    Re: A Gathering of Ebony Souls


    *Taking cover behind the corner of a building, Snack thought his next plan through. The droids fire was unstopping, as he saw red laser blasts fly through the air just missing the corner of the building he took shelter. The blaster bolts which did connect with the side of the building spewd stone and concrete with each impact. Doing my job for me, good enough.

    Snack smirked as he heard the metalic clang of the droids, walking towards where Snack wait in lay. He sensed that there were far too many droids to take on by himself. Quickly, Snack unhinged his dual-blade, still ignited. A double bladed lightsaber, a great defensive weapon when fighting two or more people with lightsabers, wasn't all that great for blocking blaster fire. Closing his eyes, he could see the driods fire at the building, in hopes that the bolts would go through and it their target on the other side. Letting the Force take over, Snack edged to the corner. He then sent out both of his blades, controlling them through the Force. The droids see this and starting firing at the two ghost blades. Deflecting some bolts back, they connected with thier sender, or even a passer byer running in fear. The thud of falling droids filled Snack's head more than the siren. He knew he made a dent in the protective line of defense which was still in hot persuit after him, but he was still outnumbered.

    Calling back his two sabers, he caught them, then turned high-tailed down the street. Running without aid of the Force, Snack rounded another corner. This lead him into the center of the city. Dammit, this won't do me any good, running from them. If I could just get an opening, I could summon the winds... Snack thought to himself as he saw droids in front walking towards him, as well as from behind him.*

    :: Phantom stops in his tracks, he closes his eyes and uses the force to talk to all the other apprentices ::

    We need to work together to get this done in time. We each will take 1/4 of the island and destroy it.

    :: Phantom lands on the roof top acrossed from the weapons depot, he gets on his stomach and crawls to the edge to check it out ::


    Ok I'm at the weapons depot on the southern end

    Re: A Gathering of Ebony Souls


    Phantom spied the weapons depot before him. There appeared to be a single phasic shield around the entire facility as a continuous line of various type droids, marched in a single file line, coming out of the armory and entering the streets forming patrols. The shield appeared to let them pass from the inside out, making the depot look almost impenetrateable. Besides the shield, there were huge droids standing at each corner with personal shields and monstrous blaster rifles, and a turret on the top of the building. This would not be an easy target.

    Inside the vents of the main power facility, small flying droids buzzed around, in search of possible intruders. One droid sighted Hob and immediately transmitted location information to the main security office, as per protocol, before it proceeded to move closer, activating its stun blasts, not wanting to damage the ventilation system with standard blaster type rounds.

    A transmission came into the cities stockade. The assaulters of the city had been spotted using lightsabers and it was feared they were Force users. Immediately the tending guard ordered that their prisoner’s detention cell, have the force fields activated as he placed a communication to the local research facility and requested that a live Ysamlamari be brought down at once.

    The droids approaching Snack didn’t open fire, apparently bright enough not to end up being set up to fire on themselves. The platoon making the approach from the rear stopped, while those coming from the front continued, their blasters humming just loud enough it could be heard over the sounding alarms.

    The city streets were now completely devoid of any human life. All that could be seen as far as one could see were scores of armed droids patrolling and surveying the scene.

    Ogre continued to work his way to the center of town while inhabiting the Ethereal plane, his anchor back to the prime material plane, still lying in the grass back where he had first met his disciples, a small wooden twig, which looked no different than any of the other scattered greenery, except for the fact that it came from Ogre’s pouch, instead of this planet’s natural fauna.

    :: Pressing her one hand against the steel door, Hera prepared to slice thru the far edge to trigger the open/shut mechanism with her lightsaber, when she felt a jolt of power screen completely across it.

    The force of the feilds energy threw her backwards and she landed heavily against the far wall.

    She cussed loudly, and jumped up high, smashing the security lens in the top corner to smithereens with her fist angrily. Thinking what spurred the increased precautions would probably be the violence unleashed upon the city by the other apprentices. As far as the locals were concerned, she was a scum criminal, no larger threat. And just as she thought of the apprentices, a faint tugging at her mind came through from Phantom. Hera sent one word loud, clear. "West"

    Deciding that the time for a lower profile was over with, Hera began to focus her powers upward toward the hole where she had destroyed the security-eye. The metal began to buckle and slowly start to tear away, when suddenly all action stopped. Her power seemed to not only be ineffectual, but not even there. It was like she was bound and tied from the inside out.

