Zul fought off the blows to the best of his ability... "He's fast", he thought. "But not fast enough..." Xul concentrated, using the force and the lessons of Adenn, he reached out and caught Invicta's blade by smashing the two steel gauntlets on his wrists together. The indestructible steel alloy held the blade tight. He could feel his opponent yanking to free the blade. Xul grinned. Taunting him.
He could also feel the heat surging in his forearms as the electricity began to build up. Xul ignited his gauntlet blades, which were also set to non-lethal, as Adenn requested. He thrust forward and kicked Invicta off balance. He then dropped down and swept out a kick to his opponent's feet, releasing them from the ground's pull of gravity.
Darth Macht
Darth Invicta, now in control of his blade, jumped above the swipe and hammered down at Zul's head, missing by inches. He summoned a wall of force and threw it at the Sith-hopeful, knocking him back. After recovering his strength Invicta took a defensive stance.
Kaz-Am Zul
Zul fights through the force wall, and comes at Invicta hard with his blades drawn. He jumps into the air and flipping over his opponent landing on the other side of him. He slashes down with his blades, catching Invicta's defensive moves.
Sabers crossed, Zul moves forward, "How is my luck now, Master Invicta?" Again, Zul concentrates hard on the dark side of the force and conjures a shadow cloud to confound Invicta, as he slips away into the darkness.
Darth Macht
((How are you powerful enough to brake through a force wall, strike me down, then disappear into the darkness that you mystically created? Oh well....))
Invicta pulled himself up and looked around, unable to find his enemy. His eyes clicked around the room, scanning for his foe. Finally, as the cloud descended, his opponent charged, slashing his lightsaber down at Invitca, who was barely able to block the attack. Both the opponents fell away from each other briefly before continuing the fight.
High Defender Adenn
[[Hey, Zul. He is not a master yet. And two, you are not of the ability to break threw a force wall. 2nd, there are shadows in the room. But neither of you have the ability to hide your selfs in them.]]
Kaz-Am Zul
[[I could have sworn there was a "Darth" in front of Invicta's name before... My bad. How should I address him, as he is my superior? As for my feeble attempts at pulling shadows using force powers, these are only attempts and are not intended successful... But, I think its a good exercise to practice, no?]]
Zul is easily spotted by Invicta. And he wishes he has the Sith skills to master such an art. Someday, he hopes, as the duel rages on.
Invicta comes at him hard with his saber, it takes all Zul's strength to hold off the attack with his own blades. He head butts Invicta, and tries to knock the saber from his opponent's hands with his hands. But, Invicta holds fast. Zul attempts to head butt him again....
Darth Macht
((Sorry I didn't post lately. For some reason I thought I had posted last... oh well. By the way, why do you keep switching from past to present tense?))
Lentri pulled his head to the side and released his left hand, weakening his defenses slightly. With his hand he grabbed Kaz-Am Zul's neck, bringing the opponent down mostly through sheer surprise. Lentri's grip slowly tightened, choking his opponent, before the duelist punched Lentri in the stomach, sending him flying a few yards, yet without much injury.
Lentri pulled himself up and positioned his hand toward Kaz-Am Zul. He pulled back before punching forward, releasing a spire of fast-traveling force missiles at his enemy. The beam of the force, combined with some minor Sith lightning, quickly stabbed toward his opponenet.
Kaz-Am Zul
Zul watched as the force missiles headed toward him, "That's going to hurt," he thought as he lept in the air to avoid them... but not all, and his right leg and cape are singed thoroughly by the dark force projectiles. "Wow," Zul said... "Now that is a trick that Master Adenn has to show me..."
He felt another blast heading his way for his insolence, and he lept again out of the way to avoid Invicta's wrath. "My force powers are limited. This hardly seems like a fair match!" He exclaimed as he flipped back over again and landed a round house kick to Invicta's chest...
High Defender Adenn
"It is not meant to be fair. It is meant to teach you." The High Protector said as he looked at Invicta. "Darth Invicta. I do not wish him dead. But I am disapointed that you have not been able to finish him." He said hoping to give the man some determination.
Darth Macht
For a few seconds after Invicta twisted back from the kick, he looked at his master with hateful, yet thankful eyes. His master had pushed his body and mind to the limit- an avenue of training that nearly killed the then Lentri- and burnt him with Sith lightning. Yet he wanted to impress his master for some reason....
"Sting," he laughed as he stabbed at his opponent, attempting to hit him in his un-protected chest under his blade.
Kaz-Am Zul
Zul keels over from the blow in pain. But the pain is good. It means, he is still alive. He realized from this match that he has much to learn from his Master. Now he was eager to get back to his lessons.
But, regains his footing quickly..."Let's Finish This!", he cries as he lashes out toward Invicta with his duel blades, one ferocious strike after another...
Darth Macht
Invicta held back the first few strikes, but had to force his way around and away from the Sith because of his opponent's superior strength. Blow after blow hacked down at Invicta until he decided he had to end the duel. He fell to the ground, his opponent moving in to win the duel, and, when Kaz- Am Zul's presence was strongest and nearest, Invicta struck. His blade in his hand flew through the air as fast as possible toward his opponent's chest.
Kaz-Am Zul
Zul took the blow hard and fell to the ground. Clearly, Invicta was superior, as it should be. Zul bowed to Invicta, "Thank you for this lesson. I hope that we can re match one day when my training is complete."
Out of breath, climbs to his feet and awaits Invicta's final words. He wonders if his master, Adenn, will appear to instruct him further.
Darth Macht
Invicta bowed to his foe, clearly one to become a mighty Sith. He presented his hand, and his opponent shook it gratefully.
"One hard match," Invicta reasoned.
High Defender Adenn
"Well fought." He said to them both as he walked forward. "Zul. You will report back to the training ground for further deliberation. Darth Invicta. I thank you for your help."
