A challenge

[Rain13]

(Open to any Jedi)

*Rain entered the battle grounds, her saber clipped to her belt. She walked into a forested area, the terrain was rocky, but there were many patches of soft soil as well. Her breath made small clouds of vapor in the cool night air. Her mind was currently locked on one thing, something she needed to do. She stood waiting, ready for a Jedi.*

[Warren Azalin]

:: Warren had been walking from his ship when he felt the dark presence around him, he didn't know who it was but he decided he would go check it out. Slowly Warren came upon the source of the Darkness, he noticed a girl staring out at the dark. He knew her from before when he had battled with Dawn against her and Summoner, from what Dawn had said he knew Rain was someone to beware of. Quietly the jedi walked out in the open his hand at his side not too far from his saber ::

[Rain13]

*Rain still had her back to Warren. She smiled wickedly as she felt his presence. Her hand slowly went to her saber at her belt. With one quick motion she unclipped it, turned it on and spun around, bringing her saber up in a slicing motion, aiming to sever his head from his neck. The skilled Jedi Knight immediately brought his own saber up to block, the blades sparking as they hit. Rain glared into Warren's eyes, her own filled with a deep anger and hate, her face having an eerie glow that was caused by the light from their sabers. Keeping her eyes locked with his she gave him a swift kick in the stomach, knocking him back slightly. She twirled her saber tauntingly and continued to keep her eyes on him as she slowly started to circle him, like a wild animal would it's prey.*

[Sith Summoner]

**Sums had followed Rain to the battleground. He had stayed in the shadows and as far back as he could still keeping an eye on her. Stopping when she did, he ducked into the shadows and watched as she waited for an opponent. Sums smiled evilly as he saw Warren approach. They had a history between them, and although he was here because he was worried about Rain's mind set, he wouldn't be against watching her beat up Warren.**

OOC: Warren already knows, but for any other Jedi, I am a non threat in this thread unless another Jedi joins, so don't join thinking that I am going to attack Warren in a double team.

[Warren Azalin]

:: The Jedi was quick to take in his surrounding as he fell to the ground, he could sense that Rain was much stronger than before but he also sensed another presence, one he knew all to well, Sith Summoner. Slowly Warren rose to his feet as Rain circled around him, she was quick to attack him as he got up but he was prepared for her. Brining up his saber just in time he countered her yet again and began pushing her back, as they clashed sabers over and over Warren saw an opening and took it. As the she went to strike him Warren quickly used the force to push her back and throw her off guard, as she did so he ran at her and slammed his fist into her stomach. She stumbled back a little as the Jedi got into a defensive position and waited for her to strike ::

[Rain13]

*She winced at the sudden pain caused by the punch. Regaining her balance, she quickly caught her breath that was lost when Warren's fist had impacted with her stomach. Quickly her footing went from unstable to that of someone ready to attack with all they had. She turned off one of her saber's ends, now holding her saber in her right hand she brought the other hand in front of her, two fingers pointing towards Warren. In the blink of an eye she quickly ran towards him, bringing her saber down, aiming for his left shoulder, as he blocked she quickly roundhouse kicked him in his right side with her left leg. She then took a step back, while catching him off guard, and brought her saber across his chest in a quick horizontal slice.

[Warren Azalin]

:: Warren fell back as he felt the blade of the saber cut across is chest, he knew it wasn't a deep wound but it would require the use of some bacta before the cut became a problem for him. He was quick to his feet as Rain attacked again, the young Sith was quick but Warren was just as quick to counter her attacks. After trading a couple blows the Jedi found an opening, still clutching his right side and the open wound he blocked a strike from her with his saber as he quickly let go of his wound and pushed her back with the now free hand. As Rain went flying towards the ground Warren was quick to go for some of the bacta on his belt, he could feel the pain going away slowly and the wound closing as she got back to her feet a couple feet away ::

