Main Event Far Away Lights

[Macy Moretti]

"Well said," the commander said to Vader, forcing to back off from the other Sith, but following up with a blast of the Force that sent both Vader and Meceliss flying. The debris the Jedi threw was bisected by the man's lightsaber, though the debris seemed to catch in a gust of wind behind him. All of the debris that had been thrown back his way circled the man like a tornado, acting a dangerous shield.

The sonic boom from Starscream sent the Sith flying, leaving them prime targets for the grenades thrown by Sarge and Krystal once they landed. The remaining Sith were either pummeled by Titus, burned by Emily, or sent flying up into the lightning storm by Elliot. Soon, only the commander remained.

"You will not deny me my revenge!" he exclaimed as the earth around him cracked and burst. Ripples of the Force were sent flying, threatening to toss the group or bury them beneath the planet's surface.

With only one guy left, Kirby, who had puffed himself full of air safely landed from the crash earlier, began doing what he did best.

Kirby tried to inhale the Sith commander and copy his abilities.

... Revenge?

Emily didn't even have time to ask him "why" before he unleashed a powerfull telekinetic attack, one that would have knocked her off her feet if it wasn't for her stone magic. Reacting quickly, she joined Mizelia in their efforts to defend the others from this sudden attack.

Focusing her stone magic, rather than trying to outright shield others from the blasts that would knock them back, she instead extended tenrdils of pink light in an effort to hold those who were caught unprotected in place, alongside herself. In a way, she was fighting the force with a force of her own... And she could only hope her stone was strong enough to withstand the kind of powers these "Sith" seemed to possess.​

“Uhh... how long will this thing hold?!” Grif shouted as he too hid inside of Emily’s little bubble, slightly flinching every time that debris were thrown at them.

Meanwhile, Sarge only laughed like a madman as he continued to shoot at the commander with his rifle.

"Then why don't you just fly home to mommy and tell her about it? We obviously had no beef with you until you engaged combat!"

Starscream transformed back to robot mode as he retreated into Emily's little bubble.

Nothing could ever be easy, could it. "We don't even want to be here!" He yelled at the man from under Emily's protection. "We couldn't care less about any of what's going on in this hellhole of a planet, we just want to go home and get out of here!!"

@Atomic Knight @York @Crow​

The man indeed had a lightsaber, though he did not use it at all times. He deflected Krystal's blaster attacks and his shield of debris remained. Elliot took shots at the debris with fire and lightning, thinning the shield, but Krystal was at risk of being cut by the Sith commander. However, Liara tossed out a biotic blast, bouncing Krystal away from the man in time.

"I do not wish to know the circumstances that have brought you here or why Jedi would be working alongside one so strong in the dark side of the Force." Though everyone was protected at the moment, the man's Force assault only worsened, threatening to drop the entire battlefield into the planet's core. "But know that you are not supposed to be here. Whatever reason you are here, I will eliminate you."

Peter Quill/ Star-Lord

" Hi, our reason is that we fucking got struck by your magical lightning from the sky, tearing the ship we are in half. Like maybe two of us know what you are even talking about and are only fighting because we have bad experience that if we don't hit first, the others will kill us. I would ask for you to be civil, but I doubt that is going," he said, pulling his quad blaster and tossing it in the air to serve as a distraction. He tried to make a big boulder, but got a rock instead. " I hate you too powers," he mumbled, under his breath, throwing the rock at the sith.

@Atomic Knight @Everyone

When the debris flew, some had hit Nathan, knocking him on his ass. He made a noise of discomfort before standing back up, a bruise forming on his cheek under a cut that was bleeding slightly. He was mad, confused, but he had nothing to fight or defend himself with.

He had a mean glare, but that was about it, the boy's hand combat was no match for a sith lord.

Nathan walked over to where Elliot, Quill, and Emily stood, in a power stance. He could help them the best he could...and hide behind them.

