Elizabeth Hawthorne

Location: Emergency Room
Interacting With: Amy Chang @Lady Amalthea

Although Elizabeth was 'unconscious', she could still sort of sense the world around her, hearing the doctors and nurses as they were trying to help her, eventually she no longer felt the pain of her wounds and then the background noise of the hospital got quieter and quieter until there was nothing. Then her breathing started to slow down, becoming quieter and quieter until it stopped as well, it felt like she was in a black emptiness; a void. Where was she? Was she dead? Was this the afterlife, if it was, it hadn't been what she expected, not that she really speculated what life was like after death, but this isn't what she would have pictured.

Slowly she started to hear the sounds of the hospital come back, felt the doctor examining her healed wound and then her eyes shot open, gasping for air that she had been deprived of for quite a bit of time, a little dazed as she tried to remember where she was. “Where...am I?” She spoke to Amy in shallow breaths, struggling to sit up as she took off the oxygen mask that felt more like a hindrance to her currently than a benefit.

Though still slightly confused, Elizabeth took notice that she no longer felt any pain from her injuries, looking over them with her hands, the palms sliding over the smooth skin, “What? I'm healed? But how?” She asked herself as she continued to stare at her arm, turning it over to see if there were any cuts left only to find none, well that sure was a mystery. Then something drew hear attention to Amy, hearing her heartbeat, it slowly getting louder, almost calling to her until she shook her head, placing a hand on it, she had no idea what was going on, perhaps she wasn't really awake and was just experiencing a vivid dream whilst unconscious or maybe they put her under to treat her, she didn't have a clue, hopefully though she could sort it out quickly.

Iri Asichi

Name: Iri Asichi
Race: Pantoran
Age: 24
Sex: Female
Theme Song:

Appearance:

Iri

Iri has the notable appearance of her people, her blue skin and yellow eyes as well as gold markings on her face make her easily identifiable as a Pantoran. Her features are smooth and somewhat petite, often giving her face the expression of someone who is kind, innocent and perhaps naive, something that she uses to her advantage quite often. Her hair is dark violet and at a length just past her shoulders that somewhat overtakes her lean and athletic build, a build that she tries to keep thanks to it allowing her to be fast and agile. Her attire consists of a beige tunic with a dark brown robe over it, something that can make her body appear smaller than it really is.

Background/History:

Iri was born on Pantora, her parents worked in politics, hoping to become a senator and ambassador to help aid their people. During a visit to Alderaan for trade negotiations, Iri had been kidnapped and a ransom was placed to her parents which they quickly paid to get their daughter back, but when the time came for them to retrieve her, the person who had kidnapped her had sold her to the hutts already and ran off with the ransom; she was searched for to no avail.

Over the next few years she spent her life in servitude, going from master to master as she was constantly bought and sold by them, something that she severely hated and on multiple occasions planned escape with other slaves, but those never really worked out, at least for her. They would either be caught and she would take the blame so others did not have to suffer or she would help them escape first and then was recaptured before she could escape herself.

As more time passed, Iri's hope for escape dwindled and her spirit had been broken, her escape attempts slowed down until she was the perfect obedient slave that all of her masters had wanted from her but could never produce results save for the last one that purchased her. Iri was in her cage one night when a group of troopers along with a Jedi broke into the palace, sent in to rescue the other slaves as well as her; the Republic knew about the slavery, but they could do nothing about it officially since they did not control the planet she was on.

It seemed to be going well at first, she and the other slaves seemed like they were going to escape, however the palace guards surprised them and began to attack the Republic troops, cutting Iri off from the other slaves that were starting to be put on a transport ship; the Jedi hastily went into action, defending the troops as they got them onto the transport. Iri's hope started to fade once more however when some of the palace guards started to use shock whips on the Jedi, he easily avoided them at first, but they eventually overwhelmed him and shocked him to where he collapsed. She watched as they got their vibroswords out, ready to finish off the Jedi, she couldn't watch that happen, she knew if he died, she might not ever get out of there and extended her arms out as they were about to kill him, a burst of the force coming out and knocking away all the guards.

The troopers helped the Jedi up and then got him as well as Iri onto the transport, speedily leaving off the planet and back to Coruscant. The Jedi she'd saved saw the potential, she had to become a great Jedi and requested that she be trained, she was considered too old to begin her training, but the Jedi did make exceptions and the Jedi, Alidar Snitri, made a strong case, which the council eventually agreed with and allowed her to be trained as a Jedi.

