[This roleplay takes place in cloud city where a rag tag force of rebels has been found it will be sith against squads of rebels each squad is led by a jedi. Anyone can join]
Darth Thrax
[I will help you with this mission as I am the Moff of Bespin.]
Darth Rachk
[thx]
Darth Thrax
[Anyone may join though I was hoping that only apprentices would join. Make sure that it sticks to the main plot which is eliminating the small Jedi forces and finding the source of the uprising and bringing the information to me.]
Inquisitor Thrax sat aboard the Inevitable Reign and tapped his armrest. He looked at Bespin through the glass with dark, cold eyes and stood up. He turned around towards the small Sith force that they would need to crush the uprising and he glared. In the corner of his eye, he noticed his apprentice standing in the shadows and could sense the readiness for this fight. This would be his first mission, but it surely wouldn't be his last. He still had many, many years left in him to prove his worth and this mission would help him show it.
Darth Rachk
" Master,"Iyezo said stepping out of the shadows," How shall we proceed with the elimination?"
Lucius Black
((Let's just assume for this RP that Lucius is farther along in his training than he actually is.))
Lucius Black remained dead silent as a group of rebels passed over the drainage gate he'd managed to wriggle into. The sweat was beading from his head and he could only hope that no voices rang through the comlink connected to his wrist. The Rebels had been hunting him since his ship crashed into a spaceport in the floating city. He'd been shot down by rebels and they'd been on his tail every step of the way. Fighting them along would have been suicide. The numbers would have overwhelmed him, but Lucius managed to shake them off in an apartment in the heart of the city. Now here was, waiting for them to leave the area in a drainage tunnel.
Once he was sure they were gone, Lucius Black rushed deeper into the dark, smelly tunnel and pulled the comlink up to his face. "This is Black," he conveyed desperately. "I'm broadcasting on all friendly channels. Rebels have taken over Cloud City. There may be Jedi with them, but I... I'm not sure. I need assistance. Repeat, Rebels have taken over the...." Lucius turned off the comlink and stood perfectly still. He had heard footsteps farther into the tunnel, they were getting closer.
Darth Thrax
Thrax glared at Iyezo and paced before the troops. "As you can already hear", Thrax nodded towards the broadcasting station, "Lucius is already inside the city and he needs assistance." Thrax pointed at the troops and said, "I want every one of you to group up in three's and head into different sections of the city."
Thrax headed through the blast door with Iyezo at his side and dozen's of troops behind him. They entered the main hangar bay after heading down a few narrow hallways and the men began to pair up. "Iyezo, I want you to look for Lucius as soon as you land. Get moving." The young Sith nodded and got into a small fighter with two other men. Thrax headed to The Pride of Iridonia and got settled in. He turned on his comlink and began to speak harshly. "Men, we must stop this uprising. Bespin will not be taken over by these Jedi scum or anyone else for that matter. Alpha and Beta Squads will head to the East and hold there. Delta and Omega Squads will head to the West and hold there also. Once my apprentice, Iyezo, receives word from Lucius, he will head to his position and join up with Alpha Squad in the East sector."
Thrax fired up his Patrol Fighter and soon heard the same from the other fighters. He lifted into the air and flew out into the silent dark vastnes of space. He saw the groups get into their formations and they began to call out coordinates to eachother. This wouldn't be as easy as they thought it would be.
Darth Rachk
As Iyezo entered Bespins atmospere he radioed in to Thrax "Brother I'm experiencing difficulties with my ships controls," he could here the chatter of other pilots having the same problems. He tried flipping a few switches but nothing seemed to help. " We're going to have to land quickly."
Darth Thrax
"I noticed it too, Iyezo." Thrax said over the channel. After a few moments of flicking switches and pressing buttons, the beeping started to slow down and eventually die off. He could hear the sigh of relief as the other soldiers also got their ships working normally. He maintained calm as he slowly descended on an old landing pad on the outskirts of the city. No shots were being fired and no sirens were going off so this was a good sign. He unstrapped himself out of the seat and got out of his ship, silently.
"Master Thrax, this is Alpha Squad. We are on the ground with no signs of hostiles around. Shall we proceed with the mission?""Yes, but proceed with caution. All comlinks will be shut off for the duration of the mission until we find Lucius and/or if you are in need of assistance. Until then I want this channel clear. Also, Prophet Odin will be grouping up with Beta Squad and Master Nighthawk will assist Delta Squad. Beta Squad, your new assignment is to find out what exactly happened when our ships began to malfunction. Delta Squad, you will assist Master Nighthawk in her mission to find a detour into Cloud City. They will be on ground shortly. Good luck to you all."
Superior Nighthawk
Vala was in her ship heading to Cloud City. She was thinking about the best place to get in unnoticed. It seemed the best place would be between levels 221 and 280, where factories were located.
Her ship was in stealth mode and she had her force presence hidden like she did on most missions.
