Private Change of Management

[Darth Xyrah]

Location: Space Station above Cantonica
Post: 1

Weeks had been spent planning for this moment. Saryn and his new bride to be, Kaila, had desired a new world to rule over and settle down on, and the luxuries of Canto Bight were more than to both of their liking. Progress had been made in securing a takeover of Canto Bight's operations with the more agreeable of the current board of directors, but a few members were being particularly stubborn. They would need to be removed less pleasantly. And fortunately for Saryn and Kaila, those directors who were willing to play ball were more than happy to help "speed things along" by providing the security codes for the board of director's private space station above Cantonica itself.

The station found itself quickly blockaded by one of Saryn's fleets. There would be no escape for their targets this day. A lone shuttle emerged from one of the ships in the fleet, speeding towards the station's main hangar before touching down within. As the ramp lowered, Saryn and his beloved descended, their forms obscured with long black cloaks and hoods. Soon enough, security teams rushed into the hangar to intercept them. Saryn smirked beneath his hood, before shedding his cloak to reveal the bodysuit beneath and the newly crafted double-bladed saberstaff affixed to his back. He drew it forth, before igniting both of it's red blades. "It's been so long since we fought beside one another, my love. I can't wait to see what you've learned.", he said with a smile. "....And what I've learned.", he followed up with, before using force speed to close the distance between himself and the security officers so the carnage might commence.

Kaila had worked tirelessly between her duties to Darth Carnifex to facilitate the takeover of Canto Bight which had finally come. She had bribed the Corporate Sector Authority who would no longer intervene on behalf of the city officials once they realized what was happening, set up smuggling networks to retain favor with Adeline Noctua by supplying corpses to her necromantic army, and even become one of the leading Underbosses of the Haxion Brood. She had done all this and more to secure the future that she and Darth Xyrah , her dear Saryn, were building today.

The compromise which led to these events was uneasy. She would remain loyal to Carnifex, even if begrudgingly, never challenging his authority nor openly plotting against him. But she would soon marry her dear Saryn once Cantonica was theirs.

But for him, she could do this.

He had been the only positive to her continued existence since the day she was forced to become her master's apprentice, cared for her when no one else would. He'd kept her going when nothing else could. She wasn't blind to the fact that he was buying her loyalty to their shared master, to his husband, nor that it would mean sharing a lover with the man she hated, who'd stolen everything- down to her memory- from the young sith.

But they loved one another all the same, in their own strange way.

And it is for this reason that she would keep the discovery of their master's deception a secret, ensuring he would never be given reason to come between them. And it is for that reason which she would continue to serve at both their sides.

"It's been so long since we fought beside one another, my love. I can't wait to see what you've learned.", he said with a smile. "....And what I've learned."

"Far too long, dear" she afforded the world one last little smile as she strode forth beside her fiancé.

As he suddenly crossed the threshold, Kailia threw the silken cloak over her shoulder, revealing the sleek black armor and bodyglove she wore underneath, and the dual lightsabers tucked neatly into their holsters about her hip.

The nearest guard draw his blaster, but with the flick of her thumb, she popped the lock loose from her own, a Violet blade springing to life in a crescent arc that severed both blaster and head from shoulders as she began her onslaught.

By the time his companions had turned away to defend their rear, previously distracted by Saryn's agile dash, Kaila had already thrown her second lightsaber, the Crimson shoto blade spinning at alarming speed, removing several heads faster than they could comprehend what was happening. By the time last man knew it was coming, ducking under the blow, Kaila was already upon him in a graceful lunge, momentarily skewering him upon her violet blade until the second circled around behind her, prompting her to simply spin around and lift the blade, cutting him down the middle whilst she caught the flying shoto in her opposite hand.

With several kills to her name already, she stole a glance at Saryn to observe his progress.

And perhaps the fit his bodyglove while she was at it.

Saryn was like a whirlwind of destruction as he charged into a large group of security guards, cleaving through their numbers with the precision and grace of a ballet dancer. A craftier member of the security force attempted to leap down on Saryn from a balcony above in the hangar bay, but was suddenly caught mid-flight with the force and sent hurtling into an incoming group of his colleagues, knocking them all unconscious.

"Your form is impeccable, my love.", he said in compliment to his beloved Kaila, smirking when he caught her catching a cheeky peek at him mid-battle. He quickly noticed another group of security rushing into the hangar to reinforce their comrades, and casually strolled past Kaila before unleashing a torrent of force lightning towards the enemy reinforcements, quickly dispatching them. "....For people as rich as me you think they would've hired more professional mercenaries.", he teased, chuckling softly.
