Post: #2.
Everything was happening so fast.
Blaster fire erupted throughout the Temple, along with the ignition of lightsabers, fighting and yelling as either side engaged one another. Cordelia Dimitte had suddenly departed from their post without warning, leaving Balun torn about how to proceed. He wanted to go with her, to ensure she remained safe; Cordelia had recently returned to the light, and so her ability to protect herself with the Force was crippled, weakened until she learned to find strength in the light's embrace...-And yet, Balun also owed everything that he knew to the New Jedi Order. He had come to help defend them.
Before long, it seemed that both Valin Zenth had spotted Cordelia as she moved, and from the looks they both worse, Balun assumed they had taken Cordelia for an enemy combatant; "No, you idiot! She's with the Jedi!" he shouted out after them, yet the shouting of battle between himself and the direction the three were moving could not make sure they had heard him.
Blaster fire ricocheted off the pillar that Balun stood beside. He flinched and turned, ducking low as his right hand triggered his lightsaber's ignition. The sudden emission of burning orange light engulfed the floor around his feet with a snap-hiss that echoed against the sounds of combat, Balun no longer able to ignore the fight that had been drawn to him. He pressed forward, moving to keep himself an uneasy target whilst swinging his blade as his instincts drove his strikes, parrying and deflecting blaster bolts that came too close for comfort.
Before he could understand what was happening, Balun came face to face with one of the Imperial Troopers of the Dark Empire. The helmed soldier immediately drew his blaster rifle in Balun's direction. However, the boy brought the blade of his Lightsaber in a high vertical arc, cutting the rifle in two. Then, with his left hand still free, he reached out with all his strength in the Force and sent the trooper sprawling with a telekinetic push.
Balun Vale had never taken a life, never been forced to. Yet this fight quickly made it apparent that he might have to do so, to keep himself and other Jedi safe.
