Return to battle! Escape from Jakku.

Jedi Manjusri · Dec 25, 2017

Jakku; Dawn
His ship had crash landed onto the surface of the planet, ruining the remnants of whatever you could call his hunk of junk. With most likely a broken hand, and only his lightsaber and the force by his side; Manjusri the Consular made his way to a nearby refueling center.
An old man makes his way around a bazaar on the forgotten planet, his feet making prints in the sediments under his boots. All he wants is a way off of this dirty rock and back into the fray against the exiles of the force, as his tactical mind was being wasted in the sand. It also didn't help that goons from the Hutt Cartel were tracking him down, trying to capture and eventually interrogate him for priceless information on the Jedi order; War does sell.
When making his way through the market, he found himself quite lost, the sea of various alien races swaying him from one edge of it to the other. He was hoping to find someone with a ship willing to take him off of this hunk of junk, and soon, or else he had feared the worst.

Vin · Dec 25, 2017

Ever since she had left had left Onderon Vin had found herself being thrown into one crazy scenario after another. Slavers, kath hounds, dark side taints, it seemed like the life of a Jedi was nothing but constant peril. That or she had the unfortunate gift of attracting trouble wherever she went. But regardless of how she had ended up in those situations, she had to prepare herself for the next time she found herself in another one of her jams. The first step in that was finally building a lightsaber for herself.

That was why she was here, on Jakku of all places. Cyber crystals were hard to come by ever since Tython was lost, and the Jedi simply did not have enough for everyone. She had been waiting for weeks, following one lead after another, all in the hopes of obtaining the final element she needed to build her lightsaber. Finally some helpful old crone in the library had told her to try the junkers on Jakku, who often into possession of things they did not know the real value off. SO here she was, trying to find a cyber crystal in a gigantic pile of garbage.

Even for you this is a new low mistress. I knew the Jedi had no honor, but I did not know that they lacked self respect as well. To come here of all places.

She whacked the droid to shut him up, which only resulted in a sharp pain in her hand. Why don't you shout it out huh? Proclaim to everyone that I'm a Jedi. Just keep quiet and let me work.

Shaking her head in frustration, she started making her way towards the markets, hoping no-one had heard the droid's outburst. Being a Jedi wasn't very safe in most parts of the Galaxy these days.

Jedi Manjusri · Dec 25, 2017

His eyes almost immediately lit up. A Jedi? Here of all places? He thought to himself. But this was not the time for questions. This was the time for actions.
He swiftly made his way around the back end of the market place to find the woman. When finally meeting her walking path, he swiftly pulled her into a nearby alley, and perched his hood up as to not draw suspicion to himself. He quickly shown his light saber, if only for even a moment.
He whispered under his breath "I overheard the end of your conversation with that droid. What's your name? and what could possibly be the reason for you to be on this planet? There is nothing for our religion here."
His eyes darted from one entrance to the alley to the next, goons and bounty hunters could be on him at any moment. If anything at all, he didn't want to drag this young knight into a problem that she wasn't in to begin with.

Jon Reukli · Dec 25, 2017

Jon had come to Jakku to ensure a fellow Jedi who hadn't finish her own lightsaber and considering which planet she decided to go to Jon figured better to play it safe. So putting on his scout armor and his pistol, Jon was doing his best to blend in. Standing just a few meters from Vin, he was trying to look busy while at the market. His lightsaber was hidden in his outfit so no one could really find it, better that way.

Yet Jon had wish Vin had left that droid someplace else, bringing it here would only cause more problem's. Especially if it decided to say something that would only reveal who they were. Sure the likelihood of that happening isn't the highest but it was still a worry. Of course though looking at some strange looking device pretending to understand what it does the shop owner was doing her best to sell it off to Jon.

"I see you have a good eyes, now that would help you keep those droids running smoothly. Got a bad motivator, just put that in, got a bad CPU put that in and the thing will be back up at no time. Now I would let you try it out but it will cost you a small price." Jon was sure this thing was just a bunch of metal just slapped together but he wanted to see where this was going.

