[Sith Mission] The Depths of Hell

[The Nameless One]

The Nameless One was just coming over the black rock mountains. Ahead of him was a red headed Sith. She hadn't spoken to him and the Nameless One had no cause to speak to her. Her life force was interesting to the Nameless One. It glowed red with patches of darkness mixed within it. It was similar in appearance to the lake of lava, he now walked next to. While most would be weary stepping upon the banks of a lava river, the Nameless One appreciated to feeling of warmth that it gave off.

The Nameless One regarded the Life-force of the woman again. It moved much like the lava did as well. It kind of flowed around her physical form. At first the Nameless One thought it moved slowly, but as he began to follow it's movements, he noticed how fast it really went.

The Nameless One had encountered very few life forces similar to hers. They typically belonged to angry and crazed people. The Sentient Nightmare viewed these types of people as interesting, but after eating one or twenty of them, found them to be the cause of a significantly upset stomach. They had never been particularly filling, nor did they taste but mediocre. For these reasons, and because he tended to enjoy their company for the short bursts of it that they gave, he had decided he would never again eat the brain of somebody with her style of life force.

Another sith was also present. His Lifeforce was different, but no more desirable to consume than the other. His life force appeared as a thin and confined film that seemed to envelop the other sith. He had seen this in many beings. It tended to suggest one who prefers to stay to themselves. It changed in color from deep red to dark black like the rock the Nameless One walked upon.

Every once in awhile the thin film would flare up in a spike of activity. The Nameless One wasn't quite sure what this meant. He had found it in several different beings. It represented that the being had a quality about them that conflicted with their usual nature. This other Sith would have flavor if the Sentient Nightmare consumed him. Still though, he would be mostly bitter and his probable lack of fond memories in comparison to his probable abundance of unpleasant ones would make for an unbalanced meal that would quickly leave the Sentient Nightmare hungry again.

The physical form of the man was something of it's own altogether. He had a mechanical red eye and a silver arm. These made him look like he could fit the role of a super villain. What would sell the role, however was his face. It was still as if it had been carved in stone, and the Nameless One was glad he hadn't wanted to try and eat him.

Now, the Sentient Nightmare was coming to the top of the mountain where the woman already was. The lava lake flowed over the top and spurted into a magnificent jet of falling fire. The image struck powerful awe in the Nameless One. He would remember the way the mouth of the lake he was next to spewed over the dark rock and down into a deep valley.

It met the lava in the valley with such a force that there was constant orange-yellow froth at the base of the falling lava waterfall. In the center of the lava was a thick onyx column. The sharp naturally caused cut of the black stone, reflected some of the yellow glow of the lava. It ascended several meters and widened as it did, so the apex was a circular mound of rock more then wide enough to accommodate the mining facility that the Nameless One. Several durasteel walkways connected the mining facility to the separated mountains in a variety of spots. The bridges connected at points all the way around the facility, making it appear somewhat like the spoke of a wheel.

One such bridge connected to a spot some meters below their current position. A steep trail was cut in the rock that led to the spot below where this bridge connected. Now, the Nameless One found he had cause to speak to the woman.

"Greetings," he said telepathically with his gravelly voice in the minds of the redheaded sith and the mechanical sith "I am the Nameless One. Do you wish to have council regarding our approach, or shall we simply proceed and improvise along the way? Either way, I would like to ask you not to kill those that I leave maimed. I assure you I will take care of them after the mission is completed."

His eyes shifted, the Red gleaming over to the one approaching him as his hand slowly gripped his Saber Hilts removing them from his belt. Luca hated the heat, it burned onto him much like the fire that consumed his arm. If he was weak willed and pathetic he would of said it almost scared him, the flowing rivers of fire. If there was one place he hated more then here it was Tatootine. The Light shined brightly on his Chrome Arm, before he took a deep breath through his helmet in order to keep his lungs clean from the ash that floated around. "Greetings.." he responded, the gravelly voice almost matching his as they spoke their lips never parting, his eyes shifted once more locking onto the Red Head before giving her a firm nod "What do you suggest then...? Loud and Quick or quiet? I did my research...There are some vents we could use." he stood to his full height turning to his new found companions. Almost Begging to get out of the heat or begin slaughtering those who stood in his path it was uncertain, his eyebrows furrowed in a annoyed fashion though he felt eager to begin their mission.

