Kraetos | Open To One Sith

[Taral Mirtis]

Galen followed behind Tsavong, the whole group had fallen into a silent march, and the silence was something that Galen extremely enjoyed. Falling to the back of the group, walking a few paces behind everyone else, Galen didn't lose himself in admiring the nature, or in analyzing their path, but in watching his companions. He looked for little weaknesses, slight flws that perhaps one day in the future he would be forced to hunt these men and women whom he now called allies. It was the life of the Inquisitor, no one was safe from Galen's judgement, and none would return after a meeting with the hybrid if it was deemed necessary by the powers that be.

As they reached Mount Drakken Galen eyed the treacherous path they would have to take. The path was dangerous, a few times even Galen lost his footing and only through quick reflexes was he able to save himself from falling. However, the trek proved uneventful besides that, and soon the party was near the top, and a loud screech was heard before the dragon appeared. Everyone was taken aback by its appearance. The beast was large, as large as some ships that soared the galaxy, and even their leader, [member="Tsavong Kraal"], was taken aback. Galen couldn't help but to chuckle when he admitted to having no plan for felling the beast, and softly, the party began discussing plans of attack. The main one seemed to be letting the Zabrak he had met and another slip aorund and attempt to kill the beast from behind and overhead. That would leve the rest of them as bait, and they would be orced to distract the creature until the two were able to find a weakness, hopefully. Closing his eyes, Galen opened himself to the force, allowing the harsh energies flow through him and attempt to overwhelm him, but he was strong, and he stood tall. Once fully embracing the Force, Galen allowed his vision to switch to that of the Force, marveling at the creature before him. It seemed almost a sin to kill the beast. Thankfully, Galen loved sins.

"Perhaps we wait until it is asleep. That must be an easier attempt than facing the beast head on, with no trickery."

 

[Arturious Engel]

Arturious looked up at the beast with a smile and marveled at it's beauty or ferocity. Unclipping his saber and activating it Arturious gave the beast a quick salute before turning to [member="Nulgath Zardai"]

"We group up and a single attack takes out the entire party." "I don't know about you but I didn't come all the way out here to die with out a fight." "I am going this way and go around the other." "Multiple moving targets may give us the advantage we need."

Arturious scoffs.

"Because I am not waiting for it to decide to go off to sleep." "There is no honor in that."

Arturious takes off flanking wide without another word weaving in and out of the rocks in the mountain occasionally disappearing from view until he got about half way up to disappear from view all together as he worked his way around the massive beast.

[Darth Banshee]

Darth Banshee saw glimpse of the dragon as it stirred, she was more than little scared. She then heard [member="Arturious Engel"], and she then remembered some late night comedy. It was song about some old night, she no idea why it popped into her head. Though know it had, the sketch played over over in head.

The idea of all rushing up trying to kill it was fool errand, as it would simply fly and breath fire on them all. What they needed, was some sort explosive device, weirdly their was some thing about that in comedy she watched that night too. She then turned to expedition leader, and then told [member="Tsavong Kraal"] I have a plan, we need some type flak cannons. She then paused, Do you have any on your ship? She then explained her plan, If we can get it in the air, we could blow out the air using that ship weaponry. She then gave an alternative plan, If we don`t have any, then we should still try get it airborne. As it uses more energy flying, than it would otherwise. We then use the force to crush it wings. We probably won`t manged to do it, due to bone and muscle destiny. Though we make it harder, and it might come down to earth with a bang. It will then be tired, and we have better chance of killing it.

She waited for the vong to decide what he wanted to do, as it was his mission. So the final plan of attack would be his call.

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Nulgath nodded at Darth Banshee in agreement, Her plan sound well rounded and made the most sense then to just run in and die. Nulgath looked at the Beast to see if it had and Weak spots but so far he could see none. " We need a gunship or something....." Nulgath was cut sort when the Dragon let out a giant roar having the mountain sides shake and let loose some rock. A minor Landslide but still something to worry about, This Beast was a Beautiful in his own right.

 

[Darth Atrox]

Mala's voice chirped up from the back of the group. "Look. On the left. That pile of rocks." he waited until anyone guessed where he was leading to. "Well. Bring that down, and he'll sustain big damage. Then the ship? Bantha Fodda." he added, clenching his fist and moving back slowly.

​

"Good idea. You guys cause the avalanche, I'll guide the beast into it."​

​

Guide the beast into it. Fantastic plan, Warmaster. You're the leader of the luxurious Titan Industries, Grand Admiral of the One Sith's armada, and a tyrannical figure of strength with four arms and prehensile tail. But the best you came with to this fight was some rocks and "guide the beast into it."

Welp. Here we go.

Tsavong began sprinting at the beast, juking to the left when a spout of flame interrupted his current trajectory. He juked again right, dodging a voracious wing blade that dove into the ground with a thunderous echo throughout the vast mountains of Arkania. Finally within striking range of the dragon, the behemoth Myrshavong unleashed an amphistaff to stretch out like a whip and wrap around the creature's neck. He tugged hard and leapt, propelling himself on to the creature's neck and mounting the Dragon.

