Home of a Legend

Orion was glad she agreed, and he turned around and headed back down the stairs from which he had climbed up. They walked out into the streets and followed the road until it ended, dropping them at a small crest looking across the fields of lava that separated them from the metal compound in the distance. From where they stood, all that could really be seen was a wall surrounding a large tower with a blue light at the top, making the outpost easy to spot. Orion walked casually through the blistering heat as he headed towards their new target. He was pleased to finally have a heading, an ally, and a chance to do some damage to the First Order, even if it was very small. Any damage done to an enemy of the Confederacy was beneficial for him. As they walked he turned to his ally. "You more of a sneaky person, or rather go in and just kill everyone?"

As they stopped and turned their eyes to the outpost Darth Ayra replied: "There is a time for secrecy, and there is a time to destroy. I will let it up to your discretion on what we should do."

She knew what she would do in this situation, and how she would claim the information that she sought. But she wanted to see why Orion thought, about what he would do in this situation instead. She wanted to see the depth of his knowledge in the dark side.

Orion nodded and looked around him. "Well, I have always been one for secrecy. But, I would also like to wire the place to blow, if that's alright by you." He cracked his knuckles and looked to the outpost that was quickly growing closer. "The First Order aren't exactly friends of mine."

"No doubt leaving no survivors or evidence of us being here, other than the destruction that we will leave in our wake, is good of reason as any to destroy this place after we have found what we want. It is good that you follow your desires, it is through feeling that the Force makes us stronger." Lifting her hand again, Darth Ayra gestured to the outpost as if to say after you.

Orion simply nodded to the woman's spiel and he kept walking, hopping over several lava rivers and pits. The blistering heat was still unbearable, but he had grown at least somewhat more accustomed to it.

They quickly were upon the outpost, getting behind a small rock formation for cover. "Alright, I see three squads of three patrolling outside, along with a couple speeders going out on patrols." He quickly hid his head behind the rock to avoid the incoming spotlight. "Got a plan?"

"There are times when you have to be subtle, and then there are times when you have to be less."

Gathering the Force into the soles of her feet, Darth Ayra leaped up from their hiding spot and soared over the mountain of molten slag onto the platform above. Up here it felt more cool, being away from the streams of lava. Upon landing the nearest guards turned around to the hooded assailant who had seemingly appeared out of no-where. As they reached for their blasters Darth Ayra recognised the emblem of the First Order emblazoned on their chests. She had lived on the capital city of Avalonia, on the planet Dosuun, where the First Order had first begun their rise to prominence, albeit lacking the dominance they had envisioned, and consequentially recognised the emblem immediately.

Before they could even fire a shot a blue light arched it's way across the platform towards the two guards and hacked them down in a violent Lightsaber throw. Spinning back around into Darth Ayra's outstretched palm, she turned and deflected a hail of bolts fired from the blasts of the other guards, as they ran forward to attack the intruder.

Orion watched as she leaped across the large distance, landing atop. He smirked as he saw here easily dismantle the guards, killing a good amount. He nodded and decided the move was made. He stood from behind his hiding spot and sending three blasts of laser fire from his wrist blaster, taking out three of the guards patrolling the ground. He then jumped into the fray, catching three more soldiers off guard. In one swift movement, he cut all three across the waist with his lightsaber, sending all three crashing to the floor.

As he turned to head towards the entrance, the sound of a speeder roared behind him. He turned just in time to deflect laser fire, narrowly avoiding being hit by the speeder. As the speeder passed him, he jabbed his lightsaber into the speeder's engine, causing it to fly into the wall and explode. He then walked to where it crashed and cut a hole inside, stepping in as soon as he heard the outpost alarms start blaring.

Darth Ayra was finishing the last remnants of the three patrols that Orion had spotted when she turned to sirens and lights blaring as the outpost entered full alert. The entire outpost's militia had been put on alert for intruders and were mobolising fast. As the speeder exploded, sending raining shrapnel into the air, which fell and scattered among her and the dead, Darth Ayra gathered the power of the dark side into her right arm, lifting it forward into the air and expelling a torrent of Sith lightning as more militia gathered on the platform where she was fighting on.

Purple elongated streaks of lightning tore into the platebodies and helmets of stormtroopers, blasting a few over the edge into the lava below. The others were less fortunate as the dark side tore into their steel meshed bodies, sending currents of electricity to burst out through the eye sockets and crevices of their armour before they fell dead as smoking corpses. Turning around, Darth Ayra lifted her Lightsaber ahead of her defensively in anticipation of the next attack.

As Orion stepped into the outpost, he was met by three troopers aiming their blasters directly at him. He quickly stuck his hands out and sent a burst of power through the force, sending all three flying backwards and colliding against the back wall. He then sprinted towards the elevator, quickly decapitating two guards standing at the entrance. However, the elevators were deactivated in the event of a lockdown. As he growled, a laser blast collided with the wall just above him, raining sparks down on his head.

He roared and spun around, lightsaber in hand, sending laser bolts flying back at the incoming troopers. One caught one of the two in the chest, and another knocked the blaster from the second's hand. Orion slowed walked towards him, as the troopers quickly tried to grab his sidearm. As soon as he had it in his hand, Orion reached out with the force, forcing him to point the pistol up towards himself. "Where is the data center!?"

"Nowhere!" the trooper cried.

Orion forced the blaster up against his neck. "Where!?"

"Down this hall and up three flights up stairs!"

"Thank you" Orion sighed as he used the force to pull the trigger, making the trooper kill himself as he took off down the hallway.
