can I do?" Her face was the wide spread of shell shock, she stumbled up to the Captain's Station and looked out at the flickers and spreads of light and dark against the endless dome of night.

Her lips fell agape, as she huddled into her ruined clothing. The sky was on fire.

 

[Kei Amadis]

LOCATION: Aboard the Apex
Injured In the Maintenance Ducts, blasting below the Communications array.
@[member="Vexander Graves"] and 3 Wildcards, 1 Injured.

Taking cover again, a theme of the day, "stupid mistake," looking at the blaster wound, Kei grunted letting a medic strap up the arm, the injured man doing the healing didn't put them down any further handed in the immediate fire fight. Kei had no ability to control pain in himself, but the man with the broken ankle was walking a lot better. His ability instead came from the will to shield others from damage. Control another's pain, a technique Kei displayed it here from training with Kiskla, he took on that man's pain, so the soldier could get through the day. "It's nothing," he said to Vex with an Epicanthx's grin, not meaning it, it hurt like hell but no good crying about it now. "Just give me a second, and push the door when I say."

Concentrate, concentrate through the pain, don't let it distract, own it. The door in front of them began to resonate, speeding up, the force poured into it was only a padawan's force but he was desperate. Pushed against the limit is where you learned how to go further, the metal started to bend, and you could see Kei sweating, giving the resonation all the energy he had, it buckled but didn't break. Another technique he and Kiskla had worked on since he first joined the temple months ago, force resonation.

"Now Vex!" the general slumped back, and shook his head to get some sense back into it, the metal ripe to be ripped right out of its socket by a heavy force push.

Climbing to his feet, one more time the Jedi just wouldn't give in, his men needed him, ready, "push and run!" If it needed another push he added it to Vexander's own, to take the door off its hinges, and put them right below the communication array, and possibly the deciding point of this battle. Blaster bolts following them, as troopers tried to catch them up, they'd need to seal the broken door, demolition wise again, if they had enough left. @[member="TD-30"] @[member="TJ-1467 Jay"]

Patching into the droid commander's voice? @[member="TD-30"] Hoping Vexander was up to planting the sonic imprint sensor at a higher up junction, as the pain from the wound was beginning to cloud his ability to think clearly, he threw it over, covering the door. "Here!"

There was a message on his wrist band coming in... it was his wife... a hard call.

Get out of there, he wanted to shout, so badly. Kei closed his eyes briefly, snapping them open, firing back and forth at the troopers, through the door, she'd hear blaster bolts heading each way, "Make the call 'ditya, I trust you." Another one hit the wall right near his head, @[member="Aditya Amadis"] "and I love you."

 

[Glade]

Glastro City Capital - Inside the Intergalactic Commerce Center.
Financial Records Building, in the basement, poisoned paralysed.

Poison acting fast, body limp, senses all fuzzy, the landing was hard but Nato didn't feel the squish into the dark basement, wind caught up around her a gust of it to lessen the descent, dust sent everywhere as she made a thud, all alone. Just the ringing in her ears when she finally fell, hands not even able to raise up. Not alone! She heard Yusan come after her but couldn't actually do anything, or could she. ~Yusan....Sorry. ffffmmmrrr... Had stop... her.~ Unable to speak, obviously in pain, Nato sent through the force to her friend, more than her friend, she didn't want him down here, he couldn't get hurt, not for her, she... cared about him. ~Never.. have.... me...~ She sent to Shinju through the force, eyes fighting to stay open, droopy, still that emotion sent straight out at the woman, it was... strong, fresh... new.

The ringing in her ears, and fuzzy senses weren't helping, the room looked a blur who knows what condition she was in, she couldn't feel anything, it brought back memories of the senate and her back breaking, a fear there of the same, definitely anyone with any force ability could feel her fear, magnified of being helpless, the thought of never dancing again, never going to a bar, never being attractive to a man. Only this time it was a poison acting on her nervous system, but she didn't 'know that'. Thankfully her connection to the environment now meant she'd never fall the same way again and for Shinju, although cut and bruised, beaten, Nato's dressed ripped up, again grrr! This young petite poison paralysed Kiffar girl, had a surprise.