His hand reached into his robes before withdrawing a small circular circular device, his thumb pressed the side of it deploying a small holographic map of the base to show to his party.

 

[Siobhan Drust]

Muse​

Siobhan had never been to Mustafar, only knowing what her transport told her, before dropping her off. It had materials the Sith needed, and that was the only reason she was here. She wore her white set of Echani Armor for the fire and burn resistance it possessed, for many an obvious reason, keeping the mask open-faced for now, and pulled down past her neck, ,which exposed her fiery red fae-locks, and facial features. She was instructed to wait for her back up, an Anzati Sith with no name of his own. Siobhan did see the advantages of not having a name, but she liked having a set of syllables others would utter with fear as they spoke of her. It was also fun to watch people try to spell her name with Aurebesh.

Scouting the compound below her, from her position on the mountain, she noticed a good number of pirate-types patrolling the bridges between mines, and could sense many more life forms within the mines themselves. She lowered her binoculars, as she turned to greet the Anzati, as her mind was probed by him, which did little more than tick her off. She turned to the Anzati, who though it okay to probe into her mind, shutting him out, completely, before any telepathic messages could be relayed. Before she could speak, the shine of the other Sith's robotic arm was caught in her periphery. She turned to him, and grinned. Three Sith for a mission, someone upstairs really wanted this planet. This'd make the mission all the easier too. She welcomed the help, and turned bck to the Anzati.

"Ah'll be the faerst ta tell ye, luv. Ya dont wanna be up 'ere," she said, tapping her forehead, at the Anzati, with a wild grin, and a menacing chuckle. "As far the mission, we should keep it simple, and kill the kriffhoonds. We're all Sith here. We doon't need no sneaky-stabby tripe against bloody pirates," she spoke, to both men accompanying her, gripping her basket hilt lightsabers in each hand.

 

[The Nameless One]

The Nameless One found the mechanical Sith's telepathic response to him to be surprising. It was not an ability the Anzati guessed he would have. Perhaps there was more to him him then the Nameless One had first accredited. He found the words he had used also surprising. The Nameless One had suspected he would receive a curt and possibly insulting response.

The Nameless One had found the response of the redhead to be most amusing. He too agreed that there was small cause for subtlety here. Yes, many beings inhabited the mining facility. The Nameless One was not particularly concerned by any of them.

The Nameless One's answer to both of the other sith was simply to draw his lightsaber from his belt and rush down the path towards the bridge. He figured the two would follow and that no further need for words was present.

He activated the gold sided blade of his dual sided lightsaber, as he reached the rocky shelf one of the bridges attached to. He felt one side of his light saber should be sufficient for the task at hand and that the gold color better suited the environment. The blade as held down and angled behind him in a back handed grip. Almost immediately after activating the lightsaber, pirates across the bridge began to fire on him. Some shots missed wide but some were on the mark. These, the nameless One used his lightsaber to deflect into harmless directions.

 

[Enuf]

"Of Course.." Luca spat in distaste and almost insulting the charging Sith himself, he was no stranger to danger and was no coward when it came to straight fighting. He closed his holo-map standing to his feet as his hands gripped around the hilts. Activating them almost simultaneously in the generic dull crimson that matched his eye. He Watched the Golden Bladed Sith charge straight through the bridge and begin to attack so Luca moved swiftly going to his aid. The Dual lightsabers made it easy to deflect and help protect his new found allies as they advanced on the bridge--but unlike the Unnamed Sith he didn't deflect them in harmless directions. Instead the bolts were deflected straight back the Defenders.

Even if he fell behind, the Mechanical Sith kept his footing in a rapid advance his blades twirling in a lightshow of Crimson and sparks as he planned to close the ground between the Parties swiftly.

 

[Siobhan Drust]

Siobhan grinned, as she shut her face mask, leaving no facial features visible, with her opaque visor. She ignited one of her lightsabers, and leapt, augmenting her jump heavily, with the Force, launching herself through the air, several yards upwards, sailing over the battlefield. She'd bat back several blaster shots into the chests of the pirates that mistook her for a clay Mynock, learning their mistake as the bolts they'd sent toward her were nonchalantly smacked back into their chests. As three men fell, the redhead landed in a crouching position, in front of one of the mine entrances, blasting back five more pirates, who were charging out of the mine, sending them end over end, into each other, with the Force, while a Gamorrean on her opposite side charged her with a vibro-axe, leading with a vertical downward chop, to which Siobhan responded by simply stepping to the left and slicing upward, below the head of the axe, sending it hurdling past her, into a human pirate's thigh, prompting an appropriate scream.

