A Basic Course. (Theseus and Mishk)

[Williamice2]

Theseus chose Nar Shaddaa for the location of training this fellow acolyte. The planet wasn't Theseus' favorite place, though it was one he was very familiar with. Which is why Theseus knew this would be the perfect place to learn to wield a light saber. Which as must crime that occurred on this planet, it was almost guaranteed some sort of conflict would arise. If not Theseus could do the work he needed to through some friendly sparring.

Theseus took out his two light sabers and looked to them. Hitting the activation switch on both blades and given them a few test spins. Before deactivating them and sheathing them once more. He looked around and then to the sky, and knew that his partner should be arriving at any moment for his training.

[Mishk]

The roraring of the freighter Engines as it touched ground had barely stopped Before the door opened up. Behind it Mishk stood ready to emerge into this strange quest his master had sent him on.

He glared around and hissed at the many lights lifted into the nightsky of Nar Shadda. Mishk had never been to this planet before, neither any similar one. He felt fear of the unknown thrown at him like this. He had great doubts rushing through his broken mind.

Perhaps his master had decided to get rid of him. This would be the greatest failure for Mishk. He had great hopes of his master eating him at one point. But to be sent away and be killed by some stranger was the ultimate punihsment.
On the other hand, perhaps this was meant to teach Mishk how to bring even more pain to the friends of his master. At least that was what the warlrords directory had tried to convince him of.

With a redish gleam to his Eyes he noticed [member="Theseus Reneun"] - there was something about him, something familiar. Mishk narrowed his eyes but decided to do battle with his inherited instinct to flee. He started down the ramp and with almost soundless steps approached the man.

[member="Mishk"]
Theseus was about to head on over to the local cantina to get a small meal as he waited. This was taking longer then he had initially expected, as he looked about to the many lights. Then turned his attention to the engines of a freighter as he raised an eyebrow. He was aware that this acolyte was apprentice of a powerful man. Though this was a little over the top. Especially on this planet where a freighter was sending up a flare saying important cargo. Which caused Theseus to look around suspiciously and make sure nobody else had taking major interest in the ship.

Then... the moment of the exit ramp coming down, and the man Theseus would be training, came walking down it. Theseus was a bit surprised to discover it was a Jawa... only this wasn't the kind you'd consider given a hug if it wasn't for the fact they tended to carry weapons all the time. Nope... this is a Jawa that would forever leave you with nightmares. Though Theseus didn't mind, it was still a person and therefore Theseus would accept the creature as he would any other person.

Theseus noticed it seemed a little jumpy. That was something Theseus didn't bother needing to use force empathy to pick up. As he decided to take his time to meet the creature halfway. "Hello." he said in a calm tone. As he shook his head a little. "You're probably wandering why you are here.... well the answer is your Master wanted you to be trained to use a light saber, and I volunteered to teach you the basics." he admitted so it was clear off the start what was going on.

 

[Mishk]

Mishk heard the ramp of the freighter closing behind him. the pilot had been oozing of fear during the entire trip. For some reason Mishk believed that the man thought he would eat him. The pilot was right of course. But he would wait until they arrived, maybe even until they had left this strange planet as well. Maybe even until they were back home...

Home... Mishk shivered at the thought. To him home was the only place he really wished for. There he would find the love of his master [member="Zambrano the Hutt"] and resting assured at his great leissure that Mishk was his best friend. Now with him gone, who knew what other friends tried to steal the great darkness attention. Mishk boilded with fury at the mere thought. He would secretly kill all those he supsected when he came back home. There could not be any competition regarding his masters lovable attention.

He stopped in front of [member="Theseus Reneun"] with suspicious eyes glaring at him.

"If this is my massters will I accept your teaching. Teach me how to use the glowing sticks..." he said plainly.

 

[Williamice2]

[member="Mishk"]

Theseus nodded his head. "Glow stick training commencing immediately." he replied as he spun and headed towards the cantina he was fond of. After he opened the door he coughed. "Everybody shall proceed to exit the cantina." Theseus said in a deathly calm tone to make it clear he wasn't messing around. Besides half the men here owed him a favor or two. So, the group calmly left the cantina and Theseus closed his eyes and used the force to rearrange the place to leave enough room for him to teach the Jawa all that he could about lightsabers, and lightsaber combat.

