Atlas Falls
The cold metal ground sent screaming pain through his body. Taku rolled through on instinct and slumped onto his gut, groaning. The abuse was more than he had ever endured, and now, he was unarmed and unarmored. With both hands shaking, the Padawan pushed himself back up. When he found his footing again, Takui staggered. His head was spinning.

The world around him had become hell. Men were dying, sacrificing themselves for everything they held faith in. He watched Imperial forces press forward and blaster bolts rip through Alliance men like they were nothing. He felt powerless.

He was powerless.

Bereft of a lightsaber, only the Jedi's body stood between this Sith and his goal. The other man was filled to overflowing with hatred. Blood was spilling down from Taku's forehead now, cascading over one eye. He kept it shut.

With a hacking cough, the Jedi watched the Sith summon the very weapon that Taku had been disarmed of. There was something in that moment, in that silence, a conflict that Takui understood all too well.

Both men struggled with finding their place in the Galaxy. Everything had changed for Taku in short order. His mother had died, and she left him with an request he was not certain he could ever fulfill. She told him to become a Jedi.

This man wanted more.

Hunger drove the Sith, a hunger for power, for strength, and for victory. A hollow victory meant nothing to the man in front of Takui. He saw this obstacle as something simply to be overcome.

They experienced the same struggle, but found very different answers.

Taku watched the hilt of his blade clatter to the ground in front of him. It was a temptation, an invitation- take up the blade and ascend. Become something more. Give meaning to your name.

His fingers moved over the weapon as he crouched low, in spite of his pain. Taku's body lurched and pain shot through him again as he slowly rose, turned the hilt over in his hands and for a moment he studied it. The answer seemed so easy. He had another chance to fight.

Taku's ruby gaze moved to the other man, certain that his actions were born of hubris. He wanted to drag the Jedi down to hell with him, a bloody battle to the death in which one of them climbed high on the corpse of the other.

But he had found another answer.

The hilt clattered to the ground once more, tossed aside. Taku exhaled quietly, embracing whatever fate might come. With a serene smile, he faced death head on.

"I don't need a name," he replied. "I'm just a Jedi."

"We're actually doing this?" a voice questioned over the drop ship's howling engine.

"Hell yeah!" Ryv called back with a wide grin. "How else are we gonna break our way through to dust Carnifex and relieve Xesh? Can't expect them to have all the fun, can we?"

The Sword of the Jedi looked down at the stark white speeder he received after the strike against Muunilist. Back then, he led something similar to this little maneuver. Imperial and Jedi Knights alike rained down from the skies over the grassy fields beyond the city limits. Together they raced forward, a clear-cut gamble on whether or not they would complete their mission. The tension was palpable as artillery rained down all around them. Tufts of grassy earth exploded upwards, only to bathe them in the muck and grime seconds later. It shouldn't have worked out as well as it did, yet they somehow broke through the Sith's defense around the city and punctured enough of a hole for the New Imperial tanks to batter away what remained.

Before then, Ryv had experienced the burden of leadership. He knew what it meant to stand at the forefront of an armed force of warriors. But that push to break the Sith's defensive line changed him. Something about staring fate in the eye could do that to a person, especially if they didn't blink.

<"Two kilometers and closing to DZ.">

Ryv looked Zaavik's way as the announcement rippled through the hull. Those not already strapped in and prepared lept atop their speeders and went to work. Most of the Jedi were disciplined enough not to leave such things for the last possible moment. Ryv, on the other hand? He picked up the gambler's attitude long ago.

He studied Zaavik as he stepped closer, keen to know whether or not the decision had gotten to him. Upon seeing him, the Sword knew he needn't worry any longer. The zeltron's face bore no worry or concern. Adrenaline already set in, the surge of energy hard at work as it washed away whatever may have unnerved him moments before. Ryv grinned and set a hand on Zaavik's shoulder.

"Keep your eyes on the prize, Z. Nothing can slow you down if you do," Ryv squeezed once and stepped back. As much as he wanted to say something else, there wasn't much to be said moments away from their crazed push. So, he threw a leg over his speeder and strapped himself down. His lightsaber jostled side to side as the dropship swerved to the side. An explosion ripped through space they'd been only seconds before, the shockwave enough to unbalance most inside. He leaned forward and took hold of the speeder's handles with a wide grin. "Man, I can't believe I get to do this again."

<"Two-hundred meters.">

"Woohoo!" Ryv tugged back on the accelerator and shot after Zaavik a split-second later. The wind whipped his hair about wildly. His leather jacket slapped against his side as they descended through the sky. He kicked the bike into gear and shot forward inches from the ground. Ryv pulled to the right and swept around the wreckage of a smoking assault vehicle, only to shoot up and back over it seconds later. Resolve burst from its hilt as he fell back in line beside the zeltron. He slashed out with his saber as the speeder cavalry crashed into the Eternal Empire's formation, hewing left and right indiscriminately. Weapons fell away as arms that held them only seconds before thudded to the ground.

Ryv weaved back and forth as they cut a bloody swathe through their foes.

"If the Eternal Empire so chooses to bed their Sith overlords, so be it!" his voice roared over the commlink. "We'll make sure to send em to the grave side-by-side! For the Alliance!"

If Death heralded their charge, his brother War would not be far behind.

SONG OR SOMETHING

After chucking the lightsaber for the Jedi to reclaim, Kaze slowly began to adopt a ready stance. Hilt held out horizontally, the crimson beam of energy hummed diagonally across his torso. His left foot shuffling into place in front of him. The Padawan was weak, his movements slow as he reached for his weapon, his tool of protection, the hilt that denoted him peacekeeper.

This'll end quick.

He could feel the thrum of his saber. He was in tune with the weapon, more than he had ever been before. Whether it was the nearby nexus that fueled his refinement of the connection between him and his blade, or if it was the bloodletting it had gone through on this day, it, like many things that day didn't matter.

"Time to end th-" Kaze's words abruptly stopped, caught in his throat as he watched Takui Takui 's hilt tumble out of his hand, dropping onto the ground. Time slowed, disbelief, surprise, uncertainty, rage. They all ran through his mind, His hands, joined together on his hilt twisting, the sound of the leatheris gloves tightening reaching his ears.

