[SKIRMISH] Rematch on Tanaab

[The Shiznit]

Kadlen's attack was easily blocked by the large dog just as he expect it would have been. The difference in his plan was the ferocity the Jedi gave off as he quickly used his size to muscle Kadlen in the path of the droid Sith charging at them. Thinking fast Kadlen jumped up using the force to propel the jump higher than most normal people could jump. Tucking in his feet Kadlen hoped to avoid the charging Sith's lightsaber that was heading for his exposed back by preforming a back flip over the Sith.

Landing on his feet Kadlen took a few steps back assessing the situation. This Jedi showed a darkness deep inside him, an animalistic instinct that was often suppressed but it now shone true in the beast's eyes. Kadlen would try to bring it out of the beast, letting the beasts intensity grow as he battled on with the young Sith. Taking another step back Kadlen stood there staring at the Jedi waiting for him to make a move, and a mistake that he could capitalize on. The holocron will be his, defeat was unacceptable, and the thought of failing brought anger to Kadlen that slowly began to build up and take over.

The Jedi had used the Force to block the attack, though with the illusions, had resulted in more energy than probably required. The swordsman backed up, which concerned Vhalanestilliegan. The immediate charge with a lightsaber suggested the Jedi was likely more proficient with it, more so than with the Force. If he was backing up, it meant that he was getting ready for an attack.

Arcturus attacked the Jedi. The Twi'lek decided to seize the opportunity provided by his fellow Sith to unleash Drain Life upon the Jedi. He would continue it, even if blocked, as even if it were stopped, it could provide a distraction for Arcturus to get in some attacks in on the Jedi, who would be preoccupied with Vhalanestilliegan's Drain Life, which was being done through both of his hands, which would make it even more difficult to outmaneuver.

Vhalanestilliegan hoped that their attacks would allow them to incapacitate the Jedi, so they could capture him. Fallen Jedi were a delicious spice to set upon the Jedi Order. After, what's worse than having comrades slain by the enemy is having comrades become the enemy.

Kaiburr's momentum would have run himself right into the Shistavanen's lightsaber, but he jumped just in time, swiping with his lightsabers at the Shistavanen. He had jumped too high, though, and the best he would do would be nick the Jedi's wolf-like ears. It flatly said, "Shistavanen. Male. Surrender and I might spare you."

 

[Black Noise]

Tach, ready with his gathered energy, suddenly shoved out in a power he had mastered, Telekinesis. He sent a massive, unstoppable wave of energy at the acolyte, aimed to catch him up and throw him into the Twi'lek. The telekinetic outburst was so great it shredded trees near it asunder and through. Surely, if the acolyte were not wearing armor, it would've shredded right through his skin.

Tach then, in one smooth movement, sheathed his blade and used whatever little power he had left to transfer Tutaminis to his hands. He did not have nearly enough strength to stop the Twi'lek if his attack of Drain Life hit him full on. However, he had enough to block it for the few necessary seconds that it would hit him before the acolyte smashed into the Sith. At least, that is what Tach hoped for. Because if the acolyte, by some miracle of God, avoided hitting his ally, then Tach would succumb to the Drain Life.

 

[Mr. Teatime]

At some point during his flurry of attacks, his Jedi opponent began to gather power. Luckily, Arcturus could See the power being gathered through the force as he did everything else, and prepare for it. Unfortunately however, his options were limited while he kept the Battle Meditation active in order to help prevent the other two acolytes from ending up dead or something. He could See Vhal beginning to use Drain Life. Whatever it was seemed to be aimed at me, so he did the only thing he could think of... He leapt right, hoping to throw off the aim of the attack he could not fully deflect. Suddenly he was launched backwards, limps spread out to make sure he got lift. Up and away he went, careening towards Vhal. Through battle meditation, he warned him, activating his armor's drop shield shortly before he slammed into the ground, protecting him from harm. Luckily, he had missed Vhal by a few inches, but the initial impact of the Force Wave had winded him, and probably broken a rib or two. He was taking a moment to recover.

