Armor. Shrugging it on always made her late to the game. That or Koin's constant daddy-ing. First, he was not even her father, since her father had been a murderous crazy person. Second, she wasn't sixteen anymore and could fight when and where she damn well pleased.

Which happened to be on the ground, stopping the Galactic Alliance from getting trashed by the Sith. People would think pirates didn't have any scruples. Generally, they'd be right. But Sith crossed the line, even for her kind of company.

So she came stomping into the middle of the hangar while her crew, caught unaware by the attack, prepped the shuttle for launch.

The pock-marked armor, its black and gold surface marred and warped by more than a few firefights, hid her identity sure as any mask. Mandalorians might have lost their reputation for hell incarnate, but nobody liked dealing with their armor.

To her right, some blonde punk dealing with a snot-vampire. And right in front of her? A squad of stormtroopers. Finding cover behind a cargo crate, she leveled her sidearm at one of the stormtroopers and squeezed off two shots. Where they hit didn't really matter, as this particular brand of stun gun tended to knock out anyone it touched, especially since the silvery beams went straight through armor.

Damian was still lying on the ground when he saw the transports moving in. He stood up and reached a hand out bringing his fallen lightsaber to him. In his offhand his stun blaster remained.

He wanted to run. He should run. One against twelve was not fair odds. Sure he’d fought two sith masters and came out alright, and sure he’d defeated this Anzati Sith today, but he didn’t underestimate the soldiers coming for him. The graveyards were willed with men and women who underestimated their opponents.

With a quirk of the brow he began to brush himself off and ignited the purple blade of his saber. “Damian Starchaser,” he said introducing himself as he approached the woman's side. “I won’t let a blaster bolt hit you.”

And that kids is how I met your ....... Aunt Kate.

Honestly things got all kinds of crazy real quick. One second she was checking out her nice shiny new dress. The next, some damn plumb fool was trying to break down her door and get to shooting!

Well no sir! Not on her watch!

Granted she didn't quite have the chance to change, so she did the best she could and simply began to toss a wrench at the Sith's head. It was so unexpected, that it bopped him right against the temple.

He wasn't too happy about that.....Where in the blazes is that morp gun Bobo?!

Commence the search!

The blaster bolts had hit, causing the male to grunt. Contact then, and damage, but who knew how much. He'd take what he could get though. The injured Sith quickly closed with the Padawan, his own violet blade arcing out towards Audren's red one. Ironic colors. It was difficult to tell while occupied, but the enemy's blade seemed to be longer than normal: Audren felt a bit off-balance as he wasn't close enough to actually land a strike on the man. Regardless, the Padawan's blade moved to block each of his opponent's strikes. Sometimes he barely made it in time, but he didn't yet have to consciously delve into precognition.

As his strength was evident, his weaknesses were used against him. Such was to be expected, fighting two against one. Without warning, a vise closed around his throat, cutting off his ability to breathe. The female, most likely. He kept up his swordplay but knew that to try and respond to the woman would be to open himself up for attack from the man. Hopefully one of the other Jedi presences around would come to his aid. And soon, as he had only seconds of action remaining. That aid came to be in the form of two others that he could barely sense past the combat and lack of oxygen. He was already starting to slow.

Hopefully their efforts would be enough.

Darth Azurea's hold on the light-haired Jedi was broken by Padawan Tso's wave of telekinesis that knocked her off her foot. She hit the ground with an "oof!" but pulled herself up from her stomach to her hands and knees. Aside from a few scrapes, she was not hurt, but the unintended effect of landing in the dirt was that the rock of Knight Shai missed hitting her. From her semi-prone position, she could tell that another lightsider - a stronger one - had joined the fray.

Rising, Azurea ignited her two lightsabers. Leaving Knight Mullarus to the padawan she had been choking, she telepathically connected with him: I'll take the newcomer.

The front of her robe covered in dirt from her fall, she faced the Jedi Knight. "You have my attention," she said in a husky growl.

 

[Sabena Shai]

“Good,” replied Sabena to [member="Darth Azurea"] with a smirk despite a furrowed brow.

Then, Sabena pointed her lightsaber blade momentarily at [member="Niall Tso"].

“You did well! Now please help him!” she told Niall as she gestured her lightsaber toward [member="Audren Sykes"] and [member="Knight Mullarus"], “I can handle this!”

