Simple Advancement by Hybridization

[The Kyzer]

Stealing my own move, Von mentally noted as the rifle turned down toward her. It opened fire almost immediately, but Von was prepared. Her skills in Force Deflection were extensive, but she didn't want to push things by diverting the bullets back towards Loogo. At least, not yet.

Instead, Von created a bubble that formed around her limbs. So, she began to sidestep, duck, and weave in a strange dance to throw off the majority of shots, while slightly deflecting those that would make contact. Her lightsaber buzzed through the humid air along with her dance, and every once in a while, it ate up a rubber bullet or two.

But it was too late for Von to react when she noticed Loogo was practically on-top of her. The disc-blade had come down and was in the process of diverting her lightsaber, and Von found herself in quite the predicament. A massive serpentine humanoid was attacking her, and was apparently going to engage her in a CQC-manner.

Frak, Von thought as the Sluissi came at her.

She had two plans of attack. If he kept coming and tried to rush her, Von would roll to one side to avoid being pinned while establishing a grip with her left hand, with the right still holding the lightsaber (though she may need to shut it off if it endangered either of them. If he stopped or slowed, Von would attack with her left hand: an in-step shoulder block coupled with an elbow, followed by a powerful blast of telekinesis originating from her points of contact with Loogo.

 

[Fang.]

Fang smirked and was impressed as Bora quickly threw his lightsaber back at him and just over his shoulder, and was moreso as Bora quickly stepped out of the range of Fang's sweep. As Fang was turning, he saw That Bora was now on the defensive, the hammer spinning infront of him, Fang smiled, that must require quite a bit of concentration to be able to keep it hovering, and spinnning, without travelling in the direction of rotation. He had taken up the defensive, and Fang had no problem taking up the offensive.

Fang felt his lightsaber coming for him, being controlled by Bora, and extended an arm and caught the lightsaber in his open hand as he completed the turn. Simoltaniously, Fang called upon the force channelling its energy through himself, into a powerfull heat, and expelling out of his outstretched arm towards the hammer. A ferocious cone of fire shot forth into the spinning hammer. Fang of course though, did not intend for any of the flames to get through as the spinning hammer turned the continual cone into a upright circle. No, it was to blind and distract Bora, and possibly to make it very painfull for him to grab the hilt of the hammer again, depending on how heat conductive the hammer was. With his other hand Fang made a simple motion, and four of his throwing knives flew out from Fang's robes, two went to his left, and two to his right, with the Force, Fang directed them around the hammer, and towards Bora's sides, one to each thigh, and and the other two to each side of his lower body. Fang angled the two going towards the lower body so that if Bora did not block them, the would leave painful cuts. but would not puncture any organs. As for the ones to the thighs, Fang trusted that if they hit, he would not get in trouble for it as unless bora had organs in his thighs, Fang would not be breaking any rules, and the wounds would be easily healed with a few minutes of Force healing.

While Von was being distracted deflecting the rubber bullets, the Sluissi continued on. The disc blade was not comfortable in his hand, though he still tried to knock Von's lightsaber out of her hand. Being vigilant on his large tail, he pushed closer to Von, attempting to tackle her to the ground. Having his hands wide out, the disc blade was ready to strike, or parry if need be. He was hoping that Vn would lose her saber in his attack, though prepared for that not to have happened.

With his widened stance, Loogo jumped Von, getting close enough to be able to latch on to her with a hand if she tried to backstep or escape. Even if he had to thrash her down by her clothes he would do so.

 

[The Kyzer]

Thinking quickly, Von parried Loogo's discblade with her lightsaber and braced herself for the inevitable clash when Loogo and her finally made contact.

Von took the brunt of Loogo's tackle, but did not bend. Using her immense strength, Von simply wrestled standing with the Sluissi. Before he could possibly bring his tail into play, though, Von drew up the power of the Force and spread it through her body. It discharged the form of the power/ability known as the Emerald Lightning.

"Taste Electric Judgement," Von said with a smirk as every point of contact between Loogo and Von lit up with the sudden outburst of electrical energy.

 

[TheLastLine]

Bora was still trying to figure Leucien out as he flung a fireball at his warhammer, how unexpected. What was more unexpected ,however, was Leuciens naivety to think that Bora relied on his eyes when he fought. No. He saw through the force. So as the lights and sounds and heat blinded and distracted his earthly body, he saw with his real eyes the threat.

Raising his hands, a wall of mud and earth rips out of the planet and forms into something that resembles a wall, the knives are lost in the stream of material and fall to the floor.
The hammer which still spun started to spin even faster started to advance towards Leucien quickly. Watching he didn’t say or do anything apart from observe and nod quietly to himself. The hammer started to manoeuvre around Lucien and try to attack him from behind.

Bora then took the two daggers in his hand and watched on with a smile slowly creeping on his face.

The shock sent Loogo lunging backwards. His seared flesh burned as smoke rose from all around his body, there were many points of contact that had been suddenly fried. The pain was there, though it only aided to anger the large Sluissi, nearly in a frantic rage. Though he knew better than that. Where once he would have charged Von in a powerful rant, he calmed himself and used his rage to devise a new plan of attack.

The Sluissi smiled. It was an attack that he never wished to learn. His master bringing his views to Loogo that it was a power of the darkside, a power Larik had made it a point to not learn of have his Padawans learn.

In the midst of the battle, Loogo shot straight at Von, his larger mass ahead of the rest of his body in a full on charge. The smoke streams seemed to fade away with the wind as he ran, Von would not be able to see any difference. Though the truth was that Loogo was only slowly moving forward, the illusion seemed all too real. His aggressiveness was accustomed, and it would make sense he might perform such an attack.

