[Sanj-Misavj]

Sanj smiled, as he walked into the training room. He then ignited his lightsaber and looked at its blue glow the low humming soothed him it was peaceful and tranquil. He moved it around a couple of times and then charged at Reptillia. He kept the blade waist level, it was about 3 inches away from his body, he didn't expect it to make contact with Reps body, in fact he hoped that it didn't for it would prove to be no fun. He then got ready for Rep to parry and hoped that his agile would see him through to victory.

 

((Short but just to get the party started oh and 1))

[Reptilia]

Rep had anticipated Sanj's reckless attack as he used that style before, he closed his eyes and listened as they grew louder and louder and consequently nearer and nearer. He sidestepped the Aruzan and as he passed him he gave a slight push so as to force him into the wall. After his first attack he jumped back to create distance between them, he grabbed both of his training sabers from his belt and with an audible crack they emitted a green and blue blade from the hilts that he held gracefully in his hands. His legs lowered, he brought his right arm up and pointed his saber at Sanj and let his left arm drift lower and planned to use it to defend against him. He knew that he had an advantage by using two sabers and also the trick he had up his sleeve in case he got into hot water.

[Sanj-Misavj]

Sanj hit the wall at a medium speed it was enough to stun him for a couple of seconds but not enough to injure him. He kept a slight smile on his face he was having a good time. He was slightly surprised that he wasn't immediately attacked as he was expecting. He would take the time to think of a strategy. He wouldn't have a straightforward attack too predictable he'd have to be surprising if he wanted to win this duel. He knew what exactly to do, annoy his opponent. He then used the force to contact Rep and left a few annoying messages, Ello Governor how's the weather? and several others. Sanj then used the opportunity to strike. He snuck up behind him and swung at him in a backhand notion.

[Reptilia]

Reptilia was confused by Sanj's tactic, annoying him, which was distracting wasn't going to do much. All He could do was try and ignore the messages and concentrate on battling.

 

"WTF?" He asked his opponent, mostly jokingly but it was a serious question but when he looked where Sanj had been he was shocked to see that he was absent, he looked around frantically trying to find him and as he mentally scolded himself for being distracted by the annoying ploy. He turned to see the Aruzian as he was attacking, he knocked Rep onto the floor. He regained his composure and wrapped his legs around Sanj's trying to roll so he would trip and Rep would have the upper hand once again. As he was attacking he had drew upon the Force which had been surrounding the two padawans, he was using it to create his own message. He forced it into Sanj's mind, it was an evil thought which would most likely handicap Sanj if it was viewed to the full extent but if it was warded off it would be useless and Reptilia's attempt would be in vain.

 

(This is my second post, the other one was my first, I put the wrong number. 2)

[Sanj-Misavj]

He chuckled silently in his mind, his plan had worked and Rep was down and soon, for not Uno not dos but tres. Then it hit him, it was more powerful than a thousand death star beams. He was Rick rolled. He grabbed his head in an attempt to shake off the villainous music. Eventually it was over, the trauma would follow him forever though the nightmares might never end. He then swung at Reptillia who he hoped was still there. If he wasn't, well he just hoped he was.

 

(3 ”˜o 4)

[Reptilia]

Rep was glad that his attack had worked, it was easily the most devastating attack that could be summoned up so quickly that wouldn't kill. He jumped up from the ground so he could regain his leverage, he parried Sanj's blade his own and used his other blade to attack, he aimed at Sanj's legs hoping he would try and block it so the rest of his body was left defenseless and open to Rep's sabers. Instead of swinging at his defenseless body he had a different plan, one that would not only be interesting to see if it actually played out correctly but one that would also test his strength in the Force and how much he had grown since he started his journey to become a Jedi.

 

((3))

[Sanj-Misavj]

Sanj knew what was coming, he'd have to figure out a way to block both blades and attack, he knew what to do, it deffinatly could be considered unpredictable. He quickly used the force to move the knob on his saber hilt to adjust the length so it was twice the original size and made it thiner so it wouldn't be too weak. he then moved the blade up in a fashion that would allow him to block both of the blades. Once he did so, he moved his leg up to enable him to land a kick. He then put all the force he could into the kick. Sanj then swung the blade chest at Rep a couple of second after he made contact and hoped he would make contact with Rep.

