Enemies: [member="C-02"]

It wasn't missed by Jairdain just how torn Yuroic was, but now was not the time to dwell on that. They had a job to do and later they would have the opportunity to hopefully talk. Maybe over drinks or dinner, just the two of them. Not that she disliked the company of Asaraa, but some things were meant to be dealt with privately. She felt this was one of them.

Watching the newly knighted sort of former padawan of hers reaching out through the Force, she smiled and did not stop her. It became clear they were a divided group on which was more important. The how or the why. She still felt figuring out how was more important and nodded when her friend said they had gone off in a certain direction.

Turning her head to indicate she was listening to what Abi had to say and gave her a small smile in agreement. Sometimes it was only under extreme or odd circumstances that people came together. That seemed to be the case with her and Abigail.

"Hopefully the next time we meet, it can be under something more pleasant. For now, we should get this prince found and figure out why he was taken."

Chuckling when Yuroic said he liked Abi, her focus turned back to him as they started to follow the trail Asaraa had indicated. The points he made were important and she nodded in a serious manner. Hearing him take out his bow and the feeling of dread coming off him along with his words...almost made the hair on the back of her neck stand up.

"A battle happened...I can feel the death around. This was more than a crash. Our answer is up ahead. I feel it."

Reaching out with the Force, she felt the nature around them. Wanting information, she communicated with the creatures of the forest for information. Until some answer came from there, she would remain quiet about what she just did. Not touching any of her weapons to use, one of her hands lowered to hover near to lightsaber.

​

Well now, this didn't look good at all. Yuroic was many many things, but someone who overreacted he wasn't...much, if he thought there was something wrong right now then there probably was. Without thinking Asaraa's hand reached for the lightsaber at her waist, the metal cylinder a reassuring pressure in her hand as she through her senses open, sweeping them up and out through the forest around them. The forest veritably teemed with life, a glow that filled her mind as Asaraa took a step forward, eyes looking without really seeing as she gave the man a sad smile. "I hope he's alive...but like you said, whoever did this, they know what they're doing. That means they want him for something very specific." What went unsaid was the fact that he was either dead or a hostage who hadn't been negotiated for yet. So either they had what they wanted, or were going to get it anyway...in which case what did they need him alove for anymore. Nothing about this situation was looking very good but the pink-haired Jedi wasn't going to let any of that show on her face, "So, what do you think's waiting?"

The girl's blue eyes as she looked around, taking a few large steps forward, positioning herself just in front and to the side of Jairdain. The woman was powerful, extremely so, there was no denying that but...if a fight ensued, if there was trouble, well then she didn't want to risk anything happening to her. "I just want to point out, I have a really really bad feeling about this."

Objective: Mines
Allies: [member="Setter Ryburn"] [member="Sabine Galen"]
Enemies: Zakkeg

The lock picking process took a while, but now that the zakkeg is dead or at least in no position to harm the poor miners trapped in cages, these miners actually realize that whoever put them into a cage, could have had ulterior motives for them. Realizing, however, they were in poor shape, he hoped that Sabine knew how to make them recover enough to get out of the mine. Once the door was open, these poor miners, however grateful they may have been, clearly weren't in their best of shape so it took some time getting those miners out of the cages. He had to help some of them out to the extent he could safely do it at his size, and could do it without causing undue problems to them. And it was making him a little uneasy, but then again, some of the miners were uneasy, too. As if they blamed him for what happened to the mine's equipment: to some of the miners, Jawas preyed on unattended heavy machinery of the variety used in the mine. Here he wanted nothing more than to make sure that, once the miners are freed, they will actually address the safety issues at the mine, starting with those caused by the damages to equipment.

 

[Sabine Galen]

Objective: Mines
Allies: [member="Setter Ryburn"], [member="Klesta"]

Sabine waited as Klesta worked to open the cage. Though the immediate thread of the Zakkeg had been well taken care of by Setter, she stayed alert... just in case. Shifting her attention to the bodies on the ground, she did catch sight of blood red robes and a rather strange insignia. Indeed this world had been rumored to have cultists, no doubt these corpses had been members. But, it looks like their plans went awry...

