Open Sparr

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis walks onto the training grounds w/ her newly built purple lightsaber. She is wearing the traditional Padawan clothing and has her hair pulled back so it won't get in the way.*

Anyone want to sparr?

[Teka Kenobi]

*Walking towards Artemis comes the Kenobi Padawan. His white robes sweep along the floor as he walks with a slight bounce. He can see Artemis with her sabre hilt in one hand and wondered.

Are you looking for a spar?

He smiled, and awaited a reply..*

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis smiled back.*

I sure am. Would you be interested?

[Teka Kenobi]

** Sure. Where would you like to start?

He raised his head slightly in asking the question and the was that faint hint thhat an eyebrow went up..**

[Artemis Jinn]

Right here's a good place for me if you have no objections.

*A familiar humming sound was heard as Artemis powered up her saber.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**Teka nodded and smiled. Today was a good day. He walked away from Artemis for a few meteres, and turned to face her. Finding his sabre hilt in the ussual place, his belt, he proceded to take it out and ignighted it. The white blade shot forwards and Teka swung it a few times before settling his footing position and entering a defensive stance.

Shall we?

He was now focused on the practice at hand his smiling face was now serious and he awaited a reply.**

[Artemis Jinn]

As you wish.

*Artemis suddenly tensed and jumped into the air, attempting to kick Teka in the head and at the same time slicing low at his midsection w/ her saber.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**Teka rolled forward missing the kick. He held his sabre up as he rolled so Artemis would either have to change the direction of her sabre strike to defend herself, or be chopped in half..**

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis quickly moves her saber to block the blow. As the sabers tangle together for a moment, she slams her elbow into Teka's back as he completes his roll. Then she backflips a few meters away, in a defensive stance.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**He turns and nods to her respectfully. Entering his own defencive stance he readies his sabre, and again sorts out his footing position. Fliiping forward, his downwards vertical strike is blocked by a sabre at a right angle with his and the two are locked in the stance for a few seconds.

As Artemis pushes down with her sabre and Teka pushes up, he decides to be a little un-orthadox, as he does on so many occasions. Dis-ignighting his sabre that is locked in a stale-mate mate battle, he watches Artemis lose balance and stumbler forward. With lightning speed his spins round his currently bladeless hilt and ignights the other end going straight towards Artemis' neck.**

OOC: got aim?

[Artemis Jinn]

OOC: Nope, unfortunately.

IC:
*The Force warned Artemis a split second before the saber would have hit her, and she just dropped to the ground. The saber singed the back of her neck despite her efforts. Closing her eyes for a minute, Artemis sent 2 medium sized rocks flying towards Teka's unprotected back. Then when he turned to block them, she faked a slash at his right shoulder and kicked at his legs, trying to trip him.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**Using the force to sense what was happening Teka let himself trip watching the rocks fly centimetres past his chin and he came to the ground with a thud. Now both of the Padawans lay on the floor for a moment silent. Without a word they both got up and again assumed there defensive positions, taught by the one and only Hart Kenobi.**

OOC: sorry i had to include hart :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

[Artemis Jinn]

OOC: :)

IC:
*Artemis got up, rubbing the back of her neck. The pain made her angry, and she was tempted to use the anger. But instead she took a deep breath and exhaled, letting the anger leave her. Then, without warning, Artemis launched into another attack, running up a wall and backflipping so she ended up behind Teka. Then she stabbed at his back w/ her saber. When he blocked it w/ his saber, she didn't waste time trying to overpower him when their sabers tangled together. Instead, Artemis went low, slicing at his knees.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**Using all of the agility he had, Teka backflipped to the wallkicking off once he reached it, Teka could be seen flying high over Artemis with his arms out streched, then coming down and rolling for the land. As soon as he was down he spun round with his sabre and Artemis blocked. He shook his head slightly from the jump.

Woah[/]

He put his sabre in his right hand and with his left cart-wheeled sticking a leg out trying to catch his opponent in the face.

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis stumbled backwards, surprised by this attack. She quickly recovered, and grabbed onto Teka's leg when he tried to kick her again, using the Force to give her strength she flipped him and slammed him into the ground. She stabbed her saber at his stomach while he was on the floor.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**The sabre tip shot down to him once twice, three times, but each time Teka had managed to roll away from it slightly. Suprised by another, the purple blade slashed past him creating a wound across his side. He quickly got up and entered his defensive stance, yet again. He jumped up trying to get a kick in at her shoulder but it was absorbed ny Artemis' left arm.**

