It was a particular nice afternoon for Xue taste, not to hot or to cold it was perfect weather. Although he couldn't say much of the place he was currently in, Jahhnu a city filled with con artist and thieves and more thugs than Xue could count walked beside him, a couple of female sold their "goods" in each intersection it was a mess of a place Xue was in, the Jedi knight despite not enjoying his current mission actually managed to fit in this place, in a planet like aldeeran or more refined worlds Xue would be the first person one would pick out of the crowd. The Jedi knight of cheek Lenght and extremely messy hair, a left ear that was had several piercings and above all else the rogueish looks, made Xue look a lot more like a pirate than anything else, so in Farrfin the Jedi knight fitted more like one of the many smugglers and pirates that lived in the planet.
Xue Aodh mission today was to meet with a man who according with the rumors was selling a droid memory core with information on one group of force sensitives, which group did it actually talked about Xue or the Jedi did not know for certain, if the information was about another group of force sensitives Xue was instructed to buy the droid remnants and if it was information about the Jedi then he would retrieve it. Xue walked along with the flow of the crowd, looking casually at his sides for a place called Rook's drinks, the seller was suppose to be behind that building. Xue was careful enough not to act like he was lost, else there was no doubt someone would no doubt try to rob the Jedi knight the large quantity of credits.
After around ten minutes of wandering around, found the building with a rather suggestive hologram of a Twi'lek woman "Oi ooi, I thought it was a bar" Xue said between a chuckle of a laughter. The Jedi knight hands went inside the pockets of his long black trench coat, he looked at both sides of the street and walked in the alleyway to get to the back of the streets, he could hear the trance music and the laughter of the patrons inside "Jeessshh, strange place to buy information" the odd Jedi knight mused in his head while he kept walking, his field boots clicked along the way of the dark and unhealty alleyway.
"Heey, you the one selling some info ain't ya? the one about some force users?" Said Xue using a even more rogueish accent than it usually was, he addressed the bald human sitting on top a Dumpster. "Yeah what of it?"

"This place reminds me of Metellos," Nieraan muttered to himself from his perch on the roof of one of Jahnu's many buildings. "It's prettier and the people are a bit better off, but strip all that away and it's the same rotten sh*thole Metellos was." Not that that was necessarily a problem to Nieraan; he'd grown into the man he was today in such an environment. It would be safe to say that he thrived in places like this.
He glanced up at the sun. It was getting lower now, as the day moved to the late afternoon. That means it's time to head over to the meeting place. It would be short trip to the place; even shorter, since he'd be going over the rooftops and avoiding the crowds.
This was his first assignment out of the Sith Temple since he'd gotten in trouble with Iniquitous by getting caught up in the stir that Jack decided to kick up. Nieraan held no illusions that the higher ups trusted him, especially after he'd refused to bow to the Dark Overlord. Today's work was a test, and nothing more.
"A boring test at that," he mused aloud, watching the people of Jahnu mill about below him. He was to meet with some contact that had a droid core that supposedly had information on some group of Force sensitives. He'd been given some credits, for if they were needed, but how he got the part was completely up to him. If the contact proved to be agreeable, there probably wouldn't be any problems. If not... Nieraan's youthful face split in a dark grin that exposed his sharp canines. He was already irritated enough to be doing this busy work for Iniquitous; if the person he was meeting with decided to get uppity, they'd be in for a very unpleasant day.
Now the time was on him. He stood up from his crouch and stretched out his muscles before setting out, moving across the rooftops with an agile grace that he'd gained in so many years of exploring the streets of Metellos. He'd been in the city for most of the day, and had already done some scouting around to see the place where he was to meet with the contact. It was an alleyway behind Rook's Drinks. A fitting place to meet.
He ran along, growing ever nearer to the predetermined place until he felt something ripple out through the Force. The Firrerreo slowed to a halt, frowning as he probed deeper into what it was he was feeling. Having lived on Metellos, a world that was packed with people had the beneficial effect of helping Nieraan learn to phase out the 'noise' in the Force that was created by the huge crowds that came with cities. Add to that his considerable skill with sense, and he became quite good at picking out things that stood out from the background, and now something was standing out quite sharply.
For one, the source of it was a Force user. That much was easy enough to tell, and in and of it self, nothing to worry about; Nieraan was far from the only Force user in the Galaxy, or even Farrfin, for that matter. However, this one felt... good. There was something to it, that, as Nieraan drew nearer, he found himself not liking. The biggest problem seemed to be that the signature was coming in the direction that he was supposed to be going, and as he got closer to it, he had the feeling it was coming from exactly where he was supposed to meet the contact.
