[Scorp Jedi Knight]

((OOC: I have a little comp trouble and suddenly everybody posts. ))

 

Scorp polite refused the drink. He had never touched alcohol and he didn't plan to suddenly start.

 

"No I am ok never touch the stuff." Suddenly he could feel himself being cut of from the force as he caught the words life partner.

Ha now that would be funny me getting married.

 

"I think I shall adress your questions as they came.

 

First how did I discover this world. That part was simply. I tracked Padwan Zane and the ion trail of a ship that was full of the living force."

 

Scorp then glanced at Zane becoming a pink Vader. As well as the sudden increase of guards entering and securing the room. He began to calculate fastest way to escape as well as to survive if it came down to him fightning all of the guards with out the force. THe odds weren't too good but he might be able to pull it off.

 

"Let me get this straight, You were the former leader of the whole Sith empire. And one guy showed up and you fled from him under fear of death. So then in order to some how get revenge you capture a padawan and justify the torture and maiming of said padawan as an act to start your revenge.

 

That really is twisted logic. Number one too many things could go wrong with the plan. Instead of a Jedi knight a Jedi Team could have been sent or a Jedi strike force.

 

Number two You had no way of knowing if the Sith your so eager to please would indeed still trust you. After all. The most you have done so far is maim and rebuild a Jedi Padawan. That could easily be seen as in act of hatred and not as a peace offering between you and your fellow Sith.

 

Number three what makes you think I would be so willing to help you? After all simliar we may be we have different goals. Your goal is to gain power you lost and my goal is to tear power away from all things evil and bring peace and justice to the galaxy.

 

So here what brings me to my question.

 

Despite the fact I have no doubt you would turn on me in an instant due to the fact the Sith are known to turn on each other.

 

Despite the fact that in my eyes you are hidding out on a backwater world trying to eagerly please a Sith Lord you hate by tortureing only individuals you know you would have few problems with.

 

And Despite that so far I have yet to see anything to prove that you have any sort of power base short of the guards you have here.

 

What kind of deal are we talking here?"

[Kayla Mhin]

((Zane's actions posted with permission. ))

 

Kayla could only stare in shock as the newly pinkified Zane sang, and then was abruptly shut off by the Emperor, who apparently didn't like his singing all that much. And now, Zane was motioning with his hands to make up for the fact that he no longer had any vocal chords. What he was spelling out with his gestures was Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen...

 

And now, to add to the surprise of seeing a bright pink Vader suit, the Emperor offered to make a deal with Scorp. Kayla looked to Scorp in surprise and listened as he spoke. Would he really do it? Would he really make a deal? She glanced to the Emperor as Scorp asked, "What kind of deal are we talking here?"

 

((Lame post. ))

[Cineon Yahn]

"It's a very simple deal. In exchange for your life and the life of the two padawans, you must bring me the lightsaber of a Jedi Master. That is all. I would like to make Master Ryu think I captured it myself. You get me a lightsaber, I let you and your friends leave unharmed. What do you say?"

[Scorp Jedi Knight]

"Unharmed is a little of an understatment don't you think."

 

Scorp made a few mental notes. He had heard out this Sith Lord and had concluded what he was dealing with.

 

"Interesting you want a Jedi Master's lightsaber in order to strut around saying that you had gotten it yourself."

 

Scorp gave a small chuckle. Before looking at his passenger.

 

"Well Sith Lord let me think about this one for a few seconds."

 

Said Scorp as he seriously thought this over.

[Renin Santur]

In the cloning chamber, worker began to bring up the DNA of Renin Santur or as known as, Darth Caedes. The clonging tube began to boil as the Sith Lord began to grow from child to man. The cloning process only took minutes until he was fully grown. The tube finally opened, releasing the water out to the sides and into the floor drains. Caedes slowly rose his hand and placed it on the side of the tube. His eyes opened, letting the green surrounded pupils be vulnerable to the light. He rose up and stepped out from the tube completely naked and dripping of the clone liquid.

 

He turned towards the Imperial Cloners who rushed to him, presenting his two lightsabers that he ordered to be delivered here before he died and his clothes. The Sith Lord placed his clothes on and wrapped his robe around him. With out saying a word, he stormed out into the halls and wandered around.

 

Two Storm Troopers, followed quickly behind him as he marched through the halls. But then he came to a complete stop. He looked up into the air and took a deep breath.

 

"Sir?", one of the Storm Troopers asked.

 

" I feel a presence.....a presence that I havn't felt since..."

