Private In the Dark of the Night

[Cadere]

Cas struggled to keep up with the Sith Lord, he fought against every muscle in his body with his will to carry on, but it still wasn't enough to match the grace and speed of the Dark Lord. They were so close now. His overall defences having been weakened from the combination of physical torture, physical exhaustion and extending his use of the Force to his absolute limit fighting off the effects of Insatious' lightsaber. Desperately fighting against the Sith Lord's mental attacks, it was beginning to become a losing battle, as if it wasn't already.

It felt like an eternity as he fought, every second he'd pray to see Ki'an's armored frame with his lightsaber emerge from the entrance to Insatious' room. Finally, he'd get his wish and hope ever so slightly returned to the Kiffar. With his lightsaber and the natural bond he shared with his Kyber crystal, they'd have a better chance at escaping without Cas succumbing to the darkness of Insatious' crystal.

Gaining a second wind, feeling electrified, the Jedi Knight locked red blades with the Sith Lord, the two blades would form an X shape before Cas placed a foot forward, drawing Insatious toward him with his upper body strength Cas then spun himself around the Sith Lord. Their backs meeting, Cas' right arm extended toward Ki'an and the Force summoned his lightsaber from the Mandalorian's belt and into his own hand. The familiar hue of the yellow blade erupted from his hilt's emitter, Cas' body pivoted to meet Insatious as he sliced toward Insatious' neck.

It was a feint, he knew the Sith Lord would block it but the Kiffar followed up his first attack with the Sith's red lightsaber located in his opposite hand, struck toward Insatious' waist. "Get... ship... be there soon... stalling... him..." the Jedi Knight projected another broken up telepathic message to the Mandalorian. He had an idea on how to get himself out of this situation, but first he needed to make sure Ki'an and the kids had gotten to safety first. Cas' muscles and body aches consisted, but now he had hoped to live to fight another day.

Disappointed in the Mandalorian's choice the Sith Lord decided to end the little dance and with inhuman speed, he parried and redirected the Jedi Knight to loose his balance with the second strike as Cas put power into the second strike.

With one precise strike, Insatious had locked on Cas' robotic arm and unless Cas managed to find a way to break his second attack, the Sith Lord would disarm him in the literal sense. If the first attack had managed to remove Cas' robotic arm clean off, the Sith Lord would with the help of the force command his second lightsaber to fly out of the dismembered hand and on its own strike at the now one-armed Jedi Knight. The second lightsaber quickly joined its sibling and went at Cas from all sides. Meanwhile, Insatious looked over his shoulder towards the Mandalorian "Your family is miiiine Iron warrior" stated the eldrich voice in Ki'an's mind. Walking with determined steps towards Ki'an and if the Mandalorian hadn't left the room, he would feel an unimaginable but very real and truly excruciating pain explode in his mind. Insatious was done playing games as he reached out, straight out invading Ki'an's mind with horror beyond the Mandalorian's understanding.

Ki'an would begin to feel a severe sense catatonic state of panic fill his mind to the brink of insanity. Depending on the mental prowess of the individual victim it wouldn't take long for Insatious to utterly and completely break the mind of his victim to insanity.

However, if Cas somehow managed to save his robotic arm from getting sliced off by Insatious, he would feel the full might of Sith Lightning frying his entire body and getting blasted back into a wall. Insatious had completely dropped any interest in Ki'an and turned off his lightsaber and now with both hands torturing Cas with continued use of powerful force lightning.

"You faaaaailed Casssss. Your whole life is a failure. You are a failure to your family and everyone that has ever loved you. Give up and accept that your worthless being of existence is nothing but an endless circle of failure" hissed the thousands of degrading horrifying whispers of dread in the Jedi's mind as he taking the full force of Insatious' Force Lightning repeatedly.
