Some Holiday, Am I Right? (Silver Jedi Dominion of Vaynai)

[Matsu Ike]

[member="Shalla Horizonis"] [member="Rasu Gan"] @Conner Harrison

Now they were here and moving her hands came up, less focus on the saber and Matsu looked to where things were happening. Moving to stand back to back with Shalla and Conner while she spoke to Rasu. "There are a few things a shi'ido's tricks could do to help Master Gan." Though she had a smirk to it all while moving with her body going circular, she had been working on the techniques with Jeela. Letting her one hand and saber hand be held out while she moved to dodge and move herself behind. Resting a hand on the back of the mans spine and moving with him to maintain control while she focused.

Letting the circles build strength before she struck him in the side of the head to knock him down to the ground. She was more listening to the force while she moved, it was what she always did and shifted from air to water as her body stood still letting her arms move with the motions of the tide to push and pull. She was reaching into them expanding and contracting while she pulled at the weapons of enemy soldiers before pushing them back. A smirk on her face more while allowing the energies to come to her.

 

[Marek S'hadar]

[member="Rasu Gan"]


Marek smiled into the kiss and embraced Rasu gently, careful not to overexert pressure. "A swim sounds fantastic, lets just hope there's nothing nasty in the water. Or is that to much to ask?" He questioned jokingly, looking into Rasu's eyes happily. She kept him content amidst all this chaos, kept him anchored in the light. But she couldn't keep him anchored where they were heading, into war. He'd let loose.

Breaking the embrace he smirked before donning his helmet once more, his eyes soft and kind behind the cold and cruel visor. This was one piece of the monster that had to remain so the rest wouldn't return. With more and more Jedi falling into darkness he wasn't going to take any chances, he'd been down in darkness once, he wouldn't make that mistake ever again.

It was time. Without hesitation the armored Jedi leapt from the shuttle and dove for the sea. As he landed, ocean enveloped him. Even through the body suit the cold was stunning. It took him a few seconds to regain his senses before he swam up, his ears being flooded with the sounds of war.

"So dear, what do you have planned for our lovely swim?" He joked, looking over to Rasu curiously as he treaded water. "So picking the date location next time." He muttered to himself quietly as a swell forced him back under the waves for a moment, forcing some of the water into his helmet and exposing it to the stinging cold wetness.

 

[Rasu Gan]

Rasu continued to swim away, pleased to know that Connor would be carrying out orders that would lead their forces well. She had only smiled as Matsu let out her own opinion, but that was hers to keep. Rasu had to journey away from their soldiers, she would be faster alone. However as she felt the familiar presence of her old master draw closer, Rasu could not help but smile, and this grin only widened after his remark.

"Oh I thought maybe we might go to a secluded island perhaps? Who knows might run into some natives?" she said, diving under the water to avoid a wave. "Trust me, I'd be more than willing if you pick the locations from now on." Closing her mouth around the breather, she dived, calling on the Force to propel her forward with powerful enhanced kicks. She traversed the ocean with ease, slowly honing in on the Dellatian with [member="Marek S'hadar"] beside her the entire time. Slowly she rose, finding that the pair had reached as far as they could under the surface. A small popping sound escaped her ears, as she submerged, quickly scanning the horizon, until a clump of land came into view. We're on our way Gurbot, she thought, swinging one arm over her head as she prepared to swim again, with her target insight.

However she froze, holding out her hand to steady Marek's movements as well. A soft whirring sound grew, surrounding Rasu, leaving her unsure of its origin. "Quickly get under." she hissed, easing her alarm as she forced her body back into the water. The alien sound continued to grow in volume, despite the muffling of the waters around. It wasn't until the silhouettes of the multiple vehicles passed over them, that Rasu realised what they were, and why the filled her with dread. Rising above the water again, Rasu was met by the hair-raising sound of rapid blaster fire. Turning towards the island, the source of the young Dellatian, [member="Gurbot Luk"], Rasu broke into a fast swim, her arms flailing as she hurried to the fodder of the airship's laser cannons. Not waiting for Marek, she quickly stretched out through the Force, brushing over Gurbot's conscious, and making him aware of their arrival. Help was indeed on the way.

