Blurred Lines: Cursed Past Chapter 79 - The Fury of the Sith

ohhhh it's fightin time :D

Kyradia has her first confrontation with Zash since Yavin IV

Kyradia was getting increasingly agitated waiting for Zash, the desert was way too quiet but she could sense all the danger in the galaxy approaching and she wasn’t going to let it escape this time. They had left their speeders nearby so Malora could set up some kind of ambush, she tried her best to remain calm and collected she couldn’t let her anger overtake her now or she’d make a mistake like she did on Yavin IV. She looked to her left and right, Ashara and Malora stood ready there seemed to be some tension between them but they at least both looked ready.

Ashara broke the silence “are you sure these things will work, what if they don’t go off” Ashara had been skeptical of this plan but it was better than trying to catch them on speeders

Malora scoffed “I’m sure don’t question it just because you don’t understand Jedi, even if the sensors don’t cause the trap to go off I can do it manually” Kyradia could sense the tension but she wasn’t gonna be the one to diffuse it there was more at stake right now.

But then she sensed something she spotted two dots on the horizon “shush they’re close” she watched as the dots slowly got bigger she didn’t take her eyes off them for a single second. Soon they were barreling towards her and she could sense Zash’s presence, she smiled she couldn’t run forever.

Her hand went to her saberstaff as they came into range of the traps, two plumes of sand erupted and she watched as the speeders skidded and the form of the Mirilian tumbled out of the sand onto the ground. She frowned where was Zash? A second later a figure dropped down next to Terri unscathed by the attack and snarling at them, Zash loosened up as she whispered to Terri but not taking her eyes off Kyradia.

Kyradia gritted her teeth as she ignited her saber, seconds later Zash’s sabers shot to life and she lunged forward towards Kyradia it was time to fight

Zash jumped across the distance between them and slammed down with her sabers against Kyradia’s staff “well well well Kyradia I thought I sensed an afterthought” she turned to look to Malora “and look you’ve picked up a stray, here for your experiment I bet how terribly boring” Malora snarled dashing forward trying to cleave into Zash’s stomach. But Zash saw it coming immediately and blocked it with her yellow saber, Kyradia and Malora began to each try to break Zash’s defense but neither could get past her blocking.

Malora hissed “I’m here for what’s mine, don’t think I’ll be so easily beaten” Kyradia could see out the corner of her eye as Ashara tried to help them but was blocked by the Mirilian, looks like this was going to be a sith exclusive at least for the time being.

Zash chuckled “my dear the bar isn’t exactly high” she parried Malora’s attack before a sudden jolt of electricity sent her flying backwards. Zash smiled turning back to Kyradia “now that your new toy is out the way I suppose I’ll have to teach you another lesson apprentice” Kyradia could feel the anger build up inside her as she fought one of her oldest enemies

Kyradia snarled “I wouldn’t bet on it Zash you got lucky” Kyradia pushed her saber forward againsts Zash’s causing her to lose her balance for a second, Kyradia brought her saber up hoping to capitalize but Zash suddenly jumped rolling just out the way of her saber and landing crouched with a smile.

Zash continued to taunt as she stalked her target “I haven’t heard from you in a while apprentice, too scared I may find out more about your past” Kyradia tried her best to hide the worry the snarl ever present on her face.

Kyradia could see Terri and Ashara had continued to fight doing her best to disarm the Mirilian “please listen to me why are you helping her” Ashara had more faith in the innocence act from the girl than Kyradia did

Terri pushed her back with the force “I could ask you the same question the commander is a ruthless killer don’t lecture me on helping sith” Kyradia knew Terri had a point but she had to focus on the monster in front of her for now

Kyradia responded to Zash “you’re being played, you either lose to me or you lose to the sisters but I want the satisfaction of you losing to me” Kyradia threw her saber out as a distraction as Zash went to parry it Kyradia channeled all her anger and flung Zash towards her getting ready to kick her in the stomach

But Zash was ready to turn herself around as she flew towards Kyradia using the force of Kyradia’s kick to propel herself over her, she landed and went to stab at Kyradia. Kyradia dodged out the way trying to pull her saber back to her hand as Zash responded “you think I don’t know they’re playing me Kyradia of course I have my own plan for that, this body isn’t my only contingency apprentice” the stabs were getting closer and closer and Kyradia felt something stopping her from being able to pick it up “I’m not letting you block your way out of this one apprentice this loose end should’ve been tied up a long time ago” she lunged forward to try and stab Kyradia but a flash of red flung into Kyradias view blocking the attack.