Slowly, he looked up from the blade, his words echoing in his mind.

"I don't need a name," he replied. "I'm just a Jedi."

Stance faltering, the aggravated shaking spread from his hands and to the rest of his frame. Arms dropping, he stared those fiery daggers at the Padawan. He felt disappointment, betrayal, one that he could not yet recognize he had no entitlement too. His lips trembled, his brows furrowing together to form into a knot before raising his humming blade again.

Kaze stared at the Jedi.

He welcomed death.

The Sith acolyte couldn't comprehend it, process it. It unnerved him beyond anything he had ever experienced in his life. Even in his many sleepless nights, haunted by the death of a man he never knew... Never had he experienced such a lack of purpose in that moment. And yet, it felt familiar. In a way that he couldn't understand.

Fine then...

He felt the Force pass through him, filling his entire being with its body when he summoned and bent it to his will. There were othe rpresences here. He could feel it. But in that moment, the Nexus was his font. All for him to drink from.

And he indulged.

"No... Not yet."

He lurched forwards.

It didn't even feel like his feet touched the ground with how fast he moved.

The crimson lightsabre was plunged forwards, straight for his abdomen to impale him on the burning blade of the Sith's fury.

He took another breath, and in spite of all the chaos that surrounded him, Takui felt an odd peace settle over him. There was no hate, no malice, no anger or frustration over him in that moment. The Padawan's eyes flickered shut and he exhaled. The world that felt so heavy started to fade away, along with everything else. The pain, so hot, so awful, bled together with his consciousness. Despite his minimal knowledge of the Force, he became acutely aware of it.

Layers of his being were stripped away to the metaphysical in the instant before the weapon closed the distance. He understood the line between this world and the next, and the paper-thin veil where his consciousness wavered. He could see his Mother there, just beyond the breach.

She was smiling.

Taku's eyes opened as the lancing pain seared through his abdomen. He felt the inside of his body boiling, blood and tissue instantly cantering on impact. It was a clean wound, but no less brutal. Pain ripped across every neuron in his body, and though he gasped in surprise and agony, another expression was etched on his face.

Taku, like his Mother, wore a smile.

In that moment, the realization struck him. He had done right by his mother's final request. She was proud. Nothing else mattered.

The Jedi's body folded and collapsed on the cold durasteel ground. All the while, the sound of speeders ripped closer in the distance. The Jedi were on their way.

Takui had held the line.

"M-mom," he whispered, "I did it..."

The Voice came through on her comms. Lori smiled a little as she heard it, almost relieved. It had been some time since she was in contact with LE-03 (Leigh) LE-03 (Leigh) and the reasons for that weren't too hard to guess. No doubt it had to do with the apparent death of Kainan Wolfe Kainan Wolfe . Such an event had caused a ripple effect in the entire region. Lori's family and the Eclipse Rebellion had been officially blamed for it by the Eternal Empire even though they all had nothing to do with it. Being the public face of the Rebellion, she was the scapegoat and the pawn. And what better way for the Empire to get others to squash the Rebellion than to turn more against them.

But the Empire's plan was doomed to fail, for the Rebels had multiple members inside the Empire. In some scenarios, the Rebels had to lose in order to win andthat was something that they took in stride. It was all a part of their elaborate plan to take down the Empire.

There was no need for Lori to respond to the Voice. Just a couple of clicks on her commlink was enough. She focused her attention on the firefight up ahead of her. Another message came through on her commlink affirming the earlier assessment at the market. Blackwatch was there and by the looks of things, they were cornered. Although Blackwatch, like any wild animal, was never weakened when cornered. That was when those in pursuit had to be on the top of their game, for it was then that Blackwatch Agents were the most dangerous.

"Copy that, I'm gonna start shopping now." Lori double-checked the charge on her blaster again before heading towards the building where Gorgon and a few others were pinned. She had a some tricks up her sleeve, and either they were going to eliminate all of the agents, or...if luck was on their side, capture them.

ERASE_ME

His body propelled forwards with a madness that he could barely control, and when he took that final step in plunging the violent beam of energy through his torso, Kaze finally released that pent up breath that he hadn't even realized he had been holding. With his saber plunged through him, he could see the light of his life withering, disappearing right in front of him. In such close quarters, no one else would see it.

No one else would see his dying moments save for the one that took them.

His hands tightened on the hilt, unwilling to let go as the two of them stood there, as if frozen in time.

The sulfuric glow of his corrupted gaze faded, his stormy grey eyes unmarred by the vision of the Dark Side as he observed the Jedi's death right before his eyes.

Deactivating his crimson death stick, his arms wrapped around Takui Takui 's torso, bringing him down gently as he knelt to the vile earth of the Citadel. He placed his head down to the earth gently, as if anything more would shatter it into a million pieces. Kaze knelt beside his dying body, slowly shaking his head as his gaze set landed on the wound in his gut.

"M-mom."

My first Jedi kill...

My first... Kill.


Kaze remained deathly silent, like the reaper himself, clad in obsidian as he observed the Padawan's final goodbye. Or in this case, reunification with his mother. Tears rolled down from his eyes, the hot, salty droplets carving through the muck that had stained his face earlier and through the trials of combat he had just experienced. He didn't notice them yet.

"I did it..."

"I did it." He'd repeat silently, the words holding an impossible weight for him to truly bear.

When the light vanished, he reached to close the Padawan's eyes, but before he could, a sudden rough, and harsh hand took him by the shoulder and jerked him the young acolyte back from the corpse.

The emotions he felt immediately fell away, vanishing as if they had never existed at all. And when he turned to look up into the helmet of who seized him, the glowing corruption of the Dark Side returned to peer back fiercely in the visor.

"They've brought reinforcements!" The Sith Trooper cried in his face, unperturbed by the unnatural gaze that shot through his soul. "We don't have the men for this! It's time to go!" And with another tug, Kaze was pulled back and sprung up to his feet, stumbling back with the Trooper. He spared a final glance for the Jedi left on the ground, and catching sight of the hilt he left behind, he summoned it to his right, muttering the silent vow as the Jedi's hilt found its new home on his belt.

