Round One - Knights Cathbodua and Heavenshield

[Coci Heavenshield]

The arena is set for the second annual Silver Sanctum Coalition Tournament.

Many Jedi have gathered to witness the ‘battles’ between the combatants, from Padawans to Knights and Masters, all battling to see who will rise to the top, who will be the cream of the crop?, the icing on the cake?, the best of the best?. It is early morning, the sun has risen to herald a bright new day, avian circle in the Voss sky, the flowers are blooming and the bees are buzzing and there is excitement in the air. And lots of chatter ..

In the arena there is a seat at the end of the room, on which Grand Master [member="Thurion Heavenshield"] will watch over the tournament. With brushed back golden hair, beard trimmed and a set of sapphire blue eyes, and a calming demeanour, the grand master will cast those wondrous eyes upon his Jedi charges and step in if and I say IF, the duelling gets ‘out of hand’.

Before the duelling shall commence, each combatant will acknowledge his presence with a respectful bow and so to, to your competitor, before they begin.

The idea of fighting was in itself not something she found amusing, fighting for a purpose was needed.... In this case dueling to practice and keep her skills sharp as the jedi knight worked with the nysillin plants. The healing harb was one of the things they had been working with Sakura to foster and grow for helping the people. It gave her a nice edge as the atrisian was looking at some of the things in the low light area. Her energies in the force seeping out to work with the plants.

She got the message about where and who she was facing in the tournament with a raised eyebrow. Letting the one droid read off the name of the boy as she bowed her head. "Very then." Moving over and washing her hands off from working in the dirt before she pressed the one button on the wall and her Iconiq bodysuit with the Amaretsu in a case next to it. She wasn't in the field, she wasn't in a war so having the two objects of her power were not needed. The holocron was there as well while she touched her secondary lightsaber.

Taking the time to get dressed as she secured the mask on her face feeling it seal around with the force weaved into the crystal down to the microscopic level. The armor was attuned to her like a second skin and she affixed the grapples to the wrists of the armor so she could use it with the toolkit wrist weapons. Switching them over to the crystal shots with the force energies and her own augmented force powers. The saberwhip in her hand attuned to her with the calming crystals and healing crystals within.

She was walking and slowly put on the more important parts. Slowly focusing on some of the things while she put the lightsaber on her hip opposite the saber whip. Her sigil of hope was there around her neck when she put the hood of the bodysuit up feeling the protective mesh of it as she came into the shell silk of the look. Crouching down a little lower while she was looking over some of the things there with a small bow of her head. She was ready for just about anything letting the force energies wash over her body rising up clasping her hands in respect waiting for her opponent to arrive and they could bow and be ready for a show.

The day had dawned, It is early morning, the sun has risen to herald a bright new day, avian circle in the Voss sky, the flowers are blooming and the bees are buzzing and there is excitement in the air. And lots of chatter .. and mother had set the scene.

Théo went to the arena the day before and read the note pinned to the door of the arena to see who he would be dueling come the morrow. Knight Cathbodua, Cath for short, well it is now. He knew her, had met her but once and that is knowing her! Oh so long ago when he was two years old, or was it three? never mind. He had escaped the horrors of the Jedi Day Care Center and found his way to the main room and longingly looked out of the double doors (now destroyed by [member="Maya Whitelight"]) and hoped for freedom. Which was dashed upon the white marble floor of the entrance (which is also destroyed by [member="Maya Whitelight"]). Geez!

Anyway ..

He had met the Knight there, sitting with her on the floor trying to have a conversation but for some reason, she could not understand him, she was sick at the time, maybe she had hearing problems too. He remembered she is a healer of the Sanctum, must be the worst patient ever! Considering she was sick...

And so Théo entered the arena, Belawir (his saber) clipped to his belt, that was it! Jedi Robes and Saber that is all you need, oh and the force of course. Now with linky things attached to words, he was ready. Walking onto the soft padded platform on which they will fight, he looked at his opponent from toes to tip of her hair? Well, she had come prepared! all manner of nasty attached to her body, what had she in mind? pinning him to the rafters? Hey that could be fun!

He took hold of his saber and gave Cath the one saber salute! (not what you are all thinking!) before turning to the chair on which his father sat. What's he done to his hair? he brushed it? honestly father has no idea of cool. Théo bowed to his father and gave him a wave and a smile before turning to Cath.

"Ladies first", he said with a cheeky smile.

