Rebel Scum

[Ira]

As she moved along, Ira did her best to focus on herself, taking a moment to rest against a wall. In a similar manner to her Force Lightning, white electricity danced along her skin as well as Kira's though not causing physical harm or pain; it simply started to drain him. She drew upon his own energies to begin healing her wounds. After a moment, bullets from her left arm were pushed up to the surface of her skin and pushed out, falling to the ground with quiet pings. Her skin closed though scars remained, the same with her right hand. Better.

With her injuries healed, Ira continued to move.

[Raal]

On cue, a reflective violet barrier was thrown up around Kira as a figure started to materialize. The barrier would protect him from further assaults. The psychic demon materialized in a purple flash, having a glowering expression. He heard the call, and promptly came. Wher'd he come from?! It's like he just arrived out of thin air! Raal's strike was without warning, and without mercy.

Kinetic energy in the form of a powerful wave exploded forward at the Darth. It was quick, it was forceful, it had knockback, and it was followed up by purple energy bolts soaring out of his clawtips at the attacker. Raal oozed energy, all of it coming from his mind.

He wasn't going to let up. He felt weird energies coming from this spot when he was called, and immediately thought danger.

"Anything else you want to throw at us, woman?"

[Ira]

She felt the barrier form around Kira. But what was this exactly going on? And then she felt the presence of another. And someone who pulled on the energies around them. Her attention was drawn and her interest gained. Ira turned her gaze to where she felt the presence forming. Feeling the pull, Ira raised her hand to defend herself, however it was just too late to do so. Ira had enough of a concentration though to keep her feet planted down on the ground so she only slid backwards - quickly, yes, but thankfully, not flying through the air.

His second attack, though it came quickly, she had already regained her focus enough to try to block it. Did these fools not understand the power she had or controlled? Did they not comprehend the power of the Dark Side? It certainly seemed as if they did not. Her hand drew the purple bolts to it and her hand was pushed backwards. However, the energy failed touch her hand at all. While perhaps she was not so good at offensive Force abilities, she was a true master at defensive techniques, and shifting energy was a skill no other Force user she had encountered could match her in.

Instead of letting it return to the attacker though, Ira let it fly towards the wall next to her though a few feet forward as well.

These things were like roaches or pests too, weren't they? So similar to the Jedi. One was captured or hurt, it'd lure them all out. Ira dropped Kira onto the ground roughly, without half a care for him at the moment. As she did so, she drew upon the Force, violently lashing out through it in attempts to steal the power this new enemy had away from him; to rob him of his energies by temporarily disconnecting him - to prevent him from access it. Force Sever was potentially one of the most devastating techniques she knew for the simple fact that it left her targets without much to use save for their own physical prowess against her while she was still armed with the Force.

[Saasha]

Enough was enough. A sudden explosion of black energy would surge over the area and cover it all in a thick darkness. Tendril upon tendril of black nothingness would wrap around Ira to suppress her movement, palpable forms that would hold her firm. As an added tough, just as she was doing to Raal, Ira would feel the Force trying to be ripped form her. Kissira had found her former Dark Lady.

Nothing was said as she ignited her saber and lunged for the woman, blade tip held in front of her and over her head to drive through the woman's chest. Ira would recognize her, yes, but only by the feel of her Force and her face. Despite her change in species, Kissira's face stil held much of her old likeness if one knew her back then. And oh, did Ira know.

[Kira Yamato]

Kira blinked as just like that Raal had appeared. He had to admit he was a tad surprised. He had thought it would have at least taken him a while to get there, but no. All for the better he supposed since he was suddenly feeling drained. He was surprised that the lightening hadn’t hurt him this time, but rather instead just served to drain him and had been dropped. His mind wanted to put his hands out to stop him, but to response came from them. Her attention was no longer on him fortunatly.

He could feel her own Force Stun on him lessen. Whatever Raal had done stopped him from hitting the ground completely as he slowly moved his fingers. Still not enough. It was then that he felt something….familiar. Kissira? She was here too? Just as fast the area grew dark as he looked around as best as he could. Not that he was ungrateful, but did those two know each other? Or at the very least did Kissira know something he didn’t. His eyes traveled back to Ira. He had only been taken a little distance from his gun. He slowly reached out with the Force trying to get it to his hand. Just a little more….

If you have a problem with a posting order let me know. We don’t have to have one, it just makes it more organized, and less confusing I think.

