Dark Disappearances (The Order of the Grey)

[Nyos Val]

Ignore.

 

[Talos Rygat]

Talos let the others fight the two attackers as he had no light saber. He moved into the cave after them and as they came to the entrance of the opening. Talos disappeared into thin air. He used Force cloak and conceal to hide himself completely. This technique combo would take a lot to maintain. He began to breath with his mouth open.

He slid into the room and off to the side. He prepared to unleash a Force Blast as soon as the fighting started.

 

[Minna]

Minna noticed the bodies on the tables were suffering with every minute lost; they couldn't wait any longer. Noticing Talos cloak past, she silently moved towards the men on the other side of the room. Once she had passed all the tables, she ignited her white lightsaber and sprung forward, aiming to slice the farthest man's back. When she landed behind him and tried to slice, she also sent a force push to Prince Aros to try and keep him out of lightsaber reach for a short time. Her eyes quickly looked to Veino, nodding for him to join the fight.

[Prince Aros]

Prince Aros sensed something coming towards them, and so he ignited his red saberstaff, knocking Minna's lightsaber aside to prevent her from slicing his follower. As the other man turned around to see what happened, Aros was pushed back by Minna's force push, causing him to stumble towards the tables. He saw Minna nod towards the cavern entrance, and so he turned and approached it. His eyes fixed on Veino's as he stood in the middle of the tables, his saberstaff in position. "Kill the green thing, I'll get this one..." Aros began to rush forward, aiming to send one side of his saberstaff slicing diagonally at Veino.

The other man brought a lightsaber into each hand, igniting their red blades. "Prepare to die." He muttered, before attempting to slice inwards from both sides at the Yodaling, very aggressively.

 

[Veino Garn]

Veino saw [member="Prince Aros"] rush towards him, and his lightsaber crackled to life. He center in the Force, and froze it, leaping forward to meet the diagonal slash with a diagonal parry of his own. He shoved forward against the blade, using the Force to augment his strength, seeking to knock his opponent backwards. He would follow it up a low to high diagonal slash, trail on the blade behind his wrist.

 

[Minna]

Minna leaped high above the two lightsabers, sending her own strike straight down at the man's head, then aiming to land behind him. If she landed perfectly, she would spin around and send a flurry of blows, before leaping behind him again to keep her distance. After landing, Minna brought out her other lightsaber, igniting it, but using the force to throw it at Prince Aros, hoping to catch him off guard while he was fighting Veino.

 

[Prince Aros]

The Prince grunted as he was forced backwards by the parry, but a smirk remained on his face. His saberstaff came up as he used the other end of it to hit under Veino's upward slash, using the contact to send it out of his way. As he was about to produce a counter attack, he instead had to spin around, smashing the incoming lightsaber to the ground. Once he had defended himself from Minna's throwing attack, he quickly turned back to Veino, holding his saberstaff horizontally. Aros began to send a flurry of attacks, using both ends of his saber, one at a time. Left blade, right blade, left blade, right blade. His anger and bloodlust fuelled his repeated attacks, blindly hoping to break through Veino's defense.

The other man brought up his left saber to block Minna's over head attack, spinning himself around to continue facing her. As her flurry of attacks came, he worked hard to keep any of them hitting him. Unfortunately for him, the Yodalings blade caught the back of his left hand, causing him to drop one of his lightsabers. With only one saber left, he watched as Minna leaped over him again. While she was throwing the blade, he saw a chance, and so he charged forward, attempting to slice left-to-right across the Yodaling's tiny body.

 

[Darth Vaildra]

Hakora entered the temple shortly behind the others with his sister. He saw the fighting and really wanted to join, but mission first. "Alex, we should free the students while the others hold off the sith." Hakora used force speed to bridge the gap between him and the first person. He used one lightsaber to unbound them and repeated this healing their wounds so they could all escape.

[Talos Rygat]

Talos waited until the Sith moved then moved to the students. Appearing in a flash of green smoke, Talos began to unshackle the first student. He looked back at the fight to ensure he wasn't needed immediately, then continued to work the boy free. He grabbed his arm when the boy tried to run.

We must stay put until it is safe. We will protect you. Then from nowhere and everywhere, Talos' Echoes appeared in front of them. They created a Force barrier in anticipation of a rebuttal from the Sith.

We will keep you safe...We are stronger now...You will be alright... The Echoes had never shown such compassion before, even Talos was amazed by their willingness to be in harms way for another.

[Veino Garn]

Veino fell back a few steps at the sudden assault. This man was good. Far better than the two outside had been, he risked a glance behind. Good. Hakora and Talos were looking after the students. Hopefully they would be able to get them out quickly.

He returned his focus back to [member="Prince Aros"], saber flashing before him, blocking some while twisted away from others, feeling them singe his shirt. He really needed to get some armor. He stepped aside from one blow, completely disengaging the blade, and swung it sideways at the man's torso, poised to dodge clear of the other's blade just in case.

 

[Minna]

Fortunately for Minna, her opponent wasn't as good as Prince Aros. His attack was much predicted, and so she simply turned and batted his saber aside, aiming to send him off guard. Then, thanks to her short height, she ran under his other arm then aimed for a backstab, hopefully to finish her opponent off. Even if she was successful, she would send two more slices up the mans armpits, trying to disarm him, literally. Once her attacks were finished, she'd glance over at Talos and Hakora, nodding with appreciation of their actions.

