Coruscant

[PadawnPrawn]

The Jedi had been assigned a mission to bring about the capture of [member="Nulgath Zardai"], a Sith Acolyte after many people had become aware of the man and his role in the domination of Iridonia. Fletcher, though not being assigned to the mission personally, took it upon himself to see the capture or killing of the Acolyte.

Being only a padawan, he wasn't supposed to take missions alone. But being as gifted as he was with a lightsaber, he thought he could take on an Acolyte by himself. His master didn't know he had come here, though she was on the same planet, and neither did the Jedi Council. No one was supposed to take this mission for days. Fletcher didn't feel that, given his status amongst the Jedi, he was taken seriously enough by the Council. Sometimes missions were deemed too dangerous which just compelled him to do even more reckless things.

Fletcher walked confidently into the Starport hangar and immediately his eyes darted around in search of the man he had came here for. This was the first time he'd taken a mission by himself, and technically he wasn't going against any orders as no one told him not to take the mission. Though he suspected words would be said afterwards, he hoped they would be less harsh if he actually managed to succeed in doing the deed.

Finally picking out the man he had been searching for, he walked over to the Acolyte and immediately took out his lightsaber and ignited it as a threat.

"This is a warning. Drop all your weapons." Fletcher said calmly, though he doubted the man would actually do what he was told.

It had been couple weeks since the Domination of Iridonia, Those were good times. The tall middle aged Epicanthix smirked and continued to tell some political friends by his side the story of his vocabulary skills in suggesting the Jedi were not what they seemed. Walking to his ship the two other politicians laughed as Nulgath continued to tell the story. With his hands behind his back and walking rather arrogantly the Epicanthix chuckled some. He enjoyed his chats but it was time to go, shaking the hands of the two political figures Nulgath nodded to them and watched the two walk off oblivious to the younger boy who approached.

Eyeing the approaching boy some Nulgath noted his presence and ignored him, turning his back the sudden sound of a snap-hiss came to his ear. It was a lightsaber... there was no doubt. Then came the words next.

"This is a warning. Drop all your weapons."

Turning around Nulgath examined the young man, he could not recognize him. The Epicanthixs head looked down at his own figure. Weapons? There were none... Nulgath detested Lightsaber combat and relied on the Force as his weapon. His attire was Inquistor robes adorned with durasteel around the shoulders and down his back. Slowly he unclasped his hands from behind his back and folded them in front of his stomach. Walking forward two steps he said.

" Do you see any weapons? There are none...But you wont take that. There is no need for a scene, deactivate your lightsaber and tell me who your are. Why are you here? Do I know you, Jedi?" Nulgath asked many questions and tilted his head some beginning to tactically plan how this would turn out if words failed him. The epicanthics eyes scoured over the Jedi taking in every detail. It would be needed. Calming himself Nulgath prepared him mind for whatever that was to come.

Suddenly realising the Force was a weapon that couldn't be taken away so easily, Fletcher widened the distance between himself and the man. He deactivated his lightsaber and stared at the man, coldly. He realised this was going to be a lot harder to fight.

"It was just a precautionary statement." he said as he put the lightsaber back in his belt. He wore the standard Jedi attire with a braid that labelled him as a Padawan.

Though he had missed a lot of his training when he was younger, he was quite good with the force. He still had much to learn but it was enough to be of use on missions. He'd never fought by relying purely on force, he could be unpredictable with it. Since the Force was an inconspicuous
weapon, it was hard to see what he was up against and hard to predict his opponent's next move.

Despite the odds, he didn't feel the slightest bit nervous.

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

" Indeed it was... But that still leaves my question to be answered. Yes? So tell be who are you?" Nulgath asked once more and noted the fact that the Jedi did indeed listen to his suggestion of putting away with his blade, But he also too a step back. It seemed both were preparing themselves now, The middle aged Epicanthix squinted some staring at the Young man and using his peripherals to eye metal cargo containers in the Hangar bay. His training aimed him to always attack when it was least expected and so he would. When [member="Fletcher Lorcan"] looked to be thinking about an answer that was when Nulgath would give more focus and throw a metal container at the jedi's right side.

Glancing over to the containers behind [member="Fletcher Lorcan"] and then looking up to the left trying to mask his action Nulgath slowly gripped the container with his mind feeling the object and slowly lifting it in the air. Ready to strike he refrained from speaking and solely waited for an opening.

- Answer the question, Answer the Question...- he thought to himself as he waited.

 

[PadawnPrawn]

"I'm here on orders." he said, though it wasn't strictly true. The mission wasn't assigned to him. "I'm Fletcher Lorcan, an apprentice." he said as he began to move around the man. He had started to prepare for a fight, dropping his robe to the floor and focusing on only the force.

Though most Padawans weren't exactly intimidating, Fletcher was over confident which often led to poor judgement and complications in fights. The Force was an incredible weapon if you knew how to use it and a deadly weapon if fallen into the wrong hands. It was a natural gift that couldn't be taught or earned, which made it ever more inconspicuous.

"You're under arrest by the order of the Jedi."

[member="Nulgath Zardai"]

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Focusing Nulgath Released the metal container and flung it in the padawans direction as he removed is robes, aimed to hit the boys side by the time he finished talking. Unfolding his hands the Epicanthix tilted his head some. " Oh? Under what charges?" he said and prepared his body to move. " Do you know whom you face boy?" Nulgath said not interested in answers anymore. His body language suggested he was going to make a move that [member="Fletcher Lorcan"] would physically see. Lifting his hands Nulgath quickly summoned another metal container to fly at Fletchers person.

"Fool.." he muttered. And the with those words said the conflict had begun.

(( Actions Taken: One metal barrel is flying at you from behind and another is directly coming at you to mask my first attack.))

