​

Iella's mind is focused on the immediate situation, her mind clear and her body summon the force. She had been in that many wars in the past to know of the dangers and is well hardened to it all, a sad fact of her life with the Republic and now here it is on their door step. Banking hard right .. "Roger that Connor .. get the injured to safety and form up a defense .. I am going to pick a fight". With the communication cut she pushed the fighter forward and over the top of the enemy before she pulled the ship around for the first run.

She had limited weapons so she had to make this run count. Bringing the ship low she could see the enemy moved back to regroup, the Silver Jedi had managed to push them back but it was only a matter of time before their second wave would come. With target lock on the main group of the enemy, she open fire as they retreated away from the Temple, two concussion missiles flew form the Interceptor and hit the ground taking out a number of the Gormak, dirt and rock exploded into the air as the missiles hit and this move would put a dint in them, however she had no more missiles left. Another hard right and Iella flew to a near by clearing to land to enter the fight on ground.

The canopy popped open, unclicking the harrness she jumped out and ignited her white blade. Standing on the wing of the ship she ascertained the her position to them and noticed a gap in their front. Flanking them on the left, Iella ran to engaged the enemy. Building up inside her is the love to 'hunt', her sense attuned to the force heightened and pushed to her limbs giving them strength for the fight. She is in no armour today and needs to be mindful of this, only her flight suit and her blade providing a barrier between the enemy weapons. As she near the first line of enemy soldiers, the hatred and anger from the Gormak fuelling her using it to power her form of Vaapad. Iella has the strength of mind to be able to utilise this to her advantage and pull back from it.

With a growl forming in her mouth Iella, lunged forward .. her blade a blur as many rapid strikes cut down the nearest opponents. Her white blade forming an extention of her .. of her arm dispatched many enemy but yet they still come. Moving toward the front line .. blaster bolts began to shower upon her, she moved to deflect them, abandoning Vaapad for the moment, in order to protect herself. It was at this moment she notice a figure among them, which made Iella stop and look on in disbelief ... Master Sochi Ru, leading the enemy?

An overwhelming sense of darkness engulfed her at this point, making her buckle under it weight, she had to get out of there or be over run by the enemy. Her mind disconnected with the seeming betrayal of her friend. Turning Iella, ran back toward her ship, with the intention of making her way to the Temple. A shot rang out as she retreated, a bolt from a blaster, hitting Iella on the side, searing the flight suit and burning her skin, it was graze but the pain made her scream out with pain and fall to the ground.

 

[Garza]

I was fighting them at the front door. Even with the roaring of the men rushing in, I could get hints about a plan to stop the flow. And I knew that it would be soon. I pushed the Jedi apprentice back behind me. he was going to go back behind and help with the other effort as I knew that they would be coming soon. I took a few steps back myself and smiled as I broke the fighting. As almost on que. A pillar was thrown. I ducked as the stone literally brushed the back of my head blocking the door partly.

I could hear the voice of Aika as she said to fortify the front entrance. As on the command, I yelled, "Dral" On the command the twin warbeasts and K1-LLR came to stand off to my left as others stood on either side of me in front of the door. With both lightsabers standing out I looked behind me to see a Familiar face of [member="Asaak Tey"] and a few others, Including the Earlier jedi apprentice helping me at the front.

I could hear growls as the Gormak were trying to get over. yelling with a voice amplified with the force, "Hold this Line! This is where we Stand. As Jedi, As Brothers, Sisters, Masters and Apprentices. Because here We FIGHT!" And that's when I could see the first man pop his head up from the makeshift berm from the broken pillar.

[Mother Askani]

When she walked she only dragged her lightsaber behind her, searing the land itself. The horde scrambled all around her, and every time she was approached by the enemy her strength in the force was realized by the way she easily dispatched her opponents. Not too long after slamming two opposing souls into the ground, and she grunted and looked up at the dark, and stormy sky. For moments she allowed the water to graze over her body. She had discarded her robes for a one piece dress that was form fitting, it seemed ancient in appearance. Then she noticed her, a Jedi, her head slowly moved from looking into the sky to laying praying its eyes upon her. She stood there watching on as the woman looked on in disbelief. Sochi then took on an ominous, and sinister grin that showed her naturally sharp and pointed teeth.

