Red Hot Shili Peppers

Darth Azurea watched the Togruta go first into the village, leaping from the turu-grass as though hunting an Atul. His powerful physique never failed to distract her from whatever else was going on. She still marveled at his speed and strength, just like the day she met him on Ruusan as a padawan. But she composed herself, and as Darth Pyrrhus attacked from one side of the village, Azurea attacked from the opposite. She could hear faint screams, signaling the Togruta Sith Lord's frightening onslaught. As the village saw her approach, the Daughter of Agony ignited her lightsaber and deflected a few stray blaster bolts, but like the Kursids, these Togruta were fairly insular and primitive. Most of them attacked with spears which were easily flung away with Telekinesis. The women and children ran. Furrowing her brow, she knew that a few females would be good to capture, selling as exotic dancers, but it was easier to tell Pyrrhus they had scattered. It was an indulgent, white lie and she was almost certain he would not detect her deception.

Using the Force, Darth Azurea pushed the warriors into one area. They shouted at her in Togruti, cursing her and spitting at the ground. As she wrangled about eight strong warriors into chains, she scanned them for signs of the Force but felt none. The brunette Sith Lord had dust in her hair, on her boots and mud caked on her face now from the quick tussle with the warriors. Her side of the village had emptied out, and Azurea went from hut to hut, looking for valuables or clothing even. While Kazarak was profitable it wouldn't hurt to take some of the villagers belongings, especially the armor and weapons of the males.

Using telepathy, she called to Darth Pyrrhus, This side is clear and I have eight villagers. Pyrrhus would probably have a few more than that, knowing he may have been able to capture some women and children as well, while Azurea willingly let them flee.

The disturbance in the force stirred his sleep but it was the terrified screams in the village that had awoken the Jedi Knight. His force aura shining blindingly as the force flowed freely through him, Moments later he was exiting the hut with a saber hilt in each hand and clad in his robed Beskar'gam.

That's when he spotted her, The Sith lord rampaging through the small village. He was alone here and knew that his chances of victory were slim to none but he was a Jedi and it was his duty to save those being oppressed by the Darkside.

Snap Hissss

The Lightsabers in his hands ignited, The violently violet blades extending from the hilts as he took off at a run. Using the force to power his legs turning the Jedi into a blur as he ran towards the Darksider. Once within thirty feet from the woman the Knight force jumped into the sky to begin his attack. His blades being swung downward aimed to hopefully sever the siths arms from her body as he landed.

Darth Azurea was about to call it a day in this village, when her preternatural senses picked up a sudden Force signature. There was no time to ponder as to why she hadn't detected it sooner as the Togruta Jedi was upon her. Lightning fast, Azurea ignited her own crimson saber, the familiar buzz like a panacea to her fear, and she blocked the duel blades with a Sarlaac sweep - up down, back up and down again. With a lady-like grunt, she then Force pushed the assailant back towards the closest hut. He was strong, in both form and Force, she would give him that. While she wasn't sure he was a Master, the Togurta was no Padawan.

The Sith Lord had a Force Suppression collar among her belongings, but needed to subdue the Jedi enough to retrieve it. Dun Moch would have to do as a distraction until she could reach it. Maybe with Telekinesis even.

"It's futile," she said in a husky growl. "I've captured all of the men. They will be taken from their home and made to fight or work for whoever can pay the most. And you, Jedi. You will be the best prize of all."

She laughed knowing he would not take her up on this suggestion. "Surrender if you know what's good for you."

Darth Azurea would not let him know that there was another Sith Lord in the village presently. But it wouldn't take long for Darth Pyrrhus to hear and feel the dark and light battle that had erupted not too far from him.

Tarentatek leather boots dug deep into the dirt as he fought against her force push but managed to maintain his own balance. Ignoring the words of the Sith lord he charged forwards once more, His sabers slashing through the air as he did. The lightsaber in his left hand coming down aimed to cut across her chest from her right shoulder to her left hip as the lightsaber in his right hand came up in a violent slash aimed to cleave her in half from pelvis to neck as he let out a shout the reverberated with the force..... today is the day you face judgement Sith!!!"

Pyrrhus was making great progress at rounding up the citizens of the settlement from his flank. They had come at him in force, with arms raised. Though they had come at him to fight, the Togruta Sith had declined the offer of his countrymen. No collision of blades or spears took place, no evasion of blaster bolts. The Force was the weapon deployed today, and against it they had no defense.

In a move intended to overpower their minds, cripple their will to fight, then their minds themselves, the Mentalist had with outstretched hands, closed eyes but an open mind, incapacitated them all. The minds of those who were strong at will and resisted him the most, he had obliterated, to make the conquest of the others easier. Some had been incapacitated and left on the ground, while a select few had been controlled to round off the group, like a herd of cattle.

With his side conquered and secured, his attention extended beyond his own personal battlefield. What of Azurea? It became clear to him then that she had been interrupted, and that she now found herself embroiled in a battle. They had company. A Jedi? Most likely.

This demanded further investigation. Pyrrhus then deviated from his zone of control, and through the use of Force Speed, made his way towards the engaged combatants at a great pace.
