Jodah & Makoto The final round

[Malice Draclau]

It must have been about 1 in the morning. Malice was in the forest around the sith Palace. He had sent two droids to get his apprentices up should they be sleeping and report to here. This would be a final test from Malice to see if they were ready to face the jedi.

With their training near completion, Malice wanted to see just how polished their skills within the force has become.

*Hmmm, yes this shall do just nicely*

Drawing on the force and on the darkness around them, he created a double, an illusion to be more exact. And sent it closer to the palace. His apprentices would first encounter him, should they beat him then they would Face Malice himself.

The Double didn't mak a single noise as it walked forward, not even breathing could be heard.

[Makoto Neo]

Makoto appeared from the Palace, shrugging on his duster's coat to conceal any weapons he weilded. He was still a bit sleepish, but that would wear off soon enough. Pulling a white bandana from the pocket of the duster, Mako pressed it to his forehead then tied it around his forhead to keep his violet hair from falling into his eyes.

Seeing the dupicate, whom he tought was the real Malice, he walked up to it then bowed. "You summoned ?"

[Jodah Of Giva]

Jodah exited the Palace a bit behind Makoto. He was in his robes today, expecting something major to happen, and had equipped himself as best he could. He saw Makoto ahead of him, bowing to Malice. Jodah picked up his pace a bit. As he reached his master, he bowed as well, andthen waited foe his response.

[Malice Draclau]

The duplicate merely grinned at the two of them. As they looked up towards Malice's face, Makoto was met with an uppercut sending him backwards onto the ground. Before Jodah could react, Malice's left leg came up and kicked him in the side of his head sending him rolling to the side as well.

Taking a deffensive stance, the duplicate ignited both sides of his saber and waited. What Makoto and Jodah didn't realize, was that the real Malice was not to far away. He was in on of the trees near them.

(Now it begins)

He thought to himselfas he double went into action.

[Jared Mriad]

IGNORE. Damned Ezboard Account Switching >.<

[Makoto Neo]

*murders Ezboard.*

Flailing his arms as he fell, Makoto realised that something was not right. Fliping up to his feet, Mako ignighted his claw saber and brought it up in defence. With his other hand he rubbed his jaw were the Malice Duplicated had hit him then muttered.

"Wrong Move, Jodah. You Ok?"

[Jodah Of Giva]

Jodah sat up, quickly. He pushed up with his hands, and brought himself to his feet. He then drew his lightsaber. "Yeah Mako, I'm fine. Just get you stuff ready. I think there's gonna be more where that came from."

[Makoto Neo]

"No kidding." Mako muttered to himself, watching the Malice Duplicate, Waiting for anotehr attack

[Malice Draclau]

The duplicate walked forward slowly. Surprisingly, with all the dead leaves around, he didn't make a single sound as he walked over them. Makoto and Jodah were surprised at this also. He held up his saber and eyed the two. Suddenly he dashed at the two flipping over them, kicking Makoto in the back of his head as he landed.


Turning around he clashed saber's with Jodah. Pushing Jodah off, Malice made a fake slice towards his right shoulder, when Jodah fell for it and went to block, Malice came in quickly with his leg aming for his mid section.

[Makoto Neo]

Makoto caught himself before he hit the ground and spun around to see Jodah fall for the feignt. Growling slightly, Mako dashed forward as Malice kicked for Jodah's mid-section. Before He could make contact, Mako jerked him back by the colar of his (malice's) jacket. Then aimed a uppercut at Malice's chest with the saber claw intending to impale him. the duplicate blocked easly, but fell into a trap of Mako's own, as Malice knocked the saber claw out of the way, Mako delivered a high velocity kick to the middle of Malice's face..

