STARLIGHT Low Blow (Episode 1)

Caught of guard, Sith Lord did not expect that a Padawan could use the force against him. Suddenly the Sith Lord is being pulled back from the hall into the bridge room. He dives his lightsaber into the floor, slowing the speed of his movement down as he is being pulled, until he finally stops moving. His eyes notice that Axo is still alive and defenseless, so he decides to attack him. With the force, the Sith Lord pulls down the pipes and lights from the ceiling to fall down on Axo and turns again towards his target - Welaho. Now Lin'drala must chose how to act, what is her priority, an unknown random medic, or the founder. If she chooses to save Axo, Sith Lord will be out of her reach and one step closer to Welaho, if she chooses to protect Welaho, the objects will collapse on Axo.

The objects that collapse from the ceiling are stopped in the air. Even if Axo was not able to move or protect himself, he was aware of his surroundings. But choosing to save Axo placed Welaho in risky situation. Welaho managed to reach the elevator and started using the console. It was smart that Marinez decided to fix the elevator instead to go around, or Welaho would not have where to go now. As Lin'drala was holding the heavy objects in the air with the Force, the Sith Lord used the opportunity to force speed towards the elevator. Now only one trooper stands between Welaho and the Sith Lord. Welaho is using the console with secret password, so that elevator can take him to secret location. He calls for Marinez to join him inside: "Quick soldier! We don't have much time! I need your help." Elevator door begins to close slowly, but Sith Lord dashes even faster towards them with inhuman speed, his eyes glowing red with dark side of the force, and his red lightsaber leaving short trace behind him.

As Marinez watched the Sith lord approach them, He decided to walk in the elevator then turn around ready his assault cannon and fires without hesitation. Marinez Shouted 'Hurry! We don't have much time'

Sith Lord deflects first few bolts away with his lightsaber. Elevator door are closing slowly and there is just enough space for Sith Lord to attack. Lord Tazor managed to reach them. He rose his lightsaber to strike them down but Marinez fired again and hits Sith Lord in his chest plate, pushing him back few meters away from the elevator where the Sith Lord falls on the ground and drops his lightsaber. Lord Tazor is not moving and appears lifeless on the floor. Elevator finally closes with Welaho and Marinez inside which protects them from imperial troopers. One of the imperial agents plugs his tools into a wall and starts to hack, slowing Welaho's use with elevator console, which delays the use of elevator itself. Imperial troopers stand between Sith Lord and Barracudas and Lin'drala. They need to pass them to reach the Sith Lord.

After seeing the Sith lying on the ground and staying there. Barracudas saw an opening to resolve the conflict without further bloodshed. "Your commander, Lord Tazor and his apprentice are taken down. Republic reinforcements are now entering the ship and your now facing 2 trained Jedi, the fight is over. Surrender and you will fall no harm. Continue resisting and you will meet your end."

Imperial troopers that heard Barracudas stop firing. The agent that was hacking through the wall makes a pause and looks at Barracudas to hear what she has to say. The agent looks at the Sith Lord, downed across the hall before she looks back at Barracudas. Few other imperial troopers look at the two jedi and then at each other, not sure what to do, but Barracuda's words are reaching to them, and they lower down their weapons. They see the truth in padawan's words, that they don't stand chance now without their sith buddy to back them up against the two trained jedi. And then disturbance in the force covers the hall. Tazor's lightsaber starts to move slowly towards its owner, and the Sith Lord raises with Force on his feet without using his hands. He grabs his lightsaber as it returns to him and gives only one word to his troopers that accepted the loss and were about to surrender: "Weaklings!" His troopers start to choke and hold for their necks, as Sith Lord steals life from them and through the force heals himself. Others that were still not affected quickly open fire at the jedi again out of fear to not be next sith's targets. Sith Lord turns towards the both Jedi: "You underestimate the power of the dark side." He then sends orders to imperial squad : "There is one evacuation ship that still did not escape the hospital station, as the evacuation is in the process. Set up the bomb and blow the evacuation ship into dust, along with all wounded patients and doctors." He gives this order in front of Barracudas and Lin'drala, so that they can hear it. "And now if you excuse me, I have unfinished business to do. You are welcome to follow me and try to stop me ... again. I would take that as compliment, that you value me over the thousands innocent lives. But chose quickly, because you will not have the luxury of patience and meditation this time, jedi." Imperial agent finally opens the elevator door through hacking, but the elevator was no longer there. It started to move down, and the Sith Lord jumps through the elevator space and lands on the elevator where Welaho and Marinez are. They could hear the sound above their heads, above the elevator ceiling, that someone is up there.

