Krag had no time to react and he flew through the air in the wake of Joshua's punch. Krag tumbled across ground, his body only stopping once he had crashed through a set of trees. Krag's head was pounding as he stood from his position, his eyes bouncing around the battlefield madly as he tried to steady himself. So, this Jedi could throw a punch...surprising. Krag had lost his lightsaber somewhere in the process of his flight and he now stood without it, watching as the female of the two Jedi walked up to him.

Krag grinned as he took note of the feelings flowing off of her "You, Jedi" Krag growled to Tallia "I can feel your anger, it is powerful and yet you try to bury it. True power cannot be contained and only that power is strong enough to bring about a new galaxy." Krag took note from the teaching he had read about in Darth Sidious's books about how he had turned Vader into his apprentice "Light creates darkness and do you know what that means, Jedi? It means that the only true balance is a galaxy covered in shadow." as Krag spoke he quickly began drawing power from the darkside energies created by the death and destruction scattered about the area "Join me and you can harness the true power of the darkside and all you have to do...IS STRIKE THIS WEAKLING DOWN!" Krag roared out before throwing a blinding whip of flames at the female and charging towards the Master once again.

Krag was able to catch the Master off guard with his little rant and, once in range, slammed into him with all of his might. The beast gripped the man in a tight bear hug and then proceeded to crash into every tree in his path. The trees slightly harmed Krag's head, but the Jedi would face the brunt of it. As the beast crashed through tree so did each tree topple to the ground and create thunderous claps of sound. Krag stopped after bulldozing through a dozen or so thick jungle trees and then firecly slammed the Master onto the ground with all of his might.

"Does it matter who I am? Does it really?" Marek questioned, his tone was almost mocking as he raised a hand and blasted @[member="Balaya Zambrano"] with a force push. It was much lighter than his usual blows, intended to kick things off, not score the winning touchdown. Surely she'd retaliate, Sith were strong beasts, and when challenged, they were at their strongest. It tended to happen when you were challenged for seats of power on a daily damn basis.

Diana flew back as the shockwave hit her, there was no artfully dodging it or countering it this time. The wave of the force struck her, and the Tiny Jedi Knight went flying backwards. Within the air she flipped around twice, steadying herself quite smoothly and then landing on the ground. She landed on her feet and then broke into a crouch sliding backwards several more feet and ending back where she had started a few minutes ago, fifteen meters away from the Sith.

She gritted her teeth as pain lanced through her entire upper body, arching from her ribs and shooting up her very spine.

There was no time for hurt however, and as soon as she landed Diana once again shot forward. With the aid of the force and her Rocket Boots(Mentioned in an earlier post) The Jedi Knight propelled herself forward in an instant. This time she closed the gap between herself and Shorn in almost an instant.

As soon as she reached him she whirled about, slashing at Mikhail's throat with her lightsaber and aiming a tightly jabbed fist towards a side gap in his armor.

 

[Darth Kentarch]

Arcturus kept his weight on the blade as his locked with his enemy. He could feel a disturbance in the force, no doubt battle meditation. His opponent seemed revitalized by the experience. As Tyr-Kyr switched tactics, so did Procyon. The Sith realized with the effect of the meditation, he could no longer rely on the tactic pummeling down his opponent. "I can't win. Its you who will fall this day." The Sith changed his posture into a defensive From III stance. As @[member="Tyr-Kyr Magnus"] brought his blade down, Arcturus deflected each one, holding the blade in an angled fashion to deflect the energy in each blow. As he finished assault came to a close, Arcturus gave a quick riposte at the Jedi's gut.

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

Before Josh could tell Krag to shut his fat piehole, the Graug suddenly grabbed him and proceeded to charge through a set of trees. Josh's back and head were in agonizing pain as the Graug sent him through tree after tree, before slamming him down.

Breathing, the Jedi managed to compose himself quick enough to raise his foot and kick Krag in the face, stunning him enough for Josh to get his bearings and get to his feet. He'd lost his lightsaber somewhere in the shuffle, and he cursed himself for it. He'd look for it in a bit, but in the meantime, he needed to get this big monster out of the way.

As Josh got to his feet, he quickly sent a foot upwards, a unique high-front kick that popped Krag dead in the jaw. With that opening, Josh slugged Krag in the side of the head, harder then before. He was prepared for a slugfest...

