"Dammit, Raez! You could have at least warned us before crashing!" Tyrrazapon said, climbing out of the back seat and rubbing his neck.
"Stop whining. The Force softened the blow," Raezyr said. He watched as Trychon confronted the Mon Calamari reporter and the camera man ran down the street in sheer terror.
"I'll make you famous," Trychon said before slaying the alien.
Raezyr chuckled. This was getting to be too much fun. He was going to be sad when it was all over. He stepped forward and checked on the young man crushed between the speeder and the news van. The man groaned a bit as Raezyr grabbed a handful of hair and lifted his head. The man's eyes fluttered a bit.
Raezyr gathered the Force and stretched out, taking hold of the man's throat. The man's breathing became ragged as he gasped. Raezyr tried to tighten his grip, but to no avail.
Frustrated, he grabbed the man's head with both hands and twisted. With an audible crack, the young man died.
"Raez, stop screwing around with that guy, we've got company," Tyrrazapon said.
Turning quickly he saw them exit the mono-rail station. It was the young boy, and the Chadra-Fan. They stopped when they saw the carnage and wreckage scattered about the four Sith.
The teenaged boy spoke up, "You are all under arrest. Drop your weapons and come with us peacefully." He snapped on his blue blade and crouched in fighting stance, the bat like alien following suit.
The Sith spread out, each igniting their own blades, and slowly approached the Jedi.
"Your friends are dead. Their life forces were exhilarating," Raezyr taunted. "What makes you think you will succeed where they failed?"

Half a world away, in the Coruscant Action Five News room.......
"Stay with the feed! Don't cut!" yelled a man with a headset to the crew operating the contols.
He had just watched in horror as one of his low-level field reporters had been cut down on live holo, and he had almost cut it, but something told him to stick to the carnage, and now was the payoff.
"I can't believe we're going to get this whole battle live! Look at our ratings! They're going through the roof! Every one in the galaxy must be watching this! I don't care what it takes. Comm that camera man, tell him to get back to his camera and DON'T LOSE THEM!!!"
