[center][b][color=7bcdc8]Xeviiy Sinclair[/color][/b] [b][color=f7976a]Coruscant[/color][/b][/center] Xeviiy felt like she was going to get her attack off, it seemed like she would, a perfect opening, one that could what she felt for sure now get him to back off and she could make her final move. Underneath the cloth though, if the rest of her face could have been seen, was the look of shock as the man took one hand off his heavy blade and then used his hand to smash down onto her hilt, knocking it out of her hands and putting her off her balance, stumbling until she managed to recover a little, only to see the man's blade coming towards her, no, that can't be she had had him, she knew she did. She felt the man's blade slash across her chest and part of her arm, sending an insurmountable amount of pain over her as an eruption of blood came out of the fresh wound agape on her body as well as making her left arm unusable. She let out a painful scream as she gripped at her chest with her right hand, dark crimson liquid running down her hand as it tried to stop the bleeding; for a moment, she forgot that this was just a vision and wasn't real, it felt so real to her that in that brief moment she thought it was and at the same time slowed down once more. Glancing back at the family who looked shocked that she was hurt, before looking to the man who had just finished his attack and was getting ready to strike again. There it was, an actual opening this time, one that would be fatal, at that moment, she couldn't think about anyone but the family, if she fell, there would be no one to stop the man, Xeviiy would be dead and so would the family, she couldn't let that happen, if she were to fall, it would be on her own terms, even if it meant going against what she believed in, but there was no time to think in such idealism. In that slow instance of time for her, she reached out with the force, reaching out to her unlit hilt and then in an instant, the weapon hastily flew back to it's owner's hand, the turquoise blade ejecting out of it and then she lunged towards the center of the man's chest, “If I'm going to die, then at least you're coming with me, I won't let you kill this family!” She shouted to the man, rage and determination showing in her body and her mouth, she was determined to kill him, even with her dead, the family would be safe, that's all that mattered. [hr] [center][b][color=7ea7d8]Leon Athos[/color][/b] [b][color=f7976a]Coruscant[/color][/b][/center] Leon smirked at her amusement at him being a former Jedi, well padawan, but those were semantics really, he was logged as having been part of the order, so that technically made him a Jedi. Still though, he does sometimes wish that he had finished his training, perhaps he'd be a full knight by now, maybe even a master, but that didn't really matter now, he was a military dog of the Republic, right now that was his main focus. “Yeah, that's right Lieutenant, I was a padawan here, learned the ways of the force, learned how to use a lightsaber, the whole kit and caboodle.” He smiled to her a little, remember his days when he was younger, learning under the Jedi, it seemed like those times were both close and far away at the same time. Leon then caught Anna's remark, but rather than get upset with her like most superiors would've at such disrespect, he let out a small sigh, “No Lieutenant, I didn't fail, I chose to leave the order on my own merits.” Looking down to the ground where they were walking before looking back at the Temple they were heading too. He glanced over with a small smile when she asked for a tour, knowing that she didn't mean her comment how it sounded and once more it was back to the questions, “Well I do know how to command it...well not in the ways most Jedi do, you ever wondered how I got through all my ranks so fast in my early career? It's because I could use the force, it's how I became somewhat legendary amongst the lower ranks. During battles in the war against Exar Kun and the Sith, I could enhance my physical abilities, run faster and longer, jump higher, see farther, endure more, all that stuff, plus with such a tactile mind, the higher ups knew they had to give me more commanding roles, I was an asset on the battlefield.” He responded back to her, hoping he gave enough details into how he could use the force and why he was where he was now. It surprised him however when two Jedi approached him, he wasn't expecting this, it was just simple paperwork that a grunt could have run down to do, it didn't seem like two Jedi were needed for something so simplistic and unworthy of their time. “Yes, I'm Leon...wait, you've been expecting me?” He asked with a puzzled look on his face then, he hadn't even told them that he was going to be arriving, so how could they have been expecting him? He listened to the two banter with one another before they returned their attention to him, explaining little about the situation at hand, what information did they have that was so important to the Republic. He was about to ask them what it was before Anna beat him to the punch, though when Serra responded with sarcasm, it seemed that based on her vagueness it seemed like they didn't know either, however the thing that was strange to him was if this information was so important to the Republic, surely they could have contacted his superiors via HoloNet and tell them that way, so what did this have to do with him? He didn't question them as they began to lead them to the Jedi Council, returning his glance when Anna whispered to him and then responded back with a whisper of his own, “I have no clue what's going on, guess we'll just have to find out when we get there.”
