Force's Pull

[timtank]

Name:Zanabar Taanzu
Timeline:11 Days after joining sith...

The not well known world of Salecami deep in the outer rim would unknowingly house visitors of darkness and light as the hunt for jedi would never seem to end for Zanabar.He was basically condemned to track down jedi all over the galaxy as not long ago was he taking on two jedi knights. Yes he failed that mission even though he gave his all in the force. He was overpowered and they forced opening to escape and thats what happened in the end.

But this mission was something frightful, he wouldn't be fighting a jedi knight or simple youngling this time, but a full blown jedi master known for her super advanced skills with a lightsaber.He had known he would have to fall back on the full power of the force in order to come out on top and at this point he really had no choose but to win.

The sith clearly was losing more and more faith in Zannabar and at this rate there would be no hope in him going up though the ranks of the sith and joining the esteemed sith lords as a true master of the dark side of the force.
He would arrive about 2 hours into the evening after catching a ride on a Cargo craft headed to one of the cities of the planet. He would have to make a suitable ambush location somewhere and it would have to be outside the city walls.

After leaving the cargo ship without being spotted he would though the robe over his head and move quickly but silently though the shadows of the city before finding himself right out side the walls on a long curving path into a number of strange trees.The jedi would commonly land somewhere away from the city to not bring attention to themselves and get in silently. They try to hide and move about calmly. Although the plan was to trap with the same idea in mind, using the habits of the jedi to bring them down. He would jump from the large serfic of soft slightly wet soil into the tree tops with force jump.

The point would now be to hide himself in the force and wait it out. That would be the best way to deal with something like this, a ambush. The jedi would have to cross the road to make it to the city so the being would walk right into the trap unknowingly unless she could some how pic up on him and what her was thinking.Although thats rare and so it shouldn't be thought of as a problem to be solved and just deal with it. He would grin slightly feeling as if something of increase may be coming his way. He would as always try to turn one to the darkside of the force but if that is a failure she will have to be taken down by tthe proud Zannabar.So at this point waiting calmly was the key before dropping in.

[timtank]

He waited silently in the tree and as well hiding himself in the force.It is often a successful tactic in ambushes. It often works on normal class knights and younglings always fall victim to this. Zannabar would grin slightly as he saw the jedi he took up his saber into his hand and readies to dive down and finish his target in the way of a assassination. That has proven the most effective way to survive combat, by eliminating all chance of a prolonged fight.

Although he was slightly surprised when he found that the jedi had stopped right under his tree hiding place and even called out a challenge. Not just a challenge but a threat of death set upon the ear of a jedi of the dark side of the force. She was prideful and arrogant for a jedi, and one of her apparent age as well. Yes she is clearly very powerful in that she could seek out the energy within Zannabar who was hiding it to the best of his abilities but she could still precisely locate him.

Zannabar's face, hidden behind the cloak he stands there with a somewhat disturbed look on his face. Although he thought about the fact that this women was a master and she was his target so he would have to over come her and put a end to her pitiful life or turn her to the dark side. Although thats very hard to do in that masters are very hard to manipulate in the long run.

Zannabar had correct his look and grins slightly as he is planning to put a end to her. He jumped down and land a good 8 meters back and yelled over "Well Jedi... You seem to not practice form Zero now do you? More of a warrior then a peace keeper... Well, at least killing you would bring some pleasure." He sighs and extend his hand as the force lashes out though the use of his powerful force push as he activates his lightsaber and took a ready stance.

[timtank]

Zannabar was standing totally rooted to the ground in his location unmoved by any force at the moment he took up his favored Djem So stance it was clear what he planned to do.So totally ready and speaking no words he ignites the blade in a flash of bright red. Taking one deep breath he waited with a spiritless look and dead eyes focused only on her. He holds up the saber and as she seems to come at him he reacts with a defencive followed directly by a counter.

with each movement being more amazing and fluid as the one before. He was advancing and moving with her, avoiding strikes and blocking as well before his forceful follow up strikes.Spinning and violently dancing as the sabers crash into each other and devastating from both duelist. Zanabar had right away found that this was the Ataru style something he had entered battle with many times. He felt like many put to much into this style and counted on its fast powerful movements.

