Mission to the Darkside (Kixi)

[Kixi Rajki]

As the two Jedi descended back down the turbolift, Kixi had George pretend he was cuffed up again. The two would initially walk towards the shuttle area again, Kixi pretending that she was taking him back to the garbage and recycling asteroid. As they edged closer to that area, Kixi had a quick glance around to make sure no one was paying any attention to them.

"Okay now, veer off to over there."

The two Jedi quickly made their way to a dark area with not too many people around. In fact there was no one to be seen. Weird as Kixi would've thought there would be at least someone.

"This corridor leads to the a small area, from there another smaller narrower corridor should lead to a smaller turbolift that should lead straight to Ravern's chambers"

As both Jedi made their way through, it was exactly as Kixi had described. She stopped a moment before entering the lift.

"I find it bizarre that no one is around here. Not even a guard at the lift door. Regardless if there is a guard on the other side where his chambers are, I would've thought that there would be a guard here too. Seems a bit easier Master. Also that ensign, she looked very young. The uniform made her look older and yet she looked a little young. For an elite officer from X-11 anyway. She couldn't have been more than 15 years old if you ask me."

Kixi shook her head a little concerned.

"And I was about to hit her across the back of the head to knock her out. I reckon I would've fractured the young girl's skull. Not a good thought. To me she looked a tad too young for the Republic to send out here on her own. Anyway something seems a little not right. No one around here near Ravern's chambers, no guard and a very young X-11 elite soldier. Master before we go up this lift what are your thoughts? If Ravern is there, I think it's now time to start using the Force. It is the only way to reveal any real danger. I don't think it will matter if he detects us now?"

Kixi starred George in the eye. She wasn't certain on what to do next, she felt very unsure of herself and now was a better time than ever to use her master's guidance and judgement.

As they exited the turbo life they returned across the area, still unnoticed by the officers surrounding then. As Kixi looked around ensuring no one was watching they veered off into a dark hallway which lead to the Sith Lords chambers.

Kixi was surprised at the lack of guards in the area, as a Sith Lord it was expected to come with a lot of protection, but there seems to be none. "Its either really good for us, or really bad. There is no in between, either knows we are here, or thinks his base is too secure to warrant security." George replied as they made their way into the turbo lift.

As Kixi asked if it was time to resume using the force he agreed with a slight nod. "Yes I believe so, we will prepare now. Lightsabers out but not engaged." As the Jedi Knight unzipped his tracksuit to retrieve his lightsabers. "Be prepared, this won't be like anything we've ever faced. He will have no mercy, he will use anything at his disposal. Keep on target and make sure he doesn't get the upper hand." A quick word of warning to his former Padawan, she had came a long way as a Knight, but caution was advised against such an opponent.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

As both George and Kixi exited the turbolift, the two Jedi could sense the presence of danger lurking nearby. But the immediate danger was not Ravern. Instead 4 Shadow Guards would approach, and then take formation. Two to the left and two to the right. In the centre stood a very young girl.

“Hello there Jedi, we meet again so soon.”

The young blonde haired girl, a Sith Acolyte was the same girl that both Kixi and George had met only around 30 minutes earlier in the detention centre.

“Ensign Rapson?”

Kixi said clearly surprised as she realised that the young girl, that both herself and George had encountered as they were leaving the detention centre had been a Sith all along, and had not only had deceived them, but tricked them. Yet despite the danger the Jedi were in, Kixi kept her cool.

“Rapson? Oh that’s obviously not my real name. As you can see. Oh I’ve heard a lot about you Kixi Rajki. You really are that dumb Kixi. Dumb like I was informed before meeting you.”

“Excuse me? Informed by whom? And I would watch that mouth of yours little girl!”

“You think I’m afraid of you Jedi? I’m Sith, no one scares me.”

“Clearly not! You’re a loud mouth little brat, that’s what you are. You really think you tricked me. Well little miss Sithspawn, you didn’t. You see, my Master and I were just on our way here to see Ravern as you came in. So in the end, whether you got us to tell you that we were Jedi or not is irrelevant. In the end we would have come here, and Ravern would have been awaiting us. Speaking of, where is your master, the real Sith lord that is, not you a little baby pretender wanna be?”

The young Sith Acolyte’s face would turn red, furious at Kixi’s insulting comments. In fact even the Shadow guards were struggling to hold back their laughter under their masks. Of course their facial expressions were not visible under their masks, but Kixi most certainly could sense it.

“Now step aside and take us to Ravern. Since we are actually here to see him.”

“Why should I Jedi, so you can try and kill him?”

Kixi simply roller her eyes at the young Acolyte.

“And you call me the dumb one. Seriously stupid, like your lord needs you to defend himself with. I reckon I could beat you with my eyes closed and hands bound.”

Kixi further continued with the insults at the young Acolyte. In-fact the two would exchange insults for a little while longer.

“He already knows we are here sunshine, he has to, because you genus already told him right? And don’t worry genus, my prime objective isn’t to try and kill him, I have another more important matter to discuss. So pretty please with sugar on top, go the frak and get him already.”

"Oh really Jedi, like what? Convince him to cease with the bio weapons in which you said earlier that you wanted to destroy? And like he is going to listen you, weak Jedi scum.”

Again Kixi would role her eyes at the Acolyte, and making it evidently obvious to insult her further.

“Knock, knock, am I speaking Basic or another language. Basic mother frakker, do you frakken speak it! Well let's see. For starters, those bio weapons , the basis, the fundamentals are my creation.”

The Acolyte not expecting that comment just stood there surprised.

“That’s damn right correct genius. I was once a biological scientist. Someone from my world was working for your lord and gave him all my secrets. Someone who wasn’t in fact really working for you but spying on you and on the republic for a more bigger cause well outside your scope of understanding little girl, so do me a favour and frak the hell off and go get your master here now before I beat the crap out of your sorry little butt.”

Kixi would angrily point a finger at the young Acolyte. And just as she did, another tall, grey haired beared man with a moustache would enter.

“Enough of this nonsense. Alexis you are clearly allowing this Jedi to get the better of you.”

The young Acolyte, Alexis Mila would then bow and move behind and to the right of the tall man, the Sith Lord Darth Ravern. He had overheard the entire conversation and then proceeded to speak.

“So Jedi, you wish to speak with me, well here I am. However before you begin, I know who you are. Kixi Rajki. I’ve learnt a lot about you. And yes I acknowledge your involvement in the bio weapons currently under development. That’s why it was I who had sent Kajtia to come with her. To come and join me.”

Ravern would stare Kixi in the eye a moment and then continue.

“My offer still stands. Join me Jedi.”

“Join you? What do you take me for a fool. Join you so once you’re done with me you can kill me like you did to Kajtia! No frakken chance.”

Ravern would simply smile at Kixi.”