If only she'd been a knight she would have lifted herself up in the current, but little by little the air around the basement rustled and blew. Nato sort the memories of the air, where it had been, strands of it pulled, sent about in a circular motion, driving upward a small vortex at her gentle command, once gentle maybe, not now. With Sio's training, not so small anymore the vortex grew into a small man sized eddy of wind and launched itself straight at Shinju, a difficult thing to fight, the air itself trying to spin, turn her and throw her away, following her every move... hunting her down, in a wild display of the force's nature. It was only a padawan's speed, and strength but tricky. Ataru without the blade, a force whirlwind for the first time ever, to save a life, her life and that of her friend. ~Please, don't get hurt,~ Nato begged Yusan, pleading, the voice in his mind couldn't bare him suffering, ~we have to run.~

[Manu Xextos]

@[member="TD-30"] The Apex was still coming onward, from the sounds in the open comm channels, Manu could tell something needed to be done to preserve his people on board the enemy ship. "Helmsman, full burn! 290 degrees starboard, drift our tail and punch as close to their belly as we can get. Starboard Gunnery, target their hangar bay exit points, annihilate any fighters coming through. Open a hole for @[member="Taiden Keth"]." Manu had been watching the progress of his Echani protege closely, and once the House of Keth began firing, Manu punched his fist down on the arm of his chair.

"Aft gunnery, zero in on Taiden Keth's targeting computers, fire missiles 1 through 4. Break through Engineering!" Hopefully with the addition of the engine's burn and @[member="Taiden Keth"]'s force they could break through. @[member="Aditya Amadis"] came on deck and Manu nearly heaved at the sudden wash of panic in the woman. He pulled her away from the sight of battle into his Captain's chair and put a hand softly on her hair. "Shhh. Pull together, I have a crew breaking into the Apex' engineering, they need to disable the engines to give us an edge. Anything you can tell them? Be prepared to consult with the teams."

Manu opened a private channel to the Jedi on the Apex, "@[member="Kei Amadis"] @[member="Vulpesen"] @[member="XV-265"] @[member="Vexander Graves"] @[member="Taiden Keth"]: @[member="Aditya Amadis"] on Brynjar is available for engineering & demolition consult." He could hear her hiccups as she tried to dry her eyes, and knew as a husband himself any news to Kei concerning his bride would be welcome. Ultimately, the only thing that sucked was Manu's now lack of chair. That thing was comfy!

 

[Serah Oricion]

The air rushed around him as he slowed himself down with the force, but this was not something that was done easily nor quickly. His speed only slowed to the point that he know something was going to break on impact and as he twisted he prepared for himself to roll on impact and if anything break his left arm. That was until he was nearly stopped by the force whirlwind below him... that was nearly. He still impacted, landing on his left shoulder and crying out as pain shot down his spine. He pushed himself up and turned his eyes towards Shinju once he found her and glared, his left shoulder still pained him, forcing him to push it back into place and cry out once more. "I am going to eviscerate you, then feed you your own organs while i cause as much pain as i possibly can you suicidal, insane, karking barve." He took another step forward his hand finding his saber. Even Natoline pleaded with him it was far too late, he had snapped beyond the point of personal safety. His mind had only one thought in mind and it was to get revenge for his friend and those killed, and to make this murderer pay for everything she did or has done in the past.

He rushed forward, blade ignited mid run and saber held out to his side as he rushed forward. Mixing his training with a saber from his mother and other fights with Jedi and Sith, as well as his own training in Echani fighting arts. His blade came down in a wide downward arc that would be aimed at Shinju's shoulder, followed up by a close range blow of force energy at her chest. Should the first action be blocked but the second not he would follow up by charging the off balance foe and stab at her heart with a quick jab that flowed with his movements, a move accustom to the Makashi form. While should the first not be blocked or even just parried the same follow up would occur. In the case that both strikes are blocked Yusan would take a defensive stance and glare at his enemy.