"What's the price for such a awesome item?" Jon looked inquisitively to the lively old lady, who clearly had been in the desert to long.

"Oh just to see how well it works just 5 credits. Now if we are talking about buying it, you going to have to pay 100 credits. Now I know what you thinking." She clearly didn't know what Jon was thinking.

"Is it able to do everything this old lady is saying it can. I am willing to bet you my leg, the cybernetic one. That it can do what I am saying and more." Jon looked a bit over the stand to see she wasn't lying her right leg was just a metal stick, less a cybernetic leg and more a walking stick stuck on her leg.

"But clearly there most be some limitation to such a thing? Can it also fix ship problems too?" Jon knew the answer but felt better hearing it.

"Ship? I- Yes of course it can but like I said you need to pay to see that. So what it going to be pretty boy?" Smiling Jon just place down a 5 credit stick on the table and walked away sadden he probably couldn't do more for the old lady who clearly was desperate.

But seeing the fact Vin had company Jon tried to stick in the crowd before going out just to see what happened. Would he need to go towards Vin for backup or would she be fine on her own? Jon already saw her fighting prowess she might be green but she knows how to still kick butt, probably like 5 times better then Jon.

Mikhail · Dec 25, 2017

Mikhail had been dispatched to Jakku in order to investigate rumors of Kyber Crystals on the planet's surface and to recover them for the Exiled Jedi if those rumors proved true. He had come dressed in his Exile Inquisition Robes, his lightsaber, stun blaster, a datapad, and a comm link in order to report back to the Lord who had dispatched him. So far, the rumors had proven to be false and Mikhail was about to return to his vessel empty handed when his communication device began to chime, signalling an incoming call.

"Apprentice Volkov, our spies on the planet of Jakku have began to report that there is a Jedi presence. There is multiple confirmations of a conversation between a young woman and her droid speaking of an unknown Jedi, they also confirm that she revealed her identity as one as well. Finally, our spies have sent us reports of a young man flashing his lightsaber to the previously mentioned young woman."

"And what are my orders?" Mikhail replied passively.

"You are to go to this village, there you will meet with two more of our agents. The three of you are to identify these Jedi, engage them, and eliminate them. Encrypted coordinates are being transmitted to your datapad now." Came the swift reply.

"Understood." Mikhail stated, his hand quickly tightening into a clenched fist before disconnecting the line.

Mikhail made his way back towards his rented speeder bike and and revved the vehicle to life before tearing off in the direction of the Jedi's last known coordinates. Mikhail had been trained for this, and despite his growing anxiousness, today would be his first contact with the tyrannical Jedi.

@LeavingOrbit @Dread

Siris Drast · Dec 25, 2017

Siris remained in the orbit of Jakku, seated on one of the various public seats that were open. It seemed that business wasn't to great for the old twi'lek pilot. The pilot's transport started to malfunction on his way to one of the nearby planets, it's fuel starting to leak. The twi'lek not being able to fix it from out here, sort of growled in frustration before beginning to place the loose panels back and tied the wires together in hope to find a way to save some fuel. He stood up from his prone position before dusting off his clothes and exiting the cockpit. The twi'lek moved through the medium sized ship swiftly before he reached Siris so he could be informed, "Seems like were gonna have to land on Jakku. I'll try to find parts as quickly as I can, it can't be to hard to find on this planet."

The ship rumbled through the atmosphere for a couple of seconds until it broke through and smoothed out evenly. The twi'lek pilot scanned the surrounding area before being able to ping on a village. As the ship started to descend, Siris's comm began to ring. He activated the com-link in his helmet, wondering what the message was. A female voice erupted from the com-link and gave him the following message, " Apprentice Siris, our spies on the planet of Jakku have began to report that there is a Jedi presence. There is multiple confirmations of a conversation between a young woman and her droid speaking of an unknown Jedi, they also confirm that she revealed her identity as one as well. Finally, our spies have sent us reports of a young man flashing his lightsaber to the previously mentioned young woman." Siris listened to the rest of the message of her informing him that two more agents were being pulled for the task as well. He deactivated the com-link and squeezed the inside of his hands, anticipation flowed through his veins.

