Krux's eyes turned to saucers upon hearing what Master Roberts' Padawan thought he was going to do. Is this fool serious?! He think he can take this thing ALONE?

Krux was seconds from lashing out at his fellow student with words as sharp as swords, but Connor was quicker. Probably for the best. Krux wouldn't have been so soft on him. "Cocky little son of a-..." he found himself muttering, before taking a deep breath. His exhale gave off a low, dark growl. "Sorry...i'm okay" he then muttered in Connor's direction, knowing he heard his cursing.

Krux continued to hold his lightsaber at the ready, purging the anger in his heart that [member="Cloudburner"] had resurfaced with his arrogance, reminiscent of the Sith he used to fight with. His eyes locked onto [member="Dredge"], remembering the actual goal of this awkward standoff.

Then, the sound of snapping bones made him wince and his heart sink. He scowled at the Sith, about to make a move until the hotheaded padawan did first. "C-careful, dammit, don't get reckless!" he shouted at [member="Cloudburner"].

Krux took a few steps toward the towering Sith, "We don't negotiate with Sith. You will have none of us!" he shouted, extending a hand at hi . Using a Force Grip, Krux attempted to rip the Sith's leg out from under him and trip him up.

She could hear the explosion on the temple, and the building was starting to collapse she said to herself, What has that pudding done, she will anger the spirits in this place, especially mister V. Mister V was vodka, one of the trainers favorite tipples and that n laughing matter. She ran out looking for means to escape the building, before it completely fell. She would soon be in the open, and have to face the Jedi scum. She was looking forward to it, as she came out she saw acolytes fighting padawans, and other fighting the monsters that had been unleashed by them. She smiled broadly as one of the padawans came close to her, she looked him in the eyes and began to hurt him. As he turned hi head away from hers, she lopped his off with both her lightsabers. Then she saw another in the distance [member="Cloudburner"], she was going to get him....

A cold shiver ran up inside Connor’s body at the sound and sight of the dead girl being discarded, but even more at the reckless action of Cloudburner. He wasn’t thinking, and was going to get himself killed expelling so much energy so soon.

He threw a glance to Krux to get his attention and then nodded to the Sith for him to cover his back, and he ran to the Padawan with accentuated speed and grabbed his by the lapels to drag him to the side. Connor bore his eyes into Cloudburner’s.

”Cloudburner you are going to get yourself KILLED. Go with Krux and find that Padawan and save her! He wants you to die here but I won’t let it when you can save others!”

Connor let go with one hand and re-ignited his saber and pointed it towards the Sith, a hulking mess of darkness and sick pride. There was nothing left to say, and started to pull the Force from the surroundings and focused on the enemy before him – rash, volatile and eager to cause chaos.

His brow furrowed as that bubble of loathing towards what the Sith had caused him over the years started, and he cleaved the air with his lightsaber before taking staggered steps towards the Sith and bringing it down to force his hand.

”Save the others!” Connor called to Krux and Cloudburner, not sure if they would stay and fight or go and rescue.

He used the force to bring back his lightsaber, took a deep breath and sighed.

"I'll go with Krux then, Master Harrison, could I save more people if I stay here though?"

He hopped on to a speeder and followed Krux.

Harley began moving towards her prey, a young padawan. She was going to ring his neck in this fight, if she was given the chance. As she moved towards him, a lone soldier tried to stop her advance with a blaster, brave but stupid. She as he shot at her, she blocked his shot, and stared at him. He felt pain and started to advert his eyes, as he did she moved in close for the kill. She rammed her lightsaber through his chest, getting that bit closer to the padawan.

As soon as the female Sith tried to attack him with her lightsaber he quickly slipped off his speeder, but was still hanging on to it. From there he jumped onto Krux's Speeder. Before his eyes the previous speeder he was riding sped out of control and exploded hitting a nearby object.

"Rough Landing, don't you think?"

As much as it bothered Krux to have to leave Connor to face the Sith alone, he was a Jedi Master, and he trusted his judgement over his own. Krux motioned to [member="Cloudburner"] for him to come with him as he mounted a stray speeder as well.

"You better walk away from this, Connor! Cloud! C'mon, let's go find our lost padawan!" he called, relieved to see his fellow student mount up and start following him on another speeder.

