CADINTH
0900 Hours.

The sun had fully risen on the planet of Cadinth. its heat beaming down and reflecting of the landscape of the once beautiful place. The baron deserts, began to cook and scorch as they did everyday, a planet destroyed by the galaxies need for resources, a ruined landscape and a true testament to the results of war.

Still a hub for all those looking to gain resources, many docks are filled with ships as civilians pass on and off the planet regularly looking to purchase what the planet has to offer. One civilian transport however is carrying a cargo of a very different variety however, members of the Sith and the Sacred Band have found their way onto a ship, planning a mission to seize the docks and eventually allow their allies to take the planet. In the top deck, surrounded by civilians a prominent member of the SBZ known as Aria blends in to the crowd, waiting for the ship to land.

Bellow deck, stowed away are two members of the Sith Order, a powerful force sensitive by the name of Hausser and alongside him a fierce armoured juggernaut known only by his peers as Kadeous. They would create the distraction, luring a large portion of the dock's security forces to their location, allowing Aria to get by unnoticed.

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

Ryu forced open the container that he and Hausser had been hiding in. It wouldn't be long until the pair of them felt the shuttle landing and they would have to make their play. Ryu had very little interest in the other cargo on the ship, and proceeded to check his weapons, his armour systems and his vital signs.

"Hausser, I hope you understand how important this mission is." He said, his voice remaining loud even though he tried to whisper.

"When the ship lands, we will need to wait, let Aria get clear before we begin the distraction. There are three docks, the main however is where Aria is going to be going. That is where the control room is." He paused for a moment, to make sure his ally was listening before continuing on.

"We will need to create a diversion in one of the other bays, or both of the other bays. Maybe we could take one each, if your capable of surviving alone that is." Ryu said, smirking under his helmet as he poked fun at the man.

It wasn't long after he finished talking that he felt a jerk as the transport began to slow down. This was it, and as much as this mission relied on him and Hausser, Aria would have to be on top form. She would surely meet a number of guards around the Central docking bay terminal, the entrance. Testing his coms system he patched through to Aria.

"Don't screw this up." He spoke seriously, there was no chance he was going back to Korriban a failure.

It smelled bad. Very bad. Aria hung on to a side support as the ship bumped, jostling the many passengers aboard. Trying to ignore the smell of feet, sweat, and general uncleanliness that hung over the large group of civilians, she tried to focus on the mission ahead of her. She was excited to be out in the field again. She always felt more like her old self when she had clear orders and direction, purpose to her life. She was an important part of this particular mission and felt proud that she'd been selected for it. Apparently she'd impressed some higher up with her hacking skills.

Dressed in tight shorts and shirt in expectation of the planet's desert climate, Aria certainly caught a few glances from some of the other passengers but they weren't suspicious ones. She was glad she wouldn't have to deal much with the two Sith that were on this mission with her. The haughty force users always thought she was naught but cannon fodder and treated her like a dog or a simple minded child. As if. Aria stretched her fingers and patted the small pack that held her claws. A gift from Nataar, the commander of the mercenary ship she used to belong to, they were her most precious belonging and favored weapon in close combat situations. Slightly conspicuous even when the blades were retracted, she had decided to keep them hidden until their use was needed.

Finally the civilian transport ship was about to land. Aria could feel the ship slowing down and all the passengers started getting ready to leave. She casually slung the pack onto her back and followed suit, getting in line to the exit doors. All of a sudden a serious voice sounded from the tiny in-ear comm she wore.

"Don't screw this up."

Aria rolled her eyes at the comment. Figures the Sith were worried about her. They always were. Force users never trust in the abilities of the SBZ members. Well she would show him a thing or two.

"I'm not the one you've got to worry about, sweetheart."

Aria smiled even though the Sith couldn't see her. The transport set down and the doors opened. The passengers departed and entered a massive crowd of others coming and going. Aria followed the flow of people, angling toward her objective, the central docking bay's command center. There were plenty of guards stationed at regular intervals throughout the docks, but none of them gave her a second glance. Smiling to herself, she spoke into the comm to her comrades on this mission, the two Sith.

"I'm clear of the transport and making my way to the objective. Feel free to make your move any time now."

 

[ctrocks307]

Falcon slipped into Forcesight and saw the imminent threat, at least two dark masses of Force power, undoubtedly Sith. He came out of Force sight, he then followed the flow of the people coming off of the ship, accidentally coming close to one of the Sith. Falcon went through his usual gear check. Light armor; check, lightsaber; check, mask; check, keys to the X-wing; check. He then made his way through the crowd of people, his Violet eyes and scar attracting unwanted attention.

