Open Challenge

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega walks out onto the battle grounds and looks around for someone to fight ::

[Kaine Darklighter]

Kaine walks into a large clearing, scanning the area. He turns his head to the right, seeing the Sith searching around. Immediatly he senses what the Sith is looking for, and he moves further into the clearing, turning Vega's way. He moves his hand down the hilt of his saber, then calls out to Vega. "Lookin' for me?"

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega smiles slightly, nodding ::

How did you guess?

:: Vega places his hand onto the hilt of his saber ::

[Kaine Darklighter]

"Oh, It was quite obvious." He grins slightly, then grabs onto the hilt, but still not igniting it. "Well? I'm waiting.."

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega nods slightly, taking his saber from his belt holding it horizontally in one hand infront of him. He clicks the button on the hilt and the yellow blade reveals itself with a quick *snap, hiss*. Bringing the saber down slowly, he grips it with both hands ::

Let's begin then, shall we?

:: Darting towards Kaine, Vega swung his saber in a full 360 degrees infront of him, creating a yellow sphere of light. He lunged his saber forward towards Kaines chest ::

[Kaine Darklighter]

With a flick of his wrist, his hilt faced upwards. He pressed a small button on his saber, and a loud snap hiss could be heard, as a silver blade extended from the hilt. He twisted the saber, fending off Vega's, knocking it to the side. Vega gasped slightly as Kaine's foot connected with his stomach, sending him stumbling back a metre or so.

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Recovering quickly from the light blow, Vega charged forward, saber straight in front. Just upon impact with Kaine, he ducked down, knocking his legs away. He then jumped into the air over Kaine, bringing his saber blade down quickly towards his face, but just gashing the side of it as Kaine rolled to the side ::

[Kaine Darklighter]

Almost instantly, he flipped up onto his feet, a small trail of blood rolling down the side of his face. He made a mad dash at Vega, the force enhancing his speed, as he raised his saber upwards, as if preparing to strike Vega in half - From the head down. He done exactly that. His saber came clashing down, with Vega easily blocking it. From the speed of his run, he was still moving forewards. Instantly, he raised up his knee, slamming it hard into Vega's stomach, then making a spin around Vega, his saber sliding off Vega's. Kaine kicked Vega almost instantly as he turned around, making him stumble foreward. Kaine slowly brings his saber up, so the tip of it is just above his eyes, and about a foot away from his face.

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Coughing, Vega ducked down, gripping his saber in one hand he span in rapidly, through full turns. The final turn enabling his saber to connect with Kaine's. As the two locked sabers, Vega grinned at the slight blood trickle on Kaines face ::

Need a plaster...?

:: Vega jumped quickly to the side causing Kaine to stumble forward slightly. And as Kaine reared forward, Vega swung his boot hard into Kaines gut then brought the point of his elbow hard down on Kaines spine ::

[Kaine Darklighter]

Kaine collapsed foreward, falling onto all fours, with his saber just falling out of his hands. He instantly pounces into the air (straight up), and calls his saber to him the second he leaves the ground. A silver glow swipes across Vega's face, a large gash forming across it. Kaine lands not too for infront of Vega, with his saber lifted slightly.

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega wiped the back of his hand across his face, rubbing away a smudge of blood. Letting out a tiny laugh, he swung his saber once again into Kaines, but this time, echoed the movement of his saber with his boot, knocking Kaine's saber a few feet away. Seeing Kaine beginning to call it back, Vega thrust his boot hard into the ribs of the Jedi. As Kaine stumbled back slightly, Vega lunged his saber into Kaines left shoulder ::

[Kaine Darklighter]

Closing his eyes, and wincing slightly, the saber rammed into his left shoulder. His balance falls to the left slightly, as the blade slightly comes out the back of his shoulder. Vega stumbled back slightly, as Kaine's foot connected with his stomach, The saber getting ripped out of Kaine. He instantly puts his hand over the wound, and concentrated, trying to stop the pain. He sighs softly, knowing that kind of stuff wasn't his speciality. Before he knew it, Vega was already in the air, trying to strike him down. Kaine let out a small force blast, knocking Vega back again, making him tumble to the ground, falling onto his back.

Kaine calls his saber into his right hand, with blood saturating his shirt. He brings the saber around, so it's just infront of him.

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega winced as he hit the ground, but held in the urge to groan. Rolling forward to a crouch, he called his saber to his hand and swung it horizontally at Kaine, causing him to jump into the air. As Kaine jumped, so did Vega, and as the former landed back on the ground, Vega turned his saber vertical and thrust it downwards, just missing Kaines face. The blade scorched the skin a little. Vega leant forward, grinning at Kaine ::

Enjoying this?

:: He thrust his boot hard into Kaines chest, causing him to loose his balance. He then used the force to send Kaine further away from him ::

[Kaine Darklighter]

Kaine slides across the ground, and halts when he hits a tree. He shakes his head slightly, regaining his senses, then slowly got up onto his feet. When he looked foreward, he saw Vega charging at him. He holds his saber up, waiting for Vega to get closer. At the last second, Kaine moves to the left, and rammed his right knee up into Vega's gut. He instantly thrusts his saber down, aiming for Vega's right shoulder blade.