Lucius Black
Lucius awoke to a searing pain in his skull. Something had cracked it, of that he was sure. What he wasn't sure about was his location. Everything was pitch black and his hands and feet had been bound. Any attempts to break the bindings were proving unsuccessful. Frustrated at his situation, Lucius meditated. He called out to other Sith in the vacinity to help him. He needed it.
Darth Rachk
[Is anyone else in alpha squad besides myself and Lucious?]
Iyezo had just landed on an outer, more so abandoned landing platform when he heard Lucious's need for assistance. Iyezo could tell that he was deep in the center of the city.
"Lucious is in trouble," Iyezo said aloud. He reached out with the force scanning the near by perimisis for life forms that could prove to be a threat. None were found in the immediate area. Iyezo looked across the empty landscape of Cloud City, the reddish buildings high in the unique skyline, Iyezo began his search for Lucious.
Lucius Black
The lights in the room flickered on, interupting Lucius's meditation. It took his eyes a moment to adjust to the light. When they finally did, he could see the reality of his situation. Two rebels, dressed in rough military clothing and carrying blaster rifles had stepped into what appeared to be a reception area with him. One had darker skin and the other was a bit chubbier. They stepped around the center dip in the floor in loose conversation with each other. The chubby one first spoke with a self-assured tone of voice. "Look what we got here," he said to the other man. "Some Imperial scum. What do you think we 'ought to do with him?" The dark skinned man didn't seem so happy. "Stop fooling around, you oaf. You know what we need to do," he said.
Before the other man could speak back, Lucius lashed out at both of them with the Force, knocking their bodies limply across the far wall and relieving them of their duty. The two had been knocked unconscious. Out of nowhere, a large panel of what was previously thought to be the wall lifted and folded into the ceiling, revealing a window overlooking Cloud City. Lucius assumed one of the rebels' bodies had hit the switch for it. They were keeping him high up in a some form of office building. Lucius couldn't shake the feeling that he was being used as bait.
Darth Thrax
Thrax heard voices and he immediately crouched behind a stack of boxes. He closed his eyes and began to focus on the voices. "Did you here about the Imperial spy that they captured? Apparently, the Sith have received word about the Jedi in Cloud City. Anyways, we should head ba-" The soldiers words were cut off as Thrax began to choke him through the Force. The other soldier was about to fire at him, but the Zabrak sent a strong burst of air at him, sending him flying over the edge of the platform. Thrax could hear the bones in the man's neck began to crack and he felt his body go limp so he tossed him over the edge aswell. "It seems that they have located and captured Lucius. Continue with your specific orders, but if you find him, report it over the comlink."
Darth Rachk
By now, Iyezo was deep inside Cloud City. He was nearing a an intersection of the path way he was on and another running perpindicular to it, when he began to hear the faint thuds of foot steps. He could tell by the number thuds that their were at least six people.
Iyezo reached out with the force, he did not detect any force users. He got off the path and hid behind a building. The small troop of rebels turned on to the path he was on previously.
Rebel scum, he thought to himself. Iyezo let them pass, he then ignited his newly constructed dual bladed light saber, taking a moment to admire the crimson blades.
"You hear something," one of the rebels asked.
"No, you haven't had much rest lately, its probably just sleep deprivation," another rebel said.
Iyezo then jumped from his hiding spot, then dashed in between the rebels letting his light saber slice them all in two. "They didn't even have enough time two draw there blasters,"Iyezo chuckled. He then hid the bodies so any passers by wouldn't see them and sound an alarm.
Fien'Dur
{ Can i come into this somehow?}
Darth Thrax
[I'm fine with it. Go ahead and make a post about how you landed in Cloud City when you heard that there was a Jedi uprising. Try to make your posts detailed and atleast four or more sentences long. Proper grammar and punctuation is also key.]
Fien'Dur
After Iyezo's disposal of the six troops, Fien slowly walked out of the concealment of the shadows. Iyezo quickly drew his lightsaber when he sensed the his presence expecting a fight. " I do not wish to fight you " Fien says calmly. " I heard of an uprising on cloud city, so i came here to see what i could do to help". Iyezo responded, well maybe you could help me find Lucius". Fien said with a hint of hidden knowledge " Of course ".
Darth Rachk
[Onne thing you should edit on your post, is you should hide your force preasence hidden other wise I would have detected you and wouldnt be the least bit startled by your preasence]
Fien'Dur
{ well you said that you were hiding the bodies and it really didn't make since that you could since my force presence}.
Darth Rachk
[You dont have to try to sense someone you just do]
Darth Rachk
As Iyezo and his older cousin Fien traveled deeper in to the city, they talked of their home world, Iridonia, and how Iyezo didn't remember much of it, because he was taken at such a young age.
