[Darth Ayra]

| [member="Bellona Vel"] | [member="Xilo Gale"] |

The Tournament of Acolytes had begun. In front of the watching crowd of One Sith and the other Sith Acolytes, Bellona Vel and Xilo Gale would begin their first duel. Darth Ayra stood centre to both of them as they stood centre stage. "The two of you will now fight one another. You will try to kill one another. Show us what you are capable of."

The Sith Lord left the arena. Silence ensued. No word was given to begin. But since when did you need to be told to kill someone? It was at the dawning of that question at Bellona and Xilo knew that it was time to fight.

 

[Bellona Vel]

Bellona's hands reached for her lightsaber and in one fluid movement they were both in hands. "Well...I can't say I'm too impressed with my competition..." she said as she flashed him a charming yet smug smile. Her flowing robes fell back to reveal her acrobatic wear that would allow her to move nimbly around the arena. As she made a slow circle around him, she blocked out all other senses and focused solely on him and his next move. This was the day she had been waiting for. She would not waste the opportunity to impress her masters and strike fear into her fellow acolytes. "Since I'm feeling...generous, I'll let you have the first move," she said as she ignited her twin sabers. How she loved toying with her prey before their unfortunate demise.

Xilo had stood their patently staring at his opponent taking in every detail about her and their surroundings. Anything he could use to his advantage, but considering it was a clear arena there was nothing Xilo could really use. After the women insulted him Xilo reached up sticking his pinky in his ear as though something was clogging it. "Oh was I supposed to get ready? You're my opponent?" Xilo asked cocking his head to the side. The long white hair fell the same direction as he had a confused look on his face. "How sweet to offer someone you don't even know the first move. Xilo had two lightsabers at each hip but he settled for only grabbing one before activating it the blue blade extending from the hilt. "Here I come." Xilo said as he began dashing across the arena for his opponent starting off with a fake downward slash aimed for the women's shoulder before reversing his body and lashing his foot out at her shin.

Bellona sensed his foot lashing out at her shin so she spun gracefully out of the way. Apparently he could insult her almost as well as she could insult him. She spun her dual sabers in her hands as she focused on her opponent. Her feet found leverage on the arena floor and she launched herself at him with as much force as could. As she flew, she aimed her twin lightsabers at his chest and swung them in conjunction with each other. Once she sliced at his chest, she flipped back again to avoid a counter attack. "This will be fun," she said with a smile. Apparently he wasn't as incompetent as she had expected.

Xilo watched carefully as the women just simply spun away from his kick which actually made Xilo more excited. He was fighting someone who actually was expecting things people normally wouldn't do in a fight. Or was it that she was just sensing his intentions? Without a second thought he took a step back with his left leg dodging one of the blades while he used his saber to transfer the momentum from the strike away from his body instead of taking the brunt of the hit. Putting on a bored face as the women mentioned it would be fun Xilo yawned even though it was a real one the intention was clear. She was boring him. "Are you sure about that? I don't know what could possibly be fun about this. We are thrown into a arena to kill each other. For what to prove to everyone else who is best? TO show who deserves favor over others? If so I shall have no part in it." Xilo said putting his blade down with it facing the ground. "Gotcha." Xilo would say as he'd swipe the saber against the stone and raise it up throwing pieces of heated stone at the women.

 

[Bellona Vel]

Bellona flipped away as well as she could but one of the heated stones hit her on the leg. Her face twisted into a pure expression of rage as she landed on her feet. Her eyes quickly scanned the rocks that were left over from him cutting up the floor. It was then that an idea hit her. She would wipe that stupid bored look off of his face. She spun her sabers out in front of her as she launched one of the rocks at him. As the rock was flying at him from one angle, she jumped to the other side of him and slashed at his shoulder with both sabers. She would show him who was boring.

Looking on as the hot rock hit the womens leg Xilo simply tilted his head to the side not knowing what she was about to do, but he steeled himself. His legs a shoulders width apart him being slightly crouched saber at the ready. "Aw does someone need a bacta patch for the burn?" Xilo said teasing the women wondering what she was doing but as the rock got picked up and launched at him Xilo made a oh shape with his mouth. Knowing he couldn't block both of the attacks he came to a impass. Deciding his next maneuvers carefully Xilo would let the rock hit him dead in his muscular chest. The hot rock burned his skin before bouncing off leaving a brand new pink burn on Xilo's dark skin. A laugh would exit the man's lips as the pain from the burn filled him with ecstasy and brought a whole new type of fun to the match.

The momentum the rock had been launched with helped Xilo as his feet changed position and he brung his saber up to not block but redirect the women's attack and carry her past him as he took a step to the side and back placing him outside her blades he'd raise his foot to kick the women in the rear. Following the attack Xilo looked at the women his yellow eyes with a look of joy. "Oh those weren't buns of steel I felt were they? Didn't feel like it." Xilo said poking fun at the women.

