The **Showdown on Dxun** was a significant fight that took place between personnel of Strike Team 42 and the mysterious Inquisitor, the Eleventh Brother, during 0 ABY.

## **Duel in the Lost Tomb**

### **Prelude**

After managing to escape the Imperial Fleet at XQ-2-7394, Strike Team 42 reported to the Alliance cruiser, the *Aurora*, to report on their mission. After acquiring an ancient Sith Holocron, Colonel Gensly ordered the team to return it to its location on Dxun. After agreeing to find one of their team members, Strike Team 42 flew the *Liberator One* to Onderon, where they began to search for Jonaa Duelian. After flying around for some time, the team began to use scanners and sensors, but believed the best place to start would be at Lika Town. After speaking with Mayor Zaric, Calo Pliskin and Marco were able to find Jonaa, and after inspecting the holocron, the team reunited and departed for Dxun. In the mean time, the Eleventh Brother, who had predicted this would happen, started heading for Dxun as well. Eventually finding an ancient tomb, the team had placed the holocron inside the main sarcophagus. Jonaa attempted to find an exit, but instead the spirit of King Ommin inside of a Dreamscape and refused the temptation of the Dark Side. Meanwhile, Marco, who had stayed near the entrance of the tomb to guard it against any intruders, was quickly surprised by the Eleventh Brother, who used the Dark Side to extract the location of the Strike Team, and after throwing Marco through the door and confronted the team, focusing primarily on taking down Jonaa.

### **The Duel**

Quickly running behind the Eleventh Brother, Agent Foxtrot attempted to choke the Inquisitor with his garrote, but the Inquisitor quickly cut it, forcing Calo to find an alternative method to fight him. Domino quickly raised his blaster and took at shot at the Eleventh Brother who simply deflected it back into him, with Jonaa rushing forward and managing to inflict minor cuts against the battle hardened Force wielder. As the Eleventh Brother began to drive Jonaa back, Calo Pliskin attempted to pull him back with his harpoon launcher built into the exo-glove he wore, but it didn't work. The Inquisitor kept pushing forward on Jonaa, and managed to cut him, but Domino quickly rushed forward. Attempting to tackle the Eleventh Brother, it was utterly thwarted as he cut off the left hand of Domino. Jonaa quickly threw the holocron towards the Eleventh Brother in response, trying to force him into the Dreamscape, but the Eleventh Brother simply caught it in his hands, and Jonaa was unable to activate it. After realizing they were overpowered, Calo rushed over to Marco's unconscious body, and started to carry him away from the fight as Domino followed. The Eleventh Brother continued pursuing Jonaa, but after swinging, Jonaa ducked and tried jumping down a small set of stairs, attempting to slash the Inquisitor's side, but he dodged the attack and extended his hand, force pushing him into one of the pillars and extended his hand, crackling with Force Lightning and threw the powerful attack at Duelian. Calo, believing he could throw the liquor bottle he had found earlier at the Inquisitor and ignite the liquor, thrusted it forward, but he dodged it and force sped towards the agent and cut an agonizing wound into his right knee. Quickly recovering, Calo rushed back to Marco and attempted to escape the fight with Marco and return to the ship alongside Domino. Kodrick Zusk quickly lunged at the Eleventh Brother, who threw her off and activated his second blade, cutting out Kodrick's eyes and blinding them. Jonaa reacted to this by once against trying to activate the holocron, but it was unsuccessful, and the Inquisitor quickly pulled Jonaa towards him, leaving him on his knees so he could strike down his target, but Calo managed to rush forward and tackle the Inquisitor as he was not prepared for this sudden move. Knocked down, Jonaa rushed over to the blinded Kodrick, who was attempting to wound the Inquisitor while he was down, but Jonaa picked up Kodrick and rushed to escape the tomb.

### **Aftermath**

The Eleventh Brother had managed to recover from the fight, but Strike Team 42 quickly made their exit, with Suob Nobo flying the *Liberator One* away from the world. The Eleventh Brother ordered the pursuing *Imperial I*-class Star Destroyer to let them go. Despite not managing to capture or kill Jonaa, he was partially successful, and recovered the Holocron of the Naddists. Meanwhile, Strike Team 42, who were wounded and in a great deal of pain since the encounter, had failed to return the ancient device to where it belonged and to keep it out of Imperial hands, while also suffering major injuries, including Domino's maimed left hand and Kodrick now blind, which was unfortunate for the pilot.
