Round One! K'litch vs Zanear!

[Zanear the Edge]

6/10

Expertly the WarMaster defends against Zanear's strikes, and is already in position to counter attack. His smile gives away his thoughts, although not in the Force as most beings would. Zanear knew he would be out muscled here....

With the strike ripping downward, the Falleens' arms swing out wide, his left tonfa catching the edge of Fearstrykers fangs, causing the weapon to tear away from his hand and fly a few meters, the blade shutting down and the lightsaber clattering on the ground. He frowns mentally, but can't worry now, too much else to think about, and react to! When K'litch charges, he turns his body sideways to the right, and starts to slide backwards, but the edge of his shoulder catches the Falleen, driving several gashes all along his right shoulder. Stumbling a step, and with the momentum of the impact, he looses footing and starts to fall, only to be smashed in his gut by a knee, his lost footing the only thing saving it from being his Falleen Family Jewels being crushed. That move then sends him onto the ground and back about half a meter. When Fearstryker comes down at his shoulder and neck, Zanear rolls away to the right, the weapon missing him by mere centimeters.

With the enemy's weapon down, he had to move, and fast! Tapping into the power of the Force, he used Force Speed to do a kick up, landing on his feet in less time then it took to blink, and swung his red bladed lightsaber in a blur at the center of Fearstryker, seeking to end the living weapon that was such a danger to him. Still moving at blazing fast speeds, he flicks the weapon up and tries to slide it into the spot under K'litch's arm that he had already damaged, running towards his back and twisting the handle back and forth, trying to really do him in while he had a chance. Soon he was within reach of his other weapon and he backed up towards it, using his left foot to kick it up and back into his hand. He gripped it once again, and took a wide spread defensive stance, with his right blade diagonally downward centered around his waist, and the other unlit and held in the upper arm bent elbow high guard position.

The Jeedai was slipping up, he must know little of the Yuuzhan Vong amphistaff for they do not break that easily, and his brutish attack does little more than bounce off the rigid living staff when K'litch twists Fearstyker inward at a slight angle to parry the strike. The Jeedai is becoming more predictable in his attacks and K'litch realizes this as he Falleen once again attacks his injured right arm; K'litch pivots on his left foot to dodge the attack and kicks the blade away from him to create a little room. K'litch brings Fearstryker forward and goes to catch and then arc the two tanfa lightsabers up and away to open the Falleen's guard when the Jeedai drops back into a defensive stance, forcing him to switch tactics mid-attack.

K'litch takes a step back himself, about a meter and a half, and takes a position where his left shoulder is leading and his right arm is behind him out of the way. His feet are positioned similar to his arms, his left foot pointing at the Jeedai while his right foot is pointing out and away from his body. As the Jeedai stands there, K'litch once again moves in stepping foot over foot while spinning Fearstryker in a figure eight motion around the front of his body to defend his advancement, the speed at which he twists the living weapon is blinding. As K'litch begins to swing Fearstryker upwards, as it comes around from the right, he steps in suddenly and slips his grip to a lower position on the amphitaff's long body, extending Fearstryker to come down and across the face of the Jeedai in a diagonal clubing motion. He keeps with the momentum of the strike and swing Fearstryker around in the same fashion but coming from the left this time before pivoting sharp on his left leading foot to deliver another powerful shin kick to already beaten gut and rib area. If the kick lands true, the kick should be more than adequate power to break ribs and leave the Jeedai writhing in sweet pain.

7/10

Zanear was surprised. He couldn't believe that even with Force Speed, K'litch had kept up with his movements. And the amphistaff was much tougher than he reckoned. It's at this point that the YV warrior moves back and begins to twirl his staff, the speed blinding to most beings but Zanear can track it by using the Force to adjust his own perceptions. When he lets the weapon slide to give it length, the Falleen swings his lightsaber up and across, the red blade parrying aside the strike at his face at the last instant. K'litch recovers and swings the weapon back again, this time from the left, but his foot placement is off, and so Zanear twists his body to the right, batting downward and away at the weapon strike as the kick comes sailing in! His ankle spikes catch on some fabric, tearing a slash along Zanear's upper thigh as the foot goes past.

Lightning quick, the Falleen ignites the other blade and brings it from under K'litch's kneecap trying to sever it at the joint from underneath while he swings the red blade down at the top of the kneecap, again using the scissor motion to sever off his opponent's leg! Then just as fast, he flicks his left handed weapon up and aims for his enemies throat, seeking to enter and remove his enemies throat.