When she took off away from the heat of battle, Sochi followed her, why had she run? These were questions she wanted answered, surely she wasn't frightened by her appearance. She followed the Jedi Master, still dragging her lightsaber on the ground, as it hissed from contact with the rain. When the Master would look behind her from recovering from her wound, she would see the hollowness that was her enemy standing behind her.

"There...there, surely your not going to let a tiny little blaster bolt bring you down. From what I sense your one of the most powerful here. Hehehe." the voice she had was that of Sochi's, but sounded of many. What had she become?

Iella pushed her body off the ground with her hands, the Great Life Jewels implanted in her body began to fill her with their warmth and healer. The pain of the burn from the bolt gone and her skin knitted, energy returned to full strength and she stood up. Standing now in the mud the rain falling around her and soaking her flight suit and matting her long blonde hair to her head and face, she turned to face Master Ru. For a moment, she stood here just looking at the woman. Her words touching her ears but they are hollow, they are not that of her friend.

Removing all emotions from her heart and mind, clearing her vision in judgement, Iella reached out through the force and connected to the landscape. The battle continued around them, as if they are in a bubble not advancing in their direction. Iella's weaving force threads, moved toward Master Ru and as they reached her, the presence of the darkside is felt, her blade the White Dragon began to pulse with the hunger of the darkside. Unique it is in this, as it tells Iella of any dark side presence, the blade connected to her pleading to be satiated of it hunger.

The woman Iella knows is not present, her body is that of her friend but not the mind.

However, Iella stayed her blade and spoke to Sochi through telepathy. "Who are you?", she asked the presence, "I demand to know identity ... ". Iella raised her blade in a defensive postion, in case of attack from this unknown foe possessing the Jedi Master. "Order you soldiers to stand down!". Iella is stalling for time and to see what can be done to rid this evil.

 

[CHANI]

The Kiffar stood there watching through a fighter pilot helmet, one eye peering around the main entrance, despite the pain and the force holding her together a warm feeling of calm washed over her a moment before leaving just as sudden, the crystal? a Jedi? These thoughts fluttered out of her mind as she simply stared at everything happening in slow motion and like a holo-vid suddenly in fast forward, coordination, confrontations, injuries abound. Her thoughts were quite clouded, the portion of her head being held together by the helmet began to seer with pain as her grip on the force weakened, bobbing in an out of consciousness despite standing on her feet. She wanted to claw at the massive injury to make it stop, anything but this, Chani cried a little under the helmet but the salty tears stung.

[Mother Askani]

She smiled, the voice of the master reaching out impressed her, in fact it began to reconsider the one it had chose. She took a step forward, and poked out her bottom lip, she really contemplated answering this woman's question, but she didn't want to be rude. Then she turned her head to look upon the blade of the woman.

"I'm your friend, Sochi. Don't you recognize me? We've been through so much together..you must remember." she said in a mocking voice, though she presented it seriously. She took another step closer to the woman. She began to begin the process of blocking the telepathy, though it wouldn't be easy. In response to the Master entering her head, she projected a high pitched scream within her mind to combat the telepathy.

She began to take another step closer, but this one met resistance, from no one other than herself. There was a brief moment, where the darkness she was subsided and gave way to a beacon of light. Her head lowered for a moment, and then Sochi looked up to see Iella,

"Iella...I've failed." and the voice, and beacon faded. This angered her extremely and so she lashed out at the master. She lashed out at the master running towards her and bring her cerulean blade in an downward arc at the woman. Her laugh of many voices filed the area.

[Connor Harrison]

There was a defence happening outside the Temple, and he had done his part inside. He had to get out there to help the others. He was a blade, a defining sword, to be wielded against the darkness and he wasn't afraid to face his destiny.

[member="Xander Carrick"] could be heard in a resounding cry to hold the line, and that was what he must do. Pushing outwards through a smashed window, impeded by a wall of debris, Connor pushed himself through into the blaring light of day, the rain from above and smoke from the side mixing to paint a dirty, chaotic picture before him.

Flexing his grip on the hilt, Connor exhaled softly as he ignited his blue blade for the first real time in battle with the Silver Jedi. Time to put the training to good use; time to become that defining sword.

Running towards Xander and batted away a blaster bolt in his Soresu stance, proud to be fighting alongside his Order.

"If only we could have met in better circumstances, my friend!" Connor offered a small smile as he took position.

