Lily and Venus fled into the hallways. Long red cloaks billowed behind them as the identical twin Royal Guards wore their Ceremonial Guard Armour. Even in combat they chose to wear this, it was lighter than the power armour other Royal Guards wore. After all, the two bounty hunters had lived the life of stealth and assassination. Big guns and heavy armour wasn't their thing, not by a long shot. Lily heaved the awkward Anti-Materiel rifle in her arms, cradling the weapon whilst Venus struggled to run with a heavy rocket launcher on her shoulder. They were some ten rooms down when Lily turned, curling a single hand around the door knob. It was locked. She squeezed her hand and the metal crunched under her cybernetic might. She was strong enough to crunch metal and shatter rocks, but she didn't look like it.

The door gave away as she pushed forward with her elbow and used her hand to rip the door knob out of its hold. A squadron of One Sith forces squatted in the room, trading exchange fire from their window, much like most other windows. Lily raced forward, glancing out. She was taken back when she saw a tank held a great dent in its front but was otherwise unharmed. "Oi!" Lily shouted to Venus, "Your missile didn't work." Venus stepped forward, brushing aside the curtain to peer out. She wasn't like her sister, but could faintly make out the dent. She wasn't cybernetically enhanced, and it was a tremendous downfall when it came to fighting force-users. The One Sith troopers moved aside for the two Royal Guards, knowing not to get in their way. Venus lowered her AT-RL1 and began loading in another rocket. "Find another target, I'll finish what you started," Lily said to her identical twin. There came only a nod of acknowledgement.

Lily set down her AMR-1 Anti-Materiel rifle, resting it on the windowsill. Venus turned to the troopers, "Guard the hallways, best you get out of this room before one of those tanks try and take us out." Venus didn't mean 'us' to the troopers, but for herself and her sister, Lily. When the tank line began realising anti-armor personnel were attempting to stop their advance, they'd be directing cannon fire right in their direction. To say the least; it was going to get very deadly, very quickly. Lily lined up her shot, she pulled free the armour-piercing rounds and slotted in a separate magazine, explosive. Sure, it wasn't as strong as a landmine, or even a rocket for that matter. But if her bullet could slam against that dent, hopefully it would bust it. She didn't have much ammunition for the AMR-1, only four pouches lined her weapons belt, with each pouch correlating with a different type of ammunition. One magazine per pouch.

"Target acquired," Venus confirmed. It was the tank beside Di Mancini. "Firing," the twins said in unison. They both slapped the triggers of their weapons. Lily intended to hit the dent in the enemy tank, but she herself was unsure the extent of damage the explosive round could do, even if the rifle was anti-materiel. Armor-piercing rounds were the type to use on tank hulls, and explosive were often used on their treads. But she had to make an estimated guess, hoping that the explosive round was enough to tear open the dent and leave the occupants exposed. The two thunder booms could be heard. Smoke trailed from the barrel of Lilys rifle and Venus' launcher. They stood simultaneously, twisted their bodies and sprinted for the doors, dragging their weapons behind them.

Finally, the last of my body armor was on, and I lowered the armor onto my head.

Stepping slowly out the door of my apartment, I activated Big Red, and it began to thrum with energy. The turadium chain turned, and the music of upcoming destruction reached me.

With a graceful leap, I landed in the main hall of the temple. In front of a rather handsome young Jedi. He turned to attack, and I de-polarized my helmet's visor so he could see my face. He gasped slightly when he saw that he was standing in front of a beautiful, tall, murderous woman holding a giant chainsaw.

"You're a cutie. What's your name?"

His eyes widened. He was probably a Padawan, then.

"Kreg. And you're not so bad, yourself."

I decided what I'd do. I raise my body temperature, simultaneously changing color like a Falleen, and exuding an almost irresistible aura of pheromones. I looked at him, and grinned.

"Now, Kreg, I'd rather have fun playing with you, than actually fight. You're hot, I like you already, and I really would rather sleep with you than kill you. So, if you could, um, take off that outer robe and put on something a little Sithy, that'd be nice. So, neither of us gets scratched, both of us have some fun, and I can hang with you, later."

The guy just shrugged, threw off his outer robe, and grabbed the nearest Sithy-looking robe, and stalked off, away from the fight.