With one fluid motion, Sabena then moved her lightsaber from her left hand to right. She stood upright with her lightsaber near her hip - pointing outward. Compared to Azurea, Sabena was just a couple inches taller. Sabena also wore robes just as Azurea - though with distinctly lighter browns and tans as per Jedi standard.

Making a move first, Sabena crouched down into a three-point stance. She pressed her left palm firmly on the ground. She raised her lightsaber up and to the side. The Force flowed through her. Dirt and rocks surrounding Azurea began to shake - subtle at first, but steadily growing with time.

“You better move,” she warned Azurea.

Mullarus and the light-haired padawan clashed blades. Already, the dark-haired Knight could tell the student of the lightside was having some trouble keeping up. What caught Mullarus off-guard was when he heard his companion be shoved to the ground behind him, followed shortly by a telepathic message telling him she would take the newcomer. Along with this was the apparent 'newcomer', stronger than the other two that had attacked the two Sith, was directing the other jedi padawan to him. Mullarus' gaze was kept on the padawan he had already engaged, gritting his teeth at the thought of having to deal with another one. He wasn't exactly comfortable with dealing with more than one foe at a time, but he figured if they were both students, he should be okay.

He gave his large, greatsword-like crossguard lightsaber a twirl, "Don't be so afraid, jedi. Fear leads to the Dark Side, remember? Can't have that. You need to be bound in your chains forever." With that, Mullarus reached out with a Force Grip, a large invisible hand reaching out to grab Padawan Sykes by the ankle. If that were successful, Mullarus would attempt to go bowling with the Padawan by throwing him into Padawan Tso, who was behind him when the Jedi Knight directed him towards his fight with Sykes. Mullarus would groan as he tried to throw the Padawan, already starting to worry for Darth Azurea, who was now facing a Jedi Knight while carrying the child in her womb. The thought stressed him out, but she was a Sith Lord for a reason. She could probably handle one Jedi Knight. Better to worry about the two Padawans engaged to him, now.

The heat inside of the suit of armor began to make Decimus sweat as he approached the battle ground. Two shots from a blaster glided to soldier directly on his left. Crap, they have blasters, was the first thing that crossed Decimus' mind after witnessing his fellow Trooper fall to the ground. Well, it seems like they were walking into a firefight. The commander of the squad looked straight into the direction of the blaster fire. No expression could be seen under his shiny helmet. Was he wearing a smirk upon his face as he sent his troops into battle, or did he wear an expression of fear?

The question would never be answered as Decimus heard a shout arise from the man he was so recently affixed on. "Our target is the soldier on the ledge, on the count of three, fire." Decimus tightened his grip on his blaster and raised it towards the origin of the shot. His breathing slowed, and eventually he found his mark. "One." The shooter appeared to be a girl. "Two." Some blonde guy was approaching her. He looked like he was on her side. Wait, was that a lightsaber? "Three!" The sound of blaster fire filled the air, breaking Decimus' concentration. As a soldier, he blindly listened to the instructions of his commander. He pulled his trigger over and over at the target, hoping that they reached her. If not, they would be met with return fire.

Suddenly the captain shouted "Stop!" It almost sounded like something wasn't right.

As he'd gotten closer to the bacta factory, Garivald had felt something... different about the area to his left. He could feel a strong tug inside himself, drawing him towards there. Before he'd noticed he was standing outside a courtyard... and watched as six people fought; wielding lightsabers.

He could feel a sort of chaotic malevolence coming from a man and woman who were fighting against four others almost peaceful in nature. Not sure how he was feeling these things that he did; he was sure about two things. The first being that the man and woman were Sith fighting against what seemed to be Jedi. The second was that the Sith were slowly loosing the fight.

If he could cause a distraction... maybe draw some of the attention away, they could gain the advantace. What the frell was he thinking?! What could he do in a fight between force users?!

"I gotta have a death wish or something, cause I can't believe I'm frekking doing this!"

Closing his eyes, Garivald breathed in deeply. Slowly unhostering his infantry rifle, he released his breath and opened his eyes. Taking cover behind some nearby debris, he switched to auxiliary ammo. Taking careful aim, he fired a grenade where it landed a couple feet behind [member="Niall Tso"], then took cover again.

"Thanks," came the muffled reply, but Kate didn't stand up from her combat ready crouch behind the cargo crate.