[Jodah Of Giva]

[i]Jodah cursed himself mentally for allowing himself to be fooled so easily. When Makoto pulled Malice off of him, Jodah jumped forward. He threw his robe sleeve back haphazardly, revealing a gold cuff on his wrist. Jodah flicked a switch on the top of it. A thin gold metal sheath lept out onto the back of his hand. He bent his middle and ring fingers up, and two gold ringlets slipped over them. He then bent them down, far, in a ward against the evil eye. A black-bladed, thin and short saber blade extended from the sheath. He kept his fingers down until it reached the length of about two feet, and then popped them up and slipped the ringlets onto his pinky and index fingers. Two smaller sheaths popped out of the central one, pointing at angles, and each released a small saber blade about eight inches long. Jodah slashed at Malice's back, opening a long gash that seeped blood. He then pointed his palm at his opponent. Four small metal spikes, all curving towards a central point above his palm, extended from a small metal circle he had fastened to his hand with leather straps. Jodah began to gather all the pain and anger he could, focusing it all into his outstretched palm. Static electricity began to dance on his fingertips, and was suddenly attracted to the metal. The electricity began to grow, andthe metal only increased its power. Jodah then focued it all to the the spikes, letting it roll out of the metal and into the central point together, coalescing into a ball of crackling blue-white energy. When the ball was larger than Jodah's hand, he released it. The Force llightning arced out, grasping Malice like a fiery talon and lifting him off the ground. Jodah held it for as long as he could stand, and then dropped the duplicate to the ground. Jodah's face was pale, and his breath was short, but hopefully the attack was successful and worth the sacrifices.

[Malice Draclau]

The duplicate stood up, barely able to stand he just stared at the two. Blood oozing out his back, and his body nearly fried from the lightning. He opened is two hands and faced them at the two apprentices.


Drawing on all the force it had left, he sent two balls of pure force energy(force blast) That flew throughthe air fast and hit boh men in the chest sending oth sprawling backwards falling to the ground. The duplicate grinned as it slowly faded away.

The two were shocked as the image of there master just suddenly disappeared. Then out of nowhere they hear clapping. The real Malice jumped out of the tree he was in and walked over too the two. He had used up some of his force energy to create and maintain the duplicate, but still had ample left to fight these two.

*Well done, the team work you two displayed will help greatly when you fight in a 2 on 2 battle or spar. Jodah, i am pleased you are getting better at using the force lightning, and you found a way to amplify it's power. Makoto, you too are improving greatly on your skills*

Malice stood in a deffensive stance.

*This is the final training session the two of you are likely to have with me, do not hold back. It's time to go all out. But remember, use only the force. Jodah, you have trained in darkness so you will be able to lead Makoto should he have trouble seeing. Makoto, you traind in this forest, so if Jodah get's lost you can tell him where to go*

Malice had purposly trained them in different settings, so in situations such as this, it would hehp them even more in working as a teen. Using the force, Malice tossed dirt into both there eyes, Quickly he took off into the forest. If they wanted to get him, they would have to feel him out through the force. This training session would test there very limits within the forest.

[Jodah Of Giva]

Jodah quieted himself. completely immersing himself in the Force. The trees and their inhabitants clouded his vision a bit, but he did what he could to weed them out. He sensed something in front of him, masked within a grove of trees. The apprentice set out, his cuff-saber at the ready.

[Makoto Neo]

Makoto wiped the dirt from his face, growling. As Jodah took off into the forest on foot, Makoto took to the treetops, force-leaping in and out of the trees. His saber claw burnt some of the tree leaves as he passed through them. Focusing on the force, Mako followed Jodah through the winding seeking Malice.

[Malice Draclau]

In the center of a bunch of trees stuck together, stood Malice, high up on a branch. To get to him they would either have to cut the tree down. Or use force jump to get him. He hoped they would choose the second one.

(Good, they are getting better at seeking people out through the force. It'll only be a matter of time before they find me)

Malice thought to himself. He could sense Jodah ahead and running on the ground. Makoto was not too far behind and in the trees. Malice began formulating a plan for when the two got to him. He could feel the anger in both of them rising as they came nearer to him.

[Makoto Neo]

Makoto darted inbeween the trees, he had caught wiff some something closeby. His expert tracking skills skimmed him along the treetops in the general direction that Malice now occupied. Slicing some limbs out of his way as he jumped from tree to tree, Mako closed in.

