Burning Shadows

Chapter 10

Four Days Later

After four days of difficult and exhausting training, Yumikaya was sitting on an open area of grass, Meditating with Satele as she spoke softly.

" Your training is complete. You have demonstrated an excellent understanding and skill in the seven forms of lightsaber combat. Your Force Techniques are coming along nicely as well. Even though you have only learned the basics of Force Techniques and their uses, I feel that you are ready for the next step. " Satele smiled as Yumikaya opened her eyes and spoke.

" What is the next step? " Yumikaya spoke calmly before smiling as Satele giggled softly and held up her lightsaber.

" Crafting your lightsaber. Before we begin with the actual construction, The man you call Arsaor would like to speak with you. " Satele smiled as Yumikaya nodded and stood before walking toward the city as Satele returned to her meditation.

After a few minutes, Yumikaya walked into Arsaor's shop and spoke softly. " Arsaor? You wanted to see me? "

" Ah, Foundling. Indeed I did. I have been informed that you are making your own lightsaber. While the inner workings of such a weapon elude me, I believe I can help you forge your own handle for it. There was a small amount of Beskar left over from your armour. Enough for a handle I think. Shall we begin? " Arsaor smiled as Yumikaya's face lit up with excitement and she nodded rapidly. " Good. Fetch the Beskar scraps from the shelving. I will get the smelting ingredients. We will however, Wait for your cousin to return. "

" Ara? Where did he go? " Yumikaya spoke calmly before Arsaor chuckled heartily.

" He and that Jedi, Orgus is it? Have gone to meet a transport in orbit. It is bringing a blueprint for lightsaber parts. Until they return, I want to talk to you about your armour. " Arsaor walked over to nearby armour stand with a cloth draped over it before pulling back the cloth so Yumikaya could see her armour. " It is completely finished. All the weapons have been fitted and operate correctly and the boosters in your boots have been calibrated. Go and put it on. "

" Thank you Arsaor. " Yumikaya smiled before taking her armour off the stand one piece at a time and carrying it behind a small privacy screen Arsaor had set up for her. As she was getting changed, Aratarus and Orgus walked in before placing holo-projectors on a cleared bench and activating them. As Arsaor examined the blueprints for lightsaber parts, Yumikaya finished putting on her armour and walked over to them with her helmet under her arm as Arsaor spoke.

" Complicated little things aren't they? " Arsaor looked toward Yumikaya nodded before Arsaor turned back to the holo-projectors and spoke. " I don't have moulds so it will take longer to make the parts. Let's get to it Foundling. You look good in your armour by the way. " Arsaor smiled as Yumikaya smirked and set down her helmet.

Several Hours Later

" Well, That was... Educational. " Arsaor rubbed his hands tenderly as Yumikaya gave the smaller lightsaber parts to Satele, Who left with Orgus as Yumikaya carved floral patterns into her hilt that matched her armour before Arsaor melted some Bronzium and helped her fill the decorative lines and spray the hot metal with coolant. Once the Bronzium had cooled, Arsaor gave Yumikaya a more compact buffing machine so she could polish the main parts of the hilt. As she began buffing the hilt, Arsaor sat down and pulled his pipe out of his pocket. As he lit the tobacco, Arsaor spoke calmly. " You are quite interesting. Seeing your new habits over the last week have given rise to some questions. "

" I welcome you to ask them Arsaor. " Yumikaya smiled as Arsaor chuckled softly.

" I would like to know, As I have witnessed similar behaviours, Not the exact same mind you, In others. Your habit of hunting and eating your prey for example. Tell me what that feels like. " Arsaor breathed in the smoke from his pipe and sighed contently as Yumikaya spoke.

" How to describe it... It feels like every part of my body urges me to find my prey and consume it. Like every thought, Every reason for living and breathing is to devour my prey. It is overwhelming but when all is said and done, The experience is... Rather enjoyable actually. Satisfying. Fulfilling even. Like I have achieved something useful. " Yumikaya smiled as Arsaor nodded and spoke.

" I feel a similar sense of fulfilment when I make armour so your words are not lost on me little one. What about your senses? Kalina explained that they are heightened but I would like to know from your own perspective. " Arsaor took another slow breathe from his pipe as Yumikaya answered.

