Anna's visage returned to her with such force, the Seer fell on her back. She lay there for a moment, listening as Loki's proclaimed mistake came closer and closer to their location. Her head hurt. She wanted to stay resting on the ground. She wanted to sleep again.
The others- they had no idea what loomed toward them. Anna frowned, standing slowly to her feet and taking on the mantel of what she was created for. They must be warned. Quick, wobbly steps brought her into the hallway, and skidded her to a stop so jarringly, she had to reach out and grab the other corner of the wall to keep from completely toppling into the lobby.
Loki!
Anna called, pushing herself up from the wall to a more proper standing position and realizing that she was, indeed, too late. To the Clone, she would have a striking resemblance to the image he had seen just a few minutes ago in the city. Even with her blindfold tied round her head- the still frail looking girl would be peering at the Clone critically- as if anticipating his next movements.... as if she already knew exactly what they would be.
And while Zeal lay nestled in its prison, Anna knew bringing something like that out in a space like this wasn't an option- even though the demon sensed a greater malevolence close by, and desired it greatly. Anna could not satisfy it's hunger.

It struck Raven pleasantly odd to hear Loki and Zalor talk- almost as if they were old friends helping each other. The Empath sensed a great deal of emotion swelling between them. They were pained feelings- but feelings such as those had a habit of forming stronger bonds than most. It made the Jedi Master smile slightly and remain silent.
Until her attention drew her small brown eyes to the door. A second Zabrak, clad in impressive armor entered, and Alora felt the tension in the area spike quickly. After some careful consideration, Raven realized Loki, and the newcomer were very similar- far too similar to be anything other than clones of one another. She glanced between the two curiously- her appearance almost looking like that of a young teenager- but if the Clone looked at her a bit more closely, he would notice the tremendous amount of carefully controlled light energy caressing her. Alora's force signature wasn't as strong as Anna's- but it was absolutely more geared toward Ashla.
Loki... It appears you're talking to yourself.
She glanced over at the Clone for a moment- her small brown eyes cautious, but not afraid.
Did Darth Sedius ever have this problem?
She glanced over to the original Loki- then to the clone, as if actually posing the question to both of them. THey were dark siders after all...they should know!
Anna's entry only caused the Jedi Master to turn her head slightly in regards to the Seer. Inwardly, Raven didn't fear for the girl's safety- but she had to wonder...did Anna know this was going to happen all along?

*Sin frowned at the droid again, and then hears louder noises from outside their table. She starts to get up so she can see easier, rather then just peering around a corner like the twi'lek did. Shd slides around the droid, trailing a hand on its domed head, her hand grazing the head of the twi'lek as she kept stepping forwards to see what the commotion was. She seen alot of their friends, and... Zalor. She was mad at him. She makes a be right back motion to Tanara as she walked up towards Loki, staggering a bit this way and that as she did. She bumped more then one table and saying apologies, even if no one occupied the table she bumped. She stopped near to where Loki and them were, her hands on her narrow waist.*
Do you...
*She stopped a moment, frowning as she looked from one Loki to another. Her one hand moving up to point from one to the other, her other remained on her hip which jutted to one side.*
Do you... Which... You... Mind. Me new frien an me are tryin drink in peace.
*Her frown burrowed further as she looked back at Tanara and gives a shrug and shakes her head at her.*
I think.. May be intoximicated.... I see double Lokis...
*She looked back at Loki and tries to jab him in the chest, but aims between the distance between the two Loki's, still feeling triumphant about it.*
Whichever ones you.. I ain scared to lay down a Nightsister butt who-... I'm going sit. You shhs.
*She grumbles some Mando'a words, too slured to really be translated as she turned back in the direction of Tanara.*

