Round One! K'litch vs Zanear!

[Johnathan Kenobi]

This arena is guarded by a force field to allow the veiwers a safe place to watch the duelists. There are many weapons stocked in the arena,though after the duelists choose which weapons they will use they may not pick up any other weapons,though they must explain how they destroyed the force field to get to any bleachers or to get up into the stands.

Each Duelist may enter from the opposite side of the Arena from the other duelist. Well thats all,Have Fun and may the best duelist win.

[Zanear the Edge]

The Falleen enters the arena through his tunnel, coming out into the center of it all. Looking at all the weapons, he causally glances through them, seeming to take little interest as he awaits his opponent.

[K'litch Vang]

K'litch Vang's weapons:
Amphistaff
Coufee
Blorash jelly packets x3
Blast Bug x3
Thud Bug x3
Fighting claws

The Yuuzhan Vong warrior walks out of the made-thing corridor with his amphistaff, Fearstryker, in hand and enters the area to encompassing infidels screaming and booing him. He lets out a snarl of disgust before letting out a vicious sounding roar, possibly a battlecry of some kind, before looking at the Falleen at the other side of area. Lowering his head and gaze to the Falleen with what little respect for the infidel he can muster, K'litch Vang coaxes Fearstryker into a rigid staff as he marches towards Zanear.

[Zanear the Edge]

Zanear grins subtly as his opponent enters and snarls a bit, showing off with a battle cry. His demeanor remains one of causal disinterest, and he completely ignores the others lack of respect for him.

So much the better... he mused to himself. The Falleen had no real interest in the weapons laid out, his own pair of tonfa-style lightsabers would suffice for the battle ahead.

Weapons

Guard shoto (tonfa style) lightsaber (green colored): Opportunity
Guard shoto (tonfa style) lightsaber (red colored): Advantage

As the Yuuzhan Vong approached him, his smile was one of contempt, mirroring his opponent's attitude. Cocking his head slightly, he took a relaxed shoulder width leg stance, arms down and at his belt. His weapons were placed criss-cross patterned at the back of his belt, and with a simple motion could be brought forward.

By all means....I'll let you have the honor of first strike....

[K'litch Vang]

1/10

Remaining still and clutching the rigid amphistaff in hand, K'litch moves decides to move in slowly, he realized the the Jeedai will not attack first as their way dictates. As he slowly walks towards the Falleen, K'litch reaches into the small organic looking satchel on his side and palms a blorash jelly packet in his right hand, doing his best to keep it out of the Jeedai's sight. Although he growling at the Jeedai is constant, K'litch remains calm and begins to study his opponent. Seeing Zanear acting cool and calm, he decides now is the time to strike.

As soon as he reaches a mere two meters from Zanear, K'litch moves suddenly and throws the blorash jelly at the Jeedai's left foot. This is merely a diversion, K'litch hopes that the Jeedai will move to his right to avoid being trapped by the jelly and move into a strike, as K'litch quickly spins and brings a two handed grip to Fearstryker. As he comes around, K'lich brings Fearstryker level with where the Jeedai's ribs should be and swings the amphistaff in an upward diagonal motion trying to knock the Falleen up into the air and to the right.

[Zanear the Edge]

1/10

The being known as K'litch wasn't as arrogant as Zanear had originally believed. He moved cautiously and with fluid motion, bringing one of his living weapons out and tossing it at Zanears' left foot. Having seen such tactics employed in his studies, the rouge simply waved his left hand and pushed the blorash jelly farther to the left, the item splatting against the force field. Never removing his eyes from his opponent, the Falleen crouches low with his knees and quick draws his left sided tonfa Opportunity, holding the weapon so the length of it covered the bottom of the forearm, with the short end forward so that the blade could be extended from that position. However, he doesn't yet ignite the blade, instead simply swings his arm upward in a short arc to parry the strike more upward and outward, letting his physically stronger foes momentum put him off balance.

Immediately Zanear strikes out with his right hand, thrusting an open palm strike towards his opponent's inner right thigh, then stands and shuffles his feet back about half a meter. He then drew his other tonfa, held in the same manner but on his right hand. Again he sneers at his opponent, taking a demeanor of contempt for K'litch. He returns to the casual defense stance, affecting a bored disinterest.