"I'll remember you, Jedi." And they dove back through the orifices in the crumbling walls they had used to get into the keep's Grounds to begin with. Back to the swamp and bogs.

It was a mouthful of garbled sounds that Mao could hardly pronounce, but he knew their significance. Warlords of the Sith. The TRUE keepers of the Sith doctrine and masters of the Dark Side. Somehow he had made it into their ranks and had proven himself a valuable asset for them. By eradicating the corrupted Sword of the Jedi, Lanik Dawnstar Lanik Dawnstar , and securing hidden hyperlanes through Corellian Space he had given the Sith Warlords a path to escape the misguided Sith Empire and the betrayal of the New Imperial Order's Operation Kyber Dark.

But they wanted more than to just survive, and their time was coming.

Mao absently balled and unballed his right hand into a fist as he approached the vault his Master had tasked him with securing in the chaos of this battle. It had been clear as he stalked through the hidden path that someone had come before him, making the journey easier but also nerve wracking. Was he following the path of a couple of unlucky grave robbers or was the presence left behind truly that of another opportunistic Dark Lord. Unfortunately, either way, it seemed there were rats digging around in Galactic Alliance's trash. He sucked his teeth. It was a pitty that someone was going through the trouble of blowing the citadel apart. He wasn't much of a Sith scholar but he could appreciate the energies here and the legacy left behind by powerful New Era Sith Lords like Moridin.

His eyes fell on the trio of Sith that stood between him and his objective. The topknotted one, he recognized. His face and name had come across Kaito's desk plenty of times in the last few months of war, though he'd thought the man to have been dead or at least gone and no longer a thorn in the side of his Master, but that would have been too optimistic. He didn't offer words. Words was Kaito's job when he was in the Senate or standing in front of a crowd. This...This brutish work was for Mao.

When he snapped his arms up, releasing the hidden blasters in his coat however, he felt a great sense of fear and loathing emanating from Carnifex. It froze him in place as his flight or fight instincts began to kick in. He swallowed and thought better of attacking three trained Sith at the same time and instead walked forward to meet them.

"I see your Master is hard at work attempting to open this vault. Find its secrets and all that...You wouldn't mind sharing would you?" He winced internally. This was why Kaito talked and not Mao. The Atrisian accented and modulated voice sounded awkward and the words tumbled from his lips like a rockslide, unelegant and straight to the point.

Awful.

Task Group Lucre

Tithe monitored the space battle ragging through the Byss system. Every action by a Trade Federation resource - the majority of which answered to Commanding Admiral Gat Tambor Gat Tambor - was carefully tabulated. The Senator for Aargau used flight telemetry to calculate fuel burn, while also making note of every time a straighter returned to its carrier for rearmament. Destruction of Trade Defence Force assets was a contact source of chagrin as he estimated the total cost of the battle.

While his figures didn’t account for the actions of the wider Galactic Alliance forced, elsewhere he watched as Lord Marlon Sularen Marlon Sularen sacrificed five straighter squadrons in a ruse, before putting up the planetary shields and ordering the Gauntlet platforms to open fire. The energy cost of both actions alone would be huge - Tithe did a mental calculation, thankful that he wasn’t footing the bill. He noted Corvette Line 253 - commander by Commodore Constantine Oliva Constantine Oliva - was holding position hidden behind a moon - a valuable addition to the GA asset column.

“Senator, Ms Vern to see you.”

“Ahh, yes.”
Tithe rose from his chair and turned to greet his guest. Just because he was in the middle of an invasion, didn’t mean he couldn’t still conduct business. “But indeed the pleasure is all mine,” he replied. “Please please, take a seat.”

Alli began by explaining the plight of the Zweihander Union, the economic powerhouse of the Eternal Empire and possibly the closest competitor to the Trade Federation. The Eternal Empire had built itself up as largely self-sustained, and it was doubted that the Chancellor’s planned sanctions would do little to slow their march to war. It was corporations and conglomerates such as the ZU would they were targeting.

“The sanctions are, I’m afraid, robust,” Tithe replied. “It is unfortunate that their impact will be so ruinous on business interests within the Eternal Empire’s sphere of influence.” Tithe himself had struggled with whether to support the measures or not - he was a businessman at heart and a firm opponent to the interference of government in commerce.

“But unfortunately, the Alliance has been given little choice.” He motioned to the battle raging beyond the viewport of the ship in orbit above Byss. “The cessation of hostilities is our ultimate goal. Certainly, the Union has the ear of the Empress?”

An alarm rang out over the bridge, forcing Tithe to pause his negotiations. “My sincere apologies, I shall return forthwith.”

He turned his attention back to the tactical holo as a squadron of TIE Defenders were launched by Grand Moff Vel'alari and moved quickly to engage the Eternal Empire space forces. A number of EE interceptors ( Bella Bella ) dove headfirst into the foray against overwhelming odds.

Tithe opened a channel to the other GA forces. “This in Venality II. Forges are alacritous and at your command.” The massive Sharkhawk III-class Forgeship was a literal factory in space, able to fabricate spare parts, missiles and torpedoes, even whole starfighters if needed. The skilled crew of artisans and droids could create anything the GA force may need, sustaining them indefinitely so long as he had a supply of raw resources.

Naturally, it would all be accompanied by a bill at the cessation of hostilities - Tithe was certainly not a philanthropist. Anyone who believed that economics and warfare were not intrinsically mistaken had no place on the battlefield.

Eyes clenched shut, the once-Emperor continued his work.
Another circle of locks fell to his machinations, another step taken toward breaching the vault. He could feel the reverberations of the battle which raged around the citadel, the brief disruption to his efforts nearly spoiling everything. But he reigned the power in, keeping it focused on the task at hand. Though the majority of his concentration was focused on the vault locks, he kept himself aware of everything that was happening around him.
Including the efforts to breach the vault from another angle, an annoying distraction to be sure.
Another lock disengaged as he pondered the ramifications, he was getting so close to it now. A cocoon of beskar engulfed the vault itself, harvested from the earliest battles between the Sith and the Mandalorians in the post-darkness age. It was the mitigating reason why one had to go through the front door, the scars of futile attempts to bypass the locks were apparent.
What no one else understood was that the final lock was meant to be impossible, it could only be disengaged by Moridin himself. There were none living who could replicate his unique signature.
But Carnifex didn't need to replicate it, he had the means to unlock the last barrier when the time came.
His gauntlet held a shard of Moridin's essence within it, the sentient strand of what was once the Dread Lord incessantly seeking to reunite itself with the other disparate shards lost in the universe. Carnifex quelled its eagerness, keeping it bound to his will alone, and it would prove useful in unlocking the vault.
It was only a matter of time.

