The Wretched And Godless

[Salij-Nekt]

Salij-Nekt was welcomed with....well, one would not say welcome arms exactly. That's what happens when one is far from their people for so long, they are looked down on. Only by his power as it is now was he able to even survive the welcome. The Anubian stood by one of the cities boundaries. Out in the open of the desert. Ever since his return, he learned that after the fall of the Ancient Eye, it had been thrown into chaos. Hierarchy crumbling, and warring pharaohs. Increase in bandits.

This was Salij's new task, with or without the aid of his master [member="Rowin Taff"]. Salij aimed to venture out soon, there was a camp he had learned the location of. Recently.

Darth Scuros' ship would enter Ankhypt's atmosphere and land on the planet. The Sith was drawn by adventure and greed. The bandits would be challenge enough, he thought. Maybe he'd even find an artifact of force power here The Sith landed his ship within city Salij was in. After asking around for details about the bandits and where to find them, Scuros was directed toward one of the city's boundaries. They told him he'd find an Anubian standing there and sure enough he was there.

"Hello. I was told you were also going to hunt bandits. Mind if I join?" as the chiss said this he could feel the dark side presence coming off this Anubian.

"I wasn't expecting to find another Sith out here. I'm Darth Scuros." he said.

The Anubian saw the ship fly over. But he paid no mind, if they were trouble he trusted that those inside the city could handle them. He would soon find out, however as he felt their presence coming his way. And then, there they were by the Anubian's side. He kept his sole gaze to the horizon, letting off a slight growl. The pharaoh of this city had sent out for help to deal with the bandits. The prize, whatever treasure they had. Salij did not like those that looked to seek our the treasure themselves. He was all about honor.

"I am Salij-Nekt. And you will remain near...these bandits are not to be trifled with" Salij answered in return to the Sith. Then he started on the long trek. He had no plans to use transport to reach the camp. "They are in this direction? A small camp."

"Nice to meet you, Salij-Nekt. . . " the Sith squinted his eyes as the Anubian told him to stay near as if he was too weak to kill bandits, "I've killed countless Jedi, I'm pretty sure I can handle some simple bandits." Scuros snapped back.

He followed Salij in the direction of the camp. The Sith would notice it was very hot on this planet and he was glad he'd brought the right clothes and some water, so it wasn't bothering him too much.

"So what should I expect from these bandits? Exactly." Scuros asked.

Salij gave another snarl at the snap back. Yes, maybe. But it was not just bandits in this desert. There were horrors under the sands, undiscovered tombs one could fall into and never leave. But, he kept that to himself. He would deal with such horrors himself, and if the other wanted help on it, Salij would offer. The Anubian continued on, carrying himself over the crest of a dune. There it was. Some tents set up, and at least twenty or so Anubians below.

"There is almost two dozen. They lack food and water, but make no mistake. Anubians are powerful. And the combat could draw in predators." Salij glanced over to [member="Darth Scuros"]. "They are not to be taken lightly, Anubian or the predators."

 

[Ghost369]

Scuros followed Salij over the dune and spotted the Anubian bandits below.

"Two dozen isn't that many. Bandits are not as powerful as the dark side."

He didn't really seem to care when Salij mentioned the predators, thinking two Sith could easily handle a beast. Stretching out his arm the Sith shot force lightning at the nearest tent, lighting it on fire. He then ignited his lightsaber, held reverse grip in his right hand, as he ran at the nearest bandit and attacked. Scuros cut this bandit and their weapon in half with a slash across the chest. Another bandit ran at him and was thrown with the force into the fire he'd just made, they died screaming.

Salij slid down the dune and activated his long saber, activating the cross-guarded end. Once at the bottom he force pushed against two bandits coming to charge. They would be down for the count, as Salij wanted some left alive. To get answers. To ask how they had gotten this treasure. Making a full spin, he managed to cut aside another bandit coming at him with dual curved axes. They fell quickly. Salij-Nekt glanced over to [member="Darth Scuros"] as they downed a second. This was going well already.

Picking up an Anubian with the force Scuros pulled them toward him, they flew into his lightsaber and cried out in pain before slumping to the ground. The Sith picked up their corpse with the force and crushed it into a ball then threw it hard at another bandit. They yelled in disgust as the ball of flesh flew at them then again in pain as it hit him. Scuros slowly walked over to the now wounded Anubian. When he was close enough he kicked them in the face, blood sprayed from the bandit's mouth. With a swing if his lightsaber Scuros decapitated them. He noticed Salij's glance and nodded before he kicked another bandit in the gut, knocking them down.

[Salij-Nekt]

Salij-Nekt saw savagery in the movements of [member="Darth Scuros"]. But not as savage as Salij as he spotted a human bandit, which was surprising. Some of these bandits were human? Were there more in the tents? More than he had assumed? And they had a blaster. Salij side-stepped to dodge, and went into a full sprint. Then, he sprung. His feet landing against their chest, crushing them under his weight. Then to finish, he delivered a full-forced downward stab.

He sprinted to the next target, another Anubian and went for a stab, which missed. He pulled back, and the crossguard caught their side. As they held their burning side, he lunged forward with his jaws. Another down, just like that. "There are more than I thought!" he called over to the other.

 

[Ghost369]

Darth Scuros deflected a blaster bolt back to a human bandit who shot at him. Another anubian bandit tried to sneak up on the Sith and spear him in the side. Scuros sensed the attack with the force then dodged and punched them in the jaw before grabbing their weapon and taking it from their hands with dark side imbued strength. He impaled them through the gut and lifted them up before slamming them back down and off of the spear. They weren't dead yet, but another bandit shot at Scuros and gained his attention. He sprinted at them with force speed and jumped over the human bandit to bring his lightsaber down on them. They were cut in half all the way down the middle. Scuros force threw his lightsaber and it flew in front of him before making a slight turn and turning around to fly back across the previous, surviving bandit's neck. He caught it as it came back.

"Yeah, I sense them. Shouldn't be too bad." Scuros said as he sprinted with force speed so he was back to back with Salij.

The Chiss' lightsaber was held parallel to his chest with both hands as he awaited more challengers to attack.

 

[Salij-Nekt]

Salij-Nekt clutched another enemy by the throat, then went to slam them down into the ground. The Anubian warrior clutched at Salij's arm, trying to get him off. Salij used the metal of the saber's long hilt to knock them out with a swift hit. "Leave some alive! I wish for answe-" An explosion through him back. Just what more did these bandits have?! The Anubian Sith stood, and stopped another grenade as it was thrown towards him. Stopping it n the air, then throwing back.

"These bandits! They are armed more than simple bandits!" These explosions worried the Anubian Sith greatly. Salij-Nekt worried as well, these explosions. They would be bringing something more fearsome their way.