Once Jawa had picked the lock, Sabine moved to his side to help with the miners. Using the force, she gently let it flow from the palm of her hand, just enough to help reinvigorate the miners some. She hoped it would be enough to get them out safely. They were quite a sorry sight, but glad to be free of captivity. She nodded to Klesta as he helped some of them out, and she followed suit – offering her arm as support to escort the men out of the cramped quarters.

“If you could take him,” She said to Setter, pointing to a severely injured man. "He's lost quite a lot of blood."

She herself allowed two to flank her, using her shoulders as support. The others waited behind, using the cave walls or rock formations as support. Sabine took careful steps, leading the two back out of the tunnel – where the daylight waited.

Objective 3: Hide And Seek
Location: Drogheda

The body remained still where it was. As they went along the trail, they would see something move...the body. But with no pulse, no life signs, it couldn't have been possible. It jolted again, on the ground. Suddenly it would jump up and scramble up to move further down the trail. Not saying a single word as it ran. Nothing could scream trap more than this, and the now living body seemed to have rather good reflexes for a being that just came back to life...something was no doubt off about this whole occurrence.

Further down the trail was it's planned destination. A rock formation, with a foreboding darkness inside. The body was headed there. Whatever was inside, it was obvious. It had everything to do with this situation here. Everything about the cave spelled out trap.

Within the cave, there was a beep from the wrist of the prince look-alike. He lifted it up, looking the device on his wrist over. Smirking to himself. "Ah, the guests are due...finally, it was getting so quiet and lonely here." The look-alike moved to take up a position on an empty chair. Now joining the circle of chairs, with bound princes. Seven in total. And as if the situation wasn't creepy enough inside the dark cave, there was a dull humming in a rhythm, as if it was pre-recorded. Like a song of some kind. Echoing throughout the cave.

Abigail briefly chuckled at Yuroic's words before her expression turned serious again. She didn't feel any further need to speak as she focused a bit more on her surroundings. The forest was full of life, but at the same time there was a certain tension that could be felt. Something was waiting to make their move. Waiting for them to come closer.

Abigail immediately stopped moving the second she thought she spotted movement. Something was twitching on the ground, and as Abigail took another look, it seemed to be a body of some sort.

"Over there", she whispered, pointing in its direction a mere second before the not so dead body suddenly jumped to its feet. With a silent gasp Abigail observed it as it started to run along the trail. What was going on? Was she really witnessing a body coming back to life? No, that was impossible. It must've been something else, but whatever it was, she had to find out.

"Someone should tell that person they're dead", Abigail said uneasily, trying to calm her thoughts as she made a quick decision.

Abigail started running after the agile body, but immediately stopped again after only about three steps. All of this was making no sense, but if anything, the body was definitely meant to be seen by her and her companions, which meant it was most likely a trap. Abigail's eyes slightly lit up as instead decided to use the Force to look ahead, following the body's trail as best as she could. If any of the others would choose to follow the body, she wouldn't stop them, but all of this seemed much too suspicious to Abigail.

Sighing, she kept her attention with the Force as she saw brief glimps of a certain rock formation up ahead.
"This is most likely the only lead we have, but we should thread carefully. We're being played with."

Objective 2

The Zakkeg fell under the hail of bullets from [member="Setter Ryburn"] the creature had already been really damaged from it's previous fight and just died from all the bullets deep within it's skin now. [member="Sabine Galen"] and [member="Klesta"] had freed the miners from their cage which many of them quickly praised the three for coming to find them before getting out of the mine and back into the sunlight. Word quickly got to the foreman who arrived very quickly to assess the situation.

After questioning all the miners and checking the mines himself the foreman thanked the three for their services to the mine and hoped it would be open within the next few days with all materials going towards the brave silver jedi who had risked their lives to save the miners. After all it was the least they could do.

