Skirmish Blackest Night: Jakku Jedi Enclave Raid [BOTM v JEDI]


GADividerWhite.png


Rushing the startup sequence on the Thunderstruck, the Knight quickly took off to assist in the fight.

Engaging his booster pod, the X-Wing sped up to meet with Storm Squadron. It had only been a few minutes ago that he saw them, along with Master Starchaser, take off. He couldn’t resist the urge to get into a good dogfight.

“Master Starchaser, this is Knight Dainlei reporting in as Bolt 1.”

When the Jedi was told they were going to aid in a fight on Jakku, he was expecting to be on the ground chopping up Sith. But up here in space, this was more his element. Here, the ship was his lightsaber. He was one with it, and one with the force.

Up ahead the Knight noticed the interesting think Master Starchaser mentioned. Approaching, and quite fast, were a whole mess of TIE Fighters. The last time he saw Sith flying these around, the man was back in the skies of Dantooine.


“Looks like we have multiple TIEs approaching. Awaiting your orders to lock S-Foils, Storm 1.”

Soon, the carnage would begin.

========================================
There was nothing like the smell of a fighter-bay, the sound of a hangar as the deployment klaxon sounded, and the intercom commands echoed off the deck. Controlled chaos. A thousand things happening all at once. And every bit of it seared through Roth's blood like a wildfire. He was back where he belonged, surrounded by the soft embrace of the cold hard void. When he was young and flew with the first reconstituted Galactic Alliance, he thought he was an alcoholic.

But this was his true addiction. The danger, the thrill, the challenge. The subtle bond between fighter pilots and aces, no matter which flag they flew under. Opponents, they might be, but their true enemy was space itself. Gravity. Vacuum. Particles. Radiation. Debris. The million things in a zero-g environment that could conspire to kill you faster than the best enemy ace.

"General Starchaser has deployed," a voice said over the intercom, "Repeat, General Starchaser has deployed. Callsign Storm. Knight Squadron, prepare for launch."

That was his cue. Roth whistled through his teeth and circled his finger above his head. "Alright, Wild Knights! I know we're just back at this, but here's the thing. You know your work-- play it tight and cautious at first. Probe 'em until you know how they think. Then cut them apart. Mount up and wings up."

He swung up the ladder into his own ship, a Zerek Zenith. New model of the old Z95, which he appreciated. Those birds had style. And some nasty torpedoes to boot, one that essentially wrecked shields. "Lancer squadron, hold back and wait for signal. It's not everyday you get a shot at a dreadnought and let's not waste it. And remember, the League offers prize money for captured enemy ships! And a behemoth like that one ought to be worth at least a decent round or two.'

There was laughter from his pilots as they clapped him on the shoulder as they filtered into their ships. Jedi. Jensaarai. Luka Sene. Wardens of the Sky. They were a mixed lot, drawn from the rogues and scoundrels of the Circle of Light. But they were good. And more importantly, they were his squadron. Hand-picked and trained to work as a team using battle meditation. It made them less a squadron and more... an entity.

Roth powered up his fighter and felt the thrum of the engines beneath his feet. Not the precision hum of the Iv'Ivruses he designed, but a throaty rumble of power that rippled through the fighter. Lights flickered green as he modulated the power supply and ran pre-flight diagnostics.

"Knight One, ready to launch. All pilots check-in." One by one, they counted off. Each familiar voice comfortable in their role and with their duty. Around him, the other ZZs lifted off the ground in preparation for launch.

"Knight One, your squadron is cleared for launch. May the Force be with you," the flight control officer's voice was quiet in his helmet.

"Roger that, control. Beginning launch sequence. Keep the beer cold for us." There was a strained laugh. He switched channels. "Alright, Knights. Form up on me. We're going straight out the nose of this baby. Shields up and trigger fingers itchy. TIE reinforcements just dropped out of hyperspace, so we'll need to clear them up before we can maul that cap ship so the path is clear to the Jedi down below."

The fighter surged forward as he nudged the throttle forward out of the hangar of the Scythe into the deep black of space. Gravity and safety fell away and his skin tingled as his senses expanded. Gravity, ions, lasers. Energy were all things he could feel and his fighter was every bit a part of him as a lightsaber. He tapped an open frequency.

"Hello, Jakku Jedi! We heard you might be needing some help, now granted, this wasn't quite what we hoped for. We were hoping you had too much booze you needed to get rid of, so we brought friends. Sadly not the case. But hold tight to each other down there. Work together. Punch the imps in the nose and we'll meet you on the surface with some fireworks. Don't ever think the Jedi on the Outer Rim forgot about you. We never forget. As for you Imperials or whatever the kark you are at this point, get karked you sith-spit sucking comet-chasers."

Roth adjusted to the encypted channels to link with Storm and Bolt. "Storm One and Bolt One, this is Knight One. Falling into formation. What's the plan, General? Up for some old-fashioned battle meditation?"

Behind him, his pilots split up into three smaller formations of four each, forming a roughly spherical version of the finger-four formations as they accelerated to fall into the rear position behind Coren's squadron.

"What ya Storm boys say, first three rounds on whoever scraps less TIES? All the rounds on the loser if somebody knocks out that battleship of theirs?" That was Zia Ve, a Falleen Jedi who cared too much for gambling and drinking to fit in with most Jedi groups. Muffled laughter rippled through the comms.

