Student for the Sky

[Sky'ito Yumi]

Sukai drew her sword back, sliding it along her hands before neatly placing it back into it's scabbard, a nice 'click' resonating from the hilt as it was locked into place while turning back to her... to be honest Sukai was unsure I student was the right word to describe Morrigan. She didn't look much younger then herself and from what littler she knew the women had been trained as a Jedi since birth, kind of felt like the roles should have ben reversed more so considering the women's unique powers and techniques. "Well it is always good to learn something new, I'll have to make a record of it, I am certain mother would like to know about this attack", now it was time to move to a new lesson, they had practices two force powers so it was only far to test how the Echani handled herself in combat. "Tell me Morrigan, how skill are you as using your blade"?

She looked at her master and spoke. "I am uncertain how to answer that, I have not faced real opponents in combat to see how it would work or function." She said it and waited for a moment while she stood there. "But back home, on our island. THe Children of the jedi work and train. I am one of the top bladesmen within the community so far. Second to Master Jarl who teaches all of us. With some of the creatures that are on the planet and the island we know there is a great danger." She had her blades though as well as her equipment and her armor. "Some of the creatures are more dangerous and we have worked to tame or fight them but we avoid most outsiders."

 

[Sky'ito Yumi]

Sukai gave a small nod while listening to Morrigan explain her past live on the islands, she seemed rather sheltered. "So, to summaries, you are one of your orders top duelist but have yet to properly fight someone from outside said order or actually experience combat"? Was that why the Order gave her as a Padawan? despite being trained since birth a Padawan that had not seen any combat? It made sense, Sukai was one of those that did wind up in some of the more heated combat areas. "Well, would you like to test your skills with a blade? I am certain my different play styles will give you a new experience to take to heart". Either that or her Padawan would absolutely destroy her in the fight, would be a strange occurrence.

Looking at her master as she summarized her years of jedi teaching into something simple.. she wanted to say it wasn't that simple but in was in some ways. She stayed on the island... she had preferred it while others went off and standing there before she bowed her head. The scar on her face visible though as she shifted on her feet to find a place and stand within the room itself. She moved a hand to hold the blade in one hand and her dagger in the other with a jar'lai style stance. Eyes focused and watching everything that was around her she might be in danger of missing. Where her master moved and where her master would be able to teach her.

Sukai say her Padawan begin to take the stance for the coming duel, herself circling around to a more wide position to give the two room in case things got complicated. Drawing her blade Sukai held it upright, in a stance known to most Astirian and Jin as Hassō-no-kamae. It was basic but powerful, a form used for defense and attacks though to most would look weak and for blocking only, unless [member="Morrigan Jeth"] had experience in this sort of thing, either way it would be interesting to see the women's reaction. Her fingers gripped around the hilt of Shishio, Sukai making a small 'come at me' motion with the blade, the idea was to test the Padawans skill and see what level they were playing on.

Looking at her master she moved quickly.... more serpentine in her movements and the blade shifted with a twist. For a large blade she knew how to use it with a slashing swipe... blade pointed downwards which reduced her reach but also gave her a massive blade sweeping to draw in close and she had her dager while watching. her move ents themselves were more fluid then bulky as she eased her breathing and was allowing herself ease of movement without completely lifting her feet and making a sound. More a glide across the floor of the training area going at her master with a neutral expression and stern eyes.

 

[Sky'ito Yumi]

Her eyes followed Morrigan with focus as she moved around, her attack exposing her back and in her mind something you shouldn't really do, but it served to make quite the powerful attack as her blade came around in full motion. As the blade came swing around Sukai sank to one knee, raising her blade in an angled position, letting Morrigans own weapon clash and skim across the top, deflecting the attack behind herself. With the attack out of the way she moved her wrist, so the tip of the blade was facing the Echani, Sukai pushing off the ground, going for a center thrust on the women in front of her.

She watched it and as the blade spun around and connected with her masters blade she could feel the impact and push at them backwards while she moved to present a smaller target for a moment and she turned her head seeing the thrust coming at her. She didn't flinch but moved to the side with her torso while her feet remained planted. Body twisting so that she was there sending her blade up to push back and lunging with her hand outwards to grab at the wrist and push. Her speed for trying to disable as eyes remained trained on her master. Where she was going with the force into her muscles as she stiffened a moment watching the movements and to work on her counter strike.

 

[Sky'ito Yumi]

In the lowers position she found herself as a small disadvantage, that being little room to move, Sukarno watching as her Padawans blade spinning once again threatanting to disarm her, the grapple attempt not going unnoticed. This fight was most defiantly a test of speed then anything else, she would need to fight slightly differently then usual. As Morrigan went for the grapple Sukai pulled her blad back disengaging from the lock, rolling behind and sending a shrap kick toward her had to deter the grapple, keeping her momentum up to hopefully push up and get back into a standing position.

Her vision slowed, heart pounding in her ears as the blade moved back and her masters arm out of range from her grappling. The kick slowing coming as Morrigan didn't dodge it but she went with it using the kicks strength and speed to accelerate her rotation of the blade when the hilt was kicked to swing around with the blade she her arm felt the impact and the muscles tensed. Her grip getting stronger to keep hold of the blade and not let it go flying away when she focused on closing the void between them with her blade slashing through. the air. Her eyes tracked and she could feel the wind in the slash working with the force to become more like a vacuum and suck in the things around them closer to making dodging harder.

