Round One! Paymon vs Luke

[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.

[Luke Skywalker]

Luke enters the arena, unlit lightsaber in hand. On his belt is his shoto. He is dressed in his usual black jedi outfit. He waits for his opponent to arrive.

[Darth Paymon]

A cold wind rushes through the arena,the door on the opposite side of Luke opens. Paymon steps through,his long white hair going down his shoulders,he grips the hilt of the sword that is concealed in his cane,weapons on his belt are his two lightsabers and then tucked in under his cloak and back guard is another lightsaber. Though Paymon's greatest strength is the force that rolls off of him like a series of waterfalls.

Giving a bow to his Nephew,"Dark Greetings. Shall we begin,my nephew?"he asks,removing his sword from its holster and giving him a Bladesmaster Salute.

[Luke Skywalker]

"Whenever you are ready, make your move Uncle." Luke ignites his lightsaber and salutes the other duelist. The jedi centers himself in the Force and focuses on his opponent. He then strikes a defensive pose and waits for his uncle.

[Darth Paymon]

Paymon laughs,"Foolish Jedi..you should've took your move while you had the chance."Paymon charges at Luke,pulling his sword up in his right hand he moves to attempt a slash down from Luke's right shoulder to his left hip,then while turning his body in a spin,he jumps into the air attempting to spin around again,and plant a roundhouse kick directly in Luke's left temple.

[Luke Skywalker]

Luke somersaults forward on the ground, under both attacks, coming up behind Paymon. Facing Paymon's back, Luke uses Force Pull to bring Paymon backwards towards him and slashes with his lightsaber from his back right shoulder to his back left hip.

[Darth Paymon]

Paymon laughs,spinning he goes with the force pull,bringing his cortosis sword up to his now left shoulder,holding it at an angle,he snickers as the blades clash,knowing that unless Luke pulls his blade back,this lightsaber will be shorted out by the cortosis. Paymon then pulls on the force,preparing for a powerful attack,he brings his sword around in a slash parallel to the ground going straight across Luke's midsection beginning at the left side and attempting to finish at the right.

[Luke Skywalker]

Luke senses Paymon's change in direction, and shuts his lightsaber down. He also uses Force Push to move Paymon and himself in opposite directions, away from each other. He stops a few feet away, drops into a defensive stance, and reignites the lightsaber. He grins at his uncle.

[Darth Paymon]

Lowering his stance,and pushing his feet into the ground causes him to only slide back a small amount,he chuckled,"Your worthless,Jedi."he said,spinning his blade in his right hand,still holding the scabbard in his left hand,watching his nephew slowly,he continued to pull in the force though he did intend on letting it out soon,but for now,he ran at his Nephew then jumped up with all of his strength,then using the force of gravity to his advantage he brought his blade down in an attempt to stab Luke in his left shoulder,then spinning away from Luke for a moment then snickering,"You may be able to dodge my sword,but this is something you can never escape."he said,then he placed his sword in his scabbard,and held it by the hilt of the cane in his left hand. Raising his right hand he unleashed the force in one powerful force storm (Wormhole).

[Luke Skywalker]

Luke leaned backwards and received a glancing blow from the blade, cutting his clothing, but leaving no mark on his body. Having been attacked on at least two previous occasions by this Force Power, Luke surrendered his will and his actions to the Force and achieved a state of Oneness, allowing him to unleash an attack of Force Light to counter the Force Storm that Paymon had released. After the counterattack was formed, Luke allowed the Force to guide his hand with the lightsaber to strike at his weakest spot, slashing at his neck from right to left.

[Darth Paymon]

Paymon's red eyes glowed with anger,"I see,so you've decided to get serious."he said after speaking the incantation to a forgotten sith spell,Summon Darkness,that protected him from force light,though it only gave a barrier to protect him from it because he had used such a powerful force power only seconds before.

Paymon moved his hand quickly to grab the hilt of his lightsaber,pulling it up quickly his crimson blade came to life with a powerful snap-hiss by finishing this maneuver it proves his mastery at Trakata,which is where the combatant took advantage of the lightsabers ability to be quickly turned on and/or off. Paymon had pulled the blade up directly to the right side of his neck,by only using a one hand grip on his hilt Luke's blade made contact to his neck,Paymon grinned,taking a jump back.The thick warm blood that poured down his neck was almost a shade of black.

"Nice move,my nephew.It will be the last time your blade will ever touch me."he laughed,the dark side called to him now,and surely now he knew he would kill his nephew.

Paymon touched his wound,the pain from the cut angered him,this easily strengthened him,Paymon launched at Luke moving to attempt a slash from Luke's right shoulder to his left hip,making a side step and a spin to get behind his nephew,he attempted a stab directly through the back of Luke's left shoulder.

[Luke Skywalker]

Luke countered the slash, adjusting his weight on the balls of his feet. As Paymon moved behind him, Luke began to step forward and move away from Paymon's position. At the full length of his stab, Paymon's lightsaber penetrated the fabric and barely entered his left shoulder. Luke rolled forward to move clear. Luke stood and momentarily moved his left arm, checking the damage of the stab. Though painful, he still had full range of motion. Cauterized, it was not bleeding.

Luke stretched forth his left hand and unleashed Electric Judgement on Paymon. He immediately followed this up with a slash from Paymon's left hip to right hip with his lightsaber.

[Darth Paymon]

Paymon laughed at Luke..watching him then he felt Luke pulling on the force and raised his lightsaber,watching the electric judgement leave Lukes hand he grinned,letting his lightsaber absorb it easily,then by spinning the blade he brought it up,using both hands,and channeling Djem So,he watched as the blades clashed. "Your good,nephew..but I'm better."he thrust his blade towards Lukes saber hand,attempting to cut it off from the top to the bottom. Then he spinned his blade,moving to a back hand hold he attempted to stab Luke straight through his heart.

[Luke Skywalker]

Luke parried the attempt at his lightsaber hand. As Paymon began his stab at Luke's heart, Luke turned sidways and deflected the stab away from his body. Using Force Pull, Luke continued Paymon's momentum in the direction of where he had been standing. He then slashed at Paymon's left arm as spun to a defensive stance behind him. "One might think you were serious about this Uncle." Luke grinned.

[Darth Paymon]

Paymon went with the pull,but spinned his body and raised his blade to parry his nephew's attack,jumping back into his open stance,his blade was lowered to a mid hold,still in a back hand hold. Paymon tossed his cane to the side,finding it useless at the moment,then he pulled the saber from his hilt,igniting the crimson blade he held them both to his side,suddenly a chain left the tips of both hilts and linked together in the middle. "This is my latest creation,Luke. It connects both of my sabers together,and gives my blades more power by connecting both powercores,it also adds a few new attacks to my arsenal,be honored that you will be the first person to die by this new weapon."he said then jumped at Luke crossing the blades he came at Luke's waist and made a set of slashes with an attempt to make each blade go from one hip to the other and cut him completely in half.
