Resurgence

[Morse Sunrider]

[member="Cynna Jade Sunrider"]

Morse was listening to her master and it was a great moment for attention, she rubbed her hands together with a bow of her head in agreement where they were going to go in there. She stayed over with some of the things here and now as she looked thinking about it. She wanted to try and work on the different things. They could get around, get in and use it as a chokepoint to try and funnel them but a nargon in close quarters could be both good and bad in her opinion... She dind't want to be stuck with it and no where to really move but she also knew that there was a chance to reduce its mobility before she pushed over with some of the bigger things. THen she felt something and turned with her saber in her hand while she gripped it and was prepared to fight with her master. Thinking about it while she looked at her and then at the large biodroid with a few thoughts as she motioned to it. "Think you can get it to try and come at you with its tail?" She had a planish... but a plan she could work with... get the nargon to strike the merc... they were big and strong but not so bright and liked to smash things. So get him to hurt her while they move and work to disable him quickly.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

There wasn't much time to think. Jade yanked the weapon out of the human's hand first and then flipped through the air, lightsabre ignited and slashed at his torso as she landed. Slicing him in half, he would play no further part in the fight. Prior to executing her move with absolute precision, she heard the words of her padawan, [member="Morse Sunrider"]. She seemed to have a plan, although the master had no idea of what she was intending. She just wanted the beast of a creature to come at her with its tail. "No problem," Jade told her, expressing a cocky grin as she had caught the human attacker's gun in her hand and then had proceeded to kill him on the next move. The Nargon was quick. Upon slicing the man in two, the angry beast who had been facing the padawan and where Jade had been prior to the leap, it decided that the only way it could tackle Jade and keep its eye on the younger padawan was to attempt to swing at Jade with its tail. And it did. "Now Morse!" Jade shouted out. "Now's your chance to do whatever it is you were gonna try. And hurry. More company is on its way up ahead!"

The padawan's plan hinged on th nargon taking out its companion as her master said yes and sliced the man down. There was a look though while she moved working to think of a way to improve and adjust the plan as the large beast barreled towards them with Morse dodging under one of its claws to drive her saber into its leg and there was resistance then nothing when she cleaved a long line through it. Finding the beasts tail rolling over her while it swung rolling her to the side. Ouch... In her head while she rolled onto a rock with her cheek feeling it scratch her face before the nargon turned around. Leg oozing the fluid biodroids leaked and used until it jerked and she could hear it that twist of its leg tearing where the blade hadn't gone through but using the ripped edges. Just like clothing once it was ripped that tear would become bigger. In some cases while she was going over the larger things bringing about her attention and it seemed to get more angry for a droid before running and leaning to overcompensate and was more arcing to the left when she ran to slice at the tail and sever it. They were still learning what the things could do after all so theory about the tail being used for balance.

Jade watched as her padawan attacked the Nargon. She did well as the result from her attacks to it would hinder it. "Good job Morse, now lets run for the tower entrance. That Nargon won't be able to chase us down in the condition it is in now, however those coming at us can, and can kill us for that matter." Jade emphasised the word kill in her voice as she grabbed [member="Morse Sunrider"]'s other arm and got her running towards the tower's entrance. There was no one at the entrance but two armed humans in which Jade sliced down before they could even pull out their guns. Settling behind the door of the tower, they at least had some form of cover and all the incoming enemies could only now attack them from the outside of the door. Well at least for the time being as more would probably come at them from the other side or inside the tower. "Morse see if you can rig those door controls and have it shut and locked. That way we can hold them off for a while. Others will probably come at us from behind soon, those already inside here that is. So please hurry." Jade urged her padawan as she retrieved her own blaster and began shooting at the incoming enemies outside them.

She heard and then felt her master with a nod of her head, they needed to get into cover and an injured droid well was easier to run away from while Cynna was leading the way towards the doors and Morse looked at them. her saber at the ready and pulsing within a moment before she was inside and getting new orders to work on the door while she brought up her forearm with a nod of her head. "On it." The forearm and palm had were made for quickly jacking in and slicing with the help of the AI they had developed for it. To get jedi around the tricky problems until she was moving over many other things and sealing the doors as they closed tightly with Morse deactivating her saber and clipping it to her belt so she could keep working on it and was accessing the controls of the outer terminal when a small group came to it and she set it to overload in their faces.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

Morse had no problems sealing the door shut and wrecking the controls so that it couldn't be opened immediately from the other side. "Good job on the overload trick!" Jade shouted out in approval as several human bounty hunters came at them from the inside of the tower. At least the hallway was narrow now, giving the two Jedi a better chance. From the now sealed door, the two Jedi could hear the thudding on the door. Their enemies were gonna try and open it manually and by force.