 

((4, this was fun))

[Reptilia]

Reptilia hadn't expected Sanj to compensate as well as he did or at all even so he was put off when he activated the dual-phase feature on his blade. The Kel Dor simply brought his blades together to almost form one blade and applied more pressure, he saw the kick coming but he didn't have a chance at avoiding it so he turned his training sabers off to prevent any damage from falling on them and tried jumping with the kick to cushion the blow, it didn't work but helped send him flying across the room.

 

He landed on his back but he rolled into a standing position, his sabers were already back on his belt. Rep had his hands up defensively but was focusing on his next "attack". He was concentrating the Force into an explosion but he did it in a way so it wouldn't cause any damage, it would just be a blinding light. He didn't have much faith in his plan but it was mostly a test so he could see where he has grown.

 

When the time came he let go of his concentration which caused a bright light to explode in the room, Sanj would most likely be blinded by it for a few seconds. Rep had already begun his assault, he had silently ran across the training room, when he neared Sanj he dropped one knee and brought the other leg close to Sanj's, he brought his arm between his legs and brought him on his back, Reptilia then rolled and pinned Sanj down.

 

(4. I didn't know how to post that but give you the option if it happened so just choose what you want to actually happen and ignore the other stuff. And sorry if the wrestling move was a little much but I wanted a creative way to end the duel.)

[Sanj-Misavj]

Everything was going to plan, he had landed his kick, and unfortunately for him Rep was ready. He was caught by surprise by Reptillia blocking his attack. He was completely caught off guard when Rep seemed to explode. Sanj dropped his saber to grab his eyes but his vision was already lost. He wildly swung his arms in vain attempting to hit Rep. He then felt Rep grab him and pin him down. Sanj then struggled to get loose but it didn't work. He was though happy when his vision started to come back, it was first blurry but soon became clear. ”œUncle,”

[Reptilia]

"I don't really know, it was worked thought I guess." Reptilia said as he rolled off of Sanj. He gathered himself and sat down cross legged. The blinding light was something Rep had thought of awhile back and he had practiced it in small scales when he had time but he didn't know that he would be able to pull it off. "And it was pretty cool."

[Sanj-Misavj]

Sanj moved so he'd be able to sit. He then rubbed his eyes as he listened to Rep talk. He then added, "And painful, deffinatly wasn't expecting to go blind," and continued. "But yes, if I wasn't having my eyes burned out, it would have been cool. How do you do it?" and waited for Rep to respond.

[Reptilia]

Rep thought about all the steps that he took in creating the light, after thinking them out and how to articulate them he answered. "I just focused the Force as compact as I could but made sure it wouldn't do any damage, after I felt it was powerful enough I just severed my concentration so it exploded." After telling Sanj how he had managed to do the 'light bomb' as he called it he realized that it was pretty simple.

[Lord Ar-Pharazon]

"You strumpet. You're totally gonna burn in Hell when I'm done at you."

 

Ar-Pharazon reached into the Force and prepared his attack. It would be an evil one.

 

"Strumpet. That is the word which characterizes you." Ar-Pharazon's evil was boiling. "Six six six," he yelled," summoning foul energy.

[Chajiko]

OOC: It's been a long, LONG time since I RPed as a FU fighting like this--so I'm going to be very rusty.

 

"At least choose a better word!" she cried indignantly, ducking for cover behind the chair he'd so insolently sprawled in before. She summoned the Force, feeling it flow through her--refreshing and reminding her of the things she had--so easily--forgotten.

 

She tore the nail out of her hand and threw it to the deck, then closed both hands firmly about her lightsaber.

[Sanj-Misavj]

"Hmm I think I'll try it, might want to close your eyes or something it really hurts." Sanj then stood up and walked a couple of steps back and closed his eyes. He did what Rep said and began to let the force run through him like a rapid Sanj felt the power build up, he scaled it down so it wouldn't cause an explodsion that would damage the room and possibly do worse. He felt the light burst out of him and felt it receed. He then turned to Rep and asked, "Do did I do it right?"