[K'litch Vang]

2/10

With his first attacks blocked, K'litch appears to make a mistake; he allows the Jeedai in close and for his palm strike to land against the crab armor protected part of the thigh, the blow does little against K'litch's massive leg but its enough to make a additional half-stepwith his right foot. This throws off K'litch's initial flow and requires his to steady himself. As he spots the Jeedai's sneering look, K'litch comes to a stop on his heels, swinging Fearstryker into a two-handed grip with the snake-like head down near K'litch's waist. With scary speed and fluid motion, coaxes Fearstryker into whip form and shoots a preforms a high back flip to send him behind Zanear that transforms into flying knee at Zanear's neck/shoulder with his left knee. He suspects the Jeedai will move to avoid the hit and should lead into the Jeedai falling into Fearstrykers range. Raising Fearstryker in his right hand K'litch sends a slashing strike that is aimed to hit at the back of the Jeedai and run from his right shoulder and his left hip.

[Zanear the Edge]

2/10

K'litch, for all his size, was still quite agile and fast. But in this duel, Zanear would be faster, that was his..well, Edge..as it were.

As the WarMaster swings the staff two handed at waist level, the Falleen bends at the waist, extending his arms out and forward for balance as his rear is pushed outward. The staff still catches a bit of cloth, his shirt torn across the middle. Then, just as quickly, the weapon recoils like a whip, and the YV is on the move, leaping and flipping into the air! Zanear lurches forward into a front roll, narrowly avoiding the flying knee smash on his person. Turning on one knee as his roll was completed, he looks just in time to see the staff now whip, come slashing at him! Activating Advantage, the red blade leaps into life with a slithering snap-hiss of energy, deflecting the whips end away from him.

Sensing that this was his chance to strike up close, he taps into the Force to leap forward, landing directly in front of the YV while his whip was extended. He throws a left forearm shot at K'litch's face, using the tonfa braced under the arm, and slashes downward at his opponents left arm at the bend in the elbow, seeking to dismember his enemy and gain the quick advantage.

3/10

K'litch actually found himself in a disadvantage, Yun-Yammka appears to not show him favor possibly, this cannot be... he is but an infidel. K'litch is rocked violently by the Jeedai's heresy induced attacks and all this does is anger him. K'litch's anger snaps him out of it just enough for him to swing his down and out of the incoming strike of the Jeedai abominable weapon. K'litch knows that blow could have very well maimed him, the thought of being a shamed one sickens him, that only feeds his anger. K'litch is still in close to the Jeedai and reaches for Zanear's left wrist to pull it back so he can quickly follow up with a flying double knee, aiming his right knee to the upper rib section to the Jeedai's side and slight raising off the ground to plant the left knee on the Jeedai's jaw.

[Zanear the Edge]

3/10

Being in close was dangerous, his opponents strength and power could do real damage if given the chance. K'litch reaches out at the Falleen ne'r do-well and tries a grab at his left wrist. As his hand begins to clamp down, Zanear starts to roll it inward, the tonfa blocking K'licth from getting a full grip. However, the move delays him just enough so that the YV's jumping double knee strike hits him hard in the chest! As they both find themselves lifted for a moment, Zanear continues to twist his left arm, letting the front end get level with K'litch's right eye...and he activated Opportunity, the green blade leaping out to it's full length at close range...

The impact, along with the twist on his arm creates space, sending the Falleen flying back several meters. Landing in a heap, both of his blades disengage in mid-flight. Taking a hard breath, he nods in respect and gets back to his feet. Oh my ribs are gonna kill me later... he thought to himself. But putting aside such thoughts, he moved in close again, circling his foe as he grew closer, then when he was on K'litch's left side, he activates both weapons and feints a thrust with his right blade at his face, but instead crouches slightly and slashes at his left knee with his left handed weapon. As soon as he did, he returned to a standing position and slid his feet back about a meter, to create distance.

[K'litch Vang]

4/10

Being in close seems to be a dangerous place for K'litch as well, the Jeedai's inward spin doesn't allow him a solid grip on Zanear's wrist but his knee strikes land. That is when K'litch realizes that the Jeedai's weapon is pointing point blank at his face. K'litch tilts his head to the side and avoids the blunt of the Jeedai's weapon but is still struck, losing the top half of his ear with a perfect semi-circle gracing the edge. The pain does nothing more once again than fuel his rage.