"Hold the door, hold the door!" Jade again shouted the instructions to her padawan as the human bounty hunters took up their positions and began firing at the Jedi. Jade instantly had her lightsabre in hand deflecting enemy fire back at them.

"Hold the door, hold the door!" Jade kept yelling as she could begin to see light from the outside slowly begin to burst through, as the enemies on the outside pushed at it to manually to lift it open. By this stage Jade had taken down all but one bounty hunter by simply hitting them with their own blaster fire.

"There is no time for this crap." Jade finally cursed to herself as she yanked the final bounty hunter towards her with the Force and sliced him in 2 as he landed next to her.

"Okay Morse, all clear. Time to go, now!" Without further hesitation, the 2 Jedi began to run deep into the tower and eventually towards a set of turbolifts. "Okay, looks like that's our way up to the top." Jade said pressing the button to the lift as she spoke. The doors hissed opened and soon after the 2 entered, bringing them well on their way to the top of the tower.

Morse ducked and hugged the wall while she kept herself calm with a mantra in her head more then just being skilled in a firefight. She wasn't opposed to fighting but she also wasn't going to like handle the situation before she was moving with her attention ont he door itself. She could work with it and engaged the magnetic seals pulling the jacks out of her datapad and then snapping them in the terminal. She had extra's as you would need them before turning with a few things of her attention on it and her master. Cynna was leading them and handling it with her lightsaber as Morse bowed her head ready to work on any of it with her saber coming out aand up to deflect when they had cleared things and she was moving forward carefully opening one of the doors and covering it with a bow of her head while she stayed in cover but was looking around the room heading inside to ensure no one was in there at first but there were some of the crates they had taken marked with the jedi insignia. "Found some of the stuff." Morse was looking at it and she could feel the lightside of the force rolling off of the meshed robes in there. Touching it it felt like not metal but it was smooth with silk interlaced while she was looking over it. Whatever they were making she could see where it was reacting to her hand and the force pulsing like a bacon of the lightside of the force.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

"We must be getting closer to finding them." Jade nodded at [member="Morse Sunrider"] after she pointed out the crate with the Jedi insignia on it. "Plus I can feel them somewhere here on this level.You can too I take it Padawan?" Jade looked around and then pointed to a blast door on the far side of the large room that they were in. "We gotta figure out how to open that blast door over there." Jade pointed at it after she fried the controls to the turbolift they had come out of only moments earlier. "Yeah I know, I just screwed up our ride back down. But it is the only way we could hold off the mob downstairs for long enough for us to get that blast door open and rescue the Jedi on the other side. We'll figure something out when the time comes in terms of getting back down from here. C'mon lets hurry now." Jade urged the young padawan as they streaked across the room and to the blast door that stood in their way.

She looked at her master and gave a nod holding up the chainmail mesh of it and it was lightweight... like she was holding it but the meshed weaved looked like they were holding string with a small look on her face. "I can, this as well." She held it up and as one of the things that had been stolen she knew the importance of it from Sasori but that it was also tied for the lightsiders to use while she checked it putting in on over her bodysuit and there were some designs. "Looks like they were working on making this to be used with synthweaving it into robes and oh I see." She looked at it and brought it up while finishing to go near the lift with a nod of her head. "Sasori and the jedi artisan's crafted it from wintrium they have learned how to produce and age. With the right age it can become immune to the cutting power of lightsabers and energy. Then they worked on it to augment the force energies to resist and make attacks witht he force unable to reach those wearing it." Morse was prepared for it while searching and she looked at the terminal bringing up her datapad and working on it. To oversee all of the things as there were some labs with machinery. "we can go through here." Morse was pointing and leading into some of the rooms full with the human biot droids they were developing.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

"Sounds very interesting indeed." Jade admitted as she checked out the chainmail mesh that her padawan was displaying and trying out. "And if there is a weapons lab in the next room or nearby, all the better that we blow this tower so it crumbles to the ground. That's after we rescue the Jedi first."

