The Final Battle

[Josh Dragovalor]

"Kneel."

Aboard the Archaeon, the day had finally come. A cloaked figure would approach another, who had kneeled for them. "You have spent the last several years under my guidance, under my teachings... You have shed your weakness, your former name, your former identity... And you have finally become the Sith that you have been always meant to be. The hand of the dark side you were always meant to be... And now..."

The man with the older sounding voice would activate a lightsaber and hold it to the shoulder of the second, for a moment letting it burn their robes and into their flesh. The second man did not flinch, only closed his eyes and allowed the ceremony to be conducted as needed. Finally, he would release him.

"On this day, you will shed all before you... You have been cleansed through my blade... And you are now ready to assume the mantle that was always meant for you."

"Rise... Lord Dragonan."

The other cloaked figure would rise then, the newly christianed Sith Lord staring at his Master with an expression cold, icy... Heartless, free of emotion. He would pull off his hood then, to reveal dark red locks flowing down to his shoulders.

"You know what you must do, Lord Dragonan... Darth Dragonan...

You will be shipped off to Kashyyyk tomorrow, under the guise of one hoping to be redeemed. Once you are there... I trust you will be able to dispatch of as many of them as possible before making your exit. Once you have finished that... You know where we go next. Your job is to be rid of them... To kill them... To kill those who disgrace our Code, and ensure every moment, they suffer..."

"But never forget, Lord Dragonan... Even now, you fight for your Master... For I will always be your Master. You will always be mine to command."

"I will... Master."

"Good... Now, before you depart on your mission, I want to hear it, one more time... Recite it to me... Recite The Sith Code."

"Yes... My Master."

The young man would take a deep breath, before he began to recite the Sith Code, as his hands began to move just slightly...

"Peace... Is a lie. There is only passion.​

​

Through passion... I gain strength.​

Through strength... I gain power.​

Through power... I gain victory.​

Through victory..."​

At those words, the new christianed Sith Lord would activate his lightsaber, which had slowly been pointed toward his Master's front more and more as this went on. But as it would activate, the crimson blade would pierce through his Master's heart... The old man letting out a loud grunt, coughing up blood. His eyes widened, his pupils shrank as he stared at the Sith Lord in shock and horror... His apprentice, his servant...

As for Darth Dragonan? He would only smirk as he would finish his Code.

His Code.

"My chains... Are broken."

A chuckle escaped him, and he shook his head as he watched his Master... No, his former Master... Shrivel up and die, hitting the ground with a thud as he deactivated his lightsaber... And then he spoke those final words softly, but with a defiant and yet victorious glow...

"... The Force shall free me."

​

The Maekrix​

​

Josh would let out a loud gasp as he would sit up in bed. He and [member="Riamah"] had just finished another mission and were en-route back to Kashyyyk. Whether the two had shared a bed the night before or she'd taken the crew quarters had been up to Ra, but Josh wouldn't notice her even if she was there. His eyes were wide, his breath was shaky. He recalled the dream he'd just had...

No. It was a vision.

It was the same one he'd had years ago. Except this time in more detail. And this time the face that appeared wasn't his own...

It was that of his brother.

"Damn..." He growled, as the Jedi Master would roll out of bed. He was hoping that reoccurring nightmare was gone now. But something had caught his attention, aside from the fact the face on the Sith had changed...

They had talked of Kashyyyk.

He needed a drink.

 

[Ra'a'mah]

She was not one to be a light sleeper much these days. At one point in her life, Ra had lived in fear of being stabbed in the back, not anymore though. However, the timing of the dream Josh had was close enough to when she normally started to wake up so when he sat up, it finished waking her up.

One habit that she had yet to give up was sleeping with a weapon close at hand. Even now it was next to her. Though she trusted Josh more than pretty much anybody, it was still something she couldn't stop doing.

When he rolled out of bed, her eyes opened and a knife was in her hand a heartbeat later. Just a simple and normal blade, but it would do against a regular intruder. On a ship though...there shouldn't be any. Lowering it, she could tell he didn't notice her movement and set the blade back down.

"What happened?"

[member="Josh DragonsFlame"]

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

Josh didn't seem to realize that Ra was there. He'd gotten used to sleeping alone, it figured. But it wasn't that either. He'd had that reoccurring nightmare years ago, and things had been... Different, at the time. So when he heard Ra's voice and it wasn't the one he recognized, he jumped a bit in surprise as his head darted toward her. His lightsaber had instinctively been pulled into his hand from it's resting place nearby, but he calmed down when his memory seemed to properly resynchronize itself.