Then Theseus walked over to the table and set one of his lightsaber hilts on the table. "The best place to start is the design of the lightsabers." Theseus said as he used the force to deconstruct the lightsaber. Then went about talking about the various components and there function in the weapon. Before he reconstructed the lightsaber and called it to himself. "If you like sometime we'll get you a glow stick of your own. Though for now you'll be using my offhanded lightsaber." Theseus said as he hit the activation switch and the purple blade glowed and lit up the area. Theseus gave it a few test swings away from the Jawa. "Yep... this should work well. The only problem is with you being substantially smaller then most force users, The blade might be a little large for your center of balance." he admitted.


From there Theseus drew his main handed blade. Then got a feel for it as well. "I'll be teaching you two forms, and only the basic forms. I will be teaching you Ataru or Form IV. As well as Jar Kai or the art of wielding two lightsabers at once." he admitted as he looked to the jawa. "Ataru is focused on agressive, acrobatic, and precise techniques solely designed to take your opponent out with the fewest amount of strokes. While Jar Kai is a more balanced approach that gives you the advantage of versatility." Theseus admitted and hoped the Jawa was following along with his words.

 

[Mishk]

Mishk followed [member="Theseus Reneun"] with caution into the cantina. He was confounded about why all the friends was about to leave. Was he not supposed to learn how to kill? How to shred faces and torsos so that his master would be amused?

Mishk was almost seperated from his doubts as the man easily lifted and rearanged objects using the force. Mishk could smell the decaying blackness eminating from that power. It came no way near his masters wonderful creation but it was cler to Mishk that this man was also a slave to the great darkness.

Then followed the words. It was alot of words, strange ones but they seemed to hold a meaning regarding the lightsabers. He continued watching as his teacher now with two lightsaber described how they might be used.

 

[Williamice2]

Theseus sighed a little bit. As he saw the Jawa was focused intently upon his words, though Theseus was unsure Mishk was properly interpreting the information he was being given. Well needless to say Theseus was ready to help teach this Jawa what he could about combat with the lightsabers. "Generally we'd teach lightsaber combat with not so lethal stick... though we don't have the luxury. Instead I'll train you with these, and perhaps we can work on getting you, your own personal lightsaber, or lightsabers." Theseus said trying to leave off with a few words.

Theseus took a few steps away from the jawa. Then took his offhanded blade and laid it in the flat of his palm. Before lifting it up with the force and slowly moved it across the room, until it hovered in front of the jawa. "Make sure the lens, is away from you. If it is pointing at you and you activate it, you will likely be sliced in half." Theseus explained as he made sure it hovered at a height the Jawa could easily take hold of the hilt in a safe manner.

Theseus knelt down on the ground and closed his eyes. "When you take the lightsaber in your hands, I will be using a force technique. Try to stay very calm, as it will be a little overwhelming at first. I am going to try and give you some crafting and maintenance knowledge through a melding of our minds. From there I will also give you the teachings you need to wield it in combat. When you've been taught the basics, then we'll turn that knowledge into personal performance and have you combat some criminals, who will be bribed to attack. Though have no concern, I'll ensure you live." Theseus explained to the jawa, while he meditated to prepare the mind meld.

[Mishk]

Mishjk wrinkled his nose as the hilt hovered closer to him. He studied it for a few moments as he tried to listen to the teacher at the same time. He was not unfamiliar with the power of the lightsaber. He had seen what it could do.

Carefully he placed his bony fingers around the hilt and grabbed it.

At that moment he felt something poking his mind. His teacher had explained that he would mend their minds. This would not be a problem per say, Mishk had no mental barriers but for [member="Theseus Reneun"] this would most likely be a very unpleasant experience, even if he was a sith.

The evil jawas mind was a labyrinth of complete chaotic and dark nature. A labyrinth constructed with several entrances but no exit. Worms wriggled across mushy brain tissue, with heated soft bugs gnawing on it at all times. A pure dark tentacle, a visitor was trying to lay its slender arm around the brain. The vermin watched and hissed at it. Hunger shining through their red eyes they reckognised the pulse of the blood pumping inside the tentacle. It was dark and brooding. We wants it.... it did not take long before the tentacle was washed with gnawing, sucking and clawing bugs from these maddened creatures possessing the jawas mind. Joyful they tore and fed upon the tentacle to make it stay... to become a friend eternal...

