Battle for Tython II: The Great Forest

[The Storyteller]

Arda has returned to the world with her Order she will not give up on the potential that is the Jedi Order. With the crippling of the Sith Empire now is the time for them to strike fast and hard. This fight will be just as tough with the entire galaxy having their eyes turned to the core. The remnants of the Sith and those who are still dedicated to their Empire are still filled with hatred to the Jedi and will seek opportunity to push them back into extinction.

Battle for Tython II

The Great Forest

The Jedi have been sent to search through the forests for dark side entities, though what they will find instead are the Sith Orders servants waiting to introduce them to their wrath. Through the tall, thick groves of Ak Trees, the Jedi will encounter their challenge not only with their opponent, but within themselves as they are tested.​

Jedi: Padawan @Omnis Waszylla & Knight @Sakadi Marathi Sinvala
Sith: Acolyte @Zarya & Crusader @Kalanda Tishire


Please reference here for the rules.

 

[Sakadi Marathi Sinvala]

The Knightess quietly wandered through the lush and dense forest of Tython, her gaze falling upon everything that moved or made sound. This was her second visit to the planet and the second chance for the Order to establish a foothold in the deep core. This time, however, she would not be caught off guard. She would not allow the Sith to stay in possession of the planet; not after the declaration of their Emperor...

In tune and open to the Light side, Sakadi allowed the Living Force to wash over her once again. If any dark presence came remotely close to her, she'd know in an instant. She glanced at her fellow Jedi, a young and energetic individual who she hadn't formally met yet. His presence made her a little uneasy, for this was the first time they actually worked together. Having to trust a stranger in a battle that could possibly end lives, that was quite a step to take for her. Not that they were tasked to directly fight the Sith though, no, purging the Great Forest of the Dark side, that was their objective.

However, the fact that they weren't meant to fight the Sith, didn't mean Sakadi wasn't prepared for it. The actual battle didn't happen that far away from them and she wasn't planning to lose another lightsaber due to a sudden encounter with a group of Sith. That was why she came armored and fully prepared for combat, carrying both her obtained purple and white lightsabers, a blaster pistol and her slugthrower, all hidden underneath her brown Jedi cloak.

Sakadi turned to Omnis and once she got his attention, she would point to the west, indicating that she wanted to advance further west.

[Omnis Waszylla]

Omnis was amazed to be here, on the planet that had meant so much tot he Jedi so long ago. He'd known that his ancestor Dennys had stolen some Younglings away from the temple before the Sith attacked, so they wouldn't be harmed. It all seemed like just fanciful tales from a time long gone by, but to be here now, to live and breathe on this planet, made it all seem so much more real. Dennys had been a Sith, an Exile, and now Omnis was working to become a Jedi. He knew the deceased man wouldn't be angry at him, though. He always had been about finding one's own path in life, wherever it would lead them. He could feel his equipment, his stun baton and blaster hidden under his jacket alongside his frag grenades and thermal detonators. He knew there was going to be a fight and he wouldn't hide from it. No, words would not work here. He would have to pit his will against that of his enemy, hopefully his would be the stronger.

As his partner Sakadi gestured to him to go west, he nodded and went with her as he watched her back. The forest was dense in places, the trees tall and the canopy cutting down a lot of the sunlight. Weaves of roots made rough and sudden hills in the forest floor, making for treacherous drops if one didn't watch one's step. This also made plenty of places to hide, if needed, though Force-willing they wouldn't need to do that. One hand on the hilt of his blaster, the other wrapped around a thermal detonator, he kept an eye out for the opposition. The Force flowed around him, Omnis ready to use it at a moment's notice to defend in the case of a surprise attack. He had to be on his best game, here.

[Kalanda Tishire]

Being away from her master, Kalanda could only feel a sense of foreboding as she awaited the jedi to arrive; assuming they would. Mid said this battle would be the most important one of her life. Ever since then, she had been on edge, wanting them to just hurry up and get here. She flexed her fingers, tightened and releasing her her fists, trying to release the nervous energy she was penting up. Turning towards the trees, she couldn't understand what the jedi saw in this place. Yes, the force was teeming in this place, but it was hallow, shallow. It reminded her of Reuben. Weak. She and another acolyte had been asked to keep guard over this area, apparently the jedi found the grounds here to be rather pleasant.

