A green blur of twisting sabers lit up the night as Eclipse spun through the air. She became alive with the kinetic spirit of Ataru, the dazzling display attracting fire from stormtroopers who hadn't decided to flee. Landing between two, Eclipse severed their rifles in unison just in front of the trigger loops. The troopers instinctively pulled the triggers of their impotent slag-stunted weapons, giving Eclipse all the moment she needed. A roundhouse kick spun one enemy into the dirt, giving the shrouded Jedi enough of a springboard to plant and drop the heel of a meteor kick into the face of the second man.

The fire team began to withdraw - far too orderly to be considered a rout. Inaccurate covering fire sailed past Eclipse and her student as the last of the Sernpidal citizens fled from the violence. The stolen comm on Eclipse's belt began to squawk.

JN-3313 to central. Hostile Jedi contact. Deploy air strike to...

"Tëba!" Eclipse shouted, slapping away a lucky shot that got too close, "We need to leave!"

A concussion grenade was thrown from the troopers' position of cover, and landed too short of the mark to do damage. The explosion sent up a gout of chalky-white dust in it's wake, momentarily obfuscating the two Jedi behind it. When the smoke cleared, there was no sign of them.

Continuing unseen through the city streets, Eclipse and Tëba moved in shadow, even as the distant sounds of approaching TIE fighters became a howl.