He only had three thoughts at the moment and none of them remotely made out of sound or calm mind. He would butcher this witch and make sure that she felt as much of the pain as she could before she could die. His absolute anger and rage at the woman was nearly impossible to miss as he jumped back and stood over his friend, his muscles tensed. @[member="Natol'ine"] @[member="Shinjū Aÿasha"]

 

[Shinju]

Glastro City Capital - Inside the Intergalactic Commerce Center.
Financial Records Building, in the basement
@[member="Natol'ine"] @[member="Yusan Fenn"]

Shinju felt it that raw surge of emotion and laughed even more. Her hand went to the hilt while she held it and with the wind.... Wind in a basement it for a moment had her looking around until she could see it and make it out. The girl was still trying to fight as she rolled out of the way and a snap hiss of crimson red came. The fresh infusion of pain bringing her to a full height as she felt the pain in her hip. The force pushed through her body more to withstand the padawan's wind. She felt her knees wanting to buckle and to ragdoll but that fire, that hate in her and the blade were what she needed. What she craved as she stood there until the wind passed her and there was the feeling all of the small cuts on her face. The blood welling up to trackle down while she moved a little, exerted the little force energy to withstand it.

Shinju felt the jolt in her knee where she had fallen on it and her mouth was tight. The pain shooting now as she moved even through the energy she pushed into it. Not a lot but enough that she didn't just scream out from it. She just looked at Natol'ine and moved towards her letting her blade come up while she grabbed the blade. The derriphan's eye hung limply in her grasp as she sneered. The bones broken but held in the latex. Her face controted into a mask of pleasurable pain and all of it was worthwhile now. Shinju laughed while the blade pulsed that delicious darkside taint that Rave had created with her alchemy skills. Her power that had led them to many a glorious moment in the unknown, her alchemy lab producing so much fun to inflict upon people. From self replicating spores that destroyed midi-chlorians to the dangerous and powerful sithspawn, nothing had been beyond their grasp. Even the modulator that was part of the Chimera now from the maze had been her doing so a little blade which could feed into her was more then welcomed.

She could just barely clench the blade but held it enough while she laugh. Her hand gripping her forearm and swinging it to slice lightly on Natol'ines chest as she spoke. "Do you like this blade Natol'ine? It is special, a powerful alchemist named Rave designed it, enhanced with the force to pulse with the darkside. Do you know what that does for me? If means the more I hold it the stronger I can get but more importantly." Shinju did another slash to try and cut into Natol'ines stomach. "The blade coats itself with a special sith poison something powerful from her alchemy lab, not as potent as if the commander or even Kaine made it and Velok's could destroy any chance chance for you." Shinju laughed as she fell to her knees and looked down at Nato. "Time to enjoy the fruits of Rave's labor, that poison in your veins will require a healer of the highest caliber." Shinju laughed into a cackle while she looked up into the sky and heard more sounds.

"Hear that little one? The sounds of ships approaching? You had to know that no matter what you wouldn't be alone for long. Oh sure you could have ran to the roof and escaped, you could have tried jumping out a window but you did as I wanted. As was needed, you fought and stayed, let your heart override that head of yours and now, look at you? Just look at your body, here all broken and weak, look at the building destroyed and the people here dead because you came to this world. They might have survived, went home to their beds but instead you and your friends decided to come and show how strong you could be. There is just one problem your not the hunters here, your not lambs and the ones who I will devour, who the sith will fight and who will when the time comes let your hearts dictate your actions."

Her hand reeled back more to grab a pouch from her belt and Shinju stood up with a grunt. "Now stay like this for a few more hours and here we go." She threw the pelko at Netol'ine to try and cover her front with the paralytic barbs as Shinju looked around the basement. She could feel the other with his emotions but she would have to find him while the busted comlink on her wrist was hanging limply. Not too bad just meant that as she fought or in the fall... Most likely the fall she had broken it but it was no matter. Whatever this one had done would be handled and Shinju pushed more force into her body to quiet the trembling of her muscles with the fresh influx of pain.

"I am going to eviscerate you, then feed you your own organs while i cause as much pain as i possibly can you suicidal, insane, karking barve." Her head tilted a little when she saw him and a smile played on her lips. Oh so brave and so angry, so delicious while she drank it in letting the heat wash of all his little emotions. That bit of pain he had that deep seated hatred and she could taste it even more now that bloodlust to see her pay while she flopped her arm up and winced sheathing the derriphan. Its pulse of darkside energy leaving a tingle in her hand. She could still feel it that force there and just like when the Yun-Harla blew up her saber hilt in her hand she had faced worse ways to fight.