“Oh my young Jedi, there you are greatly mistaken. I nor anyone under my command had absolutely nothing to do with her murder.”

“Liar!”

“Oh but it is true. Perhaps Jedi you should begin looking at those under your own command. You will find that things are not as they appear or seem to be.”

“Oh seriously! You have gotta be kidding? What are you getting at Ravern?”

“Oh you know to well already. Kixi Rajki, you’re not dumb like many of your enemies like to call you. Not by a long shot. You’re just naïve. Very naïve. Blinded by your trust in others. It is your weakness. The Sith trust nobody. Come with me and I will make you much greater than you can ever imagine.”

“Okay then, since you seem to know everything, who killed her then? If it wasn’t anyone under your command or you?”

“That I’m afraid I do not know. What I do know is that it was someone from your ranks. But you need not worry anymore Jedi because you will either join me or you will die.”

“Hang on a moment. Let's not jump the gun so quickly. You see there is something else you need to know. It’s a bigger problem. One that effects both your Empire and the Republic. Kajtia was spying on you. I had a spy among my crew who is also dead. They were feeding both Imperial and Republic intel to another dark lord who’s name is Xiz”Jhan. She gave you the bio weapons intel so you could use it, then start a war with the Republic, and ultimately, regardless who the end victor was, it would dramatically weaken both your forces and those of the Republic. Then his technologically superior forces which intend to enter this galaxy and conquer it, would do so with minimal resistance.”

Ravern looked at Kixi with clear doubts.

“I see you have trouble believing me, however it is the truth.”

“The truth, what that some other powerful force user from another galaxy is setting all this up, just so he can weaken us and then conquer us all?”

Ravern would then laugh, along with Alexis Mila who silently but attentively stood behind him.

“Ravern, how many spacefaring humans have you encountered who have an accent when speaking Basic? Have you noticed mine kick in here and there? It is because Basic isn’t my first language and never taught to me from young. In fact 5 years ago I couldn’t even speak it. Xiz’Jhan is from another galaxy called Androj”Meden. He is from a place that was once called the Sajnen Federation. Their technology is way ahead of yours and that of the Republic. I know this as factual Ravern because I too am Sajnen. I am not from here. Furthermore I served Xiz”jhan as his right hand warrior known as a First Prime. Everything I have said to you is real, all of it. You must destroy the bio weapons lab. I know this sounds hideous, but we must form an alliance. An alliance of tomorrow. His invasion fleet is around a decade away, give or take. We must form a ceasefire. Not fight each other so when the time comes we can combine our forces and only then have a chance of success.”

Ravern eyed the Jedi Kixi for several minutes. No one spoke for the entire time. Then finally Ravern would break the silence.

“Its all a fascinating story Jedi, but very far fetched if you ask me. I don’t believe you, and even if it were true, I have no fear of anyone. I will form no alliance with you nor your feeble Republic. When the time comes, I will crush their worlds with my bio weapons and they will then bow to me, the supreme ruler. If this Lord Xiz’Jhan you speak of does come, he too will meet the same fate as the Republic.”

“No Ravern, you are making a dire mistake! The Sajnen Dark Jedi Xiz’Jhan might be an equal to you when it comes to the Force, but his forces are far more advance than anything we have. Together we stand, divided we shall fall.”

“Enough of this Jedi. I have heard enough!”

Kixi stopped talking, now realising it was a hopeless and futile situation. There was silence in the room as Kixi’s heavy breathing could be heard loudly by all.
“Jedi Kixi Rajki, this is your final chance. Kill that blue alien thing over there that you call your master, prove to me your worth and then bow to me, your new master.”

“Ha! You have such a vivid immagination. You can go to hell Ravern! You see, Master George O Rourke over there, he’s more than just my Jedi Master, he is my friend, a true friend. Sith like you have no friends. You simply use everyone for your own needs and greedy power. True friendship is worth a lot more than that. And you know what, you’ve just proven it. Say I were to become your apprentice, don’t you already have one?”

Kixi pointed to Alexis.

“Her, isn’t she your apprentice already. You can’t have two. You’re a Sith. There are only 2. A master and an apprentice. So what will you then do with her? Have me kill her for me to take her place?”

Kixi eyed Alexis momentarily.

“Oh my little douchebag, now we wouldn't want that would we?"

Kixi would say to Alexis in a mocking voice

"You see, he isn’t really your friend. He’s just using you and in the end if you live, you’ll be just like him.”

Alexis would then angrily retort back at Kixi.

“We are Sith, we are stronger than you’ll ever be. Your loyalty to your friends is your greatest weakness. After you defeat your master, you will fight me. I will defeat you, you Kerr! My master wants me to prove my worth and I will prove it to him. I will defeat you and I will remain his apprentice. And then one day like a true Sith, like it has been for generations, I will defeat him too and then be the master and train a new apprentice who will eventually one day rise above me and then defeat me. We Sith will become forever stronger and stronger as individuals, one thing you Jedi will never be.”

As Alexi concluded her speech, Ravern would clap his hands slowly in approval.

“Good. Goooooood. Said just like I have taught you my young apprentice.”

Then he pointed his finger slowly at Kixi.

“Now you will join me. Destroy your master and begin your journey to the dark side.”

“No. Never! I will never succumb to your demand, nor join you. Never!”

Raven then lowered his arm and finger.

“So be it then. Jedi! If you will not join me, then you will join your master in the afterlife. Guards, Alexis, kill them at once!”

As the order came from Sith Lord, he stepped back several paces where he would stand and watch the battle unfold. In an instant Kixi lit up her lightsabre and George both of his two lightsabres. The four shadow warriors would do the same and light up their own lightsabres, as would the extremely young Alexis Mila. And then it was on. The four shadow guards would descend upon and then surround George, and Alexis would make a lunge at Kixi.

As they entered the young girl who had met them before stood before them. You little! She had fooled them all, she was no republic spy, she was the apprentice of the Dark Lord himself. Next to her was four shadow guards, two the left and two to the right. Kixi and the now Apprentice Alexis argued and spat words at each other before Darth Ravern entered the scene. It was a tense situation and George kept his lightsabers close as it could erupt at any time.

As they continued the words spoken by Alexis became more and more stupid. As she recited the words of her Master George couldn't take her stupidity any more. "Young Alexis, do you hear what you are saying? You are willing to be killed by your own apprentice due to the expert training you have given them? Is that really positive? You live, you train, you teach you die? Would you not rather something more from life? Like living long enough to see your own apprentice train their own? For power is one thing, but death too soon is another, and that is what will ultimately destroy the Sith." George spoke to the young woman, hoping his words would make her understand. But in reality it was hopeless.