The Gamorrean, now holding what was left of his non-lightsaber resistant axe was the short metal shaft. The Gamorrean brazenly charged the Sith with it in hand, but it was cut down once again, disarming him. The lightsaber soon found itself piercing through his throat, prompting an ugly snort from the creatre before his body fell limp upon the durasteel bridge.

 

[The Nameless One]

The Nameless One bypassed the red head as the Gammorean thudded onto the bridge. The pirates had learned the folly of attempting to use blaster type weaponry and had resorted to melee weapons. Another human pirate had been charging towards the redhead with some kind of sword. The Sentient Nightmare ducked the pirate's chop and swung his back hand blade low amputating one of the pirate's legs just above the ankle and the other at the knee. He dropped his sword and writhed crying out in pain. The Sentient Nightmare had always loved that sound. A large man with two hammers confronted him next.

He swung the first hammer from on high with impressive might. The Nameless one side stepped and brought his gold blade up, removing the man's right hand. He stumbled back as the Nameless One twirled his blade into a more standard front facing grip. The large man became angry and swung his hammer with the other hand aiming to smash the Nameless One's ribs. He was too slow. With a quick jab, the Nameless One embedded his light saber to the hilt in the large man's center chest. The wrist of his hand hit then Nameless One's shoulder and the hammer flew out out of it. He stood there, futile clinging to life for as long as he still could.

A Gammorean was next swinging his great axe with the intention of bisecting the Nameless One where he stood. The Nameless one drug his light saber left tearing it through half the man's body as he fell. He caught the great axe at a point along its handle, severing it and sending the piece scattering away. The pig face threw his weapon down and reared back to punch the Nameless One.

In the time it took for the Gamorrean to complete this motion, the Nameless One deactivated his lightsaber. Now, the Gammorean fist came towards him. He delivered a knife handed chop to the underarm of the beast with his empty hand, making the fist go wide. The Nameless one jumped upwards, delivering the bottom of his booted foot to the pig face's face. He stumbled back a few steps and the Nameless One charged him taking him to the black rock floor. As they landed the thin Probisci began to uncurl from his cheeks.

 

[Enuf]

Luca stood rushing forward with his group, his face remained calm showing little emotion towards the slaughter of the Pirates. His eyes shifted upwards to the Pirates rushing on the catwalk overhead. A Total of five began to aim down from above and opening fire onto the group below with a barrage of Blaster-Fire. He stared up at them before nodding to himself his sabers deactivating before his hands shot up in a split second, his hands shot up in a spilt second his eyes closed as he reached out in the force gripping the metal supports that held the Cat-Walk above.

It didn't take long for the metal could be heard crunching and creaking under the pressure of the Force before fully ripped from the wall and breaking. The Catwalk dropped violently sending the group of pirates flying through the air as their support underneath their feet disappeared. Many of them fell straight into the flowing rivers of Lava as others impacted with the stone and dura-steel with a tremendous thud and a splatter. Luca turned his vision towards the advancing Sith Lords as he moved in a fast motion towards the entrance of the Mine, his feet bounced across the flooring with ease due. He rushed passed the Unnamed Sith and Red-Headed one he did not care to remember her name.

Approaching the entrance, as it was some sort of race between the Warriors to reach the entrance of the mine. Though another Large Human Pirate came rushing out towards the Mechanical Warrior letting out what one could presume to be a war cry. The Man rushed forward as it brought the vibro-axe far above his head, It was smart that he was attempting a different way to fight the Sith then dying by the hands of his own blaster. Though foolish to challenge him. The Siths blade activated as he held them out far to the side rushing towards him the axe coming down as he easily could side-step the Axe as it impacted into the Dura-steel digging into it. The Crimson blades lurched upward as they both connected with the Humans forearm slicing it through two different locations before they launched towards the side with a dangerous hum of energy as it connected into the Humans waist leaving him in two different pieces. He turned around to yell towards his comrades "How many kriffing hutt-spawn pirates are there?!"

