There's a gush of wind as the Echani Jedi Master vanishes in front of his vestigial eyes, leaping over him as if he were a frog. Disoriented with the amount of dependency relied on his Force Sight, Charlie uses Tulaak as a stepping stone. Right after, he senses the aura of Kat execute a charging leap over him, similar to that of Master Nooran. He realized he could no longer rely on Nooran's visual.

Clenching his fist, he quickly turns around to sense the point as to where the other two Padawan were planning to attack. He makes the realization that he must result in using his surrounding. The maintained vegetation below him seems untrampled in the exception to the target point of the other Padawans, with a few flowering plants having been creased over onto the smooth dirt beneath everyone. The Miralukan takes on a face of seriousness as he felt the others were treating him as inferior, planting his feet on the ground as his jaw clenches.

The metallic smell of his saber sticks onto his hands the longer he holds onto it. Igniting the blade, he stands his ground, not out of fear, but out of acknowledgment. He relaxes his hands and focuses on maintaining the sensory perception of the Echani Jedi Master, attempting a novice's excuse for a defensive stance; lowering his center of gravity, he holds his saber with both hands diagonally from his chest. He waits for any other move attempts...

 

[Asaraa Vaashe]

Well now, it certainly didn't look like they were going to be able to bum rush Jyoti, the Master was too wily and too experienced for that. Asaraa could see her fellow Padawan's trying to charge straight at the Jedi Master but, she must have expected that, and if she was letting them it was because it was what she wanted to do. Well, if that was the case then, perhaps it was time to try something new, hopefully, something she wasn't expecting.

Reaching out a hand the pink-haired padawan reached out through the force, wrapping it around Saka's lightsaber, pulling it away from the girl's belt with a gesture, the blade bursting to life as it span through the air. With her other hand the padawan gestured to the gardens, sweeping up the debris, leaves and twigs that always found their way into any garden/ Both hands swung out, thrusting out in front of her towards Jyoti as she spiralled the twigs into a tight cone, driving it towards the Jedi master, using the funnel to mask the lightsaber swinging around, to mask Charlie and Kat's attacks as her hands moved like a conductor manipulating their orchestra.

When Jyoti told everyone in the area to attack her his eyes move toward the other padawans to see the reactions of each of them and how they will handle the situation. Jasper knew for a millisecond he wasn't going to defeat her in any form of combat. He was a just a teenager, she was a cyborg, he barely had an understanding of the force, she knows the force more than him.

He felt an immediate tightness in his gut. No question it was nervousness. He hated this so much. That moment before the fights began when you don't know what going to happen. Who going to make the first move and consequences of that person making the first move. It was the uncertainty that had made him felt this way.

Upon seeing the first move made from the group of padawans, Jasper felt a surge of relief that ended a portion of the nervousness that was inside him. He studied the person first attacking the Jedi Master seeing what skills he had, he takes closer looks at the rest of the people attacking them while watching the whole scene in front of him. He takes him a while to notice the one padawan (Amara) not going in and attacking Jyoti.

"What is her plan? Why isn't she attacking along with the rest? Does she also realize it pointless as well?" Jasper thought "She is waiting for an opening? Trying to determine a weakness? Or may--"

Jasper came back to reality once she saw the pink hair Jedi (Vasshe) using the force. He hated to admit it but he was impressed. He wondered how long she been at this temple and what did she learned and developed. In the end, he made a choice, to stand and watch the fight from afar.

 

[Eugen Aker]

There was a smile growing on Jyoti's face as three of the padawan immediately reoriented to keep up the attack.

The Padawan were tenacious, she would give them that, but the Ataru users of the bunch were still much too aggressive, particularly Charlie with her aerial acrobatics. There was a good reason to stay grounded, as it was hard to course correct through the air.

