When Gods do Battle.....(Athena)

[Verse Dawnstrider]

::Verse took his seat in 'The Wolf's Howl'. A alley bar in the Hapes Cluster. Here bar fights were welcome and bets were made. Athena, Greek Goddess of war will met Verse the Garou god of Song. Verse would make sure his battle song would forever ring in the Sith's ears. He was not one to fight. This was different though. The gloves were now off.::

"Come to me Athena...."

[Nayala Palain]

The 'Wolf's Howl' Not one of Athena's normal hang outs. But she was still there. He sat there in all his glory the Jedi Knight, whom had challanged her to this fight. She was not one to not fight. Indeed the Greek Goddess of war was in the bar. She smiled as she heard his call to her.

"Come to me Athena...."

" Do you think me your pet, Jedi? I am nobodys PET. I dont come when called. "

Athena was sitting at the bar. She was sitting over a bar stool and a glass of red wine that she had yet to touch. She was not wearing her cloak, but she was in full battle attire.

Both her sabers, her lightwhip, 2 blasters (one on her belt the other on her leg),and 7 throwing daggers. Attached to her belt. Straped to her leg was her blaster, her Sith Blade, and her Sith Dagger. Both gifts from her Master.

[Xazor Elessar]

Xazor sat in the bar next to her Master....her Father. She looked up to him and smiled.

You are so brave.....

She breathed it from her soul to his. She was here to watch the fight......and support her Master if need be. She didn't want him to be there alone, and she didn't want this to go on without her.

[Leon Katsuragi]

*Leon had followed athena from the sith bar. He was not about to miss this.. After what happend at rama's xazor was lucky to still be alive with all the sith she insulted. He was in a corner booth.. His pike rested by his side It seemed to go anywhere he went like a jedi and there saber.. He still had his own Light Saber under his night black robes but he prefered to use the pike more.*

This should be good..

*He did not directly show, but he was watching with most attention he had giving most things.. In a moment he was ready to jump in.. He knew most jedi came in packs.. Thats what it seemed like now. And a bar did not help it much.. He then wonderd why the jedi had chose to fight at a bar in the first place.*

[Helenias Evenstar]

A hand touched Xazor's shoulder

"Do not worry. He'll do well"

I had come to make sure this fight was fair and one on one.... and finished that way. It was well known the treachery and deceit of the scum that named themselves Sith.

[Xazor Elessar]

Xazor looked back and saw the one who touched her shoulder. It was her friend Helenias. She smiled when she saw her. It was good to have someone there she knew.

I hope so.....this is because of me....

She said to her through the Force. It was an aweful thing to try to speak verbally, for the Sith would jump all over her. She thought conversing nonverbally was best. She sat quietly for a moment as her thoughts drifted to the cause of this fight......she had entered Rama's Corner, the small Sith Bar. She had done nothing wrong, but somehow.....it ended up being more than she had wanted. Now her Master....her Father...had to battle for her.

[Vega Van-Derveld]

The Wolf's Howl. How very ironic that Vega should be here - and dually entertaining that another Garou should be present too! Verse, the father of Vega's good friend Chaos. Apparently also his daughter, that being Xazor, was here, alongside another woman whom he did not recognize, but who was there as a means of protection. Supposedly.

He wasn't here for any of them. He was here because one, Athena was, and two, he really couldn't resist a chance to beat Jedi down into the ground. It was an addiction of his.

The Sith Lord strode through the amassed crowd, a cocktail of Jedi and non-force users a like, across to his friend and fellow Sith, Athena. Stopping, he twisted on his heel to look across at the others present without saying a word.

[Verse Dawnstrider]

::Verse coulse sence the many Sith present. He sniffed the air. Anoth Garou was here. The stench was that of Vega. Verse knew he had not to worry about that one. Helenias Q'Dunn could take out the other two Sith with her arms tied behind her back. The God of Songs was ready to sing a song of victory. One that would be hard pressed, but one he felt he could get.

He walked up to Athen. He normal let the ladies go first, but this was not a lady. This was a beast in Verse's mind. One that must be taught a place. Athean had assulted Xazor. His adopted daughter. Athena preyed on the weak. Now it was time for a real threat to approach her. Even if Verse lost, Athena would remeber the blows she got from the Jedi.::

"It begins now Sith. Even if I fall, you will go away with scars fromt his battle..."