Sure enough, when he arrived, he peeked over the edge of the roof and saw two men standing down below. One fit the description of the man he was supposed to meet with . The other one was the one with the Force signature, and he was trying to talk to the man as well. Nieraan growled darkly down in his throat. If I've been set up, something's going to die.
He jumped down into the alleyway and landed in a crouch behind the contact. Now that he was closer, the Force sensitive man's aura reeked of good. It reeked of light.
"Alright," he growled as he stood to his feet and looked at the contact, "you have about ten seconds to tell me what's going on here, and you," he turned his yellow-eyed gaze to the Force user, "have about five to tell me who the hell you are."

Xue picked up another force sensitive coming closer, it was easy for him to sense those that had tainted their hearts with a so called evil called the dark side of the force, of course Xue did not see the force as a black and white as most Jedi and even Sith did. No Xue was a believer in the Potentium and the evil called the darkside was nothing other than the darkness within someone heart the force just let those people express their empty desires.
"Ah! looks like you have another buyer sir merchant" Xue said somewhat cheerfully, at least now he would learn what factions where concern about that particularly droid core. "My my a man on a mission" Xue mused inside his head as he watched the determination of the other younger looking man, yet he looked far more experienced for someone so young.
The bald man who was selling looked obviously more nervous he was about to speak, but Xue cut him short "Xue Aodh Jedi Knight, at your service, Call me Xue if you like" Said the rogue looking Jedi knight as he dropped in a low bow with a smile as he came back up both hands of the Jedi moved, his left when into a pulling movement while his right pushed outward. It was a simultaneous action, Xue was naturally strong at using the telekinetic aspect of the force, of course he had yet to fully exploit his limits as he had taken a path of a balance learning in the force, he gave equal time and dedication to each aspect of the force making him a quiet good jack of all trades, so while he may be good he could easily loose to those that focused more on one aspect of the force.
Invincible tendrils made from the force wrapped themselves around the man who was selling the droid core, they violently grabbed hold of the man and tossed him passed the Jedi Knight. The man scream was cut off as he hit the floor and in a spectacular display of agility managed to roll in the floor and use the force to ran into a standing position "I'll remember this Jedi!" He shouted as he ran past a corner and into the streets. Xue other action was to push the dumpster the man was sitting in the direction of Xue's "dark" companion, the dumpster was dragged along the tight corridor of the small alleyway, the metal screeched and protested at being thrown. It was a fairly obvious attack easily avoided by jumping atop the moving dumpster or pushing it back with another force push. Xue jumped back a couple of steps gracefully while smiling at his opponents "So how should I address you friend?" Xue lightsaber was already in his hand, but it was turned off this corridor was a little to small for actual lightsaber engagement.
Xue looked back "I should probably retrieve the droid core" he used the force to leap up wards and he reached out grabbing a pipe, resting his feet against the dirty wall he pushed himself to the rooftop of the not aptly named Rook's drinks. "See ya later boy!" he said happily as he reached the flat roof

The man with the red hair continued to talk to the merchant, making some offhand little quip about him having a second buyer. Nieraan didn't like the situation. Now that he was closer, the light that rested easily on the other Force sensitive's presence was unmistakable. Something was going to happen. He could feel it.
The man's next words only confirmed his suspicions.
Xue Aodh Jedi Knight, at your service, Call me Xue if you like."
A Jedi. Nieraan's sharp canines were bared as a dark grin spread across his face. This was an unforeseen complication, but that didn't necessarily make it a bad thing. Unlike many Sith, Nieraan held no true hatred for the Jedi. He didn't like them, and thought them fools oftentimes, with their drivel about the light and all that, but there was none of the burning abhorrence that so many of his comrades s seemed to harbor. That said, he was a Sith. That made this roguish man, who didn't even look like a Jedi, his enemy. And even if Nieraan did not hate him, he certainly wasn't going to let him get away without a fight.
Force only knew it would be more entertaining that just getting the droid core from the man. It had been too long since he'd really gotten to stretch his legs in combat, anyway. He only hoped this Jedi was strong, for his own sake.
Nieraan began to open himself up to the Force as the Jedi began to bow lowly. As he did, the Force began to whisper to his senses, warning of some upcoming action from his Jedi counterpart.
