The Rebel Faction

Nihilus finds two other Sith apprentices, a man and a woman, which he felt he would need of their services.

"Hi there, I think I remember you Dehoir from the Sith Temple, so whos this here with you? What's the deal here and I could help out in some way which it would be ideal for three of us to work as a team to share the glory."

Nihilus's eyes narrowed as he looks at the howling wind behind me as he feels so much anger and hatred in his old heart.

The almost five thousand old dark side creature ponders the next move of this quest to be what he was meant to be...

"Perhaps my stealth craft would be of some use in this plan of yours Dehoir?" Nihilus speaks in a ghastly tone from his cold, hearted lips.

The lightsaber slashed and the captain fell headless on the ground, his head rolled several feet away.

"What the..." Orion heard one guard say, then they both rushed out of the shuttle to meet the guards in battle. Orion smiled taking an attackive stance, but still able to deflect blaster bolts, the 3 guards began shooting at him and he deflected few lasers until jumped on one of the boxes. The guards tried to get a clear shot, but orion was already in the air and landed next to a guard slashing the man to the knees so, that the man fell on the ground screaming in pain and drying. Next Orion spinned towards the next guard deflecting another blaster shot unfotunately his saber went high and he would have been wounerable, but Orion pushed the man with the force against some boxes at least knocking him out. Orion turned and took on the last one who was obviously affraid, that all his friends were taken out and was shooting like a madman, which made the blaster shots easy to deflect. Orion rolls in the ground and stabs the last man in the stomach keeping his saber there, Orion smiled because of the pain, that this man felt and the slashed the saber to the side like the man was almost cut in half. It sure wasn´t pretty, but it sure was enjoyable and then he turned to take out the last one, the man was unconsious against a box. Orion looked at Valas who had spared one of the men for their need so Orion stabbed the man in the heart and pulls it out deactivating it. Then he turns ro Valas with a vicous grin on his face. "Now you know what`s battle is all about against guys like these, fun." Orion smiled noticing, that Kraken had arrived in the midst of battle. Orion jumped on one of the boxes and waited for while until.

<<"Remember, Apprentices, that you must take care of the compound first... they have the higher powered Communications gear, which allows them to transmit farther than the frigate... We can not allow that compound to remain active before the frigate is captured. Destroy the compound first.">>

Orion looks at his companions and smiles slightly, then Valas talks.

"Looks like we've got a bit of a wait ahead of us." He said to his partners." He pulled out his ComLink and flicked it on.

"Valas hear. We've got the shuttle situation secured. We'll wait near it. If anyone needa additonal assitance we can be there in a moment. Vance out."

Orion jumped down from the boxes and walked to his companions.

"We need to take, that compound out first so shall we go? Unfortunately we have only 2 speeder bikes since you Kraken.."Orion whispers the next sentence."don`t know how to use your brains."Then Orion continues with a norman voice."So, that means we`ll have to share a bike and i meant myself and Valas, because I don`t wish to be swooping across the swamps alone with a man impaled in the front of my speeder." Orion sighs" Anyway Kraken stay here while I and Valas are going to take the compound out with some other students, but if you need one there is mine behind some bushes about 150 feet away from here on the edge of the swamp."

Orion and Valas left running trough the jungle soon finding their bikes, Orion starts the engine and jumps on it waiting for Valas...

Vance's words brought Leiden out of her preperations, and she glanced up and around the hanger. There were a few other apprentices in the process of entering, and Leiden used her feelings to test them out. Hrmm... maybe worth her time. Jumping down from her ship, she approached them quietly. Running around blindly and acting like this was a competition wasn't going to help anyone. It was competitive to a point, but Leiden didn't see the logic in making that blatant.

"It would seem that some of our fellow apprentices have rushed head long into battle. We must neutralize the enemy encampment immediately before they fully realize what is happening. Perhaps we should work together and form a plan of attack, but we must move quickly, I imagine the enemy heard those blasters and screams as well."

Leiden looked over at the man as she approached and stopped a little ways out from him. He had a point. She debated continuing further quietly. Part of her wanted to just continue on her own. It had always worked for her before. Another part of her knew that if she wanted to make progress, she was going to have to sacrifice some personal preferences, privacy among them. She opened herself up to feel it out, and before she could say anything, another apprentice, this one female joined the man. Leiden had an inate dislike for anyone of her own sex, but she was willing to throw it aside for someone working toward mutual goals.

"Suppose we kill all of the intruders in the compound; we would be without a way to get to the frigate without being detected." She inhaled deeply, and tossed her head back as she continued. "I suggest we take one of theirs alive. He, or she, could then contact their people aboard the frigate. From there we have our prisoner request a shuttle to pick him, or her, up; giving us the opportunity to fly undetected to the ship in orbit."

Moving forward, Leiden made herself known without saying anything. Her mind was focusing on the tactics of what she'd heard, and playing them off what she was feeling. So far, it seemed like the best idea. Better than taking off and trying to make her way around the mess already made. The man seemed to agree with her and Leiden glanced over at him, and then back to the woman. Leiden was standing slightly off balance, curves played up, her petiteness and small build thrown to the front. It was a habit, and she did it without thinking.

"An excellent plan my lady. A prisoner would provide us with a familiar voice to contact the orbiting frigate with and provide the appropriate codes to them. As for a plan of attack, the rashness of our friends may work to our advantage. If we take our speeder bikes and circle around the compound, away from where combat has broken out, we may be able to move in close undetected. Most likely a large portion of their patrol and guards are rushing to check out what is happening. We can avoid them entirely and hit the base from the rear or flank."

"You should get going then." Leiden commented, her voice dry. If they expected to use that to their advantage, they needed to move quicker then they were now. It wouldn't be long before the people figured out what was going on.

Judicious watched as Darth Orion and Valas Quinn took off into the forest, leaving him behind with the shuttle. He sneered his lips and hissed as they left, for Orion was probably not aware that Jude had very good hearing. Not that it mattered. These two seemed to be very foolhardy and recklessley, and he himself had been a fool for following them into battle in the first place. No, he preferred to have the combat happen to a place and time of his choosing. He started to walk around to the shuttle when a beeping noise alerted him to something. He rushed up the ramp to the shuttle's cockpit, where the communications line was beeping. He pressed a button.

"All forces, this is Commander Genda. General recall, repeat, general recall, we need all troops back here on the double." said the commander.

Feeling a tingling of fear on his neck, Jude proceeded to stride out of the shuttle, and turned his comlink frequency to that of the one used by the Sith.

"Beware, all Sith forces, the enemy is alert to your presence approaching the compound. Me thinks they have set up survelliance cameras or sensors around their base. Be advised, they have recalled their outlying troops. I will of course respond to their hails and recall to their headquarters as requested. Over." reported Judicious. He then went over to one of the guard's bodies, and taking off his cloak, and the guard's uniform, he began to change.

"I need one headstrong apprentice with a knack for machinery- do you think that could be you? If so we can take my ship, fly to the south entrance of the compound, comm into any siths we can locate inside the enemies base and destroy the comm tower from te outside. Then I can use the cloaking device I had installed to enable us to reach their frigate unannounced."

Darth Kane grinned humourisly.

"Headstrong? Haha, indeed you are right. I am the man to do it. I will help you. But I'm not much for the cloaking device part..."

He smiled evily and pressed a small red buttom on his red lightsaber and the crimson energy popped out with a glow.

"My style is more...Shall we say, 'aggressive'..."

He looked at Darth Rowax.

"Let's go then." He said as he looked blithely upon the other Sith. A fight was coming- he liked it.