[Rodya]

After making several random jumps, an unmarked Corellian Corvette exited hyperspace in an unknown system. Seconds later an identical Corvette exited and linked with the first. The crews exchanged cargo and in no time parted, both making several more jumps before making their way to their final destinations.

((My critique on the duel OOC wise: **Note: Since this was not an officially modded duel, all posts still stand, this is strictly for your own benefit, and my own opinion.))

 

((First of all, I apologize for my absence things have been a little hectic at work with me changing departments and Edward's Uncle dying unexpectedly. Good initiative in posting on both your parts, good job creating your own action boys.))

 

((Both: Re-read your posts to make sure that they make sense before you post them. Don't count on the spell check on Firefox or whatever word program you use if you use them at all. They won't catch the mistakes if the word you mis-typed is real. Proofreading your posts is crucial, and makes you an all around better RPer. And in modded duel situations, an easy to follow/read post will work to your advantage every time.))

 

((Also look to your back posts for continuity. Rep, I've gone back in the posts and I don't really see where you've mastered the use of one saber, let alone two. Let's try to stick to single blade combat until you pick a form to really utilize. Padawans don't generally start off fighting with two lightsabers, that's usually reserved for Knighthood or much later in their training closer to their trials. As far as your double-bladed lightsaber, that would fall under the ”œone weapon”

[Reptilia]

After a burst of light emitted from Sanj Reptilia rubbed his eyes and replied to the man.

 

"Yeah, I guess you did."

 

Rep looked up as his master addressed them, he was glad that she had seen the duel and complemented them which showed that they were doing something right. He listened as she explained their course of action and almost instantaneously had a question.

 

"What is our mission form the Council."

[Xae-Lin Ardel]

”œWe are to make contact with a resistance group. I have R2 monitoring the Holonet for any news of their whereabouts. I will fill you in on more information as I get it. We will also let the Force guide us,”

[Lord Ar-Pharazon]

Ar-Pharazon deftly reached out in the Force and summoned all evil to him. As his bloodshot eyes now pulsed yellow with the foul dark side, he yelled out. Unrighteous anger and vile hate, teeming with greed, relentlessly flowed through him like a drug-laden, sewage-filled river that powerfully burst through a very strong dam, which previously held back an oversized ocean that once sat atop an unsuspecting village. THAT WOULD CHANGE. Evil was barred, but now no longer.

 

”œWhore! There is no better word, for no greater vocabulary has been drafted that could more precisely describe you. Whore”¦ Whore”¦ Whore”¦”

[Chajiko]

She clung to the weapon, despite the blood wetting her fingers--and didn't even let go when the blow came to the back of her head. She reeled with the force of it, but kept her senses for the moment. The insane man's shrieks seemed to blend together and then fade into inconsequential background noise as she shook her head to clear it.

Things were clearer now--she understood at last what was happening.

 

She also knew that she had to kill him--this creature who had once been human.

 

She blasted at his mind with the Force. Just as he had aimed to break her skull, she hoped to main connections--to disassociate thought and action and effectively still him.

[Lord Ar-Pharazon]

Ar-Pharazon grabbed at his head, in pain. He was thrilled though, that Vega, a sworn defender of good, would be willing to use the Force as a weapon, which wasn't really considered ”˜kosher' by any Jedi with even a mildly profound sense of ethics. Perhaps there was still a chance to convert her to evil.

 

”œTake a gander at this!”

[Chajiko]

"If I give up my saber, will you send him back to safety?" Vega demanded from her cover behind the chair. "I know your sort--you'd just shoot him anyway even if I did put it down."

Her mind was a confused whirl of thoughts--images and memory--and a welling up of fresh horror at the things she had done that day. She clamped down on them ruthlessly, concentrating at the moment only on defeating her enemy.

[Lord Ar-Pharazon]

”œYou have my word. If I don't set the boy loose, I will give you a check made out to the Jedi Order, from me, for one billion credits. I'm sure they could buy a lot of hardware with that kind of money.”