Her training progressed exceptionally quick on Dantooine, her lightsaber prowess had a strong impression on many of the masters on the planet and though many would have thought her background would make it difficult for her to follow the rules and training of the Jedi, she adapted to it rather well. Eventually through years of training and missions with her master, she was allowed to begin her trials, passing them all and was rewarded with the rank of Jedi Knight and is now ready to fully serve the Jedi Order.

Personality:

Iri is laid back when it comes to many things for the most part, she is very kindhearted though she isn't afraid to speak out against something she doesn't agree with, but she tries to get along with everyone for the most part and she's real easy to talk to. She tries for the most part to follow the code of the Jedi, the order saved her and she wants to return that kindness by being what the order feels she should be among their ranks.

She enjoys spending her free time relaxing outside, sparring in the training room or catch up on her light reading. Whilst she doesn't have many dislikes, her largest one is slavers, growing up as a slave, she understood how others who were captured felt and if some are mentioned or are spotted by her, she can become very angry towards, even sometimes struggling to not immediately attack them and free the slaves that they have with them.

With her incredible lightsaber skills, she chose to go for the sentinel path of the Jedi, it was a balanced path that focused on both the force as well as lightsaber combat and she felt that was what was meant for her.

Iri has a pretty good sense of humor for the most the part, she can partake in many jokes and teasing, though she can become a bit more quite and shut down should slavery be joked about, she won't lambast someone for joking about it, she knows there are different senses of humor, but she'll refuse to be apart of it herself.

Iri's emotional state can be described as calm and peaceful, she tends to go with the flow a lot of the time, always feeling the need to examine the force and potential outcomes before she takes action, something her master taught her very well. However that can change very quickly should she come across slavers or if slaves are endangered and will throw caution to the wind to try and save as well as kill the ones who are responsible for all of it.

Her reputation is moderate, many in the order know who she is because of the missions she's went on as well as how effective she is with using her lightsaber, in addition, many known about her past as a slave and her opinions on the matter, including many of the Jedi Masters who see great potential in her to be one of the best Jedi the order has. Many of the learners who have not received a master yet are hoping that she'll select one of them to begin their training, though she has yet to take on her first apprentice, she is considering it.

Iri is benevolent and caring, though she can be quite reckless when it comes to slavers, she feels that they are less than anything in the galaxy and deserve a fate such as slaves have had or much worse such as death and often struggles to control herself when it come to the people described before, but she does her best to remember the code and calm herself, though it isn't easy.

Iri walks a fine line when it comes to her morals, she believes that everyone should be protected by the Jedi if they need it, however she is not against people being killed, even if they are unarmed, mostly criminals really, she feels that if they did a serious crime such as murder or slavery, they'll do it again when they get released and a blight like that shouldn't be left alive in the world.

Iri's known languages are, Basic, Binary, Togruti, Twi'leki, Huttese, and Mando'a, many of these languages she learned thanks to her years as a slave, the only ones she chose to learn of her own accord being Togruti and Mando'a.

Iri's main focus at the moment is to become a Jedi Master and obtain a position on the Jedi Council as well as take on an apprentice of her own, her secondary goal, though quite ambitious and almost impossible on a galatic scale, is to try and abolish slavery on all the systems that still have slaver laws.

Iri seeks to one day find and be reunited with her parents.

Skills/Abilities:

Iri is substantially skilled two lightsabers, her path being that of the Jedi sentinel, her best forms are Djem So as well as Niman, the latter she's able to use thanks to her modified lightsabers which can connect at the base of the hilts to form a double-bladed lightsaber. In addition to that, she's fairly skilled with the force, about on average to above with most force users, easily able to use the force to manipulate objects or to influence people to do what she wants, making sure to not abuse the latter.

When it comes to abilities outside of the Jedi, they're somewhat limited, she's only really good with computers and even then there are probably others who can work faster and better than she can on one, but if there's no one else around, she can get the job done in a timely manner. The thing she's most proficiet with is anything that has a blade, so lightsabers, vibroblades and swords, knives, but when it comes to blasters, her aim is terrible, mostly being because she hardly ever uses them and feels that the only thing a Jedi should use is what defines them.