As the two hit the ground, K'litch kip-ups to his feet and grabs another sack of blorash jelly from his pouch and goes to throw it at the Jeedai's feet when the Jeedai feints with a shot to K'litch's face. K'litch decides not to throw the jelly packet as picks up the move, watching for the true attack to the left and raises his knee so that the Jeedai's strike bounces off the shin plate of his Vonduun Skerr Kyrric armor. As the Jeedai withdraws to create distance, K'litch stops as well and looks at the Jeedai with contempt and anger but cannot deny the Jeedai's prowess in combat. K'litch coaxes Fearstryker to go rest around his waist and places the blorash jelly back in the pouch but pulls out a pair of Nang hul, a blast bug and a regular thud bug, and stands there motionless for a few moments with a gaze of determined anger gracing his horrific appearance.

"Krel os'a hmi va ta! Tchurokk Yun'tchilat! Yun-Yammka will bathe in your blood this day!" K'litch calls out before letting out a guttural roar and flexing his wrist in such a way that a pair of near meter long fighting claws extend out from the tops of his forearms at the wrist. The pain from using these weapons is excrutiating and quite reviving to K'litch; who goes berserker. As the claws reach full length K'litch attacks, tossing the thud and blast bugs at Zanear's feet and head and begins to enter a whirling dervish as he slashes, hacks, and stabs at the Jeedai's body and extremities. These are to get the Jeedai off balance before takes a quick step back before lunging forward, with his arms stretched out and coming from below, with a upward windmill slash. He then quickly spins his body and pivots around in such away that he the fighting claws then come down in the same motion but in reverse.

[Zanear the Edge]

Fierfiek! he thinks to himself, just missing the brain and the end of the duel. Better luck next time...

And then K'litch really gets mad, and changes tactics, switch from one organic weapon to another, then those nasty things come out of his arms. Ugh... he says under his breath. Man these YV just cornered the market on ugly... he thought once again, as K'litch moved in. The Warmaster tossed a pair of bugs this time, one at his feet and the other at his head. Tapping into the Force to leap above the one thrown at his feet, he swung his blades in a scissor motion at the one that somehow changed direction as he leaped, severing it in half. But before he even had a chance to make a move, the one tossed at his feet had missed him at first and hit the ground, the angle being too sharp to make a move, and exploded! The resulting wave of heat and fire sent Zanear higher into the air, the intense heat scorching his clothing and causing some flash burning along his legs, nothing too serious but annoying none the less. The added force from the explosion had him reaching all the way into the force field, but he had his feet under him, and he absorbed the impact and pushed off, now landing much farther behind the YV opponent.

Not that simple positioning would stop his foe.

Now K'litch charges at him, slashing and hacking and stabbing in a wild whirling rage. The Falleen however remains calm and centered, slightly crouched and legs spread wide as he moves, his arms and legs a blur as he moves to deflect here, parry away there, twist away over here, always moving backwards, giving ground but moving circular. It was at this point that K'litch moved back, then thrust both weapons forward and upward. Zanear thumbed the off switch to both his blades and placed his arms down on top of K'litch's weapons, the tonfa ends protecting him from damage. Flipping his body upward with perfect balance and control, he let the move toss him up in the air like an inverted gymnast, the Falleen twisting in a perfect spiral up and then twisting to face down again, now feet first. Landing with perfect grace his legs spread wide and crouched low like a serpent ready to strike. With the YV's downward slash coming hard at him, he leaped to the left, the blades swooshing by mere inches.

With his enemy's right side exposed he pounced into action, thrusting his left saber at his outside left shoulder, igniting the weapon once again at close range attempting to pierce the armor under the joint beneath the arm pit and bury the weapon deep, then at the same time slashing at his left kneecap from behind, igniting the right lightsaber as he swung, also attempting to dismember the leg beneath the kneecap. Spinning to his right he moved behind his enemy, bringing both weapons close together and swung them with the added momentum at K'litch's right waist, also trying to hack him in half.

[K'litch Vang]

5/10

K'litch had felt pain before, pain like no one imagined or could even begin to imagine, he was no stranger to it. The Jeedai found its way inside K'litch's guard with his demonic-aided abilities and K'litch felt the burn of the Jeedai's weapon; the lightsaber finds an open spot and pierces up into his shoulder before hitting the the underside of the Vonduun Skerr Kyrric armor covering his shoulder, the wound is enough to cause the right fighting claw to retract. Instinctively K'litch lifts his right leg up and avoids the slash to the back of it, the quickness of all this then sees the Jeedai trying to hack the K'litch in half. Keeping him safe from the truly devastating damage of the lightsabers, K'litch's armor protects him and makes the blows feel like a light clubing but its not as soft as it might sound.

