Matching Strengths (Kyle)

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan was waiting in one of the sparring rooms for Kyle Krogen. Having met him a while ago during a fight with some Sith, and also running into him now and then, Rog asked him if he would like to spar him. Kyle agreed, and so the time and day was set. Now Rog was waiting for Kyle to show up so that they could begin their fighting match.

[Kyle Krogen]

The door to the sparring room opened and in walked Kyle. He looked around and spotted Rognan. He walked toward the Jedi Knight, He was wearing the typical brown Jedi robes but didn't have the long outer robe on and his lightsabre dangled from his belt

He smiled "Hey, sorry for being a bit late Rognan" He apologized "I got sidetracked on the way here."

[Rognan Dar]

"No worries. Glad that you made it. Should we get started?" Rognan said, not really asking as much as saying that they should. Taking off his white robe he placed it down on the floor next to the wall. He then moved out into the middle of the room and took his saber off his belt, holding it in his right hand.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle moved forward and stoped a few feet from Rognan. He pulled his lightsabre from his belt and held it in his right hand also. He eyes his oppenent for a moment

Snap-Hiss

His lightsabre sprung to life and highlighted his face with its purple glow. He smiled a little and waited for the knight to activate his own sabre.

[Rognan Dar]

In suit, Rognan also activated his saber. The lightsaber came to life, humming as he held it. He moved the balde infront of him at hip height, going up at a angle.

Without warning Rog sprung forward with his lightsaber leading the way. He slashed from his left at mid section, then followed it up with a verticle down slash.

[Kyle Krogen]

kyle jumped back to avoid the first slash, He then moved forward only to find a second attack coming. He ducked down and held his sabre in both hands above his head to block the the sabre

He then rolled to the left and came up in a crouch and slashed at Rognan's feet.

[Rognan Dar]

A quick, little hop put the danger away from Rognan, and left him with a small opening for an attack. With just his right hand he slashed diagonally at Kyle's right shoulder.

[Kyle Krogen]

Fell onto his back and Rognan's blade flew over him, He Sprang off the ground and back onto his feet. while grivving his sabre in both hands again, he thrusted the blade strait at Rognan's mid-section.

[Rognan Dar]

Bringing up his blade from his last attack pushed Kyles lightsaber up. And asit went up, Rognan went down and planted on hand on the ground and kicked out at Kyle's knee.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle coundn't avoid the attack and fend of Rognan's sabre at the same time, so He used his other foot and kicked it at Rognan's incoming foot in a attempt to hit it away before it could hit his knee.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan's foot was kicked aside. But with Kyle's saber for the moment not a threat, Rognan de-activated his saber, switched hands, and kicked out with his other foot at the only remaining leg that was touching the ground.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle's remaining leg was knocked out from under him and he started to fall. As he fell and slashed his sabre out at Rognan's thigh.

[Rognan Dar]

Falling onto his back, Rognan quickly re-activated his saber and held it out, parellel his his side. The blades connected for a moment and then slipped way from each other as Kyle continued to fall. Rolling on the ground to his left, Rog got up on one knee and leveled his saber infront of him.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle landed on his side and rolled away from Rognan before getting to his feet and faced his opponent. He charged forward and faked a over head slash and kicked out his right foot at Rognan's lower leg.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan was almost fooled by Kyle's faint. He had his saber halfway up above his head when he then saw his foot coming at him. There wasn't time to react for a counter attack. So instead he rolled sideways to his right and once again propped himself up on one knee and swung lefthanded at Kyle's leg.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle brought his sabre around to knock Rognan's away but was a second too late. He felt the burning sensation of the blade burning through his pant leg and into the skin of his leg

Rognans' sabre was batted away before it could go deep enough to do any major damage. Kyle backed away and felt moved his left can to his leg. Rognan's sabre had nicked him right above the knee

Kyle stood back and kept his sabre in both hands infront of him.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan's heart jumped as he almost witnessed him cutting off a padawan's leg. To his great delight, Kyle stopped him before he had the chance to do it himself. Eyeing the cut from where he was he could see that it was not to serious. And if Kyle was still in the mood to fight, then he wasn't about to back down, yet.

