Welcome to Gaia! ::

"As in Sir Gunther's sister?" Iria gasped in alarm. "Then, we must act at once!" For the sake of Sir Gunther, and his sister Lady Freya, I must do my best. Mother, please be with me...

Hiko noted the ignition of the sabers, their crimson glow illuminating the chain connecting them.
"Leave it to the Sith to further complicate the Lightsaber." He sighed as he pointed the tip of his sword straight at the eyeslits of Ferno's Mask.
"Exar Kun, Lumnyia, even Krayt's pet Nagai, all muddle the elegant simplicity of its design."
His observation finished, his eyes narrowed in focus and he slid his sword into his sheath.
For a moment, he stood there, his right hand upon the grip of his sheathes sword.
The next, he was hurtling towards Ferno, striking from the sheath and slashing at Ferno's chest with surprising speed and strength.

The attack had lost its surprize. Ferno had seen the pose so many times before the attack was bound to miss. The spectre rolled around the attack, where Hiko sliced air, Ferno had finally drawn him close enough to snare his prey. From behind, the dark lord was able to draw two arms out, and shot the armored claws towards Hiko's mass, using the other two to push forward to keep chase should Hiko run.

Hiko Expected Ferno to roll out of the way. Only a fool would think his opponent wouldnt adapt. What he didn't expect was the claws shooting from the Sith's back.
But where experience fails, Instinct takes over.
Nimbly spinning about face, Hiko whipped his sword around in a powerful, slashing Arc to Hammer the armored claws back.
Hiko's foot caught a firm hold upon the nearest Stalagmite and he kicked off of it, propelling himself backwards from Ferno, giving ground to the Sith.

((Oh damn it! I spit upon your kung-fu!))
The Woman steeled herself for the blow and took the hit to her stomach, grunting painfully as it landed.
Like a raptor's snatching claw, she snapped her hand out to grab the Jedi's boot.
He woulding be able to escape this time.
She focused her hatred to make him suffer and sent a jolt of electricity into the Jedi's leg.

It was a typical night for Tendrik, the scruffy and short tempered man was stuck on guard duty again. He hated doing guard duty for Graka, it was always so boring. Nobody was foolish enough try to attack the crime lords palace the place was a well defended fortress. He was told to be extra vigilant because there were reports that Iust was in the area, he didn't believe them though. If he were hunted by Graka Tendrik would be hiding on some backwater world by know. Not this close to danger, only a damn fool would stay on Ord Mantell. Not that he cared one way or the other, let the fool stay on Ord Mantell it was his funeral.

The man sighed, at least his shift would change in an hour, then he could go out drinking with some friends and get some sleep before tomorrow’s shift. Tendrik was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice the shadow silently moving closer to him. A black gloved hand wrapped itself around the guard’s mouth and the next thing the guard felt was cold steel moving across his bare neck.

Iust stashed the guard's body in the shadows cast by the corner of the wall. He had finished securing the outer perimeter of Graka's palace. He was surprised at how easy he was able to kill the guards. Graka needs to hire better guards Iust thought to himself as he opened the back entrance to the Palace using the security key he had stolen from one of the dead guards. The real hunt was about to begin.

Forced back by the Jedi's push, Kar'en released his leg and slid back.
Snapping her lightsaber up, she gave a dark chuckle at seeing the Jedi's reduced mobility.
"You cant use your leg now, can you?" She said. "You can't run, you can't dodge, You are crippled."
She twirled her blade casually as she began to walk around the Jedi's flank. "I was going to have you beg for mercy, Jedi. But the idea of you drawing breath has started to irritate me. I think I will just kill you here and now."
