The Dangerous Pursuit 2.0

[Arkava]

Pax Republica Capital Ship

Arkava was fighting fiercely, his lightsaber flashing everywhere. They were starting to get some Dark Jedi mixed in with the troopers. The Jedi had the advantage, though. The Sith troopers and Dark Jedi were forced to walk through the bottlenecked entrance to the ship. They couldn't get the full amount of their numbers through the entrance, where the members of Pax had free reign in the open corridor. But the Sith outnumbered the Republicans and the powerful Sith Lord had yet to engage in combat.

Arkava parried a red lightsaber and sparks flew. Gaiutus was fighting every bit as fiercely as Arkava was. He was engaging two Dark Jedi, but he was losing ground. Arkava said something to Gaiutus and their eyes locked for a split second.

Arkava threw his lightsaber at one of the Dark Jedi fighting Gaiutus. It landed flush, right in the man's stomach. Crimson blood splashed out of the wound and the Sith went down. Meanwhile, Gaiutus reached across and parried the attack from Arkava's assailant, then slashed upward with his hilt and hit the Sith square in the chin. He staggered back and Gaiutus slashed off his hand.

With only one Dark Jedi left, Gaitus and Arkava moved to attack the Sith as one. Gaiutus slashed high and Arkava swung low. The Dark Jedi used both his lightsabers to deflect their attacks and came back with a flurry of his own. They retreated back. Arkava Force Jumped over the Sith, and landed behind him. They both saw the panic in his eyes. He did something that surprised them both. He turned, his back to Gaiutus, and slashed both sabers at Arkava. Arkava deflected one, but the other cut a slash across his arm. He yelped and fell back. The Sith moved to plunge his lightsabers down, but Gaiutus beat him to it. He slashed off both of the Sith's feet, then Force Pulled his lightsaber away.

Arkava onely had time to say, "You still refuse to kill them if you can help it. You saint." Then they were both forced to return to the action.

[Jorax Skyles]

Jacen and Fiver moved quickly down the hall looking for a familiar. But smoke was coming from all directions. As they reached the end of the hall, Jacen stopped and kneeled down and ask Fiver to try and pick put a intercom signal. After 30 seconds of not getting anything, Jacen and Fiver continued down the hall and onto a damaged elevator.

[Damek Critou]

Dustin was weaving through debris field after debris field of destroyed Sith ships to get away from the obvious Sith ace. The bastard was much better than the usual Sith what-they-call-aces, almost unreal. Dustin was barely keeping ahead of the guy, and he almost lost shields back there a ways. He continued to navigate the ever enlargening field of scrap in an attempt to break the Sith's line of sight. It wasnt going well, more of a stand still now. A lot of the transports were getting to the ship.

Where the hell was Jacen?

[---Aux---]

Aux' finally reached the bridge, after getting lost a bit on the way, only to find it deserted other than the ships pilots, a small trooper squad, and bridge gunnery crew.

"Where is everyone?" he asked.

"We don't know, most people who were here left to fight the Sith boarding the ship," the pilot replied.

"Where is the nearest place the Sith are boarding?" Aux' asked.

"2 decks below us sir, detecting 10 Imperials entering at this time" The pilot answered.

"Thank you pilot." Aux' said. He turned and saluted the squad of troopers.

"Ready to fight the Sith men?" he asked.

"Yes, Sir," they simultaneously replied.

"Lets do it." Aux' said. They set of for the place where the Sith were boarding.

[Aldin Kiris]

Aldin looked through his optice at the incoming Sith soldiers. He exhaled, and squeezed the trigger. Blaster bolts rang out and 2 of the troopers fell. Imediately other soldiers began blasting at his position. "Well I bet that ticked them off!" he yelled as he raised his rifle and fired more. He wanted to throw the frag grenade on his belt at them, but he was afraid that he would hit his allies. Everyone was fighting so feriously. "Keep it up guys! We will pull through!"

[Jorax Skyles]

As Jacen and Fiver, finally made it to their Costumized Star Saber XC-01 starfighter, to go fight the Sith Empires aerial forces, and Find his squad captain Dustin Critou. As Jacen hooked Fiver up to the Left Wing he then hopped in his starfighter. He then took off into the Debris filled warzone to find his Captain but most importantly his friend. Upon Flying the surrounding area he picked up to starfighters from a distance. Jacen recongized Dustin's costumized starfighter. And being Proactive as always he went to go check it. "Fiver, I believe we've found Dustin".

[Hart of Hircine]

Azno still out where he was dropped of was still finishing of the last of the Sith that was attacking him and the republic soldiers around him.

Finally a Sith appeared that looked equivalent to Azno. It was another Mandolorian Force Wielder. The Sith walked forward saying "I am Zeppeki and I have come to defeat you in Battle." Then the Sith ignited his sabers and so did I. I told the troopers to not attack this Sith I wanted an honorable challenge.

Azno and the Sith both clashed into each other with force speed with one of each of their sabers attacking. Then Azno force pushed him to the edge of a ravine knowing that Zeppeki's mind was clouded with thoughts Azno asked to spare his life as he told Zeppeki to find a way away from the darkness to find a way of piece. As Zeppeki got up Azno put away his sabers as Zeppeki ignited his and then Azno shoved him into the ravine with a stronger force wave. Then Azno and his troopers headed forward.