Camellia herself began strapping on Rendili Combat Armor, not that she was planning on rushing into the fray blindly herself, but she wanted to make sure that while she was on the ground, if she decided to get in on the action herself, she wasn't going to be killed by a blaster bolt or picked out as an officer in just uniform garb. For now though she was on the bridge of the Shield Medical Frigate as she kept track of the progress of her soldiers deployment. Six hundred volunteers from the Rendili Home Defense Force had come all the way out to Alderaan to help retake the world by providing the safe haven of this fallback point and medical station for the wounded and injured. Nearly all of them had been off loaded via the other frigates and the dropships.

The young Rendili woman issued orders rapidly, she was the officer in charge and she wanted things getting done correctly and quickly. She had several bridge crew on the communications station, thumbing through channels looking for trouble spots where reinforcements were needed and any frequency where there were calls for medical support for injured units. The RHDF soldiers went to work quickly, half their battle tanks forming a perimeter along with two hundred of the soldiers themselves to ensure the safety of the field hospital they had established and to make sure if the Sith pushed toward this area in a counter attack it would not fall. They even started erecting some barricades for cover. A another half of the remaining battle tanks, along with nearly all the speeder units and Oversight Recon Droids, began drifting into the city accompanied with squads of soldiers as another two hundred RHDF troopers split off into the city itself to fight the Sith and drive them from the streets. Enough to create more of a foothold for the Republic and create more safe LZs for the wounded to be brought to so dropships could bring them to the Medical Frigate.

Their battle would be a most brutal one.

Soldiers would be shot down crossing the street by snipers, a tank here and there detonated by an RPG launched from an upper window, and those on speeders were open prey to anyone with a decent shot. However, it worked both ways, as squads of RHDF entered buildings and cleared out the sith soldiers after pinpointing them, their own carbines taking up positions from the windows to hit the Sith back, firefights in the streets turning in their favor as Oversight Droids altered squads before they encountered wandering Sith and allowed them to ambush them or coordinate to lure the Sith's own armor into a position to be hit by Rendili Battle Tanks from behind. There was plenty of shouts and sounds cannon and blaster fire echoing down the empty boulevards that Alderaan's citizens once walked down. But there was enough of a push, Rendili Soldiers took the ground they would capture and get to work making them suitable LZs and safe fallback points for others of the Republic fighting nearby deeper in the Sith territory, rather than keep pushing and risking their lives and the operation attempting to tackle the full force of the Sith themselves.

Camellia would quietly listen to this progress and work on keeping things on task along with the rest of the officers under her command helping to answer everyone, pointing out tall buildings to setup as sniper stations to keep the Sith from pushing back, large parks that could hold evacuees comfortably while they awaited a dropship, and which streets were the limit of how far they could stretch their forces. This was all one city, there was a limit to what only a few hundred could do. Sometimes the smallness of a person wasn't realized until they hit situations like these. And yet there was still more, because there had been a priority request for reinforcements. At the temple itself.

There was where the last six tanks and hundred troopers of the RHDF squadron had left off too as the others held the Field Hospital and Fought in the city. Camellia herself itched to lead the assault personally there, but coordinating everyone on the larger scope came first. "[member="Kian Karr"] This is Captain Camellia Swift of the RHDF. I don't know if you heard over the comms earlier, but we've setup a field hospital with a Medical Frigate over here and established a ground zone. We're currently working to establish more holds in the city where a large part of the fighting is for Republic Soldiers to fall back if needed or be evacuated for injury. We heard your request for reinforcements for an attack on the temple gates? I've diverted a hundred RHDF Troopers to the area with six of our battle tanks. We have a pair of Oversight Recon Droids in the area giving us a slight evaluation of the area. I can deploy sixty of the soldiers against the front of the temple to aid the assault and divert twenty to either side to flank, I can send one of those groups to you personally."

Already the main force of sixty closed on the temple, taking up positions from a distance waiting for confirmation of the situation, four of the battle tanks forming up behind the infantry spreading out, ready to break through the Sith Soldiers with their repulsors and be a battering ram into the building if they had to. The other forty had split off as mentioned, each with one battle tank, moving from a far off distance to avoid being noticed until they could get reports of where they were wanted to barrel in on. "We can also send in a few of our F-18 fighters to make a strafing run to open up a few holes for you. Their chaff launchers can handle any missile AA the Sith have there, but if they got flak we'll hold off if you've seen any. I don't want to risk fighter pilots and dropships if they can't get close."

