Tawain

As Tawain approached his opponent, he felt doubt assail him. He tried to push it out of his mind, but this only made it worse, it almost became a pain...that's when Tawain understood what was happening.
"What's the problem...Darkon, yes? Are your fighting skills so miserable that you need your little mind-tricks in order to win?"
With that, he summoned up the force--which was back again, and as strong as it got--and shielded his mind from the doubt, as well as from anger or any other emotion. almost every emotion. Somehow Sha'ara's image kept popping up in his mind. What was he thinking? This was no way to win a duel. With some effort he emptied his head of all thoughts about the young woman. He was now filled with the sole purpose of doing his best in this match of skills of two Jedi, in order to show that he was worthy of the name, and in order to hone his skills so that he might be better prepared to fight the Dark Side.
The blade of cyan light swept forwards gracefully, wirring through the air like a swallow.

Oh man, you're posting so fast, before i had fininised my post, three others were already up!

 

[Renegade]

Zen

I was realy getting worried about this "Luke I dont like the look of this. Are you sure you know what you are doing?"

Luke didnt respond as he watched the two intently with his eyes as he studied there styles.

 

[Indika]

Sha'ara

I slowly gained my footing and made my over to Zen and Luke. I chewed on my lower lip nervously (not a good thing in a Jedi Knight, but my friend was out there) and watched the action. I looked over at Zen and could tell he was as worried as myself, which gave me very little comfort. I held my breath, watching the event unfold.

OOC:

Renegade... methinks you are busy somewhere else... lol... just kidding... I just type REALLY fast!! 65 wpm.. or so.

 

[gypsyprince]

The girl...

Energy crackled as the sabers clashed. Drakon, swung back twice, and Tawain blocked both. They were face to face, in the heat of the sabers, and Drakon laughed darkly.

"Mind tricks? You speak of the Force as if it were a show in the Mos Eisley Cantina! However, I didn't put the girl in your mind. Are you afraid for her, too?"

Tawain jerked, pushing Drakon off him. He knew no amount of doubt or fear would remove the Force from his soul, but emotions were a difficult thing to harness.

"No brave words?" teased the dark cadet, "Aha! It seems I have touched a soft spot."

Drakon lunged suddenly, and it was all Tawain could do to collect himself and block the attack, which caused his boots to slide back on the dirt. His back was arched under the pressure, and Drakon held him there, glaring.

ooc:
Yarg, I'm really sorry folks, but I'm so tired that I can't keep my eyes open. I need some sleep. Maybe we should continue this tomorrow--er, that is to say, in 6 hours maybe, ok?

One more insult...

Tawain was sweating and gritting his teeth as he struggled to overpower Drakon. The dark one just continued, harassing his friend now, too. Drakon looked to the girl, saying:

"Sha'ara! Tawain likes you! He really does! The pathetic always flock towards one another..."

 

[Indika]

Sha'ara

Sha'ara stood on the sidelines watching the two men battle it out when suddenly, Drakon, I heard Zen call him that called out to me, "Sha'ara, Tawain likes you ... he really does.. the pathetic always flock to each other." Finding stength in my anger, I lashed out mentally and with a great force of anger sent a shockwave that hit Drakon right in between his eyes. In his head he heard me yell, "LEAVE US ALONE!!!" Drakon stood there shocked, looking at me. I was shocked as well, I'd never yielded such power before. Then I felt extremely ashamed, for I knew the only reason that I'd held that power was because I'd used my anger as a weapon. I was no better than Drakon was. I turned and ran from the training field.

 

[Renegade]

Zen

At that moment Luke pulled out his sabre and jumped into action! He kicked Drakon in the face which knocked the dark one back from Tawain! As Tawain ran to the upset Sha'ara Luke charged at the surprised Drakon and with one quick strike knocked the sabre out of Drakons hands and knocked him to the floor! Luke stood over Drakon with his sabre aimed at his throat as Luke explained "Let this be a lesson in humility Drakon. No matter how good you are there is always someone better then you." With that Luke withdrew his sabre and walked away.

 

[Lightman]

Tawain

Tawain stood, bathed in sweat, and watched how Luke quickly vanquished the dark one.
"I... may be pathetic, but...at least I follow...the Jedai code."
As if suddenly remembering something, He sprang to his feet, returning his deactivated sabre to his belt, and ran.
"Sha'ara! Sha'ara! Wait! Wait for me!"

 

[gypsyprince]

Yay goodguys...NOT!

The mental gave gave Tawain the leverage he needed, and he pushed Drakon off with great force, sending him to the ground.

He rested on his elbows, breathing hard as he glared at Tawain, who held his saber to his face.

"Impressive. Are you angry now, Tawain? Do you wish to strike me down? Or should we wait for your girlfriend to finish it? I sensed much anger in her."

OOC: Lightman

I thought you were going to bed....

 

[gypsyprince]

DAMN IT! Forget my last post...

 

[Lightman]

ooc: gypsi--never mind, I'll out it in anyway.
Indika--found out I wasn't all that tired after all...er, you sound displeased somehow...?
ic:
Tawain stopped dead as he heard Drakon's taunt. Then he slowly turned with a dangerous deliberateness. His eyes fixed on the arrogant warrior and were filled with wrath...with hate...his hand brought out his sabre and activated it again....
Then suddenly his face stiffened and his eyes grew dull.
"You are not worth it;" he said in a flat voice. That was all.
He withdrew his sabre again and continued to tun after Sha'ara.

 

[Indika]

Sha'ara (running scared)

The forest was dense with trees but I ran like the devil was chasing me... in fact maybe he was. I could hear him calling my name as I ran blindly through the dark forest. "Sha'ara! Sha'ara wait for me!" Like hell... I pushed myself on racing faster and faster until my legs finally gave out from exhaustion and I collapsed behind a fallend log. Maybe the devil on my tail wouldn't see me. I couldn't believe what I'd done... I'd lashed out in anger. I'd gone to the Dark Side for a brief moment, and what scared me even more was that it wanted me. I could still feel it's claws on me. Movement came at me from my left side and I rolled over and sprang to my feet only to be knocked to the ground by Tawain, unable to slow himself in time to prevent crashing into me. Tears sprang forth from my eyes as I realized who it was. I grabbed him pulling him to me, whispering. "Please hold me... I need to know what goodness feels like right now, just hold me Tawain."

 

[gypsyprince]

DAMN IT!!!! OK ORIGINAL POST IS ON. I EDITED IT BY ACCIDENT THOUGH...

 

[Indika]

OOC

No, Lightman, not displeased at all... just surprised.

 

[gypsyprince]

Ok, whatever, woohoo...

Drakon flipped back up with grace, and floated his saber to his side, dusting off his clothes.

"Your students seem distracted, Master Luke. Perhaps they are out of touch with the Force. Will you punish me for challenging them?"

 

[Indika]

OOC: Possibilities

I'm really excited about this thread... all the possibilities for how it can go are coming up all over the place. Thanks to Gypsy for adding the certain "element" we needed to really stir things up.
