Old memories, new enemies, the dark and light together.

[Alexandra Feanor]

Coruscant's underground, a dangerous and threatening place for those that do not know their way around the planet's dark corners. This is where Alexandra was best suited, for the shadows. And like a wraith she moved from place to place, unseen to most and able to appear when necessary, able to take down those that required retribution.

Those in question were now the ones she was staring at through the scope of a rifle, herself perched on the roof of a building with her armor, now coated black, on and her face obscured. She leveled the rifle on the troop squad, three of them with their backs turned, and used the force to guide the tip of the slugthrower before grinning behind her visor. With them was her target, a sith acolyte that led the three without any hint of realizing the danger. Her finger pressed down and a shot rang out, the slug guided to its target as it smacked straight into the back of the center soldier. Before the other two reacted though her rifle turned on them, firing at the one while he was in shock, and then the other who had made for cover. Her target though she didn't fire at, no him she baited and he took it.

Tossing the saber over her shoulder she waited on the roof until finally he was here, a zabrak that stood before her and she grinned as his saber hissed into ignition. Her sabers remained at her sides though as instead she tore a blade from its holder on her back and held it read, the vibroblade own hum in her hands baiting the Sith. He charged and she blocked his first strike, moving with the flurry of strikes from the acolyte until finally, she pushed his blade back and send one of her hands forward, blowing him on his back with a wave of force energy before returning her blade to its sheath.

He lay there, shocked for a moment before trying to get up, it was too late though. She reached out with both hands and used something she had been in practice of for some time, silvered lightning released itself on him and while it would not kill him at its level, his body was burned and pain shot through him as his saber dropped from his hand and to the floor, himself laying there after she stopped, unable to move. With quick steps she called his saber to herself and kept it locked in the active mode as she turned it and sent his own blade into his heart, two minutes was all the time that had passed and with the sith dead she moved towards the shadows, sirens sounding as she vanished...

-15 minutes later-

Alexandra watched, her aura suppressed, armor hidden, and sabers kept secret in the sleeves of a garb that resembled a beggar in torn clothing with a dark cloak, her hair dyed black and face covered in so much dirt none would recognize her by just glancing. No she watched now as soldiers sealed off the area from the edge of an alley a good two hundred yards down the street, her eyes studying them while also keeping to themselves.

The world was a lovely place and as Balaya walked in her full armor with the Blackblades at her back, Kaine's elite soldiers who now had the might of the One Sith behind them to command. Her own aura something she wasn't going to hide while the saber on her hip spoke. Her sonic rifle making for quite a sight in one hand and under her arm. She could feel the looks while some starred at the near transparent armor seeing only the bikini section of the armor as it stood out hidden from the crystasteel armored sections. Her grin showing while a small girl starring and Balaya stopped letting him come close to her hand while she spoke. "Ah such a young one, lets see what we can find."

Her hand touched the girls cheek as she reach into her and focused. She had the force and was a perfect age it seemed as Balaya moved her hand up to hold the mother in place with the force around her neck. "How lovely little one, tell me do you wish to come with us?" The small nod of her head was there as well as fear. You could always find ones desperate enough to agree to anything as Balaya focused chanting a little while pushing some energy and the darkside into the girl. "Then free yourself child, we can have no chains or attachments where your going." A look of fear crossed the girls face as Balaya slid a saber into the child's hands and activated it.

Then she slowly pulled the mother forward onto the blade the daughter was holding and let the blackblades take care of the body leaving it for a mortuary group to come and handle the problem.

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

The sounds of shock was enough to draw Alex's attention, her eyes shooting back behind her as she saw one force she knew well enough to avoid. "Blackblades..." She muttered as she moved deeper into the crowd and cursed to herself, once in an alley, far enough for most no one to see her she paced several times before creating a fist and slamming her hand into the body of a nearby serving droid that had been thrown out, the punch augmented with the force and her aura exploding into reference like a flare. "Damnit, that means one of them are here... this is not going according to plan..." [member="Darth Praelior"]

 

[Balaya Praelior Zambrano]

[member="Alexandra Cinthra"]

That got something, Balaya's head shot up at the flare of power and it was on the edge of her senses. On the edge of her feelings while she sought it out for a moment and spoke to the one with her. "Quietly secure the area three blocks and have the men on the lookout for a force user." He looked at her. "Someone who fled the empire and Lord Vornskr is here, someone who betrayed him." That got his attention and a nod of understanding there were taking orders from the woman and then taking orders from Kaine.... Kaine superseded everyone but someone who betrayed him was valuable and a prize.

