Xid felt his breath shallow when they arrived at the entrance. His head turned to see Sela deflecting blaster shots and countering the Sith apprentice’s assaults. Each movement held its own lethal grace, not a single careless movement, leaving a slight envy for her skill within him. He knew he could never match her ability.

When he spotted one of the troopers gesture him forward, he moved to the front. 

“Can you slice this?” Someone asked as he jerked his blaster end toward the console. The outside was scorched from one of the Imperial weapons and now refused to let them in. From a simple touch, Xid could he needed to remove the cover.  

“Yeah, that’s easy. Can you hold him for me?” He passed the small protesting droid to one of the soldiers. 

He pulled out a torch and flipped it on. The end came alive with a spark, the flame glowing hot from the powercell and fuel. Carefully he guided it around the border. The metal ended up burn then melted a hole through the cover.

Dominik did not once slow as the Sith aggressively challenged him. The man used a Force Push, and pushed hard, to create distance between he and one of the apprentices. He easily was pushed back, but the second apprentice managed to position herself behind the master. The woman lashed out with her lightsaber. The blade aimed to slice through him at the middle from his back. Dominik whipped around quickly as he sensed the other apprentice charging him. Master Rothul turned, meeting the the female Sith face to face as he blocked the downward strike. The man smirked at the female as he parried her attack, holding her there for a second before he kicked hard at her abdomen, attempting to give himself space as the Sith lord came in to play.

Leaving his apprentices to distract the Jedi, the Lord’s free hand straightened out. A large chunk of scrap metal shook and pulled from the ground. His eyes smirked in excitement before sending it slicing through the air at the Master. Both apprentices immediately jumped back to avoid being caught in the attack at the last moment. 

Dominik noticed as the apprentices jumped back, shortly after he sensed the chunk of metal and turned to see it coming at him with incredible speed. Dominik quickly withdrew his saber, keeping the hilt in his left hand, and held both hands out, pushing back towards the metal and challenging the Sith lord as they both pushed against each other. 

The Lord strained with the contest. His hand tended fully out and shove more power behind his force shove. 

Dominik's focus shifted suddenly as the male apprentice charged him. The Jedi shifted his stance and took hold of the suspended metal, turning hard and thrusting it towards the apprentice that charged him. The movement was quick and precise, leaving no time for the apprentice to react as the object slammed into his body, landing on the ground and sliding to a stop, the dark sider's lifeless body pinned underneath it.

After the metal was cut, Xid placed on gloves and pulled it apart. The metal screamed as it bent to his will. Inside he could see the circuit that had fried from the blaster’s impact. Carefully, he shoved his through the hole and fished around for the wires. A few tugs brought the ends to the outside. He began to reconnect the ends to the others, looping the energy back through the button. His hand smacked the now operation button caused the metal doors to rattle open. 

He paused long enough to shout to Sela and Dominik, “The doors are open! Quickly get inside!” 

As he did so, one of the Imperial troopers aimed and fired toward his unprotected form.
