As Xero followed Vesperian, in the distance he could see the comm station. Standing out grotesquely against kashyyk's beauty. The compound was surrounded by a fence and clearing. Vesperian and Xero slowed down, apparently Vesp thought it was alright to talk. " Ok we're here." Vesperian said as he crouched down, pulling his bag off of his back. He withdrew a small hand held device, on the screen were several red dots.
" Slowly" Vesperian said, as he approached one of the red dots. He lifted one of kashyyk's giant leafs, underneath lay a black box. Xero knew instantly, a motion sensor. Vesperian turned back to Xero " Xero, It not safe to go along the ground anymore. We've gotta go up"
"Now how do you propose we do that? Climb a tree and jump in?!" Xero said jokingly.

" As matter of fact..." He gave Xero a wry smile and lept . His hands gripped hold of the hard bark. It cut into his skin even through the many soft, protective layers of his robes and cloak. It stung slightly but it wasn't noticeable. His hands soon found little knots to grip and slowly he edged himself up wards.
Height always gave an advantage to the the person who had it and did help. Vesper saw, high up the tree in great detail the layout of the compound and the number of zabracks around. It was a fair distance from the fencing to the actual radio building. There was no cover of any sort the he duck and dive behind, just plain, short, open, grass land. He saw the repetitive back and forth sweep of a camera.
It was hard to tell from this distance what the timing on the sweep was.
" 20... no maybe.... 30 seconds" He mused. It couldn't be longer much longer than at. A plan began to formulate t=in his head as he spied a generator on the other side of the compound. The idea mingled in merged until he quickly had rough outline of plan.
" Xero I'm going to need one of those Demo charges." He called down.
" Also need two distractions ... 1 to get in and 1 out. By the looks of things they have an external generator. I need you to take it out so get a few more seconds to get to the compound before their back up kicks in."
" I don't care what you do just make it big and make it flashy. 5 minutes later set off another one so i can get out. i won't go until you signal me. Is that ok ? "

"As matter of fact..." Vesperian said, with a wry smile. With that he lept up into one of the great trees. Xero figured Vesp could see the whole compound from that height. Xero could feel Vesp trying to formulate some kind of plan, probably an entry plan.
"Xero I'm going to need one of those Demo charges." Vesp called down from the tree. With that Xero reached into the bag they had brought, containing explosives and other various items. Xero used the force to aid him, as he tossed the charge up to Vesp.
"Also need two distractions ... 1 to get in and 1 out. By the looks of things they have an external generator. I need you to take it out so get a few more seconds to get to the compound before their back up kicks in" He called down again. " I don't care what you do just make it big and make it flashy. 5 minutes later set off another one so i can get out. i won't go until you signal me. Is that ok ? "
"Alright can do, I brought a few smaller explosives, Ill run to the other side of the compound and lob them into the field. Sound good?" Xero called up.

OOC:(really sorry its taken me so long to post, real life hasn't given any time off but thats all over now)
" Yeah thats fine," Vesper called back down . Great fully, with an out stretched hand he grasped at the the charges, their sleek black covering feeling smooth in his hand. Carefully he examined them, avoiding the control panel with his long fingers. No use blowing himself up. With great care he balanced in the tree rising up from his sitting position that he had previously occupied. With one hand clasped round the charges, his other hand gripped the bark of the the ancient tree. He hadn't noticed it before, the wind. IT whistling between the sparse honeycomb-like foliage. The smaller branches that partially hid him from view shook back wards and forwards every so often with periodic gusts.
" Guess i should get in position"
The charges themselves were small enough to fit comfortably on his belt. Vesper couldn't help feeling slightly uneasy caring items that potentially could blow him in millions of microscopic pieces if set off. Even though he knew that it was extremely unlikely. However he wasn't sure how the casing was going to hold up with what he was about to do. As it was he knew he had no chance of being able to leap over the fence fro where he was now , even Jedi, with their amazing powers had their limitations.
He steady himself as another gust of wind hit him. Nearby there was another tree with enough foliage and close enough so that get into the compound. Vesper aimed and more steady looking branch slightly lower down than where he currently was. With a deep breath he ran .
His foot left the bark and for only a moment he hung, a swirling figure in the wind. Then almost as soon as he found himself in the air he was back on another tree. He skidded violently as feet met the smooth bark. His left foot carried by the motion of his body slid off the bark . His right foot follow immediately. Quick Vesper grabbed the rapid disappearing branch with both hands. Before another gust of wind hit he pulled himself up . He could hear his heart pounding away in his ears and his chest reverberate inside his head the frantic and rhythmical beat of his heart.
"Looks like I gotta wait" he murmured as he watched for the fire works to begin.

