During that inspection when they had been pulled over because clearly he swerved dramatically from being taken by surprised, Forcias who usually managed to keep an impassive expression had been staring blankly right in front of him. The only thing he had done was to hand over his IDs and nod still with that caught off guard expression to the officer while Lucine did all the talking. She sounded so innocent and clearly was good with white lies while Forcias controlled for the time being his emotions, his breath and his thoughts. . .
. . . At least until the RSF officer finally turned around and just let them go, him with a simple warning.
Still unable to find his own voice because his mind was still racing with what Lucy had just done, Forcias continued to pilot to their desired destination, the ferry. He heard loud and clear what she had told him and he just couldn’t believe that she was acting like nothing had happened at all. It was only when they got there and when he stopped the airspeeder did Forcias finally turn to look at her with this time a mischievous expression while he briefly bit his lower lip and chuckled.
“What I think is that you are, the biggest tease ever. . .” Said Forcias as he placed both of his hands on her cheeks and leaned over to kiss her lips and nip teasingly her lower one. Chuckling when he pulled his head back as he rolled his eyes, Forcias gestured for them to roll out after he took their bags but he was already thinking of a retribution too. . .
And he knew just the way, although he was going to be cheating with the use of the Force which he started to do now slowly by beginning to brush her inner thigh. . .
“Are you coming?” Asked he curiously before looking at her with a very serious expression and warm smile as if he weren’t doing anything right now. “Oh and as for your ideas tomorrow, I am perfectly fine with that.” He added on nonchalantly and a quick wink. . .

Lucy adopts a confused expression when Forcias calls her a tease, smirking as she replies, "Biggest ever huh? Getting out of the speeder and shading her eyes as she looks for the ferry, Lucy says in amused tone, I'm pretty sure I've done plenty more than tease, but okay. As she follows Forcias towards the line that is gathering for the ferry, Lucy feels something on her inner thigh and stops in her tracks, a confused expression on her face as she swats at her dress, thinking an insect or something has gotten on her. A smile slowly quirking the corner of her lips up when she realizes what is really going on, Lucy punches Forcias in the arm and says, Cute. Don't do that, she adds with a slightly nervous laugh; not a Force user herself, Lucy has more than a passing respect for whatever it is that allows Force users to do the things they are capable of, and somehow finds the idea of it being used for anything trivial or unnecessary disrespectful. Wrapping her arm in his, Lucy hopes she doesn't offend Forcias when she explains, It just feels wrong, you know?"
The ferry ride to Kaadara is nice, Lucy asking Forcias to come with her up to the main deck so they can watch the sun set over the ocean. Lifting her face to enjoy the wind in her hair and the slight spray from the waves on her face, Lucy's expression darkens briefly when she sees the green-blue moon of Rori in the sky with Naboo's other two moons upon opening her eyes; reminded of the Nagai that had tried to take out the geek when they were there not long ago. Pressing herself closer to Forcias, who had healed her of the wounds inflicted by the Nagai, Lucy finds it easy enough to set the memories aside, though she does not explain why she gently kisses Forcias on the cheek a moment later.
The oceanside city of Kaadara is just as beautiful and luxurious as advertised, and Lucy feels almost underdressed in her more casual dress after they disembark from the ferry and she notes the preponderance of pampered, rich looking beings moving around the city. The feeling does not persist long, Lucy never having been inclined to care about the opinions of those she does not know or respect, and the festive, leisurely air of the resort town proving infectious. Taking their time, Lucy and Forcias walk along a beach towards a cluster of outdoor cafes that should provide them with plenty of options for dinner. "We definitely need a laying around on the beach day, Lucy says happily as they near the cafes, This beach is gorgeous. We'll do the diving tomorrow and just chill the next day before heading back to the cabin, Lucy suggests, Sound good?"

Forcias looked at her with an amused expression and blinked once. “Yes you did, but did you actually wanted me to point out the obvious?” Asked Forcias thoughtfully before he tilted his head briefly on the side with a warm smile until he completely shut off his connection to the Force, he wasn’t offended at all and yes he did understand what she meant, and also he wasn’t even going to continue that anyways.
Because it was indeed wrong. . .
Their trip towards Kaadara turned out to be pleasant even though at one moment, something caught his attention but he did not say anything about, instead he just held Lucy closer to him protectively and he just accepted the kiss on his cheek in silence. He had been made aware of what had happened there in Rori but he never said anything about it, so for now, just for now he just held her close to him and kissed the top of her head for the same reasons, to which maybe she wasn’t aware of, she did.
When they finally get to their intended destination, Forcias felt somewhat out of place even though he had been to this place before when he visited Elika to pay his respects for the loss of her parents. But he did not quite see it this way, probably because the Hekekia residence was outside of Kaadara. He still looked around because it was what he usually did, just to get familiar with an unfamiliar place to him until he focused his attention onto her with a knowing smile.
“Now that is more like it.” Said Forcias as he halted their progression and just selected a random café that was also serving some food, he looked at her thoughtfully. “Let’s grab something to eat first and we can settle in?” He suggested thoughtfully before grinning as another thought came to mind. “Or we can settle in, maybe call in room service to have some food, Ayla did hand me several credit chips. So let’s just take a stab at this luxury thing, it’s after all somewhat the point of being here too in Kaadara?” Usually Forcias wouldn’t be comfortable with all of that luxury because that wasn’t him, but right now he was given some money to spend and from the count it seemed quite a lot for his two weeks off and he actually had no apprehension to spending that in a silly way.