" Start with my sight. The clarity and colours you see during the day are much clearer and sharper for me in the dark. The light hurts my eyes. My hearing, Is much more focused. Despite standing here talking, I can still hear the people outside talking and laughing as if they are right next to me. My sense of smell is much more focused as well. Even in here with the smell from your pipe, Each individual plant and oil, I can still keenly smell the scent from Atali's hair. Even though she is in the hangar. " Yumikaya sighed softly but had an obvious air of happiness about her as Arsaor spoke.

" A unique experience and one to be treasured. Although it might unsettle others, You should embrace all that you are. As Mandalorians, We are taught that we are both hunter and prey. You are different. You were prey before but now are hunter. You will make a singularly strong Mandalorian. " Arsaor smiled as Yumikaya finished buffing the hilt of her lightsaber before Satele and Orgus walked in with the rest of the parts.

" Are you ready? " Satele smiled toward Yumikaya who turned to face her and nodded before Satele motioned for her to follow. As they left, Arsaor stood and stretched before following them quietly.

After walking for a few moments, Satele sat down on the grass where she was previously meditating before Yumikaya sat across from her. After everyone had gathered and quietly stood nearby, Satele spoke calmly.

" To begin, We must attune your crystal to you through the Force. " Satele paused for a moment as Orgus handed Yumikaya's crystal to her before Satele placed the Permafrost crystal on the grass in front of Yumikaya and spoke. " Now then, Close your eyes. Focus on your crystal and allow the Force to shape the bond you have with it. "

As Satele finished speaking, Yumikaya closed her eyes and breathed slowly. As she breathed, Yumikaya focused on her crystal. After roughly half an hour, The Permafrost crystal glowed softly before rising into the air and hovering in front of Yumikaya as the glow began to pulse in rhythm with her heartbeat. As everyone watched in awe, The crystal began glowing brightly as the air swirled around Yumikaya.

After several minutes, The Permafrost crystal once again mimicked Yumikaya's heartbeat for a moment before the glow dimmed and it floated to the ground slowly. As the crystal touched the grass, Yumikaya opened her eyes and sighed exhaustively before Satele spoke.

" That was magnificent. Now, All the parts are here. Focus on your lightsaber like you did the crystal and the Force will shape it. " Satele smiled as Yumikaya nodded slowly and closed her eyes again as Orgus used the Force to lift the box of spare parts and placed it next to Satele as Arsaor placed a small bundle of Tuskcat fur beside Yumikaya.

After a few moments, The box shook slightly before what appeared to be a strip of crimson leather floated out of it and floated in the air as the lightsaber parts, Hilt and Tuskcat fur started rising into the air. As Yumikaya breathed, The parts slowly came together and fitted into place within the hilt. Once the main parts were together, The Permafrost crystal rose into the air before carefully fitting into place inside the hilt. Once the crystal was in place, The remainder of the parts came together and the lightsaber formed.

The gleaming Beskar hilt with Bronzium filled, Carved floral lines had four small, Flower petal shaped pieces of Beskar attached to the top of the blade emitter, The hilt itself had a small button above the crimson leather wrapping that encased the hilt as a grip, The Tuskcat fur slid into place at the bottom of the leather wrapping underneath the final layer to hold it in place before the small, Circular pommel fitted into place so that the Tuskcat fur was hanging over it like a covering but had the pommel over the end of the leather wrapping to keep it tightly wound. As the lightsaber finished constructing with a few small clicks, It floated to the ground and sat carefully on the grass as Yumikaya fell sideways, Unconscious.

The Next Day

Yumikaya groaned and awoke slowly before rubbing her eyes gently and looking around. As she glanced around the room, She realised that she was on Aratarus's ship before yawning and getting up. Upon realising that she was in her bodysuit, Yumikaya put her armour on before leaving the room. As she left the hangar, She saw Satele, Orgus, Kalina, Shae, Aratarus, Mako, Deshla, Atali and Savii sitting around a table near a food vendor. As she walked over, Atali spoke.

" Kaya! It's beautiful! You did amazing. " Atali smiled before moving aside so Yumikaya could sit down. As she sat down, She realised that her lightsaber was sitting on the table before smiling brightly and reaching toward it. As her hand extended, The lightsaber quickly moved to her hand and seemed to hum softly as she held it.

