Royalty Against a Dark Knight (The Royal Order)

[Rayen Katoka]

Belasco​

-------------------------------​

​

Today was rather a nice day on Belasco. The sun was actually out today, warming it up a bit. Inside the castle of Belasco, there was a young princess by the name of Rayen Katoka Saisona, the leader of Belasco. Even though the sun was out, inside, the bored 16 year old sat in the library doing her studies. She could only wish for the action to happen again. She was honestly wishing that she was practicing the Force instead of sitting here with her nose in a book.

Sure.. a year ago, her friend, Nick had saved her from adoptive Sith parents who had kidnapped her from her father. She was always doing something.. but it was never where she wanted to be. She was grateful for the save, but then Nick became busy with Jedi business and left the planet. Then there was restoring the palace. Rayen and her newly hired staff, along with the still living that she was able to convince to come back, had helped her create a memorial for her father and the staff that were murdered that day. It was a very emotional thing for Rayen and the staff to see, but they all worked through it.

So yes, there was still cleaning up in the palace to do.. but it was alot and Rayen was under close watch as one of her original staff was her mentor when it came to Rayen getting some knowledge. This same woman was also Rayen's godmother. What her godmother didn't know, is that Rayen was swift, quiet and very sneaky.

When the older woman turned her back to go search for more books for Rayen to read, the teen snuck out of the library and silently ran to her room, grabbing what was said to be her mother's old lightsabers. She grabbed them, placing them on her belt and then found her jacket that matched her outfit and put it on.

After she was ready, she made sure the coast was clear and made a dash for the back door and made it out into town. The town seemed nice and it was busy.. but what the planet didn't know is that a visitor would be coming soon..

On board the Retribution class Star Destroyer The Revanant,and prototype. Thomas Kyrel was standing on the bridge overlooking the icy world which was nothing special but his vision of the force,had drawn him here,and now he going to put an end to those visions. Throughout his short time he was undergoing training as a knight of Ren within the First Order,and managed to start using his agony from his suit to fuel his power in the Dark Side. To the men on board he was another Darth Vader,and often watched themselves to avoid the wraith of the force sensitive cyborg. With practicing the force,and constructing a lightsaber,he had unexplained visions of a young girl roughly 4 years younger than him. He had no idea who she was,but what he did see she was royalty,and what brought him here was that he recognized the old structures he had seen in the holograms from the scanners that looked at the city below it,which brought him here in the first place.

As he was overlooking the planet,he felt her force signature. She was quite strong,and was eagerly looking to capturing her. One of the officers a young female approached him,who what he could sense was slightly nervous of him,she said. "Sir,what are our orders?" He pondered a moment before turning back to look at her. His red photorecepters look at her,and he replies in his baritone. "I want you to dispatch a squadron or two to the city,and soften their defenses. Than ready the troop transports,and my shuttle." The officer bows,and within minutes TIE fighters are sent down. Their are about four in both two of the squadrons,that are sent. The howl of Twin ion engines and the screech of green laser fire hit the air as they target key defensive positions throughout the city preparing for the main assault force that is to come.

Rayen was doing pretty well so far. The streets were a little bit busier than usual and a few people walking by, acknowledged their queen, offering a quick hand shake or a simple smile and nod of the head to each other. It truly felt good to be back without the Sith on her back... Until now. As she was walking, Rayen sensed something familiar. It was upsetting to herself that she was so used to the feeling of Darkness. She hated it. Especially after everything she went through as a little girl.

Now what she sensed was something bigger than inquisitors. He was more powerful than her abusive parents and she started regretting being in the middle of the open and stared sensing that something was more than off. She had such a bad feeling, so she pulled out her comm link that contacted her base.

"Commander? Are you there?"

she asked into the comm. Sure enough, her commander picked up the comm link and responded.

"Yes, my lady. I'm here. How can I be of service?"

he responded. Rayen devised a plan in her head quickly and responded after a few seconds of silence.

"I need you to take a search party above the planet. Please take the fighter jets. I have a bad feeling about something and I need to make sure I'm correct about what I'm feeling. Get a few men ready and get yourselves out there as quickly as possible. Please stay safe and may the force be with you."

She finally responded. The Commander gave confirmation and soon she heard the rip of her jets and saw them over head as they raced to search for trouble. When she looked at the sky hard enough she could just make the outline of a Star Destroyer hovering right above the planet. Her predictions were right. Soon, blaster fire could be heard and the familiar roar of engines could be heard as three of her men plus TIE fighters engaged into a dog fight. Rayen then called back to her Commander giving out the Order to tell the rest of his men to suit up and get out there with him.