The blackblades spoke quickly and silently moved about doing as directed while Balaya picked the girl up and held her in her arms and walked. She was reaching out now searching while she cooed for the child who was now holding her. The sith magics giving an addicted enhancement of for potential for a time that made some very compliant. She had given it to a few of her apprentices. Tyrana taking it over and over until she was strong and empowered by the dark lord himself with her sith mark. Now Balaya was in the alley and seeing a serving droid while she spoke. "Alexandra? Alexandra is that you? I haven't felt you since Ossus my apprentice. What has happened to you I wonder."

 

[Morningstar]

Morning star was just an young hooldim, he didn't know his real parents but to servive on this world you kinda attach yourself with the wrong crowd. Morningstar spoted an strange women carrying an baby girl, he got that smirk on his face thinking if he ran into by acdient he might just steal something off her.

He had an flaw about him he was always overconfident in his abilities and he always misjudged his target, without thinking Morningstar started Running towards the strange women hoping he might steal an few creds off of her.

[Alexandra Feanor]

Her entire body froze and in a moment her aura retreated back to its confines, her eyes turning to stare at the end of the alleyway that Balaya stood at. For a moment, her face was expressionless, for a moment her hands clear before she straightened up and let her hood down. "I do not know who you are, but i will ask you once to please leave me be." Her eyes remained silver, the only defining physical feature with her clothing torn and dirtied and her hair dyed pitch black. She kept her sabers hidden and eyes on the woman though, perhaps she could talk her way out of this. [member="Darth Praelior"]

Balaya looked at the woman, her senses flaring and her body reacting more as she moved. Using her size and stride to make it down the alley as she stood over her just like old time. Zeltrons were useful in groups like the exchange of old, the suns and criminals groups because lying to them was far harder then other species. They felt lies usually they felt deceptions and now as she stood there she felt something else. The intent of the one charging at her as her body turned and one blade came to her hand. A snap hiss as the crimson colored blade activated and pointed towards Morning star in case he wanted to run on it. Her arm still around the child who was holding herself close. "Ah Alexandra still so very... curious. Do not forget I have felt you both in the force and in my head and lying does not become you."

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

Alexandra didnt even wait for the words and as Balaya's blade snapped alive, so did Alexandra's body. Wasting no effort on striking at Balaya she ran down the alleyway towards the opposite end while she hoped the woman would be distracted. But she remembered something all too important, the blackblades, and without a second thought she sent her hand out to pry open a hole in the street before dropping into the maintenance tunnel that would have been built into the streets upon their construction. She didn't know who would come after her or if Balaya would, but incase someone did she took cover behind a turn in the tunnels before grabbing a blaster that had been on her side and aiming it down the tunnel.

[Morningstar]

Morningstar stopped running but instead he glared at the women before him, he felt an burning sense of anger towards her. How he wanted to take that saber from her and turn it on her, without thinking he made something move without even touching it. He didn't do anything with it just made it float for a brief second before it fell back to the ground.

Balaya didn't move, her senses going to Alexandra and focusing with the force as the girl moved. Her hands clenching the saber and when Alexandra went underground she turned finally seeing the boy move the object. Oh this was quite a good day indeed as the Blackblades stood looking at the hole. "Leave her to me, for now take the child and make sure this boy is secured. We shall take them back to the citadel and personally handle them." The captain approached as she handed the girl off and moved her saber not faltering in her arm while a smile crept along her face. She had the feeling of Alexandra and spoke letting her voice carry in the force. "Alexandra come back to me my sweet apprentice." But she didn't need to give complete chase to her, Balaya had learned a few tricks since Ossus one of which she slowly started chanting before letting the blade deactivate and the dark'chyld started insulting loudly the boy morning star. She'd make Alexandra see and a puff of smoke appeared drifting to where she wanted the darkside emenating off it while it entered the tunnel. "For now my sweet enjoy it, I'll be down shortly."

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

She stared at the cloud and fired several times into it, suspecting first and illusion before realizing it was not such. Her hands came down and the sabers slid out of her sleeves and to her hands as she clenched them tight. She would not activate them, no instead she focused and let her aura return, and with it waves of grey force energy that held emotion while also remained calm and controlled. Standing there she waited for the cloud to come close, her aura becoming an incorporeal barrier as she tried to keep it from influencing her, taking small steps back as she did to try and distance herself without losing her focus on maintaining the barrier, thinking it might stop the cloud of smoke.

[Balaya Praelior Zambrano]

[member="Alexandra Cinthra"]

The cloud wasn't there to influence her, it was there as part of the sith magics Balaya had learned after Ossus. Smoke demons created and commanded for a target. The being able to take the form of the persons greatest buried fear and in some cases paralyze them in freight to kill them but it had its orders. Stun not kill and Balaya letting blackblades file around her to protect her knelt down closing her eyes and pouring more focus into the creature. "Do not run Alexandra come and talk to me."