They stopped at a closed cantina, "Do you sense it Fien," Iyezo asked,"Theirs a Jedi in there." The two sith Zabrak ignited their lightsabers and walked slowly in to the cantina. Their were about thirty rebels in the main room. They both used powerful force push taking out ten, then the rest reached for their blasters. The two sith began to block and reflect the rebels useless shots from their blasters. Then Iyezo let forth a surge of lightning from his hands. by then there were only two left in the main room. Iyezo lifted one off the ground, leaving the other for Fien to toy with. Iyezo lightly slamed the rebel in to the ground only causing minor injuries( fractured bones and what not) he laughed wikidley as he did, finally as Iyezo grew bored of the torture, he through his lightsaber impaling the rebel scum.
He looked over, Fien had sliced the other in to small round pieces."The Jedi is in there," Iyezo said motioning his head towards a door leading in to a small private v.i.p. room. The Jedi stood slowly igniting his single bladed blue lightsaber.
"Koh-to-yah," Iyezo said, sarcastically. Fien let forth a blast of lightning only to be blocked by the Jedi's saber. Taking this time advantage Iyezo sent a powerful force push towards the Jedi's middle. As he hit the wall Fien dashed forward and stabbed through his arm piercing through to the wall. The Jedi screamed in a terrible agony. Iyezo then shocked him briefly as Fien removed his lightsaber.
The Jedi staggered up and made a poor strike towards Fien. Iyezo then sliced the Jedi's arm off in mid strike. Fien turned and stabbed through his middle. Iyezo then ended his mizerey by cutting off his head.
"Jedi scum," Fien spat.
Superior Nighthawk
Vala landed her ship behind a tall building that was surrounded by a thick brick wall. Her ship fit perfectly behind it. The smoke coming from the factories turned the sky orange and the air smelled like burning rubber. Vala just had one thing on her mind... slaughtering Jedi.
She made her way up to the top of the building and surveyed the view. She spotted two Jedi patroling the area.
Fien'Dur
" We should have gotten some information on the whereabouts of Lucius before we killed them, acting to soon out of hate isn't the way to make a rescue ". Iyezo realizing the truth of Fien's words looked away in dissapointment. " I'm going to ask around to see if any of the people in the cantina know anything, i advise you to do the same. Fien and Iyezo separated and stated asking the customers in the cantina. Fien slowly walked to the bartender who clearly seen the entire battle, asked " I need some information ". The frightened bartender became to be calm as Fien's dominate mind affect started to set in. " All i know is that a sith apprentice was captured and taken prisoner, his cell is being guarded by two jedi and and some troops, but i don't have a clue as to where the cell is ". Fien frustratingly asked, " Is that all the information you have "? Quickly the bartender answered " Yes ". And in a flash second Fien slashed him as he ignited his blade in a vertical line from his head down.
" Iyezo , let's go. I have obtained some information, but not enough, let's just use the force and find him ".
Darth Thrax
[Try to have corect punctuation next time, Fien. I like how you made you post detailed though. And remember, I'm just giving you pointers. ]
The sky began to slow darken as the sun set behind Cloud City. The slight breeze seemed to cool down the Sith master as he continued his search for the Jedi behind the uprising. He had heard countless reports on Jedi sightings from the soldiers that had came to the city with him, but he had yet to find a single one. Then came a suprise.
As he rounded a corner, two Jedi were heading down the alley. They immediately stopped and turned to face him, obviously noticing his presence. Thrax exhaled forcefully and ignited his emerald blade, prepared for the duel. "We don't want to have to kill you, Sith, but we will if there is no other way to deal with the situation." As Thrax took a step closer they ignited their blue blades and one pulled out a comlink. "Master, a Sith is in the city. There may be others in the vicinity."
Thrax shook his head and his eyes began to turn a pale orange. He bared his teeth and then lunged forward. He blocked the first strike from the first Jedi then he quickly spun out of the way of the other Jedi's attack. He took a step back, ignited his other emerald blade and slashed downward with both blades on the first Jedi. He kicked the other Jedi back forcefully as he lunged at him and he continued to press his blades down harder. He sensed the other Jedi about to slash his back and he quickly backed away and crouched. In an instant, Thrax jabbed his blades into the stomach and chest of the Jedi and pulled them out. The Jedi slowly fell to the floor, but before his face hit the floor, Thrax used the Force to slam his body into the other Jedi. He immediately jumped in the air and stabbed through the body of the dead Jedi while the other Jedi was still under it. He exhaled forcefully once more and then threw the bodies over the edge of the platform, continuing his search for the main source of the uprising.
Fien'Dur
{ Should I wait For Iyezo to reply on our part? }
Lucius Black
Lucius could feel the intensity of battle along with the presence of the Dark Side. There was no doubt that the Sith had arrived - hopefully with intent to free him. Pulling on the bindings was proving fruitless and simply sapped him of precious energy. Unusually, nobody had come to check on the unconscious guards. With nothing left to do but wait, Lucius meditated. Calling out once again to other Sith in the area.
Darth Rachk
As Iyezo and Fien walked down a narrow street of cloud city, Iyezo suddenly felt a presence. It was Lucius, Iyezo then looked over to his cousin Fien, "I sense it to," he said.