The teen then looked after her people, making sure they got under cover as quickly and calmly as possible.

​

TIE's were in a dogfight with some primative looking fighters. The squadron engaging them had only suffered limited casualties,but thanks to the excellent training they achieved taking them out was no problem. Within an hour defenses like AA guns were taken out. The squadron leader reported to Kyrel's comm and said. "Sir we have managed to deal with the enemy fighters with limited casualties,and we have taken out there defenses." Thomas thought for a moment and replied very pleased. "Good work now clear out of there and provide escort for the troop transports." Minutes after the comm ended Stormtroopers were scrambling in the hanger bays to get to there transports. Their was 20 in each of the 4 transports. Making about 80 soldiers in all. They departed with haste down to the planet,and within moments after landing in different corners of the city,started to run out firing the blasters,and engaging the security forces driving them deeper into the city.

Thomas looked pleased as he was overlooking the hologram of the city his forces were striking from three strategic points. one pushing from the left,the next to the right,and another pushing straightforward going to the center. He climbed aboard his theta class shuttle with his stormtrooper escort,and departed from the hanger to the planet,eager to face his foe down below,and swore he felt her fear and that alone was exhilarating.

​

Rayen was ushering people into a strong shelter that was large enough to hold the entire city's population. Which now was few, but there were still alot of people. As she was ushering, she was also watching the dogfight between the fighters up above. At the same time, she kept checking around to make sure people had filed into the bomb shelter or at least stayed away from the outdoors for now until the fighting stopped. Then there was static coming through on her comm.

"Your majesty! My men have been taken down and the status coming from the base is not good. The guns have been - ack!!"

There was static as he spoke but she lost him after hearing the last explosion as the comms were complete static.

"NO!!"

she announced loudly. Soon, transports coming from left to right landed in the city. Rayen saw them coming in and saw and her blaster fire coming from their way as people who hadn't gotten into the bomb shelter screamed and ran trying to duck and dodge blaster fire. The citizens came running to her asking and begging for help hopelessly. Rayen took the scared woman by the shoulders, calming her down.

"Ma'am. Just calm down. Get yourself and you family into the bomb shelter. You know your way in. Now go! I'll hold them off."

With that, the woman took her family and others followed her as they made their way to the bomb shelter. Rayen then had a look that was usually one that if people saw on her face, they should find another planet because she was getting down to business. As the troopers came, hey were shooting and she simply started waling towards the troopers with a scary calm and dodged the bolts that came her way as she then took her lightsabers and ignited hem before stopping. Immediately, Rayen started blocking blaster shots, making sure people got into the bomb shelter.

The Stormtroopers were pushing towards the palace. Along the way they executed both military personnel and civilians alike. They fired upon what looked to be a Jedi,and she kept blocking the shot's the squad leader who was commanding the attack from the right contacted Kyrel,and spoke via comlink. "Sir,we seem to be running into a problem with the objective. We have encountered what looked to be a Jedi." Upon hearing this he was very excited he had drawn his prey out of hiding as the shuttle descended to it's location,and the wings folded he said back. "Good commander,Ignore her and press the palace leave her to me,and kill anyone that is not a stormtrooper standing in your way." The commander nodded as the comlink shut off,and directed his squad to move towards the palace while the attack from the left kept her distracted.


The shuttle opened it's ramp,and Kyrel stepped off the landing ramp with his stormtrooper escort. He commanded them to guard the ship. While he began his brisk long strides through the battle ignoring the blaster fire,and cutting down any enemy he encountered with his red blade in one quick strike still pressing on. He than came to where the left squad was,and ordered them to stop firing. He than saw his prey at last through his red vision,and chuckled with his baritone,and said with his saber activated and resting downwards on his left side. ​"Well Young ling it seems we meet at last." His metallic baritone boomed and sounded as if he was mocking her.

​

Rayen continued blocking blaster fire that came from the left and heard a voice over the screams and blaster fire. There was a commander to her right who seemed to be shifting their position. At the same time, in one swift move, Rayen jumped in front of the commander while dodging blaster fire and made a face before doing a mind trick, shutting down his brain.

After she was through with him, she made sure to be quick with the troopers that were filing in. Right now, there were at most 40 troopers out here with her and she was cutting them down in a breeze. After she finished with the men on the right, she walked back over to the left continuing to dodge and block blaster fire as she approached them.

As she made her way forward, she sensed darkness coming from behind her to her right until a voice could be heard. Immediately, the teenager stopped, straightened up and turned around to see the tall Sith Knight before her after he ordered for a pause in firing. As she turned, a small smirk could be seen on her face as she now faced him, her sabers held in a reverse form, the blades upright as if they were two blue and silver lights coming from her shoulders.