She kept her senses on him now, the other knight entering as he spoke to her. "Hello again." There was something there, he did feel... granted it was under the heavy levels of her impassive nature and emotionless standing. Here and now though watching him a small look was under the facemask of the body glove as she focused. Letting the calmness wash over her body returning the salute with the lightwhip in her hand but deactivated for the moment as she moved it back to her side waiting for the first move.

THen he offered to let him go first and her initial instinct was from her masters training. Down the line for all of the things they had been doing before she was focusing. The force to enhance her mind and perceptions of the area around her and speed herself up. SLowly focusing on the knight while her hand moved up with one holding the lightwhip, the other holding the saber in the offhand. Her perception enhanced by nearly being blind in her age with the thin membrane over her eyes. Malacia was something she found useful for teaching as no permanent damage just nausea and vomiting.

She could see through the force as her mind reached out towards Theo but didn't go for overwhelming him. She worked on the force energy of him, to manipulate it slowly. The boy was talented, still and alert with everything functioning. Blood flowing, muscles tensing and releasing, inhalation and exhalation of the air slowly. She focused on it to manipulate it and constrict the blood vessels to slowly turn the natural processes against him in his own body. Remaining at the ready and using the time given to make an opening to her advantage.

Parents are very strange creatures, over a breakfast table they would bring up the subject of 'keeping one regular'. Father was a cereal and some weird sour milky thing man and that kept him 'regular', while mother preferred fruit, she was like a bat consuming that stuff and she would vow that would do the trick. Naturally, this line of conversation would put Théo off his breakfast and would only sit there playing with it pushing it about the plate. Théo was a eggs man! Fried, boiled, poached, and scrambled, it mattered not, with toast of course .. got to have soldiers!

And yet, he suddenly felt sick to the stomach, he must have had a bad egg for breakfast. For a moment, he held his stomach with a look of alarm on his face, either he was about to vomit all over Cath or .. well he was not sure which end, evacuation would take place.

Wait a minute, the duel had started and Cath was just standing there doing nothing. Or was she? The penny dropped, oh you sneaky thing! Lucky for Théo she had not gone in for the 'kill' immediately.

He lumbered toward her, holding his stomach and retching, the threat was obvious enough, she want's him sick well she will get it .. right down her front. Next time it will not be ladies first.

But as he approached, he waved a hand as if to indicated to stop the fight, but it was a ruse and from his hand the force twisted took hold of her ankles and he yanked her to the ground, to have her land on her bum.

She was looking at him and feeling it, the energies were there and the boy seemed to realize something was happening at first. she wasn't certain about what he knew about what she was doing until there was a feeling on her legs. The sensation of them going out from under her while she set her hands down to the sides pushing with the force to make a telekinetic cushion while she was looking at him. Keeping her senses in the force locked on him before she was reaching out against while crouched on the floor.

She could see and feel him in the force while keeping at the pressure with more of the attention. Slowly letting the force energies build out to constrict his stomach. He was looking sick the first stage so keep with that and work to try and let his ploy of playing sick become real. She could handle a little bodily fluids on herself to the bodyglove while she rolled to the side crouching and starting to slowly circle him. "THe symptoms will pass in time, no permanent damage except maybe to the clothing."

She had tightened her grip .. on his stomach? Oh you are evils missy! He directed this comment to her mind. Many, many years of conversation with Nina had taught him the fine art of Telepathy, couple that with Master Tann's training in mental defenses, he was able to penetrate her mind with ease, if she did not block him.

Now, Missy was much older then Théo, and fairly flat chested by the looks of her, poor girl. Not that Théo was looking! well yes he was, cause young teenage lad on the brink of puberty and all that stuff. But, he is Valkyri and so being has the constitution of an ox. Although the constriction on his stomach felt very uncomfortable indeed his strength would see him get through it. Valkyri men are four to five times the strength of your average humanoid male, but Théo, only thirteen years old, still has to grow into this, but stands tall with the strength of one couple that with the force and he can hold his own.

Belawir leaped to his hand and the white blade ignited, Time to Tango Missy. He had to distract her, take her mind off his stomach but no matter. The lunge came toward the crawling girl on the floor, You gonna pounce on me? He gave her a grin.

