The Crimson Feather Miniseries: Episode 2: Bloody Rescue

"'Show yourself. Its time to end this!' - Ka'ar to Emperor Ray"

Plot
Ka'ar is asleep and Raider, Alongside Alpha are working on a plan to get their crew members back, Suddenly, Ka'ar wakes up, screaming and punching the wall, Causing a slight crack. Concerned, He walks up to Raider to see whats happening in regards to the plan, Nothing. All that was on the table was a drawing of Ace and a frog with a little note in the corner, Ka'ar, Confused, Asks Raider what it is 'Oh, Its just a-' and then a bright, blue light flashed through the window with the figure of a mandalorian barely visible.

Cautious, Ka'ar and raider soon exit to see who this intruder is. It was a strange, Cloaked man in an old doctors cloak. When they asked the man who he was, he replied that he Worked for Al'Za The duo asked who this strange 'Al'Za' was, the man responded 'A sith inquisitor, he actually captured a few bounty-', Recognising the details of this man, Ka'ar and Raider sprang into battle.

They sliced and diced at the man uncontrollably, until he let out an abnormally powerful force repulse, sending Ka'ar and Raider into the nearby hills and tree's. The man rushed at Raider, Striking her stomach and leg, Raider rolled, dodging the leg attack, But was heavily injured by this. She collapsed into the den when the man pushed her, Knocking her out.

Ka'ar, Infuriated, rushed at the man, Getting three solid hits on his chest and throwing him into a tree, He soon rushed at the man with an attempt to slice his arms off, But the man ducked and parried his second attack, Sending Ka'ar stumbling. The man took this time to injure him, With a heavy strike directly at his stomach. Ka'ar retreated until Raider stunned him with her shotgun, And grapple got a clean shot at his jet-pack, Sending him into the tree's.

Ka'ar and Raider took this time to stitch up their wounds and heal up, Using a spare Bacta-tank, Minutes later, The man fell down from this tree, The water of the swamp protecting him. Raider brought him inside with Grapple on standby encase he attacked, Raider soon healed his wound and asked him his name and why he was here.

The man said his name was Zach. L, An old doctor working for the F.O., Frozen in carbonite, Mere days before this attack, Al'Za set him free from this prison and Zach swore his alliance to him, Not knowing he was a sith. For the mandalorian armour, That was merely a disguise to fool mandalorian bounty hunters swarming around the area. After Zach was healed, He became a member of 'The Crimson Feather', Known as Nightlight.

The team took this time to ask the members of the crew whether or not they had any clue where the crew all was, The crew mentioned they detected a large ship floating around Korriban recently, So, They set off into the ship, But then the ground began shaking, The trees shivered, And out of the misty clouds, A star destroyer emerged. It smashed through trees and smashed into the hills, A swarm of troopers and.. him.. Al'Za had returned for revenge.

He stomped out and Alpha, Omega and Zach went to deal with the troops while Ka'ar, Raider and Zach attempted to defeat Al'Za. Raider rushed at Al'Za as he turned on his orange cross-guard she striked his arm and went for a killing blow to the stomach, Al'Za parried and slashed Raider, Sending her unconscious. Ka'ar rushed at Al'Za and got a few solid attacks to his stomach, He then went to slice his arm off, But Al'Za flipped out the way and shouted 'Not good enough, Eh? Well have this!', Pulling out a second Cross-Guard, It was dark and black in colouration and rushed at Ka'ar, He kicked him into the air and sliced his back open as he fell, Knocking Ka'ar into the trees.

Zach ran from the opposing troopers and went into battle with a mighty force repulse, Sending Al'Za into the swampy waters, He stood up and slashed at Zach, He flipped over his blade and sliced his back yet again, Destroying his cape. When Zach landed, He stabbed at Al'Za wildly, but every attack was blocked accept a deadly hit to the stomach, Al'Za began bleeding heavy amounts and soon began to power up, He charged at Zach, About to kill him, But out of nowhere Ka'ar stuck his sword into Al'Za's side and threw him onto the floor. Zach, Raider and Ka'ar then collapsed due to either exhaustion or pain. Al'Za laughed and them and walked up to the weakened Ka'ar, He hung his saber up high above Ka'ars head and pushed it to his stomach.

Mere inches before Ka'ars death, a bullet pierced through Al'Za's unprotected skull. He collapsed, Causing the rivers to turn a slight shade of red. Grapple, Alpha and Omega jumped down from the tree, Blasters in hand. They where the ones who killed Al'Za. He walked up to them all and dragged them into a hospital. Around an hour later they where all fully healed by a couple of Bacta-Tanks and set off to Korriban. The set up their sabers, bullets and everything else. They walked into the ship and flew over to Korriban. It's time to end this.