They both looked up to an office building, only a silhouette back lit by the setting sun," Thats where he's being held," Iyezo said." Looks like that Jedi wasn't much of a loss after all," he chuckled.
As they continued to make their way to the tall building that Lucius was in two Jedi rounded the corner that Iyezo and Fien were approaching. One of them withdrew two blue light sabers and twirled them both in a figure eight motion, the other took out a comm link and said " Master we have come across two more sith apprentices we'll bring'em in."
"You sound a little over confident," Iyezo said in a deep growling voice. The two sith Zabrak withdrew their lightsaber simultaniously mirroring each other. The other Jedi hid his comm link in his robes and withdrew a green light saber.
The one with the two blue lightsabers made the first move slashing down at Fien, only to be blocked by Iyezo, once Fien was out of the way Iyezo brought down the blade that was blocking and attacked with the rear blade from behind only to be blocked the two struggled there for a few moments then the Jedi flipped backwards jumping in to the air, Iyezo took this opportunity and slamed the Jedi into the ground.
Fien'Dur
"I'll take the older Jedi with the green lightsaber".
Fien turned back to face the Jedi and quickly blocked his slash and countered with an attack at his side. The Jedi intercepted the attack and pushed Fien back with a force push causing him to stumble backwards. Fien could tell he was strong with the force but lacked skill with a lightsaber.
Iyezo blocked both of the Jedi's blades and redirected them and rolled behind him, and slashed the Jedi' back with the crack of his light-whip and he cried out with a deep and loud yell full of pain.
Fien jumped back up and charged towards the Jedi sending a flurry of attacks trying to exhaust his opponent untill he found an error in the Jedi' blocks and with a wrist rotation sliced the Jedi' right hand causing him to fall to Fiens feet with a muffled yell.
Darth Rachk
Iyezo then re-sheathed his lightwhip bringing out his double bladed light saber out again. The Jedi Jumped to his feat, but staggered in pain from the wound on his back, Iyezo the let forth a powerful attack from above but the Jedi blocked it. Iyezo then countered with a rising slash from underneath. The Jedi blocked it with his other saber.
"You're skilled in the arts of combat,"Iyezo said, "Its to bad you have to die, you would make a great sparring partner. Oh well," Iyezo then started to laugh evilly. He then dashed forward folding for an attack. He struck, even though the Jedi blocked the attack the shier force of the attack drove the Jedi back, burning the inside of his leg because his arms weren't strong enough to support the sheer force of the strike.
Fien'Dur
Fien was eager to finish this battle and with a deep exhale of breath sheathed his double-bladed lightsaber and then force lightninged the mutilated Jedi while simultaneously picking him up with the force. Fien then brought forth his right hand and force chocked him to his death, then discontinued the attacks and slammed him to the ground. "Such a pathetic excuse for a Jedi", he spat at the ground and turned away from the dead Jedi.
Fien turned to inspect his younger cousin's battle. Iyezo was brilliant with his decisions and thats what made him a great fighter. Iyezo was fast and making short work of his opponent trying to end the battle as fast as possible.
Darth Rachk
The Jedi cried out in pain. Iyezo thought to him self Haha, must of got a little bit more than his leg there. Iyezo rolled the two blades around and over his head cutting through the rest of his leg, while the other side of Iyezo's blade cut off his left leg.
The Jedi fell to the ground screaming in agony. Iyezo loomed over the Jedi savoring the victory, and the hilarity of the Jedi's defeat. Right as Iyezo was about to end the Jedi's pitiful excuse of a life, the Jedi mustered up his remaining strength and sent a powerful force push towards Iyezo. Iyezo landed on his feet a few meters back.
"YOU PITIFUL COWERING SON OF A KATH HOUND!! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT, THAT OF ALL THINGS WOULD HAVE SAVED YOU!?!"Iyezo then picked up the Jedi with the force and pressed him against a wall.Iyezo was putting emence pressure on the Jedi squeezing the life out of him. Iyezo felt his bones give way, and then let the limp lifeless body fall to the ground.
Fien'Dur
"You should really get better insults". Fien raised the comlink to his lips"Thrax, we've come across two Jedi and defeated them, and we're on our way to the main hold to rescue Lucius, Fien'Dur out".
"Come on Iyezo, lets go". Fien and Iyezo advanced towards the tall building to get the captured sith.
Darth Rachk
"I'm open to any suggestions you might have cousin," Iyezo said, chuckling as he looked over at the nubby body of a former Jedi,"Lets move on, I can sense more troops coming this way."
Iyezo walked over to the now deceased Jedi, and picked up one of his light sabers and igniting the blue blade.
"Iyezo! What are you doing," Fien demanded,"You said yourself we should be going."
"Be patient, this wont take but a second,"Iyezo looked at the blue blade,"I'm keeping these, as trophy's." Iyezo picked up the other one, and concealed them deep in his robes."Okay, lets go," Iyezo said walking past Fien, flipping his hood up.