[Tyr-Kyr Magnus]

Ossus|Jedi Academy|Duelling Arcturus​

The Sith was skilled, and for every blow Tyr-Kyr delivered the Sith countered with a decisive block. This duel had drug on far linger than Tyr-Kyr had wanted. He knew that he had to get Saran help, he could only hope that the Jedi that had appeared in her direction earlier had been able to offer some degree of assistance. Tyr-Kyr could hear the distant sound of the clashing military forces, and from what he could tell no victor had yet emerged, but for how long? He knew that he would be of no great assistance to the other Jedi Knights and Masters that were heading the charge against the Sith, yet Tyr-Kyr longed to join the fray and aid his fellow Jedi in their age old battle against the Sith Lords of the Empire. Tyr-Kyr dismissed these thoughts however, for he had the focus on the task at hand.

As Tyr-Kyr delivered his final strike the Sith lunged forward towards his gut. Two options now presented their self. Dodge the attack like all the others, or risk a counter attack. Tyr-Kyr's confidence waned, however; he would not show fear in the face of the enemy. This is why he was here. This was his trial, and he would not continue to retreat like a Padawan. No, he would face his adversary like a true Knight. "There is no death, only the Force." Tyr-Kyr thought as he made his move.

The gleaming red blade advanced quickly towards him, but instead of leaping back Tyr-Kyr stepped slightly sideways and forward. The red blade ripping through the side of his armor and cutting into his side slightly, Tyr-Kyr cringed from the pain, but endured thanks to the battle meditation. Grasping his lightsaber Tyr-Kyr was now upon the Sith and he attacked. Tyr-Kyr was injured, but he could be healed, however; the Sith could no longer escape without injury from such a close range. Tyr-Kyr commenced his attack, confident he would prevail.

 

[Darth Kentarch]

Arcturus exhaled as he felt the lightsaber connect with it's target. The Jedi intentionally ate the attack, yet Arcturus realized but a moment too late. His eyes narrowed, and he redacted his blade and as fast a he could brought his weapon to block the Jedi's blade. Time slowed down, every second seemed like a minuted. As the Jedi blade came down, Arcturus's lightsaber came round, and just missed the parry. In the final moment, @[member="Tyr-Kyr Magnus"]'s blade struck true. The blade hissed and seared and it cut through his skin. Unlike his opponent Arcturus had no body armor to protect himself, and the blow was severe. There was a brief pause, a moment when Arcturus was simply dumbstruck. He staggered back for a moment, looking down at his torso. His hand came up to touch the wound. He went lightheaded, only after pain seemed to swallow his entire body. Arcturus exhaled and looked at the Jedi. "There is no death, only the Force." Then spoke. "The force shall set me free." The final line of the Sith code. He crumbled down in a heap, falling to ground. His eyes slowly shut, and Arcturus passed into the void.

 

[Other Space Kaiden]

Krag thought he had won, when he suddenly found himself eating a boot. The Graug Knight stumbled backwards and into a nearby tree, his mouth bleeding profusely from the two slots where fangs used to sit. Krag spat a blob of black fluid onto the ground, the fluid suddenly turning back into a normal redish blood as soon as it hit the earth. With that, Krag stood back straight and was about to unleash another roar at Josh when another quick knocked him his his jaw and sent another fang flying through the air and him flying back into the tree. Before the Graug could even get a bearing on what had happened, the Jedi Master delivered a fierce punch to the side of his head and sent him tumbling sideways across the ground.

Krag groaned, his head aching with pain from the hit. Lifting his head up, Krag studied the blurred image of Josh with his good eye. Calling on the force to assist him, Krag used his front hands to lift himself up and then throw himself forward. As soon as Krag's feet touched the ground, Krag threw his right fist into Josh's gut like a wrecking ball being drug through a building. As Josh's body bent over Krag's arm, the beast heated his opposite hand with the force and delivered a scorching strike to the side of the Master's face.

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

The Master grunted as the first hit in the slugfest hit his gut, and flew to the side some as another struck him in the jaw. Despite the blurriness of his vision, Josh was running entirely on adrenaline and instinct at this point, and managed to get up, bleeding profusely, and sent Krag flying backwards with a vicious shot dead between the eyes, this time as hard as he could. Josh shook his sore knuckles back into proper feeling as he looked around for his lightsaber, not finding it, he braced himself for Krag's likely counterattack...