"Better late than never," were the first words that came from Hatake as he approached the temple. He took a quick glance of his surroundings before he began fighting. The Padawan was only armed with his rectangular lightsaber which contained a white crystal at the heart of the weapon. Suddenly, a beam of white sprang to life from the saber and he began walking into the temple. The left side of his face, as always, was concealed by a bandana and a part of his jumpsuit that was behind his robes. He was now inside the temple taking a quick glance at what was in front him: Death, blood, and chaos. Who's fault was it? Obviously, the Sith and its allies. For they are the ones who mostly orchestrate all the negative things in the karked up galaxy. After the quick glance of the battlefield he walked through the temple. There was no rush, for it would just lead him to defeat. He just walked, ready to receive any opponent that would eventually be thrown at him. But he wasn't hasty to find one. Time would give him a fight that he thirsted for.

All he had to do was wait..

Smiling as this would be the last few rounds that I would need, I took aim toward a Kel'dor that had been trying to help his comrades. With much higher accuracy this time, I could see the mask on his face move up and down as he spoke to an apprentice. Waiting for him, I could feel my finger itch. And with a pull equal to that of 8.5 pounds, I pulled the trigger to release another round, and without taking my hands off the gun, telekinesis had already unloaded that round and reloaded a second for mento fire at him again, and finally a third round. To where I dropped the rifle, grabbed the shotgun, and jumped from the window.

At first I fell with gravity, but angling my body, as well as my glistaweb cloak, and some limited use of telekinesis, I glided over to where I could see a rather well dressed woman fighting, and the Jedi all standing before me. Still a few meters off the ground I allowed myself to drop down and slam my fist down. The result? A wave of energy that rushed towards them not as a force wave, but a tremmor beneath their feet. Where earthen spikes would come up from the ground to impale them.

Oh how I loved to be a Sith. I was limitless. Not judged on how I could fire or how well I was in politics, but rather, how well I prefomed on the field. I would not abandon my cause.

"Lieutenant, take your forces to the right! The rest of you, stay here and lay down covering fire." Melkaroth was interrupted by an explosion to his right, which sent rubble flying off in every direction. A sizeable chunk of stone hit one of the stormtroopers square in the helmet, and he slumped to the floor. One of his comrades broke cover to pull him to shelter, but was immediately gunned down.

The rest of them continued to huddle behind the gigantic stone slab which they were using for cover. Their section of the temple had been reduced mostly to rubble, but Melkaroth had taken command and they were now pushing the enemy back. Out of the chaos, something caught Melkaroth's eye: a Jedi, walking calmy forward with his saber activated. Without hesitation Melkaroth activated both blades of his saber, deflecting the blaster bolts that immediately came his way and strode out to meet this new opponent. Stretching out his reach through the force, he selected a medium-sized piece of rock and hurled it towards the Jedi, hoping to catch him off guard.

While some of the others made strafing runs against ground targets, Niamh flew in to land in a small clearing a decent ways from the temple itself. She wasn't about to put the fighter in danger if she could help it. When she jumped down, she pulled off her flight helmet and tossed it back into the fighter before putting on her armor helm. When Oka spoke up, having landed nearby himself, she pointed him in the direction of the temple itself.

"Head that way and engage the Sith in support of our ground forces."

She wasn't going to straight up accompany him. She wanted to sneak around the temple and see if she could find a soft spot in the defense that would allow her to make her way in. So she set off at a trot, hoping that the other Wraiths would take matters into their own hands now that they were down on the ground.

By the time he provoked more enemies to come out and fight, half a dozen Republic troops had regrouped with Flint. Flint felt the enemy before he could even get to see them. He detected small quakes on the ground, and it grew more and more notable as the enemy forces approached. Then, the Jedi Knight spotted first of the enemy forces lumbering towards them.

At first Flint thought that they were some sort of droids. He felt as though that gigantic red armors and heavy weaponry would be impossible for any ordinary being to utilize without some sort of greatly enhanced strength. Flint had never seen those red armors before, and he got the feeling they were far more powerful than normal stormtroopers. And to his dismay, there was a dozen of them.

"Now! Open fi-"

Before his troops could even fire a single shot, the enemy red giants opened fire on them without a warning. The powerful sonic blasts that shot out from their rifles vaporized two of his troops on the spot, and seemed to shatter the bones of the rest. Flint had just barely managed to dodge out of the way, and tumbled slightly from the sheer power of the sonic rifle shots.

