Here's the next fic. Now that I'm out of that rut, I can update fics a bit better! Thanks for the review. To answer your question, no I didn't take Tae Kwon Do ever. Heck, I've never taken any forms of martial arts…technically. I've practiced some of these by myself…just for the fun of it. Just for clarification…if you didn't know this already, Shadowtroopers are a form of a Sith. It's from Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Fox, Yugioh, or Star Wars; but I do own a few characters.
Encounter
Chapter 15
Revelation
Tense feelings were spreading across each person as the situation was too critical to call for a panic. Fox, Falco, and Lisa were standing in their positions, ready for anything to come at them. Fox might not be able to see the Shadowtroopers, but he can sense their presence. He knows that there are other Sith around the city, waiting for the signal to strike. Fox knows that Lisa's been trained to fight against the Sith, but her experience isn't enough to fight against Shadowtroopers. Falco never truly fought a Sith, but he's been trained to fight against them, thanks to Fox and Krystal's help. Fox probably has the most experience for this situation, but that's just him. He knows that others have more experience, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't back down.
"Where are you hiding you coward?" Fox thought.
Within seconds, he finally tracked a presence behind him, feeling the intense power that the Shadowtroopers are getting. Fox wheeled around to try to strike, but before he could make a move, he felt a rush of energy engulfing him. Before Fox could comprehend the situation, Fox was blasted back into a wall, not being able to see anything in front of him. Most of the students began to panic and run about while others were standing there, too scared to even move. At that point, Lisa rushed in to where the source was strongest from what she could feel. Lisa had her lightsaber high and back, ready to give a powerful swing to the invisible figure that lurks there. Just moments before Lisa swung her lightsaber, a figure clad in black armor with a green gem like crystal in the center of the chest appeared in front of her; swinging a red blade at her that threatened to split her from head to toe. Lisa put her lightsaber up over her head in a horizontal position, blocking the vertical strike that came down at her. Lisa backed off, seeing the predecessor as what she and Fox feared it to be.
"So it is a Shadowtroopers…this doesn't bold well for me," Lisa thought.
Lisa began to charge in with a swift horizontal strike, but the Shadowtrooper was able to block the strike within seconds. The Shadowtrooper used his Force energy and threw Lisa aside in a powerful blast of energy, causing Lisa to fall unconscious as her lightsaber deactivated. Without notice, Falco was able to charge in and swing his staff at the Shadowtrooper. The Shadowtrooper fell to his side, feeling the effects of the staff.
"Heh, I guess Cerinian technology is as strong as they say," Falco commented to himself.
The Shadowtrooper got back up and used Force energy to pick Falco up from the ground. The Shadowtrooper then threw Falco to the wall, leaving a few students open. The Shadowtrooper began to charge in, but before he could strike, Fox was able to use his Force energy to pick the Shadowtrooper up and throw him aside. Falco got up right away, but only to be ambushed by someone clad in a yellow suit with an orange hood that was separate as if it was chain mail. The newcomer was coming down at Falco with a violent top down hack. Falco was able to block the attack in time, but it was barely inches from his face.
"The Reborn are here too?" Falco thought.
Fox turned to see the Reborn that attacked Falco only to see another one just like the other. The difference was this one had a green hood. Fox charged in and used his Force energy to pull back the Sith, giving Fox a quick advantage to strike with a lifting strike. The Reborn got back up right away and wheeled around to deflect Fox's strike, which would've been fatal if he didn't block it. As Fox's lightsaber bounced off the Reborn's blade, Fox used that momentum to spin his lightsaber around into a top down hack. The Reborn was able to anticipate that without a problem as he blocked Fox's attack with a high horizontal defense position. The two stood there in a deadlock as they were using this lock as a test of strength in who was the stronger one. Fox was beginning to win the lock as he was able to have the Reborn leaning back. Before Fox could make the final push, the Reborn used his Force energy to blast Fox backwards, giving the Reborn an advantage. Fox landed near a group of students and got up right away to block the incoming attack. Just as he did, he saw the Shadowtrooper try to attack the students as he had his lightsaber high and back for a deadly swing. Fox had to do some quick thinking as to how to stop the Shadowtrooper without having the Reborn a problem.
"What can I do? Guns won't work, but…that's it!"
Without hesitation, Fox made a small drop kick to the Reborn's knees, causing the Reborn to fall over. Fox then made a mad dash toward the Shadowtrooper to prevent him from killing any of the students. With success, he was able to leap forward and lunged his lightsaber forward to block the attack that the Shadowtrooper was delivering. Fox held back the Shadowtrooper's lightsaber to give the students room to escape.
"GO; NOW!" Fox yelled.
The students began to run toward the door that led into the building that would provide some shelter. Fox gave the Shadowtrooper a hard right to the Shadowtrooper's helmet, causing the Shadowtrooper to back off. Most of the students were in, but Serenity and a few students were still out, some not knowing what to do. Serenity was trying to get Lisa up, but because of the battle, it's hard to determine whether or not it's worth the risk. Yugi and Bakura were already at the building, holding the door to let the students rush in before they shut it behind them. One student made a mad dash for the door as he was 15 feet from it; but before he could get half way there, one of the Reborn blocked his way. The Reborn with the orange hood stood there with a malicious smile as if he was ready to kill the student.
