To make friends and foes.

[Koga]

Kale knelt down on a small sand dune in the center large, rough desert. About fifty feet in front of him was a small town with a ten foot high rock wall surrounding it. Kale could see the roofs of a few buildings, and a large wooden door in the center of the wall. He was exactly where he wanted to be.

Kale had heard that a Jedi was headed to this district, and hopefully this Jedi was alone. Kale's plan was simple, find the Jedi, kill him, and leave. He always found a way to kill his target without ever planning something big before hand. He typically trusted his intuition and his wits. Kale god to his feet, pulled his hood back over his head, and slowly began walking through the rough desert.

If it weren't for his robes he'd feel the agony of a thousand little grains of sand slamming into his skin. The foot prints that he made as he walked were quickly blown away by the wind. After walking for a few minutes, Kale reached the large wooden door. He slammed his fist onto the door, and a loud knocking sound was heard.

[kozeph]

Xue Aodh reached a small backwater village just in time to avoid the birth of sand storm, which in a couple of minutes might start and cover the whole valley, so by luck or the will of the force the rogue-looking Jedi knight reached the town in the nick of time. Xue was surprised by the number of times he was coming to This desert planet "Meaby I should rent a permanent room on this planet" The Jedi smiled as he walked into the town through the main and oddly empty gate.

"This place looks like a ghost town" The Jedi knight of blond hair said while stroking the hair in his chin, openning his senses Xue began looking for life signs... good he felt people in the town so at the very least people did live here, somehow anyway. But something made Xue frown he felt corrupted precense nearby, someone who had tainted his spirit with what most people called the dark side of the force, yet for Xue who did not believe in the dark side of the force or even the light side like most force users, the evil that came from people was their own hearts nothing more.

Not wishing a direct engament, the Jedi knight dressed more like a smuggler or a pirate to be more accurate walked into the middle of the small town, which was a small plaza where Xue guessed the townspeople used as the market for the village. Pushing his long dark trench coat away Xue sat in at the edge of the base of a simply and roughly made statue of a male human, using the force to track the corrupted man from a far.

[Koga]

The doors opened for Kale and he was quick with his entry. He did not want to spend another second on this planet, he wanted to kill this Jedi and leave, but of course things would not be that simple. He casually walked through the sand covered streets, passing a few strange looking civilians. With a blindfold around his eyes, Kale needed to use force sense to see, and that is what he used.

He saw many strange looking figures, but none of them were what he were looking for. After some time, he felt a pure presence coming his way. This had to be his target. Almost instinctively, Kale ran for a small wooden box, next to a small building. He hopped onto the box, and quickly force-jumped on top of the building.

Once on top of the building, Kale crouched down low, and slowly sent his hands to his sides. He pulled out both of his light saber hilts, but did not ignite them yet. He was waiting for his target to get just a bit closer before he attacked.

[kozeph]

Xue senses travelled along with dark presence after that was following him. Even if the man who was tracking Xue was suppresing a most of his force signature this Jedi knight was particulary good at tracking force signatures and even if he fully supressed his conection to the force Taku was a good at sensing people life force.

The rogue looking knight stopped in his tracks and walked to a building next to the one where the dark Jedi was. Xue used the force to empower his legs and make a sufficiently powerful leap to reach the roof top, Taku rested his hands against his hip and watched the dark one in front of him "Afternoon, I'm looking for a Jawa sandcrawler you wouldn't happen to know if they pass through here?" he said using a tone that made him look more like a gallant thief than anything else.

[Koga]

As the man hopped onto the building next to him, Kale stood up and turned around to face the man. "Didn't see any. But I've got my eye on a smart-mouthed Jedi. Don't know if it could take a jawa in a fight.. but it certainly is as annoying as one." Kale remarked, as he scratched his chin.

In one, fluid motion, Kale sent his hands to his sides and ignited the sabers that were in them. Using force-sense to see beneath the blindfold, Kale looked to his opponent. He hated dong things this way. Typically he preferred to silently assassinate his target, and then quickly leave. Not to say that he could not hold his own in combat.

Running to the edge of the building, Kale jumped, using the power of the force to help send him across the space between the two buildings. He brought his light sabers over his head, and swung them down as he neared his opponent.

[kozeph]

Xue side stepped the dark assailant attack, and turned on his lightsaber putting the glowing purple light between him and the Dark Jedi "My how aggressive. Whats the hurry friend? the day is still young" Xue said while dropping into a Makashi stance. The rogue looking Jedi stepped in attempting to pierce the dark Jedi mid section following with a flashy slash pushing away one of the dark Jedi lightsabers, before deftly retreating a couple of steps.

"Names Xue Aodh" he said while giving a salute with his blade. The blond Jedi smiled and with his right hand sent a small weave through the force, while he skipped back and jumped down into the street. "Now if you excuse me I have to find someone whos seen those Jawas" he shouted while going to the other side of the street and jumping up to the opposite building where the dark one was.

[Koga]

As Xue began to run, Kale sent his hand out to his side, and force pulled his saber back to him quickly. Kale hopped off the building, and began to chase after Xue. "Kale, a pleasure to meet you." He said, before bringing one light saber at head height, and the other more toward the waist.