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis grimaced and took a few steps back from the force of Teka's kick, and he pressed the attack, slashing at her. Artemis dropped to the floor, and attempted to slide tackle him in a way, sweeing her legs at his to trip him. He jumped up into the air, but this was what Artemis was expecting. She got up quickly and slashed at his midsection while he was in the air.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**He stuck up his sabre managing to knock Artemis' sabre away, and with the now non-defended body he kicked her in the sternum, not to hurt her, just to push her away.**

OOC: sorry short post have not got long :(

[Artemis Jinn]

OOC: That's ok. :)

IC:

*Artemis took a few steps back, and waited for Teka to get his balance. Then she charged, running low and suddenly sprang into the air, somersaulting over Teka and kicking him in the head. Already turning in the air, when she landed she was facing his back. She tried to slash him between the shoulder blades w/ her saber.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**Teka took the kick to the head to his advantage and with the momentum of it he let himself go forward turning and crouching to come up and block the strike. He went down low and put his wight on his hands as both legs spun round underneath Artemis' attempting to get her down.**

OOC: Again a short post I am not on for too long today me thinks.

[Artemis Jinn]

OOC: No worries. :)

IC:
*Artemis backflipped away to avoid being tripped. She ran at Teka again, and after a series of fakes and blocked hits, she went for his neck. When he put up his saber to block, she powered down her saber just before it hit his saber. Before he had a chance to react, she turned her saber on again and kneed him in the stomach.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**The Jedi doubled over holding his stomach. He got up straight and moved backwards a couple of feet. He nodded to Artemis in respect and carried on in the fight. He ran at her jumping up and aiming a kick at her head. She ducked and when Teka landed he turned and carried on running jumping low but instead of kicking at her head he kicked at her knees.**

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis was caught by surprise and stumbled. She regained her balance, gave Teka a slight grin. Then she jumped straight up into the air, grasping a tree branch. She swung and attempted to kick Teka in the head. When he avoided it, she concentrated on the Force and sent the dirt on the ground into his eyes, temporarily blinding him. Then she let go of the branch and slashed at his right shoulder.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**Teka relied on the force to show him the way and in an instant his sabre was up blocking Artemis' attack. He jumped back slightly shaking his head and trying to get the dirt out of his eyes. When he was ready he continued. He glanced at her sideways on and raised a hand. She flew backward hitting a nearby tree and before she could regain herself Teka was already mid air with a fott out-streched.**

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis knew she didn't have enough time to move away from the kick, so she put up her saber. If Teka followed through w/ the kick, he was going to get a nasty wound. He surprised her and kicked her hand, making her lose her grip on the saber. Still lying on her back on the ground, Artemis kicked Teka with both feet square in the stomach as he struggled to regain his balance from the kick he had given to her. Using the Force to ehance her strength, Teka flew back several meters, landing hard on the ground. Artemis called her saber to her hand and waited for Teka to get up.*

[Astra Kenobi]

Teka flipped up from the ground and called his sabre to hand, where he lost it due to the fall. He paced forward a few steps before juming foorward spinning throught the air with the humming sound of his sabre flowing through his ears. He landed in front of Artemis and gave her a kick to the ribs and slahed out at her left leg. The white light zoomed through the air at lightening speed...in fact it could have been lightening..**

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis fell backwards from the kick to the ribs, and just narrowly missed being hit by the saber. She kicked at Teka's feet and got up quickly, slashing at his midsection.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**Teka raised his sabre so his right hand was on the top with his left hand underneath and the blade pointing down to stop the strike. He quickly moved his sabre away as soon as it had hit withh Artemis' And baseball slided to her legs, attempting to take them out.**

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis jumped into the air, and stabbed her lightsaber at Teka's neck while kicking him in the head as she came down.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**His head fell backwards and he turned to the side, Artemis' sabre cutting the edge of his ear and narrowly escaping a solid boot in the nose as she landed. He pushed up with one hand off the floor and got into a ready position**

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis gave him a nod before rushing forward to attack again. She slashed at Teka's shoulder, and when he blocked it she used her free hand to give him a uppercut in the chin. Leaving Teka temporarily stunned, Artemis kicked his legs out from under him and aimed a slash at his midsection.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**Teka was horizontal in mid-air and about to fall to the ground...in half! He used the force to float for a few seconds -- letting Artemis' sabre pass under him before falling face flat on the ground.

