Corruptable Minds (Krest)

[Slot 19]

Luminara grinned. "Of course, master." She activated her lightsaber, her skin bathing in the crimson light. She used the Force tosprint toward him in a confusing zig-zag formation before unexpectedly doing a flip over him, swinging quickly at his head.

He stepped to the side as [member="Luminara Rikanati"] went over head, knocking her blade to the side gracefully. Feinting would be difficult against the Zabrak, and he had every intention on testing her endurance at the same time. Ferus spun out of the way, holding Deus up and off to the side, a grin on his face.

"Don't stop moving."

 

[Slot 19]

Luminara could see past Krest's smile. He was seeing how long her energy would last. He was purposely wearing her out. She grinned a little. Well then, if it's moving he wants... She Force sped at him. Instead of attacking him head-on, she diverted, and began running in circles around him. She made quick jabs and swings at him from all sides as she did so.

The Zabrak kept still as [member="Luminara Rikanati"] burst around him. He would keep still this time, the sand around him shifting. Every time she came to strike the sand would shoot out, not to hit the saber but to hit her arms, effectively blocking the hits. But Ferus was impressed she kept on the move, constantly running. But Ataru was about flipping, not being on the ground for longer then necessary. He'd cause the sand to give out on her current path, to trip her up as she ran by.

 

[Slot 19]

Luminara stumbled over the sand as she continued running. She'd have to start jumping if she wanted to keep moving. So, she began flipping through the air, continuing her furious onslaught. She appeared quite graceful in the air, bending her body to the movement.

The purple flame around his blade moved like a blur, still countering, still defending. But it was clear now that Ferus was not built to defend. He was slowly getting knocked off balance, slowly getting over powered. This excited and annoyed the Darth all at the same time. She was learning, but she was going to win at this rate. He built the Force up in his free hand, catching another of her attacks before thrusting his fist outwards. With her in midair, he'd send a blast of the Force outwards, causing the sand around him to ripple and move, causing a divot in the ground.

Luminara jumped backward, getting hit by a wave of sand. She coughed, spitting sand from her mouth. She jumped at Krest again, this time using a nice little trick her old master had taught her. High in mid-air, she created a huge surge of Lightning and sent it downwards. It would hit Krest like a curtain falling at the end of a stage performance times two.

[Darth Ferus]

Sand whipped up to catch the lightning, grounding the bolts before they even reached the Zabrak. Earth was his element, and he was surrounded by it. With [member="Luminara Rikanati"] still in midair he sent another powerful blast through the sand, causing it to burst out like bullets, intent on shredding the girl mid-flight. Then he'd reach out with the force, bent on grasping her and bringing her to the ground hard midst the confusion of the sand.

"Enough, you've proven you're understanding of Ataru."

 

[Slot 19]

Luminara blocked as much of the sand as she could. But when Krest slammed her into the ground, she could do nothing to cushion the blow. She screamed from the force of the fall. When the sand settled, she was bruised on all parts of her body. She could barely shift without groaning from the pain. "Really? I thought I was just doing this because I like being beaten to a pulp," She said venomously. She was certainly not in the mood to be nice.

The Zabrak moved to crouch close by, resting his blade on his shoulder. "It happens. That's how you learn yeah? Now get up." Ferus sheathed his blade as he himself stood, turning from [member="Luminara Rikanati"] in the same motion. He stared around the deserts of Tatooine, a frown slowly forming on his face. "You know where the closest cantina is?"

 

[Slot 19]

Luminara gritted her teeth. She used the Force to push herself off the ground. She landed on her feet next to him with a grunt. She rubbed her bruised rump. "The nearest cantina's back in town," She said. She gave him a slanted look, smirking playfully. Even black and blue, she was still beautiful. "Since you won the battle and all, I'll buy you a drink." She winked.

[Darth Ferus]

He shrugs. "If you wish to pay, I will not stop you." His blue gaze would watch [member="Luminara Rikanati"] for a moment before he moved away, already working his way to get to the cantina itself. He was thirsty after all. He had no care how beautiful the woman was, power was what he respected. Not how pretty someone was.

 

[Slot 19]

Luminara smiled to herself as Krest began walking. So, he was going to play hard to get, was he? She did love a challenge. She tagged along beside him once they reached town. It was dark now. No one filled the street, and it was slightly colder than before. When they made it to the cantina, she walked straight to the bar and ordered two Telosian Ales. Leading Krest to a booth in the back, Luminara sat down. "You never did tell me your name," She said, handing him his drink.

[Darth Ferus]

"I ws quite sure I told you it was Master. If not, then Master." He sat down, stretching out a bit. Yeah, he was soar. He sipped form his Ale lightly, watching [member="Luminara Rikanati"] closely. "Is there something more you wanted for a name however? You are not my equal, nor will you be any time soon."

 

[Slot 19]

Luminara sighed, shaking her head. "Men. Always so stubborn..." She met his gaze. "Merely wishing to know your name is not a belief that we are equal. If there was someone who knew how to destroy you, almost did, and then claimed that he was going to teach you, wouldn't you at least like to know his name? And besides, it's not like I'll call you that any time soon. At least, not until we are equal." She smirked playfully, taking a swig of Ale.

[Darth Ferus]

"You will learn my name when we are equal. Unless you figure it out on your own. Though if you do, may the Force help whoever told you." He watched [member="Luminara Rikanati"] for a moment more before downing the rest of his drink, turning his gaze to the land outside. "You are now apart of the New Order. You do not have a choice in this matter. Betrayal is death, refusal is death. There you will learn more from others such as myself, gaining in power until you either die or become the strongest."

 

[Slot 19]

"Survival of the fittest, is it?" Luminara chimed, cocking a brow to compliment a daring smile. She chuckled darkly. "I'd have it no other way, master."

(Sorry! I didn't get the tag D: )

"Good. Oh, and you're not my only apprentice. Though for the moment you could be my favorite, or I could be lying. Time will tell." There was a light tease to his voice. He wasn't as high strung it seems when he's drinking.
