Open Ossus Kyber Poaching

[Kyp]

Kyp had heard of the legendary Jedi's Force Powers before but had never engaged with one and, therefore, didn't know what to expect. He certainly didn't expect the mine cart he'd kicked to come hurtling back at him. Surprised, all he could do was put up an arm to protect himself as the hunk of metal impacted.

Welp, that was a wrist and a rib broken for sure, not to mention the pounding headache he felt and the dull throbbing pain in his femur that Kyp seriously hoped was just a bruise and not a break. Still, Mandalorian armor was nothing if not durable so the Lepi was still alive, if trapped for the moment. As much as he enjoyed a good fight and as angry as he was feeling, he couldn't leave his other Mandalorian behind.

Groaning and straining audibly for anyone down in the cavern to hear, Kyp readied his grapple attachment. The mining cart was resting on his legs and he might be able to left it up himself normally but that would take time. And time was something he didn't have. He attached the grapple to a nearby stalactite and manually winched it. It would slowly pull him upwards and out from under the cart.

Assuming, he went unhindered, he'd reload his blaster one handed.

Rishe didn't meet any obstruction when it came to coming up nearly behind the third mercenary. With Ryker attacking from the front and her from behind, she was confident with their odds, and felt she could take extra care with how she attacked. No longer faced with a chaotic battle on both sides, she'd forgo her lightsaber as she approached, her right hand outstretched as she strained to immobilize the mercenary, a creeping, heavy weight falling upon his hands and arms. She wasn't the strongest force user, but she knew how to pace herself for moments like these where her powers would be more taxing.

Byron and what appeared to be numerous clones moved down the tunnel towards the Mandalorian. But for whatever reason, the warrior didn't reload to fire another shot or switch weapons, not that he had any reloads for the ion launcher. Byron would hope to benefit from the slowed movements of the armored warrior. Rishe had a five year headstart on being a jedi that Byron didn't have. But there were other things he had learned in those years as a denizen of the ordinary.

The doppelgangers would swarm over the Mandalorian, confusing him to lash out or react to a false Ryker clones. Stepping within striking distance, the Jedi would bring an arm and open hand to bear up and guard between him and the Mandalorian's weapon muzzle and the arms that held it. The other would come back and give the T visor a solid left cross that would leave him reeling from both the shear brute strength of the strike and the stunning affect of the glove. The Knight wanted the armored warrior to be knocked out in one blow and get this over as quickly as possible.

His gun now loaded, Kyp took one step forward and immediately winced. He grunted, ignored the pain and stepped forward again. Again, he winced. Those injuries may have been more severe than he initially felt. Much as he might want to kick some serious Jedi ass and help his fellow Mandos out, he also didn't want to disgrace his good Vizsla name by getting his butt handed to him again. Besides, they'd done at least part of their job okay - the miners had been evacuated safely. He limped out of the caves, trying to retreat to fight another day.

OOC: Moving things along a bit since it's been a couple months now and from the OOC concerns raised about the extent of Kyp's injuries. Hope that's alright

The duplicated appearance of Byron swarmed over the remaining Mandalorian. The Jedi wasn't sure what was going through the warrior's head but whatever thoughts he had they would soon quiet. The gauntleted fist surged up into the helmeted jaw, causing a thunderous impact. The Mandalorian, while slowed by the efforts of Rishe would seem to be yanked from any further stasis as his heavy body toppled onto the cave floor.

The illusory clones had gone, nowhere to be seen anymore now that Byron had used the technique successfully. "Are you hurt?" He asked and turned slightly to the padawan. Taking a few steps towards the Mandalorian, Byron would remove the weapons from his person. Silence came through the kyber mines indicating there were no others remaining. Looking towards the direction of the mining cart and the Lepi Mandalorian.

The Ysanna would be safe from the mining corporation and their thugs after this. The Jedi would have a follow through sweep to secure any left behind and make the place safe for other Order affiliates. Ossus and the rest of the Jedi Order would benefit thanks to their clearing of the mines. If there were roboticists, they could potentially get some information from the commando droid and possibly from the captured Mandalorian. "I'll call the council and let them know we've completed our mission. Good work today."

The padawan didn't flinch as fist met jaw, but the crack of an impact was still an unpleasant thing to hear. Without the helmet, bones might have really been broken. She didn't disable her lightsaber quite yet, keeping it in her main hand as she gave the narrow tunnel one last scan, as if expecting something else.

"No, Master. Other than some charred cloth and maybe a small burn or two. If they're there, I don't feel them, yet." She said, looking at the singed sleeves of her tunic and the glittering dust that seemed to coat it. With a brief moment of concentration, it shot off her in a cloud, settling into a ring around her feet and leaving her somewhat cleaner. It was hard to adjust to just... not fighting all of a sudden.

Though, at Ryker's praise, she smiled as the amber blade of her saber dissipated. "Thank you. It does seem to have gone frighteningly well. Though... the stolen Kyber will need to be reclaimed. Hopefully before the miners can escape off-world." She said.

"I can keep an eye on these two if you want to make that call - wait." She halted, looking down the shaft of the tunnel. The mandalorian was nowhere to be seen, and she didn't feel a presence at all. "This one, then." She said, a frustration slipping into her words. She didn't consider the droid to be of much importance, and if she saw it, she might have assumed she scrapped it regardless, something that might allow it to avoid notice as the Order mopped up in the caves and on the planet.