" Wow... My hand is all tingly... " Yumikaya sighed softly as she turned the lightsaber over in her hands for a few moments before standing and stepping backwards. Although she wanted to ignite it, Yumikaya whimpered nervously before glancing toward Satele, Who nodded reassuringly before Yumikaya smiled excitedly and ignited her lightsaber. As the blade extended, The lightsaber let out an almost musical sound before the blade hummed softly. The blade was an icy shade of blue with a darker blue core. As Yumikaya swung the lightsaber, The blade left a dark blue light trail behind it. After a few moments of carefully moving the lightsaber, Yumikaya deactivated it. " It's so beautiful... "

" You did very well Kaya. " Kalina tousled Yumikaya's hair gently as she smiled before noticing that Yumikaya seemed distant. " What's wrong sweety? "

" I was actually... I was wondering if you... If you would tell me about my mother. What she was like growing up and what led to her becoming a Sith... " Yumikaya bit her lip as Kalina's look changed to a mix of sadness and regret before she looked toward Shae.

" Can't keep it hidden Kali. She deserves to know the truth. " Shae smiled reassuringly before Kalina sighed and sat down as Yumikaya sat next to her.

" Alright. Well, Your mother and I were born on the same planet. Axxila. We attended the same academy, Usually the same classes and often ran into each other in passing or on outings with our parents. For a while we didn't really interact but at one outing, A ball of all things, We danced together. Our parents saw the benefit of our families being closely tied but neither family had sons. We talked while we danced and realised that we had a lot in common. We were inseparable after that night. We went everywhere and did everything together. " Kalina paused as Yumikaya giggled softly.

" What was she like as a child? " Yumikaya looked curious as Kalina giggled happily and spoke.

" Like a walking trouble generator. Everywhere she went, Chaos and unrest followed. If we weren't in trouble, Something wasn't right. " Kalina and Shae smiled as Yumikaya giggled before Kalina continued.

" When she was nine, A Jedi came to see your mother. Master Shiden. She said that your mother was very strong in the Force and would make an exceptional Jedi. Her parents agreed and Master Shiden took her to Coruscant to be trained. When I was sixteen, I joined the Republic Military in the hopes of finding her and spending time with her again. It worked. We often got assigned to the same planets for missions and often ended up in the same locations for our objectives. She would often request my help when she went on training missions or Jedi assignments. " Kalina paused again as Yumikaya smiled.

" What was she like as a Jedi? Was she still a troublemaker? " Yumikaya smiled mischievously as Kalina giggled.

" Not as much. She still bent the rules when she had to but for the most part, Being a Jedi changed her. She knew there were things she couldn't do in any circumstance and made sure not to. She was a totally different person. Being a Jedi matured her so much that at first, I didn't even recognise her. But she showed more of her younger self when we were alone. " Kalina smiled as Yumikaya laughed softly before continuing. " We were about twenty years old when the Jedi Temple on Coruscant was attacked by the Empire. Fortunately we weren't there. " Kalina sighed softly before looking toward Shae as she spoke.

" But I was. I raided the temple with the Empire. " Shae looked upset as Yumikaya looked toward her in shock. " Don't get me wrong. I didn't do it for politics or fame or any of that. I did it because I was in a tough spot. Because I needed that payday. But looking back now... There is so much I would do differently. So many Jedi and soldiers met their end at my hands that day. We took no prisoners. " Shae looked away sadly as Kalina placed a hand on her shoulder before she continued. " When we raided the training rooms, We found holo-projectors recording training of the most promising Padawan's. Your mother was one of them. She had the highest scores, The highest test results and was usually sent on the riskiest missions for a Padawan. Malgus watched that recording and sent me to capture her. " Shae paused as she looked toward Yumikaya apologetically before Kalina spoke.

" We were on Drahgor Three. We were sent there to research a creature called a Karnex Dragon. We were actually in what we thought was it's den when Shae appeared. She came in hot too. Guns blazing, Grenades and explosions going off in every direction. Took her a while but she took us down. " Kalina laughed sadly as Shae spoke.

" They put up a glorious fight. Haven't had one like it since. They nearly had me too. But some local showed up. Distracted them long enough for me to stun them both. I took your mother and left. " Shae sighed sadly before biting her lip. " You are gonna hate me for the next part... "

" Why? What did you do? " Yumikaya had a feeling that she knew the answer but waited before Shae sighed sadly and spoke.

" I took your mother to Malgus. When I arrived, He wouldn't let me leave. Said I had to bare witness to what happened when he thought someone could be useful to him and refused. So I would learn that if he demanded my aid again, I had a reason to do what he wanted. He tortured her. In ways I cannot even... " Shae froze as Yumikaya spoke quickly.