    The reason could only mean one thing. She had never been exposed to such a creature before, but she recognised the inhibiting effects from it. ""Ysamlamari"

    Hera flew into an absoulte rage. She screached and yelled and threw the cot around the room. She took her lightsaber and continued attacking the metal above her with it, causing a gaping hole to be formed. She stretched her arm up and grabbed hold of some wires that snaked through it. Pulling down hard, she had no idea what damage it would cause, and didnt care.

    She pulled herself with effort, up and into the small tunnel and crawled along it to a service screen. Pulling it open quietly she looked into a darkened hallway (apparently she had yanked the light wiring out). As her eyes adjusted she could see people were running about as if under seige. The alarm was sounding and armed men/droids were everywhere-all exiting armed from a room at the end of the hall.

    Hera waited, then slipped noislessly out into the dark corridor.. ::

    they both enter a small corridor that seemed to be dark and quite ery, Maj looked at Darth with a look of fear, as the droids filled the corridor all around them were droides..but luckerly they were hideing the lower airduck on the floor,Maj tilted his head and pressed his head up agaist the grate of the duct...he sees a woman..Raged as it may seem, crawl out from a shaft....Maj looked at the grate then looked a darth, "damn its titanuim molded on....were not getting out this way" he looks back the where the woman is and looked at her looking arund for a safe way to escape without beaing seen, "PSST" came a noice from the grate at the floor** the woman looks down to the genaral direction, looks around then runs to kneel where the grate is* "hey....can you get up outta here ma'am? "Maj reconized the face "HARA?"...aww nevermind can you get up outta this duct?".....the woman looks around thinking about it.....

    The droid abruptly crashed into the duct's side wall, throwing its shots off. Suddenly, it was crushed by an invisible hand that smashed it utterly to pieces. Hob had known he would be found. It was only a matter of how quickly that took place.

    Fortunately, he had had enough time to halfway recover from his strenuous usage of the Force earlier, and telekinesis was the best mastered of his powers.

    The dwarf got to his feet and drew upon the chaos the others had created in the city. The chaos came with a message from the one called Phantom. Hob continued to imbibe the chaos and sent back a return message that consisted of Hob pointing towards the island's Eastern end.

    The Darkness buoyed and sustained him, allowing him to continue on as though he had only been under mild strain. Hob's path took him through the vents as deep as he could go, crushing the occasional buzzing droid and staying hidden and staying one step ahead of the armored security drones that had been released into the vents.

    Then Hob settled down, sensing his objective not far away.

    The power plant's security chief was a strong-willed man. Too strong for Hob to take over.

    But his subordinates were not all quite as strong.

    ######

    Security Chief Wesson suddenly tripped.

    This was not usual, especially not inside the central security area of the power plant. One of his aides went to help him, glancing curiously about. He went down to the ground as well, as though shoved.

    Several blaster bolts suddenly shot out from the doorway. The two officers on the floor suddenly went still, and a third one went down.

    Security central suddenly turned to stare at the guards by the doorway. "There was some little thing there!" he shouted.

    "I see it!" one of the technicians shouted, pointing.

    The guards by the door way spun around, firing where technician's finger pointed.

    Indeed there was, although it was only seen for a moment before it scuttled behind a control bank. Unfortunately, several techinicians went down from stray blaster bolts.

    The security officers continued their hunt for the elusive thing inside the room, never quite aware that it was only Hob's influence on their minds that made them see what was not there and shoot before aiming.

    Edit: Making a few things more clear. Here's what I added.

    "throwing its' shots off. Suddenly,"
    "staying hidden and staying one step ahead of the armored security drones that had been released into the vents."

    :: He checks out the guards and the depots defences. He opens up his cloak and pulls out a small data map. He glances at it and smiles. He places the map back inside his cloak. He jumps off the building and begins to levatate, he floats back to his ship and gets a basketball sixed object. he floats back to the building he was on before, he sets the object down and sets the timer.