((In here marius))
Ramseye and Mariani made thir way towards the downed sattelite. all along the way they saw light craft carrying some medics, troops and some scouting parties past them. They were running on foot, and going rather fast.... but still the hover crafts wizzed on by. Finally they arrived on the scene.
Ramseye turned to mari and looked at her contorted face, as she was breathing in from thier long sprint. "Longer then you thouhgt? what do you sense....I am getting a trail heading east by north east. Perhaps you feel the same trail? If I'm correct we have found our prey."

Xero heard Vesperians response, he was alright with Xeros plan. With that Xero ran off in the other direction, circling around to get on the other side of the compound. Then it hit him like a durasteel door. He felt him. He could feel the mans dark presence. Pulling out his comm, "Vesperian I was right, theres Dark Jedi here. Ive fought this one before, hes tough. Be careful, they're close!"
He started his run again. No he thought. He barely survived the last encounter; and now the man had reason for vengeance. Xero had injured the siths shoulder. Xero wiped the thoughts from his mind. Focusing on the task at hand. He was calm, and focused.
As he rounded the center, he leaped up onto one of the giant tree's branches. He whipped one of his small explosives into the field. Right as it exploded alarms started going off, Xero knew Vesperian would know now was the time. Zabrak soldiers began to pour out into the field.
Xero wasted no time, he was on the move. He knew that jedi was coming, and if he could feel him, he was sure the man could feel him. He began rounding the complex again, swiftly moving through the trees. He had five minutes before launching the next distraction.