As the other man straightened, he made a motion with both of his hands. With one, he grabbed the man selling the droid core and pulled, sending him flying back and away from Nieraan. The other hand moved the dumpster and sent it screeching down the alleyway toward Nieraan.
Nieraan smirked. "You'll have to do better than that, Jedi."
The Force surged into him as the dumpster neared, and he reached out, using his own skill in Telekinesis to make his counter. He did not try to bat it back at the Jedi, or knock it to the side with another blast of the Force. Instead he grabbed it through the Force and just pulled it up as he dropped down into a low crouch. The dumpster continued on in the direction it had been pushed, rising up safely harmlessly over him. It crashed to the ground loudly a few meters behind him and tumbled about, spilling its contents on the ground before finally slamming into the side of one of the many buildings and coming to a halt.
Nieraan's yellow eyes glinted with amusement as he straightened up again. "You can call me Nieraan, Jedi." Before he could say anything, Xue was moving, bounding up and out of the alleyway. Nieraan snorted as he began to run. You're not getting away that easy. He ran a few steps to get some forward momentum and then leapt up at a wall, using the Force to power the muscles in his thighs and fuel his explosive leaps. When he hit the wall, he pressed off of it with his legs, bounding up and across the alley to the next building, and then repeating the process once again to put himself on the roof.
He called his main lightsaber to his hand with the Force and its dark gold blade burst to life in his hand as he leapt after the Jedi. He landed in front of him and grinned malevolently as he let lightning dance and crackle threateningly along his forearms. "Now, now, Jedi, why do you run?" He tilted his head to the side just a bit, as if he was actually curious. "We're enemies, you and I, whether you know it or not. Besides, if you leave, I might be forced to take my frustrations out on some of the populace. Wouldn't you hate that? To let a Sith run rampant among the innocent?"
Nieraan started backing away then, taking slow, measured steps toward the other side of the roof they both stood on. "What kind of guardian would you be then, hm?" He stopped near the edge of the roof and laughed, as if he'd heard some joke that no one else was aware of. "Actually, I think that might be a fun little test, don't you? Go after the man if you wish, I think I'll see if you're the guardian of the people that Jedi claim to be."
He let loose a brief burst of lightning toward the Jedi, to make sure he was staying on his toes, and then took a short hop back to drop down to the ground below. The entrance to Rook's Drinks stood before him now. A crowd of people surrounded him. Some stopped and cast strange looks in his direction, wondering what was with the crazy man who leapt from the rooftop. Nieraan only grinned more.
Normally, he wasn't the sort to launch into wantonly attacking crowds of people. It was a waste of time and energy. However, what better way to ensure the Jedi's attention remained on him? Even better, in doing so, he might get a rise out of the Jedi, which could only make things more entertaining. And so, as Nieraan stood to his full height once more, he reached out with his hand and swept it to the side, sending a number of people gathered around him flying back and away from him.
"Come stop me, Jedi!" he yelled. "Protect your people!"
Of course, finding that man with the droid core after this might prove to be difficult, but he could always just lie about things when he got back. Say the man had lied about it or something of the sort. Nieraan didn't really care either way.

Nieraan, Nieraan, Nieraan now what rhymes with Nieraan Xue mused as he walked away, only to have the sith jump in front of him Xue felt no intention of a direct attack so he just hopped back a couple of steps keeping his lightsaber pointed at the floor and turned off, it was a classical Niman stance excellent for both a quick counter attack.
"Now, now, Jedi, why do you run?" the would be sith spoke as if intrigued by Xue's behavior, the Jedi only tilted his head mimicking the sith with a amused smiled "Run? no, no you know Jedi have very full work schedule so you know places to be things to do and droid cores to retrieve, leaves very little time for relaxation" he said in a joking manner.
"We're enemies, you and I, whether you know it or not. Besides, if you leave, I might be forced to take my frustrations out on some of the populace. Wouldn't you hate that? To let a Sith run rampant among the innocent?" Nieraan continued to speak, looking for entertainment on the Jedi part, Xue only shrugged and shook his head.