@Lucky @Atomic Knight @York @Anyone

Sloppy, Vader had been pushed aside by the commander and got back to his feet. This person was skilled in the use of the Force, far more talented than Vader had originally thought.

"Then you will fall to the hand of a true Sith." Instead of picking up his own debris, Vader focused his powers to the ground where the commander was standing in an attempt to make him lose his balance.​

Rin was behind where Steve had told them to be, and she glared at the battleground with a slight jealousy. Why couldn't Vocaloid have built in weapons? She was going to ask Steve for a weapon, but considering how tense the situation was, Rin just decided to lay low, while poking her tongue out.​

Emily struggled with all her might against the invisible force the man wielded. Realizing just how much Vader must have been holding back on his own abilities, considering that he was able to hold his own against this man. Perhaps she shouldn't be surprised though, considering they were both Sith, but regardless... It didn't take long for her to realize that she couldn't really do anything offensive while she was trying to hold others in place with her stone magic.

It wasn't a bubble shield this time, but rather just her using her stone magic to fight the effects of the force itself... Though as the man began to direct his force downwards, even that was proving to be difficult to handle... As now it wasn't just about holding people in place, but the very ground beneath them intact. She could barely find the breath to speak as she looked from Elliot to Sarge, taking note of what Vader was trying to do.

"I don't know, but we have to stop that man!" She shouted, although, as she was occupied, she wasn't sure how.

Her eyes darted from the barrier of debris the man had created, to the ground below him... Slowly putting two and two together. Combined with Vader's efforts, they might just have a shot at this, figuratively and literally.

"We need to make a hole in his barrier. Big enough to have a shot at him. Knock him off his feet!" She called.

Normally, she would have been attempting this herself, but she was too busy keeping the battlefield from dropping into the planet's core, and doing so was taking all her effort. She feared if she diverted her efforts for even a moment, they might all be doomed...​

"Alright then! I don't know how, but We'll find a way!" Krystal said. She noted how hard Emily was working... if she stressed herself much more, it would be doom, especially for her... there needed to be a catalyst... an energy source Krystal could attach to the stone, and attach it to herself, to aid Emily in her task. Krystal then looked at her staff, and looked at the stone. Hoping she could combine the energies, Krystal moved her staff closer to Emily, hoping the stone would share energy with the staff, so Krystal could share the burden.

The Sith commander seemed to have little care for what Peter or Krystal had to say.

"... Ugh!" Elliot groaned when he tried open a portal under the man, finding his body wracked with pain. The exhaustion was hitting him once again and he could do little for the moment.

Thanks to the man's debris shield, Kirby was only able to suck in a bunch of rocks. However, this provided Sarge an opportunity to hit the man, who reeled back from being shot in the shoulder. Some of the debris barrier still remained, blocking the rest of his shots. The Sith continued to concentrate on dropping the group into the abyss.

「Trying to drop us into a pit? I really don't want to get stuck underground.」

Kumagawa spawned a group of large screws underneath the Sith commander, attempting to skewer him. Like the screws he had sent at the other Sith, they wouldn't hurt much at all physically but would render him powerless.

Even as he did that though, he rushed forward with a pair of screws in his hands. There was, after all, the chance that his Bookmakers would miss. Slamming one of his screws into the man's trash barrier, he activated his other Minus.

「「All Fiction」The existence of this barrier has become nothing!」

If successful, he would rush in with his second screw to try to hit the commander himself and end what he was doing.

A few of Kumagawa's initial screws missed, but one stabbed the Sith commander in the leg. However, he resisted its effects, for the most part, and held on to the Force. Then, Kumagawa's second attack managed to erase the barrier, leaving the man open. He managed a quick energy shield in front of him that blew Kumagawa back and blocked Sarge's shot at his chest.

He would still be quite formidable if not for the sudden attack from behind. A blaster hit him in the back, causing the man to seize up, dropping his lightsaber and falling to the ground. The ground beneath the group finally settled.