 

The Sith Lord spun on one heel and went through a door which led him into the main hall of the palace. He walked quickly as the troopers jogged behind. Caedes came to the Emperors chambers door, and not knocking, he entered quietly. He then over heard the Emperos conversation with two recognizing Jedi.

 

"It's a very simple deal. In exchange for your life and the life of the two padawans, you must bring me the lightsaber of a Jedi Master. That is all. I would like to make Master Ryu think I captured it myself. You get me a lightsaber, I let you and your friends leave unharmed. What do you say?"

 

"Unharmed is a little of an understatement don't you think."

Scorp made a few mental notes. He had heard out this Sith Lord and had concluded what he was dealing with.

"Interesting you want a Jedi Master's lightsaber in order to strut around saying that you had gotten it yourself." Scorp gave a small chuckle. Before looking at his passenger.

"Well Sith Lord let me think about this one for a few seconds." Said Scorp as he seriously thought this over.

 

Caedes took another step forward showing his presence to every ones eyes.

 

"It's a very simple and acceptable offer."

[Maelstrom]

Darth Morsus stood in the background, behind his master. He ached for combat, and was quite ready to leap into action should they fail to accept the deal. Of course, he would await his master's signal before taking any action. Merely being in the same room as a Jedi he found intolerable, but he understood that the Emporer had his reasons for not immediately killing him.

 

As Renin stated, it was a fair deal, especially considering the Jedi were at a major tactical disadvantage.

[Scorp Jedi Knight]

Scorp took note of the new Sith Lord to eter the room. He looked this one up and down out the corner of his eye. He then took count of how many Sith were in the room.

 

It was as he had noted two Sith apprentices' one seemed to not be trained yet. Followed by two Sith Lords. Hmm If it were to come to battle he could more likley than not handle the Sith Lords. THe one he had been talking to had a few personality weakness but then again all Sith have that problem. As for the newest Sith Lord to join the party If Scorp remembered correctly he had fought that one before. He was pretty sure he had killed him too. Maybe this one was a clone.

 

HE could care less. At the moment none of them could feel the Force so none of them new what he was thinking. Even if one of them ws out side of the yalmari's little bubble they still would be unable to know what he was thinking and that gave him an advantage in a way. Scorp noted where the yalmari was. Therefore the newest Sith could indeed fell the Force. Scorp stood up and turned around looking suprised.

 

He looked at Darth Caedes with mock suprise.

 

He then began laughing.

 

"Oh this is too rich.

 

Let me get this straight, You were the former leader of the whole Sith empire. And one guy showed up and you fled from him under fear of death. So then in order to some how get revenge you capture a padawan and justify the torture and maiming of said padawan as an act to start your revenge.

 

Then you claim you have made a fair deal with me. Despite the fact you bring in a ton of guards due to the fact you are two scared to face a JEdi alone. You apprientce as well as another one it seems. Then to put the Iceing on the cake another Sith lord shows up."

 

Scorp laughed again before talking as if he was talking to a baby.

 

"But this is a fair deal, isn't it oh how cute. We have a power player and a bunch of lackeys."

He stood up before addressing the Sith Lord.

 

"Sith betry people I know it. You apprentice should know it the Sith behind be ought to know it. And I know you know it since after all your whole reveange is one another Sith.

 

But here is what I don't get. You create this horrible plan to bring a Jedi knight only to have him run of and get a Jedi Master's lightsaber. When you could easily just have taken the knights. Mind you now the only way any of you would get my lightsaber would be me runnning it through you of course.

 

You think I am stranded don't you and surrounded by overwhelming odds. But I know a few things you don't. But this is beyond the point.

 

"You give me Zane alive, You will let me and my passenger go, and perhaps I shall go and bring you a Jedi Master's lightsaber. OF course you would have no way of checking if it was a Jedi Master's lightsaber or the current one he or she is using. If I brought you their lightsaber of when they were a padawan you wouldn't be able to tell the difference would you. I think you should let me my passenger and Zane leave.

 

After all you expect me to do this for you but I have no sign of good faith on your part. Not one. All I see is you trying to strong arm me into a deal. Maybe I should ask my passenger. She seems to have more sense then you four."

 

Scorp then turned and looked at Kayla.

 

"What do you think you think we should accept their deal. OR think we should throw it in their faces take Zane and leave? If your not sure just say so."

[Scorp Jedi Knight]

((DIE EVIL DOUBLE POST DIE DIE DIE!!!))