With her hind leg, she kicked off into a spin that sent her behind a charging Charlie and Kat - circle walking. Mid-rotation, she conjured a jet of air with her free hand, directing it at their backs. With their forward momentum, it was quite likely would be sent flying into some nearby hedges with as much energy she put into the gust. Consequently, they may also find themselves funneled into the vortex that Asaraa had just made and be pelted with sticks and stones.

That wasn't all that had been thrown her way by the Asaraa, she could feel that a lightsaber had been chucked into the mix. She contemplated wresting it from the air - lightsaber throws were a personal peeve - but she just let it keep flying with everything else to see if it hit Charlie or Kat.

Again, she became still as she awaited the inevitable counter, beaming at Asaraa with a saber salute.

Despite her relaxed state, she was still tracking everyone around her. More than half the Padawan was just standing, either to observe or waiting for an opening. These were the ones to keep an eye on.

[Charlie Nooran]

Charlie felt the shift in the wind around her and she knew that this wasn’t the course of action she should have taken. “Feth.” The Master moved fluidly, around her and Kat. There wasn’t enough time for Charlie to adjust her course especially with the gust that the Master had created along with the sticks that now pelted her in the face. Charlie let momentum take her and she landed first on her feet and then on to her bottom as she skidded to a stop.

Standing up, the pain in her rear end was a reminder she needed to be balanced between the air attacks along with ground attacks. Being focused on one opened her up to easy counters such as the one Jyoti performed. Asaraa seemed to have Jyoti’s attention now which allowed the others to gather themselves.

Running back, she didn’t charge again like she had before, Charlie paused and assessed the situation and remembered how easily Jyoti avoided them. Maybe if she got in closer, forced the woman’s hand into combat they would have a better chance. Lightsaber deactivated, Charlie held it in her dominate right hand, stepping forward she raised both her hands in fists. After a moment of giving herself time to think, the Padawan stepped forward, planting her left foot firmly into the ground and using her back leg to round kick the Master’s side. Her hands remained up as she balanced herself through the attack. Lightsaber still deactivated, but prepared.

[Kat Decoria]

Kat growled as she was pelted by sticks and stones. Luckily none had broken her bones. Tightening her ponytail, she adjusted her Force Pike and watched the scene as it was currently Jyoti just toying with them. Not demonstrating any Lightsaber fighting skills. This was more frustrating than having the Jedi Master beating them up with her Lightsaber. Master Nooran was basically dancing around their attacks.

Charlie had already gone for another attack, Kat wasn't sure this would work. Front on attacks had been predictable, avoidable, even the thrown Lightsaber from Asaraa hadn't been any good. Placing her pike in her non-dominate hand, Kat lifted her hand up and tried sending out Force Push. Nothing happened. Frowning, she looked at her hand then tried again. Something, she had to use something. She had seen Jedi make lightning, waves of Force Push, Force Repulse and all sorts in combat. Choking people, gripping objects and flinging them at people. That would have been fine. But nothing.

Sighing Kat shook her head. It was still super early in her training, of which she hadn't had loads. Maybe she should focus on the skills she did have. A wrench was still attached to her belt, grabbing she looked at Jyoti then at the wrench. It was a crude plan but crude might work. Rushing forward, she held her pike in a fashion that looked ready to strike high. Three to two feet away from the Jedi Master, Kat launches the wrench flying from her hand at the Jedi Master. Planning being distract with the wrench, hit with the pike. Shifting her stance as she moved in close, Kat kicked out with her robotic legs at the knees of the Jedi Master.

[Asaraa Vaashe]

Well, that didn't quite go as she'd hoped it would. The padawan had hoped that the twin distractions offered by her attacks would give the other fighter's a chance to react, to slip past Jyoti's guard. But the woman hed dealt with them efficiently, sending her attackers flying backwards.