"My pride..." Loki whispered staring at the figure of himself as Zalor and Raven both made quips in his direction. "I wished to never die, to forever plague the galaxy... So I created myself, twenty years of the best minds in the galaxy creating the perfect programs, this." He said lifting a finger and pointing at the clone. "This is my immortality.." Loki whispered quietly, as Sin walked into the room drunkenly and Raven mentioned Lord Sidious. "No Sidious did not, he used dark arts to transfer his soul, this clone has my memories, but not my soul" The Sin said more. "Sin, step away from him, and why have you been drinking? It is unbecoming of one of your station to be drunken in public." Loki Chastised. The clone snorted at Loki's words. "You never possessed a soul. I have seen the darkness we have caused the pain the suffering and I revel in it. I desire more..." He said sneering at Raven. "A Jedi, how quaint, why do you ally with such as this, my creator?" The clone said staring at Loki now. "And oh look Zalor Anneri, I shall kill you at last little whelp." The clone sneered at him, then Sin entered and the clone heard Loki speak her name. "The daughter of Zadea?" The clone mused and gave a bow befitting one of her station before straightening. "I hate to agree with my wayward self, mi'lady but you should not drink in public." The clone said more graciously than even the real Loki. He turned back to face himself and smiled placing the helm upon his head. "The Holocron, now." The clone said darkly. "Give me my birthright." Growling at the end. "I do not think that shall happen, I have destroyed it. " Loki said calmly. "Liar" The clone hissed, a lightsaber appeared in his hands and a jet black blade formed with a snap hiss. "I have the datapad you dutifully left for me, creator." The clone sneered. "I shall end you and take your mantle and rule the galaxy, as is my birthright!" The clone roared the last words. Loki turned and looked at Zalor never in a million years thinking they would fight side by side, let alone fight himself side by side. "I cannot allow you to have it, it is mine and mine alone." Loki said with an air finality, he charged forward suddenly hands stretched out in front of him he clapped and twisted them, The clone's saber shot from its hand and disengaged and the real Loki slammed into him and out of the main door of the inn, into the street outside, running like a bull and slamming his clone-self into the building across the street with such force the cement cracked, Loki held the clone there as it growled at him. "You may be my clone, but I have power and things you do not." The clone sneeringly replied. "And what is that?" It said in Loki's ear. "Something to fight for." With that Loki twisted and tossed the clone up the street, but the clone using the force twisted and brought a booted foot up and into Loki's chest sending him reeling, damn could he hit that hard?. "Whatever you do! Don't kill the clone!" he roared for the other's benefit as he pulled his duel saber from his belt and ignited the red blade. "Knock him out if you can." He bellowed as the clone paced back and forth a few meters away. "Pity, I don't have to play by those rules." It said from beneath the helm then it charged forward throwing up a hand and sending a blast of lightning at Loki sending him dancing away. "You will all die, even that pathetic Skywalker brat on the couch, all of you, Sin can choose or die as well." He said evilly and charged forward his saber flying from the entrance to his hand igniting it and spinning it back and forth. "All. Of. YOU!." The clone roared charging at Loki with blinding speed.