Jade retrieved several detonators and began planting them in key locations of the room. "We'll need to plant some more in the other room after we discover the lab. Hopefully there are some extra detonators in there too that we can use. Once we have the Jedi, we'll need to plant some more at the base of the tower as well. From there I'll detonate all the bombs once we are all clear and at a safe distance from the tower."

Jade looked around one more time to make sure no one was coming. It seemed all good, but she could begin to hear noises getting closer. "Looks like company isn't too faraway. They'll be greeting us shortly. Please after you Morse." Jade gestured with her hand towards the the rooms her padawan had been referring to earlier. "Lead the way."

Morse gave a nod fo her head while going over some fo the things they could do. Setting charges to detonate when they were cleared as the padawan started working on the computers to see what else they could access. If they had this information and were using the old machines to create new nargons then that meant they had made either advances ot figured out how to use it. Morse could see that being invaluable while she set up her datapad to download it and she was looking things over. "Alright lets go and rescue the jedi then make sure the information here isn't used against more people. If the nargons could be weaponized better they could be a problem."

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

"I like the way you think," Jade commented as [member="Morse Sunrider"] was done with the data download. "Yes to the Jedi, follow me." They made their way back to the main area to where that blast door was. Somewhere on the other side is where the Jedi were, this Jade was certain of. Yet her train of thought was suddenly interrupted. "Morse look! Watch out! Incoming at the turbolift door! We have company!" Jade already had her lightsabre at the ready as the rush of an incoming Nargon and several human bounty hunters came at them with one only intention. To kill the two Jedi that had broken their way to the top of the tower who had been posed at stopping them.

Morse stayed with it while they were finishing the information and the way of making human biots would prove effective in understanding the technology... or process as they were generally considered human save needing to have a feeding tube as their sole source of food and their emotions were very removed compared to most in the galaxy. The jedi padawan was moving when she pushed her attention towards section with nargons and bounty hunters while they were going to meet up with the other jedi and she stayed there crouching lower. "Alright ready." She had the data and the map of where they were going quickly before moving off to the side and holding the saber to deflect a shot back at the bounty hunter as she clipped the kneecap when they were crouched down getting under that plate for kneeling before she threw some debris at the Nargon slipping into a section of cover when it charged down to attack her.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

There would be no time to waste. Key factor was to reduce the number of attackers as soon as possible. Two Jedi against one Nargon didn't present too much of a problem on its own. Especially in such a confined space where no stray sniper fire and the like could hit them. They just had to rid the few human bounty hunters that had come in with it. Jade counted 5. 4 were bunched in together and near the lift. The other her padawan had deflected his own blaster fire back at him and hit him in the knee. He was down but could still shoot and was shooting. No good she thought to herself.

"Morse take care of the Nargon. I'll be back once I get rid of all the bounty hunters."

Using the Force Jade ran towards the 4 bounty hunters near the lift, deflecting laser bolts in the process with her lightsabre. With her other hand, she retrieved her blaster and shot the lone bounty hunter who was injured and on his knees in the head, ending his part in the fight quickly. In the process of running at the other 4, one went down after his own blaster fire hit him in the chest. The other 3 Jade Force pushed back into the lift using the Force. Before they could even get their balances back, Jade tossed a thermal grenade in the lift. The explosion given they were in a confined space was deafening to say the least as Jade herself was thrown back and hit bit shrapnel. Jade lay on the floor for a good part of a minute before getting back on her feet. Her padawan was still battling with the Nargon creature. Jade summoned all her strength to get back on her feet. Limping she leaped over to where her padawan was already in the thick of it.

"I'm back, guess its just us and that creature now." Jade commented clearly in agony and bleeding all over. "Oh and yeah let's fight now and worry about me later." Jade added in sarcastically.

Yeah take the easy ones... Morse was looking at her and glad somewhat to at least have the mesh even if it did look a little strange while she was moving forward to confront the Nargon that was slashing at her. The padawan was moving with more purpose to bring herself towards the nargon as it slashed with a look on her face. "Understood." She worked the attack in when it slashed trying to pin her to the wall while she dropped down to avoid it and the biodroids slash when it went into the wall hollding his claws for a moment. Morse allowed her own force energies to go out and prepare while sending the energies until she was behind him jumping over the beast droids tail to avoid it smashing her against the wall or tearing her apart. She was burying her saber into his back and shoulder to go for its core with a look on her face of determination when it flailed around in the pathway of the tunnel scratching against the mesh and nothing. SHe could feel the impact but the protective layer was protecting her arm and neck as the claws slid against it getting an impressive nod. "Alrigt come on you." Emboldened just a little while the saber pierced the chest of the biodroid Morse was wiggling it up and down to openup more of it as the thing laid on the ground twitching and then waggled it to leave a large section of its chest cut out with its vital components.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

By the time the injured Jade had gotten back to the fight with [member="Morse Sunrider"] and the Nargon, it had been very much over. The droid creature lay on the floor twitching and then stopped. Jade starred down at it for a moment before collapsing on her knees.