"Here I thought we could be friends, you know share a drink or two and tell a couple of war stories and laughed at a couple of bad jokes" he laughed softly if only it went that way he regretted in his head "You do know most people around here aren't considered good people do you? and that more than ninety percent of those walking the street don't consider us Jedi their guardians AND that most of them will fight back if you push them around, wasting both lives and time in a meaningless fight" Xue said casually, while pushing several strands of blond hair from his eyes, while he watched the sithling carefully walk to the other side of the roof stop
"But I can't stand women and children crying so for their sake I'll guess I'll play along wit you for a while" he said as he began walking toward the Nieraan in a serious manner, while the sith kept trying to get a serious reaction out of Xue
"Actually, I think that might be a fun little test, don't you? Go after the man if you wish, I think I'll see if you're the guardian of the people that Jedi claim to be." Nieraan said while he unleashed a barraged of lightning at the Jedi Knight, Xue only had to turn on his violet lightsaber to keep the iconic sith ability at bay Ever the fatalist eh Nerry? Xue kept walking toward the side of the roof with a now turned off lightsaber. Guess I'll get the droid core later
Xue watched Nieraan actions in silence "Come stop me, Jedi!" he yelled. "Protect your people!" Xue right hand went in a pushing motion while the sith spoke, he unleashed a telekinetic weave of the force straight at the Nieraan, not to hurt him just to mearly interrupted his foolish actions. Xue jumped down landing where Nieraan had been formerly standing, by the time Xue landed his lightsaber was on, his face had no expression the Jedi knight was forcing back his almost permanent casual smile to try and show the sith he could be a serious person, well for at least short periods of time. Xue took a couple of strides thrusting his violet lightsaber at Nieraan mid section, fallowing his thrust with a slash across the Firrerreo chest. The Jedi knight blows where mostly of second form Makashii, while he wasn't still an adept with that form he used it to exchange a couple of blows with the sith, Xue jumped back a couple of steps and dropped into a niman position his chosen form of lightsaber combat.
"You do know, you just made my time here a little more difficult people around here ain't exactly Jedi friendly, Nerry" Xue said while reverting into his ever merry and relaxed expression.

Nieraan was pleased to see that his pushing had the desired effect. As he stood down below in the crowd, tossing them about, a blast of the Force hit him, knocking him off balance and forcing him to stumble a few steps to the side. He wasn't angry, though. No, that had been the entire point. His laughs rang out through the street as he spun his gold saber in tight arcs before him, almost willing Xue to come attack him.
The Jedi obliged. He jumped down to where Nieraan had been standing only a few moments ago, his purple blade finally alive in his hands. The smarmy grin he seemed to enjoy so much was gone now. If Nieraan was the sort, he might have giggled. Fortunately, he was not that sort, and simply grinned as Xue advanced and then he advanced himself, rushing to meet the Knight.
Their blades clashed loudly as they crossed each other. Nieraan met Xue's thrust with an arcing parry that easily pushed it safely away. Xue's slash was met not with Nieraan's blade, but with movement. As the purple lightsaber swept out at his chest, Nieraan took a half step back, leaning back along with it to ensure that the lightsaber blade passed by him without striking. Even has he did, he wore that somewhat cocky, somewhat eager grin. It had been too long since he'd had a good fight. Now that the opportunity was here, he was excited.
That excitement carried over into his posture. As Xue stepped back, Nieraan hopped lightly from foot to foot for a few moments, raring to go.
"You do know, you just made my time here a little more difficult people around here ain't exactly Jedi friendly, Nerry."
Nerry? Nieraan snorted and ignored that part. It was some stupid nickname that the fool thought would be amusing, no doubt. "Poor baby," he said, his voice dripping with condescension. "Force forbid that you have a hard day." He snorted again and rolled his shoulders to loosen them up, sighing satisfactorily. When he looked back up, some of the contempt in his voice was showing in his expression, in the dangerous glint in his eyes. "Some of us have had difficult lives, while you lot hide safely away in your Temple. How dare I make things hard for you!"
Nieraan spit on the ground then and looked at the Jedi, sizing him up. "Have you considered that these people might have a reason for not liking you, Jedi?" He snorted a started to pace, walking in a slow circle around Xue. "Of course not. How could someone dislike a Jedi, model for right and good that they are?"
He paused near where he'd started his circle and brought his saber up into a ready stance and grinned malevolently. "Anyway, be on guard Jedi."
In an instant he was moving, using the Force to push him forward faster. His lightsaber roared as he neared the Jedi, crying out for blood. When he got within saber range, he suddenly halted himself, making a hard vertical slash down. As he did that, he dropped into a roll to the side, licking out at Xue's ankle with his gold blade.