[Cineon Yahn]

Barabbas was enraged by the Jedi's insolence and disrespect. His hate was so potent, the creature in the room keeping the Force at bay winced from the intense hate. It was not able to be sensed through the Force, but you could see the rage in his eyes, you could smell his hate about him. The first thing that could be felt through the Force, was the death of the ysalamiri.

 

"Fool!" Barabbas sent his hand outward, sending Scorp hurling into a wall. The same hand made a clutching movement, using the Force to strangle his guest. "I offer you mercy and you spit it in my face! I give you the chance to save the life of this pathetic padawan and you offer me insults. This Zane creature is my prisoner to do with what I will!" He released his grip on Scorp as he fell to the floor. Stormtroopers cocked their rifles and made aim at Scorp. He could not possibly defend himself from their volley should they attack.

 

Barabbas quickly made his way over to Zane and looked at Scorp, "His blood is on your hands Master Jedi!" He pulled out a Sith sword and ripped the armor away from his front end. He then dug the sword into the abdomen and disembowled the padawan. He then put his hand up through the new hole and shoved his fist through the left lung and ripped his beating heart out from his chest. It was flung onto a silver platter and taken away. "You can return this padawan's body to the Jedi Council," he looked to Renin, "Command these Stormtroopers and make sure they escort Scorp, his life mate, and the evidence to the Jedi's ship." He looked once again at Scorp, "Tell the Jedi Council I said hi... may the Force be with you," he said mockingly and left the room.

[Renin Santur]

Renin stood watching th slaughter of the Jedi padwan. Feeling his presence fade away, the Sith Lord clamped his hands into fists. He turned his head away and looked at his feet. When the Emperor spoke to Renin, all he could do was bow and reply,

 

" Yes sir."

 

He motioned the squad of twenty storm troopers to escort Scorp and Kayla. But Renin was going to be with them and make sure that they wouldnt have the slightest chance of escaping. One of the Storm troopers clamped force field cuffs onto each the Jedi. Ten surrounded them and aimed their heavy repeating blaster towards them and continued to walk in that position. The other ten walked in a circle gaurding around the jedi, out side of the other ten storm troopers. Then Renin stood infront of the whole group.

 

He marched through the halls with the squad and the two jedi following. He led them out of the caslte and through the mountains heading towards the Jedi's ship.

 

" You should of takened the offer. Your lifes and your friends would of been spared."

[Cineon Yahn]

The new Imperial fleet (part of it) entered the Cardia system. The following ships comprised of the fleet:

 

SSD, The Messiah

MC90a, The Golgothan

MC90a, The Revelation

SD, The Nazareth

SD, The Avenger II

Interdictor Cruiser, The Crucifixion

 

They made a defensive permiter outside of the planet that would be adequete to protect the system, and to leave the planet in a moment's notice. The Emperor summoned a few Imperial officers to oversee the construction of a Sith Temple to serve as a new Sith Academy.

[Scorp Jedi Knight]

"Perhaps I should have. Interesting what his reaction was so quick to throw his whole plan out the window. While of course slaughtering the helpless indivudal instead of the one who had insulted him. Very interesting indeed."

 

Scorp paused and reflected. Strange that they were being let go. Scorp looked at Kayla before returning his focus to the back of Renin's head.

 

"You did not seem you wanted to take his orders. Much rather have us killed? Or is it you don't respect him. Whichever one it is it is quite curious I alway sthought the Sith were about power to see who was the strongest but in this case I don't really see that."

 

Scorp decided he should shut up before he started to piss off the Sith Lord after all Scorp remembered this Sith Lord remembered him quite well. As for the Sith Lord he just left. Scorp had plans for that one. Wheither or not he would act on them was a different story.

[Renin Santur]

Renin held his breath while Scorp talked. When the Jedi finnished, Renin stopped in his tracks and turned to the two Jedi. His eyes came upon the Jedi Knight who thought he knew every thing.

 

" Why do you babble on about things you know nothing of? Were you ever a Sith? Did you ever become one with the Dark Side of the Force? Have you ever killed an innocent out of your own hate? You know nothing of the Sith. You only know what you have been told. My myself wished you would of taken the off because I...."

 

The Sith Lord's eyes turned to Kayla but only for a moment

 

" Never mind. What do I care what happes to you Jedi? "

 

The Sith turned back and continued to walk. He kept his regular paste and took the path step by step. He was irritated by what Scorp thought when he has never been in the shoes of a Sith.

[Cineon Yahn]

The hallway in which they were in that led to the exit was sealed off. From seamingly no where, Barabbas stepped out of the shadows in the room. "On second thought, Master Jedi, I decided to take you up on your offer of taking your lightsaber instead."