"...To answer your question, Cloud, you're not saving anyone by fighting that Sith. You're only endangering yourself to the Dark Side's temptation, which is harder to resist than you might think. I know. I understand if you want to be a hero and fight the Dark Side. Your time will come. For now, we're not trying to be heroes, we're just trying to save lives." he explained loud enough to be heard over the revving engines of the speeders.

"Don't let your guard down just yet, there will be more Sith hunting us in the Valley. Especially when they realize we're on-"

That was when Cloud suddenly leapt off his speeder and onto the back of his. He turned his head around, having completely missed why he chose to do so, and looked at him like he was crazy.

"...Is something wrong with you, Cloud?"

And force his hand he did. Bringing the inferno up to block the saber the massive hulk of armor and hatred glared into the Jedi's eye and soon pieces started coming together, and the voice in the back of the warlord's head spoke to him.

"Aaaah, Master Harrison. I know this one, I believe your former self had a rather fun time torturing and beating his friend and loved one [member="Keira Ticon"] half to death. Just follow my lead, I'll get him nice and worked up." As the strain held between the two sparks flung from the Sith sword and saber and Dredge's fangs flashed from the shroud to reveal a sick smile.

"I don't believe we've met. But if I'm not mistaken we have a mutual friend. Oh Keira, her screams were delicious, the little sounds she made when my men were beating her half to death." Dredge said as he worked the blade to break the hold.

Backing away his blade held level and the biker gang of Graug began to form a circle around the two warriors, they knew better than to interfere, after all Dredge had a policy of bashing heads in and eating what came out when they bothered him.

"Did you know I was the one that turned her? That made her the monster she is now, I simply showed her the potential she had. And believe me when I say when she blew that small girl's brains onto the arena floor I took the small piece of her that died that day. And that's something you'll never be able to heal. All your power and accomplishments and you couldn't even save a sick twisted little girl." Dredge laughed a bit then struck.

"YOU FAILED HER!!" The Vong screamed out as he charged forward.

The massive blade of the inferno would come in a sweeping motion across Connor's gut meant to slice him in two. While he certainly wanted the boy he would have to make due by making their beloved hero suffer, make him feel weak, use the power of psyche to damage him.

That was the thing about Dredge, while he was a very capable fighter he never fought a battle he didn't have to. Always give an ultimatum, and if that failed psychologically torment your enemy, and if that didn't work then it was up to your skill as a warrior.

It only took a second for the headstrong Cloudburner and Krux to act as one in setting off to rescue the Padawan, but also only a second to catch sight a second later of another Sith wielding a crimson blade sending a speeder out into the wall. Now possibly two of them?

”Oh shit,” he muttered, everything seemingly escalating at once.

Connor brought his eyes back to the Sith and recoiled after the expected blade break, and the grunts soon made a perimeter around them. Thankfully, those unable to fight and who had come to Korriban without violent intent within the Sanctum used this distraction as a chance to do the right thing – run.

And then, the monster had to bring [member="Keira Ticon"] to the table – boy, she was more of a mystery to Connor than he knew himself.

However, oddly enough, there was a mental haze forming to shut off the Sith’s words. Words he had heard before against those he was close to – Matsu Xiangu had done it, then Chastity Lunelle, then Taeli Raaf, now Keira.

But the girl who had held his hand that morning, who had broken his rib, who had comforted him and scorned him equally was helping save him. THAT was Keira, not the girl he didn’t know before. Without the Sith doing what he had, Keira would never be the rough diamond that she was now, and Connor knew she was on the verge of being something great…

The Sith’s face contorted, snarled and his voice boomed as he lunged. Connor smiled as he kept his mental state attuned to the here and now, and let Keira empower him. With the violent swing, Connor arched himself and bent backwards to avoid it, before letting the Sith follow through.

With that, the hilt moving to his left hand, Connor brought his clenched fist down hard to connect with the Sith’s face, and if that hit would push out with the same hand to conduct a burst of wild green Electric Judgement against the monster, face firm and set like steel with nothing but determination, resolve and inner strength.

Harley saw the young padawan jump speeder bike, she shouted at the two running off [member="Krux Mullarus"] and [member="Cloudburner"], COME BACK AND FIGHT YOU COWARDS! What was the point of a vast hoard of Jedi impinging on her study time, and giving her that welcome distraction she craves, if they will not fight her. She then saw a truly lovely creature [member="Dredge"], he was dark vong and it was so wrong. She even made that rhythm in her head, as she pressed calling the two padawan every name under the sun, even called jack. She deiced if them cowards did not want to fight her, she find some else to fight. She head towaards dredge and some sort caped wonder ether way she was going to have her fight.