Fien'Dur
Fien and Iyezo advanced to the tall building and entered through two wide metal doors. "I only keep lightsabes of a fallen Jedi if they are formidable opponents, so go ahead and keep em".
The two Zabrak sith entered through an elevator shaft and made their way to the captured sith. The elevator stopped at it's designation, the door opened and up ahead was Lucius in his cell guarded by a Jedi master and six troops.
"Well Iyezo, get ready for another fight"." Great, i love killing Jedi"!
Darth Thrax
The orange glow of the sun was now faint behind the endless spires of Cloud City and the city was getting more active although it was nearly pitch black. Thrax silently stepped through countless hallways, as if in a neverending maze, until he finally came to a small doorway. He clicked the dim green button on the wall next to it and the door slid open. Thrax's eyes quickly adjusted to the white light that gleamed brightly and he could hear footsteps in the distance. He tapped the button again and stepped back into the darkness. As he waited, he could hear the steps getting closer and suddenly the door opened.
"I could've sworn that I heard this door open."
"You're just worried about the Sith. Thats why the Jedi are here. They'll stop them for us."
"I hope you're right."
The bodies of the two rebels slowly fell to the ground as Thrax walked through the door and into the building, de-activating his lightsaber.
"Link up to my tracking device. I have found the source of the uprising."
Darth Rachk
The troop of rebels quickly opened fire on the two Zabrak warriors. They both dove out of the way in opposite direcctions, both landing behind ridges in the wall alowing them cover.
Iyezo saw Lucius on the ground, bound by magno-cuffs. Iyezo waved his hand towards Lucius deactivating the cuffs, and threw one of the light sabers he collected from his previous engagement with a Jedi over to Lucius, sensing he was unarmed.Lucius then sprung up off the ground igniting the blue blade and engaging the Jedi in combat.
Destracted, the rebels turned around for a split second, to see what had happened. Iyezo then dashed out from his shelter, sliced two of the rebels heads off, and stabbed another through the chest. As the rest of the rebels turned back around to see what had be headed their former comrades, Iyezo jumped backwards landing behind Fien, who was now in the middle of the room with his lightsaber ignited ready to redirect the shots from the rebels blasters.
Fien'Dur
Fien ducked dodging incoming lasers, then deflected some back to the enemy making his way towards the troops. Fien then hurled the remaining troops back into a wall with a force wave.
Lucius was still weary and weak from being captured and was having a difficult time fighting the Jedi master. Fien was energized and eager to challenge a Jedi of his rank. Iyezo and Fien went rushing in to engage in combat with the Jedi.
The Jedi turned and withdrew his focus from Lucius and readied himself for the the two incoming sith. "Lucius, go back to the elevator and wait for us there." Lucius retreated from battle and exited through the elevator.
Lucius Black
Nobody had to tell Lucius twice to leave the fight. A coward, he was not, but he knew his physical limitations. He'd been drained from attempting to release himself and killing the guards. The two Iridonians could take care of the scum. Lucius caught a glimpse of one getting his head sliced off just before the elevator door could close.
The irony of the calm, soft elevator music distracted Lucius momentarily. He had to plan his next move carefully. It was difficult to determine the situation of Cloud City through the Force and Lucius's comlink had been taken by his captors. The next logical move would be to find another Sith or any Imperial teams or police that where fighting in the city. Lucius ran his hands over the silver hilt of a Jedi's lightsaber, faintly stained with blood. He was hoping that the two Jedi above him would find his own lightsaber after they were finished, but he wasn't expecting it. They would be too busy and it was understandable.
Lights dimply flashed through the cracks along the edges of the door as he descended. Lucius peeked at the level counter. 5 floors to the lobby.
Darth Rachk
After the last of the troops were killed, Iyezo then leaped over his cosin bringing his lightsaber over his head. The Jedi turned around just in time to block Iyezo's attack. Iyezo then fliped backwards releashing a powerful storm of force lightnin towards the Jedi, only to be blocked by his lightsaber. Iyezo stoped the lightning, and sent a powerful force push towards the Jedi. He laned on his back, lightsaber still in hand, not a second later Fien dashed over and slashed towards the Jedis middle even though the Jedi blocked the attack the power sent him sliding acrossed the slick tile floor. The Jedi hit the wall with a thud. Fien jumped in to the air with intent of stabbing the Jedi in his face, but the Jedi sent a force push towards Fien sending him towards the other side of the room.
" Heheheh,you fight like cowards, two sith against an old Jedi master? Heh, Im not giving you two the peasure." He headed towards the window then jumped out shattering the glass
" NO!!!!!" Iyezo caught him in mid flight and flung him to one side of the room, bashing him against a wall. In the fun he heard a clink on the ground, it was Lucius's lightsaber, he recognized it from their duel , Lucius , I found your lightsaber, meet us outside.
Iyezo released the Jedi and then Fien let loose a flurry of attacks.
