Jerek watched intently as the woman performed her acrobatics around his rock attack. When she jumped from the second boulder, she flew towards Jerek. she landed a few feet from him then bolted in his direction. Upon reaching him, she swung her lightsaber around as his torso. Jerek summoned the force into his legs as quickly as possible and jumped backwards.
The effort of throwing the rocks showed, as he was just barely fast enough to dodge. The blade of his opponent had singed his robes a bit. That was too close for comfort. Jerek looked at the woman's blade. Maybe there was a way for him to disarm her.
He looked past her at the debris of rocks. There was a tiny pebble at the edge of the massive pile. Jerek didn't extend his arm this time, but concentrated on the tiny pebble. It levitated into the air a few feet. It had a slight point to it. Jerek gave it a nudge with the Force, and the pebble went sailing through the air at the woman's blade hand. It was small enough to barely see, but big enough to do some damage if it was fired at a high speed, which it was.

He took a breather, and Nirisi grabbed the opportunity to draw on the Force, herself- and then noticed he wasn't coming at her again. He wore an abstract expression. The thought of a trick instantly ran through her mind. She could sense little, but she wasn't going to sit there and take it.
She jumped at him, swinging her saber at his head with a feral half-cry. Then suddenly, she felt something bore into her right hand. It felt like a projectile. She couldn't contain a gasp of pain, and her saber nearly dropped, but she caught it with the Force, bringing it backto her other hand.
Eyes stinging, hand on fire, she continued through with her attack as well as she could, swinging her saber at his head. Her teeth were gritted, and her entire being was focused on two things- beating this sithspawn, and flooding herself with the Force to detract from the excruciating pain in her hand.

Jerek watched as she jumped at him. He stood there for a moment, waiting. His wait paid off as the rock he launched bored into her hand. He though she would stop her attack as her saber began to drop, but she summoned it back to her before it even had a chance to drop two inches. Jerek watched the blade continue its swing for his head.
With speed unexpected by someone who had used the Force so much in so little time, Jerek pulled his lightsaber up and blocked the woman's blade a foot from his head. With a sneer, he pushed her blade from his face and went into a a cartwheel to the left. He landed in a crouch.
Again, Jerek summoned the Force. He jumped up from his crouch and went into a front flip. As he flew over her, he stabbed downward , at the top of her head. He landed on the other side of her a meter away. some dust on the cliff was lifted from the ground from Jerek's landing.

He responded quickly, quicker than Nirisi could have expected. Through a haze of pain, she saw him going up and over. She blocked just in time, ducking down. She came up sitting on the rocky cliff, facing him a meter way. Breathing with difficulty, she probed with the Force into her hand.
It was a pebble, lodged in her hand. She yanked itout with the Force, gritting her teeth to keep from crying out. A trickle of blood ran down her fingers as the pebble fell to the ground. She stood up, and faced him again, reactivating her saber.
She took a deep breath, and fell back into a defensive stance. This still wasn't over.

Jerek's blade met resistance instead of the woman's skull as he struck. dust form the ground was throw up as Jerek landed. He straightened up to watch for the woman's next move. She seemed to concentrate on something, then the pebble was dislodged from her hand and fell to the ground. Blood started running down her hand as she stood and reactivated her lightsaber.
She went into a defensive stance as her blade continually hummed in front of her. Jerek looked at her. His yellow eyes locked with her feet. most of the time, you could determine your enemy's movements by their footing. His eyes narrowed slightly. She was again waiting for him to attack.
Jerek took a deep breathe of oxygen from Korriban as he thought of a new approach. that was when he remembered the turrets on his ship. With a sneer, he bounced his concentration to the turret mounted on the side of the ship which was closest to the woman.
The turret twitched slightly, then turned upon her. Jerek concentrated on the trigger within the gunner's station. With a slight nudge of the Force, the trigger was pressed against the throttle which aimed the turret. Red laser bolts flew from the nozzles pf the lethal weapon and sailed for the woman's back.

He was using the Force again. Nirisi looked inward, focusing, then extended her Force-sense, looking for the new threat. She found it in his ship behind her. The blaster turret turned on her. Nirisi spun on her heel, bringing her saber around to deflect the incoming bolts.
She jumped out of the way, landing a few feet away. She now felt an overwhelming anger towards her opponent. He could not even face her and fight hand-to-hand like a man. She used the Force to throw herself up in the air, and landed behind him. She pressed the attack, holding her saber in both hands now.
She aimed a savage swing at his head, then suddenly activated her second blade in anticipation of a block, swinging it around to come at him on the other side.