One of the eggheads had gone down to her stun bolts and now the stormtroopers were leveling their rifles on them. "Looks like your promise is about to get tested, hero."

Kate ducked behind the cargo crate as a volley of searing plasma leapt from the enemy squad and shrieked through the air. Blaster bolts tore into the permacrete, throwing up sparks and the spray of shattered rock. The cargo crate shuddered under multiple impacts. She grunted as a bolt punched through the crate and clipped her right cauldron, jerking her shoulder backward. Kate hissed and bit back a curse.

The pirate stuck her sidearm out and fired a series of three shots, hoping to make them at least duck for cover. Again, none of the shots were actually lethal, as the weapon was set to stun, but they would pass easily through armor.

Whatever the others had done to the woman worked: Audren was no longer being choked to death. In fact, the female was no longer focusing on him at all. Drinks for those two were on him, presuming they all survived. There came the slight feel of annoyance from the Sephi's opponent, then a twirling of the purple blade and - shockingly - speech.

"Don't be so afraid, Jedi. Fear leads to the Dark Side, remember? Can't have that. You need to be bound in your chains forever."

This was no time for a philosophical debate. The instant that the Sith had stopped attacking, the Padawan had started mentally casting around for his pistol. He hadn't made the thing, had no real 'connection' to it per se, but he'd carried it for some time now. He knew the difference between it and debris. He found it just as a Grip closed around his ankle. He left it, didn't move it, simply marked where it was at within his own mind. Then his foot came up off the ground, followed swiftly by the rest of him. Headed straight for the friendly Jedi behind him.

With his free hand, Audren gestured...at the ground. Force-based telekinesis pushed him further up from the ground and kept him horizontal. The Sith's efforts had him moving back still, and thus his feet found the wall of the bacta factory, resting against it like it was a floor. That was temporary - less than a second in length - as his knees bent to absorb the force. They straightened back out again, sending him hurtling back at his opponent with lightsaber poised to strike or stop an attack. This was something he'd never have been able to do prior to his training, but the free-running through the forest definitely contributed to how smoothly it went.

If all went well, the Padawan would end up on the other side of the Sith, having either struck or blocked a strike at him. And the nice coincidence of avoiding the grenade that had complicated the game. Hopefully the other Jedi could work well enough with what he'd done.

Niall nodded to Tiland as she told him to focus on the lesser of two evils. Niall was weaponless at the moment, traveling incognito would be hampered by carrying a lightsaber, and he had never taken to blasters. As he turned toward Knight Mullarus, he saw Audren be pulled from his feet and flung into the air right at himself. Niall, still in his teras kasi stance, took the scene in, noticed Audren push off of the ground with the force to miss Niall. He turned and thought a moment about what to do about the sith knight, he doubted an understrength force shove would be ass effective when it wasn't a surprise, so he decided to try to bring the knight into a hand-to-hand contest.

Nodding to himself, Niall crouched a bit and focused on the force flowing through him. He blocked out his emotions and forced a calm upon himself as he readied to charge the sith knight. Niall didn't see the grenade arcing over his head to land behind him. He had a momentary flash of danger, instantly diving away from the danger, not knowing what it was. The explosion pushed his dive roll into an uncontrolled tumble. He skidded and scrapped along the ground until he came up against a planter box that had been used for flowers at some point, but was now trampled through enough to make it just a box of dirt. Without checking himself over, Niall leapt up and dove over the planter box, putting the dirt and concrete behind him. He then checked himself over. Nothing was broken, but he had several bone deep bruises along his chest, and cuts galore. His clothing would be ruined, but that didn't really matter. He forced himself to focus again, shoving the anger aside as he sought the signature of the person who had attacked. It was another force user, dark like the other two, though this one obviously was using ranged weapons. He'd have to shorten the distance to cut out that advantage.

After spending the momentary eternity that was any thought process in battle, he bounded up again and faced Garivald. He began to walk toward the Sith Acolyte, pushing his anger down to try to find his calm, reaching out to the force to use to defend himself while he closed.

Looking up from cover, Garivald watched as one of the Jedi leaped backwards beyond what was feasible for a human. Defying gravity, he landed feat first against a wall and propelled himself towards the male Sith.

Blinking in disbelief, Garivald turned to look to look at the one he'd launched a grenade at.

The Jedi threw himself to the side. The grenade detonating a split-second later, caught the Jedi mid-jump and sent him tumbling across the ground. Ears flicking in excitement, a cold smile started to spread across Garivalds face.

