A deadly form with a deadly training

[Darth Vaildra]

Darth Valdra waited on the outdoor training grounds. Around him were many cages with beasts in them, they would be used in his training. He sat with his legs crossed and eyes closed as he meditated. His two lightsabers were put together to make a double bladed lightsaber and it was spinning above his head like the blades of a helicopter with the lightsaber ignited and spinning at a high speed. He let his mind become empty as he waited for his student. He would first teach his student how to meditate like this.

T'zanith had come back from a conquest beaten and battered but still victorious, something he believed he owed to his master as much as his own abilities. He entered the room with his arm in a cast and a few bandages around him as he wore a new acolytes robe as his previous was destroyed in the battle.
He stopped a few steps away from his master as he removed the cast and tightened that hand into a fist. 'It always amazes me what bacta can accomplish.' He thought as he threw the cast away and then stood tall and proud of his accomplishment from the battle but ready to learn more from his master and mentor. "Master I've come at your behest." He said as he picked up his lightsaber, looking over the cross guarded hilt.

Valdra's a shot into the air to grab his lightsaber and stop the spinning. His eyes shot open as he took in the appearance of his apprentice. He appeared injured, this made him wonder what his apprentice did in his free time. He did not really care, but if he does in battle, Valdra would kill him.

He deactivated his lightsaber and stood to face his apprentice. "Put your lightsaber away, you will use this one. Before you can properly fight with a lightsaber you need to understand it to the point it becomes apart of you. Meditation is key here and as you know my methods, danger is always present. You will meditate the same way you saw me, with a live spinning lightsaber ever spinning over your head. This will demand complete focus as a clear mind, two things that don't go together easily." He tossed his lightsaber to the student and let him get started his way.

T'zanith had just put his lightsaber away as [member="Darth Valdra"]'s lightsaber came at him and he just managed to catch it. It was heavier than his own and it felt a little encumbering but he then nodded to his master and moved to the middle of the room and sat down in a meditative posture as he raised the lightsaber above his head and he turned it on and began to spin it slowly in the air above him as he began to breathe in and out in a steady rhythm. 'A part of me thinks he's trying to kill me...' He thought right before he began to quiet his mind.
Even though T'zanith questioned his masters methods at times he couldn't deny it accelerated the learning process for him much quicker as it seemed the challenges were made to do just that.

 

[Darth Vaildra]

As his apprentice sat in the grass, Valdra watched him begin. If T'zanith asked Valdra if he was trying to kill him, he would just laugh a little and probably say something like, "Not a bad idea, but that is purely your decision." Valdra's methods were not unheard of among the Sith, but not practiced much anymore. Even before falling to the Dark Side, Valdra trained himself like this. The One Sith was his enemy and were waging war and he needed the power to fight and needed it fast. He did this by meditating with live lightsabers above his head, jumping off 200 foot cliffs and even training as a Jedi Shadow. Valdra rarely verbalized his own accomplishments because he saw no reason to. Boasting in power was useless as it made you feel comfortable and he had to stay sharp or die.

He saw a lot of potential in his student. While he wished to train his student more and give him more things, this slow and through process was making him a more focused warrior. His defeat of the beast in the cave was proof of this, As the meditation began, Va;dra decided to speak, "You have a lot of potinual in you Apprentice. I could be like other Masters and just give you power, but you would get drunk on it and your death would be swift. I am teaching you power and death so that you will become stronger, but also know the price of your power. You will gain power by ripping it from the clutches of death and claiming it for yourself, never handed to you. That is why I will soon be enlisting you in the Sith Assassins. With your background training and what I teach you, you will learn to take life and death will be an ally. Even when you become a Knight and are no longer my apprentice I will still be around, teaching you and growing you. I can say this because I know what my future holds, I have seen visions and soon, as I am teaching you, I will truly die and conquer death."

Valdra had recently had a vision of his death and power being ripped away, but the Force woul restore him and something new would happen. He was not sure exactly what was going to happen, but knew something would.