Then the Dragon began ignoring the rest of the party and focusing solely on Tsavong, bucking like a bull in an effort to unseat the Yuuzhan Vong.

​

​

Tsavong held on for dear life, slowly guiding the violent, crazed creature towards the rock pile.​

 

[Sheff Zee]

Malphas listened to the plan, it was a good plan. Except for the part about the ship. The purpose was to gather the hide of the dragon, not shred it to bits. That was simply ridiculous, but it was too late for him to stop them from going on. Watching [member="Tsavong Kraal"] run ahead, the Sith Apprentice followed after him, perhaps too slow to actually catch up, but that was fine.

When the Myrshavong was on the back of the Arkanian Dragon, the Sith Pureblood drew out his lightsaber hilt and performed the infamous saberthrow to the best of his ability at it's knee joint when it started to buckle. The one on it's hind elgs for the purpose of bringing it down in the perfect position.

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

A dragon had to be smarter then this Nulgath thought as he kept looking around. There was something wrong and off, it seemed too easy so far. Noticing [member="Darth Acarus"] and [member="Tsavong Kraal"] Rush into Battle made Nulgath want too aswell but he stood his ground still examining the Dragon. The Plan seemed good but there was something off, this was Nulgaths thought. The Dragon Bucked Violently and spun thrashing his tail all over toward the party, even though the Dragon was only attempting to throw [member="Tsavong Kraal"] off. Nulgath hit the ground to avoid the tail and got up to help them now. Sprinting at the Dragon Nulgath leaped in the air attempting to mount its back, Once their Nulgath would join the struggle of holding on for dear life.

 

[Tefka]

[member="Nulgath Zardai"]

Tsavong's life was in their hands but instead of prepping the avalanche, they began to attack the dragon.

"YOU FOOLS!"

He pointed to the cache of rocks stored on the nearby slope as dictated by [member="Galen Otros"].

"TOPPLE THE ROCKS!"

Four arms clutched the neck of the dragon as the mighty Myrshavong was tossed around like a rag doll.

He could not hold on for much longer.

 

[Sheff Zee]

Once the bone in the knee of the arkanian dragon had been relatively cut through, he grasped his lightsaber hilt, and when he heard the sound of [member="Tsavong Kraal"]'s voice screaming out over the current battlefield, Malphas leapt backwards which led into a backwards somersault, and he sent a force push at one of the rocks at the bottom of the cache of rocks.

There were only a handful of relatively smaller rocks that were holding the full load, and when the force push hit it, it loosened them and for a moment it seemed like nothing was going to happen, and then the rocks collapsed down the mountain along with snow onto the dragon and it's...riders.

[member="Nulgath Zardai"]

 

[Balaya Praelior Zambrano]

Balaya looked from where she was starring at the dragon to the rocks [member="Tsavong Kraal"] had pointed out. Her words coming out with a small hiss and black veins coming from the mark of darkness that was covering her sternum and chest the tendrils of it going up her neck and around her cheeks. She spoke the spell and clenched her hand bringing energy, concentrated energy into a black ball and threw it at the rocks just below to topple them over. Elara holding a weapon and aiming it at the dragon while the sith continued to focus on the spells to try and augment the others. "Move back."

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Nulgath's leap on the Dragons back was successful but not worth it he realized. He was hold on was dear life waiting for the Dragon to fall over. With a Sudden blink Nulgath realized he was 2ft away from the beast, He had been bucked off and the Dragon's Fire he had earlier seen was now on him all over. He had been lit on Fire and hit the ground hard couple meters away from the party. Too Cocky.. Was his thoughts as he took a 4 meter drop to the ground. His robes were a Blaze and his Leg was broken by impact, the break was serious the thigh bone was sticking out but luckily the bleeding was stopped by the Flames. Nulgath layed there on Fire screaming in agony, His eyes in were Sith and his screams amplified by the Force. The Augmentation by [member="Darth Praelior"] and his Rage was the only thing keeping him alive.

 

[Taral Mirtis]

Galen shook his head at [member="Arturious Engel"]. The man spoke of honor, but they were Sith. Honor was, as are all other things a means to an end. Perhaps, this man had chosen honor as his end, but Galen saw that as silly. Honor was so malleable, and often had to be broken just to protect one's own life. It was a weak goal in Galen's eyes.

However, another plan of attack was decided upon, and swiftly executed, as [member="Tsavong Kraal"] leaped onto the dragon's back. While others began their specific attacks and Galen stood, shaking his head at this foolhardy venture. While others attacked the dragon, keeping it distracted, Galen was carefully pulling at stones to set loose the avalanche, and with the Pureblood's help, the stones began to fall. Soon the dragon would be covered in the avalanche of stones and snow, as well as his allies that were atop the beast. Now was the time to attack, and with that thought, Galen spread his mind to the dragon's, attempting to force his way in and further distract the beast, trying to cause it to be even slower in reacting, perhaps even break it of its will.

Standing still as he focused, Galen quickly forced his presence upon the dragon. Pushing past the subconcious walls of resistance, Galen saw a Zabrak fall off the dragon. His burning was a nonissue right now. People would die, it was nature, and Galen continued to press against the dragon's mind, worming his way into the mind of the majestic beast.

