"Wheeeeeeeeeee!" Sal squeeled in delight as he was sent soaring by the human, his light and gaunt form streaking through the air in a billowing cloud of white thanks to his lab coat. The man continued to laugh to himself, rolling side to side on the floor at the predicament the three sith were now in. Oh this was rich, this was better than he could even ask for! The sorcerer continued to laugh even as the robo-human squaked and squaked in anger like a fiery parakeet. The zabrak seemed to just be brain dead, as he hadn't made much in the way of any expression at their new problem, an unsurprising outcome. Still, the laughter coming from the skinny Devaronian continued to bounce off the walls of the temple apex as the seconds ticked away until their imminent demise.
Jax seemed to look around the temple for any other exit points that they could use to their advantage. Sal slowly calmed down, his laughter lessening into bubbly giggles. It seemed his research was coming true like he had predicted it would, sure the 3vAll matchup was a possible hypothesis that he hadn't considered, but with their linked trance it seemed as though a communal trial was what would now determine their fate. If they won, the might of ancients would be theirs when they awoke and returned to their bodies. If they lost, their souls would be tortured for all eternity, subject to the vengance of a legion of faceless worms who would seek to fester and infect their essences until nothing more remained- a painful prospect to say the least. It was a gamble, yet some of the greatest scientific breakthroughs went through such similar trials, this was nothing new. The possible power was too great to be dissuaded by the cons, especially when someone like Sal knew how precisely to utilize it as a sorcerer.
Finally though, the robo-human looked back to him with the usual stern and enraged gleam in his eye. "Hahaha, sorry baby, there's no way out of this one, we're trapped in here. In a few minutes we're all about to get fucked as well as killed, a kinky yet fitting way to die, no?" the sorcerer posited, licking his purple lips a bit as he looked up at Jax. He was just getting the shivers thinking about what was waiting for them on the other side of that massive door. Even now, the wails of the damned could be heard growing into an unholy chorus as any moment their assault on the temple would begin. Valik seemed to also be preparing himself for battle, curtly responding to the human before adjusting his gear.
"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock" Sal said, twidling his fingers as he sat there with crossed legs on the floor of the temple. His mouth was cureld upwards still into a state of glee and anticipation, his heart was beating a mile a minute, the prospect of a fate worse than death gave him a strange sense of joy. He could feel the dark side all around him, it was present in the three sith, the legion of damned slaves outside, and the very world itself. "Hmmmm, tasty" he mused softly, closing his eyes and sitting up straight. After this the sorcerer would fall silent, he was starting to feel it, what he had sought from this experiment, he was on the verge to delving into perhaps the most pure and unadulterated form of the dark side tangible. He had spent years searching for it, researching its presence in the world, yet now in the face of imminent destruction, it lay closer than ever, just at his fingertips.
"Keep them busy for me" the sorcerer said as the doors to the temple chamber began to shake and rattle, the hinges starting to stretch against the stone frame of the massive door. Sal remained silent from there on, his eyes shut and his body unnaturally still, with little signs of life and an absent pulse, he had slipped into a deep trance- he had descended deeper than this level of collective consciousness and layer of the dark side into what lay beyond the abyss. His body now was simply an empty shell sitting like a corpse in perfect meditation, unresponding and unmoving to any orders the two marauders would give him, his mind was now gone.
He had completed his research, and had now made his leap of faith, only time would tell if he came back or dragged the other two into the dark with him to be consumed.
In the meantime, the doors to the temple finally came of their hinges with a mighty 'BOOM', the large metal barriers falling down onto the stone floor with a rattle. A few moments later, black humanoids of varying sizes would begin to flood into the room, making a B-line for Jax and Valik who now stood in front of Sal as he meditated. This first wave held roughly 100 mongrels, a scouting party meant to test the group's force before sending in the heavy infantry, they would be cut down like flies, unless of course the two sith simply let them overwhelm the temple...