Clad in armor and with saber, warblade, blaster, and grenades on hand, Kalanda went back to the task at hand, knowing her fellow acolyte would be doing the same. She kept herself open to the force, mindful that while things might be calm for the time being, they could very well change. Her black robes were lifted by a gust through the trees, as the branches rattled against one another, a symphony of nature played out with leafs raining down on the grass that laid below. Kalanda didn't like, not one bit. It was too peaceful. To quiet. On Korriban, the empty howls of the Valley of the Sith put a resolve in her heart. Here? The prattling of the trees filled her with a sense of annoyance. The only value this world had to the Sith, was that it kept the jedi from holding onto it. Her lightsaber fluttered into her open left hand, as she spun it around for a bit, before letting it rest in her hand. She didn't know why she kept this thing anyways, all it did was symbolize her dependency on the tool. She needed her master to notice her this time, she needed Mid to see she still had value. This was her chance, Avan wouldn't be here to screw it up this time, and Sakadi? Well, hopefully she wouldn't see that witch ever again.

[Zarya]

Once again she was back on this world, back to fight the jedi and their Galactic Alliance, the last time they were here the sith drove them back to whatever hole they call and today we will do the same. Her last battle was a cakewalk, the rebels they sent barely posed a challenge, she hoped this time round they would fight back a little harder as not completely steamroll them.

She wore her standard battle armour, her saberstaff in her hand while the rest of her gear lay across her belt, she was crouched in a tree some distance ahead of her compatriot between a dissection in the tree trunk where it split into 3 parts, some 20 feet up. She was actively hiding her presence in the force, waiting in ambush for the jedi.

@Powerfullhorus @Insalius @Algarus

 

[Sakadi Marathi Sinvala]

The Knightess moved west, with her ally closely behind her. She was in tune with the Living Force, as she confidently strolled through the forest, passing a small stream and a few treacherous drops. Just as she started thinking that the forest was secure, she felt it. A cold, dark presence, sticking out like a sore thumb in this pool of the Living Force. But it was not just the presence that made her hold her breath. No, it was the familiarity of it. While she had only met the Acolyte once before, she immediately knew who it was. The apprentice of an acquaintance of her. Kalanda.

Sakadi glanced at her ally to see if he felt the dark presence too. If not, she would inform him of the looming danger. It was still a bit further away, in one of the less densely packed areas of the forest. She assumed that Kalanda had chosen her terrain with a reason; it allowed for more mobility and a bit more open terrain, although the canopy still blocked a large portion of the sunlight. Only a few rays managed to penetrate the foliage.

While there was still quite a bit of distance between the Sith and the Jedi, Sakadi already reached for one of her lightsabers. It was best to be prepared for an ambush, since she did not believe that the acolyte would enter this forest on her own. Not after the stunt she pulled, bringing Darth Kados to their first encounter. No, the Sephi didn't want to admit it, but Kalanda wasn't stupid enough to enter the forest on her own. "Keep your eyes and ears open. I can only sense one presence and I know this one. And I doubt she's alone." she conveyed solely to Omnis, without looking back, as she went straight for the source of the darkness.

After a short walk, her gaze fell upon a single person. She stood in the middle of the forest, her black cloak flapping as a gust of wind swept over the lone figure. Sakadi stopped approximately 18 meters away from the figure, her grip tightening around her still extinguished lightsaber.

"Kalanda... It's a pleasure to see you again" the Knightess conveyed to any who stood open for it. She made no effort to hide the dripping sarcasm in her words, as she calmly stared down her opponent. The Sephi was ready to react, ready to respond to any type of movement or sudden spike of Force energy, fully aware that their 'conversation' could erupt in a full scale battle in a moment's notice.

