Isabsel kept running, her hand clutching her side as she continued to do so. The rain continued to batter down on her heavily, and she nearly slipped off the cliff. Isabsel glanced behind her, trying to see if she can see her pursuers. Then she saw a couple flashes of white before then the shouting. "You can't run forever deserter! You traitor!". That was enough for Isabsel to keep running, despite the wound she was dealt. Up ahead appeared to be an abandoned faciltiy of some kind. It looked like it had been here for years, just untouched by any outsider. Perhaps this was a very old Galactic Empire facility. Isabsel ran up to the door, of the building trying to find panel she can try to open up and try to get the door open. Power was most likely out, so she had to try to at least give it enough juice for the door to open.

The voices got closer as lightning flashed over head, her fingers trying desperately to pull off the panel. Isabsel grew frustrated as she took her vibro-ax and pried it open, only making her wound worse. Then she began to try and hotwire the door open. Highly dangerous because of the rain but Isabsel had no choice. Footsteps approached and then stopped. Isabsel closed her eyes as she stopped, turning around, looking at her sisters. Her fellow clones, all apart of her Order. Each of them wanting to kill her.

"Seems you weren't fast enough." one of them said "You're such a disappointment, Isabsel. Had the potential to do so much. But now you have the dishonor of being our first deserter. Command was right to be suspicious of you, ever since you came back from your Nar Shadaa mission. Something corrupted you there. Turned you away from our true purpose. To exterminate the Jedi and Sith. All force users in the galaxy. And you tried to let us believe you died on your latest mission to Vjun."

Isabsel had no words at first to respond to this. Instead she stood there, vibro-ax in one hand, her other holding her wound.

"Nothing to say to explain yourself?"

"...I was shown....a different glimpse of our enemies. The Jedi...aren't.."

"Mind tricks. You have been tricked." There was a sense of relief or maybe the pursuer was just coping."Brainwashed by the Jedi. We can fix you, Isabsel. This isn't you!"

Isabsel just winced in pain as she kept standing her ground, as lightning struck the building, almost throwing Isabsel onto the ground. But that surge caused the door to open briefly, allowing Isabsel to roll into the building as the door closed behind her. The facility was trashed and covered in dust and webs. Isabsel limped deeper into the building, as her hand was now covered with her blood. She needed bacta or bandages. Normally such wounds wouldn't phase an Einzvien Haemoculi. But her sisters were smart, to pack fire grenades. One of them exploded close to Isabel, dousing the left side of her torso in flames. One of the very few thing that can cause their kind pain and suffering. Already weakened, her sisters took turns adding blows to that charred side, their blades cutting deep to try and weaken her further.

Her kind can still bleed out. Isabsel continued to limp forward trying to find any sort of medical supplies. It wouldn't be long before her sisters come inside. Isabel needed help. So she pulled out that communicator and used it.
"Jedi..I..could use your help right now. I'm on Eadu..being hunted. I'd..liked to be rescued now if you can spare the time..."

"You are doing well Padawan Decoria. But you can't keep this amount of pressure up, it is okay to rest, you know."

"Rest comes when I am dead or there is peace." Lily stated in a cold tone, grabbing a towel and wiping the sweat from her body. It was a hard morning of training and Lily had been pushing herself hard against a training droid to ensure that she held some mastery over the more advanced techniques of the Lightsaber Forms.

She knew that the droid wouldn't allow her to continue training, Briana wouldn't let Lily push herself beyond the Echani's limits. It was smart but something that Lily had always found deeply frustrating since it meant that she had to put up with an underwhelming finish to her training when she was sticking around Naboo and using the sanctioned training methods of the Order of Shiraya.

Grabbing her water bottle, she drank heavily from it and saw that she had gotten a message. Pulling up the message, Lily saw who it was. "End training programme. Tell Master Briana that I am needed on a mission and will update her when I can." The droid confirmed the command as Lily grabbed her belongings. She needed to change and get her ship. Isabsel was in trouble and Lily wasn't going to make the other Echani wait any longer than absolutely necessary.

