The Unknown was enjoying this, watching down at this foe as he searched for him. He was standing on a ledge, watching over the situation, and noticed that this man was right where The Unknown wanted him at. He was under the fire escape ladder, and if the hatch was released, the ladder would come down and right onto his foe. Leaning foward, The Reminder only had a second to hear the latch being cut as The Unknown leaped straight over him and landed out in The Light as the ladder was released and dropped down towards it's target.

As the ladder dropped overhead, so did The Reminder, falling straight into the floor. It was foolish for the faceless one to come out into the light, hopefully it would be the last mistake the clawdite ever made.
He instantly phased out of the ground near the Faceless swordsman and attempted to plunge his hand into the body of the Faceless one. If he suceeded it would be like all pain in hell. He had almost made Aros, the famed assassin, scream in pain when he had performed this trick. Mister Ather thought even less of this man.
"A man who hides in the darkness," The Reminder mused, eyes glowing menacingly, "what cowardice."
Smoke rose from the brim of his hat, rising slowly into the night air.

"Your titles you give mean nothing." As he spoke, a small object crept out from his sleave and into his gloved hand. Knowing this new foe was right behind him, a small grin appeared under his dark hood as he quickly spinned around and aimed his palm at this man while looking away. Before he, or anyone else could tell what it was, a large flash emited from his palm, blinding anyone who did not look away or have protective eye wear.
Taking this chance, The Unknown backflipped away from the man, drawing both of his swords as he slowly crept back towards the Darkness in the area.

"No you don't..." He growled as the Faceless one barely avoided his fingertips. He spun on his heel and quickly opened fire in the direction of the last position he had seen the clawdite.
"Nowhere to hide..." He muttured under his breath, as the slugs he had fired set fire to the objects it hit. Grass, wood, and speeders. If anything it started to light up the place, leaving fewer shadows to hide in.

Throwing his blades infront of him, he blocked one of the bullets with his blades as he smacked another with his blade, suprisingly sending it back towards it's master. However, Darkness was dissapearing and was his advantage, meaning he would have to -
Gasp! Something had slammed into his knee. Leaning down as he slammed one sword into the ground to prevent him from falling, the other blade falling and clattering to the ground. One hand gripping his sword that was plunged into the ground as his other hand rested aganst the ground to prevent him from falling, The Unknown could feel a burning pain in his knee as blood seeped from it.
"You are a fool! Don't you get it? Even if you destroy me, you have still lost! You will be undoing the very work I have set out to shape this Galaxy!"

"As if I cared about this galaxy." The Reminder eyes glinted with contempt, instantly phasing and allowing the slug the fly through him and hit nothing but the wall behind him.
He fired another slug at the other knee and two shots to the arm and shoulder. "You think I care about the money? You think I care about what you're wanted for?"
Smoke slowly arose from the being of Mister Ather, silently floating into the night sky. He called out to the Jedi, he hadn't seen them for awhile but he had a feeling they were stilll there.
"I want you to see this Jedi. I want you to see that you are no longer the great protectors of the galaxy, that you are useless, worthless, and the galaxy now deems you expendable."
"I want you to know that you have failed, at everything."
He said his last words to no one in particular, or to all of them at the same time. With that, he aimed and fired a single slug aimed for the clawdites forhead.
"Contract complete. May God have mercy on you."

When The Unknown collapsed, his hood flew off to reveal once more The Reminder staring down at himself. A smile formed on his face as he felt a quick piercing hit him through the fore head and out the back of his head and through his hood. The sword remained stuck in the street, it's weilder now dead as his face slowly reverted to his natural look as his hair formed into a long black length and his left eye going dead white. His left hand was clutching his chest, something under his coat was in his cold dead grip.

The fires were under control now. But there was no victory. Amaterasu hung her head low, feeling that another life has left this world through savage means. She waited for Rhi to act, as this was her trial.
((Check my previous post lavi, you were... removed.... from fire duty.))
Rhi smiled. Something seemed to change in how they were fighting. The cloud of smoke seemed to be increasing the frequency of his attacks until, rather suddenly, the changling took a hit. Hmm.... she pondered slowly to herself. Her brow creased in thought. Now, now it is time. crouching, she called much of her strength in the force and sped herself up. For all intents and purposes, she just appeared over the clawdite, both sabers in hand.
Her voice was quiet and menacing, and there was a gleam in her eye that few jedi would ever share. She was not a dark jedi, but neither was she light. Rarely was this more obvious than when she took a stand. "You've had your fun. It's time for you to leave."

His eyes glowed and smoke rose from the brim of his hat.
"You really are stupid aren't you Jedi." He said, bending down and picking up one of the clawdite's swords, when it had dropped it had clattered near The Reminder. "But you are right, seeing as our friend left us a parting gift. I bid you farewell... fool."
He gestured dubiously to the device that the clawdite clutched at his chest, chuckling at the stupidity of the Jedi before tapping the brim of his hat.
"I would say it was nice knowing you, but it wasn't."
With that, he dissapeared into the floor.

The Unknown Man, known as The Faceless Swordsman who left a small trail of death in his wake for reasons only he knew and where now gone with him, was dead. Only one of his crystaline swords remained struck in the ground as his corpse remained where it was, a soft beeping sound heard from his body, where his hand was clutching his chest. If the Jedi had any of there "Jedi Senses" or even knew what The Reminder said about gift, or the rumors of The Unknown Man's reputation for leaving no evidence of him, then they knew there was not a gift of chocolates under his chest.
Clutching one of the fallen swords as she ran, curious enough about it to risk her life to get it, she ran almost in reverse of how she'd come down. She wasn't quite fast enough tho, and her back side received several good-sized shrapnel wounds distributed fairly evenly along her body. She still had the sword, however, and whatever virtue it held, seemed to hold the crystal together during the assault.
Much slowed now, she slowly dropped to the ground, shunting aside the pain to land, awkwardly, but without too much damage or pain. Bleeding, she continued to walk down the street, heading back to the speeder.

Seconds later, the beeping stopped. A white flash emited as a large explosion ruptured from The Unknown, completly destroying his body, along with anyone or anything within the small area of the blast. The explosion was both loud, blinding, and brought a small shockwave to the immediate area, nothing would survive in the explosion. When the flash died down, the after math was shown as there was a small crater where the explosion happened, the ground and walls in the area were scorched and half destroyed, and nothing remained of The Unknown.
