Battle for Tython II: The Great Forest

[Zarya]

Zarya charged forward and followed through with her slash, when he dodged to her left and parried her blade she had surprise in store for him, she activated her second blade on her hilt and used the point contact with his baton as a pivot and stepped forward, pushing the second blade into the Padawan right armpit/upper ribs , ignore the mans arm and continuing to step through with the attack when he blinded her with force flash.

[Omnis Waszylla]

As the Force Flash was not defended against, Zarya would be blinded by the bright light in that instant. Omnis would see the sprung second blade, which would take a second to fully extend, and feel the pivot using his own stun rod at the same time. Saberstaffs required a bit more than a normal lightsaber to pivot and strike, a wider arc because of their length, so Omnis didn't have much time to counter this strike. He did the only thing he could think of, pull his stun rod back and take a step back out of the path of the lightsaber. He would let the woman push through with her attack, thinking she would be hitting him but being unable to see otherwise. Even with the step back, though, he would feel a burning pain across his chest as he was licked by the end of her lightsaber. That would leave a scar, though it was about the same pain as a graze from a blaster, something he'd powered through before to keep up the good fight. Once the danger was passed he would step forward again, both steps taking less than a second, and strike at the back of Zarya's head with his stun rod. Blind, she wouldn't be able to see to dodge the strike and her forward momentum, having put her strength into the slash to compensate for the blindness, would make it difficult to dodge. Omnis kept the Force gathered around him and still was on alert to defend against any sudden changes, though the hit to the head with the stun rod should knock his opponent out and end her threat.

[Sakadi Marathi Sinvala]

Sakadi kept her blade pointed at Kalanda, even as the latter started to grin. Her insult did not phase the Knightess at all. She had heard much worse during her youth and this was almost laughable compared to that. She started to circle around Kalanda as her physical augmentation of the Force faded away, taking a brief moment to center herself again. It was important to sparingly use her energy, especially considering how long this duel could last. Her eyes shifted to the mark her blaster left on Kalanda's armor.

"That was your final warning. Surrender now, or suffer the consequences." Sakadi stated. Her attack had been an extremely close call, one that showed her to be the superior duelist. If this battle would've been one of Force powers alone, she wouldn't be half as confident.

As she made wider circles around Kalanda to increase the distance between them again, Sakadi glanced at Omnis. He didn't seem like he needed help; seeing how he completely overwhelmed the Sith he fought against.

Now having increased the distance to a good 5 to 6 meters between them, Sakadi did the unexpected. With the press of a button, she extinguished her saber and dropped her guard. She still held her thumb on the switch of her weapon, ready to ignited it at any moment. With a flick of her wrist, she could bring her guard up again, but she would keep Kalanda guessing as to what exactly her range was. In a way, her current approach was even more dangerous than her actual guard had been.

Still fully aware and prepared to counter, Sakadi continued talking. "You know, I never understood why you are part of the Sith order. Your talents are wasted on the Dark side." she kept her focus tightly on the Acolyte. With the distance between them, she was sure she'd be able to counter any saber strike Kalanda threw at her.

[Kalanda Tishire]

Kalanda scoffed as the woman before her invaded her mind. She let the power she had just activated go, seeing that Sakadi shut her lightsaber off. Kalanda did the same, it was clear Sakadi was a better duelist than her. The Sith kept her senses open, as her companion was still fighting against. She still keep herself tapped into the force, keeping that power there in case Sakadi tried anything.

Sakadi had widened the gap between them, but Kalanda didn't lower her guard. Sakadi was just bidding her time, she knew that her ally was going to finish off Kalanda's soon; and there was no way Kalanda could face both of the jedi and win at the moment, Sakadi was taking her full focus as is. Then Sakadi struck a never once again, as those final words rattled around in Kalanda's skull, something in her just...broke. Why was everyone telling her that? Clearly Sakadi was screwing with her, trying to get into her head, and damn her it was working. Was it that obvious? Was it that apparent how much she failed as a Sith? No, Sakadi didn't care about her, no one did. They were just trying to screw with her, just like everyone else. She wasn't going to let that go. Kalanda went into a frenzy, as she let out with both hands, aiming a torrent of lightning towards Sakadi. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" She screamed, as arcs of lightning shot towards the jedi knight. It would move too fast for her lightsaber to deflect it all, if anything the lightning would impact the jedi knight unless she brought up a barrier to halt it. Though right before it would strike, Kalanda relented, pulling back on how much power was being directed to the jedi. Kalanda wouldn't keep up the torrent if it missed or if Sakadi had stopped it. She would take account of her environment, planning to withdraw if her companion failed to overcome her foe. She would lock eyes with Sakadi, glaring at the woman for what she had said to her.

[Zarya]

As the arc of her swing finished, she took her left hand of her saberstaff and raised it, about to do a use a force push from the force she had gathered early to make some distance between so she could recover from the flash but before she could, she felt his stun baton impact her face.

her entire body immediately went numb as she began to collapse like a sack of Jogan fruit, she dropped her saberstaff, deactivating as it left her hand and clattering to the floor, the world was quickly fading to black as she lay there looking up at the man in front of her, she wanted to curse him but before she could she lost consciousness.

[Omnis Waszylla]

"I'm Omnis. Nice to meet you, Zarya." Omnis finally returned the greeting, now that his opponent was subdued by his stun rod. He made sure to take her lightsaber after deactivating it, though not to keep, and after making sure she was well and truly out he started to make his way over to where his partner was fighting her own opponent. He wouldn't interfere with the fight, but was ready to jump in if she asked. He remembered her mental request earlier. "I've knocked out the other Sith. Do you have this? I'm here if you need me." He would speak from a fair distance away, still keeping the Force at the ready in case he was attacked but otherwise just being an observer to the rest of this fight. Once this was done he would take the Sith Acolyte prisoner. Maybe he could try to redeem her, show her that darkness wasn't the only path.

[Sakadi Marathi Sinvala]

Despite the small time frame she had been given to actually counter the incoming attack, she was ready. While she had expected another clash of lightsabers, she instead found herself in the trajectory of a torrent of Force Lightning. She wouldn't be able to evade it in time and she didn't want to try it either. From what she had read and the injuries she had seen, Force Lightning was no joke.

The instant Kalanda moved her hands to shoot the lightning, Sakadi ignited her lightsaber and brought it up to guard the majority of her upper body. It would, however, not be enough to completely negate the wild, crackling torrents of lightning that came her way. Forced on her back foot, Sakadi brought her left hand up, summoning the force to quickly absorb what torrents managed to get past her blade. Even that didn't stop the attack entirely though; as she felt jolts of pain shooting through her body as a small amount of lightning connected. It wouldn't be enough to take her down by far, but she still gritted her teeth. Not just that, but it temporarily made the Knightess look away from her opponent.

[Kalanda Tishire]

Kalanda felt her lightning make impact, and ceased the attack, her senses having told her that her companion had fallen. Damn it Zarya, you are worthless. She thought bitterly, as she was now outnumbered. The damn Zabrak couldn't fend off a padawan? Ugh. Seeing that she was outnumbered, Kalanda was forced to retreat, much to her shame. She could have taken Sakadi, if just had a little more time she would have done it. They had lost their holding here, she could only hope that Mid had survived his fight, that maybe they could keep their hold over this world. She wasn't going to let this go. No. She was going to get back at Sakadi for this insult, for what she had done this day. It was only a matter of time. But as for right now, she needed to let Mid know. Maybe they could come back and try to claim this together. As Kalanda withdrew deeper into the woods, she only lamented her failing, she couldn't face Mid like this.
