A Jedi sits by her ship..(Mari Bean)(closed)

[Fire Hazzard]

*Jedi Knight Fire Hazzard's X-Wing had landed on the outskirts of a Tatooine spaceport. She had run out of fuel, but other than that, her new ship was fine. Accompanying her was her R2 droid, R2-D9. Ardy, as she called the little unit, kept beeping something about his sensors detecting something. Fire kept eating a energy bar from the small safe of rations in the X-Wing, not paying much heed to the R2 unit. All she was concerned with at the moment was that she had alot of Republic credits, and nothing that would work to buy fuel for her ship here. She sighed and finished chewing the last of the energy bar, then stood up and turned. Coming closer to her was someone, who, she could not tell.
*As the unknown person came with a foot of the ship, the young Jedi Knight immediatly knew who it was. Mari Bean-and she wasn't there just to say hello.

[Mari Bean]

*The small Sith Knight wipes the sweat from her brow with the sleeve of her simple black robes, wishing that she had worn a different color, as she approaches the grounded X-Wing. About half a mile from her own YT-2000, the Mors Dominae, Mari was hoping to have a little fun, just pop in to say 'hello' to the pilot. A rush of light washes over her, causing her to stop suddenly. She stares, trying to figure out what it could be. When she realizes what it is, she growls, the word coming to her lips with spite and loathing.*

"Jedi...."

*She reaches her destination, hatred rolling off her in waves, and puts on an impassive face, casually putting a hand on her hip.*

"Well... fancy meeting you here..."

[Fire Hazzard]

Yeh. What brings you here? *places her hand gently on her saber just in case*

[Mari Bean]

*Her eyes flicker to Fire's hand, and she pushes the hand that is on her hip down a little so that it is touching her own saber.*

"Actually, I was following you. You seemed to be in a bit of trouble, and I was hoping to cause a little more..."

*grins wolfishly at Fire*

[Fire Hazzard]

No, no trouble. I just got flying a bit too much, ran out of fuel. *unclips her saber and ignites it, nodding for Mari to make the first move*

[Mari Bean]

*She chuckles as she unclips her own saber and ignites it, basking her face with an orange glow. She runs and slides into Fire, her foot connecting with her knee and causing her to lose her balance. As Fire is falling foward, Mari swings around the hilt of her saber, hitting her in the back of her head.*

"Belligerent, aren't we...?"

[Fire Hazzard]

*looks up at Mari, seemingly calm and unoffensive* What makes you say that? *Mari, caught off guard, is suddenly swept off her feet before she can answer. Fire front flips, landing the heels of her boots in Mari's chest, and quickly uses the the momentum from the attack to front flip forward again before Mari can knock her over likewise. As she lands, she ignites her saber, the green blade glowing, even in the desert sands of Tatooine*

[Mari Bean]

*She rubs her chest as she stands, still grinning*

"Well... You assumed that I wanted to fight... Unless pulling out your saber was supposed to be a friendly greeting..."

*She rushes Fire, light saber raised, and slashes at her head. The orange beam meets green as Fire parries, and Mari pushes hers against Fire's, causing them both spring backward. Mari digs her foot into the sand and pushes off, sliding past Fire's saber and smacking her right between the eyes with the hilt of hers, causing her to stumble back.*

[Fire Hazzard]

*winces* It's not everyday that a Sith follows you. *kicks Mari in the stomouch in the same place in which she had jump on her, causing for a small but painful attack*

[Mari Bean]

*stumbles back and rubs her tummy*

"True... <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/image/ez_icons/emoticons/devil.gif>"

*She slides through the sands to elbow Fire in the gut. She brings her fist up as hard as she can, in her face.*

[Fire Hazzard]

*grabs Mari's wrist and twists her arm real hard*

[Mari Bean]

*She chuckles to herself as she hears the bones of her wrist cracking. The darkside flows through her, her lust for someone else's pain burning through her very soul. She bends at the waist, and flings Fire over her head, snapping her own wrist in the process. She grimaces and pops it back into place as Fire eats sand, sliding about 10 feet.*

"Ow... Didn't mean to do that..."