Iri can use telepathy, such as force push and pull quite easily, as well as mind manipulation to get others to do what she wants. Her combat style with the force is fairly aggressive, mostly thanks to her past and whilst she hasn't tried to search for teachings, she has dabbled in one force ability which is force choke and that was used only on rare occasions when it involved slavers, something her master was quick to try and get her to avoid.

Her combat style is balanced-aggressive, having chosen more aggressive forms such as Djem So, she feels that with the path of the sentinel, Jedi like her should be a little more focused on aggressive attacks, but not so much so that they forget to keep up some of a defense, it works for her for the most part so she sees nothing wrong with a more confrontational style.

@Dark Wind Alright, here's my third character, was really inspired with this one, hopefully she's accepted, also knowing me I'll probably be making more in the future. XD

Star Wars: Forged By Fire (KOTOR)

@Lucky Knight I know that feeling. XD I'm sure you'll get it how you want to eventually.

Star Wars: Forged By Fire (KOTOR)

Finally able to post! :D also @Tsar Gatto I set up the stage for our characters to interract, may or may not be the most fluid since I wrote it a bit tired, but I can always fix it later. XD

Star Wars: Forged By Fire (KOTOR)

Xeviiy Sinclair
Leon Athos
Coruscant

Xeviiy gave a weak smile to Anna when she gave her some reassuring words as well as resting her hand on her shoulder, “Y-Yeah, probably just tired.” She trailed off at the end. As the three of the walked out the building and began heading towards the temple, Xeviiy didn't say much, rather she just stared at the ground as they moved, Leon looking to Anna when they both noticed she wasn't her excited and eager self that they had met earlier.

Leon couldn't help but try and figure out what was going with Xeviiy and said to her, “So do you want to talk about what happened in there? You seemed...worried, scared.” Xeviiy bit her lower lip, upset with herself that she let her mind trick her as well as freezing up to a nonexistent enemy. She placed her hand to her chest, gripping it as she remembered the vision in her training, how it had felt so real to have her chest cut, “I...It was a training session, the practice was to teach me some important lessons, I thought I had been okay with it, but I guess that wasn't the case.”

Leon nodded his head and then rested his hand on her shoulder, “I understand, so what ever this lesson was, I take it you pushed it to the side instead of reflecting on it?” Xeviiy seemed to be surprised he knew how she had acted with that training lesson, “Yes, but how did you know that?” She asked as she drew her attention from the ground to him. “I was the same way and it's the same with many Jedi, if something is traumatic enough, it can come back to you unexpectedly.” He responded to her, understanding what it was like to have a Jedi lesson effect him because he didn't sort it out right away.

“It was a man, his image kept switching with yours and I froze...” Xeviiy trailed off, her head returning to the ground once more. “It's alright Xeviiy, just take some time back at the temple to sort it out, I'm sure it won't bother you anymore after that, I trust that you're a good Jedi, but there's also the mission coming up that we have to worry about, it's important and we need everyone to be alert and prepared and if this happens again, it could put you or others in danger and I don't wish to see you or anyone else get hurt.

“I will, thank you for your words, I'll try and be ready for the mission, I won't be an anchor to you guys, I promise.” Xeviiy responded.

Leon gave a small smile, “Don't worry kid, I don't doubt that for a second.”

They soon arrived at the temple, heading inside, Xeviiy turned to them and bowed, “Thank you for the a small tour of the Republic HQ as well as for the sparring match, I'll try to do better next time.” She then turned back around and started to head towards the section of the temple to where her chambers were.

“I look forward to a rematch...Oh yeah, what's your master's name? I wish to speak to her before me and the Lieutenant head back.” He spoke to her, wishing to find out what her training lesson was.

“Her name is Kasari Sorreast, she has slight dirty blonde hair, shouldn't be too difficult for you to find her.” Xeviiy responded with a half wave as she continued on towards the area the had her room.

As she passed through different sections that were for different ranks of Jedi, she couldn't help but pause at one door, there was someone on the other side, they had a slight familiar presence, but she couldn't place it, her curiosity getting the better of her once more, she slowly approached the door, pressing a button on the side panel and the door slid open, revealing a female Cathar before her.

