Crystalline Chaos

[Amur]

Things were going badly for the Sith. Really badly. Hearing the echoes of the jet pack zoom over her and pulling the Mandalorian who was now in the most surreal pose ever as he got pulled towards her. A grenade and a flurry of shots were being dropped onto her and it seemed like it could very spell the end of the Sith. Though Something would become a factor in all of this. Something that she and seemingly everyone else forgot despite being gargantuan in size. It was 1.5 meters tall and called a CZ MSBR. She had previously slung the rifle over her back and since it's large size and relatively low weight meant that she had forgotten it was on her back. In fact she only remembered that fact when her legs folded and she leaned back feeling the muzzle of the rifle meet the ground acting as a post and her head resting on the stock.

When the grenade detonated behind her, the rifle which was even as thick as her torso would act as an improvised back plate catching all the shrapnel that would have embedded itself in her legs, back, neck and skull. Her shoulders would receive some shallow surface cuts but nothing that would substantially worsen the wounds. The rifle would be rendered inoperable but it would save the Sith's life. The blaster bolts shot by the Mandalorian would be evaded due to the concussive force of the grenade. It knocked her forward and sent her feet hurling upwards as the Sith was now in the middle of performing an involuntary forward backflip. As the result of this while she would impact the Mandalorian it wouldn't be the way he would have preferred. She would rotate underneath him narrowly avoiding his fist and the weapons he held onto instead impacting chest to chest. Her upward rotation and momentum would transfer onto the Mandalorian. It was highly probable that he would now dive into the ground and began to roll, after all this was all happening immediately after their collision. Since he held his arms out there was also the almost certain possibility that his arms would hit the ground first and began to bend backwards possibly breaking or dislocating his arms. The Mando would need superhuman reflexes for his mind to register the collision and crash fast enough to react and even then the window of time he had was tiny and well below a second.

The following tumble the two took would be brutal but short before they would land on the ground with Tanx over Amur each face to face with eachother. The Sith would try to raise her saber up and destroy his hips. Well she tried to anyways. Feeling the light fade away and she receded into darkness. It was comfortable but at the same time the Sith hated that she would be leaving Kalanda alone now serving as dead weight. As the Sith began to seep into unconciousness she could at least take solace in the fact that she had effectively taken the other mando out of the fight as well given that trying to fight with broken arms was difficult to say the least. She shut her eyes and hoped that the next time she opened them it would be by Kalanda's side instead of a Mandalorian interrogation room.

[Kalanda Tishire]

The lighting wouldn't miss Sumas, giving it was targeted at him directly, he had merely delayed when it would strike; he was moving backwards against a forward moving power after all. The moment he was starting to react the lightning was already coming towards him. He could 'yeet' all he wanted, but Kalanda didn't give up on the lightning either; not when he was closer to her than his own safe haven. She controlled where it went after all, and she demanded it strike at the Mandalorian. The torrent would catch him before he reached that little hidey hole, lighting sizzling into armor, the power behind it would slam him backwards towards that alley corner he had sought. Though the real prize would be the device on his back and the controls in his armor.

His jetpack would short out, sending him plummeting down to the ground below; though not before he slammed into a wall or two on his ten meter plummet, landing right on his stomach with a smoldering jetpack. Even if the lightning didn't short out the systems, the force behind her attack would most certainly cause similar damage to the device; as it would be near impossible for him to not hit the walls of the alley.The grenade he had planned to toss wouldn't even be a factor, not like he would have his chance to detonate it since he never quite stabilized himself. Even if he did get his bearings by the time he might have have the sense to detonate the grenade, she would be well beyond the range. She would strike at the recently downed Mandalorian, rushing to strike him down before he could cause any more harm; no doubt his head would still be swimming from the blows he had just sustained, certainly not capable of attacking at this moment. With her blade still kept out in front just in case either of them managed something cute, not to mention she had another Mandalorian to contend with still. She would move up to the Zabrak's side and slice the blade across his legs just below the knees across with a quick flourish, ending his part in this fight, as the Mandalorian would be down for the count. Turning towards the last remaining Mandalorian, Kalanda would sweep up with her blade back up in a defensive posture. "You're friend just lost about thirty pounds. I don't know if he can afford to lose much more." Kalanda warned, hoping that Amur would make it through this fight. If nothing else, she was going to make sure her friend got out of this alive. She cared more about getting her out of this in one piece than slaughter a few savages.