Rising from cover, he paused stunned. The Jedi had risen and leaped over a concrete planter. Although his clothes had been ruined, the Jedi had seemed unharmed.

What in kriffing hell does it take to kill these people!?

Standing up, the Jedi went around the planter, and began walking towards him casually. The sight of him was more than a little unnerving; but was quickly replaced by anger. He was being underestimated, treated as little more than vermin!

Well, he'd make fething sure the Jedi took him seriously. Given the right situation, even vermin could be dangerous.

Raising his rifle, Garivald fired another grenade round at the man. Switching back to live munition he began firing towards the Jedi.

An attack on Thyferra. The only thing Greta knew about Thyferra was that it had a really important factory that produced and manufactured Bacta. The Sith Knight was no stranger to Bacta, the medicine had saved her life once upon a time, and she owed some form of thanks to the green gelatinous slime. The Omen, her personal corvette made its way down to the planet's surface, avoiding any form of hostile action along the way. She wasn't what you would call a great pilot, but that didn't matter, as she wasn't the only piloting the ship anyway. The ship had its own crew for that. In the meantime, Greta prepared for what she may face on the surface by suiting up in her war armour. Reports have been given to her that a war was raging fiercely down on the surface, and Jedi would no doubt be present.

Clad in a black bodysuit, with the plates of obsidian phrik and hardened spacer's leather a layer above, Greta completed the outfit with a set of charcoal black robes. The Sith knight cradled her helmet in her arms as she watched the ship's descent into the planet's surface. The corvette soon landed in a clearing near a grove of trees.

Placing her helmet onto her head, with the airlock sealing with a hiss, she made her exit into the hard, solid ground, one of organic nature rather than the construct of man. As Greta traversed the grove, she felt a presence in the force, one of light, hovering calmly somewhere in the vicinity. It was without a doubt a Jedi, and her lips tightened into a grim smile as she moved towards its source. It wasn't long before she came across an old looking man. At least she thought he was old. His hair was greying and his appearance haggard looking. She saw him kneeling down in the soil, scooping it up in his hands, before wiping it away and standing back up. The Sith knight would then speak, her tone clearly questioning.

"Old man. You're not digging for buried treasure are you? Long-lost Jedi artifact or something?"

It was with cautious curiosity that Kaile would peek out from behind the smoking hatch of her ship. Bobo was now in his nutrient tube within the confines of her backpack, nicely protected there for the time being.

Her morp gun was adjusted to 'humanoid', for a good knock out punch. Here is to hoping that she didn't get into too much trouble. She had the black slinky dress, and while she normally would have enjoyed being a little bit more covered, she knew the fabric was much like spidersilk, protecting her from the basics.

Being undercover didn't mean one would be completely unprotected!

For now, she poked her head out, checking out the sights. Okay... let's see what is going on..

[member="Greta Kohler"]

Tiland froze as he stood. A shadow was stalking him through the pleasant greenery, and this shadow was the kind only nurtured through the Dark Side of the Force. He let out a heavy sigh as the presence grew closer, eventually close enough for him to hear the very heavy foot-prints. Armor, perhaps? He turned to view the figure and nodded slowly. Very heavy armor. His shoulders sagged slightly as the pungent feel of the Dark Side oozed around them, full of its desire to burn and destroy. The grass almost seemed to wilt in its presence.

But she had wit, he had to admit. That was an interesting question and above many of these Dark acolytes he had encountered who were obsessed with death and destruction. So perhaps she was a different sort. He gestured to the grasses that swayed around them.

"These are my buried treasures," His voice was soft, but surprisingly confident. "I am bound to them as you are and so too are we bound. What use are artifacts in light of such relationships?"

It was an honest question, perhaps even more to himself than her, but it was something to consider nonetheless. "And what do you seek? Artifacts of your own?"

Tiland pointed around them with open hands, staff resting against his shoulder. "There are none to be found here."

Darth Azurea wasn't sure what the Jedi planned to do with the earth under her feet. Was she trying to cause an earthquake? Open a rift between them?

Either way, the Sith Lord took the warning to heart and Force jumped high out of the way of whatever type of elemental Force the Jedi was summoning. She landed close to the taller blonde human and swiftly rushed her to attack. With Azurea's two blades in a cross position she slashed at the Jedi Knight, whirling her blades around like a dervish. Darth Azurea was not a quiet opponent. When she allowed rage and anger to overtake her, channeling it into precise Maskahi moves, her vocal chords became reckless. She caterwauled now like a banshee, shrieking and almost snarling like a hungry wolf.

