"Those are assassins? They look more like they're five hours late for a costume party." Mara says condescendingly. "Amateurs," she adds under her breath before setting Luke's blaster out of the way on a nearby console and getting a two-handed grip on her lightsaber.
As she is relaxing into a combat stance, she feels Pappy's nudge through the Force. "Pappy's on his way here," she mumbles to Luke. "And then maybe we can end this and get off this damn planet."

He senses his Sister's relief and looks at Cait "Almost there milady and I need to make a call" he reaches into his thigh pocket pulling out his com link and sends an encrypted message "Bucket Head I have a danger close aerial bombardment request....Mustafar....Mining facility.....drop 150 meters east of signal.....bring the ion heat and wait till you see us blasting off planet." He puts the com link back in his pocket and slows his run. Holding a hand up to Cait he reaches for his data pad in the opposite pocket and taps a code into the slicer he left hidden out side. It starts to transmit an old Night Stalker coded signal. He peers around the corner seeing Mara and Luke. He grabs his saber and walks up behind them. "Need help little sister or should I take notes?" and smiles.

Mara turns her head slightly to look at Pappy out of the corner of her eye. "Can't say that it would hurt anything, old man." She returns her gaze back to the assassins. "Except maybe a couple more broken Sith."

Cait cautiously waits on lookout for more trouble. She glances back toward Pappy and the Assassin as she sees Pappy pulling out a thermal detonator as he runs toward the Sith Assassin. Not sure what Pappy is up to with the detonator but knowing it won't be pretty whatever it is. She feels pity for the Sith Assassin facing him. She senses the Assassin is too far gone in the darkside to return to the light. She feels sad at the waste of a life that could have been used for good.
Uh-oh. That's going to hurt. She thinks. She quickly puts away her weapons and starts to run in the opposite direction toward the corner just as Pappy catches up to her and grabs her and drags her to safety around the corner as the detonator explodes. Her ears are ringing from loudness of the explosion. She can't hear Pappy but she can read his lips. He says: To come on and that he can sense Luke and Mara at the control room. She nods. She draws on the Force to clear the ringing from her ears. She then reaches up and places her hands which are glowing with a blue-white light of Force healing over Pappy's ears to do the same thing for him. They will need all their senses working properly if they were going to rescue Tristan in time. She senses them too and also Nick who is out of danger for now. She senses four darkside presences, two very strong. That must be the remaining Sith Masters, she thinks. She says to Pappy.
Yes, Nick is there too. We need to hurry. We are running out of time. She runs quickly down the hall to where she senses Nick, Luke and Mara. I sense strong darkside presences there I think they might have found the Sith Masters and two others, maybe more of those Assassins.
Call? Reinforcements Pappy? She says with a smile. Then hearing him say buckethead knows who he called. Jango and the Mandos are going to join in on the fun then?
As they round the corner and catch up with Nick, Mara and Luke.
Didn't we just leave this party? Hi Mara, Luke, Nick. Need any help?

Nick smirks and shakes his head as he watches the Acolyte slide down the wall unconscious. He leans down and picks up the fallen Acolyte's lightsaber and reactivates it. Now he has two sabers, one silver bladed and the other one the synthetic red color. He swiftly moves down the corridor and catches up to Luke and Mara. He stands in a defensive position and waits for the remaining Sith to make a move.
He then grins slightly when he hears Pappy and Cait coming up behind them. "Nice of you two to join us. Its about to become more exciting." He says glancing over his right shoulder, the one that is slightly bleeding from his wound. He looks at Cait. "Nice sword there Cousin. Hope you are ready to use it if the situation demands it."

You know us Nick we don't like to be left out of the fun. *She winks at him.*
She looks at the two Sith Assassins then back at Nick, Mara and Luke.
So I see. They are probably not the only ones so be on guard. The Sith Masters are near too. Behind there would be my guess. *She nods towards the door behind the Assassins.*
She then notices his bleeding shoulder. You have been busy, I see. You want me to heal that or are you good for now?
Cait having drawn her Sidhe sword Calninque with her right hand and her cortosis dagger in her left hand as she and Pappy join up with the others. ( OOC the sword's metal blade has properties similar to Cortosis and will act in a similar manner when used against a lightsaber it also absorbs energy thrown at it like Force lightening and stores it to later be used against an opponent.)[/i]
She says. Thanks Nick. Calninque and I are ready. Are you? I got your back Cos.
She then walks behind and to the side of him to watch his back but giving him enough room to maneuver if he needs it.
We need to get done with this and find the child Tristan quickly. Time is growing short I fear.

As Luke and Mara had reached the Command Center, the Sith Masters stop their meditating, and look towards the door, as they signal the two Sith Assassins that were standing guard by them in the room. "The Jedi are here... Do what you must... Wipe them out..." Said one of the Masters. The two Sith Assassins then walk towards the door, and it opens, as you only see the two Sith Assassins coming out, as the door behind them closes. They then look to the two Jedi. "Well, it seems to me that the Jedi are persistant as always..." said one of the Assassins, as they both take their double-bladed lightsaber off of their belts, and ignite them, as red blades are seen coming from their hilts. They then both unlock their hilts, and now have a saber in each hand, as they stand in a Jar'Kai defensive stance. "Come Jedi, come and try to take care of us, for we have been practicing for just this moment..." Said the other SIth Assasin, as they both stare down at the Jedi, and start to laugh at their opponents. Luke stands with a lightsaber in one hand and a shoto in the other. He addresses the two Sith Assassins. He is calm and serene with exact purpose in every word and motion. "You have a choice here, a life changing choice. You can lay down your weapons, lead us to the child, and live to tell others of this day, or you can choose the path of the unwise and try to take us on. What will it be?" While Luke waits for their answer, he takes a deep breath and centers himself in the Force.

