Alura had a lot of questions, but she didn't want to riddle this man with all of the frivelis thoughts that were floating around in our head. She looked at the man for a while before answering his question. I just... I have one major question... I wish to know who you are so that I can call you by name, and know who I am traveling with... also.. have you..." she paused then thought better to ask another question.
"Yeah, I do." The man said, and then he sighed. "He dissapeared...a long...long time ago...ambushed...by the Sith. No one...no one would believe him when he said the Sith were coming back...he went to stop it alone...we should've trusted him...now...now the Sith control half the galaxy...but you...your alive...your our last hope."
"You do not age when you are in the crystal." The man said, bending down and picking Alura up, "It's not much farther now." He said, holding her up gently against a tree, "We'll wait until you can walk." The man looked around again, and then a lightsaber flew from his hilt, and a red blade flashed to life which he set to Alura's neck. "Say goodbye Jedi."
Alura not knowing what was going on but her jedi reaction led the way she grabbed her saber from her hilt weilding it slicing at his arm that held the lightsabre making a nasty gash almost all the way through it would have went through except for the angle that she was at prevented it... she kicked him away from her in ready stance to strike again. "who are you... what are you doing... you're you're.. a sith.... I will not be taken down that easy she grunted kicking him again... she had no comm... plus who could she come in contact with if she did... she couldn't think of anything better to do than to yell into the darkness... "HELP" threatening another swing at him.
Back on the ship several people suddenly turned, and several people said, "I sense it too." One of them ran to the door, which opened, and then charged down the ramp.
Back where Alura was fightning the Sith, a second man in a dark cloak walked into the clearing, and a second red lightsaber flashed to life. The Sith backed away from him and Alura, clutching his nearly amputated arm. The man who had just arrived stood in front of Alura, placing himself between her and the Sith. He was not a Sith, but he was a Dark Jedi. "Run."
Alura didn't ask questions she ran a short distance before turning to see where she was going and to see just who it was that had come to help her. "are you... are you going to help me or hurt me?" she asked a little out of breath "and is it true that zahlor is dead?" Normally her senses would be more clear, but the thought of zahlor being dead, and being jumped by a sith jumbled her thoughts.
The Dark Jedi charged the Sith, snaping his jaw with a straight kick, then decapitating him. He turned, after prodding teh corpse, back towards Alura. "Alura, I'm here t-"
"GET BACK!" Another man, the one from the ship, leaped over Alura, a blue lightsaber blade flashing to life, and he landed between her and the Dark Jedi. "I'm warning you now, do not take another step closer. I don't want a conflict."
"Get out of the way Jedi, I am not here for a fight. Alurs kno-" He was cut off as the Jedi swung his saber, nearly taking off his face. He jumped back, "Damnit Ben! Are you trying to kill me?" The Dark Jedi fiented left, then spun, kicking the Jedi in the jaw. The Jedi staggered backwards then collapsed. The Dark Jedi deactivated his blade, and picked the Jedi up, holding him over his shoulder. "Follow me Alura, back the way this man came. To the Jedi's ship. Sorry, I should have stopped the Sith before he got to you. Some Guardian Angel I turned out to be."
Alura looked at the man holding the jedi studying him "wait..." she said quietly i should look at his jaw let me at least make sure he's okay that was a pretty nasty kick you gave him. She recognized him... when he turned to look at her... "oh my god she cried I thought.... I thought you were dead."
Alura watched Zahlor take off, she wasn't quite sure of what just happened but she assumed she would see him again. She then looked to the jedi who was slouched over barely able to stand on his own "oh.. she said smiling at him... here let me help you" she rushed over to him putting his arm over her shoulder and wrapping her arm around his waist "are you okay... i would like to take a look at your jaw once we get in... that was a nasty blow that you took." she tried to lock eyes with him showing that she was concerned about him.
The Jedi shook his head, "I knew we couldn't trust him...look at what he did to me." He'd been unconcioud up until now, "Your lucky to be alive young lady. Zahlor is a Dark Jedi. He killed Skywalker." The man hung his head, "He was once one of out best. Now he's fallen to the Dark Side."
Zahlor ran through the trees, and stopped in a small clearing. He walked up to a small starship...