The ship pulled out of hyperspace, Lily was dressed in her Jedi attire and equipped with her Lightsabers, if her assumptions on there being trouble were correct then Lily figured that bringing her weapons would be something handy to have with her. Sending a message to Isabsel through the private channel, it was important to get an update and location ping for Lily to reach her.

"Hey Isabsel, I'm here. Got to Eadu as soon as I could. I need a ping to know where you are so I can get to you from where I am now, orbiting the world. Stay safe and I won't be long now." Lily stated, there was concern in her voice, she was not sure how Isabsel would be doing and getting here wasn't the most ideal since Lily had been elsewhere so travelling had taken time. Time that more than Lily had wanted to spend in trying to get to her friend.

Isabsel continued to limp through the facility, still in pain from her burns and the damage done to her left side. Despite her best efforts to try and stop the bleeding, a small trail of her blood was visible. She was rummaging through some old dusty overgrown cupboards and crates when the message came back in. The woman looked at the message and a small wave of relief washed over her. The Jedi was here and true to her word. Isabsel leaned against a wall, responding to the communication.

"I never told you my name Jedi..at least I don't think I have.." she responded in a pained tone "You spying on me?" That last part seemed to be said in a more lighthearted tone. Isabsel then winced as she then pinged her location, setting it to ping Lily every couple minutes. "I pinged you my location Jedi. I'm in an abandoned Galactic Empire facility. You're going to have to cut your way inside. But be warned. My sisters are hunting me and..are quite armed. There is three of them."

Isabsel then continued to limp deeper into the facility "I'm trying to find bacta or kolto, or something. They did wound..me severely. For once I am experiencing quite alot of pain.."

Locking onto the signal, Lily made sure to direct the ship to get as close as possible. She might have to fight her way in but if she could get to Isabsel as quickly as she could then there was a chance that Lily could help the other Echani out and minimalize the fighting with her sisters. Fighting family was never going to be something that could be considered easy.

"Good to know about your sisters, don't worry I am armed too. As for your name, can't expect me not to have researched your group after our first meeting surely." Lily mentioned with a giggle, trying to keep the spirits light for Isabsel. It was easier to stay positive and survive than lingering on dire thoughts that attempted to intrude the mind. "Okay, well I should be with you soon and this ship has a medical bay I believe... It's a new ship, still getting used to everything."

It was a ship she had won in a raffle so the understanding of what this ship had was still something that Lily was getting used to. Especially since she was going to need to sort things out in terms of how she wanted it to look and be styled as.

Getting in close, she set the autopilot to hover and opened the ramp. Lily then exited the cockpit to the ramp. Looking down, she could feel the heavy rain and the intense atmosphere of the weather upon her. "Why the rainy world?" Lily muttered to herself with a chuckle as she leaped down to the surface and softened the landing with the Force.

Igniting her main Lightsaber, Lily's body was illuminated in the bright cyan light, Lily moved slowly as she searched for the door to the facility. Stabbing her Lightsaber into the door, Lily took the time to slowly carve out the entrance for herself. "I'm in, heading your way now. Keep me update on anything that happens." Lily messaged Isabsel as she became to rush through the hallways.

"I suppose I should be flattered that I was enough..of a threat..to warrant research.." Isabsel replied in a pained tone. A part of her though, a small part was seemingly glad that Lily did know her by name. That she was at least somewhat on the fellow Echani's mind in some form or way. But Isabsel seemingly shifted back to her more professional tone as she responded back to Lily. "Your ship has a medical bay, that's a relief. I think I can hold out til you get here..then. I'm not sure...how much blood I have lost so far."

Isabsel seemingly stopped limping as she held her weapon firmly, taking cover behind a stack of rusted old Imperial crates. She occassionally looked out into the hall before, then responding again to Lily "Oh you're inside..that was fast. Listen just follow the trail of blood, maybe you'll get here before my sisters do." Isabsel gave a small smile before then hearing something roll towards her. Isabsel glanced over, her eyes widening. An activated flame grenade.

