STARLIGHT Blood or Force (Episode 10)

"As long I am seen as fool, I have advantage. You fail to see the true me, just like he does." Mileetra takes defensive stance with her staff saber and then quickly attempts to attack Lin'drala back again.

Nightingale Destiny (Mileetra's turn ended)

Mileetra dashes away leaving force lighting behind her to catch up her breath, she was drained a bit for keeping Barracudas and Jag trapped for so long. Now they are free.

Barracudas (75hp 30sp) > Mileetra (59hp) > Jag (6.5 hp) > Lin'drala (4hp)

Jag was held in the spot from some lighting coming out from ground, he was confused by it, but shaking him in spot this long really annoyed him, especially because his thumb was on half way to detonate the ice mine, and the lighting stopped him. Now when it ended, he fell free on his knees while smoke coming out from his body, and finally he activates the Ice Mine (27DC to Freeze, 12.5 dps cold energy - Free Action). In addition he would toss another mine on the field (Turn Action Electrical Mine).

[Demolition]

Mileetra suffers the cold energy damage as the ice mine explodes, can she resist the freezing effect? And will she spot another mine on the field?

[Fortitude (5+Roll) vs 27]
[Awareness (7.5 +Roll) vs 38]

Jag detonates electrical mine in Lin's turn after she finishes attack and is on safe distance.

When electrical mine hits Mileetra, ironically she suffers the pain from the energy she apparently mastered. The detonation knocks out her staff-saber out of her hand towards Jag, it deactivates in mid air before it hits metal floor and does few "clink clink" sounds. It rolls over to Jag's feet, and he kicks the saber away so that Mileetra cannot summon it back. Mileetra half kneels and rises her head at Jag, her eyes glowing with fury of force lighting. The vanguard loads his gun and charges at Mileetra, shooting. She easily force dashes away from the bolts, making it difficult for Jag to shoot her, leaving her force lighting trace behind her, which traps Jag, stunning him in place. He groans, annoyed with this enough that she keeps repeating, while he was stunned for a moment, he lost his grip for his gun, and Mileetra uses the Force to summon his weapon out of his hands. When she grabs Jag's weapon with one hand, she fires lighting ball at Jag, sending him flying in wall, where he hits and slips down on his butt. Mileetra then walks towards Jag to finish him off: "You soldiers always try to fight what you cannot defeat. I wield the Dark side of the Force, you fool. Now I will enjoy killing you with your own weapon." Mileetra grabs Jag's gun and aims at Jag to shoot him. Jag looks at Mileetra and gives her a half smile, even if she could not see it through his helmet: "I was actually counting on it." Mileetra narrows her eyes at Jag wondering what he is talking about, and then a gas mine planted on the gun starts to beep. Jag put it there before she could see, and he has the detonator, he activates it and blows Mileetra down instantly, defeating her in one hit. Jag gets up and picks up his weapon, then walks towards Mileetra, where she is lying on the floor, to finish her off, unless someone else stops him.

"Yes sir! Understood!" Vanguard steps away without a question. Mileetra is unconscious.

Barracudas deactivates her lightsabers after the explosion, glad that it's over. Seeing her Master wielding the blade that killed her former Master brings up conflicting emotions but she easily dismisses them, rushing over she envelops Lin'drala in a hug. Forgetting all about what has happened in the time she was gone. Releasing her she gives her a slap to the cheek and envelops her again. "Don't ever do that again." She tells her.

"She will be remembered as the hero she was. She sacrificed herself to save my and Jag's life." Barracudas crouches down and reaches out to the stun cuffs on her belt. "I understand Master, I may not have many happy memories of my family, but it would be unfair to ignore those bonds others had the chance to form." She moves Mileetra on her back and cuffs her hands behind her back. "That doesn't mean, I'm taking any chances." Summoning Mileetra's staff saber she looks it over and gives it and the remote to the stun/shock function of the cuffs to Lin'drala. "I believe these belong to you." She smiles at her.

Barracudas shakes her head and places her hand on top of Lin'drala's. "Keept on to it, untill you have your own lightsaber again. It's color may be red, but it burns as well as any other."

[Affection Lost -5]

"Understood!" Vanguard did not like idea, the mission was about saving the Jedi Master, not her enemies who tried to kill her and him. But he follows the orders of those who are above his rank, even if that sounded like a question, to Jag it was clear that his next job is to be mule pack. He gently picks up Mileetra and awaits for further orders.
