A Jedi's Tale - The Story of Jay Lyon

Rescue On Dromund Kass

The Republic Task Force arrived on the world of Dromund Kass. Clone Commando Atin of Omega managed to get a digital layout of Phantom's Facility. The building is just like The Citadel on Lola Sayu. After analyzing, Jay went over the plan of action to everyone. He will take Mollbry and Echore and go in with Captain Ryzer, Omega Squad and two detachments while Alex and Keeve hide below the crest of a hill, out of the range of Battle Droids. Clone Commando Sev, fired on droids on the tower without alerting command. When the power at the facility goes out, Alex and her team will go in, rescue any Republic Prisoner inside, gather every information inside and contact the Republic and get out of there.

When the troops got ready to deploy, Jay noticed Echore staring at Dromund Kass. Her hands are on her biceps, as if she got cold chills. Jay walked up to her, asking if she's alright. She said "Not Really. I sworn to never come back to his hellish piece of rock." Then, Clone Commando Scorch of Delta Squad, said, trying to cheer up Echore "You know, you should never swear. It's a sign of weal verbal skills." A few clones laughed at Scorch's joke, but Jay told them to knock it off and stated to Scorch that it was a good joke, but it's not helping Echore's situation. Once they landed, Jay's plan was put into motion. Alex and her team got set up while Jay and his team, stealthily, made their way to facility. They scaled up the building and entered the facility's cooling systems, navigating their the cooling systems. After coming out of the cooling system, they quietly take out any droids to make our way to the Command Center. Once arrived, after wiping out the droids, Jay contacted The Republic, using encrypted transmission, to extract and pull back. Anakin Skywalker, who received the transmission, told me to take out the building's power before Republic Troopers arrive. Jay replied and went to the source of the facility's power. Before leaving with Mollbry, Jay gave her one of my lightsabers to borrow and instructed Echore, and Omega Squad, to place explosives after rescuing the prisoner. She nodded and left. Together, Mollbry and Jay went to the source of the base's power.

Once arriving in the detention level, Echore and her troops blasted all of the droids and released prisoners inside. Among the prisoners that were liberated were a young Jedi Knight named Ace Raen. During a fire fight, Ace was wounded in the leg and was helped by two clone officers to safety and Corran lost his hand in a duel with Phantom and was given a prosthetic hand. Meanwhile, Jay and Mollbry made their way to the Energy Chamber. Once they arrived at the Energy Chamber, Mollbry ran a scan on it and told Jay that the only way to take out the sphere. If that happens, it would disable the power to prison and weapons system. At that moment, Jay took off his gauntlet and the top of his tunic. He put his belt on and leaped to the top of the generator, then lowers himself into the crystal chamber. At first, he tried to cut the sphere open with his lightsaber, but to no avail. Then, he decided to use his cybernetic arm to penetrate. Screaming in agony, he reaches his prosthetic arm into the energy sphere. The sound of screeching metal was deafening to him, but he persevered. Using the Force, he pulled the crystal from its socket, and then shatters it into a thousand shards. The energy surge causes the generator to explode, and Jay leaps to safety, his arm destroyed. Mollbry pulled him from the ledge and checked for any injuries. He has a deep cut down his leg, supposedly shrapnel flew as he judged to safety. Then, she saw the damaged arm; scorched metal with some wires sticking out. Mollbry told Jay's outer tunic and, taking his left sleeve and wrapped the damaged arm and wrapped the wound on Jay's leg. After that, She picked him up and got out of there to regroup with the others.

