The Rematch (Vega Van Derveld)

[Anakis Moreven]

(The Setting is Tatooine, Dune Sea)

*Anakis had just recived a message from his enemy, Vega Van derveld. he wanted a rematch and told him to meet him in Tatooine*

*sees Vega's ship on the horizon, and ignites his saber*

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: The Praetor Fenix shot across the open dunes, sending wave after wave of sand into the air behind it as blue ion energy pulsed from its engines. It’s pilot, the Sith Warrior Vega, was not in a good mood. Twice in a row he had been beaten by Jedi. First, by the Jedi Mater Amazon Babe, then by Nichos Marr. Both times, the elements of the planet had been used against him. The Dune Sea did not seem like a place this could be done, although the sandy land could provide a difficult terrain to battle upon.

///Fenix ready for landing. Co-ordinates X45-Y36. Target Jedi Padawan Anakis Moreven…Processing…FtfFtfFt..

The TIE Phantom reared to one side as it homed in on Anakis, jerking up and down as the dune winds caught it in flight. Flocks of Bantha roamed beneath, trying to scatter as the mechanical nightmare shot overhead.

Switching to comm. Channel 2 – Open

Greetings Anakis boomed the static filled messages, or should I say, good bye?!

6 shots rapidly fired off as the TIE Phantom came into land, mushroom clouds of dust roaring into mid air. Anakis could only hear the ship, but not see it. This was changed when the engines shut down.

SCVHOO

The door slide aside and Vega stepped out into wind swept desert, armed with his lightsabers, Sith sword, DL-44 blaster and Sith daggers. He walked down the gang way quietly then began to run as he got to the sand. Anakis had heard Vegas boots clanging against the metal stairway from the ship, but now could only hear the sound of the wind whirling around him.

Suddenly, as the dusk clouds settled, another 4 or so arose as Vega randomly sent shots into the sand, kicking up walls of dust in front of Anakis. The Jedi armed himself and took a position ready to battle, looking up into the clouds. From there, Vega emerged, dropping down towards the Padawan in an ominously dark manner, both sabers ignited, swirling in a circular motion.

CLASHFFZZZT!

Vega arched his sabers in front of him and created an X shape which he proceeded to bring down upon Anakis’. The Jedi parried the surprise attack, but had no clue as to what was to come next. The Sith thrust a hard kick into the chest of the Jedi and followed his up by Force pushing the lightsider 5 metres back across the sand. ::

Good to see you again, mate!

[Anakis Moreven]

*Anakis squints at Vega, the sand blowing in his eys, stinging them.*

"You wanna dance, big man?"

*Anakis catches vega off guard with a force push, sending him stumbling back. Anakis then uses force sped,and runs up to Vega, kicking him in the chest, knocking him onto the searing sand.*

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega hit the sand but didn't stay there for long. He used his homed agility to flick-flack back to his feet. He didn't stay there for long, either, for almost immeadiately he dove forward onto his hands and lached his ankles around the neck of the jedi, his sabers dangerously close to Anakis' ankles. He then, with force enhanced strength, swung his legs to the side causing Anakis to fly sideways.

Strafe-rolling, he pounced back to his feet just as Anakis' got back into a stable position.

Dance?

Twirling his yellow saber infront of him, he pulled the blade across the sand, causing hot sand to rush into the air.

Good idea.

Anakis winced as the sand got to his eyes and moved back a few paces. Vega then, using the situation, span his whole body around, connecting the sole of his boot with Anakis' jaw, knocking him back a few more feet. ::

This sound be entertaining..

[Anakis Moreven]

*Anakis steps back, wiping the sand from his eyes. he flows with the froce, and uses a force blind on Vega.*

"How do you like it?"

*Anakis leaps at Vega, grabs him and throws him on the sand. It scratches and rips Vega's red robes. Vega then gets to his feet, snarling. Anakis then uses force wind, sending Vega flying back into a dune. A rock falls on hsi head.*

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Before the rock could come within a foot of Vegas head it was moving upwards and quickly towards Anakis. The Sith gave a dark spawned grin as the rock smashed hard into Anakis' left leg.

Here, have a rock!

Force jumping to his feet, Vega dis-ignited Crane, leaving only Seraphim (his yellow saber) activated. The Warrior crashed down to the ground with a sound not unsimilar to a sonic boom. Blue energy circulated his unoccupied fist and entwined itself around Vegas fingers, lavishly sparkling in the hot air.

