Mission to Kamino (MOTP)

The Mission to Kamino was an operation undertaken by the New Jedi Order, to investigate and, if necessary, destroy the rogue cloning facility. 4 Jedi were assigned to this task; Taltru'ib, Ruuntak, and their padawans: Lucien Nelvold and Treeik, respectively.

Preparations
The Jedi were provided with a YT-1300p to make the journey and bring back potential prisoners. The four trained hard while they were en route to Kamino, attempting to prepare themselves mentally and physically for their trial. As it turned out, they would need every ounce of preparation, and then some.

Arrival
After a few hours in hyperspace, the Starsearcher came out over Kamino. Immediately the Jedi could feel a disturbance, and headed to the surface to investigate. Rain was pouring down hard on the platform they landed on and, as they stepped off the ship, a man wearing gray armor stepped forward to meet them. He was armed with a blaster rifle. After a short conversation, the Jedi agreed to follow the man, albeit with an uneasy feeling.

Meeting Darth Shyrack
The man led them to a chamber, with the door closing behind them. He slipped out a side door, leaving the Jedi to their thoughts. Only a couple of minutes passed, however, before a large door opened and three people walked through, each one clothed in black robes, bearing lightsabers. With nary a word, their leader raised his hand, and a burst of lightning came from his fingertips, weakening Ruuntrak.

The Fighting
Lucien quickly became wrapped up in the fighting as he began to duel Zalif Andlin. They went back and forth, trading blows. Unfortunately for Lucien, however, Andlin was the better swordsman, and Lucien was forced back onto the catwalk. Rain fell on the combatants as they dueled, distracting them slightly as they tried to focus their use of the Force. As Lucien fought to parry Andlin's strikes, he began to sense a weakening in his technique, his stance. He used this and launched a counter-attack, forcing Andlin's saber high. He was just fast enough to swing his blade back around and stabbed Andlin through the chest, killing him instantly. He could still here the clash inside, and summoned Andlin's fallen lightsaber and rushed inside to join.

Fighting Darth Shyrack
When Lucien came inside, his first sight was Ruuntrak, lying dead on the floor, with Taltru'ib fighting off Shyrack and Treeik dueling Jeann Naqus. Lucien took on a Jar'Kai stance and went to help his master. The fighting didnt last long, however, when Taltru'ib was struck down, and soon afterward Treeik had a leg and arm sliced off. Before he knew it, Lucien was fighting a Sith Lord and his apprentice. Lucien was furious with his master's death, and used his anger to fight the Sith. Parrying an attack from Naqus, he swept his stolen lightsaber around, removing Naqus's leg, then twisting to block Shyrack. They dueled back and forth, fury and anguish clashing with pure skill.

It wouldnt last, however, before Lucien got the better of Shyrack, and thrust a red lightsaber blade straight through his opponent's stomach.

Aftermath
Lucien went to check on his allies; Ruuntrak was long dead, and Taltru'ib had died while Lucien and Shyrack were fighting. Treeik was the only survivor, other than Lucien. Using his command of the force, Lucien took Treeik back to the Starsearcher, stabilized his wounds, and returned to the Jedi Council.
