Evening the Playing Field

[Judas Zambrano]

Standing in the open arena he had built into his facility for testing procedures Judas awaited [member="Solan Charr"] to arrive so the two could set to work on testing Iscariot Industries first step into power armor. The product was nearly complete after numerous failures that involved the past testers to break bones and even spinal cords due to the over exertion the suit put on their bodies. Toning it down a bit they settled for merely two times the users speed and strength. Slowly the engineers slid the helmet upon Judas' head and with a quick hiss the armor joined the rest of the suit sealing it. Of course Judas could've just had someone else test the armor, but sometimes he felt like getting his hands dirty, which is exactly why he called one of the best fighters that the Shadow Dynasty used to have in their ranks before its collapse. This armor was meant to put a regular human on par with a jedi, so what better way to test it then fighting one.

As the armor powered on the HUD activated showing Judas no less then ten different screens cluttering his view. Everything from his vitals being monitored down to the activation of the magnetic grips could be seen on the HUD showing him just how far they had pushed the boundaries of this creation.

Solan walked through the halls with light training clothing and his scythe in his hands. At his side hung a Krath Warblade he had picked up with the silver jedi, a weapon he was finding a rather appreciative liking for as it operated quite well. What was infront of him through would be something that he had not faced nor even seen before and the raise in his brow was more than enough to make his head turn and stare. "I heard you wanted to test something out but i must say Judas, after having been threatened to lose my head over that whole thing that happened last time we had the pleasure of speaking i must say you are prepared."

"Come now Solan, one threat to destroy a building with you in it and you think the worst of me?" Judas joked from inside the armor which oddly distorted his voice a bit making it sound deeper then what it truly was. The incident Solan was referring to was something that Judas thought would be left behind or forgotten. Seems that he was wrong. A twisted smirk on his face he reveled in how much he would enjoy this fight. The rumors of what Solan was capable of was the main deciding factor in why Judas had picked him as a test subject. "Voice projection off." Judas said down and into his chest so his voice couldn't be picked up by Solan. A neural link would've probably been better for such armor, but voice commands would have to do for now. "Air thrusters at 100 percent." Crouching down as though about to break out into a sprint Judas activated the thrusters instead which shot him forward like a cannon closing the distance between him and Solan. As the burst ended Judas activated the magnetic grips on his left foot having it hold him in place as he kicked out with his right leg at a rate two times faster than an average human.

Sola gad expected something different and then what came was something he couldn't help but stare at as it happened. The speed was unexpected and the kick that followed late was just ever more so surprising. His hands had come up kist fast enough to block the kick, filtering in a bit of a Telekinetic barrier just incase this machine had a more powerful than a normal human's strength. His skeleton was in no way able to support itself against a strike right that, but there was something that it could do as he would let the kick carry though instead of blocking it and pushed of the ground. His body would move through the air a foot or two before he landed slowly, grimacing as the pain still vibrated through his arms. "Shit..."

The servomotors could be heard whirring as Judas moved by into a fighting stance his body turned at an angle with his left arm just above his waist and his right arm crossing his chest at a angle. The suit did increase the wearers strength and speed but it also took a toll on their bodies as he felt an incredible soreness in his right thigh. Not breaking his stance but knowing he needed to clear the distance between him and Solan, Judas shot himself foward again with the air thrusters but this time held out his right leg just enough that when he activated them he went in a diagnol line towards Solan's left side. Activating the magnetic grips on his right foot this time he would come to a halt and lash out with his right arm at Solan's left side, but before the blow landed he'd bring his left leg around aimed at Solan's ribs.

Solan blinked as the man came around again, his hands curling up and forcing his muscles to move without a second thought and it was good he did move on that instinct. The leg and hand only missed just enough to save him a broken rib or too, his shoulder was not so well off though as he felt Judas' leg connect and a grunt of pain sounded. IT was definitely bruised, maybe worse. But he needed to focus as he smiled. Well, if he wanted to fight a force user. Then it was time to let that fact come to fruition. "Tsk. Tsk." His hands curled up tighter as the force twisted and began to pull itself around Solan too him, his eyes staring at Judas as he completely ignored his own dark aura and fed off the force around him for a time as he smiled and then tapped into his own force signature as the power was sent into his limbs and he drew his Krath War Blade out now. "Continue."
