208. Sith Saga: Proving Grounds - Eiron

A lightsaber ignited on the far end of the platform. Eiron was grinning, his arms spread. "Hello, hello," he said, taking a few steps towards the Jedi.

Run, he said in the Force. I will stall them. Get to safety; I will find you. Go.

He cut off the heads of two civilians who were not giving him enough room and threw out his hand towards the Jedi. A bench ripped free of the floor and hurtled towards them. Barbagar and the Arcona woman both worked in tandem and stopped its flight.

"Hello, Jedi," he said, twirling his lightsaber playfully in his left hand. "Hello. Come looking for the Sith? Well, here I am."

"By the authority of the Jedi Council-" The Arcona began, but she was cut off."You have no authority here. This is hardly Republic-controlled turf."

"Coruscant is the seat of the Republic!" A young human boy spoke up. "Our jurisdiction is limitless here."

"Argue with me if you will." Eiron fell into a fighting stance. "Come and play if you're done with that."
