Elara stood at the ready, they were in the docks loading the titan, the lack of resistance had saddened her and as the ground commander came from the base she spoke. "We have set the charges and begun detonating the republic's post here on the planet." The woman looked at her while the rest of the team came, the gearhead reporting that the reprogramming was done. They had spent the time working on it as the apprentice kept her attention on the computer. Her masters datapad linked and at the ready while she spoke.
"All sector five forces prepare, begin final assault on the generators." Her voice was distorted while moving into the drop ship, the arriving reinforcements were coming in as dropships sent them in, the ones marching with the titan going towards the generators to help as two of the dropships launched fiber cords to brace and hold the titan for transport. Why waste it when they could move it and with the great deal of work they had defenses for it. They had been moving unopposed throughout while she wondered what her master was doing.
Balaya looked at the jedi who jumped back and then to the apprentice, her eyes remaining under the hood as she heard the sounds of ships high above. She spared a glace and saw a ship doing... something then turned to look at her battle hydra that had been on the ground and spoke. "Come one." The creature was hers to command, it didn't fight unless she told it to and engaging fighters beneath its notice was boring. She let the beast lazily ignore leaving from behind her and the apprentice in favor of the blackblades providing cover with the sounds of more soldiers coming.
The dead the Republic fighter would make able to rejoin the sith forces as part of the horde and start going at the blast doors shambling. The unseelie in the crowd making the Voice stronger as she chuckled. "Your pilots need to have their eyes checked dog fighting with yourself I am fairly certain is a sign of insanity... Though it might explain their ability to kill and feed the carnage here. Balaya looked at the apprentice, the pale woman was something of a sight but now that she had reinforcements her confidence seemed to have returned. The look of her hydra as it gleamed was fun. An explpsion on it at that range would have done more damage.
The massive zeltron was looking at the two standing there. Corvus was one she knew easily enough but the twi'lek was the wild card. Her amusement plain under the hood as she remained concealed in the cloak and stepped forwardletting any blades that touch her feel the effects of the warden cloak and the refined cortosis powder to deactivate blades. She was looking at them while her control over the hydra remained, their nature to be docile and ignore threats unless commanded by a darksider was something you had to account for.
"You preformed well apprentice, though only half credit. Fighting a padawan is fair but from what I know you faced a master who doesn't fight." She looked under the hood with the glowing purple eyes towards corvus and spoke more. "See master Raaf here isn't going to try and attack, unless soemthing big has changed. She prefers to not talk and only use soresu, her abilities of inaction become predictable, become easy to ignore. It has cost her in the past and she has not embracced the one thing all force users need.... Imagination."
Balaya took another step forward while she turned her head towards the twi'lek. "It cost her as a padawan her friend on Ossus, captured and tortured. It allowed the sith to find a foothold on the world again and exploit those catacombs the temple was built upon. The voice observing the world was most pleased with your work." Another step forward and Balaya didn't need to do much, her datapad on her wrist under the cloak chirped to indicate the reprogramming of the titan was completed. A fourth step forward and Balaya kept speaking.
"Then she was promoted for her work, became talented sure but her inaction and lack of vision on zeltros brought her before me a second time. Where she preformed just as poorly, never taking the moment to coordinate and use the teamwork her friend presented. She became a mite unable to act and stopped altogether, her friend Kana fighting alone and falling to my blade. Her blood poisoned by my power and there the poison shall remain weakening her, tormenting her, bringing her closer and closer to the dark lord."
Another step forward while she still didn't need to draw and the battle hydra roared with the sounds of its master fighting. The horde, the soldiers and reinforcements coming from the ships above as vong dropped down towards the generator room. "Her inability to think and evolve has hurt her friend, it has caused many to die here and rise among the shambling corpses within the ranks. It will cost this city as it sinks into the ocean and above all it shall cost her republic a resource we don't even need." The beast standing there while it moved closer and closer to be behind its master.
One more step brought her closer as now all attention was solely on the twi'lek, her cloak would keep Corvus if she tried at bay long enough to counter. "And just like that little one." The fourteen foot warlord of the sith and voice of sector five finally starred down as she spoke. "We will have driven our hooks deeper into the galaxy, we will make it that much harder to pry the One Sith's influence from the hearts and minds." The smile on her face now while she was moving towards the generators and tapped the datapad for the locator. The hydra was almost chuckling, now as its golden armor and heavy size providing more protection.