THe necklace shimmered with the mental touches. The sigils made to resist and protect from anything short of a phobis device. She was watching him as the force flowed freely with the concentration ebbing from the boy to instead focusing as the force energies let the duel slow down. Her lightwhip wasn't needed in close quarters and would only work so much while she moved quickly and flexed the force energies as well as the force tech of her suit. Rolling to the side and up with the gravity leveler quickly.

"Careful, telepathy can open dangerous doors." She was keeping it focused now to speed up her own body and letting the calmness from the pontite crystals enhance all of her senses. The pool of force energy she could generate was there in her chest while rising up and letting the release coming. The barely audible click of the locks to keep them in place as she preformed a falling leaf spinning her body to generate additonal force. One foot on the ground and rising to the toes of the boots.

The spin was quick but it got what she needed with the small hiss of the guide wires made from saber resistant and strong materials and weaved with guiding crystals. The multiple snap hisses of the whip as the crystals inside surged with the dark orange gold color. The healing and the pontite crystals in her hand when the nine tails of her lightwhip activated with their full force spinning around to lash at several points. She didn't always need to aim with it as the whips were made to cover a large area.

And that is what they could do nearly three meters long and letting themselve make a giant wall of blades. To smack into and wrap around the boy like several cords instead of just the none guided energy whips some used. More dangers and without limites or form most of the time. The other added benefit of the guides was they were made to be inside the containment field and resist the intense heat, once the energy met resistance they still moved with the force able to lash out and wrap around what was there delivering blistering levels of heated cord to skin.

As Cath leaped in the air, Théo allowed his momentum of the lunge to carrying him to the floor. His is not that tall as yet, by comparison to his father, and he has the advantage of lack of height in this moment.

He turned his body placing himself in a position to face her as she descended, her arms raised palms flat and directed to her, he expelled a powerful force push to her which would hit the wall of saber, she would not be stable in the air as her body would be twisting in order to use the whip effectively and so his hit would send her through the roof of the arena even before her feet hit the ground.

Théo jumped up back to his feet and quickly moved to the side of the platform waiting for Cath to come back down to earth. If he was going to let her do so.

SHe was watching him as the force hummed, her sigil glowing with the shielding and it was made for moments like this. Her reserves in the force simple enough as well as the calmness and harmony walking over her as she focused. The force energies letting her body react with the enhanced speed. The sigils had been worked on for everything, enhanced protection from most force abilities able to augment a jedi's will into an aura and shield that could protect them from most things coming at them.

She rode the force push tucking in for a moment while the whirring sound of the whip retracting the guides came. The force augmenting her body within the suit before the hissing sound came. She could use it better letting the force lift her higher and higher as the white cord shot out of the grapples as a liquid first. Slowly solidifying as it went through the air to the ground and anchored her. Slowly suspending her in the air before she pulled and retracted herself with the grapples to rapidly descend.

She actually had a small smirk on her face striking the ground, no need to go for a direct assault towards him. Instead she could send a shockwave of force energy to make the look of some things. Her head looking up while she moved clipping her saber to her belt and letting the force aura the armor and her sigil could create shimmer. Small wink from under her mask before moving in close with force enhanced punching and kicking. Her hands rippling with the channeled force energies while she threw the punch to try staggering.

First a left aimed at the boys stomach that moved with force augmented quickness to try and deliver the first initial blow after the shockwave. Speed carrying her through as her fist became an open palm towards the end to pulse a small blast of force push into a focused strike. Arm quickly retreating back as she moved forward to press it and struck out with a strike designed to go past the boys head and rotate her palm for a snap backed strike. To try and disorient him. Her training in the heavy gravity rooms making her faster and stronger in normal gravity.

Then she didn't let up, staying with it as her initial strikes were openings to a larger assault. Using the heavy gravity training she was more naturally accustomed to as her padawans learned excessive gravity. Pushing beyond the ten times safe limits thanks to meditation to twenty and with one who had been watching to make sure she was safe thirty five times normal gravity. so her muscles were fit and ready for anything to fight in a duel like this. Jumping a little and tucking her legs in to backflip in place and bicycle kicking.

Her kicks quick and fast while she was flipping to attempt the heavy blows under the chin and smack with force kick enhanced boots to knock him back or out. The jedi knight landing on her feet and still going while she twisted with a spin kick coming down and letting the armor work with gravity as well as the force speed. The attempted kick for a follow up to make sure it was driven in and she wasn't pausing with the blood rushing throughout her body but the crystals within her bodysuit keeping her in serene harmony.
