The Bright Side of a Falling City (OPEN)

[Deleted]

Desteana
I held the boy close from the explosion before answering his question. "I don't know were my love is little one, but we'll find him together." I did not realize i had called Yulan my love till after i said it. I knew i had feelings for the clone, but i had never told him or anyone else. When this was all over i plan on leaving with him.

Yulan
We were coming upon the Jedi temple when a heavy revanite drop ship landed there. I could see a Jedi walking up to the exiting hooded figure, but i couldn't tell who it was. I circled around and landed at the back entrance and began heading towards the front. I just hope i'm not late.

Lord Tarlock
My shuttle landed on the doorstep to the temple. I stepped of and was immediately greeted by a Jedi who wanted to take me in. I turned to him, breathing heavily in the mask of Revan and asked "Youand what army? I don't think your Jedi brethren can take on my army." The ship's entire bottom detached revealing almost a fifty Revanite force users, hundreds of Revanite militia men, and a dozen of Revanite super droids*.

*(Revanite Super Droids- the RSD is a four legged black droid with a shield impervious to everything, a claw on the left arm, and a back mounted machine gun. Due to their extreme load out they are vary hard to kill, and super expensive.)

Lyalill nodded hesitantly, but was unable to question her. He pressed close, much like a child n a stormy night, closing his eyes and resting against her. The Anomid cried softly, shaken from the experience. He just wasted to go somewhere calm, with his new friend, Yulan, and this nice Jedi, and sleep for ages. Here, it was freezing cold, too loud, and too scary for him.

[Ragnan Vang]

Going on my knees, I concentrate force energy and gather as much as I can as fast as I possibly could. I knew Tarlock would rush me, he would rather have me as a Jedi prisoner and force me to train his Revanites. But that wasn't going to happen, he underestimated me, and my connection with the force.

When Dooku left the Jedi Order, I went under Yoda's teaching and became his new Padawan. Yoda was wise and powerful, and taught me much, but inparticular he taught me a certain force ability he called 'Repulse'.

Closing my eyes, I felt the force rush into and through my body, the raw energy was touched with the lightside of the Force and its power increased.

Hearing the rushing footsteps coming toward me, jumping forward I relased the energy and threw my arms out to my sides, stretching out quickly. The force energy escaped me in a ball of pure energy that hit Revanites and continued to expand. The Revanitees were thrown away like noting and hit the ground dead. The 'Repulse' worked and took a decent portion of Tarlock's forces. He couldn't deny himself a challenge like myself. He would challenge me.

"Tarlock! I can easily do that again and again until there is only you. And see that six of your droids have been destroyed! Why don't you stop being a coward like Grevious and Dooku and face me! Or am I too much for you?"

A Dangerous game, but Tarlock was easy to tempt. I am a Jedi Guardian, a battle-hardened warrior, a military strategist. I knew Tarlock, I knew how he thought, I was prepared for his forces.

A Single Revanite ran up to me and swung his weapon at my head, taking a step back I swung up diagonally and killed the warrior. Tarlock is a fool not to stop me now. But my real plan was to wait for Jedi reinforcements.

Lord Tarlock
I was unfazed by the Jedi's move, and laughed at the him for trying to stop me. "Arrogant Jedi, my forces are numerous, and my droids are suppose to die. Besides shouldn't you be more focused on the Separatist? MEN, ENGAGE THE FORCES INSIDE! You Jedi might be able to kill me, but you are none of my concern. I have a clone to kill" All the droids began moving towards the Jedi, holding their hostage. Large amounts of Separatist forces began over running the city towards the senate. It was the simpletons move: follow me and loose the city, or let me go and loose one trooper.

Yulan
I was running through the temple towards the entrance of the tunnels. I opened them to Lyalill and Desteana. I pulled them out and rushed with them to the library, away from the main hall. I could feel his presence now, his care and grief, as if it never left. My general's brother was here. Lord Githal.

Desteana
Yulan helped me and the boy up. I sensed my brother, trapped and in suffering. I also sensed his padawan, the cold hearted boy who let his feelings fall for me. I also sensed his anger towards Yulan, blaming him for my actions. I knew i had to face him, alone.

Lord Githal
I was trapped, in my own droid. I could sense a familiar force, Ragnan Vang's i believe. I could also feel my padawan, hungering for blood. I used as much energy as i could strengthen to rip a whole in the droids chest. Now i could see Vang now, and i moved one of the untrue Revanite's lightsabre to him to use. "Go Master Vang, my padawan is going to kill my sister and Commander Yulan, stop him at all costs. I know you think i'm evil, but i'm not. Just save my sister please." With that i began ripping the droid prison from the inside.

