Combat Training

[Zavzen Sae'ryx]

Zavzen stared at the woman for a moment before reaching out to pat her hands. "I'm sorry for your loss, no matter how belated this is. Nar Shaddaa is a cruel place, I should know." Zavzen handed over Stadust's drink before taking a sip of his own. He then began to tell his own tale, hoping that it would help the Twi'lek move her focus from her memories. "I was born there, y'know. Had a good early life before all three of us, mother and father as well as me, ended up becoming slaves. Father fought as a Gladiator for the Hutt, mother too, though not as much. She died when I was 14, that's when I was forced to take her place and become a serious Gladiator, I had already been force to fight in minor fights. Father died four years later, he rebelled, you see, and the son of a gundark Hutt had him killed as an example. I used the chaos to escape and fled that moon. Ended up stumbling around the Galaxy for a good few years before I found some place to settle down, Ession. They were trying to reform it, make it better so I helped. Ended up leaving and travelling again though then stumbled across you lot." Zavzen let out a sigh as he stared at the now empty cup, "Well that's my life." This was said sadly, after all, with his illness that might all there would ever be. "So, you didn't finish telling me about your life."

She looked at him hearing him say it sadly"hey lifes not over yet you gotta taje it fir all its got"


She then looked away"there's some stuff....I can't say "she said her voice distant" but I can say I've see. A empire rise and a empire fall ive trained in the force under a rogue knight in that empire then I joined a group that fell again and here I am"she smiled

Zavzen nodded when she said there were some things she couldn't or didn't want to say, everyone had their secrets and pasts that haunted them. Reaching out, he took her cup from her hands and placed it on the tray next to his own before using the Force to send it back to his ship. Standing up he looked down at Stardust. "How about a swordsmanship spar, I'll only use my swords, you'll only use your lightsabers. No Force. No other weapons. What do you say?"

She smiled at him and stood stretching"let us duel blade to blade then

Zavzen nodded before walking over to one side of the clearing, drawing Saviour as he went. Turning, he bowed at Stardust before entering his opening stance. His heels came together, feet at ninety degrees to each other with the right foot in front and pointing at the Twi'lek. The right arm was hanging downwards and out, the sword following the same line. The left arm was crossing the body, left hand wrapped around the sword in a two handed grip. The Zabrak's body was angled slightly to the right. Zavzen stood there, waiting for Stardust to make the first move.

She smiled at him and activated her sabers "I believe you should have the first strike" she slightly angled herself on saber in front another behind her"let's see how you fight without the force my friend "

Zavzen stared at Stardust for a second before nodding. He ran forwards towards towards the Twi'lek, still fast despite not using the Force. As he came in close he brought Saviour up and around to strike using a downwards blow. As soon as he felt contact he settled into Form 5's and 7's modus operandi and launched powerful blow after powerful blow in a continuous stream using Form 4's footwork to dodge any strikes Stardust got in before using the energy from her blows to strengthen his own.

She watched him run towards her , she dodged left and swung for his back using the force a little to make it so the blade was non deadly and only sting some"shah"she blocked his attacks moving back then jumped over him flipping before turning to him again"

Zavzen let the lightsaber come close and side dodged it using a Jung-ma manoeuvre, however the strike at her legs missed when Stardust executed a Sai dodge. Sighing he settled back into the opening stance he had used before and waited for the Twi'lek to make the next move, willing to wait as long as necessary.

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She smiled and circled around him"very interesting blades I just say, I bet theres a story to them"she said before rushing at him, she made one blades slicing left the other right in which would created a x, if that succeed she would then do a down strike

Using Su Zavzen scooped up both attacks with Saviour and pushed them high, knocking Stardust off balance. Then he drew Reaper is a reverse grip, pulling it out of its sheath in one smooth movement, before bringing it to rest against the Twi'lek's neck. "I win."

Sighing he re-sheathed both swords and walked over to The Eternal Saviour to pick up his tunic and pull it on before fastening it up halfway. While he did this he was thinking about what Stardust had said about his swords. Letting his body droop, he came to a decision he thought he never would. "You mentioned my swords," he said slowly, "do you want to know the backstory behind them? I mean, we're apparently sharing our histories." He turned to face the beautiful woman, and cocked his head, waiting for her answer.

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She watched the blade come at her but stayed relax"checkmate"she grinned and out her sabers up watching him walk to his ship, she soon felt his mood change or so it seemed to her"yes....if it doesn't bother you much

Nodding, Zavzen sat down on the ramp of his ship, beckoning Stardust over to sit next to him. "These swords are Saviour and Reaper. They're basically all that I have left of my old Master from before he went Sith, Star. I spent two weeks carefully crafting these beautifies into existence with my Master's help. I only slept once that whole time." Zavzen smiled softly. "Each is imbued with the Force and each one was adjusted by my Master once I was done to make them perfect. Using the Art of the Small he altered their magnetic polarity." Zavzen smirked, "They're pretty handy to have."

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She sat by him and listened to him with a smiles "so its a keep sake huh" she smiled looking out"my sabers colors blue and green were my parents colors....my way of remembering"she looked out"remember how I said how I had past that I couldn't speak of "

Zavzen reached out to pat her on the hand again and just sat there afterwards, relaxing in the comfortable silence. "Well," he suddenly jumped to his feet, "There's no point in us sitting around is there? There's a whole galaxy out there with adventure 'round every corner and we're just sitting here. That can't be right." Held out a hand to help her stand, it was the gentlemanly thing to do after all. "It was a pleasure to truly meet you, my dear." He brought her hand up to his lips to kiss the back of it. "I do so hope we can meet up like this again, my dear, it was refreshing. Would you allow me to escort you back to your ship?"

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She smiled and blushed lightly as he helped her up and kiss the back oof her hand"indeed its been a pleasure my friend I hope to as well meet again like this but instead we'll just bond on other things"she smiled"and yes a escort would be nice my friend

After walked Stardust to her ship and telling her that she could have access to HAELI at any time through her astromech droid, he returned to his own ship. After picking everything up and depositing it in its place aboard the ship, Zavzen went back outside to the clearing to lay down. After all it was a rather beautiful day and the smell and sounds of nature always calmed him. Eventually he to would leave Naboo to return to the Fleet where he would begin training again, the Force was telling him he had a difficult journey ahead and he would need as many friends and as much strength as he could get.
