Dylan

I bump into someone and see Ruby in the distance.

"Lyn, you okay?" Roan asks, having been who I ran into.

I look at him and nod, unsure whether to go to Ruby or tell him first.

Ruby

I sigh and count the money, starting to walk out of the ballroom.

Dylan

"Just wait here," I tell Roan before bolting towards Ruby and grabbing her elbow gently to get her to stop.

Ruby

Someone grabs my elbow as I walk and I spin around, swallowing when I see Dylan. I don't say anything, waiting for him.

Dylan

I fumble to form the right words before clearing my throat and swallowing, "You... Explain things to me. Please. I just want to understand before deciding whether to let you go or to try and stop you..."

Ruby

I swallow and yank out of his grasp, thinking, "I'm forced to do certain things. I don't have freedom. I...I believe the only way to do that is start another life. Bye," I start walking again, stuffing the money in my pocket.

Dylan

I swallow and watch her, glancing back at Roan before coming to my decision. It's not my life to dictate. I think I really did love you though, Ruby. Good luck. I walk back to my brother and cross my arms over my chest, not quite sure how I feel.

Ruby

I try to control my emotions as I walk, my eyes watering as I get to the palace gates. No turning back now, Ru.

Taking a deep breath, I look at my hand and see what I wrote on it before the ball. R&D Forever. <3

Swallowing again, I close my palm and sigh, pushing through the gates as I walk.

Dylan

"Where was she headed?" Roan asks.

I shake my head and swallow, "I-I don't want to talk about it."

Ruby

A guard takes me from behind, pulling me back inside the gates, "Where do you think your going, princess?"

I swallow, my father standing beside him with arms crossed, "You're grounded young lady," My father looks at the guard, "Dongeon, please."

Ew, no!

I shake my head, "No, daddy, please--"

He walks back inside and the guard forces me into the ballroom and down the stairs. I'm screwed.

Skyy Kredeas - Rule under One Sith

I ran on the rooftops, the two Jedi off to my left and my right ran after me. I sometimes hated being attacked every hour it got annoying to say the least but I had to make do as they kept on my tail with an unwavering persistence. I see a window ahead as the two Jedi cut me off before I can make a leap into it, stupid move as I knew what to do now. I force pushed the two off the ledge and into the window, they didn't see it coming and flew though the stain glass window and into the building below. I soon follow after them, only to find that the place was packed with people. I land on top of the stair leading down to the main floor of the building, the two Jedi get to there feet as the realization of people being around them set in.

"You won't win Darth Kredeas!" The female Jedi said.

"We'll bring you to justice." The male one said.

"Yea, you and what army? I am Darth Kredeas, I am among the strongest of the Sith and you fools will never be able to defeat me!" I said.

The two didn't waste time, they drew there sabers, one blue the other green. I drew not one but two lightsabers. They were crimson black sabers with light weight and range enhancing when I used my force.

Dylan

The stranger from before shows up and crashes the party with two of her friends. Roan grips my wrist and pulls me as far back as we can go though the crowd, watching expressionlessly. I watch, not exactly able to comprehend what's going on until they draw their sabers. Oh! Jedi's! And Sith! Oh... Holy crap! I look at Roan for what to do, only to find him gone.

Ruby

Stuff happens and The guards turn around, letting me free. I see Dylan and I run to him, scared. He flashes a quick smile at me and I sigh, "I think I'll leave the forest for another time."

He nods and I see the saber thingies and freeze. Are those...?

Darth Kredeas

I knew these Jedi were no match for me, I charge in and strike the first two sabers with my own. But there slow and I was much faster than them, I kick one off and concentrate on the male Jedi. I repeatedly slam my sabers into his, he falls back on his rear end as he's unable to handle the force I put behind my strikes. Just before I strike down the male one the female comes and interrupts, I spin around to catch her saber before it hits me. I force push her hard, I send her into a pillar on the other side of the room, I use the Force to take the pillar out of its place and then slam it down on her crushing her. But then I'm thrown, it had to be the male Jedi that was saved by the female one. I land on the wall, I grew tired of playing around and stand on the pillar, I stand on top of it as I start to force lightning into my hand it swirls and turns into ten balls of lightning. I prepared a new form of Force Lightning, and I was about to unleash the whole volley onto the Jedi.

Dylan

Ruby runs up to me and I flash a smile, keeping her behind me and wrapping an arm around her. The stranger and the others start battle and I glance around for Roan, having a sick feeling in my stomach about him. I find him by the King again, as if it was his job to protect him instead of the actual guards. The female from before jumps on the fallen pillar and holds up a giant ball of lightning. Swallowing, I crouch and cover Ruby behind me, protecting her in case it heads this way on mistake.
