JasraLantill Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 "Crystal?" Jasra spoke into the com link. "Get down here. We may need your help in entering the temple's inner chambers." Jasra waited for a moment, then moved to follow Kira inside. Crystal would home in on Jasra when she teleported, so she wasn't worried about meeting her inside.

The Doctor Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 "Then we must hurry," said the Watcher, picking up the pace. "We must get to the Shard before she does." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ They stepped into a cavernous room, dimly lit with a golden light by the Shard in the centre of the room. Passing the screwdriver to Mical, he took his silver lightsaber fro, his belt and approached the Shard. He reached out, and felt it's warm power reach into his mind. He stumbled for a moment, then regained his balance. He placed the Shard into his pocket. "Alright... let's get out of here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 (OOC: Just to keep things moving, we'll say that there weren't any puzzles or locks. WJ, Crystal can meet up with us in the main chamber.)) IC: "Not so fast!" Disciple whirled around, gazing in horror at the door they had just entered through moments ago. Kira stood, framed in the blackness, her saber ignited and held at the ready. "Kira..." the blonde Jedi heard Atton whisper, but he hardly registered it as Kira began advancing on them. Now that she had stepped from the doorway, he could also see that Jasra was behind her. "Sorry to be so cliche, but hand over the Shard, and no one gets hurt." the Exile called, halting her advance several feet from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 The Watcher stepped down from the plinth, igniting his silver lightsaber. "Mical: get them out of here. I will deal with this... abomination." "But-" "GO!" he yelled, before Tegan could finish her sentence. He turned to Kira. "The great Darth Kourkon ..." he said darkly. "You were not meant to exist in this reality. The Shards have indeed torn you apart." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 As Kira advanced, Jasra flexed her gauntlets and circled off to the left. Then she used the Force to cloak herself, as Brax had taught her, to vanish into the darkness at the edges of the chamber. She tightened her grip on her sabre, but didn't turn it on. Cloaked, she could support Kira by moving up from behind the group unseen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Kira smiled smugly; darkly. "Only you could know that." she said, "And even the combined powers of all your former selves wouldn't have been enough to prevent this...and you knew it, didn't you, Doctor?"

The Doctor Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Tegan stopped. "What?!" she screamed. "Watcher... what.... you're the Doctor?" He smiled slightly, not taking his eyes of Kira or her lightsaber. "Indeed I am. A later incarnation of the man you travel with now. Four incarnations later, to be exact. Some know me as the Ninth Doctor. He is the Fifth." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 "Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, it makes no difference." Kira said, spinning her saberstaff in a tight pattern around her body before sliding into a fighting stance, "It's the end of the line for you."

The Doctor Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 "You have too much faith in your newfound 'powers', Kourkon," said the Ninth Doctor. "I cannot allow you to posses the remaining Shards." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForceFightWMe12 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 "Shut up, fool!" Kira shouted, unleashing a Force-push on Crystal, thrusting her to the ground. In the same movement, she turned back on the Watcher. "Whether you allow it or not makes no difference to me. You can't prevent me from taking it!" and used the Force to pull him to her, her fingers latching cruely around his neck as she lifted him from the ground. "The Shard is mine, and mine alone!"

The Doctor Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 His lightsaber fell to the ground as he flew through the air. He was defenseless. Struggling to prevent her from crushing his jugular, he tried to speak. "Kira... listen to me! You must fight the Shards! You cannot give in to them!"

ForceFightWMe12 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 "It's far to late for that, old man." Kira said, and she reached to his jacket, tearing the pocket open and allowing the second-to-last Shard to fall to the ground. "Finally..." she hissed, and cast the Watcher away as if he were a mere peice of trash. She was oblivious to his sigh of pain and the smack of his body hitting the ground as she reached for the Shard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Gasping for breath, the Watcher saw Tegan run forward to help him. "No!" he yelled. "Stay where you are! Don't come any closer" "But-" "No!" he said again, standing. He had picked up his lightsaber, and was now pointing it at Kira. "Kira, please. Don't make me destroy you!"

ForceFightWMe12 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 "Ha! That's a good one, Pops." Kira said, holding the Shard before her eyes as if studying a diamond. After a moment, she pocketed it, and turned to face the Watcher, her saber held ever at the ready. "Though if you wish to end your life quickly, be my guest and attack me. It's been a while since I've fought someone who has no connection to the Force whatsoever." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 The Watcher dropped into a defensive posture. "I will not let you leave this temple with the Shard," he said. "Give it to me. Now." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 "Why don't you come and take it?!" Kira asked, adding emphasis to her words by launching herself at him, her saber illuminating deadly arcs in the air as she swooped in to attack.

