Planetary Defenses? What Planetary Defenses?

[Epicjester]

"This kid is going to fall in a week." Rhem thought to himself as he let the blaster rifle be snatched from his fingers with the Force. A look of false shock coming over his face as Keita dashed towards him. Where all Jedi this aggressive? Weren't they supposed to draw strength from things like serenity, focus and compassion? Judging from the psychotic giggling he was getting from his opponent, Keita felt none of that.

While wondering how the hell his Masters permitted such an unstable individual to carry a lightsaber. Rhem stepped to the side avoiding Keita's slash complexly with an almost bored look on his face. Its not like such a maneuver was hard. Such an attack was so obviously telegraphed and flashy that Rhem's inner pragmatist nearly wept at the sight of it. The obvious tell as well as Rhem's own specialization in defensive lightsaber combat made such a dodge a rather simple matter. "Sloppy." He commented, free hand already drawing one of the blaster pistols from his belt. With a movement that Rhem put a great deal of effort into looking casual. The blaster was raised at Keita who was still currently in the air. And it was once again fired.

Thankfully, this time Rhem was kind enough to set the blaster to stun. Not that such a fact would be overly helpful to Keita. As he was currently falling through the air, with his lightsaber already having swung and missed. The Jedi would currently have a rather difficult time avoiding such a point blank shot with no way to alter his current momentum.

Triton had came to this planet and snatch a criminal and now it seemed a war was going on, some people had run to him, asking for help though he was just suppose to grab a criminal and head out. Now he was going to be a hero like he tried not to be, being a solider sucked too and let's not talk about being a Jedi knight that was far from annoying it was frustrating and his master with his stupid jokes were just the worst.

Right now all he could think of how he was cursed with the worst life possible, running towards the commotion the sector ranger was going to end this one way or another somehow even if it means killing someone. One of the few things he took from the Jedi was not killing which was simply because of his stupid teacher Jaleer the old fart was the worst of them all.

Heading into the fire Triton took out one of his blaster a, carrying with him two pistols, his stun cuffs, his badge, two flash grenades, and his awesome leather jacket. While heading into the mess, he found a very interesting fellow who stood over a few injured guards.

"Now sir is that anyway to treat a employee?" Triton said with casual tone.

Vlatkat looked over his shoulder at the person approaching. He sensed something in the man, and after a second he realized what it was. He sensed the force. This man was the Jedi he had sensed earlier. Vlatkat let out a loud sigh. The nautolan was inwardly frustrated. While he had no qualms against beating some Sith justice into this assailant if need be, he was hoping they wouldn't get involved in the first place. "Where in blazes do all of you people keep coming from!?" He grumbled indignantly. "Here I am just going about my business and then suddenly there are Jedi running all over the place!"

Vlatkat turned, then leaned against the wall in a huff. He crossed his arms passively disguising his movements. He secretly put his hand within reach of his saber, while simultaneously pointing the stolen blaster in his direction. "So what do you want? I'm on a schedule."

 

[Richie B.]

Triton couldn't believe this, the man before him thought he was a Jedi, which just wasn't accepted, the ranger had once been a Jedi but now he was a Sector ranger after leaving the Jedi order it was just a big no no. The Sith had just made his first mistake and wasn't going to be given a chance now, even if Triton wasn't going to kill the Sith he certainly isn't going to break a few bones now.

Letting his free hand reach down towards his own lightsaber this fight was about to get ugly for the Sith. And he was going to show why he had survived both the invasion of his home, and becoming a sector ranger. Triton had his pistol point at the Sith if this fight was going to go down, than they both will be at even footing.

"You know I was thinking of letting you live without any real scars but, just so we are clear I am not a Jedi. An trust me unlike them I am going to actually try and hurt you. Just going to have to make sure you don't die." Triton didn't care how dark he sounded he had every intention of making sure he brought the Sith back to republic space.

"This is taking too long, forget it... I'll do it myself." Pulling his hostage back, the Sith takes out the surrounding guards with a few well placed shots before snapping the hostage's neck. "Guards have been taken out, what's your status?"