COME BACK AND FIGHT YOU COWARDS!, Krux heard be shouted behind him. He turned his head around and saw the woman standing, beckoning to himself and Cloud. Find the Padawan, he heard Connor's words echo in his head, but they couldn't do that with a Sith on their tail...

Krux stopped the speeder, "Cloud...get everyone out of the Valley and find the Padawan. I'll...keep this sith lady busy. Please, help them, don't help me. Okay? I have more experience with this kind of thing. I'll be okay. Just go find the girl...alright?" he practically begged the headstrong padawan, letting him take the speeder bike.

Whichever choice he'd make, Krux would take his lightsaber in hand again and approach [member="Harley"], "Another puppet who hasn't seen the strings attatched to her body here to try and entangle the Jedi in her uncontrollable anger. Here I am." he said to her, igniting his lightsaber, "Do your worst, then. I'm no pushover." he said, softer this time. There was no anger in his voice, nor his heart. He exhaled, staying focused, keeping passion out of his mind. His indigo gaze met [member="Harley"]'s. He was ready.

There is no chaos, there is harmony...even in battle...even on Korriban. Even in the midst of a war on Hell itself.

 

[Nima Tann]

3/20

This whole thing, the expedition, the dark presence of the Korriban, the dizziness... It all stopped being the center of attention for Nima after hearing such voice calling her towards somewhere in the tombs as she continued walking with the rest of the group towards the Great Temple, which was a big tomb for several Sith Lords, whose names were not that popular to be put into a special tombs like the ones they passed. The Temple, was awfully quiet. Or, the spirits were hiding around, and watching the unwanted visitors, curious about what they were doing here. This whole thing might be spirits trying to influence her mind and trick her, weaken her defences, which was a Sith thing to do. Yet something told her it wasn't the case, a feeling of nostalgia, a feeling of... she recognized the voice from somewhere. She didn't know where the voice came from, or who it belonged to, but it was somewhat... relaxing. Somewhat making her want to find out what was happening. She wasn't needed for something else, and looking around like a tourist wasn't helpful for her to understand too. She decided to listen to the voice, and see what this thing was all about. She reached out to the spirits of the tomb, one by one, she listened to their voices, their whispers, their sad stories. The voice she was looking for wasn't there. But then... there was a sharp pain at the back of her head, like something was trying to reach out to her as well. Could it be?...

"You can hear me..." It was the same voice, that she has heard before coming here, she was slightly surprised that the voice seemed... happy? Another headache, this time hitting harder. "Find me." She held her forehead quickly and started to squeeze it, massaging for the headache to disappear. What was happening here? "Who are you?" She asked, telephatically. There was no answer for a second... The voice got completely silent, as if it was disappointed. But then, the voice came back, and the cheerful tone was as well. "Let's play a game."

Let's play a game...

A flashing image came upon her mind...

"I'll hide somewhere, and you will try to find me."

Another flashing image of a shadow, which looked like Nima herself... She wasn't sure why, but she was smiling...

"A game of hot and cold, whenever you are close finding me, I'll say warmer. And whenever you are far, I'll say colder."

Another image... There was someone else.

What was this spirit trying to do, explaining things like she was a little child?

And why it felt natural... so natural that she was almost like a little child getting excited to play the game.

"I don't want to play your games, spirit. Face me now." She said, shaking her head thinking it was tricking her... It was probably tricking her, right? Using one of the voices she heard before, to confuse her and then invade her head. It was a Sith thing to do, right? No... there has to be something else here... It wasn't something that she could fall easily. She has been dealing with the voices for entire of her life now to understand which was fake and which was real. The voice got silent yet again after hearing Nima's cold response. She took a deep breath to cool down a bit. Maybe the voice stopped trying?... No, it was still around, she could still feel the influence moving around. And as she expected, the voice could be heard in her head again, with the same tone, with the same familiarity.

"You are very cold."

With the same... happiness.