 

[Narsi]

Hausser gritted his teeth as Ryu's words echoed inside his head as he walked on his away from his compatriot. It was if the armored man expected everyone except himself to fail. The unwelcome sentiments dredged up old memories regarding his apprenticeship and as Hausser slowly pushed his way through the crowds of people he could hear his ex-masters old words in his head as clear as day, "Don't mess this up."

Hausser angrily shoved the Gossam out of his thoughts and turned his attention back to crowd around him. As a tall figure in a black cloak pulled over his head, he wasn't as inconspicuous as some but with the aide of a few mental pulses, the groups of people ignored him as if he wasn't even there. With a smirk Hausser continued walking deeper into the hanger on the right side, none of these lambs could resist flamboyance of his personality, the sheer force of inspiration contained in his mind. But it didn't matter, as Hausser smiled in anticipation when he finally laid eyes on what he was looking for, a small fighter off to the side away from most people and guards.

"No it doesn't matter," he repeated in himself as he slid through the crowds to rest against the fighter," for today these people will all see the light, the beautiful flickering light." Hausser slowly began to caress the side of the ship, right next to the fuel tank.

------------------------------------------------------------------
When Aria's call for action finally hit his ears, Hausser nearly squealed in excitement. Had he been more focused, a certain aura present in one of the hangers might have received more attention but he was deep in his craft now. With a disturbing grin Hausser used the force to rip open the ships fuel lines and taking a moment to appreciate the sudden attention of the crowd, he dashed for a position of cover behind another ship shoving startled civilians to the side. With a flick of his wrist, he sent a small spark careening towards his handiwork and stuck his bald head out from cover to watch as a blazing ball of fire exploded outwards on the far right side of the hanger.

 

[Tsunami]

Ryu couldn't help but wonder what this dude's issue was as he wondered off out of the cargo hold they were hiding in. Ryu waited for a moment, centering himself and getting focused before he climbed up the steps and out of the cargo hold. He was not trying to hide who he was, clad in red, black and silver armour his muscles bulging from beneath the armour weave body suit.

Alena could be heard over the comlink, she was in position and now Ryu would make his appearance. He could sense the presence of a someone else strong in the force, however it was seemingly following and disappearing with the crowds, so Ryu paid it no attention.

By the time he had walked down the ramp the civilians had already been drawn to the antics Hausser was up to. Screams and shouts could be heard as many were shocked by what they were seeing. Suddenly over the dock's intercom a call out could be heard "All security personnel proceed to docking bay one, i repeat all security personnel proceed to docking bay one. We have a attack in progress."

Well looks like he doesn't hang around. Ryu thought to himself, positioning himself in front of a set of large blast doors. The reinforcements would be coming through here, if he was lucky there would be a fair few of them to allow him a challenge. The sound of air and hydraulics could be heard as the heavy doors began to pry open. He reached across his waist with his right hand, drawing from his belt a lightsaber hilt.

The doors almost opened fully, Ryu ignited his blade, as blasters began firing towards him. Dropping quickly into a Shien stance he began deflecting and returning bolts in quick succession as he pressed forward towards his opponents. With Hausser behind him and causing a commotion in the other side of the docking bay he would be able to see anyone approaching Ryu from behind, and hopefully he would hurry over to him to help him with the security forces they had brought here.

"Aria, Mission is go... Get shifting quickly...we can use the transport we came in on... to get away if we need." Ryu said, his voice cutting out a few times where he was focused on the fight at hand. The sound of his lightsaber moving could be clearly heard down the intercom.

(OOC: Hey, it has been pointed out to me that my previous post was not worthy of the site so please just ignore it, thanks)

Falcon had been stationed on this planet for months, his mission was to protect the ports that we're bringing in civilians and precious goods.throughout his time here, he did not see much action, so when he heard the explosion on the far side of the docks, he ran. As he ran he grabbed his mask from where it was hanging inside of his jacket, he put the mask on and the HUD sprung to life, directing him toward the growing commotion. As he neared the growin crowd, he Force-jumped into the nearest stack of storage containers. Over looking the battle, he saw the Sith deflect the bolts from the guards with his red saber. Falcon decided to watch the battle progress and would only intervene if necessary, he may be a Jedi, but he would rather not risk his life.

 

[RedneckLoves]

Aria was still casually strolling along with the civilians when an enormous BOOM was heard over by the first docking bay. She didn't even flinch, but began walking briskly towards her goal, the central docking bay, while the rest of the crowd gasped and started walking towards the commotion to see what was going on. After a few moments she was virtually alone in this area of the docking yard. At this point she felt it prudent to arm herself, knowing that all security personnel would be on high alert. Of course most of them would be focused on her compatriots, but there were always a few stationed permanently at areas at risk of becoming targets. Those were the ones she would have to deal with herself.

