Allya (pm to join, unless a Dathmori witch)

[Darth Banshee]

Darth Banshee was now preparing herself for the wars to come, she now was no longer with the Mandalorians. She was sith, she had always been sith she just finally admitted it to herself. She was after a crystal named Allya's Exile, it had greater cutting power than her own. She knew someday she would be fighting the mandalorains again, the die was cast and it was now inevitable. She took a sith stealth ship to the world, and landed it in a clearing. She was going to begin, exploring the world on speeder bike. She had only her light armour on, and her lightsaber, plus her sith amulet, and one red lightsaber crystal. She knew the witches did have reverence for this woman, after all they still used the book the law. Though this crystal was part of her past, hopefully one they rather forget. The one where she was a dark Jedi, and subjegated the world for woman. She had to be honest that bit did make her happy, as men usually did wield too much power. It would take her an hour, before she reached the resting place for the now dead woman. She wonder what the tomb would look like, it could be anything from a cave to an old stone ruin. She also knew this task would not be an easy one, as it may upset the witches, and they did have rancors here.

Her plan was to get to it, unseen and steal it swap it, and get out unnoticed.

She got as close as she could on speeder bike to go unnoticed, she then dismounted it. She then turned it round so it be facing towards her ship, then turned of the power supply. This made it drop to floor, she then started to bury it in the local flora. She did this as she did not want it found, whilst she was away from it. She then used the force, and turned it inward. She need to mask her force signature, as the witches would detect her presence other wise. She then moved closer to village where Allya's body rested, she saw a tree she could climb up. She began to climb up, so she could get a better vantage point of the village. She had no plans to move in till nightfall, as strong as she was the would be other force users in village, and try and take them all on would be suicide. She was just using her normal eye site, as anything with a lens, would reflect the light back at them, and give them a trace to her location. She could see fair bit of village, including the rancor pens where the herd mother kept them. They where something she did want to avoid, as rancors where very sturdy and aggressive creatures. She could also see something that did amuse her, someone selling a male slave to another woman. She wonder if she could sell them a few failed acolytes some day, who failed to perform. She took a swig water, and waited for nightfall from vantage point.

As night began to fall, she started to make her way down. She then began working out the position of the four moons, as she wanted to approach from the area with the least light. As she worked out which way she would approach the village, she began to try feel like she she was diving into water. The deeper she got, the less of her people could see, until she disappeared. Now she was under cloak of force stealth, she began to approach the village slowly. As even though she was cloaked, she was not taking any chances, as one slip and she would be surrounded by dathomiri witches. She was checking every where her feet went, she was not going to step on any twigs, or too soft ground to give a foot print. She was always made sure she was heading towards the darkest point, of the wall that surrounded the village. She needed to enter and leave the village unseen, and unhindered by them. This was kinda thrilling as well, she was trying to pull a fast one over whole tribe of force users. It was not long before she was against the wall, it was dark where she was, her next job was to get through the wall.

 

[Lord Ajihad]

These days, after becoming more active within the witches of Dathomir, there weren't many visitors to the planet that the Gray Assassin wasn't aware of. [member="Darth Banshee"] was no exception to this rule, as a pair of hawkbats he had enslaved to his control had detected her as soon as she had arrived. Muttering a quick incantation, he had seen through their eyes as she exited her stealth ship. A closer look had confirmed that this was Darth Banshee, a woman Ajihad had encountered before on business. Of course, that was when he was under a false identity. Still, he was easily able to recognize her on sight.​

​

He withdrew from the birds' minds, immediately heading towards his armory. He directed one of his marines to prepare his Infiltrator for takeoff. He wasn't sure what she was up to, but he sensed her intentions were impure. Either way, unwelcome guests on Dathomir typically didn't live for long. He would have the bats track her, as it would be common to find a pair of the aviary beasts following a living creature such as her looking for loose scraps of food.​

