survival

[Live Wire]

*LW was balancing up in a tree as she walked out to the edge of a limb. She did a backflip and landed solidly on the ground.

The air was cool and breezy and you could hear the wind through the tall trees. The sun was high over the mountains and the faint sound of the river rose high over the cliffs.

The difficulty of the terrain invigorated LW and thrilled her for the fight. Her reputation for being a harsh master was well known and often she gave her apprentices one goal.....survival. The last time she fought with him they had been on opposite sides and he hadn't been able to handle her. So it would be fun to see how he had progressed since they last met.

She stood at the edge of the cliff waiting saber in hand for Morgan to arrive*

[Morgan Evanar]

She stood near the cliff, long black hair whipped about by the lightly whistling wind, river crashing below.

The air was clear and pine scented, and slightly too cool to make one sweat from the simple exertion of hiking.

Morgan moved easily in his loose khakis and blue shirt, armed with only a simple lightsaber.

"Yes, Lordess?"

[Live Wire]

*she turned and stared at Morgan coldly*

Im sure you know why you're here.


*she looked around taking in the natural beauty of the location*

It is a lovely day for a fight isnt it?

*she turned back to him and grinned evilly*

Lets hope that you're still alive at the end of the day to appreciate it.

*that said she grabbed morgan with the force and tossed him off the edge of the cliff*

OOC: oh I love doing that!!!

[Morgan Evanar]

Morgan's view of the universe shifted abruptly. One moment, his feet were on steady ground, and the next, he was sailing into the air, thrown by the force. His form shimmered in air as it passed the edge. He used the force to pull himself to the cliff face, and dug his hands in, finding purchase.

Slowly working his way up, he emerged a few meters away from the spot where he dissapeared over the edge. She stood nearby, arms crossed, watching the spot where he had dissapeared over the edge. He charged, and she turned as his invisible form slammed into her, sending her flying back to a tree. He shimmered back into visibility.

"If you are going to try to kill me by throwing me over a cliff, make sure I hit the bottom next time." He grinned.

[Live Wire]

That would be to easy now wouldnt it!

*she jumped up grabing a branch of the tree and swung herself on it. She balanced standing on it looking down at him.*

You're expendable Evanar! I dont care if you life or die and if you die it means you weren't worth my time to begin with. So dont imagine you're going to get any favors from me!

*with that said she used the force to pick up a rock and smash it into the back of his head. She jumped down igniting her yellow saber in the process and she swung at his head*

[Morgan Evanar]

He ducked slightly, thankful for his keen danger sense, so the rock only grazed the side of his head. She had leapt at him, and Morgan threw himself to the ground, the yellow blade humming through the air above.

Evanar leapt at her from a crouch, growling. Live Wire slashed defensively, nearly removing his arm as he rolled to the side. She slashed again, and Morgan leapt nimbly away, drawing his own saber. The greenish blade came to life with a hum.

[Live Wire]

*she swung at him again and their blades crashed. She scowled at him as she tried to overpower him whith her brute strength. She sent a kick at his knees knocking him off balance and she elbowed him in the face.*

Is that the best you have?

*she sent a lightning bolt past him and into the trunk of the tree behind him and brought it crashing down. She jumped out of the way and lept up in another tree*

[Morgan Evanar]

His agility could not save him as her elbow smashed into the side of his mouth. He tasted blood as he spat. Morgan heard the air sizzle and bark explode as the water inside had suddenly been brought to a boil. The old growth began to collapse, and he simply took a few casual steps to the side as it crashed violently to the ground.

He took his saber, slicing a thick disk out of the tree trunk. Morgan gripped the disk, and flung it at the branch where Live Wire was perched. The branch came free from the rest of the tree with a resounding crack. The fallen Jedi grinned through slightly bloodstained teeth as he stalked off twoards her.

[Live Wire]

*she fell into a crouch position and watched morgan advance on her. The wooden disk he had thrown was by her side. A mild lightning bolt set it on fire and she threw it at him aiming for his head. He easilly ducked the flaming disk but when he looked for her LW had already disappeared. Her evil laughter echoed through the forrest.*

I know you can't see me! But are you so worthless that you can't find a single sith?