Nieraan came out of the roll then, coming up into a low crouch with his weight centered and with his hand moving forward. A blast of the Force erupted forward, kicking up dust and loose bits of trash around the two combatants as it hurtled toward Xue.
He might not kill the Jedi, but Nieraan intended to wipe that stupid grin from his face.

"Some of us have had difficult lives, while you lot hide safely away in your Temple. How dare I make things hard for you!" Xue took note of the sithling words, that was a little hint Nieraan had let slip by that would eventually reveal his past to the Jedi knight apparently dark force user loved to say little hints of how life had been unfair to them or to the ones they loved, perhaps Nieraan would with the passing of time reveal his regrets and open his heart to the good in him with enough influence of the Jedi knight passive yet always active ability, Xue Aodh most remarkable and out of the ordinary ability was that even unwillingly he could form bonds through the force faster than almost any "regular" Jedi and even with his enemies, regardless if they remained foes for the rest of their time alive. One of the main reasons why Xue while outgoing and merry happy was careful around people.
"Sure, you can put all but a handful in Jedi in there, most grow sheltered lives and while merciful as we may be so very few can actually relate with what the war orphan being abused by his drunk adoptive father, is going through or what the little slave is suffering under the weight of a harsh mistress... or the loneliness of that rich kid with famous parents that always seem to be missing when he needs them the most" Xue said malancholicly while scratching the hair in his chin "I'm probably with that lot of Jedi that will never truly understand what the really really little guy goes through, but hey if they choose to trust a shifty looking guy like me I'm more than willing to help them carry their burdens"
"Have you considered that these people might have a reason for not liking you, Jedi?" Nieraan spoke trying to hinder Xue determination, so far he did not succeed "Of course not. How could someone dislike a Jedi, model for right and good that they are?" At those last words, Xue couldn't help but laugh hard almost to the point he could have cry
"I think Nerry you underestimate me, I'm not one of those sagely or all to goodie paladins of light, heck I'm not even sure why I'm still part of the Jedi order after all I've done, and I don't really care if they" Xue said while pointing at the crowd that had gather around the two combatants "Like me, I don't care if they shoot me, curse me or kill me... If I can give a spark of hope for a better their future then so be it, let them hate me for taking away their last death stick or arresting the dude selling it, so they can have a live a little more cleanly" Xue smiled as Nieraan charged seeking the Jedi knight blood "You see I'm a idiot" Xue said just as his purple blade blocked the horizontal attack, he watched from the corner of his eye as the golden blade sought to remove the Jedi knight from his ankle. Xue jumped back forcing both legs up in time to avoid the golden blade, leaving him in a fetus position in the middle of the air.
Xue planted both feet hard at the floor, his danger sense told him that Nieraan would attack using the force this time, the Jedi knight was in no position to dodge such attack that close. So Xue simply closed his eyes and erected a barrier between him and the force push, the wall was built fast enough to take the brunt of the attack but still was not strong enough to soak all of the force of the impact, so it was no surprised the Jedi knight was sent rolling a couple of feet in the air. Xue twisted his body to land again using the force he was propelled with to roll way from the sith in safety, he used the force of the impact to stand up and stumble several steps backward before hitting a large burly Weequay, that managed to stop the staggering Jedi Knight "Thanks a bunch" Xue said sweetly as the Weequay pushed him back into the fray in disgust and annoyance.
Xue walked back to the sith with his lightsaber drawn once more "I'm beginning to think I'm rubbing you the wrong way Nerry, am I too disgusting for your taste?" Xue said again in his joking manner, hoping now to see to what extent this sith was using the so called dark side of the force.
Xue jumped back into the fray, now using movements of his favored form, Niman. He slashed looking to hit Nieraan forearm while getting ready for the inevitable come back which Xue cleverly countered by flicking his right wrist, which forced pulled a tin can that was lying on the floor behind the Sithling aiming to hit the darksider on the back of the head which gave time to Xue hoop back a couple of steps changing his stance back to Makashi "I would prefer if we could talk this over a couple of drinks don't ya think it be more easy for both of us?" The knight remarked happily as he once again moved withing range of Nieraan twin sabers, while the violet saber of he Jedi knight sought to pierce Nieraan shoulder but leaving a chance for him to block in case his attack failed, which most certainly would. "I most certainly hope you can do better than this!" Xue spoke between blows while smirking.