Concentrating on the force, Mako formed two of the black force spheres. Holding them as he neared the grove were Malice stood. As he neared it closer, Mako released the balls which streaked into the tree trunks and immeadately severed and fell outwards....

[Malice Draclau]

The tree Malice was now in began to fall, and fall fast. He jumped forward out of the tree and starteddoing flips in the air. Landing softly on the ground with aid from the force, he looked up. Makoto was still cming, and he was still in the trees.

*So, you wann play it that way huh*

Drawing on the darkside, Malice began to concentrate, reaching out with the force. He grabbed onto the particles within a couple trees in Makos path, fusing them with the force, and imagining them,willing them to light up in flames. Smoke could be seen seeping out of the tree, then in a split second they both burst into flames. The fire would be blocking Makos route through the trees and would force him to go onto the ground. Where Malice was setting a trap for both men.

*Now let's see....this should be good*

Drawing on the force once more, he concentrated on the ground beneath him, thick tree roots shot up and lay across the ground in wait. As soon as Jodah or Makoto set foot near Malice, the Roots would spring to life and grab them tightly. Malice now stood and waited.

[Makoto Neo]

Makoto held up an arm in defence of the heat, growling he did what Malice would'nt have thought of him to do. Makoto lept forward into the flames, the flames licked at his duster coat but the protective oil pervented any major damage. As soon as Mako touched down on one of the branches he took into the air again, clearing the flames and landing on a non-ignited tree. Looking down, Mako noticed that if Jodah kept on his path, the roots that had just formed a few seconds before would entrap him(jodah) swiftly.

Makoto glared in rage at the burning trees and the trunks of each exploded, toppling the trees over onto the roots and infront of Malice whom backed away in instinct. Dropping down into the ground, Makoto sped at Malice using force speed, stopping just a few feet infront of him in a quick U turn, brining is left foot up to round-house Malice, who blocked expertly.

Mako releived his attack as another tree unexpectantly fell in between the two, cutting Mako out from a escape route and placing him in his worst fear.. entrapment.

Makoto looked around frantically, his rage building trifold. Finding no way out, Mako faned out his hands at the newly fallen tree and roared trowing his head back. The tree lifted up along with Mako's arms, and flew forward at Malice...

[Jodah Of Giva]

Jodah felt the flame light up. He stopped, feeding off the pain of the trees for energy. He felt something in front of him, past the fires: tendrils of Darkness buried within roots. He gathered what he could of the flames for his hopefully final major attack. He gathered wind and brought dried and dead leaves over the roots. He then cast flames onto the leaves, causign them and the roots to burst into flame, wither, and die. He fed off of this as well. His hands came near to each other, palms facing. He began to weaken as he poured Force into the empty space there. Sweat covered his brow, and he breathed heavily. He gathered molecules, rubbing them harshly and slowly together. As hard as it was, Jodah began to create water there. He created a small orb of it, and then removed his robe. He ran his fingers over the finely woven cloth, sighed longingly, and threw the robe over the roots. Jodah then threw the water over himself, and dove through the flames, flipping, feeding off what pain he acquired, and activating his saber. He landed in an area of empty ground, near Malice, and opened his eyes, turning around and facing his master. He raised his arm and activated his cuff saber, the three blades sliding out easily. He brought this to his side, and held his saber in an angled postion, as if a heavy, ancient blade. "Milord? Shall we begin?"

[Malice Draclau]

Putting his hands up, Malice slowed the tree until it stopped. Then with a nudge from the force he sent it flying back at Makoto. He had not time to do anything else as Jodah jumped through the flames. Grinning at his request he ignited both sides of his saber and walked slowly towards Jodah.

*Yes Jodah, we shall*

Running toward Jodah with force speed, he lept into the air and landed behind him. Turning a 180 he made a slash for the small of his back.

[Makoto Neo]

Makoto swung his saber claw up and then brought it down, slicing strait thru the tree, the two halfs falling off to the left and right of Mako.