"And, oh look - Zalor Anneri. I shall kill you at last, little whelp." Zalor couldn't help but raise his eyebrow and crack a half-smile in response. "Now, that sounds more like the Loki I remember. If I had a credit for every time I heard you say that..."
Zalor couldn't remember if he had told any of his fellow employees inside the Ja'raak Inn to stay back or not, because within seconds, Zalor had quickly followed Loki out the front door and into River Street.
It was the first hour of the night, so everything was almost pitch black, given that clouds had completely blocked out the Shiraya moon. Only the red hue of Loki's lightsaber gave any light. However, another snap-hiss could be heard the moment Zalor stepped outside, and his green blade added to the light reflecting off the duelists. Zalor could see that there were no pedestrians on the street at this hour, which was good. Anyone standing nearby would be a target to the Loki clone's unbridled rage. Zalor was familiar with Loki's fighting style, despite not having encountered him for years. Both Loki and the clone would make use of their brute strength, their Form Seven, Juyo-style aggression, and their uncanny tendency to blast Lightning and telekinetic blasts as viciously as possible.
Noting that the clone clearly recognized Zalor in the lobby, Zalor was sure the clone would act as though Zalor intended to stick to his old routine of strict Soresu-style defense. Truly, Zalor had tried this tactic against Loki in the past, with mixed, but mostly disastrous results. Fortunately for Zalor, Zalor had greatly expanded his arsenal of combat knowledge sans Loki being allied with Darth Zulataan. The Battle of Dantooine was a warmup - for facing an old adversary. All of Zalor's training came back to him in an instant. Having faced Darth Kyll, one of Zulataan's agents, in combat several times since Loki's disappearance, Zalor knew that attempting a Soresu holdout tactic against a physically powerful target such as Loki or Kyll was unwise. Both Sith towered over Zalor, and we're much stronger than him, physically. They'd wear Zalor down in no time. The Neubian Jedi, however, had a small frame, and was light and fast on his feet. Sayra Nur and Mastor Vilor had taken turns tutoring Zalor in the art of Ataru, or Form IV. They had given him a holocron of Master Yoda facing Count Dooku before his fall to the Dark Side, and Zalor was able to see how Yoda's small frame and his mastery of Ataru overwhelmed the much taller Count. Zalor used this same tactic against Kyll in the Red Fang campaign, and was successful in beating him. This was the form he chose to face Loki now.
"I never thought I'd say this, Loki, but I got your back." Zalor muttered to Loki as he joined him outside.
Zalor quickly ran ahead of Loki, charging at the clone. As the clone closed distance between him and Loki, Zalor summoned the Force and jumped high over the clone in the flashy, somersault-like method for which Ataru was renowned. He landed ten feet behind the clone, then dashed forward then slashed at the clone's midsection twice, at the same spot but different angles. He knew that the clone would easily parry both strikes, but he intended to be little more than a distraction, giving the real Loki an opportunity to do real damage.

