*Kite slips out onto another dueling ring, placed this time in a sports arena on Corellia. He is slightly surprised at the amounts of duels that he is taking place in, but hey! Duels are a great way to save time. He steps out into the middle of the field and starts to stretch out, spinning his staff around him and enjoying being in the grass while waiting for Riani.*

* Riani walked down the corridor ramp that led out to the Arena. Kite was greeted by the sight that the former Jedi Master was sans Jedi Robes and other trappings of her former life; save her lightsabers which hung from her utility belt that was about her waist. Upon her left hip hung a special rig that held her Discblade; the traditional weapon of the Zeison Sha.*
* She has changed a lot since the last time he has seen her. Here stood before him a woman that had endured some serious challenges and arose above them to become victorious. She was wearing a tight fitting black top that gave her freedom of movement while accentuating her feminine curves along with brown leather pants that had cross-stitching along the outside hem. The pants flared slightly at her dark brown leather boots.*
* Riani swept a stray blond hair from her blue eyes as she politely bowed with a polite smile to her opponent.*
Well met Master Kite. It's been awhile. I trust all is well with you. I thank you for this opportunity to test my mettle against you. * She said with a pleasant tone to her voice. She stood upright while she summoned a lightsaber to her right hand and her discblade to her left telekinetically.* We can begin at your leisure, Sir.
(( Weapons: Two Viridian colored lightsabers, Discblade, and the Force.))

*Kite bows to Riani, smiling as well, though happily. He notices the changes in her, and is glad to see them. He honestly misses Yanibar, and the short time he was in the Zeison Sha. He knows that he did not learn much from them, but hopes that any learning he gained was learning enough to tip the tables against her.*
Hello Riani. I am well and, from the looks of you, you are well... Am I correct?
I can not wait to test my skills against yours.
*Kite bows again to her and slips his hand to his belt, grabbing the compact staff and extending it so that it snaps into place. He twirls it, and thinks about what he has seen of a Zeison Sha fight.
He knows that they are very skilled Telekinetically and can handle a whole bunch of strain in that area. He knows that he is also skilled with Telekinesis, but probably not that much.
He knows that she is a former Jedi Master, and that she is skilled with a blade. This, Kite thinks he can balance out with his skill with his staff, and rumbling. Battle is his forte, after all.
He knows that she is very strong in the Force, as a Jedi Master must be, as must a Zeison Sha. However, he honestly doesn't know HOW strong. He is confident in his strength in that area, but honestly will not be able to guage that before hand.
He decides his strategy. He must overwhelm her in the Force and get right up in her face. That is the only way to continually counter her Discblade, and if she is mentally overwhelmed and overwhelmed in the force, that might knock her off the little bit that He needs to defeat her.
He starts slowly walking towards her, gathering the force within him and letting it flow through him, as the Force is the greatest weapon of a Wind Sage and, while he is not the greatest Wind Sage, he wouldnt be out-of-bounds saying that he is a god-damned good one.
He moves forward slightly quicker, at a jog, holding the staff in both hands. Once he nears her, he drops suddenly into a crouch and pushes back up and towards her, swinging the bottom of the rod up at her hip in a diagonal strike. As he does so, he releases some of the stored up energy he has in a force push toward her right hand, attempting to force it up just enough that the block she is going to attempt will me a little short.*

* She stood still as the Grey Wind Sage hurried toward her. Riani knew very little about the Grey order now. It seems they have changed a lot since her friend Lilian Rand was Kage. Some fundamentals still were true though.*
*The Grey Jedi believed in balance in themselves, in their views of the galaxy, and in the Force. They were trained to use both sides of the Force; something Ree expected to have to face. With her checkered past as the former Dark Lady of the Sith she knew full well the advantages and disadvantages of the Darkside. She was fully prepared now to face someone who could tap both sides.*
* Calmly she read his body language thereby she knew when he began lowering his body his attack would come in low. Still haven't ignited her lightsaber she angled her upper body slightly to bring her discblade in to block the strike aimed at her hip. His Force attack at her right hand was sufficient enough to cause her to drop her lightsaber to the ground, but quickly she bought her hand down to trap the attacking end of his staff against her body sustaining little damage from his intended attack due to the block with her discblade.*
* Shifting back to face him squarely quickly Riani launched her left foot to attempt to plant it into Kite's stomach as she slid the still engaged discblade farther down while pushing it away attempting to rip it from the Grey's grasp.*