He opened his eyes, now with a feint midnight blue aura surrounding the ruby color. Mako glared strait at Malice as he came around to slice at the small of Jodah's back, Instead of completeing this task, Malice stoped frozen in mid air, then flew back into a nearby tree, which cracked and fell under the force. Makoto had now closed the gap between him and Malice, whom was still shook'n from slamming into the tree. Raising the claw saber, the crimson blades shimmering, he fliped a latch and the claws now glowed Deep blue, the two outer blades longer than the inner blade, only but a few inches. MAko sneered, and placed the claws over Malices face, the heat radiating off in violent waves.....

[Malice Draclau]

Malice could feel the heat fom the blades on his face. Using the force he manipulated Makos hand. Suddeny to Makos surprise, his hand with the three blades moved away from Malice's face and bent backwards, heading for his own chest.

*Feel the burn Makoto, feel the burn*


The two outer blades had just cut through Makoto's shirt, only a couple inches now before it reachs flesh. Turning Malice used his other hand and threw Jodah into a nearby tree, placing the force choke on him, Jodah was now pinned against the tree.

Malice looked at his apprentices, one was battleing against his own hand th other was pinned against a tree fighting to breath. He let out a laugh of pity.

*Is this all you two have got. Your wasting my time if it is. Now stop fooling around and fight me*

Malice increased the force hold on both men. If either of them didn't do anything quickly, they would both die.

[Jodah Of Giva]

Jodah gasped for air, trying to claw for freedom from the invisible hand. His back spewed liquid pain into his veins where the saber had hit him, causing him to waste most of his gathered air on crying out in agony of movement. He heard Malice speak, vaguely, and realized he was near fainting from asphyxiation. The pain was excruciating, and so it was this that Jodahfed off of. He balled all of his anger, rage, hatred into one ball, and all of his pain and sufferings into another. He body began to grow numb. Jodah grasped at the pain one, mentally sliding into a cache somewhere deep within his mind, and it slowly grew as he became closer to unconciousness. He took the one with his anger in it, and pressed it together, condensing it, forming it. He then had an idea. He reached to his neck and touched a blue, reptilian-skinned finger. Darkside radiated from it, a pinnacle of true evil. Jodah fed off of this, and gasped as a bit of oxygen reached his parched lungs. He then mentally grabbed the hand at his lungs, and inhaledit as well, absorbing the power within it. This he added to his anger, squeezing into an even tighter ball. He then readied his attack. He pretended to still need air, clawing and finally releasing his limbs control and closing his eyes, a feignt of a faint. Malice became occupied with Makoto, trying to force the Talons further. Jodah reached out, using the Force, and hurled Mako's hand at Malice, swiping him across the cheek and leaving a good gash. He then spent more energy and hurled Makoto upon his opponent, kicking and fighting. Jodah condensed his energy and centered it into his palms once again. Another small burst of lightning shot out, hitting Malice's sword arm. Jodah released his energy slowly as he could, keeping the arm pinned. He then reactivated his cuff saber, which had cut off when he had hit the tree. He stepped over to Malice, kicked him once good, and sliced off one of his fingers. He then grabbed his saber, holding Makoto down over him using Force. His anger energy was spent now, and he fell backwards, into a tree, clutching the saber and finger as tightly as he could.

[Malice Draclau]

Enraged by these brutal attacks, Malice violently shoved Makoto off him with the force, causing him to hit a tree hard, creating a dent in it. Standing up, Malice looked at his right arm. Not only was it damaged by a bolt of force lightning, but Jodah had the nerve to cut off yet another finger. His anger and hatred was at it's peak and he slowly walked towards Jodah.

Fire blazed in his eyes as Lightning danced along his fingertips.

*You Jodah, shall pay. I admit you have courage, but that courage has just cost you....dearly*

Lifting his other hand, Lightning shot out shocking Jodah. Malice stopped when he saw smoke rise from his clothing. Grinning Malice turned to Makoto.

*Hold on Jodah, i have to deal with this one first*

Calling down the vines from the tree, they wrapped themselves tightly around Makoto's body, pinning him against the trunk of the tree. The vines increased there hold as Malice clenched his hands shut tight.