[Garza]

I smiled as the Gormak started to come out of the rubble. "Rangers Take Aim!" When there was a good number of them out of the rubble, I yelled again, "FIRE!" I could hear a chorus of blaster fire ranging from heavy repeaters, rifles, blaster, and all in between. Knocking the oncoming soldiers down and or killing them. But in the lull of the fighting, The forces had regrouped. With my white flaming lightsaber, I raised it and then lowered it as quick as I could. "FIRE AT WILL!" And once more, There was a chorus of blaster fire that seemed to never end. I looked to my sides as I saw other Jedi lining up to fight in this battle. I shut off my yellow lightsaber to best used the Juyo lightsaber form, mixed with a little Djem-So.

I heard a man's voice to my side. After looking, I saw the face of [member="Connor Harrison"]. A padawan that I had read a file about, but never had the honor of meeting yet. I nodded to him as his blue lightsaber flahsed to life. "Yes, perhaps after we can talk about those terms." I looked my eyes upon the Gormak once more. and I knew that they were holding back for some reason. And all at once. There was an explosion.

WHile we had been preparing, They had set up charges of explosives against the pillar to blow it up. And once the dust had been thrown into the air, The first few men charged. My face broke into a smile as I took a single step forwards. "JEDI! You time has come to take action. Fight with me to protect not just a Temple. But fight to protect our home!" I smiled and shook my head, "I can feel it in your hearts, The very fear that would be the death of me, And there will come a time when the heart of the Jedi may fall, BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!" I raised my silver lightsaber into the air, Proclaiming to the entire Galaxy if I had to. "RISE, SOULS OF THE SILVER JEDI!" I let my arm fall, and I rushed forward. Leading the Charge to the Gormak at the doors. Letting my lightsaber cleave down upon the first to perish.

[Dalur]

Dalur had thought it best to take cover, his limited skills would only be a hinderance it seemed. But the urge to help overcame him eventually and he stormed outside, lightsaber in hand with its bright green blade ignited. His youngling training of deflecting blaster bolts kicked in, as he prevented himself from being hit on his journey to the frontline. Once there, his blade met with the enemy, slicing through them and fighting alongside the other Jedi. So this is battle... He thought to himself. Battle had never presented itself near him until this moment, and he sure as hell didn't want to die here. His eyes caught [member="Xander Carrick"] who seemed to be leading this charge. A True Jedi. Dalur thought, but quickly returned his attention to the battle.

 

[Connor Harrison]

The Gormak crumpled against the Temple wall with a satisfying crunch, propelled by a heavy Force enhanced push from Connor, suddenly turning to deflect a blaster bolt from an advancing hostile.

Connor could take this; he had the power behind him.

He turned to the left to avoid the heavy fire coming towards him, and Connor pushed himself upwards, vaulting over the Gormak and bringing down the blue blade into his shoulder, slicing through out of his ribcage, ending his life in a second.

Getting his bearings, Connor backed up again towards the excitable [member="Dalur"], showing his passion for the Order in his own actions which was admirable to see. A smile crossed his face at the energy he showed.

"We can do this, brothers! Stand strong - become one together and we can drive them back!"

He twirled the hilt in his hand, readying himself for the next enemy to make a move.

A stabbing pain suddenly erupted in his head; darkness and fear. His eyes squeezed shut for a moment, gritted teeth fighting the shockwave erupting from his mind. Connor shook his head, getting his composure ready again.

"Did any of you feel that...?

[Damien Mercer]

Unfortunately, William's ship was rather out of the way, and all he could hear was blasters going everywhere. "R3, patch in to the temple comms, I'm trying to work and their training is very loud..." The droid beeped louder than usual, it's head spinning from side to side. "What do you mean they're under attack? Kark... Well I'm no Jedi, might aswell get to safety." He started towards the cockpit, but his small droid rolled infront of him, beeping again. "Maybe you're right... Patch me into the comms, they're bound to have people who need evac." His droid moved, inserting itself into the ship's systems and activating a communications link between the cockpit and the temple. "Is anyone there? I've got a ship that can evac if needed." The Oblivion kicked into power, rising up from the ground and giving William a view of the battle. "That's if you have a back entrance... I doubt I can land in that..." William waited for a reply, activating his forward shields incase the enemy tried to shoot him while he waited. Come on... There's got to be someone...

 

[Connor Harrison]

Pulling his saber from a broken piller Connor managed to slash in an attack against a lone Gormak, his com beeped, and he heard the static voice of an unknown around him via other com-links.

Pulling it from his belt, the dry blood decorating his hand, he hit the com-button and spoke as quickly as possible.

