Liz growled to herself as the kick missed and her words didn't even seem to phase him. Then she had an idea. "Jack... what do you want..." she tried to raise her voice to be heard. But her throat was torn, ravaged from the screaming and would barely carry above their own shouting. "What do you want with us...."
If she could just find out what he wanted. If Jack wanted them dead, it would be done and over with already. She knew enough of the demonstration of his powers that he was toying with them. What she didn't know was to what end. *Please... Jack... what do you want with us...* She screamed into his mind once more not realizing she didn't actually have to think about screaming.
When he stopped near her head, she turned her head. Her vision was still blurry from her swollen eyes, but she could make out the form to know which of the men it was.

-They missed.-
He avoided them completely.
-His black blade with the white glow had completely missed his head. Stepping lightly to the side; Kote faced the mad clown who seemed to cackle. It wasn't like one of those funny circus clowns one would enjoy watching. Someone who seemed more like psychopath who needed medications to calm himself down. Gripping the weapon firmly; Tal understood that he needed to be careful around Liz. The last thing he wanted to do was injure her any further. He wouldn't forgive himself if that ever happened. That would of been a reason for him to leave the NR. If he could not protect those who he cared about. For a moment his eyes lowered over to Liz; who only seemed to struggle more and more to break free. Offering a short smile, he gave a reassuring nod.-
"I'm going to get you out of this Liz," -Tal said calmly.- "I promise."
-Gripping the hilt firmly with his left hand, and extending his right hand out. He firmly clenched into a fist releasing the hidden blade from his prosthetic arm. With his arm at an angle and the blade at an angle; the mandalorian's eyes focused in on the sith.-
-There had to be a way to distract him long enough to get Liz out of here. Though she was still bound to the table. Lifting the glowing blade up he moved in swinging at an angle at the clowns right shoulder down to his left abdomen area. While at the same moment he moved into a stabbing motion with his prosthetic. This one was aimed at his lower abdomen. Kote's eyes remaining completely and utterly on the sith di'kut before him as he swung.-

Jack wasn't surprised by the prosthetic arm. Or the blade inside it. He then smiled as Tal came at him and swung his sword from the right to his left. Blocking it with his lightsaber he kept the blade from hitting his right side and pushed it down. Though, as he did he didn't notice that their blades would collide with the chains that held Liz. With that, the chain burned because of Jack's lightsaber and the chain fell to the floor. The clown hadn't noticed it either.
Although Jack didn't manage to avoid the other blade. It caught his shoulder and made a nice cut into it. Pulling back he then narrowed his eyes. Looking at the injury it stung to the mad clown. Annoying more then anything. Sending the Force into it the darkness blocked the stinging and annoying feeling. The feeling that it'd be useless to him. He then held his hand up and pulled the branding tool to hit Tal in the back of the head with.
"Take this!" Jack said as it came into the air.

Liz managed to twist away as the blades collided with the table. As the chain fell away, she smiled. It hurt, but she was almost free. She couldn't mind speak to Tal so she had to say it outloud. She only hoped he would hear.
"Tal... my hands... I ... I can't...." She hoped not only would he hear, but he would understand. If he could just free one. Maybe she could free the other one. Getting out would be a different matter, but still... one step at a time. She turned back towards the men in time to see the blood on Jack's shoulder. *Hope it hurts!* She growled into his mind as she laughed though her own pain filled her words since she was unable to block it.

-The blades locked together sending an array of sparks outward. Both came down colliding with the table that Liz laid upon. One of the chains cackled before falling a part and hitting the ground. Moving his right arm away; Kote kept his own blade locked in with Jack's. He hadn't really noticed that Liz was partially free, but at least she was to a point.-
Not much longer.
-Pushing his weapon up; he stretched his left leg out aiming a kick towards Jack's chest. He had already noticed enough that Jack was planing something else. Especially with his usage in the force. Whether or not the kick landed; Kote jumped back nearly avoiding the branding tool. It flew past him just barely scrapping by his right arm. Planting his feet firmly on the ground; Kote twisted the hilt and deactivated it for a mere moment. This gave the mandalorian enough time to focus a little more on Liz, and get her out of here.-
-The blond rushed next to the table, and glanced down at her momentarily. Yes, he was going to blame himself. But not before he got her out of this mess.- "Don't worry; I'll get you out." -His right arm lifted up -- with the blade still visible -- and it came colliding down on another chain that held her arm in place. Twisting over the table; he grabbed the hilt again and activated the black blade with a white glow. Preparing for a defensive maneuver against the mad sith clown.-

Jack then felt the kick to his gut as he stumbled back spitting phlegm outta his mouth. As he hit the other table behind Liz' head, the Sith Knight looked up at Tal and glared. It was a nice kick alright but not enough to damage him. All it did was surprise him and knock the wind outta him at that moment. Shaking the cobwebs and regaining his breath again, Jack kept his blade held at his side. Watching Tal slice through one of the restraints on Liz' arm. Seemed like the Mandalorian was helping to free her. But at what cost would it do?
Fool! Jack said as he then held his blade up slightly.
His eyes went yellow once more before he outstretched his hand and turned it like he was bringing something towards him. Utilizing the Force, the dark clown Force Pulled Tal towards his oncoming blade. A technique of Niman, the 'Draw Closer' maneuver, Jack hoped that he would stab Tal right in the chest as he was pulled towards his blade. Once Tal was close enough, the clown then finished his attack, even if it didn't hit Tal in the chest, with a flick of his wrist downward, and came up to slice across.
Though Jack didn't realize he'd sliced...right into a water pipe! He hadn't heard the blade cut through it and didn't bother to notice the water start gushing through the broken pipe. Right onto the floor.

