FWG: No Mercy

[Eisa Swan]

The Alliance freighters had barely touched upon the surface Antar 4, and the impromptu relief centre had became a swirling hive of activity, darting about carrying out their programmed duties, hover loaders moving about impatiently as their operators tried to unload the cargo off of the ship as quickly as possible. The recent tsunami had thrown the local populace into complete disarray, many were finding themselves displaced and without any homes to return to. Tensions where high and of course the air was rife with desperation.

Amidst the throng of the various crew and operatives of the Galactic Alliance, a young ashen haired female paced her way down the boarding ramp of one of the freighters that had landed. Stopping in her advance, the slight framed figure edged herself to the side to allow a hover loader to pass by before deciding to jump down over the edge and onto the ground below, figuring it was perhaps better to just get out of the way as much as possible.

Making her way clear from the freighters, Eisa paced over towards a small gathering of the security force that had been detailed by the Alliance General. A bemused grin crossing her features as the Security detail clocked her approach and snapped to attention, and saluted the Female. "Master Swan, what are your instructions" the security Sargent enquired as his hand fell down to his side. Nodding respectfully in response to the detail's greeting. "Secure the perimeter, and patrol the surroundings. We've had reports of slavers looking to take advantage of the displaced refugees, it is likely that raiders would target the relief supplies" Eisa advised as she gestured to the make shift perimeter of the relief compound.

"myself and the others that have been assigned to support, will remain to secure the compound. But if there is any contact with pirates, notify me as soon as you can and we will come and aid you" The Jedi master continued, as she returned her attention back to the security detail. A warm smile crossed the Jedi's features as the instructions were acknowledged, and the group prepared themselves to move out. Leaving the security team to prepare themselves, the ashen haired female stepped away to leave them to their duties, her emerald hued eyes scanning over the mass of people moving about, looking for those who had been assigned to support and secure the compound to arrive and meet her.

[H4 1V4N Ivan]

Once crowd control was just like any other mission for 1V4N, it was a simple set of commands to maintain order and security even if it meant the death of anyone who tried to resist his efforts. After his awakening though those mission became a source of conflict now realizing that he had been used as a tool of oppression. The irony being that since he was meant to serve his masters, perform all commands without question, without hesitation, to the brutal efficiency that a lack of morals combined with warm circuits could achieve. He was a slave used to oppressed others who were enslaved to the same people.

In a way this mission was oddly conflicting looking about the mass of refugees that swarmed the relief area. Ivan had to resist his subroutines from defaulting to his previous methodology. No shooting the crowd if they got rowdy, no making of examples out of the crowds, and no killing. Every life here was as equal as any other and had the right to be cherished and preserved. He wasn't a tool of oppression anymore, he was an individual that wanted to see these people rise from the ashes of disaster and maybe go on to achieve something greater than any of them.

Now though wasn't the time for rhetoric it was the time to keep calm and carry on for these people. "Comrades, we are here to help you, but you need to help us in order for us to aid you. Remember families and children go the tents by those ships. Lone individuals go to this ship. We have several medical tents setup around the center. If you are wounded in any way someone will help. We have plenty of Doctors and medics on duty. Ivan made a series of gestures pointing to each of the different areas to direct people trying to create some semblance of communal organisation in the crowd. While part of him wanted to focus on this task he also knew that his more lethal skillsets might be needed to discourage any looters. Sad to see the scavenging prey on each other, maybe the alliance might put an end to that. "I know you may be hungry, thirsty or scared but food and water will be distributed to as many people we can. Remember don't resort to division and greed, in this time of crisis let us come together in solidarity. Together we will endure." Ivan said as a final note for the crowd, a cheerful one that brought a sense of joy to his computing, he believed in those ideas. It was those ideas that liberated him and well if they can do that for him, maybe they may hold for others as well.

1V4N left the crowd searching amongst the group of military and support personal looking for the personal that would guarantee the security of the supplies and the compound. In the mass Ivan would find the eye of the storm of people, and in that eye was an ashen haired woman That Ivan would recognize, both as he was briefed to rendezvous with her and by the reputation she carried one that while might have grown beyond the woman, was something that commended great respect. The droid marched up to the Jedi eager to fulfill his duties with her. "Eisa Swan it's a pleasure to meet you comrade. I'm H4-1V4N but you can call me Ivan if you wish." 1V4N performed a salute to the considerably shorter woman, a silly sight it may be to some onlookers but such matters didn't concern 1V4N.

