Teriza's Legacy / Certh

[Teriza Gore]

"Yes, master i'll try." Teriza put his hand to his foot and thought of walking normal, running, moving around his legs. All of a sudden the twisted bone inside his foot started moving back into place and the figure of his foot was normal again. Teriza put a little force into his back and he then threw his back up. Which with force in it made him go higher to land on compelety on his feet. He ran around for a while testing if it was okay. when he finished he then asked "What now master?"

 

[Certh]

"Good, now I will teach you Psychometry."

Certh then bent down and picked up a stick.

"I want you to feel this stick, and try to find out who touched it last."

 

[Teriza Gore]

"Yes master" Teriza put his hand out to grab the stick while thinking about it. When he got his first touch two things flickered in his mind, his master, and what it seems like a bird. "I see you, and a bird."

 

[Certh]

"Hm, that's it, you got it. First try as well.."

Certh was excited that he taught his padawan yet another skill.

"The next skill we will be learning is telepathy."

Certh then speaks to his padawan via telepathy. He puts the stick down then begins to talk.

'Young padawan, can you hear me? If so, nod your head because I don't want you to break your concentration.'

Certh then pulls his robe back, revealling his lightsaber. The sleek shine that came off it when the bright yellow sun hit it.

 

[Teriza Gore]

Teriza jumped when he heard the voice in his head. Teriza thinking he doesn't have to nod because he think he just answered by jumping. Teriza started speaking in his mind "um hi can you hear me?"

 

[Certh]

'yes I can hear you'

"Good, good my young padawan. Now you will need to practice that on your own time, you have a grasp of it now. Now we will learn a force ability called precognition."

Certh grins

"This ability is most important to a jedi, it shows them what will happen next in battle, or in a dream. But come, we must go back into the training room for this."

Certh then guides his padawan back toward the enclave.

 

[Teriza Gore]

Teriza followed his Master into the Enclave, training room. "So were do we start?"

 

[Certh]

"Here"

Certh says as a few droids came to life as they began floating in the air.

"Grab that training lightsaber over there"

*Activate droid GH-46 training droid*
*Lock onto primary target: Certh*

The droid then began firing some blaster shots at Certh, he deflected them with his lightsaber smoothly, like he was spreading butter on toast.

*Disengage primary target*

"Now it's your turn padawan, are you ready?"

*Engage Primary Target: Teriza Gore*

 

[Teriza Gore]

"Yes master" When he heard the shots fired Teriza ran for the training light saber and grabbed it. When his master asked him if he was ready he turned on the saber for the sign yes. Teriza laughed when the shots started shooting at him. There was two shots close to him so he did a front flip hitting them in the air. Whiling landing he striked down hitting another one. Teriza then turned his saber in sense of the force. A shot nearly hitting him but the very bottom of the saber blocking it.

 

[Certh]

"Good, good."

Certh pushed a button, shutting off the droids.

"Now, you are skilled enough in the arts of the force, but how good are you with lightsaber combat?"

 

[Teriza Gore]

Teriza turned off the training lightsaber and answered his masters question. "I dont know master. Maybe I'm really good?"

 

[Certh]

"Well, lets begin with the beginning of lightsaber combat, Shii-Cho. I'm sure that you have learned a little bit about this form, but just to make sure, lets go over it again. Shii-Cho is one of the simplest forms of lightsaber combat taught. You were probably taught it as a youngling. First we will see if you can deflect blaster bolts, and after that, we can move on."

Certh then passed his padawan a training helmet.

"I want you to wear that, becuase you can't see where the bolts will be fired, you will need to sense it, and try to deflect it. Don't worry if you don't deflect it, if one of the blaster bolts hit you, it will just sting a bit, but not much. Are you ready?"

 

[Teriza Gore]

Teriza puts the helmet on. Teriza looked around trying to see. "I guess im ready." When the the bullets started coming. Teriza wasn't paying attettion he got shot twice in the back. Teriza winnsed in shock. When more came Teriza was prepared blocking the rest and missed only one after that.

 

[Certh]

"Good, good.. Now, try blocking multiple fire with one swipe"

*Activate Multiple Fire*

 

[Teriza Gore]

"Yes master." Teriza then sensed five shots coming close together. Teriza then waited for the right moment and swong in a vertical derrection. Teriza waited for the stinging to come but it never did. "Master i did it!"

