More streets of town - Monday morning
Anakin
Anakin needed a coffee in the worst way, which was why he was heading to the Perk at a fairly quick clip, Jedi robe flapping behind him in his wake.
Sith
Anakin... hadn't actually been on their list of known associates, but a Jedi and a powerful one at that? Catnip. Especially for this generation of Sith, thick with Jedi-related rage that they were.
Which was why one had the brilliant sense to alert Anakin to his position by activating his lightsaber while his best pal leaped at Anakin from a tree.
Anakin
Anakin's lightsaber was out and lit without conscious thought: a reflex that had been honed over the decades even if he hadn't needed it in Fandom in years.
Red blade.
Sith.
What the kriff?
He swung the blade out, trying to wing the idiot leaping at him from a tree. If that guy lost a limb or two, well, tree-related puns would be funny too.
Sith
The leaping idiot didn't need that arm anyway, rolling to his feet as soon as he hit the ground and striking out at Anakin with his vibroblade.
Hey, he'd only lost his off hand. That just made him angrier.
Anakin
"Stop that," Anakin demanded, reaching into the Force to throw him into the terribly convenient tree.
Sith
The Sith hit the tree with a loud thunk. Stupid Force-users.
His Force-using friend took it as a distraction and immediately leaped at Anakin with his lightsaber.
Anakin
Anakin made a note to spend more time at the gym as he met the lightsaber with his own. He hadn't gotten a decent workout against an opponent since Ben had left.
"Why are you here?"
Sith
The Sith didn't seem so interested in talking. Instead he struck again, moving with impressive footwork as he did so.
Anakin
"Fine, be like that," Anakin said, falling back slightly before swiping at the Sith's chest with his lightsaber.
If he wasn't going to talk, Anakin didn't see a reason to let a Sith live.
Sith
The Sith blocked it, then pressed on with a counter-attack at great speed.
This was an aggressive one.
Anakin
Yeah, it was one of his major failings, but defending the island from Sith was something he felt he was uniquely qualified to handle.
He reached into the Force and found a paving stone to launch at the back of the Sith's head while he continued pressing with the lightsaber.
Sith
The stone smashed into the Sith's shoulder as he dodged. Painful, but nothing he couldn't ignore.
It did leave a small hole in his defense, if just for an instant.
Anakin
Anakin was watching for it and struck out with his lightsaber, aiming for center mass.
Sith
The Sith let out a loud snarl but went down, sinking to the ground.
He was dead in an instant.
Anakin
Anakin kept his lightsaber ignited a moment longer, stretching into the Force for any other invaders.
Something was very, very wrong here.