::Verse kicked the bar stool out from under Athene with his rigth foot. It started to fly to his left. Her feet touched the ground even before the stool full left from under her. He wore a cocky grin only to find a surprise. Verse caught the bottom of the stool with his left foot. As soon as it touched Verse countinued the motion by kicking the stool up catching Athena in the chin. As the stool hung in the air for a second, Verse slapped it back to his left slightly to his left hand. Verse spun with the momentuim of the stool all the way around bring the stool to the left side of Athena's face as he finished the spin. Athene fell backward on the bar as Verse droped the stool and came into a defensive stance.::

[Nayala Palain]

She heard the footsteps of the Jedi comeing up behind her. She had already noted the other Jedi in the room. She turned to look at the Jedi.

Athena felt her feet hit the floor as Verse attempted to make her fall. Although she didn't she did feel the bar stool slam into her chin. Not enough to cause sever pain but enough to get her attention. The stool was in Verse's hand this time and he had spun around with it in his hands and caught Athena across the face. The stool shattered as she fell backwards upon the bartop.

Her right and left hands flung back and over her head. She gripped two bottles of liquor and brought them around and the first of the two hitting Verse right in the face. The shattered glass landing in his eyes and on his clothes as the red wine splashed over Athena and Verse.

The second broke open a wound on the Jedi's head, blood and the sting of JD ran down his face. Athena kicked the man away from her and leapt off the bar top.

" ooh you will fail alright and I shall recover.. The memory will be a grand one for me. "

[Verse Dawnstrider]

::Verse stumbled back. The glass had not cut his eyes. He held his ground as wiped the glass carefully out his eyes. The wine stung his eyes. He could not keep them open for long. Luckly the bottle had only broken a vessel near his scalp. It hurt and looked bad. In truth it was worse than it looked. The wine made it sting like fire from The Nine-Hells.

Verse could feel the glass with the Force. He lashed out in defense sending the glass at Athena. Verse really wasn't aiming. He just threw the glass as best he could in the direction he felt Athena. The glass flew by Athena slicing her bare sides and giving a gash on her face. Verse kept his Mind's Eye open with the Force sence he could not see.::

"Yes, I will make sure you remeber this fight."

[Nayala Palain]

Athena brought up her covered arms to block as much of the glass as she could from her eyes and face. Some of the glass cut her in the stomach and once in the face.

She noticed he was still trying to clean his eyes. Athena force lifted a table up and over the Jedi Knight. She then dropped it onto the Jedi right after kicking to the floor. She noticed his eyes opened a second before the Table slamed into his body.

" And I shall make sure you never forget me Verse. "

[Verse Dawnstrider]

::Verse fell pinned the ground. He grunted as her spoke softly to himself.::

"Damnation..."

::Verse pushed up still partly blind. His breathing more shallow sence he had the breath knocked out of him when the table fell on him. He pushed teh table off of him as he spotted a circular metal tray on the ground. He rolled and grabed it with his hand. He threw it at Athena, aimed with his Mind's Eye. It caught her in the throat. Verse would have laugehd, but as it connected he fell backward slightly, off-balance from blood loss.::

[Xazor Elessar]

Xazor closed her eyes and leaned back against the seat. She tried to block it all out...but that was very difficult. Glancing at Verse quickly, she saw that he was already bleeding and could not see. He could not see.....just like she could not in a spar she had once had with him. He had thrown sand into her eyes and now she understood the purpose of it. She knew he would do well.....or at least in her heart she hoped he would.

Father I am with you....

She said softly through the Force to his mind, knowing that he could hear her.

[Nayala Palain]

Athena sputtered and coughed as the tray hit her in the throat. Attempting to regain her breath Athean looked at Verse. She noticed he had yet to get up, and that the blood loss was already taking its effects.


The Sith Knight ran and then jumped into the air. Her Masters favorite move.. The Sith's knees crunched into the Jedi's Rib cage. And she landed a powerful punch to the Jedi's nose.

Finally her breath was back but her throat was brusied.