 

[Connor Harrison]

“Shalla, stick by me and let the Force heighten your senses as best you can – the greatest weapon you have in your control now is your own body. Sight, hearing, smell, touch – use them all to be aware of the dangers around you, those you can see and those you can’t.”

Conner knelt beside young [member="Shalla Horizonis"], her face focused with steely determination and they were behind a mound of twisted metal and stone, looking like a caved in outpost burning and smoking from a direct hit by the invading forces of the Silver Jedi. A trooper knelt beside him spoke loudly behind his protective visor, enforcing his faceless, fearsome image as a solider of righteousness.

”Master Harrison, Master Heavenshield is up ahead. Heavy artillery is staying behind to cover our advance against the stragglers still moving down towards us.”

Nodding to his update, Connor peered over the top of their makeshift cover and sure enough upfront with the gleaming azure blade was [member="Thurion Heavenshield"], leading the charge as only he could. He turned to the soldier.

”Stick with me and keep your eyes open soldier – I will protect you as best I can against the unseen enemy. Let’s give ‘em hell.”

A missile whistled dangerously closer overheard, spinning out of control and impacting in the water behind them, spewing up a fountain of water and dirt, shaking the ground around the forces. Connor vaulted over the outpost and they advanced again. Sidestepping around a small crater, Connor deftly used his lightsaber to deflect the blaster fire aimed at him from the bunkers dotted around the beach that had evaded the first wave and waited to slaughter the reinforcements. Using the Force, he enhanced a leap forward towards a crater housing a heavy blaster turret and, as he came to land, pushed out with the Force as an extension of his strength and slammed down into the crater itself, sending a small shockwave out and crippling the blaster and sending the two mercenaries up and over into the path of the soldiers who quickly ended their hostility.

Picking himself up, Connor scrambled out of the crater and turned to see the impressive sight of the troops and Shalla still behind him; dodging blaster fire and standing strong against the impact of explosions.

Connor passed by a fallen solider, his armour cracked and smouldering. Kneeling down to check for a sign of life, there was nothing. A vacant expression on the dead man’s face stared at Connor. Patting the solider softly on the chest, the Jedi didn’t let his emotion hinder him and watched two troopers steadily walk by, crouched down and firing towards a pocket of hostiles emerging from a camouflaged sand dune towards the right. They were certainly crafty, that was for sure.

Two gunships passed by overhead and soon put a grizzly end to their hidden sand dune. Connor smiled. The enemy was crafty, but the forces of good were just as crafty in retaliation.

[Shalla Horizonis]

Turning to remember all her training she had already. Feel like herself now having to think more then act. After drawling on more of force to boost herself up. Looking at [member="Connor Harrison"] giving him a nod only to feel the closeness danger with her sense. Coming to feel that she was ready to move on as she would follow as she let herself with the training saber up.

Letting her heartbeat come up. As she let herself go from cover to cover still behind Connor feeling everything more in tune with all around her. Looking to their right. Coming to know what she need to do as she raised her hand against the water as she could see that where they where shoot bared in at near the water. With out thinking she just did. Letting her teaching of how to use the water and the force to work together. Finding herself sending a wave to wiped them out to see. Only to feel the life go out wanting to drop to her knees right now doing what task to do.

Stepping up to him to cover her head in protection as she once again started to deflect. lazer around them knowing that now they had a new goal. Taking out the jedi. Feeling herself raising her hand up again this time to kick up some sand so it would now be harder to see them. For a split second to give them time to move again. " Connor, ready when you are giving one last push to kick around some of the sand really just the basic force skill of pushing.
Moving with him more as she would slide to a stop only to feel the ground shake before them and give way feeling her slip down in. After all come to the rest, calling upwards. "I'm okay, Sir.", as she jump to get only to fall short. "Get some cover, your more important then me, sir.", seeing a couple of bodies with her one there and the other the mercury.