He listens to Luke's words....and readies himself....both with his weapons and the Force. Hoping they end this soon and find the child.

Nick looks at Cait and shakes his head. "Nah, I'm fine. It just grazed the shoulder." He nods his head towards Mara's wounded leg. "She might want that healed before the fighting starts."
He listens to Luke and sighs knowing what's about to happen. He calmly focuses and centers himself in the Force, bringing both sabers into a defensive formation.

Cait smiles at the banter between Mara and Pappy.
She listens to Luke speak to the Sith Assassins and shakes her head. She says through the Force to Nick. <<Want to bet that they will be unwise?>>
She then says out loud in answer to comment about his wound, she says with a chuckle.
Oh, okay tough guy, Nick. *She winks teasing him.* She looks at Mara leg. Oh, so that is what they did. Sure I can heal her if she wants. Mara, you want me to take care of that for you? She says looking at the leg. She moves closer to Mara so she can heal her if need be and still be out of the way of combat.

Mara glances at the three other Jedi preparing to battle the Sith, then looks down at her leg before looking back at Cait.
She deactivates her lightsaber and makes her way to Cait. "Yeah, looks like the boys have things covered and I'll just slow them down. Might as well get the leg checked out."

Cait says to Nick as she sheathes her sword as she gets ready to heal him and Mara.
But there is no reason you need to suffer the distraction from it either, Nick. It is a small wound it won't take long to heal it.
*She centers herself in the Force her hand glows with a blue-white light of the healing Force. She draws a finger lightly across his shoulder healing it as Mara walks over to her.* There that should do it. And watch your back this time.
*She turns to and smiles at Mara and says:*
Yeah, well we can't let them have all the fun. Let me see if we can get you fully functional again. They will need your help before this is finished.
*She bends over to inspect the leg wound. She makes tsking sounds when she sees it.*
That is a nasty wound you have there, Mara. But it is nothing that I can't fix.
She lays her hand over the wound and concentrates drawing on the Force to heal it. Her hand glows with a brilliant white-blue light. She takes away the dead tissue and knits together the injured tissue, capillaries, blood vessels, muscle and skin. She increases the blood flow away from the injured area as she heals it to help reduce the swelling. The wound closes over and heals. When it is completely healed she takes her hand away. The light surrounding her hand fades away.
She then takes out one of her special ration bars from one of the pouches on her belt and hands it to Mara. Unlike most ration bars hers actually taste very good. They taste like light honey cakes with pieces of fruit. She also hands Mara a small canteen of fresh water.
There that should do it. I want you to eat this you need the extra energy. And being injured takes a lot out of the body and that needs to be replenished. I'm sure they didn't feed you very well at least not what you need to heal completely. You also need the water. So drink up.
She draws her sword again. Then asks Mara.
Do you know where Tristan is? Because if the guys are busy here we might want to help Gert find him. So we can get him and get off this molten rock and go home.

Mara watches as Cait heals her leg. "This was the worst of the injuries, and the Sith Master used it to try to get information out of me." She glances away, eyes going distant as she remembers the pain, then she meets Cait's eyes and smiles smugly. "He didn't succeed. I also had a few head injuries but a healing trance took care of those."
When Cait hands Mara the water and ration bar, she consumes them quickly. "Ah, thanks, Cait. I've barely eaten in weeks, actually." She thinks a moment. "As for Tristan's whereabouts, I was held in a cell next to his his, but unfortunately I was unconscious on the journey into and out of the cell block. Sorry."
Mara reignites her lightsaber and smiles tightly. "But between the two of us I think we can find it. Just look for the area with the most guards would be my guess."

Cait frowns when she hears Mara say the injuries were part of her torture by the Sith Master. She shakes her head.
Typical. They use brute Force even when subtly would work better. They have no finesse. That might work on a normal prisoner but a little more difficult on a Jedi Master. I didn't think he would. Hmmm that's good to hear. You want me to double check and make sure it is healing the way it should?
In response to Mara's thanks for the ration bar and water and how long she since has eaten. You're welcome. In that case, do you want another one? I have plenty I wasn't sure how long this would take and I hate to be hungry.
She takes back the canteen and hooks it to her belt. She hands another ration bar to Mara.
If you need more water let me know in about 10 minutes the canteen should be ready with more water.
Then in answer to Mara's comments about Tristan.
Yes, we picked that up when you called out to Luke. When we were using the Force to look for him when you yelled for Luke.
*She rubs her ear and gives a rueful smile then says teasingly.*
It was rather loud and clear.
Then says more seriously.
We knew if we found you we would find him too.
That reminds me his mother may be here somewhere. I wonder if she landed yet. She was waiting for Luke and Nick to clear out the Interceptors so she could land. So if you see a strange woman and a pilot with her that would be Tristan's mother. No need to be sorry. We are just glad you are safe. Now we need to make sure Tristan is. He shouldn't be too hard to find. This is not that big of a place. I'm sure between the two of us we can.
In response to Mara's last comment.
Not necessarily I think they may have sent most of the guards already against Luke and Nick when they came through the front entrance. Pappy took out a bunch more. I don't sense the presence of very many people in the building and the ones I do are mostly here. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't be cautious in case they are hiding their presence in the Force.
Let's start with where you escaped from I think he won't be too far from there if I had a guess. Siths are pretty predictable about how they hold and treat their prisoners. No imagination. They have tendency to group them together in one place so they can keep an eye on them with very little effort. Lazy they are.
She draws her sword when Mara ignites her lightsaber. She starts to walk down the far corridor as she passes close to Nick, she whispers in his ear.
Take care cousin and watch your back. Mara and I are going to go find Tristan. We will see you shortly. May the Force be with us all. She then stops and waits for Mara.
Lead on Mara. I will follow.