Stopping for just a moment, Aria pulled out her precious cortosis claws from the pack and put them in her hands. She took a moment to relish in the feel of them, then took off again. Just as she reached the maintenance doors for docking bay 2, she heard one of the Sith's voices over her comm telling her to get a move on. She went inside and looked around, the coast was clear for now. Moving quickly but quietly she crept through the cluttered building. It didn't take long to find the objective.

There were two guards stationed on either side of a short hallway, with another standing directly in front of a door in the middle. Aria could hear loud voices coming from inside the room these three were guarding, sounding like people were arguing. Shrugging that off for the moment, she focused on the guard nearest her. She'd be able to get him fairly easily, but the other two would surely see her and start shooting. Deciding abrupt action was best, she ducked around a corner and thumbed the buttons on her claws to extend the blades. When she was ready, she dashed right up to the first guard and slammed a fist into his belly, smiling as she did it. She immediately swung around so his body was between her and the blaster fire from the other two guards, then yanked her blades out of her first victim. Of a sudden, she tossed his body to the side and went into a roll that brought her to the next one in line. She slashed at his legs and ankles then quickly jumped up and dashed into the last guard in the hallway, dodging blaster fire by constantly changing direction. The last guard got knives in his throat and she turned around to finish the second one who was only wounded.

When he had been taken care of Aria turned her attention back to the room that was being guarded. Now all was quiet within. Whoever was in there certainly knew she was out here. As she considered the best way to continue, she called back to her sith team.

"I'm at the objective but have not yet gained access, repeat have not yet gained access. I'm going to need a few more minutes."

 

[Narsi]

Hausser was in heaven. He was standing in the middle of the floor as sirens and screams filled the air. The fire was all around him, coating a large section of the hanger and pieces of shrapnel were lodged in the floors, walls, and even several people. It was the epitome of chaos and Hausser was enraptured by every aspect of it. For several moments he remained, simply gazing at the fire in admiration, oblivious to everything else but the roaring force of nature before he finally closed his eyes and focused on the comlink thrilling away in his ear.

Hausser listened intently to Aria before he nodded once and looked around for Ryu. The sharp hum of a lightsaber weakly fought for attention amid the roaring of the fire and Hausser turned to see a beautiful red blade wielded by Ryu battling against security forces. It was with heartbreak that Hausser turned away from the cheerfully crackling blaze and started towards his comerade focusing mostly on the red plasma wirring away at the guards necks.

"It really is a beautiful color, it endows heat and the way it moves....its like a miniature little fire swirling about."

Hausser was nearly there when a slight pulse in the force caught his attention, and he turned to see a figure crouching on a pile of storage containers. Hausser eyed the figure suspiciously for several moments as he rubbed a new cut on his cheek from the explosion before he decided upon a course of action. He wasn't sure what was up there and he didnt want to turn his back on it but Ryu did need aide. Luckily for Ryu, Hausser was well accomplished in fighting from a distance. Hausser smirked and gestured with his hand, several pieces of shrapnel lifted from the ground in response and zoomed towards the guards. He kept a wary eye towards the figure as he did so. It hadn't proven to be an enemy yet, but it was giving off a disturbing impression in the force, one of light.

 

[Aibhne Tibbot]

Offsite Depot...

A callus finger tapped against his cheek, palm cupped over mouth; arm folded beneath the other. Vexed. Starkly staring into the chipped grains of stoney earth, his mind aloof, he heard the whispers of the Force call out to him; anemic and asphyxiated. Broad boots planted upon the pale concrete, sun streams cutting through the lines of bland bunkers and supply garages, his porcelain visage was aglow; Hósios Sóma armor, Orgé and Ekdikeo sabers, vibro short-sword, blaster pistol, explosives, and beacon.

In the background a nasally site supervisor's voice mundanely listed off inventory to the lone Jedi and the docking bay security representatives, highlighting key tech that had gone missing. Aibhne ignored him. He had not come to attend this purpose. Arriving yesterday to meet with a locally stationed Jedi, scouting worlds for hostile activity, Aibhne was pulled into a formal touring of the grounds when his contact had gone missing; leading to discovery of supply theft via smuggling and cooked numbers, and mandating an audit with requested Jedi joint oversight.

A faint BOOM rumbled in the distance, and Aibhne's head snapped upright.

Personnel comms all but suddenly blasted with frantic codes and calls to action. But Aibhne's skin crawled to the cold chill streaking up his spine. The taint called to him. But the entourage beckoned his attention and begged his intervention to accompany them back to the main facility. He guardedly agreed and the four of them mounted the small company hover-cart which unfortunately wasn't built for speed. Minutes away and they'd approach the site from the rear, opposite the explosion, as information slowly poured into company's ear pieces; painting a picture for the cooperative Aibhne. Perhaps it was for the best to allow events to unravel further before he rushed in.