"Is everyone all right?" Michael Burnham asked, leading a small crew made up of men and women from both the Discovery and the Enterprise.

"Good job," Commander Shepard said upon seeing them. "We were worried about you."

"We're not in the clear just yet," Burnham said.

"That's for sure," Kirk nodded in agreement with Burnham, "We've run some tests and concluded that the electrical storm is preventing us from safely leaving this place, or even leaving it at all. I don't know what is the story behind it, but we'll have to find some way to dissipate it before anything."

"Aye, our beams can't get a lock on anything through the storm; no life signatures, no nothin'," the Chief of Engineering, Scotty, interjected.

"Fascinating..." Spock said, still calm even in the face of uncertainty, "It appears we've stumbled upon some sort of operation or battlefield. Whoever those others were, who appear to originate from the same world as Vader and the two others, we can only expect to run into even more. Caution is heavily advised from here on out."

"Who are all these men?" Burnham asked. She sighed heavily at the loss of life she was seeing.

Steve shrugged. "A group called the Sith, apparently." He gestured to Vader and the two Jedi. "These three seem to know about it."

"I'll get the commander tied up so we can hopefully get some information out of him," said Shepard, who proceeded to tie up the incapacitated man.

Burnham looked to Mizelia, Meceliss, and Vader. "Tell us everything you know about this planet and this man's powers. We don't have much time."

"Hmm. Looks like the fighting ending." Green Heart exclaimed as she engulfed herself in a bright light before reverting back to her human form. "As much as I'd love to continue trying to survive, I think it'd be a great idea if we figured out just what was going on." She then turned to Steve with a curious expression.

"While we have some time left, would you mind showing me some of your weaponry? It would appear that a Lance won't cut it against our current foes. I understand if this isn't exactly the best use of time, but at the moment I do feel quite useless against those "Sith" we had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting."

"I am very certain that we are on Malachor Five. Malachor Five was the last major battleground during the Mandalorian Wars around three hundred years ago. The battle was fought between a Republic fleet under the command of Revan and the Mandalorians under their ruler, Mandalore the Ultimate. During the battle, the Republic activated a superweapon known as the 'Mass Shadow Generator', which pulled the Mandalorian fleet onto the planet, but crippled the Republic fleet in the process. This caused so much death that the planet has become a wound in the Force. I can sense the pain and suffering of those who died during that battle. And you can't find life, because there is none anymorre." Mizelia said uncomfortable "As far as I know, that weapon is still active. And these storms, they are caused by said wound in the Force, this place is also strong in the Dark Side of the Force."
"As for the Sith, they're an Order of Force Users who practice the Dark Side of the Force, like Vader. They have been our enemies since the Great Hyperspace Wars, around one thousand years ago. Taking the clothing they were, they seem to be similar to those that fought on Coruscant during the their surprise attack. It's something I can't forget... as for the man's powers, it's unknown. It differs per person at what they learn. Though it does seem the man is very skilled in telekinesis." Meceliss said after a moment.

The battle seemed to have subsided and Vader holstered his lightsaber. The commander was down and not out. A grave mistake in Vader's opinion but he wasn't going to press it. When Burnham came up to Vader, he seemed happy to oblige her.

"He is indeed of the Sith. The power he wields is the same one as I. The Dark Side of the Force. A power only a chosen few can wield." Vader wasn't willing to share much, but he realized the Jedi with them would spill his secrets anyway, but unless pressed he wasn't going to elaborate any further. "The planet however is unknown to me, but the Force is strong here. Their commander seemed keen on eliminating us, which implies an importance."​

Steve looked surprised but nodded at Vert. "Sure, but I won't have much time to train you guys if that's what you're looking for." He reached down and opened up a case. "We have standard Alliance weaponry in here. Assault rifles and pistols mostly. Most fire superheated rounds but some give off an electrical charge. Want to try holding one and I could lead you through it?"

"Don't get frisky now," James said, walking over to Steve with a bit of a playful smile.

"Please," Steve said with a roll of his eyes.

