Vasari sprinted now down the hall, feeling the force pushing her faster as she rounded a corner into a group of soldiers moving towards the front to reinforce the group trying to hold the spaceport. Vasari's blade came alive the moment she rounded the corner - as if she had known they were going to be there. She raised the double blade with a slight twirl of her wrist and killed two of the soldiers before they could even raise their weapons - the rest of the group fanned out without panic and raised their weapons to fire a volley of blaster fire into her. She hadn't pressed her attack - anticipating this reaction and stood ready to deflect the volley of fire back at her attackers. Some of the bolts returned to their marks but most simply bounced into the walls charring the surface of the durasteel walls. She growled as she missed a block and felt the heat of the laser fire burn across the surface of her leg. The feeling was painful for only a moment and the ring she wore on her finger went cold as she felt a swelling of rage built up inside her and she leapt forward and slammed her body against one of the soldiers turning his body to keep the others from firing upon her - expecting Luxeria to not be far behind her as she tore her claws into the soldiers throat and feeling the warmth of his blood platter across her face. The gloves she wore covering her hands and arms were fingerless allowing her full range of motion and so she felt her fingers wrap around the fleshy insides of his throat before she gave a quick yank and tore the soldiers throat from his neck before dropping his convulsing body to the ground.
This caused one of the remaining soldiers to shudder and look up at Vasari - a look of panic in his eyes. ~This one must be young...~ Vasari thought to herself hearing Luxeria already engaged with the other soldiers Vasari tilted her head slightly at the young Anzati and took a slow step towards him, her mind reaching out to his pressing her mind aggressively against his own as she forced contact.[/scan]
<<Where would your mistress take her meals?>>
Vasari's mind worked a mental mist of confusion around the young soldiers mind, breaking his defenses easily. When she fought the assassin before she had overwhelmed his mind for a moment and taken advantage of it in the heat of battle - there had been no time for the subtlety that she was working now. She trusted Luxeria to deal with the remaining soldiers as she held this one enthralled.[/scan]
<<Where has she taken... My MASTER!>>
Vasari's voice rose threateningly and the soldiers face paled a little, but not at her voice - on a normal day he might not have been so easily threatened into compliance but his mind felt like it was working through mesh - and he had just seen his comrade's throat torn out with bare hands The feeling was dark and cold and it surrounded his every thought and now in this moment he hadn't the strength to resist her.[/scan]
"Two... corridors down... Left... Her chambers are at the end of the... Hall..."
Vasari smiled a lovely and kind smile and retreated from his mind looking over just in time to watch Luxeria finish with the rest of the group they had chanced upon. She looked back at the soldier and moved closer to him raising a hand to pat his cheek - the other taking his weapon and tossing it onto the now dead form of the man laying not two yards from him. She basked for a long moment in his horror, feeling her ring grow cold and the phantom pain in her leg that the blaster graze had brought back fade a little as she stepped past him and beckoned to Luxeria to follow before starting again at a run towards the quarters of the one leading the defense of this Spaceport.[/scan]
Leaping into the air, she glided over the pair, landing in front of the remaining guards, the purple beam of plasma coming to life as she began cutting her way through the guards, making short work of them. Turning, she saw Vasari had finished her work and was motioning for her to follow. Deactivating her blade, she fell into line behind her, knowing they were drawing close now.*Vasari counted in her head as she sprinted down the hall. She had lost contact with Viox's mind and she wasn't sure if that was because he was struggling to keep out any invaders and thus her, or because he was... ~No~ she shook her head, banishing the thought as she rounded the last corner and skidding to a stop - causing her black combat boots to slid across the smooth floor - the grip barely stopping her from tumbling over. Six assassins stood with weapons drawn guarding the door she was told her master lay behind - prisoner - ALIVE. She gritted her teeth and ignited the bright crimson blades of her Sabrestaff. Her eyes flared bright with the power coursing through her - the ring, cold on her finger letting her know she was falling off balance - towards the dark, but instead of pulling back she leaned into it allowing it to flood through her body setting her blood afire with rage.*"SAVAGE!!"*Shouted the young warrior, not stepping forward - waiting for Luxeria to catch up - it wouldn't be long she was right behind her - wasn't she? She had stopped paying attention after she had learned the location of where they were keeping her Master. Something was pushing her, causing her mind to shut off from all other outlets that may distract her, but it also meant that her battle meditation was broken now, and if she would have been in a clearer state of mind she would have realized that her many minds technique had fallen apart when the dark side focused her aggression towards the sole goal of freeing Viox.
She could feel a strong magical presence, but was not near focused enough to know if that presence was the six killers in front of her, no doubt with close to a millenia's worth of experience in death and murder between them - or the stronger more powerful threat that lay on the other side of the door. She moved her eyes back and forth between the assassins who were now slowly moving towards her - wary of her clearly defensive stance and the long bladed weapon that was almost too long for the corridor they stood within. She wasn't sure why they were not attacking - though perhaps they thought the same, but something caused her to wait. Not hesitation... strategy perhaps? So she waited, glaring at the assassins in between her, and her future.*
Letting her mind slip into its release, she let go off herself and her connection to the world, letting the path of lightwaves twist around her by way of the Force. In but a blink, she had disappeared from sight, the cloak of the Force hiding her from her enemies. It allowed her to stop behind Vasari and see what stood before them. The seconds ticked by as she formulated a plan. It wasn't the most difficult of tasks considering the situation. Planning for one was better than planning for an army. Staying behind Vasari, she let her six purple orbs slip from the pouches on her belt and float out of sight behind the Zabrak as she moved around her and towards the enemy. Unseen and disconnected, she leaped over them and rested behind them, poised and ready to act. With a slight motion of her hand, the orbs scattered from around Vasari in a wide arc of three on each side. All she needed to distract them as they flew at them and they fired to stop them.
Letting go of her cloak, he saber came to life once more as she quickly dispatched of those that blocked their path. Recalling her orbs, she looked at Vasari with a calm steady gaze. "Let go of your anger, Vasari. It doesn't suit you. Have faith in Viox and the power he possesses. He wouldn't go down easily. If he did, then he was never worthy to be your master, much less the Sith'ari." |

