Alethea had to admit, this foe was powerful. This would be a hard fought battle. She opened herself up to the Force, and more specifically to her partner. She could feel him in the Force, feel his intentions, predict his actions. This would be how they would win. Working together. This Sith was powerful, and would no doubt be a challenge to defeat, even two against one. Still, Alethea had no doubt that, if they worked together, they would prevail.<br/><br/>Thal-ion was the first to jump back in, pulling their opponent toward him and attacking. The woman didn't appear to be familiar with his form, but it didn't stop her from successfully defending against every blow. Not wasting any time, Alethea jumped in, paying as much attention to their opponent as she did to her partner. As she had in their duel, she began with a Shien reverse-grip mixed with her Niman form. She attacked fast and hard, but not too hard. She tried to balance making their opponent work harder and expend more energy without expending too much of her own. Neither of the forms the Sith used were known for conserving energy, so the more she was made to expend in defending herself, the less she would have to strike with.<br/><br/>Dar'ia proclaimed that it wouldn't be so easy before she leapt over Alethea. Feeling her companion's intention, she allowed him to pull her away, drawing on Djem so, she used the momentum of the action to twist herself back around towards their opponent and kick off the ground, launching a counter-attack as Thal-ion pressed their opponent back towards her. She leaped to them, using both of her lightsabers to strike in a single, powerful blow, augmented by the Force. It would take all of their opponent's attention for at least as long as it took for the strike to land and be blocked, before she could use her lightsaber to respond to anything Thal-ion threw at her. Drawing again on the principles of Djem so and blending it with Ataru, she used the energy expended by her opponent to block the blow and push her back, flipping back in mid-air, landing a couple of yards away before leaping back in to rejoin the battle, returning again to a mix of Shien and Niman, with a little Ataru thrown in when necessary.<br/><br/>Dar'ia seemed to be getting angry now. Her teeth were clenched and it was obvious by the air around her that she was seething. "Ahhh!" she pushed both of the young Jedi back. "You little brats! You think you can defeat me, a Sith Lord?! You think you can't stop my plans?!" she hissed as she began, but laughed in a depraved, and slightly frightening manner as she continued. "What is set in motion cannot be stopped! Even if you stop me, it wouldn't matter!" She laughed, "How does it feel? To know that even if you succeed, you still fail? HOW DOES IT FEEL?!" she laughed, the sound bordering on hysteria, her madness becoming more and more evident.<br/><br/>Alethea didn't let the words of the woman get to her. She couldn't. Even if she were telling the truth, they couldn't let that distract them. If they did, if they gave in to fear, they might both die, and then there truly wouldn't be any hope. Rather than listen to any more of this, Alethea moved to leap forward, but just as she did, the station lurched beneath her, causing her to stumble for a moment before she regained her composure. "What did you do?" she questioned, but the only answer she got was another crazed laugh. Her gaze flit to Thal-ion, as if asking him what he wanted to do.