Kyradia looked to see Malora slide in front of her picking back up her saber “find your saber Commander we’ll need both of us to defeat her” Kyradia felt Malora push her back blocking the strikes from Zash

Zash snarled “oh please you think you can stop me scientist” she begun a barrage of strikes at Malora it was clear Malora couldn’t land a hit on her and was merely stalling, Kyradia scrambled to find her saber which had been left far away past Terri and Ashara

They seemed fairly evenly matched neither having made headway on the other, Kyradia rushed past rolling to pick up her saber as Zash and Malora continued “you’d be surprised Zash I’m not so clueless anymore and it’s time to exterminate a fossil” Malora activated some kind of gadget grabbing Zash’s arm and shocking her

Zash shrieked in pain but the shrieks soon turned into a cackle as the electricity focussed into her palm “oh wrong move scientist, it’s a shame you would’ve been so much more competent under my tutelage” she let out an intense burst of lightning which sent Malora flying back into the sand.

She started to breath heavily looking around extremely panicked, grasping at her neck Kyradia didn’t understand why but she was in trouble, she shouted to Ashara “Ashara!!! Malora’s in trouble” Ashara nodded as Kyradia focussed with the force holding Terri in place while Ashara ran towards Zash as she closed in on Malora.

Quickly Ashara ran into Zash’s path pushing her back with the force, Zash kept moving forward admittedly slower “ah well well well the little apprentice we manipulated is still around following orders” Kyradia could see Ashara struggling and began to run back towards them

But before she could the Mirilian stood in front of her “NO s-stop” she didn’t seemed very confident but it’d still slow her down

Kyradia stood tall “get out of my way kid you don’t understand what you’re doing” Terri didn’t budge a new wave of anger coming over her face.

Terri held her lightsaber ready “I understand that you don't give people a second chance, that you kill people who disobey you and that you won’t stop until you have revenge. That you’re cruel and allowed and endorsed a corrupt system for your own selfish reasons and I understand that’s not someone I want to let by” she lunged forward with a new found anger catching Kyradia by surprise deflecting a series of impassioned strikes

Behind them Ashara also stood ready “you don’t scare me Zash we defeated you before we can again” Zash seemed amused by the statement getting closer and closer

Zash smiled “oh honey you show such devotion to someone who uses you maybe you should’ve been my apprentice you’d fit right in” Ashara shuddered at the statement but stood ready while Zash lunged at her hitting her with strike after strike

Ashara tried her best to keep it up but was falling back “She’s not using me!!! Not anymore and you can’t manipulate me no one can not anymore” her strikes continued and just before she was overpowered Malora’s saber came into view blocking her red saber pushing Zash back.

Zash snarled at each of them “fighting you apprentices is beneath me I’m done playing with my food” an intense blast of force energy pushed them both back as she swung her sabers forward

Kyradia could see that Zash would overpower them soon she didn’t have time for this girl time to appeal to her innocent side “look I’ll be honest you may be right I’m cruel, self serving and short tempered but i‘m trying to be better, I can admit my flaws ,but can Zash?” Terri seemed confused for a second and in that second Kyradia took the opportunity to hit her in the face with her saber causing her to fall back to the ground.

Kyradia couldn’t take a minute though as she saw Zash starting to overpower Ashara and Malora, she sprinted up the hill and threw her saber towards Zash. Malora seemed to take note of this and activated another gadget spraying acid, Kyradia heard a scream but once again she seemed to take that pain and manipulate it.