Jerek could feel the woman's anger. He fed off of it like a babe feeds off of its mother's milk. He lapped it up, bringing a quiet sneer to his face. He watched the woman leap into the air and land behind him. He turned as she landed. Her red blade swung for his head. He was able to duck it, but the ignition of her second blade took him by surprise. As she swung it around at him, Jerek went into a clumsy backwards roll, propelled by the Force.
As he rolled, he used his momentum to jump back up to his feet. He reactivated his weapon, having deactivated it when rolling. He watched both the woman's blades hum softly. He had been waiting for her to activate both blades. Now the time had come. Another sneer came across Jerek's face. The woman's anger continued radiating off of her, and Jerek continued feeding on it, building his own strength as well.
With a growl, Jerek leapt into the air and went in a spinning motion, his body horizontal. He came down at the woman, his blade spinning around him like a blade on a top. His yellow blade struck her red one, birthing sparks of gold and a stench that flared both Dark Jedi's nostrils. As the blades of their sabers met, Jerek landed in front of her. He ducked down, avoiding any offense she would throw at him, and attempted a kick for her left knee.
Then, he spun around, swinging his blade for her hip, trying to slice her in half. After swinging his blade around, Jerek rolled to the right, working his momentum again to lift him to his feet. As he stood, sweat began forming at his brow again, a single bead working its way down his forehead.

He was better than she.
Even Nirisi, with her own fair share of pride, had to admit he was good, and probably significantly better than she. Mentally, Nirisi cursed her relative inexperience. She could sense him taking advantage of her feelings. Nirisi slammed a lid on her emotions, squashing them under the power of mind, and leaving nothing but a cold, impassive mask.
He didn't give her much time to pause. He didn't seem thrown off by her trick either, unfortunately. He came at her again, and Nirisi brought her saber up to block his downward thrust, then swung her other blade around to catch him in the head as he came down. He ducked, and she swung her saber about to catch his foot as he lashed out, bland narrowly missed. Then, he swung for her hip.
Nirisi easily blocked the blow on one of her blades, then spun it around with another twist, hoping to throw his saber away from him. Then, she brought the other blade around at his saber hand, aiming to take it off.

Jerek's lightsaber when flying out of his hand by the woman's spinning technique. Then, she swung her lightsaber at him, aiming for his blade arm. Thinking fast Jerek dropped down into a crouch, the lightsaber's blade whizzing by overheard. He quickly rolled off in the direction of his fallen weapon. As he came up out of his roll, he summoned his lightsaber back to his hand.
He ignited it again. The eerie yellow blade popped out and hummed in front of him. He examined the woman for a moment. She was quick, and that doubled-bladed saber of hers was dangerous. It could be used to take an opponent by surprise or work difficult angles. Jerek's yellow eyes narrowed a little.
After another moment of thought, his eyes widened to their normal shape and size. The handle. Of course. Jerek gathered the Force in his legs and released it, using it to propel him forward faster than ever. He ran straight for the woman. As he neared, the insanity was quite visible in his eyes. At the last minute, just as he was within reach of her blades, Jerek did a quick sidestep and spin maneuver, swinging his lightsaber straight down at her saber's handle.

They backed off from each other for a long moment. Nirisi felt more confident now. She had reduced the struggle to one of weapons; quite good for her. She watched him narrowly, trying to gauge where he would next attack. He sprang forward all in a split-second, eyes blazing. Nirisi focused on his actions.
She sidestepped him, bringing her saber around to catch his. Deflecting it, she stepped in closer, bringing her other blade around to singe his hair, letting him know just how close he had come to death, before disentangling and stepping back several feet. She spun her saber in a lazy loop, reducing the rock at her feet to a pile of melted slag.

Jerek's sidestep was avoided by a sidestep of the woman's. It took Jerek slightly by surprise. He couldn't deny that she was quick. As she sidestepped, she brought one of her blades around to block his attack. Then, she swung her other one around to singe a piece of his hair. That too close for Jerek's comfort. He had come close to death yet again.
The woman now stepped back several feet and swung her blades around lazily, turning the ground beneath her into molten slag. Jerek narrowed his eyes again, keeping the anger that he felt bottled up so the woman couldn't feed off of it. His eyes flashed a bright yellow for a split second. He gripped his lightsaber handle a little tighter than before.
The woman had brought him close to death, now he would have to do the same to her. Not now though. The sparring match was over. Jerek would bring her to her knees another time. His thumb found the switch on his weapon's handle and pressed down on it, summoning the blade back to its prison. Jerek clipped the handle back to his belt and continued looking at the woman, waiting to see what she would do next.

A sardonic smile came over Nirisi's face, despite the pain in her hand, as he deactivated his saber. She did the same, reducing her saber to the dead weight of the handle. "Good fight." she said after a moments pause.
She reached out with the Force, just to gauge his feelings. He wasn't exactly happy about his defeat (she had to admit the fight had quite suddenly turned against him), but he had a tight hold on his emotions. She bowed just slightly to him, in acknowledgement, then turned to go back to her bike- retrieving her robe with the Force.
The Force. Sithspit. It apparently wasn't going to let up its persistent tug. Her hand hurt, this cheater was the cause, and she was pretty close to chopping his head off. She didn't need this. She spun around, staring at him. She looked flustered- hair disheveled and blown, robe clutched in one hand- and she felt even worse. "If you're manipulating the Force to do that for some sort of twisted pleasure...stop it."
She had no idea if that was even possible. But right now, she was inclined to believe it might be. Though why anyone would do such thing was beyond her...

