Crystalline Chaos

[Sumas Solus]

Berchest/Calius saj Leeloo​

13:23 local time​

Theme​

Berchest was a wondrous city. Built into a mountain and constructed primarily with crystal, it could only be described as a gem of the galaxy along with Cristophsis' capital. It was breathtaking.

On a normal day one would probably come here for a vacation, tour the city and sleep in a beautiful hotel. Even today, people were doing just that as the sun shone warmly over the city. Sadly, the sun won't be shining so brightly for too long. Several explosions rocked the city as they took out a bunch of major destinations in the city. Car bombs went off at several locations and balls of fire engulfed several hundreds of people in seconds. Even the clean streets were littered now with gum and the parking meters were knocked over!

Sumas was hurling grenades into shops and firing away with his rifle as he and a comrade worked through the streets to raize it to the ground. The smoke filled the sky along with the screams, blocking out the once peaceful and bright sun. Both heaven and hell would see this. A fire big enough to be seen from Korriban. Sumas didn't give a damn about the Mandalorian gods or religion, this was simply to send a message for what they did to him and every other Mandalorian in the galaxy.

His jetpack was set on combat mode and his ammo was full. He scanned the area as he plunged a sledgehammer down on the crystalline city, fully expecting the Sith to try and stop them from doing this atrocity.

Just another day on the job...

[Tanx Solus]

Tanx had never been to Berchest or it's City of Glowing Crystal, it was Beautiful place like nothing he had seen, it was a shame they were about to raze hell here but orders are orders, so he let Sumas take the lead this was more his style of gig, Tanx preferred more nuance in his work than just wanton destruction and terror, he believed themselves better than, so he would watch Sumas' back while he went to work.

Tanx was carrying all his gear on him with his carbine in hand, trailing a couple of meters behind Sumas ready for anything that might throw at them.

 

[Amur]

A pleasant albeit melancholic song was playing in the exquisite teahouse Amur was sitting in. At her table was probably the most impressive examples of a bone china tea set she had ever gazed upon. She sat quietly enjoying her time. Oh maybe this place could be one of her retreats to relax and collect her thoughts. Maybe she should invite Kalanda over at some point. Less chances of running into falling bodies and the Occult here. She had all of gear and was in her robes as normal. Not expecting a battle. Her MSBR was tucked neatly under the table within easy reach but she wasn't expecting to need to retrieve it in a moments notice.

Then suddenly a bunch of explosions started to go off. The people around her started to freak out and panic with so much unnecessary screaming. Sigh weaklings. Though something did happen. She was sipping from her teacup or rather the straw in her teacup in the lavish velour upholstered chair when the vibrations of all the blasts caused the rest of the tea set to start moving off the edge it had been placed on and fell. The wonderful bone china tea set was no more. Shattered into a million pieces.

Theme​

The Sith put her tea down. Got her rifle and looked down at the city at the chaos noticing the distinct movement of a jet pack. Mandalorians. Of course they had to ruin her day. Now they had just resorted to destruction and completely devolved into their savage animistic barbarism. She peered from the window and let anger flow through her. She had yet to fight a Mandalorian mano-a-mano. She channeled the force into a yell, she was itching for a good fight.

"Mandalorian Savages! If you wish for a fight then come over here and face a real challenge."

She got her msbr readied and prepared for battle.

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas and Tanx made their way down the road, sowing chaos with every step. But in the back of his mind Sumas felt something was off. He gave a glance behind them and caught sight of the Sith as she got ready to scream at them. "Contact rear!" he shouted and whirled around to face the screaming banshee in the coffee shop. As he took aim he jumped up, firing two bursts at Amur's peering head with his rifle as he landed on the roof of a building with help from his jetpack. With her rifle unprepared, he was safe to get to the low roof and take cover behind a small wall without any trouble. The shots also made sure to keep her suppressed from getting a target on him as he relocated.

The range between her and the two Mandalorians was probably 40 meters or so. Staying low behind the wall he moved along its length to relocate. "Tanx, draw her attention. Let's flush her out of there." he spoke over their private commlink channel. Tanx had a good position to draw her out. If he could manage that, Sumas could cause the Sith to scram from her cover. Making sure to keep a low profile, he slightly peered over the wall to make sure he and Tanx were still good.

