Duel A wild afternoon in the fiery grasslands of Voss - Voss System, Sith Empire.

[Aril Vrane]

Hunting through the vast open fields of Voss, a planet inhabited by mawvorrs, a lizard-like creature native to this homeworld highly prized for its scales, Aril Vrane, the recently appointed Knight of the mighty Sith empire was watching for his preys... the hunt today had been bountiful, as he managed to capture about twenty creatures, though not for a commercial gain or anything of the sort, he simply hunted for the sake of pleasure. He had brought with him three Akk hounds to assist him in this matter. They were loyal and stupid creatures, for as long as they received some meaningless piece of meat, they would do exactly as expected of them. In this particular case, it was expected of these rabid dogs to scare the mawvorrs into unveiling their position. One after another, the hounds would force the beasts to run away and scatter, and one after the other, they were put down by the devastating aim of the Nagi native. When he was out hunting in the wild, he preferred to use his E-5s sniper rifle, much easier for the kills.

 

[Ra's]

Hunters, born-hunters this way the Kaleesh "way" the hostility and harsh life of their planet forced the males of the specie to all become constant warrior-hunter for their people (and even some females) while he was not close from being the best of his kind Ra's was not a slouch either, he was as good as a hunter should be to survive by himself. Of course hunting is a very good training for people like him who are often send to tracking and assassination missions, sometimes staying days or even weeks waiting for the traitor or the band they are charged to kill by themselves, after all one should obviously except a Jedi Knight to be capable of taking groups of fodder by himself as well as such "simple" bounty missions. While the Knight was about to strike down a mawvorr after already having killed five of them , a fucker stole his kill with a sniper most likely. However the Kaleesh respect the law of "the one who got it fist" , so he prepare to move away as he sense the presence of another Sith.

 

[Aril Vrane]

It would appear that his prey was struck before he could've had the chance to take the shot. Curious, either Aril was gifted with a lightning fast trigger finger that could not be seen by the human eye.... or, someone stole his kill: but the truth was laying in the latter option. At first, he looked at his hounds with a slightly puzzled expression adorning his face, usually he is the only one in these parts, though, he does not mind a company... depending of which company it is of course.

- Unsual... most unsual.

Simmering through the vast open field of blazen hot grasslands, aided by the force to sense, and pinpoint the exact location of the individual; an hunter ? A warrior perhaps, or even a Sith ? Well, he would find out soon enough, as the nobleman quickly grew tired of this sport. After having sensed the person that had joined him, some kind of huge being that was attuned with the Force, the Nagi native simply rose to the position and began walking openly on the empty for a few meters in the direction where the Kalesh was positioned. After a few steps, ensuring that he is plainly visible, Aril would take a sudden stop, waiting for the mysterious being to fully expose itself.

- Show yourself !

 

[Ra's]

-Who do you think you are to claim such thing ?

Shout the Knight as he himself approach calmly the other Dark force user, his senses are ready for any kind of foolish actions of his potential opponent, his weapon his already in his hands. His steps are calm and mastered just like his force presence, yet Aril could sense that this one was not really a friendly guy.

 

[Aril Vrane]

- And you ? Who do you think you are to steal prized targets such as these ? Some greenboy with a death wish ?

Arrogant, or rather, overconfident as ever the knight of the Sith would make such bold claims with a smirk embellishing his specter-like appearance. Tall and of slender build, the nobleman had kept his E-5s sniper rifle attached behind his back, through the help of a bandolier of some sort. His head, slightly tilted towards the right, as he attempted to figure out through the force, exactly what were the thoughts of the Kalee? And his purposes ? For the beast-like humanoid firmly held his weapon in his grip. Was he planning on attacking him ? Despite all this, one detail rose above the rest:

- Ah... I sense that the force is with you as well. Like myself, you must be affiliated with the Empire.

He felt he did not even need to precise which Empire he was referring to, for In his eyes, the only legitimate and all-powerful empire was the one of the Sith. Other empires had come and go, and some foolish pretenders still lingered in their false, fraud of an empire. Never could they hope to attain the powerful might of the one true Sith Empire.