:: Warren was ready for her this time and would not let her catch him off guard, without wasting another second to think he rushed at her while she was still getting to her feet. She was quick to block his saber as he brought it towards her but this is what he had planned, before she could react he brought his knee crashing into her stomach making her waver in her defense. That one drop of her guard was all he needed, quickly he brought his fist up and slammed it into her face ::

:: He watched as she went tumbling backwards from all this, knowing this would only make her angry he decided to try something useful. Knowing he would only have a few more seconds before she countered he reached for and ignited his other saber, rushing at her with the force to guide him he readied both his sabers for attacking her. She blocked his first saber with ease but she was not quick enough to react as his second slashed her across the right side ::

[Rain13]

*As the blade hit her her cringed, scolding herself for not being quick enough to block it. Rain managed to force-push Warren away from her, giving her time to recover from the blow. She smiled wickedly as she focused on the pain from the wound as well as her rage that was slowly building towards this Jedi, the Darkside once again strengthening her as it always had in previous battles. As Warren regained his footing she ran towards him, her speed enhanced by the force. As she drew close she faked an attack to his midsection and suddenly flipped over him, landing behind him. She kicked the back of his knee, forcing him to the ground. As he started to fall she quickly brought her saber across his back and then swiftly kicked him again where she had just cut, making him fall to the ground completely, face first.*

[Warren Azalin]

:: He hit the floor with a thud as he lay there, the cut to his back had not been too deep but it still hurt. He knew he didn't have time to put Bacta there so he would have to deal with the pain till this was all over. He rose to his feet slowly as he stared up at Rain who was already waiting to attack, Warren had already learned that the young sith was quick to strike out at him but he was ready. Countering her with some force he pushed her back as he regained his balance, she was quick to strike at him again but this time he wasn't to quick and fell to the floor again ::

:: He watched as she lunged at him again, but this time he was ready for her. As she jumped towards him he used the force to throw her back while she was still in the air, while she flew back he used the Force around him to enhance his movements and speed. Getting up as quick as he could he ran at her while she was still getting up, disengaging his sabers as he went he grabbed her as she was still getting her senses back and slammed her face first into a nearby tree. He watched as she fell to the ground and ignited his sabers once again while getting into a defensive position ::

[Rain13]

*Rain picked herself off the ground, her saber had rolled away from her and turned off. She brought a hand up and wiped her face, her nose wasn't broken, but there was blood coming from it, as well as several scratches caused by the rough bark on the tree. As she saw the blood on her glove she smiled and turned her head to see Warren out of the corner of her eye, he was standing there defensively. Her anger grew.*

...Those Jedi will never learn, he should attack me now...while I'm down. Why doesn't he just DO SOMETHING?

*She wiped some more blood from her face and slowly stood up and turned around before calling her saber to her hand. As it came in contact with her fingers she quickly gripped the handle and turned it on with the familiar snaphiss.*

Weakling..

*Using the force to once again enhance her speed she ran towards Warren. Seeing her coming, he readied himself for an attack. She faked an attack to his right leg with her saber. As Warren moved to block she disengaged the other end of her saber and brought the casing across Warren's Jaw, the hit amplified by her body moving in the direction of the hit. Keeping the motion going, she dropped to the ground and swept his feet out from under him.*

[Warren Azalin]

:: Warren was quick to his feet after hitting the floor again this time, he rubbed his jaw as he got up. It stung from the pain of the attack but it was only a minor annoyance compared to his other injuries, slowly he readied his saber as Rain came at him yet again. As the Sith came rushing at him the Jedi jumped into the air using the force and somersaulted over the Sith as she reached him, quickly spinning around in mid-air he slammed both his feet into her back sending her falling to the ground painfully. Warren landed a few feet away from were Rain had hit the ground, quickly he turned to her as he readied himself for another attack. Using the Force to guide him and enhance his speed he ran at her with his sabers ready, he reached her as she was was getting to her feet slowly, still using everything he had he reached her and kicked her in the stomach with a Force enhanched kick. He watched as she flew back from the impact and slammed into a nearbye tree, not willing to take any chances he got into a defensive stance ::