"Well, well, well. The Sith I have heard so much of finally comes and destroys my city. What a coincidence."

she said, sounding as if she was giving it right back to him.

"Tell me, Kyrel. Truly how long have you been planning this thing? What a terrible, horrible way to ambush someone. You really need a better class of military. It sucks. Truly. Let's see.. you had what? 80 men total? I think I did you a favor by ridding these men of their grief. I'd say you have at least half the men you came in with. Plus, to top it all off, it's your highness to you."

Rayen responded with firmness evident in her voice. She showed no fear of him and though he was the taller man, she took the job of becoming the bigger man. She was small, but mighty and very tough. She had very little fear of Sith, due to growing up with it as a little girl.

Thomas could hear how smug she was. She thought that she was so confident. Perhaps she was just speaking out of foolishness and arrogance. Either way she had no idea who she was dealing with. He than heard how she had heard of him surprisingly,and called him a Sith. This made whatever blood he had left boil,he was something far greater and more powerful than the Sith,and he himself knew that. He glared at her through the red photorecepters,and said after signaling the troops to press their attack leaving the two alone. "You dare refer to me as something so selfish you brat. I am a Knight of Ren training to become stronger,and i serve something far greater than the Sith."

He deactivated his saber but kept it firmly within his grasp,and said with a calm tone. ​"We need not be adversary's. You can walk a different path greater than that of a Jedi. I had planned this for quite sometime,and it wouldn't be any fun if i just blasted you to kingdom come now wouldn't it."

He walked forward slowly,and stopped for a moment awaiting her answer,and as he did his black cape moved a little with the ice cold wind.

​

Rayen may not have exactly known him to a T, but one, she wasn't afraid of him, he was just a troubled man behind a mask and two, she could put up a good fight. She was confident and she exactly what she was doing. Rayen then sensed his anger through the force and raised an eyebrow at him, giving him a look that said "Really?"

He may think that she wasn't confident, but she was a queen and she really had no other choice than to be confident ad have faith in herself and her people. Hearing what he said made her scoff.

"Is that supposed to impress me? Because if it is, hmmmm.. feeling no impression. You know me as a Jedi, but I am also Queen of this planet."

she stated firmly. Once he deactivated his lightsaber, her blades slid back into their hiding place and she crossed her arms, still holding them. She saw him walking forward as an ice cold breeze came over the two, her ponytail blowing in the wind.

"Consider your plan destroyed, Kyrel. I will never join the Dark Side or your little scheme."

she replied, calmly but firmly.

Thomas laughed,and his vocabulator let it boomed. This girl who was only four years younger than him was a fool at best. She had the nerve to call herself Jedi but she was no such thing,merely a child playing with lightsabers. He than approached her more close right to the point where his tall dark frame was enveloping her tiny form. He glared at her,and said. "I already knew that child. Just because you play with lightsabers make you no Jedi." He laughed again upon hearing that his plan had failed,and replied with a confidant tone. "Oh trust me youngling. Turning you wasn't my plan. Part one of my plan is to lay waste to this settlement,and kill everyone you care about as well as other political leaders. I even sensed your pathetic family members here,maybe i'll make you watch as i kill them nice,and slow. As for the second part,i'll let you live long enough to find out." He chuckled as he finished his statement.


He than reactivated his saber,and with a hiss the red blade reignites once more,and with his saber arm raises it above his head,and brings it down upon her in a powerful Djem So attack.

​

Rayen kept a firm gaze that stared him down.. or up in this case as she heard his laugh and she stayed in the same position. Her feet at shoulder width, her back straight and her hands on the hilts of the sabers that sat on her belt that lined up perfectly with her legs. She may have been forced to grow up with Sith, but she dare not dive into such dubious ways. Surely he had no idea of what she dealt with throughout her life and she trained herself along with the help of her old friend Nick. He was gone now, but she continued the lessons he gave her and she added in her own little twists, which gave her a wider knowledge and a little bit of an advantage.

"Oh you have no idea. I'm more Jedi than you know. Someone has trained me and I continued his teachings by myself."

She responded. Rayen's eyebrow only shifted the very slightest as she heard him laughing again.

"Good luck finding them. We have so many hiding places that you wouldn't believe. I came up with those hiding spots. They're lightsaber proof, force proof, blaster proof and biologically protected, PLUS highly unnoticeable."

Rayen said, looking right into those evil red eyes that seemed to glow with darkness and anger rolling from them like smoke behind a closed door. When he spoke of her family she scoffed.

