| - Ardak: The Wilds - Eastern Lake Shore The eastern lake shore is the area of the wilds that connects the central isles to the residential parts of Ardak. This area is slightly swampy, with blades of tall grass coming up through the green tinted water. There are paths built to move towards the north and south residential areas, allowing people to walk there without getting wet.Several wild animal sounds can be heard coming from within the grass, but, unless one looks for animals, none can be seen. (IG-86) The vast fields of grass by the lake have been trampled. Treads and footprints of giant machines have been neatly planted in the ground and stand at a ready distance. Every force here seems to react in a friendly, curtly manner to both Draven and Nightfall, before fully locking down the bridge. Other men and machine seem to kindly block the paths around the lake as well, as IG-86 stands at the midst of it all, static in his position, and armed. "Good evening, Draven." The assassin droid says in a harsh, cold tone. A pair of sensors rotate to look at Nightfall, "Madame'." (Draven) Draven stides into the area, his eyes locked onto the droid as he approaches. The young Dominus looks around as various figures move in to block his path. He simply smiles. Draven reaches behind his back, unslinging his favorite rifle, eyes still on the droid "So.. this is how you wish to negotiate?" he asks, amused. COMBAT: Draven wields his Masterwork SoroSuub HK3/a Rifle. (Nightfall) Walking along with Draven, a black robed figure moves as well, seeming to slip out of the shadows. Stopping a bit off from where the man stands, the figure folds its arms and waits patiently. (Caton) An enormous titan of durasteel hull stands dead center before them with large gun cannons swiveling and adjusting. Its tall solid legs are bent slightly, in a powerful defensive position. The titan is silent, though the young pilot in the cockpit snarls furiously through the slitted viewport. (IG-86) A pair of IG-86's sensors zoom in on Draven's weapon. "You are correct to assume that this is indeed a hostile negotiation. As there is a zero percentage chance that you will survive this encounter, I will indulge you." A pause, as the droid rotates the set of sensors on Nightfall to the Dominator. Mechanically stiff, the assassin droid points to itself with the barrel of the BVR, "I have joined my esteemed competitor in a contract for your life." Ig-86 lowers the weapon and points it at Draven, "I will delay my companion no further, negotiations are over, Domina Draven." The trigger is pulled and so the first shots are fired! COMBAT: IG-86 tries to stun Draven with his BVR-5X Handblaster! COMBAT: Draven dodges and IG-86's stun beam misses. (Nightfall) As the Droid opens fire on Draven, the hood of the robed figure falls back, revealing a deathly white colored figure who speaks in a melodic tone that sounds like hot rocks being dropped into iced water. "Mistakes by you to underestimate your actions." Her hand lifts and moves slowly, voice sounding hypnotic. "You will either cease or you will die... slowly, painfully." (Draven) Draven is watching the droids movements even as it raises to fire, the stun shot roars toward DRaven and he calmly sidesteps. "You stand a great chance of fleeing now. Not doing so will be your own folly." Draven raises his rifle and instantly fires, a beam ripping toward the droid quite quickly. COMBAT: Draven fires his Masterwork SoroSuub HK3/a Rifle at IG-86! COMBAT: IG-86 raises his BVR-5X Handblaster to fire, but Draven's lethally accurate blaster bolt hits and mauls him.. (IG-86) IG-86 is quick to try and fire at the offending weapon, only to be out drawn by Draven. Sparks whiz as the shot hits home and the droid hisses static. "Surrender, organics. Your death is inevitable!" A leap, and the droid is on top of the Shawty One, slipping into the hull and controls in one smooth movement. IG-86 boards Shawty One. (Caton) The AT-OT takes two wide steps forward on its front legs, each impact crunching loudly into the ground and flattening the grass beneath it. The one eyed pilot from the cockpit flicks a switch and the audio system comes to life, allowing his angry shout to be heard. "You remember some of these men, Draven! You murdered their captain!" A rough, young voice is heard. "I'm going to enjoy watching! You! Die!!" He seethes. The main cannons of the ship dialate and aim