It was clear that the Junker that had fired upon Drow wasn't exactly expecting such reflexes or even a lightsaber at all so he only got off a few shots before he stopped in shock, only for a moment. But a moment was all Drow needed to yank the pistol from the Junker's hands with the Force and aim it at the one who had shot at Nara. He could understand his fellow Knight's frustration with him - the Force only knew that he'd had more than his fair share of blood on his hand both in his past and as a Jedi - but Drow was a man trying his best to live up to his personal code. And that meant at least giving non-murder the ole college try.
Drastus' maneuvers worked out beautifully and the Junker was pushing back on the ground, trying to avoid getting his face seared by acid. The Junker that Maiko had hit was protected by the metal and cybernetics that covered his body and wasn't exactly knocked out and, instead, was about to counterattack with a swing of his pike before looking over at the state of his companions. There was a moment of pause.
Drastus and Nara both issued warnings to the other Junkers. The one being held by Drastus over the puddle began babbling in Droidspeak and Drow realized that these poor fools didn't know Basic. Fortunately, he'd picked up more than a little Droidspeak during his time as a mercenary.
"Hang on - they can't understand you!" Drow plead with the other Jedi.
"You're beaten!" Drow switched to Droidspeak, talking to the Junkers at large in a loud voice "There's no need to fight anymore over a hunk of metal."
"You are." the Junker with the rifle who'd shot at Nara pointed out
"We need it to prepare against evil forces. We didn't know it was on your turf and we apologize for intruding." Drow said,
"And we need it to sell. What do you have to offer us?" the Junker leader said. Drow relayed that to his companions in regular Basic. It seemed that a trade was on the table.