Darth Thrax
Thrax could feel through he Force that the two apprentices released Lucius from the Jedi and were ready to continue on with their mission. He could also feel that the Jedi were aware of his presence within the hidden base and voices began to echo throughout the hallways. He heard the humming of lightsabers nearby and went in the opposite direction. Iyezo, Fien, Lucius, I am in the rebel base. It's located underground. Link up to my tracking device and get here now. He knew that they would receive the message, but did not know when they would arrive. As he turned the corner, four Jedi were waiting for him, lightsabers ignited. The Sith inhaled deeply and activated his blade while taking a step back and getting into a defensive stance.
Lucius Black
Lucius stepped out of the elevator and into the lobby. It resembled the kind found in financial towers or fancy hotels - a glass chandelier hung from the high ceiling and a soft chairs lined the walls. The room he was being held in was most likely a storage area. Lucius had little to do but wait for the other Sith to come down and join him. Moving through Cloud City alone wouldn't have been a smart move. There was strength in numbers, and the uprising on the city in the sky was quickly becoming one big numbers game.
Fien'Dur
Fien, watched the Jedi get thrown around as he was getting up and it was kind of pathetic. Fien re-ignited both ends of his red blade and sent a flurry of attacks at the jedi master. Iyezo joined in on the attack with his lightsaber and sending a flurry of attacks as well.
The Jedi master wasn't prepared to take on two Sith Zabrak, both with double bladed lightsabers, and his defense was starting to slip. Fien said to Iyezo with the force. "He's not going to defeat us, let's just finish this. The sooner the better."
Darth Thrax
Thrax spun under a slash that was aimed at his neck and jabbed his lightsaber into the gut of the apprentice. The Jedi's mouth dropped open as Thrax pulled his saber higher up. The zabrak warrior bared his teeth as he stared into the blue eyes of the dying Jedi and finally pulled his saber right up through his skull. The body crumpled to the ground and Thrax used the Force to throw the body into a storage compartment where he put the other three bodies. He closed the door and deactivated his emerald saber, heading down the next corridor. Fien, Iyezo, Lucius, get here now! Thrax growled through the Force.
Darth Rachk
Iyezo and Fien finished the master, slicing him into pieces with their combination of deadly flurries. The two sith apprentices walked silently across the room to the elevator at its rear, they then descended to the lobby where Lucius was waiting for them. Iyezo then threw Lucius's lightsaber to him when the elevator doors opened.
"We need to find Darth Thrax. He's near, I can feel him. We just need to find a way to get to him," Iyezo said, with a tone of urgency in his voice, and continued,"He's in the lower levels we need to find an access point."
Fien'Dur
After the defeat of the Jedi Master they regrouped. Fien and Iyezo made their way to the bottom floor and added Lucius to their party and continued to find the Gatesmaster. Fien hastily said to Iyezo as he walked, "Where is Master Thrax?" Iyezo replied with the information Thrax had told him.
Fien stumbled over an Exhaust vent, and cursed angrily with a sinister growl. Iyezo and Lucius couldn't help but utter a slight laugh as he tripped. Fien just gave a wicked and serious look, "If Master Thrax is at the lower levels, we can just go through here." Fien ignited one end of his red blade and cut a hole around the exhaust vent. Then ripped it out of place with the force and hurled it away, cursing as it was being lobbed. Lucius and Iyezo still grinning about the situation.
The three apprentices dropped down the vent, separating warm smoke as they fell. "See if you can track him through his transmission signal, Iyezo", Fien said as they walked through the tunnels.
Darth Rachk
As they landed on one of the lower levels Iyezo pulled out his tracking beacon and linked up to his masters. As he did a small red blinking dot appeared on the three dimensional holo read out of the device.
"We're right here," Iyezo said pointing to another red dot on the read out, although this one wasn't blinking,"Thrax is here, hes on the lowest possible level of Cloud City. All we have to do is work our way through this metal labyrinth until we're there, a simple enough task." He put the device back in to his robes after taking one last look at it, getting more familiar with their surroundings."Hide your presence, surprise is our greatest ally," Iyezo said leading the way in to the dark inners of the city.
Fien'Dur
Fien, Iyezo and Lucius made there way through the underground tunnels slowly and with caution, and approaching several delays along the way. After about half an hour of navigation through the hot and dark tunnels, Fien noticed Lucius was running on his reserved energy, barely getting any ground. "Why don't you just find your ship and leave once we get out of here, you're getting weak and tired, and to be honest, you won't be any good to us if you're dead," Fien said to Lucius as they approached a metal gate within the tunnels. Lucius complied with the recommendation and was more than ready to be off this planet and into his own quarters.
Iyezo and Fien both sensed the presence of Thrax close by, and this door would bring them even closer to the rendezvous point, and meet with Thrax. Iyezo ignited his crimson blade and cut a hole around the metal door, and walked through. Fien simply reached for the handle and pushed it open while making eye contact with Iyezo. "It was already unlocked", Fien said with a grin. They walked through and seen a jedi with roughly 14 troops, circled around the jedi.