This is why they call me the Thriller..

The energy burst forth in a wailing blue cloud of dark ken. The hadoken attack shot just as fast as Vega could run at Force speed, and that was fast. Catching up with the attack, Vega flipped over Anakis and kicked him sharply in the back towards the ken ball. Spinning almost gracefully on his heel, he delivered another sharp kick the the spine of the Jedi, pushing him straight into the explosive ball.

CSHZOOM!

It ruptured across Anakis' chest, scarring inwards about 3 inches in a charred like fasion. The Sith grin sadistically as he Force pushed Anakis forward, causing him to fall on his face, sand rubbing into the open wound which had just been created ::

[Anakis Moreven]

*Anakis got up, healing his wound. he stepped back.*

"You asked for it..."

*Anakis puts a force sheild up, and lets the force flow. The wind picks up, and it gets stronger. Soon, it turns into a hurricane. Vega is blown into the wind, flying away. Anakis sees him frequently hitting rocks, and leaving a trail of blood.*

*Anakis puts down the sheild, and uses force speed. He runs and he finds Vega lying near the sarlacc, bruised, and aching. Anakis almost kicks Vega into the pit, but help him up. Vega smiles evilly. Anakis punches vega as hard as he can knocking him a few feet backwards, and cracking his jaw. Anakis then kicks Vega in the jaw, and watches him fall to the ground, still brusied and injured.*

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega brushed a few drops of blood from his lip with the back of his wrist, grinning up at Anakis as he did. The Sith let out a small groan, and then looked as though he was going to get up.

Then he was gone. Anakis looked around slightly startled, he could sense Vega, but he wasn't sure where he was. A sharp stabbing pain was then felt by Anakis as Vega pressed the blade of Seraphim against his back, piercing partially into his flesh.

Wake up and smell the burning flesh, Anakis.. you can't win..

Vega then punched the back of Anakis' neck, ramming his knuckles against the top of the spine of the Jedi. He then grabbed the free hand of the Jedi and spun him around, bringing his foot high into the air and pushing it a force enhanced speed into the back of Anakis' elbow. There was an eerie crack as the two connected.

Ooh, how nice..

The Sith then leapt backwards, watching as Anakis readied himself again.

Shame it won't last!

With a fluid movement he pushed on palm forward, sending Anakis up into the air a few feet and backwards about 10 foot. ::

[Anakis Moreven]

*Anakis then stepped, back, and a force sheild popped up. He began to heal, and surpress the pain. Suddenly, waves began to flow over the desert, knocking Vega backwards. Anakis then closed his eyes, and frowned. Suddenly Vega felt and extremly hard uppercut to his chin, knocking him back about a foot. Vega then got to his feet, bewildered, and he felt a hard kick in the stomach, knocking him over. Suddenly, Anakis's sheild popped down, and Anakis flew at Vega, kicking him in the neck and kncoking him backwards with a horrible crack. Anakis rested against a dune*

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega went flying backwards for a moment, not in control of his actions as he drew on the pain of his aching jaw. Before he could hit the dune, he put one hand out and with the use of the force, cat sprung back so that he ended up standing a top of the dune.

From the top of the swirling sand mound Vega looked huge. His veins bulged on his neck and arm muscles, his robes whipped against his bag and his hair, tied back, flicked agains the back of his neck rapidly. He did indeed look like an ominous figure.

Hear this Anakis.. you shall never make the rank of anything more than Knight. For before you do, I will smite you thus by the blade of my lightsaber.

Then, with a loud roar of pride and anger, Vega charged down the dune at force speed, all the time fueling his power with his pain. Dark energy seemed to radiate from his every pore as he leapt into the air just above Anakis, kicking the Jedi squaring in the jaw and thus knocking him back harder against the sand.

As Anakis moved away a little, Vega frowned and shook his head, stabbing his saber down towards his left leg. The Jedi avoided it, but was too off guard and unaware to catch the powerful, steel-toed kick to his ribs. With his boot in place, Vega pushed hard against Anakis' chest, holding him down with both physical brute strength and the power of the Dark side. Anakis wheezed out painfully, having difficultly breathing. ::

You are weak... you are feeble... you are Jedi..