[---Aux---]

Aux' and the troopers reach the place where the Sith were boarding, only to find it deserted.

"What happened to these Sith?" Aux' wondered.

At that moment a wall blew out across the corridor and 9 imperial troopers and a Sith came rushing out.

"Men, you handle the troopers, I've got the Sith." Aux' said.

Aux' drew his blade, and waited for the Sith to make the first move. Rather than engaging with his saber, the sith shot tendrils of dark blue lightning across the room. Aux' blocked with his saber and prepared to move in with his lightsaber, but was dismayed to see that his troopers were losing against the Sith force.

Seeing that they needed more numbers to handle the sith, and knowing that they were no good to the Republic dead or captured, Aux' yelled "retreat."

So Aux' and the troopers retreated back down the corridor.

[Kail Sirius]

Kail hated these guns.

They were heavier in the back then the front, had way too much recoil, too inaccurate. The rapid weapons style just wasn't his thing.

Obviously one of the sith figured this out and started aiming for him; luckily for Kail, the same thing he hated about these guns were the same things he love. No one could really say they had a great shot with them.

But as always, that one shot did hit; square in the left shoulder.

"Shit!" Kail screamed in pain as he took the fury he felt at his inadept abilities with the blaster rifle and threw it at the imperial who shot him; hitting him straight in the face and watching him fall down; grabbing at his nose which now sorted a nice red river.

Laughing a little, Kail took a few steps behind his comrads, "Medic?!"

[Kryad Explo]

Kryad and Sorful were soon at the Pax Capital Ship and they thought they would be safe soon. When they got there they saw that the Pax Capital Ship was under attack. They flew as sneakily as possible.The Sith saw them and fired.The left engine went down. They crashed into the Pax Capital Ship. Sorful took a wookie spacesuit. While Kryad made sure his comlink was with him. They both went out on the ship. Kryad grabbed the comlink and tried to get anyone in the ship " Is there anyone here, pleas respond fast." While Sorful had gone to find a weak spot.

[---Aux---]

Aux' was in quite a quandary. Him and the troopers were retreating down the corridor, but the only place in that direction was the bridge, and that was the last place he wanted to lead the sith.

"We've gotta make a stand men," Aux' said, "I wont lie, odds are against us, but there is more at stake here than then our lives. Here we stand and fight for the future of the Republic, of peace and of freedom."

Aux' and them men turned around and rushed the sith.

[Hart of Hircine]

Azno and his men got through enemy lines and ran to where Aux was it took a while to get there but Azno and his men wasn't going to let another Pax Republican die by the hands of the Sith.

Azno and his men found Aux and his remaining men. The Sith were in between them and didn't know Azno and his men were them. Anzo ignited his sabers and jumped into the Sith group and started dicing the soldiers.

Then the Sith shot lightning at Azno. Azno dropped his sabers and fell to the ground and couple of feet away from where he was standing and passed out.

[---Aux---]

Aux' was just reaching the sith when he saw Azno get hit with the lightning and fall. Aux' feared that the young jedi was dead, but didn't have time to worry about such things, lest he suffer the same fate. The young jedi had drastically reduced the imperial numbers, and for that Aux' was grateful. The Republic troopers with him had the remaining imperial troops held well at bay, so he was free to deal with the Sith Lord.

Aux' activated his blade, and struck at the sith. The sith parried and launched his own assault at Aux's legs. Aux' jumped an barley cleared the crimson blade. The sith was caught off guard with his blade pointed down, Aux' sliced both of the sith's arms off at the elbows, and knocked him out with the hilt of his lightsaber. He would have killed the sith, but as his old master on Alderaan, his homeworld has taught him, a jedi does not kill a helpless opponent.

Aux' took out his commlink and said over the ships intercom, " We need a medic in hallway 47, many troopers and Jedi Azno are injured."

[Arkava]

Pax Republica Capital Ship

The intense fighting aboard the Pax Republica raged on. Arkava hacked and slashed, but the Sith seemed to have unlimited numbers. Eventually, they all knew they would be over-run, but they were making the Sith earn their precious capital ship. Arkava had racked up a few kills, but he was mostly trying to distract the sith troopers away from the others. The fighting was chaotic, and there was never time to rest. The Pax Republica forces were dwindling.

Suddenly, the Sith Lord in charge of the forces barked an order, and all the sith retreated back through the hatch. Too tired to care why, Arkava slumped against the wall, trying to catch his breath. He used his comm-link and found that sith all around the ship were retreating in a similar fashion.

Arkava used the time to gather his strength, incase the Sith decided to attack again.

((OOC: Everyone has recieved a PM concerning what will happen. Use these posts to get your character in position on the ship. After everyone is aboard, I will commence with the destruction of The Pax Republica))

[---Aux---]

There was no way the medics would make it in time to save Azno's life. Aux' could feel the young jedi fading away in the force. Aux' had to act quickly if he was to save him. He would have to take the wounded to the med-bay himself. The sith would have to be left there to bleed to death. A jedi should not kill, but the life of a sith is not worth the life of many loyal members of the republic.

"Men, the medics aren't going to make it in time. Everyone take one of the wounded. We have to get them to the med-bay," Aux' said and without further comment he picked up Azno and used the force to accelerate his movement as he carried the boy to the med-bay. He could only hope he made it in time, but he feared the boy was already to far gone.