Kale crouched down, and with incredible speed, he spun around and attempted to ram the hilt of the saber in his right hand against the Jedi's knee. He then spun back around, and slashed the saber in his left hand toward the Jedi's neck. This was one of Kale's signature moves. He used it if he had to actually had to fight an opponent, rather then just assassinate him.

[kozeph]

Xue swirld back just as he sensed the impending attack, his purple blade was ignited in time to be brought up in a flash to stop the blow aimed for his neck and just as fast he angled his lightsaber to parry the blow seeking his waist.

For a second Xue lost track of Kale but it was only for a moment, he saw the attack aimed at his knee which Xue couldnt afford to be hit there, so to avoid being hit there Xue dropped his knee to the ground leaving himself in a kneeling position, only being hit in the thigh while it hurt it was not painful enough to cripple Xue but it did left him in a unprotected position to block his opponent attack, so the blond Jedi decided to rely on the force instead rather than his saber. Xue open palm aimed at the dark Jedi and he released a kinetic attack at point black range to push Kale back.

Xue raised back up and made a couple of pebbles levitate, sending them to annoy Kale "I can't think of a proper name to give you Kale... whats your last name eh?"

[Koga]

Kale was hot all the way back to the building he had just jumped from. Right before his back slammed against the wall, Kale quickly maneuvered his body so that he would land on it feet first. Once his feet slammed against the wall, Kale force-jumped off the building and toward Xue once again.

"Pox! And yours?" He shouted, as he soared through the air. He pulled both of his sabers to the his right side, and swung them simultaneously for Xue's chest as he reached him.

[kozeph]

"Ah now there is something I can work with" the Jedi thought once the dark Jedi told him his last name "I think you gonna need to clean your ears Poxxy, I already told you mine" Xue said as he brought up his lightsaber to block the attack of Kale who rushed back into the fray. Xue was able to block the attack but the sheer force of the impact was enough to make Xue stumble two steps back and without balance.

Quickly regaining his balance Xue came back up into a defencive position clearly from his knowledge of Soresu "Sooo tell me Poxxy, why exactly are you hunting Jedi ehm?" he said again with his habit of giving pet names that usually annoyed people. Xue was trying to find out why he was being attacked, was Kale aligned with the newly emerged sith? or was his private and foolish quest that only would lead to more pain in the end for Kale. But life wasn't that simple and the unorthodox Jedi knew that he would need to work hard to crack Kale's hard shell to find out what had gone wrong.

[Koga]

Kale simply ignored the insult and charged to his opponent once again. As he ran, he tossed his lightsaber up into the air, and as it twirled a few feet above his head, he aimed his now free hand toward Xue and charged the force to it. Quickly, he sent out a weak, rushed shock to his opponent. It wasn't aimed very well, but it was at a relatively close range.

As Kale reached Xue, he slammed is saber up for an upward stab, directed toward Xue's gut. Then, with his free hand he reached up and caught his falling saber. He quickly held the saber across his head and neck to block any impending attacks. "You don't need to know. Shouldn't you be worrying about something more important? Like your life?"

[kozeph]

Xue felt a warning through the force just as Kale threw his lightsaber in the air, he released a small blast through the force while it was sudden the Jedi knight managed to create a small bouble of the force to which hold out against the kinetic attack, since it was created on the spot the small and weak barrier broke and the remains of Pox's attack was enough to make Xue loose a little ground and was sent one step and a half backwards.

The Jedi knight managed to regain his balance enough to swirl his blade back up and with a sweeping motion parried the blow aimed at his gut, they where perfectly coordinate attacks Pox made and it showed that his level of lightsaber combat far exeeced that of the rogue looking Jedi.

Xue stepped in and attacked with short thrust aimed at Pox right shoulder he brought his purple lightsaber back and made a quick "X" with his lightsaber aimed at his opponent chest simultaniously followed by another thrust toward Pox left lung, it was a nice example of what Xue knew of the second form Makashi.

[Koga]

Kale was able to take step back as the Jedi slammed his saber toward his shoulder. However, he was not fast enough. The saber burnt the skin of his right shoulder, but that was about it. Kale was caught off-guard when Xue struck to his chest, but was able to barely deflect it with the light saber in his right hand.

After regaining his balance, Kale quickly dashed back into battle. He sent a quick swipe to Xue's legs, before slashing his second saber toward Xue's chest. His plan was to ultimately confuse him.

[kozeph]

Xue smirked seeing that he managed to make contact, he had to try and restrain Pox and see what had gone wrong in that man life and if there was the slightest chance that he could be saved from the hollow path he was walking.

Xue stood his ground with a soresu stance, he was would remain unflinching or well he thought. He managed to effortly block the blow aimed at his legs but he did not saw through Pox attack completly he was not able to bring his saber into a position to parry away so he was force to jump back Kale's lightsaber missed Xue's chin by an inch although it did not miss the shirt leaving the Jedi knight shirt with a large vertical slash.

"That was a close one don't ya think poxy?" Xue said regaining his balance. The Jedi knight charged back, his free hand aimed at the dark jedi and suddenly it unleashed a bolt of esmerald like lightning, Xue equivalent of the force lightning that the dark siders where so proud off. It was a short blast Xue was not looking to kill Kale and his electric judgement wasn't unleashed to really wound the dark jedi just to surprise him and hopefully leaving a opening for the purple saber the Jedi had, who sent it in a stabbing motion seeking to stab Kale's left thigh


(sorry about the delay it slipped my mind hehe)