Slowly she raised her left hand, engulfing the poorly chosen elemental attack toward her hand; balling the energy tight in her fist. The heat was painful, scarring, but she held onto it proudly. "I seek nothing of the sorts," her words came out infused with venom. Her cat eyes drove tracks over the fallen GA soldiers, finding a failure in her attack, but the moon was still out and her Goddess was still protecting her.

"What I seek, Jedi, is far beyond your comprehension," she spat whilst strolling circles around her enemy, the ball of energy still continuously burning deeply into furred palm.

Just as GA soldiers had once arrived, now came the Eternal Empire's soldiers; placing their tools of killing upon her foe.
"I should ask your surrender,"
her words flooded with hatred, "But I think you are the one!"

With all that pent up energy she held fast harmoniously in her paw, the energy of light became darkened into a color of black and red; vibrating with hatred. Putting her paw to her lips, creaming in delight to the burnt smell of her kitty flesh as her tongue licked that ball of energy of hate; she turned and released it upon the Empire soldiers. Where it was once a ball of innocent light, once, became a murderous lighting; turning life to salt.

"I
am Darth Kauhu! I seek to murder the Order of the Sith,! Become my apprentice....and I will lead you into a world of power and meaning," came her words entombed in a icy chill. Naturally, her proposal was a lie, but this creature knew her Sith name; and he would die....or submit.

Before the droid had even managed to squeeze another word of binary out, Bella had already destroyed five TIE Fighters, the deafening explosions of the ship accentuated by the burning debris that spiral throughout the depths of space, plummeting towards the abyss. Well, he supposes that she IS an ace pilot... Maybe they'd have a shot after all, if she continued at this pace.

' Well, the good news is that we're going to be blowing through these things at remarkable rates. '


There's a series of loud hums, jets growing louder and louder behind them.

' The bad news is that they have TIE Defenders now. '


And true to his word, a myriad of the starfighters approach their rear. Upgraded and improved, they lacked the blatant weaknesses of TIE Fighters, and as such, BB-610 had resumed panicking. A stream of hot, red shots follow the Delta-7B's movements - the astromech speeding them up considerably. The Defenders were backed up by another series of Fighters, and they were slowly catching up. But, perhaps that wasn't a bad thing.

' Keep the cannons fixed in front of us. I'm shutting off our engines. ' And before any questions could be asked, there's an audible thunk as the Delta-7B's turbines slow to a halt, the starship drifting forward with unsteady twirls as it gradually loses momentum. As such, the bombardment of enemy TIEs speed on right ahead of them, as BB-610 waits patiently for the Delta-7B to twirl one more time; its autocannons aiming directly at-


A burst of firepower spurts from the heavy artillery as rounds upon rounds land perfectly into the bodies of opposing starfighters. The dual TIE Fighters are destroyed without question, leaving the Defenders badly damaged. In an instant, BB-610 reactivates the engine, and they effortlessly catch up to the fleeing ships. With a few more shots, the Defenders are incinerated.

BB-610 seems incredibly pleased with himself, given the orchestra of giddy whistles and mischievous giggles. ' I've been wanting to try that for six years. They didn't tell me it would feel that good. '


Their celebration is cut short, however, with the introduction of another plethora of TIE Defenders. A blast is shot dangerously close to the astromech slot, speeding by BB-610's head, and it prompts him to curve the ship into a barrel roll with a worried, mechanical scream. The droid aligns the autocannons, but his energy is put into drifting the Delta-7B with as unpredictable pattern as he can muster, swerving past enemy reinforcements, leaving Bella to take aim with a loud ' SHOOTTHEMSHOOTTHEMSHOOTTHEMSHOOTTHEM- '

' Get them off our backs, sweetheart- I'm going to disrupt their signal and overheat their blasters to buy us some time, but it's going to take a while. '

<"Two kilometers and closing to DZ.">
RIpley’s hands quaked as they settled atop the speeder handles, a manifestation of the rush wreaking its havoc on her body. The promise of battle had. Her eyes flicked to each of the other Jedi aboard, assessing. Their excitement flowed out through the force, fueling her own even further. A rogue thought surfaced regarding the dangers of false confidence, but it was gone as soon as it had appeared. The knight had no time to track it down and consider, as the cargo doors opened and the wind whipped her face.
<"Five-hundred meters.">
Noise roared around her, the melody of the bikes coupling with the ship engine. Some would find it an ugly tune, but it brought a grin to Ripley’s face, a glorious song to mark the beginning of their mission.
<"Two-hundred meters.">
The zeltron watched as the others took off, enlivened shouts echoing throughout the surrounding areas. Ripley’s grin grew even wider, twisting her throttle and joining them. The speeder plummeted the short distance off the ramp, and time all but came to a halt. She gasped, the adrenaline surging to new heights in the free fall. Before she was ready, the clock resumed, dust clouds falling behind her as she zipped after her teammates.
The clangs of conflict grew closer, eventually reverberating all around them. Ripley followed Zaavik’s lead, withdrawing her own saber from it’s holster, azure blade coming to life. Her speeder weaved in and out of formations, blaster fire whizzing in her ears. The woman’s arm swung out, weapon meeting a few unlucky soldiers who crumpled on contact. Ryv’s voice came through the commlink, emboldening her further. Swaths of enemies fell beneath the team, a surreal sight as the calvary went forth with a fearless determination.
“For the Alliance!” Ripley shouted, relentless strikes bringing yet another fighter to their knees. If the Eternal Empire wanted to side with the Sith, the New Jedi Order would plague their thoughts, making them regret the day they stood against the light.

