Private Vran Vran

[Pele Vo]

Pele considere @Kren’s question, “did anything need to survive?” Normally the Comet Queen would point her petfectly smooth and soft thumb down with its glowing turquoise nail, for why let Soulless live? And yet there was an idea that filled her head.

“We should spare two, to send back and spread the message that The Vran are not to be trifled with! That any who tresspass on our sacred ground shall suffer severe punishment!”

She had gotten carried away again, this time The Path of Emotion manifested in a deep wrath, for she loathed and detested heretics on Vran’Ti’s holy ground. The only consolation was they were trapped in their ship and maki my a stand, which meant they had not yet tainted the Vran soul with their heathen steps.

She then placed her hand on Kren’s muscular arm.

“Become a living blade for the Vo! I will become a shield!”

She began to conjure swirling ice around them, as they moved forward. More HKs stepped out firing red firert bolts which she deflected with the Ice Shield, she then sent icicle missiles flying into some, which embedded in their metal chests and necks. The Ice Lady clinched her teeth as she swirled the Cryo power of her Vo to give Kren ample room to tear everything down, to make the walls fall with his might. She had to admit she enjoyed being close to him as she caste the Frozen Bucklers, his Vo so strong, and she looking forward to the promised dinner when this fight was over.

Pele threw snowflake like shurikens that spun and lioped off a HK’s head, and one hit a Twi’lek soldier, one of few organics in a sea of machines, he dropped to grounf screaming, as the ice disc cut asunder lekku and then round his neck, spilling his blood like royal blue paint dripping doen a wall.

 

[Kren]

Kren nodded his head, two to be spared. Just for the sake of serving as a warning. Then care had to be taken. They'd have to consider which ones would need to serve such a purpose. He glanced at the hand as it was placed on his arms, smiling and looking up back at her eyes. "As you wish." he affirmed preparing as she conjured her powers of protection and destruction before them in their approach to the enemies, foolishly still thinking they could fight the couple that brought them catastrophe.

His blades rushed the enemy, two of them jabbing through the weak parts of one of the hk's arms and through it's insides then tearing through the head of another. As they approached she expanded that power even further, he gave her a smile and lunged out from them, ignoring the dying Twi'lek fool and cutting through the droids like they were made of stiff paper his strength so vastly enhanced such a task was nothing to him. The blades hurled from his hands into two more droids as he grabbed another tearing its head off from its body and hurling it and the sword and daggers flew back to him only to be launched. Creating a volley even more intense than before, no longer precisely controlling their every action. Instead he used the Vo to simply hurly them back at him after he'd sent them sailing through the air to impale an enemy, using his hands to break into another and then recall them. Giving perhaps an appearance that he was using his Vo on three seperate weapons, when in reality he was just calling them one instant after another and using his pure strength and skill to send them flying again.

Even for a trained, such a task in the midst of a battle against many enemies was no small feat. It was a risk, step off, and the fact you were not gripping the sword with a Vo's grasp meant it could just as easily impale you. But he was an elite, and in truth, he felt like showing off to the woman just how fast and brutal he could be. She might have already offered him something, but he wanted to further affirm that. Even aside from that he truly wanted to have that dinner. So quiet on the outside, yet so full of energy within.

Pele Vo

 

[Pele Vo]

Pele watched a Kren swept in and began to tear apart the enemy. She watched his muscles flex as he commanded his Vo to bring down the foe, Pele cast more ice as arrows soearong overhead into HKs, the corridor was filling with the Sons of Soulless, who these intruders used as slaves. While the Vran in no one disregarded technology, their passion for Science demanded the use of the latest breakthroughs, that being so there was something to be said for attacking an enemy in the old way, up close and personal had a sense of honor to it.

Pele wanted to speee this siege, so she levitated hersled in a ice streak and headed for next room where a dark robed One snapped their red saber to life. With her hand and her eyes aglow with Vo, she froze his hand to weapon making him cry out. She then drew her blade and assailed this Descrator. Her blade cur off his arm, the blood instead of flowing fell ij chunks of ice as she dug her hand in and froze him from within, she then toppled him, the Dark Jedi shattering into hundreds of pieces. This grisly scene prompted some HKs to open fire. Seeing the ligjtsaber she levitated it and snapped the garnet blade to life and began to parry the bolts aeay with sweeps, when she spun in an almost ballet move, cutting them down with her Vran blade in one hand and the saber in the other, one Droid fired at point blank range, and she declected the bolt right into its head. She looked at the humming weapon, and examined it. It was useful so she kept it and waited for Kren to clear that hallway and join her on the room. She imagined her would tear down the walls, which mads her smile. He was a strong specimen of a Vran, and she wanted to sped this gauntlet to get to their date.