*rocks began to fly at him from all directions as she laughed again*

[Morgan Evanar]

His green eyes grew cold like a moutain forest in the dead of winter.

The small rocks only served to anger him more as they smacked against his body. Morgan's grin suddenly turned savage as he de-activated his lightsaber, and dashed for a nearby tree, scrambling up with great agility. He leapt from branch to branch, no longer bothered by small rocks.

Morgan dissapeared midleap, having found the devious Lordess in the force. His feet hit the ground with a thump. She whirlled to face him, but his large fist dug into her middle, lifting her off the ground slightly.

[Live Wire]

*she lost hold of her saber as Morgan got his grip on her. She grabbed his shoulders and sent lightning through his entire body. He lost his grip on her and she quickly called her saber to her hand. She gave him a roundhouse kick to the jaw, switched legs and kicked him in the stomach before again slashing at him with the blade of her saber.*

[Morgan Evanar]

He shook as the electricty coursed through his body, the energy seemed almost welcome, but it stunned him nonetheless. Morgan woke as her foot snapped across his jaw, and her other dug into his stomach. He dodged her saber, grabbing her arms. As he squeezed her arms harshly, he brought his knee to her gut, doubling Live Wire over. The saber thudded softly against the ground, her grip loosend.

He kneed her again, harder. She coughed for air. Morgan picked her up by the throat, one handed, and threw her brutally into a nearby tree.

[Live Wire]

*lw cursed as she hit the tree. In a way she didnt think he had it in him but it still pissed her off. She scrambled to her feet and held her hands in front of her defensively a ball of force destruction formed between her palms and she launched it at morgan and it hit him in the gut*

So you can get angry!

*she used the force to get a grip around his throat cutting off air from his lungs. At the same time she called her fallen saber back to her*

I could cut you off from this life easilly and there wouldnt be a damn thing you could do about it! You think you've seen the best I can do?

*she walked up to him and backhanded him across the face as he pulled at his throat*

Pitiful really. You didnt leave the jedi they kicked you out! *She looked at him contemptfully* and you're fooling yourself if you think you mean anything to me.

*she released her grip on him gave him another longer shock before disappearing*

[Morgan Evanar]

It was as if somone had hooked him into a jet engine and used him as the battery to start it.

Thats what being hit by the force destruction felt like. Morgan felt his body quiver slightly as it dissapated. He felt her grip his neck with the force as he stood on his knees. He grinned at her drunkenly as she backhanded him, and then lifted him. Live Wire's words were gibberish on his ears right now.

Then the electricty hit him. Morgan sucked air in like a swimmer desperate for breath. His back arched, feeling the engergy coursing again through him, dancing through his blood.

He returned to his feet, standing defiantly.

"You think you can hide from me?" He spoke loudly as his form shimmered.

"YoUUuuu shAAlll looOOsssEE aTt ThiiiSS."

It took a minute before he found her, waiting. His saber came to life with a hiss, and hers came up to guard. Morgan used his height and weight to force their blades into the trunk of a tree, and his right leg lanced out, tagging her side.

[Live Wire]

*LW cried out as his foot made contact with her side. She pulled her saber from the tree and hit morgan in the gut with the hilt of the saber. She jumped up into the tree bringing a huge branch down with her and she wacked him in the skull with it.

It was apparent stealth wasnt going to work which was fine by her. She came at him with a lightning speed set of blows and he matched her strike for strike. She could see that he was hurting but so was she.

she force pushed him away from her and charged him...at the last second she flipped over his head and kicked him in the small of his back*

[Morgan Evanar]

The heel of her boot dug into Morgan's back, and he skidded for a bit. When he again stood, the side of his face was raw and bleeding, purple and red with blood and bruises.

He went back to his knees, and arched his back with a poping sound, the vertabrae returning to their proper location. Morgan again attepted to return to his feet, but Live Wire had other plans as she jump kicked at him. His speed with which he reacted was brutal, shifting slightly out of the way, grabbing her extending leg with one hand, pulling down, the other on her shoulder pushing upwards.