"Who... Are you?" One of the fallen guard gasps, barely able to get the words to form. "What... do you..."

Before he could finish his thought a plasma bolt burns through his head, fired from Kato's smoking pistol. "You're worst nightmare," he mumbles to himself as he tossed the ammo-less blaster aside, walking away from the carnage he had wrecked with nothing but a grin. There was still a nagging disturbance in the force around him, more force users were in the building, more than came in with him at least. Reassembling his lightsaber quickly as he scurries away from the scene, tucking the chromed hilt away as soon as he finished. Activating his Comlink the Sith crouches down, placing his hand to his ear trying, to find the signal. "I'm sure you've realised this but there's someone else here, and they're not just regular guards either, I'm moving to meet up with you."

Standing up, Kato turns to find a girl draped in tan cloth standing in the doorway. Annoyed by there still being interruptions to the plan Kato looks deep into the girl's eyes, searching for a sign of weakness. "Get out of my way, I have things to do," he commands as he readjusts his hat, still glaring at the woman.

Semira watched as a man turned the corner while talking on a commlink. No doubt that was one of the invaders of the base.

"Get out of my way, I have things to do."

Semira grinned at this notation. After all, the man and his comrades has probably already wrecked most of the base. She doubted there was that much more that the man really had to do.

"No, I think I'll stay right here. Someone's got to stop this mess."

Semira took off her robe, but didn't try to pull out her lightsaber. Perhaps merely seeing it would be enough to scare the man off. Semira had no idea that the man in front of her was a Sith, but she did know he was a threat to the relatively peaceful spaceport and its civilians. And it was a Jedi's duty to protect the innocent.

Vlatkat raised an eyebrow at Triton. "You will try of course." he snarked, then proceeded to back his way down the hallway, right into the vision of one of the cameras, which had conveniently been turned back on a few seconds ago. "I do not wish to maim nor kill anyone, and even as you condemn me I have not done so yet. So if bloodshed is what you wish, then it will be shed on your hands. But I can hardly expect more from someone who launches terrorist attacks on peaceful territories for the sake of control. Their fear of us would be so helpful to the Jedi cause, would it not? For someone who says he isn't Jedi, you feel like one." He discretely allowed his saber to enter his hand, then left the wall to continue walking as if he were trying to exit the fight passively. Which, he was. He didn't want to cause any more trouble, and in the eyes of the public it would be better if he didn't. He could sense a greater objective was unfolding.

If this man wasn't a Jedi after all, perhaps a deserter with enough sense to realize the ignorance of the Order after a while, then he might not be against initiating. Otherwise, Vlatkat would follow in the path of his colleague and use this situation to his advantage. "Do not blame me for your self righteous persecution. We will not start this. You will."

 

[Epicjester]

"That went well." Rhem commented to himself as he walked away from the defeated body of his opponent. Marveling at how easy that was. A small part of him knowing that his victory mostly boiled down to his opponent being cocky and inexperienced. Chances are he wouldnt get that lucky in the future.

But that just means he'd have to fight even dirtier. Raising a hand to his ear. Rhem pressed down on his commlink. "Well. My job is done. So I'm going to duck out for a bit. You two have fun dealing with your own Jedi opponents. Mine was pretty stupid. So it was a cakewalk." A small chuckle could be heard by the other two Sith. "Happy hunting you two. Try to get your jobs done and not die~"

 

[Richie B.]

Triton wanted to laugh it was just too funny that a SITH who was INVADING a planet was saying he was the bad guy. No wonder, they were apparently all idiots, how sad that they have so much power but the brain power of a Jawa. Smiling knowing that the Sith purposefully set into the camera for some reason most likely trying to gain some propaganda to use later. Sadly the Sith was about to get a wake up call, if he has even half a brain he will realize that there really no good side, an even if there was the Sith wasn't on it.

"So the man invading a planet is talking about not shedding blood, how funny, really I don't usually laugh but you, are really making it hard not to laugh. An actually you already started this, I'm just going to end this." Triton said not caring for falling into a philosophical argument with the Sith, whatever they were planning if it involved anything mechanical, he could fix and undo there attempts.