Coming to life looking at her with wild eyes to snored, "Aren't you a pretty, come her sweetheart.", going back against the crater. After which time coming out of his side was a bladed knife. "I told you to get her or I'll gut you.", after which time just found her trainer saber calling it to her hand. It being on with a humming. His eyes went wide as she called a dirty jedi, sithspawn. All she could do was wait until something happen maybe this was her test. Freezing up was her now every bone of her body frozen in fear. Shaking that thought she wasn't to have fear. As she let herself go deep in the force hearing from the guy once again. Oh a softly you don't have it in you. shaking her head "Your wrong," as he went for the lunge she cut off his hand but he didn't back way but after why wouldn't he just stop he was out done. As she felt it cut through him again. His lifeless body laid in the sand. Coming to see herself against the crater wide eye in horror. Shaking that she had kill her first one. It wasn't something she would get out of her mind anytime soon.

Feeling that she was being gentle lifted upward. To come face to face with Connor her face would say it all. "I...I...i...we...we...weee...wweee... need to push on help your friend up there.", here eyes darting not to look him in the eyes. [member="Connor Harrison"]

 

[Connor Harrison]

Connor drop-kicked the snarling enemy who was readying his weapon to take another shot at the Rogue Jedi. Always a bad move – did they learn nothing? A sly grin crept over his face as he picked himself up from the sand below. As he turned, he saw the art of [member="Matsu Ike"] using the Force deftly to dispose of the enemy soldiers as if they were nothing but dust in the wind. It was an awesome display.

Another drop ship swooped low overhead, spitting out black smoke and fire from the wing as it retreated over the waters, hopefully able to climb upwards – it exploded in a grizzly fireball, dropping flaming debris and bodies into the water below. Connor winced as the pain was amplified in his head due to focusing on the ship. There really were no winners in a war. He just hoped [member="Rasu Gan"] and the masked man [member="Marek S'hadar"] was safe after their diversion, not to mention the others on the ground and in the air.

Starting to run on making good, steady progress and counting minimal casualties, bar two dead whom had fallen, the soldiers were working in unison which was good to see. Master @Thurion Heavensheild was up ahead. Connor’s damp clothing, peppered with earth and sand was quickly drying, black hair matted to his brow and quickly looking unkempt.

Seeing [member="Shalla Horizonis"] move in a blur of motion cutting down a hostile, he crouched and moved over to her, placing a firm hand on her shoulder to snap her out of the dizzying vortex of emotion threatening to swallow her up after, presumably, her first kill.

”Padawan – focus. Do not let your emotion get the better of you, not yet. There will be time to reflect and support each other, but only AFTER this liberation is over and we are successful. You did the right thing, otherwise you would be dead, and I would be very upset! Now, come, hold your nerve and keep your head down but your spirit up and let’s get up to the rendezvous together!”

He turned and arched his lightsaber forward to the troops behind him.

”Keep pushing men – this day will be yours!”

[Shalla Horizonis]

Her head snapped to hearing [member="Connor Harrison"] voice her pool of dark black eyes fix on his. Slowly coming out of the grips, as she shook her head slowly. "Yes, sir.", as she let herself come up with her training saber. After which time she knew that she need to push on with Connor, that she did pushing on with her. Smiling at her once more as she let herself more and more get into the heat of the battle. By pushing on knew that this nightmare would be gone sooner.

"I understand will do what I must in this battle for the freedom of these people."

Pushing and waving on on with her own saber pushing on with him this time she wanted to prove herself to block out more and more. Also, now more then every she need this. Smiling as she let go of herself as she pushed on with Knight Connor. Wouldn't let the men that was with them or him how could she do anything more then to push on.

[member="Connor Harrison"]

 

[Saki]

The fighting had really begun and Oshida started after the master, watching Saki wade into enemy soldiers without a saber and strike with distorted ripples of energy their weapons. Breaking them, twisting them or breaking a few limbs. Whatever it took not to kill them but make them stop attacking, someone had said no deaths and while a hyper violent vaapad user with blades on her gauntlets. Oshida noticed Saki was still attacking as the jedi masters energy sent pillars out of the earth, shaping wasn't something easily done but she had been touched on Empress Teta and seen things, felt things. Now her mind and body worked in union. The padawan preferring to stay back until the group was down and Saki was moving the rangers restraining them or for some with the broken limbs patching them up to restrain them.

