there is no peace part 2

[Uber_Saber]

Jamis was flying his newly-stolen Correlian ShipMaster 200 when he spotted the out-of-control Sith Fighter.

 

Or more accurately, he was not so much flying the ship as barely keeping it aloft. He knew now why the ship had had no locks- no-one besides him wanted it. From the creaks and groans of the ship, he wondered if it was even spaceworthy.

 

All that was solved, though, when he spotted the fighter. He actually did spot it, as opposed to his sensors spotting it. (The sensors, like the rest of the ship, were junk)

 

Either the Force was with him, or some deity he didn't know about was watching out for him, because here was the perfect oppurtunity. He followed the fighter down, set it down much more gently than the fighter had come down, (He still winced at the groans of metal that encurred) and disposed of the Fighter's pilot.

 

A while later, after checking the fighter for damage, he was aloft, pleased somewhat with his new ride. Due to his training at the Sith Academy, he knew the oddball formations and slang of the Sith Navy, and soon landed his fighter. He got out, and looked around, trying to remember from the single time he'd been on a ship like this where to go.

[Hiroki]

A Sith navy Commander walked up to him, looking him up and down, aswell as his ship.

 

*Commander* Why have you landed? Your ship seems to be in no serious condition. Do you think you need to land every time the hull gets a little scorched? And what is with your cloths? Where is your uniform? What is your rank?

 

The commander eyed him suspiciously as he questioned.

[Uber_Saber]

Jamis straightened himself up like a somewhat damaged sodier, saluting suddenly. "Flight Officer Norman Svall, sir! I landed because of a concussion I believe I suffered during a collision. About the uniform, well, see, there's a bit of an embassing storying behind that..." said Jamis, thinking quickly. he adopted a sheepish manner.

 

You ninny! I knew I forgot something! But the uniform, for Zarquon's sakes? His inward commentator screamed at him again.

 

"I'd like to discuss this in private, with you sir. I think it would be best for all involved." He planted a small, or actually, a very large suggestion in the man's head that there was obviously going to be a very good explanation. Oh, and that Security would be totally unneccesary.

 

"Very well. My office." The commander, who was obviously somewhat high-ranking, stalked off. Jamis followed him. Inside the man's office, there was a brief moment's attack, and the Commander fell down. Jamis tried to put on his uniform. The shirt was tight across his chest, and there were seveal inches of socks showing, the pants were so short.

 

Damn, thought Jamis. Oh well. At least he blended in a little better. he grabbed a datapad from the Commander's desk, and checked the location of the incarceration cells. He paused. No, that was wrong. he wanted the other cells. he was glad he'd sort of paid attention during that tour he'd had of one of these ships. He wanted the Jedi incarceration cells.

 

Good. He clipped the datapad to his belt, then looked around the office for a prop. Seeing none, he pulled the datapad off his belt again, and went out through the halls, pretending to check something on his datapad, and muttering agrily to himself. No-one wanted to get in his way, because you simply did not interrupt someone that high up the food chain who was looking peevish.

[Hiroki]

Sukara looked up once more, he had been watching the battle as it raged outside, dictateing orders to the fighter squadrans when he saw fally in his own commanders orders.

 

*Sukara* "I sense that someone, someone who is very strong in the force no less, has just boarded our ship."

 

A sly grin crepped apon his face.

 

*Sukara* "I think I shall go greet our new guest."

 

He walked slowly twords the power that was eminateing from his target, he could tell he was struggleing to hide his connection to the force, even forceing himself to struggle to keep track of him.

 

*Sukara* "Hmm. This one is very good at hideing his powers. I sense much anger in him, however. Perhaps he could be useful."

 

He continued to walk, passing by the ex-commanders office, looking in to see if he knew about any recent boardings, but instead only found his dead, naked body.

 

*Sukara* "Hah, I like him already."

 

Stopping a trooper who passes him by, he turns to him.

 

*Sukara* "Have you seen the Commander today?"

 

*Sith Trooper* "Uh...Yes sir! He was heading twords the Jedi prison complex I beleave sir."

 

*Sukara* "Oh, was he now? Continue on your way then."

 

Sukara quickly made his way to the Jedi cells, spotting the Commander about to enter the detention area.