Darth Rachk
Iyezo and Fien ignited their blades, deflecting blaster bolts as the troops opened fire on the two sith Zabrak. Iyezo flipped to the side, evading a barrage of bolts. "Iyezo, we're making this harder than it has to be... Let's use Force scream," Fien said. Iyezo gave a quick nod towards his cousin. They deflected a few more blaster bolts, then unleashed the sonic hell upon the worthless troops. They dropped their blasters as they clutched their ears in agony.
Iyezo and Fien rushed in and slaughtered the human troops as they writhed in pain. The two Zabrak stood as the last troop fell. They approached the jedi, he was a large Bothan male, with a large golden brown mane. He ignited his saber, it was an orange blade, unusual for the lightside users of the force.
The jedi came in with a quick stab towards Iyezo, the attack was blocked, but only barely. Iyezo was caught off guard by the aggression of the jedi, he was always used to being the aggressor. Fien tried to intervene but was pushed aside by the force. Iyezo seeing an opening, went in for an attack, but was pushed aside as well.
Darth Thrax
Darth Thrax, while using the Art of the Small, easily crept up behind the bothan jedi without it sensing him. In one quick movement, the jedi was no more than two pieces of meat lying on the floor in a heap. The smell of singed flesh lingered in the air which caused the zabraks' nostrils to flare. He glared at Iyezo and Fien, his kinship, with blood red eyes filled with anger. "Let's get this over with. I'll deal with your incompetence later." He turned without waiting for them to respond and ran off down a large hallway. To his suprise, there was no one around. No soldiers, no jedi, nothing.
Then he felt something. Something that he had not felt in a very long time yet it was also very familiar. He slowed to a stop and closed his eyes, holding his hand up to stop the following zabrak as well. He tried to focus on the presence, a bead of sweat broke on his forehead, as he began concentrating with every ounce of Force he had in him. Then it clicked. His eyes shot wide open, rage building up inside of his entire body. "Iyezo, he is here. You can feel it too... Can't you..." The man that he was talking about was Ike Dulvin, his parents' killer, and a confused look came upon his face. Why the jedi allowed him back in their ravaged Order, he did not know. But he would soon find out.
The trio set off once again and the presence soon became very strong. As they rounded the next corner, they came upon a large durasteel blast door. The sith could feel Force power emanating from behind the door as they approached it with caution. Out of nowhere, the door opened up and they were immediately faced with a human male of large stature. Ike Dulvin. Without hesitation, Darth Thrax lunged forward aggresively, his brilliant emerald blades aimed directly for the jedi's chest.
Ike Dulvin, a rogue jedi no longer, ignited his cyan blade and batted away the Gatesmaster's blades with relative ease and took a step back, his face had a wide smirk across it. "Greetings, Eaoth. Still full of hatred, I see." He chuckled lightly as he stared into Thrax's vengeful eyes that burned with intense hate and rage. "And I see you've brought guests." The human spoke as he glanced over Thrax's shoulder, his smirk never waning.
Darth Rachk
Iyezo's rage was growing, he let out a blood curdling cry as he lunged forward, and ignited both blades. In a lightning fast flurry of attacks, he spun his blades around for a few attacks then without losing any momentum separated his blades for several more attacks, and then re-attached them for another onslaught of attacks.
He hated the man before him with all his being. He let his hatred guide him, and that was probably one of the few reasons that he wasn't struck down. Iyezo spun around for another flurry of attacks but was kicked in the back by the jedi. Aided by the force the kick sent Iyezo flying backward a few meters. He landed on his knees then rolled over a few times before he came to a stop.
As Iyezo began to stand he glanced up and saw his masters emerald blades inches away from his face. Perpendicular to his blades was the cyan blade of Ike Dulvin. His brother had saved his life.
"I am not going to let you take any more of my family, if I want him dead I will do it myself."
Fien'Dur
Fien let Iyezo and Thrax take care of Ike, seeing as how it was their dilemma, and he focused his attention on the 4 troops that came in with Ike, armed to the teeth with vibro swords. Fien ignited his black blades and dashed towards the troops that looked as if they were going to intervene into the battle. Fien slashed ones head off with ease, because the troop was turned the other way. The other troops were a little smarter and turned to face the oncoming sith Zabrak. Fien wasn't used to fighting multiple opponents, but they didn't have the training that Fien had. With a few blocks and parries the troops soon realized that they didn't have a chance at winning this. Fien made an uppercut from one troops legs and up through his head, and Fien now only had two enemies to dispose of. Fien charged at one making him drop his vibro sword, and thus, leaving him defenseless for the time being. Fien hacked away at his legs and sent a jab through his eye and laughing evilly as he sliced up and out. Fien turned and looked at the last remaining troop as he stood there petrified with his jaw hanging down. Fien dropped him with a force lightning attack, casted at his face.
