Redeemer
Mission Name: Slave to the Grind
Mission Location: Tatooine

Mission Objective: Rescue captured slaves
Tattooine Debris and her body went flying. With the gust of wind that came with with the blow, Kiskla's lithe frame twisted and she landed on her feet, both of her lightsabers pointed behind her.
So far, they had only exposed strips of flesh on the monster's body and not done any damage. Well, other than the defeat of infiltrating the ring.
She thought this kind of thing only happened on Geonosis, but half a week into their investigation, Kiskla and her Padawan had determined otherwise. And now they were knee deep in the mess of the outskirts of Tattooine. Or maybe it wasn't outskirts, she was having trouble keeping track of all the sand.
She could taste blood in her mouth, and feel the hot stick of sweat against her brow. Her attention was divided between the massive adversary, and the well-being of her Padawan learner. This had been their first venture, the two of them, chasing down an ambiguous league of slave traders that lead to an undercover gladiatorial arena; and here she was almost getting him killed.
"@[member="Dar'rak"]!" Kiskla called above the noise of the frustrated creature. Once she had his attention, she released her grip on one of her blades, sending it in the direction of the dragon. It was not the dual blade he was used to, but it would have to do for now. His was too shaky to use against an adversary like this, and would be of little use.
Problem was, Kiskla didn't know what this creature was. Or, how these slimy dealers had got their hands on it. It was at least three times the size of a gundark, and three times as deadly. Her not knowing what is was, gave her little advantage on knowing how to render it incapable.
Again, Kiskla moved. Diving to the side of one of the Gorog's limbs. Quickly, she jolted upward, scaling the creature's leg and jumping until she was at it's shoulder. With a powerful twist of her shoulders, she brought her blade downward, penetrating the first layer of the gorog's skin, and grazing it's skull beneath. Other than giving it a blip of irritation, her attempt was futile and only meant the creature was now more agitated. It reared it's head back, and Kiskla clutched to the hilt of her buried sabre to maintain her position. But it's shaking was difficult to counter, and even with her determination, the blonde bounced from her position to the creatures back, where she frantically grabbed at stray pieces of hair. Successfully, she gripped a patch, and swung her weight backward against it's body with a grunt.
She tugged on the hair, as she shifted her weight to her toes and used her abdominal strength to lift her legs upward, and flip backwards to the sealed plate that she assumed had once restrained the creature.
From this vantage point, she could see the arena. Most spectators were scrambling for their lives -- those that had organized the arena were all a flurry -- and they had been the objective of the mission. She couldn't see her Padawan, but she hadn't felt him die either. With all the white noise around them, yelling instructions would be useless. So, she reached out to the dragon's mentality, something that she had yet to have done in their time together. Dar'rak she began, so as not to startle him. Her voice was still distinctly coated with her accent, even in the celestial realm Get the gladiators to a safe vantage place. This arena isn't going to last much longer. The gladiators were, unfortunately, slaves. And illegal slaves at that. There were hundreds of them, one she'd need reinforcements to transfer -- and her poor Padawan was going to have a heck of a time with the guards.
Then get back here, and help me deal with the organizers. As much as she may have wanted the ring's cartel dead, they were to be prisoners of the Republic and stand a proper trial. Besides, she had to set an example these days.
No mention of the gorog. She figured it best not to mention the elephant in the room. Plus, she wanted to measure his obedience in the face of excitement.