Nearby, Burnham was considering the information she was being told. "The Force... If there is a 'wound' here, that must mean this force must be a power inherent in your universe itself. Interesting that you are able to make use of it outside your own universe."

"Perhaps it is a power they carried with them when they crossed dimensions?" Liara asked, curious herself.

"Could be. Regardless, if this is a tangible force in some manner, perhaps it could be mapped and made use of like the mycelial network. You three would be integral for that, but we likely need this man's help as well." She looked down at the unconscious Sith.

"Hmm. Looks like the fighting ending." Green Heart exclaimed as she engulfed herself in a bright light before reverting back to her human form. "As much as I'd love to continue trying to survive, I think it'd be a great idea if we figured out just what was going on." She then turned to Steve with a curious expression.

"While we have some time left, would you mind showing me some of your weaponry? It would appear that a Lance won't cut it against our current foes. I understand if this isn't exactly the best use of time, but at the moment I do feel quite useless against those "Sith" we had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting."

"I am very certain that we are on Malachor Five. Malachor Five was the last major battleground during the Mandalorian Wars around three hundred years ago. The battle was fought between a Republic fleet under the command of Revan and the Mandalorians under their ruler, Mandalore the Ultimate. During the battle, the Republic activated a superweapon known as the 'Mass Shadow Generator', which pulled the Mandalorian fleet onto the planet, but crippled the Republic fleet in the process. This caused so much death that the planet has become a wound in the Force. I can sense the pain and suffering of those who died during that battle. And you can't find life, because there is none anymorre." Mizelia said uncomfortable "As far as I know, that weapon is still active. And these storms, they are caused by said wound in the Force, this place is also strong in the Dark Side of the Force."
"As for the Sith, they're an Order of Force Users who practice the Dark Side of the Force, like Vader. They have been our enemies since the Great Hyperspace Wars, around one thousand years ago. Taking the clothing they were, they seem to be similar to those that fought on Coruscant during the their surprise attack. It's something I can't forget... as for the man's powers, it's unknown. It differs per person at what they learn. Though it does seem the man is very skilled in telekinesis." Meceliss said after a moment.

The battle seemed to have subsided and Vader holstered his lightsaber. The commander was down and not out. A grave mistake in Vader's opinion but he wasn't going to press it. When Burnham came up to Vader, he seemed happy to oblige her.

"He is indeed of the Sith. The power he wields is the same one as I. The Dark Side of the Force. A power only a chosen few can wield." Vader wasn't willing to share much, but he realized the Jedi with them would spill his secrets anyway, but unless pressed he wasn't going to elaborate any further. "The planet however is unknown to me, but the Force is strong here. Their commander seemed keen on eliminating us, which implies an importance."​

Steve looked surprised but nodded at Vert. "Sure, but I won't have much time to train you guys if that's what you're looking for." He reached down and opened up a case. "We have standard Alliance weaponry in here. Assault rifles and pistols mostly. Most fire superheated rounds but some give off an electrical charge. Want to try holding one and I could lead you through it?"

"Don't get frisky now," James said, walking over to Steve with a bit of a playful smile.

"Please," Steve said with a roll of his eyes.

Nearby, Burnham was considering the information she was being told. "The Force... If there is a 'wound' here, that must mean this force must be a power inherent in your universe itself. Interesting that you are able to make use of it outside your own universe."

"Perhaps it is a power they carried with them when they crossed dimensions?" Liara asked, curious herself.

"Could be. Regardless, if this is a tangible force in some manner, perhaps it could be mapped and made use of like the mycelial network. You three would be integral for that, but we likely need this man's help as well." She looked down at the unconscious Sith.

Once the battle was over, Emily was finally able to relax, sweat dripping down her face and all, which she wiped away carefully, eyeing her stone as she listened to Vader's analysis of the planet... She was glad to be reunited with the crew of the Discovery and Enterprise as well, but she was distracted from the conversation at hand briefly by her stone.