She had had to face against The commander who showed she could snuff you out of a fight with a thought. Had faced the jedi master on Metalorn and now she was fighting these people, these ants compared to most. It filled her with a warm and fuzzy feeling at the thought before she just laughed. Then he was off and coming at her with a strike. The force rippled across her body tightening the muscles into a tense form as she moved backwards out of the strike. Felt the saber go past her hair and the force push to her chest. It wasn't about dodging it was about feeding and using that energy to keep herself steady while he expended his. Her hand came up shimmering blue as he stabbed and Shinju came forward.

For a moment she just stood there his stab at her heart bringing her crimson saber up to rest there. Then she blinked and felt it. Felt that tingle of power washing over her again and again as she uncovered her hand. Holding it out in front of herself and pushing down on the blade. "More." Shinju let the power wash over her arm, not healing it, she didn't know how to heal with the darkside but what she knew how to do was use the force to strengthen her own body and his blade was something new, something she could eat with his emotions, that hatred and wanting to kill her was more then enough while she held the red blade and laughed.

Her eyes burned from the sensation of holding his blade and eating it in as he went back to stand in a defensive stance. Shinju let the laugh resonate deep in her throat while she stood there and straightened herself up. The infusion of energy letting the force body force more towards keeping her together, towards allowing her to stand here and fight as she spoke. "So angry, it is delicious. I could feed from you all day. Not very jedi like or are you not a jedi? Oh it shall be something to see but sadly I am afraid if you don't run for your life. You'll be quite caught when the siths forces appear."

Safely inside the hanger of Aditya's ship for now Felix opened the bag she shoved into his hands right before leaving back for the Brynjar. "ACK! How does that tiny little woman get enough explosives to blow up a whole building into one bag and not blow herself up!?" Felix said looking at Max who cocked his head to the side with an "I dunno" grunt. "Alright buddy, how do we get down there to them? They need us." he said to Max. "Anybody have floor plans and some easy access to where Miss Nato and Yusan are at?" he said into the comm @[member="Yusan Fenn"] @[member="Natol'ine"] @[member="Aditya Amadis"] @[member="Manu Xextos"]

Running out the hanger door he grabbed the piece of metal he had used to "surf" off of the gunner ship before. Max bounded down to each floor, leaping across the hole each time. "Showoff" said Felix to Max. Clearly Max was more coordinated than Felix. Using some of the rope he found in Aditya's bag he tied it around the metal and anchored it to one of the vents on the roof and began lowering himself down. "Sorry, scratch that last question" he said into the comm "no time, I'm on my way down." Jamming on some leather gloves Felix placed his feet on the metal piece and let the rope slide through his hands, so as not to go too fast but get there quickly enough.

Max bounded down to the final floor, landing right in front of Natol'ine. Felix followed close behind and could feel the tension and anger rising. As he jumped down off of his makeshift contraption he pulled the blaster out and handed it to Natol'ine. Max barked obscenities at the Sith Knight and Felix scolded him at first. "Now Max, you know that isn't poli..." looking up at the woman he changed mid sentence "on second thought, carry on... I'm just not going to translate, k?" @[member="Shinjū Aÿasha"]

"get Miss Nato to safety, okay boy? Find a place to hide until I get back up there, y'hear?" Felix said quietly to Max. Max turned and helped prop her up, allowing her to rest on his back a little bit. "Arf!" he barked at her, with Felix too busy to translate as he was now focused on how to get Yusan away from the Sith Knight with both of them alive.

Bracing himself Felix started to glow with the force illumination. He reached out within the force with a calm that washed over the whole room.

Bimmisaari Space
Brynjar - Victory II Class Star Destroyer
Bridge
The Echani's formidable hand on her hair, Aditya nearly fell asleep in the calm blue ocean of his aura. Not that Aditya Amadis knew what an aura was, or why it was making her let go of the dense fog of fear she'd been wrestling in, but the young woman listened to the Brynjar Captain's voice of command and watched how he controlled the bridge and his end of the battle. Someday she would have control like that, Aditya vowed, displeased with her lot that day above Bimmisaari. "There're maintenance ducts, @[member="Felix Emer"], they help with h/vac, but they're big enough to crawl through if you need them. If not, blow holes in the walls. I don't . . I don't know" With a task she could think more clearly, engineering and solving technical problems was a task the shell shocked Epicanthix could concentrate on.