[Tyr-Kyr Magnus]

Ossus|Jedi Academy|Duelling Arcturus​

The shining blue blade of Tyr-Kyr's lightsaber tore through flesh and bone as he brought it down upon the Sith. For a moment Tyr-Kyr had regretted what he had done, but as the pain in his side intensified the doubts fled his mind. This was an evil man. A creature that lusted over the death of others. Taking a life was never a good thing, but perhaps the surfing that could be prevented by this man being no more justified what Tyr-Kyr had done. The man slumped to the ground, falling unconscious or worse. His blade lay deactivated and his body limp. Seeing this Tyr-Kyr moved forward once more, blade in hand. Tyr-Kyr reversed the blade and brought it down upon the man's back, falling to one knee as he did so. "AHHHHHH!" Tyr-Kyr cried, tears forming in his eyes from both regret and pain. Tyr-Kyr looked down at the wound, surely fatal, and was convinced he was no more. Tyr-Kyr looked to the side and noticed the fallen Sith's lightsaber. Taking it in his freehand Tyr-Kyr rose and clutched his side. He then headed off in the direction that Saran had been. He looked back one final time at the fallen Sith and softly spoke. "May the Force be with you."

Ice blue eyes widened as the Jedi rocketed straight toward him. Feth.

Seeing the horizontal slash aimed at his neck, Mikhail tucked his chin so that if his parry was broken it would hit his phrik and duraplast cheek guard rather than slicing through his larynx. At the same time he whipped the beskar knife upward and inside her guard.


The heavy beskar knife, wielded by his inhumanly strong cybernetic arm, stopped her blade cold in its tracks and opened up the other side of her body to a counter attack as her blade would have to move around the beskar knife to parry any strike with the lightsaber he utilized. Mikhail exploited this with an immediate thrust with the stolen saber directed at her chest, aiming to spit her on his blade. A killing blow.

However, Mikhail Shorn had not dueled blade to blade in quite a while. He was rusty. That combined with the mud smears on his visor, still obscuring his vision, meant he did not recognize the tight punch toward his side in time to stop it. The only gap on his side was under the armpit, but nonetheless the blow struck home and hard, bruising Shorn and throwing off his thrust. Instead of skewering her through the chest, his blade was redirected toward her shoulder.

 

[Other Space Kaiden]

The feeling of face bones fracturing was excruciating, so much so that Krag roared in great pain through every moment he was flying through the air. The sky passed by like Krag was on a rocket and his head was throbbing back and forth. The pain got even worse as the beast's body hit the ground and the massive creature tumbled wildly across the dirt and rock. The Graug came to a hard stop, his body dragging across the ground for the last few dozen feet and then finally everything stopped moving for a few moments. Krag just sat still for a few moments, his mind and body aching like he head just run a marathon across three whole planets and then forced to crawl through the deserts of Korriban.

Shaking as he stood, Krag started digging into the primitive rage that had overtaken the Graug Army during their charge. The rage worked to fuel his darkside power and as the rage grew, so did the dark energies around him. Growling with anger, Krag turned to the nearest grounded tree and quickly wrapped his massive arms around the trunk and fueled his muscles with the darkside of the force. Pulling the massive tree up in his arms, Krag kicked the dirt at the batters plate and then swing batter, batter SWING!

The tree flew into Josh's side and one the swing was complete, Krag released the trunk and let it fall through the air with the Jedi master.

 

[Aika Kawakami]

It wasn't hard to sense as the vessel came in for a landing on the planet's surface. She glanced about. Seeing Sochi Ru hand out simple orders to the troops that had accompanied them got her to relax a bit more. After all, she knew neither of the two were inept in the least. Together, they could gain the trust of the people who'd settled Ossus. She wasn't alone. Not in the least.

With a final deep breath, she pushed off the wall, returning to her full standing form. It was now or never. This was her opportunity to prove to herself that she could stand on her own feet, and even lead others. It was time to finally do the job of a Jedi Knight. She paced through the crowd of soldiers as they made last second preparations. They were ready. Ella and Sochi were ready. And she was as ready as she'd ever be. Her feet came to a stop as she the rear of the transport, stopping as she reached the ramp. A solider to her left slid his helmet on before speaking to her.

"Captain Reigns. I'll be assisting you on this mission. Ready to go?" Aika nodded slightly, looking back to the others with a smile as she ramp began to lower, and the sun began to shine into the vessel. "Lets go everyone. Time to give all the help we can." It was as confident as she could sound at that point...

OUTSIDE THE JEDI LIBRARY

@[member="Cameron Centurion"] | @[member="Dar'rak"] | @[member="Daella Apparine"]

Kiskla sensed the the arrival of the Jedi strike team lead by the capable Knight Apparine. Before Dar'rak could argue, Kiskla stepped in front of him to react to the inaugural attack from the enforcer of darkness.

