A few days before Daisy and Trevor are due back, while they're out, her head snaps up to scan the horizon. "Incoming," she announces, just as their comlinks report the same.

Permalink

Felix asks details through the comlinks.

Permalink

They just caught a shuttle coming down from orbit, probably not more than six people inside based on the size. They don't have any more details right now.

Permalink

Dusk meanwhile heads off in an apparently random direction.

Permalink

Felix follows.

Permalink

She's obviously got some sort of Force thing going on; if he tries to go that speed through these trees he's going to run into one. She only gets out of sight of him for a minute, though; she goes over a rise, and when he gets to the top he can see that she's stopped in the low area between it and the next hill.

She hops off the speeder, levitates it through a portal to her dimension, and then suddenly and inexplicably seems quite a bit more dangerous.

Permalink

Well, Sith do have mind magic. Felix gets off the speeder as well, but instead of standing besides it he goes up. He surveys the area.

Permalink

It's hilly and tree-covered; there's no obvious strategic advantage to the spot Dusk has chosen besides the fact that it has a portal in it. The shuttle is just landing, right over there.

Permalink

Okay... too late to crash it down with a tornado. Felix flies higher and keeps watch.

Permalink

The door opens and three people in Sith robes disembark. One of them - older, obviously in charge - points Duskward and says something, and the three of them head into the woods in that direction.

Permalink

Well, Felix has no excuse not to keep a tornado at hand in case he needs one. Also, the trio can get very intense winds perpendicular to the direction that they are trying to go. Is their gear better for heat or cold? Whatever it is good for, Felix will give the opposite of that.

Permalink

Cold, probably? They're wearing long dark robes. On the other hand Dusk wore roughly the same thing in the actual desert, so who knows.

It's hard to see them through the trees, but from the glimpses he catches the wind doesn't seem to be slowing them down very much, just annoying them.

Permalink

It's okay. The wind was just while he was recalling the hail clouds back into existence.

Dusk is completely unbothered by the hail, but it comes down heavily everywhere else.

Permalink

They pause, but only briefly, and then continue on with their sabers drawn.

Permalink

Felix plays around with the wind speed and then starts forming a tornado and gathering energy for a lighting bolt. He is multitasking like crazy, but the hailstorm keeps getting worse.

Permalink

They move more slowly as the weather intensifies, but it's not that far to Dusk, and they aren't giving up.

Her saber is lit now, too.

Permalink

Felix gets to a good vantage point and worries.

Permalink

Worrying is pretty reasonable. She scores an early win, kicking one of the apprentices into her portal where he's immediately zapped to ash, but the master seems to be about her equal even without the remaining apprentice. She fights defensively, looking for openings.

Permalink

Felix keeps providing weather distraction as needed. He tries some subtle adjustments, seeing what works.

Permalink

No specific thing helps very much, but changing it around seems to; Dusk adapts much more quickly than either of the other two.

She scores a hit on the master when a particularly well-timed gust of wind offbalances him just enough; he screams with rage and redoubles his attack, while his apprentice backs off and starts flinging lightning at her.

Permalink

Oh, no; Felix tries to control the lightning and call it away from Dusk.

Permalink

The apprentice wrestles with him for control of it; it goes wide and hits a tree, which crashes, still mostly upright, onto its neighbor. Now the apprentice knows he's there; she takes a moment to spot him and then starts flinging lightning at him, taking more care to make it hit its target.

Permalink

Well, no reason to keep hiding now. Felix is naturally weather (and therefore lightning) resistant as a perk of being a skymage and can fling the electricity away and disperse it harmlessly, or turn it back against the apprentice along side unpredictable weather changes.

Permalink

She gives up when it becomes obvious that she's not going to be able to hurt him that way, and instead leaps for him.

Permalink

Shit. How does someone move that fast? Felix flies high smart quick, using wind to both get away from her and drive her downwards.