"You're pitiful you weakling!" the Reborn mocked.
"D-don't m-make me use s-self defense o-on y-you," the student stuttered.
"Ha! You think you can beat me?"
"I-I've been trained t-to f-fight."
"Try me you weakling!"
The Reborn began to approach the student with a malicious smile, making it seem more frightening. The student then began to throw random punches and kick, trying to fight his way out of this. To no avail, he couldn't land even one punch. The Reborn made one quick push as the student fell over on the ground. The student sat up, seeing the Reborn with a sadistic smile on his face. The red blade of the Reborn's lightsaber hummed as he had it in one hand, ready to make a swift top down hack at the student. Lisa managed to regain consciousness to see the student on the ground with the Reborn standing over him.
"YOU IDIOT; GET OUT OF THERE!" Lisa yelled.
The student was paralyzed from the Reborn, seeing how this may be the end. The only thing he could do was sit there and raise his arms to cover his face. The Reborn then began to swing down at the student at violent speeds, making it nearly impossible for a mere human to dodge. Within seconds, Lisa got back up, picked up her lightsaber, reactivated it, and made a quick lunge forward at the Reborn's lightsaber. She made a successful attempt to block the attack, but what she failed to do was protect the student from harm. She looked over only to see the student's right arm severed, but he doesn't realize it was severed. Just as the student looked up to see the two in a lock, he realized something that he couldn't feel earlier.
"W-why c-can't I f-feel m-my arm?"
Just as he looked down to see his arm, he saw another arm sitting next to him. He then looked down to see his arm that wasn't attached to him. The only thing he could do was sit there in shock. The student began to scream, realizing his own arm was severed. Without notice, the Reborn was able to knock Lisa's lightsaber aside and begin his charge toward the student again. Without notice, Serenity step in and moved the student out of the way at the last second while Fox was able to stab the Reborn from behind simultaneously. The Reborn fell forward as his lightsaber deactivated automatically, but Fox rushed over to Falco to help him with his problem as the Shadowtrooper and the green hooded Reborn were standing with Falco in between for a pincer attack.
Falco stood there, waiting for either the Shadowtrooper or Reborn to make a move. He knew what to do in a situation like this, but it really depended on how it's approached. The Reborn and the Shadowtrooper began to rush in, ready to strike at Falco. Without notice, Falco was able to leap into the air, causing the Shadowtrooper and Reborn's lightsabers to hit each other. At 30 feet, Falco began to make his decent behind the Reborn, giving Falco an advantage to strike.
Without notice, Fox was able to deliver a powerful baseball swing to the Shadowtrooper from shoulder to shoulder as sparks flew from the lightsaber striking the armor, but the Shadowtrooper didn't fall over; showing the strength of the armor.
"Man, damn it! This is why I hate Shadowtroopers and their Cortosis armor!"
The Shadowtrooper merely turned around to look at Fox, seeing that Fox wasn't surprised or worried; Fox was more frustrated about them. Behind the Shadowtrooper, Falco was able to deliver a powerful top down hack in a form of a leap strike during his decent to the Reborn. The Reborn fell over as the top of his hood began to change color due to the powerful impact. The Shadowtrooper turned around to see Falco standing there, seeing that Falco killed the Reborn. Within seconds, Fox was able to stab the Shadowtrooper at the weakest point in the armor. If Fox didn't learn this, then he wouldn't know of this.
"From what I could remember, the helmet has the least amount of Cortosis, which is to help reduce the pressure on the neck while it also makes the head more vulnerable."
Fox pulled his lightsaber out of the head, letting the armor fall forward with the dead corpse inside. Fox looked over to Serenity, seeing that she and Lisa are tending to the shocked student. Fox went over to see that the student was already given painkillers and a shot of tranquilizer fluid to calm the student from dying of his own shock. Bakura opened the door and looked out to see if it's safe. After looking around a bit, he saw the student that had his arm chopped off was being tended to while being unconscious. Yugi went out to see what's going on now as well, seeing that the three Sith are dead.
"What happened out here?" Yugi asked.
"Not now, the situation is too critical," Fox explained.
Lisa got up to go to the nurse's office to grab some supplies to stop the student's fever. Before she could get to the door, she began to feel something outside the building; feeling a presence becoming stronger by the second. Lisa turned around at the last second only to see another Reborn leaping up from the school grounds to the rooftops. Instead of landing on the ledge, the Reborn used his Force energy and wrapped it around Serenity without notice. Serenity was able to feel something around her, but it was too late to figure out what it was. Serenity was able to see Lisa making a mad dash for her while Serenity was pulled towards the spot where the Reborn was. Serenity began to see the sky, and then the whole world was upside down before her. She looked up only to see the solid cement school ground that was constantly approaching her.
Sorry for cutting it short there. It was getting a little long, but it's a good spot to leave a cliffhanger