 

*Sukara* "So, what brings you down here "Commander"?

[Uber_Saber]

Jamis turned to see who was addressing him. He saw the lightsaber on the man's belt. Oh no... he thought. That, and the man's tone of voice when calling him 'commander' told him his cover was busted. He decided flippancy in the face of almost certain death was the answer.

 

"Well, planning on running a few checks, get my slacks lengthened... the usual. Oh, that, and bust a couple of prisoners out of your holding cells."

[Writer]

When Brittany woke up, she moaned. She was in a lot of pain and decided that being stunned was not a good idea. The human body was not made for it.

 

She opened her eyes and looked around the room. It was small and very typical of a holding cell. She could tell that she was on a ship and most likely in space heading for some unknown destination. She wondered where Rick was and how they would get out of this mess. What did the Sith want with them anyway, that they were so insistent on coming after them?

[Hiroki]

Sukara slowly steps twords Jamis, looking him up and down.

 

"Hmm...a couple of prisoners you say? Would they happen to be Rick Ulo and Brittany? I beleave I recognise you now, you where the Dark Jedi that betrayed Zera wern't you? I suppose I should thank you, you are one of the reasons I'm in my current possition."

 

*Sukara turns, walking away slightly before turning around again* "I'll give you a choise here, you can re-join the Sith, and aid me, or you can die right here. If you choose to help me of course, I'll need you to do a little test, just to prove your loyallty."

 

He walks twords Brittanys cell, smirking as he see's she is now awake.

 

"Hello, Brittany, I'm glad to see your around and about now. I trust you found your acomidations hospitable given the cercumstances? I hate to interupt you, if you where busy, but, I only really need Rick, so I think you will be the perfect test."

 

He turns back to Jamis "Your test, should you choose to join me, is to kill Brittany!"

[Uber_Saber]

"Actually, that wasn't me. I just freed Rick and Brittany and handed them over to Shado." Jamis felt that this little bit of clarification was needed.

 

He looked around, as Sukara outlined what he wanted Jamis to do. Jamis looked at Brittany, considering his options.

 

"I was a Sith," he said. "I believed that power was always the answer. But I was assigned to alter Brittany's memories. To do that, I had to look at her memories. I found things I had not believed in before, like happiness. Happiness derived from good company, happiness and contentment derived from not always trying to be the most powerful." He straightened up a little.

 

"That's why I think the Sith way is not my way. I'd rather just be a humble person, not needing power. And that's not the Sith way." he paused and considered. "By the same token, I don't think that I want to be a Jedi, either. I've had enough of institutions and Orders and rules." He looked at Sukara.

 

"I came on board to rescue these two, because they freed me from the cloud of the Sith. Because I feel an... attachment to them. I'm not just going to change my goals." He pulled his lightsaber out of where he'd hidden it in the Commander's boot.

 

Unsurprisingly, Sukara's weapon was out too. "Mildly disappointing," the Sith said, "but not wholly unanticipated."

 

Jamis took a step to the side, and sliced open the holding cell. First things first, he thought. I need help...

[Hiroki]

Sukara looked at him as he freed Brittany, laughing to himself slightly.

 

*Sukara* Do you honestly think you, and that half-awake Jedi stand a chance againts me?

 

Sukara quickly flurrys his saber, maybe showing off a bit to much, but none the less showing that he is a very capable saberist.

 

Jamis quickly raises his hand, sending a jolt of lightning at Sukara, however, he camly raises his saber, the lightning entering into it, and disapateing within the violet blade.

 

*Sukara* I'm afraid you will need to do better than that.

[Writer]

Brittany stood there, half awake as Sukura had said and it could hardly be expected that she make any sudden movements, but hearing Sukura's challenge prevented her from doing anything else. Without warning, she unleashed a kick that sent him reeling backward into the wall.

 

"Surprised?" she challenged and grabbed both of her lightsabers, which for some reason were still with her.

[Hiroki]

Sukara, clearly suprised to see her still with her sabers growled under his breath.

 

*Sukara* Someone will pay for such an abviouse lack of compotense. Well, nomatter, half awake or not, neather of you stand a chance.