Deek had been true to his word, and Zee had no problems checking into the hotel he had reserved for her. It hadn't taken her long to get her stuff settled, take a quick shower, change for the perfomance and head over the establishment she was scheduled to perform in. Sound check went by in what felt like a blur, leaving Zee hoping she acted properly professional the entire time, giving the impression to all she talked to that she was a seasoned performer and this wasn't her first show outside of an open mic.
She lost track of the number of times she paced back and forth in the small back stage area of wherever it was Deek had set up for her to perform at, wringing her hands with a mix of anticipation and fear, straining to hear the noises of the audience over the sounds of the music playing over the speakers. What if they thought she was awful? That she wasn't funny? That she couldn't sing well? What if she lost her voice? Was anyone even out there to listen to her?
She jolted with surprise as the man who was acting as the MC for the night rested a hand on her shoulder, in what was clearly an attempt to calm her down. "It's time," he said. At the wide look of panic in her eyes he added, "You'll do fine, kid. Your set was good during the sound check. I'm sure you'll break a leg out there." He glanced out onto the stage outside. "Although it looks like tonight might end up being a wild night," he added cryptically.
Without waiting for her to respond, the man walked onto the stage, the background music fading away as he did so. With a wide grin and grand gesture to the audience he said, "And now, ladies and gentlemen of Theed, it is with great pleasure I present our first performer for the evening. She hails from Falleen and has one of the more . . . interesting . . . sets I've seen in awhile. Please clap your hands together and join me in welcoming Kit Zeevex to the stage!"
Taking a deep breath, Zee stepped onto the stage. "Hi there everyone!" she said, smiling brightly, hoping that the smile did not betray her nerves. "And thank you for the introduction," she said nodding to the man acting as an MC. He nodded back, and exited the stage, leaving her alone. "It's great to see so many people here for my first show of my Mid Rim tour!"
At least I hope it's a bunch of people, she thought to herself. The lights on this stage are so bright I can't see anything.
The crowd looked up with mild interest at the pretty falleen standing on the small stage. They weren't used to seeing falleens on this planet, leaving them to wonder if the stories about the species were true. She was young for her species, barely more than a few decades old. She was an average height, her long black hair pulled back in a braid that ended halfway down her back. She wore a short, A-Line sleeveless black dress that contrasted nicely with her reptillian green skin. She had carried onto the stage a seven-string hallikset that she had placed on a stand next to her on the stage.
"Now my first song is for the dark siders that may be in the audience tonight," she said. "Because while I know us girls tend to like a bad boy now and then, I think you boys might get a bit more lucky if you considered rebranding your image a bit."
She nodded to the man off stage, indicating for him to start playing the background music for the first song of the set that she had recorded prior to this tour. (Touring along with a band had been a bit outside her budget for her first tour) A familiar popular tune began playing over the speakers. Members of the audience raised an eyebrow with surprise, wondering if this new singer's set would just be a series of covers, rolling their eyes at each other assuming would probably be in for a mediocre level of entertainment for the evening.
Zee closed her eyes, attempting to ignore the obvious disinterest from the audience to focus on the music. She imagined herself back at home in the studio she had set up, where it was just her, the music, and a camera connecting her to the dozens of people who would watch her videos. The falleen's hips began to sway in time with the beat, as she mouthed along with the lower opening vocals. As the music continued, the nervous beat of her heart began to shift into the excitement she always felt when she sang. A smile spread over her lips as she opened her eyes and began to sing:
This Sith, I’m ice cold, I’ve got lightning, that white cold This one for them Jedi Them good guys straight uninterestin’ Styling, Killin’, Livin’ it up on the city Got my robes on, lightsaber drawn Got kiss myself, I’m so pretty I’m too hot (hot damn) Called a jedi and a mando man I’m too hot (hot damn) Make the chancellor want to retire man I’m too hot (hot damn) Say my name you know who I am I’m too hot (hot damn) Am I evil now honey, break it down Jedi hate you, Hallelujah (whoo) Jedi hate you, Hallelujah (whoo) Jedi hate you, Hallelujah (whoo) ‘Cause sith lord funk gon’ give it to you ‘Cause sith lord funk gon’ give it to you ‘Cause sith lord funk gon’ give it to you It's Saturday night and we’re takin' this temple Don’t believe me just watch, come on!
As she continued on with the song, she lost the nervous tics she originally displayed unintentionally when she first entered the stage. As she was sweapt up with the music, the falleen smiled more as she gripped the mic and danced along with the music. It was a rather silly song, as were most of her pieces, and the audience found themselves laughing at her lyrical choices. Even if the Sith were something to be feared in the galaxy, it was nice to find something to laugh about. By the time she entered the chorus for the final time, members of the audience had begun singing along with her and clapping in time with the beat.
When the song ended, the originally tepid crowd began to clap enthusiastically. Zee flashed them a large smile. "Thank you," she said, bowing. "Can you imagine how more approachable the First Order would be if that was there theme song?" From the dark blur that was the audience, she heard laughter, and she breathed an inward sigh of relief.
"Now in case you hadn't guessed already, I'm a Comedic Singer and Bard Extraordinare. I don't take myself or much of anything seriously, and neither should you. That being said, if you like anything you hear tonight, I'll be in a booth in the back after the show where you can buy my music, shirts, and stickers." She pointed towards the back of the room where she knew her merch table stood. "And now that business is out of the way, let's get back to more singing."
With that statement, she grabbed her hallikset off its stand and began her next song, completely oblivious to a fight happening outside somewhere down the street.

Raven watched on in placid silence as the clone of Loki peered begrudgingly at her and turned back to his counterpart with accusation on his lips. She wasn't quite sure what this holocron was- and she wasn't quite sure what would unfold, but she knew now that the true Loki might just go out of his way to protect innocent bystanders- which made the Jedi Master more comfortable.
And there it was. The Zabraks butted heads so to speak, and Loki pushed his clone out into the street. Slowly, Raven also stepped out of the Inn's door, hands resting on her twin lightsaber hilts- but before she could activate them, Zalor sailed past her- his own blade extending and his impressive Ataru springing him to life. Curious, Raven stood back this time- giving the two- Loki and Zalor a keen eye as she calmly made her way to the inner corner of the building, out of the way of the fight. She settled herself against the wall- and was about to close her eyes and center herself- when someone touched her shoulder.
Give me a lightsaber....
Anna whispered, extending her thin hand in anticipation.
At Raven's disapproving look, Anna tightened her hold on the Jedi's shoulder.
Trust me- You're going to wish you had of.
Begrudgingly, Raven handed one of her sabers over to the Seer, worry written on her face. You shouldn't even be out here... She said almost in a scolding manner.
Neither should he, Anna retorted, and turned her blind folded face back to the fight.
True...
Raven gave the girl a nod, and closed her eyes. Just remember- Last time I closed my eyes around you, you tried to stab me... Please don't do that again. With that, the Jedi master lowered her head and focused her energy on the light of the force- allowing it to pulsate out from her presence and center on Zalor's figure. She might not be in the fight- but at least she could help bolster her friend's vitality and resilience. Loki though- would have to fend for himself, because Raven was, after all, only a jedi.

