Tholme looked at the screen and the ships displayed there, zooming in on the side of one. "Bando Gora!" he said shaking his head. "They are a death cult who have ruled in all but name in segments of the Out Rim. I thought their power broken, but it would appear not."
"Joy," Lily growled, cursing her ghost form more now than she had ever done before. "So what do we do?"
Tholme shrugged, pulling his lightsaber from his belt. "We fight."
"Quinlan," he said turning to his padawan. "Head back down to the students, move them into the center of the ship as much as possible and guard them there. The rest of us will split into teams of three." By the time he was finished Lily was already gone, phasing through the floor and heading down towards the students.
By the time Quinlan arrived, she had gotten them organized and heading in the right direction, with Harry at the back with Alecto, who had according to him been taught some hand-to-hand by his father and mother. He also knew how to shoot, having gone hunting a few times. Quinlan immediately sent one of the droids to grab a gun for the youngster, returning quickly and arming him.
Harry nodded grimly, his fingers flexing as he looked at his mom. "I think I need to really bring out all the stops here mom."
Lily nodded. "We have time to start laying out some traps and other things using your transfiguration Harry, let's pull out all the stops here. I don't want you to have to kill anyone but…"
"I know mom," he said, reaching up and placing his hand over hers, touching it lightly as she made her hand corporeal for a moment. "I know, but I think traps and other things will make a major difference here." Lily nodded, and Harry went to work preparing the battlefield.
OOOOOOO
The shields faltered moments into the attack, and the corvettes closed, blowing open the bay doors and entering quickly. About 50 people trooped out, wearing space armor before they threw up an emergency shield generator which kept the air inside the training vessel's destroyed outer bay doors. After that a further 200 people trooped out of the four small corvettes, and they all began to race toward the inner entrance.
Inside they ran into the Jedi, standing there three abreast in the hallway their lightsabers activated. "You have come to prey upon our younglings, you will find that their teachers do not look upon this kindly." said Sarah coldly, racing forward with her two aides.
Elsewhere, Tholme and To'neen stood equally calmly, pushing the air around them as the drill on one of the boarding ships bored into the side of the training vessel. Before they even had finished, Tholme and To'neen was on them, lightsabers flashing and slashing.
Stymied in their assault on two fronts, the Bando Gora aboard their ships opened a third assault, then a fourth. The fourth got through, racing deeper into the bowels of the training vessel as their fellows engage the Jedi at ruinous cost.
OOOOOOO
Harry might not have learned many spells from his mom, but he had learned a few illusion and shield spells to go with the number of cloaking type spells, and his transfiguration/conjuration ability. Watching him work now, Lily knew that her son was better at transfiguration then his father had ever been. And all that without words or wand waving, she thought. Harry gestured with his full hand forward, like the Jedi seemed to do for when they used their Force powers, but that was all.
He and Alecto were both crouched in one doorway down the hall from the living quarters for the clan, with two of the other older boys alongside them on the opposite side. Quinlan was kneeling between them, his lightsaber's hilt in one hand as he rested it on the floor of the hallway, his eyes closes as he prepared himself for the fight to come.
Behind them were other students, all crouching with Lily hovering in the air above them. Several dozen small metal shields around the size of a buckler that Harry had conjured into being rested on the ground before them. Occasionally one of them would move as the students all crouched in the doorways, staring from the shields to the far end of the hallway intently. Aayla was in the forefront of this group, looking worriedly between the shields, Harry and Quinlan. Harry, Alecto, and Quinlan were the offense, the rest of the children were the defense.
But it was the corridor forward of Quinlan that had made Lily realize that her son had already surpassed his father. Because it was lined from one end to another with large Jack-in-the-Boxes, small defensive barriers, wires strewn from one side of the corridor to another, and other items of that nature. A few of them weren't real but for the most part they were very real, and they were going to be an issue for anyone attacking them.
The communicator on Quinlan's belt beeped, and he opened his eyes coming out of his pre-battle trance to take it in one hand. "Master?"
"Quinlan, I sense they have opened up another avenue of assault. We and the others are all tied down where we are however and cannot get away. Can you hold long enough for us to deal with the groups we're already facing?"
Quinlan smiled sardonically standing up and looking at the defenses Harry had emplaced, his lightsaber activating as he strode forward. "We'll still be here when you arrive master, just don't expect to recognize the hall from what it had looked like before, Harry's been… creative."
At the end of the hallway the first few cultists came into view, only to stop and stare at the cavalcade of odd colors and the sheer difference between the rest of the ship and this area. "What the kriffing hells?"
That was as far as the speaker, a Devaronian, got before he got into range of one of the little traps that Harry had devised. His feet tripped a wire and the Jack-in-the-Box alongside the hall beside him launched itself out with punishing force sending him careening backwards with a broken jaw.