As more discussion took place Darth Ravern gave Kixi an ultimatum, kill George and join him, or die. Seemed like a simple enough request, but the answer was even simpler. But he couldn't seem to understand. Eventually he manage to get something through his thick skull, or he gave up on waiting and sent his minions to attack whilst he took a back seat. George was faced with the four shadow guards whilst Kixi took on the Sith Apprentice who she already seemed to have a beef with.

As the four shadow guards initiated their attack George ignited his lightsabers, watching and waiting for their first move. But it didn't take long. Two came in with over hand swings, in almost identical placement, George easily parried it away before returning with a few attacks of his own. Swiping whilst he span slashing at them, they were pushed back a few paces, however by this stage the other two came into the frame. They too attacked in unison, it was going to be a lot easier with only two sets of attacks as it seemed that each pair was wired the same with the same movements and the same attacks. Almost predictable.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

As Alexis lunged forward at Kixi, Kixi simply reached out with the Force to push her back. Kixi's Force push would knock Alexis mid air as she was coming at Kixi, and then send her hurtling back to crash land at least 3 or 4 metres back from where Kixi stood. Kixi then would charge at the momentarily downed Alexis. However Alexis was quick back on her feet as the two then would exchange blows with their sabres. Kixi violently pressed forwardly onto Alexis. The young Sith Acolyte was no match for the much more experienced and skilled Jedi Knight. Kixi's strikes came like fury at Alexis who could do nothing but block and defend herself.

The duel continued another minute at best. Alexis would then stumble backwards to fall to her knees as Kixi continued to strike blows at her, Alexis by this stage had placed her lightsabre in a forward position just above her head in a last minute effort to protect herself.

"Foolish little Sith girl, soon you'll become Bantha fodder."

As the words came out of Kixi's mouth, Alexis folded dropping her weapon. As Kixi's next strike came at Alexis' head, Alexis purposely fell back to avoid decapitation. As a result, Kixi slashed at Alexis' abdomen, critically wounding her. Alexis would then completely fall to the ground, screaming in agony as she lay slumped on her back, with her arms now fully laid out. Kixi stood above her, kicked her on her wound to cause Alexis more pain, as she then knelt down on one knee beside her. With her free hand Kixi would grab Alexis by the throat, lift her so she could face up at Kixi, and then at random a flash of vision. It occurred in a split second. A vision that would reveal something startling, and that both Kixi and Alexis would see the exact same vision simultaneously, in which for both of them would appear to have lasted for at least 30 seconds, as time appeared to suddenly stand still for both warriors. This in Kixi's culture was known as Hidajha.

Kixi then let go of Alexis' throat and put that very same hand on her own chest, stunned at what she saw. In her main hand her lightsabre was still lit, but no longer pointed at the Sith Acoloyte.

"You saw what I saw?"

Alexis would nod at the Jedi Knight frightened.

"Chi, Chi, Chieade. Chieade La, La, Lama"

The young Sith would begin to recite.

Kixi still had her hand on her chest, just above her heart.

"Chieade Lama, but how can it be?"

Kixi would say out aloud.

"That is me? And you save my life? I don't fully understand the Chieade part however. In my culture what just happened is called Hidajha. When Hidajha occurs, what is seen in the vision by both parties very much always eventuates. You were much older Alexis, we are friends yet you are still Sith and I'm a Jedi Master. How can this be?"

Kixi felt totally lost, yet now wasn't the time. Alexis may have been neutralised, however Darth Ravern stood there, menacing.

"I know, I know. I saw exactly what you saw. Please Jedi Kixi don't kill me. I'm still a child. Pleeeeeeeeeease allow me to live."

Poor frightened Alexis began pleading for her life. To the disgust of the observing Sith Lord Ravern. In the meantime, George was busy with the Shadow guards fighting, yet he would soon be finished with them to rejoin his former padawan in battle.

"Strike her down now and take her place by my side."

Ravern would give Kixi the ultimate death stare as he spoke.

"No, I cannot, and will not."

Kixi then did the unthinkable and turned off her own lightsabre. Of course she still held it in her hand at the ready as she stood up.

"We experienced something rather unique and rare, she lives as far as I'm concerned."

Kixi would then explain Hidajha to the Sith Lord, and what it had meant in her culture, and what both Alexis and herself had seen.

"An interesting phenomenon Jedi, but if you join me and kill her now, whatever future you two saw of her saving you won't happen. And in that I mean you won't ever be in that situation as you'll never become a Jedi Master to begin with. You'll be my apprentice and a great Sith Warrior. Now finish her and avoid yourself the uncertainty and the eventual agony to follow."

Kixi looked Ravern in the eye, considering his offer for just for a moment.

"Screw you Ravern, I'll take my chances. It's a whole lot better than joining you."

And once again Kixi would then re-ignite her lightsabre. She was ready. The showdown with Ravern would soon begin. Kixi turned her head slightly to the side to check up on her Master George, who was just about done with the pesky Shadow Guards. Soon it would start. Jedi Master and his former padawan now Knight versus Sith Lord. Darth Ravern had to be stopped at all costs. This was their chance to make it so.

As Kixi head off against Alexis George had his hands full with the Shadow Guards in front of him. They attacked in unison, but became predictable. George used this to his advantage. As two came crashing in towards George he used a precise gust of the force to push on of them back, leaving only one on the attack. As he strike down at George he simply parried away the blade before using his other blade to strike. Sliding the blade up through his stomach and out through his back near his neck. The shadow guard dropped. His lightsaber disengaged and that left George with three opponents remaining.

As his battle continued the attacks were again in unison, predictable and easy to defend. As he worked his way into the same position he once again used the force to push one back as the other strike. And once again George impaled the other right through the chest. With only two left George glanced over at his former Padawan, she had seemed to be victorious in her match up with her standing over Alexis whilst Darth Ravern watched. George didn't like the predicament, with her too close to Darth Ravern she could be in striking distance of him and George didn't want that.

His focused returned to the Shadow Guards in front of him. As the both came striking down at George he simply raised his blades parrying the over head strikes before slashing at their waists and leaving them crumbling to the ground. He quickly made his way over to Kixi, she stood lightsaber engaged ready for battle. George took his position beside Kixi and near Alexis. She remained down on the ground, for now she was no threat. The only threat was Darth Ravern.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

Kixi continued to lock gazes with Ravern as George continued to fight. Ravern was clearly waiting for George to finish. His intention was clear, to fight both Jedi together. He was very confident and sure of himself. After all he was a Sith Master and fighting only two Jedi Knights. Kixi took a quick glance towards George who was very much running towards her. He was finally done messing around with the now dead Shadow Guards.