The clone kept moving forward as Zalor jumped over him, anticipating the strikes but not daring to turn away from the true threat the clone threw up a hand and sent a blast of the force at the same time as Zalor's first swing, with only a second to spare, then clone then returned to his charge and clashed with his creator, swinging low with the blade and high with a kick to his chin, the blade was caught on Loki's glowing red saber as was the kick with Loki's free hand. "ZALOR!" Loki roared. "Do not kill the clone! Another will awake and take it's place, we must capture him alive and disable the others before we kill him!" Loki yelled while he struggled with the clone. "Kill me? KILL ME?" Hahahaha." The clone roared with laugher and spit in his makers face sending one of the sabers on his belt up and igniting it with the force forcing the real Loki to disengage and retreat a few paces. "Yes, you are a mistake, an aberration and I must finish you." Loki said quietly. "Like you could, I am you, you can't kill yourself." the real Loki shook his head the clone was clearly mental, fracturing from realizing the real Loki still lived or it was from the memories left out that he was acting this way.
"Zalor! Coming your way." Loki roared the clone looked confused for a moment before it was wrapped in a blanket of the force and suddenly launched back at the young Jedi Knight.

The clone Zabrak successfully parried the first barrage from Zalor, then, without hesitation, sent Zalor flying backwards towards the opposite side of the street with a mere flick of his hand. Zalor was instantly reminded of how powerful, and fortunately, how predictable Loki was. Had Zalor still been a scrub fresh from his training back on Dantooine, this mere telekinetic blast would've surely ended disastrously, with Zalor's body potentially slamming into the next building and crushing his bones. Now, however, the more experienced Zalor was ready. As soon as he felt himself flying, he let his own telekinetic mastery with the Force correct his body's trajectory as it flew across the street, then corrected himself so he could land boots first on the ground. He still painfully skidded across the street as he landed, correcting his body position by reverting to a kneeling posture so as to deflect as much of the impact as he could, then stood up, ready to get back in. "Grr, he never gets tired of that, doesn't he..." Zalor muttered to himself as he winced in pain.
As he stood back up, he began to feel a familiar sensation, one he recognized the last time he had seen his mother, Erris. His body being strengthened, his mind clear of noise, more so than usual. Battle Meditation, there was no mistaking it. Out of the corner of Zalor's eye, Zalor could spot Master Raven, and the child Anna, by the Ja'raak Inn's entrance, away from the fight. Zalor could tell by looking at her that Raven wasn't much of a physical fighter, but there was no denying the power she could wield. Her mastery with the Force was probably much stronger than his mother's, Zalor guessed. She wasn't in the fight, but Master Raven was helping in her own way, and that was good enough for Zalor.
"Zalor! Coming your way!" Loki's voice, the real Loki, bellowed at Zalor from across the street. A split second later - a large heavy object came speeding towards him - the body of the clone Loki: the unfortunate recipient of the real Loki's powerful blast of telekinetic energy. Zalor didn't have much time to question why Loki had sent him straight towards Zalor, rather than away from him. He opted to react, and he quickly dove out of the way, rolling across the ground and springing back to his feet as quickly as he could. He watched to see what would happen to the clone Loki, although he didn't doubt the clone wouldn't fare as well as Zalor did.

