Star Wars: A Thing Of Beauty

Holy Kriff

Inside of the Jedi temple on Felucia, the Harrowers' infiltration team was moving through a hallway with Jinang at the helm, when the little warrior received a desperate and very brief transmission from Ahsoka about how the Raging Hawks betrayed them and killed the Harrowers' vice president, Gyara Stalmic... Jinang was halted in his tracks by this news, it adds layers to the horribly conflict he already started feeling when he arrived at Felucia. Now Gyara, a woman he was just feeling better about is dead, and the Raging Hawks of all people just killed her... But the poor fool had absolutely no time to take in this new, disturbing revelation as the Republic suddenly ambushed them from both sides of the hallway in the temple. And appearing right in front of Jinang is none other than Obi-Wan Kenobi. The man who killed Tanner and ruined a life he was going to pursue... The desire for revenge has driven Jinang a long way, and it's taken him places he wishes he hadn't gone, but his rapidly uncontrollable emotions boils over into pure rage... As Jinamg is torn between two lives that are both ruined, he's lost Tanner, Gyara died, his sister betrayed him, the Harrowers were sold out - with a ghastly, horrific, monstrous scream, Jinang unleashes a blast of Sith lightning at Kenobi, and blows him and several clone troopers away, down the hall. Marssi was stunned by the terrifying shriek followed by the lightning that raised the temperature in the room a noticeable amount. But she keeps fighting, taking out multiple clone troopers until commander Cody butt in, putting up more of a fight against her. He is far superior to any clone she's fought before, displaying keen skills and lightning fast reflexes. Despite a very clear advantage and superior numbers, the Harrowers were able to hold off the ambush until Onyudo arrived with reinforcements... Marssi was grappling with Cody, about to be overcome by him, when Onyudo grabbed the clone by his face, and slammed his head into the wall, shattering the plastoid helmet like glass and splattering Cody's head into red paste. Then the mechanical monster goes on to brutally slaughter more clones. After the reinforcements arrived, the clones in the temple didn't stand a chance and needed to call for backup, but Dekker was able to jam their communications... Jinang is getting carried away, fighting Obi-Wan, aggressively trying to kill him in a meditation room away from the other mercenaries. The area is large and round, with lots of small pillars that Jinang can use to his advantage. Having lots of places to jump onto and off of, to utilize his preferred fighting style, where he dashes around, attacking from different angles with lightsabers, magic kunai, a flamethrower and more. Any ordinary Jedi would be quickly overwhelmed by Jinang's aggressive and diverse moves, but master Kenobi is no ordinary Jedi. Considered to be the master of defense, trying to hit him while he's taken a defensive stance is like trying to punch through a durasteel wall. However, the tides of the fight were about to change as Marssi joined the battle in the meditation room, worried about what's going on with Jinang. He's going at Obi-Wan like a wild beast, clearly overwhelmed with a great and terrible anger... But first they need to defeat the Jedi general. Marssi knew she might be fighting Jedi or Sith though, and came very well prepared to fight them. She has an automatic ballistic weapon called a slugthrower, and smoke grenades modified to produce very strong hallucinogenic drugs in a gaseous form. Marssi throws a grenade and Obi-Wan jumps out of the way, but Jinang can smell the smoke and uses the force to make the gas follow the Jedi and forms a bubble around Obi-Wan's head, trapping and compressing the gas right in his face. He chokes and gags, leaving him vulnerable, but the Jedi pushes Marssi with a powerful wave before she could gun him down, but couldn't stop Jinang's spirit ichor powered kick to the face, sending him flying through a pillar. Obi-Wan still managed to stay on his feet, with blood pouring over his face, and he blocks and counters Jinang's immediate lightsaber attacks and takes a swing, which the little warrior back flips out of the way from. Obi-Wan groans in pain suddenly, as Marssi's huge, serrated dagger flew into his leg to keep him from jumping out of the way of her slugthrower's fire. The Jedi manages to deflect all of the bullets with his lightsaber, but each bullet exploded upon impact with his saber, sending shrapnel everywhere. While Marssi reloads, Jinang leapt back into action, throwing spirit ichor kunai at Obi-Wan, making them curve through the air to his left and right sides. The master can stop most of them, but not all, and he got cut up. Jinang tries killing him with his pink lightsabers, and notices his defenses are weakened. He finds a tiny opening and manages to cut Obi-Wan's shoulder, kicks him in the gut, pushing him back a few feet, and then jumps backwards while using the force to throw Marssi's knife back to her. The serrated edges causing great pain as it's ripped out of the Jedi's leg. Then Marssi fires at Obi-Wan again, and he blocks some of the bullets, having the same exploding results, but jumps behind a pillar for cover. The hallucinogenic gas that Jinang forced into his system is kicking in, making it difficult to focus, and dampening his strength in the force... A chain suddenly flies around the pillar, and Obi-Wan ducks under it - Jinang is holding both ends on the other side so the chain is taut, and he releases one end and yanks the other, causing the other side to fling around the pillar and slash Obi-Wan across the back with a durasteel blade. Then Jinang force pushes the Jedi against the wall and rushes over to attack. With each attack, his defenses waver more and more, until Jinang finally disarmed Obi-Wan and roundhouse kicked him into a pillar. Obi-Wan is covered in blood and dirt, and his clothes are all torn, and Marssi can tell he's done and just watches the door while Jinang does what he's going to do... She saw that lightsaber cut on Tanner's chest, and knows only one man had a lightsaber on Rutanda... Tanner was a father and a good man, so Marssi thinks Obi-Wan is getting what he deserves...
"I bet you don't even know why I'm going to kill you..." Jinang says, approaching Obi-Wan, grabbing his hair. "You Jedi are so detached from everything around you... The whole damn Galaxy is on fire and you don't even see it!"