Rognan swung left and right as he closed the gap between the two. It was not until he was close to him that he stopped his random swings and did and jumped over the padawan's head and stabbed backwards when he landed.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle had kept his guard up as Rognan neared him. He watched Rog sail over his head. He grabed the force around him and boosted himself into the air and over rognan

He landed infornt of Rognan and kicked his foot high at Rognan's chin.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan was not expecting to play leapfrog. He was more looking backwards at his own lightsaber as Kyle flew over head. Looking for the padawan, he got hit right in the chin as he turned his head forward, putting his head right into the attack. The hit set his body off balance and he stumbled backwards until he tripped on his feet and fell on his back, making sure to move his saber infront of him and not sit on it.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle dashed forward with his sabre held aboce his head. When he reach Rognan he brought his sabre down while lowering himself into a crouch so that his blade would hit Rognan fallen body.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan mustered all his strength that he could and from that position on the ground rolled backwards just as the blade was coming down. He then got to his feet and blocked another attack, keeping his feet under him.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle brought his sabre back and once again raised it above his head and brought it down, it stoped almost as soon as it had begun and Kyle spun to the right and brought his right foot around and up, as he came around and faced Rognan his right foot was already heading strait for the Knight's shoulder.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan almost fell for the faint again, he did go for the attack but quickly recovered. He ducked as he saw the kick coming high at him. As Kyle's foot went over head he reached out his left hand and grabbed it. Then taking a step forward he kicked out his right foot and kick Kyle in the butt before letting go of his leg.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle took a step away from Rognan more humilated then hurt. He moved toward Rognan while spinning his blade around in his hands in a dazzling display

He then suddenly lunged forward and brought his sabre up and down daigonaly and would cut Rognan from his left shoulder to his right hip.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan raised his lightsaber to meet that of Kyle's and held it there above his head. He then attempted to kick Kyle, again, in the chest.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle held his sabre in locked with Rognan's with his left hand and moved his body so that his left side was facing Rognan. The knights foot shot past him and brought his right elbow down on his leg.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan stumbled forward as his leg was smashed down. He lost the lock on the sabers and swung wildly at Kyle in a attempt to back him off.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle dived away from Rognan's incoming blade with is sabre deactivated before he hit the ground. He rolled to his feet again and spun around to face his opponent

He moved forward again ducking slashing horizontaly at wait heigth.

[Rognan Dar]

Limping slightly, Rognan waits for Kyle to come again. As he does Rog pushes off with both his feet into a jump, going over Kyle, and kicking him in the back of the head as he comes down.

[Kyle Krogen]

The inpact of Rognan's kick almost knocked kyle down onto his sabre, He barely reagained his balance before he fell

He turned quickly and took a step forward and thrusted the sabre forward Rognan's stomach.

[Rognan Dar]

Sweat was now dripping off of Rognan's forehead. He was quickly growing tired. Even though his body was screaming from sore and tired muscles, Rog pushed on.

Parring Kyle attack off to the right, Rog slashed out diagonally from kyle left leg up.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle brought his sabre back and knocked Rognan's sabre off to the left. pivoted sideways and kicked his foot out at Rognan's chest.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan was slow to counter Kyle's attack. And there wasn't time to do much with his lightsaber. Instead, Rognan thought Kyles foot still, using telepathy. He then pushed it strait back and let it go.

[Kyle Krogen]

As Kyle fell he moved his sabre away from his body. He hit the ground with a thump and had the air knocked out of him. He looked up at Rognan and stretched out his free hand and sent a force blast at the Knight's chest.

[Rognan Dar]

The energy of the Force sent from Kyle hit Rognan square in the chest. His whole body moved back, but he managed to get his feet under him as his momentum burned out.

Lifting a eyebrow at Kyle, he threw his saber at him. At first it started to spin horizontally until Rog changed its direction and made it then spin vertically, acting like a buzzsaw ready to slide kyle in half.

