Jisko was finally outside, and he saw some quite serious developments had occurred. It seemed a land mine had exploded, two tree branches were severed, and a door to a ship was cut out. Out of the corner of his eye he saw an unknown woman, but his gaze immediately shot to Ithalius. Though weakened, he still wanted to take down the Sith, and, hoping he would get assistance from the "ladies", ran at the Dark Lord, and began to swing his sabre ferociously at him.
Perfect! The branch fell from under the bounty hunter and her jetpack ran out of fuel. She fell, but unexpectedly grabbed Dero's leg. They both fell smacking against twigs and branches as they went. Yet, the bounty hunter kept her grip on Dero's ankle. She threw him down under herself and they both finally reached the ground.
Dero slammed his head against the ground as he fell, then had the wind knocked out of him as the bounty hunter fell on top of him. All he had been through, he was just unable to move. Yet, had he been able to, he probably wouldn't have. The bounty hunter laid on top of him, and they stared at each other for a moment. Unable to speak, the bounty hunter spoke first.
"All that Jedi talk I had.. Do not take it personal.. I had a bad upgrowth.." She said. She patted his head, got up, and began to run.
Still sucking air, Dero managed to raise himself to one knee. He used his opposite hand to brace himself against the ground. If I had my armor this wouldn't have happened, he thought. Today is not my day. All he could do was watch as the bounty hunter sprinted away.
Concentrate! Dero focused on his breathing, slowing it down. Once his breathing returned to normal he concentrated on gathering the Force to continue the pursuit. He leaped and began to speed towards her. But he had gotten up too fast. Slamming his head against the ground had done more damage then he thought. The darkness filled his vision, then took him over. He fell down unconscious and slid to a stop.
"Bloody hell.." Noxis said, and parried the swings of Jisko barely.. "Now relaxe.. Dont get mad.. It can ruin that pretty face of yours.." Noxis said and made a counter-blow that forced Jisko backwards.. "I have no time for games" He said and looked around.. The place were crowded of force users.. And Tifa.. He looked at Tifa, who were on the other side of Jaeh and Marie-Lee.. Without the jetpack, she could not possibly pass the two, and Noxis entered the ship, still defending from the attacks of Jisko.. He needed to make room, in order for the ship to be able to take of..
"BEGONE!" He shouted, and directly after a swing of his, lighting spread from his fingertops, and launching Jisko away to the two girls where he rolled around and smoking, like he was on fire but without the fire.. He now had the chance to enter the ship, and make it take of, however that would make him leave Tifa.. A tough choice, but Noxis entered the ship, shut the door and the ship started up..
Tifa noticed this, and knew it was too late for boarding.. "YOU BASTARD!" She shouted to the ship, and ran in the opposit direction, stumbling a few times over fallen branches and even Dero.. "Sith scum!" She whined and took of into the swamp..
"We could?" Marie-Lee said and followed Jaeh as she was running back towards the temple. She stopped and turned around, noticing that Dero was lying on the ground. "You can go ahead, I just can not leave someone like that" She said and ran back to the location, bended down and looked at Dero where he laid. Looking over him, she could see the bounty hunter running away and she could not make up her mind if she should follow her, or help Dero. Seconds passed, as she pulled Dero up and placed his arm around her shoulder. He was too heavy for her to lift and she dragged him along the ground instead. "Sorry, this is the best I can do" She whispered, not knowing if he could hear her or not.

Jaeh stood up with Marie Lee's help. "Come on... let's go.. we could catch up to him." She ran towards the hangar after dero, and trie to search for a suitable ship. "my finger can wait." She grinned
Jisko acknowledged Jaeh's presence and found his A-wing, got in, and turned on the engines.