He made sure to keep an eye out for any surprises in case an uninvited guest came in.

[Kalanda Tishire]

"Hm, no...too bright, this one is too....well no that won't do." Kalanda was in the midst of clothes shopping, trying to find a color she could sew into the new robes she was planning on making. Eithni had shown her how the sisters did their clothes, and so Kalanda wanted to imitate the style, after all they were far more comfortable than the Sith attire. She had heard such splendid things about this little world, and yet their clothing selection was terrible. Disappointment wasn't even the word to describe it. Of course, she hadn't come here solely for the clothing of this world, she had a job to do as well; she was still working off her failures from earlier after all. The screaming of the common people might have not phased her initially, but some loud mouth was overheard from outside which certainly caught her attention. 'Curious, what in the devil are they doing out there?' She mused, walking towards a window, just in time to see the backs of two Mandalorians with weapons drawn. They'd have no reason to target her yet, hell they probably didn't even see her.

Still holding some clothes of choice in her hand, Kalanda's face twitched in disgust, seeing that the parasites had found their way here. "Madam, please, get away from the window!" A older cashier warned, grabbing Kalanda by the arm, as she tried to pull her away from the scene unfolding outside. Seeing that she needed to get to work, Kalanda pulled her arm away from the woman, dropping her clothes on the floor. "Do you have a roof access?" Kalanda asked, taking a quick inventory of her gear. "W-Why yes but-" "Where is it? And be quick, time is of the essence." Kalanda insisted, as she came to a halt, waiting for the woman to point her in the right direction. "T-That way, but you can't just-" The woman pointed behind her, towards the employee door. Kalanda made her way, ignoring the woman's pleas to leave it be. She had left it be before, and she was half past done with that. With a tug of her hand, Kalanda pulled her robes off as she proceeded up the stairs, working her way up to the exit just a bit beyond her. With the smallest bit of effort, her lightsaber flew to one hand, an adhesive grenade to the other. Mid was going to be so proud of her when she returned.

[Tanx Solus]

Tanx immediately turned to face their opposition, on hearing Sumas callout. "Confirmed." He replied activating his jump boots, he jumped to his right to the corner of the building (16), while doing this he would fired 3 threes times at the sith peering around the corner while in the air to cover his jump.

from the corner he would crouch down and hold the angle, firing two more shot at the area he saw sith's head to keep suppressing fire while Sumas did whatever he was planing.

[Amur]

The Sith smiled under her helmet as the blaster fire was fired towards her. Amur quickly scrambled crouching to the left of the window she was peering from. Her blood was heating up this was going to be fun. Realizing that her MSBR would be a karking nightmare to use in the cqc fight she was hoping to wage she slung it over her back and instead resorted to her lightsaber. Igniting the familiar red beam that was a deep dark crimson. It seemed to be darker as of late but still her friend in times like this. Facing the Mandalorians she began to walk backwards heading southeast towards the alleyway (between 24 and 26) deflecting any blaster bolts directed towards her. The high ground that Sumas tried to acquire would now start to work against them. Sumas while still having Amur in his field of view would find that any shots taken against her would be difficult to land on account of both the lightsaber and longer travel time for his bolts. As for Tanx his cover would only give a narrow field of view on the Sith that would dissappear quickly. If he wanted to get a good shot on the Sith he would have to relocate.

Amur though suddenly felt something, another force presence. Chances are it was a fellow Sith though even a Jedi would likely feel obligated to stop two rampaging morons killing random innocent people. backing herself against a door that would open outwards out to the alley she stopped waiting for the Mandalorians to make there move.

"Come on you know you want this up close and dirty." She called out to the idiot with horns on his helmet.

@Algarus @KinkyPrawn @christhebarker

 

[Tanx Solus]

Seeing the sith retreating backwards, Tanx fired two shots off at the sith when he saw her, more to keep the pressure on her rather than to hit her. as the sith slipped down the alleyway, Tanx spoke into his commlink "Reposintioning, going through back alleys to her position."

running through the back alleys, Tanx slung his carbine on his back while drawing his basked and one of his pistols, if he was going to move closer he knew there was a chance sith could get into CQC and he would rather be ready for that possibility. As he approached the alley, Tanx slowed his pace, slowly and quietly turning the corner a few meters back from its edge, his pistol aiming down the alleyway, upon seeing The sith he would fire of two bolts aimed at her legs.