Zanabar was pushing her back as much as possiable as she followed up and regains her footing. As of right now there was no real edge do to Zanabar counting somewhat on his force body abilities a bit as well to match the high speed of Ataru style.Although he felt dragging this out would be foolish and he would best go for broke at this moment.

Zanabar keeping up his counter movements and matching the Ataru style just until she was to do a acrobatic aerial type strike.That would be the opening he had been looking for the whole time. in conjunction with force speed he would use the Jung ma attack movement to take the upper hand as he moves in low. She then finds her self being targeted by a slash aimed to cut her down at the ankles.

Though the 360 degree high speed spin moving counter clock wise and following he instantly pulls up his lightsaber in a perry like movement swinging the blade to deflect whatever she has planned and instantly though the power of the force she finds him in range to close for her weapon to defend as he strikes his saber out at her heart to make the only way out would be to make a pretty big movement backwards or to the side.



Recap:

• Zanabar Trades blow for blow with Teer for nearly 20 seconds before trying a plan.
  
  
• He waits for Teer to try a acrobatic maneuver before aiming a blow at her ankles using the Jung ma attack style (The style is executed though a fast 360 degree spin to build momentum and force for a attack utilizing the lightsaber.) to be used simply as a decoy for the follow up.
  
  
• Zannabar follows the attack with a perry attempt at any incoming attack that may come his way before coming within inches in a attempt to impale Teer's heart. In doing this action deflecting or counter attacks thought the use of the duel sided lightsaber would become very hard to preform.
  

[timtank]

Zanabar felt no need to over do it as he was kicked he would simply flow with the movement and execute swift counter attacks to keep up the assault at all times but it would still prove pointless the moment she switched her attack tactics. She was no longer fighting him blow for blow but protecting herself and parrying his strikes. He was keeping his cool the best he could as he had known losing his head in a fight with a jedi master could cost him his head, literally.

Staying clam he maxed out his bodies physical power though the force in order to rain down swift and constant blows that could only be blocked by someone of her lesser physical strength and the strikes would constantly force her back more and more. His face still hidden by the robes he wear only a smirk could be seen as when he felt she had moved back as much as he wanted he jumps about 6 feet back and changes his stance from the powerful Djem So to the slick and precise Makashi as he holds the blade one handed.

Next he would push of and begin a swift assault at a distance as he simply needed to buy time. Soon as he saw the opening he was looking for he stabs his saber forward and slashes to his left in a strike that seemed aimed at the hilt of Teer's saber. Although the point was to distract as he held his left hand over head slightly with palm facing the sky.The moment the swing was complete he arches his back and extends his palm behind him. In doing so a cloud of dirt,dust and small rubble of the dirt road would fly up in between the two. Dirt and dust likely getting into the eyes of the jedi as both are also pummeled with tiny loose peaces of rubble while Zanabar graceful takes a spinning movement back in order to avoid the cloud himself.

After locating her though the force he would be careful to restrict her effectively though the force. the moment after sensing her he extends his hand and along with it the force itself would take a vice grip on Teer's body before he swings his hand to the right of him in order to slam the likely blinded jedi into a thick tree nearly 6 meters ahead of his location and 3 meters to his right.

The grip breaks as that movement is likely complete.He hoped she would lose consciousness so he can get her back to his ship and make her his prisoner.

"Do you understand yet master? The darkside provides us with so many possibilities... So much power! You must know this... In are battle I felt your darkness master... So do you not underst...!He would say defending when she would have likely charged and strikes at him he simply defends.His happy smirk turning into a full on grin as the calm breeze happens to catch his robe and blow off the hood unlocking the mystery witch was his face.

Recap:

• Zanabar keeps up the attack with Djem So to force back Teer before changing styles.
  
  
• Zanabar uses the force to pull up a cloud of dirt, dust and tiny rocks to blind Teer.
  
  
• Zanabar uses force grip to smash Teer into a tree.
  
  
• Zanabar gives a prolonged and pointless speech only to be interrupted.
  

[Foxfire]

Cho did not have a hard time at first of finding them the pirate captain Goolim Tsa had been keeping track of the Jedi movements, so up to the point of her entering the caldera is all Cho knew. Once he was there though finding this one would take a bit of time. Cho entered nearly in the same area as did the Jedi mainly because it was the one of the few area to enter the settlement.