“Oh, forgive my intrusion I just sensed someone a bit familiar in here, wait I remember now, you were in the room speaking to my master when I was in that vision that woman put me in.” Xeviiy spoke to the meditating Cathar, a little curious as to what she had discussed with Kasari; though the vision wasn't too far behind in her thoughts either, but perhaps a small conversation could help her relax before she took the time to reflect on how things unfolded and how to resolve the turmoil she had felt earlier that day.

Leon began his hunt for the woman that Xeviiy described, Anna was curious as to why they were still there looking for the padawan's master and was unable to hold her question back, “Sir, why are you looking for the girl's master instead of heading back?”

“I'm curious as to find out what kind of lesson she had.” He merely responded as he continued to look out for Kasari.

“Does that really matter? I mean she was probably just tired and that's why she froze up when you were sparring.”

“It matters because if she was forced to face something, something she wasn't prepared for, it could have a lasting impact on her that lasts for a while, that's why we have to find her master and no, she didn't freeze from fatigue, you heard her, she kept seeing some man in place of me, something about her training scared her and it flared up when we were sparring.” Leon answered, a little irritated what it could possibly be.

“I see, well do you think she should still be on the mission then? I mean she's still just a child, plus if whatever training she did is effecting her, then she could put the mission at risk.” Anna responded, no doubt concerned about such an important decision.

“Yes, she should still come, the Jedi aren't ones so easily deterred from things like this, I've had days like she's having and I'm still whole, have faith in the padawan like I have faith in you.” Leon glanced back at her, giving a small smile. He understood Anna's concerns, but he knew that you had to have faith in people, even if it seemed like they perhaps weren't suited for the task, it could easily be the same with Anna, she didn't have any combat experience and whilst this wasn't a mission to start a fight, no doubt others would prefer someone with combat experience, but Leon believed Anna could do it and that's why he was trusting that Xeviiy would be able to handle it as well.

Anna let out a sigh, “Alright sir, I'll have a little more faith in the kid and trust her to be an asset on this mission...” She responded, pausing for a moment before continuing, “...so that was pretty impressive when you sparred with her, I couldn't really imagine you with a lightsaber, you just don't seem to have the look or feel of a Jedi.”

He let out a small chuckle, “Yeah, well when you bulk up in the Republic, it's easy to seem like you don't belong with the Jedi, but thank you, I'm glad I was able to impress you.”

“I suppose so.” She gave a small giggle, then added, “The weapon of a Jedi is impressive, i'm surprised you gave up the Jedi Order so easily.”

Leon glanced back at her once more, “It wasn't easy, it was actually really hard to do.” He was quite for a second, then said, “Well how about you see it up close.” He chuckled, taking it off his belt and then lightly tossed it to her.

“Wow, it's a lot heavier than I had expected.” Anna responded when she caught it, looking over the chromatic weapon.

“Well the hilt is a bit heavy, but the blade itself is actually incredibly light, it's weight distribution is sort of opposite that of a vibroblade, so instead of the weight in the blade, it's in the hilt and as a result, it can be difficult for non force users to wield the blade effectively.”

“Well don't you just swing it for the most part, like any other bladed weapon?” Anna asked quizzically as she handed his weapon back to him.

Leon shook his head, “Anyone can swing a sword or a lightsaber, but a true combatant can wield sword in an effective way, only those that are either incredibly disciplined or able to use the force can use a lightsaber to where it is an extension of the person, does that make sense?”

Anna scratched her head a little, “I think so.” She merely responded, not fully understanding how a lightsaber that was a sword was somehow different from the other bladed weapons that were manufactured, but she trusted Leon's words.

Leon soon spotted a dirty blonde haired woman that seemed to fit the description Xeviiy made, “Well I can explain it more after were done here.” He responded to Anna once more and then started to get the attention of Kasari, “Hey, Master Kasari Sorreast, I wish to speak to you for a moment.” He shouted to her, beginning to make his way towards her.

@Tsar Gatto Awesome, really interested in our characters meeting when I can get the chance to get my character back to the temple. :D

Elizabeth Hawthorne

Location: Emergency Room
Interacting With: Danica Graves, Amy Chang @Lady Amalthea

---

---

Elizabeth groaned slightly when her fatigued body was moved onto the stretcher, not that she wasn't appreciative of the help, but her body just seemed to want to give up and lay there, but that obviously wasn't an option not if she wanted to survive this ordeal. She glanced between the doctor and Danica as they spoke, noticing how her cramps seemed to be getting a little worse, Elizabeth wondered if there was more to what was ailing her than she was letting on.