The dark lush canopy of Kashyyyk passed quickly in her vision, a blur of black-green, the ever-echoing sounds of the human’s heavy tread upon the wooden planking that served as this place’s walkways, the boards twisted and weathered in many places by the moisture that a forest such as this must accumulate. Occasional spheres of illumination passed by for a few moments, and the stench of burning pitch, a sigil of how obviously technologically selective the Wookies were. Yet, hardly any of the giant fur covered people were to be seen upon this pathway, having left the multitude around the area they had landed at. Nothing seemed to move at all, Kashyyyk seemed static in their swift passing, a blur of life that seemed to pass so quickly and was yet so abundant.
The wretched stench of burnt metal permeated the thick vibrant air, acrid and thin compared to the heady earthen scent of life. As the duo neared the site of the explosion, the scent grew more pronounced. Nearly at it, the human stopped, standing rigidly, exposed to everything in his surroundings, fire raging in the near distance around the broken satellite. But the white clad Falleen had stopped further back, not walking into the small clearing that the human had stopped at, first scanning the area with the Force, and her eyes. Yet, her keen senses did not sense a nearby threat, nothing tasting of danger to her. Thus, with a glower into the near by treetops, she strode forward to stand near Ramseye.
“Longer then you thought? What do you sense?” her companion shot off the questions quickly, his malice filled eyes sweeping the pathways in an easterly direction. After a brief pause he continued. “I am getting a trail heading east by north east. Perhaps you feel the same trail? If I'm correct we have found our prey.”
She did not know what he meant in the first question. The, for her, light run was hardly taxing whatsoever, her superior Falleen form capable of much harsher exertions than a human’s, along with her lung capacity being more than double theirs. Perhaps he mistook her deep breathing, an attempt to sort out the various scents, searching for the stench of humans nearby, for panting… Does he not know that Falleen are physically superior to humans. Never would we allow for such weaker species to see us pant, a feat difficult to accomplish at that… The thoughts of the other Sith were trivial to her, and thus were thrust out of her mind.
Mariani was not one who was quick to judge, or one that trusted supposed trails. Her whole life had been dedicated to tracking people, to infiltrating Darkside cults, and hiding from them. Tracking the people she had spent all of her life with, the Jedi, would be just as easy if not easier. They were not trying to hide anything, nor did they have reason to have the knowledge of how to hide themselves as well as many Darksiders, especially not the run of the mill Knights Mariani guessed would be sent upon this mission, especially with most of their stealthier units utilized to spy upon the growing Sith Empire.
The 50-year-old Falleen stalked forth, laying her hand upon a piece of the damaged satellite, which had landed near the human, reaching out with the Force. Immediately, the skill of Psychometry made use of itself, the highly trained skill pulling out the near hologram quality stream of images into her mind’s eye. A sudden looming form erupting from the canopy, crashing violently into the satellite. She knew now what to look for to find the ones who had created the destruction. Her violet eyes swung left and right, looking for a mere fragment of the spaceship what was not entangled or flaming near the site of the crash, doubting she would be able to slip unnoticed through the thick gaggle of Zabraks trying to contain the incident.
A soft crunch emanated from under the thick sole of the long black boot, sharps of brittle metal lodging themselves into the thick cellulose planking, parting the fibers of the wood and digging in deeply, ragged edges sticking up at odd angles, scoring deep indents in parts of the Falleen’s footwear.
The Sith Assassin lifted her foot swiftly, yet gingerly, bringing her sharp knee to her bust, heart-shaped face sinking down so that almond shaped oculars could peer down at what she had stepped upon. It was indeed what she had been looking for, the color of the metal matching that of starship’s hull, with some thick clear glass, assumably part of the command deck’s viewport. A venomous smile passed over her orange painted lips, lithe hand darting downward to wrench the piece of metal from its place in the wood underfoot, Psychometric images once again flooding through her mind, picking out those that were needed.
“I think, human, that you have some company here. The one who gave you that,” Mariani stated, pointing the location of his shoulder wound. “Is one of the Jedi present, he is working with one other. The two abandoned the ship, parachuting before it crashed.”
She walked hurriedly to a tree near the walkway, many meters away. She placed her hand against its trunk, diving into its strong Presence. Through it, she saw what had happened only 20, maybe fewer minuets ago, the two Jedi slouching a few meters away by a downed tree, heading not east, but west. She peered coldly over her shoulder at the human, maybe he was good at fighting, but he was no Assassin. Without a word, or thought to Ramseye, Mariani took off at a sprint across the sprawling wooden catwalk, turning sharply at the nearest western intersection, viewing in the distance, the top of a communications tower, the plentiful antenna blaring their red light in small yet noticeable specks, growing closer by the second as the strong, distantly amphibious, legs of the Falleen female thudded into the dense planks, caring not for silence for one moment of her life, but instead focusing upon catching up to the Jedi, and doing it fast, but never once stupid enough to let her Presence go uncloaked. When she neared 30 meters of the place, she slowed to her normal, eerily silent pace.
An explosion erupted nearby, brilliant tendrils of hungry flame reaching to the canopied sky. The Marauder, she decided, would be better suited to go in first, with her bringing up the rear. As if melting away, the ivory clad Sith Assassin dissolved into seeming nothingness, the Force bending the light around her, soothing invisibility cloaking her like a second skin, happily, she touched Ramseye’s mind, letting him know she was merely awaiting the first blood to be spilled…