 

[Gian Greydragon]

Siobhan stepped past the Gammorean to engage a vibrospear-wielding Epicantix, as he swung the large leaf-shaped spearhead at her with a swift horizontal swipe, to which Siobhan blocked and held with her basket hilts, long enough for her second lightsaber to ignite and strike the shaft, breaking it into two halves, with an inoperable vibro-motor. The humanoid came prepared with a pair of short-swords that stood up much better to lightsabers. Siobhan had to adopt a tight defense, in order to compensate for her lack of maneuverability, until an opening presented itself. Tucking in her elbow, she took up a Makashi stance, keeping her second lightsaber behind her in reserve. With precise, linear footwork, and a controlled defense, keeping her center linear with her opponent's, and moving as he did until one or committed step foiled the offensive for the Epicanthix, and Siobhan swiftly, parried one blade, and simultaneously lopping off his off-hand, and thrusting her lightsaber's basket hilt into the windpipe, with a powerful hammer-fist style strike, collapsing it completely.

As she stepped over him, she gripped the bladed end of the broken vibrospear, with the Force and hurdled it into a blaster-wielding humanoid, piercing his chest. "Ah'd we-ager a couple doz'!" she shouted, in response to Luca, just before a host of what seemed to be miners from within the mines had charged out, mining gear in hand to take out the attacking Sith. The looks on the faces at the front went pale at the sight of three lightsaber-wielding attackers that were undoubtedly Sith. Still they charged at the redhead, were felled quickly, leaving maybe four of ten men alive at the rear who were enlightened by the folly of their comrades that this was not a battle to easily be won, much less so with the mining equipment they possessed. Siobhan was not the merciful sort, she could always find more workers, but these men, had not even been fed before biting the hand. And so, none of these men were permitted to live any longer. Siobhan leapt from the railway up and over the miners cutting them off at the next bridge, upward and to the left of her previous position. The first man, presumably the most cowardly, as he led the retreat was met with a stiff right hook, with Siobhan's right hand. Shortly after that, the blades reignited and the three remaining men were cut swiftly to ribbons as they fell upon her blades.

 

[The Nameless One]

The fight wasn't over between the Nameless One and the Gamorrean. As the Nameless One leaned in to devour his brains, the fist of the creature came up and met him square in the face. The Gammorean was strong and the Nameless One came up and back but maintained his dominant position atop the Gammorean. At the same time a blade stabbed the air where his head had just been. Another pirate, this one an Arkanian, had attempted to kill him. The Nameless One grabbed his arm and threw him forward towards the edge of the rock platform. The Arkanian kicked the Gammorean in the face as he passed him, tripping and falling next to him. The Gammorean's other fist struck the Nameless one on the side, right about where his kidneys would be. The blow would've been sufficient to knock the Nameless One off of the Gammorean had the Arkanian not fallen over the Gammorean at the same time.

As the Arkanian got to his feet, the Nameless One pinned the Gammoreans arms and began to feed. The Arkanian turned as the Nameless One fed on the squealing pig. It's brains were greasy, but robust. It was a quite addicting flavor which the Sentient Nightmare had never encountered previously. The Arkanian swung his blade down, and the Nameless One activated his golden blade again angling it to intercept the Arkanian's attack.

There blades collided and the Arkanian brought his away and prepared to attack again. The Gammorean brains had not been fully consumed and the Nameless One rolled backwards as the sword came down again, this time becoming stuck in the dead pig's chest. The Arkanian struggled to free the blade as the Nameless One approached, taking his time.

He freed the blade, but it was too late. Just as it came out of the Gammorean, a rapid slash from the gold blade of the Anzati cleanly relieved the Arkanian of his own head. The Sentient Nightmare mused for a moment as the Arkanian stood headless with one arm raised, sword in hand as if he were going to be victorious. Then the body crumbled to the ground and the Nameless One returned to the other being he had left alive and proceeded to feed on him as the Gammorean, while tasty, had not been filling at all.