Zash snarled “how dare you this form is brand new, you’re no-” before she finished however she felt Kyradia’s saber embed itself in her should causing her to shriek out in immense pain, it was the first clean hit anyone had got on Zash and the fury was clear.

Kyradia pulled her saber out as Zash stumbled but when Kyradia arrived next to Zash she vanished striding away, Kyradia looked around her and noticed a phantom like shape she was very familiar with circling them.

Electricity started to pulsate creating a wall of dark shadow energy, the lightning itself surrounding the three of them, Kyradia gasped she’d never thought this possible she had to protect them or they’d all be fried to a crisp.

What could she do though shields weren’t her thing she turned to Ashara “Ashara!! We need a shield now how do we do that” she looked as confused as Kyradia

Ashara considered it “I um I guess just clear your mind and reach out” she frowned “and maybe hold hands to channel our power” Malora and Kyradia both scoffed but as the column of shadow encircled them they were willing to try anything.

They joined hands and focussed, Kyradia tried her best but she was furious Zash would get away she knew it but it was either protect themselves or die. She tried her best to let go of the pain and think of something calm, something innocent before Zash, her mind drifted to home but not when she was a teenager before all that happened with her family if she could really call just a brother that. She felt her eyes well up, she missed that more than she realised she shook off the feeling and when she opened her eyes she saw that the lightning was sparking off a very small shield around the three of them. She smiled it had worked at least somewhat she just hoped it was enough.

She looked out to see if she could spot Zash but she could already hear the sound of a speeder startup and as the column of shadow dissipated he speeder with Zash and her apprentice was shooting off towards the nearby ridge

Malora cursed to herself “we have to follow them now they can’t get away!!!” she sliced at the ground with her saber her features looking more savage than normal as she let out a furious growl

Ashara gasped “uh that might be tricky” she pointed to where their speeders had been but now all they could see was piles of scrap where the speeders had been

Kyradia gritted her teeth “great so not only did she escape again but now we’re stuck in the desert” this situation had gone from bad to worse…

Terri awoke suddenly feeling the wind on her hair she looked up realising she was in the cave they’d parked the ship in, she realised she was being carried. She tapped on Zash’s shoulder “um I’m awake you can put me down” Zash nodded setting her down “what happened Zash I thought we were fighting the Commander” Zash turned to face her causing Terri to shriek noticing she had a rather bad acid burn on the right side of her face as well as a stab wound in her shoulder she was nursing as she walked

Zash snarled “what happened is you got tricked by that bitch Kyradia and as a result I had to fight them all off” she winced in great pain as Terri slowly watched the burn heal itself up once again resembling Lusari’s face “I am extremely weak because of all the energy I used today, fly us out of here quickly to make up for it” Terri had never heard Zash so harsh before but she guessed getting such an injury would make you angry. Still it wasn’t her fault right? she paused realising it was, the Commander had acted like they were changing their ways just so she could get past Terri.

They made their way back onto the ship “sorry Zash I’m just a little too trusting” Zash seemed to be returning to her normal self as they returned to the cockpit much less angry and understanding

Zash shook her head “from now on Terri don’t trust what anyone says but me, you’ve seen first hand how people will try to trick you, so never trust anyone you even slightly doubt ok after all next time we may not be so lucky.” Terri nodded, maybe that was a better rule she didn’t want to get Zash hurt after all but did she trust Zash beyond a shadow of a doubt? She had to right? for Lusari, still she’d not admit her mistakes like the commander...

A Recipe for Disaster: A Blurred Lines Spinoff Chapter 1: An Enemy Revealed

hey folks so I know we just got back to the main fic but for a while I’ve wanted to tell a side story of how my companions ended up captured for most of Kotfe and it also links in with Blurred Lines in areas so with that in mind here’s the first part of a 6-8ish chapter long spinoff featuring a few of the ocs you know and some new ones

the emperor Vititate has disappeared into wildspace and until recently there was no sign of his location, however Darth Nox met meet Darth Marr on his flagship and soon after word of an attack on theflagship reached the republic. With this knowledge Grand Master Satele Shan has assembled a team of the most adept fighters and thinkers of both governments at least those she could get in touch with to work out what to do next. Kavaraa was quick to respond to the message sensing a great disturbance unlike anything she had felt before.