Knowing that its going to hurt, a lot, K'litch somehow has enough connected tissue to swing his otherwise limp arm down and at the head of the Jeedi, hoping that he might get impaled by one of the large spikes growing off his armor as his dead weight arm comes down at the Jeedai. If he missed with this strike it means nothing because he follows up with a 180 turn of his own and comes across with his good arm and good fighting claw at the Jeedai's mid chest area. Setting his feet properly, he rasies his hip to 45 degrees, extends his leg and quicker than it takes to describle it, aims a powerful inside cresent kick, which comes down and around in an arching motion, with the armored inside of his foot at the Jeedai's temple for a knock out blow. K'litch knows the small half inch spikes on his ankles shouldn't feel too good against the Jeedai's face, he is indeed in for some delectable pain.

Zanear grinned. He'd scored another hit and his enemy was running out of options. But now was not the time to let up, put to press. The Yuuzhan Vong were known for their unstoppable fighting tactics, their fierce resolve, their inhuman penchant for pain as a pleasure sensation.

And amazingly, he still used his now limp arm as a weapon, swinging it at the Falleen's head. He slid his feet into a reverse stance, and swung his weapons as one to block the swing directly at the elbow joint, seeking to further make him pay for using it once again. Then just as fast, he switched it up and made a 180 mid chest level strike with his good arm. Zanear let his body twist back into the more natural facing that he planted feet were at and moved forward with his chest, bringing both weapons to bear and blocking the blow downward, using the point of impact once again as a springboard to launch his feet up and flip over the arm, landing right behind him with now both of then facing back to back, he turned quickly and brought both his weapons high, barely able to deflect the full force of the incoming crescent kick! Yet still his foot managed to glance along Zanear's jaw, the spike on his ankle slashing from his chin to the right side of his face, drawing a bloody line all the way to his ear! The impact was enough to send him up and back about two meters, with Zanear, landing flat on his shoulders. The landing knocked the wind out of him for a moment, the pain in his chest returning tenfold, the burning in his legs a minor distraction as he tries to gather his breath and recover. Thumbing the switches off, he rolls onto his knees and stands again slowly.

The Warmaster wasn't defeated yet, and even so wounded could still win this battle if he wasn't careful. But careful usually meant defeat, and he wasn't going to go soft now, and play the time limit game. He wanted a clear victory, and there was only one way to get it....

Moving back in slowly, he held his arms up in a boxers head guard stance, his foot work solid as he practically slithered towards him. He attacked once again, thrusting his right arm forward at K'litch's face, igniting the red blade at the full extension of his thrust. Swiping his left weapon out and at the elbow joint on the YV's right arm, he also ignited the weapon halfway through the arc of the attempted strike. He then leaned back, sliding his feet to brace his body with the right one directly behind him and the left directly in front. Bringing the two blades back towards each other, he angles them so that they cross each other and he leans forward, snapping his arms together to make a scissor cut at K'litch's neck, seeking to behead his enemy.

[K'litch Vang]

6/10

The block of K'litch's limp arm while well thought is off by mere centimeters, luckily for the Warmaster, and bounces off his crab armor. K'litch admires the infidel's resilience in battle but that changes nothing; he will kill the Jeedai. When the Jeedai goes down from K'litch's kick, the Yuuzhan Vong reaches for Fearstryker and with a fluid motion extends his amphistaff to full length and into a staff. As the Jeedai stands and takes his stance, K'litch is already twirling Fearstryker in a defensive figure eight to the sides of his body. When the Jeedai attacks, K'litch is easily able to deflect the shot to his face pushing it down and away and swings it around to do the same to the shot aimed at his injured arm. Finally, as the Jeedai goes to once again behead K'litch, the Yuuzhan Vong steps back and catches the scissoring tanfa lightsabers as they close.

K'litch is close enough to feel the heat radiating off the lightsaber blades, he flashes an uneven toothy grin at the Jeedai before pulling down hard and away hoping that the move not only disarms the Jeedai but that one of Fearstryker's poisoned fangs makes contact with the Jeedai's hand. K'litch then charges the Jeedai with the large spikes on his left shoulder, this is more of a distraction to get the Jeedai to pivot left, K'litch then shoots a knee at the Jeedai's testicles hoping to drop him. Considered a dirty move by some, which K'litch doesn't care, the Yuuzhan Vong immediately follows it up with a downward strike with Fearstryker and looks to embed the fangs of the amphistaff's snake-like head into the Jeedai's neck and shoulder area.