"Kei?" Aditya squeaked, sniffling and rubbing at her face. He wouldn't want to hear her be this much of a coward, this emotional. It wasn't tough or Epicanthix. She was a fighter. Fight was too gruesome, too visceral, too soon for her shocked and wide eyes. She flinched in the Captain's chair, knees curled to her chest as she heard the blaster fire zip past @[member="Kei Amadis"]' head. "Please make it back to me. . . I love you. Don't die. . . and the hydraulic fluid most star destroyers use pumps through tubes under the flooring. Not the walls. The floors. Sever the local lines and the blast doors won't open without concussive force. If you get stuck…" the young wife whispered, stifling another sniffle. "You bring Kei home, @[member="Vexander Graves"]! When that battle's done, you bring him home!"

Glastro City Capital - Inside the Intergalactic Commerce Center.
Financial Records Building, in the basement, double whammy poison!

Real danger of being caught, thankfully in the basement they had a little time, a little. Weak so weak, but the Sith taunted, she didn't let Natol'ine die..... she cut into her, making the girl's light fade further. A searing wound, giving the Kiffar more than she knew how to deal with. In Shinju's mind she hear the echoes of what used to be a happy laugh... a laugh? It was a child's voice being born, skipping at play, wild party colors. All these horrid little poisons in her bloodstream at the same time... a hand twitched.... then a foot, flicking out, jerking motions. Lip cut, stomach cut, body limp... no more... she raised a head, midnight eyes darker than ever, not standing yet, the Sith poison was burning, burning away everything in fact, becoming and mutating to whatever it'd be next. It hurt worse than any pain she'd ever know, the paralysing poison burned, or changed along with anything it touched.

Shinju's handywork, there had been complications. Through the force Nato screamed, ~Leave him alone!~ Shinju had done it, and felt her mind being squeezed by the padawan, memories under attack, Nato tried to attack thoughts of the Sith, cutting into them, clawing at them, bitting her memories, confusing her thoughts. Until the padawan got herself back under control, the first time.... mild cuts... bites... gnaws.... and tiny holes punctured if successful.

Nato couldn't believe she'd lashed out, or what had just happened, still limp, she didn't exactly have control over her spine, but the mutating poisons had her sliding up against a fallen bit of floor, the wind came again, from right underneath the sith, the one attacking her Yusan. Not a knight's wind, no was something different and vicious, it would graze and cut, pierce with objects, the memories of the poison given to Nato, so terrible, where it had been an who it had touched, that the wind's intent and viciousness in what it threw at Shinju matched it, cutting and biting with jagged bits of metal, going right for her grip on that blade feeding her power. Nato didn't know this but the memories of the Sith poison did know Shinju, that's what the cutting metal went after, trying to wound her connection, that was what was beginning to rule Nato's body after all.

~Yusan.... Yusan.... ~ she just repeated over and over blowing open a nearby door, and wham.... anyone standing the other side on guard, being squashed aside, knocked down by the outpouring of whatever this new feeling was. The wind was her voice, unable to speak, memory strings of the air yanked as a man flew on guard through towards them, banging his head nearby.

Fuzzy eyes, saw a fuzzy dog. The dog calmed her, she wanted to hug it, managed to get a hand up, then two on its back, pulling her out of there, bit by bit, edging her out of the rubble. The wind she managed to put underneath herself made the dog and her between them able to move her away. A clever dog, the sound of people above, sensitive hearing made Max dart towards an unused door, taking Nato with it, the one she'd blown open. A little escape point underground, that's why it had been guarded. Of course it would be locked up, and who knows where it would head, vaults, a sewer, a bunker, pipes, a vent.... tunnels to the surface? Anywhere was better than here, wherever it was. Maybe after playing with them both the Sith would be bored... no Nato doubted she was that lucky.

~Come back to us Yusan... They.. I need you. Come with us. Please~ A crying part of Nato begged, actually begged him, tears in her eyes through the force, wet Max's back. Nato was absolutely exhausted, she had nothing left, just the poison acting out as its own fuel. If she didn't go now that was it, she'd just slump over and probably not wake up for a week. The Kiffar didn't know how long she had, not with the cuts and poisons or whatever was going on inside of her, or what it was doing to her in the mean time.