 

Moveing forward with a stunning burst of speed and power, he slashes his saber down at Brittany, wich she blocks with her own, swinging with the other, however Sukara anticipated this, ignighting the other end of his Double bladed lightsaber, blocking her blow, delevering a swift kick to her gut, sending her flying back.

 

Turning to Jamis, who's saber was almost on top of him by then, quickly rolling out of the blades way and locking sabers with him, Jamis may have been one of the greatest telipaths in the Galaxy, but Sukara had dedicated almost all of his strength to his saber skills, though the few force powers he possest where scertenly powerful, he did only posses few powers, other than the neutrals.

 

Brittany had gotten up by then, and was rushing twords him, quickly seeing her, he smacks Jamises saber away, kicking him in the head, couseing him to stumble back slightly, as he reaches his hand forward, sending a blast of force lightning twords her.

[Hiroki]

*OOC* I think Sukara's profile is well over-due. So here go's.

 

Name: Sukara Delwynn

Race: Human

Hight: 5'11

Weight: 160

Eyes: Brown

Hair: Red/black, a combination.

Lightsaber: Double bladed Violet colored lightsaber, 5th generation.

Force powers: All basic powers, force lightning, force rage, force absorb.

Rank: Current self proclamed Lord of the Sith.

 

Profile: Sukara's past is somewhat shrouded in mystery, only he knows the truth, though everybody knows he was once a promiseing young Padawan, what they do not know, however, is how he became a Sith, while on a mission with his Master, he simply vanished, most assumed he was killed, untill reports of him, wich stated that he was now part of Zera's newly organised Sith Armada begain to sprang up.

 

With Zera's death, Sukara found the perfect opertunity to take the lead, and with Zera's apprentice, Hadeous dead, who would oppose him? Sukara, though currently dedicated to the Dark Side, never liked Zera or Hadeous.

 

Though Zera, thru over all balence could be considered stronger than Sukara, Sukara is defenatly the best saberist to come along in many years, the deaths of many Jedi Masters, Knights, and Padawans hanging over his head. Sukara always beleaved he should at the very least be Zera's apprentice, as he is in every way, a more powerful Jedi than Hadeous.

 

Angered when Zera chose Hadeous over him, he deeply resented them both after that. When he got word that the Sith main base was under attack, his ship happened to arive "late", and Zera and Hadeous had already been killed. Now free from the will of the former Sith Lords, Sukara seeks to build his own ideal Sith Empire, one wich that fool Zera could never even dream of!

 

*OOC* There! Hope you like it.

[Uber_Saber]

Jamis stumbled back from Sukara. Some people who had double-bladed lightsabers didn't know how to use them.

 

Unfortunately, Sukara did not fall into this group. Jamis could tell he'd devoted much time to working with his lightsaber, and recalled now some of the fame that had been beginning to spread about the man's reputed prowess.

 

Jamis flinched as the lightning blasted out from Sukara towards Brittany. She stopped it with ehr lightsaber, though. Jamis took the oppurtunity to send another blast of his own lightning at Sukara, and then jumped forward, stabbing very quickly, and very close to the handle of Sukara's lightsaber, trying to score a hit on the man's body.

[Hiroki]

Growling in anger, Sukara quickly blocked and dodged Jamises skillful jabs, haveing cought the lightning blast in his hand, absorbing its power, however, Jamises speed suprised him, couseing him to leap back out of his strikeing range.

 

*Sukara* I am...suprised at your skill Jamis, it really is to bad you didn't wish to join me. But there is no sense dwelling on the past, if I must kill you, than I will.

 

Turning to Brittany, he grins sheepishly, before quickly ripping the door to her ex-prison free from its henges useing the force, throwing it at her, Brittany skillfully cuts it in two.

 

Blocking Jamises saber attack, wich he made shortly after Sukara threw the cage at Britanny. Sukara raises his hand, sending another bolt of force lightning at her, still recovering from the slight shock of haveing the door thrown at her, she is struck in the chest with the attack, the jolts of electricity sergeing thru her, couseing her to drop to her knee's.

 

*Sukara* There, that should keep you both off me long enough for me to kill you, Jamis.

 

With a determined look, he launched rapid sucsession of slashes, cuts, and jabs at Jamis, his attacks blurring somewhat, as he uses the force to hasten his attacks.