Pending calamity, Aibhne's ship was parked off-site in the private bay of an executive's guest space for secrecy's sake. He'd discover what lurked in the dark here and, if necessary, crush its creeping skull beneath his heel. Likewise, information earned first hand can be just as valuable as action. And, if paramount, he wouldn't blink should he be required to leave Cadinth to its fate to inform Jedi leadership for the greater good.

 

[Tsunami]

Ryu continued to fight, his blade spinning as he deflected bolt after bolt. He had practiced this form for the longest time, it was like second nature to him now his muscle memory working almost quicker than his brain could register. It was an odd feeling, to be able to deflect a blaster bolt that may have otherwise killed you.

Over the coms Aria spoke, seemingly she had made it to the control room, but was yet to complete her mission. It was only a few more minutes and to his knowledge no other resistance was around other than the mediocre guards of the docking station. "Very Well, as soon as the docks are closed no outside reinforcements will be able to arrive. As soon as you are finished there, get back to us." Ryu was speaking with confidence, everything seemingly going smoothly.

Suddenly shrapnel flew past him, impaling some of the guards as Ryu bolted into Melee range. He moved into a more aggressive stance now. His blade slashing and stabbing into flesh as he cut down the last of the guards in quick fashion. He was sure more would arrive, but for now he could recuperate some energy until the next wave arrived.

Ryu turned to look at his Sith ally. "Hausser what..." He stopped as he noticed what he was looking at. A masked man atop some crates. Odd, that he seemed unafraid of put off by the scenes. Odder still that he had the dexterity to get that high. "Aria, we have a odd humanoid of unknown intentions in the hanger. Lets speed this up before we become unstuck." He said, his voice spoke confidently but you could tell he was slightly confused about the mans presence.

Who might this be? the presence i felt earlier? hmm... Ryu thought to himself before walking closer to Hausser, and shouting up to the man. "You, state your name and purpose, or so help me you will fall upon my blade as those men did." His voice loud and commanding, he pointed to the bodies of the guards and awaited a reply.

 

[RedneckLoves]

Aria was wishing she had a smoke grenade. It would have been easy to throw one into the room and quickly take out the inhabitants. As it was, she'd have to improvise. She slipped up to the door and stood to the left side, hopefully out of the way of the blasters that were surely trained on the door. She easily pressed the button to engage the opening function and immediately dropped to the floor, rolling forward into the room. As she had hoped, both the men inside assumed the intruder would be standing and had aimed their blasters at chest level. This being the case, she was in their midst before they even registered that no one was standing there.

At the end of her roll, she slashed at the legs of the nearest opponent hoping to incapacitate him as she had the guard outside. He yelled and that was her cue to turn her attention to the next opponent. A split second almost too late. As Aria turned her head to focus on the second man, he fired and she very nearly was shot to death. Due to her quick reflexes, she saw the shot coming and instinctively tired to move out of the way. Instead of her heart the shot winged her left arm. As the pain hit her it only served to enrage her at her target. Normally when fighting she's either calm or even having fun. Rage is not an emotion anyone wants to experience from the small fighter, especially if it's aimed at them.

Aria growled fiercely and leapt at the man, who was taken aback and paused in confusion for a moment when she did it. That moment was all she needed. She landed near him and slashed with her right hand at his face then kicked behind his knee. The slash missed, but the kick didn't. With a cry of pain the man fell to the floor. Aria would have finished him then, but for the sound of a voice.

"Drop your ridiculous weapons right now or so help me I will blow your brains out."

It was the only somewhat injured guard that she'd left on the ground behind her. He had his blaster aimed directly at her head and his voice shook with fury. Aria had no doubt that he would do it, but would be damned if she was going to let him win. Slowly, she held out her hands and allowed the claws to drop to the ground. Stoically keeping her face from flinching as they crashed to the floor.

Assuming a flirty smile on her face, she tried to get the stupid man to let his guard down. All she would need was a second of confusion. "There's no need for that, darling. I'm sure we can work something out."

Unfortunately he was too pissed at her for that ploy to work. He snorted and walked up to her, poking her in the chest with the tip of his blaster. "You'll pay for this, you worthless lowlife."

Aria smiled pleasantly at him. Then she shoved the blaster away from her body and smashed the heel of her hand into his nose. He staggered backward clutching his bleeding face, she followed and kicked him in the groin. At a sound from behind she whirled and found the other guard back on his feet. "You boys really know how to show a girl a good time, don't you?"