[Verse Dawnstrider]

::Verse felt his nose crack. It was not bleeding, but would swell soon. Verse grabbed the other warriors armor as her knees rolled foward slightly from the attack she sent. He let the Force run through him as he threw his arms up and back. This sent the Sith head first into the wall. The impact knocked shelves off the wall onto her head. Verse stood up and spit up some blood. He breathed to find some pain. Cracked ribs as well. Not turning out to be a good day.::

[AmazonBabe]

:: AB stood in the background, just behind and to the right of Helenias, having transported the Xazor earlier to be here to support her father. It had been against her better judgment, but she could not find it in herself to take this away from the young Padawan. Besides, having Xazor here would give Verse strength. ::

[Nayala Palain]

Athena hit was wall head frist and shevles and items on the shelves fell ontop of her. But it also gave her a few weapons to use.

The glasses that had shattered became long rang projectiles. She called upon the darkness and sent each piece flying right at Verse as he finally got to his feet. A second wave of objects came hurrling at the Jedi. Broken pieces of wood, plaster, and glass...

Athena stood up and now noticed that the Jedi seemed to travel in packs like dogs. Humm a Jedi master, a Jedi of no rank, a padawan. She figured she would need to fight her way out even if she did beat Verse.

[Verse Dawnstrider]

::Verse saw with horror as the missiles came for him. In a reflex he picked the same table up with the Force that Athena had tossed on him. He flipped it sideways so that all the glass slammed intot he think table. He held the table by the legs so that The glass would not stab him through the wood. The second wave came, and Verse grunted as he held the table. Sencing it was over, Verse took a deep breath and got an idea. All the missiles were still in the table. Like a spined shield.....

Verse stained and breathed in as best he could. He sent a quick Force blast into Athena's mind. It was not enough to do any damage, but enough to daze her for a few moments. That was all verse needed. He ran and slammed the table into Athena, pinning her into the wall. As he hit, he found a safe place to put his shoulder on the back of the table. He held teh table leg with a bruised arm to keep it in the air. He slammed into Athena three more times. then he pushed into as hard as we could crushing her between the wall and his 'spined shield'.

[Nayala Palain]

His force move was so sicking, a flash of a happy child and mother. Sicking...

Then like a wave of darkness hitting a Padawan learner the table hit her. Verse pushed against the table and slamed her body into the wall three times. Athena grinaced at the pain but still she had a way out. She always did.

Athena reached over and touched the mans head, a force wave of darkness and death filled his mind. Then as her image was pasted to the Jedi she slamed her elbow into his neck/shoulder socket and grinded until Verse dropped the table.

Athean flipped over it and noticed the pieces of glass that was sticking into her skin. Nothing to deep, do to the fact her force wave embedded them into the table.

She was fueled by the pain each little piece made in her body. Verse was still trying to shake the horrific thoughts from his mind when his face meet the sole of her boot. Verse was sent flying into two rather big brawly guys. He ended up crashing onto their table.

[Xazor Elessar]

Xazor looked on in horror. This whole fight made her feel uncomfortable. She needed to be there, but didn't want to be. Looking down at the table when her father was sent into two tables, she sighed. How she wished she could fight for him...but he would not allow it. It was her fault that he was fighting now, and she wanted to make it all right once again.....

[Verse Dawnstrider]

::Verse fell into the tables. The men started to get up, but Verse sent a Force blast to there minds making them pass out. Nothing bad, just there mind was overwhelmed for a moment. A few hours rest and they would be fine. Verse grabed a large table leg off the ground. It was one from the table he broke. He used the fairly unhurt arm. The one Athena grinded still hurt. He would rather rest it for a moment.

Verse called the same table he crushed Athena with. It rushed to at him slamming into Athena's back. Verse moved to the side as the table came. As soon as Athena and the table were close, Verse slammed the table leg staright into Athena's face.::

[Nayala Palain]

The table hit Athena in the back it was not nearly as painful as the Jedi had hoped. She was still to close for it to really hurt. But the slight sting from it was still there.

She noticed the table jeg in the Jedi's hands and puled her head and face back as far as she could. Still getting hit in the nose with the table leg. Blood gushed down her face, but at the same time she used the palm of her left hand and broke the Jedis as she force slamed her plam into into his face.

Verse dropped the wood leg and both his hands rushed to his nose. Athena noticed the moment and kicked out his left knee with a side kick from her right boot. A slight crack could be heard.