As both Jedi Kixi Rajki and George O Rourke prepared themselves to do battle with the Sith Lord Ravern, Ravern would pull out his double sided lightsabre and ignite both blades. Kixi once again locked gazes with him, breathed heavily and was trying extremely hard to hold her anger in. Then she bolted straight for him, blade facing forward and towards Ravern's torso. She leaped high in the air aiming for his chest, but the Sith had no problems parring her blow. By then it was on, the other Jedi George also had initiated his attack on the Sith. It was two Jedi Knights versus a Sith Master. An equal match as the three fought with absolute sheer speed and ferocity. The fight would go on for well over a minute, quite a long time for a duel of this calibre. Kixi especially was attacking the Sith Lord with pure aggression. This approach worried George which resulted in a momentary lapse of concentration for Kixi. Her guard had dropped. A situation that George had dreaded, as what would happen next would completely complicate the situation. Ravern would take immediate advantage of the situation. He was powerful enough to then Force grip Kixi's throat while still being able to fight the other Jedi George. Kixi would fall on her knees, drop her sabre and put both her hands on her throat as she began gasping for air.

"Gra, gra, greh, I caaaant breath."

Kixi's eyes would appear to enlarge, as she looked towards her master for help. Yet he was himself struggling to hold his own against Ravern. Ravern was still able to hold a Force choke grip on Kixi while fending off and attack George. Yet as a result of Ravern choking Kixi, his power would somehow be a little weaker against George whom he was fighting at the same time. This was an opportunity George had to take. As if he didn't, not only was Kixi going to die, once Ravern was done with her, all his power would solely be placed on George which would make his odds to succeed in defeating the Sith even harder.

"Master, maaaaaaaster, it's all up to you to defeat him. I can't get out of his choke. I caaaaaant shake it off!"

Kixi would then tilt her head up, but it was to no avail. She was still choking. By now she had estimated that she had around another minute left before she would die. Ravern was determined to kill Kixi for refusing to join him. He would also kill George all the same. If George failed to defeat Ravern, first Kixi would be dead, then once Ravern could focus all his power on George, then he would most probably follow fate. Then soon after it would surely spell doom for any Republic worlds who would refuse to bow to the Sith Lord once he would have his fully operational biological weapons of destruction at the ready.

As George returned to his former Padawans side the battle began, she came bustling at Ravern with her blade aimed at him, he had already by this time engaged his duel bladed lightsaber and the battle was on. George followed suit charging in with both blades trying to unify his attacks with Kixi's making his attacks strike at Ravern's least defended areas, however it was to no avail, George and Kixi were not in unison, he could feel her anger, her hatred taking over. George could feel it, even during the heat of battle. It worried him.

As the battled raged on Kixi's anger continued, her aggression increased and this lead to her defeat. With a quick swipe Ravern had parried both Kixi and George away in unison, Kixi struggled slightly more with her aggression being turned on her. At this time Ravern extended on hand up with a gripping stance. He initialized a force choke on Kixi. She was struggling to breath and whilst George knew this would be draining him he couldn't get through Ravern's one handed defence. He looked at Kixi a few times, seeing the pain and suffering she was enduring. Her cries for help both enraged and engaged George. He put more focus into his strikes, more focus into the battle and soon he had something.

With a large sweeping strike George managed to push Ravern back, although there was no hit Ravern was forced back a few paces, this did not affect his grip on Kixi, but allowed George time. Time to summon a great gust of the force. Bringing his hands together, he thrust his hands outwards towards Ravern. This unleashed a powerful gust of wind, pushing Ravern back and eventually leading to him falling. With his concentration centred on Kixi he was unable to defend from the blow. However now his connection was severed as he hit the ground. George pounced quickly knowing the strength of his adversary. He leaped coming down with both blades aiming for his chest. However Ravern was too quick, he recovered enough to engage his lightsaber and parry the strike. However it was not good enough. With only one blade engaged for the Sith Lord only one strike was parried. George's right blade penetrated the skin of the Sith as the skin quickly burnt. However Ravern didn't miss completely. He had managed to get a blade on George swiping his left arm in his defence, leaving him bleeding and without proper use of it.

With Ravern receiving a decisive blow it was time to end it before any more regaining could take place George pulled the lightsaber out of his chest before plunging it back in, directly through his heart. Although he was only one handed, he managed to create enough force to penetrate through his armour plating and into his chest. It was finally over, the Sith was beat and George and Kixi had completed one portion of their mission.

As George stood up he clutched his left arm with his right. The pain coursed through him but he was able to cope with the pain. He retrieved his lost saber that had been in his left hand prior to the strike and hooked it back onto his belt before clutching his hand once again. As he turned around he again realized the extent of Kixi's injuries. He quickly rushed to her side. "Kixi, Kixi are you alright?" He called brushing the hair off of her face with his right hand. "Its all over, Ravern will never hurt anyone again. Believe me." He spoke aloud to Kixi even though she appeared to be unconscious. "Come back to me Kixi, you can't go now. Think of Nena. Think of Mako. Think of your crew. We all can't loose you now." George poured his heart out over the motionless body. He hoped it wasn't the end. Something told him it wasn't the end. But there was always that sinking feeling it could have been.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

As Kixi lay on the floor, semi conscious she could hear the clash of swords. For her it seemed an eternity and then suddenly it would all come to an abrupt end. She lay on the ground, her mind shifting in and out of consciousness. The outcome of the battle was still unknown to her. She was expecting Ravern to walk up to her at anytime. She just laid there, motionless. She waited for Ravern to finish her off......

As the dark lord went down, Kixi could immediately breathe again, as she removed her hands from her neck. She was however laying on the floor in a semi conscious state. The invisible Force choke on her was gone as Ravern lay dead, defeated by Kixi's Jedi master and mentor, [member="George O Rourke"]. George would then approach Kixi. He shook her softly and called to her. Kixi was coming back slowly, but George was naturally worried given the state she was in. Kixi could hear his voice. She heard the names, Nena and Mako. The sound of both names would snap Kixi up. She lifted the upper part of her body up, now fully conscious again.

"Nena, Mako! I can't leave them. Not now."

George then extended a hand out to her to help her back on her feet. Kixi got back onto her feet. She was able to stand, even though a bit wobbly and shaky at first, she would then quickly re-stabilise herself.

"I don't feel like dying today Master."

Kixi would chuckle a little as she spoke, which would clearly indicate that she was fine now.

"Thank you Master. We have defeated him together, however the final kill was yours and you saved my life in the process. Thank you kindly. You are a great teacher and most importantly a great friend."

Kixi could see the injury on George's arm, but could also see that it wasn't as bad as it looked. Yet it would need attending soon.

"Master your arm? Please forgive me, but I must use my very low energy resources that I have left for healing on someone else currently in urgent need. We will look at your arm as we get off this rock. The shuttles all have med kits onboard. For now I must follow the path as revealed to my by Hidajha. Once again Master, please forgive me for what I'm about to do."

Kixi would then turn and run over to Alexis Mila who lay slumped on the floor. The young girl was dying from the wound inflicted on her abdomen in the brief duel earlier on with Kixi. Kixi picked her up and brought Alexis close to her body. Poor Alexis' voice was soft, full of pain, her face demonstrating an expression that was pure agony.