Jerek almost reactivated his lightsaber at the sight of her sardonic grin. As she offered the compliment of a good fight, Jerek merely responded by summoning his cloak into his hand and slipping it back over himself. He could feel her try to probe his emotions. As she bowed, Jerek just looked at her.
He turned away almost at the same time as she did. He was almost at the ramp of his ship, when he heard her turn around. Jerek spun around himself, looking back at the woman. He, too could feel the Force's unrelenting pressure. It was keeping him there, as it was doing to her.
"I am not doing anything. The Force is keeping us here for a reason..." Jerek wanted to know what that reason was. Why had it called him to this spot and why wouldn't it let him leave? The Force was too mysterious of an entity.

Nirisi sighed in exasperation. He was having the same trouble as she, and she could sense no deceit in him. She closed her eyes for a moment, drawing the Force about her both to draw more energy and to help her hand. Under her concentration, the bleeding stopped, and the pain lessened just slightly. She opened her dark yellow eyes, and stared at him.
"Alright." she said. She threw her robe over her bike handle, and folded her arms. They just stood there a long moment, looking at each other. "What reason do you suppose the Force has?" she asked, a bit smartly. It was a rhetorical question; neither of them could even begin to understand the depths of the Force. Nirisi had never met anyone who had even come close.
Perhaps they were supposed to do something. Nirisi wondered what. For all she knew, they might justbe stuck here forever. That would be a shame.

Jerek pondered the woman's question. Indeed, what was the Force planning? That concept may never be known to anyone. Jerek had never met anyone who could read the Force to an extent to actually know what it was intending to happen. He looked at her to answer. "I do not know what the Force plans for the two of us. It could range from us becoming allies to being meant to kill each other."
He fell silent after answering and began to reach out to the Force. He was attempting to find out what it planned.

He answered her calmly, and Nirisi suddenlywanted to growl in frustration. It was ridiculous.
She had never understood why the Force couldn't act like a perfectly logical entity. If it wanted something to happen, why didn't it just say so and save itself and other people the trouble of trying to figure it out? Of course, most Jedi would blather on about the mysteries of the Force (which argument, she grudgingly conceded, had the plus of former observation behind it), but Nirisi didn't have to like said mysteries. She infinitely preferred blunt beings who could tell you what they wanted.
Nirisi sourly folded her arms and turned away from her erstwhile sparring partner. If she had to stick around, she didn't have to look at him the whole time. This was awful. They'd be stuck here...
A thought struck her at that moment, and she spun around, gravel grinding underfoot as she did so. "Do you suppose the Force is binding us to this spot, or merely to each other?" if the former, Nirisi had no idea what they'd do. But if the latter, they'd be able to better discover the Force's leading. Hopefully.

Jerek almost laugh at the woman's growl of annoyance. He concealed it though. He pulled the hood of his cloak up over his face, then folded his arms as the woman asked a different question. "Do you suppose the Force is binding us to this spot, or merely to each other?" Jerek looked at her form under his hood's shadow, which covered his face, but allowed his eyes to be seen glowing. The effect on most was very eerie.
"As I said before, the Force's intentions could range from us being allies to killing each other. If we were meant to kill each other, however, you would know it." Jerek pondered more possibilities to himself. What he had said was true. If they were meant to kill each other, they would surely know. They wouldn't have stopped the duel like they had, if the intention was to kill each other. The Force would have given both Dark Jedi a blood-thirsty edge.
Yet, they had yielded from killing one another. Perhaps they were meant to become allies.

Nirisi ground her teeth together. She had never been one for thesubtelties of philosophy, particularly not when pain figured quite prominently in her thoughts. And he was being even less than unhelpful. She folded her arms, carefully putting her injured hand on top. Like he had pointed out, if the Force had wanted them to kill each other, they would have. So it was to be allies.
Nirisi walked forward a few steps. "So I suppose," she carefully kept her tone neutral, "if we are not to be enemies, we will be allies. Neutral acquaintances would not be pulled together so strongly." she stated the obvious. She keenly watched her companion, looking for his reaction.

Jerek rubbed his chin with his left hand. "Yes.... allies. But, now the questions is: Why?" Jerek went back into his own thoughts while waiting for the woman to reply. As he thought, his eyes scanned the area. What a mess the two had made in their duel. A few piles of rocks could be seen around the cliffside. The ground, as well, as some burns in it from a lightsaber. Interesting how the duel had turned out.
It only meant Jerek would be more determined to become stronger and defeat Nirisi.

Nirisi grimaced. Why indeed. Why couldn't the Force just be nice to its poor followers once in a while and just say "here's what you have to do, here's why, and make the best of it?" It would be so much easier!
"Perhaps it is for a reason we cannot yet begin to understand." Nirisi said, wanting just to get away, and quick. Maybe the Force would let them go once they decided they needed to be allies. Experimentally, she eased back a few steps, back towards her bike.
Well, it didn't react as badly as before, so maybe they were getting close.