"Cut the chatter, Knight Three," Roth interrupted. "They can pay up once we're clear."

Frak.

The comms in this place suck right now! He couldn't help but think to himself as the younger Starchaser was trying to set up an ambush but it would backfire with the monster standing in front of Caltin right now. He was not going to let it happen, but the comm-link was useless.

~Watch yourself on approach if you plan on doing this.~

He may not have the same connection to the Force, but Caltin still knew how to reach out into someone's mind. The mental image of this undead warrior in front of him was the only image Jared would get. Right now, Caltin has focused on Dakrul in front of him. the monster was about to pull something and he had to be prepared for it. Which of course seemed like the prudently perfect time for an assassin to try and sneak up behind him. Reaching behind, the big guy put the Nightbrother into a headlock and swung him around hard. The would-be killer was well armored but that mattered little as Caltin stopped him in place. Force Stasis, even with the electrical field that his connection emanated was a powerful stopping tool, and as he slowly closed his hand into a fist, the armor crushed around him.

This time though, the SIth would not be Dakrul's lunch.

A hard Force push sent him flying down the hall that Jared was presumably approaching.

~Heads up.~

Maybe ambush the ambush?

The tides of the Force changed, and not in a way that the Sith Lord had anticipated. He struggled to associate it, but it felt ever hostile when he reached out to it. He was not omniscient in his abilities, so he pulled his focus from the battle with Darth Senthral Darth Senthral engaging Ishani Dinn Ishani Dinn and Vaylin Vaylin to stretch out his consciousness to the creatures that had descended into the bowels of the Enclave. The motor pulling the final crate towards the rear door of the Pilgrim came to an abrupt halt, allowing the Sith a moment to understand the conflict occurring within the beasts down below. Their aggressive nature came to a standstill, concluding the deaths of what enemies they formerly engaged, raising their heads in certain suspicion and curiosity. Their wicked maws snapped at one another, communicating in their own forms of complex understanding, hissing and screeching as they felt their control shift to bring them to halt. Tennacus attempted to understand who the person among them was, but they remained to be an individual he had not encountered before. Neither the Light nor Dark made itself obvious in his perception, but he was certain that if they were a Mawite he would have felt it, having grown familiar with those he affiliated with. A Jedi Master, perhaps? It was difficult to say. But the Force still stood with something that was off, unbalanced in its twisted nature. If this was truly an enemy, he would soon find out.

Tennacus instilled a yearning for hunger within them, rekindling the fires that had died out in their recent slaughter. Once again they were forced to endure the agony of starvation, as if their inner jaws had not already plunged into the skulls of prey within that sanct. The eight of them bellowed and screeched, sounding their hunger once again, simultaneously preparing themselves for yet another feast. The cluster rushed forward, scaling along the walls and ceiling alike, ready to set themselves upon Taeli Raaf Taeli Raaf without further hesitation in their actions.

Back on the pilgrim, the motor of the runner cranked and rolled, carrying the crate out towards the rear door. It descended down towards the brown wastes of Jakku, and Tennacus reached out through the Force to intentionally provide confirmation of his whereabouts. As much as he hated the idea of having to walk the wretched wastes of such a climate, if the foe could survive against his swarm, he wanted to meet them.

But first she had to survive.

Objective: Reinforce
Location: Jakku Sand Dune
The Mongrel The Mongrel


Ignatius looked at the sun, before averting his gaze beneath the yoke of his outstretched hand. God. What a chitheap. Like an actual chitheap. Nothing but sand for kilometre after unrelenting kilometre. Dune after dune. It was horrifying. And yet, he and his unit had been there for hours now. Waiting. The vanguard of the first wave. Ordered to stay and wait. The former diplomat and spy gazed to his cohorts. They too suffered similarly. Some sat in the shade offered by their LuchsHai's, and played dice in the sand. Others idly chattered as they stitched more scrap to the patchwork monsters they had before them. But Ignatius, Ignatius stilled himself. He had realised far too late enroute to Jakku that the stitches he had carefully tried to piece together on his mangled foot, no matter the amateur nature, would soon be afflicted with sand. Although, perhaps it might grant him a pearl if it were to grow in the festering, septic wound caused by Srina Talon Srina Talon .

Rausgeber looked around, and clasped for the flask which hung around his neck. He unscrewed it carefully, keeping the cap in hand, and took a long sip. His eyes fluttering shut as he almost inhaled the sweet, luke warm water within. "Bloody tired of this." T'Kerri, one of the fellow Auxiliaries drawled. "We get bloody dropped 'ere, after all 'at went on on Rhand, and we get bloody told, 'No suh! Ya can't be runnin' bout to reinforce! 'Old the vanguard!'" T'kerri scoffed, kicking up dust. Ignatius lowered the flask, and eyed the weequay with some wry contempt. "I mean, what sorta Jedi, decides to build their frakin' temple on this chit'ole?!"