Elizabeth followed the doctor's orders and took a few deep breaths, though it was a bit difficult and she coughed when she exhaled them, her chest felt tight, almost like someone had set some weights on her. “Well I had went out for a run earlier today, through the woods and I thought that would be a good place to exercise then someone attacked me with multiple knives or something, I'm not really sure. I managed to get away from him when some other psycho came up behind me and put is teeth into me.” She responded when Amy asked what happened.

Her attention returned to Danica once more when she saw the woman looking around almost cautiously, did she perhaps know something the others didn't and did it perhaps have to do with her cramps, it was uncertain and she certainly wouldn't pry, especially not now when her wounds were still bleeding, but it might be something she'd have to ask when the time was appropriate.

She winced as she gritted her teeth when the hoodie was removed from her arm, flaring up her wound once more as the dark crimson blood was exposed to the air once more. Though Ellie didn't know it, thankfully the wounds weren't seriously deep, they'd just require a few stitches and there wasn't any real infection developing yet, all that would need to be done would be cleaning them and then stitching them up. “I don't if it was an animal or not, it was fairly dense in the woods and it's face had been shadowed, from what I saw, it looked like a man with horns or something, I just thought it was some crazy in a costume what with all the chaos going on outside.” She answered back to Amy.

Elizabeth soon found her eyes starting to get heavy once more, finding it even more strange now than before, sure the whole ordeal was exhausting, but even she knew that she shouldn't be this fatigued. She did her best to stay awake as she was being examined, her eyes closing for a few seconds before opening immediately then once more returning to their half opened state, “If you guys don't mind I think I'm gonna fal-” Her head fell to the side as she went unconscious, the culprit of both that and her sudden fatigue was her pulse rapidly beginning to slow down.

Star Wars: Forged By Fire (KOTOR)

Xeviiy Sinclair
Leon Athos
Coruscant

Leon felt the same as Anna did, he hoped that the Mandalorians weren't about to bring war to their door step, sure there was quite a few years of peace, but in the grand scheme of things, it was relatively short, especially if another war was on the horizon. The younger 'pups' of the Republic however seemed to want a chance to prove themselves in battle, be remembered as great heroes like Leon sort of was, hell he even felt that way when he joined the military, though it hadn't been glorious like he had imagined, it left a lot of scars on him that even to this day, he still dreams about.

He was broken from his thoughts as they started to get their food from the cafeteria, seeing the gray blob slowly fall onto his tray, it may have provided all the nutrients and vitamins they needed, but they could have at least mad it taste better. He glanced over at Xeviiy who was picking her own food, mostly sticking to a few fruits that they had before going over to a table and taking a seat.

Xeviiy glanced at the gray blob that was supposed to be food, poking it as it's gelatinous form jiggled a bit, part of her face that was visible giving off a grimace, looking up to when Anna spoke to her, unable to help but giggle a little when she said the food wasn't that bad, only for her face to give her away, “Yeah, clearly it doesn't taste that bad.”

Leon smirked when he knew what Anna was referring too, “Hey, if some mysterious hero leaves a candy bar for me on my tray when I'm not looking, who am I to decline it.” Xeviiy smiled as the conversation going on, the two of them reminding her of her parents, perhaps that's why her curiosity towards them peaked when she first saw them in the Temple.

“Well if the great Major is everything he's described as, I don't know if I'll be able to best him so easily, it's actually fairly funny, earlier today when I was training, I didn't actually want to fight, but after meeting you, something in me is just burning to see how I stack up, strange I know.” Xeviiy responded, her remark addressing the both of them.

Leon let out a small chuckle to Anna's remark, then said to Xeviiy, “It's actually not all that strange, it might be because you're wondering how I'm like a Jedi, but I serve the Republic, using their methods and teachings and weaponry rather than the Order's.”

“Well to be honest, I do find it a little odd, I mean even though your outer force abilities are limited, surely you could have still stayed with the Order, right? To rarely use the force however, I don't know if I'd be able to do such a thing.”