"We're here, Lucy points out with a grin, and besides, the beach view beats a room, don't you think? Leaning close as she takes his arm and starts leading them towards the hostess, Lucy whispers, Plus, I can think of better things to do once we get to the room than order room service. As the hostess leads them to a table, Lucy promises, We'll do the luxury thing in the morning; order breakfast in bed before we head out for the diving."
After they have placed their orders, Lucy takes out her datapad to show Forcias the locations available for scuba diving so that they can pick one together, and she books their spots on the dive boat before their drinks and meals arrive. Their plans for the following day leads to the two sharing past experiences with scuba diving, Lucy having done dives before on several worlds despite the fact she prefers climbing to the sport, and that topic leads to others in a way that keeps the talk flow along in the increasingly easy way that has marked their trip thusfar.
After dinner, they check into their hotel and Lucy suggests that they walk on the beach that is practically right out their back door, and she finds the soft crashing of the waves and the feel of the wet sand and water beneath her feet relaxing enough that she can feel herself leaving all of her stresses and worries further and further behind her. She knows that they will be waiting for her back on Umgul, but Lucy also feels that they won't seem as unmanageable or daunting now that Forcias has become a larger part of her life than he had been before.
The following morning. . .
Breakfast in bed having led to other things in it as well, Lucy leans on an elbow looking at Forcias as she absently traces the contours and planes of his face with her fingertips. Looking from Forcias to the chrono on the bedside table, Lucy drums her palms on his chest and cheerily announces, "Time to gear up dope, before hopping nimbly from the bed. The boat will supply the tanks and masks and all that crap, Lucy explains, so we don't have to pack much. Tossing a towel and few other items into a small shoulder bag after putting on her yellow bikini, Lucy gathers her hair in a loose ponytail, slips on some sandals, and then puts on a yellow floral patterned beach wrap over her suit. Seeing that Forcias is nearly ready as well, Lucy sweeps her wallet, sunglasses and a bright yellow cap into the shoulder bag and says, Let's move out," as she heads for the doors leading onto the beach, from where they have only a brief walk to the docks where they will meet their dive boat.

Forcias had never felt this kind of feeling before, he had never been in a situation where he stayed longer with someone than necessary in his own opinion, but now it was quite different, he always found himself to constantly wanting to be with Lucy. The evening before was quite entertaining with their random talks, the random subjects they had come to talk about and at least he was finding out more and more about her, and with that he could just feel that maybe he was also falling for her more and more.
It was hard for him to deny that, and it was also difficult for him to just come out and say it, at the same time though, it scared him but it also made him feel serene, if that was actually possible? He did not know but he really hadn’t felt this happy in a long time and he just couldn’t believe that it was here with her while they were enjoying a vacation. Part of him apprehended their return to their real life, and he was hoping he could freeze the time right here and right now. Alas, that was impossible so he was going to make the most of it. . .
By being with her here and now.
Forcias had been lying comfortably on the bed and each traces of her fingertips around his face just made him look at her in silence but with that smile on his features. He knew that they were supposed to go and get into their activity but right now, he was perfectly content to just staying here and just keep on looking at her in silence. Only when she told him that it was time to gear up did he let a groan in playful protest and he just sat up on the bed and stretched a little bit before getting fully out retrieving what he was going to need from his duffle bag. A Bermuda, a towel and some running shoes and from time to time he did look at her with a prominent smile.
Putting a shirt over his head, he wondered for a brief moment if he should even grab his lightsaber and unable to actually let go of a habit, he did but placed that into the bag he was going to carry right in the middle of the towel he had placed in and the pouch that had been given to him by Ayla.
“Never figured you to be into the floral pattern type. . .” Commented Forcias as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders when they did make their way out of their room. He had a smile again and he leaned closer to her ear as he added on teasingly. “I do like what is beneath all of that, though.”
Chuckling at the thought, he walked over towards the docks where they would be meeting that monitor or something, Forcias looked curiously at her and tilted his head on the side. “Do you know around which part we’ll be diving?” Asked Forcias curiously because he knew that there were some parts that were off limits more or less due to the presence of some sando aqua monsters and now he really was glad to have brought his lightsaber that actually worked under water because that could be very problematic not only for him but especially for Lucy. . .

"It's all they had, Lucy says, crinkling her nose and agreeing, Not really my style, but it'll do. Grinning as she slips her arm around his waist after he puts his arm around her shoulders as they start out along the beach for the docks, she answers his question by grinning and joking, Hopefully somewhere we don't need to worry about being eaten by anything, right? and then more seriously explains, It's a cave dive, and the description said we'll be somewhere not too far off the coast of Theed. I'm sure our guide will explain it in more depth," she adds, looking down to take her cap from her bag and putting it on, sliding her ponytail through the slot at the back.
They are not the first divers to arrive, three other couples or groups already prepping their gear when the guide, a burly Mon Calamari, greets them and welcomes them aboard. After giving them a quick tour of the boat and showing them where they can stow their things, the Mon Calamari tells them they will be setting out in twenty minutes and then leads them to the area where the air tanks and other equipment are stored so they can begin getting prepped for the dive. The weather is, as forecasted, bright and sunny, but Lucy can see some dark clouds off in the distance that suggest that they could be in for some rain later, which isn't too worrying since it would take a pretty severe storm to interfere with a dive.
After finding a pair of fins, mask, air tank, weight belt, and all of the other odds and ends she needs, Lucy waits for Forcias to get his and they join the other divers getting ready on the top deck. As she checks her BCD and regulator after getting them attached to her air tank, Lucy grins as she asks Forcias, "You need any help there dope? Or have you done this before?"

If Forcias wasn’t wearing his aviators right now, Lucy would have seen him widening his eyes at the joke she had just delivered. . . But before he could say something about that, the moment he found out that it was going to be a cave dive off the coast of Theed, Forcias’ expression became somber this time.
She actually couldn’t mean that place, right? No, it was impossible for him and right now it maybe would have shown if he wasn’t wearing his sunglasses, but throughout the remainder of that walk towards the dock where they had been greeted by the guide, from ever since Lucy told him something about that cave or those caves, whatever, everything he had been doing was on automatic, like getting the air tank, the fins, the mask and even the weight belt. Really everything he was doing was just mindlessly because his mind went blank at that.
The moment he looked up when he heard Lucy asking him if he needed any help, he started to look at the gears and took a deep breath before he removed his sunglasses to let them sit atop his head. “Huh?” Clearly he was distracted, and he took a deep breath and looked at her with a faint smile.
Cave diving, there couldn’t be just one cave there, right? From that perspective, Forcias took a deep breath and chuckled before nodding slightly remembering her question. “Uh yeah done this before but,” Forcias lifted the air tank and the weight belt as he glanced at those momentarily until he looked back at her with a sheepish smile. “Never needed these.” He explained with a warm smile but clearly just by looking at her he just got it in a way.
Fact was, Forcias whenever he went under water, he wasn’t the type to need an air tank because he had that ability that enabled him to hold his breath for however long he wanted and still he could keep on doing things if and when it was necessary. Though he knew he would have to play the game and act as though he was just that regular person too, so he outfitted himself with everything that was necessary for diving.
“Tell me though, when you say cave off the coast of Theed, you don’t mean Eleuabad, right?” Asked Forcias with a nervous chuckle because not only he knew about those caves for having heard about them concerning some people back on Umgul but it was also where those sando aqua monsters were highly present. Yeah, he was going to need his lightsaber, that was for sure, and thank the Force he actually brought it, so he retrieved that from his bag and attached that to his ankle.