When the transport beached in one of the open hangers. Siris stepped out from the ship before finally checking the secured coordinates of where the jedi were last seen. Luck on Siris's side, he seemed to land in the village that mirrored the same coordinates as he received. He focused on the force around him, and reaching out to the area that neighbored him. It did not take long before Siris found the general presence of the jedi some distance away. Siris hid his presence instantly, he didn't want the Jedi to know about him yet. He turned toward where he felt it and began to walk.

Demolly Guillaume · Dec 26, 2017

[x]

Demolly's head snapped around, her eyes filled with excitement and hunger as she prowled towards the Jedi's last known location. Power began to well within her body, eagerly building for the upcoming conflict. She could taste it in the fresh jungle air—oh, so deliciously fresh—and feel it in her bones.

This was one order she was happy to follow.

Today her skills would be put to the test, and this time, it would be against more than her fellow exiles. The threat was real. Death was a possibly. The stakes were high and that intoxicated her.

Her shoulders rolled back before she grabbed both her lightsabers from her belt. Igniting her left crimson blade with a snap-hiss while leaving the other unignited and hovering to her side.

Jedi Manjusri · Dec 27, 2017

Manjusri ruffled with his long, grizzled beard. He knew something was fishy the moment that he showed her the light saber. People were whispering, it was already too late. If it wasn't bad enough that he was being chased by the Hutt Cartel, now something else was coming.
He could sense the presence of evil in the air, the aroma of bloodlust filling the marketplace of Jakku. He looked immediately at the young Jedi: He knew that she could sense it too.
"We should leave. Now." He said in an urgent voice. Although his mind was in its peak performance, his body was quite far behind. Quickly using the force, he engulfed his own presence in secrecy.
"We should go where there are the most people. It would be harder for them to spot us there. They only know our general location, not exact coordinates. If we can make it to the crowd, and hide our presence well enough, I doubt they'll be able to find us with ease."
He grabbed the unkown jedi by the hand before running out of the alley and into the large crowd of people.
He still didn't even know her name.

Vin · Dec 27, 2017

Waaaaah?! An incoherent excalamation escaped Vin's lips as she was suddenly grasped and pulled into an alley. She was about to react when the man who had pulled her started speaking.

Uhhh.. Was all she could respond with as she tried to process what he said and push down on the shame she felt at being walked up on so easily and the way she had reacted. It was at times like this that her lack of experience really showed, she had let her guard down while bickering with KR3CH and hadn't even noticed someone sneaking up on her. Some Jedi she was!

She was finally about to respond to the older Jedi when he got all tense. Already feeling sheepish about having been surprised once, she was keeping a more sharp eye out for surprises, both mundane and within the Force, so she sensed the source of the old man's reaction almost immediately.

Letting herself be dragged away by the older Jedi, she focused on the Force to confirm what she had sensed. Exiles, she was sure of it now. Somehow, on this god forsaken, overgrown garden of a world, she had stumbled upon Exiles. Just her luck.

She looked back as she was dragged along, keeping an eye out for KR3CH and Jon, if it did come to a fight they had a better chance of getting out of this if they worked together. But just on the off chance that they could avoid a fight, she tried to diminish her presence in the Force, hoping to deprive the Exiles of an easy means to track them. And on top of all that, in all the confusion, she hadn't even had a chance to introduce herself or find out who the bearded man was!

Jon Reukli · Dec 27, 2017

Jon could feel it, the anger and darkness closing in clearly something is about to happen. He could feel the people coming towards them usually the Jedi would try not to fight. But he wasn't sure which way he could go, he sensed darkness to his left towards the fueling station. But that disappeared so maybe he shouldn't go that route. But the darkest sense came down from the south, it caused a bad taste in his mouth. Like burnt toast. Truly a horrific taste, who liked that anyways.