 

[Certh]

"Yes yes, well done my young padawan."

Certh said as he deactivated the droid.

"Now, there are 7 forms of lightsaber combat, but I don't want you to learn Juyo because it can lead to a path of hatred and lies, which lead to the dark side. The 6 forms are Shii-Cho, Makashi, Soresu, Ataru, Djem-So/Shien, and Niman. I will introduce you to all of these 6 forms if you wish."

 

[Teriza Gore]

Teriza wanted juyo, becuase no other padawan would no except him and that would give him mor responibilty which Teriza loved. "Yes master and if there is a chance of knowing juyo please tell me I request it for responibilty not hatred, or anything else i can controll myself."

 

[Certh]

Certh thought to himself

'I don't know if it would be a good idea to teach Teriza Juyo, it turns hate into power.. and he's still too young.'

"No, I'm sorry.. But in a few years I'll teach you it. But right now your mind is clouded, and your young. It's not a good time to teach you a form which could lead to the dark side."

Certh had a stern look upon his face, he seemed to be acting as a father figure to Teriza.

"Please choose another form"

 

[Teriza Gore]

Teriza bit his lip. He then thought becuase im to young, i thought they like to recruit the young ones. But now they take my age for concern. "I'd like information on them.

 

[Certh]

Certh, still having the stern look upon his face, begins to tell his padawan info on the other 6 forms.

"The first is Form I: Shii-Cho, known as the Determination Form and the Way of the Sarlacc. You already know elements of this form, as all younglings and padawans do. It is very basic, but it is its simplicity that makes it effective all the same."

"The second is Form II: Makashi, known as the Contention Form and the Way of the Ysalamiri. Makashi is easily summed up as a lightsaber dueling form. It is an excellent form to use against other Jedi or sword wielding opponents, and allows you to attack and defend with minimal effort. However, it is less effective against blasters, or when dueling more than one foe. For Form II: Makashi, elegance and finesse is the key."

"The third is Form III: Soresu, known as the Resilience Form and the Way of the Mynock. Form III: Soresu is something like a double-edged sword. It's greatest strength is also it's greatest weakness - Soresu is almost dominantly focused on defense. Masters of Soresu are known for having unbreakable defenses, but also for it's lack of offensive moves. Though effective against blades, Soresu is specially designed against deflecting blasters. The key to Form III: Soresu is survival rather than victory.

"The fourth is Form IV: Ataru, known as the Aggression Form and the Way of the Hawk-Bat. True to it's name, Ataru is the polar opposite form against Soresu. Aggressive, fast-paced, and excellent in close-quarters combat, Ataru requires stamina and erratic acrobatic movements. For From IV: Ataru, agility is the key."

"The fifth is Form V: Shien/Djem So, known as the Perseverance and the Way of the Krayt Dragon. Form V: Shien/Djem So is my preferred Form. Unlike the other forms of the Jedi, Form V has two variants. Form V was created by ancient Jedi who were practitioners of Form III: Soresu, but felt it was too passive. Shein is the variant for blaster-wielding opponents, Djem So is for sword-wielding opponents. Both forms focus on not only defending, but also counter-attacking. Shien is less effective against single opponents, and Djem So doesn't have the same mobility of the other forms, but with skill, the user can overcome these weaknesses. The key to From V: Shien/Djem So is raw power."

"The sixth is Form VI: Niman, known as the Moderation Form and the Way of the Rancor. Niman is, what I call, the greater Shii-Cho. For the most part, Form VI: Niman takes the philosophies of Shii-Cho further - it takes elements of From I through Form V and balances it into a 'jack-of-all-trades' style. Consequently, Niman has neither any strengths nor any weaknesses. However, Niman opens the door to the exotic style of wielding two lightsabers: Jar'Kai. For From VI: Niman, balance is the key."

"The seventh and final is Form VII: Juyo, known as the Ferocity Form and the Way of the Vornskr. Mentally, Juyo is the most demanding of all seven forms. I would get into the specifics, but to a padawan, Juyo can be dangerous, so as I've told you before, I will not let you learn this form."