towards Draven, with a sudden blast of energy. K'KOO! K'KOO! They cry, puncturing the air with a defeaning roar. COMBAT: Caton fires Dominator's Blaster Cannons at Draven! COMBAT: Draven tries to dodge, but Dominator's blaster bolt hits and grievously wounds him. (Armies) The armies gathered serve one purpose: An audience. They were familiar faces, to Draven atleast. Criminals and scoundrels from across the rim that he had double crossed or betrayed. The majority are Yellow Dog Compact members, or pirates. They have their rifles leveled: ensuring nobody goes in... or out, until somebody was dead (Nightfall) "So be it." The woman states and it steps forward towards the giant vehicles, seemingly completely unafraid. As she moves a beam of red light erupts in her hand and crossing the field, she moves at the large AT vehicles, keeping herself in range of Draven as well however. Between the vehicles and the Draven. COMBAT: You ignite your red lightsaber. (Draven) Draven can do little to avoid the incoming fire, diving sideways. He cannot help but be peppered by shrapnel from the blast, the impact to his armor leaving him bruised. As he gets to one knee he shoulders his rifle and grabs a cylinder from his irght shoulder, bringing it up defensively. A cold sneer now on his face "I'll be killing you both tonight then." he says as he awaits thier next move. COMBAT: Draven wields his Manok Husker Rocket. (Caton) "I'm going to bury you and your foolish friend!!!" Cackles the young ex-pirates voice from the AT-OT. As Nightfall steps forward he pulls three levers in the cockpit, causing the ships legs to draw together and then raise up, up, up. From his higher vantage point the barrels level again and pepper out more vengeful blaster bolts. COMBAT: Caton fires Dominator's Blaster Cannons at Draven! COMBAT: Nightfall tries to protect Draven, but not fast enough! COMBAT: Draven tries to dodge, but Dominator's blaster bolt hits and grievously wounds him. (IG-86) The large walker whines to life as the repulsorlift balancers push the vehicle to its feet. Like a live creature it begins moving immediately, stiff and slow, but with power that shakes the ground as thermal exhaust thrusts out of engine vents. The light blaster cannons swivels towards Draven as the walker's legs begin strafing sideways around Nightfall, independent of how the actual cockpit head faces. The air whines and crackles in high pitched tones as laser fire begins reigning down on Draven. COMBAT: IG-86 fires Shawty One's Light Blaster Cannons at Draven! COMBAT: Nightfall shields Draven from Shawty One's attack! COMBAT: Nightfall deflects Shawty One's blaster bolt back into Shawty One, wounding it. (Nightfall) As the walkers open up fire, Nightfall begins to deflect the heavy shots back towards the vehicles rather calmly. Then, she lifts up her hand, and swings it towards Shawty One, resuming the posture to continue protecting Draven. COMBAT: You hurl a hard chunk of wood at Shawty One! COMBAT: Shawty One cannot evade, and Nightfall's flying debris scratches it. (Draven) Draven takes another blast from the cannons again, the second being deflected by his associate. Draven stands up, a sinister smile turning to a thunderous laugh as he pulls the triggering device on his launcher, aimed at the Dominator. COMBAT: Draven fires his Manok Husker Rocket at Dominator! COMBAT: Dominator cannot evade, and Draven's lethally accurate rocket hits and shreds it. (Caton) The rocket collides with the AT-OT in a firework explosion of colours, leaving a gaping maw in the side of the cockpit. "No!!!" The pilot cries frusteratedly. "You're not going to beat me this time, Gamahon!" He vows. The AT-OT steps its giant legs forward, trying to force Nightfall into moving out of the way. At the same time the cannons relentlessly pucker down at Draven, scorching the beautiful Ardak nature. COMBAT: Caton fires Dominator's Blaster Cannons at Draven! COMBAT: Nightfall shields Draven from Dominator's attack! COMBAT: Nightfall tries to parry with her red lightsaber, but Dominator's blaster bolt hits and mauls her. (IG-86) The chunk of wood cracks and splinters at it bounces harmlessly off the hull of the walker. It continues course as laserwork continues to barrage around Draven in high pitched whines and squeals. COMBAT: IG-86 fires Shawty One's Light Blaster Cannons at Draven! COMBAT: Nightfall shields Draven from Shawty One's