(Vex has used the Force to cloak himself in the darkness, so to ordinary eyes he wouldn't be visible, but if the troopers were equipped with infrared goggles then they would be able to see him. He is also in the midst of them as they start to form a perimeter for the others to land.)
Vex stayed crouched and hidden in the darkness he had wrapped himself in as he felt Zul's presence and touch in the Force. He sent mental commands to the young man to circle around to flank the soldiers, and to keep to the shadows. He had only allowed himself to open up in the Force for that brief moment before closing back down again.

It was a total disaster...
Adrian came up on his Padawan only to sense the incredible stress and uncertainty that echoed from his body. Adrian had let his young Padawan do this to himself rather than stick by his side. It was only sympathy that he felt though, because he had already suppressed those stronger emotions as he sprinted back to this place utilizing the force.
Upon closer observation, he was about five feet from his Padawan now, he noticed that he was observing something from around the corner. The young knight crouched low so as not to obstruct Zul's view but at the same time observe this point of interest. The Jedi quickly identified the POI as a battalion of Sith Troopers.
He silently sighed a sigh of relief as he looked at the Sith Troopers.
This will no doubt be easier than what we had to deal with towards the core...
His voice wasn't even loud enough to pass the corner from which the two observed the troopers. Now after the intense conflict had finished Adrian used the force to stretch his perceptions out and touch Vex's mind.
My actions were too rash, but I am here to assist in you plans which I hope are fairing much better than mine.
The young knight tried to keep the tone light and keep things positive, not wanting to fret about the slightest chance of being engulfed in the darkness he had been sensing.

Vex nodded at Adrian's words, but did not send anything in return. Peace, calm and serenity flowed through the young knight's body as he sized up his opponents. He tensed his muscles as he prepared to pounce.
He jumped and lashed out towards the trooper at his twelve o'clock position, hitting him squarely in the back as Vex rode him to the ground. He placed his foot on the back of the troopers head as they went down and slammed the man's head to the deck of the hangar. The sound of the man's helmet rang off of the permacrete even as Vex felt the man fall unconscious.
He took no time, as soon as the soldier's head hit the deck he leaped towards his next target. By the time Vex landed in front of this trooper, the others had turned inward and towards the sound of their fallen comrade. All blaster muzzles tracked to where Vex would have been. The only trooper not turning to access the threat was receiving quick jabs to his solur plexus and neck from the fist and hilts of the Jedi's sabers. This trooper too, fell with a thud.
Vex's surprise was no longer an issue as he ran toward's the man to the right of the trooper he had just dropper. The orange and cerulean glows blossomed to life as he reached within feet of the next enemy. Blasters tracked and the Sith troopers opened fire. Vex was in the battle physically, but his mind and soul was washed away in the flows of the Force.
It was at this time that he let himself open to the Force, letting all of those with the ability to sense his presence do so. His saber slashed through the troopers weapon and set sparks that made the man flinch. A swift jab of the hilt of Cosmos dropped this soldier as well.
Vex kept Requiem on the defensive as he motioned with his other saber, sending a Force push towards the five troops still near the shuttle they had disembarked from. They smashed into the side of their transport and crumpled.
The odds were against him, but still he fought as he sustained burns from close shots, but he shunted the pain and continued on his monastic assault. He had yet to kill a soldier, but it was harder to not kill that let loose the hounds of war and strike with deathly grace.
He danced along the hangar deck as he continued to block and parry, while driving his attacks to incapacitate his enemies. More fell, leaving but eleven of them let taking cover behind random hangar equipment. They combined their fire, making it harder for the Jedi to block all of their shots.
He felt a shot coming in towards his left thigh and brought his saber around to deflect it, but at the same time was parrying another volley of bolts from another direction. His saber was a split second too slow and the bolt of energy seared its way into Vex's leg. He grunted and winced from the impact as he dropped to his knee. He felt the troopers all aiming in on this wounded man.
Vex gave himself over to the Force as he started to remember the nightmare of losing his master. This opened a reservoir of power within him. A howling shriek let loose as he stood through the pain and waves of dizziness. He sent a bolt of thought to the others nearby.
Now, my friends.
This was more of a command than it was a call for assistance. With the words came feelings of fear, anger, and sorrowful loss. This Jedi Knight was ineffably infallable.