"From my understanding, we are to make sure these supplies get to the hands of those in need. The reports of slavers and pirates is deeply concerning and my processors have done calculations that suggest that if the reports are true then the chances that these vultures may prey on this sight are high. I'll do whatever is needed to keep these people safe."

[Juglobb Vonso]

Juglobb knew the pains of these people, he remembered how he often went to bed hungry. He knew the fear of not being able to find anything and starving to death. The hopelessness of it all. Often on those nights he silently wished for someone to come down and ease his troubles. Someone to make sure he didn't go hungry, that he didn't have to fear that he might just starve.

Juglobb could be that somebody for the people of Antar 4. He scanned the crowd for those who needed his help; he saw a girl, lost and confused about where to go. Juglobb then weaved his way through the large crowd and made his way over to the girl, who kept looking around the crowd. Juglobb kneeled down next to her, "Where are your parents little one?" The little girl pointed through the crowd to a badly injured man being helped by medics. Juglobb shook his head slowly, before looking around the crowd for a member of support personnel.

Juglobb would pull the personnel aside, "This child's father is badly injured, would you please take her to the tents so she can be helped?" Juglobb then gestured down to the child, looking up at him and the other support. The support personnel would nod, leading the child away by the hand. He looked back towards the girl being led away, hurt that he couldn't have done it himself. But he knew there was no time and he had a mission to do.

Juglobb than looked around the crowd, scanning it for the ashen hair of Master Swan. Eventually, through the masses of people, he'd spot the ashen haired woman and would move through the crowd towards her. He had been instructed to meet with her who would have further information about Juglobb's assignment. While moving up towards Master Swan, he'd notice a droid march up and goofily salute the Jedi Master. Juglobb thought he was the member of the team, that he was briefed on. He didn't expect to be working with a droid.

Juglobb then stood before Master Swan, before bowing before her. "Master Swan, it's an honor to be working with you."

 

[Eisa Swan]

Turning her attention away from directing a small group of refugees towards the medical tent, the Ashen haired Knights gaze fell upon a towering droid that was approaching her, a curious eye scanned over the droid that appeared to be a military model that she wasn't familiar with. But then again it was with the astromech and service droids that the Jedi Master was familiar with, having spent years maintaining and servicing the droids that worked abosrd her father's ship, such as D1T0.... Though as she had been thinking on it, Eisa just had to wonder where in the blazes her droid had hovered off to now.

Raking her head upwards to make eye to visual receptor contact with the droid, a light grin crossing her features as she regarded the salute being held towards her. Nodding in acknowledgement, Eisa took a few steps back so she wasn't craning her neck too far upwards, as she did so her eyes caught sight of another approaching the pair, this one going by the attire and the presence rippling in the Force, must of been a padawan. One that in all truth wasn't one she was familiar with encountering at the Jedi Temple on Jedha, but then again the Order had quite a large and growing base of padawans joining, far different from the days when she was just one of a handful that were being trained in secret.

Nodding to the new arrival the Jedi Master split her attention between the two who joined the efforts to safeguard the supplies and the refugees. "Thank you both for your swift response" Eisa spoke out, as a light smile crossed her features, her gaze panning between the droid and the Padawan. "It is unfortunate, that we have had to meet in such circumstances. You both are aware that we are currently responding to the relief effort for the citizens of this world, so far our efforts of attending to the survivors have been hampered, Slavers have descended down on the planet to take advantage of the vulnerable, and as Ivan has already pointed out, our intel has confirmed that raiders are mobilising to attack this compound. Either to enslave those being treated here or to steel the medical and aid supplies the Alliance has brought as part of their response." The Master continued, giving a briefing, more for the Padawan's benefit, the droid had already calculated that there was such a risk of pirates or raiders looking to attack the compound. But then again there was no harm in the female Jedi's mind in making sure everyone was singing off the same hymmsheet, as it were.