"Hang in there, this will soon be over. You are going to make it. Just breathe and concentrate on your breathing."

Kixi brought Alexis' body closer to hers. With one hand she placed it at the back of her head and brought the young girl's head close to the side of her own. With the other hand, Kixi softly placed it on the wound on Alexis' abdomen. Kixi then closed her eyes and asked for Alexis to do the same.

"That's it my young child, close your eyes and breath, close your eyes and breath slowly."

Kixi would slowly rub the back of Alexis' hair as then she would extend her aura onto Alexis and join with her. The two began to breathe in unison. Them a light emerged from Kixi's hand that was on the Sith Acolyte's abdomen.

"Now my young Alexis, you will experience the power of the light, your injuries are healing, keep breathing with me, concentrate, our auras must stay as one."

Then within seconds, the light from Kixi's hand had engulfed both their bodies. For a moment, the two would look like heavenly angels from the spiritual world. The whole experience would look beautiful as the two had temporarily become one in the light. Then as quick as it had all happened, it all stopped. The light vanished and both Kixi and Alexis just stood there in each other's arms. Slowly Kixi would let go and release the young Sith girl. Her pain was gone, her life threatening injuries gone.

"You saved my life, but how?"

"The power of the light is a powerful ally if you give yourself the patience and calmness to understand and work with it. It's not too late you know. You can still come with us and become a Jedi."

The young Sith slowly shook her head before speaking.

"I am great-full for what you just did, for showing me compassion and mercy, but the path of the Jedi is not for me. My path is that of the Sith. Yet it doesn't mean we cannot be friends Kixi?"

Kixi would half smile at her, she knew her master George wouldn't approve of this, but Hidajha is Hidajha, and over the millennia that the phenomenon had been known to exist in Kixi's culture, within the worlds of the Sajnen Confederate, it had never been known to be wrong before.

"Agreed, we can still be friends Alexis."

Kixi extended her right arm and hand out to her as Alexis took it and shook it.

"By the way, how old are you?

Kixi would ask curiously already sort of knowing.

"I'm only fourteen years old Jedi."

"Wow, that's young to be put out very much on the frontline. Very young indeed."

Kixi would then place her hand on the girl's left shoulder.

"Today I saved your life. Somewhere in the tomorrow, you will save mine. It has been written and it is destiny. Go forth young one and take care, our paths shall one day cross again."

Alexis nodded to Kixi in acknowledgement as Kixi would add one last thing.

"I have one last request for you before you leave. Can you round up all the prisoners and workers into a cargo ship. Just get them all in there and let me know when it's done. After that you're free to go on your merry way, most likely to find yourself a new master. My master will then fly the prisoners and workers out of here once we are done. Go now Alexis and may the Force be with you."

Alexis would then leave and without further hesitation, eventually do as asked. Kixi turned to George who clearly had questions regarding allowing the Sith girl to first of all live, and then letting her go.

"I had to let Alexis go Master. You might find this difficult to fathom, but when I had grabbed her by the throat during our duel, we both saw a flash vision. The exact same one simultaneously. This Master in my culture is called a Hidajha. When Hidajha occurs, the vision usually turns out true, but in many occasions can happen a long way off into the future. Furthermore with Hidajha, the person who you shared the flash vision with, usually is the one to save you from whatever happens if it's a case of where you need rescuing."

Kixi briefly would pause, look at George to ensure he was taking all this in.

"In my Hidajha, what we both saw was me severely hurt. It appeared to be well into the future. When exactly is impossible to say. I saw that I was a lot older, a Jedi Master, and that I looked somewhat different. I saw that the young Sith Acolyte, who was by then a young woman and a Sith Warrior came and saved me. In sparing her life today, she saves mine tomorrow Master. Hidajha have never lied. The only thing that has me baffled is the whole thing about Chieade Lama. Whatever it was, it has to be real as we both saw it. Hidajha never lies. But I felt Chieade was me. However how can that be, I am Kixi Rajki, and not Chieade Lama?

Kixi shook her head, baffled and confused.

"Perhaps in time I will slowly discover the truth."

Kixi's facial expression then would become one of despair.

"It is clear now what Kajtia was trying to do. In getting me to join Ravern, then this vision of the future revealed to me by Hidajha would never have happened. In joining Ravern, the great danger I would be in could not occur as my future would have been altered."

Then Kixi would hug and embrace George.

"Master in the end I made the right decision. I overcome the power of the dark side and today we Jedi prevailed against the forces of darkness. You don't know how much your friendship means to me. It means a lot. I will continue to live my life going forward as it should be. Whenever this attack is to happen to me, I guess I'll just have to cross that bridge when I come to cross it. There is nothing I nor anyone can do about it. Kajtia the only person who possibly knew something about it is dead. No point dwelling upon it Master. Speaking of which, we still need to give Kajtia her proper funeral or goodbyes. Once we address the Assembly we will do just that. I want you do be by my side when I bid her farewell."

Kixi then let go of George.

"Oh I forgot, we're not done here just yet. We need to blow up the weapons lab asteroid. Alexis is rounding up all the prisoners now as we speak to one or the cargo ships. We best get going. I believe Ravern's personnel on this asteroid are not aware of his defeat. I'll pretend you are still a prisoner getting escorted back to the garbage and recycling asteroid. Once we're on the shuttle, we'll hijack it and fly it to the weapons lab and make it go boom! Oh and of course treat that injury on your arm too."

The two Jedi would then make their way back down the turbolift and to the shuttle docking bay. Deep down however, Kixi couldn't stop thinking about the Hidajha. It would haunt her for the years to come.

With the battle over George had returned to Kixi's side. She soon awoken with the sound of Nena and Mako's names. As she stood up she soon sounded like her old self, cracking little jokes to create a lighter environment. "I wouldn't have let you die today Kixi. Not today, not tomorrow, not the day after..." George replied as Kixi continued moments later. "Anytime Kixi, Ravern got his punishment and today justice was served." George replied once more as he smiled at the kind words of his former Padawan.

As Kixi saw George's arm she wanted to help, but felt her remaining power could be better used elsewhere. This somewhat confused George, expecting her to mean saving herself, but instead she walked directly over to Alexis where she laid weak from the blow to her stomach. George didn't agree with Kixi in doing this, but she had her way, it it was usually a good way. He followed behind, stopping a few steps behind where Alexis lay.

As the two spoke some interesting information came out. George waited quietly as they conversed and as Kixi bid Alexis farewell, but not before using Alexis to help the two Jedi in their mission to destroy the weapons facility. Alexis was to help all the workers onto a transport, one that George would end up flying out of the system, once all was tendered to.