Slowing Cho could then feel the force sigs of two combatants, one of light and one dark. Cho rounded a corner and there under a nicely large tree there they were. By the look of them, a zabrak and a togruta, going at it. Both of these were of different minds of skill one with blades and the other force powers. Cho watched as dust and dirt was kicked up to blind the Jedi. He chuckled as he saw this the next step would have been to throw something at the Jedi that they could not feel coming but the younger sith grabbed hold of her trying to mash her into the tree.

Cho could feel the anger flare in this one as she broke free of the attack and turned back to finally get serious with the dark one. Cho could see as she readied her strike with a power spin of Ataru and gear up with a Juyo. A grand smile broke out upon this noghri's face.

Ah finally a match to my power in the force.

Cho reach out in the force slamming the zabrak with enough power to slam him into a near-by wall knocking him out. The Dark one mattered little to Cho even if they were on the same side. He wanted this Jedi for himself.

Clapping-Yes Jedi very nice the darkness grows within your warrior's heart. Many you have killed. I smell their blood upon your hands. Leave this little one and come to me for I wish to see if you are a mate for me.\

Hissing Cho let his sabers drop from within his sleeves a brought them to mate together to form a dual blade saber of four feet long. The blade leaped to life hungry for the taste of blood. So for Cho he force his mind into a noghri hunter mindset. The beating of the preys heart and the smell of their blood was the only thing flowing through Cho's mind. He could feel her heart beat the sweet salty taste of blood. Finally Cho found the right being to satisfy his noghri hunger.

[timtank]

Zanabar right away turned his style back to Djem So in order to defend from the rapid strikes and he had never seen this frightening style but only heard stories of the great Juyo combat style. Although right before he could change his tactics something sudden happened. He was violently pulled back into a tree and left extremely dazed. He was not totally unconscious although he couldn't hold his eyes open for long and all things he could see was blurry and his hearing was even unfocused.Although he could do no better then wait it off and plot revenge.

[Foxfire]

Cho smiled that she did not get what he was saying....

Here I thought what those who left the Jedi Order were speaking truth, that all the masters were hairy ugly old men. Yet are you a match for my power and skill, you beautiful stava.

Cho smile widened as he lowered his head and stared out of the top of his eyes. A look of a hungry predator staring down his prey and ready for the attack. He gently skimed a little of the force power siphening a slow steady flow increasing by the second.


A quiet calm fell upon the city just before the city bells chimed the hour. To Cho they sounded like bells tolling the death of a loved one, hell's bells. With a force enhanced roar, he attacked starting off with not the simple starting maneuvers of Ataru but the advanced starting skill sets. Each second strike Cho speed up and increased the power till it neared Juyo levels. He hoped at the end of a seven minute run of this she would show his full level of Ataru and maybe some Juyo. Either way he would change it up after that.

[Foxfire]

The beauty of the deadly dance between the noghri and the togurta was aw inspiring. Cho was taken back at how she reacted to each thrust and blow of the duel sabers even the near Juyo levels made Cho a bit distracted. It was not her beauty but the beauty of her skill with her sabers. this of course lead to Cho having an opening for her to land a kick.

The kick struck sure and true. The saber marking upon his chest still ached ever since Renata marked him a traitor. Cho watched as the Jedi twisted and landed some few yards away. Taking a few steps back wards Cho laid his right hand upon his chest and feed off of the pain infusing him with power and focus with in the force.

Looking at the Jedi-Very nice Jedi. We are nearly the same level of skills in the sabers. But knowing the skills and having used them and knowing how to kill is quite another matter all together. Ready yourself my pet.

Grabbing hold of his robe Cho in one maneuver threw it off. His gray skin glistened in the sun. His scars showed years worth of fighting, but what stood out was the purpled circled cross upon his chest, the mark of a traitor. Cho rolled his saber in his left hand which switched off the back blade. Then tilting it skyward the blade doubled in size and power.