[Raal]

Well, what was this?

Raal was temporarily taken aback by the Darth's surprising resilience to his psychic attacks. He was even further surprised when he felt his own kinesis shield being drained from him. Clever mortal. It didn't last long.

Another entered the fray, this one having a similar energy ping as the Darth.

He moved out of her way, making sure they had enough space to fight each other. Raal proceeded to spawn flying sawdiscs, sharper than a razor, but more brittle than fine china. They resembled glass in a sense that they were see-through, but had a faint purple tinge to them. The demon made a tossing gesture, and away they went, the dozen discs homing in on Ira. He intended to slice her into pieces.

Unfortunately, he needed to work on the turning speed of the discs... that was next on his sub-agenda....

[Ira]

So much at once, but this was something she was used to. Sure, maybe not the tendrils rising and holding her in place, but nothing to cause panic for. Just quiet swearing in a foreign language. Both the sabers flew from her hips and to her hands, and the blades came to life.

Her right hand moved over her shoulder and to her back, the blade seemingly hitting something; the very attack through the Force a former apprentice had thrown at her. The attack halted by the saber still left her with her connection to the force. While that attack was defended though, her former apprentice's blade pierced her torso, though a bit too late. Ira had set to siphoning the girl's own aura which held her in place, the rage in it powerful enough to supply her with strength and the willpower to continue through such injuries. Not only that, but by transferring its energy to herself to mend her wound now she had weakened their grip a fair deal. Once that blade pierced her body though a rolling wave through the Force resounded in all directions; pushing out violently to push all those around away from her, discs included. She was done with this for now. Three against one. Reira seemed to have improved a good deal, this other being was seemingly strong in the force as well, and Kira was protected by something or another as well. Odds weren't in her favor. And while crazy, she wasn't completely stupid. She needed to get out of this situation.

Ira finished siphoning the tendrils, leaving nothing but a thin scrawny line of a shadow which she easily stepped out from before making a break to leave this fight. Her steps and movements were enhanced by the Force, granting her a speed far greater than any human could hope to achieve.

[Saasha]

Kissira didn't take off after her. Oh how she wanted to, but she didn't. She had other things to worry about- like her fallen student. Rushing to his side, she immediately laid her hands on him and began pumping her power into him to bid his wounds to heal, a scowl twisting her face as she did. Ira had been the last person she had expected to see here. And go figure she would find out this way. How convenient... No matter now, she needed to get Kira somewhere safe after his wounds healed. She bid him to lie still as she worked.

At the same time, she looked to Raal a short distance away and called to him, "Are you injured?" She was grateful for his assistance and off-handedly wondered what the connection between he and Kira was. If any, for all she knew he could have been just passing by. Either way, even if Ira got away, she was grateful for his protectiveness.

[Kira Yamato]

Kira sighed as she left. He already had his gun and a few steady trained shots on her, but……he couldn’t do it. He lowered the gun feeling exhausted. For several reasons. He closed his eyes breathing in and out. Somehow he was still alive. He sighed a bit feeling that energy he had lost in the fight suddenly restored. Fortunately he hadn’t taken too much damage. He had avoided the worst parts of it. Just one or two cuts. One thing was for sure. He was definitely going to talk to Imai about her open door policy.

”Thanks for coming so quickly Raal. I didn’t think it’d be that quick.” he said turning his head towards Kissira. ”And what are you doing here Kissira? I thought you were staying in Hallwoton.” he said waiting until she gave the go ahead to before sitting back up. He surveyed the damage. Most of it had come from his earlier grenade fortunately. He sighed. He’d be seeing her again. He had a feeling about that. What happened then? He looked over at Raal also wondering if he was okay. Part of him also wondered how he got here so quickly. Would he even want to know?

Ira left so yea.

[Raal]

When the Darth left, both kinesis barriers disappeared, allowing Kira to drop from the psychic hold. He was about to blast her again with another kinesis wave, too. Ah well, another time then. Raal had made his own disappear because the danger had already passed. His personal barrier was a little weak anyway because of the draining.

"Are you injured?"

[/i]

"No, but thank you for the concern."

Raal went quiet when Kira stated about how quick he had arrived. That's right, he forgot to tell them that he could teleport. Stupid, stupid, stupid! Well, when the questions were asked, he'd have to answer, won't he? He watched the two interact with each other, curious about the relationship. Raal wasn't being nosy, because that would imply getting into their face and being an overall nuisance.