"Nightmare. It's nothing."

With that, he wandered out of the room. He was still learning to find his way around The Maekrix. But the changing of the dream, it concerned him. He would eventually reach the recreation room, finding the mini fridge he had placed here for easy access. Opening it, he would heavily consider just grabbing the bottle of wine in front of him and downing the entire thing. But he had told [member="Scherezade deWinter"] that he was giving up excessive drinking. Letting out an annoyed sigh, Josh would grab the bottle of water instead and power it down as though it were alcoholic. After a bit of it, he would lower his head and let the water drench his head and face. As his long, golden locks would drag downward, dripping with water, he let out a gasp as the freezing cold water would wake him up fully. He wouldn't be getting back to sleep, he knew.

The Master Of The Order would make his way to the cockpit, stopping to grab a towel on the way there. Drying his head, he would stop at the cockpit where R4-J6 was in rest mode while the ship was in it's hyperspace-based autopilot.

"R4."

"Wrrrrrr?"

A series of noises indicated that the voice of the Jedi had startled the droid back to full function as it would turn it's dome head toward him, letting out a series of annoyed sounding beeps.

"Yes, I am aware of the time. How far are we from Kashyyyk?"

The droid would continue to let out it's annoyed beeps as it would turn it's head back to the interface. Running a few diagnostics, the droid would continue to beep it's Binary language. Josh would nod his head in turn.

"Good. Patch me into the Silver Rest's interface, amscray. Get me the surveillance of Silver space."

The droid let out a few beeps in affirmative, and Josh would slide into the pilot's seat while he began to go through the interface once it was up.

"It's just a hunch" Josh answered calmly when the droid would let out a few questioning beeps. "If I'm lucky, then it was just a dream, and..."

He stopped. There it was. The ship from the dream, heading right toward Kashyyyk.

"You're kidding..."

"Wrrrr?"

"Patch me into the Rest's coms, now. I need one of the Silver Assembly as soon as possible."

Once they were patched in, Josh took a deep breath as he opened communications. If they were awake at this hour, then any of [member="John Locke"], [member="Celeste Rigel"], [member="Jessica Med-Beq"] and [member="Matsu Ike"] would receive the message.

"This is Master Of The Order Josh DragonsFlame. If any of you are awake, I need you to tighten security for a temporary period, in case I do not arrive in time. No need for a state of panic, I just have a lead I want to pursue and should it reach Kashyyyk before I do, I want it slowed down. The ship is a..."

He named off the ship model. It seemed to be an older model, one of the retired models that the One Sith once commonly used.

"I'm planning to intercept, but I'm still en-route and it may arrive before I do. With any luck, it's a dud lead and there's nothing to worry about. Just be prepared for possibilities. I'll have my droid let you know if I manage to neutralize any potential threat before it reaches Kashyyyk."

[member="Riamah"]

 

[Ra'a'mah]

Her speaking did little to knock Josh out of the dream haze but eventually he realized she had spoken. He gave her three words, but Ra didn't believe his assurance one bit. Not with his next few actions. Following him around, not entirely like a lost puppy, what Ra was hoping to do was give him some assurance she was there. Whatever happened in his dream, he didn't need to face things alone.

Of course her action was unnoticed and she leaned against the bulkhead of the cockpit listening to the conversation between his droid, Josh and the message he sent to his allies. Waiting until he finished and cut off the line, she uncrossed her arms and walked over to join him.

"I think it was far more than a simple nightmare. What's going on?"

This time Ra wasn't going to take that as an answer. Her tone was hopefully something that offered comfort and would be easy to talk to.

[member="Josh DragonsFlame"]

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

Ra was right. It wasn't just a simple nightmare. The Jedi let out a sigh.

“I’ve told you, I think, about my brother” He spoke softly. Well, long story short… Or telling the full, true story this time? Bit of both?

“We were separated as kids, when we lost our parents. I was told he was gone all that time, but… I never gave up searching for him. When I did find him, he was a Sith, under the Sith Empire. I spent several long years trying to get through to him. All it did was cause him to set out to kill me. Even when he admitted he knew what was happening was wrong and he wanted to be free, he thought he was too far gone, and wanted me dead to make his thoughts and conflicts easy. Like I said, I did… Terrible things, to myself, out of love for my baby brother. I will be scarred for the rest of my life as a result. But I got through to him, eventually… Showing him there was never a too far gone, he saw reason, saw motivation… But we never got to celebrate it.