Imperial indoctrination struck Ignatius immediately. "The Jedi are a group who try to eschew beliefs that they are beyond conventional wisdom. Beyond the need for niceties like women. Drink. Or spice." Ignatius rough, calloused hands began tightened around the cap to his flask, as he screwed it shut. "They think building out here, it makes them look strong. Mystical. Maybe connects them more to their 'Force'." Ignatius drawled with typical imperial ire. "But," He shrugged to T'Kerri, "That is their belief, and not ours." He swallowed some, and looked to the other Auxiliaries. Bare and out in the dunes. "How much do you have on Little Fraser," He gestured in the distance to a group playing cards. Based on the expressions alone, a high stakes game, "Losing his temper in this heat, and maybe... Maybe deciding to take it out on Glenn there."

T'Kerri scowled, and cocked his head, eyeing the group. "Ya reckon Fraser'll lose it?" He pursed his lips and shook his head, "Nah Iggy, Fraser loses it. Even thinks of makin' a move on Glenn, it'll be Hungryman who wins," He gestured to the Trandoshan who stood behind the players, eyeing them. "I've seen 'im. He's in a mood. 'Asn't tasted 'uman flesh in a bit." He offered a sadistic wink to Ignatius. That was the Trandoshans favourite delicacy. Dining on the ligaments of human. Alive or dead, he would salivate and consume all before him. "He'll 'ave Fraser, if he does something. Fraser'll just raise his eyebrow, and 'Ungryman'll jump in there. Help Glenn. And gobble his hand, feet and 'ead in three seconds flat."

That was not at all in contention. Hungryman was a hungry man. "Point taken." Ignatius conceded. Better Fraser, the illiterate whelp than him. "So how about say... A half-no," Ignatius raised a singular digit, "One full pack of Cigarra's. Me on Fraser throwing a tantrum and beating Glenn. You, that should Fraser lose his temper, that Hungryman feasts on his lovely tanned hide." He paused, and offered a hand to T'kerri, "Agreed?"

"Aye." T'Kerri nodded, and cackled, shaking his head. However his demeanour changed with the buzzing of something within his belt. He reached within, retrieving a small comms unit and raising it to his ear. "Oi!" He called, "Kerri 'ere, what's the rub?" Ignatius could not make out the conversation, but he saw Kerri's demeanour turn. From confident to cool. "Right. Right. Gotcha. We'll move it." T'kerri then dropped it, "We're on the move." He then clapped his hands loudly. The palms hitting one another resonated through the assembled Auxiliaries and their vehicles. "Right boys, mount up!" T'kerri barked, "We're the next ones in. Headed to one of the entrances!"

What occured next could only be defined as pandamonium. The assembled, slovenly Auxiliaries rushed to their stations aboard the vintage LuchsHai landspeeders. Gunners mounting up on their E-Web guns, eager soldiers trying to secure a place in the back tray. Drivers in their seats. For his part, Ignatius clambered into the closest speeder. He'd been designated as a driver, and began the start up. His own LuchsHai modified to fit one of the major weapons, the Mongrels Growl, in the back tray. As Ignatius started the vehicle, T'kerri stood in the passenger seat, waving over the other speeders to form up behind them. "Right you maggots! We have a job ta do, and that's to 'elp ole mate the Mongrel!" Kerri bellowed, "On my mark we ride!" He commanded, voice booming over the industrial roar of the speeders, "Fall in!"

And across the desert they began, cascading down the dunes, and climbing new ones. Leaving gargantuan clouds of dust as they pressed forward and onward. Into the distance. Ignatius taking the lead, and sliding down his goggles. Last thing he needed now was to be driving blind.

In a snap of light, the two carriers of the 19th Battlegroup dropped out of hyperspace outside the system. It was not a planned move, but there happened to be comm-chatter picked up, as well as beacons going off. This wasn't protocol, Liram needed to get permission from Command to operate outside Silver Space (in a manner of speaking), but he had technical information that a Jedi Council member was in the Jakku Enclave. So that was his technical reason for getting there, they were assisting one of their own. Immediately the ships went up to Red Alert as General Quarters was sounded. All crews started loading weapons and powering up fighters as gunnery and defensive crews began arming weapons.

The pilots meanwhile were getting last-minute briefings on their assignments and their areas of operations. Not all fighters would launch until or unless necessary. For example, the Jackal Fighters of SCAR wing were on Alert-Ready-5. They had their assignment and area of operation, but that would wait until they were called upon. Right now they were lined up on the decks winged up and waiting to get into the fight. Neither carrier would move in until they were needed either.

As the fighters moved in, it was all over but for the reports.

Just as Caltin Vanagor Caltin Vanagor began his charge at Dakrul who had prepared his ritual in the midst of the former Green Room, his kin had arrived, hellspawn's incarnate. Three reanimated Cha'ta'ri brethren raced through the Main Hub to intercept the escaping personnel from the living quarters that were being escorted out. A majority had already been evacuated but towards their final push back towards the Turbolift that would have safely whisked them away to the landing site the dark thralls intercepted them.

It was their ability to spawn more of their own that would spell the doom of the fleeing light-bearers. Some were simply too inexperienced, having come here after the recent conflict to hone their craft in safety and under the guidance of masters, others more experienced had just never been confronted by an occult terror such as this. A sickening horrifying plague fell upon them as the dead not only returned but morphed by sacrilegious craft into thrashing insectoid demon minions. Their growing number overwhelmed the enclave's guardians. After brief bloodshed, screams, and death rattles a herd of insatiable Hungering crowded the gangways of the Main Hub.