[Anakis Moreven]

*Anakis concentrates on the light side and lets it flow. He gathers his strength, and kicks Vega off him. He struggles to get up, stumbling. He then gathers the light side, giving him energy. He slashes at him, slicing off his robes, and creating large scars all over him. He then grabs Vega's head,and pushes it back, hearing several cracks and moans. Anakis then kicks him in the chest, knocking him into the sand. He grabs Vega, gathers his strength, and throws him into the sand.*

"Man, Sith really stink at insulting"

*Anakis steps back the catch his breath*

*As Vega gets up, Anakis leaps over him, kicking him in the face as he leaps over him. Vega falls in the sand, it stings his face. Anakis backs up and begins to heal*

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega spat out a mouthful of sand and pushed himself up from the ground, grinning to himself.

Stink at insulting? I'd rather do that than stink period, Anakis..

Anakis looked up from his healing procedure to find Vegas fist hurtling towards his face. Anakis caught the punch and twisted Vegas arm around, turning Vega around so his back faced Anakis.

Ah ah ah..

The sole of Vegas boot connected sharply with Anakis' gut, knocking the lightsider back across the sand dunes a few yards. Vega span then on his heel and began to run forwards, re-igniting his other saber.

Fallen Jedi..

The Sith crashed into the Jedi, tackling him onto the sand, thus pinning him down using his knees and the force. Vega held his yellow saber against Anakis' neck, burning the flesh partially.

How does that feel? Does it feel nice? Can you smell yourself decaying?

The Jedi squirmed to relieve himself from the situation, but could not mustor up the strength to combat Vegas. The brute Sith held the Jedi down easily, pressing his saber a little more against the charring thin skin of Anakis' neck.

Wake up and smell the burning flesh, Anakis..

Vega then suddenly pummeled his blue saber down into Anakis' right shoulder blade, gashing almost as deep as the bone. ::

Say your prayers...

[Anakis Moreven]

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

*in pain, Anakis kicked up with all his strength, and kicked Vega in the crotch. He heard a loud crunch, and vega grabbed his crotch and moaned. Anakis stepped back after getting to his feet, he let the force flow, and kneed him in the face, knocking him to the ground. He then picked up Vega, and with all his strength, threw him across the sand with a force throw. He then puts up a force sheild and heals*

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega did not even hit the sand, and as he let out an ear shaking roar of rage, used the force to flip in mid-air, landing himself on the ground. Vega span round immeadiately and rushed at Anakis. Vega must have looked like a bright red bullet as he pummled into Anakis, sending the Jedi flying at least 2 metres backwards.

FOOL!

Diving forward, Vega rolled to Anakis' feet, sweeping his legs away with a sharp and swift kick to the side of his left leg. The Sith sprung into the air as the Jedi fell to the ground, wide-eyed at the sight of Vega looming down towards him.

Vega smashed clean into Anakis chest, stabbing his elbow into the lightsiders gut. Anakis wheezed out a convulsive heave of air, his saber almost slipping from his head as he doubled up to try and compensate the pain.

Vega sat his whole weight on top of the Jedi, the Dark side surging through his whole body, radiating in a painful manner around Anakis. The Jedi could sense the hatred dark sider had for him, as it almost physically omitted itself around the brutes body.

Heh.. heh heh..

With a quiet laugh rumbling in his throat, the ex-matador did what he did best.

"AAARGGGGGH!"

His saber drove deeply into Anakis' right thigh, causing the Jedi to yelp in pain, his healing status now useless. With unbeatable determination Vega held Anakis down against the ground, pushing his saber further into Anakis' thigh, whilst his other kept its hilt against Anakis' neck, making it so that if the Jedi even moved slightly, he would kill himself. ::

Can you not see where true power lies?

[Vega Van Derveld]

TTT

[Vega Van Derveld]

TTT... TTT again!

[Anakis Moreven]

*Anakis lay there, resting calmly and letting the force run through him. He then force pushes Vega off of him, and leaps to his feet, resting in the force. He leaps at Vega, slapping him with his spatula. he pushes Vega back, brutally slapping Vega. He knees him in the ribs, knocking Vega over. He then uppercuts him with the broad side of the spatula, and stabs him with it in the chest. It enters about a half inch, Vega screams in pain, Anakis rips it out and kicks him in the wound, knocking vega to the ground in a cloud of dust. It gets in Vega's eyes and Vega can't see Anakis....*

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega slashed into the air with one saber, using at as a tool of the force to push the dust cloud away, causing some of it to become burning hot. A few flecks of the dust touched Anakis' skin, but not enough to hurt him. Grinning, Vega looked through the hazy settling dust at Anakis. The Jedi now had a deep gash into his thigh and a rather bruised and bloody chest.