 

[ctrocks307]

Falcon saw the shrapnel fly toward the battle he was watching and slipped into Forcesight to find the source. The source was a man clearly trained in the ways of the force, and since he helped the Sith, Falcons guess is that the man was a Sith too. He stood as the Sith who had just finished off the group of guards walked towards him, speaking a threat as he did so. He smirked under his mask and thought to himself, this should be fun. As he stood, he patched the com in his mask to his X-wing which was near by. Saying, "R2, get the ship up and flying, I'll need some air support," luckily, the microphone that allowed his voice to escape the mask was currently being used to communicate with his droid. He then turned the microphone back on and said, "My purpose is to keep the peace in the galaxy, and defend those who are in danger. This planet is in danger, therefore I must protect it. I will fight with Honor, only if you do." With that, he force jumped. In mid-air, he created a sort of spring board out of the Force and bounced off of it before landing about 20-ish feet from the two Sith. He then ignited his lightsaber, it's white blade shimmering to life in his left hand. He then sent out a small force push to distract his opponents and then waited for their reply to his actions.

 

[Narsi]

Hausser grimaced as he felt the weak force push fracture against him, barely flapping his black cloak. Reaching up, he flipped his hood back into place before taking a long look at the new arrival. A tall human wearing some sort of mask over his face with violet eyes peeking through the eye slits. Said human had also just finished a speech of heroism before igniting a lightsaber. A white one at that.

Hausser nodded once before turning to Ryu, "Jedi, I'd say. One of the weird ones." Hausser pointed towards the dead guards with one hand, " He let us kill all the innocents before he stepped in, I didn't think Jedi were supposed to act like that, not to mention they were his only allies here."

Hausser looked back for a moment to take another look at the Jedi in front of him, letting the force flow out of him in all directions. He grinned at Ryu when his "scan" came up empty, "I don't sense any other Jedi either. This idiot just jumped in front of us without backup. Let's get hi-," Hausser stopped abruptly as he caught a glimpse of the scene across the hanger.

While the fire was still going it had started to die down and people were swarming the area with water and such. Under their combined efforts it was slowly being put out, it was being smothered. Hausser felt his blood boil as he watched the fire fight for life as the insects tried...to KILL it. It was fighting valiantly but it wasn't going to last much longer and he could feel it reaching out to him, pleading for aide, and Hausser knew what he had to do.

Hausser slowly started stalking back across the hanger feeling the rage building within him and the force beginning to focus around him. He called over his shoulder to Ryu, "You take him, if you need me I'll be over there."

 

[Aibhne Tibbot]

A boy clings to his mother's pant-leg on the side of the service road looking onward. They pass by. A businessman with his hands on his head has dropped his briefcase, tablets strewn over folders and datapads. They pass by. An alien couple in a daze watches this group of four glide towards Eris herself. They pass by.

Each of the personnel squawking to the other even as the one drives in a swerving panic, flipping between comm channels and department broadcasts, Aibhne's leering grimace held fixed upon the now rising smoke column ahead. His haunted glare aglow, dull blue-green eyes distant the chaos in the car, as his gnashing jaw mulled over peripheral morsels of information. Much was said. Much of it worthless. But from the manic reports, he gathered three things. Fire. Red lightsaber. And loss of communications and personnel in key security posts.

His fists squeezed tight into his thighs in particular to the second. This ride was taking far too long.

Aibhne's right hand rigidly clawed open and gradually reached for the driver's shoulder, macabre in its genteel touch as it nestled next to the man's necktie and suggestively squeezed. Though at first startled, the driver soon focused on exactly that as though his life depended on it. And Aibhne just stared ahead, pursing his pruned lips and keeping silent.

What was happening here, his marble cast wondered. If ever he made an intelligent deduction, his obsession of darksiders derailed its discovery. Before long his strategies no longer addressed the big picture and sharpened towards the hunt.

They turned into the back lot and passed by a buzzing generator. Fire alarms shrieked in cycles. He had a thought.

"The power. Can you cut it?" His visceral timbre gargled as though from a salivating beast, barking over the engine roar and competing sirens.

The four of them looked at each other, back at the generator, and pathetically back at Aibhne; all replying to the effect of requiring access to the security office main controls. Aibhne simply looked away, returning his gaze to the gates ahead as they drove in towards the final access point and parked.

