Gathering his energy, the Jedi unleashed another force push at Vinyata, clearly trying to distance himself so he could have temporary reprieve in between attacks. Vinyata conjured the dark side and easily absorbed this attack, sending back with more speed and fury at the Jedi. The Jedi in turn deflected this attack toward the side, and it collided with the steps of the academy, sending large chunks of stone into the air. No sooner had the Jedi deflected the force push than Vinyata had came charging in again, deftly unleashing a torrent of strikes directed at random across the Jedi's body to prevent predictability. As the two continued to dance around each other, exchanging lightsaber blows, Vinyata took an assessment of the situation. Although the Jedi had been physically battered, he was still physically strong and seemed to be willing himself through the pain as he quickly directed his lightsaber to intercept Vinyata's blows. It was obviously apparent the Jedi was as student of the Soresu form, as he was concentrating his energy into Sorseu-style defensive strokes, and was not bothering to execute many attacks at Vinyata. He was confident, and for now was holding his own. It was a quite ironic contrast. Vinyata's 5'9" frame was diminutive in comparison to the tall Nautolan before her, and she was radiating strength and power, while the Jedi was exerting minimal energy in conservation. Vinyata leapt and twirled as she directed her unpredictable lightsaber attacks in all directions. Spinning her saberstaff, she aimed the top blade at the Jedi's head, which he defected. Then she reversed the direction of her saberstaff and swung the bottom blade at the Jedi's legs. As he moved his blade to intercept, Vinyata with her right leg kicked out the legs from underneath the Jedi, and taking her right hand off the hilt of her saberstaff, gathered the force in her hand and unleashed a puch that sent the toppling Jedi into the rocky red ground below. As he landed, red dust kicked up, and Vinyata spun and, with both hands on her saberstaff, cut at the Jedi who was lying on the ground. Deftly, the Jedi recovered his lightsaber and their blades locked.