"Taking out all those bounty hunters in one hit wasn't easy. Well perhaps I do not do myself justice by taking them out the wrong way. I wanted to hurry up to assist you with this beast of a creature, but it happens you clearly were able to hold your own. Well done Morse."

Jade breathed heavily as she spoke. Exhausted, she was bleeding a bit due to small amounts of shrapnel that had hit her, plus she had rips at random parts all over her clothing.

"Before we proceed beyond the blast doors to the Jedi, I'll need you to help me heal myself. Not sure if you know how to use the Force to heal another, but I do. Except its me that needs the healing. Padawan Sunrider, I need to to hold me tightly so come down on your knees with me. I need to meld with you so I can use our combined energies to heal my facial cuts and various other cuts on my body. I am too weak to do it on my own at the moment. This will only take a few minutes. The turbolift is out of order thanks to me, but doesn't mean reinforcements are not on their way. We must hurry with this and move on." Jade said encouraging her padawan yet at the same time stressing the urgency of the matter.

Morse looked at her master and at the droid as she gave a nod... the mesh helped it made you feel powerful and stronger... frak she would even admit she kind of understood what the AI was talking abou now while her hand was taking out the healing cube and bacta with a look. "Whatever they were working on if this is a prototype then I want the real thing. I can run around and move in it but it is easily able to withstand those claws and a blaster shot." She was bruised underneath all of the armor sure but she was also very calm and focused with the force energies while holding the cube and focusing it over her master with the blue synthetic healing crystal of fire lighting up to start healing her master.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

As [member="Morse Sunrider"] held the cube over Jade, the blue synthetic healing crystal of fire began healing her. Jade closed her eyes focusing on the energy from the crystal. Melding her Force energy with it, she allowed herself to become one with it in unison, allowing its powers to engulf her. It was a magnificent sight, even though Jade had her eyes shut and couldn't see it. The padawan could however. Then within several minutes it would all be over with Jade snapping out of her trance. Getting up and shaking herself over, she inspected herself to ensure that she indeed had been healed. Satisfied, she looked over to her padawan.

"Thank you Morse, that was lets say very refreshing. Now to the blast doors. We need to cut through it with our lightsabres. I will cut to the left and you to the right. Eventually our lightsabres will meet and a hole through the door we shall have." Jade said dashing over to the blast door.

 

[Morse Sunrider]

[member="Cynna Jade Sunrider"]

She looked at her master as they finished up and standing there in the meshed robe while she rolled her shoulders feeling it refreshing and like a very nice burst of energy. Morse stayed at it before sliding the cube back into her belt with her masters orders to start cutting the door and she had her saber ready to use on the door. "Alright, lets do it master." Morse was prepared gripping it into a reverse grip and then in her hand went over the pommel prepared to work on it while she slid the blade listenign with the force to the base in case any of them were approaching. She started to lean into it and start cutting on the door while her master was cutting into the other side with a look on her face of determination.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

The strength of the door was strong and solid. Expected given it was a blast door. Cutting through it even with lightsabres took time. Fortunately there were two Jedi in this case cutting through it, and furthermore Jade's destruction of the turbolift meant no more unwelcome company would be showing up. Well not through the normal point of entry anyway.

Finally the sabres of both Jade and Morse met forming a shape that resembled a circle somewhat. With both Jedi releasing their lightsabres, Jade motioned for her padewan to step aside as she kicked the inside part of the door where the cut was in. Assisted by the Force, it popped out away from where the two Jedi stood, toppling over into the room in which the two Jedi had sought to enter. Then sensing no danger, the two entered.

Jade looked around feeling with the Force at the same time.

"Over there, the stasis pods. The Jedi are in there."

Jade and Morse hurried to where the pods were.

"The controls are here. I have no idea how to operate them. We have to assume that if we do it wrong that it can kill them. Have you ever operated one of these before?" Jade asked just in case her padewan knew, as that would save them a lot of time they already were short on in having to work it out.