"Whoever you are, this is Connor Harrison of the Silver Jedi. You either take a risk to land outside the front of the Temple and we can help you in, but that could be a suicide run. The rear of the Temple is clear but you'll have to navigate the gardens. To be honest, if that's the best spot for you to land, it's the least of our worries for any help you can provide. Over."

He looked to the sky, praying to whoever was out there to make good speed.

[member="William Trager"]

 

[Damien Mercer]

"Very well, get anyone who needs evac to the back, I'll get there ASAP." His relief showed in his voice, as he left the comm link open incase others were to talk. The Oblivion made a sharp turn, moving forwards and around the temple to the back. There, he circled the gardens, trying to find the best spot to land. It only took him a few seconds to do so, as there was an opening close enough to the back entrance to make it easy for any escapees to reach. His ship slowly touched down in the opening, it's legs extending out to support the landing and it's ramp dropping for people to enter. William wasted no time, unholstering his pistol and making his way to the ramp. "R3, activate the turret. You see any of those... things... shoot." The Astromech droid beeped, making its way back into the ship's system. Now William waited...

 

[Nesheph]

In her ear she would hear all communications all frequencies. Not a word would be spoken, all that matter to her was staying in the shadows, as if the will of the force took full a hold of her acting with out though, her training was kicking in. Finding herself high in one of the trees they only thing could be see was her piercing blue eyes, which seen to be about to see all that was in the dark. Having turn on the night vision in her contacts. Then came the flood of darkness over her, riding as if one surfing using it to fuel herself in the shadow of the night. Watching just for what know one but she knew, there it was off to the side that caught her eye, forming a plan, as knowing that these where just scouts to test there defense. One would look up at a time, only they would see was something flow along high in the air like a natural creatures that creep these forest at night.

At the last second before landing softly upon the on the dirt ground of Voss, came a snap then a hiss seeing that there was a a almost black blade come to life, as it cut into the flash of the would be attackers far from the main group. After making short work with out a sound to be carry from non of the creature again. Using force speed flowing over the towars one of the man one that she knew what he did for the temple, she knew more then those around everything their likes and dislikes what they ate what there hopes and dreams where. Out of the shadow that had blended into came whisper into [member="Xander Carrick"], her voice was very different sounding now as if never heard her true voice, as spoke into ear being right behind him over his shoulder. ((you need some jedi, or others bodies on your 11 o'clock they are testing our defence to flank us.))

As she moved off to yet another one as she wouldn't let her voice be heard on the commlinks, even those she had one in her ear, was listening to all the chatter. [member="Connor Harrison"] This one was different there he was knowing that could speak to him through the force being a bond there, as spoke to him. (( My brother at arms I will be in back lurking in the shadows to keep those would be attackers at bay don't shoot the one with the blacken sliver light saver its a sister not a foe))

With that she moved off like that of stocker after her prey she had done so many times, letting herself flow over the ground into the trees where she rested to watch from above, to see out anything that would move around the landing area, she would be the hunteress they would became her prey.

[Garza]

I led the charge into the battle. Cleaving people into pieces. Fighting all that I could. Slamming my fist into the helm of a man, With the aid of the force, I caved in the man's skull and sent him flying back as though he were a blaster bolt himself. My White flame lightsaber had no ordinary blade shadow. Where most others would have the glow, mine had an unnatural fire look to it. As though white flames were the essence of the lightsaber. I let this blade cut people, pierce them in the chest and stomach, or cut them in pieces.

There was a man who was carrying a sword of some kind. As I came to him, We clashed blades. A lightsaber resistant material stopped my lightsaber from cutting him in pieces. I shut off my blade, and as like others before him, His balance was shifted and he tumbled forwards. Only to be stabbed in the stomach with my blade, and with a flick of my wrist, the white lightsaber cut up through the top of his body. As the man dropped to the ground, A woman, Hidden from any appearance of a kind, spoke to me in a whisper. I could see the black lightsaber that the held in her hand, Exactly opposite of that which I had. I nodded to her for her thanks of scouting out the people. As she moved to Connor, I did as well.

"[member="Connor Harrison"] I need you to take over the charge!, Don't let me down here! I'll take some men to the back should they flank us." With the force, I yelled out, "Dharma!" at that command, the Twin Warbeasts and K, my companion rushed to my side after killing a few of the soldiers themselves. Following me as I went to the back where the other entrance of the Temple may be. Walking towards the back, I carried my lightsaber, and since it was only us here, I activated my yellow lightsaber once more so I could defend against more than one soldier at once. here I would use Djem-So to redirect blaster fire back at the men. Reaching the back in a few seconds, I knew that this battle was well underway.