 

Scorp was lifted into the air by the throat and was then thrown into the steel wall, creating a small dent. He looked at Kayla and as soon as he did, she was surrounded by ray shields, unable to move.

 

He looked on as Scorp was in pain and his padawan was unable to intervene. "I hope you didn't plan on going anywhere, Scorp."

 

There was a low rumbling noise preceded by an explosion. "Oops, I guess you couldn't leave even if you wanted to." He kicked Scorp in the face, knocking him back down to the ground. He turned away and walked to the end of the hall, passing Renin as he did so. His eyes shifted to Lord Caedes and had two words for him.

 

"Kill him."

[Renin Santur]

Renin's stomach turned when he heard the words come out of Cineon's mouth.

 

"Kill him."

 

The Sith Lord watched the Emperor walk off and then turned to Scorp. He couldnt believe he would want Caedes to kill Scorp right when he had the chance to escape. Renin held his feelings behind him and placed them into his heart and power of the force. Darth Caedes pulled back his robe and unhooked his sabers from his belt. Unwilling, the Sith Lord rose both blades to his side and unleased the laser blade to their handles. Renin stood waiting for the Jedi knight to get up, as he stood in his defensive stance.

[Scorp Jedi Knight]

Scorp was getting angry. This was unbecoming of a Jedi. As soon as he hit the wall he queitly let his anger go. He would have no need of it.

 

Scorp stood up and bushed himself off.

 

"It seems I have angered not one but two Sith Lords.'

 

Scorp paused and noticed Kayla was trapped by ray shields his exit was blocked and a Sith Lord had just ben ordered to kill him. Yet in still he felt calm and collected. As If none of this really bothered him.

 

Scorp then looked a the Sith Lord who had been order to kill him. Before returning his gaze to the one who had kicked him in the face.

 

"Why do you hold her hostage for? This situation is becoming increasingly difficult. Why can't you be more open to diplomatic negotions. I could easily build you a lightsaber but you will not be taking mine. YOU have KILLED a Padawan out of some temper tantrum. And You continually seek to anger me. It shall not work and you shall pay for the crime I just witnessed as well as for any you have every commited."

 

Scorp then looked at Renin.

 

"And so we meet again. I noticed you have built a new lightsaber."

 

Scorp then detached his lightsaber from his belt.

 

" Must we fight? I suggest you simply walk away."

 

((edited for grammer and at the request by another user.))

[Renin Santur]

Renin spun the blade in his right hand. He then snarled at the Jedi with great anger in his voice.

 

" Jedi scum. You only speak in stupidity."

 

Renin smirked as he began to run with his blades up at the Jedi.

[Scorp Jedi Knight]

Scorp simply stared as the Sith rushed him. Then with a wave of his hand he summonded the force, picked up the Sith, and slammed him into the rasy shields holding Kayla. Watching him collapse to the floor. Then in the blink of an eye he appered next to Barabbas.

 

Just as fast his fott made contact with Barabbas chin as the round house snapped back Scorp delivered and punch to the diaphram and then shoved the Sith into a wall with the force.

 

"For a Sith you are very fearful. Killing helpless opponents, trying to overwhelm instead of dealing with something yourself. Even ordering those under you to attack wht you will not. Do you Fear me Sith?"

 

Scorp looked at the fallen Sith before activating one end of his saber.

 

"I hearby place you under arrest. To be tried before the Jedi council for the murder of a Jedi as well as the Republic for the murder of a citizen. You have the right to remain silent but since you have such a large mouth I doubt you will exericse that right."

 

((Naturally this means I challange you to an offical duel.))

[Kayla Mhin]

Trapped, Kayla could only watch helplessly as the battle unfolded before her. The Sith Lord apparently couldn't make up his mind on whether he wanted them dead or not. And, Kayla might not have minded the fight so much, if only she was able to help!

 

With nothing else to do, Kayla opened herself up to the Force and let it strengthen her and give her peace. Now...how could she get out of this mess...

 

((Short post...again... ))

[Renin Santur]

Renin quickly rose up to his feet and turned toward the duel between Scorp and Cineon. What to do, what to do? He wondered on what his next action was going to be. Now with out thinking, the Sith Lord turned to the highly kept Jedi and released her from the shield. But before she could do any thing, Renin placed his hand over her head and stuck her in a trance, setting her unconcious for now. Renin reached down and grabbed he before she could hit the floor. He then turned his attention to the storm troopers.