T'zanith appreciated what [member="Darth Valdra"] was doing for him as he spoke to him, that was until he mentioned his own death. "W-wait what?!" He said as his focus wavered and he nearly dropped the lightsaber down on top of him but just managed to hold it up above his head and the spinning had slowed down considerably.
To T'zaniht Valdra had become more than just his master, he had become the young mans mentor and a part of him wished to gain the power he offered simply to be able to stand with him and next to him. He had become the peak of power T'zanith had to climb and surpass in order to truly understand the power that he, himself had gained along his journey within the sith's ranks and halls.
The thought of him ripping power and knowledge from death itself had made the Acolyte humble in his view of himself and his own power, with a constant wish for self improvement having been instilled into the young man over the first few day's of training with Valdra.

 

[Darth Vaildra]

"Focus!" Valdra would not say he cared about his student, he really cared about no one, but at the sametime he would protect him. His version of protection was to train him seriously before he through him into real battle. "Clear your mind of everything besides the lightsaber, only the lightsaber exists. It is not just a weapon, it is apart of you, it is more important then your own arm.

T'zanith closed his eyes in the force and focused solely on meditating and keeping the lightsaber spinning above him. He was a little shocked at the news but he also was sure that he'd learn everything he could from [member="Darth Valdra"] before that end would come. "Yes master." He replied to his masters scolding and the lightsaber began to spin faster above him as he began to feel as if he was performing a sort of moving meditation by keeping the lightsaber spinning above his head.

 

[Darth Vaildra]

Valdra watched his student meditate. He stood their patiently without a word for an hour. He watched the blade spin, while it involved the Force, in a meditative state it used little energy that was quickly replaced. After an hour, Valdra spoke, "The Juyo form is an aggressive form that it focused on power and fury. It is based off the beast, Vornskr. They attack like large, fast wild animals. To learn Juyo, you need to face it's maker so." Valdra used the Force to open two cages and hid himself from them using the Force so all they saw was T'zanith. They began to growl and then in unison they attacked.

T'zanith stopped meditating when [member="Darth Valdra"] began to speak and he moved the lightsaber back to it's owner. When the vornskr were let out T'zanith jumped to his feet and took a few steps back before looking at his master only to see him disappear.
With quick movements he took out his own lightsaber and force pushed one beast back as he slashed towards the other. He hit the beast but it wasn't enough to kill it and it also managed to slash at his leg with it's front paw. T'zanith had read about the Vornskr and knew that by no means should he be hit by their tails so when he saw the opportunity he lunged forwards and sliced the beasts tail off.

 

[Darth Vaildra]

Valdra watched his young student with delight. His moves and method was calculated, but not Juyo. He used the Force to speak to his student's mind, "Aggression, Juyo is aggressive. Be more of a beast than the beasts you are facing. You must see their animistic behavior and surpass it. By doing this you will strike fear into them and your future enemies. Tactics are good, but you are to be on the offence, ever pushing."

[Member="T'zanith Zebron"]

 

[Shaddi]

T'zanith listened to his master and took a few steps back away from the beasts as they sized him up. "So what you're saying is give into every aggressive emotion I have?" He half asked as he stared the beasts and he gave into everything. Letting his discipline go he charged towards the beasts and began slashing wildly at them with as strong strikes as he could.
He sliced the wounded Vornskr and roared out at the other. He gave fully into the darkside in that moment and just embraced every single negative emotion he was used to suppressing.

[member="Darth Valdra"]

 

[Darth Vaildra]

"Yes and no, do not abandoned everything for aggression or you will be a blind rage, but what you are doing now is correct. With time you will learn to temper your fury, but until then you need to learn to let go and open up all your senses and power." Valdra watched his apprentice and saw the spark of fury that would make him a great warrior one day.

He then pressed a button and unleashed four more Vornskr on his apprentice with only one cage being left sealed which had something in it, but it was unclear what. This would be revealed once the Vornskr were all dead.

As T'zanith saw the new addition to his enemy's he metaphorically rolled his eyes. 'Oh yes because I so want to get stabbed by a tail today!' He thought as he got angrier and as one lunged at him he simply gripped it with the force and slammed it into the ground in front of him as he then sliced it's head off and began a deliberate walk towards the other Vornskr.
Two more came charging at him as he sliced up one of their sides and then took a side flip to get out of the tail's way and sliced the Vornskr's neck open. When he landed however his back was sliced by another Vornskr who had come behind the first two.

