The duel between the two would be quite.. something, considering that the last "attack" the droid did against Kyrel was gently pressing the edge of his lightsaber-resistant claws against his red blade to deactivate it with their purified cortosis layer. Afterwards the droid more or less would just casually swat his lightsaber aside to get him to stop pointing it at the droid and D'Vok he was kinda trying to protect, somehow that was enough to put his training to the test and duel him without actually attacking. But hey, as long as it kept the cyborg occupied and distracted, HK couldn't complaint.
[member="Isla Ashen"],
When Isla begun to raise the cloud of dust she could see the droid's red glowing eyes focused on her, although still humoring Kyrel to their little "duel" he seemed to be paying more attention to Red than the cyborg. So when the dust and debris begun to raise around her in what the droid determined to be unnatural patterns, perhaps even noticing somatic gestures if she used any to channel the Force better. She could see him stepping aside, positioning herself so that Kyrel was between her and the blast of Force and debris, using one of her own students as a body shield, forcing her to either harm both of them, or lower the intensity of attack at least in his particular direction, or somehow use a different angle when it came to attacking him with debris.
Either way, HK's large Phrik claws extended from his feet, reaching out from the biot and additional armor plates that covered him and they dug into the rock and dust floor beneath them, anchoring him down so that his relatively light
Phrik body would not be thrown around so easily. He would also not stop Kyrel from running away to fulfill his mission, to the droid he was not the real threat or target on the battlefield, so when the cyborg said,
"Well i'm afraid this will have to wait. I have better things to do than fight a droid,and i still wish to get out of here. Farewell."
The droid responded with,
"I was not fight you, you were trying to fight me. Goodbye, have a nice day."
This was a very weird encounter so far.
Either way, then Kyrel left the scene and there was nothing else shielding the droid, his cloak begun to flatter wildly against the torrent of dust, pieces of jagged rock would smash against him from the front and above, but still, Isla would be able to hear,
KSH-CHUNK, KSH-CHUNK,
Rhythmic sounds of the droid's feet pulling out of the ground and taking a hard, large step closer together, digging his anchoring claws all over again as he pushed against the tunnel of dust, the debris causing his body to yank and jerk back, to the sides, down even, as he dodged all he could from his fairly limited position, still being hit by plenty, his black cloak tearing slightly as the pieces of debris cut at it, there was also an unnatural noise,
NGYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAH,
A painful hiss of his biot as it absorbed large portion of the damage. Through the thick, chocking cloud of dust the crimson glow of the droid's eyes would be still seen by her, still looking right at her as it crept closer.
HK had his sights on her still through the cover with a nifty use of infrared scanners and heat sensors, standard droid tricks, when she turned around HK reached out towards her with his arm.
The droid had no access to the Force, obviously being fully mechanical and not one of those Shard puppets, but there was something else he could use, he called it the Droid-Force, those who were not weird like him just called it "science". HK activated one of his
Grav-Gloves, built into the biot suit, as he reached out with it he created a gravitational anomaly around and within Isla's leg, specifically her knee. He did a yanking-jerking motion back then, closing his fist, and the anomaly would mimic it.
Nobody would expect a telekinetic assault from a machine, for obvious reasons, but HK found ways to mimic some of the Force powers. Still, unlike Force-borne telekinesis, his was limited by its range, power, and duration. The farther his target got away from him the weaker his telekinesis was, although it could be still potent considering the droid's physical strength to begin with and how the Grav-Gloves used that as their maximum telekinetic strength, and it could only lest few seconds, so as much as the droid would like to hold Isla back, he would not be able to do it.
Instead his goal was, and that was the best case scenario, to yank back on her knee while crushing it a tad and dislocate her knee cap to force her down to the ground and disable some of her movement. But considering the possibly growing distance, although he tried to do it before she started to run, not the best conditions for aiming anything, and the fact that the Force could always alert her, it was just as likely that he only caused her to stumble, or to fall down with having her leg pulled back like that, or just damaged her kneecap and gave her a nasty limp but did not do enough to knock her down. There was too many variables and possibilities to say for sure.
[member="Samka Derith"],
Just like with Isla, Samka could see that HK was using his "duel" with Kyrel as a cover against their telekinetic attacks, so if she wanted to bring down the ceiling on the droid while her fellow Ren was right there, that was up to her. He did not remain there too long either way as he seemed quick to get out, and the rocks she forced loose would begun to smash down on the droid, who was currently heading towards Isla, although he was still standing.
And just like with Isla, when Samka turned around the droid extended out his arm and made a crushing, yanking motion towards her, activating his other
Grav-Glove, this time aiming to create a gravitational anomaly in and around her throat. His goal was to crush it enough to force her into a coughing fit while throwing her back into the collapsing cavern with them, the droid was no Jedi, but still it was not enough to strangle her to death like Vader enjoyed doing or even chock her out to knock her out. Also considering the possible distance, although again they were in the same cavern, it's probably fairly point blank environment, and her speed, it's possibly for the attack to have been weaker than HK expected, only causing a coughing fit without pulling her back too much, or she would have been able to escape out of the anomaly enough to only be yanked back by the back of her neck enough to make her stumble and slow her down momentarily.
Back to Kyrel!
The droid still had one more ace up his sleeve, his two
Greycloak guards that remained hidden, following his orders,
HK-36 said:
"Oh people!" He piped up with a soft gesture motioning for his bodyguards to wait out of sight before stepping in closer through the network towards them. He feigned ignorance for now, "Good, good, people are good, especially cuties like you, Red."
So when [member="Kaalia Voldaren"] came up to Kyrel outside of the crumbling tunnels, she would be able to spot two pairs of glowing red photoreceptors suddenly materialize out of thin air behind him, just seconds before the two honor guard HK droid cast off their
chameleon cloaks they used to stalk Kyrel through the tunnels, revealing their two large armored lightsaber-wielding bodies, although their lightsabers were not activated yet as they smashed into the ground two grey orbs.
Suddenly two clouds of thick matte grey dust-like substance would erupt around them like smokescreen, perhaps even going into Kyrel's filtration system. Indeed, describing it as dust would be fitting, for the name of the material was
D.U.S.T., a Protectorate-made tracking powder that had the ability to stick itself to plenty of surfaces and being fairly difficult to get rid of for shorter amounts of time.
[member="Rhen Qel-Droma"],
Master Rhen would be notified suddenly to all the locations tracking dust was currently covering, allowing him to intercept whatever was marked with it so far.

Zark is out sick with a toothache, he should be back soon to reply to you!