[Verse Dawnstrider]

::Verse fell to rear as his knee popped out of joint. The crack was mostly from the clicking of boots to bone. It still hurt like hell though. Verse blocked out enough pain to pop it back in. Verse held out his palm and threw Athena into the bar with the Force. She hit hard enough to crack the wooden bar. He had to buy time. Verse pulled a single lightsaber out from his belt. He cut on teh grey blade and threw it. A large lighting fixture hung there. A thick cord held teh heavy thing in the air. The blade cut through the cord sending the whole thing on top of Athena's head. Verse called teh blade back and placed back on his belt.::

[Nayala Palain]

Athena hit the bar and felt it crack under her. Looking up she noticed the light fixture, she rolled backwards and under the bar. The light fixture hitting just where she was not a second before.


Athena peeked up from her shelter behind the bar and watched the sparks fly. As well she noticed Verse trying to work on his knee. She picked up the cord and snapped it much like her lightwhip. Then she sent it out and it snapped at the Jedi's leg. Her gloves helped to protect her from the sparks. But the electric charge was still in the cord and it burnt the Jedi's leg.

[Verse Dawnstrider]

::Verse started to feel the burn. Had to think fast. Jedi had the ability to absord energy. Small amounts of course. Vader did it sence he was skilled as a Dark Jedi and Sith. Verse absorbed the little electric charge left. The Jedi Corron Horn did this often. He also was able to change it. Sence energy is raw and primal, it could be changed. Lady Vader was able to do this at any level. Verse channeled the absorbed energy through the Force. This way it could not be absorbed back. With the energy he was channeling, also added with his own, Verse slammed Athena with the Force into a wall. She hit hard enought to leave an imprint where her body was.::

[Nayala Palain]

Athena felt her body lift from the floor and start to fly backwards. In as many fights as Athena had been in she knew she was going to hit the wall. She called upon the darkness to shield her body from the wall. Nothing broke this time...

Although the wall was another story all together. Her body left an impression the people at the bar would never forget. Athena's body slumped to the floor and she shook her head.

" Why won't you Jedi realize I am not a picture. And I don't belong on the WALL??? "

Athena got to her feet and looked at Verse. He was still working on his knee from when Athena kicked it out. She leaped out wards to the other side of the light and the broken bar. The Jedi was causing more of the mess then she was.

Calling on her training and darkways the Sith levitated the Jedi into the air. She smiled and sent him flying towards a wall himself. Although not back or face first. She sent him feet first. His knee capsizing under the pressure. Not even the force could heal that one fast enough. Although the force could block some of the pain, that was till he tried to stand.

[Verse Dawnstrider]

::Verse would not get on his leg, he was losing now. He had been on an easy streak to begin with. Now is was on the losing side. He had to get close to her. Keeping his distance was what was making him lose this battle.

Verse called on of the cable from the light to him fast. It flew to him like a snake on water. All the charge was out now, so no energy was in it. Verse send glass flying toward Athena with the Force. She dodged it with easy and grace sence she was used to Verse doing this. Out of nowhere though, the cable wrapped around both her feet. Verse held the cable around her feet with the Force so it could not be removed or fall down. Verse pulled as hard as he could causing Athena to fall on her back hitting her head hard on the ground. This dazed her for a while, and kept her from using the Force or consitrating. All she felt was a splitting head ache. Verse snapped the whip back. No guts no glory.

Verse vleared his mind and blocked out as much of the pain as he could. Then he leapt. He could feel his knee scream in pain as he did it. No dought he would suffer later for it. He handed on top of her before she knew what he had done. She would not have guessed he would have jumped like that. The two went to rolling as punchs were passed. Verse did his best to keep his knee away from the Sith. Verse headbutted Athena and thew her off him. She landed just inchs away on her face. Verse's knee hurt to much right then to use the Force. He rolled on her back with whip in hand still. As she tried to lift up it wrapped tightly around her neck. Verse placed his knee at the base of her spine and pulled back with all his might on the whip. He breathed deep trying his hardest to keep i t away from the Sith. At this point she could hit it over and over. It was to numb to hurt anymore, but not well enough to stand on. He just did not want it to be messed up more. Verse kept pulling with all his might. Adrenaline rushing through his body giving his streght he never knew he had. His knee pressed harder in her spine. At this rate she would suffercate or brake her spine.::

OOC: Sorry it was so long. I was trying to add LOTS of detail. The only real damage in this post is the end. The rest was just feel-in to make it better reading and more realistic. After reading your posts I saw mine was lacking this.