She hadn't seen this sorcerous form of lightning before, but she reacted as she would with the knowledge that she passed on to her students: Everything Force born, could be Force deflected. There was a reason the light and the dark were in an eternal struggle, they were both power, and they could both counter each other. And counter she did. Still holding her blades in reverse grip, their tips pointed outwards as she maintained her hold primarily with her thumbs as her palms embraced for a faint moment the sorcerous culmination of electricity. Then, she manipulated the Force to weave to the the point of contact. Like a thinly coated shield over her skin, the barrier intercepted the kinetic energy before it manifested in the painful way it was meant to. Coupled with the deflection, she pushed it backward, back towards the oncoming Sith Lord, to which she responded with tightening her grip on her blades and drawing them in and locking them across her torso. She hated to be put on the defensive, but this is the way it was as her lightsabers barked in response to the meeting of the cerulean and crimson.

Her feet were firm in the soft ground, and her knees buoyed slightly on impact, but she was deceivingly strong for someone so slender.
Swiftly, she uncrossed blades by pushing forward with her stronger hand, her right one. It was like throwing a punch with her lightsaber, but it was meant to push the sith's blade from it's current nearness.

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

Josh's eyes widened as he was suddenly sent flying by a TREE of all things. Okay, he hadn't been expecting that. He didn't think he could uproot a tree, or... At least, he hadn't tried and didn't plan on trying. The pain was excruciating as he crashed into another tree and slid down.

"Ow.... I suddenly karking hate trees...." he muttered. "I hope the trees die...." he snarked dizzily as he got up. He took a deep breath and took the time that Krag would likely be spending hunting him down to try and heal himself. He'd been working on healing lately, the least he could do was take away a bit of the pain...

Afterwords, now that Josh wasn't dying so much on the inside, and could actually breathe properly again, he closed his eyes and reached into the Force. His eyes opened as the world slowed around him. He took off at a run, the trees, whether burned to a crisp, barely working, or still standing, whizzing by him, until his target came into sight....

Without warning, Josh leaped into the air, full speed. Before Krag could realize what was happening, Josh had delivered a flying spin kick dead to his mouth, the force and impact sending Krag flying harder then the last couple of shots, sending him crashing through several trees.

Josh landed on the ground, and tried to shake the cobwebs out of his head as the world slowly seemed to come back into full focus. God, his head was pounding.

She moved as fast as she could, as soon as she felt her fist strike home she knew that soon she would have a problem. Mikhail still had her other lightsaber, and out of the corner of her eye she could see the weapon dart for her. The Jedi let out a slight squeak as she moved. With a quick flick of her thumb Diana deactivated the lightsaber that was caught on Mikhail's blade, then she slammed her foot down onto Mikhails knee.

She used it as a launching off point, pressing herself into it and launching herself upwards and backwards into a flip once again with the help of her rocket boots.

As she did so she felt her own lightsaber dig into the skin of her right shoulder. The blade sliced ever so slightly into her skin and she let out a soft gasp in pain as she felt her flesh get melted away. She continued her path however and landed a few feet away from her Opponent, raising her now injured arm and pushing her palm forward.

She sent out a massive force push towards Mikhail, hoping to throw him directly into the wall behind him.

 

[Eenes Kokad]

Eenes raised her lightsaber against the oncoming beasts. "Can you fight?" she asked @[member="Saran Drast"]. "If so, you can pay it back now."
The first Graug met its end on her blade, a casualty of its own heedless charge. The other two began circling her and Saran, lashing out with viscous attacks at every half an opportunity. Eenes dropped into a Soresu stance, moving her blade only in defence while feeling around her with the Force. There didn't seem to be any others nearby - at least, any that were interested in them.
Which was good, because she was starting to feel.... challenged by the onslaught.

A foot came down on the front of his injured knee, if not for the armored shin guard it would've collapsed instantly. But still... Ow. Before the thought was out of his mind, Diana's backflip resulted in Mikhail getting kicked in the helmet and snapping his head back. He stumbled backward in the mud, nearly losing footing. Feth. Damn. Ow. His neck throbbed from the whiplash.

By the time Shorn managed to locate Diana through the grime on his visor he was staring at the palm of her extended hand. An unseen force slammed into Mikhail, picked him off of his feet, and propelled him backward. His phrik armored body smashed into the ruin behind him. Ancient stones collapsed over him, the mortar holding them in place long since deteriorated, and a cloud of dust rose solemnly. Rain trickled off his suddenly still form.

The armor had protected him from any severe injury, but his back hurt like hell.