Stay here my Padawan, you are injured and I do not want you pushing yourself to the limits like you already have...
There was a coldness to Adrian's words; even though this other Jedi, his partner, was having his own share of trouble Adrian still felt the need to shield his Padawan from any more danger. The blue glow of Adrian's lightsaber rose up as the humming suttly began rolling forth.
Unlike Vex, Adrian wasn't so choosey as to down an opponent or merely knock him out. They would become one with the force, and times were desperate. It was no bar room brawl that the young knight was in the mix of.
Shooting out from his hiding place he cut the hands clean off a Trooper who had his blaster aimed at Vex. As the troops were shocked into a two second pause from the terrifying scream that was the dis-handed Trooper the young Knight went to work. Utilizing the defensive stance of Soresu Adrian was still able to gut two or five soldiers before the blaster fire focused in on him. At this point rather than being in the mix of things Adrian jumped back and began deflecting shots.
The disorientated soldiers were easy to deflect and aim back at them to lower the numbers, but slowly these soldiers became a unit again and Adrian's deflections became less accurate. It came to a point were Adrian was fending for his life, no longer on the offensive but a desperate defense.
Zul, find our shuttle and prep it. Please hurry; I will follow along shortly...
Even through all this tension he was able to keep his composure in his voice. There was nothing, but serenity in his actions even if the action itself was that of killing.

Zul nodded slightly and connected to the force to keep his leg intact for a bit longer and he ran to the scuttle. After a tiny bit of running he reached the scuttle and opened the walkway to the inside of the scuttle. Zul was greeted by a group of Jedi healers. are the sith gone Zul just looked at him sit down, be quiet, and get out of my way please Zul started to walk up the ramp to the controls, and the healers saw that Zul was hurt and was bleeding badly sit down we will heal you in a second Zul turned around angrily shut it and sit down i don't have time to talk to you and Zul pushed him back into his sit.
Zul limped to the controls and started to hit a couple buttons while he was hearing all the systems starting and the engines starting to fire up. Zul sent a mental message to Adrian. Everyone the scuttle is fired up and ready to go now

(Just a heads up, left Tal in the shuttle, the healers already have it prepped for launch. Just waiting for us to make an opening to get out of there. Wish there were some starfighters around. lol.)
Vex smiled grimly as the other Jedi held no sway for the lives of those they fought. The leviathan stalking beneath his consciousness reared its head at this show of aggression. The sight of Adrian slashing and cleaving drew forth a wicked grin from Vex as he changed his tactics up and using this new found energy let his saber fly towards a trooper sighting in on Adrian.
Vex guided the throw enough to sever the man's head clean from his shoulders. The saber lazily flew back towards the man's outstretched hand as he deflected a couple of potshots. Most of the troopers had focused on Adrian, being the new threat. Vex hobbled his way towards the drop shuttle the Sith had arrived in, but as he approached the egress ramp ascended and the ship lifted up on it's repulsors and shot out through the containment field.
Vex grimaced at this and set about helping Adrian with the last few. He called a Sith blaster to his shaking hand after stowing his saber on his belt. Vex aimed in at the small group of troopers hunkered down behind a few crates and let loose a volley of blaster fire to draw their attention. He hobbled back towards their own ship as he continued to lay down cover fire until the power pack ran out.
Hurry Adrian, the next wave is incoming. Dispatch of them now and lets leave this retched place.