 

" I want you all to gaurd this room. Do not interfior with the battle under no circumstance and make sure no one else does as well or you will answer to my wrath."

 

He threw the Jedi over his shoulder and ran through the hall with the speed of the force. He then took her outside and ran far from the castle. He then placed he agianst the rock and watched over her, making sure she wasnt going to do any thing to tricky.

[Maelstrom]

Mael returned from prepping a ship for takeoff, and watched Renin carry off Kayla. During Cineon's long absense, he had memorized the defensive pattern of the ships surrounding the planet, and had also uploaded all the codes into a datapad as well.

 

He quickly sprang from the shadows and sprinted full speed torwards Renin, who was preoccupied with Kayla, and with a flying kick to his back sent him headfirst into a rock, temporarily stunning him. Mael knew he only had seconds, so he worked quickly.

 

He injected Kayla with nerve stimulants, not only waking her but also heightening her senses greatly. He then gave her the datapad and also a vial of his DNA. "These are the codes to deactivate the blockade, and this is my DNA. Your Master is dead, and I'll be joining him soon. Run."

 

As Mael was helping her up, he heard Renin begin to stir, and saw Kayla dash away with amazing speed. She should make it, he thought. Turning torwards Renin, he ignited his Sith sword and crouched in a defensive stance.

[Kayla Mhin]

"These are the codes to deactivate the blockade, and this is my DNA. Your Master is dead, and I'll be joining him soon. Run."

 

Kayla glanced back at the Sith with no small amount of confusion. It had to be a trap, why else would he be doing this? But he seemed to be genuine in his attempt to help her escape. Although, that really didn't mean much. He could just as well be acting sincere to fool her.

 

But for now, she would take the datapad and run, but she wasn't sure if she would actually go or not. Her master was not dead yet, she could still sense him through the Force and she was unwilling to just leave him here alone, surrounded by enemies.

 

Out of sight of both Renin and the other, she stopped to weigh her options. She could run, of course. And right now, that seemed like the best option. But, really, she wasn't the type to run from a fight. However, as a Jedi, she had an obligation to uphold peace and justice... But she also had an obligation to her master.

 

Her decision was made, despite the fact that she would likely die. Pocketing the datapad, she grasped the hilt of her lightsaber and pulled it from her belt. The odds were very much not in the favor of the Jedi, but maybe she could even those odds out a bit.

[Darth Revenga]

The sith lord and the jedi dueled at amazing speeds, such that Skor had never seen before. Their lightsabre's where whirlings streams of color, and it was like an eccentric show. Skor knew the situation was looking bleak, and more people were on their way, so he decided it would be best for him to leave while it was still an option. He saw the door the emporer left from was still open. Since he was the one Skor was here to talk with, he figured it would be in his best intrest to follow.

 

Skor crossed his arms, looked at the battle, and walked out of the room.

He saw the emporer down the hall, so he followed after him, somewhat increasing his pace.

 

'This power he speaks of....I want it...

[Maelstrom]

Mael turned, seeing that Kayla was not making her way torwards the ship.

 

"Fool! That was your one chance to escape! I needed you to clone me!"

 

Mael smirked, and then added "May the Force be with you."

 

Turning to Kayla, Mael decided now was as good a time as ever to use the 2 lightsabers a fallen Jedi, Nahstaa, had given him as he died. He cast the sith-sword aside, and ignited both of them. Although not trained to wield a lightsaber proficiently, his mechanical arm would help make up for it greatly. Mael held his left arm back, ready to strike with the saber, and with his right spun the other lightsaber in a vertical circle at an extremely fast speed. He then charged Kayla.

[Cineon Yahn]

OOC: Scorp, I gave you multiple chances to let you escape, and you refused to take the chance. What I'm about to do is not a cheap shot, considering I've already attacked you twice. Sorry.

 

IC: Barabbas looked at the lightsaber nearing his neck. "In the name of the Republic? The Republic doesn't exist out here, and you must now survive on your own. This is the Galactic Empire, and as the Emperor, your actions are recognized as an act of War." He looked at Scorp in disgust, "You are a fool, Master Jedi. I offer you mercy and you spat it in my face. YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER!"

 

The room rumbled as it was shaken with the Force. Scorp's wrist fell upon terrible pressure and he could not properly grip his lightsaber. Barabbas pulled the hilt to his own hand, stood up, and caught off the opposing arm. He held Scorp in the air, suffering from both pain from the Force, and shock of having his arm cut off with his own blade. The pressure moved to his neck, and all of the blood vessels in his eyes popped, blinding him. "You don't know the power of the Dark Side!"

