KOTOR-verse. Random planet. ((not sure yet))

[random_xtras]

Alora spins into a hands-free somersault, switching off one blade of her saber and deflecting blaster fire faster than the eye can track with the other.

-Master, I hate fighting living targets.... Ouch.-

She lands and eyes the incoming beings, wincing at the touch of darkness on them, then once more leaps into the air and spins herself into a living blur. Blaster fire glints off her armor, and adds new holes to the tattered jedi robe that's hanging off her shoulders.

-The communication window will be opening in....- She throws up both hands and watches with wide eyes as the power she feels surging through her pushes back the front wave of attackers. -...Five, four, three, two....-

"Canderous, back up!"

"Already on the way," Canderous replied, sounding furious. "The rest of us are coming, too."

A moment later one of the Hawk's small space jets zoomed by overhead and landed 30 yards away. Two young, thin blurs shot out of the ship, another double bladed lightsaber activated and plunged into the enemy ranks, accompanied by the familiar color of an energy shield and modified vibrosword.

"I knew it had gone wrong," Tiji growled, Laka grinned as she knocked her opponent out cold with the handle of her sword.

"Time to rumble in the jungle!" Fron's right behind the girls, back to back with them as he grins like a loon and wriggles his eyebrows at the nearest opponent.

Then he starts singing 'Beat it' at the top of his lungs.

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"We're supposed to be acting professional," Tiji beamed at him, then joined in at the chorus.

[random_xtras]

"Beat it, beat it...." His foot lashes out and catches one of the big aliens in the chin, and then he rides the momentum into a flip before landing in a crouch and springing back into the fight. "Have some more mustard, have some more ham, just eat it...."

"NO WEIRD AL!" Alora's laughing now herself.

Tiji beamed and cut through the alien horde, then looked up as the ship flew by overhead.

//Get Laka and Alora back into the subship. We're getting you out,// Carth's voice buzzed into the coms as the ship hovered overhead and opened it's doors for the Jedi to get into.

-Now Alora's asking him why he's taking his worry for her out on you,- comes the slightly distracted reply as he listens in to his foster parents.

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

-Because he can,- she sighed, absently wishing he'd sneak in and nap with her.

- -

"It's the both of you," Carth said, scowling. "She's turning into you too quickly, she hasn't got the training or experience to keep getting away with this stuff."

[random_xtras]

"And how much training did I have when I started out?" She lifts an eyebrow at him. "Or you, for that matter. Fron, at least wait till our backs are turned before you try sneaking in there."

The teen blushes furiously and does an about face back into the mens' dorm.

Tiji sighed and curled up, shivering slightly before she searched for solace through her meditation.

Carth glared at the boy's retreating back and walked to the holodesk, looking at the planet and bowing his head.

"We have to do something about those two, too," he said, rubbing his forehead.

[random_xtras]

-Alright, Tiji, tell Fron that the coast is clear.-

She walks over and leans against the desk, her own eyes going to the planet and seeing the invisible flame that surrounds it, crushing the darkness. "They aren't going to do anything stupid."

[random_xtras]

"I don't know." She leans against him, her dark eyes absent and thoughtful. "I don't hear anything from my Master about it.... No warnings."

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

He lay his cheek against her hair, eyes dark.

"I don't know why I'm having such a hard time with this."

[random_xtras]

"Growing pains," she murmurs.

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"I guess. But I never had this sort of trouble with Dustil," he said.

[random_xtras]

"Sons don't seem as vulnerable?" She leans back to look at him, her slender brows arching.

[random_xtras]

Alora shakes her head and lets him go, then turns back to the viewport. "Grey hairs are part of life. I'm not ashamed of them."

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"I'm not either," he said quickly, looking alarmed.

[random_xtras]

"No... only proud...." Her eyes go distant as she listens to other things.

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

He nodded and kissed her forehead again. "I suppose as long as I don't go bald...."

[random_xtras]

And now she's laughing at him. Not mockingly; never that. But still.

[random_xtras]

"Nothing," she says gently. "But looking older isn't synonymous with looking bad."

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"No. No, it's not," he agreed. "You've never looked more beautiful."

[random_xtras]

"Now enough of this." She tugs his forelock again, trying to look severe.

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"You are," he grumbled, smiling as he kissed the tip of her nose. "Even when you're calling me names."

[random_xtras]

"I meant the wangsting." She chuckles.
