STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Rescue

"Give it back," Rianna snaps as she gets back up, furious. "Too cowardly to fight properly and actually face your opponent..."

Not giving up yet, she'll attack him with a Combat Push...

"Making use of an advantage is not cowardice," Amlann states, idly studying your lightsaber. "My followers are not armed with lightsabers and lack the gift of the Force, and yet you come at them wielding such things."

"No, instead they carry poisoned knives and attack for no reason. Give me back my lightsaber, now."

Did you see my attack? 😛

Xavier watches everything happen.

We must kill him

"That's not completely true though there was one that wielded a lightsaber and and the force. We believe we took his hand from him, we want the rest. What is ours."

When you raise your hand to enact the Combat Push, nothing happens. He ignores you to address Xavier.

"My apprentice? A shame that you had to take his arm. I managed to find him a suitable replacement."

"We'll just have to take that one as well along with everything else he owes us."

"I think Del would prefer to keep his body intact."

"It isn't his choice anymore. He lost to us, his life is ours to take and do with as we please."

Rianna's anger just keeps building...

"Perhaps he shouldn't have crossed us," she says, this time attempting a Combat Push to knock her lightsaber from his hand. "And where have your little underlings gone now? I've a score to settle with them..."

Dak will be circling around at this point, lightsabers away, but ready to be drawn at any moment.

Again, nothing happens, Rianna. You cannot call upon the Force.

"I beg to differ. You have no right to take the life of another, especially one with noble intentions. You are the evil-doers, here. I can change that, if you will let me."

"You couldn't even if I were inclined to let you. Which I am not," Rianna snarls, getting ready to try attacking him again out of frustration. Also, she wants her lightsaber back.

"Nor do I care what you think we have the right to do or not."

"And what about you two?" Amlann asks Dak and Xavier. "Would you accept my offer of study and rehabilitation?"

"You're completely insane..." Rianna hisses, letting her anger take control and taking out her other lightsaber, slashing it at him. Is she still unable to sense anything?

Xavier thinks back upon his life.

There is only one way for you to be redeemed, that ends with our death

"We believe that once you have fallen there is no such thing as redemption."

When Rianna makes another dive for Amlann, he calmly but firmly lifts his hand and slams it towards her. Instead of projecting a physical attack, he uses the Force to pick her up and Fling her across the room. She collides with Galder on the torture rack before crumpling to the ground, having taken 12 damage. Her lightsaber, the one that Amlann snatched, clatters down beside her as he tosses it away.

The impact knocks the wind out of Galder, who coughs as he is suddenly roused.

"What the..." he sputters, before looking down. "Rianna? Get me down!"

Rianna, you sense someone above you. Not Galder.

-

Amlann then turns his attention to Xavier and Dak.

"Then it appears you have made your decision," Amlann says. "Subdual it is..."

His lightsaber jumps into his hands and activates, a purple blade.

Dak flicks his lightsabers out as Amlann ignites his. "We're not going to stop at subduing you," he says flatly.

This is going to be a duel for Dak and Xavier.

I just need to hear from Rianna, now...

Is Rianna allowed to participate in the duel, or has she counted herself out of it thanks to her angered reckless stupidity? 😛

"You have so much to answer for right now, Galder..." she hisses, getting back up off the floor, and looking up to see who is there...as well as grabbing back her lightsaber. "And if you want down from there, you'd better hope that simply cutting everything apart will suffice."

It is Del, sporting a skeletal cybernetic arm to replace the one that Xavier took. He flexes it and the shield mechanism sparks on, while reaching for his lightsaber with the other, authentic arm.

"Yes, yes, fine, just do it!" Galder says.

Galder is held in place at the shoulders, waist, knees, and feet by arcs of energy that are rendering him completely numb and useless. The torture rack has some nearby controls...