"You stand over bodies of the people of this planet, no matter what you say, you already showed your true natural." Triton pointed his pistol to the Sith being ready to take down the fool.

Walking forward in front of the door which the Sith was no longer near and fired a stun bolt before switching to lethal, and firing three more bolts. One at the Sith's right leg, one to his left and the third on his chest. It would be difficult for the Sith and cause him to focus his attention on deflecting those bolts. With his other hand using a few fingers to grab a flash grenade priming it before rolling it towards the sith having only a few moments to react not enough time to use the force to send the grenade away. Triton will slide through the open door protecting his eyes from the flash that would most likely stun and blind the Sith if he doesn't take any precaution.

"Any attempts in the future to annex this territory are out of the question." He slyly shifted the meaning of the mans words to fit within the narrative he was spinning. The man had not caught on to what was happening. "Our negotiations are finessed and productive, not sinister like this. But I believe I may need to convince my brothers to different strategies if you think attacking Cadinth in this way to keep your public image up is acceptable."

Vlatkat eyed the mans pistol wryly, channeling the force as he stared down the barrel. He was ready for what would come next.

You stand over the bodies of the of the people of this planet. No matter what you say, you have already shown your true nature."

"Live bodies of course. I haven't ki-" Vlatkat suddenly was cut off by a violent burst of blaster fire, and he reacted accordingly with a reflexive movement bordering on instinct. He ignited his saber, curving his hand to fling the first bolt to the side into the wall. Thanks to his proficiency in makashi, he did not need to use both hands as he defended. At the next bolt he bent low, curving his saber in a single motion downward across his legs while simultaneously firing his blaster to shoot his own volley at the man.

He fired three shots in rapid succession, two at the chest, one at the head. Interwoven in those shots were the two deflected blasts that barreled at the mans left shoulder and lower right waistline. At this point Triton had not ignited his light saber, instead grasping for an object with his other hand. It would take at least a full second for him to convert this motion into a mad grab for his blade, a second he did not have. Any time spent doing whatever he was doing would mean an instantaneous death, though the incoming hail of lasers would prove practically impossible to come away from unscathed now that he had no way to defend himself for a few moments.

The last blast Vlatkat had to bend a bit more awkwardly to deflect, causing it to bounce more at Tritons feet than anything else. Vlatkat prepared himself for any more attacks, striking a defensive posture and advancing quickly toward Triton.

The Sith wasn't the only one that hard the force, even if Triton didn't like using it, he was still felt when something bad was happening like any other Sith or Jedi, so instead of activating his lightsaber when the bolts went at him. He simply went behind the door like he planned to do anyway, but just a bit sooner than expected, keeping a hold of the flash grenade, the ranger was ready to test this Sith's skills in ways he doubted the Sith has practice with.

One..

Two..

Just before the grenade will go off, the ranger throw it out towards the Sith, putting his lightsaber back when he throw the grenade and grabbing his second pistol. The flash would have gone off and unless the Sith took the precaution of covering his eyes, he would be blinded for even a few moments, and that was all Triton needed, pointing the guns out of the door, way and fired a flurry of bolts.

They were aimed near the Sith was near, though the force helped aim his shots, his right pistol would aim for the Sith's upper body, while the other aimed for his younger body, a total of 12 shots, 6 for upper, 6 for lower. It would be physically impossible to deflect all of the shots, no matter what the Sith tried, unless he had a second lightsaber or moved out of the way, but with the flash grenade he should be more concerned with covering his eyes, even if he moved it would most likely cause a sound which the ranger will than use to figure out where the Sith was and than once again just unload onto the fool. The fight had began but the ranger planned on finishing it quickly to finish off any other fool in the base.

"No, I think I'll stay right here. Someone's got to stop this mess."

Spotting the woman's Lightsaber Kato let out a seemingly out of place chuckle, opening his coat to reveal his own blade. The girl was bold, maybe one of the new crusaders who had been hunting down his brethren. Whatever she was, she wasn't the same as any other force user he had faced before, darkness surrounded her, only being repelled by the veil of light that most Jedi seemed to have.