Lyalill was shaking so badly that he could hardly stand. As soon as he saw Yulan, the one person he knew and trusted, the Anomid wrapped his arms around his leg and refused to let go, hugging him tightly.

[Ragnan Vang]

Without hesitation the Revanite forces ran towards myself, turning my attention to one I didn't see the other that was poised to kill me. But Lord Githal cut through his droid and killed the Revanite behind me.

He he spoke to me I noticed Tarlock leap over me and run into the Temple, he was on the hunt. I nodded and followed in pursuit. Taking one of my hilts, I activate it and slash one militia soldier after another.

Unlike Tarlock, I knew the Temple better than him. I knew where Yulan was and took a shortcut. After a few minutes I reach them and faced the only way in the room.

"Tarlock is on his way, keep the Anomid close to you. I will take care of Tarlock"

Not long after I finished, Tarlock walked into the room. I saw him take out his lightsaber hilt. In return, I unclipped my other hilt and activated it. My two Cyan blades illuminated the dark room. Taking long calm breaths, I focused my energy and mind on the now.

"Tarlock, there is escape for you. You must realise that by now. The Jedi Order will not take this attack lightly. And I don't either"

Going into a neutral lightsaber stance, I wait for his attack. I was proficient in Soresu, and in Ataru. I was not one to rush into combat, I learned to be patient and calm in the storm. I was known for my combat prowess, and my skill using Soresu, some have said that I am a better user of the lightsaber form than Master Kenobi.

Lord Tarlock
I ran in the temple and moved towards the place i could sense Yulan. When i got there the Jedi from before was waiting for me. "You think i care how the Jedi think of me. I'm here for that ugly clone behind you. And i will kill him, one way or another" I grabbed my lightsaber and turned it on, blade behind me. I rushed the Jedi and immediately locked blades with him. I pushed him with the force and jumped over an incoming green lighsaber blade. I looked up to see Desteana holding her lightsaber staff and ready for a fight. Now i had to deal with two Jedi.

Deteana
I reached a room with the Anomid and Yulan, when Vang appeared in the doorway. Following him was my brother's padawan. They drew their sabers and began fighting. I activated and threw mine the second Vang was pushed back. When it came back i activated the other side. "Vang, we need to work together if we hope to beat him. Commander, get Lyalill out of here. Now, let's begin"

Yulan
I reached a room with the Anomid and Desteana, when Vang appeared in the doorway. Behind him was Githal's padawan learner, and i immediately felt his hatred towards me. As the three Jedi began to fight i began carrying the boy down the hall to the armory. I took off my custom armor and pulled out my Mando suit. I picked the boy up again and took off for the temple's roof.

Lord Githal
I tore the droid up and killed a false Revanite set on killing the General. I took the pretenders lightsaber as Vang entered the temple. I starred at the massive place, forgetting how good the place felt. I walked in, striking down any pretenders i passed. I could sense the fight between my sister, Vang, and the traitor of a padawan intensifying with every hit. I had to hurry if i was to stop Tarlock from killing them.

[Deleted]

Lyalill was still in tears, traumatized by the whole experience. He clung to Yulan for dear life as he was whisked off, unable to even sign to the clone he was shaking so badly.

[Ragnan Vang]

Slamming my blade into his our blades locked, our of the corner of my eye I saw Desteana. Jumping off the wall behind me I land crouched then stood to my full height ready for any attack.

"No, I will deal with Tarlock, you help your brother! Hw can't handle all of the Revanites by himself! Assist him!"

Yulan and Lyalill had left and I plan to be the oly thing between Tarlock and them. Lyalill is to be my Padawan, and Yulan is a good soldier. And I am not going to let some delerious fool cause any harm to them. I will protect them with my life.

Going into a Soresu stance I prepare for Tarlock's attacks, whatever they may be.

"Come on then Tarlock. Entertain me"

[Deleted]

Desteana
I followed Vang's advice and pushed Tarlock to the side and moved towards my brother. When i got to him there was a pile of the Revanite bodies, and a woman standing next to him. She was holding a purple and a red lightsaber and was wearing the true mask of Revan. She turned them off, turned to my brother, took off her mask, and kissed him. I stayed back, watching the moment my brother and this mysterious woman were sharing. Than she jumped to the ceiling and disappeared. I ran up and greeted my brother as we prepared for the second wave.