His gaze hardened as she spoke, toying with the orb as if it were a child's plaything. Her offer was one he had heard before. It was one he had even accepted, albeit as a ruse. As she went to release her attack, Vulpesen changed his stance, ready to catch her counter, only to be shocked as it turned upon her own enemy. There was a spark of relief within him, soon turned to horror as he watched her kill her own men, ripping each life from the force in a moment of searing agony. He was no longer a jedi... Death was not meaningless... it stood against his deepest values, as did treachery.

"You said I don't smell of the sith. I assure you I am not a jedi." The words came out as a low growl, a reverberation caused by his Zorren vocal chords. As he spoke, his presence in the force would shift. To those who were attuned to such things, Vulpesen had for years been a warm neutral presence, ever dancing back and forth with the light. Now, even those with barely any ability to sense would find him impossible to not notice. It was as if a void had descended upon him, a dark cloak that consumed or repelled all light, leaving him a pitch black spot of spite and hatred in the force. It was every injustice he felt towards the galaxy, every slight the force had done him from treasonous friends, to lost loves, to the lives lost of those he knew deserved more from this life. "Not anymore. I know you sith. Even as you scheme against your own, the common people of the galaxy will always fall under heel. Systems fall to your tyrannical whim in the name of order. You offer a lfie of meaning... I assure you I have plenty."

Alone with the woman on the battle field, Vulpesen ignited his saberstaff and started towards her, each beam a pillar of black coated in vibrant gold. "Life, Freedom, Unity. My power comes from those whom I defend. My meaning is the code of the Vitae. I knew the sith and the jedi both. I rose above them both. I am Vulpesen Torrevaso, Valde of the Vitae, Alphos of Veradune and Archwilder of the Veran Forest." With that, his cloak began to evaporate, the man beneath it appearing once more. "I offer you salvation. A chance to atone." He extended his weapon, the shining blade pointed at the sith. He would always offer a way out, but he doubted this woman was ready to take that step. Few who walked her path were.

When Elpsis unleashed her fire magic on Ingrid after the latter teleported behind her, the bladeswoman had been more or less right in front of her. As a result, Elpsis had not needed to strike a wizard pose and stretch out her hand to focus fire.

This meant that her hand was close to her body. Thus when Ingrid came in for another strike, Elpsis swung Inferno to parry it, intercepting the blade and pushing it away. The manoeuvre caused Elpsis to wince and a pained groan emitted from her throat, as a result of the wound in her side and the poison. Her ability to suppress her pain kept the worst of it at bay, but it did not eliminate it or allow her to go on without any audible or visible effect on her. But then pain had its purpose. For one, it functioned as an early warning system for one's body.

As for the fire...it was still there. As Elpsis had unleashed an omnidirectiona, sustained burst. Omnidirectional meant it had been like an area-of-effect wave. As Ingrid was in range to conduct a melee attack, she was still within the blazing heat. And now Elpsis willed the flames to push towards her, aiming to surround and cook her. This, of course, required some concentration on her part.

Drawing in his concentration to maintain his concealed presence in the Force Bernard would wait for the moment that Caedyn Arenais would stumble upon the established scene. Giving the Jedi Knight enough time to study the scene before arriving only a minute behind him, entering the room and giving his best attempt at a surprised noise. Before drawing the cyan Lightsaber from his belt and leveling it at Caedyn. Dropping his concealment in the moment to let the Light Side Aura wash over the other Jedi. Bernard's face twisting in a show of obvious disdain for the Silver Jedi as he leveled his blade in an accusatory point toward Caedyn. "Master Arenais. I should have known this would be the doing of one of you traitors. First parley with the Sith and now an attempt to weaken the Alliance against outside aggressors?"

Summoning what false-indignation he could Bernard shook his head and would draw in a slow, aggravated breathe. "Surrender your weapon, I do not wish to harm you. But you will be taken in for questioning." Without waiting for a response Bernard would extend a hand and, purposefully, not exert as much telekinetic Force as he could. Attempting to holding Caedyn in place as he approached to disarm the Jedi, his own blade held at the ready. His head shaking in disgust at the carnage surrounding him, his eyes filling with a righteous anger barely tinted with a deep sorrow as he met Caedyn's eyes. "How could you do something like this?"

Drawing in a breathe, Bernard would pause just outside the reach of his Lightsaber being leveled at Caedyn, his other hand peaceably outstretched to accept Caedyn's Lightsaber should he wish to surrender it. He made no real aggressive move toward Caedyn, Bernard's eyes never directly meeting Caedyn's as he looked upon the corpse of the slain trooper with disappointment in his soft blue eyes. False emotions of regret flowing off the disguised Bernard fortified by a genuine desire for Caedyn to peacefully surrender his weapon.

"I've spilt my share of Bryn--" the Jedi hurtled forward with speed Cara couldn't match. With a demanding will she pulled the Force around her arms as an insulator, the barrier sparking as she met his blade with the back of her hand, "--blood!" She threw a sharp jab toward his head only to miss as he spun with the momentum off his own strike. The outline of his face was traced by her HUD then uploaded into a databank. As the loading wheel spun so did the Jedi, and once more Cara stretched out a hand to meet the attack.

"Treaties must be made with trust, benefit all parties, not--" sparks flew as limb and saber clashed again. He was intent on speaking his piece, something Cara understood and chose to endure as she met his punctuating blows. A chime from her helmet signaled the finished process of data.

She was in over her rank. Each blow the former Grand Master of the Jedi connected made Cara pay with ground. She wasn't a fool as she kept her defense tight, more than willing for him to guide the beginning of their dance while awaiting an opportunity to switch leads. While he ruled the offensive there was a propensity for caution in his strikes, something Cara recognized as not hesitancy, but a purposed choice to restrain himself. A demonstration of skill.

An illustration of strength.

The unspoken proclamation of power.

It was that sort of power during her younger years she learned to respect, even envy, as she explored the branches of martial combat. To wield strength as a scalpel and dissect your enemy's defense was the true mark of a master in Cara's mind.