​

She wouldn't suspect a thing.​

​

As she entered the village under the guise of stealth, Ajihad was already there. A speedy flight had landed him just ahead of her course, his ship concealed with powerful Stygium crystals. He had concealed his force presence and covered his body in a black hooded robe. He looked like any other inhabitant of the village at that point, supposedly unaware of her presence. However, that could not be further from the truth. A weathered assassin, he had a knack for being able to sense the ripples in the force when someone was cloaked. Though never receiving any formal training in the white current, he had learned what it felt like when someone was trying to hide themselves. A feeling he was getting from looking at the wall not thirty yards from where he was standing. He could feel the disruption somewhere around that area, though he could tell it wasn't quite past the wall. He would have to bide his time patiently.​

She stood next to wall, she took deep breath as she prepared to phase herself through the wall. She did not notice the assassin near by, but then again in a moment there would be a wall between them. She then was ready and stepped through the wall into the village, as she did passed through she was always felt cold on the inside when she did this. As phasing did something to core heating system, possibly as you spread out on atomic level. She then made her way to the tomb of Allya, she was not far away from where the wall was. It was small building made out of stone, it had big old wooden doors to it, they where locked. She kept out of sight, despite using force to cloak her. She could see few dathomiri having a drink near by, talking about Allya philosophy. She crept round the back of it, and began to prepare herself again. This time she planned, to phase directly into the tomb, and then she had to plot her escape, once she found the crystal.

​

The assassin silently jumped onto the wall as she seemed to phase through it, his golden eyes gazing at the area where she was supposedly standing in. She was moving towards the burial place of Allya, probably one of the most sacred places on the planet to the witches. A frown played across his face beneath the dark hood. This had gone on long enough.​

​

He began weaving his hands into intricate patterns as she moved out behind the mausoleum, muttering phrases in a long-forgotten language. If she happened to look back at the hooded figure right at that moment, she'd likely think he just another nightbrother praying to some pagan god. In was unlikely she would hear him over the low clamor of the village anyways, but he talked quietly just to be sure.​

As she phased again through the wall, the room was dark and she need to look for the crystal. She then use the force to give her vision she needed to look for the crystal. It was beautiful a shiny red crystal animating the force from it, she also something at the front of the building that worried her, someone was using a powerful force skill. This had her worried, it was time to move she switched the crystals. Though hers was replica, and it would soon be discovered if anyone took a proper look. It was time for her to move out of here, before what eve summoned that at the front came for her. She ready herself to phase out of this building and to get out of here, before anything catches up with her.

​

As she again phased through the wall, he carefully eyed the structure. It wasn't too big, keeping in style with other Dathomiri building. Small and simple, that's the way they liked it.​

​

He closed his eyes. When he reopened them, their usual gold color was now an icy blue. Only visible to him, a whirlwind of the spirits he had bound to him began to spin around him. The power of dozens of Sith Lords filled him, giving him the power to perform the powerful feat of magic he was about to do.​

​

A dome of gilded energy appeared in a large diameter well-surrounding the building. It was Odojinya, an ancient and powerful Sith spell that would immobilize and weaken the target, all while stripping them of their connection to the force. It completely encircled the building, as well as the woman inside. With a sound like a thunderclap, it would contract at lighting speed. The energy was not corporeal; it could phase through the walls with ease. As soon as it came in contact with her it would wrap her up like a cocoon, the entire dome securing but one small target.​

She felt something rapidly came over her, she had no idea what is was, but she felt the force leaving her. The room was going dark, but she did see something through the force, just before it vanished. She lost her connection to force, it was not for the first time, and she even trained for these moments and other, so she did not panic. Though she took a deep breath, as what ever was started to sap her will. She had to act, and she had to act now, it was not what she had planned, but it would have to do. She wrist blaster to shoot the lock out of the door, and then she began to run for it, she shot the two dathomir witches with stun blast as she began to run. The blast where silent, as the wrist blaster had built in silencer. She had to get back to her speeder asap, before what ever this was took control of her completely.