 

[Kren]

Kren tore through the droids, his breathing was deep but hardly what one could call laborious. He was a warrior of Vran'Ti's best, and he'd fight as long as was required to achieve their ends. He plunged through another hk's core and then yanked two of their feet towards him using his sword to split them both in two before he followed after Pele who was herself tearing the life from a dark jedi.

He grinned at their death, he wasn't generally a sadistic man. But there was still something appealing about seeing her stomp the life out of these forces along with him. He moved on, unsurprisingly pulling a similar move to earlier and ripping wall off to hurl through any droids remaining and open the way into any future hallways, but this time. He was not so patient, he focused his power into that shreded piece of ship. Forming it into a hefty blade resembling what one might use for an axe, designed to split rather than being razor sharp. And then he plunged it ahead. They didn't need many alive, and so instead it tore through nearly everything in its way with him chasing after it, eventually pushing it by hand as well to keep it going with both hands and Vo putting their force on it.

On the way he found a Dark Jedi himself, tugging them to the ground with the Vo and quickly clearing the room thanks to the already moving blade tha tmight have killed the jedi otherwise. Then in a breath dodging his blade manhandling the dark jedi, creating cries of pain as each limb was dislodged in its joint contorting the soullessness body as Kren pressed a hand against his throat squeezing it near to completely shut and speaking with a warning tone, "Be silent." he tossed them on the ground, looking up to Pele he spoke in their own language, "Should that be one of those to serve as warning. Or shall we just wait until we are through most of them." It was practical question, yet he was still placing a dark jedi at her feet for her to decide their fate. True, they were not the greatest conquest he could have achieved. Yet still it was still not unlike a hunter bringing back an offering.

Pele Vo

 

[Pele Vo]

Pele looked at the Dark Jedi with her glowing eyes, she then turned to Kren

“This one may live, but remove his arms. He will not need them.”

The Comet Queen stood calling ice to form around the limbs to free the blood for the blow. This was to humiliate these trespassers, to let them walk this galaxy crippled. Deciding to add her own touch, she formed a knife blade of ice and gouged out his eye, she then froze the wound, making a sheet eye patch.

Pele enjoyed this mutilation of enemies, she Soulless deserved to be taken apart, for they who dis not possess the Vo were little better than beasts. Her prejudice was so deep, that if she could she would disfigure the Dark Jedi further, save that he was to be a messenger, and they needsd one good eye to see and their tongue, that she ordinarily would cut asunder, but they needed powers of does h to warn people to not venture to Vran’Ti.

The ease with which Kren overpowered every opposition before them made Pele flush, watching him tear the droids apart and the Soulless made her pupils dilate in the blue glow, her heart rate elevate, and her cold cheeks flush. She had a steong urge to touch Kren, to kiss him. For he had proved already to be the perfect mate candidate. Only her duty to the Vran steered her from acting in these emotions which wound have to wait till dinner. One thing was certain, these Scion Cultists would rue the day the ventures into Vran Space.

 

[Kren]

Kren smirked slightly, he was no sadist. But still, this was a special moment. The face returned to neutral as he raised the sword, he couldn't sense the Ice Lady's use of the force within, but he did recognize the shift. And so adjusted where his blade would strike appropriately, quickly severing both limbs after the man was surely already in incredible pain from the loss of an eye. The speed was not for his sake, just for efficiency.

He wiped it across their jacket, and pushed the dark jedi up against a wall, bending a beam around them to hold them in place for the time being. Given what pain they must be in, and the fact their body was likely incredibly exhausted from losing two limbs and an eye, and any injuries from the crash as well, he doubted they were going to be in any condition any time soon to escape. But he wasn't going to risk that. Naturally he didn't feel like them talking at present either, and so tore a piece of their cloth and shoved it in their mouth before tying it in place. No interuptions were necessary, and they certainly shouldn't go blabbing about things if they recovered enough to shout to their friends.

