Bane of my existence

[Akhilleus]

[SIZE=10pt]The moment the Sith cut the droids Nikias dropped them in a heap around her. He wasn't simply throwing the parts he had been guiding them[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] getting a feel for her and sizing her up from the beginning. The now four pieces of the droid had steam rising from its wounds while it wailed. "Why?!" It tried to scream but it came out garbled due to the vocal unit being damaged. Nikias would've probably felt sorry for the droid if he didn't currently have his life on the line dealing with a Sith that didn't know when to give up. Cracking his neck Nikias was relieved that he hadn't resorted to the heavy uses of telekinesis. So far he'd been doing nothing but simple maneuvers and controlling light objects. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Though Nikias had no clue what the Sith had done or what she was ranting about as due to his sense abilities in the force being weak he didn't even notice the darkside aura. He'd already assumed that the Sith had one. "I think you should really calm down[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] I heard there were these things called Darth Chill Pills on the market now. You never know don't want you having an aneurysm from all that rage." Nikias joked. While he knew that he was facing a dangerous Sith he also knew that they weren't prone to having the calmest of personalities. Especially when being taunted[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] even worse when they thought they were saying something important. It was a simple mind game and took little effort to employ. Even if it didn't work Nikias had offered the woman a fair share of insults in battle. Face not changing at all Nikias simply closed his left hand into a fist and all four pieces of the droid came to life flying at the Sith from each direction. While of course she could just simply cut them into pieces like she did before Nikias added another subtle movement of his right hand. This time it was aimed at the heels that he'd destroyed[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] the same heel the Sith had been able to run on with no problem. It meant that not only were they sturdy but could be used as a potential weapon. So while the Sith was distracted with the droids the heels were turned into projectiles at the same time aimed for the back of the Sith's calves. [/SIZE]

The solution here was quite obvious, and Safiriel should have taken them earlier. As the parts were launched at her Safiriel dove into a forward roll toward Nikias, coming to her feet in a blazing display of sabers. A shield could only help so much when blows were raining in from so many different angles. Though human in apperance, Echani were only so superficially so. Their heart beats at twice the speed of a normal human's, their movements are always filled with subtle purpose, a simple gesture ending in a harsh puncturing motion, if the situation demanded, and it did.

No matter how physically impressive her opponent was, Safiriel had speed, and in a battle of Sabers, that was what mattered

[SIZE=10pt]With the Sith now making her way to engage Nikias in saber combat he let the pieces of the droid fall to the ground and simply dropped his saber. Letting the force guide the saber back to his belt Nikias raised his left arm and the Makrosian shield sprang to life. Unlike other shield[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] it was made of lightsaber technology and made it more than a bit lethal[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] as well as a great defense. With three different settings Nikias was more than prepared for the onslaught brought on by the Sith. With a circumference of 4.4 meters the shield was easily large enough to block the attacks from the Sith as it covered just about all of Nikias upper body. With very small movements Nikias would be able to shield what parts of his body wasn't covered by the shield. The entire point of it had been to deal with such occasions where someone tried to overwhelm Nikias with speed and swordplay. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Though the saber dropping to his belt had only been a minor distraction[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] there had been plenty of apprentices that controlled their sabers with the force. Nikias himself had spent his time with his own saber. Controlling a saber through the force was similar to controlling any other object through the force[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] but not every other object was a lethal blade of plasma. nor With a shift of his body Nikias hid the right side of his body so his opponent couldn't see the saber moving away from his hip. In a telekinetic grip it slowly worked its way up and over Nikias' head similar to a scorpions’ tail. Then as it hung in the air for a split second it came down striking in a series of thrusts aimed at the Sith. The first two thrusts were immediately at her head and chest while the second two were aimed for her shoulders. Nikias modus agendi was never to fight someone in a head to head match. Many Sith saw that as a way to do combat[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] even jedi did so. But not nikias. Ever since the beginning of the fight the Sith assassin had been aiming to get in close[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] trying to engage Nikias in what she thought was his weakness without realizing his ingenuity made up for it.