The Doctor Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 He parried the blow, and struck at her saber arm. She easily deflected it, and flicked her saber around, throwing his to the side. He was, once again, defensless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Kira laughed, pleased that she was able to best him so easily. Now that he no longer had his saber, it was an easy affair to land a harsh side-kick to his chest, knocking him to the ground yet again. There, she stood over him, one foot on his chest, pinning him to the ground. She hefted her saber above her, holding it above his head like a spear. "Anything last to say before you die?" she asked, a malicious smile tainting her features. "Kira, DON'T!" The unexpected Force-push sent Kira back-pedaling a few feet before she was able to regain her balance. By that time, Disciple had already stepped in front of her and the Watcher. "Don't do it." he said, his arms spread-eagled as if barring her way. "What, you want to die with him, Disciple?" she laughed, "Very well, I can't deny you your request!" she again wheeled in to attack, but what he said next triggered something in her mind, and the old Kira broke through, if only for a moment. "Not Disciple, Kira, Mical. You know me. You can trust me." The Exile stopped in her tracks, her eyes wide with shock. After hardly a second, she had switched gears again. With a twirl of her cloak, she spun on her heel and headed for the exit. "Jasra! Have Crystal stay here, and restrain these pesky insects. Once that is finished, return to the ship immediatly. We have one last Shard to collect." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 The Watcher struggled to stand. "Mical... we must get to the TARDIS. The ship in orbit... that is where we will find the last Shard... and the Doctor." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 "You're not going anywhere," said Jasra's voice from somewhere in the darkness. She had watched Kira's battle with the Watcher with mild interest. She had expected Karda to be there, but apparently, he had been left behind to guard the Watcher's TARDIS, and the Disciple she didn't see as much of a challenge now. "And thanks for the information on where the last shard is," she continued after a few steps. "My Master will be most pleased." She was quiet again, making sure to change direction in case the Disciple or the Watcher could get a fix on her position. "Crystal," she said, as she circled around to the entrance. "Stay here. Don't let them... leave." She paused. It had just occurred to her that Crystal probably couldn't do much to prevent them from leaving. "Or at least, try," she added. Reaching the entrance, she stood there for a moment, waiting to see if the Disciple or anyone else would try to chase after Kira. If they did, her job was to keep herself between them and Kira, to protect the Shard, and to see that they didn't get very far. She had her gauntlets, her lightsabre, and, being cloaked, the element of surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 The Watcher smiled. "You cannot stop us, Jasra," he said. He pulled the sonic screwdriver out of his pocket, and activated it. Jasra's cloak flickered for a second, but remained intact. A screeching sound pierced the room - the sound of a TARDIS. A tall blue box, slightly more beaten and worn than the Doctor's, appeared out of nowhere. "Go!" he yelled, throwing the TARDIS door open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 The Watcher closed the TARDIS doos, and after a moment, the sound of their engines echoed throughout the chamber, the TARDIS dissolving into nothingness. The Watcher began throwing levers as if their lives depended on it, pushing buttons like they were jumping off the console at him. "So... are you going to tell us how you're the Doctor if we arrived with him a week ago?" The Watcher didn't look at her, continuing ot pilot his antiquified TARDIS. "It's quite simple. We are both the Doctor. I was him, he will be me. In ... oh, I'd say it would have to be... about 25 years, from his perspective." "But... I thought that no one was supposed to be abel to meet a past or ffuture version of themself. That the time matrix would-" "Unless great amounts of power can be grenerated to sustain the vortex, then yes. But I was sent by the Time Lords as a last resort. This crisis, along with the Time War..." "Time War?" "I'll explain later. Right now, we must focus our attention on reaching the final Shard. The ship in orbit is where the final Shard is, at the moment. We'll also find the Doctor, most likely-" "But how do we know that the Doctor is still alive?" asked Disciple. "If he were dead, I would be as well - if he has no future, I will cease to exist. Then nothing I would have done here would have taken place. None of it will have mattered. If he dies, we both die. I may be able to remain for a while, but it will be in an increasingly weakened state." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Crystal looked as if she were trying to obey Jasra's orders, but then the TARDIS vanished and she staggered uncertainly. She put her right hand to her head and reached out with her left, catching and stabilizing herself. "Oh, pain..." she groaned. She shook her head slowly, trying to clear the pain. It worked slightly. "I've got about the worst headache in the history of the galaxy," she told Jasra. "Let's go before Kira or whoever she is gets impatient on us."
