Devlin Dewe vs Xeonon Solomon

Xeonon walked into the beautiful gardens the Imperial Knight was enjoying some nice R&R after a long skirmish against the remnants of the NOE. This however did not mean that he was unprepared for a sneak attack by his Sithly friends, as with all Imperial Knights Xeonon wore their trademark red armour and black cape, nothing special or out of the ordinary like his more ornate ones back on Aargau. Unlike most times though he was not wearing his walking armoury, no he had only his lightsaber on his left hip and the powerful .48 Caliber pistol on his chest.

Walking into the beautiful gardens the back of Xeonons neck tingled almost as if someone walked on his grave and he knew why. Months ago he had, had a dream or possibly a vision of fighting here, were indeed he had been attacked and assassinated in this very room. Turning around quickly he looked over the door frame and was happy as a 15 year old in a porn shop when he saw no one there. Looking back at the fountain he saw a robed man kneeling, no doubt someone looking for forgiveness or rest in the place of serenity.

His loud boot steps would no doubt echo loudly here despite the sound of flowing waterfalls and chirping birds. Closing his eyes he stopped, he could feel the force flowing to the guy, not hatred and evil thoughts. No it was bright and enveloping, whoever this man was he was a lightsider and of course Xeonon being one himself would not attack one of his own without provocation just had to open his big fat mouth. Yo buddy its dangerous times to be doing that, Mandalorians are always looking for people like you... and like me Right now he really hoped he didnt fuck himself over and talk to one of those "rare" force using bucketheads. Even here on this world of serenity they could be lurking, ready to kill us. As he said this he figured what the fuck and immersed himself in the force as well.

He then proceeds to recede within himself, making it look as though he was just resting his eyes whilst standing. He focused on drawing in the force but everytime he did so it was not the "pure" force he had experienced years earlier under the tutelage of the Shard Eralam. Instead it started out calm cool and collected like that of a Jedi but as time wore on and he started to get impatient it shifted to a darker form. It flowed into him like he was stretching his muscles but everytime he realized he failed he released the tension.

After what felt like five minutes (when in fact it was a few seconds) of failure he decided to = visualize a well. He then looked into the well and inside was a liquid, submerging his mind into it this was what he was trying to find. He let himself be submerged in the force as it was meant to be. He felt at peace and as though he could do anything, be it good or bad. He then withdrew from the pool and opened his eyes to see if that man had moved. It was more to show that he was not a threat to him but also to calm himself, for it seemed every time he met someone one on one he always ended up fighting them.

A very apt question indeed and even here although danger could be just around a corner even here. On this world that is totally not known for ever instigate a galactic war. Ever. Mandalorians are never to be discounted, they are some of the most feared warriors in the galaxy and with them declaring war on Force Users in general well... Leaving his statement open ended he moved on as the writer tried his damnedest to come up with a reason to fight. My weapons are always at the ready, I have had to learn that the hard way, having lost his right arm, both eyes and much of his body being burned. Taking the blade into his left hand and smiled. Im ready now Jedi.

Hmm walking tanks, or space monks with a couple super powers its a tough call The pleasure is mine Master(?) Dewe, Flipping on his own switch for the silver hued blade Xeonon raises the blade double handed above his head in an opening stance for Djem So. Xeonon Solomon, I live in a waking nightmare A Tad dramatic but it got the point across, as fate would have it Xeonon just had fight after fight after fight. The galaxy despite having known peace for countless generations seemed to be in constant turmoil these days.

Now for the fight, starting off slow Xeonon walked towards his opponent who was nearish a fountain (correct me if I am wrong) blade in line with his spine when he was roughly seven feet away he sped up lounging forward and swung down putting the full force of his own weight plus the added strength of his first implant hoping to muscle his way through not only the lightsaber of Devlin but also the mans own strength by surprising him.

As he swung, Xeonon was surprised he had taken the man as a head on fight kind of person. One who would try to match strength for strength, that or misguide him with his opening stance. It seems his guess was off and now he could pay the price, as predicted Xeonon followed through with the momentum given to him by the deflection to strike at the mans left leg. A leg that was no longer there.

As the leg was no longer there Xeonon stopped, partially to gather himself but mostly because the man had his lightsaber a few inches from his throat. The heat from the blade noticeably increasing but not causing him any real harm. You know I am pretty parched right now. Maybe we should go for a little dip eh? With that Xeonon reached out with his left hand lightning fast, and attempted to grab hold of Devlins wrist before jumping back. He would force his head down so that if directed to it the blade would go over his head. The location of the jump? The fountain. Hopefully if all worked out the two of them would end up in the thigh deep water.

