A/N: If I do say so myself, that was a nice little twist at the end of last chapter. With me, you should expect the unexpected. I plan on this chapter being mostly fight scenes, so R&R. The more you write, the more I write.
Zyxo drew his scythe blade with his right hand and his saber with his left, and then charged at his brother. Usuvi drew his red lightsaber and waited. Zyxo brought his blades down with the force of a hatred of simmering for years. Usuvi deftly blocked the attack, holding the Sith weapon horizontally, his hands on his left side. He then brought his hands to the center, freeing the red beam. Zyxo dodged to Usuvi's right, and brought his scythe blade down to cut Usuvi's hands and his saber to the left to cut Usuvi's throat.
Usuvi ducked and pulled his lightsaber close to his body, then swept sideways at his brother's midriff. Zyxo couldn't block the attack fully, but managed to stop it right before it cut into his spine with his saber. He forced the lightsaber out of his body, and his wound began to bleed. It seeped into his gi, and caused his lower left to become a rust-red color.
Zyxo performed a quick back flip, allowing both himself and his brother to recover, "I won't let you get away, Usuvi!" Zyxo held his left hand to his side, and bared his gritted teeth. A trickle of blood ran down his chin from the corner of his mouth.
Usuvi just smirked at Zyxo's statement. He threw off his cloak, revealing synth-leather pants and no shirt. Many scars adorned his scaly skin; one of the more noticeable was a long, thin scar along his left eye. There was another lightsaber at the bottom of his black bandolier, which was slung across his right shoulder. Rumiko, having gotten up by now, recognized it. It was her viridian lightsaber. She also knew that if Usuvi were to use to lightsabers, Zyxo wouldn't stand a chance. Rumiko summoned the lightsaber with the Force to her hand, and then activated the blade. She brought it close to her body in a Soresu stance, "I shall not let you harm him, or anyone ever again. You are a menace, Usuvi, and I shall stop you."
Usuvi smiled a smile that almost made him look warm and caring, almost. "My young apprentice, I don't think you should underestimate the power of the Dark Side," Usuvi said. Usuvi's smile turned to a sneer, "And if you do, then I must show it to you."
Zyxo couldn't stand any more of Usuvi's idle chatter, "WE END THIS NOW!" Zyxo let out a wordless shout and charged Usuvi. Blinded by his rage, Zyxo was no match for Usuvi. Quick, fluid motions to either side deflected all of Zyxo's attacks, and Usuvi grinned like a wolf about to get a meal.
Rumiko charged into the fray to help Zyxo, but she was worse off. Each time Usuvi blocked, Rumiko was knocked back. The Trandoshan strength outclassed Rumiko, and she was not much of a help. All of a sudden, there was a blinding flash and a loud explosion. Rumiko felt herself being pulled, away from the fight.
"Sorry about that, I needed a distraction. I've got a ship nearby, we can escape aboard it." Rumiko realized that Zyxo had provided a means to escape. She was grateful, even if her vision hadn't returned and her ears were ringing. She'd never met anybody as powerful in the force as Usuvi, and it scared her to think of the threat that he represented. Rumiko was so lost in her thoughts that she hadn't realized that they'd reached Zyxo's ship. It was a SoroSuub Luxury Yacht, and why a bounty hunter would use one of those was beyond her. Zyxo opened the door and flung Rumiko in rather bodily and rushed to the cockpit.
"What the hell was that for?" Rumiko complained loudly.
"Pick a planet."
"Uh, Corellia."
"Tatooine it is."
The yacht lurched into the sky, and sped into space. Scyk fighter wings were swarming, patrolling the area for Rumiko and Zyxo. Of course, they didn't suspect a yacht to harbor a Jedi and a bounty hunter, and Zyxo soon had them in hyper space. The danger was over for now, but Usuvi was only getting stronger.
A/N: Yeah, short chapter but I'm lazy. I'll get to work on the next chapter soon (-ish).