 

[Nameless Knight]

Knight shot her head around when she felt soemthing, one of the padawans had gotten hurt and she moved. The robes shifting as she grew large wings and shot up into the air. No saber activating yet but she was focusing and searching going away from the academy that was set up. She moved through the air and came down into the fight looking at [member="Shalla Horizonis"] and [member="Connor Harrison"] as her eyes flicked around. Purple energy crackling between her finger tips while the judgement unleashed a torrent of stunning level energy from her finger tips. "Report. Where do we need support?"

 

[Nico Ike Qarmast]

[member="Rasu Gan"]

Oh this was a hell of a place and Nico moved, the snap hisses and plops of her blades as they switched between bldes and shields to wade into enemy soldiers. She didn't want to hurt but this was proving to be more fo a fight then she wanted to be involved in. Then she saw Rasu Gan and she was the closest next to [member="Sochi Ru"] to her master as someone she really trusted. Iella was busy and her work important while the jedi padawan lept up spinning as she bashed two in the face with the shields and came down. Letting her force energies flare before running into cover and sliding. "Well master this is fun."

 

[Vladimir Kirov]

As they pushed further up the beach into the enemy lines the resistance became more intense for mercenaries and pirates their opponent was quite organized, that wasn’t to say they were better prepared than the Rangers or any of the Jedi but they were certainly better than the average mercenary. Vladimir and his teams kept the pressure on while the Jedi kept taking teams of Rangers off to tackle individual targets it didn’t feel to the Hapan man as if anyone was monitoring the battlefield as a whole. Everyone seemed intent on putting out smaller fires rather than tackling the source of the blaze.

Ducking into cover as his teams kept the enemy occupied on the front Vladimir reviewed his HUD, all the scans from orbit were indicating squads of Rangers and Jedi were fractured all along the front line and the mercenaries were starting to see the same. The problem was the Rangers and Jedi were for the most part accustomed to acting as small independent units they were not used to such large engagements. They were out of position and the mercenaries were in position to punish them for it, scans already indicated they were shuffling troops towards the center of their line press their advantage there, this was going to turn sour shortly unless someone did something. This was no time to be shy, lives counted on someone stepping up.

“Attention to all forces, we have weakened our lines, the enemy is positioning itself to press down the center and split us in two.” Reading his HUD for more information identified a couple squads of Rangers nearest to the center of the line. “Ranger Squads 3 and 15, move to the center check your pads for coordinates I am forwarding you.”

Sending the coordinates to the squads he had instructed to move Vladimir looked along the flanks for their own advantage to press as the Rangers repositioned to cut off the possible mercenary advance. He noted to the left they had the advantage and if someone could get around the left flank of the mercenaries they may be forced to collapse in on themselves presenting a nice juicy target for the artillery that was just coming up onto the beach.

“Master [member="Thurion Heavenshield"] the enemy has a weak left flank, if you and Knight [member="Connor Harrison"] and your team cut a klick up the beach the scans indicate it would give you a clear run at the enemy flank, it may be enough to get them to retreat. If you would be so kind as to lead some Rangers against that flank I will arrange for a distraction to keep them busy along the front.”

Waiting for a response Vladimir glanced back at the artillery that was setting up on the beach, there was quite a bit enemy fire coming down on the men trying to get the equipment ready to return fire. Isolating the fleet frequency the Hapan man peeked over the cover he was in estimating, rather accurately with the assistance of his HUD, the range to the enemy artillery. “Fleet commander, we need a couple squads of bombers down here to take out the enemy artillery so our boys have a fighting chance to get setup.”

“Acknowledged Lieutenant, I am diverting a few squads temporarily to your command, use them as needed but I want them back in one piece.” The comm operator replied quickly obviously things in orbit were a lot easier then down on the surface. “I am patching you through to their comms now.”

“Thank you.” Vladimir replied with a smile as he ducked into cover again. “Bomber squads, the targets are marked, bring down the hammer.”