"Which one? The original, the evil adopted, my godmother or my staff? Or even my master who isn't on world? Hate to break it to ya, but if you're sensing my real parents, then you have to be sensing their force spirits, because my mother died 16 years ago and my father 15. If you're saying the evil adopted, go ahead cause they did me wrong. I put those sith in exile the minute I was back in the throne."

she responded. Immediately, Rayen sensed a move was coming upon her and within seconds, his bloody red blade sprung to life as he brought it above his head and started coming down on top of her. As he did so though, she stepped to her left very quickly and smoothly held her hands in fists by her chest and brought her right foot up in one fluid motion, giving him a hard forceful kick and then force pushed him all in one move before she then ignited her own lightsabers once more and spun them into her backhanded form and awaited his next attack.

Thomas took the brunt of the kick,and said. "Ah." He than walked over,and to bash at her form with slow and powerful strikes. He truly was another Darth Vader,and that had it's advantages and disadvantages. One being he was taller,and had a better reach making it difficult for her to fight him. The next was that he can overpower her due to his strength and stamina of his cybernetics. The disadvantage was that due to his state lightsaber combat was a bit difficult but he did practice Vader's style so it wasn't all that bad.

He proceeded to press his attack as his anger and pain turned into a whirlwind of dark side energy,giving him and energy boost,and so he relentlessly started bashing at her sabers with enough power it started to push her back,and he kept at it aiming for one of her weapon hands,knowing she couldn't defend forever.

​

Rayen would then prepare herself for his attacks. He was slow, but strong. She was rather quick, being able to add in her own attacks, using her most favorite form, Ataru. He was exactly a foot taller than her, but the father that stole her from her real dad, completely towered over her, being at least 7 feet tall.

A small smirk could be seen upon her face as she was starting to get bored with this fight. Sure he was strong, but so was she. He was so slow though and if she was going her full strength, she would be five attacks ahead of him and he would be a million pieces in front of her. Kyrel then started backing her into a wall and with one of her tricks, when his saber was well out of the way, she kicked upwards, catching his mask with her foot, giving it enough force to knock it off of his head. After she put her foot back on the ground, her sabers came to the outside of her and she leveraged herself, before she then force jumped over his head, landing perfectly behind him.

​

Kyrel kept up his assault. Under his training he studied Lord Vader's style closely through some old holos. He used a mix of different forms during his reinvention of Form V's Djem So. It proved very effective against his enemies so he practiced it,and it was coming in handy in his first lightsaber duel. He used some of the same movements he used while pushing the little girl back against the wall.

As the duel went on.he saw a smirk form on her lips,that was infuriating his yellow eyes gazed at her through the red photorecepters,and within seconds she maneuvered her blades where his saber was slightly twisted and knocked out of his hands. He was angry so angry that he was growing tired of her,and an evil thought formed in his head as she tried to knock his helmet off,unfortunately for her his helmet couldn't be taken off so easily as it was firmly attached to the two pumps of bacta on the neck of his suit,and connected to the back of his suit. 'Your going to pay dearly for that youngling.' After her attempt to knock his helmet off,he kneed her in the stomach,and with rage proceeded to beat the holy hell out of her,with his durasteel fists going from her stomach to her ribs,and on to her face knocking her against the wall with the overwhelming force of his fists,and he was enjoying every moment of it.

​

Rayen recognized his fighting technique and remembered someone similar who used the same form.. Darth Vader. He was a vicious man.. I mean cyborg and a ruthless robot to anyone in his way. Though Kyrel was firm, he was easier to predict as his form was bumble-y and it was rather messy. While Rayne made Ataru look flawless.

She could sense his anger building as she attempted to kick his mask off especially after the little smirk that was growing on her face. She was only waiting for the action to start. Then he went to hand to hand combat, which she very well trained in. As he went to knee her in the stomach, she stepped to the left and she deactivated her lightsabers, quickly placing them back on her belt.

"Don't call me youngling. Just because you are a so called 'Knight of Ren' doesn't put you any higher than a queen."

She said firmly. He was able to get a few punches into her stomach area as she let him get one or two before she then caught his hands with force imbued strength to stop him. He had no idea what kind of workout she went through as a child. She had a six pack of her own. He then pushed her into the wall and she dodged two punches that went for her head. After, she got some leverage and lifted herself up, kicking him onto his rear-end very forcefully, that she'd be surprised if he didn't leave an indent or crack in the concrete.

Rayen was way too ready for his attacks. It was as if it was a rehearsed scene in an action movie.

[Kyrel Ren]

Thomas was growing very angry his rage had built up so much that it was palpable. He kept trying to hit her and bash her with the strength of his cybernetics,but he had only landed a couple of hard hits to her stomach,but she blocked the rest. Even with his rage a part of him was rather impressed,but she was still going to get crushed. After hearing her remark he retorts with. "Really. Some Queen you are,I'm going to destroy this pathetic capital of yours,Then you'll have nothing. You are nothing,That is all you will ever be."