He rolled to the side and stood. Running at Artemis he jumped into the air aiming a kick to the Jedi's head. As Artemis blocked he spun round, whilst still mid air and using the already blocked foot, he kicked her in the gut.**

OOC: :-p slighltly longer

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis doubled over and took a few seconds to recover, as Teka had knocked the wind out of her. Then she got an idea. Using the Force to keep her saber in the air, she threw it at Teka, spinning it in the air so fast that it looked like one circle of light, moving towards Teka's chest.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**Teka used the force to support him and leant back norrowly missing the blade of the sabre. It skimmed his chin but it was only a graze...luckily. He put his hands back and pushed on his feet to get in a hand stand position before pushing up on his hands and getting to his feet. He used the force to pick up and bring it over to him. The blade was still ignighhted and he thumbed it off, and threw it to Artemis. He waited for her response..if any**

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis smiled at him.*

Thanks for returning the saber, but in a real battle I wouldn't be able to use it until I got it away from you. So, to be fair, here you go. I appreciate your kindness though.

*Artemis tossed the saber back to him and without waiting for an answer she jumped and gave him a roundhouse kick to the face.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**He was knocked right by the kick and cartwheeled over that way witout his hand touching the ground. He put his hand to his cheek and then raised it to his eyeview. No blood. Both sabres were now alight -- his and Artemis'. He got into as defensive stance aspossible with both sabres at an angle slightly pointing down to the ground**

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis knew she had to get her saber back, otherwise it would only be a matter of time until he had her cornered. She ran and jumped high into the air, somersaulting over his head. Whirling around to face his back, she slammed her fist into the back of his head as hard as she could. Then she kicked the hand that held her saber, trying to get him to drop it or loosen his grip.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**She kicked his hand hard and he released his grip on the purple sabbre hilt. It flew high into the air, and seemingly staying there. When Artemis turned she could see Teka looking up to it concentrating slighlty. He was in fact concentrating slightly on keeping it there for a while. His head came back down to look at Artemis and put on what seemed like a fake smile. The sabre came down fast, still ignited annd it swung round according to the hilt. It came closer annd closer to Artemis' head.**

ooc: did you say you didn't have aim or msn?

[Artemis Jinn]

OOC: nope, sorry.

IC:

*The Force warned Artemis of the impending danger a split second before the saber hit, and she dropped to the ground, hitting hard, not having time to catch herself. It had singed the top of her head, not very badly though. She held out her hand and smiled as the saber smacked into it. She had built the saber herself, and could manipulate it both with the Force and with physical force better than any other Jedi who used it, just as Teka was better with his saber. She faked a punch at Teka's stomach, and used her free hand to cut a tree down near Teka. She backflipped out of the way as it started to fall, Teka standing right where it was about to fall.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**Teka felt the tree coming down withh the force and crouched as an instant reaction. He Held his hand above his head and the tree stopped mid-flight. He moved backwards and released his hold on the force letting the tree drop to the ground with a mighty 'thud'.

He jumped up and used one foot to puch up, off the tree and land before Artemis. He swung his sabre round aiming a swipe to her head.**

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis blocked it with her saber, and kicked him hard in the stomach.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**The kick sent him back a few meteres, before he was able to regan his blanace. He got into the defensive stance, and redied himself.**

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis was breathing hard now, and she waited a few seconds to catch her breath. Then, she ran at Teka, at the same time using the Force to send up dust and dirt all around him, temporarily blinding him. She swung her saber at his midsection at the same time kicking at his legs.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**Teka put his sabre forward blocking the strike. The dust blew everywhere around him and he was kicked in the leg, hard sending him to the ground. His face collided with it and his lip was seemingly bleeding. He stood, calm as always and prepared for his attack.

He jumped forward turning in the air annd landed a kick to Artemis' shoulder before returning to the ground in front of her. He liftted his sabre towards her upper arm and waited 0.23 seconds to see the outcome...**

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis had stumbled back from the kick, but she quickly moved her saber to block his. Then she elbowed him in the gut. When he doubled over she swung at his right shoulder.*

[Teka Kenobi]

**As Teka held his stomach he span to the left avoiding the strike from Artemis. He jumped backwards, and as he lanaded he bennt his knees and oushed up again, so as to jump forwards. He jumped right over Artemis and lannded behind her. Both of the Jedi soun round striking out withh there sabres...**

[Artemis Jinn]

*Artemis faked a slice at Teka's left shoulder and went low for his right leg. When he jumped up to avoid it, she used Force Push and sent him slamming into the same rock she had been slammed into. She walked over and stood in a defensive stance, waiting for Teka to get up.*

[Teka Kenobi]

:: As he hit it he scrunched his eyes up and arched his back. Slowly it began to feel better. He stood using the rock to help him up. ::

:: With his sabre at hand he launched foprward pressing a downwards strike to Artemis' right shoulder she block and he did the same again but to her knee. As she jumped he force pulled her towards him and kicked her in the stomach. He wasn't sure about fighting females ussually, especially Jedi ones. However it seemed this Jedi could stand up, quite easily, for herself. ::