“Acknowledged Lieutenant, enjoy the fireworks.” The replied from the squadron commander came as they zipped past overhead splitting off to the enemy artillery emplacements taking ineffective small arms fire as they zoomed past it far too fast for most of the enemy to even hope to track. The enemy artillery exploded in brilliant flames distracting the enemy. A cheer came up across the Silver Jedi lines the spirit of all the Rangers bolstered by this success. This was the opportunity for them to press an advantage, Vladimir hoped the Jedi would see it, he and the Rangers on the center of the field would hold the line for now.

As the Silver Jedi dispersed to many location, Iella remained. Behind her stood an elite group of Antarian Rangers ready to move out on her command. It is time to move into the city locate the Hutt and 'negotiate'. As is her habit her checked her weapons .. her blaster, whip as always on her belt her saber now in her hand.

In the distance the city sky line rose up into the clear sky, it would not take them long to reach the outskirts and so she motioned for the move out. Ground vehicles sped past her standing position, the Rangers forming a line before splitting and heading to preplanned locations to scout for the Hutt.

Iella followed closely behind listening to the communications over the commlink. The force guided her to the main area of the city, her ground speeder, her personal speeder moved with ease through the quiet streets. A heaviness filled the air as if in anticipation of an event and this was not lost on her. She reached out through the force, sensing all life forms until she rounded a corner.

The entertainment district .. dirty and empty. She stopped the speeder and decided to go forward on foot. She pulled her cloak around her to conceal as much of her armour as possible, mainly to ease the local people. Iella moved toward a cantina, the neon lights still flashing it's name in a dirty red light. Her eyes narrowed .. her senses narrowed and she decided to moved toward the back of the building. From there she will enter.

 

[Atlas Kane]

"La sa moulee rah, murishani. Oh ho ho ho ho." A large, green and slimy figure said. The figure was sitting in a large throne-like structure at the other end of the room. Next to it was a humanoid droid. Both were looking towards a single figure in the middle of the room. The slimy, green one was a Hutt, he belonged to a smaller family that wasn't involved with any of the major Hutt families, in fact they had split from them and were managing their own little crime syndicate here on Vaynai.

"The great Bariho the Hutt says: Here is your payment." The automated voice of the droid was unusual. It was more distorted and sounded less refined. It was as if the Hutt had bought it on purpose, just to further solidify the fact he was a criminal and not your average employer, which would be obvious, since the Hutts were not really found doing anything legal to begin with. Of course, there was Popo, the new Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, but he was a single exception and not many have been seen in such positions around the galaxy.

"But that's only five thousand credits. You promised me at least twenty-five thousand." The figure in the middle said. His voice slightly resembled that of a droid, but that was because of the helmet the man was wearing. It was a slightly modified version of a typical Mandalorian T-shaped visor helmet. The rest of his body was covered in a body-suit and multiple plates that covered vital parts of the body. On the back he had a large rifle, a scattergun and a beskad. His belt carried a couple spherical objects as well as two smaller blasters, a couple ammo packs and small knives. "Now where are the other twenty thousand?"

"Da sa do moulee rah. Oh ho ho ho." The slimy, large blob said. The deep booming laughter afterwards making the Mandalorian in the middle of the room immediately know what the droid would be saying next. It would only be a matter of seconds now until the droid would speak, but the Mandalorian didn't intend to let the droid speak. He ran through all the possibilities he had to take down the Hutt and the large group of mercenaries and Bounty Hunters in the room without getting killed himself.

[Rasu Gan]

With Force-propelled kicks pushing her through the water, Rasu didn't even react as wave upon wave was thrown upon her, forcing the Shi'ido down into the depths. Her gaze remained fixed forward, watching in grim bitterness as blaster fire was sent down upon the island that [member="Gurbot Luk"] had occupied with whatever resistance he had scrounged together. Her heart raced, caught up in the heat of the upcoming fight, as her hands already flew to her lightsabers, activating them under the water so that their green and gold brilliance wavered as cold and hot mixed.