 

[PadawnPrawn]

Sensing the danger, though given only moments to react, he attempted to use the Force to stop the barrel coming at him from the front. But due to sheer panic, it clearly wasn't going to work. But by the time he'd taken, he had no time to consider other options because the barrel from behind had hit his side, knocking him forwards and onto the floor.

He clutched his side with both hands, though there was no visible wound, the impact still hurt. This mission wasn't going to be as easy as he thought, clearly. He used his hand to reach out towards [member="Nulgath Zardai"] and attempted to knock the man over using the force, in order to buy himself more time.

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Chuckling some Nulgath cracked his neck and started to ready his body more. Watching [member="Fletcher Lorcan"] fall to the ground make him smile some, Curving his fingers down towards him the Epicanthix was ready to let loose a Force Shock, But he was too late as the young mans own force push had hit Nulgath in a surprise. Stumbling around Nulgaht struggled to gain balance and fell to a knee. Gritting his teeth Nulgath extended his hand once more launching sparks at [member="Fletcher Lorcan"], Force Shock it was. Not a strong as Force Lightning but effective when it came to stunning an opponent. He would have to be careful in his fight if he was to win, The Force was a powerful ally and weapon to wield.

" You dare attack me here!" he scowled.

 

[PadawnPrawn]

The sudden attack pushed him back to the floor, stunned. Although, he still believed he could take the mission alone and didn't need any help. He refused to accept that he wasn't as good as he thought he was.

After a moment, he pushed himself off the floor, groaning in pain from the shock. Fletcher picked up a smaller barrel with the force, concentrating hard, and sent it flying towards the man. He wasn't as trained in the Force as other Jedi, but he was trained a lot more in lightsaber combat which was his lifeline in most given situations.

Fletcher felt increasingly frustrated that his attacks weren't as powerful as his opponent's.

[member="Nulgath Zardai"]

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Smiling at the young mans pain Nulgath chuckled once more and stood up, as he did he noticed a Barrel coming at him fast. There was no time to think about a move, So with a dash to the left the middle aged epicanthix utilized what he knew of Force speed to get him to safety. Turning around and looking back at [member="Fletcher Lorcan"] Nulgath said " I cannot be tamed! " and lifted his hands attempting to grip the boy with the force and throw him into the wall were more Cargo was.

It was a game of Force abilities and Nulgath was confinent that he would win as it was his specialty to use as a weapon against others. If his attack was successful he would proceed to walk forward and use Force Shock once more just to see the the Padawan in pain again. " I cannot be controlled! Your Skills are weak Jedi.... Here I thought Jedi were Powerful! Ha!"

 

[PadawnPrawn]

Feeling a sudden grip around himself, he knew there was nothing he could do to release it at his will. After being thrown into the wall, he lay on the floor and turned his head towards the Acolyte. It was clear by now that he was weaker than his opponent in terms of the Force. "Stop!" he pleaded as the Force Shock racked his body again. He moaned from the aching it caused and rolled onto his side.

Fear grew in him as he held his hand out and slowly closed it in attempt to Force Choke his opponent. Though he couldn't be sure if it would work at all. He knew he was on his own as there was no one nearby that he could reach out to telepathically.

"I'm only a Padawan!" he said, breathing heavily.

[member="Nulgath Zardai"]

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

As of yet this little skirmish was getting boring, Nulgaths skills in the Force were greater than the young padawan [member="Fletcher Lorcan"] from what was yet shown. The Fight was not taxing it was childs play, but thats were it changed. As the young jedi took in more pain he did grow in strength, he may not of knew it but when he spoke and reached out in the force to the middle aged epicanthix known as nulgath, He could feel his throat being choked. He could not breathe as well as he could and started to cough. His crimson eyes gazed at the boy and nulgaths hands extended to grip yet another barrel and hurl it at [member="Fletcher Lorcan"].
With a mild smirk he shouted " Yes give in to the Darkside young jedi!" hoping to get that fear in the boy of converting inorder to dominate him later. Fear after all was a powerful ally.

 

[PadawnPrawn]

Fletcher only grew in fear more and more as the fight went on, but he managed to maintain his calmness on the outside. After seeing the barrel coming flying towards him, he force jumped into the air and flipped over the barrel and the Acolyte, landing quickly behind the man and holding both his hands out. The Padawan held a strong grip of the Force and attempted to throw the man at the wall, though his force powers could be unpredictable at times.

"Never! I'll never join the Dark Side. I'm not afraid." he said.

[member="Nulgath Zardai"]

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Oh Things were getting fancy now, As [member="Fletcher Lorcan"] Leaped towards him, Nulgath blinked in surprise. He did not expect ah acrobatics from a padawan but none of the less it was from a jedi.. ugh. He was indeed fast but his emotion was strong with him, logic was there but not there at the same time. Finding himself flying back to a wall the Epicanthix's eyes glanced at the boys lightsaber that was on his belt and focused. * slam* " Ugh! " he groaned and blinked hard, his concentration was broken.

Shaking his head Nulgath extended his arm, his eyes crimson with the darkside. Carefully he gripped the weapon with the force in an attempt to active it on the boys belt. It was the ideal move to escape from his grip and if he got hurt in the process it would only add more time. As soon as he could get free from Fletchers grip Nulgath would utilize force dash to close the gap and deliver a blow groin.

It was time to run and leave this fight, If he could get the chance.

 

[PadawnPrawn]

Fletcher released [member="Nulgath Zardai"] from his grip once his lightsaber was activated by the man. The blade scorched the side of his leg before he had managed to unclip it from his belt. The Padawan threw the lightsaber aside and clutched his leg, though it wasn't even nearly a serious injury, it still burnt. He completely disregarded the Acolyte for a few crucial moments.