Attempting to recover, Flint quickly used the Force to toss a bunch of nearby boulder directly at the enemy group. Hoping that this move bought him at least a few seconds, Flint utilized Force Push to send another large boulder at his foes.

"I need reinforcements!" the Jedi Knight yelled into his communication device.

-------------------

Veino let out a sigh of relief as Republic forces and other Jedi swept into the forest to assist. If they could manage to push this force back, they could sweep into the temple from the side and come up from behind the brawl on the steps. They just had to sweep this woods clean. Then he heard [member="Flint Dexen"] call for reinforcements, and he chewed his lip. Nothing he could about it now, no matter how badly he felt the need to go assist. There were allies here who required assistance. He took a deep breath and pulled back on the accelerator to slow down as the voxyn charged him, and he could hear other Voxyn rampaging through the forest. He had no idea how wild they were at the moment.

He lifted the rifle again, and aimed the sights for the voxyn's head and snout. He needed to take this out. But wait, no he didn't. There was no way it could outrun a speeder bike. But it was in his way. Was the creature truly evil? Or was it simply used and twisted by the Sith into a weapon of their own design? It was Vong shaped, yes, but so was Alderaan for that matter, rebuilt from the asteroids left by Palpatine's Empire. But it was attacking him and others in the area. He closed his eyes for a moment, and squeezed the trigger, sending blaster bolts lancing forward again. Then he swerved to the side, ducking as tree branches lashed at his face, one scoring a quick scratch along his cheek. He looked back ahead of him in time to see a fallen log stretching across his path. He rolled to the side, just clearing it, and then peeling back to his left, heading towards where the Padawan lay on the ground.

He screeched down to a stop next to her, and slid off the speeder, looking around to make sure nobody was already shooting at him, and then back up to where the Republic troops were fighting their way through the woods. The dropship wasn't far away, and he had heard that a medical facility had been set up. He couldn't tell how bad the total extent of the injuries were, but the bullet wound was concerning. He frowned, chewing his lip, well aware of the seconds ticking by. He could almost hear them, low and deep. There was no time now. He knelt down to lift her up and get back on the speeder. She looked very young to be on a battlefield. What were the Jedi thinking? Or were they truly that desperate?

Assuming he managed to get them both back on the speeder, he would hit the accelerator again, slinging the rifle back on his back, and focusing on getting to the dropship, weaving in and out between the trees and crisscrossing blaster fire.

 

[Corvus Raaf]

Corvus was barely conscious when she was picked up by [member="Veino Garn"] and placed on his speeder. She didn't know if he was friend or foe - and in her current state she didn't much care. It was better than lying in a pool of her own vomit.

Her head felt like an explosion had gone off inside it and she could hear literally nothing - as if someone had stuffed cotton wool where she should have brains. She managed a feeble, "It seemed a good idea at the time," before succumbing once more to unconsciousness.

Her ship was skimming it`s way to main battle near the temple, the pilot was carefully following the contours of the landscape. This was so he was less likely to be spotted, he was taken the ship as close as possible to the temple area. Their he would try rain fire on the enemy positions. The guns where locked and loaded, she was only here for the ride. As it got closer to the temple, he told her over the intercom Get ready, we about to approach the enemy positions. She new the ship would then pop up and attack anyone in the area, then drop back down before they could return fire.

She did not want to fight, but if she did not her lands would become forfeit. She would become poor, and house thul would pay the price. Her options where none, she had to fight regardless of consequences. She just hoped no one would recognize her, so if the republic did win. She could at least claim she under duress, which was true. She did not want to disobey the sith, as they had fifty meter high monsters at her side. Who where willing to eat her.