Aibhne slid off and into a brisk pace before the vehicle even stopped, coming to the double doors at the back entrance. His irritation spiked when the doors did not slide open to his approach, ire bloating in his snap glare up at the motion sensor above the door. One of the accompanying passcard holders hurriedly caught up to Aibhne and swiped his card and input the passcode and the doors finally opened, Aibhne barreling in. As he picked up on more precise anomalies in the Force somewhere nearby, his own presence announced itself proudly in similar fashion as he had to cross through the inner hallways to reach the docking bays where the smoke came from. His entourage scurried down a hallway to their own purpose, one of them asking if Aibhne would first accompany them before investigating the disturbance outside. Aibhne outright refused, shirking his arm from the man's near grasp when Aibhne noticed the others stopping down the hall; standing over a mass. Aibhne took a moment to look and saw a body on the floor at their feet and reconsidered his position. Practically pushing the one man out of his way, Aibhne plodded towards the body and curiously looked down both arteries beyond; one hallway lining a trail of bodies towards the security hub, ceiling lamp flickering.

The men clustered close behind him.

His right hand's grasp cautiously retrieved a lightsaber from his belt. And he waited. One of the men asked Aibhne an insignificant question and Aibhne harshly hushed the idiot with an abrupt shush. Aibhne couldn't hear anything nearby, so he ignited his lightsaber in preparation; plasma popping with its iconic snap-hiss, emitting a yellow beam. The men behind shuddered to the sudden burst of power. And Aibhne slowly sidestepped towards the next body, its head stopping the sliding doors from closing all the way; repeatedly clamping on his skull, glitching, and sliding back open in an endless loop.

 

[Tsunami]

Ryu had continued to watch the man for a moment while he paused, it was aggravating that the man had ignored his question, but it could only mean that he was happy for the latter part of his statement to happen. Ryu's hilt was stIll in his hand as the man began to stand, quickly make an adjustment and leap into the air.

A man would would put himself in the air against two Sith was a foolish one indeed. Although as he jumped Hausser decided to direct his attention elsewhere. Ryu didn't care however his palms already gathering into them a large amount of force energy. He was focused, and as the Jedi focused on his own use of the force to make a springboard Ryu reached out with the force. Raising his free hand he used the force to grip tightly around the Jedi whos current use of the force would leave him unable to resist it. The Jedi could only hope to interrupt the Siths use of the force now, but with his Lightsaber still remaining attached to his person it would be unlikely that he could muster a throw to reach him in time.

If Ryu was successful in his grip, he would raise the man rapidly into the air, before sending him hurtling towards the ground head first. Hitting the ground at this speed would surely cripple the man, his body's useless heap of bloody flesh and broken bone. The impact itself would cause the metallic floor panels to bend and boe almost leaving a crater like imprint around the body of the Jedi. The man was surely dead or at the very least unconscious with no hope of coming around any time soon.

Suddenly, he sensed somethings feignt. He couldn't be sure what it was, it was too distant at this point. However if there was one Jedi here, you could bet there could be another. Out of caution he warned his allies his voice panting slightly heavily from his use of the force. "Aria, Hausser... Be wary, I sense something. Where there is one Jedi, there can always be another."

 

[RedneckLoves]

Aria was facing one slightly injured man with another on the floor behind her clutching his groin in agony. She smiled wickedly as she saw the man in front of her glance off to the side for a split second. He was going to make a move, try to get to one of the blasters they'd been armed with when she first arrived. As soon as he made a move, she was on him. He had dived to the left in his attempt to reach the blaster, but in the middle of his decent she barreled into him. Now she was on top of him, but he had managed to reach the blaster and started to raise it. Instead of aiming it at her to shoot, he simply bashed at her face with it as hard as he could. It caught her square in the face and rage erased any trace of a smile from Aria's mouth. With a fierce growl, she ripped a small stiletto knife from its sheath in her boot and slashed at the hand holding the blaster. She nicked him just enough for the hand to pause a moment and in that moment she shoved the knife into the man's throat all the way to the hilt. Still growling, she twisted it and relished the look on his face as he died.

Turning from the dead man, Aria stood up and turned to find the last guard making a feeble attempt to crawl along the floor to the other blaster. With a snarl, she kicked him over and put her heel into his throat. It took a second, but she enjoyed the slower death as much as the rest. Finally having defeated her adversaries, she first looked around to locate her treasured claws. She walked over and gathered them in her hands, deciding to leave the blades extended just in case someone happened to see the trail of bodies she'd left out in the hallway and come to investigate. She placed each on either side of the control module while she worked so they would be in easy reach if she needed them.

Fingers moving deftly, Aria began the process of changing codes and locking down all the docking bays. When she had just begun the sequence to lock down all exits, one of the Sith's voices sounded on her comm talking about Jedi.

"Since when are there Jedi around!?" Now she was really hurrying. Her comrade was eluding that there may even be more than one Jedi here, and if there were Jedi they would certainly try to thwart the mission.