    Phantom jumps from building to building until hes a click away. He walks down the barron streets slowly, he goes from house to house killing everyone in side. Several minutes later the EMP bomb goes off, killing all electronics with in a square mile, including the shiled and droids. Phantom begins running back to the depot ::

    :: Hera moved down the corridor. Shouts drifted to her but they seemed to be far enough away...Hera thought to herself.."this is too easy"

    She moved like a shadow into the armory room. The shelves had been left almost bereft of guns by the guards as they rearmed for the assult they were not ever certain where it was coming from. But it was not guns Hera required.

    She moved quickly to the end of the room and, opened her napsak (she had been allowd to keep it as it only contained water and food bars) she quickly raided the thermal detonator storage.

    She selected 3 Merr-Sonn Munitions Class-A Thermal Detonators - which have a 20 meter blast radius-2 she put in the napsak, one she set aside. 3 Merr-Sonn C-22 Fragmentation Grenade:
    (This grenade's explosion fills a ten-meter-diameter with lethal shrapnel. Also has a timing device that can be set up to 2 minutes.)

    and 2 Merr-Sonn Glop Grenades:
    Glop Grenades use high pressure jets to spray an extremely strong adhesive foam over a ten-meter-diameter area, trapping anyone found in that area. The glop grenade can be set to explode on contact, or the timer may be used to select up to a fifteen-second delay. The grenade itself is reusable
    . All these went into the napsak.

    She set the one Thermal detonator timer to 1 minute placing it in among the other stored bombs and proceeded to leave the room, grabing a BlasTech E-11 Blaster Rifle that lay overlooked under a table.

    Just as she was leaving, a fresh detchment of soldiers were heading for the armory..."yep, like I thought - too easy"

    Hera thrust out her hand to throw the fools back by the power of the force, but nothing happened...again. They had with them that abominable creature and were getting close. She was tired of this delay.

    Slinging her napsak over her back , igniting her saber and blasting with the rifle she charged. Instantly the men pulled their weapons up to shoot but Hera had the advantage of surprise. She mowed down 3 of them before they even could see her properly. Deflecting the blasts of their attack she continued to move forward...the seconds were ticking by...She had been hit in her upper shoulder but the adreneline of battle she did not think it was so bad.
    She cut around a corner and it opened up into a large area filled with soldiers. Hera realised it was where she came in. Ducking behind a pillar she retreived a Shrapnel grenade and tossed it into the middle of the room. The blast eruppted and expelled its contents in bloody violence, as she shot the blaster behind to keep the pursuers at bay.

    In the confusion of the shrapnel bombing, with agility and speed, Hera seized the opportunity and made good her escape out the door, just as the Thermal Detonator in the armory went off and the whole building went up in a massive flaming blast.

    ********


    Scuttling along the rooftops, of the city buildings , aided by her force strength that finally had been returned, Hera headed west toward the Bay. Probing as she went with her mind, trying to locate the other apprentices positions. She felt blood warm and sticky on her arm and realised she needed to stop somewhere and tend the wound. She pressed on.

    :: As Phantom nears the Depot he manipulates the weather into bringing more fog in, as the fog engulfs everything making it nearly impossible to see, Phantom uses the force to guide him. He Enters the Depot quietly, he enters a small room off to his right, he opens the door and three laser bolts ring out from behind a turned over desk. Phantom blocks the three shots, he walks over to the desk and cuts it down the center

    As Phantom leaves the room he can hear the mans head hit the floor. Phantom looks down the hall and sees more human guards, he reaches into his cloak and throws two flash grenades, blinding the guards, Phantom makes his move, separating their upper and lower halves of their body.

    Phantom makes his way to the explosives room, he takes several thermal detonators, he rigs the rest of the room to explode. He takes off toward the weapons room ::

    Turning on his Heat sencer goggles he sees phantom, running out of the depots room.

    "what in the hell is her doing here for?"

    Jash desices to look in the room he left from, 3,2,1 the force from the explosion hit jash through a pain of glass falling hard onto a steel floor, Jash lifts himself from the rubble injured and decides to chase the phantom, running out of the smoke filled room...

    Running down the corridor he lost track of the phantoms body heat because of the flames, if he took the goggles of he coudent see through the smoke, if he took the helmet off for more visibilty he couldent breath due to Jash beaing a non-Oxigen breather, if he turned on his night vision it was to bright, the thermal heat from the fire blinded his view, then he saw a shimmer and he knew it was a person from the themal..he descides to take chase..

