Nothing Ever Lasts

[Corvis]

((This picks up immediately after my bio, and is mainly meant for Reljyrd and Gabby to meet, but I'm open to anyone jumping in that feels they could fit into this thread. Like anyone hunting Rel ;P )

It was the torrent of water from the sprinklers that finally cut through the haze in young brown haired girl standing alone in interview room . Her eyes snapping open, she surveyed the room, rasping breaths barely audible over the facility's blaring emergency alarms. Before her, the battered bodies Dr. Roion and the Padawan that had come to meet her,wedged into form fitting craters on the opposite wall. She knew she'd done this. Not how, but definitely that she had.

She stood there, frozen in terror as she relived the moments before she'd blacked out, the soft smile of the Padawan as he placed his hand on the side of her head, telling her to relax and let go of her fear. Then she'd felt the presence of his mind in hers, just like before. But it wasn't like before, the Padawan hadn't given her any of the, what had the doctor called it... glitterstim? What happened next had been... had been...

Footsteps. No it hadn't been footsteps then, but now. She snapped her head around, no longer spellbound by the gory scene before her. Surely they'd kill her for what she'd done, when she hurt people with her mind before she came to the hospital, they'd threatened her with worse. Giving the bodies one more solemn glance as she pulled the doctor's book to her chest, she dashed off into the hallways, just one more scared girl in hospital gown in the crowd.

Thalassa Benten had entered the waiting room of the nearby hospital, having stopped a robbery by incapacitating the crook only to drop him off here under guard. She did not know what drove such men to do such acts, and she never got to finish the thought as something had crashed into her armored form. Turning around to see who it was, Thalassa had seen it was nothing more then a young girl with a terrified look on her face.

"I'm sorry, young lady. Is everything alright? You look as if you saw a ghost."

Kelly was sent to assist the more experienced Jedi Padawan on an evaluation of someone of interest a possible new candidate she was in a hospital though of all places it was times like these she was with Preator since he would usually tell her to accompany him instead of make her wait in a bloody garden for patients, then again a garden was up preators ally he'd probably make her ponder the meaning of each flower. she started to chuckle to herself, when she heard an explosion and then felt the force scream, it was powerful, it caused her head to feel like it was being split open. as soon as she re-gained her composure she ran for the building in search of the lead padawan.

When she got to the room it was carnage and she was already prepared some what from the carnage as she got closer to the room. But she found the room to be only full of corpses and the new force user not there. The damage was clearly from the force she thought for a moment a sith but she didn't really feel any dark side residual presence in the room and reaching out through the force to try and find the girl proved hard to do since the flurry of panicking patients created a cyclone of emotions making sensing anything other than anything ten meters from her impossible. 'Frak' Kelly cursed to herself starting to look for the girl towards the main exit area though she was slowed down by the fleeing patients and doctors.

Walking rapidly towards the sound of sirens and the residue of a powerful Force Scream, Reljyrd Kartegra kept his hood up and his pace quick, appearing like any other business man on the bustling streets of Coruscant. It was dangerous to be walking through the bustling ecumenopolis, but the gathering Force power and sudden burst had been a painful siren call for the Smuggler as he finished his business in the alleys and warehouses that served as the den of illegal and stolen wares on this planet. Pulling his cloak tight around him as he nervously edged past the gathering security forces, Reljyrd waited at the edge of the property and cast out with his mind, releasing soothing and peaceful thoughts into the ripple filled lake that represented the Force in this portion of the city to his mindscape.

The originator of the Force Scream was obviously terrified, the feeling echoing out to his refined senses above the panic and confusion of the teeming mass of patients and doctors. Closing his eyes, unaware of the slight billowing of his cloak caused by his exertions, the grey eyed Dathomiri called out into the Force an offer of help and friendship. Hopefully the source would hear him and come towards his location. One could never be too careful with powerful Force sensitives these days... Untrained, they were a lightning rod for the Sith.

"Where are you.... and what could have frightened you so?"

A fell wind whipped through the streets of Coruscant that day. Though the planet’s sun was high in the sky, little light filtered down amongst the mesh of the ecumenopolis, shaded by countless herculean skyscrapers and the massive walkways that connected them. The little shreds of sky that were visible were forbidding, shrouded in clouds the color of slate and casing a grim, deathly pallor over the planet-wide city. The particular hospital in question was growing thick with law enforcement personnel, from which Reljyrd Kartegra carefully extricated himself to stand somewhat removed from the crowds. Though still regarded with a passing glance here and there, the Jedi Knight was left to his own devices. As his cloak fluttered about him mystically, Kartegra lost himself in the ebb and flow of the cosmic entity he knew as the Force. Searching, speaking, soothing.

Amidst the bustle of the crowd that was rapidly gathering to investigate the happenings inside the hospital, an ear-splitting scream was heard. As if some invisible deity had hit the “mute” button, the entire squabbling rabble fell utterly silent as streetfuls of faces searched for the source. Every security forces officer in earshot started at the sound, whirling on their heels with hands reaching for blaster rifles and pistols in preparation for...what?

The culprit was a woman, dressed in typical clothing for a civilian and standing perhaps 20 yards from Reljyrd, and gaping at the Jedi with a face as ashen as if she was gazing upon the face of a Sith Lord right there on the street.

Which, as it happened, was exactly what she saw.

Screeching again, the woman pointed with with a finger that seemed to be attempting to shake itself loose from the rest of her body. “...Dar....Darth Judicar!!!” She barely managed to gasp out those words before bursting into a run in the other direction.

Sure enough, where previously a cloaked figure that could have been a Jedi Knight had stood, there now glowered a towering visage of Sith majesty. The Lord’s hood was pulled back, revealing a slicked-back mat of shining silver hair beneath a characteristic metal helmet. The face was as regal as it was terrible, a malevolent blend of austerity and evil. A cloak of midnight black dropped to his heels, and his yellowed eyes were angular with malice.

An almost inaudible gasp rose among the law enforcement officers for the briefest of moments, before, almost as one, every blaster point in range was turned upon the Dark Lord of the Sith. With fingers sweaty on their triggers but no less strong for their feverishness, they sent a nigh-unavoidable barrage of blaster bolts at Darth Judicar. Each of them had instantly forgotten the disturbance in the hospital, and was utterly focused on bringing down the mighty Emperor. Because of the way he was so conveniently removed from the crowd and the desperation that every screaming civilian was showing in trying to get away, there was no risk of striking any innocents. Just a Sith Lord, and the mastermind behind much of the evil in the galactic climate.

And, of course, the unsuspecting Jedi Knight that stood obliviously behind the masterfully crafted Force Illusion woven about his whole form.
