Dero powered his weapon down and flipped off the Star Destroyer, using the Force to float down to the ground. When he landed he realized that everyone else had jumped on the opposite side of the Star Destroyer.
Good job, Dero he thought, chastising himself. He ran around and saw Jisko in between the Sith and the others. In his weakened condition he'll never be able to take the Sith alone!
Dero reignited his lightsaber staff and sprinted towards the group, hoping to get there in time.
Jaeh looked back. "No way is he going to get through with them." she looked around, planning to help if no one's coming. She had to get others to safety too, not only Jisko is the person that she wanted to protect. You can never save everybody... She heard in her head, some wise word from an important person in her life. But I could try. she answered back. Jaeh spotted Darc. "Okay, he's in good hands." SHe told herself. "Run, and hide for cover!"
Stormtroopers slid in front of them. "Freeze! Don't move! Hands where we can see them!"
Jaeh shook her head, and attacked. "You guys go ahead and get outta here!"

As Dero reached the Sith, she turned to meet him. He spun his lightsaber staff but she parried it at the last moment. Dero skidded to a stop and turned to face her.
He tapped his personal communicator to activate it. "Nord, I want you to take as many of the Jedi as you can on your ship and head towards Ithor," Dero said. "When I finish with this Sith I'll join you. It isn't safe here anymore. If there's two Sith there's no telling how many are hiding here."
"Furthermore, there's nothing left here for the Jedi. Might as well start anew on Ithor."
The Sith prepared herself for Dero. "You fool! I will enjoy taking your life."
"Sorry to disappoint you, scum," Dero said. "Make peace with the Force, Sith, because you are about to meet your end."
For a moment neither of them moved, the tension in the air mounting up. It was unclear who decided to attack first since it happened so fast, but they engaged in battle, both knowing that only one was coming out alive.
The Sith matched Dero blow for blow, but Dero had something up his sleeve. He wasn't fighting as hard as he could. In fact, he was hardly breaking a sweat. Dero parried a blow then jumped back. He passed his staff to his left hand.
"Time to end this." He clenched his right hand tightly into a fist and three blades shot out from his wrist. He jumped at the Sith and swung at him with the claws, catching the Sith off guard and leaving three cut across her stomach.
The Sith cried out in pain and clenched her stomach with her free hand. Dero didn't waste any time and attacked her. Despite her immense pain, she was able to defend herself, but Dero wasn't pulling any punches now. She was quickly overwhelmed by his skill. But before he could deliver the kill shot she jumped back using the Force. "Its over, Sith," Dero said. "You are prolonging the inevitable!"
"No, silly Jensaarai," she said smirking. "You have no idea what you are up against." She powered down her lightsaber and raised her hands. Suddenly purple bolts of electricity shot from her fingers.
This unexpected move took Dero by surprise. His armor couldn't protect him from this. This pain was unimaginable. He dropped his weapon and fell to his knee, yelling from the pain.
This is it, Dero thought. At least I was able to help the Jedi get away. He braced himself on the ground with his hands, contemplating giving up.
Jaeh slipped her robe off, preparing herself for battle. She moved her right foot back and took a stance, hand at her lightsaber. The Stormtroopers opened fire. Jaeh swiftly unclipped her lightsaber, ignited and began deflecting the blaster bolts. She volleyed one at a Stormtrooper, taking him out, then another, then another. The last one saw his comrades had fallen and stopped firing. He hesitated then turn to run. Jaeh pushed her hand out towards him, palm outstretched, using the Force to send the Stormtrooper into a stone wall, knocking him unconscious.
She ran out and came see the Sith shocking Dero. "No!" she yelled. The Sith stopped what she was doing to see who was behind her. "Another pawn of the Light," she said. "Another fool to kill."
Without hesitation, Jaeh charged at the Sith. The lightsaber lit the darkening area as the sun set over the horizon. Soon Jaeh had the Sith in retreat. The Sith jumped back, possibly trying to use Force Lightning on Jaeh, but Jaeh's relentlessness didn't allow the Sith to call the necessary power. A few choice maneuvers and Jaeh was able to cut off the Sith's main hand, disarming her. Jaeh pulled back and stabbed the Sith in the chest. The Sith cried out in pain one final time then went limp. Jaeh powered down her weapon then ran over to Dero, who was laying on the ground, smoke still rising from his body.
"Dero!" she said propping his head up. She took his helmet off, "Are you ok?"
"I'll live," he said weakly. "Do me a favor. Press the green button on my left arm."