Dakurl on the other hand was being beaten to a pulp. Immersed in his incantation he had barely recognized the approaching Jedi before being impacted by the Caltin Vanagor Caltin Vanagor . Bashes to his trunk, even a headlock as he was manhandled and thrown across the desolate leftovers of the former underground oasis. The lifeless monstrum never fought back, it was rejuvenating expended energies, to recognize, summon and bind his brothers and sisters onto this plane was a costly procedure.

But as his form hit the ground face down having been launched into the hallways connecting the garden to the living quarters and dojo respectively he sprung into action.

His beaten shell scrapped itself from the ground into a hurried crawling, arachnid-like, on all six. Right at the corner the two younglings Jared Starchaser Jared Starchaser had instructed to return to the former safety of the Green Room stumbled upon the injured archdemon.

Darkul preyed upon their small innocent bodies in an instant, as the two Jedis would come into line of sight of the Heath Priest they would be held witness to his atrocities. Each of the younglings in a terrifying grasp, their feet dangling off the ground. Just like he had killed the lush foliage earlier he sucked the life out of their hulls, a muffled screaming as his clawed digits were tightly clasped over their faces. With a ghastly thud, their corpses hit the floor. Moments later the azure hell flames mutated and corrupted their souls and flesh to birth two more Hungering fiends into the Enclave.

Confronted by two Jedi the three-meter tall monstrosity chose to push deeper into the hallways of the safe house. Charging Jared Starchaser Jared Starchaser along with the two ferocious thralls he attempted to outrun the punishment of his former attacker and overwhelm the hopefully stunned human before him.

Clawed appendages and razor-sharp fangs would snatch after the brown-haired man as the savage raging Cha'ta'ris sought after his life.

Caltin half expected to be caught and thrown through the wall himself, after all this big monster was big and had four arms. However, crashing through the wall seemed to work for him. There was something off about this though. It was almost as if this was a distraction against him. Almost as if this undead minion of dark magick was actually wanting him to attack and devote his attention on “him” and away from those who needed protection.

Dammit!

It was too late, almost as if “he” was a plant, Dakrul spawned more of his own and they were slaughtering those who were little more than office workers and techs. Getting off from his “mount position”, Caltin was too late and he knew it. He could do nothing but look on in regret. Regret for Caltin meant trouble for others, as regret infuriated him. If a Jedi fell, he could make peace with it, it was a necessary sacrifice for them, he accepted this. Slaughtering those who have nothing to do with this perpetual battle? No, that was crossing the line.

Caltin was no longer capable of “Electric Judgment”, it was an ability he was more than proficient in for a long time. However his evolution changed that, and now he was a vessel of lightning. Not simple “Force Lightning”, but the elemental force, and he could summon it anywhere. He could do nothing for the poor unfortunate souls that had already fallen, but he would not let the Padawans, or Jared, or anyone else experience the torture that this “Dark Demonspawn” was going after.

The other spawn felt the impact of the lightning he was wielding, the brute power of the electrical events would do incredible damage to them, and it was selective.

He did not have a direct line of sight on Dakrul the moment he was attacking the others, but the big guy saw “his” reflection.

Oh no, you don’t!

Pulling Elohai into his hand through the Force, the massive Jedi Master ignited the purple blade and threw the weapon directly at the middle of Dakrul’s back. Indeed Jared was bringing more with him, but Caltin was not without a weapon, he still had his other, he still had his skills, he still had the Force.

... YET THE DAWN ALWAYS COMES.
ZhUyygm.png

 
Making his way towards the Mountain of a Jedi, the Hunter Starchaser was reaching through his list of what he could do, what could be useful. If he could lead any Sith away from real younglings and into the arms of someone who could combat them, whether it be he, himself, or another Jedi. But now, he was already in motion, making his way to Caltin Vanagor Caltin Vanagor . With the warning to be careful and tread lightly.

As he passed a hallway, he made sure to light it up with an illusion of the Force, noises and sounds, younglings in fear. But that all went away in an instant, when he felt the life extinguished of the two he sent, and the Green Room itself. Jared may be a wayseeking Jedi, but he was a Jedi nonetheless. The fear they had, the death in the room was taking the steam out of him. He grabbed his lightsaber and ignited it, turning.

Monsters, those were things he was used to.

And what was coming after him? That was a Sithspawn. He could fight this.

“So, not my goal to bring something like this…”
He said over to Caltin. At the same time, the Starchaser’s already blue eyes began to glow an icy blue as the Jedi was starting to pull heat from the room, with a goal to slow the creature down. The claw came from the creature and Jared’s saber came up to provide a knock back before he threw up a wall of, very shoddy with the territory, near freezing temperatures.

Thaurond gripped his ignited lightsaber tightly as the first streaks of blaster fire came from the advancing Jedi party. He could sense their presence in the Force just as well they could sense him. Two, disgusting beacons of Light. He motioned his soldiers to return fire. He stood his ground, using the flat side of his burning blade to deflect the occasional bolt heading his direction. He heard one of the Jedi call out, an older man by his discernment. A Master Jedi.

Justice? There is no justice here, Jedi." He snarled, "There is only.....the darkness"

With those last words, his voice seemed to reverberate in the air over the sound of blaster-fire, like thunder quaking through the howl of a hurricane. He began advancing toward the Jedi and their troopers. He used the flat side of his broadsaber to deflect incoming bolts. His presence in the Force seemed to expand outward, like an advancing storm. He was using a twisted form of the Mind Trick, known as Force Fear. If any among this motley crew of Jedi enforcers were weak of will, they would feel rising sense of dread that intensified as he moved closer.