[Tanx Solus]

Tanx didn't see what he hit but he certainly felt it when he did and it hurt, with the speed in which everything happened tax he didn't know what he had hit until he was face to face with, quite literally, he dropped his weapons.

now on top of the sith, he felt her move under he ready to headbutt her but she turned limp, Tanx presumed she was unconscious or dead, didn't really matter as long as she was down for the count. He breathed a sigh of relief between ragged breaths. both his shoulders were in pain, it was a pain he had felt before, a dislocated shoulder, likely both of them. but he was still determined to get up, he would have just do it without the use of his arms and take a bit of time to pace himself.

Tanx kicked the lightsaber out of Amur's hand, for it was batter to be safe than sorry, just as he did so his attention was drawn to Sumas, as his jet pack was making weird stuttering noises. It seemed to his jet pack was damaged and was going to crash.

Tanx presumed that the sith would quickly follow behind him to his landing zone, he put his boot on Amur's throat and soon as seeing the other sith he would whistle at her to grab attention "Drop the saber or your friend windpipe ceases to exist" he spoke between heavy breaths.

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas had grossly miscalculated the position of his opponent. And now he had to reap what he sowed. The lightning hit him in the back and sent him hurtling forward as he grunted in pain, holding back the plethora of Mandalorian and Iridonian cuss words he had lined up. Thankfully he was made of sterner stuff than most so the lightning wasn't as bad on him as it could have been. On top of that he started to dip out of the air as his jetpack started shorting out. Not wasting time he hit the switch and started a quick descent right next to the unconscious Sith.

At 4 meters up the jetpack cut out and he fell down hard with another grunt. In the corner of his eye he saw the Sith coming at him with her lightsaber. Not wasting a second, he pressed the barrel of his pistol against the unarmoured ribcage of the unconscious Sith and with his open left hand he levelled the rifle still slung over his shoulder at her. "Stop right there Sith!" he shouted as he kneeled beside the Sith and Tanx that also joined in. His finger already started to squeeze the trigger. The Sith still had a couple meters to cover to get to him but it wouldn't take much from her to close distance. "One more step and your friend gets it!" he shouted again.

If the charging Sith still persisted in trying to come at them he wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger and blow her friend's lungs out. Likewise his left hand was ready to fire and he still had a plethora of hand-to-hand gear to take her on. But he hoped for her friend's sake this Sith cared about her comrades. "Drop your weapon or she dies." he finished, his focus wide open and on her movements. His legs were aching like something fierce and he might have sprained an ankle but thankfully the adrenaline in his system kept it at bay for now.

[Kalanda Tishire]

Kalanda was half way towards them, she was going to kill them and there was nothing they could do to stop her. Tanx would get the chance to step on Amur's neck, because the moment he would start to make for her friend Kalanda would throw a force push right into his chest, sending him back onto his back like a turtle. If was able to not scream out in agony as his damaged arms snapped back like trees and fall to the ground, she'd give him props. She wasn't going to let her friend be used like a doormat by some savage dog. Well, soon to he dead dogs.

Then the one thing that might have helped them happened. They put a gun to Amur. Kalanda froze in her tracks, as she looked at the sight before her. She could take them. She knew she could, but Amur would have to die. That would have to be a sacrifice she was willing to make. But when Kalanda went to take a step forward, she found that she couldn't, her legs just wouldn't respond. Kalanda tensed up, her gaze fixating on that stupid little Mando just a few meters from her. She could walk over there, strangle him with her hands. But she also couldn't bring herself to put Amur at risk. Her free hand was forced into a fist, as she clenched it until it started to hurt. Damn it. Sith were supposed to be willing to make the sacrifice, that this was an acceptable cost; but she couldn't justify it to herself. She looked to the Mando, then to Amur. She thought that just maybe, maybe, she could manage something....maybe trick them into dropping their guard, or maybe she could pull Amur out of the-

Kalanda shook her head, there was no way to get Amur out without getting her killed. She was a terrible Sith. Mid was probably going to break her in two once she returned to him. He probably thought she was a disappointment, if he didn't he certainly would after this. But that was going to be for later. Scowling, Kalanda deactivated the saber and let it drop, keeping her left hand open and building a barrier in case the Mandalorian tried to do anything funny. "If you try anything Mandalorian, I will flay both of you alive."