@KinkyPrawn @Caught in Strangereal @Algarus

 

[Sumas Solus]

Luckily for Sumas, he was already relocating. He arrived by the end of the roof, still a clear view on the Sith. He fired 2 bolts at her center mass from 30 meters as she ran. He saw her go into the alleyway and took chase. Creating a decoy he dropped a smoke grenade set on impact detonation and jetpack-launched himself over to the next building (19) to continue his pursuit without wasting even a second. The smoke covered him from behind as well as it created a decoy.

On the next building, Tanx gave his idea and Sumas clicked his tongue in response. He was too busy now to talk.

With the range now at 25 meters, Sumas made his move. He switched to flight mode and launched into the air as the Sith taunted him. He hurled an adhesive grenade(set to impact as well) towards her feet then fired twice with his rifle towards her center mass as the rifle was in his left hand. His jetpack kept him in the air and would compensate for any force pushes she gave. He wasn't floating idly and would also be able to swerve in the air to dodge any shots she might deflect. His grenade was thrown just as he fired, making evading the attack difficult from the front. She wanted to call him out, she was going to have to face him now.

The smoke grenade he tossed would have filled by now and would obscure him from any direct attacks their new guest might try. If she wanted to attack him, she was going to have to close in...and the Zabrak wasn't oblivious to his surroundings

@christhebarker @Caught in Strangereal @Algarus

 

[Amur]

The first two shots from flying mandalorian were deflected with ease, her reaction times and form sharper then ever. She was going to enjoy this. The shots from Mando still on the ground would miss due to the Sith moving out of the narrow line of sight she had. Though it did serve as a good reminder that she was being hunted by a pack. Door slammed ajar opening outwards into the street. She heard the rumblings of that accursed jetpack. The heat was still on.

The prey thought it could rely on the air oh sweet sunshine we'll see about that. Amur made note of his movements and kept her sense as wide open as the force could allow. Lightsaber in her right hand and her left free to manipulate the force. It seemed that the she was now the bait in this wonderful trap. She saw Mandalorian fly and throw a grenade as she was about to stand out in the center of the Alley doing so he also fired off a couple shots simultaneously. Maybe this Mandalorian was cocky or just putting on pressure but flying in the air, moving all while throwing a grenade with a long rifle did not make for the most stable shooting platform. Still Amur need to do was quickly duck behind the door for cover as it the durasteel just barely handled the plasma burns.

The grenade could now be addressed. That was another thing the Zabrak failed to think about. The travel time of his grenade and the travel time of his shots were different as it swayed in air traveling it's normal parabolic trajectory. With a quick force push that was more like a jab, she deflected the grenade off it's trajectory sending it crashing through the front window of a nearby building(26).

As she began to move backwards her eyes caught sight of someone round the corner. Moving as fast as she could tried to deflect the first shot as it passed just barely deflecting it enough to graze her leg instead of a direct hit. It would hurt like hell but nothing that could stop her. The second bolt would deflected straight at the Mandalorian's chest. In that moment she would quickly move around the southeast corner of the building to now be on the eastern side of the building, giving her cover from any attacks from the idiot with the jetpack. If the Mandalorian was still within the Sith's sight lines she would use a force push to knock him off his feet and disorient him. This was turning out to be quite the hectic ride.

@Algarus @KinkyPrawn @christhebarker

 

[Kalanda Tishire]

Kalanda opened the door for the roof with her grenade hand, as she stepped out into a scene of....basically no activity. That annoyed her. She reached out with the force, as she could still hear blaster fire down below, and with her force senses aiding her, she was able to see the carnage playing out in the distance. Typical. She could feel a familiar presence as well, and through her senses she was able to confirm that it was Amur. Spectacular. Grinning, Kalanda took crept across the rooftop, staying away from the edge as to not alert the Mandalorian's below. Amur just needed to hang in there a little longer (Moving towards 15). Putting her grenade back on her belt, Kalanda drew her blaster instead, as she began to draw upon for the force.