"Nwûl tash." The Black Hand recited in his vile voice, "Dzwol shâsotkun."

While Thaurond was not himself a Sith, he had long heard the Code whispered to him in his year on Exegol. He motioned his own pawns to move forward with him, volleying their own blaster-shots at their Light-serving enemies. He continued reciting the Code, seeming to psych himself up into a fury. Closer he came until he closed about three-quarters of the gap between himself and the Jedi Master and his team.

"Ashajontû kotswinot itsu nuyak....Wonoksh Qyâsik nun!" He howled with an unholy rage, "Defensive positions!"

His loyal legion soon sunk into the sand, practically digging their heels in. They would die upon this spot unless commanded otherwise. The burning eye of Thaurond's helm looked into Zark's direction, moving his body into the opening stance of Form IV.

"Come face me, Jedi!" He challenged, awaiting its response...

Interest had been something she'd been sorely missing, uninterested in what would have been essentially a one-sided fight were she to have given the man even a modicum of the dedication she'd given the Silver Jedi when she'd kept one of their grandmasters prisoner, but that interest came to her tenfold when the presence of three in the light side of the force neared the subterranean facility from above - one hundred times over when her cousin, Darth Carnifex Darth Carnifex crawled out of the shadows in a way that she'd nearly made her trademark by now. She grimaced at the man's reaction towards her identity, his assumption precisely the one she'd been bothered by when she knew where that conversation thread would've been going to when she decided to answer him, but rather than return it with the same apathy she'd been giving him up until now she allowed a shift in her demeanor to form.

"No." She disagreed with a sigh, taking a quarter step back with a pivot to the side on her left heel so that his reactivating saber burst open nearly harmlessly in the space directly ahead of her chest. Though being struck with the equivalent of a burning slap across the face hadn't given her much pause, due nearly entirely to her own force of will spurring her on to make herself much less considerate to her own well-being as a means of demoralization, she wasn't too keen on being run through with a lightsaber. Death was, and always would be, an eventuality - she preferred to be its dealer for as long as possible, not arrogantly take a lightsaber to the chest only for some upstart Jedi to blow her apart with an imbued blade of light or something clever like that.

"His cousin." She elaborated while her lightsaber flew from her right to her left, placing it closer to Rand, and lifted the blade upwards in a sweeping motion against his thrusting blade to knock it high. Her expression had subtly hardened, her focus split between the man and the attention she was giving to the newly arriving Jedi's presences outside, but years of dueling multiple of his ilk simultaneously had afforded her that kind of balance in attentiveness. Her right hand, free now, came thrusting towards him as if she was intending to strike him with an open palm - she opted, instead, to give him a taste of the lightning he had been so keen to preemptively give her. Her right leg that came sweeping in as she rotated towards him in that movement gave him another thrust of telekinetic energy, just as minor as the one before but overwhelming him with sensory overload had been its only purpose.

An imbued blade of Light would have killed her? Feth! Starlin had one of those, but he left it at home!

Hindsight is a schutta!

His cousin?” Starlin’s reactivated blade having missed her chest, he was back in motion, avoiding getting locked in. “Eh, okay. Can’t say I really care about familial connections, though.

She knocked his blade up high. He recognized what she was trying to do, clever girl, and activated the second blade of his saber to compensate. But instead of a thrust or slash of her saber, that second blade wound up grinding her lightning.

Damn girl, you sure are stimulating!” Starlin muttered through grit teeth. Her telekinesis pushed him backwards, his socks sliding across the floor, but his blade was taking the electrical discharge like a champ, leaving him unscathed, if a little strained. “‘I walk in shadow and darkness; Ashla, shield me from wickedness’…"

The Ward Against the Dark took some of the pressure off, creating a barrier around him. Starlin advanced toward Mori, slowly at first, his movements hampered by the overload as he beat back against her Force assault.

Y’know, I can tell you find me boring,” he said, detaching his hilt into two separate blades. A double-bladed lightsaber was cool when you had plenty of space, but in this narrow corridor full of his fellow Jedi defenders, space was a luxury he did not have. “Which is a shame, since I like to think I’m a pretty interesting guy. Still, if this fight is that tedious to you, why not go find somebody else to play with?

Finally within range again, he struck fast and hard, driving into a ferocious Jar’Kai that made his pajama pants flap in the wind with every sharp, agile movement.

Or have you noticed that I’m not so easy to kill?

"Feth!" that was my reaction when the man withstood the attack much better than the Mongrel did on Carlac. Maybe he was still too far from me when I shot him. However, I didn’t want to make the same mistake as Ziare. Even not if I exist because of that mistake.

Since the body wasn’t particularly strong - and then I still think I was subtly worded, I didn’t really want to experiment with what it’s like to have a melee with a man. Who, moreover, is a Jedi. I watched his movements, what he was doing. I could see that his armour was damaged and maybe he was also in parts that were not fully protected by the armour. However, history has repeated itself, he did not give up and approached, just like Mongrel did before.

