Roman Antilles (TL8) · Dec 4, 2019

.

House Ulgo members had congregated around the altar, a ceremony seemingly was undertaking as the priest out in front spoke in language too archaic for the common tongue to decipher. After House Organna had come under attack, Ulgo would have been likely next in succession. The Sith Order was relentless in its extermination, having good evidence that the royal houses no longer supported the plight of dark siders.

It was a shame, they were all notable houses.

But, it was an enforcer of the ancient house Antilles that arrived in concert to execute the martial plan. After all, an executor of darkness could be no more poetic than being the one whose lineage was disgraced. Roman moved towards the twin doors housing said congregation, his armored presence invoking a certain terrifying reinforcement of Sith might. The force coiled around his contours, allowing him to seep into its networks to gauge an estimation of surroundings.

Hmm, what was this?

He thought to himself; for within the sea of darkness, there seemed to be a singular array of light. A Jedi? He had thought he disposed of all Jedis that ventured into his former home. But perhaps, the Rebel resistance was more convicted than he ever gave them credit for. Malicious lips curled into a smile as he ignited the crimson lightsaber into his right grasp. Left handed fingers curled into a fist as he smashed against the doors, forcing them open with a sudden gust of wind. The durasteel helm illuminating under the red light of his shimmering weapon.

Roman spoke no words, for the Sith had little to say to those he was about to murder. The code of the ancient purebloods came to mind, resting on the tenet of Strength.

Racaiya Wylddun · Dec 5, 2019

Racaiya came to Alderran per request by House Ulgo, being informed that they were afraid of a potential Sith attack. They had devised an escape plan for when the Sith arrived, and Racaiya would end up facing him in a one on one confrontation. She felt nervous, but not out of fear; She always felt nervous when preparing for a battle. Racaiya was the peaceful type, but her duties as a Jedi preceded her. What made the situation worse was that Racaiya did not have her lightsaber on her, so she decided to put her trust into the force.

The House Ulgo members prepared secret escape exits that they could use to escape expeditiously. Racaiya stood amongst the crowd to blend in until the time came, and it did. When the Sith forced open the door, all of the members fled to their respective exits. Racaiya continued to stay in her same position: Infront of the altar bowing her head. Standing in complete silence for a full minute, Racaiya finally turned around to face the Sith. "You cast fear amongst these people, return where you came from." She said soothingly.

The Sith that stood before Racaiya felt more powerful than the one she faced before, but it didn't deter Racaiya; She felt confident in her abilities.

Roman tilted his head to the side, appearing to be lost in wayward thought as piercing orbs of crimson merely glared on the Jedi. "A single Padawan? Your masters must have great confidence in you, to assign you on this task alone. Leave, Jedi, for once, I have other things to contend with.." His voice sharp and raveled by darkened force, granting it a deeper and unnatural bass tone. He quickly shifted his attention towards the House Ulgo matron standing several meters behind Racalya, and extending his free left hand outwards, he gripped her throat into a punishing grip.

The force strength of the Sith was considerable, lifting the elderly woman by her throat as she began to struggle with the aspyxiation. Arms and legs flailing while the flesh of her face slowly turned from pink into a sour purple. "You have stayed too long in your comfort as ruling house of Alderaan. Antilles will have its vengeance today!" He shouted, his voice booming across the lobby of the citadel and instilling an aura of palpable fear of those gathered around.

What would the Jedi do next? Would she be the savior and fight the Sith in this holy ground? Or would she stand idly by as the armored terror crushed the life out of those she sworn to protect?

Racaiya Wylddun · Dec 6, 2019

Racaiya merely smiled at the sith. "I have no master, and it is unwise to underestimate your foe. All great warriors should know that, but I guess that must mean my assumption of you being a great warrior was wrong." Her voice was still calm and maintained its soothing tone. She wanted to intentionally make the sith angry, fully knowing it would only fuel the dark side within him. However, Racaiya understood that a clear mind would forever be stronger than pure power.

Racaiya did not seem to care about the lady dying; her job was to fight the sith, not to protect the people. The force didn't demand that the woman's life be saved, however, a small, barely audible cry for help could be heard from her. Deciding to intervene, Racaiya decided to test the strength of the Sith. She knew that it takes a lot of concentration to choke and lift someone at the same time and that the concentration could easily be disturbed by the smallest of disruptions. Using the force, Racaiya lifted up about ten seats within the room and launched them towards the sith. The sith would have two options: attempt to maintain full concentration but get pelted by chairs, or let go of the woman in order to dodge or use another force ability.