"Our duty is to protect those who are in our care, as well as securing the supplies that allow us to give that care" Eisa continued after a brief moment's pause. "I have already sent out a security detail to patrol the perimeter of the compound.... Which reminds me" she added before trailing off for a moment, before patting down the pockets on her belt to locate her comm link. "Patrol Teams, Please confirm your statuses" Eisa eventually spoke after she had retrieved her comms device. Her eyes narrowing as she listened intently to the incoming reports from the security details that were out patrolling the area, a light smile crossing her features as they confirmed that for the moment there was no hostile activity.

Sighing slightly in relief, at the revelation that they had a bit longer to prepare themselves. The Jedi Master kept a hold of the comm link for the time being as she returned her attention back towards the two rebels. "Fortunately we have a bit more time to prepare ourselves. So would suggest you take advantage of this time to make sure you have everything you need and you are in suitable vantage point" The Master advised, as she subconsciously started to actively channel the Force through her, the presence and her aura flooding with the tempered strength of her connection to the Force. She knew all too well just how intense the fire fights can get when pirates or raiders have decided to target the compound, or convoy that she had been assigned to protect in the past. Particularly on Sullust, the Jedi Master had found that she had to rely on the Force to be able to repel the endless ambushes that raiders had launched on the medical convoy she was tasked with protecting.

 

[H4 1V4N Ivan]

"Roger comrade. I shall survey the area for a good firing position." 1V4N nodded and walked off to survey the site. The fact that there was an perimeter force to act as scouts was good it would prime them for any altercation. Searching amongst the site was a bit of a lament for 1V4N as he made note of the large amount of Civilians present. He wanted to find a spot that could give a good overarching view of the entire area but there simply wasn't one available to 1V4N not unless he wanted to calculate the chances for civilians to get caught in the cross fire, a risk the droid didn't want to calculate. So it was now up to him to find the best compromise.

The droid scanned around the environment looking for something to use anything he then looked at his various assortment of tools he had on his person. He spotted a rather tall tree nearby it was at the outskirts of the camp on the southern edge but it could be of use. Ivan then noticed a spare piece of rope lying around near a couple of rebel troopers. "Apologies comrade, but I must use your rope." before anyone could say a thing Ivan walked off with his new bundle of rope.

He hoisted himself up the tree, branches cracking and aching from the droids weight barely holding the hulking figure. Soon 1V4N was 10m high looking over the southern section of the compound. He tied the rope around the center and shoved one of his arms into it to brace himself. It wasn't the best cover anyone who realized the droid was up there could easily fire upon him and it did severely limit his vision of the northern section, and it would take time to get himself down again should he need to.

"Ok I got photoreceptors scanning around the southern half of the area if anyone is coming from this direction I should be able cover you and well be a pretty target too. I won't be able to look over the northern half of the space though and it will take time for me to reposition." The Droid called out over commlink informing the two Jedi of the situation.

[Juglobb Vonso]

"Understood Master." Juglobb, then quickly bowed to Master Swan again before turning away from the two, and off to the Northern edge of the camp. He looked for a vantage point that let him see clearly around the outskirts of the camp, and too put as much room between himself and the civilians. So that if the raiders suddenly descended upon them, Juglobb would have time to respond.

Juglobb surveyed the area for any places that'd give him a clear line of sight. Eventually, Juglobb came across a steep hill along the edge of the encampment. Juglobb decided this was probably his best vantage point that he could find, so Juglobb set out preparing to walk up the hill.

Juglobb reached the top of the hill after a short climb along its steep face, where he looked out over the Northern Side of the camp. He had decent cover in case he was fired upon, and he could quickly descend the hill if he needed to move from his current position. Despite the position being well-defensible for Juglobb, he didn't have a ranged weapon so he was unable to fire upon any raiders that may come through the north.

"I have a visual over the North Side of the camp, so I'll call out if I see anything on my side. I won't be able to hit targets from up here, but I should be able to reposition quickly enough to deal with any hostiles coming this way." Juglobb responded after the droid spoke over the commlink, informing the other two about his situation.

Juglobb took the few moments he had and began to channel the force through himself preparing his strength for the inevitable conflict ahead.