A commotion outside the door caused the Zabrak to smirk. Regardless of the Anzati's plan, reinforcements had arrived. Releasing his hold on the Anzati's mind, he continued to stare at the woman, who was frozen in place, paralyzed by fear.
"You would be wise to lay down your arms and call for your forces to surrender...lest you wish to deal with me..."
In one almighty surge of energy, the Zabrak pulled against the restraints of the interrogation chair. Several snaps occurred, indicative that the restraints had failed. Rising to his feet, the Zabrak undid the collar around his neck and tossed it to the floor, where it clattered nosily. Rubbing his wrists and rolling his shoulders, his smirk widened to a grin.
"I did warn you, this was not something you had control over...
Extending his left hand and calling his saber hilt to it, the cylindrical metal hilt slapped his palm. Curling his fingers around it, he thumbed the activation stud. With a 'snap-hiss', a single orange blade sprang to life. Pointing it at the Anzati woman, the Sith'ari declared it was over.
"Shocking, I know. Paralyzed by fear and at a loss for words. You will have plenty of time to consider your actions and what went wrong in prison. The Blackguard Reborn is here to stay and your reign is over. Surrender or face the consequences!"
At this point, the Blackguard had managed to secure the spaceport and were slowly eliminating the rebellious Anzati forces scattered throughout. Given the same choice as their alleged leader, they were to either lay down arms and surrender, or be eliminated.

Vasari's eyes hardly blinked as Luxeria dispatched the group of assassin with deadly accuracy and perfect grace, everything about the way she moved was intoxicating but Vasari was blank to that right now - her focus was already beyond the door, her heart pounding, the ring on her finger cold as ice even as the six warriors dropped to the ground dead. She felt them die... connected to the living force as she always was even when leaning towards darkness she felt the exact moment their life left them. But this time she did not feel peace, or purpose. She stepped forward between the dead bodies and drank up the feelings of panic and fear that lingered - she drank up the death surrounding her and felt her flesh chill, her eyes darkened but before she could move further Luxeria's voice bid her stop and attend. The was nothing commanding or rebuking about the tone of her voice - it was calm and simple. In that charming blunt way that her partner could be at times. She nodded slowly - admitting to herself that Luxeria was right in her assessment on both herself and her Master - when did that change? when did she start seeing him as her Master? A small part of her doomed to live out a life already written rebelled but she pushed it down and moved passed Luxeria and opened the door...
Almost immediately the room began to move heads had half tilted her way and then Viox was free of the chair, Vasari half raised her weapon to attack but something stopped her - this time it wasn't hesitation - it was a look in her Master's eyes that suddenly made the last hours make so much more sense. She hissed scanning the room quickly then her eyes fell on the woman and narrowed. She moved in a half circle making no approach and no aggressive motions as she considered Viox's terms for surrender. She couldn't bring herself to meet her masters eyes, but a part of her mind came back to itself enough to reach out and feel for his presence, once again surrounding his mind in the protective bubble that she had shielded the three of them with from the beginning. Any read the assassin had on him would end at that moment and she waited for the woman's response...

