Devlin's flailing meant that his blows were fairly uncontrolled. Johun leaped over the low sweep, flipping over Devlin. At the peak of the flip, Johun would be completely inverted directly over Devlin. Johun struck out with his saber at Devlin/s right shoulder. His aim was not to sever the arm at the joint, but to disable it, slicing through the deltoid and trapezius muscles that operated the shoulder. He would land directly behind Devlin, at the ready.

Some might attempt to attack an opponent in the air. Dvelin might too, if he could concentrate on it.
Flicking off his lightsaber, Devlin rolls forward underneath Johun's attack. He pivots on the balls of his feet and stands ready. He wipes an involuntary tear from his eye, the result of the attack on his nose, and smirks. He begins to lift a small rock from behind Johun; not large enough to cause substantial damage, but enough to hurt if it hit.
"Not much of a conversationalist, huh? Too bad."
He propels the rock toward the base of Johun's neck with the Force. As he does, he steps forward, closing to lunging distance then lunges, much like before. This time, however, he takes an extra step with his left foot and springs--kicking his back leg upward and semi-forward in a sort of windwmill/round-off--to his right, attempting to slice into Johun's left side...an attempt to get behind Johun and cut a shiim at the same time.
He just hoped his rock would be enough of a distraction.
"No worries, I could hold up both ends. I'm guessing you weren't born on Corellia?"

Johun squatted and placed his right hand on the ground while extending his right leg and rotated to his right. This caused the projectile from Devlin's to fly over Johun's head and miss. He held his saber upward and diagonal in his left hand in a reverse grip with the blade back over his left arm aimed over his head. This positioning was designed to glance Devlin's saber up and away from himself. With his extended right leg and the rotation during his squat, Johun attempted to sweep Devlin's legs, with Johun's physical legs as well as with projected fighting through the Force.
Beautiful Corellia born and raised, at the Academy is where I spent most of my days.

Devlin flips over Johun's attempted leg sweep as part of the continuation of his previous move.
The Cardooinian pondered the interesting tactic on his opponent's part.
He stabs from behind Johun toward the back of Johun's head in an attempt to land a shiim at the base of his neck.
"It speaks!"
He smirks.
"I must say, for a Corellia, you are remarkably stoic."

I prefer the term focused, to stoic.
Johun flicked the dual-phase switch on his lightsaber. His blade grew from the standard 1.3m to a lengthy 3m. Johun still held his saber hilt in a reverse grip in his left hand with the blade extending back over his arm, shoulders, and well past with its now 3m length. Johun rolled his wrist upward, hyper-extending his wrist causing the blade to slide up from his shoulders. This was an attempt to push the stab up and over his head, but had several issues. One, Johun hyper-extended his wrist and it could cause problems in the future, and two, this movement wasn't very powerful since Johun's wrist and thus blade, wasn't moving alot. If successful, Johun would extinuish his saber and roll forward, away from Devlin./span]

Devlin's blade strikes Johun's dual-phase.
It never ceased to surprise him how many people employed this tactic. You could never tell who would use it, until they did. At least, Devlin never could. ...Not that it wasn't a good tactic.
"Most Corellians aren't so...focused. Except on drinking."
Devlin watches Johun roll forward and takes the opportunity to resume his stance and clear his mind. And vision.
The blow to his face was...distracting...at best.
"It's refreshing to meet a Corellian who prefers to remain, shall we say, less inebriated than the stereotype."

Being raised a Jedi, is far different from being raised Corellian. Even on Corellia.
Johun reignited his saber, its standard 1.3m length. He grew tired of this duel. He had stuff to do. Johun gripped Vormund in a two handed grasp. He ran at Devlin, saber vertical held close to his right hip. As he approached Devlin's left, Johun struck out in a broad sweeping strike with his saber in his left hand, from Devlin's left to right at the level of his naval.

So, Johun attempted a sai tok. Interesting. Many Jedi frowned upon it's use. This one did not...not the Devlin actually knew what Johun planned, until it was executed...or why he might use it.
"True."
Devlin holds firm as his opponent approaches. The Force swirls through his body. He points his left hand at Johun's legs--first two fingers and the thumb slanting toward Johun's torso, the last two fingers slanting toward his feet--Devlin attempts to send a Force Push into his opponent's shins and trip the Corellian so he falls on his face.
If successful, he will then point his lightsaber downward and hold the tip just above Johun's head.
"Perhaps you can enlighten me on the differences?"

The Force Push caused Johun to lose his footing and fall forward. He leaned into it and stretched his arms forward in a front handspring type fashion. Johun pushed off with his hands and landed on his feet completing the handspring. Using his right hand, Johun punched at Devlin with projected fighting. This punch was aimed at the left side of Devlin's face. Still holding his lightsaber in his left hand, Johun followed quickly the initial punch with a left handed punch aimed at the lateral aspect of Devlin's right costal arch. This was designed to try and break Devlin's lower right ribs. This would cause severe pain and breathing difficulties if successful, which should severely handicap Devlin.

It was times like this that Devlin wished he had spent less time focusing on Force Absorb and more time on Force Healing. The broken nose was messing with his concentration and vision.
The Cardooinian's eyes widen.
Devlin's lightsaber was on its way to point toward Johun's head. Then Johun sprang off his hands.
Of all the half-brained, Corellian longshots...
He wasn't sure what the Corellian planned. But, he knew one thing: Johun would have to pass through Devlin's blade before he could move it. ...Probably Johun's head, neck, or the space between his shoulders.
Devlin switches off his lightsaber, though it will not be soon enough to avoid causing major damage to Johun...unless his Corellian luck pulls him through, somehow. However, if Johun survives, Devlin will unleash the last bit of his Force energy as a Push on Johun's head--moving his left hand slightly as the other Jedi flips through the air--in an attempt to drive him upward and backward just before he lands.

Pretty decent fight guys, I did enjoy the read.
However. The two of you are Jedi. Even in a sparring situation, I think your sabers would have been set on the lowest power output possible without just becoming flashlights.
Devlin, couple quick things here. The headbutt. You accepted it and thats really cool, but the way you took the damage was a little iffy. Ever been smashed in the nose? You can't see a damn thing for at least a minute depending on the force of the blow. I did like the continuation of the blood and referring to your nose.
The fatigue factor was a big sore point between myself and my fellow judge on this. There wasn't enough. Now I know this depends on how you RP your Force use. Myself, I get all my tiredness close to the end of the fight, and post things about my body feeling the effects blah blah blah, but thats just me. Other people do it like they are a Force battery etc etc. The two of you are GBA veterans, so I expect a little better on that part.
Johun moves to Round 2 due to a few factors. Hits being a small part of the win. Good luck in round 2.