[SIZE=9pt] Matsu was a little late to the party, but later was better than never. She’d gotten a quiet call to come aid the One Sith and she couldn’t say no. She hadn’t had any direct dealings with the group up until this point but she’d have to be living under a rock to be ignorant of them. And she had to respect anyone with the stones to take the planets they had and hold them.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt] Once she arrived things were well under way, the battle raging beneath the Fighter she piloted as she found somewhere to land. She leapt from the pit of the small ship just as it finished touching down, sweeping her eyes over the action in front of her once she’d reached the fray, still moving to make herself a harder target (a Jedi fighting two men plated in red armor, what appeared to be multiple confrontations between Sith and Jedi on the stairs leading up to the Temple, and dozens of others either sprinting towards the structure itself or looking for someone to fight). Two men (Ferian, [member="Memorial"] ) seemingly trapped in the beginnings of a duel caught her eye as she sprinted up the steps, looking out for anyone who pinned her.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt] A man came sprinting forward and her saber ignited in the palm of her hand just before she threw it, cleaving him in half before calling the hilt back and continuing her upward momentum towards the Temple. Even if the pair she’d spotted squared off didn’t need assistance she would help the Sith defend what they’d taken if she could make her way inside.[/SIZE]

 

[Cobalt]

Up until now, I'd pretty much been out of the way, telekinetically throwing a Jedi or two across the hall. Little stuff like that.

But now, there was a real Knight. Not anybody I recognized as a commander of the enemy forces, but it was definitely a Knight. In full combat armor. Yay, me.

"You think you're hot stuff, Jedi? We'll see how you feel when Big Red teaches you a lesson."

And I activated my chainsaw. His eyes widened as I rose my weapon.

"Scared, nerf herder? Then let's dance!"

I leapt with the Force, but was intercepted in the air. The Knight forced me down towards the ground. I swung my saw towards his gut, and he screamed as the teeth began to hit muscle and bone. He still managed to throw me ten feet, though. That hurt. But now he was bleeding freely from his left side, and I had the advantage. I swung again, and his armor cracked. Good to see that the upper torso armor wasn't as weak as that of the abdomen. That would've been too easy.

I returned to my stance, and waited for the fool to attack me again.

So many allies jumping into the battle, Acarus didn't know who to coordinate an attack with. Instead of them working together they simply swarmed the clearly superior Jedi Knight. At least when it came to experience. It seemed the One Sith were going to have to actually think for once, rather than just running into the battle.

His eyes remained on Aleksandr and Kezeroth as he thought that. Unfortunately you didn't get to choose your allies.

The Sith Knight lunged to the side so the Gen'Dai grunt wasn't in his way. Again he retrieved a projectile.

But it was no Thud Bug, this time it was simply a Blast Bug. Similar to the thud bug in many properties. Except the fact that the Blast bug blew up when it found contact or came into reach of it's enemy, or so he thought. He did know for a fact though that it was rare for people to survive encounters with it, and so again, he threw it at Ashin Varanin, but this time at her torso so that she'd have a harder time defending against it. He lunged backwards so that he was out of range of even the most harmless part of the explosion, and glanced around the battlefield from where he stood.

Where are the rest of the Jedi?

The momentary Force shield vanished as its sharp impact stopped the Gen'Dai charge; no fire blowback from Idruin. That still left her to handle a thorough Juyo assault from a very large being, a gout of flame from behind her, and Acarus' blast bug. Idruin was at her five o'clock, Barcu at her twelve o'clock, Acarus at her two o'clock. No chance of jumping up and letting the blast bug hit Idruin; the angles were wrong for that.

She had no chance of engaging with the Gen'Dai blade to blade, not without serious mobility, but mobility had been her priority ever since the hulking alien got on the scene. She blocked low, caught a strike of his with a wrenching, painful impact on her wrists. She let it throw her left, off the edge of the stairs as she caught the first heat of Idruin's blast on a momentary, angled Force shield. The angle tossed the flame at the Gen'Dai, broadly speaking; it had been a quick response, not a precise one, but more than sufficient against basic Kro Var pyro. She'd trained a Master Fire Shaper once. Good times.

Thrown a couple meters sideways by the Gen'Dai's blow, she dropped into a moment's cover behind the edge of the stairs, and the blast bug hit the last shreds of the dissipating Force shield. It detonated closer to the Gen'Dai than to Idruin, and a pyro would handle the reduced blast pretty easily. The top of the stairs reached perhaps eight feet above the ground; a sheet of fire blasted over her head. She landed hard, just out of Acarus' line of sight -- which was neither good nor bad, or maybe both -- and stepped back to get line of sight on the pyro. The towering Gen'Dai was still visible from the chest up, and her fall had put Acarus behind him again, but only for the moment

Temple wall to her left, open meadow and forest and battlefield to her right, stonework damaged by current and former combat -- she flicked her off hand. Half a dozen fist-sized chunks of stonework sprayed from the steps at Idruin's waist level. She wanted to hit the Gen'Dai, but the only non-astrophysics-related way to beat one of those was to wear it down good hit by good hit, and there was no way to do that with Acarus and Idruin playing striker to his tank. You just didn't go for the tank without turning into Kal Strife and losing Druckenwell.