[Nayala Palain]

Set within her belt was throwing daggers. She smiled well as much as the Sith could at the moment. Gripping one of the many she had. The Sith dagger that her Master had given her. She had already once buried it in the Jedi's rib cage.

She gripped the dagger and twisted her arm to the best she could. Athena felt the pain of her muscles twisting. But finally it cord was cut and his grip sent him flying backwards as the tention between Athena and himself snapped. Flying backwards his knee twisted.

Getting to her feet Athena removed the cord from her neck. Standing she started to stalk towards the Jedi. So far he was still loseing.

Her dagger was still in hand. She leaned down next to the Jedi. He was stumbling to his feet. Athena pushed him back down to the floor. She held him there with the force. One more sinister smile then she thrusted her dagger right back into the mans rib cage. Athena twisted it and pulled it back out.


" Get up. "

Her back hurt, her neck was red and cut. But her anger, pain and pride fueled her.

" GET UP! "

[Xazor Elessar]

Xazor couldn't take it. She buried her face in her hands and tried to block all the sound from the room. She felt a twinge of anger rising in her soul, but supressed it for she knew the destruction it would cause for her. She called to her Father through the Force.

I will take your place, please! I cannot bare it any longer!

She spoke in his mind. She could feel his pain, and it brought sorrow to her soul.

[Verse Dawnstrider]

::The dagger hit where it had the last time. Right below where his ribs met. It cut cleanly, but missed any organs. Verse ignited his Light Saber and pressed it over the spot. The saber's heat sealed the hole in his chest. The bleeding would be internal now, but he would have more time to work. He called two planks of wood to him as best he could. He called some cord as well. Placing the wood on each side of his leg, he tied them with the cord to allow him to stand on his leg with minimal pain.::

"We have a saying in the Garou. Death shall come apone soft wings."

:: Verse called more of the glass on the ground and sent it at Athena. she doged most, but two very large pieces slammed in her under her rib cage. It rammed them in deep. The he caused them to spin ripping viens and flesh. He pushed them in deeper with his mind. Then he fell back into the bar. He placed a hand on the bar to keep his balance. The pain was almost unbearable, and he was losing blood. Even if it could not be seen.::

"If I must die, I shall take you to the Nine-Hells with me. Let us call this a draw. All we shall do is kill each other. Both of us are fading fast. I am going faster, but I will take you with me if I must. I respect you. Let us leave as equals. With respect of skill. We may be opposite in many ways, but we are the same as well. What say you?"

[Xazor Elessar]

Xazor couldn't believe what her Master was saying. She looked at him confused for a moment, and then realized that he was right. He was a very wise man and Xazor would take this as a lesson as well.

[Nayala Palain]

Athena glared at Verse, her hands fell to her ribs and pulled both of the large glass pieces from her body. Her hands were covered in blood. The pain filled her body. She looked at the man who was losing more blood then she was. And he was losing it faster.

She summonsed the force to her body. She felt it embrace her and the feeling kept her going.

" Verse Dawnstrider, I would rather die then leave on your terms. Although you are a worthy man to fight. Your saber! And you and your 'daughter' may leave alive. Your internal damage is worse then my external damage. You will fall before I do, and even then my beloved friend Lupine Sith Lord Vega Van-Derveld will take me home. I will have died with Honor. Now it is up to you, lose your weapon to me, or lose your life to me. "

[Vega Van-Derveld]

Vega hadn't moved from where he was when he'd come in. He stood still, watching Athena and Verse in their fallen forms. A slight smirk covered his lips, without saying a word. He would indeed defend Athena's life with every last ounce of his strength, and would gladly do so now - especially since it meant thrashing Verse.

[Xazor Elessar]

You will not touch him!

Xazor slammed her fist on the table and rose from her seat. She walked over to the fight and stood in front of Verse.

Let him keep his weapon......fight me instead.

She growled low at the Sith woman. She would not let Verse be killed or his beloved weapon be taken from him.