Raven kept her eyes closed, focusing her presence- her light, on Zalor's form, seeing him in her mind's eye as he battled against his massive adversary. She stood there, trusting the kid with a blindfold to keep her safe. Alora supposed it helped that Anna might actually know how this would turn out, she just hoped it didn't end with someone's death.
Is this going to turn out ok?
She whispered under her breath.
Really? You're going to ask me that? I'm not a whether forecaster.
Anna scoffed slightly, igniting the yellow blade and keeping an eye on the combatants. Good afternoon Theed- today will be cloudy, with a chance of bodies. Master Alora, I'd expect you of all people to know that's not how it works.
And with a huff, the Seer stopped talking, frowning at the situation as if she herself were trying to figure out the outcome.
She wasn't of course She already knew.

*Atton looked up from his plate, glad that the rather awkward silence between them had been broken, but wondering why Thea would want to leave so soon after getting back home. He quickly finished his slice and got up to go and find her, not a difficult task.*"Er...everything all right? Why don't you want to stay?" Thea heard Atton come in and turned to look at him. She handed him the picture that she just picked up. "That is my family. They are all dead. They died in a speeder crash and they are the reason I became a doctor. To prevent other families from going through what I had to go through. To save people. I could stay, I would do just fine, but if I go back, I could save so many more people just by helping the people on that ship. We could do something crazy, like save the universe." As she talked, something inside her lit up. There was a fire that started burning, she wouldn't be surprised if he could see it in her eyes. She wanted to help people, it was ingrained in her bones. If she had to leave, so be it.

*Atton felt a pang in his chest when Thea handed him the picture of her family and told him that they had all died. He could certainly relate to that, even if a speeder accident wasn't nearly as horrible as what had happened to his family. Still, he could certainly understand how Thea felt, her desire to leave and not be reminded of a terrible thing that had happened. Atton hadn't been to his home in a long time, content to be nearly anywhere else than the place where he had lost everything.
He nodded slowly.*"I understand. And I think I can help you with that."*He saw the way her eyes had lit up, but it was more than that. The Force was with her, and he wondered if she knew that.*"You have a gift, Thea. I'm not talking about your medical skills, I'm talking about something else. If you like, I can show you how to use it."

Thea looked up at him with such fierceness, a fierceness that she didn't even know she had. When he spoke of a gift, she wondered what he was talking about. Suddenly her mind was back in that hallway. When she screamed, she saw everyone go flying before she passed out. She was sure it was just a hallucination, but maybe she thought wrong. What was this gift? The force? She didn't really believe in that did she? She was a scientist, a doctor. Not someone that believed in that kind of stuff. Her vision swam a little bit. She knew that she still had a slight concussion and should be taking it easy. She nodded her head to his words and smiled. She would not show that she was still hurt. It would go away, she would be fine. "I would love for you to teach me" Why not, what was the worst thing that could happen? It wasn't as if it was real anyway. There was something about Atton that she liked. If this was an excuse to spend more time with him, she would take it. Atton Kaelan

*Atton honestly wasn't sure how well he could teach her, given how his last attempts to train others had gone. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to do anything resembling an adequate job of teaching her, but even as he was thinking this, a thought was occurring to him. He had been brought back from the brink of death for a reason, one that had eluded him for some time. Maybe now he had found it, a reason to keep going.
He smiled, a genuine smile for what felt like the first time in a long time.*"All right then. I'll teach you, Thea."

Thea smiled at Atton and reached for him to give him a hug. She didn't know what to expect but she didn't think she would like a guy this much after only just meeting him. She knew nothing about him but something just clicked. She couldn't explain it, but it made her want to do everything in her power to find out. Letting him go, she leaned back and smiled again. "Should we get back to everyone?"