[Serah Oricion]

His strikes flowed with ever increasing speed and power, though he tried to keep the Makashi stance active, the jabs were soon replaced by power strikes and his flowing blade work replaced by vicious movements with the intent to kill. He knew the sith was feeding off him, he knew the sith gained power with his and increasing, but he didnt care nor could he stop himself. The Sith in front of him was a demon and he would see to it that he returned said demon to the pit that it crawled out of. Even when Felix arrived his strikes were not calmed, as three force enhanced power strikes were set at Shinju's shoulder, mid section, then head in quick succession. His hands even gripped at his blade to the point where they were pale white, his eyes remained in a hateful murderous glare, and his body shook when he would stand still, a counter effect of Yusan's conscious mind trying to stop himself.

He only halted for a moment when Natol'ine's voice reached out to his mind, his steps and strikes faltering as he stood there and his expression softened. His Anger and want to butcher the sith nearly vanished and his Makashi stance returned but he did not move other than to look at Felix. "You, is Nato out?" While he waited for an answer his eyes returned to Shinju, calm now, collected and calculating. His expression was focused and apathetic, and his stance still and tensed. He was ready now to fight with a calm mind, one the sith couldn't so easily feed from and one determined to fight until Natoline was clear.

Shinju moved bringing her blade and hand up. No need to heal the broken bones when this one was feeding her the energy. Her hand flared while she jumped back. His strikes were not matching his form. Wild and hard strikes with makashi a form designed for handling saber wielders in dueling. The form didn't match his aggression while Shinju let the force flow through her legs and hopped pushing the pain of impact through her body to jump again. The basement letting her go from debris or walls, the level above and back down again in flips, in kicks and strikes. Until she was more or less a whirlwind of movement to match Natol'ines abilities. The wind letting her gain momentum and some force while it gave those tiny cuts and pricks.

The energy changing as Shinju felt all of them, now four morsels and sources for emotions. Even a dog could be welcomed in here as the slashes towards her mid section brought her hand to clasp with her palm. Then she moved crouching lower as she felt someone pushing, pushing into her mind and she welcomed it. Why fight Natol'ine's images, the horror of them and the feeling with them were welcomed. She had seen more then enough done by the rest and then all from Dharma, the Wrathful one, her and kaelin with that twi'lek... If Natol'ine wanted to push into her skull and try to force her to stop she would find that mine field of pure carnage while every terrible thing came out. Even more committed simply with her hands or a lighter. The children she had lit on fire to practice absorbing the heat and energy. Their screams echoing loud through her mind to make her stronger and they fear of the monster under their bed made real when she had come.

She kept up her pace while letting the loop in her head of horrors go to Natol'ine to share, that connection now something that could be both ways. It was why few tried to invade her mind, why even Dharma had only given her a taste of madness, something she could remember and give to Natol'ine. The perception of another insane being through the eyes of another insane one, oh there was too much here while the objects would become brighter, animated and animated, Dharma was a seer and her perception let her deal with the stories, the emotions each object had, each object gave off at her touch. The dangers of psychometry specialized and perfected, so Shinju gave that taste to Natol'ine while she went more with Yusan's stance letting plenty come to her face but not stopping.

No the jostling of the doors only led to her crouching down low as it went past and Shinju she felt the guards on the other side, a question in her mind came while she thought about where they planned to escape to? The tunnels down below were for storage and secured, they needed to be this was a place of business as Shinju watched the rest and held the blade with one hand. She switched it to her left and with the force tightened her grip while cringing but it was fine. The sword on her back was all she needed as the pain from the shard became something of a wonderful balm to any pain, the small dagger on her hip all she needed to touch for the moment as she shot her arm up and ran it along the derriphan's blade getting a glop of the sith poison.

"Well then I guess it is time to see how fast we can end this, your no longer fun and." She let it trail off as several emotions hit her all at once, as more came flooding into her body and the soldiers responding to the terrorist attacks came to the bank. Finding dead bodies and heavy damage, finding one facing off against three and a dog while they leveled rifle. "I recommend falling to your knee's and begging. The emperor isn't kind and..." Shinju threw the blade underhanded towards the one trying to take Natol'ine away to pierce and infect while she grinned her hand drawing out the sith sword on her back and both the saber and derriphan twirled in her hands. As another sith ship roared overhead opening fire on the ships that had brought the new one. Not wise to fly into an enemies airspace then stay. The sith lines had forced the other to leave what made him think he was special.