*You sit tight, i will be with you in just a minute*

He yet again turned towards Jodah. Malice ran at Jodah, kneeing him in the gut with a force enhanced knee. Moving in with his left, Malice connected with Jodahs jaw. Stepping back Malice eyed Jodah, hate dripping from his eyes.

*I do not fancy people cutting my finger off. Not only have you done this now, but this is the second time Jodah. I think it's time you see what sith sorcery can do*

Centering the hate and anger he felt, he could feel his body heat up. Lifting his hands he called upon the winds from the four corners. They violently swhirled around Jodah, also ripping Makoto from his confinments of the tree and sent them both into the air. Opening his mouth he let out the heat from within in a stream of fire.

The fire swhirled around with the wind creating almost a tornado made entirly of fire. Keeping his hands up he poured his concentration in the flaming tornado. He laughed sadisticly as he watched the flames start to burn the clothes and a little bit of skin from his apprentices.

*This should teach the two of you a lesson. Just because you out number your foe, does not mean you can beat him. This is why you must train hard and everyday to increase your power and your chance of winning. Faliure is not an option to the sith, remember that well*

[Jodah Of Giva]

Jodah was hit by the lightning, and cried out for a moment. He suddenly centered himself, mentally grasping hold of his second Force cache. He chanted, over and over, his eyes opened wide. "Pain is the mindkiller. I will not succumb. Pain is a tool, not a hindrance. I will absorb. I will not succumb." All of his anger and pain he forced into the orb within his mind, compressing it even further. The collected sum was unsteady now, and crackled and moved of its own author. Jodah did what he could within the wind, grabbing onto Makoto and holding him. Jodah then tied Makoto's duster's strap around his own waist, securing him, and held his hands out. His fingers, then hands, then entire arms began to tremble violently. He looked down, focusing his gaze on the ground. Time seemed to slow. The flames licking his bind died down as he absorbed their energies. His chant changed: "All things are Force. I am Force. All succumb to the Force. I control the Force which I posesses me. The Force controls all. All succumb to the Force." He stopped for a moment. His hands jerked harshly back to life, trembling again. He then looked straight at Malice. "All will succumb." [i]He released all the Force he had gathered. All the wind and flame was gone now, though he was still hovering. Trees around him had begun to whither as he drew on thier life Force. Now, an intangible black, almost clear ooze seemed to move, faster than the eye could follow it, from Jodah, straight down. His head jerked upward, and his eyes burned bright white. The darkness hit Malice and the clearing around him. The ground cracked and spread, though the crevices were shallow. Trees fell over, dead of no apparent disease or plague. Malice was hit before he could respond. The amount of Dark Force overloaded his system. He transformed into his daemon polymorph, and passed out. Jodah screamed now, and plummeted to the ground. He was unconcious and barely breathing before he hit the ground. The impact broke 4 of his ribs, they cracked easily. His leg was also shattered, from the kneecap to the toes, where he tried to land on it. His one of his arms was broken entirely from the massive shaking, while the other hit the ground and snapped between the wrist and elbow. The bone protruded from the skin, dripping blood onto the dry soil beneath him. His skin was signed and blackened anywhere where the bind had melted away, and at some places the skin and cloth had fused. Makoto began to stir into the land of the concious...

[Makoto Neo]

Mako felt everything that happend to him after he had passed out. From both of Malice's attacks, to Jodah's rage. Once he had slammed into the ground, he woke.

Instead of the normal ruby color of his eyes, they now glowed a errie shade of blue. Mako's body rose from the ground and righted itself in the air, the duster sliding off his arms and falling over Jodah. Mako's white shirt began to morph, transforming into a tight black shirt.

Mako lowered till his feet touched the ground, he stood glaring strait at Malice as he awoken.

"You." He spoke, then he took a step forward. Malice rose to defend himself, but was knocked back down by a unseen force. The ground under Mako dipped in when this happened.

Mako glared at Malice, the rage kept building. A burning limb cracked nearby, Mako turned his head swiftly in its direction and the unseen force flared, pressing back debris in a streight path torward the tree. Seconds later It imploded, spraying wood chunks in every direction. Mako turned his gaze back to Malice...