[Writer]

Brittany's breath left her when the lightning hit and she dropped to the ground, trying to regain it. Sukara came over and stood just above her, prepared to make the killing blow, but she wasn't done yet. Her foot was close to his shin and the two connected very quickly, allowing Brittany to roll away and get up. She was still panting from the lightning, but was more than ready to fight more.

 

She ripped the door off of Rick's holding cell and used the force to throw it hard at Sukara.

[Hiroki]

Seeing the door comeing, he quickly cuts it into three pieces, useing the two blades of his lightsaber, when the cage falls at his feet, he looks up just in time to see Brittany chargeing him, raiseing his lightsaber, as it clashes with her own, the three blades crackleing againts each other as he keeps his body firmly in its place, looking over his shoulder slightly to see Jamis standing up, he quickly pushes againts her, letting his anger fuel his strength, his body starting to glow slightly red as his mind is dominated by rage.

 

The increased power couseing him force her two sabers back, her left leg moveing further back to try and gain her some leverage againts his powerful assault, however, Sukara quickly forces her own sabers back againts her, and with one powerful push, couses them to singe her arms, the cloth above them setting fire slightly, as his foot rises, giveing her a powerful kick in the gut, sending her back a few feet, and onto her side, smirking slightly as he walks over to her, raiseing his saber.

 

*Sukara* And now, you die!

 

As he is about to bring it down on her, he completely forgets about Jamis, who is now chargeing him, seeing him just as he is about to strike againts him, and parrieing him with his lower blade, the suprise catching him in the a lock, as he struggles to break it, but there awkward position gives Jamis a great advantige, and he holds steady againts him.

 

*Sukara* Grrr...Damnit!

[Writer]

Brittany decides to ignore the fight and slips into Rick's holding cell. She tries to wake him up, but when she is not successful, she picks him up and carries him out of the cell, running off to find the hangar. She hopes that Jamis will be able to hold Sukara off long enough for her to get away and then get away himself.

[Hiroki]

Sukara turns to Jamis, who is still holding strong againts there saber lock, neather of them gaining, or loseing any ground.

 

*Sukara* You see? They have abandoned you, she would have tried to strike me down if she cared anything about you Jamis! Why do you continue to fight againts your ally's, when your so-called friends couldn't care less?

[Writer]

Brittany tucked Rick safely away into a small shuttle and came back. She felt that she couldn't just leave Jamis alone. Disarming a stormtrooper along the way, she picked up his blaster to shoot at Sukara's unsuspecting back. The only problem is that, unsuspecting or not, he managed to block the bolt. She dropped the blaster and picked up both her lightsabers, charging to attack.

[Hiroki]

Sukara with every ounce of his power, managed to break Jamises lock, spinning, giveing him a quick round house kick to the side of the head, couseing him to spin to the ground, raiseing his saber to stab down at him, he thrusts downwards, only to be forced to jump back at the last second as Brittany throws one of her sabers at him.

 

As Sukara is about to continue his assault the ship begains to shake violantly, the sounds of explosions being heared on the outside.

 

*Sukara talking into his com* Whats going on?

 

*Sith Trooper* There is a second Republic Interdictor class that has just emerged from hyperspace, from behind us! They're both fireing on us, our sheilds have been broken in several key poi-AGHHH!!

 

*Sukara looks back up at them* Damn Republic! I guess I'll have to finish you both off quickly then. I never thought I would have to use this againts anybody...But I have little choise, I need to get out of here quickly. You should be quite honered to force me into such a spot.

 

With that he clutches his saber tightly, standing in a ready position, growling slightly at first, before the tone of his voice deepens, a dark red aura surounding him, as he unleashes the full power of his Force Rage, combinding it with his Force Speed, and Force absorb.

 

*Sukara* I...will kill you both now...Then I must hurry...and rest...This will drain me past my limits...

 

With that, Sukara launches a blindingly fast assault, chargeing twords both Brittany and Jamis at lightning speed locking sabers with them both, his saber blazeing betwean them both, as they struggle to just defend, much less attack, Sukara's heart beating rapidly inside of his chest, feeling as if its going to explode, but he forces himself to continue, despite the pain his own assault puts him under.

[Hiroki]

Outside the ship, the two Republic Interdictor's fire down at the already heavily damaged Sith vessal.