Noxis took a deep breath, thinking he had got away safely.. He activated a communicationlink between him and Executus at Taris.. Not being aware that they were to follow him, his next destination was set on autopilot and Taris.. "Lord Executus" Noxis said as the communication was connected.. He fell to his knees, and looked into the holographic transmittor.. "The recording is not destroyed.. I am leaving the Jedi Academy empty handed.. Tifa is MiA.." He said carefully, waiting for a respond.. "Noxis.. This is not something I will let pass like nothing.. We will deal with this, but you are not leaving the system without Tifa.. I can send you reinforcement, but you are NOT, I repeat NOT going to leave without Tifa"
"No, master" Noxis said, and turned the autopilot of.. "I'll be waiting at this location for reinforcement, Lord Executus.. Oh, and my identity has been exposed.. I do not believe they know of your existance, though.." He said "Any new reports about this Humar?" He asked, and with a brief "No" The communication was shut of.. Noxis gave a sigh out, and stopped his ship by the orbit border..
-
Tifa ran for her life, but as she turned around, she noticed that there were no one following her.. "Strange" She said and picked her scope up, scouting.. "Where did they go?" She asked, scratching her head.. "Well, that's good for me.. No Jedi to deal with.. And no Sith.." She looked at the equipment she had remaining.. She have lost her communication device, her jetpack was out of fuel, she had no more explosives, and she was exhausted.. "Behind enemy lines.. Again.." She said and sighed..
Jisko's ship took to the skies, and soon, to the vast expanse of space. He was one of the best pilots in the Order, and he knew it. He radioed Jaeh, telling her to form up above and to the left of him. They approached Noxis' spaceship in attack position. Jisko noticed he had no shield, and, making Jaeh aware of this, fired at the craft's hull, the blast from the cannon ripping through the metal casing of the ship.
(Ok DE, I need to know a little about your ship, does it have a hangar, how big is it etc. I believe mine and Jaeh's are both A-wings.)
OOC: Noxis is in control of an ship VERY simular to Ebon Hawk if you know what that is. If not, please say so, and I'll tell you..
Noxis ship started shaking from the blast.. "What the..!" He said, watching the radar.. "Oh, come on.. I just left.. Let me flee alone" He said annoyed, before running trough the ship.. The technical room was ahead, and pushing a few buttons, the ship shield was activated.. It was a weak kind of shield, but would gain him some time to get in position to fight the attackers back.. He walked up to the cockpit, pulling down the steering of the canons..
Noxis turned the cannons of the ship around, and without hesitatopm je was opening fire against the two fighters.. Focusing on the one in the lead, which was the one Jisko controled.. A few hits, maybe even one would be enough to take their ship down, in compharation to what they needed to take his ship down..
Once outside the academy, Marie-Lee laid Dero on solid ground. "Are you alright, sir?" She asked, not entierly sure about his name. Even though she had the rank of a Jedi, she was quite new to the academy and had only learnt a few of their names so far.
She leaned over him and gently slapped him on the cheek, looking him into the eyes. "Sir?" She repeated, giving repeating slaps on the cheek. He was just slightly pummeled and should without problems be alright.
She decided that it was enough slapping and she just backed away a little bit, leaning towards a pillar nearby. She looked at him laying on the ground, giving out a sigh. "What is going on?" She asked herself quietly, closing her eyes and drifting of into a weak state of meditation.

(sorry.. it was too early in the morn, wasn't supposed to go online, it was in a hurry.. >.<😉Jaeh radioed Jisko. "You know what i just realized?" She said, all the while firing at the ship, waiting for the shield to dissipate. "We left that bounty hunter down there."
"I know, but I think a Sith Lord is more important than a mere bounty hunter, and, anyway, once we defeat him, we can return to the planet and track her down." Before Jisko could say anymore, he realized a blast from a cannon firing at his ship. He quickly rolled his fighter to the left, evading the shots, and returned the gift.
The ship of Noxis was larger, and could not avoid shots as easy as they could.. The impact was right on, shaking the ship yet again.. "Reinforcement will arrive in about fourteen minutes" The voice of Executus was heard, and Noxis started mumbling to himself "That long? I'll be deep fried in five" He said quietly, before opening fire once more.. Without Tifa by his side, the ship was tough to maneuver.. He had to choose between the guns, and the steering.. He chose the gun, as he made another shot against both Jisko, and Jaeh at nearly the same time..