Darth Thrax
Darth Thrax deactivated one of his blades, causing Master Dulvin to lurch forward slightly. At that moment, the zabrak warrior lifted his deactivated blade up and ignited it swiftly as he brought it up towards Dulvin's neck. The Jedi leaned his entire body back, just missing the blade that flew overhead, and then swept Thrax's feet out from under him.
The large zabrak caught himself with the Force just before he hit the floor and brought his blades up to deflect the slash that would've killed him, something Lord Marix had showed him. He swiftly blasted Dulvin into the air with a powerul Force push and rolled to his feet, deactivating his blades as he did so.
He stood in a defensive position with only one blade activated this time and watched as the Jedi landed gracefully on his feet once more. "You have learned much, Eaoth. Or should I call you Sith? I'm not sure which, seeing as how you are still a child in my eyes."
"I have learned enough to kill you, human." Darth Thrax sneered. "My time with the Sith has taught me much more about the Force than the Jedi would've ever even told me about. Thanks to you killing my parents, I have become one of the greatest Sith masters in the Empire."
Darth Rachk
Iyezo struggled to restrain himself, he had been training for this moment. The blood in his vain's ran as hot as the lava of Mustafar. The man that stood before him was but another symbol of the stupidity of the jedi. He had set his childhood home ablaze killing his parents. He should have been executed, and made an example of. His fists were shaking, as he held back his rage.
Darth Thrax
"Your arrogance will lead to your downfall, sith."
"It seems to have worked well so far, jedi."
"Tell me, Eaoth. What was it like? Seeing the smoldering corpses of your parents." The jedi's voice seemed strained.
Darth Thrax's eyes turned blood red, ablaze. "I cannot describe it to you, Dulvin, but... I can let you experience it for yourself."
With that, the large zabrak shot streaks of blue-purple bolts of energy from his fingertips. Iyezo, Fien, now! Thrax growled through the Force, his voice deep and intimidating.
Darth Rachk
Iyezo's eyes were as black as night on the forest floor of Kashyyyk, reflections of the Jedi master Ike Dulvin with the blue violet arks of lightning crawling across his body like spiders were easily visible. Ike was arched backward in pain, crying out in agony. Iyezo then pushed out hard with both hands, unleashing a powerful force wave.
The blast sent Ike soring across the room,he took out several troops that were just entering the room, crashing in to them as he flew. He crashed hard in to the durasteel wall at the far end, leaving a noticeable dent. The troops that he hit as he flew lay scattered across the room depending on where he hit them. He slid down the wall and hit the ground with a thud. Yet after all the abuse he still managed to get up.
"You must be little Iyezo, how you've grown," Ike taunted with a slight chuckle. He was hunched over, and his shoulders slouched. He moved up and down with each of his heavy breaths.
"I am no longer the pitiful child you knew on Iridonia. I am your death." Iyezo rushed in using the force to increase his speed. Ike called his lightsaber to him with the force and ignited its cyan blade, blocking Iyezo's initial attack, Iyezo then countered with a series of attacks from ataru.
Fien'Dur
Fien was standing back, letting Thrax and Iyezo take care of their problem, but the arrogance of the humans smug face was more than enough to enrage Fien. He dashed forward while flourishing his red blades in a complex system of directions and unleashed a flurry of attacks at the human annoyance. Ike parried Fien's onslaught and shoved him aside, while blocking Thrax's attacks. Fien fell to ground and was even more angry, and launched his blade at Ike, giving either Thrax or Iyezo to make a move at the delay Ike had to make to avoid the blade in some way.
Darth Thrax
Darth Thrax and Iyezo leapt at the exact same moment, with the exact same speed... and thrusted their lightsabers through Ike Dulvin at the exact same time. Ike Dulvin, the man that had killed their parents and ultimately caused them to follow the Dark Side, was now on the brink of death. How ironic.
All sound seemed to drown out. All color seemed faint and distorted. Then suddenly... "Eaoth, Iyezo... we have failed you. The Jedi... have failed you." Dulvin's voice was raspy and dry.
Darth Thrax bared his teeth. "Failed us? Of course they have, human. You realized that a little too late."
The human shook his head slightly. "You don't understand... Your parents... were Sith. I was just trying to protect you... Thats what the Jedi never told you... Instead... they told you that I went rogue... because I turned to the dark side..." His voice broke and tears welled up in his eyes.
The large zabrak shot Iyezo a glance and he nodded. The brothers deactivated their lightsabers and stepped away from Dulvin. "Dulvin, you lead us to the Dark Side... And we thank you for that." A dark smile crept upon Iyezo's lips as he spoke and Ike closed his eyes.
"Then I guess there is no persuading you..." His eyes shot open. "But let me tell you this... Your empire will fall... From the inside out... A grin appeared on his face as his breathing shortened. Then... his breathing stopped. All three zabrak looked upon the dead body of a man that they had all grown to hate. He destroyed their lives. And they hated him for it. Yet there truly was no way of going back. The Dark Side had consumed them.