@Insalius @Algarus @christhebarker

 

[Omnis Waszylla]

Omnis nodded at the Jedi Knight's words, drawing his blaster while keeping his other hand still in his pocket with the thermal detonator. He'd grown up on Coruscant during the height of the Sith Empire, had been slated to go to the Sith Academy had he not chosen to stay with his family instead. He still had friends who went and he'd learned much from them. They'd even taught him most of his lightsaber knowledge to help with the various performances he put on, his current Master having finished that training not long ago. For a moment he considered how different his life would be had he gone with his friends, though now was not the time for reminiscing. They were in danger, from at least one and most likely two Sith.

The Padawan would keep his senses peeled for anything that could be a surprise, the Force still prepared as his eyes flitted around not only at the trees around them but up at their branches, too. He knew in large part the tactics of a Sith, so he knew that they could strike from places most people wouldn't think of. His finger was on the trigger and ready to aim while his other hand was ready to press the activator on his other armament. His most important goal was to keep an eye on Sakadi's back, so she wasn't caught unaware by a pincer attack. The likely move of their enemy, and thus it only had a moderate chance of being the actual tactic. He wouldn't assume these Sith to be stupid or stereotypical. Assuming facts about your enemy was how one got killed. Suffice to say, he was as on guard for sudden attacks or to respond to said attacks at a moment's notice, reflexes firing on all cylindars.

@Powerfulhorus @Algarus @christhebarker

 

[Kalanda Tishire]

Kalanda's eyes widened as she caught sight of two figures moving towards her. She tightened her grip, her facial features melting into a scowl. Sakadi. This woman had a very special place in Kalanda's heart, a vile witch if there was one, ruining the one chance she had to impress her master. It was all this woman's fault. Flexing her fingers, Kalanda kept her guard up, feeling out for any sort of trickery the two might try to pull. Kalanda didn't move closer, staying right where she was. The knight moved forward, coming to a halt about 18 meters away from the Sith. When Kados had told her to expect anything, Kalanda hadn't expected her.

As the knights words entered her mind, it was rather clear that the witch was being sarcastic; they didn't like each other, if that wasn't obvious. With her saber still in hand, not ignited yet, Kalanda stared the woman down, keeping the fury that the woman brought out of her in check. "Sadly I can't say the same, Sakadi." Kalanda glanced towards the padawan with the woman, her senses not leaving the battlefield that was soon about to break out around them. She was expecting this to be a ruse, after all they were here for a reason. "I'll give you a chance here Sakadi, turn your scandalous rear around right this moment, I'll forget I saw your wretched schuta hide." Kalanda was lying of course, she would have told Mid all about how she scared the jedi knight out of a fight. That most likely wasn't going to happen of course. Kalanda tightened her stance, shoulder length apart, standing her ground, ready for the two jedi to start a fight.

@christhebarker @Powerfullhorus @Insalius

 

[Zarya]

Zarya watched silence as she saw the knight and the padawan walk past her tree, observing see noticed they were they're alert they probably figured that Kalanda wasn't alone but that didn't ruin her plan as she still had an element of surprise on her side, but she had decided to have some fun with the jedi.

Zarya stopped hiding her presence in the force, now the jedi would be made aware of her presence but not her location, and with that state affair she would play with jedi, she began to break small branch in the trees and on the ground out of view of the Jedi randomly sometimes ones on the floor using the force, after doing for a bit of time she jumped down from the tree she was hiding in, her descent and landing would be out of view of jedi because of the tree.

after landing she pulled out her saberstaff and a throwing knife, pushed herself againest the tree while gather force around her, she ready to spring out once the fight started

@Powerfullhorus @Insalius @Algarus

 

[Sakadi Marathi Sinvala]

As she stared down the familiar Sith in front of her, a second presence revealed itself. Dark, cold and while the Sith it originated from was definitely close by, the Knightess found herself unable to determine the exact location. It would take time, effort and concentration, but the Knightess only had eyes for Kalanda right now. She was certain that she could handle this opponent, but she would not have overconfidence lead to a possible downfall. No, her duel against Darth Kados had learned her that much. Plus, this was his apprentice. If someone would be up to foul play in this battle, it would be her.