[Rain13]

*The young Zabrak glared at Warren, her head bowed slowly, her eyes could be seen glistening with pure hatred from under her messed up bangs. Rain took a deep breath, feeling a sharp pain in her back and partially in her lungs as well. The soreness that builded upon the anger and loathing that was there already, pulled her mind and heart deeper to the Darkside, allowing it to devour her completely. She got up, feeding off the pain that was becoming more noticeable, coming from her bleeding left hand. Her last fall had caused her glove to be torn, and small rocks had ripped into the slightly callused flesh on her palm. Nevertheless, she gripped her saber with both hands again. This time her approach was slower and her movements seemed more reserved, like a snake waiting to strike.
Finally, she attacked the awaiting Jedi. Her saber clashed with his as an attack to his left leg was quickly blocked. Rain attacked again, twisting around quickly to attack his left leg, Warren blocked again. She continued to strike at him with her saber, upper left, lower right, midsection, and each time being met with a block. Rain growled in frustration and released a hand from her saber, turning off one of the blades. She grabbed her Sith Blade, the one that her Master Dara had given her. As she kept it in her wounded left hand, still attacking Warren with her saber in her right, she saw an opening as she attacked his right side with her saber. She quickly brought the blade across his left side, tearing a deep, painful gash into him.*

[Sith Summoner]

**Sums watched on with an emotionless visage as the battle raged. Inside however he was a mix of emotions. He felt pride at the way Rain was fighting, given her mindset when she had left her house he was unsure of how she would fight, but now he saw that there was nothing to worry about. Sums also felt anger though, anger at Warren, one of the Jedi that always seemed to be messing with his life. He would enjoy watching Rain destroy this Jedi.

Sums kept in the shadows. He knew that Warren knew he was here, but he hadn't noticed Rain make any reaction to his presence, and he wasn't about to cause her distraction either.**

[Warren Azalin]

:: Warren backhanded the Sith away from him as the pain shot up his side, he could tell instantly that the cut was deep and would need further healing later but for now he only needed to close the wound. Looking across he saw the anger in her eyes as he smiled holding his side ::

"Very nice, now how bout we play a game. If you really want to kill me so bad then come get me."

:: With that he launched a Force Blast at her slamming her back against the tree. Seeing this as his opening he jumped into the trees still holding his wound with his free hand. Minutes later Warren was jumping from tree to tree healing the wound as quickly as he could, he knew Rain would be upon him shortly but he would be ready for her. Soon the trees came to an end as he hoped down and ignited his saber, spinning around quickly he heard a noise in coming from the trees. He didn't know if it was her of not but he would be ready ::

[Rain13]

*It hadn't taken her long to figure out what the Jedi was doing. A fool would have followed him through the trees. However, she was no fool. Keeping her senses open to the force she followed him on foot as he jumped from tree to tree. Eventually he would come down, and when he would she would be ready for the Jedi when he did.
The opportunity came as the trees ended. Masking her presence she used the force to rustle the branches in the trees behind him, making it appear as if she was following him through the branches. Keeping herself masked in the force she moved around behind him stealthily.
As Warren turned in anticipation of an attack coming from the trees, she quickly brought her Sith blade across his back in a shallow, yet painful vertical cut along his spine. She followed through with a quick slice across the back of his left knee with her saber and then finished with a side-kick to his already wounded back, which sent Warren staggering forward. His attacker ready for his next movement as she continued to feed off the Darkside, focusing on her earlier wounds for strength.*

[Warren Azalin]