"Ok, stay focused Xero." His voice crackled as it entered the comm." One thing at a time....." Vesper paused monetarily his grip around he comm tightening. It was great rarity, words failing him. He tried to collect his thoughts from the jumbled mass that Xero had turned them into. They had been so clear, so simple and now. Now simplicity had been thrown out of the window. "We'll deal with this, then we keep moving. We can't get bogged down and we can't let them catch us. You better alert the others. This is exactly what they looking for," he said back calmly into the comm that nestled safely in the palm of his hand. His grip loosed slowly, the sound of his own voice soothing him. Although the words that came flowing from his mouth were somewhat forced, distinctly controlled. He hid rising sense of eagerness, his excitement, his anticipation of what was to come. The comm slipped quickly back into his pocket, underneath the earthy brown cloak protecting it, as through the grey, murky, darkness of the day brilliant red light exploded into view showering the trees and the buildings. A great red scar cutting into the skin of the sky.
The Zabracks nearby flocked to wards it like moths to a flame.
"Good, time to move,"
He lept down over the wire meshing of the fence. No longer did it hinder his entrance. Immediately as he hit the ground he fell into a roll spring out of it with all his might. He legs pumped rapidly as in the distance the motion camera remanded still.
" 5 seconds," he thought spurring himself on further. "faster, faster, faster!".
The camera remain still for a few moments more and then came back to life, the unmistakable sound of power once again running through it once more. The camera began its sweep once more . Vesper swore loudly as the vision of the camera edged closer to him. He had bartered on a few seconds.
It was going to be touch and go but he just managed to reach it in time. His white blade slicing through the camera as it was about to fall on him. He need to rest but he would not allow himself such a luxury. They couldn't afford it just then. He could feel the cold steal pressing against his back as he sidled along the wall. The build itself was design like a large right angle triangle with on top of a larger rectangular base,which jutted out as a partial base for the dish. The dish was amounted partial on both of the structures along the hypotenuse and the base.
Vesper hurriedly entered into the shadow of the big dish keeping out sight from all those around. He retracted his blade and reached for the charges clipped on the belt. Carefully he placed one on the dish and one on the wall exactly opposite to the other. It would be more than the enough for the job. He knew how liberal Xero was when it came to the strength of his explosives. He wouldn't be surprised if it leveled more than just the building.

Ramseye sat leaning against a tree thinking about how ridiculous it was of his partenr to have rushed off as suh to then wait for him. It was only a few minutes before when Ramseye had been discussing the plan of where to follow the enemy to, when she had run off. Clearly she thought him a fool, but it was of no concern to him. Now she was the one relying on him. Not only was she counting on him for the distraction, but as the tank of the operation, he would be the one combating them initally. And in knowing that he was in no rush to go fighting two jedi, but it would seem, that if he did not... his partner would think him full of cowardice. And he would not be pt down and demoted to such a weak simpleton. So.... he sighed, and then rubbed his temple, then stretched to his tippy toes, inhaling at the same time. "well.... that devil of a woman clearly has no patience.." He did a practice lunge to flex the muscles, then as if a switch flipped when rocketing forward. Each step he took grew wider and wider, until it was if he was gliding toward the enemy. He vaulted up a tree, and onto a thick branch, then tossing his weight across to another branch, the limb of the tree bending slightly for a mere second till he jutted across to the next one. he'd gone 3/4ths of the way there when he began to slow his pace, leaves catching up with him now swirling arouynd and past him. He jumped down from the tree he was on, rolled as he hit the ground and then lunged forward again, sprinting towards the loud bangs and flames of a bomb exploding. As if on purpose, He raised his anger and emotion of hatred around him, giving off dark waves, that he was sure would be fealt all over. The hate was palpable around him, is malicious grin sharpening across his face with every leap he made. He wanted them to feel him coming, to cower in fear, to wonder what sort of monstrocity was headed there way. What he wanted was for them to know that there moment was at hand, and it would be there last.
((for marius, I have flown right past you, and am about to run straight into the engagement zone.. feel free to post your characters feelings on my abruptness or irrationality =) ))
((For the jedi..... Im here.... and i am hoping you feel me with every part of your being.... go on sense me... fear me.... for i am here >=) ))