The warrior returned to Pele, and gave her a smile, "By the time the army is here. They will not have anything more to do but harvest the ship for parts." he was not normally one for jokes, but he'd make an exception for that too. Then he'd hear a noise.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following room would open up, standing at the other end surrounded by another 6 dark jedi and more droids stood a pale woman with long white hair in a black dress. She smiled towards the two, "You are ever so rude. Breaking my ships and my poor men like that. You're making their poor spirits ache with fear and loss." she hummed, her voice very nearly sounded genuine in her worry. Nearly, "I really must insist though that you let us be, I'm ever so sorry to have been so much trouble. But if you'd let us pass I'll pay my way off world and we can all go on with our lives." An alchemic sword leaned against the wall not far behind her, and well within reach. A new limb extended from her back reaching out and pulling the weapon to her before forming back into her body. Pele might recognize the familiarity of two presences in the one person. One, a Vo, the other that of the woman. Just as with any other Vran.

Kren stood in front of Pele watching the woman and her men cautiously, as far as he was concerned, the orders were still to kill all but one, but he wasn't sure if Pele had any thoughts about this woman in particular. While Kren couldn't sense the two presences, the casual shapeshifting was a fairly normal thing for a Ven that was trained as thoroughly as a Zhorngi, or a Vo Ni that was of the Ven race. Still, they brought so many foreigners into Vran territory so recklessly.

"Come then, let me pass. Lest more trouble be brought." she repeated in a friendly tone.

Pele Vo

Woman is wearing a Tserim Organic Suit shifted to look like clothing. Kinetic is raised to high with electricity reduced to low.

 

[Pele Vo]

When they entered the room Pele was surpised to see a Lady with Dark Jedi and Droids. She could feel The Vo, this was not another Scion nut and she was asking for clemency.

“Why does a Vran consort with Soulless? Why have you chosen ro asscpiate with heretics?”

Pele asked this as she formed a curved blade pf ice in her hand, her eyes burning as she approaches, noticing the sword nearby. The Comet Queen prepared herself, any Vran who would resort to Soulless alliances was weak, and needed to be culled. There was only a place for the strong, for the pure. If Vran’Ti was to rise in prominence, to become an empire capable of tilting with the Daritha and the Paladins, they must create strong bloodlines. This Woman, whoever she was had Daritha disciples among her, and she was vouchsafing them.

The Ice Queen began to send frost to seal the doors, making thick sheets, removing an easy means of escape. Pele felt a particular ire for this Guardian of Soulless and their mechanical minions. She brandished her ice saber and gave look at Kren , she was ready to become a comet and launch at the enemy, but first she would let Kren respond.

COMBINING KREN AND KRAE POSTS:

Kren watched her carefully, he noted Pele's preparations to get ready and that she'd acknowledge the woman as a Vran. He was ready too, he didn't speak a word to the strange woman, though she spoke First. If the Vran could be taken alive, fine, but the rest of them were pointless. He already began to take a step as he used the Vo again to empower his body. He said to Pele in reference to their earlier statement about survivors, "I suppose there is no one to send back to."


"Barely more than slaves-" she'd began before seeing them both move and make a step. In an instant, she went from a humanoid form to something

massive and grotesque, offshoots of flesh and bone like tentacles wrapped in rancor-like hide some of which tore through the ceiling above her creating an entirely new opening, more which ripped up flooring to halt their progress. and another which grabbed the sword pulling it to her hands, the weapon did not move as easily in those hands as it should in a master duelist, yet it still empowered her physically and her powers due to its nature. "Do not tempt my hand." the voice had changed, even the presence in the force had changed. And the body shifted just as rapidly into a man, likewise tall and pale as the woman form, but this time the sword was held quite properly and the blade was far better attuned.

Kren's phrik blades were launched at the new form who used his own sword and powers to strengthen his physical abilities to block them and then send lightning towards Kren who was forced to block it with his alchemic sword, "You caused this!" he roared as the rest of his allies would attack the two of them again.

Then, just as quick as he'd gone against Kren her turned on Pele sending a current of force lightning at her, Kren leapt at him to push him into a more duelist fight and the two began to bout. Despite the new form having apparently quite good dueling capabilities, he was forced to mix in lightning and telekinesis rather often to prevent Kren from keeping momentum. The 6 dark jedi and machines would then rush at Pele.