If of course his gambit did not work out Xeonon would still do Devlins work for him and jumped in anyways. Just as his blade would hit the water in either case he would thumb it off to make it look like the blade was water logged and would not work. That however would not be the case as Imperial Knights were made differently than most traditional blades of the past using Bifurcating cyclical-ignition which effectivly made his weapon water proof. Hopefully this Jedi did not have the same make as his.

As he hit the bottom of the pool Xeonon pushed himself up with a gargantuan effort he pushed himself out of the water. Just for effect mind you, when he came up water sprayed everywhere it was like a scene out of a movie and much like the macro this Kraken would destroy all in his path. As the water went down his armour he took off his right hand armour, partially in prepartion for later but mostly to let water out of his armour. As it poured out he smiled. Ah but Master Dewe its a hot day and we need to keep cool.

Having opened himself to the force earlier he now jumped into his metaphorical well. Twisting his both of his hands in a circle he concentrated hard on the idea of a funnel. With Devlin standing in the water he twirled the water around his feet and raised the water around him in a vortex that would hopefully surround his whole body like a piece of chicken in a burrito. Using the force whirlwind in a round about way he hoped to get the man submerged in a mini water tornado twirling end over end round and round in the water to disorient or maybe even drown the man into submission.

Xeonon would of course keep an eye on the mans well being he didnt really want to kill him if he could avoid it.

Xeonon had to admit, this man was good and he smiled for a minute as he watched the man escape from his vortex. He was not in tune with the force as other people were due to a little experiment done on him long ago and he doubted he could have escaped such a fun ride. Having released the force as soon as he escaped it Xeonon exhaled and inhaled sharply, he could feel a bead of sweat making its way down his back despite it being wet.

As the blade sprung out he was taken off guard, he was hoping that it was to wet to function and it did indeed hit him, however the armour was his saving grace. The tip of the blade about an inch hit him right in one of the phrik filaments. Having literally just wrote about the armour not 10 minutes ago I really dont want to go into detail so instead I will just do this if you want a full read on it. Of course that was only the center of the blade the rest of it was just normal durasteel which melted and burned into his flesh right below his belly button. Thankfully because of his implant he could also take more damage but that was not to say this burned like a son of a bitch. Jumping back before it could do any more damage, like melt through the phrik his face was a sneer to mask the pain.

As he jumped he did two things, with his right hand he reached down and swatted at the blade with his forearm. He hoped that Devlin just thought it would be a natural reaction, instead of him trying to short circuit the blade with his cortosis gauntlet. The second thing he did was reach up for his .48 Caliber pistol. While he was in the apex of his jump, he had it in his hand and he fired it. Sure he could have gone for the kill shot but he wanted to have the most chance of hitting so he aimed for Devlins center of mass. The bullet was a little different than most, it was filled with depleted barridium rounds, which upon contact the tip would shatter making it easier to penetrate armours, however as Devlin had not armour all he had to do was hope it hit him Not hot enough it seems His face turning into a pained smile

His gun now empty he placed it back on his chest, while snapping his own silver blade back on. The tip was touching the water sending out a stutter of steam as the plasma touched the water. Its not permanent, could take up to several minutes though it always varies on the craftsmanship of the blade. Sorry about shooting at you, I was scared. Seeing as his opponent was defenseless Xeonon waded on over his blade held off to the side on his right his eyes clearing looking at Devlins right arm the whole time. Of course it was a rouse and as he made it to striking distance again he swung at the mans left forearm trying only to injure it just a small slice. Think I can leave the pool now Master Jedi?

As his attack swung by the agile Jedi Xeonon couldnt help but think of his fellow Judge Adi, both of them seemed to avoid confrontation and skirt around their opponent looking for an opening. As the force push hit his wrist it made him stumble alright, it made his back face Devlin, and he lost his footing in the water just as his legs hit the edge of the fountain. Doing some of his own badassery he fell back onto the ledge and did a cool roll onto the ground standing back up. Yeah I totally meant to do that.

May I? He said as he dipped back into the force, this time however it was a little different. Focusing on the mans hand, more specifically the lightsaber in his hand he "grasped" it in his mind and attempted to pull it from the mans grasp. Pretty much force Rend, the attack would pull the blade to Xeonons outstretched hand while pulling the rest of Devlins body the other way. If he lost a few fingers in the process well...

All the while his own blade was prepared to strike but held loosely at his side.

As he caught the blade in his hand he dropped it behind him letting it hit the bottom of the pool hopefully taking it out of commission for the rest of the duel. Maybe that was a mistake, maybe not only time will tell if he will learn to regret this. Those look pretty nifty gotta show me how to make em and stuff after this. Switching hands Xeonon raised his silver blade to throat height so that the blade goes in front of his neck. Your turn.