:: Falling forward all Warren felt was pain, he knew he could not embrace it and would not do so. Instead he would have to heal the pain, raising his hand slowly he brought a finger to the cut on his back and ran it down his spine slowly closing the wound. He knew as a Jedi he could heal the external injuries to himself quite quickly, he also know that some of the larger more internal injuries would have to wait later for a nice dose of Bacta. Trying to stand up slowly he fell back just as quickly, he knew he could not stand up with his knee the way it was but he would have to heal it, and he knew he only had one option on how to give himself time ::

:: Looking past Rain the Jedi laid his eyes on a small stream, putting one hand on his knee he thrust the other outward as he went to work. Using the Force he began to gather wind above the stream, slowly but surely droplets of water began to rise and mix with the air currents he had created moments ago. Slowly but surely he put his mind to work as he lowered the Temperature around the the air and began making shards of ice in the wind. Feeling he had done as much as he could he released his grip on the Force as he flung the Force Shards Towards the unknowing Sith. He would have time enough to heal his knee as Rain dealt with the shards, grinning slightly he began to go to work on his injuries ::

[Kaine Darklighter]

Kaine watched on from the shadow of a tree. Hiding there this whole time, He had covered up his force presence. He had felt another force user come, A Sith infact, but sensed that the sith was too strong for him. Kaine looked on, as he saw his master do his signature move, Force Shards. He smiled slightly as he examined the small shards of ice made their way at the Sith, Rain Feral Sarin.

[Rain13]

*Rain watched as Warren smiled slightly after he had created the Force Shards. Knowing he was up to something she quickly spun around and managed to melt a few of the shards with her saber, but a few managed to get through her defense and cut her arms, her blood hitting the ground. The wounds stung but only added to the pain that she was feeding off. She grinned evilly and turned back to Warren who had finished healing himself as much as he was going to.*

"Nice trick, Jedi."

*She grabbed a dagger from it's holding place at her side and ran at him with force enhanced speed, saber in her right hand, dagger in the other. Rain quickly brought her right arm down with the saber, aiming to cut into Warren's left leg, drawing close to him. As he blocked she stepped into him, elbowing him in the gut and bringing her dagger into his side at the same time. She quickly spun out and away, tearing his flesh with the dagger. She smiled and put the dagger back and then replaced both of her hands on her saber before circling him, as a wild animal would its wounded prey. The Darkside was flowing through her freely now, engulfing every part of her.*

[Warren Azalin]

:: Feeling himself weakening the Jedi reached all around him using the force to enhance his powers, slowly he began energizing himself in an aura of the light. He could the power flowing through his body, but it was not a power like that which the Sith fight for. No, this was the pure power of the light. Feeling this fight coming to a close he watched as Rain circled him like an animal, knowing he had the power to end this right here and right now he grinned. Soon this would all be over and he would be back at the Greater Jedi Order ::

:: Looking straight at Rain the Jedi began moving the light energy towards his hands, he had never tried this before in actual combat but he knew what it could do in training. Getting up slowly he leaned on his good knee as he raised his hand upwards and aimed it towards Rain. Swiftly before even she could react a beam of pure light erupted from his hands, the pure white beam of energy struck Rain in the chest searing her as a raging fire would. Slowly he let himself fall back to the ground as her screams of pain and anguish filled the air, if the Sith loved pain so much then he would leave Rain in her own personal heaven. Slowly he put his hand on his knee healing it just good enough to walk away with, raising to his feet and into the woods he turned around and looked at the Sith. He knew that their never ending war would continue and he grinned, but this day the light had prevailed ::

[Rain13]

*Rain felt the pain flow through her body, it was too much. She screamed again as another wave of pain flowed through her body. As Warren looked back their eyes locked briefly and he could see pure hatred in the young girl's eyes, promising that they would meet on the battlefield again. She fought to stay conscious just long enough to mouth the words "Omae o korosu" her voice coming out nothing more than a whisper. She lay there, waiting to regain enough strength to head back to the TSE HQ where she would face her peers after a defeat, not an easy thing to do.*