After an hour of flying, They landed at Korriban. The wind was howling, Beasts crawled through the cracks of the mountains as the team wandered through this hellish landscape. A few strange whispers could be heard in the hills. Suddenly, Ka'ar began screaming about a man with a mask, Raider and the others where obviously confused, And carried on, Ka'ar soon following.

When they arrived at the ghostly halls of the sith temple, screams echoed across the halls until they came across a little elevator, Ka'ar pressed the top button and the numbers above it began to spiral downwards... 25...2̴͙̾̆4̴̨̗͆̍...2̵̧̨̳̺̣͎̦̼̫̉̾́̃͋̉̔̄3̷̢̛̤͈̞͇̈́͑̇́̄̈́̈́... and then the numbers disappeared. Loud, metal banging could be heard as the number was replaced by a bloody skull and crossbones flag, the same emblem on Al'Za's armour, The metal doors opened, and they walked in, And a few minutes later, They opened again, Revealing statues, Totems and a throne at the end of it all.

The whispers appeared again, '̵̛̞̏S̶͖̉o̵͚̊,̷̝͎̎̇ ̷͓̑Ẏ̸͜ò̶͈̰ù̸̗̓r̶͇͗͝ ̶̰̍f̷̨̜̓̒i̸͖̒̈ń̶̰a̴͎͕͛̄ḷ̴͚̋̉ḻ̷̕y̸̤͕̅ ̵̳̃h̸̝̽̾ë̵̳̠r̶̜̙̓̑ę̸̲͂̂.̸͙͋ ̷͉̩͑͝Ī̸͇ ̷̗͝h̶͉̊́ò̷̝̿p̶̜͑͜e̷͎̍ ̶͕̔y̵̢̩͌͘o̷̭͘ů̷̜͙̎ ̴̰͘ȩ̷̨̇n̷̢̏̾j̸̱̓̈́o̴̧͍͒y̴͉̋͆ē̶̝̈́d̷̤͠ ̸͎͕̒k̶̺̉̃i̷̯͙͠l̶̛̙͆l̷͉̊͝í̶͉͌ń̸̲̥g̶̟̻̀̅ ̵͍̬̒͝m̷̟̎ỳ̷̰̮ ̶̳͓̐̔ä̵̖́̚p̶͖͇͆͑p̷͎̤̓̀r̴̬͂̀ė̶̪̣n̴̝̋t̶̙̏̃i̶̼̎c̶̹͐e̸̞̮̾,̶̨͇͑ ̸̲̿H̵̟͍̓ę̸̧͆̄ ̶̳͑w̴͍̃͌ͅa̵͙̭̎͝s̴͙̯̅ ̵̘̘̇u̴̩̯̇͆ș̷͌͝ȇ̵̝̬̚l̶͉̇̐e̸̘̬͛̾s̴̛͙s̷̼̐ ̴̗͗a̵̧͂ṇ̴̨̈́ÿ̵̨̤́̾w̶͎̬̉͂á̸͖͇͝ÿ̵̠̳́͝s̷̖̏.̷͎̆'̴̻̐̋ they paused, and spoke again.

His voice became clear and the screamed at them 'HOW LONG DO YOU THINK YOU'LL SURVIVE!?'.

The man whipped out a red lightsaber and charged at them all, Zach and Raider both blocked the first powerful strike and told Ka'ar to find and unlock the others. The sith striked wildly at Raider, Pushing Zach away, He hit multiple times, Breaking Raiders guard and slamming her into the wall, He dashed up, About to kill her but Zach shot a bullet right at him, Similar to grapple earlier in the same day. The sith threw them both directly out of the window near his throne, they tumbled down and activated their jet-packs at the last second, barely saving their life.

Meanwhile, Ka'ar has found the rest of the team, They where all locked in cages, Unconscious. Ka'ar went for a chop at the lock of the cages, But it simply shocked him, He had to figure out the code. Ka'ar wondered around the temple, Eventually going into a strange, purple room, the giant doors closing behind him. Then, Out of the shadows multiple knights appeared, They ignited red and black lightsabers. There where around 20, and definitely each more powerful then the last. Ka'ar ran at them, Killing the first 2 with ease, Then he got a heavy blow to the back, Sending him flying, Ka'ar barely stopped his collision with the shocking wall, he flipped upwards and sliced the heads of another 2 clean in half. Ka'ar dashed at a swarm of more knights, But they all toppled him.

Back outside, Raider and Zach where flying in the air, Slightly injured when out of nowhere the sith burst out of the remaining parts of window left, He jumped onto Zach and sliced his jet pack, Sending him soaring into the ground. Raider quickly flew down and caught him, With the sith waiting on the floor. They both landed and fired hundreds of shots at the sith, With him impressively deflecting every single one, most of the bullets deflected right at Raider and Zach, Destroying their armour and actually shooting them, They where heavily injured at this point, And nothing could come to help.