*Kite smiles as the saber gets dropped and she engages both hands in the block. As she kicks out with her left foot, Kite lets go of his weapon, allowing her to move it away, and uses his hands to block her kick, one blocking it from the ankle, and the other from the knee. As he does this, he releases the rest of the energy he has gathered up in a force push over her knee, targeting her knee to try to jam or break it*

* Riani knew she was in trouble the minute Kite let go of the staff. She had already committed to the kick that he was attempting to block. Luckily by him letting go of the staff threw her off balance enough that his Force push to her knee was a grazing one. *
* Because of the weird direction she was struggling with the staff his Push actually aided Riani's fall as her body twisted almost completely around onto the dirt ground of the Arena. She landed on her back hard but not hard enough to faze her. She quickly summoned the Force denoted by her blue eyes shifting to blue chrome like mirrors. Instead of directing her attack directly at Kite she attempted to use Force Push on the ground in front of him to violently send dirt and tiny rocky debris at him to back him off of her as she got up and slightly limp back while summonings her lightsaber from the ground igniting it.*

*The ploy works, though only partially. Kite smiles at this, and completely regains his balance as she falls onto her back. He starts to slowly stand and gathers power to call his staff back to him as the force push to knock of debriss goes up. Kite moves backa step and covers his face and neck with arms, taking welts and slight cuts to each.
He shakes them a little, then redirects the telekinesis calling his staff to him, sending it, instead, spinning at Riani's legs, about knee height. As it closes in on her, he puts a little bit of the engergy guiding it to knock it off its axis slightly, so that it is spinning slightly diagonally as well to make it awkward to dodge without the force. Knowing that that defense is likely to be employed, Kite follows it towards her, staying a bit back and launching a full toe-lead kick at the side of her head.*

* Her instincts were to Force leap up and over the staff with a forward flip. But with her knee injured she couldn't take the chance of aggravating it more. So she swats it away with her lightsaber doing a low circular block. Slightly amazed that the Staff isn't cleaved in two by her blade.*
* With her adrenaline pumping hard the world around her slowed enough to see the kick aimed at her head. She dropped down with most of her weight on her right leg letting the kick fly over her head. As it flied over her head she took a page from Kite book and slammed a force push directed at his leg that was planted on the ground supporting all his weight. To keep him off balance she followed with an attempt to slash him with her discblade still firmly in her hand as she raised up attacking at the right side of his torso.*

*Kite smiles as she deflects the staff with her lightsaber and it does not sheer in half. That was expected by Kite but was likely unexpected by her.
Kite is mildly interested as she crouches as to how. He realizes that she must be mostly supported by her right leg. However that is of no consequence for the moment, as a force push comes in at his left leg. This push knocks him backwards and onto his back, which is a surprise, but what is even more of a surprise is the discblade the slips barely too high, cutting the top of his right shoulder and his clothing, but not inflicting a terrible amount of damage.
The pain forces his mind to go into overdrive. The world slows and goes red. However, Kite keeps his mind focused so he does not rage. He rolls to the side and pushes himself up, calling his staff to his grasp. He starts moving backwards to attempt to bait her closer or send her discblade out, spinning his staff infront of him with care, as the pain in his shoulder could make his grasp slip unexpectedly.
He then focuses the pain into energy, as a sith would, and uses the new found force energy to use force speed as he takes his first few steps and rushes her with that speed, swinging his staff at her left knee as soon as he gets in range, and then brings the end of the staff pointing behind him up and over in an overhead strike towards her right shoulder.*