Rasu counted six gunships altogether, all probably provisioned with perhaps ten to twenty ground troops, reinforcements for whatever forces the Hutts had already placed upon the small island. Kicking with even more determination, Rasu edged closer to the nearest ship, looking back to see where [member="Marek S'hadar"] may have gotten too. Choosing to focus on her target, Rasu turned again, proceeding to her main concern. Leaping from the water, Rasu bounced off a rising sandbank, and called upon the Force to aid her jump. A loud clang echoed as the Shi'ido landed on the hard metal that lined the first gunship, her feet sliding under the slippery surface that now laced the ship from her drenched clothing. Regaining some footing, Rasu plunged her blades into the hull of the craft, slicing a sizable gash in the craft before leaping through the crevice she had made.

Before Rasu had time to even bring up her blade, blaster fire was upon her. Opening herself to the Force, Rasu's body performed athletic twist and turns, as the deadly laser beams arced past her, coming so close to her green limbs that her skin prickled as a result. Finding a break in the onslaught, the Shi'ido leaped into action, swing and curving her twin blades in artistic flurries, her weapons digging hungrily into the metal and plastics of the weaponry of her own attackers. By the time Rasu had passed them, all that remained were melted hunks of junk, with the wielders maintaining a look of utter confusion and disbelief as they stared at their empty hands. Darting into the cockpit, Rasu flung the pilot out of the cabin using the Force, before seating herself in front of the controls. Bringing her inactive sabers back to her hips, Rasu stretched out her palms, as they began to hover over the panel in front of her. Time to get to work, she thought as she turned the ships weaponry to aim at the enemy crafts.

 

[Rasu Gan]

The gunship exploded as soon as the cannon's energy bolts made contact with the rear engines of the craft. Rasu's heart drooped as she felt the lives of all those beings aboard, suddenly be whiffed out like a flame. It had been necessary for the greater good of the planet's true inhabitants. She had reminded herself of this ever since the events following Lujo. Even years after her confrontation with the Yuuzhan Vong Overlord, the massacre she had ordered still haunted her decisions in the present. She imagined that Dredge would be laughing as he watched her react now, gloating as she faltered in her resolve. This is what he had wanted of her, and she had fallen for it many a time, but today on Vaynai, she would not fall prey to the Vong's words.

Blaster fire again erupted from her weaponry, spraying deadly bolts of energy across the horizon, seeking only those that would do her allies harm. Maintaining her disguise, Rasu was able to take down two other gunships under the garb of the enemy gunship, their metal carcasses crashing into the sparkling oceans of Vaynai, quickly putting out the flames before the vehicles exploding, spraying metal and other parts of machinery across the sand bank. With another enemy put out of commission, Rasu began to see an end to fighting, turning towards the next gunship. To her surprise and dread, she found it's own cannons directed at her, now aware of the ruse, as it opened fire. With the element of surprise now eliminated, Rasu leaped from her seat, escaping through the gap in the viewport with which she had thrown the previous pilot out of.

Landing roughly on the beach, Rasu's back was scorched with the immense heat erupting from the destroyed gunship. Jumping in fright slightly as the craft burst and ripped apart as it crashed onto the planet surface only mere meters behind her. The sound of cannon fire caused the Shi'ido to break out into a run once more, sprinting for cover from her much larger enemies weaponry. How the tables had been turned.

[Thurion Heavenshield]

Once the two bunkers had been cleared, Thurion's comm-link took an incoming call. It was [member="Vladimir Kirov"], and his words were wise. Making their way to his position were [member="Connor Harrison"] and his men, along with [member="Shalla Horizonis"] at his heels. "Connor! You're a welcome sight for sore eyes!" he called out to him as they approached. "Did you receive the message from Kirov? We need to flank the enemy while his men are occupied with taking the brunt of the counter-attack. We'll go together as one unit - Shalla, you stick to Connor, he'll keep you safe. Everyone, form up!" The Rangers gathered on his position and formed a wedge with which they would sweep in from the left.

"Stay together and fight as one! Move out!" he commanded as he sounded the charge with lightsaber held aloft. Over rubble and through smoke they went, hitting the enemy on the left flank where they were exposed, hopefully drawing some attention away from the others. For every Ranger that fell, two Hutt soldiers joined them.