 

[Enuf]

Luca groaned at the seemingly endless waves of the Pirates. The Mechanical Sith waited for a moment, before deactivating his Blades as he stepped forward towards the Entrance of the Mine with a smug expression on his face. HIs hands tightened around the hilts of his blade as his foot steps gliding across the onyx stone and dura-steel as the remaining Miners rushed inside to "safety", he taunted yelling out "Run all you want, you Hutt Spawn. You wo-" of course his words swiftly shut down as the Blast-Doors snapped close in-front of his face and blocking his entrance to his mine. Well, that is what they thought as his blades reactivated swiftly before stabbing themselves into the Dura-Steel starting to cut through them with a slow and tedious process . It wasn't that it was hard, but there was a lot to slice through. Looking over his shoulder he yelled out once more "You can eat later! We have more to attend to! End who remain and aid me!"

 

[Gian Greydragon]

Siobhan took a quick look around her, noticing a group of humanoids, more intelligently armed with vibroswords, and light blasters one of which, was armed with a rather long vibro-rapier, taking up the center of the significantly wider bridge. This must have been a main mining shaft, and it would make sense for some more heavily armed guards. The pretentious-looking wielder of the rapier stepped forward from his men. "I've seen your skill from up here. I'd love to see it for my self. My men will hold fire, for now," he spoke, taking a couple steps forward, challenging the Sith, with a few yards between him and his men, all of which were chomping at the bit to fight.

Siobhan smirked, from underneath her opaque face-mask, and nodded, turning her head into the direction of her comrades, down one level from her, "Oy, don't wait up," she shouted down to them, as they sliced there way through the door below them. She grinned and brought both meter long blades to bear, against his singular meter-and-a-half-long blade on his rapier, as the two weapons filled the air with ominous hums as they approached each other, sizing one another up. Siobhan picked his stance apart bit by bit, noticing the style of his grip, and stance. He was a classically trained duelist. 'Those lot are so boring.' she thought to herself, and quickened her advance. The men behind the captain quaked with anticipation, and confusion as the man stood idle, blade in hand, extended in front of him. Those armed with blasters took aim, but did not fire, on Siobhan.

She swung high, at the tip of his rapier, in an attempt to knock it wide so she could circumvent his guard, but with subtle and controlled footwork, he riposted the strike back, keeping his distance, moving the blade in a circular motions to try and distract the Sith, before jabbing at her chest. Bringing her blades into an 'X' formation and pressing the blade downward and away from her body, following through with a swift advancing step, and jaw-bashing the man with the basket hilt, knocking him back, against his compatriots. "Ya might want the help, luv." she said, with a chuckle, and darted for him again, swinging wide, taking out two blaster-wielders that were next to him, before he dashed back to avoid the strike. The two behind the blaster-wielders raised their swords in defense, but were blasted backwards with the Force, one of them toppling over the railing and landing on the lower bridge where Siobhan's comrades were positioned. "One fer you, no-name!" she shouted, as she advanced on the captain, pushing him back through the blast doors of the mine behind him.

 

[The Nameless One]

The Nameless One rose from his second victim and answered the Mechanical Sith telepathically, "Later is promised to no being, and I am hungry now. Besides, that door is defenseless." The Nameless One began to walk forward to defend the other sith, although there was no one to defend him from as the remaining pirates, of which there were still many, had retreated to the more defensible inside of the mine. He had almost reached the door when a body fell to the ground with a thud. About the time it impacted a feminine voice could be heard, "one fer you No-name."

"Ah look," he sent to the Mechanical sith, "when food falls from the sky, it must be the will of the Force that I eat it." Then to the red haired sith above, "Many thanks, Goddess of Falling Feasts."

The man who had fell suffered a broken spine as his body smashed against the uneven onyx rock. The Nameless One leaned over him and fed again, the taste of this being was light and crisp, like water and yet had a hint of bitterness. He was light on the stomach, but between the three meals, the Anzati was content.

 

[Enuf]

"Goddess of Falling feasts..." Luca scowled jerking his blade down violently before his hand extended sending a large kinetic shockwave towards the now freshly cut door. It Impacted with the Dura-Steel exploding inwards as the metal wrapped around a pirate with a loud ear piercing scream. It threw them off guard as Luca entered through his new found hole as both blades would activate side-by side as his brow furrowed whipping around the corner of the now cut open blast door he would lash out towards the nearest Pirate who was regaining his balance from the large hunk of metal that just recently flew past him. His eyes widened as the Mechanical Sith struck his target watching him drop to the ground in a single swing. The Rest of the Crew began to regain their posture before screaming out "Target th' Robotic Bastard! 'tis only one Sith!"