[Malice Draclau]

Standing back up from that push Makoto had given him, Malice found himself rather baffled as to why he had morphed. Then he remebered Jodah's attack...that pure dark energy. Malice was able to absorb most of it, btu what was left had injured him. A couple ribs had been broken, but the force worked on reparing them. His body ached with pain, but that would only make Malice stronger.

Glaring at Makoto, he could feel his anger rising. That was ok, Malice's anger was also rising. Malice walked towards Makoto, drawing in the darkforce, letting it flow into him. He could feel the power in him just build and condense within his being.

*You dare talk to me in such a way little one*

With a mere left of his finger, Makoto was the one o findhimself on the ground now.

*Yes, your rage is building, i can sense it. And it is strong. But my rage, my anger is much stonger. And you shall feel it all....both of you shall. Now show me your power Makoto, hold nothing back, show me what you can do with the force*

Malice now stood, the ground began to shake where he stood as he continued to draw in the darkside around them. Malice would be giving them one of his last attacks...he just hoped they would live from it.

[Jodah Of Giva]

Crackling, popping, talking. These sounds, even in the haze. Jodah swam into a weak but sustainable conciousness. He reached into his mind as soon as he could feel the agony his body was in. He sank deep within the incomprehensible darkness. Jodah sent out his tendrils, drawing on his pain. It hurt to heal, but it would be worth it. He didn't move, but instead released a small bit of Force to create a bubble around himself, doing his best to shield himself from Makoto and Malice's battle. He waited, beginning the slow but beneficial process of healing.

[Malice Draclau]

Malice just glared at Makoto. His body crackled with lightning. He glanced to the side and noticed Jodah still out.

(Good, with him down only Makoto is left. I just hope Makoto can survive this attack...muchless this training session)

This thought ran through his mind. Holding his hands to his side he began to form to dark balls of force energy.

*Are you ready Makoto....ready to feel the depths of my power. To feel the dark power of the force*

Malice was waiting for Makoto to back down. Malice had just got used to using this attack he had made.....but indeed it was very dangerous.

[Jodah Of Giva]

Jodah stayed within his mind. The protruding bones wouldn't heal quickly, though the rest should do okay. His force ball grew steadily, easily matching his former one. The amount of pain he was in was an awesome contributor to this. He tapped it relentlessly, and occasionally tightened a muscle, causing more pain and forcing the ball larger with it. He had to grit his teeth hard not to give any hint that he was alive. He heard Malice challenging Makoto, and felt the Force ripple as he gathered the energies to him. Jodah held tight to his own energy, masking it as best he could. He lay still, gathering his Forces.

[Makoto Neo]

Makoto snickered. He felt the darkness radiate from Malice in tital waves, it did'nt scare him least one bit. Mako felt Malice's wanting of him to back down, not from reading his mind, or anything else. He knew from pure experience.

Mako lifted one hand up, palm facing the sky then signaled for Malice to bring it. In Mako's mind, he planed the techique he would use after Malice fired, then quickly removed it.

Makoto's eyes flared the eerie blue again as he spoke;

"Are you willing to take a risk?"

Then force spoke into Malice's mind

*It might be worth it. Bring all you have.. Master*

[Malice Draclau]

Malice was not at all surprised with Makoto's remark. He would expect this from his apprentices, a sith does not back down until he is absolutly sure he cannot win.

*Alright Makoto, you asked for it*

Malice started to put all the force energy he had into the two dark balls in his hands. They grew and grew, first starting out the size of a human head, then growing bigger and bigger. Holding his hands forward the balls faced Makoto. This is where the new move would come in. The lightning that danced around Malice's body was now being concentrated on the two balls, fusing with it.

When the energy got too great, the lightning shot out and heades straight for Makoto. the only difference is, it wasn't like the regular force lightning, it had combined with the two dark balls of energy creating black lightning. It was more powerful then the normal force lightning, and with both hands centered on Makoto. This could be really deadly.