Again, Vega had a wound in his chest. The Jedi seemed to like attacking him there. No matter. The gash was upon the upper left of his body and pressed in half an inch, enough to make Vega feel it as he moved, but not enough to put him into deep stress.

A spatula? What a joke. You should be ashamed of yourself...calling yourself a Jedi and then using such a ... Vega paused then spat out his next words ..weapon?!

Vega held Crane and Seraphim in a tight hold, staring straight at Anakis who was armed with his spatula and his lightsaber. The Sith let out a small grunt beforing moving forward was razor edged speed. The edge to the speed was Vegas kneecap, which was throttled into the lower portion of Anakis' chest. Anakis half-doubled over, wheezing out a breath of air. Vega proceded to lean his weight backwards, pushing the heel of his boot against the deep wound in Anakis' thigh.

He watched Anakis' loose his footing for only a moment before edging forward, pivoting on his right foot to send him into a clean leap over the Jedi. Anakis spun around immeadiately only to be greeted by a devistating shot. Vega penetrated deep into Anakis' still open wound on his thigh with Seraphim, dredging the bright yellow blade in and up through Anakis' flesh, dragging a cut about an inch deep from the original insertion point to Anakis' hip.

Vega ripped his saber from the wound and violently drove his body against Anakis', knocking the Jedi backwards to the ground. ::

[Anakis Moreven]

*Anakis looks at Vega wearily, very injured. He backed up, and his eyes squinted...*

"HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE POWER OF THE SPATULA!"

*Anakis, fueled by the force, leaps at vega, and brings the spatch down on his head, knocking him to the ground. he steps back, ready for the 3rd hurricane...He wasn't sure he'd survive this one...*

*He took a deep breath. The winds picked up. Sand spewed into Vega's eyes, blinding him. The winds beocome stronger. As Vega was pushed through the sandy dunes, he was scratched and bruised and she hit jagged rocks and such, at 100 mph. Anakis heard a bloodcurdling scream. He force ran to Vega, and got there very late and saw he was impaled in a VERY sharp rock. vega struggled with it, and lifted himslef up, but Anakis held him down and slapped Vega viscously with his spatch*

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vegas chest heaved out of time as he tried to regulate his breathing patterns. He looked straight up at Anakis, watching the Jedi as he wavered from side to side occasionaly, obviously very weary.

...A little.. windy.. isn't it?

Vega coughed a spluttered manner, spitting out some blood. He could feel the sharp rock had pressed about 3 inches into his body, at around about the small of his back. It wasn't staying at this depth though. Anakis was slumped over Vega, causing Vega to slowly be pushed further against the rock.

Maybe he'd lost this one? Lost to Anakis? He couldn't loose. He had lost to Nichos in a rather embarassing way, and thus so to Amazon Babe. He didn't want it to happen again. Vega grunted as he de-ignited Crane. He slowly slid the hilt into the pouch in his robes, trying not to move too much. He did the same with Seraphim, wincing as Anakis pushed further down upon him. With a growl, he spoke.

Get... off..me..

Anakis didn't move. He just stared down at Vega. Closing his eyes Vega moaned as he tried to push Anakis from his body. Anakis' limp leg didn't make things easier, but Vega managed to slide the Jedi to the side.

The power of the spatula may be futile, Anakis.. but ..

Vega coughed, trying to rub the collecting sand from his eyes, his other hand streching of towards Anakis' ::

... you yourself have improved...

[Anakis Moreven]

*Anakis smiled wearily and helped Vega off the rock.*

"Now get yourself to a bacta tank...I gotta get one too, or my leg will fall off..."

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega stood up, cluching his palm over his open wound. He groaned, knowing that for today, the battle was over, and both men would leave to return and fight another day.

Vega spotted C-666 making his way towards Vega, shouting some gibberish about helping his master. Chuckling, Vega looked at Anakis from the corner of his eye.

Just remember.. next time I see you.. I'll have to kill you.

Grinning to himself, Vega limped towards his droid, ready to be flow back to the Empire where hopefully a bacta tank would be ready in waiting for the damaged Sith Knights arrival ::