attack! COMBAT: Nightfall deflects Shawty One's blaster bolt back into Shawty One, wounding it. (Nightfall) As Draven begins to open fire on the vehicles, Nightfall springs into action and darts forward towards the Dominator, running past it and swinging the red lightsaber as the white creature moves about and attempts to maintain a good position between the vehicles and Draven. COMBAT: You swing your red lightsaber at Dominator! COMBAT: Dominator cannot evade, and Nightfall's red lightsaber strikes and seriously damages it. (Draven) Draven watches with a keen eye as the two ill-fated individuals continue thier assault, as Nightfall fends of the attacks Draven reloads his launcher, and coldly intones toward his associate "How much do you think an IG head will go for on hte market as a trophy?" COMBAT: Draven wields his Manok Husker Rocket. (Caton) Zzzzzshhhh! The red lightsaber cuts a chunk out of one of the AT-OT's legs, rendering it useless. It wobbles, but steadies itself by bending down low, and at the same time the cannons fire out repeatedly again, refusing to accept defeat. "This planet will be your graves!!!" The pilot screams out, a bead of sweat trickling down his hard features. COMBAT: Caton fires Dominator's Blaster Cannons at Draven! COMBAT: Nightfall shields Draven from Dominator's attack! COMBAT: Nightfall deflects Dominator's blaster bolt back into Dominator, wounding it. COMBAT: IG-86 fires Shawty One's Light Blaster Cannons at Draven! COMBAT: Nightfall shields Draven from Shawty One's attack! COMBAT: Nightfall deflects Shawty One's blaster bolt back into Shawty One, wounding it. (Nightfall) The being of white skin and dark robes continues dancing around Draven, deflecting shots back at it. Then when the timing allows as the heavy blaster cannons wait to recharge, she darts out to strike at the crippled dominator once more. Dashing forward, leaping high and swinging the blade of red energy downward towards the vessel. COMBAT: You swing your red lightsaber at Dominator! COMBAT: Dominator cannot evade, and Nightfall's red lightsaber strikes and seriously damages it. (Draven) Draven raises his launcher again, aiming on the Dominator for a second time "You can simply walk away you know, This is not very strategically sound." Draven pulls the trigger COMBAT: Draven fires his Manok Husker Rocket at Dominator! COMBAT: Dominator cannot evade, and Draven's well-aimed rocket hits and seriously damages it. (Caton) The red lightsaber carves a nice long shred into the AT-OT, revealing all of the guts and circuits of the vehicles underbelly. The rocket doesn't help either, it blows a hole in the cockpit - revealing a one eyed angry Caton Cass. As he notices the view, he salutes sharply to Nightfall and Draven, his face cold. Then he visibly pulls a lever, and the barrels twitch to either side and pepper down more blaster bolts. "Yrrrrrrrr!" The teenager cries with it, gritting his teeth. COMBAT: Caton fires Dominator's Blaster Cannons at Draven! COMBAT: Nightfall shields Draven from Dominator's attack! COMBAT: Nightfall parries Dominator's blaster bolt with her red lightsaber. (IG-86) The walker slows to a stop as it continues firing. The shots reflected back at they bounce harmlessly off the hull. The red laser shots continue to reign down on both Nightfall and Draven, stray shots burning holes in the flora of Ardak. A cold voice broadcasts itself loudly, "Surrender, organics! There is no chance you will survive!" COMBAT: IG-86 fires Shawty One's Light Blaster Cannons at Draven! COMBAT: Nightfall shields Draven from Shawty One's attack! COMBAT: Nightfall deflects Shawty One's blaster bolt back into Shawty One, wounding it. (Armies) The Gunslingers that were previously standing by idly have risen to the fight. The assorted fighters, pirates, and other gunners have raised their weapons at Draven, shouting threats and curses as they open up fire. COMBAT: Rough Gunslingers fire their Merr Sonn TM7 Repeaters at Draven! COMBAT: Nightfall shields Draven from Rough Gunslingers's attack! COMBAT: Nightfall deflects Rough Gunslingers's blaster bolt back into Rough Gunslingers, wounding them. COMBAT: Yellow Dog Scoundrels fire their Merr Sonn TM7 Repeaters at Nightfall! COMBAT: Nightfall raises her hand and deflects Yellow Dog Scoundrels's blaster bolt. (Nightfall) As the troops move forward, Nightfall continues to dance around Draven and knock shots away with her