GM UPDATE
IC: Zealot Sasano
The Enemy Territory
The extended hand of Jina'Tis exploded in a torrent of blue energy, the Sith Lightning arcing into the body of the nearest Federation trooper. He convulsed for a moment, then dropped dead. The one behind him was not spared either, for the lightning jumped to him as his compatriot passed on. Nearby, Nekrosis attempted to create a saber barrier to protect himself from the laserfire coming his way, but to no avail, for his skill was lacking. The sabers maintained rotation around him, but he could not will them to spin.
This was unfortunate for him, and for Jina'Tis, as the hail of lasers fell on them from both sides from Federation troops. Jina'Tis, only using one saber as protection, took two shots in his right thigh, the remaining blasts being negated by his Tutaminis, which he would hurriedly use to protect himself.
Nekrosis was less lucky. A shot nailed him in the back of his right shoulder, while another managed to hit his left arm. The pain was intense. In more vital areas, he might've died immediately.
The Jedi apprentices prepared telekinetic attacks amidst the raining fire, but Sasano acted more quickly, hurling the Quarren cadaver violently towards the crowd, bowling them over. With one side disoriented for now, it was time to make their escape. He unclipped something, a small device, from his belt, which began to beep rapidly. He did not wait to see how it worked as he jumped with supernatural strength to the top of one of the buildings, yelling after the two Sith below.
The two would realize they only had moments to act, the Federation troops realizing too late that they wouldn't be able to escape what happened next.

IC: No One
The Crimson Corridor
Darth Thana has miscalculated how quickly the flames were spread, and unintentionally saved the life of the Jedi Padawan, freeing her, as the fire had not yet spread to her. She landed beside the Twi'lek Jedi, who hurriedly barked a command at her. The Jedi girl ran, clutching her lightsaber still, into one of the nearby buildings, as the Master gazed angrily at the Sith.
The hail of laserfire continued from both sides, Thana realizing now that multiple Federation troops were taking aim at her as she fled. A quick glance over her shoulder showed the quickly approaching form of the Jedi, obviously using Force Speed to reach the Darth. He was gaining, and too quickly for her to do anything about.
Fleeing had turned out to be a saving grace, however, as Sith artillery came into view, the resounding booms of their cannonade taking out small buildings, plowing through the district toward their end destination. Thana was near them now, and several Sith acolytes and troopers took notice, setting their sights on the Jedi pursuant. The latter ceased in his tracks, reaching out with s Force Pull, gripping the Sith Master and flinging her back toward where she had come from, cutting her off from her support and putting her up against himself, his cerulean blade held at the ready in the telltale stance of Makashi.
Powers used: Force speed (3), Force Pull (4)

IC: Darth Drakul Xarxes
The Skies above Coruscant
Unbeknownst to the Grandmaster of the Jedi, Darth Xarxes was not of the darkness he believed him to be. His clarity of foresight allowed him to veer out of the way just in time, missing the brunt of the lightning attack, while eating the remainder of the energy with his Tutaminis.
Korelie stood at the ready to defend Stryker, her saber whirling to deflect two incoming blaster bolts, then slashing forward with great strength to engage a pair of encroaching Sith troopers, each wielding a vibroblade. The metal was thin, lengthy enough to match a shoot saber, but vibrated with that telltale hum.
Stryker, for his part, attempted to reach into the minds of the two Drexl flying overhead to no avail. Drexl were notoriously difficult to trick with the Force, and both of these had already been dominated by far greater individuals.
Xarxes' eyes focused on his prey, the Arkanian lord dismounted as he approached the ground, mentally commanding his fellbeast to move towards the Jedi Temple, killing whatever it could as it flew. He landed on the ground, his hulking armored form generation a crater in the tiled ground, only about ten meters away from the white-robed Grandmaster.
He rose to full height, towering over his Jedi foe. He raised a hand, casually flinging the form of Master Dan across several buildings, further into the fray. He would fight Durron alone.
"You are the Grandmaster, I see," he bellowed, his voice harsh and grating. "Your people are outnumbered. Even if you can defeat the rest of us, you shall surely fail in your attempt to save your fellows. Surrender now, and they might live, for much blood does not need to be shed this day. It is the only wise choice."
His drawn sword tip pierced the ground; the hilt gripped in both hands. Durron could sense the severe cold emanating from the dark artifact. Whatever this foul sorcery was, it was most surely deadly.
Powers Used: Tutaminis (5)

OOC: Darth Xarxes has arrived on the battlefield.
--Styker's attempt at Beast Trick fails, since both Drexl present in this part of the battlefield are already being controlled, fully or partially, by the two most powerful individuals present.
--The Sith artillery and majority of the ground troopers not guarding the Temple have made it a third of the way to the back of the battleground, reaching the location of Darth Thana and those she fights. At the back of the battleground is the new engagement between Darth Drakul Xarxes and Grandmaster Durron, Zealot Harrvayn, his comrades, and both Stryker and Korelie. To clear up any misconceptions, Durron and Asaak Dan were too far away to actually be attacking Thana, so it is a different master who is attacking her.
--Master Dan is under Durron's control from a mechanical viewpoint, though any Jedi GM can ask him to control the NPC and post for him.