Lucy arches an eyebrow in confusion when Forcias says that he has never needed an air tank when diving, asking, "How's that . . . guessing that he must have some Force ability that enables him to dive without normally using an air tank, she says, Riiiight, the Force, right? Shrugging a shoulder, she suggests, If you don't want to deal with the extra gear, don't. I don't think anyone will mind." Pursing her lips in thought when he asks about the caves they will be diving in, Lucy starts to answer, but is interrupted by one of the other divers on the tour that has just arrived and overheard Forcias' question.
The bare chested, muscular, dark blonde haired human with his arm around the waist of a bikini clad, blonde haired, blue eyed humanoid female that has just arrived drawls, "Like, no dude, Eleuabad is totally not a cool place to dive. We're, like, divin' a bit south of it, where there's no . . . recognizing Lucine, the human smiles broadly and says, Whoa! Lucy! Like, I totally thought you were all back on Umgul."
Lucine smiles a bit awkwardly as she says, "Yeah, well, I was there, but now I'm here. Forcias, she reaches over and takes Forcias' hand as she introduces him, this is . . ." and draws a blank, squinting as she tries to remember the surfer's name.
"Cillian, the surfer offers, prompting her, Surfer dude, remember? then waves a hand as he says cheerfully, Don't worry about it, and nods to Forcias, Nice to meet you dude! Introducing the woman on his arm, he says, Saoirse, meet Lucy and Forcias. Lucy and I, like, uh, met a while back, yeah. Good times. Saoirse waves a greeting as Cillian scratches the back of his head and says, Yeah, so, like, don't sweat the caves dude. Just stick with the group in the caves so ya don't, like, get lost and wind up in Eleuabad and you'll be, like, totally fine. Hey, he says with a grin, if you're, like, worried, just stick by us. I've totally dived the caves we'll be in loads of times. I know all the passages to avoid."

Lincoln, unlike the rest of the people in the group on the boat, did not need those futile equipments. He wasn't there for the hobby of diving, no he was there to do something and actually check something out. Although currently he might have been passing for someone who wasn't attuned to the Force, upon further inspection, his signature seemed to be leaning towards the dark side. But he wasn't hiding that fact, and yes he was, is attuned to the Force and yes he is a darksider but right now he had no intentions of doing anything reckless, he was here on a mission...
Lincoln was the athletic type, so when he stood up to his full height after he had geared himself with his hunting knife on his biceps, he could not help but to overhear something that perked up his interest. Glancing towards that surfer dude who seems to be doing all the talking, and in Lincoln's honest opinion sounded like a degenerate knowing nothing at all, he shakes his head with a somewhat bored look. Do you really think that the Kiffar is that worried? Lincoln asks very dryly, Sure Forcias did chuckle nervously, and sure he might have sounded uncertain when he had posed the question, but upon gazing further at that Kiffar, Lincoln noticed a few things that might not have been obvious to that surfer dude.
Lincoln could not perceive a signature about that Kiffar, but the three others, he could and quite clearly but the difference between the three others and that Kiffar, the latter has a lightsaber hilt on his ankle. At least Lincoln could see that it was enough to make it look like a hilt due to the shape and form of it. Not really thinking further about that, Lincoln shrugs and looks at the surfer dude or Cillian whatever his name is. If you only knew what Eleuabad held, you wouldn't hold that same refrain...
Lincoln turned around to face the ocean again with that determined look on his features. He closed his eyes momentarily and took a deep breath before making sure that he had not only securely attached his hunting knife on his bicep but also his only lightsaber that could go into the water onto his leg. He could only assume something, especially when he had overheard that planet mentioned. It seemed that Lucy and Forcias were from Umgul and he just couldn't believe that out of all the time they could be here, and that he also could be here, it would end up being at the same time...
The last time he had heard about Umgul, it was because he had sent someone there to find another someone. Now that he thought about it, Lincoln wouldn't be surprised to find out that Forcias who really seemed to be the sole Force user knew a certain Andros Vyridian. As for the woman with him, it didn't matter much, right now he only had an order, and that order was to access Eleuabad, no matter what. Noticing that they were nearing their diving site, Lincoln took a deep breath and put on his mask along with his fins. Not really needing or waiting to be given the clear by he guide, because he actually wasn't here for a hobby. Lincoln dropped into the water without an air tank...

