Tahl was halfway down the hallway by the time Gabri had blinked; she knew through the Force that the rest of the Knights and Masters were also running.
Gabri grinned. All alone, in front of Mace Windu's quarters, with enough weapons to destroy half of the Senate building alone. He pulled the sleeve up from his one piece of armor. "Computer, deactivate lights on this level. I'll deal with the windows..." He then slipped a couple of small, spheres out of the belt he wore, and pushed the top protrusion forward on both, then tossed them at a couple of windows before ducking around the corner. Another explosion issued, destroying the transparisteel windows quite well. Gabriel raced back around, bursting the packs of blood on his side and chest and cutting a small slash along his cheek with his vibro knife, then dropped into a sitting position and blanked his mind.
Mace came racing out, as with most of the other Knights and Masters, only to see another explosion had taken process on the same floor as him and a padawan with blood soaking through his clothes.
Gabri put on the act of his life, since it would mean his life if he failed. "Master Windu," he said, wincing in a painful-looking manner, "I heard the explosion... I was coming to... *wince* check to make sure no one was hurt... then the... *agonizing wince* then the..."
"Shhhh. Let me help you." ((Note from the author: Being Mace Windu is harder than it looks!))
"No... There are... *groan, wince* others that might-"
"That is very valiant of you, but I think I can help you." Something was strange about this boy, Mace could sense it. He just couldn't tell what...
Tahl arrived on the dorm level shortly and took in the situation, there were students struggling to rise...smoke filled the hallway, or what was left of it. She carefully went to the first dorm, searching through the rubble for the student within. A moment later she found him, he was lying on the ground buried under one of his walls bleeding from a large gash on his head. Quickly rushing to his side she checked his vital signs then proceeded to call on the Force to help her lift away pieces of the wall...then she lifted the boy into her arms and started off down the hallway to find a clear place for the medics to tend to him. All around her she could sense the Force, strong and weak...
Serasi carefully landed the cloud car on the platform and quickly jumped out. Something was wrong at the Temple and she had to hurry. As she burst through the massive doors she paused only a moment before running toward the dorm level. As soon as she exited the lift, she saw the destruction that derived from her own knowledge. Walls fell before her eyes and the Force around her flickered weakly. Running toward the ruble she began to rummage through to find the girl that lay trapped within. When she reached her she noticed that a slash ran down her face and blood soaked her tunic. As soon as she reached her she picked her up gingerly and hurried to the medics that now crowded the halls, but even as she ran she felt the life Force flicker and fade. With a heavy sigh she set the still body down and returned to pull more trapped students from the ruins.
As soon as Mace had gotten Gabri into his room and was gathering a few bacta tanks, Gabri couldn't contain his grin. "Revenge is fun," he growled, propping himself up on his elbows. He didn't waste any time, and once Mace's back was turned, he whipped out his blaster and fired at the back of the Jedi Master's kneecap. The shot hit its mark, downing Mace. "You Jedi seem to be getting weaker. Have you lost touch with the Force?" he asked mockingly as he pulled out his contacts, finally able to let someone see his actual grey-brown eyes.
"What do you want?" Even after being shot, Mace kept his cool.
"What do I want?" Gabri pulled out his vibroknife and cut off the braid, then the ponytail. "What do I want? Revenge." He laughed softly. "I suppose next you'll want to know my name." He grabbed Mace's lightsaber from the Jedi's belt. "I tell you the only name you need to hear before you die the same way you killed my father. Fett." He ignited Windu's lightsaber, not bothering to watch its fluid motion or ponder how someone could build such a weapon. All he cared was that this thing had killed his father, and now it was going to kill its original wielder. A fitting irony.
"My name is Fett."
Another short one, since I wanted to end it on that last line again. Yay! Word to the wise, role-playing Mace is HARD!!! Even shooting him is hard… Dang… That's really depressing. Gabri usually isn't this… evil. But hey, he doesn't like Jedi much, and he's stuck in the same building as most of them, not to mention the single one that killed his "father." I would come off kind of evil if I were trying to get revenge, too.