Shaking his head Jon focus on the taste at hand, seeing the old man and Vin try to blend in to the crowd Jon was going to join him. If it wasn't for the fact he heard crying and screaming coming from the southern part of the trading post. Now Jon could feel why and see it, someone was walking into town with a red lightsaber out. Exiles. Guess Jon couldn't just leave now while these people became targets of the exiles, sure the town was 30 meters from end to end. But Jon could go to the end of the southern path and yell out to start getting people to walk away.

"Exiles are here Exiles are here." The response was quick people began to fan out, which was already happening in the southern path which allowed Jon to start at the female exile that was walking towards down.

She was still a bit away from it, Jon would assume about 25 meters away from him. Giving him plenty of distance, seeing no one else coming towards him Jon took out his pistol aiming for the woman, his right hand firmly gripping the weapon ready to fire. While his left hand called his lightsaber that was in his pants pocket. Igniting the green blade Jon stood ready to fight, the path way was clear.

Though the southern path had a lot of small shops, most selling small fruits. Others glasses full of water, which stood in the middle of the southern path, one shop even sold poncho's large enough to fit a speeder. But that was at the edge of the trading post, which was completely empty by now. Jon wasn't sure about sending a bolt at the Exile just yet keeping his eyes open for the other two dark presences he felt. He didn't want to get caught by surprise. Thankfully though the crowd was heading in the direction of Vin, and that other dude which should make it harder for those two to get spotted.

Mikhail · Dec 27, 2017

Mikhail was fast approaching the town when he felt two of the three signatures vanish into nothingness, his eyes narrowed at this development. Disgust at the Jedi's cowardice flooded every inch of Mikhail's body he was determined that these Jedi wouldn't escape his grasp. Failure to achieve victory wouldn't be tolerated, Mikhail both knew that fact and feared the repercussions of it.

As Mikhail was about to enter the town through the eastern route, he saw the crowds beginning to rush towards the northern exit. Mikhail fell back on the training from his family, the crowd is always the first place to hide from an enemy; but only if you don't care to jeopardize their safety or your enemy cares too much to indiscriminately kill them. There was a brief moment of mental hesitation, a moral dilemma before Mikhail angled his speeder bike towards the fleeing crowd and pushed himself from the seat.

Mikhail landed on his feet, just on the cusp of the circular market place, he didn't see the damage his speeder bike had caused to the crowd but he felt the explosion and could see several bodies laying prone in it's wake. Regret pounded in his chest for the briefest of moments before he drew his lightsaber from his belt and snatched a passing teenager by the back of his hair and jerked the young adult towards him.

"You!" Mikhail called as he kicked the knees out from underneath the boy. "Drop those damned weapons!" He continued as he pointed the hilt of his saber towards Jon. "And tell your friends to stop hiding or all of these people die." He spat in feigned viciousness as the hilt of his lightsaber dropped towards his hostage. "Starting with him." Mikhail warned as the orange blade of his lightsaber hissed to life, extending dangerously close to the young man's exposed throat.

Internally, Mikhail hoped the Jedi wouldn't force his hand by believing this was simply a bluff. He didn't want to harm this young man but if the Jedi abandoned these people, he would kill every single one of these people. Just to make the Jedi feel their last moments.

As Mikhail held the teen by his hair in front of him, lightsaber to prepared to carve through his neck, his eyes constantly flickered between Jon and the fleeing crowd. He was completely prepared to execute his hostage should the Jedi refuse to heed his commands, or should they attempt to rush his position, or should the fool with the blaster turn to open fire on him. There would be no clean escape, it was either protect these people from the Wrath of the Exiles or be the cause of their demise.

Siris Drast · Dec 28, 2017

Siris sauntered towards the market square, blending in with the crowds as he had only his hood up and cloaked wrapped around him.
Siris felt one of the presences of the jedi seemingly disappear, revealing to Siris that he cloaked himself and most likely knew about the exiles that swarmed their position. Siris wanted to take the smart approach, blend in with the crowds, close the distance on the Jedi before striking from the shadows. It would be a clean hit to the order and let the exiles go in and out quickly.