It was... Reacting to the planet a little, pulsating erratically, and though it hadn't spoken her to anything, perhaps whatever the dark side of this "force" was is the reason behind this. She wasn't sure what this meant, but it seemed her stone magic didn't mix all too well with whatever was going on on this planet. The sooner they got out, the better.

Her attention soon focused on Burnham, who had suggested it was likely they would need the Sith's help, the man who almost killed them all mere moments ago.

"Do you think we can reason with him?" She asked.

Considering his aggression when he first spotted them, she wasn't so sure... But, Emily remained optimistic that they may be able to get through to him, or at least get his help. Just as long as they were cautious about their approach, considering the kind of powers he possessed.​

"I suppose I can give it a try. It's certainly something new." Vert responded with a smile before turning to James with a chuckle. "Hmhm. I'll be gentle." She responded with a wink before bending down into a case and grabbing one of the rifles:

"Hmm. Perhaps this one?"

"I doubt he would be of much use, unless he knows more of the superweapon than I do. As of why we can use the Force outside our dimension... I have no answer for that. I am as clueless as you are." Mizelia said as she looked around for a moment. "I also have no idea if deactivating the superweapon will even help us. It will certainly not take away the wound nor the presence of the Dark Side. In order to remove that... we will die earlier of old age than doing so. It could also potentially fracture the planet even more. This planet used to be full of life before the Battle of Malachor V." She added as she shudders in discomfort
"I do not know if he will cooperate with us or if he even can help us." Meceliss said.

Though, as Emily's head stopped swimming, and she began to recover a little from her efforts, she suddenly remembered that Elliot hadn't been doing so well... His efforts to create a portal had evidently been met with less than success due to a relapse of what happened earlier... Back on the Enterprise.

"Do you... Need some help?" She asked him quietly, making motions to approach him if necessary.

Given his reactions the last few times she tried this, she decided to keep her distance unless the situation got too dire; she wasn't too sure that he would react too well to being touched and all.​

"That one shouldn't be too bad," Steve said. "It has an automatic fire, so if you're not careful, it will go flying out of your hand. There are features of the gun that reduce its density but you can't hold down the trigger and expect to hit something for long if not at close range. The weapon becomes too hot after excessive firing and will require you to apply thermal clips..." Steve reached down to grab a few and hand them to Vert. "An indicator will tell you when it's overheated. Now, the safety..."

Steve proceeded to show Vert how to properly hold the weapon and how to use it without hurting herself, moving her a bit away from the group so she could practice shooting without disturbing the conversation.

Burnham considered what the Jedi and Emily had to say, but figured she knew what had to be done. "Regardless if he will cooperate, we need to ask him some questions." She knelt down next to him. "Anyone think they could wake him up quick?"

Nearby, Elliot had moved to sit on the ground. He was sweating but he otherwise seemed as grumpy as usual. "I'll be fine," he said bluntly to Emily.

Holding the weapon as per shown by Steve, Vert practiced shooting without aiming towards some nearby rocks at different distances. "Ah... I see what you mean. Then I suppose if I looked down the sights..." She then aimed down the sights and shot at a few more rocks, this time with more accuracy. She seemed to be getting the hang of the grip and control of the weapon, but her aim wasn't exactly the best. "I'm sure with a bit more practice and assistance, I might be able to get the hang of this~" She then turned towards Steve for a moment. "This is a surprisingly comfortable weapon. It certainly takes kindly to my physic and the recoil isn't so bad."

"I might..." Mizelia said and kneels down next to the Sith. She looks up at the others "Restrain him." she said and only after that she starts to calm her breathing and empty her mind, trying to use the Force to gather some energy from her surroundings with great discomfort and redirect it towards the man. Trying to use the energy to give him a stamina boost as well as getting him out of his unconcious state. It was much weaker than she could use it due to the the Dark Side's presence being very strong.

"Not me." Krystal said, backing off from the commander of the Sith that attacked them.