As the illusion pressed close to Von, just as before though this time much more aggressive. It left her little to no time to react. The Sluissi would be there and see if she reacts similarly.

 

[The Kyzer]

Defensive and reactive. Von hated being the defender. Playing the part of the aggressor was much more her style. So, she formulated a quick plan to regain the momentum. The female Jedi Master could practically taste Loogo's anger. She did feel a little bad for slightly singeing him.

Either way, Von was not about to allow Loogo in that close to her a second time on his terms. So, Von did a back-flip. But not just any back-flip. Hers was a beautiful crescent through the air, peaking at around five meters in the air, and from her trajectory, she would land about fifteen meters back. However, that was not the true beauty of the acrobatic maneuver. The real trick was the sudden blast of Force energy in the form of an all-around Repulse in order to deter Loogo.

Any rational being might expect Von's attack to end there, as restraint was a virtue, and while Von did possess it, she did not always apply it. Two more heavy wave-like blasts exploded from the Zeltron-hybrid, then a sudden directed blast of telekinetic power came into being. This blast, however, sent Von rocketing through the air a great many meters.

At the top of her climb, Von looked down upon Loogo and smiled. She ignited her saber and pushed herself with the Force to land gracefully upon a sturdy tree branch.

"Getting slow in your old age, my friend?"

 

[Just Matt Now]

Loogo's illusion kept up with Von quite well. It was much easier to project an image, than to actually commit to the physical nature of her jump. Although in doing so, it had revealed the illusion was false. Though Loogo did not care, for his plan had been thwarted by Von's apparent running.

The Sluissi looked up towards the pink skinned android.

"Hehe, no, not yet. Jusst thought you were more aggressive is all."

Loogo threw the discblade at Von, the blade soared fast in her direction controlled by the Force. The attack was meant to knock her from her perch, he wanted a straight forward fight, not one in the trees.

"Now, get down here! I'm not finished with you!!"

 

[The Kyzer]

Von had to physically restrain herself from leaping at Loogo immediately after his quip regarding her aggressiveness. Instead she drew on the Force and picked up her discarded rifle using her telekinetic abilities. She pulled it back toward her with a powerful telekinetic grip just when Loogo threw the discblade. This left Von with one option. She leapt up into the air, barely skirting the flying blade while catching her rifle in one hand.

Von slung the rifle over her shoulder quickly after landing on another branch.

"Come on now, Loogo," Von replied, "I wasn't aware that Sluissi were afraid of heights. I mean, I knew you were afraid of treadmills and the cold, but this is new."

Von disengaged her lightsaber and attached it to her belt again. She quickly ejected the spent clip from her rifle by reaching behind her, and reloaded it using telekinesis. She might need it later, and didn't want it to be a worthless weight.

 

[Just Matt Now]

Still no attack. Loogo had pressured Von to do so, though was met with nothing but words. Loogo smiled at the dig about his weight, though the truth was that he was more muscular than most Sluissi, a result of his extensive training. Von had always liked to tease Loogo about it, though it didnt bother him much.

"At least it's not dead weight my dear." He said referring to Von's mechanical enhancements.

The rifle was back in Von's hand, though she hadnt fired it. Still there was no attack. Loogo gathered his will and power, using his trained ability in the Primal Force in addition to the Unified Force in order to grab onto the trunk of the tree. With both of his arms extended, Loogo grabbed it with all of his might, ripping it from it's roots. Had it been an older tree, and it's roots more dug in, the feat would have been more difficult. Though it was not, and it's roots came right out with it. His attempt to get Von from the tree had failed the first time, though it could not possibly fail this time around.

 

[The Kyzer]

Von smiled slightly at Loogo's reply, his attempt to "buzz" her. It was true. Her bone and muscle densities were extremely heavy, and she herself actually outweighed the Sluissi, despite him being physically larger than her. Then she felt a dramatic shift in the Force, and it was occurring between Loogo...and the tree she was standing on.

"Now that's just cheating," Von murmured as the tree was ripped from its root-base and lifted into the air.

Well, I can play dirty as well, Von thought as she called her lightsaber to her hand with the Force, and ignited it. She hopped off the branch she stood on, spinning as she went, and extended her lightsaber to her side. The result was her slicing the tree into multiple pieces. She landed gracefully with a light thud, only to hurl the trunk pieces with her telekinetic powers toward Loogo.

Then she unslung her rifle and began firing on full-automatic with one arm, her left to be exact. Her enhanced strength did have its perks.

"Getting slow, old chap," Von quipped as she fired.

 

[Just Matt Now]

The discblade had still been floating in the air, something Von had forgotten which was what the Sluissi had planned on from his distraction with the tree. Though he waited for the right time to bring forth his trick, Von clearly had not realized it's whereabouts. Loogo used the Force to dampen the speed of the flying tree bits, pushing them to the side to avoid being his by them.

"Ohh Von!!" He called out.

Loogo slithered towards her with a ferocious steam, his speed and quickness fully being shown as he covered the ground between them in an instant. Before she even had time to fire the rifle, Loogo used his telekinetic abilities to force the discblade to fly towards her back, her focus being solely on the charging Sluissi, she would have never expected it coming.

Loogo called his saber to his hand, the saberstaff lit up a bright blue hue, though only with one end. Loogo was prepared to lick hilts, though in an attempt to whisk both of their lightsabers away so that they could continue in a melee situation. He was less concerned with the rifle, as the time he would reach her he could redirect the bullets by grabbing onto the barrel. And hopefully the discblade would have done it's job.