The Sith struck within moments and before I could address their cowardly attack from their ship…”

He pointed at the ship on the screen. It was definitely the same one. He recognized it from that day… And the dreams.

“... He had decided to sacrifice his life for mine. Since then, I’ve… Had these dreams. Dreams of a man that looked like me becoming a Sith Lord aboard a ship just like this one. They used to cause many sleepless nights and then they just… Stopped. I thought I was rid of them. But tonight they returned… In more detail, more clear, more vivid. And this time it wasn’t me under that hood… It was my brother. But there were specifics… Specifics like a plan to hit and run massacre a portion of the Silver Rest,

And now that same ship is apparently here, just above Kashyyyk. What if it wasn’t all a dream? I have to know. Even if it’s a dud, it’s not worth risking.”

He let out a sigh.

“I have a feeling though, like he truly is in there. Which means the Rest is in danger. And preventing that if possible’s my job. But I also want to know why my brother is doing this. Why he would go back to that life that he wanted to be free from. I want to know where he’s been all this time, and what’s going on.

I… I need to know. And then I need to stop him. For real this time.”

[member="Riamah"]

 

[Ra'a'mah]

He had mentioned his brother before, but not in any clear or full detail. Nodding as he spoke, he got a slightly bitter half smile from her. Josh had spoken to her of the path she had been on when they met. Never did she think it would have worked. Both Josh and Vulps had worked wonders on her in terms of the path she had been on. Seeing now how right Josh had been, Ra had stepped off that dark path and onto a different one.

This path might not be the same as his, but it was far better than her old one. It was clear to her just how much family meant to him. If she had been in his shoes, she would have done the same thing. As it was all she could do was offer him support.

"I understand, Josh. How long until we arrive?"

It was all Ra said on it and would not ask more at this time. Depending on his answer on time...they would hopefully have enough to work out a plan to stop his brother.

[member="Josh DragonsFlame"]

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

"Soon. We're going full speed, they're not. They're attempting to pass off as a civilian ship, instead of an attacker." He spoke to answer her question. He was grateful to Ra for supporting him on this... As foolhardy as his plight sounded and as far-fetched as the possibility was. He only had a dream and a possible coincidence to go on here, yet she was willing to help him see it through to the end. Even if it meant the possibility of ridicule... Or just a flat out fight.

They would exit Hyperspace and arrive near to Kashyyyk. The ship had already begun to enter the atmosphere, and The Maekrix would move to intercept it. As the ship would, at full speed, hover over the ship, Josh would begin to patch into comms to try and get in touch with the ship...

And then the ship opened fire on them.

The ship rocked as it was hit dead on, and alarms would begin blaring. It seemed that they'd hit a precision point. But so fast, and so soon after they had gotten in close? They had known they were coming, they had to have been. It was either a lucky guess... Or a Force User was on board. But regardless of that, Josh had a feeling he was right indeed.

"R4, move onto the attack!" Josh would command as he would begin to make his way toward the doors. Finishing attaching the last sections of his armor and pulling on his robes, he would attach his grappling hooks onto his wrists as he would then look toward the cockpit, as the Maekrix would return fire.

"Clear us a path, R4! Keep attacking the ship until we're close enough to board! Once we're aboard, pull back and await further orders!"

He looked toward Ra then, motioning that she should get ready if she wasn't already.

[member="Riamah"]

 

[Ra'a'mah]

When he answered, Ra just nodded and left to get herself into her combat gear. That suit he had seen her in once before. It fit like a second skin and felt very natural on her. She was ready by the time they arrived and closed the faceplate of the helmet as soon they were shot on. If they were going to get blasted into the stars, she could live for a short time in her suit and hoped Josh had some sort of protection himself.

Picking up some of the gear on board that didn't have herself, she was as ready as she felt she could be.

"I can board before you. Small, quicker and have more stealth..."

Unless he chose to disappear like he did before, she was better at being sneaky than he was.

[member="Josh DragonsFlame"]

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

"No point in a "who's first" here. When the opportunity knocks, jump" Josh would instruct in response. "We might only get one shot at this before they fly away and either attack us, flee, or attack the Rest. When the opportunity shows itself, jump with or without me."

The ships would continue to trade fire until the Maekrix was able to get just above the other ship, suspending fire for now. Though Josh noticed a turret on the other ship beginning to aim at them, he would open the hatch...