At such a close range Dredge didn't have much room to dodge a punch to the face, the man was up close and personal and while he could of blocked a saber strike with the distance it took to use the blade however this was a punch that would connect. But while it was a hand striking alchemized metal and it was bound to hurt Connor some it still rocked the monster's head to the point where even the National Smashball League would of cleared him to play.

However as instinct took over the Warlord backed up slightly and quickly enough to feel the surging of power between himself and his opponent, the Jedi had drawn in energy and fired off close range electric judgment. Using the Inferno the Sith blade sucked in the lightning and Dredge grinned as he took a large step back and spun around in a move that almost too much finesse even for him.

With that spin the tip of the blade at about a meter or so away from Connor leveled at the Jedi Master and what came out wasn't the pure light side power of judgment, it was instead twisted by the darkside nexus within the blade and pure dark side electricity shot back out at Connor. Dredge took something powerful and for the use of good and twisted it to use against he who had created.

"I WILL END YOU JEDI!!" Dredge roared as the lightning surged out from the blade with furious anger.

Elsewhere it was about to very dark for [member="Cloudburner"] and his attempt to rescue the Jedi padawan and other personnel, the biker gang did as ordered and returned to the crypt. A crypt fueled and tainted with the darkside of the force, a small and dim lone light within an ocean of hatred and darkness. The Graug of course now without the supervision of Dredge would revert to their base nature and a few would fight over who got to eat the hostages first and that Dredge wouldn't care if they were a few minutes early to dig in. Others patrolled the mouth of the cave and were simply trying to make sure they weren't the ones being executed by Dredge for failure.

Duels
[member="Dredge"] vs [member="Connor Harrison"]
[member="Krux Mullarus"] vs [member="Harley"]
[member="Cloudburner"] vs Graug Tomb

Roberts stepped off the shuttle as the last of the science teams boarded for evacuation. Dredge's Graug had hit the base hard and the retreat had been called. Alas, Connor had made it known that air support was scant today. So... No orbital bombardments. *sadness*

"Oh. I see everyone's rearranged themselves. Interesting?"

Connor was engaging the Warlord. Krux wanted Harley. And, her Apprentice seemed to be chasing hostages near a Graug Tomb. Well... That was something.

"Guess I'll run the soldiers then. No biggie."

Karen pulled up her com and began requesting orders with Ranger Commanders. They were to shut down the Graug raiding parties and offer her Apprentice assistance with hostage recovery. Naturally, she requested gunship support and light armored vehicles as well. Karen was all about big guns, after all. Nothing like a heavy repeating laser cannon to really give Korriban the edge. Yum!

"Good. Now that the Rangers are organized according to threat level? I suppose I'll give Master Harrison an assist. ...Hm?"

Roberts turned and stomped off towards Connor and the Warlord. Eager to end the fool party, once and for all.

...

Karen stopped at about 30 meters to the duel. She bowed her head and extended a gloved hand. Channeling a meditation of power and focus towards Conner. Boosting Conner's powers magnificently via the Force.

In the middle of finishing off another abomination, Dune got the message on his comm. The creature slumped to the ground, dead and broken then the Bith looked over to his large companion. Gwrtheryn had begun to pursue the near-human Dark Sider when Dune shouted "There's no time, out of the Academy, now!" He suited his own words by making his way to the entrance.

He saw the shades grow out of the floor and felt their cold malevolence in the Force. These things, perhaps souls of failed Acolytes, were bound to this place by some evil sorcery. Though they were of dark mist in aspect, their ancient war blades struck true. Several were felled and even the Firemane was seized by one.

For his part, Dune was suddenly surrounded. His first instinct proved correct as he lashed out with telekinetic waves. Though unaware, his lightsaber wouldn't have done anything. The shades were obliterated, shrieking like glaciers grinding before the Force.

The giant apprentice and he made it with seconds to spare. As he turned back to witness the destruction, he wasn't certain if the same could be said for Siobhan Kerrigan. His instinct was to go back for her, but debris rained down from the catastrophic explosion. Reaching through the Force told him nothing. Too many being too close together made it inconclusive.

She almost laughed as started recite the Jedi code, but he began to stair at her. She decide to stare back using the force, she going to inflicted pain on him through her eyes. As she did she began to close the gap, running straight towards him. She was getting ready so if turned his head, she would take his. She also recited the Jedi code, just to annoy him.