[Nayala Palain]

Athena smirked

" Child move or Die. "

Not giving the child the time to think of what her patectic actions would cost her. Athena lifted the child into the air and slamed her body against one of the duracreet walls. A bodys impression rest where she threw the child. She then called one of the support beams to wrap around the childs body. As tight as Athena could pull it before it broke any bones on the child.

" Stay there, If I kill your father you are next, I never attacked you. You have gotten in the way of a challange a Jedi put to me. Just because the out come was not in your favor. Does not mean you can barge over here and take control. "

Athena looked over at Vega, and smiled.

" Watch her, if any of the Jedi other then Verse move crush her with the beam. "

[Vega Van-Derveld]

Vega smiled thinly and walked over to where Xazor had been pinned in place. He held up one had, palming facing forward, and looked down at Xazor.

"Don't squirm, little girl, or I'll just make the hold tighter."

A dark energy ebbed from his skin, locking the beam in place.

[Xazor Elessar]

Xazor couldn't take this.......and wouldn't. Her love for her father combined with the most power she had ever felt through the Force flowed through her body. She closed her eyes and sent the new power all throughout her body. Suddenly the beam burst and pieces of wood flew throughout the air. With this new strength, she had totally broken the beam. Her back hurt badly now that she could feel it. She couldn't worry about the pain. Vega glared at her and she sent a heavy Force blast his way, making him move out of her way. Athena was distracted now and Xazor walked right up to her and slapped her in the face.

You will battle me......leave my Father alone!

She said forcefully, not out of anger.....but love.

[Nayala Palain]

(( OOC thats not logical but you have asked me to understand your move. I will ONCE. make another move where you are not strong enough I will do more then talk to you over PM's.. DO you understand me? ))

Athena took the slap to the face and smiled. She then in one swift movement gripped the childs hair. Pulling her towards her(Athena's) body, she twisted the Padawan around and held her across the neck. Then as her left arm held the child her right arm dug her dagger. The one that she had just placedinto Verse. Into the childs Ribs. In between two ribs and twisted the blade. She felt the muscels and nerves break apart. The gush of blood showed a blood vessel was broken. This wound was near the lungs.

Athena finally looked at Verse after removing the saber of Xazor and placing it into her pouch.

" Your weapon or her life... Make a choice NOW!"

[Xazor Elessar]

ooc: Thank you.... :)


ic:

Xazor hit the floor and placed her hand over the deep wound. Tears flowed from her eyes and cascaded down her cheeks. It hurt so badly that she could not think at all.....but this is what she wanted. She would not let her Master die....she would take his place if need be. Blood gushed from the wound and then she realized that Athena had taken her saber too.....the one that she had built under the guidance of Verse. He had given her the parts for it.....and now it was gone along with those precious memories.

Pl....Master...

She looked into his eyes for a brief moment and then totally lost consciousness. The dagger had been too much for her, but if it would save his life, then her mission was accomplished.

[Nayala Palain]

Athena took a step over the now dying Jedi Padawan.

" Your weapon Sir, and you and your daughter may go to heal. You once again from my wrath. And her for the first time. If she lives that long. "

Athena placed her hand out towards the Jedi.

" Its not like its a hard decision VERSE. After I heal I may come to have a drink with you. "

[Marcus Telcontar]

A shadowy figure that had quietly followed Helenias stood up and pushed back his hood. A grim man, not well groomed, dressed in stained travelling clothes and a grey cloak came forward. He waved aside Helenias, before walking directly over to where Xazor stood, backhanding the Sith with the Force out of the way.

He was grim, but he was something much more than the travel beaten appearence looked.

"The girl is now in my protection. "

OOC : I'm replaceing Helenias as she cant be on for a day or two

[Verse Dawnstrider]

::Verse smiled. He felt the love for his child. He let that channel the Force. He gathered it for his signature move. One his family was known for.::

"You want my saber? You shall Have it!"

::Verse held out his palm. He faced it toward Athena.::

"Behold Sith! The Dawnstrider's Light!"