Mishk, shivered some but was occupied with admiring the toy he held. While [member="Theseus Reneun"] would be struggling far more then he most likely had anticipated with the mind meld his powers were greater then Mishks unconscious, at least if he did not stay attached for too long. Bits and pieces of the lightsabers construction did drip down into Mishks awareness and the jawa grinned at the notion.

He pressed the ignition.

The sensation was something else. Mishk stood there and was amazed on how the snake bit onto his hand, attaching itself to his wrist, it was painful but its long fangs dug themselves into his arm, penetrating the skin and locking into the bone beneath. Slowly its venom spread through out his system. the saber was becoming an extension of his own will.

Mishk threw his head back and laughed a mad laugh of happiness.

 

[Williamice2]

Theseus was glad he was meditating for this. Even so he was getting a headache as he sought through the mind of the Jawa. He'd make his entrance very brief as it was clear getting into this creatures mind had been a little miscalculated. It took Theseus a moment to implant the knowledge he knew of lightsaber combat, as his offhanded blade was his purple light saber, and he'd be wanting it back. It was after all his personal blade. Though when he finished it took him several moments just to remove his conscious from the Jawa's as Theseus opened his eyes and let out a sigh of relief. No wander the creature appeared so evil. Whatever was in it's mind was darker then even the shadows Theseus sometimes wandered in.

Theseus then stood and stumbled a moment. His head was throbbing, and he was sure some of those images were going to be implanted in his mind for life. As he shook his head a little. "Well Then." he muttered as he looked to the jawa. "Give it a few test strokes." Theseus said to the creature and sighed a little. Never again would he be curious about looking into the mind of a Jawa. Though it wasn't mishk's fault per say, as much as societies fault for rejecting him so, and that to Theseus could comprehend.

[member="Mishk"]

 

[Mishk]

Mishk had almost forgotten about [member="Theseus Reneun"] - he was transfixed with the humming blade in his skeletal like hand.

"Tessst, yesss..."

Mishk spun it around his wrist once. Then repeated the movement ending with him tossing it into the air, only to. end up in his other hand. There he repeated the movement. Mishk had done this many times with daggers or bone saws. Naturally not the same but somehow his mind adjusted for the decreased weight without issues.

The dark jawa grinned and swung around splitting a table behind him in a long straight cut. Then he turned and faced the teacher.

"Wehere are my friends?"

 

[Mishk]

[member="Theseus Reneun"]
[[[we still on?]]]

 

[Williamice2]

OOC: I said I'd be gone a few days. )

 

[Williamice2]

Theseus smirked a little bit. "Eager are we, young friend?" he replied as he motioned towards the door of the cantina. In walking a group of 4 human smugglers all with blaster rifles. "Now, remember with Ataru you don't have much defensive capabilities. So dodging to avoid being hit by the blasters is key." Theseus noted to Mishk as he took a few steps back. One of the human's confused as to what was occurring took a shot a Theseus, which he rolled out of the way just in time. "Like that." he added.

Theseus was still in possession of one of his light sabers. Though for the second phase of combat. Theseus was going to lend both his blades to Mishk. As it would be useless to give him the knowledge of Jar Kai without allowing him the ability to practice it. For the second phase Theseus would be bringing in some tougher opponents.

There was but a moment of silence before the Jawa rushed forth, leaping high into the air landing on a high table and swingng his saber cutting of the closest mans hands. The blaster shots that followed hit the surface of the table as Mishk jumped upward, and more or less like a fly attached himself to the ceiling with a cruel grin. Then he thwirled down with the saber in front of him, burrowing it in a second mans knee cap.

The handless man fell, eyes wide open staring at his two stumps. And the man with the severed knee stumbled backward roaring in pain..

"Yes... let us sing ... like friends do...." Mishk hissed. The two remaining men were not hesitating by now and while the closest one tried to bring down his gun upon the Jawas head the fourth man fired a precise shot. It hit Mishk in the side and the little body was thrown into a dark corner, his saber thwirling through the air unlitting itself.

The men franticly raised their guns to finish the job. From the darkness a soft buzzing sound was heard as Mishk called for help from his tiny companions. Pointing a finger toward one of them a black swamr of flesh eating wasps started to surround him. Screaming and clawing at himself, to most without Mishks perspective on the force it seemed like the man tried to tear of his own flesh without appareant reason. The fourth man stared at his friend in horror and turned toward the door, ready to escape the situation.