Jinang screams angrily and throws the Jedi right through a pillar, where he tumbles into the center of the room. Obi-Wan tries getting up, groaning in pain, but Jinang electrocuted him again with lightning, screaming loudly as the Jedi writhes around on the floor, wailing in pain.
"Tanner. Shae!" Jinang yelled, standing over the Jedi, panting heavily after he stopped with the lightning. "You killed doctor Tanner Shae! He was an innocent man just trying to help people - and you fucking killed him!!"

"I... Did not..." Obi-Wan says weakly, severely injured.

"WHAT!?" Jinang yelled, grabbing the Jedi's shirt. "He was cut down with a lightsaber, fucker!! YOU KILLED HIM!!!"

"I have... Proof..." The Jedi said before coughing up blood. "The Harrowers are here... For data... Go find it... I didn't kill that man..."

Jinang grabs master Kenobi's hair again, holding his head up as he rears his fist back, his whole body shrouded with a glowing green aura. The ground beneath them starts to shake, and then with a booming thud, Marssi sees huge cracks spread across the floor and turns to see that Jinang did not kill the Jedi, but punched the ground by his head. He couldn't do it... Killing Ki-Adi-Mundi didn't help anything. Jinang has taken revenge before and it never helps anything. And regardless of whatever Obi-Wan just said, regardless of whether its true or not, Jinang just can't slaughter another Jedi...
Jinang straightens up and let's out a deep and powerful, harrowing cry, letting out all of his anger in one primal yell. It was so loud Marssi had to cover her ears, and it could be heard throughout that section of the temple. It goes quiet in the room, and Marssi just stares at Jinang for a bit, and gasps when he suddenly collapses, unconscious. Completely and utterly overwhelmed by waves of emotions and thoughts running more wild than ever before. Like a hundred tidal waves all crashing together in his head. Marssi catches Jinang before he hits the ground, and gently lowers him to the floor, supporting his head beside the Jedi who is now unconscious, but looks dead.
"Jinang's down." Marssi said into the commlinks. "Jinang's down but he's stable. I need backup now."

...

Jinang wakes up in a familiar place - the Jedi temple on Coruscant, on the stares leading to the main entrance. He's wearing tan, traditional Jedi garb, and he has his padawan braid again. "What the hell..." He says, observing a sunny day on Coruscant. But it's completely quiet and there are no speeders or ships or anything like normal... Despite the emptiness of the planet which is normally bustling with life, there is an odd serenity to it. And for once in five long years, Jinang actually feels calm...
"I've been waiting for you, Jinang." The voice of a eerily familiar man said from behind.

And Jinang turns around and a few steps up from him is a Mirialan Jedi in blue robes with very long, grey hair, tied out of his face, and a short beard. He is well over 6 feet tall, and quite muscular for a Jedi. Jinang's never seen that face before, but he feels like he's known this person for a very, very long time. Longer than Jinang or Koga have been alive...
"Who are you?" Jinang asked, oddly calm.

"I'm Rox Odan." The Jedi answered, and Jinang knew that name, but it wasn't the one he was expecting. "But you know me as Koga."