[Darth Vaildra]

"Focus, stop getting hit." Valdra's lips curled in a smile as he watched the apprentice fight the beasts. The aggression of the student made what was ever in the large cage rock the cage and let out a large roar. Valdra looked over to it ready for what was to come. The movements of T'zanith as he performed Juyo. It was all about power, but foucs needed to be add. There were two rages, furious and blind. Blind rage would get someone killed at a young age, but furious was a rage with a purpose able to devour all in it's path.

With a quick side step and slice he dealt with the Vornskr at his back but the wound against his back burned with pain. Powering through it he faced the last two Vornskr left as he took a stance against them. As one roared at him and the other charged at him, he stepped forwards as he sliced at the Vornskr's claws as they came towards him before he decapitated the beast.
With only one left he didn't speak, instead he emanated a cold fury towards his enemy which caused the vornskr to flinch, just what T'zanith needed to charge towards it and bury his saber into the beasts skull.
"Well then master what other surprise do you have in store for me this time?" He then said as he breathed in and out audibly as he controlled his anger, molding it into a fine point of extreme focus.

[Darth Vaildra]

"No surprises, merely a demonstration." He then lift his hand and swiped the air causing the locks on the cage to come undone and there stood a 9 foot, teen Rancor. It fixated it's eyes on T'Zanith at doesn't but then Sabastian used the force to throw a rock at it and turn the attention to him.

The beast growled and moved towards Sabastian with the intentions of making him a meal. People have always said animals can sense fear, but they can also sense a predictor. The Dark Side in Sabastian raged against the beast. To someone without Force Sight this would look like an aged man standing with a cane and a beast charging and nothing more. To T'Zanith this might look like fire lashing at the beast.

The beast sensed the power and slowed to a stop. The beast fumed like an animal wanting to attack, but unsure of himself. Sebastian slowly took a step forward softly planting his foot in the soft grass as the creature mimicked and moved back a little. As the Knight moved forward, the beast moved back eagerly growling, but not attacking.

This had nothing to do with Beast Taming, but was mere using power to promote dominance over the beast. He then rushed the beast who swiped its clawed arms in defense. With his speed he zipped between them and then lifted his cane as the blood poisoned tip came out and he stuck it through the heart's neck. The beast gargled blood. He then grabbed the beast with the Force and lifted him not only off the cane, but into the air. He smirked as the beast made it rain blood. Putting his cane in the ground he now lifted both hands to the flying beast and with effort he ripped all the limbs and beast itself in half making the area rain blood.

He turned towards his apprentice as his own body and face had dots of blood all over. "Your basics are over, it is time we make you into an inquisitor. I hope you don't have a weak stomach, this blood is only the beginning."

[Member="T'zanith Zebron"]

 

[Shaddi]

T'zanith looked at his master in awe as he demonstrated his power making T'zanith quickly forget his anger and rage. "And what does an inquisitor do?" He then asked, still a bit awed over the display he had just witnessed from [member="Lord Sabastian"] but also still trying to focus on the now. He had never seen telekinesis used in such a manner and smiled as his mind began to ponder all the possibilities of it.
Turning off his saber he placed it back on his belt and crossed his arms. He hadn't heard of such a member faction within the order at all and it intrigued him.

 

[Darth Vaildra]

" There are two answers to that question. Power wise, an inquisitor seeks out the deepest, most forbidden secrets of the dark side and focuses on the mind and the Force itself for power rather that the lightsaber and strength. Secondly, we exist to seek information and root out enemies of the Sith. While a warrior is more brash and you may see as rebelious, an inquisitor is more clever and thoughtful on manipulation and their plans. Your enemies may think you are a friend until they find the force around their neck. It will be a long process and you will find you will never be complete or satisfied with your level of power or control." He lit the area on fire to get rid of the carcasses. No need to have the temple have rotting flesh outdoors. He used his free hand to rest on his cane as such a display was taxing, but also fulfilling.

T'zanith thought on it a bit and then looked at [member="Lord Sabastian"], or at least turned his head to seem like he was looking at him. "What about knowledge of lightsaber forms?" He asked as he found that his interests were on both the mystical and mental as well as the martial. He knew his saber would be mostly focused on turning his power and body into a finely honed and tuned monster of a fighter and sorcerer but that was still a long way off now he wanted to gain the power he craved. With a flick of his wrist he placed his saber on his belt with the force.