The Barrage of gunfire erupted as Luca twirled his blades deflecting many of the bolts back towards the DEfenders barricades though. It was a weakness of a Force User though, concerted fire would take even the best down. His Blades would deactivate before skillfully rolling into the cover of a minecart.

 

[Siobhan Drust]

Keeping a balanced offense and defense, Siobhan beat the captain back, into the mine shaft, where his longer bladed weapon was of little use to him, limiting his angles of attack and defense, but still he maintained, and bore down on his back foot, shoving off of a blade lock, and hoping to end the engagement with a clean thrust through Siobhan's chest. To no avail, however, as Siobhan stepped to the left, shifting her body out of the way, and closing in again, but not to strike the captain himself, but his weapon. With a strong scissor strike to the lower third of the weapon caused the blade to break, leaving little more than a nub attached to a basket hilt. Siobhan's mischievous grin widened as he walked toward the man, and decapitated him with no time for him to beg for mercy.

After ending her dance with the captain, she followed the sound of gunfire, and ran toward it, encountering miners and guards along the way, and slaughtering them without second thought. Upon arriving to the aid of her comrades, she called the Force to her throat, and belted out a Force enhanced scream, that caused the group of guards to drop their weapons and cover their ears, some of them in front of here were blasted backwards due to the nature of the attack. As her mouth closed, her blades rekindled, and leapt in for an easy couple of kills, leaving some fun for her comrades.

 

[The Nameless One]

A thud could be heard behind the Nameless One as he finished feeding on the meal provided him from on high. He turned and approached the hole in the door. A few stray shots came out, he deflected these with relative ease. Then, a sudden wall of shots began to travel in his direction.

The Nameless One had no time to react in any way, except one. He held his dual bladed light saber out in front of him, activating the other blade, which was purple. He began to twirl the saber ahead of him in rapid repetitive circles deflecting shots back towards the pirates as he slowly advanced. Two of their lives were taken as a result of their own attacks.

Not all the shots were deflected, some merely were altered in course. Nothing had hit the Nameless One yet, but he was certain that unless something happened, that would remain the case.

Then something happened. The pirates broke their line and scattered into the mine. At food eat the Nameless One thought I had been due to fear, but as he looked further down the shaft he saw a single pirate, whom bore the most ill-intentioned grin the Nameless One had ever witnessed. He found it endearing even as the pirate pulled the trigger of the weapon over his shoulder and a missile came screaming down the shaft in his direction.

He ran back the missile closing in on him. He dived into one of the narrow side access ways, as the missile missed him by mere millimeters. He scrambled to drag himself forward, and the missile erupted against what was left of the door they had entered through. The roaring flames engulfed all the area the Nameless One had travelled, and even passed over himself. Setting his cloak ablaze and singing his skin. The Anzat, on fire, rolled furiously to either side extinguishing those flames. His armor was ruined, and the burns he sustained stung irritably. He had avoided sustaining life threatening injuries however.

 

[Enuf]

Luca sighed watching the Anzat ignite in flames, his eyes sat on the Pirate now reloading his rocket. He wasn't going to have the chance to turn him into a burning pile of meat. Fire is what made Luca lose his arm and he was far from fond of it. Darting out from behind the Mine Cart he so skillfully taken cover behind he focused on that Rocketeer and only him. The World began to slow around him in his vision as he rushed forward. This made it easy to deflect the bolts flying at him in a attempt to sunder his rapid Advance.

Sparks flew as Lucas blades activated along the ground, slicing into the Durasteel as they dragged behind. A Faint smile came over his face as he spotted the Rocketeers eyes starting to widen as he brought up the Rocket to fire once more--This was not the chance he got as Lucas wrist flung forward deactivating his Hilt as it slide inbetween his legs, it was easy for Mechanical Sith to grab it once more with the pure power of the force, he was already focusing and ready to act as it activated and he yanked back towards him. The Blade flew through the air with invisible force behind it impacting into the back of the Pirate, the crimson blade spurting out the front. It took only another second for him to collapse onto the ground with a dull thud.
