USH'S GAME EPISODE V- 'MAUSOLEUM'- DARK SIDE AREA

You lose a lot of men pulling out, Galder. A shame.

Ok, you guys fight through to Wraith's position. And now there is fighting EVERYWHERE you can see! And... you see lightsabres through the dust and smog that is building up throughout the city...

"It can't be..." Galder mutters after he sees the lightsabers. "The Jedi?" He takes out his electrobinoculars and tries to get a view from cover.

Galder, you try and makes things out... you cannot tel from here... it could be the Jedi, or the other Zeitonian council members... and the way the air keeps distorting in little bursts where you look is not helping.

You stop dead. Distorting air? You take another look. Sonic bursts!

Xeth...

(Is duel time? is it? is it? 😄 )

"Galder Jedi or not lets get over there and engage those with sabres" Turning to Ter'Minaw "See those air distortions? I need the source of them abliterated! Take some men and see to it!!"

Rah starts making his way towards the sabres in the distance...

"Xeth..." Galder snarls to himself. "He's mine...Gar'Veran, cover me..."

Galder charges from cover, taking out his repeater and firing rapid bursts at Zeitonians as he rushes at the Geonasian.

"Galder! Rah!" comes the command over the com from Kuylen. "Back! Get BACK!"

Rah fights his instincts and calls a retreat to his men and returns to Kuylen "Sorry master but when I see the Jedi I fill with rage and a burning desire to erase them!"

Galder snarls and makes for cover again.

"Why?! I want the Jedi dead! If we have not died, then it will take equally as long to kill them."

Kuylen is laughing heartily.

"Don't you see?" he says. "Don't you see what they have done?"

Galder thinks for a minute, and realizes the truth.

"They have done exactly what the Elder would not do. They brought out the Zeitonian military, which is exactly what we wanted."

Galder glimpses back at Xeth. He grins widely, almost insanely.

"Such fools...they have set themselves up, and they will die in their stupidity, unknowing that they brought the end of themselves."

Kuylen nods.

"You can always predict the Jedi," he says. "They have delivered us the Archives. Thery must have seized control and led the defences themselves, thinking they were performing heroics.

"So it is vital we stay out of sight! If we engage the Jedi it will be a fatal distraction. But now our way is clear to attack the central buildings and take the archives!"

The confronatation is slowing a little. There seems to be a show of force from both sides developing instead.

"I see, General. Would you like me to call a retreat? Or leave my men under the command of my Leiutenant and join you at the Archives?"

Kuylen ponders.

"The Jedi will realise something is wrong," says a dust-covered Saar, approaching from behind. "Their instincts are good, especially their Master."

"Yes, Gundark..." says Kuylen. "They will ttry and stop us... but it will be too late."

"Not too late for them to make a fight of it."

"Then they shall die!," says Kuylen. "Too long we have tolerated their presence. Now they shall meet their doom. The Jedi will leave all their forces to fight here. I care not about this battle. Bring your Lieutentants and I shall also, say, two dozen men. The fight will not last long."

"Yes, General," Captain Galder replies, the insane grin still on his face. "I agree that they have lived a bit too long to be in our plans. I should wish to see the Jedi fall..."

He gives the Leiutenant the orders passed down from Kuylen. "We are going at once."

"Wait our moment," says Kuylen. "If we pull all our leaders out at once it will look suspicious. Tactical thinking, Galder! There is more to this now than just reflexes and skill!"

"Yeah, Galder, think!" Wraith chuckles. "We should pull out slowly, one at a time, man by man."

"Kuylen!" says Shi'Haia, running in. Kuylen is busy for a few moments, forcibly yelling at Chion to withdraw- not easy.

"Our enemies request parlay!" Kuylen smiles.

"Grant it," he says.

"Watch this," he says to you others. "When the fighting starts again, thigns will be confused. That will be our chance to leave this war and go do somethiing important..."

Galder looks longingly at Xeth.

"And THEN we can eliminate the Jedi, am I right?" Galder asks, the insane grin fading. "We are so close to power..."

"Yes," says Kuylen. "This time... we leave none of them alive."

The parlay scene is a pivotal moment, so I will carry all this out tomorrow, and give Gundy a bit more time in the process.

"Once the powers of the Sith belong to us, there'll be nothing stopping us from swiftly bringing their deaths, Galder," Wraith says, taking off his helmet. "I am sure of it."