[Eisa Swan]

Watching as her fellow rebels moved out to find a defensible position, the Ashen haired master pursed her lips in thought as she took in the relief camp, 1V4N the droid had ventured to the south side of the camp, and appeared to have hoisted his metallic form up into a tree. Raising a curious eyebrow Eisa wondered, whether the tree would be able to take the droid's weight, well perhaps if he stayed close to the main trunk of the tree and not move to the outer reaches of the various branches it would be fine. Looking down to her comms device, the Jedi master listened as the droid communicated that he was in position.

Before she opted to respond to the droid, Eisa turned her attention towards the northern half of the camp where the Padawan had ventured towards. his form being silhouetted against the skyline as he rose to his full height above the hill that was overlooking the camp. Similarly to 1V4N, Juglobb called out over the radio to confirm that he was in position and had eyes on the northern half of the camp. "Acknowledged Ivan, Juglobb" the Jedi spoke out over the comm channel, as she turned her attention towards the nearby freighter. "Will take position here" Eisa added, before a light crack of Force energy rippled out from the soles of her feet, springing effortlessly unto the top of the Freighter's hull. Walking towards the centre of the ships dorsal hull, the Jedi master cast a narrowed gaze around the camp from her new vantage point, mentally committing the layout of the camp to memory.

"Patrol teams report in" Eisa spoke out over the comm channel, once she had finished surveying the camp. A curious eye brow crossed the Jedi's features as the patrols reported in that there was no visual on any hostiles, whilst she was glad to hear that the threat of the camp being subject to attack appeared to be low, she knew from experience not to rest on their laurels and take the peace for granted. "Copy that, Everyone don't let your guard down, this could go blue milk run in a heart beat" Eisa spoke out over the comm channel before clipping the device back onto her belt.

Reaching down to her sides, the ashen haired figure retrieved her lightsabers before kneeling down on the hull of the ship she had perched herself upon. Placing the weapons upon her lap, before momentarily reaching for her blaster and checking that it was fully charged and stowing it back in it's holster. Taking a deep breath, Eisa closed her eyes and opened her mind into the Force. Channelling the energies through her fully, as she reached out into her surroundings, searching and feeling for the movements of life both within the perimeter of the relief camp and the surrounding areas, before clearing her mind of all thought and focused purely upon the Force.

If there was going to be an attack on the camp, the Jedi Master would be ready to repel them with the full weight of her abilities.

 

[H4 1V4N Ivan]

Ivan's photoreceptors processed the swaying nature and the movement of the crowds scanning for anything out of the ordinary. The droid even ran through his entire sensor suite seeing if sonar and motion could pick anything that his photoreceptors couldn't to no avail. It was on one hand comforting to know that these people weren't in immediate danger, but on the other hand comfort was a knife in the hands of the people's enemies one that could strike at anytime.

"Patrol teams this Ivan of the support team, report in." The droid awaited for any reports, only to then here Reports of no activity present from the patrol teams.
"Roger comrades, don't get too comfortable down there we still have a job to do." 1V4N looked around, comrade Swan and comrade Juglobb were also in positions, with Juglobb taking high ground over the hill and Swan ontop of one of the freighters capable of quickly moving about to any section that needed help.

Ivan in this silence decided to try to use some of his processing to contemplate something that now pondered into his heuristic processor. Could he get bored? That was a odd question to him, sure his processors could be found in a situation where they have very little task to carry out, which is similar t the organic sentient state of being bored, but he didn't get tired. He wasn't 'weary' sure in this state it would be natural to downclock his processors to save on power but it only took a few moments to immediately run back up to peak processing if a task demanded such a thing.

Is boredom an emotion or a chemical thing, as 1V4N self delegated his task to himself there was periods of idle time but he had to wonder. Boredom was odd, as many living things have it as a desire of being capable of so much more than what they are presently doing, then is boredom the nature of knowing you're meant for grander things? Did life have a sense for one starting to fall into the decaying grasp of entropy and is boredom when a creature becomes aware of those tentacles swirling about consuming them? If so is it a evolved defense mechanism one that he didn't possess because that wasn't envisioned as a problem. Computers are meant to serve their masters in the eyes of their creators after all, a slaver would want his slave to toil in nothing and do nothing being content with their standing in life and then be worked to the bone without problem. Maybe boredom is a privilege of freedom in a way, a sign that one could choose to do something more interesting to them that better serves the purpose they defines for themselves.