What was this? A Jedi who favored combat over principle and morale? Interesting...

Perhaps she had a sliver of dark sided affinity.

Roman thought to himself as the Jedi instead of rushing to save the innocent, decided instead to go on the offensive against him. He was impressed to the say the least, and her quickness to leap into combat was seemingly admirable. Sulfur orbs glanced as the chairs and wood objects snapped towards him, forcing the Sith to release his grip and instead bright the left arm upwards in a closed fist to shield his face and torso from the attack. The first chair smacked against the armored breast plate, breaking into splinters but also hurling him backwards several steps such that the others flew over his head. The last backpedal made him stumble, falling to a single knee with the crimson blade still humming in his right grasp.

He released a short breath, low growl emitting as Roman lifted his head upwards and glanced at the lightsider. "Not bad..." He said, in a plain and monotone voice. Suddenly, he shot forwards, utilizing a burst of force speed as the armored form shimmered quickly as a mere blur and appeared within melee range of the Jedi. Simple and sharp, he swung his right handed blade towards her torso from her left to right. It would be a clash of light against dark, as the two force users now finally engaged in a proper duel. Though, they would not be alone as each other's threat. In the nearby distance, whistling of several jetpacks could be heard as the noise slowly grew in intensity as the newcomers rapidly descended upon them.

Racaiya Wylddun · Dec 7, 2019

Once dropped, the elderely lady fled leaving Racaiya with no more distractions. Discrepancies in the force could be felt, it seemed as if more foes would arrive. At first, Racaiya assumed that they were the Sith's reinforcements, but she soon dismissed that idea. The Sith appeared to have too much pride to bring reinforcements; the dark side was clouding his mind. She felt pity towards the Sith: "He traded sanity for a useless power."

Racaiya expected the Sith to rush in for an attack, however, she held her ground. Even if she defeated the Sith, Racaiya would just be crushed by whoever was making their way to her location. Her plan was to "team" up with the Sith, and escape. She merely stared the sith down as he got closer, and she spoke calmly as he began to swing his blade: "We have unexpected visitors outside." Racaiya could only hope that the Sith was competent enough to stop, but it would not have mattered if he wasn't. If the force demanded her death, Racaiya would accept it. She had saved the House Ulgo members, and there were too many aggressors outside for the sith to handle.

Roman rushed towards her, in all honesty, he was prepared to finish her off as it seemed that the Jedi was unwilling to fight back. A pity. He thought to himself, as he brought his blade in a horizontal manner to strike her down. However, at the last minute, her voice echoed in his mind and the sounds of those outside caught a glimpse in his peripheral attention. Abruptly ceasing the strike, the hovering plasma weapon stood only centimeters away from the Jedi's flesh, surely burning a few hairs and making her discomfort that much more antagonizing.

He looked at her closely for a longer second before lowering his weapon, head turning to the side as he door to the citadel was blown down by several explosives. Array of blaster fire followed seconds later, tainting the citadel with shards and red blaster bolts. Several members of house Ulgo were struck down in the cross fire while the Sith himself snapped his attention and began defensive maneuvers with his lightsaber held in his grasp.

"Seems we were tracked.." He said to the Jedi. Roman snarled slightly, a low growl emitting from the durasteel helm as his left hand contoured blinked and cackled with a torrent of red lightning. The force attack was prepared though not unleashed; perhaps he thought, it would make the intruders second guess their charge.

The heat from the lightsaber didn't bother Racaiya, but she did find something amusing. The Sith before her could have easily killed her and then attempted to fight the intruders by himself, but he did not. Though she couldn't feel in the force, Racaiya theorized that the Sith had fear deep within his subconscious, or at least a lack of confidence in his own abilities. Racaiya was taught that Sith do not care for discussion, maybe her Jedi teachings were wrong; she threw away those thoughts immediately. Racaiya couldn't help but smile at the Sith humorously.

When the door was blown open, Racaiya immediately produced a force barrier in front of her because she anticipated that blaster bolts would follow. However, she could not do anything to protect the House Ulgo members; it was their fault for not escaping when they were given a chance. Racaiya had to use two hands to create a big enough barrier to protect her front side, and she hoped the Sith would go on the offensive. However, the Sith seemed to be holding back rather than unleashing the lightning; "Why?" Racaiya thought to herself. Somewhat confused and frustrated, Racaiya yelled at the Sith "You're a Sith what are you holding back for!?"