    "Got ya" he said raceing down the hall...

    Re: A Gathering of Ebony Souls


    As the fog increased as a result of Phantoms efforts, Hera approached the outskirts of the city limits. It is dark and the streets are quiet.

    She came upon a deserted factory building and sliped into its dark interior. Finding a small alcove in an upper level, surrounded by old equipment and crates, she found a small hidden place and sat.

    Examining her arm, which she had stopped to cauterize earlier to stop the bleeding, "what a botchjob" she said unemotionally. Her arm was filled with a sharp aching pain and Hera drew on that pain to feed her inner self. She took out some water from her pack and drank deeply. She had much yet to do to accomplish her plan and her strength was needed. What she intended required her to reach deep into the darkside, harness is violence and project it to her will.
    Deciding she would contact the other Apprentices once she had completed this next vital step, Hera sank back against the cold hard brick wall of the factory.

    She slowed her breathing to an imperceptible level. Her eyes faded from their brilliant blue to a deep coal grey and they had no light in them.
    Her mind she enveloped in images of hatred, agression, anger. She saw Jedi that she had crossed in the past, she saw their nobleness, their purity, their peace, and despised them. She saw the nations that had succombed to their dogma. She saw the bowing to the light of the masses and the anger swelled in her. She remembered agony and pain inflicted on her in battle of the light-wielders. She tapped into every rememberence and hatred of the Jedi and their allies. She harnessed the fear that was smothering the town like a blanket from the attacks of the sith so far. She locked onto their urges to bring violence and retribution on those that set their city alight. Shethought of the teachings of her Master-his rage and power and the wounds of fights she had had in the past. And Heras power increased. The dark force a raging torrent inside her body.

    And still she stayed, still she grew in power.

    *Snack stood there, watching the incoming droids infront of him. He heard their blasters charging and knew they would be firing upon him soon. The ones from his back had stopped, not charging their weapons; not advancing.

    The Sith turned himself so he could watch both groups of driods at the same time. Slowly he took a few steps towards the "inactive" droids. He wasn't sure what to do, but hopefully these droids would fire upon him soon. he had a plan.*

    His Ethereal presence navigates through the city. There are now several buildings burning and several others destroyed. The town’s security forces are taxed to the limit spread all over the town trying to deal with the individual threats to their solace and peace. They had not been prepared for such an indirect and non-conglomerated set of attacks.

    The terror in the air filled Ogre’s soul with more and more power, as he fed off the fear and agony of those who were slain and dying, or just in fear of what might be coming for them next. Broadcasts swept through the town, informing people to arm themselves and not leave their homes.

    The droids stalking Snack did just as he hoped they would and opened fire, while throughout the rest of the city, the other apprentices met and defeated their obstacles.

    Inside the power plant's main security room, death and choas ruled. Now, only seven people remained in the room, five of whom were convinced that something was in there with them.

    "Call in reinforcements!" one of the guards shouted.

    Two of the remaining guards got on their commlinks and put in calls, one to the power plant security and one to the local police.

    A living security tech also put in a request for combat droid backup.

    ######

    Inside the vent, Hob was busy projecting his illusions into the security room when he felt a twinge in the Force. The whispering mental shadow that had been Hob's tool scuttled behind a computer bank and paused.

    Abruptly, Hob was attacked from behind. The dwarf barely had time to ready himself. He opened his eyes and caught sight of his attacker- an armored combat drone from the power plant's security.

    The drone fired twice and shot Hob through the shoulder. Regaining hold of his senses, Hob used a bit of telekinesis to disorient the drone.

    Unfortunately, his stamina was at a low ebb, he was wounded, and Hob's energy was spent. He could not draw on much help from the Force.

    And the machine's stamina would not decrease as Hob's had.

    The drone fired again, this time catching Hob in his right arm, which he'd hastily raised in defense of himself.

    *The droids played into Snack's game. Still with his oranges sabers fully extended, The droids fired upon him; first the ones from the front, then the ones he was heading towards.