But that all changed when Siris heard the screams of market goers as they rushed away from the south entrance, yelling about how exiles are attacking the village. He figured that would be one of the exiles, advancing towards the market square. Before Siris could fully register that, he heard the sound of a speeder before the crash of it with an explosion following afterward. He turned his gaze toward the east road, now having spotted another exile but this one using a hostage to draw out the jedi. Even though it seemed the element of surprise was completely out the window, the hostage was a smart idea to keep the jedi contained in the village.

Since Siris was on the west road that lead to the ships, he halted his advance at the middle of the road where the first two parallel shops ended. Even though the majority of the massive crowd ran north, others begun to flee down the west road. The wave of people descending on Siris split in two as they ran past him, seeing the double bladed lightsaber hilt he gripped in his hand. He was prepared for the jedi to try to flee this way and from where Siris stood, he could see the jedi if they tried to escape to the ships. Siris was ready for this battle to begin.

Demolly Guillaume · Dec 28, 2017

The Jedi made two mistakes in a row. As the Force she had gathered flowed through her body vigorously, and Jon was the only—at least the very closest—target in her eyes, both mistakes stood out like sore thumbs.

First mistake, he did not fire for some unknown reason. Did the Jedi have some sort of plan or was he just an idiot? While he raised his blaster and pointed at her, Demolly raised her hand with her unignited saber at the same time. Positioning it so if the blade ignited it would be level in front of her, guarding her.

The second mistake was clearly summoning his saber to his hand; as his saber leaped from his pocket she grabbed hold of it firmly with the Force she had been gathering, and ignited it instantly so it would pierce through his side, into his ribcage, in order to kill him. As he was mid action, his focus was split between her and the other two Exiles, and grabbing his saber would come as a surprise, it would surprise her if he did not die.

Jedi Manjusri · Dec 28, 2017

Manjusri had a choice.
Give himself up to the exiles, and have a duel in 3 on 3 combat, or escape and let all of these people die. He thought the answer couldn't be more clear.
Reaching for the light saber in his cowl pocket, he ignited it to release a spark of dark jade energy, powered by the strength of the Kyber crystal within.
"We're right here. Let all of these people escape, we are the ones you have quarrel with."
Manjusri removed the hood of his robe to reveal his long, flowing grey hair, his voice boomed across the entire market place on Jakku.
He hadn't known who the boy with the blaster was yet, but he knew he was a jedi. Not by name, or by sensing his energy, but by his courage, and willing to stand up to an innately scary thing. Aiming a blaster at an exile running full force at you, with the aura of evil around them is no easy task, and he was quite impressed.
It was now up to the unnamed exile, now that he had known where the hiding jedi were, would he still execute the boy? Or did he still have some remnants of the Jedi's moral compass lingering in his brain.

@Wit @Richie B.

Vin · Dec 28, 2017

Vin stopped as Jon started shouting out his warning, taking a few tentative steps towards him and discretely pulling out her blaster as the crowd started running around. That was when she noticed the woman, a crimson blade lit by her side. Jon already had a blaster pointed at her, but he hadn't fired a shot. He was waiting for something, though what she was not sure of. Well she was not going to wait. She still recalled what the slavers had done, and if what she had heard and seen was anything to go by these Exiles were worse. She had to do something to stop them before she was forced to relive the horrors of that day.

Vin observed the Exile, as she raised her unlit blade in front of her, noticed how her attention seemed to be on Jon. And that was her opening. With the Exile's attention on Jon, and Vin having kept her presence hidden in the Force, she hoped that the Exile would not have noticed her. She was after all one little girl in ragged clothing, just another face in the crowd, and as such the Exile would have no way of knowing she was a Jedi. There were people running around, some frozen in place, she was just one among the crowd. Besides, she wondered if the Exile had some sort of history with Jon, so focused was she on the hairy Jedi. So while her attention was so occupied, Vin acted.