*She grips her saber in the other hand and walks towards Fire, emitting small waves of dark energy. As she is getting up, Mari swings her foot into her ribs and flings Fire onto her back.*

[Fire Hazzard]

*pretends to be out cold. Mari, not tricked by it, laughes. As she was distracted by the humor, Fire slowly slides her body towards Mari, and then, just before Mari notices, Fire kicks the side of her calf and jumps to her feet*

[Mari Bean]

*She stumbles forward slighty from the kick, and as Fire jumps to her feet, she jumps in front of her and reaches to the top of her head to grab a fistful of hair. She lifts her knee up and smacks Fire's face into it repeatedly, a resounding crack fills their area and is soon followed by a dark, wet spot on her black robes. She extends her leg and kicks Fire in the face, sending her flying, and leaving Mari with a tangle of red hair in her hand.*

"Oh darn... I wanted some of the scalp, too..."

[Fire Hazzard]

*rolls over in the sand, and wipes the blood off her face, a few sand particles getting into the wound and stinging greatly. Fire stands up, and smiles* Watch out, Mari! *Mari feels a sting in her leg as Ardy pinches her, then quickly wheels away to the safety of the ship, giving Fire time to recover, and meet Mari as she turns around with a harsh blow to the breastbone*

[Mari Bean]

*The Sith Knight growls, and the astromech droid flies into the side of the ship before it can reach it, by way of a force push. When Fire advances towards her, Mari is taken by surprise, and she stumbles back, the blow causing her chest to throb painfully, alternating with her own heartbeat.*

"So! You cannot even rely on your own abilities! You will see, Jedi, that I have no such hinderances!"

*A spray of sand shoots up from Mari's feet and into Fire's eyes. Mari flies from the center of the sand wall with dark-enhanced speed, fueled by her own hatred, her saber raised menacingly in her fist. Her hand lashes out and siezes Fire by the neck, digging her nails into her flesh. She tries to lift her and finds out she cannot by sheer strength alone, her injured wrist still throbbing with pain. Her anger and irritaion swells and her arm straightens, holding Fire a few inches off the ground, a darkness spreading throughout the area, originating from the tiny Sith, her eyes flashing with dark energy.

She opens her hand, and Fire is shoved away by another force push, the blow sending her sliding on her back.*

[Fire Hazzard]

*lifts her head up* I am not in control of my droid. I can rely on my own abilities, yes, but R2 decided to help me. *stands up, holding back a wince because of the pain in her back* I can play hard, if you want to. *Mari starts to open her mouth to reply, but Fire kicks her mouth with the very end of her foot, loosening Mari's front teeth greatly. Fire smirks, and backs up slightly, watching Mari closely. After a minute or so of just glaring at each other, Fire front flips, driving both of her feet into Mari's chest, about where her heart would be, and then back flips away from Mari* Did your heart skip a beat, or speed up one?

[Mari Bean]

*She stumbles and falls on her back, the hot sand warming her backside. Working her jaw, she pushes her front teeth with her tongue, seeing how loose they are and gets to her feet.*

"Well, that in itself says much about you. You cannot even control your own droid... And you should not be worrying about my heart... you should be worrying about yours."

*She swings her saber across Fire's chest, the orange beam leaving a deep gash laced with burns in it's wake. She clenches her other fist and punches the wound, the blood from the injury flying all over her face.*

[Fire Hazzard]

Ooof! *controls her fall, and wipes some of the blood and sweat from her face. Wiping her hands off on her tunic, she smirks* I've had the droid for a week or so. Just bought 'im. C'mon, you can fight better than this! *disappears, or so Mari thinks. Her mind is touched by Fire, who uses her Master's famous illusions to make herself appear invivisible*

[Mari Bean]

*Mari smirks, then bursts into a fit of laughter, wheezing and gasping for breath at the stupidity of the Jedi.*

"I may not be able to see you, but I can surely smell you!"