    As the laser fire began, the blaster bolts were reflected back in any and all directions. Snack wasn't worried about mowing down the droids, for their fire could be used to against the city. The reflected bolts ricochetted off the builds and droids, blowing stone and metallic chunks on the ground. This, however, did not stop the onslaught of the droids. Their attacks became more fierce. Snack could not dodge and block all of the bolts, as two shot into his legs, one across his back, and one graqzing his left shoulder.

    A voice came to Snack's head, Quit playing around, or you'll be dead, as the pain shot through his body. In a split second he dropped to his knees. He could feel the bruning sensation where he was shot: not a good feeling. If you hesitate, you're done for, the voice said. Concentrating on the Force, Snack leaped into the sky, landing on one fo the near by roofs of a building. He now lay on his back, enraged at letting them shoot him. The pain and hatred filled him, allowing Snack to dive deeping into the darkness. He saw red blaster bolts race through the sky as his eyes looked in the four directions. North South East West.*

    Hob lowered his injured arm. As it dropped, thick, red blood began to drop from it onto the vent floor.

    The drone charged Hob, firing. The dwarf leapt up and clung to the ceiling with all his limbs, but his right arm couldn't maintain its' hold and he lurched downward. Another shot hit Hob in the side as a result, and the dwarf tumbled to the vent's floor.

    Hob focused on the droid, hating it, loathing it, despising its' wretched existence. He would destroy it, tear it apart.

    ######

    Inside the security room, the whispering mental shadow suddenly took shape. One of the guards inside the room stumbled onto it at that moment and he was shocked.

    "It's a droid!" he shouted. "One of the security droids!"

    ######

    The raging dwarf got to his feet inside the vent. The droid shot at him again, lethal blaster bolts arcing out at Hob, but Hob was already diving beneath them. His next leap sent him flying through the vent faster than the droid could re-aim, and he plowed into the machine, sending it flying.

    ######

    "Look out!" the security guard shouted.

    The image of the droid had filled out and became more detailed, more dangerous. Upon being spotted, it had fired several shots, which the guard had managed to dodge. Now it was flying backwards and up into the air.

    ######

    The droid caught itself in mid-flight. Its targeting scope got a lock on Hob and it fired.

    Two shots were fired, and both hit Hob in the chest. Pain seared his senses, and he dropped to the ground.

    ######

    The guard fired three shots, which seemed to hit the droid but obviously didn't, because it also fired three shots and killed one of the remaining techs.

    The droid then spun around and targeted the guard. Red death emerged from the defensive blaster cannons and waves of pain flooded through the security guard's chest.

    "Shut down the security droids!" he screamed, then collapsed in a quivering heap. Around him, other people in the room also clutched their chests and fell to the ground.

    A tech who had been cowering behind a computer bank in utter terror heard the scream. Slowly, and with a purpose he had not previously possessed, he stood up. The pain in his chest he ignored, his attention solely focussed on keying in the option for security droid shutdown at the main terminal.

    ######

    Inside the vent, the droid charged Hob in order to get a better firing angle. Hob reached up and wedged his fingers inside the vent's roof. With a last gasp of strength, he ripped the vent roof down, tearing it from the vent casing and causing it to slam into the security droid. It was hit with great force and it spun wildly.

    Then, it abruptly shut itself down and hit the vent floor.

    Hob lay resting in the vent, his chest rising and falling shakily and his beard matted with blood.

    Then a victorious rage filled him and he stood using all four limbs. His amble became a limp as he crawled over to the droid, then he slammed his good fist into the machine. A dent appeared in its' outer shell, and was joined by more dents as the droid was hammered over and over.

    A single thought burned through Hob's mind.

    ' DESTROY.'

    ######

    ' DESTROY.'

    The tech's face went slack and he picked up the gun from the fallen guard. Turning, he went around and shot each of the people in the room. They all had to be destroyed.

    The tech then lifted his arms and began firing wildly throughout the room. Banks and panels showered sparks as their protective casings were burned through.

    ######

    The main terminal detected the damage and sealed off the facility. Aside from the plant staff, several squads of police and support droids were trapped within the building.

    ######

    Hob and the sole living security technician both lay down on the floor in their respective areas and shut their eyes. Hob sent his body into a restful trance and submerged his spirit into the death and turmoil surrounding the power plant.

    The tech just lay there. His mind was gone, and he was no longer himself.