One arm and her waist. There was enough freedom there that once Liz caught her breath she could work on her other bond. She pulled away, as much as she could, when Jack slammed into the top edge of the table she was on. But as she saw his hand reach out to pull Tal closer, she rolled over and screamed with a hoarse voice as she grabbed at his nearest arm.
She wasn't strong enough to disarm him, but if it was his power hand, she could disrupt him. It was his sword arm, hopefully she would disrupt his aim.
"JACK... NOOO!" She screamed though would barely come out audible. She only hoped what little she was able to do would be enough.

-He had barely managed to maneuver around the table to slice through another chain that was binding Liz. Blade on chain sent a loud clanging sound through the room. It almost sounded like a speeder blowing it's engine. Well in some cases; maybe. But this chain was Liz's leg. As he came around the table once more; he could feel his body lose all sense of direction. For a brief moment he struggled against this pull, but it was in fact to much for him. Yellow eyes focused in towards Jack; his hand stretched out towards him. An almost "get over here" feeling. The tip of the red blade aimed towards his chest. A finishing move! Kote couldn't even resist the pull of the force... especially the darkside which seemed to keep a hold of him. His feet sliding against the ground, Tal really had no other choice but to come into the attack aimed for his chest.-
-At the last possible minute... or second; Kote arched his knees and ducked nearly avoiding the blade. The hot weapon singed through his shirt; barely grazing his skin. Of course it hurt. Blood seeped through his shirt staining it and began to drip down. Moving to his left; he barely evaded a slash that slice through the end tips of his blond hair. He rolled over to the side through the water that had been pouring from the pipe that Jack had sliced through. Some of the water managed to catch the blond.. wetting himself. From the top of his head and halfway on his shirt.-
"Nice try," -Tal said standing up; his right hand went over his left shoulder firmly grasping it. Stopping the bleeding only momentarily. The hilt to the blade he held firmly onto.- "You wont be able to kill me that easily."
-Yellow eyes moved over to Liz. She was free from her bindings, but now came the more difficult part. Getting both of them out of there.-
((ooc- Tal's appearance when his hair is wet.))

Jack had missed and grit his teeth. Though now water poured out onto the both of them. As it poured out and hit the two Jack's lightsaber shorted out. It shut off instantly and he was left without a weapon for the moment. The clown then clipped it to his belt for the moment. His hands clenched into a fist.
"Oh I will kill you Tal! Maybe not today...maybe not tomorrow! There will come a day when your life will end...enough toying around!" Jack said and held his hand out like he was grabbing Tal by the throat.
Using the Force Choke he concentrated upon the Mandalorian. His red eyes turned yellow as they fixated upon him. His concentration key to using the power itself. As water kept pouring out it neither affected him although it did relinquish a few of the torches to Jack's right. Though it didn't matter. The fire that was still lit illuminated the room just fine. The clown Knight then stepped forward as he kept choking Tal. Either way he would either kill him outright or else make him go unconscious. To the clown, he would rather have them both alive to use as a bargaining chip.
"You...will...die!" Jack shouted, "Die already!"

NOOoooo.... Liz was on her side, in pain, from grabbing Jack and his jerk away from her. But Tal wasn't dead. But as she saw Tal out of the corner of her still half open right eye, she bit her lip. No, he couldn't... not so close to escaping.
She slowly managed to get to the edge of the table where her head had been, her wrist restraints dangling now off the edge. She knew once she moved the pain would be insane. She made a mental note to not break her ribs again in the future. The small laugh in her mind gave her the energy she needed for one final lunge.
"JACK!" She managed in a loud hoarse whisper scream as she rose to her feet and threw herself in Jack's direction. She knew she couldn't take him down. She just needed to grab his arm and break his concentration. Her arms rose up and out as she lunged to grab Jacks closest arm. She knew Tal would only need a moment.
The cry of pain was louder than her scream and for half a second she thought someone else had cried out in pain.

