Logray followed Kenshin and Jordan along the Gungan city. Peering inside domes, though it was hard to make out, Logray could see shapes... horrific, dismembered shapes.

"The Sith have done much to the gungans. There are bodies everywhere. We must find a way in quickly, or more will die."

Logray sensed a sudden burst of suffering and pain, and then it went calm once again.

"Another has died."

"Let's dig then..."

Kenshin found a spot on the ocean floor where the ground was a bit softer than the rest of the seabed. He then gathered the Force and began digging a small "U" tunnel.

Jordan realized what Kenshin was doing and swan down to help him. He felt he gungan die and promised himself that there would not be another. He dug as fast as he could, using all his muscles from climbing vines and using the Force. Jordan lifted the sand out of their hole using the Force.

Kenshin began to widen the tunnel a bit when they reached about half way. He made sure the roof of the tunnel was at least a few feet under the edge of the field.

Jordan started the digging upwards. He used the Force to pull the sand that fell down out of their whole. Soon he and Kenshin hit something hard...

(OOC:A point of Order Ms Horn. Otoa Gunga is entirely sealed by sheilds. Not doubting that there are extra internal sheild systems, but you will find that any escape is sealed until the chem wears off after about a week as the main external shield systems are locked in that manner and the chems also prevent them being shut off even though their power source might be cut. And finally gungans, like moncals, can if panicked drown.

And those padawans, note that i'm pretty sure the city is floating bouyant in the middle of the sea, so no digging would reach the city. Even if that were possible the shields themselves would still have to be gotten around...)

OOC: A description of the city says something about locap branches. So is it grown on a tree?

OOC: I don't know anything about locap branches. I read somewhere that they are made by doing something with the planets core and a plant of some sorts. But I guess we need to find a new way in.

Adrian’s eyes snapped open, and the world swan back into focus.

He was lying on his bed, in his room at the Academy. Through the open window to his side he could hear screams.

Startled, he sat bolt upright, and quickly moved to the window. The screams were getting louder.

Searching the Force, Adrian fought to calm the rising panic that was growing within him. He stood still; his eyes, unseeing, looking out over the grounds.

He could feel the terror of the Naboo, running for their lives in fear; from what, he couldn’t tell. He could feel the power and strength of the Jedi, acting as pillars of support for the citizens. And he could feel the Dark Side.

It hit him like a brick, and Adrian was struck with sudden disbelief as he wondered how he could be feeling what he was feeling. The dark Force was here, in Theed. As the panic threatened to rise up inside him again, however, Adrian’s training and duty as a Jedi Knight took over.

Not needing more meditation with the Force at that time, he pulled himself back to the present, and walked quickly around his bed to the door. He pulled on his cloak as he moved out into the corridor, stumbled slightly down the hall as he shod his feet, then strapped on his belt as he rounded the first corner. Seconds later, he was in the Entrance Hall.

Several people looked up as he entered. Their faces were frightened and confused, and the majority seemed to be Naboo who had come here seeking sanctuary from the dark warriors. Adrian wondered how long the attack had been going on, if there had already been time for refugees to run to the Jedi for help. How could he have slept through this?

He surveyed the rest of the hall quickly, noticing several young Jedi milling around uncertainly, unsure as to what they were supposed to be doing. Adrian was just about to ask them what was happening, when a sudden gasp from one of the Naboo caught his attention.

Some people, seeming to believe they would be here for some time, had set up a holoprojector in the corner of the hall, and had placed blankets around it to sit on and watch. Adrian recognised the studio in the background as that of a local news station, but the people sitting in front of the holocamera, he didn’t know.

The sound of a lightsabre humming gently in the background, and the image of an unseen humanoid standing in front of the camera, however, Adrian did recognise. Knowing what was coming, he turned from the holo instantly, and motioned to the young Jedi he had seen earlier.

“You three, come with me,” all traces of panic or doubt had vanished from Adrian’s voice, even though he felt them inside. He had to lead these Jedi now, and his manner had to speak nothing but confidence.

The three Jedi, slightly uncertain at first, followed him out of the Academy. They set off at a run across the grounds, quickly finding Adrian's speeder and jumping in. Adrian shot it into life, and they sped off towards the holo station.

The ball of force destruction had grown to a considerable size now. Lightning crackled and danced along the outside of the ball, created by the immense condensed energy. Sweat sliding down his forcehead, Malice looked about the city.

His gaze fell upon speeders, which through the force he found that jedi where on them. Grinning, Malice decided it was time. The ball was let loose. It's giant mass flying quickly after the three. Going faster then the speeder, and guided by the force, Malice made the ball fly ahead of the jedi.

*Time to play jedi*

The ball took a swift turn, colliding into a building. The explosion afterwards rocked the city. The building being engulfed with flames. With The bottom of the building destroyed, no support structures were there to support the mass. It tilted then began it's decent towards the ground, right infront of the jedi. The building threatened to crush them.

Grinning, Malice went to one knee. That attack had taken a lot out of him, his energy quicky diminished. No matter, the sith would win this day. Unclipping and igniting his saber, Malice made his way down the building. He would continue the destruction he had just started. Many died in that building, and many more would join them.