"Stop? The damage is done, if anything you'll just delay the inevitable, so why don't you save us both some time and get. Out. Of. My. Way." Jedi always were and always will be stubborn, this the Sith knew. Taking his hilt into his hand, Kato ignites the weapon, extending the purple blade through the air. "However if you want to taste death, draw your sword, and stop wasting my time." Flourishing the saber, Kato takes steps towards the tan robed woman before extending his arm forcefully, channelling a gust of force energy towards her.

 

[+SpaceJesus+]

The nautolan used the amount of time he had to close the distance between himself and Triton, his feet flying forward as fast as he could without using the force. Vlatkat sensed the imminent danger before it came, but he hardly needed precognition to know what would come next. He could recognize the tell tale click and faint ringing of a primed explosive in his sleep. It was one of the many advantages of having such an unorthodox hobby as delving into incendiary arts. He knew that he only had a moment to react before the thing went off. He knew that it was to small of an area for his opponent to risk throwing a full fledged thermal detonator, as that would be as much a danger to him as it was to Triton. It would either be small grade explosive or a flash bang, but either way he knew he didn't want that thing on his side of the hallway.

As Triton turned to throw the grenade, Vlatkat aimed his gun at the mans hand and fired. The bolt struck the object just as it left Tritons fingers. It was not a direct hit unfortunately, as that would have signaled an immediate explosion. It simply struck it sideways, sending it tumbling back the other way behind Triton, where it exploded haphazardly. Vlatkat was then attacked by yet another barage of blasters. They were thankfully grouped together quite nicely, allowing him to deflect several at a time. However, he could not get all of them without injury, so he leapt to the left, bringing his leg up onto the wall, then springing forward towards the door. This sudden movement allowed him to move out of the way of many of the lasers that were being flung at him.

He deflected several bolts that screamed up toward him from where he leapt mid air, projecting them downward and around the doorway to keep Triton from dodging back there again. Vlatkat then caught himself on the wall on the right, sending him into a precautionary roll. He closed the distance between the two without being his. Now he stood only a yard or two away. He raised his saber quickly to deflect any more incoming bolts, then fired two more shots at the mans stomach.

 

[Reya Starlyght]

Upon seeing that the man had drawn a lightsaber, Semira immediately drew hers, igniting the orange blade. She only had a second to get ready before the man threw her backwards. Making a mid-air maneuver to position her feet behind her, Semira then promptly turned the man's push against him by using the wall to push off and attack him. Saber in her right hand, Semira was looking to engage a saber lock and then land on her feet. If the man tried to dodge her attack, she would land and take up a defensive position.

 

[TheBlackace]

Seeing how acrobatic the woman was surprised Kato, an Ataru specialist maybe? He thinks to himself as he tries to formulate a counter to the form, lifting his blade into a basic block, clashing his purple against her orange. Normally this would be an oppertune time to draw his blaster and fire into his oponent's stomach, however he had used all of his power cells in the previous shootout. He had fought Jedi before, but they were old, grizzled men. This woman was young, she still has a full life ahead of her. Not that it was an issue, a Jedi is a Jedi, no matter how young. Resorting to more traditional methods, the Sith forced all his strength into the saber lock pushing the woman onto her back foot, flourishing his blade again before swiping at her legs.

"You're weak, you're surrounded by power but you choose to ignore it. The dark side isn't something to be afraid of, take it in, make it your own."

 

[Richie B.]

Triton watched as the man did so much unnecessary movement, even if the flash grenade didn't work, Triton wasn't so single minded that he wasn't able to change plans when needed. With the bolts coming back at him, he moved back behind the door as he wasn't all the way out of the door way, so he simply was able to step completely into the room keeping himself safe from the bolts coming at him. The Sith seemed so desperate to get close, Triton holstered his right pistol and put back so that he can carry his lightsaber. Looks like this will be a long fight, which he felt confident he could win, the ranger will look back out after the shots had gone past him, and saw the Sith doing a roll, and took a single shot out, with the speed of a trained force user and sector ranger, the shot will go an hit the Sith in the side.