There is no Emotion, there is Peace
There is no Ignorance, there is Knowledge
There is no Passion, there is Serenity
There is no Chaos, there is Harmony
There is no Death, there is The Force

She said as to mock him, as to her even the sith code was nothing more than words to her. It was something she said, so who ever taught her did not get angry at her.

The blonde darksider turned to Krux and began trudging toward him as he did to her. For some reason, she started chanting the Jedi Code like it was supposed to bother him, even though he hadn't spoke a word of it to her, he had simply recited it in his head. In a way, it did bother him. This is what he used to be. He used to mock the Jedi with how flawed he thought their code was, before he actually got to know a lot of Jedi. He was this obnoxious to them, and now he felt embarassed. He'd have to apologize to Ella, Nubica, and Connor another time for being so close-minded as a Sith, even though he felt he knew so much then. For now, his only goal was to keep this...odd darksider in battle here so she didn't pursue [member="Cloudburner"] into the tombs to rescue the lost Sanctum people who didn't deserve to be thrown into this battle that had ensued in the Valley of the Dark Lords.

"Force help me, i'm about to wish some great harm upon her big, fat mouth..."

Finally, Krux leapt through the air and closed the distance between himself and his opponent, performing a flip in the air to add momentum to the heavy downward swing he was bringing down upon the blonde. His steel-blue-colored lightsaber lighting up the darkness around them, and the unstable-looking core of the blade sparking and shimmering with barely-controlled power coarsing through the jedi's tool. His eyes dilated as he soared through the dusty air. Peace is not a lie, it just takes thousands of hardened warriors not afraid to march into battle to fight to the death for it!

She continued her force stare at him as she got closer, and closer. She was hoping the pain from her new force power would hurt him, she was trying to inflict pain on him through the force, through her eyes. Though something in she saw in his mind was slightly intoxicating, it was all most like he was enjoying the idea of attacking her. That was something that excited her when it was a Jedi who thought it. She grinned with excitement as she got closer, and she ready herself to lock blades with this padawan. he waited for him to make the first move with his lightsabe, not wanting to break eye contact with her stare. As if e moved his head, she would have chance to lop it off. Then she would mount it on a spike, yes a really big spike.

Cloudburner rushed into the tombs to find the civilian people who had been affected by this invasion. He ignited his Lightsaber, and carried it through the darkness. He kept quiet in the case of any Graug Sith finding his location and hunting him when he least expected it.

"Don't hurt us!"

A voice yelled into the distance. Cloudburner was getting closer and closer to the innocent Silver Sanctum members.

"Don't worry! I won't. I'm a Jedi from the Silver Sanctum. I'm here to save you!"

He saw a black figure. This was no human, but a graug. He had spent time researching these creatures in the Jedi Archives, and he knew they were no joke. He crouched down and scurried into a hole in the wall nearby him.

"The irony! A tomb meant for burying the dead will soon be the resting place of the Jedi! Where are you?"

As soon as the figure walked past, he pulled himself back upon his feet and continued to search for the survivors. He found a hole in the wall after walking further into the tomb. Then he noticed a blood trail starting from this hole in the wall.

He knelt down and examined the blood.

"Fresh. This blood hasn't been here for no longer than an hour."

He walked further on into the massive hole in the wall. That is when he found about 6 members of the Silver Sanctum Coalition, and only half of them were alive. They cried as their tears fell to the floor in pain. Cloudburner almost let out a tear.

"Is.... Is.... Is... this the work of the Sith and the Graugs?"
"Please. Don't kill me!"
"I'm a Jedi. I'm here to rescue you, not kill you."

He helped them back onto their feet while he carried one of the injured members on his shoulder.

"We need to get out of this tomb, it's looks like it could collapse any second now."

The tomb was cracking, rumbling, breaking. They needed to get out quick, before the tomb collapsed.

Sumiko had been poking around in the Valley of Dark Lords and studying a collapsed obelisk from the Adas era, when suddenly she heard a massive explosion, then saw plumes of smoke rise up into the air.


Wincing just a bit, she turned and beheld the distant ruins of the Sith Academy. The former Inquisitor shook her head slightly. I suppose it's impossible for Kerrigan not to waltz in and raze a building, she thought to herself. Anyhow, she a few more hieroglyphs to translate. Perhaps also a zombie or two to summon since there were so many ambient Dark Side energies.


Further away, Jedi, Vong and Sith were fighting. How drool.
