Chapter XXV

Obi-Wan twisted to narrowly avoid being impaled by the Death Seeker's lightsaber, "augh, can't we not fight?" he asked the obvious leader.

The three robed figures sneered and another lashed out with his crimson blade, Obi-Wan spun on his heels and activated his lightsaber, the blue blade crackled as it intercepted the Seeker's lightsaber.

With a swift move Obi-Wan used the Force to violently shove the Seeker back into one of his companions, while the third Death Seeker used the distraction to grab Obi-Wan's throat with the Force.

His lightsaber deactivating and falling from his grip the Jedi Master gripped at his throat as he tried to use the Force to deflect the attack, but lifted three feet above the ground he was unable to ground himself.

The grip was suddenly released as a figure leapt over Obi-Wan, a ice-pale blue blade extended Ian maimed a Seeker and slammed him violently into the ship, the remaining two now on guard brought their lightsabers to bare.

Obi-Wan pulled his lightsaber to him with the Force as he rushed forward, a burst of red Force Lightning stretched from the finger-tips of a Seeker towards him, bringing his blade before him it was intercepted. The lightsaber flickered and died out, "no," he spat using the Force to pull the maimed Seeker's lightsaber to him.

Ian spun his blade into Boku-Tii, the most aggressive of the Death Seeker Combat Forms, caught of guard the Seeker stumbled as the almost living with violence blade made short work of his defensive stance, backing him against the ship, "well," said Ian with a sneer, he flashed his lightsaber over the Seeker's hand sheering it off, with another swipe he removed his opponent's head.

Obi-Wan's new lightsaber's emitter was sheered off as the Seeker again shoved his back violently, "not good," he managed before he was knocked unconscious, into the Cave's wall.

The Seeker leapt into the air, ready to give the killing blow, but was violently wrenched out of the air by Ian, "come back here," he sneered at the Seeker, his lightsaber ready.

"You have much skill Jedi," said the Seeker, pulling down on his cowl revealing a woman, she smiled, "come let us finish this,"

"You cannot Biatah," replied Ian.

"Ah so you do remember me from Last Sight, or I though Lady Darra blinded you with her beauty as to your seeing me," she returned.

Ian frowned, "Biatah,"

Biatah stretched out her hand and blue lightning materialized inches from her gloved fingertips.

Ian opened his hand and intercepted the Force Lightning into his body, returning it with his other hand back at her, Biatah managed to leap out of the way as the redirected Force Energy struck the Cave's opening.

Biatah bared her teeth in frustration as she focused her mind on combustion, and allowed a column of fire to materialize from her fingertips, one of the deadliest of Death Seeker Force Offensives, Ian laughed as he used the Force to shield him, still laughing the fire eventually subsided.

Biatah sputtered a curse as she tried the Force Offensive that she had mastered the best, red Force Lightning forked out of her hand, the Force Drain was one of her specialties, her being able to even draw the raw energy from a lightsaber's cell through the blade itself, Ian intercepted the lightning, but instead of being drained pulled the Force from Biatah, ripping her connection from the Force itself.

"Pitiful one," said Ian with a sneer.

The beautiful young Death Seeker fell to her knees, drained, fatigued, the Force ripped from her body, "mercy," she managed to whisper.

"No," replied Ian coldly, "no mercy," he stretched his hands out and raw Force energy blasted from his fingertips, the white Force Lightning ripped into the young woman's chest throwing her backwards into the cave opening, allowing the energy to dissipate Ian laughed, "no mercy,"

He glanced at his master, lying unconscious against a wall, calling Obi-Wan's powerless lightsaber to him he clipped it to his belt and pulled the man over his shoulder, making his way toward the ship the maimed Death Seeker leapt out at him, with a quickly clenched hand the Seeker's entire body was crushed and thrown aside. The Jedi Learner had committed many crimes and broken numerous Jedi Codes, however none would know of this, because there would be no survivors to tell the tale, and his master was unconscious during the events. He would return to the Temple and seek out more of the Seeker Holocron.