-Deactivating the weapon; Kote clipped it back onto his belt. Water from the pipes had spilled all over them. Soaked to the bone, Tal wasn't going to allow this to distract him. There were times when he needed this weapon and times that he didn't. Well if one counted those emergency times or self defense... this was one of them. He had allowed enough time to free Liz from her bindings; all was going well. They just needed to escape, but would Jack let them. Lifting his right arm up; he had prepared for another attack. But then paused.-
"Oh I will kill you Tal! Maybe not today...maybe not tomorrow! There will come a day when your life will end...enough toying around!" -The sith clown lifted his hand up towards the blond's throat.-
Just what is he doing? -Tal thought for a moment.-
-Then it hit him; his breath slowly being restricted. It was tight and constricting on his throat. Every time he tried to inhale a breath of air; his very own airway seemed to grow smaller and smaller. Tal's lungs seemed to only struggle more as he tried to breath. But he couldn't. Gasping for what he could; the mandalorian grabbed at his throat hoping to stop it. Either he would be killed here or eventually he would pass out from the lack of oxygen. Yellow eyes looked up at the ceiling thinking several things over. Would this be his life...? Would he die here? Would he rescue Liz?-
"You...will...die!" -Jack shouted; his eyes now a fierce yellow color.- "Now DIE!!!"
"JACK!"
-A hoarse voice seemed to echo through the blond mandalorian's ear. In a brief moment; Tal had regained his breath but fell to the floor with a thud. Water splashed outward and over his body at the same time. Pushing himself back up; Kote coughed a few times to catch his breath with his left hand still close to his throat. Standing firm, Tal looked over at Jack and moved forward to the sith. His right hand swung towards the mad sith clown in hopes of injuring him so they could escape. Tal, himself, had slowed a little due to the force Jack had used. But that wasn't about to stop him now.-

Jack was grinning when Tal was having his oxygen cut off. Then, in a full lunge, Liz had grabbed his arm which made him loose concentration. He then turned to look at her as she was at feet as she fell when she lunged at him. He then kicked at her face one last time before he then turned to Tal once again. Though again, Jack completely overlooked the fact he was standing in a foot of water.
With his hands outstretched as the Mando moved forward towards him he then summoned every ounce of Force energy he could muster. Using the ability that Sianna had taught him, Force Enhancement, the Sith Knight then concentrated upon the Mandalorian. Lightning sparked from his finger tips and with that the clown unleashed the full fury of the Dark Side at the General. The bolts of lightning shot forth at him and arced their way across the open area as the smell of ozone hit the air. As the lightning shot forth he then cackled all the way.
"DIE...DIE..DIE!!!!!" The mad clown shouted at them.

Liz had won a small victory in helping Tal escape having his windpipe crushed. But it came on the heels, or rather the knee, of Jack aiming a blow at her face. She managed to turn at the last moment and put her arm up but it only cushioned the blow so much.
His knee collided hard with her arm which pressed to her already bruised temple and sent her sprawling in the doorway several feet away. Crying out, she heard the energy and smelled the burn. She looked towards Tal and tried to reach for him once more. If he could duck behind the table and grab her, it may block Jack just enough to allow them to escape. Once in the streets outside the temple they would be safe. With all the Republican guards looking for their High Commander, Jack would be foolish to follow and risk an all out war in retaliation.
"TTAAALLL!!!!" Liz screamed, but between Jack's cackle and Tal ducking his head to keep from frying, she wasn't even sure her weak voice would carry. She could only hope he saw the opening they had. It was taking every ounce not to pass out from the pain. Her vision was already cloudy from the blows and the abuse, and now, covered in cold water, her body was in the process of shutting down. If they didn't escape soon, she, at least, was going to die here.

-His feet splashed within the water to a grinding halt. Kicking up droplets; Kote moved around and ducked as quickly as he could behind the table to evade the lightning. It looked like the traditional sith lightning that he had read so much about. But was it? It's color seemed only different from what he had seen in holo-books. It was different; or what the mad sith clown was learning was way to advanced for him. But all in all, at least he was able to evade the attack behind the table. His body fell hard into the foot of water now soaking him to the bone. He crawled slowly around... hopefully behind the sith clown. Standing up slightly and now behind the clown; he turned lifting his right arm up towards him and swung at his back. Hopefully, this would of been enough to distract him so he and Liz could escape.-

Jack then knew he'd missed but as he then let his arms fall to his sides the lightning stopped. As the mandalorian ducked around him, he then wondered where he went for a moment. Although as Jack stopped his attack he then fell to one knee exhausting himself. The Enhancement and the Lightning that followed it had totally exhausted the clown. Trying to catch his breath he stood up for one moment as the General then punched him right in the back.
Taking the wind outta the clown he then fell into the water and hit the ground. The water splashing up against his face, Jack then spit the cold water that had flowed into his mouth. Turning his head to look at the duo he then glared. His red eyes glaring at both of them. They'd beaten him this time...but...he'd already gotten his shots in on both of them. More so on Liz and something she'd never forget. Neither would Tal. Jack wouldn't forget it either and now that the two were on Sith soil...if anything later he would go to the Council and tell them that the NR was daring enough to come onto their territory. Ship repairs or not.
The High General of the NR had also come, which in Jack's failure to keep them both would result in their escape. Much like he had escaped from Telos. Sure, that was different. These two neither had the Force but he still failed in his attempts to keep them both captive. Jack clenched his fist and rolled over, still catching his breath.
"You two may have won this time..." He said catching his breath slowly, "...but just know...this...means...WAR!"