" Cut her open and put her back together. Put implants and cybernetics in her. Peeled pieces of flesh away only to stitch them back on and do it again. I know Shae... " Yumikaya bit her lip as she trembled. " I know what he did to her... What he did to me too... "

" I am so sorry sweetheart... I never would have given her to him if I had known what he intended. The same result to. He twisted her into a creature of rage and hatred. But she didn't have anyone to pull her back. " Shae tried to hold back her emotions as tears built up in her eyes before Kalina spoke.

" I thought she had died. I couldn't understand the locals when I woke up and no-one at the temple or in the Republic Military could tell me anything. A week later, Her lightsaber was delivered to the temple with a note that said she had died and been cremated. I devoted myself entirely to the military after that. Spent five years as a grunt before I got drafted to the Special Forces. They trained me as a sharpshooter. Infiltration and subterfuge were on the list too. I was basically a spy with a big gun. Loved my work though. There was no feeling like the one I had lining up my scope with a target. Six years as a sharpshooter. On my last mission, I encountered your mother. I was told a Sith was wreaking all kinds of havoc on Balmorra and the Republic sent me to investigate before the Jedi responded. Somehow that Sith knew I was there and I couldn't shake the feeling that I knew them somehow. So I took a shot. Knocked their helmet off and there she was. The one face I never wanted to see in my scope. Glaring right at me with those blazing orange eyes Sith have. I told the Republic I couldn't find the Sith but that I would stay on Balmorra for a while and see what I could find out. " Kalina sighed softly as Yumikaya spoke.

" You lied to the Republic? " Yumikaya sounded shocked as Kalina nodded and continued.

" You bet I did. Damn worth it to. Couple of days later, A bartender hands me a note with a Republic cipher and coordinates on it. I went there expecting a dead drop or another operative but there she was. Clever girl had hijacked a Republic beacon and sent an alert to headquarters. I never said a word. She did all the talking. Told me everything she had been through. Malgus had tortured her for almost three years before she broke. Made her his acolyte after that. The mission on Balmorra was so she could finish her time as his acolyte and become a Sith. All she was there for was a doctor that specialised in biochemicals. She had tracked him but he eluded her. She asked me for help. Said that she could tell that I wasn't happy in the Republic anymore but didn't know why. " Kalina paused as Yumikaya touched her hand gently.

" Were you unhappy? " Yumikaya spoke calmly before Kalina sighed and continued.

" I was outright miserable. I loved my job but my life felt empty without your mother in it. Being in the Republic was just... Well I didn't know anything else at that point. It was all I was good at. Somehow your mother could sense that in me. Said that I was worth so much more than being a Republic goon. That if I joined her, I could not only be with her all the time but that I could help her make a difference. I didn't even hesitate. Didn't even think about it. I cut all ties with the Republic and left with her. Everything the Republic taught me immediately put me into the ranks of Imperial Intelligence. It was like they had been waiting for me. All my knowledge, All my skills, All my intel, It propelled me to the highest ranks. The moment your mother got her recognition as a Sith Lord, She took me on as her personal assassin. I'd never been happier. Got to do what I loved with my best friend again. " Kalina smiled as Shae started speaking.

" Which is when I popped back into things. Your mother often hired me for jobs but when Kali showed up, Everything changed. Your mother offered me a permanent job as a private hunter. Working exclusively for her. I accepted. We went on tons of missions together, Just the three of us. No troops or backup. Just us. " Shae giggled happily as Kalina nudged her playfully.

" For a good while, I hated her. Hated what she had done. Hated what it had caused but... Despite everything she had endured, Your mother was still the same little girl I grew up with. Like nothing had happened at all. That was... " Kalina paused as she glanced toward Satele before Satele spoke.

" Before she met me. " Satele spoke softly as Yumikaya looked toward her with surprise on her face. " I was sent to Ord Mantell to investigate a rumour about a Jedi killing locals and found your mother waiting for me. She and I battled for weeks. Our fights lasted an entire day every time we fought. Then one day, She got the better of me. She disarmed me and had me at her mercy but... " Satele blushed lightly before speaking again. " She just... Kissed me and walked away... "

" WHAT?! " Yumikaya looked shocked beyond belief before Satele whimpered softly and continued.