Her fingers flew along the controls and soon she had started the command for all exits to be locked down. Red lights started flashing and alarms were going off, but Aria could not be distracted by such things. While the doors were shutting down, she was also beginning a hack of her own to ensure once she left it would be impossible to change or override the command. Both of these were still loading and completing when she heard a slight scuffle not far away. Instantly recognizing danger, she immediately took up her claws and whirled to face whatever would come through the door. Her commands would complete and the docking bays would be permanently secure in a few minutes. That was the mission. She only had to hold off this new threat until that was finished, then she could get the hell out of here.

"Hey boys, I've almost completed locking down the docking bay, but I've got more company in here." She was panting audibly and knew she wasn't at top form after the first battle. "I may need some help if you've got the time to spare." Warily glancing back at the dial on the monitor, she just hoped there weren't too many more of them out there.

Falcon sensed the Force grip surrounding him as he bounced off of the force spring board, but the Sith did not know whom he was fighting. Falcon quickly twisted and deflected the force grip and landed with a soft thud on the metal floor. He then ignited one of his saber-staff's blades and smiled, this should be fun, Falcon thought as he charged at the Sith, he quickly switched into a form he had created especially for the saber staff. The form involved Falcon extending the one blade that was ignited to the length of two blades, as the second crystal strengthened the first. He then slid beside the Sith, using the longer blade to slash across the Sith's legs. He then stood and shortened the blade and ignited the second one, he liked the idea of a challenge. He then force jumped back up to the crates and waited to the Sith's retaliation.

Hausser's return to the fire didn't truly register with the firefighters for several moments. They were far too focused on killing his masterpiece to pay much attention to anything else. Hausser watched for about two seconds before he lost complete control.

"WHAT ARE YOU SAVAGES DOING TO IT. CANT YOU SEE IT"S JUST TRYING TO BE FREE," Hausser screamed as he ignited his lightsaber, causing all the firefighters to step back from their duties and give their full attention to the SIth. Hausser, to distracted even for his lightsaber staring ritual, eyed the mixed group of species in front of him with hatred, " Its a living being just like you and your all trying TO KILL IT, you HYPOCRITS!"

For several long moments no one moved as everyone stared at each other, diseased Sith eyes meeting different shapes and colors of eyes, all filled with fear. Then a human woman, maybe twenty-four years old, jumped as a bit of fire licked at her leg. Giving off a little scream, she began frantically stomping on the fire. She was still stomping when her head fell off her body. Hausser slowly stood up from the crouch he had ended in after dashing towards and past the woman, and turned to face the rest of the firefighters as the screams started.

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

Hausser was grinning in pleasure as he viewed his handiwork. A nice little fire was jovially crackling away, feeding on a massive pile of bodies, all stacked up in a large open space in the hanger. He was feeling nice and rejuvaneted, he had saved a fire from oppression and had given it the resources to continue living for quite some time now.

"Yes," he thought to himself, " this has been a good day." Aria's and Ryu's voices in his ear reminded him that the day was still ongoing and Hausser turned away to return to his compatriots. After a few moments, he stopped and scurried back towards the fire. Quietly giggling to himself, Hausser shoved his bare hand into the open flame for several moments, laughing now as his pale skin blistered and smoked. With wide-pleasure filled eyes, Hausser removed his hand and slowly began caressing it with his other hand as he hurried back towards Ryu, a massive grin on his face.

Hausser's massive grin widened as he saw the unconscious Jedi in a miniature crater. He turned to the armored Sith and began speaking frantically, "Were on a roll, both of us, lets go help Aria with her company. You lead the way, I follow. Clear." His speech was fast and elated as if he had just taken a fresh dose of drugs.

 

[Aibhne Tibbot]

His cold eyes trailed across the corpse as he callously crossed a step over it, noting several thoughts. This one's weapons were left on it. Same with the other one. It was a bloody brawl. A mess. Someone was in a hurry. No lightsaber burns in sight. Not on the bodies. Not on the walls. Nevertheless, it could still be a Sith. No stupid assumptions. In all likelihood, one of the crazier Sith who preferred to fight with his hands was to blame. They liked to feel their victim's blood with their own fingers. Aibhne double-blinked, secretly longing for such a villain to be waiting for him. Righteousness is measured by its challenge. Force willing, he would earn the blessing of purity this day.

The others quietly cooed to each other, afraid to even approach the deceased; but more afraid to fall behind without Aibhne's protection.