Raising her blaster, she let out one shot after another, aimed straight at the Exile's crotch. She could see her armor, so she aimed for where the armor did not protect her. A total of six shots went flying for the Exile's body, and with the short distance between them and her attention so focused on Jon, Vin was sure they would land. She was relying on the sudden nature of the attack, the speed with which the blaster bolts would fly to the Exile giving her almost no time to react, and her preoccupation with Jon to give the Exile, to all work against the Exile. She should have almost no time to react, much less deflect or dodge them.

Jon Reukli · Dec 28, 2017

Jon watched the Exile get closer, igniting the lightsaber the fear of battle started to hit the Jedi. Still the force was with him and the light beat down that fear. Even this Exile full of hate and the burning sense of anger almost like a oven set to Mustafar while a piece of bread was in it. Still feeling her reaching out with the force, igniting his own lightsaber Jon should have died, if it wasn't for the fact that the blade was pointing down. Towards the ground when Jon called it into his hand. Still she was trying to battle control of the lightsaber from Jon, while the Jedi had already had a grip on it with his own powers of the force.

Any movement she made to change it's direction would be stopped by Jon's own powers, which should be a match for the Exile's regardless. But while most of Jon's focus was on keeping the lightsaber from moving with the force, the Jedi let out only two bolts from his pistol. Aiming a bit low but would hit the thighs of the Exile, one for each of her thighs.

Still it wasn't as if Jon wasn't aware of what is going on but his full attention was on the Exile trying to kill him. So it wasn't as if he was distracted by the other Exile's threats. It did bother Jon but he trusted the force, he trusted his fellow Jedi and he trusted that the light will always win. Still grabbing hold of the lightsaber hilt Jon was focusing most of his energy in keeping it still from the Exile, using both his hand and the force. Though he doubted he had to hold it for long as both Jon's and apparently Vin's bolt came flying at the lone Exile. Her concentration on the lightsaber would slow down her reaction, but the biggest problem was simply be defending two different attacks. Still Jon was ready to defend if the Exile got closer didn't want to let her get close to anyone else and hurt other people.

It wasn't as if Jon forgotten about the hostage but more importantly it was that Jon had more then just one purpose here, defend the people. But also stop these Exiles from hurting more people across the galaxy. And though Jon wasn't willing to let anyone die here, Jon was well aware that the Exile holding the hostage seemed hesitant if he truly meant to threaten the Jedi. Kill the hostage he had as a example then grab another. Hopefully that meant that one particular Exile would be willing to not hurt strangers in a fight. Still Jon was going to have to react before doing anything he couldn't risk leaving himself wide open when there are more then one enemy. Hopefully miss flaming Sourdough didn't try anything else and simply ran off.

Mikhail · Dec 28, 2017

A deep jade colored blade sparked to life and caught Mikhail's attention, so at least one of the Jedi wasn't a coward. Mikhail hesitated internally for a moment, even as his grasp on the boy's head was relinquished. He couldn't help but wonder if this was all some massive deception on the Jedi's part.

The boy got up from his knees and bolted away from Mikhail, tears streaming as he sprinted in the same direction the crowd had gone to. Part of Mikhail was glad that he wouldn't be forced to shed innocent blood, but this brief sense of joy was shattered when movement caught his eye. He didn't react at first, instead his eyes followed her as she cleared the crowd. The sound of blaster fire erupted four times before Mikhail could even react to her extended arm.

Mikhail was too shocked to move for the first through the third shot, he couldn't believe that these two jedi would be willing to sacrifice an innocent. That shock quickly turned to outrage as he realized what the Jedi truly were, monsters just like him. As that forth shot rang out, Mikhail reached out and through the Dark Side grasped the woman's wrist, with her focus placed solely on what he assumed was his partner it was highly improbable that she would have time to react to the sudden jerk he administered. The pull would likely disrupt not only her aim but her footing as well, the unexpectedness of the jerk amplifying the force of the action against her.