Adrian raised his hand into the air and within a split second of that an intense gust surged forth with Adrian as the epicenter. The troopers flew backwards before landing mostly on their backs and sides. While the move itself was a bit overdoing the force push the young knight needed that time the soldiers would need to recouperate in order to effectively flee. Almost sprinting at this point, not wanting to imbue his muscles with the force any further than he had already, he signaled for Vex to start heading out.
Yes we should hurry...
One of the Sith Troopers decided to be intelligent for once which turned out to be very unlucky for Yoley. Thinking outside of the box the Sith Trooper managed to get a few burst shots off while still lying on the ground. Unfortunately Adrian had already deactivated his lone saber so it would not get in the way of his flight from the battle.
While not having the greatest of aim from his grounded position this generic trooper had some success. Two blaster bolts found their mark on Adrian's person. One of which hit Adrian in the calf stunting his sprint to a hurried hobble, then the second hit his wrist hard enough that his lightsaber flew out of reach.
It was certainly a time of unfortunates, because now that the surprising pain had been dealt Adrian spun around with a different look in his eye. It was of pain, anguish, anger, or any of that. Simply put, Adrian had lost his control. Adrian say it now, that's how strong it had become. Given the fact that he had been training all these years it was bound to increase along with his own abilities. It was like a light blue vine of energy that reached out from Adrian's body and tapped into the very force that kept the unique soldier alive.
The reward for the Sith's Troopers ingenious idea was an instantaneous death as Adrian took the force from the Soldier's body. The young knight didn't do it on purpose, but he knew his body must have felt it necessary in order to heal his injuries.
Adrian wore a look of terror as he felt revitalized now that he had just subconsciously devoured the force from another sentient being. Forgetting all about the lightsaber he lost the young Knight began a dead sprint for the ship. He had no words to say, and he did not wish to hear the questions if any.

Vex felt the energy and life being drawn from the soldier, the leviathan rolled and ate up the residual effects in the Force as they emanated from Adrian. The man grimaced as he was left to hobble back to the ship. His fellow Knight had sprinted past him in shame and terror. He reached out in the Force as he tried to pick up the pace on his injured leg. The other Jedi's saber skittered across the ground and rose to Vex's hand. He clipped it to his belt next to his master's saber as he made his way up the ramp as quickly as possible. He slapped the ramp control and it ascended to seal the ship.
Zul, get us out of here. Stay close to the planet though. They had a ship in orbit that would love to bare down on us. Put the colony between us and the other ship.
Letting go of his grip on the Force, Vex sagged against the bulkhead as the initial shock finally hit him. He saw spots before his eyes and his head swam. He struggled to keep consciousness when he saw a blurry form lean over him. A faint blue light glowed for a second and Vex's vision cleared. He looked up into the face of one of the healers he had rescued earlier. Jobe was his name.
Thank you my friend. Go see to the other injured. Do not shy away from their words, fore, you are doing what is right.
Vex stood with the help of the young lad and slowly applied weight to his leg that had been hit. It still hurt, but he was able to put his full weight on to it. He smiled at the knowledge the young boy had of healing and made his way towards the control cab. He passed Adrian on the way. He stood away from the others isolating himself. Vex paused briefly with ice in his voice.
I'm making a full detailed report on my experiences here for the council.
He stepped into the cab and closed the door behind him, locking it and sliding into the copilot's seat.
I have faith in you that you can get us out of here in one piece Zul. I will be here with you the whole way, but you must clear your mind and calm yourself.

The beasts from the depths broke through one of the locked-down doors of The Irons, and the Tuk'ata began pouring into the area, attacking anything living without discretion. The beasts were horridly efficient, and soon had slain every sith trooper remaining, effectively sealing the planet off to both the Republic and the Sith. Door after door fell, until the beasts had found all survivors and ensured that there were none.
As this was occuring, a single other ship left Subterrel's orbit.
(Guess we're done here, then? Nice job, everybody.)

Zul hit some buttons and the scuttle lifted off the ground and shot out of the hanger. The scuttle got off of the planet and out of orbit. Ok everyone we are heading to Corusant and the Jedi Temple. Zul hit some buttons and it took a few seconds for the computer to find a safe hyperspace passage to Corusant, Then it entered hyperspace.