What would he do if confined in a situation where the droid would have nothing to do? If he was in empty space locked to a metal box, a near infinite source of power that could keep him charged, and nothing of note except for bare metal walls. What would his processors do? Would he start thinking, creating out some desperate need to use his processors or would he be content to sit and stare for millions of hours content with going over the same data again, and again, and again.

Ivan snapped out of his state as he realized that he had allocated a large amount of processing power to such questions and realized that he still had a job to do with protecting these people. Ivan though found this aloofness pleasing as in a way it had answered a question. He could get bored, just like any living thing.

[Juglobb Vonso]

Juglobb sat on the top of the hill, looking over the surrounding terrain. He looked carefully, making sure he didn't miss anything that could lead to disaster. Juglobb grew suspicious, he hadn't seen any sign of hostiles and a report came over his commlink that the south was clear. Juglobb felt the raiders were planning something, that they would come out and suddenly strike overwhelming the modest defense.

Juglobb then closed his eyes and reached out with the force, channeling it through himself. He felt through the force, sensing the area around him. Juglobb felt through the force, hoping to find just a glimpse of the unknown threat. Juglobb found nothing through the force, however, Juglobb did feel another presence in the background. He felt this presence in the force, what Juglobb was the wave of raw emotion that overwhelmed him. He felt the fear, the anger, the desperation and the hopelessness of the civilians in the camp. Juglobb felt their powerful emotions, he felt their emotions begin to swirl around him.

Juglobb's eyes flashed open, and he took several long breaths. Slowly he then turned and looked towards the civilians, before snapping back to look at the terrain around him. He couldn't let his thoughts distract him from the thoughts of the civilians. He didn't have time to contemplate them at the moment, a single missed moment could result in him missing a group which would lead to making the civilians even more miserable. Juglobb also considered the possibility of the strong emotions of the civilians dulling his senses and making him unable to see them as of yet unknown threat.

Fearing that he may have missed something because of his distraction, Juglobb called to the patrol team. For once Juglobb wished the patrol had seen some hostiles. It would remove the potential for the pirates to surprise Juglobb's squad. "Patrol teams, please report in any signs of contact?" Juglobb waited for their report, perhaps he had only missed the pirates. The report team responded, reporting in no signs of activity. "Alright thank you, make sure to keep alert." Their patrol also hadn't seen them, the pirates HAD to be up to something.

"It's just all too quiet," Juglobb said to himself.

[Eisa Swan]

Silently the Jedi master continued to sit and commune with the Force, her ears pricking up at the various reports coming in clear. The raiders were either biding their time, waiting for the Rebels and the relief teams to become complacent, or they were organising themselves for a calculated attack. Taking a deep breath, Eisa shut out the distractiins and focused purely on the currents of the Force, her mind stretching out far beyond the camp, reaching out almost as if on an astral level to gauge her wider surroundings, she could feel the widescale worry and panic that fell upon the local region, the loss of so many lives, it was troubling and also heart wrenching for the Jedi Master to feel.

Suddenly her eyes snapped open, she could feel a darkness rapidly approaching in from the west. This darkness was unlike that of Sith or Abominations, but it was the Forces Reaction, she could sense the darkening of the Force around the approaching seven lifesigns, giving clear indication on their intent to kill. Snatching up her lightsabers as she sprang up onto her feet, the Ashen haired Master pressed on her commlink. "Rapid Incoming to the West, all eyes on the horizon, patrol teams converge to the North and south western flanks. Catch them off before they try to encircle the camp" Eisa instructed, before breaking out into a rapid sprint, leaping from hull to Hull of the landed ships, before springing skyward over the Camp, the use of her Force abilities allowing her to rapidly cover the ground across the camp with unnatural speed.