She listened only partially listened to Kalanda, as she instead took the small window of opportunity to relay another private telepathic message to her ally behind her.

"I'll handle her. Keep the second one occupied."

She paid the twigs breaking beside her no mind, as she allowed Kalanda's insults to flood over her. Only after the Sith was done, Sakadi would respond. The Knightess cocked her head to the side, as she elegantly stretched her arm out in front of her, studying her own lavender colored skin. "Wretched schuta hide?" she repeated, questioning the words of the Sith. Sakadi slowly advanced forward, as if she were strolling through the woods on a normal midday. She casually ignited the white lightsaber she held in her right hand, her gaze shifting back from her purple skin to Kalanda. "I have quite a silky skin, especially compared to yours. I mean, what did you do with it? Paint it or something?" she conveyed in a mocking tone. The Sephi was fully aware that Dun Möch, was a technique mostly practiced by Sith, but she somehow needed to grab Kalanda's attention, so that Omnis could deal with the other Sith.

In a fraction of a second after her exclamation, Sakadi suddenly jerked her outstretched hand back towards her, as she called upon the Force to pull at Kalanda's midriff, jerking the woman in her direction. While there was still at least a good 13 meters between them, her sudden pull if uninterrupted would certainly unbalance the Acolyte. Her pull was not that powerful, as it was just meant to temporarily stagger the Sith. If the pull would have its intended effect, Sakadi would quickly follow up with a powerful push, intended to throw Kalanda back. She wanted her duel with the woman to be private and uninterrupted, without a certain Sith ready to ambush her. Therefore, if the push would throw Kalanda back, the Knightess would rapidly advance forward to close the distance again, moving their fight away from Omnis and Zarya.

@Insalius @Algarus @christhebarker

 

[Omnis Waszylla]

Omnis could feel the second presence appear in the Force, though he couldn't tell exactly where it was. It DID fuel his confidence in knowledge of Sith tactics, though, although this only made him more wary. He began to hear snapping twigs and other such things, though he doubted that his enemy would be so careless as to make such noises while moving and trying to stay stealthy. Those would be attempts to distract, to make him THINK that the Sith was making these mistakes. He wasn't the kind of person to be conceited and think his enemy was beneath him in skill or anything like that. He respected the talents of his foe, determined not to underestimate him. After all, it very well could have been him on the other side, had his life gone down a different path.

The Waszylla would continue his vigil where he was, having his partner's back while being cautious for any surprise attack. He had his blaster ready, grip tight so that it couldn't be pulled from his hand, while his other was still in his coat wrapped around his detonator. He kept the Force at the ready to use in case he needed a boost or to resist an attack, his natural senses and experience focused on the more mundane around him. It was almost like he was trying to stay in the open as a target himself, mainly because his assumed role was the backup for the more powerful Knight. If fighting was going to break out soon, she would need as much concentration as she could get.

@Powerfullhorus @Algarus @christhebarker

 

[Kalanda Tishire]

Kalanda's jaw literally dropped, as those words left Sakadi's mind. There was no way Mid told her. No way. He wouldn't have. HE PROMISED HER HE WOULDN'T. Kalanda was beginning utter the words "YOU BITCH!", when she felt Sakadi's pull upon her; oh it was on now. Kalanda was sent forwards, but she went with the fall, rolling into a roll, just as the force push flew over her head. Landing, Kalanda reached out towards Sakadi and attempted to throw her off to her right, deeper into the woods as well. Wanting to separate the two and take care of the knight on her own; igniting her blade in the process. Sakadi would be throw about three meters, hopefully striking a tree in the process, and Kalanda would set herself upon the knight like a viscous animal.

Kalanda would take off toward Sakadi, as she would move forward, as the two women would branch off from their partners; about 7 meters away now. There was a deep seated fury flowing through Kalanda's veins, and she was drawing on every ounce of it to drive into the jedi knight before her. Hopefully Zarya would understand that this was a fight between the two women and stay out of it. If Sakadi was still recovering from the push, Kalanda would let loose a torrent of lighting from her free hand, her saber held tightly in her right. If Sakadi was ready however, Kalanda stop at roughly three meters away from the woman, taking a stance that Sakadi would recognize as being that of Juyo.
@Powerfullhorus @christhebarker @Insalius

 

[Zarya]

With the sound of the igniting of lightsaber Zarya smiled to herself, she knew it was time, there was no going back now. whatever was between kalanda and te jedi seemed to have reached boiling point. she would let them work that out between the two of them.