A skin crawling smile grew upon his weathered face. Wroth's eye began to glow with force power as he reached deeper into the darkness. The sound of static popping steadily grew as he channeled force lighting with in his right hand. Cho raised his right hand. Nearly point at the Jedi Cho let a small bit of force lighting burn a scar into the ground. Slowly the dust cleared and Cho's smile deepened. Bowing his head Cho charged Cho let a bit of force lighting zing past the Jedi's head this was nothing more than a ruse for Cho was really just getting close enough for a few stava nerve strikes. He twisted his shoulders to strike with the doubled lengthened blade. This gave him the right position to grab hold of her left leg with his force tendrils wrapping it clear up to the hip. Having her in one place would slow her agility and what is more he was now touching her surmising her next moves by the twitching of her leg muscles.

The tendril writhed as it held fast letting Cho sense she was getting ready for his strike. Rolling his left shoulder Cho brought down a hammer strike of Juyo enhanced power. Cho then reached out to nerve strike her left shoulder. What would happen only the force would fully know.

[Foxfire]

Cho felt the response before she fully moved but his strike was on it's way. The strike hit solid yet he felt her move again. He saw the blades slide past her face and toward his right hand. He had been here before always pushing his mortality. A reverse rotation of his handle and the blade died and faded with in inches of his wrist.

Anger welled up in him not at her but for him overextending himself like that. Cho quickly brought up a force bubble of minimal strength. The thought of using this maneuver in this way brought back thoughts of his child hood. He let the tendril fade away and with a sudden pop made the force bubble expand giving them room to fight once again. Spinning through the air Cho saw that he was going to land in a corner of a set of buildings, though poorly constructed.

Landing a fumbling back wards into the corner he allowed himself to test the strength of the buildings in case these to were going to serve him later as a debris storm.

[timtank]

Zanabar had been down for some time as his wounds were to the head and he was beyond dizzy and couldn't see correctly. It was a fight of masters and Zanabar was still the odd man out. In the end he only had advanced lightsaber skills plus telekinetic ability that was thought to be advanced. He was still below the two masters as there lightsaber skills were still greater. It was hard to think what he could even do to counter this women.

Zanabar later feels focused and could control his body again. He would stand and look at the women, Cho was the one who blind sided him with the force.He would stand and activate his blade as she tried to taint him, he wouldn't let that happen as Cho knocked him out just to challenge her, so he has to want this women for some reason. So he would step back a few feet into the opening of a closed in space with limited movement room. It would be easiest to move about unarmed and small, but large being like Cho and his saber would have a hard time moving about. Although he could use this to protect from her as well.

He was going to let Cho have this fight, as he didn't wish to know what would happen if he did not.Grinning as he stepped back he would only challenge her if she came after him.

[Foxfire]

Cho watched and waited as the two former combatants stared each other down. The young Sith interestingly positioned himself in a tight place so that would hinder the duel saber style. 'Smart one this one.' Cho had seen just a small bit of their dual. Knowing that the Jedi out matched the other sith Cho knew that he could do it, but the other had best be smart and use his force skills instead of his blades.

Looking at the other sith-I see your back awake. If you don't mind I have business near here and I have finished playing with this one. She needs to go, so if you think you can best her, then I suggest not with a saber that is unless she's a sleep. Otherwise man up and grow a pair and think like a sith, not a bloody Jedi.

Cho's sabers snap hissed to life and he quickly cut a hole into the thin metal building revealing the engine block. In the force he draws his power quietly he mutters a Rakata tome of 'Divine Strength'. As the odd gray force floods his body he lifts the block of it's work station.

Smiling Cho looks to the Jedi-Let's play catch.

[timtank]

Zannabar allowed Cho to talk for whatever reason, although it was unlikely he would speak of it he had some respect for the beast, for helping him clear his mind at least.There was still years and years of rage and hate within the man. This was a battle between three master levels after all, although even with his skill he would have to fight her though the force. even with him being a sith warrior he would often rely on the force but his ability with the force is quite strong as well.

She didn't take the bate and Cho would try to attack her. That was just the distraction he needed. He Gathered the force in his left arm as he waited for his jedi soon to be victim to act. But she never moved she only spoke to Cho, so at this point Zanabar's power had made it to full charge in order to call on the raw force as it turned and twisted softly around the jedi's elegant female body.