lightsaber. Turning, a flurry of blaster fire from a group flies at her, striking her hand and dissipating into nothingness. Standing straight the being speaks calmly. "Understand. At this moment you have all crossed a line. You will not know death, you will know anguish. Anguish for millenia. Any who have ever seen you will know anguish. The worlds you come from, those who created you, those who have laid eyes on you, will suffer. Suffer in ways that would make the darkest souls of the Galaxy weep. You will learn pain." Turning, she strides then, purposefully towards the Dominator with an extremely calm expression except the pure white eyes which seem to nearly glow with what could perhaps be rage. Driving the red lightsaber into the belly of the vehicle, she turns back to begin towards the other vehicle and troops. COMBAT: You swing your red lightsaber at Dominator! COMBAT: Dominator cannot evade, and Nightfall's red lightsaber strikes and massively damages it. Dominator explodes. Caton crashes to the ground. (Caton) The lightsaber strikes deep into the heart of the AT-OT and it crumples to the ground in a heavy collision, deadweight scrap. Caton is heard tearing at something inside, with a scream. He comes stumbling out of the vehicle covered in cuts and gashes from debree, but in his arms he holds one of the turrets that was used on the mechanical beast. As Nightfall is approaching the others he finds himself across from Draven. "This isn't over yet..." The teenager grumbles, as he cocks the giant blaster and the mechanical hand starts to whirr. A grin slowly creeps across Catons face, eerily resembling that of Dravens'. Wrrrrrrrrrrrr.... The carbine starts to turn, and then.. K'koo! K'koo! (Draven) Draven begins running toward Nightfall, trailing after her as she engages the walker, ripping it to shreds, s the youngster emerges and fires Draven ducks to the side, barely dodging the fire coming his way. The man swiftly jams another rocket in his launcher, silently shaking his head... A cold fury beginning to build COMBAT: Draven wields his Manok Husker Rocket. (IG-86) The walker repeats its actions, merely standing there, a barrage focused on.. Nightfall now? A distraction perhaps as the rough gunslingers continue firing on Draven. COMBAT: IG-86 fires Shawty One's Light Blaster Cannons at Nightfall! COMBAT: Nightfall deflects Shawty One's blaster bolt back into Shawty One, wounding it. COMBAT: Rough Gunslingers fire their Merr Sonn TM7 Repeaters at Draven! COMBAT: Nightfall shields Draven from Rough Gunslingers's attack!

COMBAT: Yellow Dog Scoundrels fire their Merr Sonn TM7 Repeaters at Nightfall! COMBAT: Yellow Dog Scoundrels's blaster bolt hits and lightly wounds Nightfall. (Nightfall) Nightfall pauses in her approach towards the Reanimator and stops, turning to look at the armies firing on her. Lifting her hand, she speaks in a steady voice. "I am not the target, those are." She motions back and forth between them with her hand before turning back towards the Reanimator and resuming the steady approach. The Rough Gunslingers <4 Humans> engage the Yellow Dog Scoundrels <20 Humans> in mass combat. The Rough Gunslingers open fire with Merr Sonn TM7 Repeaters ... The Yellow Dog Scoundrels return fire with Merr Sonn TM7 Repeaters ... CASUALTIES: Rough Gunslingers: unit eliminated. The remaining fighters disperse... Yellow Dog Scoundrels: 1 wounded. (Draven) Draven's icy glare swings toward the IG units vehicle, firing on it without prejudice, the man then turns and observes the army combat "A shame when they argue and get into a fight with one another.. it happens a lot." COMBAT: Draven fires his Manok Husker Rocket at Shawty One! COMBAT: Shawty One is not damaged by Draven's rocket. (Caton) Caton seethes, the vein in his forehead bulging out ridiculously as Draven gets away, and with his large blaster he can't make chase. He rips something out of his pocket and yells into it in huttese. "Capella! Nooneh! UNDLA! UNDLA!" He cries. A deep rumble is heard below, like an earthquake. Then C-C-c-Ccraaaack! A rock worm burrows out of the ground underneath of Caton, carrying him elegantly on its head. Notably, a giant shock collar is fashioned onto its large body. From atop the mandible mouth gnashing beast Caton yells into his comlink again, laughing maniacally. Caton boards Capilla. COMSYS: (all channels) A young, rough male voice says, "Now! kill them all!"