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Kaines lightsaber drove into Vega shoulder blade hard, the smell of burning flesh becoming stronger. He drew in a quick breath as the pain kicked in, using it to his advantage. Falling backwards he grinned up at Kaine, and using the momentum of his fall, pushed both legs up towards Kaine, his boots connecting hard with his waist ::

[Kaine Darklighter]

He kept hold of his saber, as Vega kicked into him. He stumbled backwards, the saber coming with him, and slicing outwards from Vega's arm, making a large, deep hole in him. He falls backwards onto one arm, But instantly pushes himself back up.

He stares at the sith infront of him, with his left arm still paining from the hole in it. The bleeding had stopped, but the pain continued.

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega let out a loud whine and the saber was yanked from his shoulder. Growling, he double up, the rage inside him flowing through his body like the blood from his wound. He managed to get to his feet suprisingly easy, standing

He held his saber reasonably tightly in one hand, and stared at Kaine.

Making a quick run at the Jedi, he lept forward onto his hands and swung his feet round in one swift wind mill like action, connecting with Kaines chest lightly, then with his legs, knocking them away again and causing Kaine to stumble back again.

Vega pounced forward from his crouch, using Kaines fall to slice a deep cut into his right leg with his saber ::

[Kaine Darklighter]

When Vega pounced over him, he thrusted his saber up, making a large cut from his chest, down to his stomach. The pain in his leg increased as he hit the ground hard. He instantly sits up, then moves up onto his feet, putting pressure on his left leg. He stares at Vega, that hit the ground after Kaine's saber slashed into him. He takes a step back, limping, and holding his saber infront of him.

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega now had a large wound on his chest and also his shoulder, and both were causing emmense pain for him. He watched as Kaine stepped and then got to his feet, holding his saber in his right hand. ::

It seems we are becoming .. quite, ah..agressive..

:: Vega lunged forward, the pain of his wounds stabbing at him as he thrust his saber forward, the tip of the blade pressing against Kaines stomach, ready to be thrust straight through him ::

[Kaine Darklighter]

He tried to bring his saber up, to knock Vega's away - but it was too late. Vega's saber had already jammed into him, a shiny yellow light appearing from out his back, as the blade went straight through.

The pain rushed through his body, and he used his last hope - Drawing strength from the pain. He felt a large, strong power emerse through his body, and he thrusted his saber foreward. The saber pierced into Vega's chest, missing his heart by about an inch.

Kaine could feel the dark side calling him, to unleash it's power upon Vega, but he resisted it. He slided back off Vega's saber, falling to the ground, a large hole in his stomach, with a small puddle of blood forming under him. His saber came out with him, and deactivated as his arm hit the ground.

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega drew in one large, deep breath as he looked at the whole through him. The blood trickled down his body and as he placed his free hand over the wound, it leaked through his finger tips. Bowing his head, he groaned. He then raised his head, and looked at the Jedi. Stepping toward his slowly, he knelt, one hand still on his chest, the other, now holding the yellow blade of his saber dangerously close to Kaines neck.

Coughing, he spat some blood out and stared down at Kains face. He slowly put his hand out to the side, calling Kaines saber to him and catching it. Rising to his feet, he turned away, limping away silently ::

[Jeseth Cloak]

Jeseth continues to quietly watch as things develope. He grins, sensing the pain and anger within the Jedi overpowering him. He could be strong with the Dark Side... If he survived...

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega groaned, almost tripping as he walked out of the grounds, back to the Empire ::

[Jeseth Cloak]

Jeseth silently stalked towards the helpless Jedi. He looked down at the blood that surrounded and covered him. This wouldn't do... He kicked the Jedi hard and heard him groan out in pain. So he was alive after all... That was good--at least for now. He placed his hand over Disorder and felt the blades there, looking at Kaine's neck and grinning.

No... Sigh. He'll be more useful to me alive.

He bent over the body and examined Kaine's wounds. He would die soon if he didn't get him to a bacta tank, that much was obvious.

"Can you hear me?"

[Kaine Darklighter]

"I .. can." He says in a quite soft voice. He opens one eye slightly, seeing the Sith - Jeseth, staring down at him. Great.. Now I'm for sure gonna die.. He sighed softly, then closes his eyes completely.

[Jeseth Cloak]

"Good!"

Jeseth kicked him again and heard him groan out. He grinned as the Jedi slipped into unciousness, then reached down and grabbed his shoes, dragging him back on board his ship and slealing the landing bay door. The Vertigo ignited it's boosters and quietly began to ascend.

Jeseth reluctantly tended to Kaine's wounds, then when he'd done enough for him to survive the next day or two, he through him off the comfortable bed and onto the floor. He hit with a thud and groaned loudly as Jeseth jumped up onto his bed and waited. The ship knew where they were going...