"Kri-" Then over the comms, an explosion.

Lily didn't comment that she was Echani so she researched on everyone she fought, it was how she could be better prepared for the next encounter and make sure that she fought better and more threatening each time. Lily saw it as her duty as an Echani but also as a warrior to make sure that all her enemies were treating with a similar level of respect and understanding. Especially since it would improve her chances of survival when she eventually went into combat.

When she heard the comment on being fast, Lily chuckled, "well, helps when you have a Lightsaber. Not many doors are designed to resist them." Lily commented. "Well hold on a bit longer, I know some first aid to stem the bleeding at least." Lily was by no means an expert in healing, especially not capable with the Force in healing, however, she knew enough on how to survive. Her aunt had ensured that. So Lily was determined to get Isabsel stable before the made any moves to the ship.

Then the comms cut with an explosion and Lily cursed. She was not a person who cursed much but it was the sisters and that meant that Lily was behind. She used the Force and sped her movements through the facility, searching for Isabsel as fast as she could. It was a benefit to have the Force so she could move faster but it also meant that she needed to be cautious about not running past the other Echani and her siblings. Lily was keeping an eye out as she rushed around.

She wasn't going to let Isabsel fall victim to her family, Lily refused to allow the other Echani suffer that fate.

It wouldn't be hard to spot where everyone else was. In fact the sounds of fighting and the smell of burnt flesh might have given it away. If not that then the small fire that have seemed to have erupted in a room deeper into the facility. Upon Lily's arrival, she would see four figures. Three of them fighting one in the blazes of an inferno that didn't seem to be dying out soon. Isabsel was fighting one handed, her vibro-ax connecting against the others. But it was clear that she was at a massive disadvantage. She was a skilled warrior in her own right yes, but she would have been hard pressed to beat three skilled attackers even when she had both of her arms free. Not to mention her sisters knew her weaknesses. Isabsel could never harm her sisters, the people she trained with. Her kin. She couldn't bring herself to do it. All of her "attacks" were merely trying to disarm them, to get them to stop. Nothing lethal in the slightest.

It proved to be Isabsel's undoing. One of her sisters deflected her strike leaving Isabsel open. Then her other sister swung her weapon and sliced off Isabsel's right arm cleanly off. It didn't hurt no, not until the third sister kick Isabsel partially into the flames, causing the woman to scream out in pain as she dropped onto the floor, and began to try and put out her flames. Isabsel was on her knees now, blood now gushing out of her new wounds, and now missing a limb that had been cauterized by the burns, nullfying her regenerative abilities.

"...You're beaten. Come witth us to answer for your betrayal to our Order." One of them said.

Isabsel glanced behind them all, to look at Lilly, simply giving a shrug of her left shoulder while spitting out some blood. "I think..my sisters..have a much bigger problem now..."

The three of them turned to look at Lily

"Jedi...you must be the one that tricked Isabsel!" one of them said.

When Lily arrived, she saw that Isabsel had been disarmed and shoved into the flames. With a wave of her hand, Lily used the Force to cause the flames to dissipate. Looking over to the three siblings, Lily twirled the Lightsaber in her hand with a reluctant sigh on her lips, Lily looked over them and assessed the threats that they would cause her.

"I merely demonstrated what the Jedi should be and informed her that visiting Eshan is something that every Echani should do. Especially since it would provide a better understanding of the culture and language you use in such a torturous manner." Lily stated in a cold tone, not providing any warmth to those who were so callous and harmful to someone who was family. That was something Lily believed to be the most severe of crimes.

Walking into the room, Lily made sure that she demonstrate her natural strength and the raw power that she had, ready to use and ready to fight. "Leave now, I don't wish to fight or cause any of you harm. Isabsel wishes to leave, that is a right she has. Unless you are here to admit that she is nothing more than a slave to your Masters. Denied rights that even the Jedi Order provide their disciples." There was the battle worn glint in Lily's steel gaze as she prepared herself for a fight.