Forcias still had that sheepish expression on his features until Lucy asked him how he could actually manage to dive without an air tank. He nodded when she guessed the correct answer before saying. “That’s correct, Ms. Right.” It amused him because, she really wasn’t going to let go of that word that got him to define her originally as peculiar. . .
Although before he could say anything, like he was still going to use the air tank because he did not want to pass up as someone who could in fact manipulate the Force, Forcias looked over Lucy’s shoulder when he noticed that a guy with a woman were approaching them. Forcias swore he recognized that man from somewhere. Right the surfer dude!
It was confirmed by himself when he was referred as such and honestly, currently he was quite amused due to the fact that Lucine did not remember, or maybe he should say, that Lucine never gave a damn about the surfer dude’s name. Although his gaze did automatically land on Saoirse because he was still a guy and he had to admit that she was good looking too. Forcias only inclined his head as a greeting to both Cillian and Saoirse and before he could say anything further, his attention was quickly caught by a man that had addressed them in general.
Forcias looked at that unfamiliar man and frowned slightly. Yes, it was obvious that Forcias was a Kiffar and yes he might have been worried but that was certainly not about whatever things that surrounded Eleuabad, he was more concerned at what laid in those caves. It also sounded to Forcias that the man potentially knew what Eleuabad held. Upon looking closer at the guy who was it seemed going to dive without an air tank too, Forcias’ eyes narrowed and he took a deep breath.
Darksider. . .
It was the sole word that stole his mind right then and there. “Drek,” Muttered Forcias as he completely removed his air tank from his back and looked at Lucy with a concerned expression. “Luce, I am so sorry to do this. . .” Began to say Forcias before he placed his hands on her cheeks just to look into her eyes, there was conflict in his own, that much was a given. After all they were both on leave and this was supposed to be a vacation, but there was no way that he was going to let the man who had just dived into the water reach those caves.
“Stay with them, please,” Said Forcias, but he wasn’t going to hold his breath anyways, he knew that Lucine could be stubborn and since right now he wasn’t explaining the reasons why, he knew that he was just going to leave her confused in a way. “There are things in Eleuabad that should remain untouched. . .” He knew that his explanations made no sense, but right now, he couldn’t let someone that he did not know get to those caves to do whatever he might be doing.
“I can’t let him reach those caves.” Forcias dropped his hands from her cheeks and looked at the surfer dude and his date with a serious expression. “If anything, just anything happens to her, I will find you and make you wish you have never met me. Understood?” Forcias said in Cillian’s direction, and no he wasn’t kidding, and he knew that Lucy could take care of herself but Cillian made it sound that he was the pro there, so the ball was in his court.
Forcias grabbed his mask and his fins putting those on before he dived head first into the water. . .

Lucy grins when Forcias calls her Ms. Right, telling him, "I like that better as a pet name dope, but I think you need to keep working on finding the right one. Turning when another of the divers on the tour says something to Cillian in a dry, sarcastic tone, Lucy looks from him to Forcias with an amused look, wondering who the man is trying to impress. Her amusement fades when she sees the expression on Forcias' face, but before she can ask him anything things, as they can do, suddenly go sideways and to speed up. The man dives into the ocean without any gear, which would have seemed more off had she and Forcias not talked about how those attuned to the Force might be able to dive without needing any gear. No sooner has Lucy come to the conclusion that the man is a Force user, which takes only a second, than Forcias is apologizing for what he is about to do. Shaking her head, knowing what her dope is about to do, Lucy manages to growl, No frelling way you're going without me," before, talking right over her, tells her to stay and, after telling Cillian what will happen if anything happens to her, then dives into the ocean after the other Force user.
Lucy is already on her feet, shouldering into her BCD after slipping her mask over her head to hang around her neck, when the sound of the splash from Forcias' entering the water is subsiding. "Hey, whoa, like chill Luce, Cillian says, reaching out to take hold of her arm gently, I think your dude, like, wanted you to . . . stopping when Lucy shoots him a warning glare, continuing to prepare to go after Forcias. Cillian runs his hands through his hair and moans, Oh man," and then starts getting his own gear on as quickly as he can.
"What are you doing?" asks Saiorse in a confused, worried expression.
"You heard the dude, Cillian says, turning to look over his shoulder as he hears the splash from Lucy entering the water, I gotta make sure, like, nothing happens to her. I'm pretty sure, he explains, grabbing his fins and heading for the edge of the boat, he, like, wasn't kidding about what he'll do if . . ."
"Take these lad, the gruff, rumbling voice of the Mon Calamari dive guide says, tossing Cillian one Firearc49 speargun and then another when the human turns around. Stay with the rest of them, the Mon Cal tells his boat's pilot, informing Cillian, I'm coming with you too, and adjusting the strap for the quiver of additional spears on his waist. Tossing a small underwater personal propulsion device to Cillian, the burly Mon Cal, named Kanja, says, Try and keep up," before diving over the side of the boat gracefully.
Finished donning his own gear, Cillian swings the straps of the spearguns over a shoulder, grins as confidently as he can and tells Saoirse, "Don't worry babe," and then jumps over the side of the boat. Using the small diver propulsion vehicle, Cillian is able to catch up with Lucy despite her head start easily enough, putting an arm around her waist so so the DPV can carry them both. They can't talk, so Cillian raises his eyebrows to ask where the others are, to which Lucy replies by pointing below and east of their position. Spotting Kanja swimming swiftly and powerfully for what looks like the entrance to an underwater cave, Cillian nods and then ramps the DPV's speed up to full to try and catch up with the Mon Cal and the two humans.

By the time Lincoln reaches the entrance of the caves, he stops suddenly and turns around only to see that the Kiffar is there, but also a group of people that are tailing him, one of them is the guide. Lincoln cannot help but to smirk mischievously before lifting his arm as he remains in a state of suspension in the water. Wiggling his right index finger from left to right as if to tell him to not even think about following him further, Lincoln points towards the west to make him aware of something incoming... That incoming creature really seems large and incoming quickly in the direction of the two humans. Lincoln was actually rejoicing at that fact that moment he noticed that it was a sando aqua monster. That will buy him some time, at least that is what Lincoln thought Until he sent a powerful Force push in the Kiffar's direction and the Mon Cal to distract them and prevent them from following him as he retreats towards the entrance of the cave and at his passage causing a cave in that would deny them access at this entrance.
Despite being a dark sider, Lincoln wasn't the type to hunger for a fight all the time, if he could, he actually avoided those, or at least he resorted to dueling as a last option sort of thing and right now, he was just glad that the 200 meters long sando aqua monster would keep everyone occupied until he reached those catacombs that he knew once belonged, or at least still belongs to the three human noble houses of Coruscant...
Lincoln continued his under water swim towards the location he had memorized and the moment he got into an opening, he swam upwards noticing that water was lacking in this area, so he couldn't be that far. Finally he was able to breathe again which was why he opened his mouth and took a deep breath before smirking as he removed his mask and pushed himself up into the unsubmerged part of the cave. Lincoln looks around for clues and smiles when he distinctly recognizes three logos and a writing that said. "Return from whence you came" Right, as if...
Despite that inscription there, Lincoln just continued his way towards where he knew the prize was. He stopped on his tracks at some point and growled noticing that he just couldn't advance further because these caves were protected and only lightsabers could pass through here... Obviously he was far from being a lightsaber and he was soon attacked by an unseen Force that made him relive some torments, the desperation, the anger and the chaos he had inflicted to people in the past. He felt like he was reliving that. Lincoln crumbled onto the ground and screamed in pain, his eyes even turned white due to his Arkanian heritage. He tried to call the Force to place a barrier around him but it was so difficult with the ongoing torment he was going through. Not having a choice right now, since he wasn't equipped for this, he turned around and stumbled towards the exit of those catacombs...