Kavaraa looked out the viewport as the flagship approached she sensed it something was wrong, something big was about to happen and she had to be ready. She frowned she couldn’t seem to discern the nature of the presence but she could sense great conflict in someone close to her. Still close by what or who it could be was unclear she really hoped it wasn’t a friend, she glanced towards the sith warships littered within the fleet. She had not been thrilled with working with the sith, she’d be the first to admit it had never quite sat right with her not since Master Syo. But the fact they were united against the emperor helped sway her, but having to work with former rivals was certainly a challenge especially those who tried to test her commitment to the jedi order. Still to combat such a foe as Vitiate it was rather necessary, she put the thoughts to the back of her mind Master Satele had summoned her here the least she could do was be punctual.

As her ship docked with the flagship she stepped out into the bustling republic flagship, she had told her crew to stay with the ship just in case. After the rumours she heard about the sith fleet she was airing on the side of caution, she rushed towards the bridge but on the way she nearly crashed into someone.

She stumbled to a stop looking up to see Theron Shan of SIS, she smiled at least there was a friend here that’d make things easier “oh um sorry Theron didn’t see you there” Kavaraa looked away feeling her cheeks go a bit turquoise.

Theron seemed equally flustered “oh um no worries sorry bit of a rush, important meeting and all” Kavaraa nodded cocking her head, if anyone new something it was gonna be Theron the compulsive spy.

She looked quite seriously at him “so what have you heard” Theron looked around gesturing for her to follow to a quieter location.

They moved to a rather cramped storage room causing them to have to squeeze next to each other “I uh I won’t lie to you it’s bad” he whispered although due to the cramped nature it was like he was speaking at full volume

Kavaraa sighed “yeah I can sense something is very wrong” Theron nodded messing with a datapad

he let out a long sigh “the sith fleet is uh devastated, casualties are high but there is little sign of what caused the attack” Kavaraa’s mouth hung open this had to have something to do with the attacks on Korriban and Tython nothing like this was ever a coincidence

Kavaraa swallowed “that is bad what of Marr? is he ok?” Kavaraa didn’t really like Marr that much but she couldn’t deny his military mind

Theron looked away “uh no report of him or Darth Nox as of yet” Kavaraa’s eyes widened they got Kyradia too? this may be more serious than she even thought, she couldn’t remember the last time Kyradia was beaten much less missing. Either they were dead or in the hands of Vitiate, Kavaraa wouldn’t have wished that on her worst enemy and well she had kind of got it anyway.

Kavaraa let out a long breath “wow it’s that bad huh?” Kavaraa didn’t even know what they could do next that was two of their best assets gone. Kavraaa may not have agreed with Kyradia’s methods but Kavaraa out of anyone couldn’t deny her skill with both the force and the saber, even if she was unbelievably cruel

Theron looked around the cramped room “that’s all the information I could slice from SIS” he put a finger to her lips “do not tell anyone I told you” Kavaraa could feel his breath they were so close, after a long pause she nodded quickly and followed Theron out of the room.

They quickly headed to the bridge where Kavaraa could see many farmiliar faces, on the republic side she could see Grand Master Satele Shan, Havoc Squad Commander Ash’shen’tor, Jace Malcom and Jonas Balkar but to her surprise she saw no sign of Jedi Knight Dzûsa she hadn’t heard from him in a while and also hadn’t been able to sense his presence. This had been concerning her greatly as he normally had such a loud bashful presence and for it to be muted meant something was very wrong, she glanced over to see Lana with a similar look on her face. She knew Lana and Dzûsa had been close but she also hadn’t seen him since before Ziost, the other Imperials around the table included Darth Acina (probably in Marrs place), Cipher Nine a big part of imperial intelligence and Moff Pyron someone Kavaraa had been on the opposite end of a blade from.