(IG-86) The walker unit crashes and sparks as laser fire hails onto it. Sparks fly and it wobbles a little bit before charging forward Nightfall, darn those Jedi!

COMBAT: Nightfall deflects Boomer One's blaster bolt back into Boomer One, wounding it. (Draven) Draven hefts his launcher to his back and draws the rifle again. The man's head goes on a swivel a truely angry scarl erupts fromhis clenched jaw "Cowards, the lot of you, and still as dead as ever.." COMBAT: Draven wields his Masterwork SoroSuub HK3/a Rifle. (Caton) The rock worm roars as Caton activates its shock collar for a short quick bolt. "Kill!" He orders, and the usually gentle beast turns its huge toothy mouth towards the two lone fighters. It scuttles on all of its legs at amazing speed. COMBAT: Caton charges Capilla at Nightfall! COMBAT: Nightfall parries with her red lightsaber and damages Capilla. (IG-86) The walker hisses out smoke and fire as the the lightsaber pushes through the hull. Still it scuttles forward, rocking back and forth as the head rotates to face Nightfall and fire.

COMBAT: Yellow Dog Scoundrels fire their Merr Sonn TM7 Repeaters at Nightfall! COMBAT: Nightfall raises her hand and deflects Yellow Dog Scoundrels's blaster bolt. (Nightfall) Nightfall turns as she gets shot at and hit rather hard, looking down at herself as the blasters strike her and sizzle flesh, the white along her army oozing something out that looks more like puss than blood. Tilting its head, the being turns back towards the armies that shot her and stares before returning attention, and the Lightsaber, back towards the Shawty. COMBAT: You swing your red lightsaber at Shawty One! COMBAT: Shawty One cannot evade, and Nightfall's red lightsaber strikes and seriously damages it. Shawty One explodes.

(Draven) Draven's cold rage continues, a blank slate having replaced his previously amused demeanor he is now fully and oh so fittingly out for death. As the second walker falls prey to Nightfalls abilities Draven rieses his rifle, sights in the now exposed IG unit and fires. COMBAT: Draven fires his Masterwork SoroSuub HK3/a Rifle at IG-86's head! COMBAT: IG-86 shoots Draven with his BVR-5X Handblaster, disrupting his attack and mildly wounds Draven. (IG-86) IG-86 hits the ground with a thud, smoke rising off of his chassis. It's only moments before a rifle is bored down onto him, and just as quickly as that lightsaber carved through the reactors of his vehicle does he leap into action. Vzzt vzzt vzzt! His pistols disrupts Draven's attack before he can even properly aim at the droid, and he's off towards reanimator, taking to the already damaged speeder. IG-86 boards Reanimator. (Caton) The rock worm growls out in pain as a lightsaber shreds it in retalliation. "My baby!" Caton cries, ironically, considering it wears a shock collar. He jumps off of the beast and it crawls away in pain, soon burrowing under again."Let's finish this." He says, looking between Nightfall and Draven with his blaster cannon. COMBAT: Itchy Insects fire their Merr Sonn T35 Long-Range Rifles at Nightfall! COMBAT: Itchy Insects's blaster bolt hits and mildly wounds Nightfall. (Nightfall) Nightfall begins to walk towards the Boomer One, looking towards Caton, the white haired beings hand lifts up and she speaks. As she does it is almost as if any light starts to fade, sucked into darkness as the blackness that is her robes seems to grow more potent. "You will learn pain little one. True pain..." Her hand reaches out towards him across the distance, and curls, turning and begins to pull as if ripping at something within Caton. COMBAT: You hurl a small wildlife animal at Caton! (Code Check for RP'd skill) COMBAT: Caton