"Now!" Josh called to Ra as he would get a running start and take the plunge. The Jedi would free-fall through the air, before launching the grappling hooks on his wrists. He was a fair bit larger than Ra and would fall like a stone in comparison to her. Something he had clearly planned for as the hooks would wrap around part of the ship's side. With the hooks breaking his fall, he would release the mechanisms to launch him upward. As he would retract the hooks once he had his momentum, he would manipulate his air travel a bit with Force Flight as he would soon after crash through the window of the enemy ship...

[member="Riamah"]

 

[Ra'a'mah]

There wasn't much time to listen to instructions before they were there. For just a moment, Ra looked between Josh and the ship.

"I'm going to have to get me one of these things!"

His droid got the Maekrix into position and Josh opened the hatch for them. This was something she was familiar with. While the life of a merchant did not lead to much space combat, she had practiced many times having to hop from ship to ship. She did have a fleet of merchant ships and travelling between them was interesting. A shuttle could be used, but often enough she choose to go a faster route and just use tethers. Much like what they were doing now.

However, there was a slight difference this time. Gravity...In space there wasn't any and she would need to figure out how to adjust and alter her flight path to get over safely. Taking a hold of the hooks and line she had grabbed, she launched herself from his ship. Not being one to rely on the Force for most things, she did not use it to keep herself from falling. Only the tether kept her safe and on course. The line stretched onto the other ship and she stayed on it as they went between them.

She aimed her flight path to follow that of Josh and hit the other ship near enough to the window he crashed through that she was able to jump herself over and follow him in. Going in feet first, she crouched down and rolled behind the nearest structure she could find.

Alarms rung through the halls, but there was silence in the room other than that blaring from the other side of the door.

"Is he alone?"

[member="Josh DragonsFlame"]

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

Once the two were aboard the ship, Josh would take a deep breath as he would allow his senses to filter out at Ra's question...

"Yes, he is."

But then his eyes shot open, prior closed as he had focused. He would immediately grab Ra and leap into the air, wrapping his arms around her and using his grappling hooks to shoot them both to a hanging point on the ceiling as the floor below them was presently being caked in turret fire. The ship's turret system had activated and had laid the floor below them to absolute waste within seconds. Activating and dropping his lightsaber, Josh would manipulate it with the Force to spin about and sabotage the turrets, cutting through them one at a time. He would drop down to the floor then, releasing her as the saber returned to his hand and he took a deep breath.

"Should have known there'd be traps" He commented as he would motion for her to follow with a flick of his head. The two would find themselves in the command room, and standing at the edge of the bridge was a figure in black robes and a mask. The mask was black with red adornments, and resembled the shape and design of a skull.

"Take the mask off" Josh demanded in a calm yet cold tone.

But the figure didn't listen. Instead, they would ignite their lightsaber. The red blade was held in a reverse grip, one Josh recognized quickly. The more that he saw of this one, the more that he felt his hunch was right... But at the least, they were definitely dealing with a Sith Lord here.

The figure would hold up a hand and an army of fireballs would materialize in the air, before being launched toward the two...

[member="Riamah"]

 

[Ra'a'mah]

Even if the room was empty, they weren't exactly safe. Though their target was alone, he had wired the ship. A trap was set and they had activated it. Josh grabbed her and pulled up into the air for a few moments while the floor below was covered in turret fire. He quickly disabled them and lowered them back to the ground. Noticing he had placed his saber back to his belt, her own hands twitched slightly and the little hilts of her sabers were in her palms after a moment.

This was the only trap of this sort along the short route to the bridge. Nothing between them and their target. Josh ordered the man to take his mask off, but that did not happen. Something Ra had expected and thankfully her face was hidden by her own mask because she wore a smile when she saw the grip on the saber in front of them.

It was how she held her own two shoto blades, but they were not yet ignited. Confident in own moves and skill, Ra ignited the blades and started to dance around the fire sent their way. With precision cuts, any orbs that got close to her were cut down. She was not focusing on using the Force at all and while it assisted her in the combat, she wasn't actively using it.

However now she did embrace it and make an attempt to knock the man out with a focused attack. A skill she had been introduced to many years ago, a neural attack on his mind. If it worked, then he should go down like a rock and be unharmed.

[member="Josh DragonsFlame"]

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

Ra would begin to dance around the orbs of flame, and Josh not only followed Ra's lead but also took note of not only the pyrokinetic move being performed, but noted Ra's method of dodging it. Learning the move for his own use, as well as understanding how it could be countered and preparing for it... It was just a part of how calculated Josh could be. If he saw a means to improve himself, he'd take it. Even in the heat of battle.