After Alexis' farewell Kixi turned to George, knowing full well his dislike of her choice. However she explained herself, in a way George sort of understood. "So you two are connected by some other force, something beyond both you and I?" Clarifying what he had heard, but he had doubts about the truth behind it, he didn't expect Kixi to be lying, but the future was unknown. Would Kixi be saved by Alexis in the future? Or would it be a lie? Only time would tell.

Now it was time to complete their primary mission, destroy the weapons facility and save the workers. George zipped up his overalls with his lightsabers held comfortably inside. However his arm still had the nasty swipe on it and the fabric up his arm was torn leaving the open wound visible. George followed Kixi taking his position as the worker trying his best to comfort his arm through the pain.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

As the two Jedi walked towards the awaiting shuttle, Kixi held George's arm as they walked with George in front. This was to make it look like that George was a prisoner being escorted back. No one really paid too much attention, infact no was even aware of the death of their master, Darth Ravern. Kixi held onto George's injured arm, Kixi's soft femine touch would provide some comfort to counteract the pain from the injury.

"I sense your doubts Master. But like I said, Hidajha has never been known to lie. But I understand your concerns. Such superstition would cast doubts in virtually any Jedi's mind. In the end don't take it the wrong way in what I'm about to say, but it is I who now has to live day by day not knowing where or when I'll be struck. There is not a single thing I, you, nor anyone else can do about it. Yet I won't live in fear as a result. I just hope only I'm attacked and no one else I love....... Mako. I would do anything for her, even give my life without a second thought. According to Hidajha, I am seriously hurt after a brutal attack. Yet I live because I'm rescued by one, Alexis Mila. The only way Hidajha can be changed is if something along the line can alter the temporal timeline. With Kajtia dead, there is almost no chance in discovering my future attacker. Unless I don't ever become a Jedi Master then it's going to happen, the attack that is. If that cannot be changed, then Alexis had to be saved. Simply put, if she was killed today, there would be no one to save me when I'm attacked and I will most certainly die."

The two would then get onto a shuttle just as it was boarding. It wasn't full. Just them, the pilot and two other Imperial personnel.

George was reluctant but understood. George was guided by Kixi back to the shuttle. He didn't say anything in response as he was a prisoner, and not a Jedi for the time being. Although that was the main reason George didn't exactly know what to say anyway. How can someone decide on a course of action when apparently the future almost kills one of your best friends? The walk was short and didn't give George time to think extensively into it, however he had done enough. He knew the question he had posed, but no answer yet.

As the pair of them walked into the shuttle Kixi released her soft grip of George as he then clutched his arm again. Holding onto it whilst in the protection of the shuttle. The shuttle that would eventually lead them to the base and their final stop before leaving the god forsaken weapons dump.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

As the two Jedi took their seat in the departing shuttle, both Kixi and George sat facing the other 2 Imperial personnel on the opposite side. The sole pilot sat ahead in the small cockpit. The trip back to the garbage and recycling asteroid plant would be a short one, and they needed not need to go there just yet. Kixi needed to make her next action quick. She got up from her seat as they were well under way en-route to the garbage and recycling asteroid. She gave a quick glance and smile at the two young male Imperials who couldn't take their eyes off her. To everyone's surprise she would them lift off the top part of her uniform. The eyes of both male officers instantly were glued onto Kixi's stunning body. She would put both her hands on her breasts which were covered only by a very thin bra. She jiggled them a little and giggled.

"You like these boys. Oh they're soooooo nice to play with."

"Oh frak yeah mam!"

One of the officers would reply excited and clearly like his fellow officer, fully concentrated on Kixi's flirting.

"Although boys I'm sorry to have to be the barer of bad news, I'm a lesbian."

Both now completely off guard never saw it coming. Kixi took out her blaster which was set to stun, and shot the both of them in the chest. Knocking them out cold.

"Oh good night boys and sweet dreams".

She then made her way to the cockpit and trained her blaster on the pilot. He had seen everything and already had his hands in the air.

"If you shoot me, who is going to fly the ship."

Kixi smiled at him and spoke to him in a very unusual polite manner.

"That is not your concern, so don't worry yourself."

She then shot him too and quickly grabbed him and dragged him out back.

"Master go fly the ship and divert us to the weapons lab asteroid. I'll tie these three geese up. This is because we are going to need this ship to get back to the garbage and recycling asteroid where both the cargo ship with the prisoners and workers, plus the Arkhan await us after we blow it up. If these guys wake up, they wont be going anywhere, nor doing anything."

George did just that as Kixi bound all three men up. She then grabbed the small med kit from the shuttle and approached George.

"Put it on autopilot for a sec and give me your arm."

George did just that, as Kixi quickly attended to it.

"That will do. Its now a brand new second hand arm."

Kixi began giggling at her own joke.

"We are almost there Master. Take us in slowly and then prepare for some resistance."

George would then land the shuttle in the docking pay without any incident. It was now time to complete the final part of their mission.

As the pair of them entered the shuttle they were accompanied by two other imperial officers along with the pilot. George could see the other officers glued to Kixi and her body. Kixi also noticed this and used it to her full advantage. She threw them a cheeky grin before removing the top half of her uniform. George sighed and shook his head. How could these officers be so narrow minded to fall into this trap. Well George knew it was, but they didn't. Cheekily she jiggled her breasts a little bit pulling them ever closer to the end of the trap. George just sat and watched, also giving Kixi a quick look, but only to ensure she was 'safe'. Then Kixi brought in the smack down. Informing them of her lack of sexual attraction to men. Followed by her producing her blaster shattered the poor blokes and George almost felt sorry for them.

As she quickly stunned both of them as they fell to the ground she made her way to the cockpit. By this time the pilot had seen what had happened and already had his hands in the air. After exchanging a few words Kixi continued to stun the pilot too, he was worried about the ship, but little did he know he had two pilots already aboard the ship well capable of flying this little shuttle. "Well Kixi, you do know how to make a scene..." A slight double meaning in the sentence, wondering if Kixi would pick it up. But if she didn't it wasn't too bad. "You're welcome to put your shirt back on now. I am sure when... Actually never mind, you might be able to distract the entire lab... But hey its up to you." He replied as he made his way into the cockpit taking control of the ship as Kixi tied up the men. He changed the course and made his destination the lab.

After organizing the prisoners she returned to George with a medpack, she had seen it in the shuttle and though whilst they had a spare few minutes she could quickly attend to Geroge's wound. She instructed George to put the shuttle into autopilot as she went to work on his arm. "Brand new second hand arm... That whole sentence contradicts itself..." He paused for a moment before laughing, he knew what she meant and though he could run with it for a few seconds.