Lord Tarlock
I was enraged by the events that just happened. "YOU FOOL OF A JEDI, YOU LET MY PRAY GET AWAY!" I shot bursts of push at the annoyance, launching him out a window onto a platform. I jumped down and immediately began flying my attacks sloppily at him. I was to enraged to actually control my attacks, but that wouldn't matter as long as the Jedi died.

Yulan
I landed on the roof and held Lyalill against my chest plate, rocking back and forth to calm him. It had been about five minutes when a masked and cloaked woman appeared on the roof. I watched in amazement as she dragged Revanite ships into each other and sending giant frigates all around just with the force. I was just glad that, she was on our side.

Lord Githal
I was surrounded by my false followers, when my pride and joy jumped next to me. She was a direct descendant of Darth Revan, and believed in her mother's ways deeply. She began cutting down every one who charged us, making a pile of bodies that in the end we were standing on. I was panting heavily, and when i turned to her i was greeted with her lips to mine. I sensed in her gratitude and compassion. She put her mask back on and lept to the skies. My sister ran up and lit her saber, preparing for the rest of the false Revanite's.

[Ragnan Vang]

Thrown out the window, I land crouched on the durasteel roof below us. Tarlock landed before me and attacked me with fast but sloppy attacks. Angling my blade, I was able to parry his attacks against me. Backflipping, I land about five metres away from him. The wind picked up adn made my robe robe fluttle violently in the wind.

With a brisk movement I took off my robe and sto-od bare chested before him. My chest showed the many scars caused by blasters, lightsabers, arrows, axes, swords, etc. but the most distinguishing scar is the large scar that runs, along my chest caused by a Drexl.

"You have no idea who you are fighting Tarlock"

Tarlock was underestimating me, I was trained by Yoda, The Jedi Grandmaster. And I was one of his best students, he even said it on multiple occassions.

Sliding my foot forward slightly, I use the force to bost my movements at blinding speeds, and came at him quick and recise. Aiming a quick stab at his right shoulder, and then spin around in mid air and hurricane kick toward his head immediately after the stab. Both attacks were very fast, and Tarlock was full of anger, it would be a pure mirale if he was able to block both attacks.

Standing away from his again I await his next set of attacks. His rage toward me was getting the best of him, and was allowing me to use less energy, and both my attacks were powerful and strong. Tarlock was a fool to think he could best me.

[Deleted]

Lord Tarlock
Every move i made he either blocked or used to his advantage. I dodged the Jedi's attacks and sent a few of my own before i could finally clear my head. I closed my eyes and took a few calming breaths. Through my calmed mind i could tell i was out matched, but that hasn't stopped me before. "Master Jedi, what is your name?"

[Ragnan Vang]

Twisting and turning, I easily dodged his attacks,Tarlock spoke, in his voice I knew he was calm, but I was impressed that he could dodge both attacks. But he still didn't know who he was dealing with. I had already planned the next hundred moves, all with different outcomes. Tarlock has lost this one.

"Who I am doesn't concern you. Now surrender"

I would surprise him and go on the attack. Sending a furry of attacks at his chest and waist were faster than my last ones, and would be fatal if any were to hit. But in my arrogance I unknowingly have left my face open for an attack.

[Deleted]

Lord Tarlock
I dodged a few of his attacks before grabbing him. I pulled out my serrated knife and slit the left side of his face. Pushing him with the force against the wall, I took a nice long look at him before speaking. "It is my concern, i want to know the name of the Jedi who could match me in fighting ability, and i will not surrender to the likes of you."

[Ragnan Vang]

I felt the serrated blade rip into my face causing me to scream out in pain, and before I could steady myself I was slammed back into a wall. Regaining my balance, I noticed I could not see out of my left eye, and could feel blood dripping down my face and down my body.

"I am your end Tarlock. That is who I am"

Standing up to my full height I mask in the lightside of the force and regain my lost strength. I take a step forward and close my eyes whilst flourishing my blades in a rapid sequence.

I then leaped in his direction and slashed at his right thigh, then with my other blade at the same time, stabbed at his shoulder. Then after the stab I flipped backwards aiming a strong kick at his jaw.

My aim was true with all attacks as I was using the force as my guide, I was using the force as my eyes, I was using the force as my ally. I was one with the force, just as Master Yoda said I would be.