With their leader dead and the way they had controlled the Sith spawn taken back off world the cultists were fairly easy to mop up as many either surrendered or died in the ongoing mini fights between them and their beasts. Within hours the last of the cultists would have died, disappeared or were in ranger custody. The world was now the Silvers even if the prince had yet to be found as Lady Tremain who had called the silvers in was the next air in line for the throne until the prince was found again so she held regency declaring the worlds support for the silvers way of life and supporting of the rangers who had assisted them in their time of need.

Amarchri was swimming somewhere.....no that wasn't right. He was just in a battle wasn't he. He had been leading three squads of his men into the city. He had been hit with something and now he was swimming..... How could that be? Now he felt something....He had felt this before a long time ago but he had hidden it away because it wasn't right and now. His back scar flared up as he screamed in pain. He could feel so much and it was overwhelming.

------------------------------------------​

Some time later.....

He woke up and looked around at his surroundings. He was still on planet at least he was on some planet because the window that he was looking out of showed buildings near by. As he looked around further he saw he was in a hospital. He knew because it was all white and smelt clean. He could feel something strange going on like their was a whole new sense he hadn't felt before. Some kind of strange feeling. Something he hadn't felt in a long time.

Soon after a doctor walked in. "Ah Lieutenant Amarchri your up good. I have some news for you. Your right shoulder took a server hit from a bullet. It make take some time for it to heal properly however amazingly your scar has seemly diminished from what it was. It's quiet odd the scar is still there it's just you haven't screamed out at all which according to your normal medical records you should be even when you sleep. In any case their might be a few people here to visit you soon. I'll leave you too it."

It wasn't too much longer when they converged on them. The energy that came from Master Arenais was something nothing short of amazing. Kiran couldn't help but to be momentarily stunned as he cast a glance at the energy that the Master emitted. And just like that the moment past just as quickly as it cam as the Jedi Padawan reached for his lightsaber and ignited the blade and did whatever he could and defended those that he could until the area around them became secure. However one of their own was injured and the Jedi Master was tending to him.

The Jedi Padawan caught his breath a bit as he glanced around looking to continue the trek and finish off the rest of the spawn.

Oomy and Tyluko swiveled their heads around in surprise at Kladro's sudden suggestion to go in as a distraction by themselves. Oomy turned towards his master and then back at the Zabrak, putting his metal hand under his face in a thinking position.

"An interesting suggestion indeed. It would no doubt help to form a distraction but it could nonetheless be very dangerous for us."

Oomy turned towards the holotable and gestured to a section of heavily wooded area deep within cultist territory.

"Kladro does have a valid point though master, if the three of us can succeed in drawing the cultists attention to our position, it could ease pressure on other task forces attempting to move into the area"

Oomy then turned to Kladro, "Does that seem like a valid strategy, or did you have more in mind?"

Tyluko listed to his two companions talk about this new plan, with much going through his mind. Sure, the three of them were formidable fighters but they had no idea what they were up against. He was worried they were going in essentially blind. However, he could sense a feeling of determination behind his zabrak comrade. Kladro was firm in his belief that the three of them could emerge victorious against these odds.

Tyluko put his hand on Kladros shoulder "I am unsure of the right path, but I am willing to trust you. I say we go with your plan" He said with a gentle smile.


Tyluko looked towards a gathering of Jedi nearby. "However, if we are to go through with this then I believe we should make someone aware of our goings. One of the Jedi Masters in charge."