As she directed George to take her in gently she expected some resistance, George wasn't so sure... Depends on Kixi's wardrobe in his mind. "We'll see how this resistance goes. Do you think they've found out about Ravern yet? I think they would lay down their arms if they knew two Jedi were aboard, the two Jedi who had just defeated their Sith Lord Master." George seemed pretty confident of this and was almost ready to just pull his lightsabers out, but he wasn't sure how Kixi wanted to play it. So instead he left them in his suit. He gently brought the ship in and landed it before preparing to leave.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

As the events unfolded, George would comment on how Kixi knew how to make a scene. Kixi knew what he had meant and simply winked at him. As they landed, despite George's obvious sarcastic idea to just walk in with her top off, Kixi thought the better of it as she finally put it back on.

"You're a really funny guy Master, I like that."

Kixi would comment giggling.

"Okay we can walk in telling them that Ravern is dead. We'll try it your way Master. But a word of warning. They as little as try anything stupid........"

Kixi would give George a broad hard smile.

"If they have other ideas, l'm turning the place to smoke. They can either surrender and come back with us, and allow us to destroy the lab, or take a one way ticket to the Elysian Fields, the choice will be theirs."

Kixi would then do a fancy arm and hand gesture, spinning her arms around and pointing them to the door, indicating for George to open the shuttle door and lead the way.

"If you would kindly allow it sir."

Kixi had obviously meant for George to open the door. He would do so and as the two exited, they were greated by 2 people. A male who was an advisor to the lead scientist, plus a female who was the assistant scientist. Behind them stood 4 stormtroopers, weapons at ready for the just in case. This would either end up being a peaceful surrender, or a deadly assault. Kixi was hoping it wouldn't be the latter, but at the same time didn't really care. In the end, it couldn't end up being worse than the battle with Ravern if it came down to a fight.

Kixi took George's comments in her stride providing a little wink for his troubles. "I am glad you think so." George replied with a smirk. However at this time she decided it would be best to put her shirt back on. Which she did quickly. Now came the big decision, how to play it from here. Telling the soldiers that their master is dead could do two things. Cause a huge battle... Or they could surrender and walk out alive. This decision was soon to come, and on the other side of the doors. "Works for me, its in their best interest to surrender and survive then fight and die. But you know how narrow minded the imperials are." George replied lifting his shoulders in a 'I don't care' sort of way.

It came the time to exit the ship and see the choice the enemy had made. With Kixi almost performing a dance in order to get George to open the door he did so quickly. As it opened and the ramp lowered they were greeted by a male advisor, a female assistant and four storm troopers, just the way they like it. As they stepped down George stood in front of Kixi, this time there was no looking dull, no looking down. His clothes may have represented a worker, but his face represented a lot more. "Ah yes, imperials. We have a few things that you may want to hear." Instantly the storm troopers trained their blasters at George, as workers were not meant to speak out of turn.

George unzipped his overalls displaying his two lightsabers neatly positioned under his arms. "Now, your boy Ravern is dead. You have two choices right now. Fight or Surrender. If you surrender you'll make it out alive, if you fight, you will die. There is no doubt about that." George spoke confidently with all weapons aimed at him.

"No, Lord Ravern... No." The male advisor muttered. "You killed our leader..." The assistant replied sobbing. It seemed as though they had a connection to the Sith Lord. Not one that seemed healthy but they seemed to morn his death. For someone that 'has no friends' it seemed as though Ravern had many who cared about him. Well at least when it came to scientist. "You killed our leader. You will die..." One of the storm troopers replied before punching something into his pad on his arm. Moments later another squad of storm troopers appeared. "Well I guess they want to do this the hard way." George whispered to Kixi. "No, don't fight. Please no more death in our lab." The advisor replied skittishly before turning and running away. He knew he could stop it, so it was decided to get away. The assistant followed close behind. However as they made their escape George had one last thing to say, aided by the force he announced to everyone in the lab. "Everyone, your dear leader is dead. You can surrender and survive, or fight and die. It has seemed that the storm troopers have made their decision, but scientist, assistance and advisors. You all have a choice, their is a transport ship waiting outside, if you want to survive you'll lay down your arms, your equipment and leave now." George's voice boomed through the lab, everyone turned in attention, both the fleeing assistant and advisor even stopped taking the advise and began heading towards the transport.

"Thats enough. Kill them!" The storm troopers shouted as they opened fire on both Kixi and George. He quickly sprang into action, his lightsabers engaged in a matter of seconds deflecting the bolts away from them. He pushed Kixi towards a wall, it would protect them from fire for a short time, give them some time to devise a strategy.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

As the fight began, George pushed Kixi onto a wall. This was solely for protection of course. Kixi looked down on her chest and realised she still had her force field device. She activated it as she hadn't used it in the fight with the Sith, since it wouldn't have been of much use then.

"I guess it has full charge. So this can't be that hard. I'll just walk out and start shooting at them. They'll shoot me and my shield will protect me. I should be able to take around 20 hits give or take before it gets depleted."

Kixi didn't seem all that worried, yet naturally it would still worry George.

"It will be okay. Just stay behind me and use me as a shield while you deflect their shots back at them."

Kixi wasn't going to make it possible to get an argument from George. They were running out of time and he didn't seem to have any better ideas either.

"Here goes, I'm doing it Master."

Kixi then casually walked out and lifted her blaster and began shooting at the stormtroopers one by one. They returned fire of course and the bolts would all hit Kixi from several directions. They would bounce off her shield, as the force of the impacts to her body shield would constantly push her back several steps as Kixi kept trying to move forward again.

One by one the stormtroopers went down. George was behind Kixi using his two lightsabres to take out some of the stormtroopers with their own deflected fire. Kixi could feel her shield depleting. The blaster bolts hitting her began to hurt. She pulled out one of her grenades on her belt and threw it at a group of stormtroopers. It went off vapourising the lot. By this stage there wete just 6 stormtroopers left. The hangar bay by this stage looked like a battlefield after the battle had ended. The bodies of stormtroopers lay dead everywhere. Kixi's shield in that moment flickered for a few more seconds and then flicked out.

"You and your blue friend are gonna be dead now girl."

One of the last six stormtroopers left yelled out. However Kixi would then holster her blaster and take out her lightsabre and ignite it.

"Six of you against two Jedi, I don't think so pal. Your gonna join your buddies in the Elysian Fields."

The stormtrooper would give Kixi funny look regarding the Elysian Fields comment, as the term was more widely used by Kixi's own people, but in the end it didn't matter. Kixi Force leaped at him and struck him dead centre in the chest. She then spun and swung, first decapitating one stormtrooper, and then slicing another from across from the left shoulder and down through the torso and out the right hip. The remaining three stormtroopers would be dealt with accordingly by George as the two fought in unison..