Sadly for the Sith this will be nearly impossible to defend against as he is unable to really use his lightsaber during the roll to defend himself and without the time to defend himself the Sith will feel it like a sharp pain. Most likely causing the Sith to be bleeding in large quantities, and force the Sith to spend time to heal himself or surround, a hit like that would be impossible to recover from, if this Sith was still able to stand even, the ranger will ask the man one question.

"Is becoming a tool for the force fun? Do you feel powerful being a simply pawn to it?" Triton asked knowing most likely the fool will not be able to defend himself, even if he did the ranger activated his lightsaber already and ready to defend himself if need be.

[+SpaceJesus+]

The Sith had anticipated the shot, and had rolled so that he went diagonally, sending his body rotating sideways on the ground so that he would allow his sword to face his opponent. He clamped his hand down on his sabers hilt as he curved his wrist gracefully, taking advantage of the hilts shape to propel the movement forward and give his swing a sudden quickness about it. The blast was caught by a downward swing from his lightsaber, sending it whizzing into the floor to the right. Vlatkat allowed his momentum to spring him to a kneeling position, his saber turned to the side defensively, guarding himself on his side of the doorway in which they stood.

Vlatkat fired a single shot from where he stood, then paused in order to listen to the mans question. The nautolan stared straight into Tritons eyes as he asked him his question. The man was in no position to be mocking Vlatkat, what with being only a single wrong move from being impaled by his saber. A sudden seriousness came about Vlatkat, as if conviction itself had clenched its rugged hands upon his shoulders.

"Yes."

Vlatkat cocked his head to the side thoughtfully. "Though we are all pawns in the end anyway. Some pawns, however, need to be taught their place."

 

[Reya Starlyght]

Now that Semira's saber was locked with the Sith's, Semira shifted her grip on her lightsaber into two hand, applying more force. The man still managed to push her back, he obviously has more strength than her, but Semira, expecting an attack to her lower body, managed to flip over the man's saber. She landed farther in front of him, and took up a defensive position.

"There's a difference between being afraid of something, and choosing not to use it."

 

[TheBlackace]

"Nonsense, why would anyone choose to be weak." The Sith mocked, waving his lightsaber around in front of himself. "We both want the same thing, peace, but you're taking the long and hard road." Slowly pacing towards the woman Kato swings his blade at the ground beside him, flinging sparks across the spaceport floor.

"Can you truly comprehend peace with a suppressed personality? Do the Jedi even understand what they're striving for? Or do you only want war with our people... Maybe our kin aren't so different after all." The man deactivates his lightsaber, retracting the purple blade back into the hilt before hooking it back to his belt. He extends his arm, grasping a nearby bench with the force, launching it at his foe before spinning around to grab and throw another with the arms of the force.

 

[Richie B.]

(OOC: Sorry that it took so long hopefully this is good)

Triton had managed to deflect the shot harmlessly into the right side, staring into the eyes of his opponent he was surprised truly this was not how this was suppose to go down, he was being actually pushed more and more. Though he was a sector ranger this was a Sith, which meant he might just maybe have to break that vow for a one time moment, if he did though it would truly have fallen, to not only be unable to save his friends, but no longer able to keep his own promises. But that moment hasn't arrived just yet, so he waited to hear what his opponent had to say, his blue and the red making a interesting color effect in the room, Triton hadn't used his lightsaber in a long time but it felt familiar in a way that pissed off Triton.

Truly he was trained by a good master, even if the sector ranger hated the Jedi sage, but right now Triton remained focus on his opponent waiting to see what his foe will do now that they stood so close together. Triton was sure the man will be running out of shots soon, while Triton still had 6 more shots left in his own gun. The battle was close to being down and he was going to make sure he comes out on top.

"Reminded of our place, I left the force long ago, and I will be damned if I would let it control me any longer. I chose free will and plan to do what I want, you may like being a pawn to both the Sith and Force, but there are some willing to do fight for freedom, and sadly for you I am one of those people." Triton stared at the man, his lightsaber horizontal in front of the sector ranger, while the pistol was pointed straight at the Sith.

"So tell me do you feel lucky?" Triton would wait and act accordingly to whatever the Sith does next, ready for the battle to continue.