The final two shots would assuredly miss his partner and given his position in accordance to the female Jedi, it was likely that they would strike her partner in the back. The man would have less then a second to realize the sudden danger he was placed in before the two blaster bolts threatened to strike him in the shoulder and back respectively.

After disrupting the female Jedi and hopefully wounding her male partner, Mikhail charged forward hoping to catch the Jedi off-guard before she could regain her footing. His lightsaber was held in an angled and defensive manner across his torso which would allow him to deflect any blaster bolts that could be sent in his direction once his target recovered. Upon entering striking range, Mikhail would angle the tip of his blade toward's his target's mid section and thrust, hoping to impale the woman on his orange blade.

With only a blaster in her hand, it was unlikely that she could recover her footing and defend herself from the stab. On top of that, her partner couldn't turn to defend her without taking the twin blasts to his body. She would be separated from safety and cornered like a womp rat in a trap.

As he thrusted inward towards the woman's torso he felt nothing but disgust and spite at what she had attempted to turn him into through her actions. She was no different then the marauders within the Exiles, just another twisted creature thirsting for death. He would be the death of her, he would be the death of them all.

Siris Drast · Dec 29, 2017

The opportunity seemed too perfect but there it was directly in front of Siris. With his presence completely suppressed, none of the Jedi noticed him standing directly behind them, hidden amongst the fleeing crowd. With his lightsaber staff in his hand and still inactive, there would be no noise as Siris scanned for the Jedi. That was when the sudden flash of green occurred, pinpointing one of the Jedi's exact position and Siris honed in on his prey, slithering silently through the crowd towards his target.

Initially, Siris wasn't aware of where the other two Jedi were but the sound of blaster fire alerted him to their exact positioning and with that knowledge he was cleared to strike. The other two jedi seemed to have their attention on the exile from the south road. As Siris closed the distance he prepared to thrust upwards and into the back of the older Jedi, who had removed his hood and began shouting at Mikhail. Siris's lightsaber wouldn't ignite at the start of the thrust, instead he would wait to activate it until midway through the action, ensuring the blade would immediately penetrate the elder Jedi's body.

With his target's focus solely on Mikhail, Siris's presence suppressed and his silent approach it was highly unlikely that the Jedi would become aware of the threat until it was far too late. Siris's crimson blade would snap to life and likely penetrate Manjursi's body, the blade ripping through his lower back and erupting from his chest. With the way Manjursi had his blade positioned in front of him, it seemed impossible for him to have the reaction time to block Siris's back-stab. The Jedi's likely death was because of his and his allies lack of awareness. After this, Siris would then flick his eyes in the direction of remaining jedi, readying his other blade in case of an attack as Mikhail engaged.

Demolly Guillaume · Dec 30, 2017

Demolly shot twice in the pelvis, one directly the other along the side of her hip. She staggers back, and falls to her knees.

Jedi Manjusri · Dec 30, 2017

Manjusri saw the whole string of actions unfold before him, but not before a single thought crossed his mind, an oversight that could have cost him his and his allies lived.

They were fighting a two on three battle at the moment.

That was not the way exiles fought, if anything, they should have an extra three men waiting in the back for their time to strike. Manjusri quickly turned to see a hooded figure running straight at him with a light saber that had not yet been ignited. He calmly collected himself before giving this exile all of attention.

Manjusri was just in range of the exiles attack, but not close enough for it to be of serious concern. He parried the Exiles attack upwards, leaving his whole torso open. Concentrating completely on the task at hand, Manjusri took his right hand off of the saber hilt, and aimed it directly at the enemy in front of himself before using all of his power to push him into a nearby building. He felt the life force of two civilians fade away, that would make three in this battle alone.

If the exile withstood the push, it would knock him off of balance, leaving him open for a counter attack from a light saber. If it was a direct hit and he went flying, it would most certainly leave him winded for a moment.