 

[Nevermourn]

His eyes tracked the movement of the first padawan and...he frowned slightly. He wasn't fighting a padawan, he was fighting an acolyte, wasn't he? His saber faded from red to blue and he stared at Kadlen with a confused expression. The other acolyte, who he had expected to slam into his saber, had somehow lept out of the way, or more like lept over him. His ear tips grew hot as the saber drew a little to close and Tsume gave a growl, recovering from his momentary loss of concentration. "Alphas never surrender." He growled in a feral tone, swiping for the acolyte as he landed, his blue lightsaber arching through the air toward Kaiburr's ribs. "Maybe you should take your own advice."

 

[The Shiznit]

Kadlen watched as the other Sith offered the Jedi a chance at escaping harm which was in turn shot down quickly as the beast lashed out at the droid. Kadlen laughed silently to himself at the request from both sides to surrender knowing beforehand that neither side would oblige to the others request not only on principle, but on the fact that the Jedi could not truly trust the Sith and that the other Sith would kill the droid if he decided to surrender. Although Kadlen was hoping for the Jedi to attack him, he chose the droid instead which called for a new plan of attack. Running towards Tsume's back Kadlen brought his ligthsaber down in a slash at the beast's right shoulder, then bringing it back up and then down in another slash at his left shoulder, and then dropping to the ground quickly and spinning in a circle hoping to chop Tsume's legs off. If each blow landed Tsume would fall to the ground in three pieces his head and neck area, his torso, and then his legs. With added distractions from the other Sith it would be hard for Tsume to block all the attacks from both of them.

 

[Dmitri]

Vhalanestilliegan's Drain Life was met by Tach's Tutaminis. The Twi'lek continued to do so, hoping to drain Tach of his energy. Even if Drain Life failed to absorb Tach's energy, Tach's defense would take its toll on the Jedi.

Tach made a foolish mistake. Rather than just striking Arcturus, the Jedi should have gone after the Twi'lek as well. The Jedi appeared to have attempted to throw the other Sith at Vhalanestilliegan. Through the Force, Arcturus managed to forewarn his comrade. As such, without breaking Drain Life that was battering Tach, Vhalanestilliegan sidestepped away from the flying Sith, barely missing him by inches.

Vhalanestilliegan was tempted to search for Arcturus to examine the Sith's condition, but doing so would break his concentration against Tach. However, Tach's presence in the Force could be felt so he knew the Sith was at least alive. Thus, Vhalanestilliegan continued his Drain Life.

 

[Black Noise]

Tach, seeing his attack against the second Sith fail, put all he had into Tutaminis and charging at the Twi'lek. However, his strength did not hold, and a few feet from the Twi'lek his Tutaminis fully failed him. Collapsing to the ground, Tach gritted his teeth as the Drain Life sucked away at him. The pain was excruciating, yet he endured and did not die.

However, he would be able to take much more under such a strong and sustained funnel of Drain Life.

 

[Dmitri]

Vhalanestilliegan continued the Drain Life until the Jedi passed out. The Sith tied up Tach. The Twi'lek barked an order at Arcturus, "Get off your sorry hide and take this Jedi to the ship. I have to help those sorry excuses of classmates of yours."

Vhalanestilliegan turned his attention towards the remaining Sith and Jedi skirmish. They were going all out. Despite it being two against one, the Jedi was standing his ground.

"Then we'll have to prove you're no Alpha," said Vhalanestilliegan. Vhalanestilliegan used telekinesis with the intent of picking up the Jedi. "Remove his limbs. He won't need them. But keep him alive. Fallen Jedi are better than dead Jedi."