" The next day we met again. But she refused to fight me anymore. She said that standing against her with no fear and challenging her with everything that I was had won her heart. That she loved me. Even though Jedi were forbidden from attachment, I could not resist her. She made my heart beat faster when she smiled and made me feel like I was the only one in the galaxy that mattered to her. " Satele smiled happily before continuing. " We kept our love a secret. The Jedi still don't know. Except for Orgus. We were often assigned to the same planets, Your mother and I. We would always make time for each other and disappear for a day or two on some recon mission or scouting or some other lie we told our comrades. But Orgus, He was on assignment from his Master at the same time on Hoth and... " Satele blushed brightly and whimpered as Orgus chuckled and spoke.

" And followed you to your little meeting cave thinking you were in danger and walked in on you two mid activity. " Orgus chuckled heartily as Yumikaya spoke curiously.

" Activity... What do you... " Yumikaya froze before blushing brightly and looking away sheepishly. " Oh... I... I see... "

" Yeah... It was so embarrassing... " Satele blushed slightly brighter as Orgus placed a hand on her shoulder. " But he never told anyone. Still hasn't until now. "

" I did promise. I like to think I am a man of my word. " Orgus smiled as Satele looked toward him with gratitude and appreciation.

" Then, Everything changed. Your mother was sent on a mission to the prison world, Belsavis. Imperial reports indicated she was killed in combat but the truth was much worse. " Satele sighed loudly as Shae spoke.

" It was a ploy. Malgus had found out she had been cavorting with a Jedi and set a trap. Kali and I were exempt because Malgus thought she had never disclosed anything to us. He tortured her for four years before we saw her again. She had been changed so much by Malgus. She was filled with unrelenting rage and hatred. There was no soft part of her left. She had even gone so far that she had killed a member of the Dark Council and taken his place by force. The rest of the council challenged her so she killed them too. Leaving their positions to their acolytes. " Shae spoke sadly but fell silent as Satele spoke again.

" It was then that I encountered her again, But all love for me was gone. She hated that I hadn't saved her. Despised me for my weakness, Saying that loving someone had only caused her pain and that she would never suffer such a weakness again, Least of all for a pathetic Jedi. " Satele bit her lip as tears built up in her eyes. " She tried to kill me. Almost succeeded too. Kalina and Shae intervened. They set off an explosion that distracted her and I fled. "

" She never did figure out it was us either. " Shae smiled cheekily as Kalina laughed and spoke.

" She is a cunning one but no she didn't. I told her later and she was furious but understood why we did it. Anyway, It was around that time that she met your father. " Kalina paused as Yumikaya spoke softly.

" Can you tell me about him? " Yumikaya looked hopeful but sighed sadly as Kalina shook her head.

" I met him only once. When you were born. " Kalina sighed sadly before Satele spoke.

" But I can tell you everything about him. He was my closest friend in the Jedi Order until he left. " Satele smiled as Yumikaya's face lit up with joy before she continued. " Tazokhan. He was one of the strongest Jedi in the order. He catapulted through the ranks so quickly that it made the Council nervous. But he earned every accolade. Every title. I was at the ceremony when he was named The Barsen'thor. The Barsen'thor is essentially a Warden of the Jedi. The title is saved for our most prestigious member and wasn't given to any other for thousands of years prior to your father. The Council never questioned him after that. He was a pillar of light and strength that every Jedi aspired to be. Even his Padawan's. "

" He had more than one? " Yumikaya spoke softly and smiled as Satele nodded.

" He trained more Padawan's than any other Master. On record, He has had just over twenty. His students learned and rose through the ranks as fast as he did. And then... I received word that he was leaving the order to start a family. Every member of the order mourned his loss. " Satele sighed sadly before continuing. " It was a long time before I learned that he had met your mother on Ilum. It broke my heart if I am being honest. "

" Why? Why did it hurt so much? " Yumikaya spoke softly as Satele looked toward her with teary eyes.

" Because I have never stopped loving her. Even now. " Satele cried softly for a few minutes before Kalina placed a hand on her shoulder before Satele managed to slow her crying and wiped her tears away. " Even now, Your mother is the only person I have ever truly loved. I had a man that I thought I loved at one point. Had a son with him but over time I realised that my heart was only filled with love for your mother. "

" And you haven't seen her since? " Yumikaya spoke sadly before Satele shook her head. " So why not come with us? "

" What? " Satele looked shocked before Yumikaya spoke again.

" Come with us to Ilum. She is waiting for us. My sister too. From what Kalina has told me, Having me and my sister, Having my father, It all changed her for the better. Surely she doesn't still hate you. " Yumikaya smiled reassuringly as Satele looked unsettled and spoke.