K'litch, seeing that he is about to be maimed, quickly thrusts the head of Fearstryker in the path of the incoming saber strike, blocks the undercutting strike to the back of the knee and locks it long enough to draw his leg back to safety. Keeping up with the Jeedai as best he can, K'litch pushes for with Fearstryker, swings the amphistaff up and away to open the Jeedai's defense and then swings the spear like end of Fearstryker around to attack and aims a piercing blow at the Jeedai's leading shoulder.

8/10

Zanear had put K'litch on the defensive, and now he struck out trying to open up his own defense. When Fearstryker swung up and away, the Falleen spread his arms out wide and bent his body backwards, moving his chin down to his chest as he back flipped, pushing off with his feet and adding the Force to his leap, letting the spear end of his opponent's weapon catch nothing but air.

Landing several meters away, he grins. Taking a centered defense stance, he nods at the YV WarMaster, and awaits him to press the attack.

The Jeedai was stalling, trying to catch a breath by moving back, this thought drives K'litch to show that a true warrior needs no rest and knows no pain greater than the divine. K'litch once again enters the defensive figure eight formation around his body, swing Fearstryker around and in front of him as he presses forward. with his injured arm behind him, K'litch grabs the handle of his couffee that rests on his thigh and grips it tight. He lets out a vicious roar to hid the initial pain, that is when K'litch realizes that the grip on his couffee is only his ring and pinky fingers and his thumb. It was a weak grip, not as weak as say a infidel's, weak by K'litch's standards. It doesn't matter, all he needs is a well aimed shot.

After K'litch comes around from the right side to his left with Fearstryker, K'litch strikes out with the head of the amphistaff down and across while spinning with as much momentum as he can muster before dropping down low. As he crouches, K'litch uses the momentum he gained to swing his limp arm forward with the couffee grasped and goes for a slice of his own at the Jeedai's thigh, he aims for the main artery in the infidels leg as he also extends Fearstryker to hit the Falleen in the face with the amphistaff's snake-like head.

9/10

The Yuzzaan Vong warrior moves with vicious intent, and the Falleen moves to defend from his two-pronged set up attack. Moving his arms up like an 'L' shape, he brings the two blades together and plants his feet, twisting at the waist and swinging with all his might to directly block Fearstryker! As soon as the weapons clash, and K'litch goes low, the Falleen presses down on the amphistaff and puts his weight into it, lifting his feet off the ground and flipping his body up and over both weapons, landing like a gymnast on the other side. Then the end came back up, Fearstyker aiming at his face, but with his back to K'litch, the weapon bit into his right shoulder! Dropping and rolling forward, cursing in about a dozen languages, Zanear stopped and steadied himself. Both shoulders were throbbing with pain, and yet he needed to continue....

Focusing his thoughts on the contest and not the pain, he moved in once again, thrusting his right blade at K'litch's neck and slashing his left at the wrist holding Fearstryker. Almost immediately, he brings his right down and slashes at his left kneecap once again.

10/10

K'litch watches the Jeedai move with heretical grace and realizes what he must do to beat his Falleen foe; he must make a sacrifice. As he comes back to a stand, K'litch readies himself and spins sharply on his heal and comes around to face Zanear as he goes to block the shot to his neck by bringing Fearstryker around in a vertical grip to push up and to the right to try and open up the Jeedai's guard enough to slip a parting gift through. The plasmablade almost passes by K'litch but this wasn't At that moment, K'litch feels the sting of the Jeedai's lightsaber as it severs his hand at the wrist, Fearstryker is taken out of the equation.

This pain was divine enough to send a rush of adrenaline through him, his eyes dilate in a snap moment of clarity and focus. He kicks at the lightsaber to push it out of the way and he lets out a guttural warcry and swings the arm, still clutching his couffee, and goes to drive his blade in between the already damaged ribs of the Jeedai to finally bathe in the Jeedai's blood as he so promised Yun-Yammka.

10/10



He'd made his move, and was right there, right on the edge of beating this monster of a foe, when the unthinkable happened. Zanear had gotten in close, and K'litch sacrificed his own hand to get in one last shot...

With his left blade kicked out and away, he swung his right low, but it simply was too slow, the couffee smashed through the end of his lightsaber, driving deep into the Falleen's side. Sputtering blood from his lips, his grimace curls into a smile as he leans forward, dropping the shattered remains of his right handed tonfa and grabbing for his arm to pull them closer. Staring into the eyes of his enemy, his grin is followed by blood-speckled words. Well fought....

And leaning closer, he drove home his left handed weapon directly at K'litch's heart as his own life blood spilled out...

[Lord Zairon]

A very well done duel.

Zanear is the winner and will move onto the next round with a lead.