Pale eyes like twin chips of ice fastened on the Jedi. Murder was in his eyes.

No more words.

Mikhail seized her boots in the Force and attempted to crush the rockets propelling her all over the place, hopefully igniting the fuel cells and resulting in a small explosion that would blow her feet off, or at the very least crumple the boots and have the metal cut into her skin. Then he rose up, rocks rolling off of him, and began a relentless barrage of tight, concentrated Force pushes, more like telekinetic punches than anything else, strong enough to snap bones and cause internal bleeding. He would beat her into oblivion and grind her into the mud. He wanted to hear her bones snap. He wanted to hear the wet sound of her blood splashing to the floor and mixing with the falling rain. He wanted to hear her cries of pain as he broke her, piece by piece.

Diana felt the crush on her boots on her feet and her eyes popped open in a panic. She attempted to slip out of her shoes and kick them off towards the Sith. With one of them she managed to send it flying towards The Sith's face, the other however she was not so lucky.

As the shoe came halfway off of Diana's foot it exploded in a cloud of shrapnel and concussive force. Diana was sent to her back as small pieces of jagged metal peppered her leg, sticking into her skin but not going in with enough force to cause any permanent harm. Blood immediately began to fell from her leg, dripping onto the ground through her torn clothing. The Jedi Knight attempted to recover, though she did not have the time.

One of Mikhails massive telekinetic blows struck home. The hit was strong enough to pick her up off the floor and partially send her flying, blood spewed from her mouth and dripped down her chin, almost matching her Tattoo's.

She fell to the floor again with a heavy thud, immediately she began to move again rolling to the side over and again. The Scabbard of her sword Tyrfing clattered against the ground as the metal struck over and over again. The telekinetic blasts struck the ground behind her over and over again, tearing into the stone and blasting apart the ground until finally Diana disappeared behind another piece of ruble.

Diana took a second to recollect herself, then bounded to her feet. Pain once again lanced through her body, her leg spasming slightly as she bounded over the piece of ruined temple before her.

Once again she flicked her rips upwards, throwing her wall of mud at the Sith before moving forward.

Yet she worked through it. She ignored the pain, the hurt, the blood falling from her body and instead she charged at Mikhail. Her bare feet hit the wet ground over and over again. This time she seemed to be moving faster than before, as if it was a final push before the end.

As soon as she reached him Diana went for it. She no longer cared for only injuring him, no longer fought to take prisoners, but instead to end the fight. If she had to kill she would.

In one swift slash Diana drew Tyrfing from its scabbard jumping slightly upwards then slicing directly from across the sternum of the Sith Master to his lower torso. At the same time she brought up her lightsaber, sliding her feet slightly to almost be at the mans side she brought the end of her hilt down towards the side of the Sith's head with a blow powerful enough to crack a skull.

 

[Tyr-Kyr Magnus]

Ossus|Jedi Academy|Wounded&Searching​

Tyr-Kyr stumbled forward, the hole in his armor only revealing a wound in which blood seeped from. He had made his way over to the crashed gunship, hoping Saran would still be there, however to his horror she was not. Tyr-Kyr's eyes bulged as he searched frantically around the wreckage. He had just about to begin panicking when he found the hole near the rear of the ship. It was a sabre cut, and it was fresh. Saran must have escaped through there after the Sith had engaged Tyr-Kyr. Tyr-Kyr cringed in pain as he slumped through the hole and began trying to follow the any sign of Saran that he could. It was the he saw two Jedi surrounded by three hulking beasts. Tyr-Ky knew not what they were, but if they wee attacking the Jedi then they could not have good.

One of the Jedi, a Quarren Tyr-Kyr believed, quickly dispatched one of the beasts but the other girl seemed to be injured for she had not yet engaged the enemy. It then occurred to Tyr-Kyr that the injured girl must have been Saran. Tyr-Kyr squinted his eyes in pain as he clutched his side and raised his free hand in the direction of one of the beasts. Closing his eyes and focusing, Tyr-Kyr let the Force flow through him and let out a mighty push towards the targeted beast. That left one for the Quarren to deal with, and as much as Tyr-Kyr would have loved to help his fellow Jedi his energy had left him with that last blast.

Tyr-Kyr tried to focus and remain positive as he lurched forward towards the other Jedi and the beast. He was barely still standing, but if it hadn't been for the battle meditation Tyr-Kyr was sure he would have collapsed by now. Breathing heavily and barely able to walk Tyr-Kyr called out towards the two Jedi. "Sa.....Saran..."