Then the sound of the fighter coming down at them came and Balaya raised an eyebrow looking. It fired on her, fired on the hydra and the jedi as she moved closing the distance as she went inside the towards the blast doors. The hydra roaring while it went off and jumped towards a building with her eyes locking on it. The sounds from the distance came, the Titan was finished, Elara had succeeded and it was firing onto another group of troopers while she stood there. If the jedi remained their own pilot would have been firing on them... a smart move, sacrifice your own people and attack the thing you're trying to protect.
"There is a great sort of insanity to it." Balaya looked towards the apprentice taking it all in while she moved gesturing for the girl to follow her towards the second set so they could go in. The men outside on both sides that would die and join the horde owing the pilot well their unlives.... The soldiers inside that starred at Balaya she waited for a moment to deal with before remaining there as the defensive augments went off. The implants in her chest tearing into the soldiers as two of them smashed against the wall, the ones behind her flying backwards and out into the inferno the Republic brought on their own things.
"See how your own people treat you jedi, willing to blow you up for the chance they might do something. They didn't even warn you of the attack and I would have netter us all into the grave together. Your own people fire on you, your men slay each other and you call us evil. We are at least honest that we will try and kill each other, there is at least a warning about it." The look was on her face, she didn't move her hands from under the cloak but was there now looking towards where the generator was. If the pilot wanted to keep targeting them well... endangering and killing their own men wasn't something the republic was against. Another thing in the One Siths favor as she started walking.
Her energies flowing outward from her while looking at the others, the feeling of the other sith going through was enough as Balaya pushed her power throughout the length of her body to enhance the strength more. She lashed out to smash the wall as the duracrete and metal started to give away under her brute strength. The armor and cloak to give her the early warning if they attacked but she spoke letting the horde flood into the building. The vong throwing blast bugs to start detonating, the blackblades and soldiers working on the doors to get them open and electronic to disable turrets or defenses.
The battle hydra wasn't gone for long, the building was bing assaulted by the vong and more had moved in. The beast used the time and their fire to bash into a wall above its master and start tearing at the foundation while [member="Reverance"]s forces were firing on the generator. Their attacks uninterrupted for now while it roared and climbed through leaving a section for Balaya to start slashing with her greatsaber as it sliced into the duracrete making a hole for them. Blackblade forces calling in their positions and directing dropships to the area.
Balaya looked at Corvus nd spoke as a claw tore a chunk... "It doesn't have to live forever but if one fighter firing could kill a beast it would not have been so dangerous." She almost rolled the cybernetic eyes. "Use those books in your temple and learn to pay attention. That shiny of their skin is not from natural means. Strong alloys are bonded to it at a molecular level to make it able to survive in wars or other sithspawn predators. I would suggest when you fight you use more brainpower then a simple ship. Perhaps and this is a hint, some free advice. Look for the control amulets the sith created to make them serve."
She remained there while between blowing themselves up and making the sith laugh the warlord now just scoffed kicking at the wall. She turned to look down and in closer quarters at the two jedi because they would have to move. Protection barriers were as strong as the skill using them and throwing things up in an instant wouldn't protect from a ships attack. Even the Shield of the Dark Lord would need time and she was the strongest barrier user. "Smart credits are on you not learning but I can only teach when you are willing to learn Corvus. You ran away twice and failed, you have underestimated the power of creatures and your own people would rather attack and risk collateral damage for a chance to destroy something."
She stayed enjoying it while more roars came from her pet. "Apprentice if you wish to kill them, I suppose you may but it appears we will be joining Lord Reverance's forces soon in watching the city sink." She raised an eyebrow and tilted her head to listen. "Can't you hear it now, blast bugs in the generator room and no one is trying to resist. Your people have accepted their fate." She was moving now more. "We are going to join them Corvus, if you want to attack us... then make your move but given your history I suspect you will stand there and believe this is a victory of some sort. You lost a city, million died, your friend ordered many to suffocate under the ocean and you ran abandoning them."
She clapped under the cloak. "Yes a victory." Balaya started walking towards the holes to join the vong forces that were in the room, Reverance's forces might need some encouragement for their work. Her horde was moving, her forces working to join her and surround the jedi as they started to attack the stragglers. She snapped her finger for the apprentice and laughed deep in her throat. "Yes continue your work and wonderful display. [member="Reverance"] will be proud."
Note:
Claiming damage done never a good thing
Force barriers at that distance to protect from such a thing would require more prep and power
I recommend as always working out a post and research over flash.