 

[Nevermourn]

Tsume gave the slightest twitch of his ear at the sound of the second acolyte racing toward him. He broke from the first and sidestepped to avoid the first critical blow the acolyte gave, his massive form rising to it's full height to establish a sense of authority over the sith. He brought his saber up with seconds to spare, pushing back as he parried to dig away at the acolyte's strength, knowing his own stamina would hold. Shistavanen's had massive reserves of stamina that made them adepts at speedy attacks as well as powerful ones, thanks to their massive size and weight. As the acolyte dove for his legs, the knight lept, propelling himself high into the air to avoid the attack and spun on one foot as he landed behind the sith, going in for a fatal attack, he swung his saber with lightning speed toward the acolyte's neck, only to growl with fury when his limbs didn't comply correctly. The force pushed against him, and he he pushed back with all the strength he had, reaching into the deepest, darkest reaches of his head to come out with one massive force push that he sent rolling out in all directions, flattening the trees and foliage and stirring up a massive dust cloud as the wave tore through the undergrowth. Of course, there was always the chance the sith could protect themselves with a powerful force power themselves, even another force push to cut a wedge through his own in order to protect themselves, but they woukd need to use most of their power researves for that, and that was just what he was hoping for. Physically and mentally drained by his strength spent in the powerful attack, Tsume willed his legs to move and retreated toward the ship while the dust cloud thickened. It wouldn't be long before it dispersed. Tach would have to care for himself, Tsume was hopelessly outmatched and outnumbered. There was no way to win this fight, and he was mature enough to know that sometimes the best thing to do was to retreat. Let the sith have their holocron, the jedi wouldn't give up without a decent fight.

 

[Mr. Teatime]

Arcturus was already on his feet and standing by the time Vhal took down the jedi they had been fighting. His suit cheerfully informed him of several cracked bones, mostly ribs, from the initial impact. He could have healed himself if he wasn't using Battle Meditation, but he could deal with pain. He straightened with a small grimace and walked over to the unconscious jedi, hefting him over his shoulder with another grimace, and activated his armor's internal comm to the ship. Pilot, bring the ship to my location. We've secured the artifact. Tell the crew to prepare the prison cells for a Jedi. At the ship was already in standby, it took off and began to head to their position, which would take a few minutes. While he wasn't able to join the fight in the distance, he could still sense what was going on. He was only able to warn the acolytes and Vhal of the wave through the meditation before it exploded outwards. Ah well, hopefully they'd be fine. The ship should be there soon.

 

[The Shiznit]

Kadlen's first attacked missed as the large Jedi quickly side stepped him, his second blow was blocked easily as he assumed it would be, and the third was jumped over. It was an unexpected turn of events as Kadlen thought the other Sith could distract the Jedi and allow him to land the blow, but that is when things made another crazy turn. The Jedi let out a huge force wave crashing into Kadlen and sending him flying though the air and crashing down to the ground like a bag of rocks. It hurt, hurt bad, but the pain was only temporary and Kadlen could not allow for the Jedi to take a Sith out of the equation making it a fair fight. Pulling himself up from the ground Kadlen turned around to see bushes rustling over in the distance, a clear sign that someone, most likely the Jedi, had taken off and ran.

As the dust clear Kadlen assessed the situation. The large Jedi was gone, and the other Jedi was tied up and being watched by Arcturus. So the Crusader and acolyte had disabled the first Jedi and then the Crusader attacked our Jedi which caused him to make a distraction and try to flee. Classic. Kadlen almost produced a laugh, but this was no laughing matter. Sure they won but he did not prove himself to anyone in the group, and it was his pair that had not won the fight first. Turning towards the holocron, which now lay on the floor abandoned by the Jedi, Kadlen began walking towards it ignoring the pain in his right leg as he stepped. That holocron would be in his hand no matter what any of them said. They could have the Jedi captive or pursue the other one in an effort to capture him if they wanted. Jedi were better prizes than holocrons no?

 

[Crim]

A powerful swing with a lightsaber came arcing towards his central chassis. Kaiburr quickly pivoted his wrist servo, picking up Force that would knock the other lightsaber back. As the acolyte recovered, a massive shockwave was sent towards the acolytes. Kaiburr lashed out with a powerful Force blast, keeping him from completely flying back, though he was pushed back a little. Kaiburr began to run at the Jedi, but it began to retreat.

Kaibur's core glowed red out of anger for such cowardice, but it was an unwinnable fight for the Jedi... "Alphas never surrender, huh?" he said sarcastically. He spun around and walked toward the holocron.