Wiy sees from his head ship that special imperial forces are boarding the hangar close to the last evacuation ship, and break through defenses too easy on their way. Wiy's ships are protecting the evacuation ship in space but he cannot protect it if its blown from inside, and he knows that the bomb is on the way because his scanners detected it when special imperial forces flew near by. He quickly sends words the the people on hospital station to move faster.

Affection +10

Axo watches the objects floating in air above his head with "wtf" face. He looks at Lin'drala and sees her "magics" in action, and how she saves him by pushing the heavy objects away from him. Axo grabs his medpack and takes tablets to help him against pain. He went through hell when he was shocked with lighting, but these tablets should get him on feet, so he swallows few. Axo stands up, grabs his shotgun and rejoins with Lin'drala and Barracudas, seeking for Welaho with his eyes. When he hears Wiy's message on the hall speakers, he gets very concerned for the people in evacuation section on the hospital station. "Bloody hell! Attacking innocent people that cannot defend themselves? This is Low Blow even from the empire. And where is Welaho?"

3. [Split up]

Lin'drala looks to the Jedi padawan Barracudas and to Axo as well.  "We must defeat this foe on every turn or it will have all been for naught. Young padawan you have fought bravely against this Sith but now we must walk a separate path, you and Axo will go and stop the imperial special forces and the explosives. I must face the Sith Lord again... Go now my friends and may the force be with us all." Upon finishing her words the Jedi master ran and leaped after the Sith Lord in hopes of stopping the Sith from killing his target.

"Aye aye Master Jedi. Be careful." Axo wishes well to Lin'drala and then he turns towards Barracudas having no clue what to do next, trying to not get hit by imperial troopers. "What are we going to do now? The quickest way to our goal is if we take the hall on the right. But those imperial troopers ... I cant bypass their numbers."

The hall on the right leads to evacuation areas and has imperial troopers on the way. They need to be dealt with before reaching special imperial squad, that are setting up the bomb on timer. There are not many troopers but for only two men it is enough to slow them down. They fire at Barracudas and Axo. Lin'drala went after Sith Lord, and that part of the story is still unknown.

Turns: Barracudas > Axo > Imperial Troopers

Axo stares and Barracudas and his attack at the imperial troopers without breathing. He does not have much experience seeing force users in action, so pretty much any thing they do is a big surprise for him. Axo's thoughts: "And here I thought that twi'leks are only good for dancing, but this one is different, she can dance with those jedi weapons without problem even if you know ... that troopers are shooting at her to kill her." Axo believes that the only way he can keep up with the jedi without getting into trouble is to stealth his way as he follows Barracudas.

Barracudas: All StrenghtDCvs10 success
Axo: Stealth 20 = auto success

Troopers had fair warning to back off and surrender. They decided to fire anyway despite of Barracuda's warning, and they all met their end. Imperial troopers had no chance against the padawan. She clears the path for Axo who wasn't targeted once as troopers did not notice him because he was hiding from them. And how could they when the twi'lek padawan was swinging with her lightsaber, one medic that is hiding would surly not get their attention.
The two of them finally arrive at the evacuation areas and they could see people running to escape pods and to evacuation ship as the battle rages. Four imperial troopers look different, with better equipment, and they are obviously the special force that Wiy warned the hospital about. They just finished planting one big bomb at the wall, and by looks at it, the evacuation ship wont be the only affected area, the entire hospital station will. Heavy trooper from the imperial special forces moves towards Barracudas and attacks him with flame thrower to prevent him from reaching and disabling the bomb while Axo is still hidden.

Turns: Barracudas > Axo > Imperial Special Force 1/4

Because of the use of the flamethrower, Barracudas didn't see an option to come close enough to use her lightsaber to engage the Heavy Trooper into combat so she turned to her power over the force to push him away against the wall, with all her power, to attempt to knock him out with the collision.

Axo stays away from the flames and grabs other imperial trooper from back near the bomb. He grabs him for head and attempts to break his neck with bare hands from behind, hoping that element of surprise will help him greatly.