From the shadows Vesper waited calmly controlling his franticly beating heart. He found it hard to control himself . If he'd had his way the Zabracks at the base would have been 'removed' and no one would have survived to tell the tale. He had no qualms about killing them dead on the spot. But such, as it was they were forced to hid in the shadows and act . The plan did have it merits but Vesper was beginning to think at what cost.
He slid further back into the shadows as another group of Zabracks ran past to wards the burning generator. He looked down at the timer that was clasped to his wrist.
4:30
He cursed inwardly he though it had been longer. Though this probably would have been worse it would have meant Xero was late. Something int he forest had held him up. Thought of the Dark Jedi crossed his mind but he banished the thoughts the depths of his mind. It wasn't the time to freak out. Xero seemed to be on the edge. He remembered the agitation in his voice when he had sense their presences.
Then he felt it the wave of anger, the ripples of Sadness and the roar of loathing. It was if a Rancor had stepped on him such was the crushing force of the darkness. It was darkness far great than his badge of Honor. The was someone who had forsaken the light entirely.
He quickly pulled put the comm and spoke into the tiny device
" Set off the second explosion and meet me on the other side of the compound not the side we were previously one. Unless you wish certain death."

"Set off the second explosion and meet me on the other side of the compound not the side we were previously one. Unless you wish certain death." Vesper suggested.
Xero offered no response, no time for talking now. He could feel the man growing closer. His raw evil burning at Xero's mind. Xero pushed away the fear again, maybe there was a chance to defeat this dark jedi. This time he had vesperian. Xero continued to vault through the trees at immense speeds.
The time for the second distraction was nigh. Xero pulled out two of the explosives, using the force to guide them into the field, creating an even larger explosion. This time the zabracks were on scene faster, as they were alert to something. Xero continued on his path, using the force to allow him an unnatural speed. Vaulting from limb to limb, he knew he was faster than that man; so he wasn't worried about getting to vesperian before the fight. It was the fight that worried him, this man was strong, Xero feared a loss. But that in itself was a path to darkness, he let the idea out of his mind, continuing to Vesperian.

(OOC: Oh, I did not catch your mistake there. Mariani was cloaked when she was sitting upon the rock, actually cloaked from the moment she descended the cliff to the ground onward, no one knew that she was there, until you left and she revealed herself to Ramseye. XD Sorry about the confusion, but no one aside from Ramseye knows that she even exists.)

Even where he was the shadows could not shield him from the light. It swept over everything like an indomitable wave . What was once shadow disappeared as if by magic. Then moments later reappeared accompanied by a roar like thunder. Vesper glanced up wards. The grey of the day had been replaced by far more in the vibrant colors. The light was now a blood red mess lanced with wisps of orange and yellow. It was like looking up at the rarest of sunsets but Vesper knew that their was far less beautiful or natural reason behind the colors and with that they lost all of their all capturing beauty.
The roaring sound and bright lights were followed by burning pieces of shrapnel flying high over head. Their long fiery tails cutting through the sky. They remained him of shooting stars or Dragon's tails. Dragon's tails.
Thats what he used to call when he was small and the world was far less serious.
He lept out from withing the shadows neatly dodging the a small piece of burning grass as he landed. The fence was far closer to the building on this side so he had a far shorter distance to run. He did it in a fraction of the time it took him to reach the station.
'Purple'
The light whizzed just over his left shoulder. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believed that he hadn't notice them in all their spiky headed glory, with their their bulky blasters. Two Zabracks shooting at him from where he had been moments before right in front of the burning grass. He tried to turn skidding as his whole body twisted to face them.
" They can never know we were here"
That was one of the principles of the mission . They couldn't be seen. They had to die. Their was no alternative. Vesper thrust a hand out to wards the burning earth. The fire bent to his will and rose up high, higher than it ever possible could have without his his help. It changed from an earthy red color to that of neon blue and then fell, straight down upon the helpless Zabracks.
Vesper hoped they died instantly. The flame. At that temperature. The pain would have been was unimaginable. Not stooping Vesper made for the fence vaulting it in one spring. He landed neatly on the out stretch branch of tree on the other side. Xero was near by he could sense it. Moments later his fellow jedi appeared below.
" Come on, Hurry," he called jumping down to forest floor. He placed his hand on Xero shoulder, almost pushing him along. His other hand found the detonator in his pocket and squeeze it tightly between his fingers.