The end result was the Sith Lordess suddenly found herself diving straight for the ground, head first.

[Live Wire]

*LW put her hands out to break her fall and turned the headfirst dive into a forward roll. She landed on her feet and turned to see morgan diving for her. She dove out of his way and pulled out a knife and dove it into his shoulder.

The scent of blood made her angrier and she hit him with another blast of lightning. She ran towards her saber grabbed it and ran up the hill*

[Morgan Evanar]

He growled as the blade bit into his shoulder, severing muscle and tendons. Live Wire scowled at him, and he was bathed in electrical energy. It charged him, the raw energy was alive in his iron-based bloodstream.

Morgan took a deep breath as he set his hand on the hilt of the jagged blade, and yelled in pain as he tore it free, tearing instead of slicing muscle, violently seperating nerves. He tried to move his wounded arm, but found that it was mostly good for hanging limply. Morgan cursed it as he called his saber to his hand, and he stuck the bloodied blade into his pocket.

Estimated time to incapatictation to blood loss at current rate of activity: 3 hours.

Evanar ran at her, slashing visciosuly (damn sp). She focused her attack on his weak side. His amazing speed seemed to have kept him going, but when she scored a strong roundhouse to his shoulder that was intended for his head, he faltered to one knee.

"YOU ARE WEAK, EVANAR!" Live Wire yelled as she slammed the hilt of her saber into is wounded shoulder. He dropped his saber, and wrapped his hand around her wrist.

Morgan's head dropped slightly, and his eyes rolled back as he called the dark energy in his blood to his will. It coursed from him to her, blue and malevolent, dancing about with evil intent.

[Live Wire]

*lw did her best to absorb some of the dark energy but her weakened state the majority of it overloaded her body. She pried herself from his grasp and rolled away from him. She was weak but she used what energy she had absorbed to keep herself going.

He was still lying on the ground and she circled him cautiously.*

You are pitiful!

*she kicked him in the stomach and stood back*

are you going to get up or just lay there?

[Morgan Evanar]

His chest heaved as she rolled away. Morgan lay on the ground, gasping as she circled him. He coughed when Live Wire kicked him, and he saw her step back.

But she hadn't stepped back far enough. As if to answer her question, he pulled the blade from his pocket, and struck with the speed of a cobra, the blade digging into her leg through the black suit.

Morgan began to pull himself up slowly, the the blade tearing her flesh.

[Live Wire]

*LW swore as she felt the knife cut through her flesh. She stumbled backwards as he was getting to his feet. She used the force to push him into a boulder giving her enough time to extract the knife from her leg.

her finger glowed and crackled with energy and she used it to cuarterize (sp?) the wound on her leg. At least she wouldnt have to worry about massive blood loss.


She was really really pissed now. She threw the knife at him embedding it deep into a tree. She turned and ran...or rather limped as fast as she could deeper into the woods*

[Morgan Evanar]

Morgan could feel his damaged arm mending itself, but it would have to be properly treated before he used it. He gathered himself for a moment before running after the Sith Lordess.

Yes Live Wire, run.

She had just entered the stand of trees as he hit her from behind, tackling her to the ground. He was no longer gentle as he pressed his weight down on her, trying to pin her so he could get in another blow with his good arm.

[Live Wire]

*she groaned as he slammed into her and her natural reaction was to shock him off of her. She scrambled out from under him and ran again. This time she stayed ahead of him and he didnt catch up with her until she reached the base of a hill. She turned and dodged as he ran at her. She kept doing this until she heared a rumbling above them and suddenly she launched herself into a nearby cave opening. Morgan looked up stunned to see half the hillside falling on top of him.*

[Morgan Evanar]

Morgan crouched, and leapt into the air just as rocks and dirt slammed into the ground where he stood momments before. The landslide didn't last long, and he landed where much of the debris had passed, feet finding purchase.

"My Live Wire, aren't you a devious bitch?" He waited from his spot, ten meters above the cave she had ducked into.