- And judging from that stance, your brute-like self-assurance, it would seem that you are not no mere apprentice... but then I must wonder, where exactly is your lightsaber ? Preferring to use a vibroblade of some sort ? A degrading shame. Nothing cuts more deeply, and more sharply... and more beautifully than these treasures, i'd wager.

From these words, Aril would call on the power of telekinesis to make the golden hilt of his lightsaber come to his hand from his belt, though he would not ignite it yet. Simply, he'd be toying with the thing with fantastic quickness, all this while intensively looking at the Kalee in the eyes. He had refused to lower his weapon before him and that, in his opinion was a cruel affront... or perhaps an invitation to a duel ? Whatever it was, Aril seemed ready for a fight, readying himself.

 

[Ra's]

- Hmmf.

Split the knight with a mockery voice, as he step closer allowing his weapon to caress the field as he adopt a half fighting stance. This fool seems to insult and challenge him ? Sith or not he will die, there is no eyes looking for them here baring the beasts and the dogs.

-Is this a challenge your pale looking corpse ? You already seems to be in the other side, allow me to send you truly there. I will open you in half right here and right now, we will see then if your pathetic weapon saves you.

With a cold look asking for blood the Knight charge forward jumping in the airs as he raise his activate weapon to land the strike on his opponent skull, the brute seems to be decently agile for his size as Vrane might note.

 

[Aril Vrane]

How cornered beasts react when they know the end is near ? They mindlessly attack with the hope of securing a hit ! That fellow did not act much differently, though, he was quick in his movements, he will give him that. There was one thing however that absolutely angered the Nagai. If there was one thing he hated above anything else, was to see his perfect self (at least according to him) being mocked. That, he could not withstand. Looking at the beast lunging from the skies his eyes flowing with raw anger, Aril would ignite his crimson blade but it would be too late to attempt an attack yet.

Instead he would lunge forward to dodge the surprise attack, so the Kalee would land in his initial position. Not yet tapping into the force to enhance his natural abilities. Turning towards the savage Kalee, handling the lightsaber with a fluid flick of a wrist, and another, and another, the Sith knight smiled as he adopted the stance of the elegant form II of lightsaber combat: the famously known way of the Ysalamari, or in simpler terms, Makashi. He would instruct his opponent to come at him again, though this time, he'd be ready to strike him.

- Come at me ! Come on, big dog !

 

[Ra's]

Allowing right away the full hate and bloodlust of the Dark Side to consume his senses the Kaleesh try to strike yet again furiously as he jump forward, but this time aiming for the ground in the hope to shatter it hard enough so he can send a shockwave capable of radgoll his opponent, if Aril was the combattant with a superior dexterity and speed Ra's was surely the one with a overwhelming physicals advantage.

 

[Aril Vrane]

The shockwave resulting from his opponent's brutal impact to the ground certainly hindered Aril for quick moment, cutting down all the debris sent toward him with a few slices of his lightsaber. At the sheer power of the impact, he would be pushed several steps backward. Obviously, this Kalee meant business so he had to pull all the stops in order to bring him down. First, he would tap into the force in order to enhance his physical abilities, then rushing towards the beast with the speed of a shooting star, enacting the infighting with an audacious attempt to slice his legs with formidable rapidity, then quickly chaining this attack with a cutting strike to the left shoulder.

 

[Ra's]

The Kaleesh quick on his feet avoid the attack by jumping above the fellow Knight, as he is behind him he try to ragdoll him on the floor by using a Force pressure with his left hand, in the same movement he throw in a spinning move his weapon to cut in half the opponent, the energy flow around the blade making somehaw the throwing quite beautiful.

 

[Aril Vrane]

Sensing the Kaleesh about to land behind him through the force, the Knight makes a side step to his left flank in a graceful rotation, feeling the strong pressure enacted through his body, but not enough to retain him in place. He would then jump in mid-air, unable to disturb the spinning attack enacted with the bisento. While above, he would cast a powerful force scream while tapping into two strong tenets of the dark side : anger and hate to fuel said scream, consequently throwing in a crushing array of disturbing sonic waves towards the Kaleesh with purpose to blind and destabilize him. As he is falling down from his position, he then attempts a lasting final blow; a thrust of his lightsaber directly to the Kaleesh's chest.