Throwing the Jedi in the direction of the other went well until the student landed against the wall and started flying back in his direction. This was something he had seen before. His Padawan opponent back on Balmorra did this exact same thing to him. This time, Mullarus would not remain still and try to cut the light-haired man mid-air. This time, Mullarus used the Force to leap out of the way, giving his long, violet lightsaber a twirl as he did so.

When the Padawan would land, Mullarus would immediately close the distance between them and began an assault with his own lightsaber, employing Form VII: Juyo strikes against him. The violet blade would seem to strike from every conceivable angle at once. It would certainly be difficult to keep up with, but Mullarus focused too much on venting his aggression. This benefitted the power of his strikes, but not the accuracy, and it would be simple to avoid some of the blows.

Unexpectedly, the Sith opted to move out of the way rather than strike. This of course precluded the Padawan's own attack. He landed into a roll, coming back up on his feet to face his opponent quickly. And it was well that he did: the man was on him almost immediately, purple blade slashing from seemingly every angle.

Audren's own blade flashed in reply. He blocked strike after strike, his Precognition talent allowing him to level the playing field somewhat. But only somewhat. The slashes kept coming in a tireless fashion, and they were strong as well as fast. More and more, the Jedi was finding himself escaping dismemberment by hairs. In fact, there were several strikes where he was saved from partial severing of an arm or hand only by the armor he wore. The smell of singed hair was all too prevalent now, and the Sephi had yet to strike back.

The armor that Audren wore was more than just defensive. It had a few tricks built in, courtesy of its very creative producer. One of those was the grav-glove. As the Sith struck again, the Padawan flexed his fingers in such a way that the glove activated. The various generators on the left hand exerted effort, an attempt to stop - or at least slow - the other man's strike in a critical position. Meanwhile, the Jedi's strike went in at full speed. A half-step forward to bring it into range and a fast, precise slash at the wrist that held the cross-guard lightsaber. Fast and precise in this case traded for strength, but he was hoping the other man's armor wouldn't be lightsaber-resistant.

Whatever the outcome, the Padawan knew he had little time. He was in and out just as the glove battery expired (two seconds), backing away from his opponent and gathering Force power to himself.

This time, Nialls sense of danger and his eyes were focused on the same point. The assailant, some type of felinoid creature, centered the weapon on Niall again and Niall leapt into action. The grenade came out first, but was not the immediate threat, as the cat creature began to fire blaster bolts right after launching the grenade. As grenades need to arc, he had at most three seconds in which the explosive device made out of future bits of superheated pointyness became the main threat, first he had to evade the blaster bolts.

The instant that the grenade left the auxiliary barrel of the weapon, Niall threw himself into a dead sprint angled to his own left (relational to the line between Niall and Garivald). True, there were some who would be able to deflect the blaster bolts with their hands, through the use of tutaminis, but he was not nearly that advanced in the practice. Instead, he had to rely on the force for extra speed. He knew that the cat man would be tracking his movement, possibly spraying blaster bolts as he did. After three steps, Niall came to a low wall that had likely separated one section of the area outside the bacta factory from another. Without pausing for thought, Niall ran up the side of the short wall, then pushed off with a force enhanced leap in the opposite direction, aimed at a forty degree angle up as well. If the cat man was continuing to fire the blaster as he tracked Niall's movement, the bead would likely climb up after him.

At this point, roughly one and a half seconds had passed. The grenade had passed over Niall's head as he ran, but he didn't know the effective range. Turning in the air as he continued his own arc, Niall reached out with the force and pushed with it towards the grenade. This had two effects. The first was to push the grenade even further along its trajectory, taking it out of play as it soared far away. The second was to alter Niall's own trajectory mid flight. Finishing his turn, he hit the ground in an odd shoulder roll. As weight hit the bruised side of his ribs he let out a loud grunt. The fight hadn't really begun yet, so Niall didn't let himself lay there. He rolled to his feet and charged at Garivald, keeping his eye on the weapon to know when he had to evade more. He was only three meters away, but a blaster was really only useless at melee range, so for the moment it was still a threat.

Sorry, I had forgotten about this thread