Using the force not long after, she leapt across the gap of the two buildings, her senses still informing her as to what the Mandalorians were doing. Though if the Zabrak thought he would focus on her, she'd ignite her lightsaber to show him other wise, assuming they even know she was there. Having done that without killing herself, Kalanda would move towards the smoke as readying her blaster, as she ducked behind the cover of the roof's edge (next to the smoke). She was still aware of everything occurring beyond the haze of the smoke grenade, as could see the battle going on down below her. The smoke would give her cover from the Zabrak, and if he some how saw her and decided to fly back towards her, she had something planned for him. Until then, she would ready her pistol to fire at the Zabrak, only the top of her head and blaster would be visable from the front, with the smoke concealing her from the right side.

@KinkyPrawn @Caught in Strangereal @christhebarker

 

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas caught sight of a movement far off to the left of him on another roof. But she was way too far now to be of any threat to him, the range between them being probably more than 40 meters. The other Sith used a door to stop his rounds and sent his grenade flying through the window. That was a waste but he had plenty more where that came from. But now it was time to spring the trap.

He didn't stop moving forward. His jetpack quickly moved him into the alleyway and closed the distance to probably less than 15 meters, and his body turned slightly to allow him easy glances behind him. As the Sith deflected the bolts coming at her he fired. A burst would most likely collide with the center of her back as she blocked the second round of Tanx, making blocking or evading extremely unlikely. The shots wouldn't kill her...but it would send her into a world of pain. One of the bolts would also most likely hit her spine and paralyze her from the legs down if they hit. If she had any ideas or tricks to try and get out of the situation, Sumas was ready to keep firing or do whatever it takes to make sure she was down and out of this fight.

Being in the alleyway also completely cut him off from the new arrival. His quick movement forward was sheltered by the smoke that started to blow towards Kalanda. And as he moved into the alley, any shot she might have had on him would be completely blocked off. By the time she tried to take aim at him, he was already in the alley. But that didn't mean Sumas didn't pay attention to her. He kept her in the back of his mind. They would take care of her later, but for now they just needed to make sure she didn't get the drop on them. Sumas kept the area behind him in the corner of his eye in case she moved in, ready to react if needed.

@Algarus @Caught in Strangereal @christhebarker

 

[Tanx Solus]

Tanx smiled at seeing at least one of his shots found it marks even if it was glancing, though his deflected bolt would wipe it off his face as he continued moving around the corner, the bolt grazed across the surface of his breastplate, heating the plate and causing him to grimace from the sting of the heat.

now a bit angry he would retaliate by firing his bola from his wrist launcher aiming ahead of the sith to correct for her movement.

@KinkyPrawn @Caught in Strangereal @Algarus

 

[Amur]

In this moment of Chaos Amur heard the whirling of the Jet pack behind her. Her force push would be interrupted and a new surge of anger flowed through her at the being a part of this karking Mandalorians battle. She turned slightly twisting in a way that while still forcing her to take the brunt of the double tap saved here spine.

Song​

[color= #8a0303]

It. Pissed. Her. Off.​

[/color]

She felt the pain ripple throughout her and she started to use it as fuel for the force not caring about preserving energy or worsening her injuries. No they were gonna suffer. The Sith had fallen to her knees. She also due to the prior twisting rotated to the right by 30 degrees allowing her to keep the punk in her line of sight. When she saw the bola launcher being propelled towards her she lifted her arms up and let it wrap around her chest and then immediately channeled the force to pull him by the wrist his bola launcher was attached to pulling him towards her with as much strength as she could muster. Hate flowing through her. No logic in sight. As the animal came propelling towards her she would drop onto her back so that Tanx come overtop of her. she would release her force grip when the mando gain enough momentum in midflight to keep going. With the second Mando in her sights she would gauge his movements and be readying the force for any defense she would need to pull in a moments notice. During this she also kept her lightsaber hand angled towards Sumas ready to deflect.