Aibhne's slitted side-stare slid up the wall to his right as he crossed the threshold and walked into the center of a long narrow hallway. Another body. Tragic though their deaths may be, these blue-green eyes squinted a smile in contrast to his stoic scowl; followed by immediate self reprimand, these eyes then darting back and forth with correcting tenets echoing in memory. One of the suits behind him whispered an observation, pointing out the security control room ahead. They heard a scuffle within said room. Aibhne sharply raised his lightsaber out towards the entourage in the doorway to his right, two fingers silently commanding to shut up and stay put. They represented order and stability, these trembling cowards of civilized liberty, and Aibhne wouldn't waste their lives foolishly. However they could neither aid him nor themselves. He rightly surmised they couldn't even be counted on to take a blaster bolt for him. So they best stay out of his way. To ensure they not follow, he retrieved a land mine and tossed it to one of them; an individual volatile capable of fatality or severe damage to a single entity depending on armor rating and environment conditions. The man nearly fainted just making sure not to drop it. A clear red button primer on its apex, Aibhne signed a dumbed down demonstration by pointing a finger down into his opposing palm followed by a motion for them to set it inside the opening and closing doorframe so that if someone followed behind Aibhne they would not see it and be taken by surprise. They followed instruction to the best of their ability. It was too simple to flub up, hopefully.

Meanwhile, his feet slowly strode closer towards the singular door ahead to his right until he heard a muffled voice. He slowed even more. He heard clicking keys inside now. His left hand stealthily reached back into belt pocket. His creeping steps took extra caution to roll through the arch of his foot, ball-toes melding into the floor quietly. The fumbling buffoons behind him made noise. Aibhne heard a sharp movement inside the room. The woman heard them, but not him. He'd be closer than she anticipated. Her voice spoke again, clearer now. Closer. She spoke to others about locking down the docking bay, and was alerted to his presence. And she called for backup. These others weren't with her in the room then. And he'd soon have an unknown number of enemies raining down around him. But they were "too distant at this point". This had to be quick, decisive. No remorse. She'd decided her fate when she sided with the agents of chaos.

While Aibhne was still safely behind the corner:

His left hand silently pulled out an impact frag, twisted open towards the ajar entrance ahead, willing the frag to float freely, then by the Force suddenly slingshot the grenade like a curved bullet around the corner and directly into the room for a surprise blast. Unknown to Aibhne, the entrance was slightly off center to where the computer operator might sit, or in this case stand. Thus the blindly flung frag would most likely zip just past its target and bash straight into the computer console with a bang. If so occurring, she'd likely be flung from her stance and burnt.

Underhanded though this may be, he had to be tactful if he was to face multiple foes and survive. He had faith the woman the voice belonged to would survive, though this might suppress her resistance in the coming moments.

"I may need some help." was all Ryu needed to hear over the coms, before he started moving. He couldn't say he was surprised, these things tended to happen when the Jedi and SBZ got involved. It wouldn't be the first time that a Jedi quickly ended one of his non-force sensitive companions, only to escape from his grasp once more. Ryu could only hope for a few things, firstly that the person he had faintly sensed wasn't a Jedi and that him and Hausser could get there in time if he was.

"Hausser, we need to move quickly. No faffing around. If this is a Jedi, I want him captured. The information he could provide could be critical to the war effort." He spoke, as he channeled the last of his force energy over him, using it slowly as he augmented his speed. He wouldn't be able to use powers for a while now, after all they were not his forte and he was very limited to that which he could muster. Leaving the docking bay he began on his short way towards the control room where Aria was.

As they moved swiftly, Ryu noticed two men up ahead. "YOU" They froze, almost like a cat in headlights, as Ryu approached. They didn't seem to be carrying anything, no weapons, explosives, but they had been coming in the direction of the control room. Extinguishing his lightsaber blade he returned the hilt to his belt, before he got in range of the men. As he did he whipped out his right arm, his hand gripping around the mans neck as he lifted him slightly off the floor. Ryu was testament to how the power of the force wasn't always the scariest thing, how terror can be induced through the simplest of actions.

"You came from that direction, the control room. Tell me what you know." He didn't increase his grip at all. He knew what he was doing would suffice. He could almost smell the fear drifting off the man, like a steaming pile of bantha dung. "Know? what do you mean We don't know of a Jedi or anything." it was almost comical, the man blabbered on and on until Ryu almost broke into a fit of laughter, the disgraceful weakness of the man.

Regardless of the sides in this conflict, Ryu admired warriors. Those who fight because they are needed to, because they are bound by duty. They are people he can understand, almost respect. Yet a duty to others can be exposed, and there is no time to get sentimental, it was battle and what had to be done had to be done.

"You guys are coming with us, you know this place, you can tell us about any dangers on the way, and when we get to this Jedi you know nothing about... well maybe he will save your lives." His words were hollow and empty, and he didn't care if they lived or died. There is no glory in killing them however and for now they served a purpose.