[Live Wire]

*LW emerged from the hillside above where morgan was standing from a small opening hidden in the brush. She had rigged a pile of logs to cascade down. she whistled and he turned and she knocked the rock holding the logs in place. she laughed evilly as the logs started rolling down*

[Morgan Evanar]

The former Jedi Knight looked completely undaunted, having recovered most of his breath, and his wound had sealed itself.

They seemed to move in slow motion as he darted across the tops of them twoard the devious Sith woman. Soon Morgan had evaded or leapt past all of the fifteen logs, and began to close the distance with her. Live Wire's wound still slowed her some, and his long legs enabled him to cover ground faster. This time, he wrapped her up with is good arm and rode her into the hillside.

[Live Wire]

*LW kneed him in the stomach and flipped him off of her she forced pushed him over the edge of the same hole she had climed out of. He fell the 20 feet to the botom of the cave floor. She laughed at him and used the force to push a boulder over the tiny opening and wedge it into the ground. Without a second thought she headed down the hill towards the river*

[Morgan Evanar]

Morgan hit the stone floor like he was filled with led, landing with a sickening thud. He blacked out momentarily, maybe for a minute. His vision swam as he opened his eyes again. Proping himself up with is good arm, he steadied himself, finding that he could see easily in the darkness, thanking whatever ancestors granted him his unique eyes.

He found that the cave was large, and he could hear running water. Forcing his body to move, he easily picked his across the rocks on the smooth cave floor. He dissapeared before emerged near the river, and could feel the Sith Lordess nearby.

Her danger sense warned her a moment too late as he chokeslammed her body into exposed rock. But he payed for the move, hearing a cracked rib seperate beneath his skin. Still, he continued, slamming the back of her head against the rock, his green eyes colder than artic winter.

"Bitch."

[Live Wire]

*she looked up at him and snarled*

Say it like you mean it.

*she struggled with him trying not to pass out from the head injury. She could feel his rage and for a split second she was worried what if he couldnt control it...what had she gotten herself into. She threw all her weight sideways rolling them so she was on top of him.

Instinct kicked in and she kneed him in the groin and when he released her she threw her weight in and elbowed him in the chest and was satisfied to hear another rib crack underneath her weight.

she scrambled off of him and felt the back of her head...she was bleeding and she was mad. She picked up a limb of a tree that had washed up from the river and started to beat him with it*

[Morgan Evanar]

Morgan painfully doubled over as her knee dug into his tender genetilia, and fell when her elbow broke his rib. He lay in the clay of the riverbank as she came back, and smacked him across the chest with a bat sized piece of driftwood. He coughed, ribs aching miserably. She went to hit him again, but he was on his knees. Live Wire smiled savagely as she brought the branch across his face.

He sputtered, coughing up blood.

"Bitch." Morgan said again. Now he clearly meant it, angering her more. She put her weight behind another swing, and broke another pair of ribs.

He could feel hate burn inside of him like a furnace. He held the branch to his side, and her attempts to wretch it free caused great pain. Morgan slowly rose to his feet, letting go of the branch. She tried to slam it into his side, but he blocked with his good arm.

Morgan Evanar felt the inferno of hate fuel him, and he took two impossibly quick steps forward, and backhanded the woman he loved more than anything in the universe so hard that she flew back three meters.

[Live Wire]

*she looked up almost shocked that he had found the strength to hit her so hard. He tried to walk towards her but it seemed that he had used the last of his energy up. She stumbled to her feet knowing she was going to need about two days in bacta to fix all the damage done.

She walked over to him and looked down at him.*

Good job.

*she offered him her hand and helped him to his feet*

You survived!

[Lady Vader]

*LV approached both combatants after they'd finished their spare*

Not bad. Not bad at all.

*she looked at LW*

Hmmm, you're gonna need some bacta patches...

*and then she looked at Morgan*

Ooo, and you're gonna need a full bacta emergence.

-----------------------------

*a few moments later, LV had the med droids patched LW up and dunking Morgan into a bacta tank*