Stepping out from behind her tree, she ignited a single blade of her own saberstaff and threw her throwing the knife at the padawan, and began approaching the man

"my you're a handsome one, shame that I might have to put a scar that pretty face" she taunted him approaching the man ready to deflect any blaster bolt that might come at her and still holding on to the gathered forced around her, ready to use if she needed it,
@Powerfullhorus @Insalius @Algarus

 

[Sakadi Marathi Sinvala]

The moment Sakadi saw Kalanda move, she threw her force push. But instead of her stagger working as intended, the Acolyte rolled, therefore dodging her force push. As the Knightess was about to make another snarky comment, Kalanda suddenly reached out.

When she felt the sudden telekinetic grasp on her body, the Sephi didn't panic. She had fought far too many battles to be phased, overwhelmed or put at a disadvantage by a simple telekinetic attack. She swiftly performed a small jump and braced herself, as she allowed the force energy to carry her three meters to the right. Her landing was subtle as she kept her balance by taking a wide stance. With her right foot forward she held her lightsaber in front of her, slightly angled to give her both the option to intercept Kalanda's blade or launch an attack of her own.

Kalanda had taken a Juyo stance, 3 meters away from the Sephi. She held her lightsaber high above her head, in a position which would force her to first move the entirety of her right arm, if she wanted to actually strike the Sephi. Both of them carried light armor, but Sakadi could tell that Kalanda was slightly taller and heavier than her. Plus, the Sephi always had an emphasis on speed in her fighting style.

Within the blink of an eye, the Knightess bursted into motion. Using the Force to invigorate her body, she rapidly took two steps forward, her movement ending in a makashi-like lunge aimed at Kalanda's free hand at abdomen. If Kalanda's saber would come down on her, she would have more than enough time and space to quickly intercept the blade with a quick flick of her wrist. The same applied to the Acolyte possibly evading to the left or right. With her free hand, which now rested near her hip as she lunged, Sakadi grabbed her blaster pistol and in one swift motion fired a shot aimed at Kalanda's unprotected head.

@Algarus @christhebarker @Insalius

 

[Omnis Waszylla]

Omnis trusted in his partner, so when they started to fight he didn't try to intervene. Her request to that end also helped determine that decision. As expected, the other Sith had been hiding, something he had been on the lookout and preparing for. Even with that, though, as he turned while she was activating her lightsaber he dodged to the side just enough to dodge most of the knife. It still grazed his cheek, though, causing some blood to flow from the cut. Taking his hand out of his pocket without the grenade to touch at the crimson streak, the Padawan gave a wry smile as he heard the knife clatter to the forest floor behind him, falling between some roots and out of sight. "Eh, not the first time, won't be the last. Nice throw, though." His tone was genuine, the young man always sincere. He took out his stun rod to use as his own melee option, holstering his blaster securely as he gathered the Force around himself to prepare for it's use as well. Shooting her now would be foolish as she was most likely expecting such an attack, though he didn't take his eyes off her as he moved. Even though she wouldn't care, he'd make this a fair fight. "I had friends go to the Academy a while ago, tell me some things they learned. Gotta admit, this is the first time going against a full trained Acolyte. I'm curious if the stories I heard are true." He'd be jovial, even in the face of danger.