::Bright Energy roared from his hand. It was not the kind that could destroy though. It came out as a bright light. The brightest and purest anyone had every seen. It was like a new-born sun. Verse held his eyes closed at it filled the room for a split second. It blinded all but him. No one saw it coming. Athena fell back in pain from energy. It was the Light Side of the Force as well. Poison to Sith. It did not hurt the others, but blinded them. Verse gritted his teeth. He ignited his twin blades. He blocked out as much pain as he could and leap on Athena as she stumbled near him. He slammed his sabers into her shoulders. They exited out her and stuck into the floor as the two Force users hit the ground.::

[Xazor Elessar]

Xazor's body remained limp and lifeless on the floor of the bar. She was barely breathing and her heart only beat once or twice here and there. Her skin was pale and was turning a light blue as she slowly died. She would live though, for now she was being protected, even if she didn't know it. She needed help, though.....and soon......

[Nayala Palain]

Athena staggered to her feet. She shook her head and turned to see who had now attacked her. She was not having the best of days. First a Jedi Knight, Then a Jedi Padawan and now a Jedi Master.

" Wonderful! Get the hell out of my fight... Another day I am sure you and I can dance. "


Athena called upon the darkness and pulled the limp body of Xazor to her. She held her up with one arm around the child chest under her arms.

Xazor was infront of her when Verse's power hit the two. Athena did her best to cover her eyes. She dropped the Padawan and was ran threw with the two saber. They pierced her skin and she called upon the darkness that was now slipping from her body. This was a bad wound. Both her shoulders. She gripped her dagger and thrusted it into the center of the Jedi's chest as he fell a top her. She pushed as hard as she could and twisted the dagger. It was lodged in his breast plate. Blocked from any organ damage.

Verse's hands hit his chest as he let go of his sabers. Athena kicked him off of her. Then reached up and dis-ignited his sabers. The pain was fierce. She then held each of his sabers in her hands, and reignited them, now her weapons.

She looked over at the limp body of Xazor and threw the two ignited sabers at her.

" I told you, the weapons or her. And yet you attacked, And like the Jedi always do. Everyone gets in the way. "

Athena smiled as the sabers each hit Xazor's limp body.

[Eve Siren]

"Not very gentleman-like to gang up on a lady, don't you think, boys ?"

Behind everyone was the Sith Knight Eve Siren. Crossing her arms as she frowned of anger under her motorcycle helmet. She didn't like people ganging up on people she knew, and especially Athena.

She walked towards the fight. Athena was badly hurt and it angered her even more. She looked up at the two Jedis. One, Verse ... Who is this other one ?

[Marcus Telcontar]

:: His reaction was fast. He saw as the Sith began to reach back and in the Force, he sensed intention. His own sabre came off his belt and in an underhand cast, he threw it as well. But not with the blade on, fir that wasn't his intention.

Barely before hte first sabre hit Xazor, the hilt intersected the glowing blade. Athona, the Sabre of Light had been bult thousands of years before out of alloys and castings long forgotten.... but it also had one other thing. A Cortoris overlay. With a flash of red that left Athona glowing red, the first blade shut off. The second touched the Padawan burning her before Athona too intersected. How badly, Marcus didn't know.

He ran to the Padwan, calling back Athona, standing over Xazor again, to defend her life. He wasn't interested in aggression. He was only interested in making sure the life of a Padawan held dear would be saved. ::

[Xazor Elessar]

The pain ripped through Xazor's body and brought her to full consciousness. She realized what had happened. Looking up at her Master as she laid in a puddle of blood, she smiled....

Father......I just wanted....to make you proud......

She reached out for him with her hand and then collapsed once again.....this time, she would not regain consciousness on her own.

[Verse Dawnstrider]

::Verse called his sabers to him. He placed them in his belt. He couldn't go head to head with Athena. It would be pointless. He could only stand on his wieght for a few seconds. Verse sent a wave of energy to the keg behind the bar bursting it. Verse held the Ale in the air in it's shape. He send it at Athena, only he froze it in mid-air into many small slivers. They flew and caused many small, but painful cut to the only flesh on Athena. Some only gazed her, others riped gashes.::

[Nayala Palain]

The slivers and cuts were of little pain after the attack from the lightsabers. The med team at TSE would deal with them. She would not worry about it right now.

Athena hit a switch that was near her right wrist. A small blaster fell into her hand. The little silver blaster gleamed in the light. She was hurt and badly. This fight would end soon.

" Verse I warned you. "

She lifted her blaster and shot off 5 shots. At the un armed Jedi. One shot into the shoulder. The second shot into his right fore-arm. The third shot grazing his wrist. his right arm was useless now.