Ramseye, now perched on a branch breathed in the smell of smoke. the very stench that echoed in his mind, replaying the scene over and over again. a bomb having been detonated, and now another one.... and this one only a stones throw away. ( aka 50- 60 yards) The rush of air passing by him and abruptly slowing down as the bomb went off. He was closing in on his target and now it became clear they were trying to cover thier tracks while wasting the zabracks resources and time.
Enough was enough, he closed his eyes and breathed in slowly... smelling the smoke once again. Then, he opened them ever so quickly. The world had become an opaque shade of gray, and he and mariani were dim shades of red. But now he looked to his left, in the opposite direction of the explosion, and caught slight flickering glimpses of a slightly blue light. He smirked, then twisted his neck downwards and closed his eyes once again. When he reopened them, the color had returned to the world around him. He chased on, jumping, sprinting, leaping faster and faster.... he was catching up to his pray.... only a few meters behind them now.... he could hear the rustling of the branches as they jumped from limb to limb. He was close now... and so he used the force, pulling his saber from his belt, allowing it to fly into his hands. He felt the cool metal grip slide into position.
Step, jump....leap, leap again, Now! Ramseye ignited his saber and brought it down along an arching pathway towards a man in formal jedi clothing, as he came down from a jump. (( that would be you kubb))

Vesper hurriedly pushed Xero further through the undergrowth when the the sound a saber igniting met his ear. The sounds was so... distinctive.
Even in this forest full of life and sounds that one sound, the sound he understood far better than any other was as clear as and as sharp as if it was there was nothing but the saber and himself. it caused old emotions to well upside and the hairs on this neck stand to attention. '
He turned to see the dark figure flying to wards the pair of them. Instinctively he drew both his sabers.
' They've found us...'
It Was as much as he could think before the figure smashed hard into his body. He was lucky though. He just enough time to get his sabers in the way. It took both of them to block the arced swing. His own sabers came down quickly above the red saber of his attacker and forced it away for his valuable body down to Vespers left hand side. From the style of the attack Vesper knew this was no novice. He done this before. Their had been other in the exact position he was. Vesper struggled to pin the sabers in place as it was at the moment they were in a dead lock. If he even thought about removing one of his sabers he was dead .The the thick, viscus red glow covered his entire body piercing the white light of his own sabers.
As the dead lock continued sparks began to appear. On landed on the edge of Vespers robe and began to smolder and smoke. Vesper watched as the patch began to burn. Using the force he sent small jet of fire from the patch out st the legs of the sith causing a large part of his own lower robe to be engulfed in flames alonf with with that of the siths. At that he jumped back wards trying to get some sort of distance between them.
' Xero time to fight,' he called as landed next to his fellow jedi. He just hoped they could survive the battle. Dark side was strong in this one. But then again, so was his own.

AS he sat in mid air for several seconds pressing hard agasint the two sabers that had been brought up at the last second to prevent Ramseye from beheading the jedi, Ramseye had begun thinking about using the force to send the man flying agasint the tree behind him.
However this idea was null and void for suddenly a small ember flew towards Ramseye's lower robe and began to smolder... which only served as a distraction, being that it only began to burn slightly. this required Ramseye to repel back to another branch, and pat the flame out with his hand. At this, he laughed, for this was a cowardly move, and a dumb one. While yes, the jedi had now jumped back to unite with his fellow jedi counterpart, he had positioned himself directly beneath a large branch which was already starting to waiver. Ramseye assisted in the break, and tugged it down towards the jedis head. seeing as how these branches were so wide and large, Ramseye couldnt control it perfectly, but it was no matter, for this large projectile was more then enough to stretch the distance required to block all escape routes except in the direction of ramseye. Thus, the only way for this jedi to evade the branch was to jump in the direction of ramseye or cut through such a limb. Either way Ramseye was already thinking ahead and had vaulted forward precisley after tugging the branch downward. His saber still in full life, buzzed as it came up in preperation for a swing.
(( im flying forwards at you getting ready to strike at you in the caste that you jump towards me, meanwhile a very large branch is plummeting towards you and your freind. this branches are very big, else we would not be able to stand and walk around on them so easily. ))