 

[Lord Ajihad]

The assassin smirked at her will as she shot the lock on the door and tried to run outside. What she hadn't realized yet was that the spell had surrounded her and the building; trapping her inside like a cage. A tendril had already wrapped around her left leg, severing her connection from the force. That meant her stealth no longer worked, all the while her strength drained from her body.​

​

As she ran towards the door, another tendril wrapped around her right leg. The two crackling beams of energy would hold her legs in place, making her unable to run. All the while, more tendrils moved in to pin her entire body to the floor.​

​

As this happened, the witches had begun to realize what was going on. Every able-bodied man and woman in the village had started to encircle the tomb, albeit outside the cage of energy. Green witch-lights blazed in their hands as they prepared spells that would pulverize her if she somehow made it through the door.​

She felt things grabbing at her, she kept running, she could see villagers coming out. She had no choice but stun them too, she had to keep moving. She knew if she reached where the villagers where, they stop chasing her, then she fighting chance. She kept running, for what seemed an eternity but she wa making progress, she was going to get out of this. She was not going to die on this backwater planet. After a what seemed like an hour she was almost at the crowd, and if it was following her it would hitting them soon as well.........

 

[Lord Ajihad]

[member="Darth Banshee"]​

​

Ajihad frowned. The spell had severed her force connection and sapped her strength, but it had failed to immobilize her. To avoid spending excess energy, the assassin minimized the spell to just the one tendril that had wrapped around her leg. Her connection would still be severed and such, but it would no longer be chasing her.​

​

His knees wobbled for a second after releasing the spell. The energy he had expended was not his own, but the sheer amount of it that had used his body as a conductor still made him nauseous for a few seconds. Force walking was something not be trifled with.​

​

As she moved to exit the structure, he thought of what his next move may be. As he realized his options were greatly expanded due to her lack of the force, an idea struck.​

​

Closing his eyes, he used the force to see. He observed as the crowd waiting outside the door prepared their spells, about to pounce on her with dark magicks as soon as she appeared. He looked inside the tomb, where Darth Banshee had almost made it to the door when he sneered. It wouldn't be quite that easy.​

​

He would direct at her an attack of the mind. It was a powerful dose of force fear, one of the most powerful mind attacks possible. It would plague her with fear so terrible that her vision would be replaced with intense visions of her worst fears imaginable. Her body would freeze up, her heart rate quickening to dangerous speeds. Prolonged for long enough, it would no doubt drive her insane. As his hands moved to intricate patterns to prolong the spell, he would jump off the wall and start moving towards the mausoleum.​

 

[Darth Banshee]

[member="The Gray Assassin"]

She felt the power of tendril weaken, as she did she barged into one witches, and at same time something was trying to attack her mind. It was primevil in thought, some darkest fears where manifesting themselves. She began to panic, and as she did the she began shooting randomly, the what witches did come out took cover. Then she ran over one of them the tendral, latched onto her instead. She was already stunned and could not put any resistance. She was free for a moment, she had force comeback to her, but her mind was still under attack. She had to run from this place, she could not work out why but she did. The force was back in her, and she began to run at speed, towards her speeder bike. She was running for her life, from something she was unsure off, but she was regain strength now.

 

[Lord Ajihad]

[member="Darth Banshee"]​

​

As the Darth somehow managed to lose the tendril, Ajihad switched tactics. It was impressive how she had managed to resist the fear so far, but she would not have the physical nor mental capacity to run for long. He pressed a button on his wrist, calling for a Marine backup. They would arrive soon, but not soon enough to actively participate in the ongoing battle. For now, it was just the assassin on his own.​

​

As she got close to the bike Ajihad would draw his energy bow. He began firing bolts of purple energy at her, the force guiding them to hit their mark. She would have been in hysteria from the short burst of fear, hopefully making her actions erratic and increasing the chance of her screwing up.​

​

She would be his prisoner soon enough.​

 

[Darth Banshee]

[member="The Gray Assassin"]

She felt the her gaining some of her mind back, as she regained her strength in force. She felt something in nearby fire at her, she turned instinctively lite up her lightsaber deflected the incoming shots. He was her attack, it was force user of some sort, with some powers she was not aware of until today. He won this day, but she will with any luck run and live to fight another day. She was still scared, but fear can fuel a sith. Though she used to repower up her speeder bike, and as she did it popped up off the ground and she jumped on to it. She began to set off back to her ship, fear and the adrenaline was pumping through her body. Though she was now trying sense him through the force, not so much she could attack, more so she could defend against him. He was too strong for her for now, and she just need to escape and figure out what that was and how to counter it, or master it herself.