Ka'ar was struggling to breath, The knights have begun to cut into his skin and tried to kill him. He was kicked out of the pile by what seemed to be the leader, He lifted his blade up like so many before him, And striked down at Ka'ar. But his saber was knocked into the wall by another blade, similar to his, Destroyed by the shocking wall. Ka'ar turned to the direction of the saber and saw Alpha and Omega standing there, A pile of 8 corpses surrounding them. Omega picked up one of the sabers from a corpse, similar to his brother Alpha.

The sith wandered up to Zach and Raider, Lifting them up with a force choke when out of nowhere, 'ol reliable Grapple shot him in the arm with a heavy bullet. The arm disintegrated... but reformed an even darker colour. When the sith looked back Raider, Zach and Grapple where gone, So he ran inside to see where they went.

When he entered he saw Ka'ar, Alpha, Omega and Raider standing over the bodies of 7 knights and Zach stabbing the crawling leader, Killing him. The sith force repulsed them all into a statue and had a mad dash at them, Ka'ar blocked the attack and sent his saber into the floor, Raider then stabbed him in the back and threw him away, While he was airborne Zach went for a strike into the head, But missed and got punched into a nearby cliff side, Knocking him out. Alpha, instead met him at the wall with a deadly slice to the throat, The sith, Barely alive went for a killing blow at Alpha, But Omega blocked it and kicked him to the floor. The sith, Finally. Was defeated.

They all walked up to him, Expecting a surprise attack and ready to counter it. The sith got up on his knee, Injured and spoke. 'I.. It seems I have been defeated... But... I just want to know... Before I die...' His eyes took a sickly red glow and they flashed a burning crimson as a pale, evil grin swept across his face D̴͍̟͗̑̓͆̄̌͗̄͠O̴̹͎͓͌̆͒͋̃ ̸̰̤̺͉̖̯͍̞̋͠Y̷̪̅̊̏̈͒O̵͍̓͗͌̽͌̕U̵͎͙̦̼̔̆̄̐̍͗͌͝͠ ̵̮̪͕͖̙̘̈́ͅR̶̤̿̓̊̚Ë̷̤̼̠̘́͑̀͊̽̉̌͊Ä̴̧͌L̸̞͍̱̲̝̠̍͛͜L̶̼̳̘͌͝Y̶̡̠̙̪̫̹̹͗͒̅ ̷̢̨̛̝͍͒̔̔̔T̵̜̳̫̀͒̇̊̂̈̅͊H̸̡̺͉̭̟̳̳͠İ̸̢̲͉̟̯͈͔̾̃͜͠ͅN̶͎̱̠͙͍̊̋̐͜͜͠ͅĶ̷̩͕͈̭̱̳͗͛̑̏͋̂̿ͅ ̴̗̇͝Ỹ̸̬̹̉͐̒Ō̷̢͍͙͚̜͖̫̈́̐̀̅̀̑̀ͅỦ̸̪̳͎͖̥̝͕̖̐̅̓͋͠'̴͉̜͕̰͉̼͆́̀́̀̒Ḑ̵̜̮̮͈͕͑͌̈̆̑͝ ̴͈̱̞̦͛̔͊̚W̵͕͚͈̼̰̖̓̒͑̏̂̍́̕͝I̴̧͙̼͕̦͚͕͍̔̔͗͆͠ͅṄ̵͙̌̉̏ ̸̛̘̺͗̎̈̆̄͠͝T̵̛͚͔̘̜͔͕̠̀̐͑̿͂̒Ḩ̸̨̮͙̠̳̳̓̒̋̓͊͜Ả̷̯̰͚̽͗̾̀̐̈́͊T̶̢̧̨̧͙͉̪̗͇̂ ̷́ͅE̶̤̰̎̅́A̷̛̤̓̑͋̀̀̏͊͐ͅŜ̴͓͇͆̄̕͝ͅͅI̸͍̗̳͉̘̯̼͈̿L̸̼͚̹̐Y̶̺̹̪͈̰̐͂͂?̴͚̥̝͚̻̝̍̉͘!̸̡̧͚̩̠̹̬̖͓͊͂̔̏́́̈́͠  He let out a force repulse, Followed by a strong choke to the entire team. He threw them all into the nearby statue and walked up, Holding a large piece of rock with his last bit of energy. He laughed like a madman as he dropped it. But then out of nowhere, Grapple appeared and lifted the rock with a tiny bit of his own force energy, With his other hand he shot the sith, But he disappeared before he was hit.

Grapple helped the team out of this rocky prison and they all split up to help the other members out of their cages. They all walked out and hopped onto the ship, flying to Dagobah, They where all put inside Bacta-Tanks, Except for Grapple who stayed behind to activate these tanks, He piloted the ship, and made it home.

What a day.The sith, Or: Lord Ray was actually one of the first characters created by Illall.