Surprisingly George had no arguments with Kixi's all out attack strategy, actually it was also his idea too. Although his idea was for them both to go out deflecting. But either way George had faith. "Alright then, lets do this." George replied as Kixi activated her shield and they both made their way out into the fire storm. Bolts came buzzing past both of them from all angles. Most were absorbed by Kixi's shield and the rest were able to be deflected by George's lightsabers. To begin with he just parried them away, but after a few he was into his rhythm and he now shooting them straight back at them.

As the storm troopers dropped like flies only 6 remained some tried to start talking down at Kixi, telling them they were going to die. This didn't go down with Kixi very well. She holstered her blaster and jumped at one of them. In the end she took out three of them. But it was now George's turn to deal with the remaining three. He ran at the three lightsabers defending him from the blaster fire. As he was in range he threw one of his blades at one of the storm troopers, slicing him in two. George darted from left to right dodging the bolts from the remaining two. He slashed right slicing one of the storm troopers from shoulder to waist. He continued his run as he jumped into the air spinning whilst he regaining his tossed lightsaber before coming down with a cross slash slicing the last storm trooper into four pieces. It was over, they made their choice and now they will die to regret it.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

As the last of the stormtroopers dropped dead on the ground, Kixi would take a deep breath in and then out again.

"That was breathtaking. What a rush!"

Kixi was referring to the sudden rush of adrenaline that she had experienced in that few minutes during the battle. She then would touch herself all over.

"I've been bruised from the pounding I just copped. It hurts in a lot of places but I'll be okay. We're almost done here anyway. The lead scientist didn't flee to the transport, he's still in the lab. Before we blow it up, let's go pay him a visit."

The two Jedi would then make their way to the nearby lab. An older bald head man with a long white beard stood there with a small flask in his hand. He had awaited them both knowing that all the stormtroopers were dead.

"Stop right there, the both of you, otherwise I'll drop this and the mutating virus will be released in the air."

Kixi put her hand out and up advising for George to stop.

"Now, now none of us really wants that."

"Backoff Jedi girl or else!"

"Jedi girl ha! Well sir I'm more than that. You mister have modified a biological weapon in which I originally created. I was a biological scientist once. I know the effects of what it can do. Please don't. If you come with us we will not harm you. We are here to release all who have been taken by the Imperials against their will's and destroy the weapon and this lab."

"Ah I see. You must be that Kixi that....what was her name was talking about.....umm oh yeah Kajtia. Well Kixi, for one thing I voluntarily came here, and secondly your original weapon was designed to kill lizard like beings. I've modified it greatly that it kills many other nasty creatures except humans. Creatures like that over there."

The old scientist would point at George as he spoke.

"You will hand me over that flask."

"I will hand you the flask"

The mind trick worked, well initially. As the scientist handed over the flask to Kixi, he would then realise what he was doing.

"Hang on why am I handing this over"

The two would then get into a struggle.

"Give it me now!"

"No, let go of me you wrench!"

Kixi was too weak by this stage to fight. Even against the much older scientist who wasn't even a fighter. He somehow grabbed Kixi by the throat, and as Kixi would suddenly gasp for air, lift her up in the air and then smash her on a nearby table. The back of head would hit the corner of the table and knock her out cold. In fact it was quite a serious blow, that Kixi as a result would lay on the floor, back to the floor and her arms and legs would twitch in a spasm before it all stopped and she lay there cold. The scientist had in the scuffle dropped the flask which had fortunately remained intact. It landed in between where the scientist stood and George. He kicked the unconscious Kixi's leg which again would twitch from the kick.

"I'll cut her up slowly so she dies painfully once I'm done with you blue man. You'll be dead once I unleash that virus."

Before he would even finish his words, the scientist had already dived for the flask.

With all the storm troopers dead George thought it was almost over, but there was one thing he had forgot. The head scientist was still in the building as he had not fled to the nearby transport. As they entered he could be seen holding a flask with liquid in it. It was the virus that Kixi had spoke of. As the two of them went to step towards him he warned them not to come any further. With Kixi knowing the effects of the virus she did just that, putting her arm out to stop George as well.

The two spoke about the weapon briefly before George was brought up, the scientist referred to him as 'a creature'. This enraged George, his face like an animal wanting to tear apart his prey, but he couldn't the dangers were too high and Kixi had a plan. She used the force to trick his mind into giving her the flask. It worked momentarily as he walked over to her and placed it in her hand. However he soon snapped out of it and snapped into a rage. Kixi and the scientist fought over the flask, George held back for a moment not wanting to knock the flask and break it, ending his life. However he soon felt he should have, the scientist overpowered the injured Kixi picking her up by the throat and slamming her through a table, resulting in her being knocked out. Although through the battle the flask had fallen, but not broke. It lay a few meters away from the scientist and even further away from George.

With the scientist turning to George issuing a threat to the big Nautolan. "Big mistake science boy. You hurt my friend, you threaten both our lives and you think I'm just going to stand here and watch, I don't think so buddy." George replied as he inched closer to the man. He tried to do it inconspicuously but it didn't work. The scientist noticed his movement and dived for the flask. George quickly created a powerful force push that would slide the scientist across the room away from the flask. "Like I said, bad idea." George now had the upper hand. The flask was equal distance away from both of them and George was still standing. He walked over to the scientist quite slowly. His menacing walk spoke a thousand words. "First you attack her now you try kill me, you really think you could best two Jedi?" George snarled as the scientist as he slowly got to his feet. "Well I bested one of you 'Jedi' didn't I?" The words created more anger for George. He with his skill in telekinesis managed to pick up the scientist with relative ease, he slowly pulled him in, looking him dead in the eye as he got closer. George with his under hand retrieved his off hand lightsaber, igniting the blade. The scientist's quick witted attitude suddenly dissipated with the view of his lightsaber glowing in front of him.

George glanced around the room as he held the scientist in place. He saw what he was looking for and made his way over to it, bringing the scientist with him. It was a blaster. It was sitting on the table near the two of them. George let go of the scientist with a slight push towards the table. "Go on pick it up... Try your best." By now all his courage was gone and the scientist could barley stand. The shakes had taken hold and picking up the blaster was difficult. "Go on shoot me, 'best this Jedi'." He said mockingly to the scientist. In response he grasped the blaster with both hands, with two fingers on the trigger, the sweat dripped off his face as he tried to pull the trigger. It must have been the most difficult of his life. But suddenly it released, a bolt of light flew at George. In an instant George was off, jumping at the bolt and deflecting it away. And in one foul movement impaled the unknowing scientist through the stomach. The scientist dropped to his knees. The blaster fell to the floor, he saw his life fade away as the blood poured out his wound. "Do not ever mess with my friends." George hissed at the unaware scientist.

George quickly made his way back to Kixi trying to wake her, but it was no use. She was out like a light, however she still had a pulse and was breathing, but only just. He lent across picking up the flask, he placed it gently in his suit before picking up Kixi. He carried her out the transport where the two of them would finally leave the death pool.