 

*Republic Officer* They won't last very long againts this assault. We'll have that ship crashing to the surface in no time. Don't worry, we made sure it was not over any of Tatooines three settlements.

 

*Admiral* Good work. Continue fireing till its engines are destroyed, if its still in orbit after that, then prepare to boared.

 

*Republic Officer* Yes sir!

 

The powerful turbo lasers of the republic ships beat down on the battered century old Rakatan ship, more corridoors explodeing as they impact, a chunk of the ship colapsing on some unexpecting Sith Trooeprs.

 

Despite all of this, Sukara continues to fight his oponents in the burning vessal, the chance that it might come down around them growing with each passing second.

[Hiroki]

(( Welcome! That was a very good, and well thought out post. Nice one! ))

 

As the once mighty ship is battered more with each passing second, the Jedi who fight in its prison area only fight harder, pieces of the ship crumbleing down around them as they battle with all of there might. Sukara slowly pushing the two back, as his own imense attack slowly does harm to his own body, but not to much to prevent him from finishing what he has sworn to do.

[Uber_Saber]

Suddenly, Jamis, realizing that this fight was near hopeless, decided to try some other tactic.

 

But what? He thought quickly. He couldn't use one of his mind tricks. They required more concentration than he could summon in the midst of this wild fight.

 

Even jsut thinking about that, he nearly had his head lopped off. He ducked in the nick of time and performed a back-hand slash that caused Sukara to hop back. And then Jamis realized what he needed to do.

 

He fought around to Sukara's side, slowly moving away from Brittany, but making the Sith have to cover himself even more. Fighting two opponents, the last thing you want is for them to get either side of you.

 

All of a sudden, Sukara was thinking defensively, even if with his inhuman speed he still had the offense. And that was what was needed. Once an opponent started thinking defensively, he started moving defensively. He had to respond. And that was what Jamis was looking for.

 

A moment as the Sith Lord forced himself to back up, away from the two Jedi, and Jamis had his chance.

 

In a normal fight with melee weapons between normal people, the fight is decided in the first few seconds. All that is needed is one mistake.

 

However, during a fight, Jedi tend to pick up emanations from one another about what an attack is going to be, because in the middle of a fight, even the most trained of Jedi has difficulty not letting some of their thoughts out to others.

 

So Jamis fed Sukara a false emanation about his next attack. He pretended he would go to one knee and stab straight forward, while Brittany went around to the right for a quick slash at the Sith's head. He fed this emanation to Brittany, too, and a moment later, she began the execution of her movement and attack.

 

Sukara had already begun to block Jamis' attack, and was setting himself up to block Brittany. Jamis, though, jumped and brought his saber around from the left, a fast and wicked blow aimed to seperate the top two inches of Sukara's shoulders from the rest of his body.

 

Sukara did the natural thing and ducked... and Brittany, reacting off of a second thought that Jamis had sent her way, stabbed, hitting him with her saber.

[Hiroki]

Sukara gasped wide-eyed as he felt the blade enter his body for just a split second. stumbleing back, the wound not deep enough to kill, but certenly enough to distract him.

 

Looking down at it in suprise, and gazeing back up just in time to see Jamises blade comeing down on his, raiseing his own blade to block it, but the sharp jolt of pain from his wound couseing the position of his arms to shift slightly, Jamises blade comeing down right in the middle of his saber, just missing his fingers, but cutting threw one of the blades force crystals, destroying it. One blade deactivated, and the other end of the saber was release from his suprised palm as he falls flat on his back.

 

*Sukara* I-I can't beleave the both of you managed to defeat me...

 

Standing up, he slowly walks over to his now normal saber, picking it up, Jamis and Brittany both instantly raiseing there defence, but to there suprise, Sukara gets on his knee's.

 

*Sukara* You have fought well. I am not longer worthy of the title Lord of the Sith.

 

With that, he points the saber end at his chest, and lowers his finger down on the activation button.

[Hiroki]

As the Republic transport boards the smokeing Sith vessal, they are greeted by a barage of laserfire from the surviveing Sith Troopers, fire already bombarding them as they open the door, the Sith Troopers not going down without a fight.

 

*Sith Trooper Commander* Kill the Republic Dogs!! They won't take us alive!!