Theron spoke up “sorry we got caught up I think that’s everyone” Kavaraa looked around the room it certainly didn’t feel like everyone she knew some members of each council were busy with military missions but still. She assumed the emperors wrath was abstaining once again still believing in the emperor.

Satele nodded turning on the holopad “this is the footage of the attack on the sith fleet not 12 hours ago” Kavaraa watched as thousands of ships suddenly came into view and slowly but surely she watched as Marrs flagship was destroyed, her eyes widened were they really gone? she would’ve sensed it. She closed her eyes quickly reaching out with the force she could feel a very faint presence of Kyradia but it felt different somehow

The cold calm voice of Cipher Nine cut through the room “what of Marr and Nox is there any evidence they survived I believed them to be stronger than that” Kavaraa frowned at the chiss he seemed so calm about the idea of their death as if it was just an unlikely statistic. She had fought the man before his tactical ability was something but his separation from care of those he hurt was worrying.

Satele answered the question “although there is little evidence of survival I can still sense his pre-” Satele paused holding her chest and wincing, Kavaraa looked to her but was quickly met with a similar feeling through the force. She felt like a massive amount of force energy was just released, Satele made eye contact with Kavaraa the anguish clear in her eyes “you sense it too don’t you?” Kavaraa recognised the energy it was...

Kavaraa gasped “Marr?” Satele nodded slowly hanging her head solemnly

Theron looked frantically between them “what happened what can you sense?” Kavaraa was completely preoccupied if Marr was in trouble what of Nox? was Kyradia alive?

in the silence a new voice spoke up “I sense it too it is unfortunate but Darth Marr has passed on, how or why are unclear” Darth Acina seemed less phased than Satele and Kavaraa, Kavaraa guessed it was the sith way. Still she had to reach out she focussed trying to sense if Kyradia was out there, whatever was going on was still happening and if she could just get through. She found the presence but it was in flux, changing, she felt almost forced away as it changed and shifted. Kavaraa stumbled back whatever was happening it had to involve Vitiate and if so that did not bode well.

the rest of their makeshift council began to discus how to move forward as Kavaraa steadied herself making eye contact with Lana who had been strangely quiet, “you sense her too don’t you? I’ve been trying to get through to her but her energy... it’s like it’s being changed and moulded” Kavaraa nodded whatever Kyradia was doing she better succeed

Commander Ash’shen’tor spoke up for the first time “I assume we didn’t come here just to speculate what are we going to do about this?” Ash did bring up a good point they could stand around here all day but they needed to take action

Satele sighed “unfortunately without anymore information all we can do is defend our territory and keep searching” Kavaraa hated that but it was true, suddenly however as if to answer Satele the hologram switched to an image of a bald human male wearing a Mask

He pronounced proudly "People of Zakuul, the unthinkable has happened. Our beloved Emperor, Valkorion, is dead - murdered by an Outlander who sought to shake the foundations of our great society. The assassin will receive swift and just punishment, and this act of unprovoked aggression will be answered.” Kavaraa looked around the council as everyone looked at the holo dumbfounded, Zakuul? Valkorion? act of aggression? she had no idea what this meant but it had to be to do with the attack

the figure continued “As your new Emperor, I can promise you this: Zakuul's enemies will face the full power of the Eternal Throne. They will answer for their warmongering ways... and every last one of the Core Worlds will burn!" the was an audible silence in the room for a few seconds before Theron spoke up

everyone looked to him “so that has to be what and where we’re looking for right? that can’t be a coincidence” he was right there, an emperor, an outlander who must be Kyradia it was too similar

Ash rubbed her forehead “I think you are ignoring the more pressing fact that he just declared war on all of us and he’s gonna use ‘the power of the eternal throne’ which I’m assuming is that fleet we saw and if not it can only be worse, either way we need to be ready to defend” Kavaraa was still bewildered but they said they were going to punish the Outlander not kill her that was awfully curious.