@Algarus @christhebarker @KinkyPrawn

 

[Kalanda Tishire]

Seeing the coward trying to take off, Kalanda stowed her blaster, and made to the ladder hanging off the building she was on, as she slide down it. Unless the Mandalorian was a mind reader, he would have no clue where she was coming from now. She jumped off the ladder half way and make for the first alley she saw, her lightsaber was out and ignited, and she drew out a concussion grenade as she moved (Building 20 and 24). She ran behind a stopped air speeder, making it half way across the street, ready for her attacker to step out; if he somehow knew she was even heading this way. Her force senses were still acute, as the only way that Mando was going to get anything off on her was if he stepped out of that alley and lined up a shot, and she would respond in kind with a parry. She was expecting him to use a jet pack, he seemed to like that alot. Reaching the back end of an empty supply vehicle, Kalanda threw the concussion grenade towards the opposing alley, just as she reached the cover of the building (24), with it's count down fuse primed. The bounce of the grenade would be hardly noticeable in the middle of the fight, as the Zabrak would be hit from behind by the concussive force, and surely disoriented. She needed to get back into this fight, because it was clear they weren't taking her seriously.

@christhebarker @Caught in Strangereal @KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

Immediately as the Sith fell to her knees Sumas swung the rifle around to sit on his back then drew his pistols in rapid succession. He moved closer to her and flew higher above the roofline to put a 10 meter space between him and the ground, his barrels aimed right at her. The range was around 10 meters from her when he fired at her again simultaneously with both pistols. One bolt was aimed at her head while the other was aimed at her center mass. The shots would land as she was trying to evade the bola launcher. Defending, dodging or deflecting wouldn't be easy for the Sith in this situation. If they landed, the damage sustained to either her body or her head would most likely be enough to knock her out cold.

Regardless if she was able to block or not, she was still keeping Sumas in her line of sight. And when the concussion grenade rolled into the alley, things wouldn't get any easier for her. Sumas had his back turned and his height and distance meant that he was out of the grenade's range. So the blast didn't do anything other than annoy his ears. It would do the same to Amur, but the flash would do a lot more to her. It would catch her sight, most likely distracting her as well on top of everything, so defending against the two Mandalorians wouldn't be any easier for her.

Still paying attention to his surroundings, Sumas kept his head on a swivel. That grenade came from the second Sith which meant she was close. And if she wanted to come get her friend, she needed to enter the firing line. With his position, Sumas could see the alley next to him as well as behind him. Hopefully this Sith went down so they could look for that second one.

@Algarus @Caught in Strangereal @christhebarker

OOC: If none of this makes sense, please ask me. I'm falling asleep as I'm typing this post XD

 

[Kalanda Tishire]

Unfortunately for Sumas, that wasn't how concussion grenades worked, as once the blast went off, the Mando would be staggered by the concussive force. Hearing the boom, Kalanda moved towards the opposing alley and rounded the corner, still sensing the trio within the alley, and especially focused on the dazed Mando.

Amur was out of the range, though even if her vision was impaired, that's what the force was for. She continued to move towards him, having known he was skyward from her force senses; as well as ready for any of his tricks if he could still keep his head on straight. Sparking up lighting between her finger tips, Kalanda poked her left hand out from the alley way, hardly giving Sumas any time to react as lighting flew towards him, before she would step out into the alley. She would keep her saber hand ready, blade going from her body, just in case the Mandalorian had any cute tricks to play. The array of lightning would slam into his armor and ripple across his jetpack. To his horror, the jet pack would fail as it's electronics were shorted out; not to mention give him a nasty burn. She wasn't standing under him when Sumas fell, so when the Mando struck the ground in, Kalanda would already be moving towards Sumas, striking before he would have time to recover from the impact and swipe at his legs, aiming to put the man out of the fight. If this had succeeded, Kalanda would aim her blade towards the other Mando, not appreciating what they had done to her friend. Her senses were still on high alert, though she was royally pissed, she wasn't about to let her rage get the better of her now.

@KinkyPrawn @Caught in Strangereal @christhebarker

 

[Amur]

What mister spike horns failed to think about with his ambitious aerial attack was that she was raising her arms and by extension her light saber up in the air and letting the Bola wire wraparound her chest while retaining full motion of her arms. Seeing him jump up in the air and fire it was actually natural for Amur to take her upward motion and use it to quickly angle her saber in a nice line that deflected both shots away. While they didn't get deflected back Sumas they didn't further harm the Sith either.