She did as she was told. "What that do?"
"It gives makes my suit give me a small injection of bacta," he said. "Enough the give me the strength to continue on until I can get some real medical treatment."
"Oh." Jaeh looked around. "We gotta get you to the transport with everybody else. You can be treated there."
Dero grabbed his lightsaber staff and stood up. "No that's not necessary. My A-Wing is equipped with a bacta therapy unit. I just have to get to my A-Wing. You go with Nord and the rest. We have to get off this rock as soon as possible. I'll follow the transport in my A-Wing as support just in case we are attacked in space."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
"Ok..."
They both turned and walked towards their respective spacecrafts.
Sunather started to get out of the Star Destroyer when he thought the Jedi in there were finally trying to get out too. There were some troopers in the way which did not make much of a challenge. When they finally were out, lines of stormtroopers, what seemed to be more Sith, and large, heavily armored strormtrooper-like people armed with rather large weapons and jet packs left the Star Destroyer. "Dero," said Sunather, "If you are heading to that A-wing, do it fast." Sunather started running to the transport ship, as did many of the Jedi. They got out of the area. Few stayed and fought, slowly retreating. The lightsabers made little clouds of steam when the rain hit them. He took a last look at the moon, still not sure why he was there in the first place. When Sunather finally got in the ship, he saw some people that already were in there.
Jisko was already taking off in his A-wing. He was flying straight up. Then, his ship's flight path straightened. He launched 3 proton bombs, all together killing at least several dozen stormtroopers and Sith. The troopers with jet packs attempted to take him down. Having already gotten their attention, Jisko had planned what to do. There was a tunnel through the rubble of the temple, and Jisko decided to test his flying skills. He went full speed towards the tunnel, dodging the jet troopers' rocket launchers the whole time. The troopers could barley keep up. When Jisko slowed to go through the tunnel, he used his proton cannon to destroy the it. The jet troopers were already flying as fast as they could, and, before they could slow down, the fuel in their packs ignited as they hit the rocks, burning their bodies to ashes in a matter of seconds. Coming out of the tunnel just before it collapsed on him, Jisko turned his ship around to get back to the action, having taken care of the jetpackers' threat.
* nord noticed his comm beeping it was dero.... before he could listen another sith kicked him from behind *
'' errrk...! ''
* nord jumps behind the sith immobling him *
sith: ha!..... * the sith kicks nords knee in *
'' ahhhkk! ''
* nord pushes the sith with all his might and force power *
sith: nooo!!! * as he falls down a electrical saft *
* nord listens to the comm... he informs the masters hes coming *
* nord quikly dashes to the transports, he hopes that dero, jaeh and sunather are alright........ *
Once Nord gets in, Sunather is glad to see that at least someone else, other than the people already in the transports, is alright. "Oh, good. Is Dero and Jisko and everyone else alright?" asked Sunather. A large blast hit the ship and made it rock a little bit. "Start this thing up and get us out of here!"
Evee: master, ready to leave...
'' ok, depart when ready Evee ''
Evee: yes sir!
'' i sence there alright jisko left in this A-wing and dero and jaeh killed that sith, they should of left also along with jisko... ''
* the ship begins to lift off the ground missing blaster fire... *
'' To Ithor we go! ''
* nord takes a seat in the command center..... *
"Does this ship have a turret or something of the sort? So we can give some aerial support to the people on the ground." asked Sunather, inspecting the ship. Something latched onto the ship and made a loud thunk sound. A walking tank of a stormtrooper was looking through the window in the front and pointed his large gun at the inside of the ship. It was aimed at Evee!
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!" shouted Sunather. The proton bomb missed just enough to explode in midair and hit the stormtrooper, and barely scrape the ship. "Whoa..." Sunather picked up a com-link and said into it "Next time use blaster fire." The kid took a seat in the ship, immediately forgetting about the search for a turret.
"Well, that could have killed a lot more than just the trooper-" 3 more of them latched on the transport, and 2 latched on to Jisko's ship. "Never mind! Do another of those lucky shots!" Behind the ships were 28 more of those guys. It seemed even more were starting to fly up there. "I think we should go to space now."
One trooper fell off of Jisko's ship. Some of the shots from the others hit a latched trooper. When the ships were in space, the troops fell off the ship, and died, but the ones that were following stopped following and continued shooting at the ships. "Hyperspeed to Ithor?" A shot hit the transport right in the wing. Sunather picked up another com-link and said, "Hello? Is anyone down there alright? Anyone?"