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Nulgath wormed his way to a Ditch like area. Still Screaming and groaning, the Zabrak crawled using his right Cybernetic leg to stand him self up again a rock. The Flames on his Cloths were lower now but still burned. Nulgath was thankful that he only passed through the edge of the Dragons flames instead of the core. His torso was scratched up bad and had some minor gashes, His left leg he left no pressure on to ease the pain, His Cybernetic use had come to a use finally and the rest of his body was lucky to only have 2nd Degree burns unlike his broken leg which was severely burned and charred even. He could on watch the battle for now

Looking up at the Sky he let out a battle cry infused with pain, In his culture it was to inspire others. " Aaaaarrrrrrggghhhhh!"

 

[Darth Atrox]

The Zabrak's lightsaber joined, leaping onto the back of the dragon, then onto the rocks he spotted. Mala's saber followed behind him as he leaped down the side of the rocks, setting stones free, then triggering the larger rocks to tumble toward the beast. Mala's eyes locked with the dragon's as he buried it's head under the rubble, plumes of dust and debris, bursting into the air. He let out a grin.


Unfortunately, the rocks began to stir. "Feth." he cursed, the grin slowly dying. Leaping onto the area where the head of the dragon was, Mala drove his lightsaber through a rock, merely hoping it punctured the skin. He'd figured, this creature's scales may be made out a lightsaber resistant material. He noticed tendrils of smoke slivering out of the cracks into the rocks. He leaped away, using a Force Dash to increase his speed. "We didn't kill it. We made it angry." he muttered, sheltering behind a boulder as an explosion of fire terminated the rocks.

 

[Darth Banshee]

Darth Banshee had cloaked her self in the force, whilst all this was going on. Then as [member="Tsavong Kraal"] had ran up, and mounted the beast to try guide it. She had climbed the rocks, towards the top of the loose rock they intend to bury it under. The climb it self was quit slippy, as the walking up small broken piece rock some would shift backward under her weight. This some times almost caused her to fall, but she still made progress. Eventually getting above where they intended to trap the dragon, under weight of the stone rubble.

Their she waited for the trap to be sprung. Then one of the acolytes, she thinks he was called [member="Mala Kulan"] sprung it. The rock came down on the beast, covered it rock from head to toe. She thought might worked, but it began to try and work it self free. She rushed down, and got beneath the beast. She was hoping to hit it with her lightsaber, as it became free of the rubble. She had to wait for the perfect hit, other wise she just be canned meat.

 

[Darth Atrox]

The fire had fizzled out, the rock-fall had weakened the beast considerably, to the extent that his fire wasn't full-force, and possible to be evaded. He leaped down to where Darth Banshee was, unable to see her and began looking up at the dragon. Ducking as a swinging tail demolished the area as the dragon flailed in pain and panic. He leaped onto it's back, releasing blasts of Force Push onto it's spine, bending bones painfully.

 

[Arturious Engel]

(( holy crap let me catch up ))


When Arturious reach the top of his goal he briefly reappeared within few of the group. Hearing the ideas toss around Arturious chuckled and shook his head only stopping when the monster leaped on the dragons back which made Arturious only laugh at Tsavong stealing his idea. Others tried there best to leap and strike carelessly at the beast.

When Arturious heard mention of the rocks he smiled again making his way towards them swinging behind the pile giving a wide berth when [member="Darth Praelior"] started her action.

Arturious looked for a minute before deciding a plan of action. Closing his eyes Arturious focused drawing into the force. It was not something he had practiced himself but having Alexandra Cinthra use it effectively during that first duel at the Academy it gave him an idea.

Arturious focused hard pulling at the force trying to build it up and harness it before trying to condense it and force it out in a blast at the pile of rocks until they fell.

With the beat wounded Arturious ran out and leaped his saber angle blade down and tried to impale the beast using it to stay on the beast back while avoiding hitting [member="Tsavong Kraal"].

 

[Darth Atrox]

Mala Kulan gave a Dathomirian battle-cry, stabbing the beast repeatedly. He then released more Force pushes, leaping around the dragon, slashing at it, stabbing, pushing, weakening. He leaped over onto the top of another rock.

He had to do this. He could do this. Suddenly, white and blue strands of lightning flew onto the dragon, snaking it's way to it's skin, through the scales, through the flesh, frying the beast into further terror. He let out another round of pain, his face lit up, but ultimately exhausted. "Power... POWER!" he roared, collapsing after the physical excursion of the lightning.

 

[Darth Nephthys]

O.O

Well things escalated quickly.


None the less, while the rest were toppling rocks, jumping onto the backs of Dragons, Nephthys was a black and red blur that would move towards [member="Tsavong Kraal"] 's side. She could sense that he would not be able to hold for too long, and in this, she would aide him.

When a massive stream of white hot fire would come blasting in their direction, Nephthys would come to stand by the much taller Vong, her hands quickly extending out as the advanced knight would manipulate the Force to send a crackling static barrier around them. This would provide them much needed shelter and Tsavong a measure of rest as fire would go arching around the sphere of protection she'd put in place around the two.