The other two shot hit him in his wonded knee.

" It was simple, Just admit a loss and leave me with a prize. You wanted this fight. And seeing how it didnt go your way, your friends drop in to save you."

In her left hand Athena gripped her sabers hilt. The rush of the cold weapon in her hand almost made the pain she had seem dull. That or her shoulder was going numb.

She ignited her saber and threw down her blaster. She called upon the darkness and force threw him into the wall behind him. His body slammed against it. Her weapon still ignited glowed and eirie glow. Almost as dark as Death its self.

[Marcus Telcontar]

:: As much as it pained him to see a Jedi in a fight, he went against his own impulses.... and turned to Xazor. What Verse did was not his concern. Not this time. He would simply have to know that if you began a fight..... well, he was going through to the end. Xazor on the otherhand....

"Damn foolish girl" he muttered. He knew whom she was, they had met on a planet far from here. She knew him too. Someone else could scrape the bodies out of this dive, he was taking the young Padawan, firstly out of the battle zone and then to somewhere where he could deal with the injuries. As there was no medical equipment here he could see, the Master, bent down and heaved Xazor over his shoulder. She seemed lifeless, let he knew the Padawan lived.

In his free hand, his sabre came alive, beginning it's strobing dance. Marcus was making it clear, he was taking Xazor with him and taking her now::

[Xazor Elessar]

Xazor's lifeless body was flopped over Marcus' shoulder. She was so unconscious that she did not even have a subconscious mind. Usually when taken out, she at least knew what was going on by the Force.......but not this time. It was really bad and Marcus knew it. She had massive wounds....lots of them and they bled out and all over the Jedi Master's clothes. Hopefully he would get her help soon......and hopefully her Master would be alright.....

[Verse Dawnstrider]

::The pain rushed through him. He would lose this fight, but he would let her go with a few scars. He laid on the wall slowly bleeding. He felt a loose board with the Force. It was behind Athena. It made it snap up. It caught her in the back of the head. It slammed with as much Force as he could make it.

Verse nevered entered the fight for himself. Xazor was in trouble. Athena was on the attack. Verse had to step in. Verse wondeed if it was the rigth choice. Xazor ended up getting hurt anyway, but Verse tried. That was all one could do. Xazor was safe now. Verse cared not if he died. He did what he came to do. Take the heat of his daughter.::

[Nayala Palain]

The board hit Athena in the back of the head, and sent to the floor her saber dis-igniting as she fell. She sighed once, moving her right hand to her skull to see if it had been broke open. Yes but not to badly. She staggered to her feet.

She looked at the Jedi whom took the Padawan, then over to Verse. Her Sith Dagger was still in his chest. She lifted her right hand and it was shakey. Tired , hurt and weak. The darkness started to twist the small daggers blade as it was lodged into the Jedi's breast plate. Bone fragments chipping and the pain shooting threw his body. Finally with her right hand she called her dagger to her hand.

The blood of both Verse, and Xazor was upon her dagger. For the first time in the whole fight her eyes flashed Crimson.

" Im done playing Verse. "

Athean re-ignited her violet saber in her left hand.

[Verse Dawnstrider]

::Verse would have screamed in pain if he could. He didn't have the energy though. Grey fire burned in his eyes. He may die here. He had to end this. He was finished, Athena wanted his blade. She would have it. Verse through a piece of a Chair with the Force. She blocked it to see one of Verse's blades fly toward her. It slammed through her knee cutting through her kneecap and tendons. She would not be useing it for a while.::

"There is the blade you wanted..."

[Marcus Telcontar]

:: With Xazor on his shoulder, he simply turned and left the building. There were other Jedi here who could render help for Verse. For now, his concern was to see Xazor into safety::

[Nayala Palain]

Athena fell to the ground and cringed in pain. Her knee and her body hurt. Although it hurt as bad as it looks she stood just not on on her bad leg.

Athean tok his saber from the floor and placed it in her pouch along with Xazors.

She then force pushed the splint from the Jedi Knight knee.

Her friend Eve moved over and helped Athena stand. But the Lupine Sith Lord came and picked her up. Walking her to the ships.

Verse fell as his support fumbled. Each of the Jedi moved and helped Verse back to his legs, and out of the bar and back to the Jedi home, to heal.