His tail waved slightly behind him, giving away his curiosity, even with his expression remaining passive.[/center][/size]

[Saasha]

Kissira removed her hands and nodded for him to get up. "I was going to but I decided to come and see if I could find some of the parts I needed but felt a disturbingly familiar presence as I approached the city... then sensed you... You are fortunate to be alive."" Her silver eyes flicked over him, searching for anything out of the ordinary, but was relieved to find nothing.

Lady Ira was not one to be trifled with in the least. This was a woman that she had looked up to and modeled her old habits after. Her only loyalties in the Sith had been her master... and that woman. And that was saying a lot considering how many orders from other, more powerful people she had blatantly ignored in her time.

She returned her gaze back to Raal as she stood and clipped her saber to her side, the sword on her back glittering as she moved. "Your name is Raal?" She bowed her head halfway in greeting. "Thank you for coming to assist. My name is Kissira, a recent acquaintance of, Kira's. Might I ask how you two know one another?" She could feel the curiosity floating of of his person as his tail flicked to the side.

[Kira Yamato]

Kira was finally able to sit up fortunatly. He sighed frowning. ”You kknow her?” he asked a thought hitting him. He put away his gun pulling out the communicator he had used earlier. ”Garrus. Kira here. I'm okay, but remind me to talk to Imai about her open door policy. It's gonna get everyone killed.” he said putting it away. Now that he had called in okay it should make everyone stand down. At least those he had alerted.


He put it back away glancing at Kissira. ”I also happen to be a member of the Resistance, though I plan to leave soon.” he explained to her. He'd have some explaining to do when he got back to base he was sure, but he'd deal with it then. At the very least she wouldn't kill anyone else unknowningly from the Resistance. Kira watched the two exchange information. He was sure that didn't apply to him. ”Well like you, we met in Hallowton, under.....worse circumstances.” he said. It was kinda a long story and one he didn't feel like recalling.

[Raal]

The psychic demon half-bowed to Kissira, a gesture of both hello and acknowledgement of presence. She was an ally, and as such, he stored her brain wave ping patterns into memory for later. If she called for his help, he would come, just like what happened with Kira moments ago.

Speaking of that....

"I believe you had quipped about how swiftly I had arrived."

He turned to face Kira, "I had forgotten to tell you that I am capable of long-ranged teleportation and psionic tracking. In short, I used my psychic power like a GPS, got a lock on your brain waves, and teleported here from Hallowton."

Raal's expression changed to what looked like embarrassment on his normally expressionless face, "If I did not get that lock, I would have ended up in the wall... or the floor...."

He didn't want to flashback to the first time he ended up in someone's ceiling from a teleport error, so he allowed the sentence to trail off.

[Saasha]

Kissira tapped her saber in inward aggravation though no such emotion showed outwardly, "Indeed, I know her. Darth Ira, the former Dark Lady of the Sith." She looked pointedly at Kira, hoping he would get the message that this other fellow need not be alerted to any more of the information hidden in her tone. "Suffice to say she is not one to be trifled with. But that doesn't matter now. She is gone for now, but that does not mean that she shant return. She doesn't like to let her prey get away so easily." There was that and also something within her told her that Ira had found fascination with her new student. As to his statement about his involvement with the Resistance she made no comment. Now was hardly the time to discuss the topic.

She huffed in quiet amusement at Raal's confession but said nothing. A psychic having trouble with his powers, how unfortunate for the world. More than once she had dealt with such beings... not fond memories in the least.

[Kira Yamato]

GPS lock? Kira shook his head. The kind of things he had learned about this place every day. He did look down though. She had completely outclassed what he had learned. Of course it was just basics, but still. Even then would basics skills be enough? Would being able to use a gun be enough? He had to supress a sigh as he reached out to collect that calm feeling again and just like that he was back. He did pick up on the fact she said not to pick at it further. Sith though.....That wasn't good. And Ira? That hadn't been even close to the name he had gotten.

Kira let out a small laugh just thinking of what might have happened had he had gotten the lock. It was no disrespect at Raal, but he quickly stiffled it. He frowned at Kissira's words as she spoke again. ”The for now part is what bothers me.” he said honestly. Could such a person be allowed to go free? It wasn't as if he had the power to do anything about it right now anyway. Although Kira had got that feeling from her long before she ever said anything. ”Anyway. Thanks for the help. Both of you.” he said offering them a small smile in return.