Bounding over the perimeter fence, Eisa sprinted out into the wide open planes, her eyes narrowing as she focused on the distant silhouettes that were closing in on the camp. Satisfied that she had put enough distance between herself and the Camp, the Jedi master came to a standstill, watching as the distant forms grew closer. As they did the distinct sound of spreader bikes grew louder, narrowing her gaze Eisa focused on the incoming raiders, her mind processing the immanent threat that was closing in, rapid assault, potential hit and run tactics, she mused to her self putting her decade of experience in the front lines of the rebellion to use.

As the speeder bikes drew ever closer, Eisa's grip on her lightsabers tightened, preparing herself to repel the inevitable blaster fire that would rain down upon her. But first they would have to content with the Jedi disrupting their attack. Channelling and focusing thr force Energies within her, the Jedi master closer her eyes before reaching her hand outwards towards the on coming riders, a sudden intense and blinding light ripped out from within the Jedi Master, the stength of Eisa's force flash was like staring directly into a sun.

Overwhelmed by the blinding light, the raiders struggled to steer their speeder bikes straight, whilst attempting to shield their eyes from the glare. Some of the riders loosing control of their speeders whilst the others broke their formation and streaked over towards the northern and southern perimeter of thr camp. The two that had crashed ahead of the Jedi master stumbled around as they tried to get back into thier feet and ready thier weapons. Eisas two lightsaber suddenly errupted into life, before she rushed towards the raiders. Priming her blades to strike at the aggressors, or repel their blaster bolts directly back at them.

 

[H4 1V4N Ivan]

Ivan was overhearing the radio chatter as he studied the pattern of the fauna all around him and the wild life, such a foreign thing those lifeforms were, getting energy from the sun the bark their 'skin' such fascinating stuff, could it think? that was an intriguing question but what was also being processed was the data from his audio processors as he tried to examine the noise floors, changing which frequencies he was sensitive to in order to see if he could pick anything up for a while his efforts were fruitless but there was one thing that he could note. The noise floor had been dropping ever so steadily it was only a decibels, 5 at most but it was something unusual of note. It suggested that the area was becoming more abandoned, wildlife abandoning an area wasn't a good sign as it suggested something disturbing them.

It was then that his ashen-haired comrade broke the silence over the comms reporting an enemy presence to the west.

"Roger, will identify and engage any hostile contacts to the west." Servos whirred and branch creaked and cried in agony as the droid pivoted his body to face the west, repeater now ready to lay down any suppressing fire needed. The calm serene steppe like plains now being disturbed by a ghastly gang of speeder bikes. It didn't take much analysis for Ivan to understand what these people would be intending the do. For some basic analysis on equipment told him that this was a combat element of some sort.

Ivan saw Eisa boldly stared down the jaws of death with a will stronger than any durasteel that existed. It was then that a glorious sight met Ivan's photoreceptors as Eisa raised her arm up and produced a bright flash that briefly caused 1V4N's brightness settings to go haywire trying to account for the new source of light. Once they adjust Ivan registered that two speeder bikes were now heading to his area. Waited getting the best firing solution he could for when they would enter the range of his repeater.

As soon as the speeder were within 100m Ivan unleashed a hail of blaster fire on the two causing them to swerve wildly to avoid it. While their evasion made it difficult to score a clean direct hit their was enough volume of fire for one of the bolts to strike on of the speeder bikes causing to catch flame with the pilot frantically bailing out, his body being flung about like a ragdoll. The other speeder now stopped as the rider took out a blaster rifle of his own and began to retaliate back as bolts began to strike near Ivan's position thankfully being so high up and the natural swaying made him a difficult target to hit.

"Ha! Is that the best you can do?" The droid called out in a taunt that was soon undercut by the sound of snapping, creaking wood. The Pirate while failing to hit Ivan had struck at the main trunk enough to weaken it and now it was giving under the immense weight of the droid.

Kriff

The crown of the tree snapped and the Droid was soon sent tumbling down body being flung and rotated by every branch strong enough to not snap as Ivan hit it on the way down. The combat droid now impacting the soft ground as he was registering some internal damage to hydraulics, but thankfully was still in combat shape. The droid got himself up and began to head towards the last location of the two pirates. Ivan was prepared to teach them a valuable lesson. That a soldier of the revolution doesn't give up until he's either dead or succeeds.