Able to use the wire as a guide she took her free hand and resumed her prior action. Now force pulling Tanx who showed surprisingly little resistance to her attempt now flying at speed towards her. She got ready to evade when suddenly a blinding bright light flashed in the corner of her eye and the sound of a concussion grenade rang across her ears. While outside of the radius of it rendering her blind or deaf for a brief period of time there was an after image in her right eye. It would break her concentration for just long enough that she got to experience the kinetic energy of an armored Mandalorian moving at a decent speed slamming into her. Thankfully she had also extinguished her light saber which meant that she didn't have to worry about her own blade slicing her in two. She didn't have time to wonder if the Mandalorian she was pulling was under the effects of the Flashbang from getting a direct view of it as she got flung back 3 meters as a result of colliding with said Mandalorian. Having the wind knocked out her she would find herself under the Man, the arm his bola launcher was attached to now against her chest.

Finding herself properly shaken she would quickly take the Lightsaber that had somehow stayed in her grip and press the hilt against Tanx's waist. Igniting the blade it would burn it's way across his waist destroying his hip bones and leaving a big ghastly hole in him. She quickly extinguished the blade to prevent it from being used against her and now would quickly move to pin and hold on to the Mando to serve as a human shield against the idiot with the jetpack. If he wanted to shoot her he would now have to risk hitting his buddy.

@christhebarker @Algarus @KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

The Sith was getting sporty, it seemed. She managed to block his shots, but he didn't stop there at all. Sumas, without holstering his pistol, he dropped a grenade set to impact detonation down from his belt about 2 meters behind the Sith on her knees. Following up with that he fired twice simultaneously with both pistols at her back as well. The grenade would go off and the shots would land before Tanx collided with her. And if he was in the grenade's range, Amur's body was meaty enough(she was a little skinny in Sumas' opinion) to stop the shrapnel from hitting him. Likewise he had armour where she didn't. Odds of her avoiding these attacks on her knees with her focus on Tanx was highly unlikely.

Next to take care of was the other Sith, who would find Sumas out of the concussion grenade's blast and fully aware. She had to run for a bit to get to the alley which gave Sumas all the time he needed to attack the Sith. And when she peered out from around the corner, Sumas caught it just in time. With something akin to a squeak, grunt and a "yeet" he reversed in behind the building to avoid the lightning that would now shoot past him without even hitting him. At the same time, his left hand holstered his pistol and flung a frag grenade set to remote detonation that would bounce against the opposite wall of the alley and fall past her. As he stabilized he would hit the detonator on his wrist and the grenade would go off mid-air about 3 meters from the Sith's body to her left. With her focused on her force lightning at this range, breaking off to try and counter the grenade with the force was very unlikely. If she managed to manipulate the grenade back at them, Sumas would be smart enough to not detonate the grenade or even be in its radius.

Now knowing exactly where both opponents were, he could relax a bit and keep easier track of them. The Sith in the alley only had so many areas to come from so keeping an eye on them would be easy. Her friend below him would most likely be unconscious and even if she wasn't, the shots already in her back would be taking its toll on her. She wouldn't be able to keep fighting like this with those wounds bleeding out on her. Hopefully her friend would take that into account and do something rational. He wanted to give them the option of retreating with their lives intact...but did Sith even care about their comrades? Reloading both pistols with lightning speed he was ready for whatever would follow...

[Tanx Solus]

Being pulled through the air was a weird feeling, just seeing yourself move without any perceivable reason for it played with sense a bit, but if she wanted them to be a bit closer all she had to do was ask. As he flew through the air, braced himself and angled his head down towards the floor with his hands ahead of him to braced for any impact. before reaching his next destination saw a flash of light across the floor with explosion then another explosion.

If Amur was still in the flight path Tanx, he would crash into her, dropping his blaster in the crash but remaining ahold of his beskad as he landed on top her. immediately realising what had happened Tanx would proceed to grab Amur her clothes by her shoulder, and pull her into a Keldabe kiss (headbutt) againest his helmet, in hopes of dazing her with the sudden blow to the head before bringing his Beskad against her throat and while grabbing the hand that held her lightsaber.
