Gloopra's Lightsaber had spun true, had the Padawan not intervened, he would have been successful in his defense, sending the bolt harmlessly into one of the nearby durasteel crates. As Lahana swung her blade and intercepted he felt a flash of anger, one he hadn't felt in a long time. Something deep down inside of him ordered him to kill her. But that part of his psyche, long since restrained, was now drowned out by the sight of the young Twi-Lek's life being snuffed out. He reached forwards in an attempt to catch the bolt with the Force, but he had yet to perfect his usage of the power and was otherwise helpless to watch. As the man let out a quip, he felt that part of his mind grow loud again, trying to shout over the other voices, as his free hand began to crackle with blue energy. He quickly forced it down, he had not given in before, he was not going to give into the dark side now. But this lapse in his judgement had now allowed the Padawan to attack "PADAWAN, STAND DOWN!!!" He roared at her, but it was too late as she dropped to the ground, surging with electrical energies. He quickly pulled his double-Lightsaber to his hand and ignited both ends, still holding the Green Lightsaber in his other hand. "Have it your way." he grunted as he prepared to strike, he then got the twinge of danger in his mind a gain.

His hearing was suddenly blocked out as the explosions shattered the relative quiet. Rooftop rained down, he retracted the Lightsaber blades as he threw his right hand up and held parts of the roof that were about to collapse on him, whilst his left hand swooped around and pulled several of the nearby allies into the bubble of telekinesis that was holding up the ceiling. Naturally, with the roof above him, he hadn't managed to see the ship. He held the falling roof sections above him before slowly levitating them to the side and placing them down. He let out a sigh of exhaustion, then turned around to Jayce. "Call for a medical team and see if anything can be done for her. Then start rounding up any survivors for questioning. I want to know who the hell that was." he pointed to Neb. He then walked over to the unconscious Lahana. He knelt down and pressed a hand to her chest, seeing if he could use the Force to bring her back to consciousness. As she roused, his was the first face she would see. "Disobeying a direct order, interfering in a Master's duty, negligence leading to loss of life, insubordination leading to the escape of a dangerous criminal." He slowly said to her. "I will be reporting this to your master." His face and voice calm. She would detect little to no anger in his voice. The only obvious emotion was an immense sense of disappointment surrounding him. This was a front for the immense anger that he was desperately pressing deep down. He got up and began to look around for the rest of the survivors. She would see the unignited Blue Lightsaber streak across the room and into his hand, before he reattached it to his belt.

He needed to Meditate.

Vrerr listened to Match as he talked "Slave rings..." She had read the reports, she knew Slavery was rampant in the Outer Rim, but she still hated to hear that it still existed. "We have our first targets then. Drugs can go on the back burner for now, Slavery makes far more money and suffering. I hate to-" At that point, the [url=https://youtu.be/AfuQd_xZlKw]alarms[/url] around the base went off. "Already?" she asked. She had expected a counter-attack on behalf of the local crime-lords, but nothing so soon. "Someone must have tipped them off to our location." She grunted. There was no way that they could have found them and orginized this raid so quickly unless they had a mole inside. "We will play the blame game later, in the meantime, my shuttle should still be out back." She said, then pulled out her comm-link. "Gloopra, we're under attack, I could really use your help if you are finished." She said into it.

Gloopra was just inspecting the bodies of one of the men he had slapped binders onto earlier, but had been crushed under the falling ceiling, when the comm-link began to talk. [i]"Gloopra, we're under attack, I could really use your help if you are finished."[/i] He grabbed the comm-link from his belt.

"Under attack, how?"

[i]"Don't know, but we could use some help-"[/i] At that point, the crackled voice of a tannoy was heard in Vrerr's background [b][i]"Bogeys have entered the base, section 6 breached."[/i][/b] [i]"Sith's blood..."[/i] She cursed [i]"Look, just get back here, I'm with Knight Sato and Master... You know, I don't think I caught your name..."[/i] She looked at Lahana's master [i]"But your help is appreciated."[/i]

"On my way." He replied, before pressing a few buttons on the Comm-Link and tuning it to his fighters astromech "R7, get down here, I need the ship." There was a [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qb3-RqVzVI]Chirping sound in response.[/url] "Well hurry." He grunted. High in the atmosphere, the stealthy black fighter had just made a nose-dive and was now homing in on Gloopra's location. Gloopra ran over to Jayce "Round up everyone quickly, the base is under attack." He said.