“When I left, I felt I wasn't good enough for the Order, not good enough to be a Jedi with my limited abilities, the Republic showed me that I didn't need that stuff to be great and in doing so, it made me realize I could have stayed with the Jedi, it perhaps sounds strange, but when I was your age, I felt I had to be like the other Jedi and when I wasn't, I thought myself a failure and left them, do I wish to return to the Order? Sure, but not right now, not when I'm with the Republic, it would be a disservice to them for all they taught me.” Leon responded in a more serious tone, Xeviiy understanding a little more why the man left, at times she felt like she wasn't measuring up to what a Jedi was supposed to be, so she could relate to him on that account.

Xeviiy nodded her head, the three of them soon finishing their meal, “So, ready for that sparring match you wanted?” Leon asked with a cocked smile, Xeviiy nodding eagerly. He lead them to a training room where a few recruits and privates were at, some of them practicing their combat skills on training dummies. “So how are we going to do this? You with a vibroblade or...” She trailed off as Leon smirked, “Oh, I have a treat for you, didn't think I'd ever use this again.” He went over to his locker, putting in the code for it and it popping open to reveal his training equipment, inside on the floor of the locker was a small, toolbox sized container.

Leon opened the container, inside revealing various parts that looked like random tool pieces, that was until he started to reach out to them with his mind, Xeviiy's skin starting to get some goosebumps as she watched the pieces slowly float into place, small sparks going off as the pieces combined one by one, then fully coming together with a crystal at the heart of it. The final spark going off when the entire lightsaber hilt was completed, “Y-You still have your lightsaber?” Xeviiy asked, rather shocked as was Anna, “Yeah, I kept it as a reminder of the Order, plus a lightsaber is part of a Jedi and to lose it is like losing a piece of one's self, right?” He smirked to her, Xeviiy nodding, but with a determined cocked smile of her own.

He lead her over to an area outlined that was for practicing hand to hand combat or sword combat, depending on the participants, they both went to opposite ends as Anna stood outside the sparring area, Xeviiy pulling her hilt from her lower back with the force, the turquoise blade shooting out near her arm, “Ah, I see you use the handling of Shien with the Soresu form, huh? It's an interesting combat style.” Leon spoke up, he point his hilt down as a golden blade ejected out, the little commotion that the lightsabers made quickly got the attention of the others in the room and they quickly went over to watch.

“Yeah, the hilt style works best for me.” She merely responded as she got ready for Leon, glancing over when the 'pups' started to comment, 'Is that Major Athos?' One in the crowd asked, 'Yeah, but what's he doing with a lightsaber? He's not a Jedi, is he?' Another responded with a question of his own. “Hey, focus on me, not them.” Leon spoke to Xeviiy, she quickly returning her attention to him, “Right, sorry.” Leon soon got ready to begin the match, giving her one last word, “Also don't hold back, alright?” Xeviiy nodding, a little nervous but also excited.

He soon quickly bolted towards Xeviiy, his body infused with the force allowing for quicker sprinting, something that shocked Xeviiy as she began to block his attacks, this one she could easily tell, it was a variation of the first form, Shii-Cho. His attack was relentless, but she knew that she couldn't just sit around and block forever, not if earlier that day taught her anything; she quickly rolled away from his attack, using the force to push him as she did so just to get some breathing room before she went on the offensive as well.

Leon blocked her attacks as the crowd watched on in awe as the two's blades danced through the air, the familiar noise they made when they went through the air and then clashed with each other, crackling and minor sparks came off as they struggle with one another. Leon wasted no time in going into his Ataru form, quickly once more slamming his blade against hers, once more gaining the advantage as he forced her to slowly go back. It was no wonder he was somewhat of a legend amongst the other soldiers, if this is what he was capable of in just a sparring match, what was he actually like in a war?

He found an opening when his last attack smacked her blade away from her center for just a split second, more then enough time with his heightened abilities to charge into her, sending her off her feet and skidding a few feet away. She panted a little as she started to get up, he was really good, but from how he was standing, it seemed like he wasn't even trying, “Had a good break?” He taunted her when finally managed to get to her feet, a drive in her flaring up as she used the force to push her towards Leon, her lightsaber clashing with his once more as she tried using Djem So, a form she only studied through recordings but never actually practiced, so it was sloppy, but she showed great promise with it.