On the way to the others, Mollbry contacted the Republic about the building's power being taken out and prisoners have been rescued and head towards Alex's position. She also stated that Jay destroyed the source of the building's power, but at the cost of his cybernetic arm and wound in his leg and request medical assistant. Once on the outside of Phantom's Facility, Echore finished clearing out the building of prisoners. Seeing Mollbry carrying Jay, she rushed over to lend a hand. As they made their way to leave, they sensed a dark presence. Then, a voice called out saying "A TRAITOR!" They turn to the sound to where the voice came from. It was Phantom; lightsaber drawn with a platoon of BX Commando Droids. Then, He said "A Rookie Combatant and a Descendant of an attempted murderer! Was it worth it, Echore?" Echore stood in front of Jay and Mollbry, protecting them in case of an attack. "You are betraying everything The Separatists and the Sith stood for. And all for what, helping the man, whose ancestor tried to kill me?" "I ask him to spare my life back at The Hidden Stone." Echore said. "Killing a Jedi, unarmed or not, is not who I am." "Then you will die." Phantom said, as the BX Droids got ready to fire. Then, Alex, Keeve, Britt, with Delta and Omega Squad, rushed towards Jay, Echore & Mollbry to prevent Phantom and his cronies from killing their friends. But, just when the fight began, Republic Troopers arrived and started blasting. During the bombardment, Echore rushed forward and attacked Phantom, engaging a fierce duel. Mollbry, seeing the opportunity, made her way to the gate with Jay. As they made our way to the gate, Jay turn to see Echore fighting like hell against Phantom. At first, we were going to make it. Then, he felt Mollbry's grip slipped away from me. Jay turned to see Mollbry being dragged to Phantom by the Force. Echore was on her knees, recovering from the kick Phantom gave her. By the look on his face, he was going to impale Mollbry and finish Echore in the process. Ignoring his damaged cybernetic arm and wound, Jay stood up, ignited his saber and clashed with Phantom; which caused him to lose his grip of Mollbry. Even with one arm, Jay fought on to protect Echore, Mollbry and those he care about.

Jay put up a valiant fight; however, his skills proved no match for the more powerful and experienced Phantom, and he was soon incapacitated. As Echore recovered, she witnessed Phantom pins Jay to the ground and grinds the heel of his boot into Jay's chest. Phantom proclaims to Jay that he hates The Jedi as they keep attacking, even though they have no chance of winning. Suddenly, as Jay cries out in pain from Phantom applying more pressure with his foot, A green blade was thrown at Phantom, which caused him to let go of Jay; leaving him gasping for breath. Phantom recovered from the attack raised his lightsaber to prepared himself to deliver the final blow against the fallen Lyon. But, he was stopped by Mollbry; who extended her arms sideways, protecting him. "You are quite persistent." Phantom said, lowering his weapon. "I used to believe there is still good in you." Mollbry said. "But, I see I was wrong. All I see in you is a sad man with twisted, corrupted soul and black heart. No matter what you claim, There will other will fight back. If one Jedi can delay you, or any other Sith, for even a moment, I will be satisficed. As long as I continue to draw breath, I will protect Jay Lyon and those around me. I am not afraid to die!" "Then, you and him will join The Jedi who died before you." Phantom said coldly, as he rose his saber in the air; ready to end Mollbry's and Jay's life. Echore, calling upon the Force, leaped into the path of Phantom's lightsaber, blocking it with Jay's blue lightsaber, saving both Jay's and Mollbry's life in the process. At that very moment, Echore unleashed a flurry of attacks, which caught Phantom completely off guard. He tried to fight back, but Echore was a master swordswoman. Seeing an opening, Echore knocked off Phantom's lightsaber & sliced off his left hand and both of his legs. Picking him up with The Force, Echore said, what Tsunade said to Orochimaru during her fight with during the Battle Between The Sannin, to Phantom "Give my regards to my former master." She threw him into the burning building and destroyed his lightsaber with Jay's saber.

After throwing Phantom, she rushed over to Mollbry, holding the injured Jay. Just then, Obi Wan Kenobi with the 212th Attack Battalion and Anakin Skywalker with the 501st Legion arrived. A clone medic of the 212th rushed in and scanned Jay and said he has a couple of broken ribs. To help him cut the pain, he knocked out Jay and tended to the wound on his leg. Once he was done, he called for assistance. A squad of troopers took Jay to a med bay to be treated. Once everyone was out of the range of Phantom's Facility, Echore pressed the denotator, blowing up the facility and destroying everything around it. And, as for good measure, Republic cruisers bombarded the facility; leaving nothing but rumble. To Echore, it brought her an inch close to closure. The Republic Fleet moved away from Dromund Kass and made their way to Earth to tend the Jedi, the officers and Clones that were held prisoner by Darth Phantom. In the Med Bay, Alex gave him preliminary treatment to Jay to stabilize him. Echore and Mollbry were in the same room, watching Jay and staying by his side. Deep down, they were worried for their friend. But, that wasn't the only thing they have to worry about. From the rubble of a destroyed facility, a hand rose from the rubble and crawled out. It was Darth Phantom; bruised, cut up, horribly burned and disfigured. Count Dooku dispatched droids to find him and save him. Now found alive, he will be rebuild and will wreak havoc once more.