"Too disgusting for me?" Nieraan snorted derisively at the Jedi as he watched him recover from his most recent impact with the burly Weequay. "Jedi, I'm sure you are many things, but I doubt you know the meaning of the word 'disgusting.' I think 'annoying' might be a better one." While Nieraan held nothing personal against this Xue Aodh, he was starting to annoy Nieraan, with his stupid overly-cheerful demeanor. No matter. He'll be dead soon enough.
Nieraan leapt forward to meet Xue when he jumped back into the fray, his golden blade lighting up the area around him as he swung it. Like Xue, Nieraan was a practitioner of Niman, though it wasn't his favored form; that was Jar'Kai, the variant meant for the use of two blades. For the moment, though Nieraan only used one of his sabers. He'd just hate to kill the Jedi too quickly, before he could have some fun with him.
Xue's strike at Nieraan's forearm was turned aside and answered with a cut out at his knee. However, Xue was already moving back out of the way, and Nieraan felt the Force stir behind him, and turned his head just in time for a can to hit him in the side of the head. It didn't hurt, really, but it was irritating. Nieraan was starting to notice a pattern with things this Jedi did, in that department.
"No, Xue, I don't think drinks will do," he answered flatly, knocking the thrust to his shoulder aside with a casual flick of his wrist and responding with a sweeping kick toward Xue's ankles before hopping back a step or two. Again the Jedi taunted him, challenging him to do better. Nieraan laughed darkly. "Well, if you really want me to, I'd just hate to refuse you."
His hand went down to his second lightsaber hilt and the dark blue blade came to life, humming softly next to its gold brother. Nieraan shifted his weight a bit, settling into a semi-ready stance as he watched Xue, studying him for a moment. Then he smirked. "Why do you fight, Jedi?"
The Force stirred at Nieraan's beckoning, reaching out to Xue's Weequay friend from earlier and lifting him up into the air. He struggled there, against bonds that he couldn't see or break, before Nieraan motioned with his hand, sending him flying towards the Jedi. Little time would be wasted after that, as Nieraan called the Force to his legs to fuel an explosive leap towards Xue.
Both of his sabers were blurs of color as Nieraan began his assault, striking with a high blow at Xue's right shoulder with his blue blade, and coming in with a low lick down at his ankle with the gold one the instant after. Another blow came after that, as Nieraan rotated the dark blue saber down and around, as if coming in for a blow at Xue's side, but it was a trick. The motion stopped short and then with his other hand, the Force exploded out, sending another powerful push at the Jedi from point blank range.

Xue bitterly smiled while he watched Nerry draw a second lightsaber, the Jedi shifted slowly to a Soresu stance preparing for the incoming slaughter "Why do you fight, Jedi?" that comment made Xue close his eyes and remained with the bitter smile thinking of his past "Who knows?" he said no hint of sarcasm or even a joke could be heard.
Upon hearing the protest of a Weequay Xue spared a quick look, and saw the alien being lifted and hurled at him just as the sithling sprang into action. Seeing no other way, Xue powered his legs with the strength of the force and jumped away meeting Nieeran momentum with his own. He heard how the Weequay landed on a group of the many onlookers around the duel, who with each passing second seemed to grow, as they enjoyed the fight between both Xue and Nieeran.
Xue's purple lightsaber met the blow aimed up high, and he jumped back narrowly avoiding the golden saber from below, Xue felt a warning through the force so he readied his right hand with kinetic force and just as Nerry threw a mighty force push so did the Jedi knight, both struggled as the force clashed between them and it finally ended with Xue being blasted a couple of feet away from Nieraan, he landed on his back hard. Xue stood up in a swift motion not bothering to dust himself off, he was a little annoyed that Nieeran had involved civilians into their fight. Xue charged back into the fray but instead of delivering a blow with his saber, he unleashed a short burst of Esmeralda looking lightning at the sith, it was not enough to be considered deathly or even potentially harmful, but it was aimed more as a shock factor that hopefully created an opening for the Jedi knight.
"Let me tell you why I fight, I fight to...." a warning came from the force just as Xue's lightsaber came down seeking to sever one of Nerry hands, but the blow never conected as the Jedi knight jumped back a couple of steps just as someone said "Shoot'm up!" screamed the Weequay who Nieeran had previously thrown around, he had friends lots of them. Twelve thugs drew their blasters and began shooting both the Jedi and the Sith warriors, and people began to ran as a rain of lasers filled the street.
