Cal was getting the ship prepared for the assault, Nal'dar was explaining something to the Dantari leader in the temple courtyard, and Ruan was nowhere to be seen. Cal went looking for him, he was alone in the main building meditating.
"Master," Cal said, moving closer to him.
"Do you know what Vader wants most?" he said.
"I suppose Ultimate power is a bit ostentatious, so to Conquer the Galaxy?" Cal said, sitting across from Ruan.
"One may think that," Ruan said, opening his eyes and smiling, "but the true thing he wants, is the most powerful force technique there is."
"The transfer of his essence into a new body?" Cal said, remembering her teachings.
"No, but something even more powerful, midi-chlorian manipulation."
"What is that Master?"
"It is the most fearsome power of the Dark Side, developed by Darth Pelagueis, it is the complete control over life and death..."
"How could that be possible?"
"It is the farthest reach of the dark side, something to be feared, but luckily, Vader does not know that last remnants of Pelagueis' holocrons."
"Why are you telling me this Master?"
"Because I fear I shall not survive this, there are two who know of the location of these holocrons, Master Yoda and someone who I don't even know..."
"Why not destroy these holocrons master?"
"To destroy such knowledge is an abhorred offense to the Jedi Order..."
"But why are you telling em, I don't understand."
"Because if the fight with Vader is with you, and not me, I want you to shove it in his face with your last breaths..."
"Master, what makes you think I shall perish in a fight with him?"
"Please, he is more powerful than anyone of us..."
"Master, show me your Electric judgment," Cal said, realizing that her master was different than before.
"What?"
Cal raised her two hand and fired a green bolt of electricity between them, "Do it."
Ruan stood up and focused, when he fired the lightning between his hands it was white.
"Master, you have been corrupted with anger," Cal said.
"So what!? Once Vader is dead my anger will subside!"
"No, no it won't..."
"You are my student, there is nothing you can do about this..."
He was right, there was nothing she could do but continue with the plan, with a close eye on him of course. They left the building and went into the ship, The Dantari were waiting in the cargo bay.
"Master," Cal said to Ruan, "Please take the co-pilot seat, I want to meld with Nal'dar."
Ruan of course, took this as an insult, but then he realized why she did it, he had changed too much to do anything but harm to the meld, "Okay," he said, moving towards the cockpit.
Cal moved to the Captain's room and waited for Nal'dar.
Milo was leading a charge with the Dantari, when a blast from space fired down and blew out many of their forces.
"Get into their lines! It's the only way we can be safe from an aerial assault!" he yelled into his comm. system, which was then communicated to all the squad leaders, who followed his command. The Freerunners began firing into the front lines, both luckily escaped the space assault. The main problem they faced was a large number of At-Ats, it would take a bit of time for the Freerunners to take them down. Milo fell back to one of the Freerunners, he stored the new bike in it.
"Let's see how those At-Ats stand up to this..." Milo said, activating the bike and traversing the forces. He hit top speed as he was charging at re At-Ats, he jumped off the bike, which smashed into about a dozen Stormtroopers and blew up, and was flung into the fray. He tried to ignore as many troops as he could trying to get to the At-Ats, but he had to take out a few on his way.
As he jumped up to one of the At-Ats, he was hit by a Phase II Dark trooper, he fell down to the ground and dropped his lightsaber. He slowly got up from the hard hit and saw four dark troopers standing between him and the At-Ats. He stared at them for a moment, then they all raised their assault canons and began firing. Milo jumped up off the ground and avoided the shots, he then pushed two of them to the side, not knocking them down, but moving them. He propelled himself towards the last two, thanks to his battlemind, he was immensely focused and was able to absorb the few shots the two dark troopers he was charging at fired. When he got close enough he used all the force power he could, along with his own body to knock them on the ground. One of the Dark troopers to his side fired a missile at him, which he narrowly avoided, it barely scratched the two Dark troopers on the ground.
Milo found his lightsaber when he was thrown from the explosion. He activated it and threw it at one of the troopers, taking off its head. He ran at the dead machine and grabbed his saber as it came back, he jumped towards the two troopers on the ground and sliced one through the waist, the other activated its jump pack and got away. The one remaining standing started firing its blaster canon, Milo deflected the shots and moved closer to it, once he sliced it diagonally from the shoulder, he began looking around for the last one, it was nowhere to be seen. He felt it nearby, so he jumped to the right, it shoved its knife into his side. Milo quickly impaled it through the chest and fell on his knees, looking out onto the rest of the battle field.
The Dantari were overpowering the ground forces, but the At-Ats were obliterating them, one was taken out by one of the Freerunners, but there were still three remaining, and moving closer every minute. One of their Freerunners was taken out, and it was clear that they were losing... But overhead, Milo saw Autumn's Fury flying ...
"Take out that bastard..." Milo said, getting up, ignoring his injury.
Autumn's Fury flew directly over the Capitol building, there were two Espo walkers that began to fire at them, Cal and Nal'dar jumped out and the ship took evasive maneuvers. Cal used malacia on one of the pilots, causing him to accidentally pilot his walker off the building while Nal'dar went the brute force way and shoved her saber through the glass, killing the pilot.
The ship landed and the rest of their force went out, the 12 Dantari, and Master Ruan.
Cal, Nal'dar, and Ruan all felt the dark presence coming towards them as the Autumn's Fury left the building.
"Cal, Nal'dar, you take the Dantari and kill Darth Angor, I will take care of Vader..." Ruan said, activating his lightsaber.
"Master you'll die!" Nal'dar yelled.
"I know..." he said softly, Cal was the only one that heard.
"Let's go..." she said.
"But Cal-" Nal'dar began, realizing that they had to, thanks to the meld. She nodded at Cal, understanding the situation.
"Come on let's move!" Cal yelled to the Dantari.
They all rushed off the roof.