" I... I shouldn't. I have my responsibilities to the Jedi and... And what if she does hate me... I can't bare to see that look in her eyes again... " Satele sighed loudly before shaking her head. " I am sorry. As much as I would love to see her, I can't. I am the Grand Master of the Jedi Order. I can't... "

" But doesn't that just feel like an excuse? " Shae spoke calmly before Satele looked toward her with shock. " You two were in love in ways I can't understand. That none of us can understand. Like Kaya and Atali. You really think that if she holds any love for you at all, That she won't express it? Take a leap Satele. What have you got to lose? " Shae smiled as Satele looked unsure for a moment as she thought silently before speaking.

" You're right. That is an excuse. An excuse to not put my heart on the line again. But what do I have to lose? Being the leader of the Jedi Council... While it is who I am, It is not all that I am... Alright. I will come with you. My responsibilities as a Jedi can wait. " Satele smiled slightly as Shae nudged her playfully.

" Then we better get moving. Now that Kaya's training is complete, We should head to Ilum. " Shae spoke calmly before everyone stood as a different voice, One Yumikaya was sickeningly familiar with filled the area, Followed by the sound of a lightsaber activating.

" You should have left sooner. "

" Malgus... " Yumikaya stood slowly before turning to look as everyone drew their weapons and watched Malgus carefully.

" I told you little one. You are mine. " Malgus spoke sternly before Yumikaya ignited her lightsaber and moved into a ready stance.

" I will never be yours. You will regret what you did to my mother and I. " Yumikaya growled ferociously as Malgus chuckled softly.

" You have changed to your very core. But, You will always be mine. Girdeti temias redis ir udai. " Malgus spoke firmly and as the last word left his lips, Yumikaya screamed as her lightsaber deactivated and dropped from her hand before she fell to her knees, Clutching her head tightly as she spoke.

" No... Get... Get out of my head... NO! " Yumikaya shook her head roughly and writhed in pain for a few moments before standing slowly and turning to the face the group, Who were all unsettled to see that her eyes had rolled back into her head and she seemed completely empty.

" While I cannot control your mother, I will always own you. " Malgus watched as Yumikaya's lightsaber immediately rose to her hand and ignited before she pointed it toward the group and moved into a combat stance as her helmet flew toward her and slid onto her head before Satele spoke.

" What have you done to her?! " Satele stepped forward slightly, Placing herself between the group and Yumikaya as she stood in her combat stance while Malgus spoke.

" I told you Jedi, She is mine. Zudyti anim wisa. " Malgus deactivated his lightsaber as Yumikaya charged forward and attacked Satele, Who blocked several attacks before using the Force to push Yumikaya back. As Yumikaya stood still for a moment, Malgus spoke again.

" J'us waria nindz shinsi. J'us waria nindz kûrsosûti dukwima'atsa. J'us waria misini oir ani drarina ao zudyti j'us. " Malgus folded his arms as Yumikaya growled savagely and charged again before launching herself into the air an bringing her lightsaber down in a powerful downward slash as Satele blocked but fell to her knees from the force of the attack as Yumikaya snarled and growled angrily while Malgus spoke. " You will not survive this Jedi. If she does not kill you, You will have to kill her. She cannot fight my control and cannot disobey. Kill her. Release your anger and strike her down! "

" I will not! " Satele spoke sternly before pushing Yumikaya back again with the Force before Malgus spoke again.

" Then you will die. Qorit ji. " Malgus chuckled menacingly as Yumikaya charged forward and began battering Satele with attacks before disarming her and pushing her lightsaber through Satele's chest, Just below her collarbone to the right side of her sternum, Barely missing her heart before pulling the lightsaber free as Satele slumped to the ground.

As Yumikaya growled loudly, Savii walked forward and spoke. " Enough. You will release her monster. Refuse, And my magicks will send you to eternal darkness. "

" Do your worst little witch. " Malgus laughed in disbelief before looking toward Yumikaya. " Dari nindz wim arsatkasi. " As he finished speaking, Yumikaya deactivated her lightsaber and slowly stepped aside as Malgus walked forward and ignited his lightsaber before Savii started chanting in a language Malgus did not understand as the air swirled around him as he spoke. " What is this?! "

As Savii's chanting intensfied, The air around Malgus began changing to what appeared to be black smoke before engulfing him and disappearing. As Malgus vanished, Yumikaya gasped loudly before collapsing.