Cipher Nine spoke up “miss Shen does bring up a very good point but one thing to note is that the individual on the holo implied the emperor was dead, now this may be a leap of logic but I’m going to assume this was the same emperor using a pseudonym. With the Emperors death taking a defensive position may be rather advantageous” Kavaraa had to admit if the emperor was indeed dead then they may have less on their plate, whoever this new guy was he certainly wasn’t as threatening. “But with that said one of our best assets lies in the heart of their empire on Zakuul we cannot ignore the importance of Darth Nox” Kavaraa hated to agree with that but she knew it was true.

Ash spoke up again clearly agitated “so what we’re supposed to fight an offensive war for one sith that hardly seems worth it” Kavaraa had never been a military strategist and seeing these two sharp minds go at it was fascinating

Cipher Nine tutted “That one sith helped taken down Revan and his cult and anyway of course not I suggest we smuggle a small team in to extract our target, you are correct there is no need to over extend ourselves” Kavaraa looked to the other around the table everyone looked like they had a billion questions

Lana spoke up taking charge of the argument “clearly we have a lot to think about but these two points are very valid, it would be moronic to throw our ships against this fleet we have to play smart not powerful and retrieving Nox could be a big gain” everyone seemed to agree with that

Cipher Nine cut in “I’d advise we make haste upon the Nox rescue mission the more we wait the more difficult it will become” the man definitely had a point there they only had so long until the first attack

Theron frowned “but for that we need to know where Zakuul is and I’ve been scouring everywhere for any information on the emperors location” Cipher Nine gave Theron a coy smile it almost seemed like pity

“that’s because traditional intelligence tends to neglect culture, folk tales and legends however I do not and have managed to pin down a few possible locations of a planet with this name, give me a week or two and I’ll have the location” Theron scowled at the chiss clearly there was some tension between agencies

Acina looked to those on the council “who would be on this mission? I’d assume only the best and most undetectable” Kavaraa considered those around the table and who would fit best for a few seconds

Theron spoke up first “I’d happily go and I think I know who else would be able to fly under the radar” Kavaraa quickly turned to Theron and shook her head

she sighed “Ok no you promised after Ziost not to run off into danger” Theron looked confused “anyway we need you to handle slicing and I’d rather you do that from a safe location

Theron still seemed unconvinced “it’s not the same though I won’t be alone will I, I was gonna suggest you come anyway” Kavaraa considered it for a second but she couldn’t stomach the idea

Kavaraa shook her head taking Theron’s hand “not this one spy boy, subtlety isn’t really your style I’ll at least let you be on comms how about that?” Theron seemed conflicted but eventually conceded

“alright fine but you update me at all times agreed” Kavaraa nodded squeezing his hand

Lana cleared her throat “anyway... who else did you have in mind Theron” Theron turned around looking a little flustered

he turned back to the others “right uh yes well I assume we want people who can’t be sensed well by the force which narrows it down to well Jedi and at least if my information is correct Chiss” Lana frowned at him seemingly disappointed she was left out, Kavaraa knew she would be able to cloak her force ability but a sith like Lana was much harder to control

Cipher Nine nodded “you’re information is partially correct we have no natural ability to cloak ourselves from the force but naturally we have much stiller minds so it can be harder to sense us” Kavaraa looked from him to Ash who seemed to not have a clue what he was talking about

Ash sighed “So you’re saying I have to work with him” Kavaraa was aware of the rivalry between Cipher Nine and Ash it wasn’t quite the level she had with Kyradia but it was certainly intense

Theron nodded “I’m afraid so but from what I know of Cipher Nine he is likely to perform professionally” Ash let out an audible sigh conceding to the plan

Cipher Nine let out a slight smile “so our base plan is to smuggle us into Zakuul and save Nox, rather underdeveloped at the moment it will require some colour and a lot more intel on her location I will do my best to provide them, I assume SIS will do the same?” Theron nodded reluctantly “That still however leaves the question of how we will be able to smuggle ourselves there” Cipher Nine looked to each of them for an answer

Ash let out a chuckle shaking her head “I’m gonna regret this but I think I know a guy” Kavaraa’s eyes widened oh no...