*She focuses her mind, the darkside of the force swelling until it permeates the area. A beacon of light draws her attention as if it were a pile of dung, repulsing her so that she has to muster up all of her self control in order not to vomit. She closes her eyes in order to sense Fire's position more clearly and disappears herself only to reappear with her elbow jutted out, having used the darkside to enhance her speed. She makes contact with something and it gives way to the force of her blow with a loud crunch.*

"Oh Fiiiiiire? Is that you?"

[Fire Hazzard]

*is in view again* Yes, it's me, Mari. *Fire disignites her lightsaber and hits Mari in the head, then uses the moment of distraction to lift her up ten or so feet with the Force, and then totally let go of her control over Mari's body, and she slams into the hot desert sand. Fire reignites her saber and draws a circle around Mari, patiently waiting for her to get up. After twenty or so seconds, Fire pokes at Mari with her saber,(not hitting her), so that she can see. Mari jerks away, and gets up*

[Mari Bean]

*As she stands, a little bit of wind begans to pick up, slightly swirling the sands in little circles. She turns her head and spits out a giant glob of blood, sand, and spit, and turns again to look at Fire.*

"Oh no... Let me show you how it's done."

*At that moment, a whirl of sand shoots into Fire's eyes, blinding her, and she finds a tightness constricting her waist and chest, making it hard to breathe. As Fire tries to work the sand out of her eyes, she feels herself being lifted. She comes to a halt and she hears a flat voice below her.*

"Take notes now."

*Instead of simply releasing Fire, Mari uses the darkside of the Force to slam her into the ground, head first.*

[Fire Hazzard]

*inhales deeply, only to suck sand down her throat. Fire sits up, brushes the sand out of her hair, and pulls out her blaster. Fire fires nine times at Mari, each shot being deflected by her saber and shot back at Fire. As Fire shoots for a tenth time, she deflects a bullet at Mari, and consequently Mari is hit in the shoulder by the one Fire deflected, as she was paying more attention to Fire's blaster than her*


OOC: Sorry, I had a four or five paragraph post that was much much better than this, but it was lost in a computer crash. :(

[Mari Bean]

*She reflexively jerks backwards and grabs her right shoulder with her left hand after the bullet hits, the warm blood coursing from the wound, between her fingers, and down the sleeve of her robes. She works her shoulder, trying to get used to the painful feeling of having a foreign object make a hole in her flesh. She decides not to attempt to remove it, and crouches, getting ready to rush the Jedi.

Her dark eyes nearly sparkle with anger as she charges at her, her fist clenched around the hilt of her saber with effort, the sand creating dust clouds around her feet as they disturb it. The blaster flies out of Fire's hand as the orange beam slashes at her wrist, burning it severely. She lets go of her shoulder, taking her bloody hand and placing it over her other hand on her saber's hilt, and viciously, swings sideways at Fire's temple, the impact knocking her 10 feet away, head first into a small dune. The small, dark Sith walks menacingly towards the red-haired Jedi, the hilt of her saber now slick with blood in her right hand.*


OOC: Five?! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/eek.gif>

[Fire Hazzard]

OOC: If I'm in a good mood for it, I can really get started with my writing. Bleh.

IC: *silently rolls over, using the depth of the dune to her advantage. Sliding the the very bottom of it, she Force jumps herself up and out of it, nearly landing on Mari's head. Fire spin kicks Mari, swiping her off her feet*

OOC: Sorry so short, I'm busy now and I don't want to forget about this thread.

[Mari Bean]

*She lands on her back with a thud, and quickly rolls over, digging her fingers into the sand. She pushes off the ground with her hands, and with aid of the force, flys far above the ground. She twists mid-air to land unsteadily behind Fire, and nearly falls over. She regains her balance, and thrusts her palm out, striking Fire in the middle of her back before she can turn around. It makes several cracking and popping sounds under the force of her blow, and Fire is sent sprawling face first into the sand.*