 

[Sky'ito Yumi]

Sukai rose to her feat, reposition herself and bringing her weapon back up to the original stance she was using, quickly going through Morrigans fighting style. She was like a spinning blade constantly turning her sword as she spun adding a good amount of momentum, hard to block but not impossible to counter. As the blade came around for another swing Sukai performed her own slash, making the blade clash against each other with force her muscles getting tense with the power of the blow but she held. Such a lock would do anything Sukai choosing keep moving, letting go of the handle with one hand, performing her own spin around and sending an elbow towards the Arkania face.

Her master was faster... faster then she expected and stronger for their size. It was impressive as the arkanian offshoot was letting the force flow through her body and within the blade lock she rotated back as Sukai spun to make an atack. her body bending with a few pops of the bones and joints while she bent back with her legs and the blade passed over her head. She shot herself back up holding the blades in her hands as she moved and slashed with the smaller blade while rotating in her hand the longer blade to build up its speed and come for the overhanded strike downwards. The dagger slashing in a quick arc to try and cover where her master might try and dodge to.

 

[Sky'ito Yumi]

Getting into close combat with a duel wielder was not a wise choice the two oncoming blades. As the dagger came all she could really do was perform a simple dodged using the force to make herself leap over the strikes sideways and lad to the right of Morrigan. Being in the air was not an ideal position but with the way her Padawan fought with the spinning actions she was not certain the women had the ability to suddenly change direction with all the build up momentum of each swing. Upon landing and hopefully range away from the spinning blade of death that was her student Sukai performed a feint thrust with telegraphed into a swipe with the blunt end of her Katana.

Her master was faster then a normal human.. she observed it but she was not certain what the species or half species was. THe galaxy was large and it could be anything as her eyes tracked the fighting... her master dodged back and came at her as Morrigan continued using her twirl and spin to keep the momentum up when she watched the attack coming in and used the speed increase to come back around several heartbeats before the blade could come in and go for the heavy deflecting to strike it to the side. She diudn't lunge up focused with the force to pull and use the displacement of air to alter the environment with a whirlwind trying to pull at her master and bring them in closer to strike at and use her upper body strength to smash her aside.

 

[Sky'ito Yumi]

The two blades clashed with an almighty sound, more or less bouncing off one another form the shear force behind the each attack, sparks flying from the metal blades, once again distance being put between the two. That was until the pull from the wind cam, causing Sukai's rough footing to come lose, almost tumbling towards her student. So far nothing blade worthy had worked against the whirlwind user, well anything to oppose her, but there was one thing she hand't tries. Letting herself be dragged in Sukai placed her blade behind her, letting it connect with the women's larger sword but as the two contacts she bends down, riding the momentum of the enemy blade letting it pass over her head trying to work her way behind the sword. If she did Sukai would then suddenly push down on the back of Morrigans blades, trying to quickly disarm her and if possible follow up with a butt stock hit to her face.

Morrigan felt two things... first her blade was being stopped and it was locked for the span of a heartbeat... second her face was stinging as something smashed into her cheek sending her head back almost violently. She was reeling and didn't have full sense but instinct of when something was between two points as she used her fall more like a snap to try and send her master into the ground with her. THe warm sensation of blood trickling from her nose and mouth as she tasted copper on her tongue, sniffled mucus and blood before hacking up a green and red ball from her throat that she spat off to the side. The stinging pain of what would be a bruise would be there but also the pain in her neck from her head snapping back and then forward with the impact against the ground as she closed up sending her legs downward making her back pop and release tension.

 

[Sky'ito Yumi]

Her attack just barley seemed to work but not without it's own problems as it seemed Morrigan aimed to take her down a sudden unseen force making Sukai more or less face plant into the hard ground. Her entire body shook, a headache times 100 pain coursing through her brain from the impact, her left arm not faring well either as it too slammed against the surface with a similar force. Still, even if it hurt she had suffered worse in the past, Sukai using a small force push to propel herself back up and standing, blade at the ready once more a noticeable graze on her forehead. A small amount of blood forming on the wound but for some reason unknown to Morrigan said wound seemed to clot up and begin to heal rather quickly.

Looking at her master getting up had the padawan rolling over onto her chest and then she was pushing herself up with a look up. Her nose was in pain and she could feel blood on her face still when she got up turning around to look at her master. Eyes watery for a moment but she wiped it and the blood away. She snorted for a moment then sneezed getting some of the blood filled mucus but she watched her master's wound heal. Something strange where she was looking and looking at the jedi though she moved. "THat was rather fun to learn master." Looking at her though she was prepared to keep battling and practicing but gripping her blades she had come to learn more then just saber skills.

 

[Sky'ito Yumi]

Sukai could smells her the blood in the air, her attention changing to the wound inflicted upon Morrigan's face, the crimson liquid being a slightly guilty but also, tasty site. Wait tasty? 'No now it not the time to get hungry' she couldn't use her new padawan like that... could she? Maybe if the situation was explained properly such would be the case, but for now Sukai needed to resist the urge to lick the other Jedi in face. "Fun? ah yes it was an interesting experience, you certainly are a very skilled sword women", it seemed as if the two were evenly matched in that area, even if she had more or less won the duel in the end. Perhaps she should talk to her brother about some private sparing to get a little edge up on her apparent Padawan, "anyways perhaps we should leave it there for the time being, and maybe get your nose fixed up a little".

Listen to her master and something was there... a small flash of thoughts but then it was gone and Morrigan hadn't caught all of it... just a strange notion and a feeling of weirdness. Before she was moving though her blades were in their sheaths and she walked over towards her master with a nod of her head. "Understand master." She said it with a smile on her face as she looked forward and wiped at her nose but she was moving to get one of the medical droids. THe bleeding had stopped for the moment and she was sitting there with her eyes looking towards her master wondering what the next leson was going to be or what the next step was. She was excited almost and practically vibrating from the aftermath of the duel.