 

Barabbas pulled to him a crown of thorns and placed it on Scorp's head. It began to shrink around Scorp's head and began to dig deeper into his skin and his skull. Blood squirted out of his temples and he fell to the ground due to extreme light-headedness. He watched on as Scorp bled to death, completely helpless. He walked over to Skor, who had been watching. He picked up a Sith sword and handed it to Skor, "Assist Lord Morsus if he needs help." He went outside where the last Jedi was...

[Kayla Mhin]

Kayla's lightsaber ignited in her hand and she sidestepped the attack of the Sith and slammed her foot into the small of his back. Then, her left hand reached out and she threw him back with a powerful Force-push.

 

She twirled her saber up into a defensive position but then staggered as a ripple traveled through the Force. Scorp... If he wasn't dead yet, he was very much on his way there. She could sense the dark presence of the Sith Lord approaching and anger welled up inside of her. She could kill him, make him pay for what he had done. But, that was not the way of the Jedi. It may have been her way for a long time before, but she would like to think that the months in training had changed her, made her into someone better than that.

 

Now faced with a choice, she had only a moment to debate her options and come to a decision as the two Sith closed on her. Her eyes slid shut and she reached out with the Force, drawing it's strength and peace into her. The anger and rage that she had felt building within her dissipated and she came to a decision. There was nothing left here for her but revenge, revenge for her Master, revenge for her friend. Anger and hate, they led to the dark side. She would not fall.

 

"Go, Kayla, run." The familiar voice of Kayla's mother spoke into her mind and she complied, suddenly flying upwards and back some distance away with the aid of the Force. As soon as her feet hit the ground, she was running, her active lightsaber still in her hand. Her booted feet pounded the ground quietly and with dizzying speed as she ran with Force-aided speed back to Scorp's ship.

[Renin Santur]

Renin smirked as he watchedt he comotion between the Jedi and Sith. Before the two could go any further in the battle, the Sith Lord sprung up and leaped at the apprentice and unleashed his two lightsabers. Renin landed behind the Sith Apprentice and quickly spun with his lightsaber. He drove one of the blades downward and sliced the mechanical arm off the man.

 

Renin then spun infront of him and rose both blades, pointing the tips towards the apprentices eyes. The Sith Lord pushed the sabers forward and burnt the eyes of Mael from his skull. Renin chuckled as he deactivated the lightsabers that were placed in his hands. Renin force pushed the painful body, tossing him into the air and sending him far from where Renin stood. He turned around to Kayla, ignoring the screaming of pain that was about to be leashed from the other Sith's mouth.

 

" Your master is dead and soon you will be too if you dont run. Now Im giving you one last chance. So please, run and leave this place. I dont wish to kill you."

 

The Sith kept his hilts in his hands and placed his mind in the force. Just incase of any attack was about to come his way. He then turned back and watched her run towards a ship that wasnt there.

[Cineon Yahn]

Barabbas was calmly walking outside. He was near the battle, if you could call it that, and was near when Kayla began to run for Scorp's ship... or so she thought she was. He shouted out to her, "I hope you know that that explosion earlier that caused a rumble in the palace was that of your master's ship being detonated."

 

He held out his hand and pulled Kayla back to him. He grabbed her by the throat and hair. "Why does she run? Why does she defy his majesty Emperor Yahn?"

 

He threw her to the ground where she was then prodded several times with tasers. He looked at her, the iris of both eyes flushed with yellow. "Do you yield?"

[Maelstrom]

Far away, laying on the ground, Mael moaned in pain. Reaching his one arm out, he crawled along the rocks, realizing his back was broken. Blood pouring from his broken body, he reached into his belt for a transmitter. He felt along the keypad and pressed in the code to active a cloning pod in far-off Naboo. Unfortunately, the DNA was about 3 years old, so he would not be in the same physical state, but it was his only option.

 

You bastards. Mael reached into his belt, but stopped short in agony, letting out a screeching howl. Gasping for air, he pulled the pin on the thermal detonator.

 

With his last thought, he realized how afraid he was to die, but he hoped his younger self would choose a better path. Perhaps his youthfulness will lead him to-

 

In the distance, the 2 Sith and Jedi heard an explosion.

[Renin Santur]

Renin clamped his fists and turned to Kayla who was being eletricuted by the Imperials. His eyes then went to Cineon and then back to Kayla. Each second he would turn back between the two. He waited for Kayla to surrender and some part of him deep inside wished she would.
