[IC] Star Wars - Jedi Exile

[EliteCommander]

Being that she spent most of her time away from the Temple, Shir was not quite as familiar with its secrets as the Human seemed to be. She took up her position behind the group, with both blades at the ready. They would collect as many Jedi and other survivors as they could, but they could not afford to deviate far from their path. Not only were the clones no doubt numerous, but there was...something else. Amid all of the pain and death, there was the faint sense of something terrible, something powerful. It was something they should avoid at all costs.

As they started to move along, Shir tried to keep her senses open to danger. While not as skilled with the force as some other Jedi, most trained force-users could sense danger around them, and she was ready to react in an instant. The reduced gyroscopic effect of her shoto meant it could snap into a defense as quickly as she could flick her wrist, and with her primary blade following shortly after, she could deflect a surprising number of blaster bolts at a time as long as she was focusing on defense. At the very least, the Padawans were not going to be caught off-guard from behind. Unfortunately, the advantage which they had used against the clone assassins was now working against them. With the halls being as narrow as they were, they were restricted in how many of them could fight at once.

OOC: Right guys. I'm not going to wait on people who aren't posting for the benefit of those who want to post. If you do want to play please do, if you're having writers block/need help simply ask me and I'll help out. Collabs typically help writers block and if you are stuck to where you are or where you should go. Just ask.

Tyrell lead them down the hall, approaching near the hanger he slipped his lightsaber into his hand, and ignited it with a snap-hiss. Though was delighted when a padawan came around the corner, and briefly enraged when a blasterbolt struck the young woman from behind. He forced it down, rage and anger were the path to the Dark Side and that was the last path he needed to follow the now. He turned to the Padawans. "Stay here, call if you need any help." He then went running, jumping around the corner he immediately developed a guard position. Obviously a transport had just docked in the hanger bay for the corridor was full of clones. He began swirling his blade in a circle deflecting bolts, however there were so many he could not focus enough to return them to their source.

Despair clawed at his heart, and he tried to force it down. Though that too only distracted him and a stray bolt hit his thigh, going down to one knee he continued to bat the bolts. He stretched out in the force, feeling the switch for the secret passage he focused all his energy on that as the door opened, another bolt breaking through his defence. A door opened and he called to the Padawans. "Run! Quickly. I'll catch up." Though at this point he doubted he'd be able to do anything other than keep the clones at bay long enough for the padawans to make a head start.

Close and distant blaster fire was a constant as the group moved through the temple. Even if the path they took did not intersect with the clones themselves currently, it was easy to hear blaster fire and explosions through the walls, frighteningly close, in some cases. It was unnerving, but they pressed on regardless, as their chances of survival diminished the longer they were in the Temple.

Eventually, they made it to the hanger, but as Shir feared, the clones were there in force. A Padawan was cut down in front of them, and prompting the Human Jedi leading the way to hold off the blaster fire while the Padawans and Temple guards escaped through the passage he opened. Shir could sense no one following them, and since the passage had been closed down, the Padawans should not face opposition within, so Shir's thoughts turned to preventing the unnecessary sacrifice of her Human ally. As she rushed past the Padawans to join the Human, she grabbed the blaster rifle out of Tactus' hand. "Sorry, I need this."

Shir dashed into place alongside the Human with a lightsaber in one hand, and the rifle in the other. She placed almost all of her focus into joining him in deflecting the incoming shots with her blade, but at the same time, she held the blaster under her arm, firing from the hip at its highest rate of fire. Her goal was not accuracy, but rather suppression. As long as the shots were landing close enough to the clones, they would be forced to take cover, thereby reducing the volume of incoming fire, and hopefully giving them all enough time to escape.

Just before Tactus went through the tunnel he turned around and saw the master take a shot a bolt to the leg. He pulled his blaster from his hip and was about to return fire when his master came rushing by. Shir picked the weapon out of his hands and for a moment he was stunned, atleast until stray bolts started hitting near the entrance to the tunnel. At which point he thought what could he do. He came up with an idea which he knew was poor but it should work. He walked into tunnel a little bit so as to shield him from blaster fire and holstered his saber. He reached his hands out along with his presence in the force and grabbed onto the human. He yanked him as hard back as he could and sent him sliding on the ground. Although it wasn't very far he knew this would work atleast. Once again Tactus reached out and pulled the human towards himself. This was extremely exhausting for Tactus. He was now wishing his master actually used this aspect of the force more. He pulled again but with enough force this time to slide him quite a bit of the way.

Tactus yelled out over the blaster fire."Master! We need to leave!" He said between his heavy breathing. He gave one last hard pull that sent him onto his back. This brought the master to the lip of the entrance. Too exhausted to get up and in an attempt to dodge blaster fire Tactus crawled up to the master and grabbed him by the shoulders. He managed to stammer out under his breath."You're not allowed to die......too few." After dragging him back into the tunnel more he got up off the floor and continued dragging him further into the tunnel. "Master!" He yelled out again trying to call Shir back to him. They may get out of here just yet.

"I know the blueprints of the temple as well as the architects themselves." Gar replied to the master, immediately leading him and his group to maintenance shafts built into the oldest designs of the building that had gone unused for quite some time. Leading the way he entered the old shaft, keeping as quiet as possible while still moving quickly. He had no idea how long they had before more troopers might arrive. "My specialties are in stealth, programming, and engineering. You may find this information useful Drell, or perhaps not. You will likely be a better strategist than myself." He said quietly as they worked through the shafts.