Ra would attempt to pierce the man's mind, but any attempt seemed to bounce off completely, as though she couldn't even get in... As if her mental pincers were hitting solid metal. In truth, the mask the man wore protected him from any sort of mental manipulation, working similarly to Josh's own Amulet of Talra. Instead, the man would begin to gingerly stride forward, blade drawn. Clenching his fist, while Josh would not be able to see them due to the amulet, Ra would find herself surrounded by massive orbs of fire. There seemed to be no escape from them, no way to navigate or move past them... They seemed very much real, and she would be able to feel the heat radiating from them as if it threatened to sear her own skin.

Not realizing Ra's trap, Josh would charge forward, drawing his lightsaber as he would swing first, choosing to engage in hopes of giving Ra an opportunity to circle around. The Sith would bring his blade up, and the sabers hissed as they clashed.

[member="Riamah"]

 

[Ra'a'mah]

The effectiveness (or lack of it) really did not surprise Ra. There were many people in the galaxy that was immune to such tactics. However, she did not think it was because of the mask he wore. Josh might have thought of that though when he asked the man to remove it.

It was a good thing she was wearing her suit. If she hadn't then the fire surrounding her would have burned her to a crisp or taken the air from her lungs. As it was, she could still feel the heat, but it wasn't going to harm her. That suit would protect her.

She stopped moving through and changed her attack technique. Instead of attempting to do any sort of mental attack, she turned to something more physical. Taking her blaster out, she fired a shot at Nicholas through the flames that threatened to burn her. This entire time, she maintained being calm and collected. Not one to have good aim, she did not expect the shot to actually connect, but it might give him some pause.

[member="Josh DragonsFlame"]

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

Their opponent appeared to be as calm and collected on the exterior as a Sith Lord would ever be as they would stop the blaster bolt in mid-air. Attempting to re-direct it at Josh, the Jedi Master would respond by breaking the clash and flipping forward to avoid it, taking his second lightsaber from his belt and igniting it as both lightsabers would float around him, beginning to spin rapidly more and more around him to forge a wall that threatened to slice the Sith Lord in two as he would walk toward them. The blades would chip at the Sith Lord's defences and armour but they would continue to use their lightsaber to negate any potential serious damage.

"I know you're in there!" Josh would growl. "Take the mask off and look at me as a brother, damn you! The Nicholas I knew wasn't a coward!"

The Sith would respond by jumping back and hurtling a series of fireballs at the Jedi Master. Josh would begin batting them away with the lightsabers he was controlling with telekinesis but the fireballs were coming faster and faster. Recognizing the technique, Josh would deactivate both blades and let them clip back onto his belt as he would jump back to avoid them. Once he had cleared some ground, he would allow his hands to ignite and begin launching fireballs right back. The fireballs would each collide and explode with each hit, beginning to rock and damage the ship as fire sprayed with each collision.

Ra meanwhile, had an opportunity now that the Sith Lord wasn't focused on her.

[member="Riamah"]

 

[Ra'a'mah]

The calm exterior did not fool Ra, she had once been similar to this man. Then Josh's words met her ears...this wasn't just a simple man, but his brother. Nicholas had been mentioned before and thought dead. So she had never expected to actually meet him let alone fight him. Now here the two of them were against him and an opening had been given to her.

Surprisingly her blaster shot almost hit its mark but was diverted to turn and try to hit Josh. Cursing her lack of thought on the matter, she put her blaster away. His attention was now focused on Josh and she knew mental attacks weren't going to work on him. Thinking on the move, she was safe for now from the fireballs around her.

Gathing the Force up within herself, she would focus on the air around Nick. Starting up a small whirlwind, she hoped to catch him by surprise and maybe knock him off his feet. It was a disabling move and would leave him unharmed.

[member="Josh DragonsFlame"]

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

Ra's attack would interrupt the spray of fireballs from the other side, lifting him up into the air and causing Josh's attacks to begin pelting them. Their Sith Armor took the brunt of the attack and sent them flying back as Josh would charge forward and activate Force Speed, making his way to them, activating his lightsaber again and feigning a saber slash toward the head, throwing his saber upwards and instead striking with a hard knee to the head that would send the mask flying off their face.

Long red hair would roll down past their shoulders as a man who held a steady resemblance to Josh would be revealed. His eyes were orange, filled with rage, and seemed to be glowing a bit more and more by the second.

"I knew it" Josh would remark, subtly nursing his knee after the contact with the hard mask. "You're Nicholas DragonsFlame. You're my brother. I don't know what the Sith did to you, but... The Nicholas that seemingly sacrificed his life for me... I know he wouldn't do as you have done. Whatever you've become... I know my brother is in there somewhere."