There were two options, either he wanted to cut me in half or the rifle. Unfortunately, I didn't like either option. However, the sand gave a great idea, which was especially useful if the man was not wearing a helmet. I was already squatting as he headed towards me and then took a handful of sand in my hand at the same time as the double jump. When he strike on me, I rolled to the side while trying to throw the sand into his face, hoping it would blind him temporarily. If so, I can easily shoot him after my movements.

However, immediately after rolling, I got up by facing the man again. After all, a wretched Jedi, I had to be prepared for the sand to be ineffective against him as well. If not, I will have a few seconds to figure out how to act against him.

By the time of this return to Jakku, The Mongrel had witnessed battles beyond counting. He was deeply familiar with all the various steps of the different dances of war - the straightforward clash, the cunning ambush, the outflanking maneuver, the high ground against the low. This particular battle seemed likely to lean toward one of the simpler dances. The enemy Jedi and marines, striking down from orbital drop pods, were simply surging toward their position in an open rush. They had no armor, no artillery, no trenches or bulwarks, just soldiers and Force-knight champions.

The Mongrel liked simple. It was easy to enjoy.

Thaurond, that other warlord, drove forward to meet the Alliance reinforcements... and The Mongrel got his first look at Maweth's replacement in action. He felt the wave of magical fear that radiated out from the warlord, saw him deflecting incoming fire with a laser-sword of his own. He would be an equal and opposite to the Jedi he faced, using their same sorcerous techniques but twisted to serve the Brotherhood's dark goals. The Mongrel could not relate, for he had no grasp of magic. He was the only warlord to lack that well of endless power, unable to even sense it.

He was forced to make up for it in other ways.

The Mongrel could see one of those ways rolling in now, kicking up dust as they raced over the dunes. The old LuchsHai cargo speeders had been intended to become the newest workhorses of industry, quickly hauling important equipment and freight over rough and rugged terrain across the Chiss Ascendancy and, if they sold well, far beyond. But the destruction of Csilla had broken many dreams, and what might have become a major civilian mainstay had instead been turned to the purpose of Mawite conquest. They were technicals now, highly mobile weapons platforms perfect for guerrilla warfare.

Manned by Mawite slave-soldier auxiliaries, the LuchsHai landspeeders filled two important gaps that had hindered the Brotherhood on the battlefield across its many battles. The first was a lack of vehicles; Mawites had scavenged walkers and speeder bikes, but nothing to fill the role of troop transports and little in the way of heavy support until the LuchsHais had been modified to fill either role. The second was a lack of artillery, the weapon that had blunted the ground assault on Csilla and driven back the Scar Hounds on Carlac, now mounted on the trucks.

The Mongrel still despised long-range warfare, considering it cowardly, but he recognized the necessity of countering it.

It was good that the speeder trucks would soon arrive. The artillery might be less useful in this particular battle, with the enemy so spread out, but the E-WEB repeaters that some of the LuchsHais carried would be devastating against massed infantry. Further, the auxiliaries themselves were fierce and powerful troops, savage scavenger barbarians not so dissimilar from The Mongrel himself when he had first been inducted into the Brotherhood. The warlord stepped forward, toward the approaching plumes of dust, ready to greet and direct these reinforcements.

They would hold the line against the Jedi attack.

Darth Senthral
Occupation: Sith Apprentice to Darth Tennacus Darth Tennacus
Objective: Kill the Light Friends
Weaponry: Crimson Cross-Guard Lightsaber "Hope's End", DL-22 Blaster Pistol, and the Dark Side
Engaging: Ishani Dinn Ishani Dinn and Vaylin Vaylin

Darth Senthral could hear the screams of those he'd slain well. He had once been told by one such dead, that death was lighter than a feather. So why now did they screech horrendously to him? Perhaps punishment for all sins, or perhaps it was just a reminder of duty always heavy as a mountain. A crimson blade now raised for one eye to gaze on brought him back to the now, and with it he knew that duty. Slaughter the opposers, lest they can be convinced to do otherwise- not likely.

The actions to begin were slow, his enemies made stance, and perhaps had many other worries beside himself. No matter, he would lighten their burdens by force if necessary.
"A lesson. Learn to lay your sights on not the immediate danger, but the greatest." With a flow of air and some switching sound his mask came free with one hand, and he dropped it to the ground. Blonde hair, and once blue eyes, and yet no longer the face of a seemingly noble-born boy. A great 'saber scar painted down his forehead vertically, cutting off before the ridge of his nose began, and his eyes were the same pitch black as the loth-wolf's were.

The crimson blade was now outstretched and the peek of it lay before the loth-wolf's eyes.
"Which of you then first?" Eyes darted to the attacking xenomorph covered in flames now, and then the one that had tailed him in, the eye's that held the Will of the Force. They both dashed back, the one aflame dropped as a burning corpse, and the remaining stared with some greater hunger. "I have seen enough, know we are no creatures. We can both think beyond our instincts." Eyes were on the two enemies before himself, and the Jedi's company, and yet a quick glance to his wolf companion made his meaning clear.


"Zabrak? Jedi? Or he who names me unlicked? Which of you will be first?"