@Algarus @christhebarker @Powerfullhorus

 

[Kalanda Tishire]

Kalanda kept up with Sakadi, as she followed by stepping onto her back foot, her hand moved to be against her side, as she would side step the failed thrust; shifting towards her left side, leaning with her body as she was ready to go into a short leap. By the time Sakadi had draw the blaster and shot, Kalanda would have already moved where her head had been, causing the blast to sail over her shoulder, though it had come close. Her left hand would remain by her exposed side, ready to knock the blade away if Sakadi attempted to the blade inward to adjust her strike, it the woman had time to react in the split seconds it took for Kalanda to do this. Kalanda continued to move in synch with Sakadi, as she would to the knight's side, right side. With her right hand she would angle her blade and bring it down in a clockwise sweep down over the the top of Sakadi's saber hilt, aiming to cut the top of the blade off, and disarm Sakadi in the process as the acolyte passed by her. The knight would have been too busy with the thrust to stop the disarming slash to her hilt, and her own saber would be in the path of the blaster once Sakadi had drawn it.

Now having distanced herself from Sakadi and hopefully leaving her foe without a lightsaber. Kalanda would have made another gap between herself and Sakadi, as Kalanda would begin to tap back into the force, preparing to go on the attack if the knight turned back to face her; the acolyte taking up the stance that Sakadi would recognize as Makashi.

@Powerfullhorus @Insalius @christhebarker

 

[Zarya]

"Thank you, I've been practicing." Zarya jested back, it hadn't faced a jedi sometime since the attack on Corellia where they revealed themselves to sith but this was far less serious than previous one. "why? curious in the powers of the Darkside, if you are I can teach you" with a smirk across her face.

she began to circle around the jedi maybe 10 meters or so away from him, "so what's your name? I'm Zarya" she asked but before he could answer she would charge the jedi, slash at the jedi with a right to left cut down his chest. A simple attack but she was determined to test the skill of the jedi. so she would start off with the basics she didn't what overwhelm him right now.
@Powerfullhorus @Insalius @Algarus

 

[Sakadi Marathi Sinvala]

A little surprised that Kalanda managed to keep up with her, Sakadi immediately moved from offense to defense. While she had made sure not to overextend, she had still made use of what little reach she had as best as she could. It gave her a small window to respond to Kalanda's counter movement, as she heavily relied on her instinct and force enhancement to respond in time to the swing.

Bending and raising her lightsaber holding arm a little, she pulled her own weapon back just enough to catch Kalanda's blade, who's slash targeted the top of her hilt. The movement and effort she had to make to counter the slash was minimal and she didn't have to fear for her fingers either, as her own phrik glove covered her hand. Neither did she fear that Kalanda could swat her blade aside, since she intercepted Kalanda's blade near the emitter of her white lightsaber, exactly a part she'd be able to keep stable regardless of what Kalanda would pull with her free hand.

Wasting no time, Sakadi would take another step forward after her failed lunge and spun to directly face Kalanda as the Acolyte attempted to pass by her, on Sakadi's right side. With her own white blade still horizontally between them and having temporarily caught Kalanda's blade, she angled the blade of her lightsaber to make an horizontal swing from left to right, keeping her hilt and arm still in place as only the blade would move. Aware that the magnetism between their lightsabers would not allow Kalanda to prevent the middle and top of her blade from slashing straight through the Acolyte's midriff, Sakadi knew that she could still effectively counter with her still free hand. To prevent her from acting against the swing, however, Sakadi fired another blaster bolt at the abdomen of the acolyte simultaneous with her angling the blade, able to do so because she now held the pistol below her own raised lightsaber, still close to her left hip.

If Kalanda would still manage to create distance between them, Sakadi would make sure not to drop her guard for even a second, holstering her blaster and changing to a open Niman stance, blade pointed at the woman.

"I must admit, I did expect way more of an apprentice to Darth Kados." she would convey, again attempting to provoke Kalanda.

@Insalius @Algarus rus @christhebarker

 

[Omnis Waszylla]

Omnis wasn't a fool, he just played on on stage sometimes. He wouldn't underestimate his opponent even as he respected said opponent, so he knew to expect a sudden attack. Ten meters was a fair distance for one to travel to strike, so it was a simple matter to bring up his stun rod to prepare for his counter before she had closed the distance. It already being in his left hand and him facing the Sith also assured his preparedness. He'd already gathered the Force to himself, keeping it ready to use, so that was another of his plans for his counter accounted for. He'd been in plenty of combat with others and knew how to fight with a lightsaber, even if he didn't have one yet. Perhaps it was BECAUSE he didn't have one that his preferred tactic was more likely to succeed. When Zarya made her slash, he was prepared.