Her boots scraped against duracrete as she continued giving ground, yet something dark seemed to slip into the Jedi's tone. The longer he spoke the longer the ripples of emotion traveled in the Force. Even one who did not embrace the esoteric could sense his distress, and it gave Cara the opening she had sought. The blade swung for her legs and Cara dropped the barrier around her arms. She swung wide to meet the slash with her forearm, the metal of which was composed of a cortosis weave.

Following the weighted motion of her swing Cara reared back to send a kick with her makeshift greave, the metal shifting in form to lash out with a single spike.

"Fourteen! Fourteen systems we lost to them. We are all their victims, Master Morga."

Four walls later, Sergeant Dag was leading up a staircase from behind. The rooms Ghost Squadron had blasted their way through seemed, for the most part, to be completely irrelevant: a small barracks, a storage space, a mostly-empty armory, a room kitted out like an arena in miniature. All of them empty, all of them strangely neat. Why Dag thought strangely was the key word here, he couldn't quite put into words, other than that the deeper they delved into the place the more the place stunk. The pleasant tea-smell that had lingered around the Ghost had for the moment lapsed, and again he had the sense that the air was filled with what he imagined would result from someone trying to cook a Wookiee. By the time they reached the top of the staircase, it was enough to make his eyes water a little.

Which was also strange, because no one else on the team seemed to smell it.

Except for her. Halfway down the next hall, the Ghost paused, raising a hand to stop the men from overtaking her. From the back, he could see her chin raise under the helmet as if catching something on the air.

"Sergeant," she said, sounding distracted. "A word, if I may."

The other men turned to regard him, looking as puzzled as he felt, and Dag felt his ears burn as he sidled past them to stand at the front. "Here in the hall? It's an exposed front."

"We have a few seconds. I'd like your input before we go any deeper."

His input? The Ghost, madwoman hero of the Post, The Voice of Abbaji's silent and deadly hand, wanted his input? Dag thanked his lucky stars that Gorello wasn't on this operation as he followed her lead into a side room, little more than a closet. Her helmeted gaze was as impassive as ever as her fingertips grazed the walls of the tiny room.

"Do you know anything about what a Force Nexus is?" she asked, turning back to Dag and the rest of the Squadron.

None of them responded, clearly waiting for Dag to be their spokesperson again. "Can't say I do," he was forced to say, with a shrug to hide the flush across his neck. The briefing on this mission had used the word, sure, but he hadn't exactly had the time to do much more than a cursory search on the holonet as to its meaning. He'd been counting on her to take charge on that front. "Hear rumors that it makes Forcies more powerful. Some good, some bad...the report said this was a bad one, but it's got intel we need. That's why we're trying to get there."

At that, the Ghost shook her head only once. "We're not trying to get there, Sergeant," she said, strangely gently for someone in the middle of a warzone. "We've been there since we came up out of the sewer."

That...was not what Dag was expecting. "I--What?"

The Ghost nodded. "A Nexus is...it's hard to explain. But it's not a thing. It's a place. A place where the Force is concentrated--close to the surface of things." she waved the hand wielding her saber vaguely, as if to indicate the air itself rather than anything in the air. "Like when there’s an artery close to the surface of the skin, you know?"

She turned back towards the back of the room, her palm skimming the back wall almost lovingly. "It makes people strong, yes, but it's not the kind of strong you get to be in control of. You can't tap into the flow of a Nexus without it tapping into you, too. People who do...it does things to them. Screws with their heads. Makes them see things, hear things--"

"Or smell things."

The helmet swung sharply back towards him again, and for a second it felt like whatever eyes were behind that helmet could see right through him. Dag was suddenly sure that she knew exactly why he'd said it--that she knew why this place stunk of burning bodies. "Yeah."

The confirmation made Dag a little dizzy. "So, you're saying the whole PLACE is the Nexus," he said, trying to process it. He could get as far as recognizing that they were standing in the Nexus, yeah. The fact that the Nexus might be affecting him, and what that might mean...not so much. "So why didn't we just do what we were gonna do from that bathroom where we came up?"

This was the question the Ghost seemed to want to hear. She leaned in close to Dag, ushering the other men to listen close. "The closer to the center we can get, the clearer any visions I can get from it will be." she said. "But this is as close as we're getting without bumping into trouble." Her attention suddenly swung upward, and she pointed behind her at one of the room's far corners. "That way's the Empress. Out of the question." Dag followed her finger as it crept halfway across the wall behind them. "The vault would have been a good defensible choice, that was my first goal, but there's a Sith working the locks. He wants something in there, and denying him that's a waste of our time." She was pointing straight upwards now, at the rough unfinished stone of the ceiling. "The ritual room nearby is the center, almost right above us, but we'd be popping up on fights that could easily decide we're more of a problem." Finally, the finger swung down, this time pointing at the floor near her feet. "Or we could stay here. It's defensible, but there's only the one way in and out."

Dag was split between wanting to check the map to confirm her assertions, and wondering just how she managed to have all that in her head so easily. It wasn't the last time the Ghost had known things like that--she'd done something similar at the Post--but this was precise enough that it was a little disturbing. Was that a Nexus thing, or just a her thing? "Not a lot of good options," he finally managed, his own voice sounding weak in his ears.

"Right. So I want to know what you think we should do, Sergeant."

And there it was--the input she wanted from him. The Voice's agent just handed their entire tactical plan off to him, just like that. "That--" He started, a little alarmed at the sudden responsibility. "That's a lot of pressure all at once, Ma'am."

"I trust you, Sergeant." She reached up for his shoulder, patting it once; it came as an inexplicable reminder that this person was, somehow, shorter than him. "Don't think about it," she said, sounding quite sure of him. "Just close your eyes and give an order."

Well, so much for having time to process things. If the Ghost was telling Dag not to think about it, she'd already made up her mind that whatever his orders would be, they would be the right orders. Once again, that meant processing what that meant would have to come later. For now, it was time for the Sergeant to be the Sergeant. He sucked in a deep breath, and snapped around to the rest of the squad.
"Everyone, inside," he said briskly. "Two men on the door. Ma'am, I want you to use your weapon and cut a hole in the ceiling...." he flung out his hand to point at a random point in the ceiling, just inside the door. "There. Make sure it's big enough for a human to fit through, but make it a tight fit. Then we'll flank you while you do whatever magic thing you're here to do."

