A smile crosses his face, as he can hear and feel her pain. Normally the amount of pain he is giving her would knock out a normal person, and possibly kill them, but he knew that she could withstand the pain which was more to his delight. He then holds her head up to look at him, as he stops the lightning.
"Mara, give in... Just give in to the dark side and this will all be over... You can still live a healthy life, with money, power and most of all respect... Give in to your urges, Mara Jade, give in to the darkness that calls upon you... Your hatred, I can feel it... You want to kill me, you want to strike me down... Yes... Yes... Open yourself to me... Stand by my side, and together we can rule the galaxy..."
The Sith Master then let's go of her head and starts to run his hand from her neck all the way down to her wounded leg, and starts to open the wound even more.
"The Jedi will not come and save you... Even if they were to try, this planet is covered with molten lava, not to mention there are several Sith that guard this facility. There is no escape from this facility... Now, give in to the pain Mara, give in to the pain and realize your destiny..."
He then takes his hand from her wound, and licks the blood from his fingertips and then places his hand back into the wound a little deeper now and goes up to whisper into her ear.
"Let it take over you Mara, don't fight it... Don't fight it... Allow the pain to comfort you..." As he says that, he releases some more force lightning into her body, a bit stronger this time, but not enough to kill her.

Mara's breath is coming in short gasps and her eyes are stinging with tears she refuses to shed. She looks up at him with pain and stubbornness written clearly on her face. "My name...is Mara Jade Skywalker...and will never stand...by...your side."
Then he digs his fingers in the wound further and zaps her with a more powerful burst of lightning. Mara does give in to the pain this time, no longer fighting it, and allows her mind to plunge back into the blankness of unconsciousness.

The Sith Master then stops the torture, as he sees that she has now become unconcious yet again.
"A pity really, Mara, a pity that you will not join my side..."
He then looks over at the Sith Acolyte standing to the side.
"Leave her be for now... When she awakens again, let me know... She is close to joining us, I can feel it... But, for now she is still valuable to us..."
He then takes one last look at Mara, and then leaves her at the hands of the Sith Acolyte and the guards as he makes his way out of the room.

Several hours pass before Mara regains consciousness, still hanging by her wrists in the interrogation room. She doesn't want to alert the Sith Acolyte that is standing guard that she is awake, so she keeps her eyes closed and her head bowed.
Mara can sense that the other Jedi are making their way to Mustafar, and, by her nature, she wants to be able to fight her way off this rock. Using what limited time she has before she's discovered awake, Mara slips into a healing trance.

Deep down in the lower levels of the Mining Facility, the three Sith Masters are meditating on the form, in a triangular position. With the Dark Side of the Force swirling all around them, one of them ends up opening his eyes, and looks to the other three.
"The Jedi may be here soon... I have a feeling that the Jedi we have was indeed not bluffing when she said, "The Jedi will be coming soon..." so we must be prepared..."
The second Sith Master then opened his eyes, and looked to the other two.
"Patience, for the Jedi will reveal themselves soon enough. If they are coming for her, then what shall we do to prepare ourselves for them? Shall we kill the Jedi, and the boy?"
The third Sith Master then opened his eyes, and looked back to the other two.
"No... the Jedi may prove valuable, for if the Jedi are indeed coming, then we can use her to our advantage. It is likely that the other Skywalker will be coming along. If he were to see that we have her hostage, and alive, then he will have no choice but to use her..."
The other Masters then nodded in agreement.
"Yes...Yes... Use her we shall... And the boy we shall use as well... For Starkiller is no where to be found. If he has gone rouge, then we can use the child, against the Jedi... They will not harm the child..." said the Sith Master in the center.
All three Sith Masters then nodded in agreement.
"Then I shall go and wake up the Jedi then... It is time for her to be ready for thier arrival..." Said the Sith Master who had been doing the interrogation on the Jedi.
He then got up, and left the room for the Interrogation Room, while the other two continued to meditate.

Deciding that she'd recovered enough to be able to fight, Mara slowly brings herself out of the healing trance. She maintains the illusion that she's still knocked out cold, while checking her wounds with the Force. Head felt nearly healed, but the hideous gash on her thigh still needed work. It would have to do for now.
With her mind no longer foggy from concussion, an idea struck her; one that she wished she'd thought of days ago, but, again, she'd been in and out of consciousness. Eyes still closed and head still bowed, Mara stretches out to the Force and tries to unhook the sole Sith Acolyte's lightsaber from his belt.

The Acolyte was still standing at attention, not knowing at all that his lightsaber was being taken from him. He continued to watch the prisoner, and tried to keep a close eye on her as he was falling asleep a bit. It had been hours since he had had a break or was even able to sit down, but still he had to continue to stand at attention, as the Jedi still remained in the same position, so there was nothing at all to report.

Succeeding in removing the lightsaber from his belt, Mara pauses, and takes a few quick calming breaths before moving it via the Force to between his back and the wall, with the emitter pointing to his back.
Mara reaches out to the lightsaber with the Force...and flips the ignition switch.

The blade then ignites as it goes right through him, and the Acolyte then falls to the ground without as much of a peep.
Coming down the hallway though, one of the Sith Masters is not too far down from the interrogation room.

Mara's eyes snap open when she hears the Acolyte drop. She quickly calls the still activated lightsaber to the restraints at her ankles and makes a few quick cuts to release the chains from the floor. With her legs now free, she moves the lightsaber to her wrist restraints and cuts them.
She drops to the floor in a crouch, then calls the lightsaber to her hand. Mara stands and gets into a defensive stance, waiting for the Sith Master to show himself.

The Sith Master then gets close to the room, when he can sense Mara's presence in the force. He then walks over to the door and ignites his lightsaber, as the door slides open. There he sees the Jedi and nods to her.
"I guess you Jedi are a little more persistant than I thought... No matter, for you have now just dug your grave... Prepare Skywalker, to join the force..."
He then held up his right hand, and from his fingertips, bue force lightning was seen coming out of them, and aimes right at Mara's torso.

"Not interested in joining the Force at the moment, but I appreciate the invitation," she says sarcastically.
As the Force lightning shoots towards Mara, she zips the red-bladed lightsaber into a vertical position to ward off the bolts. She swiftly approaches the Sith, lightsaber still fending off the lightning, kicking out at his gut with her bare right foot when she reaches him.
"I have a feeling it will be your grave that is dug today."

The Sith Master reacts quickly to the kick, as he barely sidesteps her kick, and has now gone to her left side.
"No, young one, it shall be your grave..." he says as he directs a powerful force push towards Mara's side, hoping the push can slam her against the wall.

Mara detects the Sith's surge of Force energy seconds before his Force push. Quickly throwing her lightsaber into her left hand, she extends her right, palm forward, to meet his Force push with one of her own.

The Sith Master is surprised at the amount of force strength that she has. Surely she should be a whole lot weaker at this point, but she is showing much resolve. He then thought to himself, that she must have healed herself in some way. It would explain everything. He then tried to put forth more power, until he was distracted by his comm, and gets sent flying back, up against the wall.
He then looked at the Jedi.
"Very good, very good... But, you cannot win this one, Jedi..."
As before, he the reached out with his hand, and attempted a force choke on Mara, and then attempted to lift her up off the ground, while trying to choke the life out of her.