Forcias had clearly gone under water after adjusting his mask; he was in pursuit of that unknown man still wondering what the hell he would want with what was hidden in Eleuabad? But Forcias couldn’t pursue his thoughts when he felt that Lucy was clearly closer than he had anticipated and that only meant one thing. . . She really did follow him.
Before he could even warn her to leave now, Forcias noticed right before him that Lincoln had stopped at the entrance of the cave, he had that mischievous smile that meant trouble and clearly Lincoln seemed to be taunting him until he pointed someplace.
Forcias looked over his shoulders and when he did, he saw what that darksider meant but because he could backtrack, he felt a push on his entire being that made him entirely float back several meters away from the cave’s entrance that was now all but denied. Forcias couldn’t think about that right now when he saw that there was a sando aqua monster incoming.
LUCINE!!! WATCH OUT!
She was the only one he knew intimately and he obviously was more connected to her than he would ever be with a stranger, that surfer dude. Forcias gritted his teeth and swam as quickly as possible in the two humans’ direction as he already started to concentrate on the Force and call it upon him so he could create a Force Whirlwind powerful enough in the monster’s direction to push him back long enough that they then find a way to find some cover. . .
Swimming past Lucy and Cillian, Forcias extended his arms in the direction of the sando aqua monster to push him away, hopefully that would buy them some time before the fiend come. Just in case though, Forcias grabbed his lightsaber hilt from the holder on his ankle and activated it, letting that blue blade come to life in front of him.
He glanced at Lucy and gestured for her to find an opening where they could take cover and quickly because the other entrance was shut off.

Kanja, the Mon Cal dive guide that has decided to aid the trio of humans that have elected to pursue the forth that was first to dive into the ocean, is so intent on closing the distance that divides him from the Force users that are ahead of him in the ocean that he fails to notice when the first human stops and turns to face him, but not so intent that he does not see the massive head of the sando aqua monster emerge from the cloud of sand it's powerful hind legs stir from the ocean floor as it surges towards the prey that has entered its hunting grounds. Arcing his upper torso towards the rocky face of the underwater cliffside that is home to several caves to try and reach the shelter they might provide, Kanja is sent spinning out of control towards the cliff wall and away from the approaching sando aqua monster's questing mouth by the Force push that Lincoln sends towards him and the Kiffar.
Lucy, squinting her eyes as the almost painfully forceful telepathic shout Forcias uses to warn her reaches her mind and echoes through it, shakes her head and, the threat he had meant to warn her of obvious, twists free from Cillian's arm and reaches over to pull his hands from the controls of the DPV, sending it hurtling on ahead for the sando aqua monster's gaping maw as it opens wide to swallow her and Cillian. Without hesitation, her instincts, honed in countless battles taking over and overriding the inevitable panic that being in mortal peril brings, Lucy reaches over and takes one of the Firearc49 spearguns from Cillian's shoulder and fires a quartet of blaster bolts towards the DPV as it enters the creatures mouth just as the whirlwind Forcias sends towards it reaches it's lower body.
The DPV explodes in the sando aqua monster's chest, the creature's bulk sent off course by the underwater whirlwind, and it thrashes out of control, in pain and disoriented by the whirlwind, a cloud of blood, tissue, and bubbles obscuring the extent of the damage from the DPV. Lucy shoves Cillian out of the way of the creature's flailing left upper arm, it's claws passing harmlessly through the water where Cillian had been an instant before, and she then is knocked downwards by it's neck as it's powerful tail slices through the depths on a course for Forcias . . .

With the succession of events. . . Forcias still had his focus onto Lucy but then he noticed that unthinkable because he wasn’t quick enough, like right now he wasn’t quick enough. Only when he turned his head did he notice that the sando’s powerful tail was slicing in his direction. With how massive it was, with how heavy it looked like, Forcias barely managed to escape with the help of the Force to speed himself up. . .
Barely because, the tail managed to whip his back when he turned to swim away in Lucy’s direction, Forcias opened his mouth from the pain he felt but there was no sound that came out instead water entered his system as before his whirlwind, he had to stop using a barrier and still he had not placed that back up.
Not really thinking about himself by now despite the wide diagonal injury on his back, Forcias continued to swim quickly in Lucy’s direction to retrieve her, he had retracted his lightsaber and got a hold of her before she was even brought down deeper by that fiend. Forcias hooked his arm around her waist and swam away or at least as far as he could from that area. . .
He knew that he should probably think about grabbing that Mon Cal and that surfer dude, but he was in pain and each of his movements now were sending shots of pain in his being. He also felt like he was going to run out of oxygen, despite his ability to control his breath but now that he had water inside of him and that he was injured, Forcias started to lose his focus right now and it showed when his hold onto Lucy was weakening. . .
He wasn’t blaming her for coming, and actually he was quasi certain that she would because she was stubborn but for the two others to have followed, that was the worst thing ever. . . Despite on the verge of losing consciousness, Forcias still continued to look around until he found an opening that led to those caves and with all of his might he started to swim in that direction while barely holding onto Lucy. . .

