216. Sith Saga: Proving Grounds - Trychon

The Jedi Auklar knew he had to change tactics as he did his best to deflect the storm of incoming blows from the two evil sith with his off hand. His time recovering with is one hand had made him a bit more ambidextrous, but he was not thrilled with being tested in this way so soon.

He was running out of room behind him. It seemed the Sith were pretty comfortable in their advancing rhythm... and as Auklar had been reminded the hard way, comfort was not a good thing in a saber fight.

He changed his movement, and when the unmasked one moved forward with a downward blow, Auklar stepped to his right and spun forward, using his handicapped hand as a bludgeon against the side of the head of the Sith as he passed. Good for something still...

He turned and looked at both of them, now from the other side, and took a leap backwards. He knew he couldn't escape them, and if he could he wouldn't be able to risk the innocent crowd in the area whom they'd already taken many from.

The space he'd created between them gave him enough time to gather the force around him and SHOVE.

Raezyr and Trychon flew back nearly ten meters through the air, but managed to retain their balance and their weapons on landing... barely. They started to advance again before being thrown back again. They were more prepared this time and went a bit less than half as far, but still lost ground.

Things looked less hopeful for the two sith, until Raezyr got an idea. I have an idea. Get in front of me. I'll be behind you.

If I'm going in front of you, you'd better watch how you hold those blades VERY carefully Trychon thought in return.

Trychon moved forward and got ahead of Raezyr, unsure of what was going through his head exactly. A second later, he felt much more reassured and his confidence was back. Then he felt the Nitko prepare to repel them again. He steeled himself against the incoming blow, and then he felt a surge of energy flow through him as his confidence had moments earlier. The force shielded him perfectly from the blow.

Raezyr's using our bond to reinforce my abilities! Trychon grinned largely. He felt the room slow down and become more active at the same time, seeing more eddies in the Force, but understanding them much quicker. He saw the Jedi's eyes widen just a bit before he launched himself forward with a quick jump, all but erasing the distance between himself and the reptile.

He flailed his black blade around endlessly, with more speed and more power than he had previously had in him. With each strike, the blocks became later and more clumsy than the last.

In a few moment's positioning, he had his enemy in the position he wanted. He brought about another blow. As the block came down slowly, he altered his saber's flight minutely, and took the Jedi's good wrist. He felt the pain emanating from the alien, but didn't hesitate to bring his blade back around to jab through his midsection and out his back.

Trychon turned his blade off and watched the body slump to the ground, and felt some of the energy leave him. He felt tired. He looked back at his comrade, and saw his shoulders drop a few centimeters as well.

Trychon walked over to the hilt on the ground, and called it to his hand. He flicked the blade on and looked the weapon over in it's entirety before shutting it off and clipping it onto his belt.