He had finally reached his breaking point. His rage took over him,and he let out a fierce roar with his vocabulater that manifested into a form of Force Scream,destroying several objects around him such as windows,vehicles,and even knocking down civilians. He force pulled his lightsaber to him,and reactivated the blood shine blade. He resumed his assault more brutal than ever. He pulled his saber over his head with both hands and quickly started bashing at her with all of his might,and strength. He was determined with his power to break her defenses,and was trying hard to knock her sabers out of her hands.

[Rayen Katoka]

Rayen could sense the anger coming from him in waves. He fought ok, but she was well trained in the time she could get and can't say I didn't warn ya, she puts up a good fight and is petty darn agile. Hearing what he said, only made her laugh. She was definitely not in her right mind at the moment. Rayen shook her head in disbelief at his underestimation of her.

"Is that supposed to make me feel bad? Because if so.. it isn't working. It's not like I haven't heard that 15 years out of my life. And you can destroy this place brick by brick, but we will only come back even stronger, better prepared and more armed than before."

she responded firmly and coldly. Just then something was wrong and she instinctively covered her ears, putting one knee to the ground and covering her head. After he finished roaring like a lion, she rolled away from the wall and jumped up, drawing the blue and silver blades in a fluid motion, doing a spin as she blocked every attack he had. What he didn't seem to realize yet, is that even though she was younger and supposedly had no experience, she was quicker and he may not want to admit it, but she was a few steps ahead of him and was a little bit better than him. At one point, he knocked the blue blade from her hand and she blocked two strikes as she then back flipped away from him and grabbed her lightsaber, re-igniting it just in time to block his next attacks.

If he wanted to get anywhere with her, he'd have to use the force to either shut down her mind, stunning her or he'd have to break one of her legs or ankles with the force. Because she was quick, thorough and quite dangerous.

[Kyrel Ren]

Kyrel roared with fury. He was no longer in a state of reason,the dark side,and rage consumed him so he pressed his attack once more. She was more experienced in combat than he was,but their was one thing she didn't have. His cybernetics she could grow tired very quickly he on the other hand would not,so that gave him an edge.

After she back flipped getting her saber,he charged at her,grabbing her by the throat and squeezing tightly on her trachea. Within his grasp he could end her life quickly if he had so wished,this however was only the beginning. He sprinted towards a wall,and in a blind fury repeatedly started to bashing her head into it several times all the while saying. "Shut your karking mouth schutta. I'm going to really enjoy doing this to you."

[member="Rayen Katoka"]

 

[Rayen Katoka]

All Rayen could sense right now, was pure darkness. Chills went down her spine as she felt it as well. He continued his attack, bashing her defenses harder and harder as if he was trying to smack the lightsabers from her hands. She knew he was cybernetic, but she'd have to fight until she could stand no longer. She would fight until she grew to be too tired.

Rayen was prepared for his next attack, but instead of using her lightsaber, he grabbed her by the neck and slammed her into the wall a few times. She shook the stars from her eyes, quickly putting her sabers back on her belt and laughed even though her throat was close to being crushed. He then slammed her head into the wall a few more times, giving her cuts and scrapes all over her face. She then shook it off one more time.

She then got tired of feeling her head banging against the wall. If she got anymore she'd probably go stupid. So the force and energy gather up inside of her and her hands slammed against the wall and she screamed as a flurry of ice, snow and bone cold air came from her at such a speed it would blow him across the square. As he would let go, her feet would hit the ground, but then stood up, not really realizing what she did and she got a look on her face that would scare the dead. Her eyes now glowed an icy blue as the chilling breeze toyed with her hair. She stood straight and through the snow, he'd see a well built Rayen standing in the blizzard that she was unknowingly controlling.

"You were saying?"

Her voice would echo over the wind.

The ground would begin to shake and a distant but loud shrieking noise would be heard. A few moments later, most of the city would be doused in a dark shadow as a starship descended from the clouds, with the First Order naval insignia adorning the wings of the vessel. Two large but fast TIE fighters seemingly fell from the vessel's hangers and began to fly towards Kyrel and Rayen. The fighters flew right over the two, and instead fired missiles into the palace behind them, taking out four armored vehicles that were attempting to help out their princess.

Thomas would hear his comlink buzz and the sound of a female voice emit from it,"This is the commander of the Kaedo. I am under orders to level the city palace. You have one minute to vacate the area. Turbolasers are authorised"