When she committed to the attack, the slash traveling from diagonally from Omnis' left shoulder down towards the right which would have been from right to left for Zarya, the Padawan stepped to his right and brought up both hands. With his left he parried the lightsaber with his phrik-coated stun rod, not to stop the blade but instead to push it down further along it's trajectory as he was no longer where the slash was landing. His right hand, which looked like he was simply holding it up for balance for his dodge, discharged the gathered Force into a single bright burst of Force Flash, within arm's length of Zarya's face and eyes. Knowing when he was going to use the burst he closed his eyes for the moment of the burst, preventing him from blinding himself. As the Sith should have been paying attention to her strike, she should have seen everything from the dodge, to the parry, to the blinding flash.

Omnis wasn't done yet, though. As his weapon wasn't a lightsaber, it wouldn't be locked with the Sith's blade though it would be able to push it without being cut, thanks to the phrik coating. In less than a second he slid the stun rod up the blade of the saber to the hilt and Zarya's hand, just after he had used the flash and when she should be dealing with the aftereffects. He triggered the stun as the weapon met with the hilt and hand, which should deliver a strong enough stun either with direct contact or traveling through the metal of the lightsaber hilt to render the hand useless. The weapon should drop to the ground from a hand unable to hold it. From the dodge, parry, and flash, happening at the same time, to the slide and stun, at most a second would pass considering how close both combatants were to each other. Still, Omnis would keep himself vigilant for sudden attacks, as well as to keep the force prepared to use as the Force Flash had only taken a moment's active usage. Hopefully being disarmed and disoriented would have his opponent ready to surrender.

@Algarus @christhebarker @Powerfullhorus

 

[Kalanda Tishire]

Sakadi was fast, she had to give the woman that much credit; but that was the only nice thing Kalanda could muster. Seeing as how the jedi was pressing the attack, Kalanda needed to come up with a defense and fast. As she moved past Sakadi, the woman had reacted and parried her strike, though her concern was held by the fact Sakadi had just fired at her, and her force senses flared with warning as that blaster was still in play, but dat saber strike though... With very little time, Kalanda used her free hand, and with a quick jerking motion she would knock the woman's wrist to the left just as Sakadi was to pull the trigger; only haven gained a few moments as the woman had to overcome the recoil of her last shot. She would loosen her grip on her saber, as it would swing forward, only for her to catch it with a reverse grip and clamp on tightly as it made contact. She had just narrowly pulled her blade back to intercept Sakadi's as Kalanda was still in the act of moving away; her blade just serving as a stall for the strike as she would only just delay it from impacting by the time she had put distance between herself and Sakadi. Her only saving grace with that she was still horizontal to Sakadi, the shot would have slammed into her armored side rather than her abdomen, but with the minor adjustment the shot would again sail by, grazing the breastplate of her armor in the process. This was getting dangerous now, she had barely prevented that from landing.

As her feet touched the ground, Kalanda's body would immediately shift to a Makashi pose as she reversed the grip she held, not dropping her guard either. Using that force energy she had built up, she would now channel it into herself in order to match Sakadi; she needed to get off the defensive if she wanted to win. Her left hand would remain with her palm facing inward, her saber gesturing towards Sakadi. Neither of them could keep this sort of effort going for too much longer, so this was going to have to be wrapped up quick. It was becoming clear now that Sakadi was just egging her on, and while Kalanda was still angry, she wasn't going to give that witch across the way any more satisfaction. "I've heard enough from the whore of the order!" She proclaimed, though in hindsight she realized it was probably a poor insult, but that's what came to her mind at the time. The important thing was, she wasn't going to let Sakadi get to her. Kalanda would have to await Sakadi to make the next move, as she would keep herself ready. That saber was aimed towards her, and knowing Sakadi, she was probably going to go on the offensive. How very jedi of her. But there was an opening that she had just noticed in Sakadi's defense, and the moment the woman would strike, Kalanda would make her move.