*Sin frowns more. No. She wasn't seeing double. There are two... Or maybe she's out and this is some messed up dream. They both said different things to her. She frowns, getting a cross look on her face.*Choose or die? You wouldna break an oathes. Thatss no you at all. Stops this nonesense and apolo--- *In her drunkenness, she stumbled, trips, and hits on one of the zabraks large elbows, stumbles back and leans on the wall, dazed, she slides down to sit against the ground leaning on the wall. Her vision swirled and the area spun. She even dropped the bottle of Tihaar she'd carried with her.* Well, that was her cue. The drunk Twi'lek tried to stand up, but promptly fell back onto her chair as the world started spinning wildly around her. She gripped both the table and the back of her chair to try to center herself again, then once the world stopped spinning, she very slowly attempted to stand again. This worked out better for her, until she attempted to take a few steps forward. Now, instead of the world spinning, it seemed like it was going all topsy turvy, swaying back and forth. She stumbled and nearly fell if the blue and white astromech droid had not positioned itself just in front of her. She quickly grabbed hold of the top of it's dome as an anchor point. "Thanks Artooie. Come on, let's go get Sin. I think we're both about done for the night." Leaning almost entirely on the astromech, she carefully made her way towards the front entrance, where Sinina had collapsed on the floor against the wall. Once there, she held out her hand to the echani, in the hopes of pulling her off the ground. Unfortunately, the world decided at that moment to dip to the side, causing the Twi'lek to lose her balance and also collapse on the ground beside the dark skinned echani. Giggling at how ridiculous this was, she turned her head toward the front desk and called out. "Hehehehe, Vaaaiiillllllllliiieeeeeeeeeeee!! Iii miiiight neeeed a haaaaand heeeerrrreeeee!"

The clone twisted and pivoted spinning through the air and skidding to a halt down the road and tripping a little. The little Jedi had opted to avoid his mass rather than take a swing at him like his corpse most likely intended, a sign they had perhaps never fought together before. He sneered and sent a blast of lightning at the brat and surged forward towards his living corpse. "Your time is up, it is my turn!"
Loki shook his head and growled sending his own blast of lightning to intercept the others, causing a slight reaction where the two met, then the clone was on him again swinging wildly but they where perfectly matched, blow for blow it was like fighting a mirror. Finally after a furious exchange Loki slammed the clone into a wall smashing it down the clone stood and dusted itself off, instead of running for Loki it charged Zalor instead, light saber flashing moving to quick for Loki to intercept.

It would quickly become known to the fugitives of the Wayward Son, that battalions of Stormtroopers were hunting for them. Partly because of the black armoured death Troopers doing routine searching, but also because the various units of ISB black ops suddenly present on the planet were doing ruthless raids on any if their supposed locations....

--Inside the Ja'raak Inn---
[Beep-click-beep] Half feeling sorry for the two women and half annoyed at their drunkenness, R2-D4 rolled over to Tanara and Sinina, upon which the droid immediately retracted a tiny hose from inside his chassis and started to lightly spray them with water to try and get them to sober up faster.
Vaili, the poor, slightly disturbed Twi'lek assistant manager, who was still at the front desk, and nearly close to drinking on the job after witnessing all that was going on, couldn't decide whether to call the local Royal Police, or simply just tag out with Tomaas and go home early. She finally shook her head, sighed, and decided to go and help the two women up. She went over to Sinina first and guided the drunk Echani woman over to one of the Lobby's lounges, then to Tanara and helped her up to a chair near the front desk.
---Outside the Ja'raak Inn---
Zalor ducked out of the way as Loki intercepted the clone Loki, and decided to step back for a few seconds while the real Loki hammered away at him with his lightsaber. It was impressive to watch Loki essentially fight himself, but Zalor's respite didn't last long. Before long, the clone had targeted Zalor again and was charging at him, his saber coming straight towards his head.
Thankfully for Zalor, being much shorter and smaller than the two Lokis, he was able to duck his head just enough that it missed him high. He was ready to counter, and the two traded a few more strikes afterwards, the green of Zalor's blade making sparks fly as it met the clone's red saber blade.
At the first opportunity he could find, Zalor suddenly jumped up and kicked the clone Loki square in the chest. He wasn't actually sure this would do much the clone Loki, as Loki's stature was about as tough and rigid as a wroshyr tree. However, Zalor was able to also use this kick to propel his much lighter frame off of Loki's chest and away from him, putting a little bit of distance between him and the clone. This presented an opportunity for the real Loki to jump back in, or else it would give Zalor a few seconds to prepare before the clone Loki charged at him again. He smiled at the clone Loki confidently. Thanks to Raven's use of Battle Meditation and the adrenline rush from fighting alongside a former foe turned friend, Zalor was back in the game and ready for anything the clone could throw at him.