Objective: Assist in the defense of the Enclave

Accompanied by: Arlo Renard, a Chaldean Mystic
Tags: Darth Senthral Darth Senthral (engaging) Vaylin Vaylin

Arlo giggled as Senthral removed his helmet to reveal a scarred boy’s visage. The Mystic’s own facial scars, two diagonal cuts across either of his eyes that crossed paths in the middle of his forehead, appeared ritualistic at first glance. But the pale gouges in his dark skin were marks of torture, straight and precise only because he had been held down as they were inflicted upon him.

Vaylin might have imitated the stance and growl of an animal, but Arlo’s amethyst eyes held a truly rabid glint.

“I thought you Sith were ferocious fighters who took on hordes of enemies, always striking first.” He grinned. “But you want a duel, whelp? I’ll give you a duel you’ll never forget.”

Clutching his spear in both his calloused hands, Arlo strolled forward. His stride shifted abruptly from casual to predatory as he jabbed the blunt end of the weapon toward Senthral’s face in the long-distance equivalent of a sucker punch.
 
"What justice from the servants of light!"

"Justice? There is no justice here, Jedi."

"I don't think they care!" Dagon's voice crackled over the comlink.

Master San Tekka closed his eyes and bowed his head in sorrow. He knew young Jedi like Dagon needed someone to help them find their place in all this. Was war all he had to teach them?

"Don't make us destroy you."

As if in response to his ultimatum the Maw raiders detonated their first explosives within the Enclave's primary tunnel shaft. Time slowed down. His aura began to radiate coalescing energy. For those Jedi en route Zark's form appeared as a powerful beacon of light. Tainted souls found it temporarily blinding.

"No."

Zark reached out with the Force and reshaped reality. As more sabotage caused the tunnels below to collapse with debris, he caught the worst of it mid descent. Size did not matter to a Jedi but still even a battlemind couldn't hold the crumbling Enclave together forever. Yet each moment meant another life saved.

"Nwûl tash. Dzwol shâsotkun."

Those words struck him like a physical blow. It was black speech, some bastard ur-Kittât dialect infused with dark thoughts made manifest. His concentration weakened and waves of fear sundered the Jedi General's meld with Talon Squad and Knight Kaze. They could no longer rely on Zark's battle meditation skills to overwhelm the Maw with supernatural will.

"Come face me, Jedi!"

"Your dark pacts will not avail you," he aimed the crossguard saber in challenge, "Go back to the shadow."

Form VI was not a traditional stance to take, but when Master San Tekka channeled all of his focus through the energy blade he moved with a strength and speed which could quickly overwhelm a lesser duelist. Both warrior monks crossed blades as their forces clashed around them. Soon the blur of strike and counter strike became too rapid for most eyes to follow.

<<Zark, Romi. I’ll try to join you on the surface soon.>>

"A little busy right now Starchaser," Zark answered the buzzing comlink on his forearm through gritted teeth, "Just hurry."

Sensing a potential opening, when they disengaged the Jedi Master attempted to seize hold of the Maw sorcerer's body with his mind and pull it into the path of his blade.

She ignored the man's mutterings, disinterested in whatever it was that was going through his head in the moment that her telekinetic shove pushed him some modest distance away, and determined that it was time to return the favor for the series of attempts he had made to try to push things in his favor. She knew that the steady pace of their fight wasn't accomplishing much more on her end than to stall things out to see if the newer arrivals would be any more interesting than him, and it was clear that there wasn't really an answer in Rand's set of skills to give him any serious edge that might make up for their difference in relative skill or experience.

Though she was somewhat more impressed by the dual sabers - it was something she'd done, herself, but her preference had been slowly moving away from the use of lightsabers and more towards traditional weaponry ever since she created the Talon of Typhojem, though it had been destroyed on Korriban by Allyson Locke - and felt her interest, in him at least, piqued by something that was far less orthodox than she had expected from him. "I would've been a bit more invested in seeing things through with you if you had started things off this way." She countered, immediately shifting everything from the look on her face to the demeanor with which she stood with.

Already her feet had been sliding wider apart, the gap in her knees growing, when he'd made another one of his little chants, but as he tried his hand at taunting her she jumped at the chance of having a competent fight at last - assuming splitting his saberstaff in two wasn't just a gimmick to catch people like her off-guard. She pushed forwards as his first strike came down towards her, unwilling to evade him when the thrill of the fight was finally coming back to her, and brought her lightsaber up to meet his while his second came in from another angle to take advantage of the fact that, by simple arithmetic alone, he possessed a quantitative edge over her with two lightsabers as opposed to her one. Or, at least, he would've if not for the fact that she'd imbued telekinetic energy into the blade of her lightsaber and discharged it against him with as much force as she could possibly manage.

She'd do what he did, take advantage of her own resources to play with her a food a little before things came to an inevitable close. He had two lightsabers so she'd make certain that to use both would be to his detriment - hard to hold a blade in place with a single hand when heavier, telekinetically enhanced, strikes were being used to bat them back, after all. There'd be measures he could take to compensate for that, of course, but she wasn't too concerned with whether or not her change in, or, rather, adoption of, strategy would give her a lasting edge; while he might come to realize what is that she intends to do and figure out a way to deal with that, it was the first few seconds that were all that mattered to her.