 

[Prince Aros]

Aros's anger had no end, unfortunately for himself...
The Prince cheered himself on manically, as he watched his strikes get closer and closer. Driven on by his small accomplishments, he lunged forward at Veino, aiming to slice his head off; only to be met by his lightsaber. The cut went into the side of his chest, quarter of the way through only until he fell backwards in pain. "No! You can not win! You will all perish soon!" He screamed, deactivating his lightsaber. When it seemed like he had surrendered, instead he unwrapped the chain that he kept around the hilt of his blade. Gripping one end tightly, he whipped outwards at Veino's saber arm with a little help of the force, attempting to pull him down to the ground.

Minna's opponent was indeed less trained, and his lightsaber was easily batted aside. But what he did have was good reactions, which he used to spin around and aim for an overhead strike once Minna had gone under his arm. Unfortunately for him, he was too late, and Minna's lightsaber entered his stomach. Dropping his lightsaber, his arms came from his sockets at Minna's slices, before he finally fell to the floor. Disarmed.

[Darth Ferus]

BANG

A loud crash sounded off, filling the cave as a dark figure came from the ceiling. It fell with grace, what ever it was, landing perfectly. On his rear end. Daichi, wrapped up in a grey cloak, had chosen to follow the lot, keeping his presence hidden through Art of the Small. He had even chose to climb onto the ceiling while the others fought to stay out of view. This proved to be a mistake. He had no way of keeping himself up there for long, and the seemingly graceful fall was him landing on his rump.

He stood up suddenly, rubbing his rear end. His voice came out soft, almost as if he was in pain. "Gah, I should of been able to at least right myself.." He seemed oblivious to the fighting, but his presence in the Force would suddenly become very well known.

[Darth Vaildra]

Hakora was healing people and keeping an eye on the fights. As he came to the end of releasing everyone he saw a chain whip out at Veino so Hakora used force speed to close the gap and ignited his staff in the process. One he reached the "prince" he windmilled his staff. With one strike he sent to try and cut the chains in half and the other he whipped around to stain with the tip of his blade to the Sith's neck. " I would stay down if you value your life. Sorry to spoil your fun Veino. Your fight looked easy enough."

 

[Prince Aros]

Aros scowled at Hakora as the blade came to his neck. He let go of his cut chain, raising his hands in surrender. "It matters not, everyone shall perish soon." The Prince watched as all of the remaining prisoners were set free. His eyes then looked down at his saberstaff, which lay a few metres away. There was no way he could retrieve it without getting killed, so he averted his gaze back to Hakora. "Bested by a child..."

[member="Hakora Shin"]

 

[Minna]

Minna deactivated her white lightsaber, then used the force to bring her other one into her hand, so that she could holster both on her belt. After looking at her fallen opponent, she walked over to Aros, picking up his saberstaff. "Good work, Hakora, a quick move, you made." She nodded, before picking up both halves of Aros's chain. Using the force, she wrapped them around his wrists, binding them together to create handcuffs. "Escort the students back, someone must. Talos, perhaps?" The Yodaling looked to [member="Talos Riga"] with her question. "And, our new prisoner, escorted back, he should be." She looked to Hakora, who seemed to have him controlled with a saberstaff to his throat. "Stay, I shall. Find out their conspiracy, I must. Veino, Alexandra, your help, I may need." Minna finally looked at [member="Daichi"], eyeing him up and down. His entrance was surely odd... "Care to help us?"

[member="Hakora Shin"]

 

[Veino Garn]

Veino nodded, eyeing the fallen chain. That was a benefit of having good students. "No worries. Fun was not what I came looking here." He deactivated his lightsaber, but kept at hand, switching it between his hands. Conspiracy, definitely. That was something he would need to find out. "You'll have my help, @Minna. Whatever may be required."

 

[Darth Ferus]

Daichi continued to rub his rump, but he looked around, his gaze moving among the Sith. "My my, I'm not sure what I could to help at this point. Well. I could interrogate the prisoner if you want." His gaze fell to [member="Prince Aros"] , he smiling wide. "Though, I doubt he is Sith."

[member="Minna"]

 

[Darth Vaildra]

Hakora returned the gaze with just as much hate. "Do not confuse me with a child and don't even dare confuse me for a Jedi. Just because I play on the side of angels does not make me one of them." With the last of his words he sent a force push at the Prince's head with enough power to make him hit the ground below him and black out. "No interrogation until he is in chains, I am not going to let mercy weaken me and give this thing a chance to escape. Minna, you know as well as I do that veino was fine, I was merely bored."

[member="Minna"]

 

[Minna]

Minna didn't have to use the force to sense the hate that filled [member="Hakora Shin"], so much so that a worrying look came on her face as she watched Aros black out on the floor. "I know... Take him somewhere he can't escape. Injure him too much, you must not." She looked down at Aros's unconscious body. "Break his spirit instead, we shall." The Yodaling turned to [member="Daichi"], nodding in agreement. "A Sith, he is not. Just a cultist of the dark side, most likely." Her gaze then returned to Veino. "Worrying, it is, that we let such a darkness exist so close. Improve our detection of such power, we must. For now, search this cavern, we shall, and clear it's dark side energy so that no one may find it again." She walked back to where she had been fighting, placing her hand on the symbols painted along the wall. "Make some notes, I will. Then, cross-reference with the archives, to see if we can decipher this... mystery..."