[SIZE=9pt]Kladro's heart started beating very rapidly. Under Nekros, Kladro killed many jedi and he felt bad about it, he felt like an enemy to them. He felt like he could never be a jedi, but yet he realized he is already one. Kladro looked at his two companions, and he kind of smirked to himself. [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]"What a weird group we have here. A fish out of water, a droid with probably a couple screws loose, and himself, a blind zabrak who surprisingly is very good at fight and is force sensitive."[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"I think that's a good idea, don't want to go wandering off without anyone knowing of our plan" Kladro said to his two companions with a little shakiness to his voice.[/SIZE]

Oomy listened to his masters suggestion about speaking with a couple of Jedi Masters first before heading off into the woods. He was quite interested in how this interaction would go down particularly because he knew how Kladro felt about dealing with other Jedi. The Zabrak did not like interacting with other Jedi and was most likely due to what the droid calculated was a sense of shame in the past. Kladro had once very much been an enemy to the Jedi and had done many terrible things in service to the Sith Lich, Darth Nekros. Oomy looked briefly at the lightsaber on the blind warriors hip. "Much has that blade done in the name of darkness. Kladro must wish to right his wrongs and to atone for his failures. This has now become a personal crusade of redemption for Kladro" Oomy thought to himself

As the pair started to make their way towards a couple of Jedi over at a command table Oomy quickly followed behind his organic comrades. As they approached a pair of Jedi conversing he noticed one of them wore some sort of mask and googles on his face providing some sort of gas. He quickly deduced that this was a Kel Dorian, which according to his data banks were some of the best Jedi in history. The other Jedi was an insectoid being which Oomy almost immediately recognized as Geonosian; afterall, how could Oomy forget the faces of the race that built him in the droid foundries of Geonosis. Geonosians were a rare find in the galaxy and an even rarer sight in the Jedi Order especially after how the Geonosians were almost completely wiped out by the Galactic Empire in the decade following the end of the Clone Wars.

Oomy was interested to see how this interaction would go down.

Tyluko led the trio over to the pair of Jedi Masters who were currently conversing with Antarian Rangers of the Silver Jedi. As they approached he could sense his comrade Kladro tense up through the Force. "Kladro must be nervous about interacting with other Jedi due to his past, I cannot say I blame him. However, if he is to put his dark past behind him he must prove himself and doing this mission for the Jedi might help prove to himself and the others of the Order that he can become a Jedi".

As the trio approached they were met with the gaze of the Kel Dor and Geonosian Jedi. Tyluko was not familiar with the Geonosian Jedi but he did recognize the Kel Dor Jedi from his days in the Temple on Voss and he had also seen him a few times on Kashyyyk. Tyluko bowed in respect to the elder Jedi. "Pardon the intrusion my masters, I was hoping that my companions and myself could talk to you about a possible strategy that we have"

The Kel Dor looked at them "Koh-to-ya Tyluko, I have seen you around on Voss and Kashyyyk a few times. I am glad that you are here as we need all the help we can get in this operation." The Kel Dor gestured towards his Geonosian comrade “This is Master Tol Zoglir and for those of you who do not know me I am Master Yars Yur.”

Tyluko smiled at the gentle nature of the Kel Dor Master. Tyluko then gestured to himself and his companions “I am Tyluko Dubykee and this is my droid OOM-7795.” He then gestured to his Zabrak companion “And this is Kladro Uz’ra. We have a plan that we wanted to discuss about disrupting the cul….” However before Tyluko could finish The Geonosian Jedi cut him off and pointed at Kladro

“This one is tainted with darkness! He is a danger to us here! How can we trust him to help us here? I can sense conflict within him, this one struggles with the darkness”

Tyluko was taken aback by the abruptness and harshness of the Insectoid Jedi. He was just about to defend his comrade but the Kel Dor spoke before he could. “Master Zoglir, that is hardly a way to make a first impression.” The Geonosian crossed his arms in frustration as Master Yur looked at Kladro “My collegue is not wrong however. You have been touched by the dark…..but that does not mean that we can’t trust you. All of us face our own battles everyday but a Jedi must learn to not let their past failures define them. The Force has obviously guided you to this moment for a reason. It is your duty to determine what your purpose is here. So I ask you….. What is this plan you speak of and can we count on you?” The Jedi Placed a hand on Kladro’s shoulder.
