Everest's day started with a certain diligence. She had found a spring in her step all week that was serving her well in all the beginner classes she had been taking part in. Even lightsaber training felt like it would be something enjoyable to her, and on a day she finally had to herself she had decided to invest the time in improving that skill, even to a preliminary level. So she had endeavoured to set herself up with a training saber in one of the dojos with a sparring droid.
Eve ignited her training saber, its blue blade protruding out as she reached gently through the Force and activated the droid's power. The rickety old thing sprung to life before her, focusing its attention on her immediately. It began to step towards her, suddenly finding its fluidity.
"I-ni-ti-at-ing-com-bat-trai-ning-pro-ce-dures," it rattled in a synthetic, monotone voice as it produced its own saber from its chassis. A sharp hiss reverberated through the dojo as another blue blade illuminated against the dojo floor.
Without a second's hesitation, the droid started swinging at her with relentless ambition. An overhead strike, a leg sweep, and a barrage of quick attacks to the centre, Eve found herself stepping back in defence immediately, losing any ground she may have once hoped to keep. It was too much. The droid's strikes were far too strong and agile, and Eve began to panic.
"Oh no, oh no no no, wait, wait!" she pleaded with the machine as she desperately tried to defend herself.
"Stop! Turn off! Deactivate! Sleep! Finish! C-close?" she squeaked, stepping back in fear as the droid maintained its attacks, entirely unresponsive to her plea, and before she knew it she had tripped.
She gasped, winded, as she landed on her back dizzy and panicked. The machine loomed over her, its onslaught still not giving in, and as she held up her blade helplessly in defence - entirely unaware that an onlooker had entered the dojo - she gave a very uncharacteristic
squeal for help.
Jonyna Si
had rebuilt and fixed. It was well lived in now. Aris smiled ever so faintly as he looked through the halls, hearing people walking it's halls. Training, talking, learning. He had to learn some things himself sill. He'd been neglecting his original goal. The different forms, how to master them even with his inability to use the Force. How he could still teach others regardless.
Braze
was seeming to really get into it himself, from what his dad had told him. Aris glanced to the lightsaber on his hip, brow furrowed in thought. When was the last time he'd actually used it? He paused his walk though as a different sound filled his ears. Training, but panic? He sort of picked up the pace. Not quite a hurry, but enough to be moving more than his leisurely walk before he peered into the training room with a curious brow raised.