It was a relief when Vasari seemed to calm down. The last thing she wanted to do was put Vasari out of commission simply because her blind rage was causing more problems then actually aiding them.
Letting the Zabrak pass by, she followed her into the room to see Viox standing. She smirked a bit upon how all had played out, further confirming what she knew to be true. Moving forward, she took her place behind Viox, her eyes ever vigilant for those present as they awaited the woman's answer.

Given the same choice as their alleged leader, they were to either lay down arms and surrender, or be eliminated. Against all odds, the Zabrak had managed to delay long enough for reinforcements to find him. And to make matters worse, he had managed to free himself. Clearly I had sorely underestimated his abilities. A mistake that would have cost me my life, however, the Zabrak was offering me a change to surrender. While being subservient to another wasn't ideal, it was still preferable to death at the Sith'ari's hands. And then two more people entered. A slender and lithe framed Zabrak female and a fiery manned human female. Both bristling with power, though no where equal to the Zabrak holding his blade to me. At this point, it was over. Bending a knee and bowing my head, I spoke softly. "You have proven to be much more powerful than I had sensed. I will cease and desist all offensive operations against your superior might...my lord..." Keying the comm on my wrist, I signaled my forces to stand down and accept the Blackguard's conquest of our planet. Whatever was to happen next, it was entirely out of my hands now... |

Submission. There it was. Mixed with the fear of death. Something that he took a perverse pleasure in causing. The hunter had just become the slave. Chained to his will, as was the way of things. Or at least his way. And while he had threatened with prison, perhaps this Anzati would be much more useful as something else? Her people obviously respected or feared her. And she commanded the loyalty of her forces, even against crushing odds. Add that to the fact that her people were naturally skilled predators, and you had a volatile mix. A concoction that would give his enemies a moment's pause. An intriguing thought, certainly. But one that required more than a few minutes contemplation. He would decide this woman's fate at a later date. With a scowl, he extinguished his blade. As a look of relief washed over his opponent's face, he curled his left hand in to his chest and then swung outwards, smashing his prosthetic fist across the Anzati's face. Snorting in disgust as she collapsed to the floor, he looked to Luxeria and Vasari, both of whom had observed the entire interaction.
"Impeccable timing..."
With a sigh, the Zabrak clipped his saber hilt to his waist and eyed up Luxeria carefully. Pleased with her progress and ability to command and make life-altering decisions on the battlefield, she couldn't have prevented his capture. No, that was something that even he couldn't have foreseen. Overall, the losses to the Blackguard were acceptable. And they had gained Anzat as allied forces. Powerful and skilled ones, at that.
"Luxeria, you have done well. Even out of your element, you have managed to succeed. And your efforts will not go unnoticed. Upon our return to Mustafar, come to the throne room. Your reward will be waiting for you there..."
Pausing for a moment, he would allow Luxeria the opportunity to reply before addressing his apprentice and issuing his final orders.

Luxeria simply watched as the woman submitted to the Sith'ari. It was an amusing scene, to say the least. Here, she had led these forces against the Sith and captured the Sith'ari. yet, when all was said and done, she had failed terribly. Outside of getting Viox here, she had only sped up the inevitable defeat of her people. As figured, Viox's power proved to be not so easily matched and fought against.
Once Viox had finished with the Anzati, laying her out on the floor with a single punch, her head lifted as he addressed her. She let out a single breath of relief in knowing that she had completed this assigned in a way that met his standards. As such, it further proved her capability to not only him but herself as well. But when he spoke of a reward, she was a bit confused as to what he had for her. She thought this to simply be a trial to prove just how capable she was, so outside of that, she had expected nothing. In time, though, she would discover it.
Giving a quick bow of her head. "Thank you, my lord. Once we return, I will make haste."

Nodding in acknowledgment, the Zabrak rolled his shoulders to work out the kinks, and strode out of the room, calling over his shoulder as he left.
"Secure our new prisoner for transport to Mustafar..."
And with that, the Sith'ari was gone from the room.

Luxeria nodded as the Sith’ari left the room, giving her the final task of securing the newly imprisoned Anzati woman and making her ready for transport. Giving a nod, she glanced over at Vasari, who had remained quiet since they entered the chambers. With all being wrapped up, all that was left was moving the prisoner. Doubting she’d be much of a problem, she forced the woman to her feet and used the Force to bind her arms behind her until they could properly lock her up. Ignoring her saber as extra precaution, she pushed the prisoner down the hall and to the spaceport that had been claimed.
From there, the woman was loaded onto the first transport available with guards ready to put her down if necessary. With all that finished, Luxeria boarded the next transport and departed the world.