 

[Connor Harrison]

"Master Heavenshield, just lead the way and save some for the rest of us!" Connor shouted to the comfroting sight of his friend and fellow warrior.

The units converged to one strong sweeping arm of lightsaber blades and blaster rifles, their movement strong and with purpose. Connor made sure to keep [member="Shalla Horizonis"] by his side, back slightly away from the line of fire from the Hutt soldiers. He stood beside [member="Knight"], informing that their support was now to converge as one and move forward in a strong attack formation. [member="Vladimir Kirov"] was certainly on top of things with his attack, and Connor felt the Silver Jedi were indestructable.

He stepped over a fallen enemy, and his blade swept down to repel a stray bolt from beyond a pile of rock. He turned and indicated with his hand in a sharp fist motion to the soldiers behind him, and at once they directed fire to the hidden hostile, cutting him up along with the rock defense he was hiding behind.

A nod of appreciation was all Connor could do. They were making firm progress, and the units supporting the Silver Jedi were becoming invaluable.

Another trail of fire and smoke plumed out of the sky as a transport went down, and bodies seemed to fall from the sky ahead onto the beach. There was a great pain coming from the Force with the fallen ship, and Connor stopped mid-stride, seeking ahead for something he couldn't quite see, but something he felt. He ran forward and shouted towards Thurion, leading the way.

"Thurion - wait...there's danger ahead. One of our own is in mortal peril - over there." Indicating to the right with his head, there was something not quite right with the state of play from the enemy.

[Shalla Horizonis]

All she could do was not speak a word but push on what need to be done. Even so she had those feeling inside of her not able to shake off that first kill she had every do the way the eyes looked when the last breath took place. Covering her own head as she felt something coming over her head only to see that the bolt was deflected way. Beating of her own heart quicken up for a slit second before she got herself together for this wall to work. She had to push on something wasn't right but what was it. Couldn't here anything from her sister not even a echo coming from her now. Why wasn't there anything from her bond that they had between them.

Then feeling it coming from [member="Connor Harrison"] stop her also right behind him. "What is it", as she let her concern about her sister be put to the back of her mind. After which time she couldn't help herself but to have another feeling this time bring her to her knees only to grab at Connor to stop her from coming all the way down. My sister ...." , just what about her sister she didn't know of yet but only time would tell why she had this feeling. After which time she could only stand up. In time to put off what looked to be snipper shot coming from somewhere a head of them. "Up high, Thurion,"

[member="Cabur Aranar"]

The filth of the alley piled up along the walls, on a narrow pathway for Iella to walk and the stench was almost unbearable. Rotting food and other such garbage turned her stomach, she never did have a strong constitution when it comes to such things. Small rodents scurried about the rubbish, delighting in the 'treasures' and protested at her for her intrusion and threaten her if she so much as view their treasure with avarice intent. She her raised only slightly as Iella used her ability of animal friendship, to assure the rodents she meant no ill or wanting for their food.

The back door to the cantina secured, a control panel the only mean to pass well... for most. Sensing no life form on the other side, she ignited her white blade and plunged it into the metal door. Practiced hands soon cut a hole through it and using telekinesis she lifted the cut panel out toward her and rest it against the wall. She wanted her presence to be quiet as possible.

Stepping through the corridor, and making her way toward the main area of the cantina, she stopped at a side arch way that would lead into the main room. She could hear voices, a Hutt .. this translator and another, well an artificially manipulated one. She listened to the negotiations .. not really concerned with that so much as the patrons within. As the atmosphere changed in the blink of an eye, her sense alerting her to the immediate threat. Iella extinguished her blade, only to quieten the blade and alert others to her position .. she waited.

 

[Saki]

The padawan moved, going with Saki and she saw the jedi master letting out more and more upon those attacking them. THe earth itself came to her command when she attacked now. It brought fissures to trip up enemy soldiers, a momentary shield for herself and rocks to bash others in the face with. Her very own equipment getting little use aside from her hands. The padawan had fallen back a little with some soldiers and moved to avoid the real problems of the soldiers choosing to pick them off with Stunners if they tried to surround the master. She could still hear her grunts and small roar of battle as she continued to wade into the enemies.