The murky water, made more difficult to see in with all of the sand stirred by the sando aqua monster's leap from the ocean floor, the turbidity created by Forcias' whirlwind, and the cloud of blood released by the creature's wound, make Lucy momentarily lose all sense of up and down as her efforts to find a way from beneath the creature's weight meet with little success, and she feels a sense of panic beginning to build as the wounded beast begins twisting to either flee or pursue those still in the open ocean. Fortunately for her, Lucy is pulled from beneath the creature by someone, a strong arm hooking around her waist and then swimming away from the creature.
Seeing that it is Forcias that has saved her affords her some relief, though it is short lived as she can see that he is in pain and knows that he will be fighting to maintain the concentration he needs to manipulate the Force to breathe underwater. Risking a look over her shoulder as she joins her efforts to swim to his, Lucy sees the sando aqua monster's head break out of the cloud of blood and sand, its wounds obviously not enough to deter it from making a meal of those that have ventured into its hunting grounds. The speargun lost when she had been struggling beneath the beast, Lucy knows that only by reaching the safety of the caves, too small for the creature to enter, will prevent her and Forcias from becoming temporary residents of the beast's stomach, and she hooks one arm around Forcias' waist and redoubles her efforts to swim towards the caves.
Cillian, seeing that Lucy and Forcias are in peril, floats and brings the second speargun to bear on the back of the sando aqua monster's head and fires off a volley of blaster bolts followed by a spear to try and divert its attention. Were his regulator not in his mouth, Cillian would grin when seeing the creature turn from Forcias and Lucy, shaking its relatively uninjured head more in fury than pain as it uses its arms to reorient itself on a course for Cillian. Guessing that the speargun's blaster bolts are incapable of piercing the beast's hide, Cillian dives downward and towards the cloud of sand and blood to try and hide within it.
Lucy takes her second stage, the second regulator most scuba divers have in the event they lose their primary or its hose becomes damaged, and guides it to Forcias' mouth so that he can breathe on his own as they near the caves, risking a second look over her shoulder once it is in place to see where the sando aqua monster is. Seeing Cillian disappear into the sand and blood cloud, which is beginning to thin out as the undulation of the ocean moves it, Lucy curses in her head as the creature is not far behind him. A series of bright flashes suddenly pierce the sea, streaking towards the sando's shoulders, and Lucy looks upwards towards where the bolts came from to see the Mon Cal firing at the beast.
Kanja, bleeding from his right shoulder which had been torn when he impacted with the underwater cliff face, fires a second volley towards the creature with the speargun in his right web-fingered hand, motions urgently towards a dark opening in the cliff face near Lucy and Forcias with his left, urging them to enter the caves. When the two humans disappear into the murky depths of the cave, Kanja kicks his webbed feet to swim towards the area the sando and Cillian had disappeared into, the murky depths of the sea swallowing them for the time being.
Once inside the caves, Lucy stops before the light from outside is lost to them and gently pushes Forcias away from her so she can check his wounds. Giving Forcias a thumbs up to ask if he is alright, Lucy turns him away from her, wincing inside her head as she sees the red outline of the sando's tail, knowing that it will make for interesting brusies later, if there is a later. Having dived over the side of the boat without properly gearing up, Lucy has no light, no medical supplies, and now that she has lost the speargun, no weapon either. Turning Forcias back around, Lucy holds up a finger to tell him to wait, and then cautiously swims closer to the cave entrance to see what has befallen the others. Waving her hand urgently to have Forcias swim further into the caves, having seen the Mon Cal, towing an unconscious and bleeding Cillian behind him, swimming for the cave entrance with the sando not far behind.
The Mon Cal and Cillian reach the caves, Kanja motioning for Lucy and Forcias to move further inside, just as the beast rams into the cliff face outside the caves. A medium size chunk of rock falls from the ceiling of the cave along with several others, momentarily trapping Lucy's right leg but not causing more than a few superficial scratches, but the Mon Cal helps her free her foot from her fin and passes Cillian's unconscious form to her as the sando forces a claw tipped paw into the cave and blindly swipes it around in fury. Kanja's back is torn badly, but, pushing Lucy ahead of him into the darkness ahead, he soon escapes the beast's reach.
Unable to see anything, Lucy blindly gropes for Forcias, searching his ankle and then hands for his lightsaber hilt and, when she finds it, ignites it after waving a hand in front of her to make sure she will not injure anyone, The blade's glow illuminates the narrow cave passage, and Lucy looks around to check that everyone is still alive. Pulling Cillian closer, Lucy hands the lightsaber back to Forcias and then smacks the unconscious surfer back into consciousness. Cillian has deep gashes in his right leg from the sando's claws, and a nasty looking cut on the right side of his head, but he comes around and gives a shaky thumbs up. Lucy shrugs her shoulders and gestures around the cave to silently ask where they should go, hoping Cillian was not bullshitting them when he said he knew the underwater caverns well. Cillian nods, giving another thumbs up and, after looking around to try and get his bearings, points ahead of them and motions to the left.
After several minutes of following Cillian, the group reaches a pool leading upward into a small, unflooded cavern. Reaching the edge of the pool and pulling himself upward, Cillian helps the others out and then sits, putting a hand over his wounded leg to try and staunch the bleeding. Grinning, his face pale from shock and blood loss, Cillian tells Forcias a bit loopily, "I, like, kept her from getting hurt dude, just like you told me, and then asks Kanja, You alright duder?"
Kanja nods, sitting with his knees drawn up to his chest, his large eyes rolling fitfully as he takes in their surroundings.
Lucy lets her regulator hang from her BCD, kneeling beside Forcias and asking, "You good dope? Leaning forward to kiss his forehead, Lucy's relief is evident even as she growls at him, Next time wait for me dope. I can't watch your six if you leave me behind. Looking over at Cillian, Lucy asks, Can you tell us how to get to Eleuabad from here?"
Cillian holds his free hand up and says, "Whoa, whoa, you can't be thinking about going after that other dude Luce. I mean, like, yeah, I can get you there, but, he gestures towards his wounded leg, I don't know how much I'll be other than that. Looking at Forcias, Cillian says, You gotta, like, talk her out of it dude."