tries to dodge, but Nightfall's flying debris mildly wounds him. (Gand) From Boomer One, Gand fires again, again at the rifle-toting man! ThooM! COMBAT: Gand fires Boomer One's Aureola Long Range Cannon at Draven! COMBAT: Draven tries to dodge, but Boomer One's blaster bolt hits and seriously wounds him. (Caton) "Get outta the way before you get hur--" Caton starts to say, but he grunts out in pain and his blue eye widens in surprise. He lifts up slightly in the air, levitating, and sounds of excrutiating pain can be heard from him. "Auuughh! Make..Make it stop! Stoooop!" The teenager cries out like a boy. His turret drops to the ground, and he pulls a pistol out of his armor, aiming it wildly but not finding the strength to fire. Everything was beginning to get... dark. COMBAT: Caton puts away his BlasTech Raphael Mk.122 Cannon. COMBAT: Caton wields his BlasTech DL-50 Blaster Pistol. (Draven) Draven is impacted by the cannons of Gand's vehicle, his armor cracking around the chest segments, he will have deep bruises when this is all over. Though the assault leaves him only off center, after a moment he turns to face Caton, his rifle coming up toward the boy. Hew begins backstepping, staying with Nightfall as he fires on hte boys legs "I want you here till the end, which will be quite shortly.." COMBAT: Draven fires his Masterwork SoroSuub HK3/a Rifle at Caton's legs! COMBAT: Caton raises his BlasTech DL-50 Blaster Pistol to fire, but Draven's blaster bolt hits and moderately wounds his leg.. (IG-86) Frustrated with this vehicle, IG-86 leaps off and moves a bit towards Nightfall, pistol raised as he fires several times. A little bit of oil is draining down his chassis as he moves, but it doesn't seem to be hindering him for the moment. COMBAT: IG-86 tries to stun Nightfall with his BVR-5X Handblaster! COMBAT: IG-86's stun beam strikes Nightfall without effect. (Armies) The Scoundrels are likewise on Dravens' tail. "Yarr, ye scurvy.. .. whatever, just shoot him."

COMBAT: Gand fires Boomer One's Aureola Long Range Cannon at Draven! COMBAT: Draven dodges Boomer One's blaster bolt. (Caton) Caton floats, gasping for something as darkness falls around him - but it's not oxygen. The veins in his face begin to grow bright blue, and then black, lighting up all over his body. He doesn't even feel the blaster bolt when it hits his leg, it just scorches into him. His blue pupil drains slowly of colour, starting to become grey and hollow... like something is ripping the existance right out of him. When Nightfall removes her hand Caton resurfaces, his eye gaining a tint of blue momentarily. "No!" He gasps, and jerks his arm. Pzzew! A blaster bolt flies at Draven. COMBAT: Caton fires his BlasTech DL-50 Blaster Pistol at Draven's head! COMBAT: Draven shoots Caton with his Masterwork SoroSuub HK3/a Rifle, disrupting his attack and seriously wounds Caton. FORCE: You establish telepathic contact with Caton and transmit a calm feeling and a vision: An image of Nightfall and Draven calmly walking out across the bridge to the Central Isles. You then transmit the telepathic message: ""You will order yours to stand down, or each will suffer as you are suffering ten fold."" (Draven) Draven deftly dodges the cannonfire, his cold gaze going to the vehicle only momentarily in a 'You'll be next' sort of sentiment.' As Caton fires on him his blaster is already aimed it seems and fires preemptively "This is over boy, and I'll have your life." A second shot comes just after the first. COMBAT: Draven fires his Masterwork SoroSuub HK3/a Rifle at Caton's arms! COMBAT: Caton shoots Draven with his BlasTech DL-50 Blaster Pistol, disrupting his attack and moderately wounds Draven.