The Ghost nodded, then drew her lightsaber. As she drove its bloodshine blade into the ceiling and the rest of the men took up defensive positions, Dag got back on the comm.

"VoA, we're almost through. Anticipating some fire, but we're taking a defensive post while your guy does the Force thing. Any interference would be great."

A manhole-sized chunk of stone fell to the ground at their feet. Through the aperture, Dag could see a lavish space, decorated in what looked like red silks, and hear the snap-hiss of more than one lightsaber.

TASK FORCE XESH
MORIDIN’S CITADEL | NEXUS DUTY

BODY/PRISON

"The Jedi will purify this place. Submit to the will of the force."

"Purge the Keep with the light."

“Gooud.” Maijan nodded once, keeping a wary eye on the Jedi’s behaviour as he initiated the spectacle needed. Echinated tendrils of the current responded to the slow cleansing process by quivering, and the Fallanassi gave a small smile born from relief. As much as she hated being told what to do, she would always have a greater passion for seeing Light triumph over darkness. It was the foundation of her mystical ways, after all.

The Jedi were rising to perform their part of the bargain, and she gave a sharp nod of her head to get Viribus’ attention. They had a job to do as well: Protect the Jedi. With their numbers, it would be defensive and reactive. Not her preferred position, but ever since Plexis, that was the story of her life.

If she ever saw that Mandalorian again, Rynn Vizsla Rynn Vizsla , she’d kill him with her bare hands. For now, she’d have to hone that angry energy into something else. Like...Sith. She could feel them moving around within the citadel, and with the current, she could see them.

Before she and Viribus could get a move on, a riotous sound of the calvary pierced through the normal sounds of battle.


“Thank feth.” She exhaled, feeling something close to gratitude. Her shoulders felt looser. The cleansing of the nexus wasn’t her, nor Vir’s, job and she’d felt a sense of dread when it was just two others that showed up for the task.

That meant they could be more proactive about their duty. Once more she motioned to advance within the walls of the compound. Deep within, like a beating heart of black, was the vault.

Warily, Maijan pulled a pistol from the holster slung around her hip. With her other hand, she waved over the Zabrak as they encroached the crypt burgeoning with evil. Her gesture created ripples in The Current. The threads twisting about one another to create renditions of Viribus, amplifying the number of him into one, two, three, four, five representations of the Dark Jedi.


“I have yourr backs.” The woman reminded him humourously with a wan grin, forcing her teeth as if she were settled.

The Current hummed, and Maijan's eyes glowed. Tiny knots twirled about the space within the area occupied by darkness, blatantly creating spaces that left nothing but pockets of void.
"I think I see a trap.

Let's sprrringe et."

OUTSIDE MORIDIN’S CASTLE

The dice were to be rolled, everything now hanged in the balance, life and death placed their bets, light, and darkness on their endless clash would now find themselves on a battle of wills. Such fields of glory, bathed in blood were the perfect spot for something such as he was, the creature found pleasure in such things, but it was loyal, bound to serve his mistress, like so many fools that formed her petty kingdom, yet, Sunfyre was her mount, he knew the darkest corners of her minds on the bound they shared and he cowered before none. Mighty was his kind, of great pride and terrible wroth, tyrants they were called in their home planet, for they ruled over the skies as its overlords, and were considered one of the most vicious, cunning, and deadly species in the entire galaxy, easily able of chewing down a gundark and outsmarting a vornskr, this creature was not a mindless sithspawn, this was the pride and joy of evolution, slowly trained to form an unbreakable bond with Lunafreya Solidor.

The Force was but another thing that Sunfyre could sense, he could crawl in it and roam over its banks, he did not understand its bequest, and merely took what he wanted from it. From the field that surrounded this place, the creature used his eyes and sense of smell to examine for perils, roaming with his hostile mind as he stood guard. Slowly dragging his heavy body out of his hiding place, he had to save his strength and putting himself between the entrance of the Dread Lord’s Keep and any intruders that would dare roam inside and spoil his ladyship’s design. For the night was dark and full of terrors, but the fire burned all away.


DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE

They were at this for a while now. Diabolico hopped like a frog slamming his spear against metal, searching for weaknesses, sparring the creature’s blows with deadly precision, as both he fought elegantly with hos spear, but every time he achieved his goal and cut one of the creature’s parts away from its mystical body, that same part returned to that metal body, flying from where it fell as if it did not happen. A spirit it was, bound to this plane of existence by trapping his soul on something, yet, he did not display any power, which probably meant he had no power beyond that brutality his melee skills showed, causing Lunafreya to ponder very carefully on this matter before leaning her head backward and giving a harsh nod towards Ecliptor.

The pitch-black metal shaped droid resembled a knight in his frame and was one in all of his programming, her first defender, her sword and shield. The droid ran through the corridor, unsheathing his dread blade and jumping in the air, sinking the nullifier metal on the creature, cutting off one of her arms, both Ecliptor and Diabolico had little trouble cutting his parts again, this time removing every piece of platted metal it covered his body, but as before, each time those parts returned to the main body remaking its monstrous shape. Forcing Diabolico to unleash an annoyed snarl of anger, forcing Lunafreya to slam her staff on the floor once more, calling his attention with clear displeasing on her grimace.
Enough! Finish this already, Diabolico.”, the golden lizard growled, taken by rage and attacked alongside Ecliptor, their blows worked fast, most were sparred but as he chopped off the creature’s chest plate and toss it afar, Diabolico noticed the gleaming tone of something where a heart should be. Raising his spear high in the air, he shoved the blade inside and pushed the glowing thing far from the body, only to watch as the parts composing the armor fell to the ground, lifeless, and the small round shaped crystal rolled threw the floor until it fell before little less than a few inches from Lunafreya, and as she smiled, a cold and joyless act, the elzeri raised her leg and slammed her feet on the crystal, shattering to pieces.