From ever since Forcias had gotten a hold of Lucy, he was completely oblivious to what was going on around him or even behind him. Right now, he only had one goal and one goal only that was to bring the woman he was with to safety. . . The woman he loved, probably. His mind was so scattered though that he was losing his focus and quickly too. He could no longer keep concentrating correctly, not only due to the pain that his back was causing him but also the fact that he had drawn so much from the Force when he caused that whirlwind that he no longer had a barrier around him, and it caused the water entering his orifices. He might suffocate soon if it weren’t for the fact that he was still holding onto that thread that he had to bring Lucy to safety. . .
He was on the verge of losing consciousness ergo losing his hold onto the Force when he felt a regulator brought to his mouth. From there on, the pain was more bearable, he was breathing softly and evenly until he removed the regulator from his mouth to regurgitate the water he had swallowed. Still he was oblivious to the ongoing events around him. It wasn’t until he had reached the caves’ entrance that he felt better and more in control of himself, he was more alert than he was a few seconds ago and when Lucy asked him if he was okay with her thumb up, Forcias inclined his head and returned the gesture giving her a thumbs up of his own even if his back was still hurting him, but at least that was more bearable now that he had received some oxygen and was breathing with the regulator.
When he was pushed away, Forcias let go of that second regulator and concentrated once again onto the Force to control his breath and recreate a barrier to avoid ingurgitating any more water from the ocean. While he was doing that, he could feel a hand on his body and he lifted his leg as a reflex because it was probably what Lucine needed right now considering the darkness that surrounded them now after the sando’s fury of trying to reach them. Grabbing his lightsaber again and keeping it lit, Forcias automatically swam over towards the Mon Cal to help him out by hooking an arm around him. . .
Forcias knew that they had to get out of the water and soon especially with the injuries that were sustained by both Cillian and Kanja, but fact was, Forcias did not know the layout of these caves and he was really hoping that Cillian would be able to get them to safety and soon. . . Thank the Force that the surfer dude was true to his words about knowing these caves because sooner rather than later, they found themselves in an unflooded part. Forcias swam to the surface and helped Kanja out before he took a deep breath and expelled more water that he could not expel earlier.
He needed to breathe and he was glad to be breathing now, never once he had felt this way and he was just sitting down recuperating, he had removed his mask and his fins and had his eyes closed to recuperate more or less until he heard first Cillian’s voice and then Lucy’s. Not quite in the mood to answer Cillian’s question right now because for all Forcias knew right now, this wasn’t what he had asked for, at all.
He couldn’t believe that a few moments ago he might have lost Lucy and that clearly was disturbing him, it distraught him that much, and even when he was on the verge to lose consciousness earlier, he had that pan of guilt that he never got to tell her how extensively he felt about her and that these were some of the instances where he was scared of losing her. Losing her and never telling her how he really felt about her. But right now wasn’t the time especially when she was clearly pissed off with him about not correctly having his six.
Forcias looked at her and smiled, maybe it was due to amusement and maybe it was due to defeat and also maybe because he was thinking that he obviously did not want her to be a part of this, of all of this and if she only knew all the things he had to hide, from her, from everyone else that knew him and didn’t have any knowledge about Eleuabad, then maybe she wouldn’t have his six.
“Shut up.” Finally said Forcias to Cillian with a deadly glare before he stood up from the cavern’s floor and tilted his head from side to side even if his back was still hurting him, he started to call upon the Force to heal Cillian but also Kanja, two in one, he knew that he might regret that especially with might come ahead or not but right now he did not care because point in fact he still owed the two men too. It took longer than he usually would have taken to heal a singular person but he was hoping that it would make them feel better and allow them to get on their feet. . .
When he was done with the healing, Forcias breathed rapidly and he leaned briefly against the cavern’s wall before glancing at Lucy with a playful smile because he could not help but to ask. “You will have to explain to me what you have found in him the last time you came to Naboo for that retreat. . .”
Finally he stood up on his own again and took a deep breath before looking back at Cillian before Forcias shook his head. “Look, obviously you do not know her that much. . .” Began to say Forcias as he momentarily glanced at Lucy before he looked back at Cillian with a deadpan expression. “She already did not listen to me the first time, what makes you think that she will actually listen to me now?” Forcias had already come to terms with that fact, Lucy was going to be there with him, and he accepted that, but the Mon Cal and the Surfer Dude did not need to, that much was a given, he wasn’t going to ask them to follow Forcias and Lucy.
“So, Eleuabad.” Ordered Forcias before he took a deep breath and tilted his head on the side thoughtfully. “From where I was swimming, she kept herself from getting harmed and she pushed you away.” Said Forcias thoughtfully before taking a deep breath because he in fact couldn’t deny that maybe Cillian was the reason the fiend did not pursue them further. “But thank you, although I really do need to get to Eleuabad, now.” Forcias looked at Kanja too and smiled briefly. “Thank you, also.”

Lucy smirks when Forcias asks what she saw in Cillian, winking as she says, "What can I say, I have a thing for dumb guys with lots of muscles," and then punches him in the shoulder lightly before lifting her hands to push her wet hair back off of her forehead.
Cillian, rubbing at his leg that has been mostly mended thanks to Forcias, chuckles when Forcias points out that Lucy has a tendency to do whatever she wants irregardless of what anyone tells her, agreeing, "Word, dude, word. Preachin' to the choir, yo. Thanks, like, for the healin'. Standing and unbuckling his BCD, Cillian nods towards the rear of the cavern they are in as, since he has come this far and feels obligated to see things through, he says, We can, like, leave most of our gear here. There's a few places we'll have to swim, but they aren't too far that we need the tanks."
Tossing the speargun and quiver of extra spears to Lucy, having correctly guessed that she has military training from the way she speaks and carries herself, Kanja says, "You're probably the best shot in the group, his bulbous eyes rolling towards Forcias as, like Cillian unwilling to step away from whatever is going on, he adds, that doesn't have the Force on their side anyway. Nodding to Forcias, he adds, Thank you lad, for, he rubs a shoulder with a webbed hand, mending me back. Slapping Cillian on the back, Kanja tells him, Lead the way lad."
Checking the speargun's remaining charge and loading a spear after removing her BCD and remaining fin, Lucy tells Forcias, "Stick with . . ." she squints and looks at Cillian, having forgotten his name again.
"Just, like, go with surfer dude," Cillian says with an amused laugh, clearly not bothered by the fact Lucy can't remember his name.
"Right, Lucy says, Stick with surfer dude until we're in Eleuabad, then you and I will take point. Looking at Cillian and Kanja, she tells them, Once we're in Eleuabad, you do what I say, when I say it, got it? When the Mon Cal and the surfer nod their agreement, Lucy slings the speargun over her shoulder and says, Let's go get this frakker."
Several moments later, Forcias and Cillian are the first to surface in the pool opening into an unsubmerged chamber. Nodding towards a dive mask not far from the pool once they are out, Cillian says quietly and unecessarily, "Dude's, like, already here," and then turns to help Lucy and Kanja out of the pool.
Lucy unslings the speargun from her shoulder after wiping the water from her face once out of the pool, looking around the cavern after waving for Kanja and Cillian to move back so she and Forcias can take point. Pointing with her free hand to a wall that has three logos of some kind, one that seems familiar to her, carved into it near a warning to go back the way they came, Lucy asks Forcias in a hushed voice, "Do you recognize that carving? Snapping her fingers, having remembered where she's seen it, Lucy says, Jade. He has that symbol on the back of a coat. Family crest maybe? What is this place? she asks in a confused tone, then shrugs, deciding figuring that out can wait until they've dealt with the Force user that got here before them. Knowing that Force users can usually sense one another, Lucy asks Forcias, What is your Forcey sense telling you dope? Anything?"

