Jordan saw what the Sith was doing to the other Jedi. Jordan couldn't let this happen to someone who was protecting Logray for him. It should be Jordan getting choked not the other man. This wasn't the other man's battle, it was Jordan's.

Jordan ignited his lightsaber with the normal *snap-hiss* that went with it. He took the black blade and he stabbed it right into the Sith's right thigh.

Lupercus saw the attack coming but was too slow getting out of the way. He began to jump as he heard the light sabre coming, and as he flipped away he felt something clip his thiegh. He grimaced as he landed which sent a short wave of pain through his leg. Looking down as he stood up he saw a small slice wound. It was only superficial damage, but it still had hurt before Lupercus was able to banish the pain from his mind and body.

His eyes narrowed as he looked down at the padawan, powering down his sabres and locking them into his belt. Smiling sinisterly, he reached half into his backpack and removed his Tenloss Disruptor Rifle, already charging. Raising its stock to his shoulder and took aim with a half full charge. The padawan in his sights, Lupercus fired.

After catching his breathe, Hurricane noticed the sith look at his thigh. Jordan had bearly made it, but that was enough. Hurricane saw the sith than pull out a rifle, and he knew what was his intentions. Hurricane took off using his speed to the fullest. With a ram hard enough to knock Jordon out of the way and him in. Hurricane recieved the shot in his left arm, letting out a cry of pain.

"GAAHHH!!"

Hurricane dropped to his back, clenthing his injured arm.

Lupercus frowned as he hit the other Jedi. Had he let the rifle charge up a moment longer, the jedi would have disolved instead of just getting a big wound. Frowning, Lupercus pulled out a medium blaster pistol and, having replaced the rifle in his quick access back holster, took aim at the skywalker who jumped in the way.

With malice in his eyes, and anger in his heart, Lupercus fired off a volley of shots at the Jedi, all aimed at his arms and legs.

Zeta was somewhat familiar with Coruscant, he had been to the planet a few times, often discovering new bits of information during each new visit.

Patiently he waited for Han to answer, but he was met with silence. He supposed it was not easy for a newly lost soul to travel from planet to planet, Skywalker would reply in time.

For the time being, Zeta would not sit around and wait, he had work to do.

Given his clearance to land the Zabrak made his way to the nearest spaceport location.

Leaving Han's body behind, Zeta exited his ship, cloaking his force presence once he got out into the open, heading toward any area that was dark.

Sticking close to the alleyways, he headed for his newest location...

Being skewered was a situation that Perrin found.. distasteful..

(grin)


He smiled with amusement when the lights went out as the Jedi attempted to hide themselves using the force.

The idea seemed rather asinine to Perrin but he simply shrugged.

If the Jedi wished to use the force to mask the force, who am I to complain.

In any event, Perrin did not move, the low hum of his activated blade stirring in his ears. Along with periodic explosions from wall panels here and there as well as the ceiling.


Perrin did not use his abilities to mask himself nor did he attack at once. Rather he sat there and let the Jedi come to him for his concentration was...elsewhere.


Somewhere.. high..


The Jedi eventually took stock of their courage and attacked....which did not really surprise the TNSO member.


The Jedi are supposed to attack? but his mental exertion took him no further in the light observation of Jedi theology.


His saber swung back and forth from side to side blocking the swings but only barely for his arm was tiring against their force-enhanced onslaught.

He did not use the force to enhance his own strength in this area for his attention was rivited elsewhere.


Keep them at bay!!! Keep them at Bay!


But the Jedi were persistant and he gave ground slowly.


Which ended up playing into Perrin's hands for you see...



.... the damaged ceiling material and lighting fixtures suddenly broke free from their sparking wires (with a little help from Perrin) and fell down upon the Jedi.


With an exuberant laugh.. Perrin backed up, wanting to finish the Jedi while they are distracted by being beamed upside the head but his goal was not them..

Reluctantly turning from the Jedi's predicament (though making sure they were at least partially immobilized) he resumed his course deeper into the archives.

A quick motion of his saber opened a rear door, exposing a rather short narrow hall and away Perrin ran.


The Holocron Chambers!!

A considerable amount of time had passed since Leia had killed Han, and sensed the danger and battles raging in the fight for the holocron chambers.

Perrin had succeeded in evading the Jedi who had desperately been attempting to defend the holocron chambers.

Leia had known that the Jedi Padawans, despite her trust in them and their own best efforts, would most likely only delay Perrin's arrival at the doors of the holocron chambers. But knowing of this delay, she had used it to her advantage...

Leia knew the Academy, actually most of the entire city of Theed, like the back of her hand. As such, she knew there were alternate routes and entrances into the holocron chambers. Routes that would take her unnoticed around the fight between Perrin and the Jedi, and into the chambers where she, herself could intercept Perrin.

Leia had chosen the ventilation system as her means of getting into the chambers. Her small frame allowed her to scurry through the dusty, confining shafts with relative ease. She had been forced to go one floor above the chambers to access a shaft that would take her inside of the chambers, and the trip down had not been so easy. The shaft was vertical most of the way down and Leia was forced to inch her way down.

However despite the difficulties, Leia was in a horizontal shaft running along the ceiling when the shaft trembled. Perrin had just disposed of the Jedi trying to hold him off. She finished removing the grate covering a shaft outlet in the ceiling just as Perrin jogged into the hall. She let the grate fall to the floor with a loud metallic crash, and then she slipped headfirst out of the opening. Executing a flip in midair to allow her to land on her feet, she landed in a catlike crouch in the middle of Perrin's intended path, facing him, a saber already in her hand at the ready.

She had made no attempt to mask her presence. The Sith probably had known she would soon intercept him.

"And where do you think you are going?" She demanded, slightly out of breath.

Chikami had been far to passive for long enough these padawans in front of him needed to be brought to their knees crying out in agony. "I will bring agony to them like they have never felt before. I will put the fear of the sith back into their beating hearts."

Grabbing his dagger Chikami leapt down from the roof. Using the darkside to increase his spead many time over Chikami charged the young jedi who just got shoved out of the way by his 'friend'. Chikami swung the dager threatning to slice the young jedi to ribbons.

OOC: Erm...Kenshin didn't use the Force to hide his Force signature. That would be stupid. He melded his Force energy with the energy of his surroundings, which in this case is probably the books and such...:| But since the story has continued, I'll guess I'll let it go.

IC:

Kenshin backflipped, narrowly being missed by a chunk of ceiling. The padawan quickly turned to see if Ky-Vin was okay.

OOC: Don't confuzzle me Katarn... just go wit the flo...and follow the fro..


IC:


Perrin of course didn't have time to stop and converse...and as soon as the Jedi Master plopped down from whereever she'd been keeping herself and heard her breathless question..


Yes, Perrin.. you leave the ladies most breathless..

He grinned, though not slowing, and answered:


"..Over you.."



and he did..


As if I'd stop...


Making a running jump, he dove right over her head narrowly avoiding her saber at the ready. Making a rolling land on the hard surface caused him to grunt somewhat. The momentum from the rolling off his back while being propelled forward allowed him to come back up onto his feet rather unsteadily (the motion was so fast he almost tripped).

Exiting the hall as the Master was acting, his saber ignited and he sliced a coolant line (one of many) running down the walls of the Chamber structure.

The room was rather insanely cold....

Damned Holocran Storage..


The area began to fill with a type of smoke/fog/cloud/whatever.. from the coolant line.


Knew I should have dressed warmer..