 

[Lord Ajihad]

[member="Darth Banshee"]​

​

He would continue firing at her until she hopped on what seemed to be a speeder bike. He narrowed his eyes. She was trying to escape.​

​

He stuck out a gloved hand. The molecules in her speeder's fuel tank would immediately begin to excite, then heat energy building up to over a hundred degrees in less than two seconds. The heat would cause the volatile substances within to ignite, blowing up the speeder in a very big way. For the poor Darth it would be like stepping on a substantially larger than average land mine.​

​

However, Ajihad wasn't quite done yet. He would leap towards, covering massive distance one huge jump. He drew his lightsabers in mid-air, spinning both weapons around like helicopter blades. He would come down upon her like a wraith, one sword keeping hers in check while the other one moved to cut her hand off. A small price to pay really, considering she broke into one of the most revered places on Dathomir.​

 

[Darth Banshee]

[member="The Gray Assassin"]

She was watching his moves, and then she realized what he was up to, he was going to blow up her speeder. She was sat on it at the time, she one thing for it. As it was moving towards her ship, keeping her balance was hard as she had been weakened. As it was about to go boom, she jumped of it. As she did she stretched out her arms, and created a force protection bubble, the shards of metal bounced of it, leaving her unharmed. As she landed her would be assassin, jumped onto her bubble. She now could see him, and she could run or she could fight. He just hit a brick wall, made out the force.

​

As Ajihad descended, he suddenly sensed a barrier being erected. He slowed his jump just enough not to break his legs, but at the same time let loose a pair of throwing knives at the Darth. They were crafted from yorik coral, passing through the force bubble with ease. He was at such close range that he doubted she would be able to dodge the knives all while keeping the barrier erected. The knives were both coated with a potent tranquilizer, enough to drop her like a rock in under a minute with a mere scratch.​

​

In the meanwhile, three Marine dropships would begin descending into the atmosphere.​

 

[Darth Banshee]

[member="The Gray Assassin"]

The knife came at her, and struck her force barrier. As it did she felt the barrier weaken, but if it was not there the knife would of hit her. As the knife deflected of course, it still pass through her barrier. This was not just some witch he was sith of some sort, she was only getting of this planet if she ran for it. She was not that far from the ship now, she started to use her sense to look at the man armour, as she ran for it. She would have chance to attack, before anything like that force sapping ability was used again. Though she was trying to get sense of what his armour was made of, and where everything was in it. She also need to stop him throwing anymore daggers at her, she knew was she was aiming for, and he would not like it if was unprotected........

 

[Lord Ajihad]

[member="Darth Banshee"]​

​

Ajihad scowled as the knife was deflected by her shield. He had thought that the Yorik coral would be sufficient for the task at hand, but he was evidently wrong. He would have to reevaluate his arsenal when he got back to Prakith. In the meantime, he would have to figure out some other way to apprehend her.​

​

He was beginning to run out of tricks up his sleeve. However, now that she was running her barrier was down. That opened him up to a whole other plethora of opportunities. The agile assassin was easily able to keep up with her as she ran through the woods. The question was, what was his next move?​

​

He extended his hand, this time unleashing a whole new trick. Instead of applying heat like he had done to her speeder, he would instead rapidly withdraw it from her body using Cryokinesis. Within seconds her body would become a block of ice unless she knew a technique to avoid the attack. Her entire being would essentially flash-freeze, arresting all of her mental and bodily functions.​

​

In the meantime, the Marine gunships were arriving on site. They would track the Sith's movement from a distance, preparing to eliminate any means of escape she might have.​

​

She was quickly becoming cornered.​