[Slot 9]

Ilanthria blocked blaster fire from hitting a youngling behind her. The two Jedi with her were in the heat of the fight. They were doing their best to drive the Gormaks back, but as their numbers grew, their hope began to fade. Ilanthria cut down one who'd ventured to close to the children. As she fought, she was struck with a sudden realization. The darkness... The presence they had all felt... It was here. And in the form of another... A crestfallen sigh escaped her lips as she tilted her head down slightly. Sochi Ru had fallen into corruption. Ilanthria's mind came back to the present a moment later. She watched as one of the Jedi was stabbed through the chest. His cries were short, pained. The other Jedi pushed them back with the Force, yet still, they surrounded him. She did not have to see him die to feel it in the Force. The youngest of the children covered their mouths or screamed or began to cry. Ilanthria sent a wave of calmness over them all. "We must be strong, dear ones. For the fallen." She focused her attention on the oncoming horde. "Those of you who are skilled enough, come stand with me," She said to the padawans. All six of the older children came and stood next to her. "It brings me great grief to ask you to do this. But I need your help. We must protect the younger ones. Your masters have taught you well. Today, we will make them proud." She looked back at the smaller ones. "Continue to focus, dears. Remember. The shield is impenetrable. Nothing can harm us as long as we stand together." As the eldest padawans activated their lightsabers, Ilanthria sent a huge shockwave at the Gormaks. The first large group of them were blasted all the way back to the door while the others were knocked off their feet. The seer force of the shockwave shook the temple ground a little.

 

[Aeron Zambrano]

The Gormak were upon them and it seemed that her fellow Jedi were rallying, a second wave of determination filling their ranks! As a group, they were so young, had barely had time to realize themselves – they couldn’t fall! And she couldn’t keep thinking of [member="Sochi Ru"] out there, a pale imitation of herself…

But just as she was about to rush out of the chokepoint to assist her fellow Jedi in defending the Temple…she felt a stab of sadness, followed by a second, from somewhere deeper in the Temple. There was a moment of fear from a group and she realized – the younglings! But someone was protecting them…

She looked out at her friends and realized they were all fighting their hardest, holding back the line and she made her decision. Turning and rushing up the stairs she followed that stab of sadness, the pull in the Force of the younglings holding together a shield around themselves. She could barely hear the sounds of turmoil outside over the thump-thump thump-thump of her heartbeat but the Force guided her to the back of the Temple. Just as she was approaching, [member="Ilanthria"] ’s force blast shook the ground, making Asaak almost lose her footing. She didn’t stop her headlong sprint, holding herself up with the wall before opening the door…only to find a lot of angry Gormak between herself and the younglings.

Her lightsaber ignited in her hand, her body a graceful blur of Makashi ripostes as she assisted her fellow Jedi in protecting their future.

[GalacticNiv]

A wave of relief washed over Ace as he watched Jedi after Jedi pour out of the temple entrance, leaping onto the battle field. With the ignition of their ligthsabers, the battle was already half-won. Turning, the man would glance at his two fallen comrades, both caught in the head by blaster bolts. Their bodies still layed their, as the continous bolts of energy shot over nearby. It was a clear reminder that the battle was not over yet. Propping his blaster rifle atop his rocky cover, the soldier would click the trigger, allowing a volley of energy bolts to spray from it's barrel, travelling across the field to offer the Jedi surpressing fire wherever they needed it. There were many warriors on the field, resulting in Ace having to aim and fire at different positions continuously, in intervals. There were eight soldiers left, all members of Ace's Ranger squad. They were no elites, but they were here to protect the Order they were devoted to. The Gormaks really were relentless. It was almost scary, though once again Ace's job was to be fearless.
Peaking out from their cover every few moments, the soldiers would continue to unleash their bolts against the warrior creatures, taking them out one by one. The loud crack of the sniper would be heard as it released it's bolt, taking out yet another enemy.