His cute attempt at a barrier wasn't something he'd be maintaining while trying to cut her down, either, which was precisely why each forward movement of her feet kicked up the same minor telekinetic shove as the ones she'd used before to ensure there was as little window for him to push on the offensive as possible. "You're mistaken if you think I've been trying to kill you, by the way." She noted as she considered the metallic surface they were fighting on - particularly how they'd started this fight in the first place. Rather than passively react as she had been, or retaliate as she'd started to shift towards as Rand started to show some promise as an adversary, the Sith instead capitalized on their "terrain" and her predilection for environmental control to channel lightning down through her feet and into the steel flooring towards the Jedi.


"Though maybe I should be."
 

Halketh

Libertas quae sera tamen



The Dark Lord pressed, traipsing over the corpses his whim had twisted beyond recognition. The splash of his boots saw him venture through the carnage, aimed for the mess of an illusion woven by the efforts of a Knight previously unnoticed. Jared Starchaser Jared Starchaser . Younglings; the next generation to be subdued and broken into shape, molded by twisted hands shielding manipulation behind the veil of piety. Raising them as the next generation within his fold would prove far more fruitful than just slaughtering them outright- they were young enough to be redeemed. The Dark Lord swept through the narrowing hall until it spilled into a widening chamber, a hub of sorts.

It was when he poised to move toward the living chambers that the illusion dissipated and instead, his Sight illuminated with the commanded surge of The Force pulsating within the walls surrounding him. He paused, tilting his head slowly in the direction the energy flowed, watching the ribbons of might woven into another mystical tapestry for the defensive side. The heat licking his skin and burning his lungs was dampened, replaced then by its stark foil; frost. Another Knight joined the fray, painting his own brushstrokes into the canvas of churning chaos.

It was an elemental effort, one that generated a rapid field of frost to slow movements and hinder agility.

And most importantly, it was not aimed in his direction.

Beyond the conjuration, the graven priest who had hallowed his Crown's halls battled another elemental force- a Battlemaster generating enough electrical charge to power invoke the wrath of maelstrom outright. Their combined efforts lain in Dakrul's direction afforded the Dark Lord approaching them enough time to bend The Force to his own whim. Bodies were merely conductors, channels, for The Force to flow. His evolved Sight revealed the perpetual ley lines in each muscle, how it trickled and flowed into veins, pooling into a collective well where the true aura of Force Users called softly from their cores.

He watched them with Sight beyond sight, each shimmering movement highlighted by his mind's eye.

The threads tugging their limbs and stimulating their motions, he bore witness to in silent appraisal.

The pestilence of his Presence swelled as he took to animation of his own, reaching out with a gauntleted hand toward the two Jedi opposite of his corridor. The very threads of The Force he watched flicker and dance before him became his focus and with exertion, his own twisted energy poured into them. His sorcerous malice drove its razors into the wall of frost thrown up by Jared Starchaser Jared Starchaser , the first hand gripping for the shatterpoint in the effort itself. He pried and pried, his mastery seeking to combust the coalesced power directly in an explosive area-of-effect attack that would fling residual essence indiscriminately in the tightly enclosed space.

As he did as much, his second hand raised to join its twin and his focus sought the leylines of power weaving through Caltin Vanagor Caltin Vanagor . That very channel, the connection he held with elemental might, served as conduit enough. Once more, the Dark Lord of the Sith funneled his energy into the crackling blanket beneath the Battlemaster's flesh. For a moment, he may have felt his power grow as Caelitus's corruptive hand connected with him through the ties that bind.

Yet the insidiousness of the empyrean assault would make itself known quickly enough, as The Divine attempted to shatter the very energy within Caltin with the intention of breaking him outright.


"Hiding behind the illusions of children, are we, Jedi?" thus he spoke, his voice a ringing bell through the corridor, fed through the carnage to be heard resolutely. He strode closer methodically, plated hands coming to rest folded over one another before his abdomen with each predatory step, "A tiresome tale, yet it grows far more delightful each time it crosses my path. Shall I show you my favorite ending?"

He offered them no succor.

Both hands splayed outward, illuminating the corridor with streaming lances of crimson lightning with absolutely no regard for his ally in the field of fire.

She was doing the thing with telekinesis again, this time funneling those energies into her lightsaber so that it rang like a gong and blasted him back every time his blade met hers. As convenient as it would have been, Starlin had no spell to negate telekinetic force. He could either resist it, as he had been doing, taking whatever hits he managed to land as little gifts from the Force, or he could try something different.

Or a little of both.

He struck. She parried. The telekinesis pushed him backwards, his feet sliding.

Well, why are you here then, if not to kill Jedi?" he asked.

He pushed forward to attack her again. His right blade swept down toward her shoulder, the left following it in an upward arc. Both proved to be feints, intended to misdirect. While she was (hopefully) still holding her arms up to fend them off, he aimed a sudden sharp kick at her stomach.

That was when the lightning caught him.

His Ward caught the beginnings of the storm, then quickly began to flicker. It winked out, and suddenly the floor was electrocuting him. His body jerked, muscles locking up as the lightning coursed through him. He tasted blood in his mouth from where his clenched jaw had bitten his tongue.

He fought through the pain, if only because he had to. Because if he didn’t, she would cut him down while he was seizing. Or someone else would, if she didn’t—there were a lot of Sith in that hallway at the moment.

The electricity entered him and left like breath, Tutaminis his savior. Pajamas smoking, Starlin purified what she had put into him, then returned it to sender in a blast of shapeless green energy.