[Kyle Krogen]

kyle rolled to the side and let the spinning blade pass next to him. He hand sprung to his feet and seeing Rognan's defencless without his lightsabre, He reactivated his sabre and threw it horizontaly at Rognan so that it would cut the knight in half

He moved forward behind his blade and kept using the force to keep it spinning toward his oppenent.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan's lightsaber sliced into the ground leaving a small trail before it turned off and stopped moving. Rognan was about to call it back to him when his own attack was used against him. Kyle had moved to his feet and threw his own saber at him.

He then jumped over the saber landing infront of Kyle as he followed it. Both sabers were out of use in at this time. Instinctivly, Rog threw a punch at Kyle's face.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle moved his head to the side just in time to dodge Rognan's fist. He felt it wistle by his ear. He grined, He was ok with a lightsabre, but he was better with his fists. he threw a low punch to Rognan's stomach.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan saw the punch coming and tried to move out of the way but all he did was move his stomach back and prepared for the hit. It hit him and he thought he was going to spew something. He stepped back and regained his stance. He was not any good at fighting with his hands. In fact, he never has. Kyle was much better at him in this area. It would take a lot of effort to be able to best him at his own game.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle moved forward and faked a left swing and punched his right hand out at Rognan's chest.

[Rognan Dar]

Not yet use to fighting with his hands, rognan was slower then he wished he was. For the fake barely even registered to him and by the time Kyles right fist was coming at him, he was just then reacting to it all. He got hit in the chest and stumbled back, clutching where he was struck. He then brushed it off as if it did not hurt. That was a lie. It still hurt but not enough that he was not going to be ready for the next one.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle was amazed his attacks where getting through. He was too used to fighting against Wei. He moved forward and moved into a round house kick.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan was ready this time for Kyle. When the kick came at him he pushed out his hands to intersept the leg. The force of the blow almost knocked him over. But in the end Rognan pushed the foot back with no reason but to make him feel better that it was not so close anymore.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle pulled his leg back and as soon as it touched the ground he shot out his other leg as fast as he could at Rognan's at rognan's leg, above the knee.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan watched carefully after Kyle's last attack. His transition between his kicks was quick, and left him with hardly any time. And being a lower attack made it hard to block. So when it was just about to hit him he dived forward and knocked Kyle to the ground. Then, rolling off to the side and standing up, he waited for the next attack.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle didn't wait to get to his feet. He kicked his foot out at Rognan's legs.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan was a little slower on the uptake and was knocked off his feet from Kyle's leg sweep.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle sprung to his feet and as he came up he feet he kicked out his right foot at Rognan's ribs.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan watched as Kyle towered over him. And as his foot came out he rolled on his side to face the attack. He grabbed the foot and twisted it to the right.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle fell over as his foot was twisted. He rolled over to face Rognan and stretched out his hand and sent a force push at the Knight's chest.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan slid across the floor, with nothing to stop his movement. The he focused on Kyle and pulled him his way, causing the two to meet on the ground move along the floor. As kyle got closer, Rog angled his body enough that when Kyle was close enough, he could kick him where ever his body came close enough to him.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle felt Rognan's boot hit his hip. He clenched his teeth and turned about and kicked out his own foot at Rognan.

[Rognan Dar]

After Rog hit Kyle, they both stopped. Rognan then looked to the wall behind him and focused his mind on it, using the Force to pull him along the floor, yet still getting hit slighty on the back of his calf as he retreated. He reached the wall and stood up, rubbing the back of his left leg and turned to face Kyle.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle sprung to his feet and imediatly and charged at Rognan. He jumped into the air and kicked his right foot out at the Knights chest.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan watched as Kyle came closer, preparing himself for whatever might come. When Kyle jumped into the air, Rog side stepped to the left as Kyle foot hit the wall. He reached out for that leg and grabbed it with his right hand, then brought his left elbow down hard on Kyle's knee.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle was suprised when his foor hit the wall and even more when Rognan grabed him and launched his counter attack. Kyle had to act fast. He brought his right hand up and laughed a wild force blast in Rognan's direction as his body started to fall.