The Sith would stare at them, seething in turn, more and more. If his words had any effect, was unknown... But one thing was clear. He was getting mad.

And then the Sith would unleash a blood-curdling scream as Josh and Ra were sent back by a Force Repulse, before the Sith would begin unleashing fireballs in all directions, the fireballs exploding whenever they made contact with something... The ship began rumbling, and it was clear that this one had given into rage. If they weren't careful, the ship could go down and take them with it...

[member="Riamah"]

 

[Ra'a'mah]

Placing a barrier around herself when the scream was emitted from Nicholas, it lasted long enough to keep her from getting harmed when she crashed against the bulkhead of the room. Picking herself up, she had to duck again from the fireballs being sent their way. Her small whirlwind had accomplished enough of a distraction that Josh was able to kick the helmet off their opponent.

Red hair that almost matched her own spilt out, but the man under looked similar to Josh. It seemed his intuition was correct. She had no sibling or blood family. So Ra had no idea what this might be like for Josh to go through. All she could do right now was lend some aid to him.

Using the Force, she reached out to Josh to connect with him more than they already were. A skill that was similar to Battle Meditation, but weaker. Valour was what it was called and was used to help allies in battle. Because Nicholas had brushed aside her mental attack earlier, she felt nothing would work against his mind. Unknown to her it was only because of that helmet he had worn, but she did not use the Force against him again.

[member="Josh DragonsFlame"]

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

"WAKE UP! I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!"

Josh bellowed that cry, putting up a Force Barrier that would protect him from the fireballs being launched at him. Pieces of the ship had begun to fall from it and Josh wasn't prepared for them on his own. It was the Force Valor that Ra had projected that helped him get his head back after his own barrier went down. He immediately activated Force Speed as he shot forward, taking flight as he spun through the air in time to avoid a large jolt of Force Lightning that soon enough would begin to head for Ra in turn.

Josh would act fast, landing a sharp blow to the head of the Sith Lord that sent them reeling. The blow was quick, sharp, precise. Aimed at the right spot. It was the Echani precision that helped him here without sacrificing too much power.

"Come back to us! Come back to your family!" The Jedi Master couldn't help but beg. His emotions had been welling up since he had woken earlier, but now, upon seeing his brother again, knowing he was still in there, knowing there was still a chance... It had all begun to spill out again. "Nicholas, please! You don't have to do this! They don't control you anymore! You're stronger than that!"

The Sith Lord would react, but it was not the one expected. They stopped a moment, as if the blow had rattled their head around... And then he began to scream in agony and pain as he held his head.

"SHUT UP!" The Sith screamed at them. "I am Darth Dragonan! Nobody else!"

The screams got louder as a Force Bellow seemed to be heading their way. This time much stronger than the Repulse from before, and one that if not dodged, would likely send them out of the ship as the effects of it tore open the ship's walls from whence it landed. Josh was blown back and barely managed to hold on as the ship began to tip upside down. His head ringing from the impact, he would try and regain his bearings as he dangled just above the hole made in the ship. Still groggy, the Jedi would manage to leap in time to dodge another burst of Force Lightning that tore the wall apart whence he had once been.

[member="Riamah"]

 

[Ra'a'mah]

It was rare and this would be one of the first times Josh had ever seen Ra draw out any of her lightsabers. Due to her not ever relying heavily on her emotions or the Dark Side in the past, her lightsaber's colours remained and had not turned red. The short, shoto sabre shot out and intercepted the lightning before it reached her. Not even trying to take the brunt of the wild attack, she turned it away.

Luckily Ra did have her suit on or the blast would have sent her out flying. Grappling onto the ship, them crashing through the atmosphere almost made Ra chuckle a little. This brought home a conversation that had taken place not very long ago. Something about atmo-diving and how Josh didn't feel the dangers were worth the risk. Something she would have to mention when this ordeal was finished with.

Flying back into the ship, she used a small burst from her boots to regain entry and held out a hand to help steady Josh with telekinesis. Most of her focus was on Nicholas at the moment though. Watching him for any additional attack he might send their way. The ship was starting to fall apart around them as the atmosphere dragged at the gaping hole.

He was distracted by Josh at the moment and she took the opening. Activating the stealth function of her suit, she went invisible to them. Aiming herself at their opponent, Ra launched herself at him again. Hoping to tackle him to the floor of the ship before any further damage could be done by him.