[Chajiko]

Vega's eye twitched. "You're mocking me," she growled. "Be serious!" She quickly switched hands on the saber, trying to wipe the blood off onto her clothes so that she could get a better grip.

[Lord Ar-Pharazon]

"How the hell am I mocking you?" yelled out Ar-Pharazon in reply. "I've got the damn check filled out and readied the proper amount, to the Jedi Order, as promised. Imagine all the lightsabers and X-Wings they could buy with that money. Come on..."

 

He pulled the action back on the gun, so Vega could hear the click - an indication that the evil man was serious.

 

"Last chance. Surrender, or I'll murder this boy dead."

[Chajiko]

Vega made an enraged noise--and shut her lightsaber off, dropping it with an audible thunk onto the decktiles. "Now let him go! Send him back!"

[Lord Ar-Pharazon]

Ar-Pharazon was a man of his word, in theory. He released the boy from his grip. The boy scampered off, drowned in fear and unaware why the legendary tyrant had been holding him captive. Demonically, Ar-Pharazon then turned to Vega, as he scooped her lightsaber up with the Force, and as it sailed from the ground into his hand, he fired his gun at the Jedi weapon, shattering it beyond repair. She had taken the bait, and would now reap the fruit of such a bad decision.

 

Ar-Pharazon spun his body around, and fired a shot into the fleeing child's unbulletproof cranium, ninety yards away, immediately dropping him to the floor lifeless and senselessly murdered ”“ forever ”“ by a tyrant ”“ for the sake of evil ”“ from demons ”“ by demons ”“ with demons ”“ alongside demons. The Sith, who was probably possessed by hundreds of demons and ghosts, exploded with cruel laughter.

 

”œDammit, Vega. You're absolutely right. I can't help myself. I'm not a man of my word. I don't really like to tell the truth very often.”

[Chajiko]

Vega was still crouched in the cover of the throne-like chair and she didn't make a move to retrieve the checkbook as it fluttered to the deck some feet away.

"Blood money," she hissed. "No amount is high enough to cover the price of a child."

 

She heard the action of the pistol click ominously as it was cocked--and acted before she could change her mind. Jerking her last weapon from its place of concealment, she weighed the jagged throwing knife in her hand before peering around the side of the chair and flinging the knife at the Sith Lord's throat, guiding its path with the Force and praying it would strike home before it was too late.

 

[King Kheldar vos Correlli]

Ruling on AP's killshot of Chajiko, round 2. Noting since the last killshot request, matters and posts have been more developed and it's been fun to read on.

 

In terms of the effectiveness of the attack- Vega has established cover behind an initiall non-descript chair, brought into the room on a June 18th post- also decribed as throne-like- this is no insignificant amount of cover. Ar-Pharazon in turn fired a pistol/slug thrower. Conventional weapons such as this are usually stronger in the SW universe to accomidate for armor piercing and as the killshot post showed, also capable of shattering a lightsaber, crystal and all- no mean feat given their construction. Enough to shoot through a chair with a solid build and severely wound someone on the other side? Very likely.

 

Aim/cover being an issue- both parties are Force sensitives- one a Sith master- Vega is at the least a knight due to demotion rules, having former been a Jedi master back in the day. Ar-Pharazon was able to reach behind the chair and force grab the lightsaber, so sensing someone hiding behind cover is not hard. At the same time though, weight then must be given to the possibility of a killshot countered by Vega's knife throw from aiming behind cover.

 

The factors aim in Vega being hit to some degree. The question is fatally or not? At the very least- would it be enough to break the concentration of throwing a Force guided knife, stopping a killshot countered (but still presenting a real threat in a killshot failed)? Yes, but it's a near, near thing. Is the shot fatal, or enough to incapacitate? Aim is a minimal issue due to the Force levels of the parties here. If the gun can shatter a lightsaber, it can shoot through a chair a guard can carry. It's a close toss up between one party fatally getting a knife to the throat, and the other being hurt/wounded/killed by a pistol.

 

Killshot successful.
