The Hands of Palpatine

[Tugoro Taidarious]

The battle within the front courtyard of Palpatine's estate had only lasted a few moments, decisive choices and instant reaction being the only thing that allowed the group to survive. Still on the stone floor after being thrown, the brown haired man would push himself up onto his feet, looking around at all of the dead bodies. Regardless of whether or not the assassin's intent was to kill, such nonchalant murder was unbecoming of a Jedi, Tugoro's gaze filled with disappointed as it lifted from the ground.

"Thank you," he spoke to the group, knowing they had saved him either way. The Republic soldiers did their job dutifully, collecting the bodies and arranging them off of the property, making sure to identify those that could be. The assassins were unrecognizable to most, for the Maladians had not been heard from in centuries. The battle was far from over however, seeing as more dark side users had emerged from the palace. There was indeed some truth to the rumors floating around, only causing Tugoro to focus his mind as he prepared to engage once more.

The words of the blonde haired woman did not put the Jedi at ease one bit, for she herself was hardly the perfect Jedi. Their quest was a foolish one, their judgement clouded by arrogance and the dark side, no doubt. It was present within them. Nonetheless, Tugoro knew he would have to work alongside his unlikely allies, the bright blue blade of plasma at his side swinging upwards into a vertical position close to his body.

Xiarr would deactivate his saber and nodded his head when [member="Tugoro Taidarious"] thanked the group. He would look at the bodies scattered along the floor,whether it was darksiders or Republic Troopers,body parts were all over the floor. He could tell that Jedi didn't want to be working alongside them,but Xiarr didn't want to bring it up now. He would hear someone coughing,it seemed to be coming from the floor. It was one of the Republic Troopers,his throat slashed. The soldier wouldn't speak,he would just put his hand up,and then his body went limp. Xiarr would close his eyes for a couple of seconds "They didn't deserve to die,not this early in their lives anyways..."

Jakkor raised his sabers as he stood next to his master looked to [member="Xiarr Sair"] and said to him. "Still it is either them or us. Their is no time for sentimental jedi ideals at this moment in time. Focus on the battle that is to come,and try not to die."
He raised his sabers,and watched the darksiders carefully waiting for their next move.

Viktoria was more than understanding when it came to [member="Jakkor Kess"]' plans. After all, he was pretty smart and he always knew what he was doing. [member="Tugoro Taidarious"] seemed to think otherwise though and he seemed to have doubts about Viktoria too. What he didn't realize, was that Viktoria herself was pretty smart and even though the crazy ideas were... well.. crazy, she still kept her head about herself and wasn't as insane as she seemed. But when he thanked the group for helping out, Viktoria gave a nod, acknowledging his thanks.

As Jakkor stepped up beside Viktoria, she looked to him, giving a nod as she then held her sabers up in a ready position. She had also saw [member="Fexa Keis"] who had started to come up beside Jakkor, until she realized that he was beside Viktoria. She appreciated the fact that Fexa let Jakkor fight with Viktoria, but honestly Tori didn't mind Fexa standing beside them in battle.

She then looked over to [member="Xiarr Sair"] who was mourning the loss of the troopers who did their best to fight with the group of force users. Viktoria understood, but right now, there were three dark siders awaiting the Jedi and they would have to work together to defeat them. But Jakkor couldn't have voiced it any better than Viktoria.

Xiarr got back up from his knees,he muttered something under his breath after [member="Jakkor Kess"] said his statement. "Let's keep moving,we've stayed in this courtyard for too long." By then the darksiders had fled further into the building,a smart move if they wanted to avoid more losses. Hopefully,the group could survive another assault or anything else the cult might throw at them.

Orion pointed his lightsaber toward the fleeing darksiders and then turned to the others. "If we are going to kill them, I suggest we follow. Whatever is inside this mansion they want to protect. And I suggest we get it instead of those assassins." He then began to walk toward the mansion, hoping everyone would cautiously follow. He remembered the place. He had been here once before, long ago. Way back when its original owner still lived here, and still tortured so many. But it wasn't long before everything changed, and he never came back.

Cherry followed close behind [member="Orion Trex"], sneaking not creating a sound with her footsteps. It was dark and gloomy and she could feel the souls of strong dark siders. It sent shivers down her spine. The bookshelves were dusty and full of cobwebs and there was a light flickering in another room. It was sure was creepy.

So I'm guessing this thread is dead now... I haven't used this character in a while and just checked in so... I guess this should get archived? I don't know... what do you guys think?