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

[member="Darth Praelior"]

She stared at the cloud and the only thing that appeared was herself, immediately something very different happened instead of what Balaya was waiting for. Instead of paralyzing in fear, she was consumed by it and instead of keeping up the barrier she took in all the energy and send a wave right at her other self. Only fear, anger, hate, and sorrow filled her as she unleashed the wave of energy and without a second thought she bolted down the tunnel, trying to put as much distance as possible behind her, and away from what she had seen.

 

[Balaya Praelior Zambrano]

[member="Alexandra Cinthra"]

"She is running." Balaya opened her eyes and did what all villains did, she used her focused force energies to keep herself locked on Alexandra. To track her mostly while ceasing her spell. She wanted the girl to be ready when the time came and she rose walking with purpose but walking all the same. Most underground tunnel area's were mazes unto themselves and Coruscant was an entire city with eons of building upon layer and layer those would be worse possibly. "Send the blackblades to the exits of the underground as many as you can find andd have stunners ready." Her body stood near the entrance to the tunnel and Balaya jumped in feelign the ground crack slightly under the full weight of herself in her armor. "Come out Alexandra come out and talk with me."

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

She heard the woman's voice and ran through the maze of tunnels as she moved, going by memory of the paths she had taken before until she came upon the thing she was looking for. Her Armor kept in the tunnels, hidden and kept track of due to her photographic memory, her greatest strength and weakness that allowed for her to remember everything she needed too. She got into the armor fast as she could losing a full minute of preparation that was very much need as she breathed in though the air filtering mask. "Time to remove a pest." Still consumed in rage and fear she began to draw it into her and let it fuel her powers, waiting for the Sith Lord to catch up as her sabers remained off.

Balaya continued to walk forward in the tunnels more homing in on her senses and pulsing the darkside off her. Letting unease come from her aura as sith magic. She wasn't going to hide but she was projecting and letting the blade on her hip talk. "Come out Alexandra, your not the nexu here, you are the lamb. I just want to talk with you like old time apprentice. Before you disappeared at Ossus. I was so sad." And now she was alive, the flare of anger at her apprentice running away had Balaya moving more and scraping the turadium claw able to catch saber blade once or twice on the stone to make claw marks. Her mark of darkness under her eyes pulsing now as she was immersed in the darkside.

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

When Balaya would turn the corner Alexandra would move not an inch upon seeing her, eyes focused on the woman as she stood there in her armor with blades in hand and eyes filled by her anger, pain, and fear that she was feeding on to power her force powers. "Come then, im not running, and never will i run from you 'master'. No, i never ran, i will stand here and tell you plainly. I will -not- return to the sith, i have my own path now and the Sith are not part of it." She ignited her sabers and spun them before getting into a ready stance, waiting for the Sith to act.

[Balaya Praelior Zambrano]

[member="Alexandra Cinthra"]

Balaya rounded the corner and looked at the girl in her armor taking in the full sight of her and was amazed more so because as they squared off she didn't activate the blade that was hurling insults. Just letting the light dance while her eyes gleamed yellow. "That is good, that defiance that drive. Just like in the tomb when I rescued you, your life was mine that day apprentice. Just like it was each day I taught you." She moved forward still not drawing the blade but letting the claw tap the wall. "We need not fight Alexandra, there is already great potential in you, let me show you the greatness that can come. Your already feeling the power of anger in you." Balaya was pouring the darkside into the shadows of the tunnel they were in. Letting them be masked while she worked on making a web around them and letting her aura mask the crawling intentions.

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

She laughed, only it wasn't her as her own voice was twisted and even sounded as it was crossing between soft and harsh, her visor pulling back to reveal her silver eyes were pure golden now as she stared at Balaya. "I dont need you, or the Sith anymore, i have a family and those that are my friends, and i would die before losing them, especially before losing my family again." Her body shot forward, at Balaya as she brought her blades both down in a X shaped strike, her movements and strengths augmented by her control over her emotions and how she fed on them without letting them go any further than past her very being. "NOW DIE." [member="Darth Praelior"]

 

[Balaya Praelior Zambrano]

[member="Alexandra Cinthra"]

That was a beautiful sight and Balaya moved, not forward that would be playing into the danger but backwards letting the force fuel her movements and her hands came up and forward almost in a thunderclap while the walls reacted. The darkside energies lashing out in black tendrils speaking. "Odojinya" The darkside becoming a trap net to catch Alexandra and bind her in the energies of the darkside with blackish purple mesh. If she went into the net of darkside energy that wrapped around to close in on all sides and cut Alexandra if she was inside off from the force until released.