Leon was actually surprised to see her change in form, he studied all of them when he had been with the Order, so to see her, someone who clearly favor a defensive form and go into an offensive one was rather surprising to him, but he could see that it was sloppy, which told him she used it little or not at all.

Xeviiy feigned to the left, Leon trying to anticipate her movement, only to see at the last second her right hand coming in on him, a blast sending him off his feet and sliding away from Xeviiy; alright, that he had to give that one to her, it was pretty clever. Xeviiy smirking as shallow breaths escaped her, “Seems like you're the one who's taking a break.” She taunted back to him.

Leon cocked a grin as he quickly got to his feet, “I can see why you're with the Jedi, you're pretty clever.” He retorted back.

“Well recent training as given me a few pointers.” She smirked at him, going into her Soresu form once more.

He closed the short distance between them once more as the crowd looked on in awe, not believing that a Major of the Republic was having a sparring match with a Jedi, sure they learned how to fight with bladed weapons, but a lightsaber was a different matter and had a different weight to it than a standard vibroblade. His Ataru form once more was unleashed onto Xeviiy, something she knew she couldn't continuously block every time they clashed, she had to find a way to get out of what was starting to be a repeating cycle.

She noticed that with his offense, there wasn't much defense, mostly at his feet, if she could plan a maneuver that got him off his feet again, she could perhaps disarm him and with the match, no doubt it'd be impressive that she bested a high ranking officer such as him, even with being a Jedi. She went to swipe at his feet when she had an opening, expecting him to jump to avoid the attack, then she could use the force to send him through the air again and then obtain his lightsaber, effectively allowing her to win the match.

That plan however didn't go as she expected, rather than jumping to avoid the attack, he spun around it as well as her, slamming his elbow of his cybernetic prosthetic into her back, making her stumble a bit. She winced as she felt his arm slam into her back, though Leon did his best to make sure he didn't hit her too hard, that arm of his had an added bonus of more strength to it, something he had to adjust too when he first got it.

“You...weren't supposed to do that.” She panted a little as her arm went behind her back, rubbing the spot that had been hit.

“Perhaps you should have thought what other moves I would have made.” He responded with a smirk.

Xeviiy hastily went towards Leon once again, though her sight started to act weird, flashing a different image of what she was seeing for a split second, she ignoring it and then right as she was about to strike, saw the man that she had fought in the vision earlier in the day and then quickly halted her attack, jumping back from Leon, shaking her head to try and clear it, something that he found strange.

“Hey, you alright?” He asked with a tilted head, finding it odd she would cancel her attack and back away from him.

“Y-Yeah just...never mind, let's continue.” She answered back, deciding to go on the defensive with Soresu once again, but only because she didn't know what was going on.

Leon nodded, closing in on her, flashes switching between Leon and the man in the vision, something that was making Xeviiy unfocused from the fight as she blocked the attacks, a constant switch from Leon then back to the man and so on as she shook her head to try and clear it once more. A strong attack from Leon sent her weapon from the weak grip of her hands to the ground, something that Leon hadn't expected as he was in the middle of his combination attack, Xeviiy in an instant froze as her sight changed to the man again, staying there longer this time.

Leon expected her to quickly retrieve her weapon to block his attack, but her fear at her altered sight caused her to throw her arms up to block the attack; his eyes widened, she'd be cut in two if this hit and his forward motion couldn't be stopped now. He swiftly deactivated his lightsaber, just in the nick of time where it was his fist that made contact with her arms rather than the blade, it sent her sliding across the polished floor before hitting a wall that stopped her.

He made his way over to her as did Anna and the crowd, “Hey, are you alright?” He asked the shivering girl that was still curled up. She slowly looked up, her head finally clear, before taking Leon's hand when he offered it to her, helping her to her feet, “I..I don't know what happened, my head...I...” She spoke, still a little shaken and then Leon reach out with the force, retrieving her weapon and handed it to her, “Come on, I think it's time to take you back to the Temple.” She nodded as she took her weapon, placing back on her lower back and then started to walk with Leon and Anna out of the training room as the crowd parted to let them pass.

He wondered what that was all about, perhaps he'd have to speak to who her current master was, perhaps her training took more out of Xeviiy than even she thought, it wasn't clear, though he knew he had to find out, she couldn't be like this when they went on the mission they were assigned, not that he lost faith in her, he just didn't want to see this up and coming Jedi cut down so young in her life.