His back soon found the company of Mishks claws digging themselves into his flesh. Then the teeth.. then more claws and without any means of ridding himself of the jawa now eating him alive he tried to smash him into the wall but the jawa seemed incapable of feeling any pain, even though smoke still rose from the laser that had hit him.

The scene was a mess. One man without hands seemingly going into a feint sometime soon. one man limping one one leg toward the door, a third tearing out his own eyeballs and the fourth having his flesh plusked and torn at until his soon to arrive death.

[Williamice2]

Theseus was watching with the outmost curiosity. As the Jawa was here, and there and everywhere. He was certainly a quick little fellow which made the form of Ataru a perfect course for the creature. Theseus knew Mishk could use that to his advantage. Theseus relaxed back as he watched one man loose a limb. Followed by another man loosing a limb. As he watched Mishk mutualize his opponents swiftly. However eventually their came a temporary problem. Which Theseus was about to respond to. He did after all promise he'd keep Mishk alive.

Theseus got angry that the little guy was shot. Of course that was the nature of this. Encourage Mishk to kill at the threat of bodily harm being done to him. Though still killing him was a little too far. Theseus went to force slam the men around the room like a group of ragdolls. Though Mishk suddenly seemed to recover and take things into his own hands. As Theseus watched the little jawa summon a plague to do his job. Followed by taking on a retreating foe with his teeth and claws. "Remind me not to make you an enemy if you do that to people who you call friends." Theseus said to the jawa in a clear tone as he blinked.

Theseus watched the men walking away. "Dear, Ally of mine... Mercy is sometimes the merciless approach." He explained to the jawa. "When you strike, strike with the intention of killing." He explained as Theseus focused on his anger and drew that power towards his off hand. Then he stretched his hand out and let out a stream of white hot lightning towards the retreating men. Who began to scream in agony, as if though they didn't have enough. When they were down on their knees Theseus dashed across the room, activating his main handed saber, as he made a quick blow to one man's neck, to lob off his head. Before he did a back flip and stuck his saber into the center of another man's chest. Finally picking off the third by slamming him around the room. He let the man who was being eating alive, die by the natural consequences of Mishk's assault on his body.

[Mishk]

There would be a few moments before the man finally fell, first to his knees and then flat down. Mishk continued to claw his way into the mans body. Some might have mistaken this for a frenzy. But if paying attention to the jawas fast but well structured disection [member="Theseus Reneun"] might notice that this was not the case.

Deliberately the creature started to pull at the entrails no longer with the intent of feeding or killing,

No, he was somehow trying to move the organs around in the man. Clearly Mishk had lost track of what was going on around him at this stage and beside a few grunts of discomfort due to the blaster wound he had recieved he was very much content it seemed.

 

[Williamice2]

(OOC: My Apologies [member="Mishk"], I've been busy on and off and have been slow at replying)

Theseus tilted his head as he watched Mishk work. He had plenty of time to take a closer look at what the deranged Jawa was working on, and he was a little unsure. "Mishk, By the force, what is it you are doing?" he asked the creature in confusion as he kept his distance for now. He didn't by any means want to rush him along. Though he knew that they'd need to continue his training. Theseus had set up at least five more waves of opponents to have Misk face. Which he hoped that the wound the blaster had left wouldn't have too much detrimental effects in the future combats Mishk was faced with.

Though pain lead to anger, and anger lead to power. So, Theseus wasn't horribly concerned about the situation. He knelt down and closed his eyes. As he returned to meditation creating a small force shield around himself. To prevent him from any harm for a short remainder of time. As Theseus chose to work on recovering mentally from his run about in Mishk's mind. The consequences still weighed heavily on Theseus and it was slightly annoying. All the same he kept enough attention to his surroundings to react should trouble arise, either that or should Mishk choose to answer Theseus' question regarding his activities, with the man's organs.

 

[Mishk]

There was a squishy sound as the jawas thin limbs penetrated the soft skin of the dead man and moved around his hands to find the pieces he was looking for. He mumbled something to himself and seemed to be very much lost in a sick and twisted mind spiral of his own.

But at once when [member="Theseus Reneun"] asked his questions Mishk snapped out of it. He looked around with a shameful low posture. Then he dropped the liver in his hand back on the floor.He was fully aware that he was here to learn from this man. Not find new friends or make decorations for his master.

Rising, the blood and and gore dripped from his robe as he walked away from the corpse. Instead he sat down opposite to Theseus watching him silently.