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas carefully watched the Sith, his barrel not moving from her friend's ribcage. When she sent the force push, he lifted the gun and fired a round that skimmed just past the unconscious Sith's head, leaving a black scorch mark over her helmet. "That's enough of that!" he shouted at her as he pressed the barrel against the Sith's chest again.

She stood in place, eyeing him and he returned the look right back. His T-visor didn't move from her own visor. She killed her lightsaber then let it drop before threatening him. "Right back at ya, now listen up." he said coldly. "Here's what's gonna happen. You slowly send that lightsaber of yours over here and don't try any tricks. After that, you will leave this planet and leave it to us. In return, you can take your friend here and try to salvage what's left of her to work with." he stated, his rifle still trained on her. "So make your choice, Sith." he demanded, slightly pulling the trigger of his pistol to put some stress on the Sith. Any sudden move from her or surprises and a bolt would be flying right through the girl's chest and shredding her insides.

He was watching her carefully. For any movements of her body or hands. Even without her lightsaber the Sith was dangerous. He knew better than to relax now.

[Kalanda Tishire]

Why did it have to be Amur, out of everyone it could have been, it had to be her. Any thought of lashing out at the two was rendered moot, knowing it would end with the termination of someone she, and damn her for admitting it, cared about. The loud mouth seemed to have had enough, and his broken armed friend didn't look like much of a threat right about now; seeing as how he was laid out on his back. Still, she couldn't kill him before he killed Amur, she wasn't that good. "Fine. Have it your way." Kalanda muttered, as she kept the barrier up, but using a sliver of her power she would push the saber forward, letting it come to a stop right at the boot of the Mandalorian. "There. I've made the choice. Now if you could drop your antics, I'm taking her, and we will be leaving." Kalanda would move towards Amur, keeping her watch and barrier leveled towards the Mandalorians. She would let them take the sabers, she didn't care about that right now.

Amur what the hell were you thinking. She didn't like this at all, bending down to collect the woman, finding the battered and bruised body of her friend a tad bit upsetting. She wanted to leave some cutting words, maybe a threat to the two barbarians, but she couldn't muster it. The very concept of speaking seemed alien right now. She needed to get her out of here. Cradling the body, Kalanda would rise, looking to the two Mandalorians if they had kept to themselves, before taking the energy from her barrier and putting it into her legs. With one mighty bound, Kalanda would make it to the rooftops and begin her escape with her friend. She should have been faster. This never should have happened. This was her fault, she had failed again. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." She repeated, as if that was somehow going to make this all better. She might not have gotten any wounds from this fight, but her spirit hadn't been so fortunate.

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas eyed her carefully as she agreed and sent the lightsaber his way. He clipped it and the unconscious sith's lightsabers to his belt and, true to his word, he backed off. He kept his pistol on her as he backed off towards Tanx. The girl picked her friend up and jumped out of the alley...a rather impressive feat he must admit.

With them gone he finally sighed and holstered his pistol. It quickly turned into a wince and a grunt as the pain from his right ankle started to get through. He limped over to Tanx and carefully helped the guy to his feet. "Congratulations slowpoke, we won." he grumbled as he slung an arm over the guy to use him as something to take the weight off his foot. He was rather miffed over how the fight went but at least they won...and he got two lightsabers to boot. He decided to clip one to Tanx' belt but he kept the crossguard lightsaber for himself. It looked rather cool compared to the other one.

The attack was a success and after meeting up with the other squads of Mandalorians he and Tanx would fly off to get medical attention and report their success to the Mand'alor.

He wouldn't deny it, though...the Sith weren't pushovers like the rest of them.

[Tanx Solus]

Tanx watched quietly as this all went down, he felt he didn't need to speak because Sumas seemed to be striking all the right chords with the sith with her dropping the saber and giving to Sumas, once her saber was in Sumas has hand he removed his boot of her throat and moved away from the unconscious sith on the floor.

once the sith was gone, tanx half sigh half groan, now with no need to hide the pain of his injuries, "only by the skin of our teeth, we should go find our selves a docter" he said looking at him