"On it commander" [member="Niamh Raste"] was wise for her rank so that's why he followed most of her orders. He saw a nearby speeder, not sure whose it was, he got on it and started the machine. He took off fast, guess he should've read the labels, he thought.

Making his way to the entrance, Oka saw Flint throwing huge boulders at his foes. "What a way to end a fight" Oka mumbled. Oka was at the entrance, he jumped off the speeder and ran towards Flint holding a saber in his hand. "Flint - I'm here to help, you seem like you're having fun." Oka said with a small chuckle.

Veino Garn would find his expert speeder piloting would receive support from the lowering dropship, an Rendili Atmospheric Entry Transport whose beam turrets spewed forth and lanced across the fields burning through Sith soldiers in the open. The side doors opening up and allowing the squad of Rendili soldiers within to add their carbine fire to the descending craft's attack on nearby enemies to provide cover for the Jedi making their way over. They would hustle out of the ship once it touched down, moving forward quickly to lay out a stretcher and help Veino put the injured Corvus Raaf on it so she could be taken on board and assuredly whisked away to the medical frigate. The apparent Lieutenant of the squad would walk forward with half of the group that had been in the RAET as the rest took off to get Corvus the medical attention she needed. "Master Jedi, I'm Lieutenant Alross. We're one of the units on deployment for medical retrieval in the area. The RHDF has a full company in the city fighting for control of the region around the temple and opening up a route to the Medical Frigate for our forces. A platoon has moved to reinforce the assault on the temple while the rest of us hold the field hospital we have set up and work on retrieval of the injured. Don't worry about the young miss they'll take care of her on the Muse of Recovery. My squad and I will be sticking around to join in on the fight here and call in more dropships. We have a few men on speeders if you need to go on ahead, me and the rest will catch up."

Just as the Lieutenant had said elsewhere the fighting was still intense, the soldiers in the city streets and buildings fighting for footholds, while the sixty odd members of the RHDF prepared to make the plunge into the temple. With a signal sent from Camellia from aboard the Medical Frigate's bridge, her command center, they went in with everything they had. The Rendili Battle Tanks with the main force at the temple steps moved ahead of the infantry charge, their cannons leveling on the massive armored warriors, the Imperial Guard in their fancy an destructive armor, and fired! The soldiers themselves rush forward, many moving into various pieces of cover and taking their newfound positions to exchange fire with the Sith soldiers trying to force them inside. Among those who did not go into cover were five Rendili Blademasters, dedicated soldiers to bladework in an attempt to provide Rendili's forces with an iconic unit, if a bit lacking in comparison to those with vast power and plasma blades like the Jedi or Sith.

Nonetheless with a squad of soldiers at their backs they rushed forward protected to a degree under the suppressing fire of their force's tank fire and that of their infantry fellows who had taken cover. Their objective was simple, route the Sith soldiers attempting to hold the ground. One of the Blademasters fell being shot before reaching the enemy, along with four of the regulars behind her, but the remaining four along with the other soldiers burst into the fray and began shooting and cutting a swath into the Sith line. The Rendili soldiers weren't foolish, they kept toward the regular Sith stormtroopers, those monstrous Imperial Guard in their armor could put up with the tank fire, the Blademasters though. . . . .they had bigger fish to engage, and another Jedi to support. They saw Ashin Varanin in the entryway engaged with several opponents of both Vong and Sith, and they made it their goal to cut and fight their way to her if they could. They might not defeat a Sith force user themselves, but they were each skilled swordmasters, they would at least coordinate to pressure the Sith and Vong to at least give Ashin a fairer fight, or chance to retreat.

Kezeroth had started his Rampage. He had to continue on..

Kezeroth stood looking down at [member="Ashin Varanin"] while on fire still, The flames.. Kezeroth hated Flames. The small jedi [member="Ashin Varanin"] was quick a smart as expected. The Gen'Dai knew he made contact with his saber, he could just feel it. Kezeroth soaked up the damage on that one and it enraged him more. The Gen'Dais skin slowly started coming back to full healing, Was almost impossible to avoid the Flame and Blast bug explosion. Kezeroth looked at [member="Darth Acarus"] and [member="Aleksandr Idruin"] telling them.