* His recovery time was amazing from her attack, though she didn't let it show. She figured that he used the pain to charge himself like a Sith would. While it had the advantage of pushing back the pain temporarily; sooner or later it would tax him allowing for mistakes.*
* He rushed her with Force speed and attacked at her left knee. This meant he realized he had injured her. She quickly brought her lightsaber in front of her turning her torso to the left and blocks it before it hits her knee with a circular block to force the strike up away from her. Knowing that certain velocities of staff combat follow up quickly with the other end her block was designed to throw off the next attack of his staff, but it is only partially successful as the staff manages a glancing blow off her upper right arm. The blow will definitely leave a bruise but right now with her adrenaline pumping she barely noticed it.*
* As she cut short the circular motion of her block she turns her body toward Kite as she slashes at his chest from left to right quickly followed behind with her discblade held firmly in her left hand but aimed more at his neck. Giving him two options. One to back off or two to have his head removed.*

*Kite admires the block that Riani pulled off, the abnormally fast circular block, and smiles because it was only partially successful. He feels the staff thump into her upper arm and realizes the strategy that she used.
She is gonna try to force me to back off. Smart girl... Try THIS!
Kite smiles even wider, the thought crossing his mind faster than one could blink. He knows he only has a little time to not give her what she wants, so he follows the momentum from the last strike into a "fall", which was really a tackle since he controlled it slightly so that he is attempting to throw his right shoulder into her left knee. He hears the hum of the blade and feel the air movement caused by her weapons attacks going just over him as he attempts to tackle her from the right knee, his staff still strong in his grip.*

*She was surprised when he hit her left knee with his right shoulder as he tackled her. Pain shot up her leg as they both began to fell to the ground. To non-combative trained observers this wasn't looking good for her. The impact and pain causing her to drop her lightsaber to the ground, though she kept her presence of mind to hold fast to her discblade.*
*She instinctively knew how to fall to her back as to not take any damage. Kite had made a genuine mistake though. He had given her a shot at his back. She drove her discblade down aimed at a spot in between his shoulder blades quickly. Even if she couldn't drive it in deep on her own the impact of them both landing on the ground would help it sink in.*

*Kite gasps as he impacts Riani's knee with his wounded shoulder, but knew it was coming and did not brace so it did not hurt as much as it could have. In that jolt of pain, there was a suddenly clarity that comes with pain and shunting pain into the darkside. He saw the ground coming up and looked up to see Riani start her strike. He lets the force flow through him and uses burst of speed and drops his staff to grab her arm. As he wraps his fingers around her arm just below her elbow, he presses up and keeps the blade off of him as they crash to the ground.
Kite's shoulder jolts again as they hit the ground and he yelps, the pain nearly causing him to lose grasp and allow the discblade to hit him. He gathers the pain and energy he has and uses Force Lightening, shooting the lightening out of his hands that are still grasping her arm to attempt to shock her.*

* When they hit all his weight landed on her. She groans as her left knee sends another sharp pain up her thigh. Kite's firm grip on her elbow has most of her attention as she struggles to wrest it from his grasp.*
* The small hairs on the back of her neck begin to rise as the acrid smell of ozone fills the air. It could only mean one thing. Force Lighting.*
*Riani's eyes shift again as she internally summons Force Absorb. The world lights up for both of them. Given that he landed on top of her Riani struggles with him a moment to take in all the power he gives with the Force Lighting. When she has absorbed enough she take her right hand away from the struggle for her left elbow and makes a pushing gesture at him using Force wave on him to throw him as far away as she can.*

*Kite smiles as she starts to absorb my lightening. This was totally anticipated. He knows she is a strong fighter, a well trained fighter, and former jedi master. The next move, was all but chance, and he was praying. He notices that her hand is moving and uses that time to re-attach the full grip, hugging her arm as hard as he can as she uses Force Wave.
The wave hits him hard, and all he thinks about is holding on for dear life, basically wrapping the entirety of both arms around hers at and around the elbow. While he is gripping her elbow for dear life, he jerks his arms upwards to try to break her elbow by forcing it to go the wrong way. His arm is screaming in pain, but Kite forces the pain out, barely, and shunts it to his force power one last time to send a Kinetite at her ribs.*