There was no pad in the back, nor any words of appraisal, Lunafreya simply passed them by and continue walking to the end of the hallway, discovering a giant round shaped stone door, carved with the Dread Lord’s sigul. Her squire, Belias, ran to the left corner of the door, pulling its leaver only for absolutely nothing to happen, returning his gaze to the leaver and finally noticing a small round-shaped hole just above its door, raising his arm and showing the same hole for his mistress. Lunafreya frowned her eyebrows and turned her head to face what was behind, realizing she had just destroyed the key.
Well, if you have it I think I can glue it back together.”, Belias muttered in a sardonic tone, causing her to turn her gaze immediately upon him, shutting him up with the horrible expression of her stern face. In silence, she started to walk in circles in front of the door, her left hand going to the sides of her head, scratching and kneading the temporal bone while dabbing curses in a raucous voice, mostly to herself.

“Came here to this damn place, trying to find the damn heart of this damn nexus, damn Sith building damn mazes, why can’t they just build normal keeps like a normal person? I damn hate those damn...”, while Belias ignored her, focusing himself on the door, slamming his fist on the bare rock growling in pain for a moment, before doing it again and finally perceiving some small carvings of a different metal spiked at the door, waiting a moment before pointing out as he turned to face his mistress. “I’m surrounded by idiots, damn idiots, idiots!”
“I think this is obsidian, with something else... anvilstone perhaps... Geology ain’t my expertise.” Her steps ceased, and her gaze was turned back to those doors, her lips joined together on a small pout as her mind rummaged for something she heard a while ago regarding one of those metals. The pout on her lips disappeared and Lunafreya grinding her teeth thinking about what she had to do, her left hand pulled the white fur of the Daifanwa to the sides as she turned back and backed away a few strides, grumbling on a foul mood that made them tremble.

“Move, fools!”, at a safe distance, and Belias refusing to tarry any longer in there, her nostrils groaned heavily a few times to calm her down, as she reached out for control over herself on summoning the Force when she spoke on her native tongue, her voice was a lewd vicious thing, immersed on torment. <Oh, Mischivar, that dwells in a forgotten quasar. Unfaithful Mother, that prayed under the Valmar, lend me thy frost, lend me thy croft. Wiggle thy toes, open thine eyes, twist thy fingers toward the sky. Winter is sweet, be not shy, on thy feet, so sayeth I! Blizzaga!”!>, as commanded with the majesty of her compelling voice, the staff held faithfully between the fingers of both her hands obeyed, as the tip of Anordûr’s stone displayed, shone with white dense light as blizzard itself blew with the promise of frost against those doors. Obsidian was born out of the infernal magma of vulcanic planets such as Mustafar and Ilmaren, the sharpest substance in the known universe counterpart to scientific makings, but fragile and brittle when faced by opposing elemental damage, her deed proceeded for a while until a large portion of the door became hard and white, frozen with the lower temperatures, showing that off on the other side of the room as well, where her ambition awaited her greeting: the ritual chamber, alas, her passion was at hand.

As she stopped, raising the staff on the air, smoke still came out of its white stone and the smallest of snowflakes brought to life, only to be vanquished by the wet temperature inside the keep’s bowels. Not far from the frozen door, Belias Vindicate looked wondered at the magnificent making of his mistress, wondering on how wicked such sorceries could be in the hands of a proper practitioner such as herself.
“Now... what? We wait for it to melt?”, his little jest almost made Diabolico choke on his own bile, but instead, Belias jumped, shouting in fear as the fiendish glowing magma of the ignited lightwhip on her hands slashed on that frozen wall, melting the ice into a smokey mist, and eating through its harsh composition at ease. Not once nor twice did she do that, as Diabolico held her staff for her, Lunafreya allowed her bitterness to come to light and permitted herself of unlocking her wrist, leaving it free and wild to lash it again, and again, and again, creating an imperfect surrealistic passage of cuts on the entrance, big enough for them to go inside and venture the dark heart of the Nexus. As she ceased her attacks, breathing heavily, shutting off her whip, melted pieces of the door fell to the ground, turning it to stone falling to the outside resembling an oddly shaped staircase, greeting its perverted artist.

Her hand went straight to the staff, taking it back from her minion’s hand, Lunafreya took a moment to tune her silky beautiful silver golden hair back in its place. With the back of her free hand, she cleaned the sweat from the back of her head and placed the hood of her robes back in her head, to disguise who she was, and walking tall, just like her father had prophecized, Lunafreya entered the fruit of her ambition and prattled proudly.
"Destiny is All." Only to find that her rendezvous with fortune was not alone.

Ingrid reacted instinctively, and usually such an attack requires a hand outstretched as well. Now, however, she apparently calculated herself. She only realized this when she got quite close again and wanted to hit the other woman. Thus the flames and heat could be felt again. She already knew she would have had to wait a few, a few weeks for the enviroweave to go into mass production, because then it could have been added to the armour, it would have been much better protected from environmental influences than fire or frost.

She didn't scream in pain, at least not loudly. She had learned as a child that she could not give voice to her pain. Previously, when she couldn’t pay attention to it, control it, it burst out of it once or twice in the form of a Force Scream. Now she has been able to handle all of this ever since and it couldn’t have happened by accident anymore. At least as far as she knew at the moment. She was screaming at the pain now because she couldn't completely suppress it, but it didn't happen out loud. The woman should have turned off her pain receptors.

She just screamed in thought and was glad that AMCO AMCO had not come to the planet. The Force-bond between the two of them was already stubborn on Dantooine, and she felt much better about what happened to the man. Here, near the Nexus, who knows how they would have reacted. The woman didn’t want to overload her own body or her ability to regenerate, so the next moment she teleported again without trying to cut or kill the woman. Farther from flames and heat.

Now she was a good few metres away from the other woman, her whole body throbbing with pain, her body full of more severe burns under her armour. It would take a few minutes to cool down and hopefully she wouldn’t find any more hits until then, because she felt that if she didn’t have regeneration, she would probably be dying already. Now, however, she also had to pay attention to the fact that more and more people were entering the building and not all of them were their own. She also had to get there near the Nexus. Even closer.

She didn't want to run away, but she also had to do her job, so tried to cheat a woman inside the building as if she was just backing away and getting away from her.