 

[Rasu Gan]

Rasu turned, having heard the grunts of Gormak in the direction of the Temple. Fearing the worst, she broke off into a run, her lightsabers igniting with a hiss, as yellow and green blades hungrily cut their way through the hordes of Gormak separating herself from the Jedi in the Temple. Rasu continued her assault, ducking, slicing and weaving as she carved her way closer and closer to the Temple entrance, where she could already see the Gormak attempting to the breach the entrance hall, the wide doors sealed shut. Rasu sighed in slight relief, as she jumped over the vibrosword of a particularly large Gormak grunt, knowing that those inside would be safe for now. Bringing her sabers up, she brought it colliding with the vibro blade, cleaving through the metal like scissors to paper, leaving the burning stump of a weapon remaining in the scaly hand of the grunt. Reaching out with her hand, she sent the Gormak flying, pushed backwards with a heavy force push, sending him into a group of his brethren, leaving them in a heap, dazed and injured.

Filling herself with the Force, she flung herself into action, leaping into the midst of a large group of Gormak. Weapons ablaze, she swung, dancing with her sabers until all that remained was a severed mess. Breathing heavily, Rasu switched off her lightsabers, however keeping a tight hold on the hilts, not sure whether more of the crazed sentient's might attack her. It was then that she felt a strange sensation through the Force, followed by a immense burst of pain that brought her to her knees. Bringing her hands up to her head, she cringed as her mind was inflicted with an endless serving of torture. What is going on? she thought, standing up shakily as the pain subsided. Reaching out through the Force, she caught a trace of the source, shocked to find that it originated not on Voss but somewhere else, deep in the galaxy. Hasjo? Sensing the Nautolan's force signature, Rasu ventured further, brushing past his consciousness, before jerking back, falling to the ground again as the Jedi's force scream echoed throughout her mind. The Knight was in deep pain, and it pained the Shi'ido even more knowing that she was unable to help him. Stretching out towards the Nautolan's conscious again, she dwelled deeper within, trying to offer some comfort, however she was pulled in by the man's agony, dragging her deeper and deeper into his pain. Rasu twinged and fought against the hold of Jedi, pulling her mind out with equal force to being pulled in. Panic hit her as darkness began to cloud her vision, and with one last final effort, she released her hold and withdrew deep within herself, allowing the darkness to consume her. Rasu lay there, among the corpses of the Gormak, as still as the sentient's she had maimed.

"Ra...Rasu..I've failed, there's a darkness that has arrived. It has weakened me, I....I don't have much strength to keep this link open...Sel Ma...Makor." The form of Sochi appeared in the woman's mind, her black, emotionless eyes staring coldly into the Shi'ido's. Her mouth remained close, even as the Togruta's words echoed in Rasu's mind, leaving the woman confused. Who was the Togruta in front of her, if not her friend? A dark, sinister smile formed upon the creatures lips, as her hands rose towards the Shi'ido. A frightening snarl erupted from the Togruta's mouth as she leaped towards Rasu, screaming at her "THIS PLANET IS MINE."

Rasu woke with a start, her chest rising in heavy breathes as the sound of battle continued to pound around her. The image of Sochi still lingered in her mind, as if she could still picture the woman standing in front of her, that deep, menacing grin plastered on her face. Rising from her position, she opened her mind to the Force once more, her body freezing as it came in contact with one semi-familiar presence. Sochi? she thought, stretching out further to confirm her suspicions. Breaking out into a sprint, she headed in the direction of her friend, the desperation of the situation feeding her sore body. Leaping over Gormak and Jedi alike, she kept her attention solely focused on the twin inter-linked presence of Sochi and her dark visitor, strapped tightly to her body as its vessel. As she approached, she gripped her saber hilts tighter, catching sight of the red and white body of [member="Sochi Ru"] and another, her blonde hair flowing in the wind, [member="Iella E'ron"]. Rasu watched in horror as Sochi swung her own weapon upon the Jedi Master, hands reaching out instinctively to grasp the Togruta through the Force and hopefully bringing a halt to the attack mid-swing, protecting both Sochi and Iella. "Sochi don't do this." she called out to the Togruta, her voice sounding weak, after her desperate run to the current location. The rain pouring down around them was doing a fantastic job of hiding the beginning of her tears.

[Slot 9]

Ilanthria avoided a Gormak's blade as it swung at her, bending backward as it nearly missed her neck. "Asaak, you came not a moment too soon," She said. She forced two more of the vile creatures backward. Alas, she was not the strongest saber user. She stood back-to-back with [member="Asaak Tey"] . "The darkness we have all been sensing has arrived. Sochi Ru has been taken from us, and replaced with a sinister force.