Lily doubted that she had any chance leaving here without a fight.

Upon closer inspection of the supposed sisters of Isabsel, Lily might be able to realize that they all look alike. Identical faces and bodies. Clones. Isabsel didn't say much but there was a look of appreciation on her face with the flames were put out. The sisters held their ground, holding their cortosis weaved vibro melee weapons in their hands. They were trained to fight Jedi, their confidence high especially since they had the numerical superiority against Lily.

"Nothing more than a slave? We are all soldiers in a war against all Force Users. It is our duty to eventually snuff you all out for what you put the galaxy through. Jedi, Sith, no matter your affilation. All must perish." One of them said

"Isabsel abandoned that sacred mission. She must be brought back for reducation and be court martialed for her disobedience." said another

"You are outnumbered Jedi. You have bewitched our beloved sister with your poisonous ideals. Turned a promising warrior against evil, into one of your puppets. We are her kin, her family. Sometimes you need to be rough with them to set the message straight, especially when they strayed from the path." said the supposed leader "You do not care about Isabsel like how we do, who have been with her since the day of our creation. Trained with her. You're only here to retrieve her for the information she may tell you because you poisoned her mind."

The three of the clones simply then stood in a defensive stance, them seemingly trying to form a bit of a shield wall infront of Isabsel. "Come Jedi. You won't be able to take all of us on. You will die here."

"A soldier has control over their actions, they are allowed to do as they are pleased. They are not forced to kill, brainwashed into submission." Lily breathed in deeply. Noting that all of them seemed too similar to be siblings. Others might think that was just an Echani trait but Lily knew better, her eyes observed more and there was certain traits and movements that each did that was too similar. A connection that was a step further than simple sisters.

Looking over to the supposed leader, Lily shook her head, "being outnumbered is very different to being out skilled." Lily stated as she took a step closer. "You claim that I bewitched her, but all I did was talk. All I did was demonstrate the acts that I believe are crucial to uphold as a Jedi. If that turned one of your promising warriors against you, perhaps that should be a demonstration that the cult you follow is not as holy as they claim." Lily's steel gaze flickered to each one. "I might care for Isabsel the manner in which you do, but I respect her more. I respect the decisions she makes and I have always let her follow the path she wanted to follow."

"You wish to cage her, restrict her potential and prevent her from travelling the galaxy and seeing what beauty lays out there for her to see." Lily stated as she held the crossguard Lightsaber in one hand and prepared a defensive stance. "Whether she wants to fight against Force Users or not, that is a choice that is hers to make. If you prevent her from making that choice, you enslave her to your path, that is an injustice that I refuse to allow."

"So let us see if you can match my skill." Lily smirked as she darted forward and began to strike towards the clones testing the defences of the trio and see if there is a way to disable them in a manner where they could flee swiftly without permanently harming Isabsel's cloned sisters.

Isabsel managed to make herself stand up and limp to the side of the wall, to move out of the engagement as Lily dashed forward to clash blades with the clones. She winced in pain of the burning sensation on her torso and her left arm as she watched the duel ensue. One of the clones took the brunt of Lily's strike, her weapon clashing with Lily's saber. It was when Lily will see that the clones also wielded cortosis weaved vibro weapons. But the clone was being pushed back, her feet slowly giving away ground. That's when the other two would attempt to strike at Lily as well. One would attempt to slash at the Echani's hind legs, hoping to bring the amazonian to her knees. The other would attempt to try to run her weapon straight through Lily's stomach from behind. While Lily may be looking for ways to disarm them, to not permanently harm them, the same was not true for the three clones.

Created for one purpose. To kill. Without mercy. Isabsel wanted to help out Lily,but in this weakened state, she would be more of a hinderance rather than a benefit. Right now, she just focused on Lily, hoping the Jedi can prevail.