The lightning hit Makoto square in the chest, easily sending him backwards and up into the air. Smoke was seen rising from Makoto as the black lightning ravaged his body. If Makoto didn't back down very soon....there would be nothing of him left.

*I like to call this attack.....dark lightning*

Mlice had a sadistic grin cross his face. Truth be known, he did not want to see Makoto die, but afterall, he did ask for it. And the sith say, if you can't handle, then don't join.

[Makoto Neo]

Makoto felt the lightning strike his body, flinging him up into the air flying. Slamming into a tree, Makoto slipped down, then fell forward onto his stomach and layed still, tendrils of smoke rose from his body in waves..

"A risk..." he muttered, he lifted himself with one hand, It hurt like a burning inferno. The black lightning had taken a extreme toll on his body, but it had also benefited it. He stood, wavering back and forth, a grimace of pain on his face. The front of his black shirt had been burned away to reveal charred flesh. Slowly he took a step forward toward Malice.

"well.. deserved.." he gasped out, he was forming the attack as he spoke, he knew that it would probally distroy his body and kill him, but it was worth the risk, he was determined to beat Malice.

"Are.... you re..ady..?" He asked quietly, not waiting for a responce. He fanded his arms out to his sides. Palms facing torward the darkeing skies. Force began to flood into his body, with Malice's attack Mako had absorbed some of the darkside delt out with the blast. Two black spheres formed into existance in his palms, each about the size of a golf ball but growing in size. The Force began to flood into his hands to enter the balls, which they did. Mako growled painfully, and the air around him began to shimmer dully, The force spheres were now the size of basketballs. Mako drew a bit more force from the surrounding terrain, and felt Jodah's attack subconiously.

"My...turn!" Makoto shouted, his voice filled with anger and hate as he brought the two spheres down and merged them, pulling the large sphere back past his right side, Makoto threw the sphere at Malice, both hands outstrectched with a warlike cry. When the sphere left Mako's hands, a wave of the force swept over Mako, forcing him back.

The force blast raced along the path towards Malice, demolishing the ground and anything in its path.

Mako grinned slightly, then woobled, and fell to the ground. His eyes rolled back to the whites and closed....

[Malice Draclau]

The two black spheres in Malice's hands were still charging with the black lightning. Malice was about to attack when Makoto shot a devastating force blast at him. It raced across the ground tearing it like paper, it's speed increasing as it came ever so closer.

*Very impressive Makoto.....i can see i have trained you well in the force. Now let's see what this can do*


Formng his two force balls together, malice poured all his energy into this last attack. Aiming it at the gigantic force blast heading his way, the grounds darkened as Malice drew on it's dark power. Releasing the built up energy, huge bolts of black lightning shot out and hit the force blast.
It did what Malice had expected it to do, it changed it's course, though the ball had absorbed some of the lightning and became bigger.

Folding his hands infront of him, he braced himself for the impact.

*Here...it...comes*

The ball hit the ground a few feet infront of Malice, throwing him back into the tree completely going right through it. The shockwave from the impact spread all across the t grounds, ripping trees from it's roots undergrund, The shockwave flinged Makoto's and Jodah's bodies against the trees as well.

When the smoke cleared, the damage was immense. The grounds was nearly destroyed, holes big and small was scattered. Tree lims lay everywhere, some were even jabbed into other trees and stuck up from the ground like spikes. Malice too was pinned to a tree, a branch had flew into his right shoulder, trapping him there.

Coughing up blood he looked around. He was the only one left awake....he grinned at the damage they all had done.


*I...am proud...*cough* my apprentices. Me-medics*

Was all he yelled before closing his eyes. He now just hung there, resting, still in the consious world awaiting for the medics to arrive. Had his comm link been destroyed, the three of them would have died.

The medics arrved quickly, stunned at the now non exsisting part of the forest that used to be where they are standing. Quickly they got Malice down and grabbed Makoto and Jodah.

*No....take them first...they need it more then i do*

Nodding there heads they took Makoto and Jodah into the palace first. Slowly following behind was Malice. his left side covered in blood as the medics helped him walk to the med bay. In a few days when they are all rested, Malice would speak to them of this day.