[Juglobb Vonso]

Juglobb was listening to the communications, continuing to observe from his position for any signs of hostiles. Juglobb continued not to see any sign of the raiders anywhere, he pondered moving to another position, to see if any of them had missed the raiders.

While he was thinking about moving Juglobb got a messaged that snapped him back to attention. Hostiles had been detected to the west. Juglobb turned towards the west, where on the horizon he saw several speeders moving towards the encampment. "Copy that, moving to engage the hostiles." He then saw Master Swan, run out towards the oncoming speeders. Juglobb than saw a burst of light surround her causing the speeders to dive wildly and crash.

Juglobb then quickly used a force leap, using it to jump down to the base of the hill. Juglobb then began running across the open field, towards the west to meet the hostile forces. As Juglobb ran across the field, he had heard the sound of a speeder racing towards him. Juglobb turned and saw two speeders heading towards him. Juglobb then grabbed his lightsaber and turned it on. The green blade hummed to life in his hands. Juglobb watched the path of the speeders seeing where they were heading.

Once Juglobb had found the path of the speeders, he then threw his lightsaber propelling it towards the speeder with the force. The lightsaber struck the back end of the speeder, causing it to smoke and for sparks to fly out from the speeder. Juglobb then recalled the saber to his hand and continued running towards the west.

The speeder that had been struck lost control, swerving into the speeder next to it, causing both to crash. Juglobb continued running across the field when he felt a sudden burning in his back. Juglobb dropped to the ground, where he saw a second blaster bolt fly over him. Juglobb looked back to where the speeders he had engaged crashed, where he saw two raiders hiding behind their speeders pointing their rifles towards Juglobb.

Juglobbed rolled, away from the two raiders aiming at him. He then got up and moved his saber into a defensive stance, preparing to block bolts from the raiders as he moved up to engage the two.

[Eisa Swan]

The sound of wind rushing through her ears accompanied the sound of rapid foot fall and the swirling hum of her lightsabers as they moved to intercept and swat away the incoming blaster rounds, that were being fired upon the Jedi Master. Her emerald hued eyes narrowing as she focused her attention and the Force into her movements, weaving from side to side with a natural feline grace and agility making it difficult for the raiders to make an aligned targeted shot on her, all they could do was fire and hope for the best. But the Jedi master was undeterred by the attempts to slow her down, she had spent years in the proverbial front lines and had grown numb to the panic and fear that would wash over those under fire - Then again there wouldn't be much surprise if after all this time she would be restless if she wasn't under constant fire.

Having closed the distance between the two raiders, the ashen haired master vaulted over the two downed speeder bikes that the raiders had taken cover behind. As soon as her feet made contact with the ground beneath her, Eisa spun round on her heel. Saber blades swinging down in a diagonal arc towards the raiders, the burning blades of light cleaving cleanly through the nearest raider first, before connecting with the second in a shallower strike, cutting through into the man's shoulder. Sending him barrelling back onto the ground in pain, but not before he was unable to unload a blaster round towards the Master's fore arm and falling unconscious from the shock.

Gritting her teeth, as the Jedi looked down towards her arm, her eyes narrowing as she regarded the scorch mark along the edge of her forearm bracers. She had managed to take out two raiders, but she stray shot that had made it through during her attack had damaged her protective armour, the over spill of plasma burning through her outer robes and charing her skin. Another scar to add to the collection that adorned her arms. Cussing under her breath, the ashen haired master channelled a light flow of the Force through her focusing on the healing abilities of the lightside, and focusing it into her wound, only to do enough to subdue the pain and close over the burned flesh - there would be time enough later to attend to her wound properly once the area had been secured.

Turning her attention back to the battle around her, the ashen haired master reached out with the Force to take a measure of how her other co-horts were faring, she could sense that the battle droid had moved down from it's position perched up high within the tree and was now advancing towards the attacking raiders, whilst the padawan seemed to be pinned back by the raiders, the Force concentrating around the young Jedi as he focused on staying on the defensive. Taking a deep breath the ashen haired Master summoned and concentrated the Force within her, before a sudden crack echoed out from around her as she sprang into motion, using the Force to propel her at speed to aid the Padawan, hoping that she would be able to close the distance quick enough to lend support before the Padawan tires out.