Zanabar had known he had her at this point as long as his grip would not falter. Cho had then spoken to Zanbar only to get a grin and simple response." I See..." He would the look at the jedi as he stands with his right foot forward and left palm open, hidden at his side. His blade was extended forward as well, making this a clear Makashi stance, as if waiting to parry a incoming attack. " Well I must say, I am better with my light saber, then I am with the force... Although I can bend the force to my will, as you can see. Unlike her, who only seems to be slave to the living force. " With a grin her way he said "Although I should end this." He seemed to be volting forward at first in order to make the women move.Although it would be seen as a fake for he only moved a foot forward and moved his left palm to point at the women. Although it instantaneously shut tight into a fist.

Right then he tried to have the force twist around the jedi's body and it should feel as if a massive beast had taken her in its hand and applied force with all its might. Was it a hand? No, although it was the raw power of the force crush.If effected She now finding her arms were at her side being totally crushed by a unseen force along with the woman's torso. That force had all it needed to break bones and crush organs if need be.Most would cry out in pain, most jedi masters would break free in less then 20 seconds, if they were strong in the force. The women soon finding herself 4 feet off the ground,likely suffering greatly.

Zan would only smile and wait, if she could break free or go 20 seconds without passing out like many padawan he had killed, he speaks. "Cry out for forgiveness jedi, Understand the dark sides true power now! If you simply beg for your life at this moment I will not only let you live, but maybe help you to join are ranks..." Simply smiling pridefully at his words, he was going to wait for somebody to do something, that something likely being Cho or the women speaking and or gaining freedom.


Recap

• Zanabar Channels force energy for a stronger grip.
  
• Zanabar speaks before faking as if trying to charge the jedi.
  
• Zanabar Activates Force Crush around the women's torso and arms applying force for a total of 20 seconds if she does not pass out from the pain or break the hold.
  

edit
ooc: Look at the post, its not power played.Do you not see the words tried if and should? Meaning this is what could have happend. Last two graphs... So if you have a way to counter it go for it, every thing at the end of the post would have never happened at that point but...ya...

[timtank]

OOC: Well okay then, After all I didn't power play because I left words that imply that it could be countered, I mean it would have made sense to counter like some time after the grip took effect. But whatever, I will play though it. If force crush is power play then any telekinetic hold is power play. And if you don't want to rp with me any more after this so be it, I mean patients would be better... I have been rping for three years and this is the first site I have ever had to type so much and do past tense writing. Plus your the only person to have said I have power-played you... I am doing all I can and you don't have to be so out right disrespectful.

It turns out the jedi did have a few good tricks, as she released the force from her hand and the blast would force Zanabar to turn his energy into a force push of greater strength instead of the faster death he wanted to give her. The blast would end with a upward dust cloud shooting up from the ground. The Zarbak was no fool he would not sit still, he had only to move deeper back and as soon as the women could she followed him deeper as well for she had started striking away and he countered with fluent movements, as if dancing. Empowered though the force he would dive and dodge for as long as he had to. Makashi was perfect for limited space, now that they were in a area full of trees the attacks were being batted downward, he was totally protecting himself only suffering a few minor cuts that wouldn't hinder his abilities. Although She was using a larger saber and a fast wide moving style would only work for Zanabar in this closed in forest space. The awkward movements and fast pace was not easy for this style to work in.

The weaknesses of her saber was out in the open and she was cutting though trees madly, but then she got to a thick tree soon as the awkward slash was coming down the blade slowed down by the tree Zanabar would use this opening. With a swift precise slash only a master could make with the help of the force he tried to dive to the left as he attempted to severed the saber. with the long hilt clear as day only Makashi would work to cut it the right way.He went though a loop made up of roots and branches directly after. With luck she would lose her saber and will no longer fight back. Although Zan wouldn't give the jedi a chance to leave as he would end life there with a saber though the heart of the jedi. He would then walk out into the open and say "Well, I think I will go with you now Cho..." and if the sith allows it Zan would leave with him.


EDIT: Well lmr has left use do to a few problems IC... But I will simply act as if we were fighting a NPC in order to still use this to tie into Fox's thread so...She made it as if she was never a part of the thread so...