After getting redirected and kicked, Bellona skillfully landed on her feet. Her head filled with rage and her face quickly changed to match her internal feelings. In that moment, she thought of a thousand ways to kill him, and each one was more graphic than the next. After a quick glance in his direction, she let the rage flow out of her expression. On the inside she was still molten hot with fury, but she would not allow him to see it. He would not see that he was starting to annoy her in anyway. Bellona twirled farther away from her adversary and raised her left hand. She motioned him forward slowly, both sabers ready to rebuke him. It was high time for him to face her on her own terms. In that moment she made a silent promise that she would not fall to him. She was ready to strike him down with all of her pent up fury.

Xilo stood in the same spot from when he had kicked the women watching her as she landed on her feet after getting kicked in the rear. Yawning he raised his hand to his mouth to cover it. "Is this really the best you've got? Why are you even a Sith?" Xilo asked the women as she faced away from him. He made no attempt to attack her while her back was turned so when she twiled away from Xilo he didn't make a move on her. "Is someone angry? I can't tell but I think you are. I think you're mad that right now you're getting beat by someone like me. Am I right in this assumption? Hmm?" Xilo asked while he began walking clockwise around the women keeping a distance between them knowing that she was waiting for him to attack. There was no anger in Xilo, only enjoyment as he circled the women like she was the prey and he the hunter. His yellow eyes glared at her no signs of emotion behind them. He would give nothing away besides his sick smile from enjoying messing with her.

Finally realizing she wasn't going to make a move till he did Xilo sighed, and changed his stance this time the saber pointed straight at the women. Dashing forward as though he were going to stab her Xilo quickly came to a halt and changing his stance once again but this time both his legs were spaced evenly apart with the blade tilted at a slant. The stab had been nothing more then to bait the women into attacking.

(OOC:Not too sure if this is right so please correct me if I'm wrong about what he did!)

Bellona flipped backwards as he started running at her. As she got a far enough distance from him, she saw that he wasn't attacking at all. It had all been a ruse to lure her into an attack. Not very clever if she was being honest. "Honestly. I was expecting something a little bit...better, but life is full of disappointments." she said as she gave a wickedly cruel smile. Her lightsabers rose into a Makashi style stance before she beckoned him forward again. She would not tolerate this insufferable acolyte making her look bad in front of so many important Sith. It would not bode well for the young Kiffarian acolyte to be defeated by one so...crude.

"Trust me I know it's full of disappointments such as how for some reason no matter where I go I can't get a drink this early from any bar on this planet." Xilo said shrugging his shoulders as though the women's comment had completely bounced off of him which for the most part it did. He was never the type to get offended or angry even though most Sith were prone to it. He just happened to enjoy the fights he was in. "Or how I'm facing a stubborn Sith that is so insistent on getting me to attack first because she's to afraid of what will happen. Trying to impress others like they're her abusive, alcoholic parent's. Having to dance around in elegant dresses to show big daddy emperor she's the best." Xilo said before deactivating his saber and sitting on the ground crosslegged while having his head propped up on his hand. "Now be a sport and grab daddy a drink would you?" Xilo asked holding his hand up and shooing the women as though she were a insect.

 

[Bellona Vel]

Bellona gave an icy smirk as she drew closer to his sitting form. He had no right to treat he like she was some slave or a peasant girl from the outer rim. He would pay for his insufferable attitude. Her hand stretched out in front of her and she flung his lightsaber to the other side of the arena. In a flash, she flew at him like a Hawk-bat with a taste for blood. Her lightsabers were aimed right for his heart and lungs. The female sith would finally have the upper hand against her unruly opponent.

 

[Xilo Gale]

Why are people so insistent? I haven't even really been on the offense yet and she's once again rushing me. I wonder what drives her. What made her take on this role? Xilo thought to himself seeing the icy smirk take form on Bellona's lips. It was truly a shame that she thought she could break him. It was very rare for it to happen and Xilo had no plans on letting it happen midfight.

Xilo felt his lightsaber flung from his waist and could hear the metal cylinder clanging against the ground as it made it's way across the arena away from him. Yet there was not a ounce of worry in his eyes as the women rushed him, Xilo kept his cool or what could be considered cool for him and waited patiently. Both sabers pointing directly at his organ's he stared the women in the eye his yellow eyes meeting hers. A look of disappointment in his eyes. Raising his arms he'd use them and his elbows to push the blades away from his vital organs both sabers grazing his ribs. Both blades and their extreme heat bit into his skin the pain burning like both sides of his body was on fire. Yet Xilo would lock his arms around hers around the elbow and would pull her closer to him to where she was basically sitting right ontop of him before he'd pull both of his arms down in an attempt to break her arms.
