IC: Zealot Sasano
The Tunnels
Nekrosis moved aside just in time, the flying rubble of the ground soaring just above his face as the giant fist slammed into the pavement. HIs arm moved just as fast, lightsaber spinning upwards to remove the fell hand of the ogre, causing it to reel in pain. Its now handles form was left exposed for the twin sabers of the Shistavanen lord, who fell upon it with unrelenting fury, slicing through its back, irreparably damaging its spinal column. Within the beast, signals failed to reach the brain to continue the regulation of bodily functions, and in seconds its heart had stopped beating. The foe was defeated.
Sasano looked on, satisfied with the work of the Sith. "You've done well," his voice echoed in their ears. "It's time for us to continue, and swiftly. We must make our way behind enemy lines."
Without another word, the Zealot took off down the tunnel, further into the darkness, leaving the Sith to catch up with him.

But a few minutes later, they arrived at what appeared to be an exit, a service ladder leading back to the surface side of things. Sasano was waiting for them; his fingers pressed against his temple as he sought to determine what lay above them.
"There may be individuals topside. Something strong, unnaturally so, is dampening my ability to sense abovegrounds. Be prepared for anything, but we ought to be safe, at least momentarily, as we get out there. Prepare yourselves."

They exited the tunnel without a hassle, coming to the surface of Coruscant's Crimson Corridor. They were, however, immediately greeted by booms coming from the direction of the Jedi Temple. The tunnels had let them out in a secluded alleyway, from which there were ways of ascending the rooftops of the nearest building. Sasano took the leap, gaining a vantage point to scout out the enemies and lie in wait. He pulled out a thermo-ocular visor, placing it over the eyes of his mask, seeking the find opponents to ambush.

Above the Enemy Lines
Harrvayn's forces continued their flight, now approaching the very backs of the Crimson Corridor, likely where the commanders were stationed. Like his compatriot far below, the Zealot withdrew eyegear, placing it over his eyes to get a glimpse of what lay below.
He could not see any amassed force, but he did get a reading on several small groups of individuals, all taking note of the explosions are the fore of the Corridor. Something, someone, would emerge soon to face against the Sith. His lord would arrive soon to aid them. The question was, "would it be enough?"
Of course it would. It had to be.

The Crimson Corridor
As things started to look bleak for the Sith patrol, a blast erupted against a building, sending hunks of rubble down, crushing four Federation troops in one go, and forcing one Padawan to abandon his cloak as the rubble snagged it, nearly forcing him down. A Sith tank came into view, firing another bolt, but missing the platoon of soldiers. Federation troops now had to split their attention, while the Padawans turned to the other opponents. One faced down the golem, which roared as it swung its stony fists into the ground, sending out a shockwave. The Padawan, a Mirialan male, leapt into the air to avoid the wave, mustering a short burst of telekinetic energy that stumbled the golem very briefly. It did not seen very fazed.
The other two Padawans present split off. The one that had been on the defensive against the snipers leapt to the rooftops, his saber immediately finding the chest of one unfortunate sniper, whose companion immediately drew a vibrodagger, engaging the Padawan in an intense duel that would occupy the two.
The other snipers began firing once more against the remaining Federation troopers, while two of them focused their fire on the Padawan who seemingly was fleeing. This was the female, and it was quickly revealed that she had sensed a presence, the darkness of Darth Thana, whom she rounded a corner to encounter.
"There is nowhere to run, Sith. Surrender!" Her heart burned with righteous fury, and this had perhaps blinded her to the fact that she was now facing a Sith Master, her emerald blade at the ready.