" Enough! She is Mine! Defend the Temple!"

Kezeroth moved back so his giant figure would be gone from her limited sight. A Roar was heard and Kezeroth gave a leap down toward, Holding his Light-Pike in one hand, aimmed down just incase. Kezeroth focused on [member="Ashin Varanin"] attempting to force pull her into a wall to daze her, His impact on the ground nearby would cause a mini shock wave from the Gen'Dais weight, enough to cause a good distraction for his blade.

location: near temple
Allies: OS
Enemies: [member="Flint Dexen"] [member="Oka Osaa"]
objective: not be left out.

Salvor liked it on Alderaan, it was a peaceful place, green and beautiful. The temple here was not like the Sith academy, the light side poured through its walls making the air feel lighter, easier to move through, it was strange but Salvor had the inescapable feeling the temple was hiding something, he had resolved to find out what but found himself distracted by natures enticing call. He had spent the last few hours wondering around the outskirts of the temple, looking for yellow flowers of all things. His search had thus far been fruitless but just being outside and having a goal to accomplish was good.

The peace of Alderaan was broken by the unmistakable sounds of war. Salvor raced around the side of the temple headed toward the entrance. After finally making his way around he was confronted with a scene of anarchy an chaos. War was clearly upon them, the pain and fear making the dark side grow strong even in the face of the temple’s calming peaceful influence. Salvor took a moment to revel in the destruction, breathing deep and strengthening his bond with the darskide, he turned his head noticing he had come up behind two jedI, one with his saber in hand, the other hurtling rocks at the vaunted red guard of the one sith.

“Jedi!” he called out to them as he ignited his saber and made a slow climb to where they were.

Idruin's eyes narrowed to near-slits as the woman's maneuvers ended with his gout of flames glancing off her hastily erected shield and washing toward the Gen'dai, who had managed to connect a solid blow that sent her flying. Before Aleksandr could round on her a prickle of danger ran up his spine. The premonitions of the Force did not lay out a step by step analysis of impending doom, but they did provide an instinctual sense of where and how to move.

The blast bug exploded mid-way between the hulking colossus and the thin teenager. Flames expanded toward him in a warping red-yellow inferno. Dark hair blew back and his face blistered under the oppressive gale of heat, but his hands wove together in swift, fluid motions as he channeled the fire, ending when he thrust both fists forward. The flames parted around his body, like ravenous vornskrs circling a treed ysalamir.

At last the inferno died down, leaving him singed and reddened, but mostly unharmed. As if in contrast, the furnace in his heart seemed to jump ten feet as rage ran through his veins like liquid fire. Did she think to quell him with his own element? Fool! He'd heard stories of this woman. They'd extolled her prowess in battle. Now he thought them sung by sycophants and gossips.

He rounded on her, lit saber humming in his right hand, face a mask of offended pride. He would cut her down, just as he'd slain Hasjo Hallu, just as he would -

A series of rocks flew through the air straight toward his midriff. Idruin whipped his saber up desperately, batting aside one - two, then the other four smashed into his stomach, driving the wind from him. He stumbled, caught his heel on the edge of the step behind, and fell backward. The small of his spine met the lip of the unyielding stair and lit his nerves with pain a second time. Wheezing for breath, he struggled to his feet and retreated a few paces. He could already feel the black and blue indentation forming on his back.

Eyes the hue of molten gold glared down at the woman as he recovered. If not for the distraction of the bug he'd have had her. Aleksandr looked over at the open space to her right. With enough room to maneuver she could continue to thwart their attacks... but if he managed to get her up against the wall.

Breathing steadily again, he ignored the shout of the Gen'dai and vaulted once more into the air, leaping clear past Varanin and toward the open meadow to her right. She could try throwing another Force Push at him, but he would be expecting it. Besides, she would probably be more immediately concerned with the Gen'dai coming straight for her... and the head-sized fireball he himself launched down at her as he sailed past, aiming to put it just behind her. With any amount of luck, she would retreat from the Gen'dai's onslaught and directly into the lane of the fireball.

But Aleksandr had never had much luck to begin with. Not much at all.