Post by Lincoln Baltzersen on Nov 23, 2014 0:54:55 GMT -8
After his fall, and drift into unconsciousness, Lincoln had been lying on the ground with clenched teeth as if trying to fight away those images that had been put into his mind... The flashes from the the deaths of countless victims of this curse, of those protecting this area had been running through his mind over and over again... Usually he would rejoice in the pain that had been inflicted but not this time, and certainly not today. Due to the fact that the emotions beside the pain he had been a witness of, the primary emotion had been of love as well. Each generations gave their lives so that their children could survive and that automatically brought him pain, because he knew that he would never get that same recognition, that he would never ever feel that feeling that surrounded those visions. The love and protection. It was so powerful enough that it brought him down to his knees and made him writhe in pain.
Until that stopped, until everything faded away...
Opening his eyes and breathing rapidly, Lincoln shakily tries to get back on his feet but to no avail. Despite those images fading, he still couldn't get over what he had just felt and that was one of the most powerful emotion that he has felt. It is only when he puts his hand on the wall that he finally to get himself up and to breathe evenly. While he has been out cold, he couldn't have known what had happened to the people that were pursuing him but now... It looks like they are closer than he anticipated, For how long had he been out cold? Lincoln glanced at the vaults' access knowing that if he attempted to approach those again, it will bring him to his knees again, so he did not even try to approach that area again but he still remembers that final image that ran through his mind.
Three women and four men standing right in front of that vault surrounded by ghosts of their ancestors and that sole survivor of the past generation behind the seven living. For Lincoln right now, those seven living beings were all but a shadow in his memory but the moment he closed his eyes and the more he tried to focus to try and get a glance of a maybe familiar figure, He recognized one of the women. His eyes popped wide open and he smirked at the thought briefly grasping and understanding why a person he is close to had been acted that way with her in the past. Maybe finding her should be his next destination then after speaking to the one that sent him here...
With that in mind, Lincoln stood with more assurances and knew that there is only one way in or out of these catacombs, and that will certainly lead him back to the group that had been following him, and something tells him that the Kiffar from earlier was the person Lincoln had to watch out for more closely, and with that, he grabbed his lightsaber hilt, not igniting it just yet and return from whence he came from and that was exactly where he knew he might encounter them...

Forcias still had an amused expression on his features when Lucy replied to him. He briefly looked upwards somewhat exasperatedly before shaking his head slightly when she punched him. At least currently he could take comfort on the fact that she still remembered his name that she was his and that was as good as it got for him. . . Hence why that ever still present smirk on the corner of his lips.
Waving his hand dismissively when both Cillian and Kanja thanked him for healing them, they owed him no gratitude quite sincerely. He would argue on the fact that it was the least he could do considering the things they might have done out there in the water against the sando aqua monster. Right now though, something was bothering him, it was the fact that the Mon Cal and the Surfer Dude were going to tag along, to what purpose really?
Of course they did not get it and he was banking on the fact that they were curious to what Eleuabad held, things that had been sitting there from generations after generations and that should remain that way. . . Forcias figured that he could do something about the both of the tag along when they reached their point of interest.
When Lucy addressed him, Forcias looked at her with a slightly amused expression. It looked and sounded to him that she was the only person taking point right now, and if he was dumb enough he would have told her that he was still currently ranking higher than she all chain of commands combined, but that wasn’t the time and he clearly did not want to get into a futile debate right now.
“Are you that afraid that I may just run off without a warning?” Asked Forcias teasingly before wrapping his arm around her and he kissed her temple soothingly. “If it helps, I am not going to tear my eyes from you. . .” He meant that, even if when the time came, she was going to end up being out of his sight, he’ll track her no matter what since he had been so used to her, to her presence, to her signature that it was definitely something that he wouldn’t think about forgetting.
For now, Forcias definitely needed to get Eleuabad and he was thankful that Cillian was going to show them the way, which didn’t take quite as long to his relief. . .
Forcias got out of the pool his first action had been to grab his lightsaber hilt and he looked around noticing three logos that had been familiar to him. He was staring at those very intensely before he placed his index finger onto his lips in Lucy’s direction when she remembered one of those logos. Indeed the one she recognized had always been worn by Raan on his back, as for the two others, the Drakes had their logo onto the rings they both possessed and the final one, no one in Umgul currently displayed that logo unless your name was Virgil Solaris because that belonged to the Solaris family.
Still with what might be lying before them, Forcias did not want to take any chances which was why he turned in the direction of Kanja and Cillian putting his hand up. “You two stay behind and whatever happens, you run at the first sign of danger.” Instructed Forcias before glancing at Lucy knowingly as he turned to face that entrance again, Forcias turned his hilt into the palm of his hand and took a deep breath.
“What I do know right now, is that this place is protected. . .” Said Forcias as he could feel unknown forces echoing ahead, but he couldn’t discern any threats beside the fact that someone who was the actually threat was approaching and slowly. Whatever that Darksider had wanted from this place, Forcias did not know with certainty but he knew enough to know that no one had to retrieve things from this place unless they were descendants of the three houses with those three logos. “The man is getting closer to us.” Finally said Forcias before activating his lightsaber adopting automatically a Soresu defensive stance right in front of him.