A sigh escaped Asaraa's lips as she gestured down, the cone of detritus she'd been using to harass the Jedi Master falling to the ground as she sucked in a ragged breath. This was the second time she'd tried that, using light leaves as a means of buffeting an opponent and knocking them off their game. While each leaf might have been light, the sheer mass of them made it an unwieldy and draining tool to use. Flicking her hand she summoned Saka's lightsaber back, throwing it over to the girl as her saber flashed up and down in a Makashi salute aimed at Jyoti.

"You know, I think we may need to come up with a better plan than that," she allowed, never taking her eyes of the woman as she began to pace around to her left, describing a circle around their opponent. She was proud of the fact that her hand wasn't shaking as she paced, taking the time to recover after her use of the force. "She's not going to let us swarm her, so...constant attacks to beat her down?" It had the benefit of being able to work even if your opponent knew what you were doing. Even as she spoke she could see Kat rushing in, a wrenching flying out of her hands as she moved to strike, Asaraa's circling taking her round to try to cut off Jyoti's path of retreat.

[Yag'dril]

Yag was watchign the fight with a fascination.. mostly so she could wach the jedi master. Just like facing the nasty creatures back home.. in their caves. You needed to know how to face them and avoid the poisoned stingers and fangs. She moved around as the muscles of her body was letting her go fast. She saw the different angles they were attacking from.. different movements when she stopped and her body went up. Coiling and wrapping into a point on the ceiling where she could lower her tail and her body. Training saber in hand as she came down and moved with a tail lashing out to no longer sweep. She was hunting, going for Jyoti's counters and dodges with lightning fast strikes from a muscled tail to try and stun her. Her body with the saber coming in to support Kat

 

[Ihsan]

Saka nearly choked on her tea in surprise as the pink haired Padawan snatched her lightsaber away from the Mirialans belt.

The sound Saka made was, strictly speaking, laughter. Except that it escaped in the form of an extremely undignified and hastily cut-off shriek, at which point she had to clap a hand over her mouth and set her flask aside before she spilled it over herself. She had hardly expected to lose her lightsaber so soon, nevertheless it was amusing to watch the other Padawans lose to master Nooran.

Observing the fight from afar has given Jasper additional information on each padawan as well as Jedi Master Jyoti. This latest information has caused Jasper to make new mental notes on the situation. The padawans different methods of attacks and tactics had surprised and, although he didn’t want to admit it, amazed him. This was no different with Master Jyoti and it made Jasper wondered what type of training she went through to become the person she is today. In the end, he put aside those thoughts on Jyoti and examined the padawans fighting styles that were seen from his view along with the info he acquired on them from earlier.

Jasper witnessed most of them (Charlie, Kat, Mutaak) are using their whole bodies to attack and subdue Joyi. No doubt the force was involved in their movements. He remembers of a form of lightsaber combat dealing with something like what he sees.

Form IV, Ataru. That was the form of saber combat that focuses on using all their body parts in a fast-paced and aggressive style. He knew this from the Jedi cube he gotten through there wasn’t much information on the form. The cube was only meant to help Jasper learn about the force, not lightsaber combat. However, Jasper used common sense to realize on his own that Ataru combat was taxing to the person body since it involved using the body consistently and that could tire out the person.

Jasper figured that the padawans using that form knew that it would be taxing to their bodies. This made Jasper believe that they were conditioned physically. He also saw them changed their plan of attack so at least they can adapt too. Better than the people back in Jasper’s home planet.

And yet Master Jyoti was able to adapt to her soundings better than the Padawans. Jasper was impressed at this and understood now why she was given the rank of Jedi Master from her peers. He continued to watch the fight and see what happens next.

 

[Sarianna]

Sarianna was watching the fight and snickered to herself a little after hearing Jyoti and see the fight.. it was not looking at good as she hoped though staying against the wall. 'I don't know what the plan is but they are were trying at least... mostly. It was hard to see as most of them seemed to be dashing forms of light and energy across her vision. Still for a duel they had struck fast and first... which was a dangerous mind set that might need to be addressed in a niman class.