[Rognan Dar]

By the time Kyle sent his blast, Rognan's arm was already down, hitting the target. But the force of the blow was thrown off by the blast, yet was still enough to cause damage. So Rognan staggered backwards and regained his footing. He then went into a defensive position with his his right leg out in front and knees bent, ready to move in any which way.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle fell to the ground and rolled away from Rognan before getting to his feet. His knee hurt but it wasnt bad enough to keep him from fighting. He limped a little as he took a few steps closer to his opponent. He droped to the ground suddenly and swept his leg at Rognan's feet in an attempt to trip the knight.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan flipped backwards over Kyles sweep and landed facing him. He then looked out across where they had been fighting before. Stretching out his hand, Rognan called his lightsaber back to him and ignited it. He then waited to see if Kyle would follow suit.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle also stretched out his hand and used the force to pull his lightsabre to him. He grabed it out of the air when it reached him. His finger instantly hit the ignition button and the purple blade came alive again. Kyle took a defecive stance. With his left foot forward and his right foot in the back. He held his lightsaber in both hands infront of himself. He smiled and waited for Rognan to attack.

[Rognan Dar]

But Rognan did not. He slowly made his way forward and stopped. Then he cirlced around to the left, keeping his lightsaber ahead of him and to the right, covering both the front and the back. He locked gazes with Kyle. Sweat was now dripping off of his forehead and was already soaked from head to toe. This battle was intense, with neither one of them wanting to give up. He could see it. And he wasn't going to be able to go on much longer at this rate.

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle slowly released the grip of his left hand on his lightsabre hilt and raised it to his forehead. He wiped the sweat that had been gathering there throughout the fight. He returned his hand to his lightsabre and watched Rognan

He could tell the knight was growing tired, but then again, so was Kyle. He knew the two of them couldn't keep going forever and at the way they're skills are matched, one will have to give up. Kyle did not want this to be him. If Rognan was just going to stand there then he needed to do something that would make it so the knight couldn't pass up attacking him

Kyle held his sabre in his right and and moved his hand to his side, with the lightsabre blade pointed at the ground. He was now completely open to attack. Now all remained is whether Rognan would attack or not.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan's eye brow raised at the site of Kyle. It was a clear sign of dangling the carrot infront of the horse. But was he going to bite? If that was what he wanted him to do, then he couldn't do it. And was there a point in going on? This battle was even matched through-out both of their skills. Where one was weaker, the other was strong. As much as he did not want to be the first to stop, he knew better then to go on with something that had no point but to be the one to say: I won.

The blue glow of Rognan's blade winked out as it was deactivated. Standing strait up, tired, he gave a quick smile. "Very well done. I must say, you are quite a skilled fighter. Do you think that we should stop now or continue on until neither one of us can stand?"

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle was suprised when Rognan's blade turned off "Uh" He was lost of words at the moment "It would be best if we ended. I don't think either of us could go on much longer" He said as he thumbed the deactication button on his sabre and the purple beam went out

He attached the sabre hilt to his belt and strode forward toward Rognan. He stretched out his hand "A very good spar. Thank you Rognan."

[Rognan Dar]

"I thank you as well, Kyle. It was a hard battle, for both of use. But you did very well considering. You might have even won at one point or another." Rognan took Kyle's sweaty hand in his, quickly letting go though. "Maybe we'll have the chance to spar again some day."

[Kyle Krogen]

Kyle nodded his head "Sure, I will practice hard for that day" He smiled after saying this "And I hope you will do the same."

[Rognan Dar]

"I have no intension of doing otherwise. Take care now. And may the Force be with you..."

[Kyle Krogen]

"May it be with you aswell Rognan" Kyle said before turning around and heading toward the exit. He stopped at the door and turned his head to look at Rognan "See you later" and he was gone.