103rd Regiment - Forest Battalion. After the invasion of Anzat was complete, and the debris had been cleaned up, Forest Battalion was assigned to the Spaceport. Under the command of Major Daniel Sortus, the Anzat people slowly accepted the Blackguard's control. Even with their leader currently incarcerated on Mustafar, they accepted the Sith'ari's control. Forming the Anzati Assassin's Guild, the natural born predators excelled at becoming the best assassin's for the Blackguard. Enjoying the perks of unrestricted contracts, the Anzati were able to hunt and kill their prey, feeding their insatiable hunger. All the while, the Sith Troopers of Forest Battalion continued to enforce the Blackguard's will and guard the spaceport from any threats. |

103rd Regiment - Forest Battalion Anzat was, for all intents and purposes, an out of the way world for the Blackguard Imperium, though it was kept within their borders through necessity more than anything else. Though the reason why, aside from the former leader of Anzat being held prisoner, was unknown to all for the time being. Despite this, however, Anzat was a fairly prosperous world, if one needed assassins. |

Anzat, along with Rodia, were the only two remaining Mid Rim worlds still under the sway of the Blackguard Imperium. Iridonia and Anobis had fallen to civil war, instigated by Darth Craxious , the former heir to the Imperium. The outcome of the civil war left Vallius the victor and unchallenged leader of those worlds, for what it was worth. Upon learning that Vallius was behind the civil uprising, the Imperium's military leadership convened with the Sith'ari and decided it was for the best to withdraw from those systems and allow the usurper to try and manage his hold on those world without the Imperium's infrastructure to support him. The remaining troops, defenses and supplies were quickly reallocated to other territories within the Imperium. Anzat received a significant amount of supplies, as it had been revealed that the former leader of the Anzat resistance, Natalia Zavesti , was now the Empress of the Imperium. In light of this announcement, Anzat remained a crucial world for the Blackguard. Providing not only quick access to several worlds controlled by the Imperium's enemies, it also gave the Imperium's core territories advanced warning, should anything be amiss. It also allowed for the Imperium to continue to monitor their alliance with the Hutts, ensuring that their criminal allies were prosperous and secured while remaining under the thumb of the Imperium.

Overseer Kelfal Nismok was the one left in charge of Anzat after Empress Zavesti's ascension to the Imperium's throne. Supported by Forest Battalion of the 103rd Regiment, Anzat remained secure. Above the planet, a small fleet had been amassed and there were rumors that something critical was about to happen, though nothing was confirmed. Preparations were made, to receive a guest of substantial prestige, but aside from that, things continued on as they always did.

103rd Regiment - Forest Battalion Forest Battalion, along with Major Daniel Sortus, kept order on Anzat. At least in the Spaceport. Elsewhere in the other various settlements across the world, the Anzati people dealt with their own problems on their terms. Fortunately, that kept crime to an all time low, on Anzat. With Natalia Zavesti ruling as Empress, Anzat remained devoutly loyal to the Blackguard Imperium. And with Order 212 being issued, there was an influx of soldiers and resources arriving on Anzat, though the true reason behind this move remained a mystery. Anzat was well out of the Imperium's sphere of influence, and yet it had been excluded from Operation: FRACTURE. Aside from receiving several transports of fresh recruits and clone troopers from Kamino, there wasn't much else going on, on Anzat. Business here continued as usual. |

Overseer Nismok's handling of Anzat during the execution of Order 212 and Operation: FRACTURE was superb. Anzat was one of the only outlying worlds to be included in the Imperium's reformation, though mainly because it was the Empress Zavesti's homeworld. Regardless of why, the planet remained under the Blackguard Imperium's sway. A few squadrons of starfighters and a battalion or two of troops had been reallocated to Anzat Spaceport, but aside from that, Anzat remained quiet while the rest of the Imperium shifted and changed.

Anzat was the lone world of the Imperium, far removed from the core territories. While there were disadvantages to being this far removed from the Imperium's beating heart, there were also advantages. While Anzat was secure and remained as such, with patrols mere hours away, it drew little unwanted attention from its neighbors. Thankfully, operating practically off the grid of galactic society had its perks. Don't draw unwanted attention and you don't receive unwanted attention. This allowed the Anzati people to continue to live their lives as they saw fit, and kept them off of the galactic radar.

103rd Regiment - Forest Battalion Major Sortus ensured that the Anzat Spaceport was safe and secure for the offworlders and citizens of the Imperium alike. The Anzati dealt with their own problems, but the spaceport was jointly protected by the Imperium's Armed Forces and the Anzati Assassin's Guild. Overseer Nismok looked after the planetary affairs overall, while Asharla Dante was the planetary governor and head mistress of the Guild. So far, there had been no incidents and the spaceport remained soundly secured. |