(Nightfall) Nightfall shrugs her shoulders as she is hit by blaster shots, looking down and shaking her head. "I will deal with all of you, shortly." She states towards the beings and looks back to Caton. "You have until I get to you to make the order, little one. That is all." Then she begins to walk towards him, hand lifting up towards the teen calmly. COMBAT: You try to rip Caton's BlasTech DL-50 Blaster Pistol out of his hands! COMBAT: Caton's BlasTech DL-50 Blaster Pistol rips free of his hand and flies into Nightfall's. (Gand) From Boomer One, Gand simply keeps up it's fire! Boom! Boom! (Caton) What little remains of Caton clicks the trigger of his blaster pistol repeatedly, not even aiming anymore, just providing crazy spurratic fire. "I am Caton Cass." He says, voice trembling in fear, for each blaster bolt. As Nightfall tears the blaster away he unclips a sphere from his belt. "I am Caton Cass!" He declares, angrily. COMBAT: Nightfall shields Draven from Boomer One's attack COMBAT: Nightfall deflects Boomer One's blaster bolt back into Boomer One, wounding it. COMBAT: Caton wields his Thermal Detonator.

Then all that is cold, evil, and dark in the Galaxy gathers upon this place. There is no mercy. There is no life... only death... As the blaster bolts strike Nightfall, she falls. To a knee and then begins to laugh, slowly laugh that grows louder and louder. Lighting creases across the ground... the ground that trembles and Nightfall rises.

COMBAT: Nightfall raises her hand and deflects Itchy Insects's blaster bolt. (Nightfall) As Nightfall rises there is a madness about her. Where there was control before, she now moves in ways that are not natural. Her lightsaber doesn't merely slice through the Gands, but rather it looks as if she is intentionally peeling their skin off with the weapon, with her bare hands while simply knocking blaster shots away as if they were nothing. Peeling them like they were a piece of fruit. Her Hand lifts up, it points and she laughs in a manner to break souls before turning back with her Lightsaber and moving towards the Gands again with the intents not to kill one. But to destroy its existance, setting to work with precision and dedication to make its existance as if it never was before.

(Nightfall) Nightfall finishes one of the creatures and turns, feeling a Blaster strike her foot. Her hand lifts up and eyes narrow as she points a finger at the Gand digging into its mind. "You will devour yourself now." The Gand, the one that shot at her turns to its own arm... and begins to feast upon it working its way up. The rest she waves her hand at and sends them flying into combat with the rest of the armies present. The Itchy Insects <5 Gands> engage the Yellow Dog Scoundrels <14 Humans> in mass combat.

(Nightfall) Turning, Nightfall moves towards the Yellow Dogs now, the Gands having torn each other to shreds she approaches the Humans, grinning, blood covering her pure white features, soaking her hair and dripping off her. It seems almost a fitting visage as the being of darkness moves towards them and speaks in whispers as the Red Blade of destruction swings into action again.

Certainly some land blows but she dances through the corpses, severed limbs, and entrails that the group leaves. Finally, she smiles. That smile, the smile of death... death coming. Who could oppose such? (Nightfall) With a last wave of her hand, Nightfall grins and sends the group of yellow dogs running into the lake, giggling as they go in order to drown to death. Turning, she begins to approach those scattered around, a blood lust smile on her lips. She moves, steadily towards the first body she sees. Draven. Smiling with greedy eyes, Nightfall lifts the Lightsaber high above her head and plunges it down towards the incapacitated form of Draven. Down the blade comes intending to strike deep into the man and destroy him but suddenly the blade stops. Grasped in a hand. Unearthly, blue hued hand that disappears into a robed sleeve. Like a ghost, or essence far from dark but rather the opposite. A voice echoes through the area. "You will fall..." The voice is heavenly... like an angel. "And I will stop you when you must be stopped vile creature." The hand is then gone. Nightfall blinks its eyes and deactivating the Lightsaber, leans over to pick up Draven and carry him off as if nothing had just happened.
