Moving From a Common Thug, to a Personal Assassin

[Garza]

Aboard the Kinta Satvas
Three days after the Duel

Taking a look from inside the bridge of the Kinta Satvas, I could see the stars and the planet of Courscant. After defeating the Jedi Knight, And being declared as a Master of the Force, I felt good sitting in the main chair. Seeing everything that was happening around me. Men walking. Working. It was almost like usual. Only, I had another presence standing behind me. One that was very keen on becoming an apprentice of mine.

Her name was @Kunsumi. That much I knew. As well as her Lust for power and her sense of pride. That much I could tell over these three days because of how she acted. Wanting to get closer to me. Wanting to see the abilities I had. She already saw some, and just this look on her face said she wanted more. Still, I wanted to see what she was capable of.

In time, I knew she would come forward about she wanted to do. Deciding that I would start it off.

"Kunsumi, Tell me, What is it that makes you want to be my apprentice?"

 

[Vineech]

Her actual name was Vineech. However, Kunsumi and had seemingly become her new identity. Three days seemed to drift past and still by the side of the Sith Lord, she remained hesitant. Her facial expressions flickered in life, barely existent. From hijacking a cargo ship to reluctantly boarding a Sith's ship. This was progression, however faint of a form it took. Upon being questioned, she took a step forward, eyeing the vast display of space and stars as she spoke.

"I find you intriguing, believe it or not. Apart from your strength and stellar capabilities, you seem to have purpose. Something seems to drive you to reach greater feats. Heh, that and you are only Sith of your stature that hasn't utilized the dark side to choke, batter or forcefully please me." She shook her head, swatting away her clouded thoughts. "I'd like to become stronger and along your side, I see it as nothing more than a guarantee."

Looking ahead of me as she answered my question, Saying that she stayed here not only because of my powers, but because I hadn't began to choke her out yet, or forcefully please her. I couldn't say that I hadn't thought about maybe a little tumble, but not forcing her. She also saw it as a guarantee that by being my apprentice, she would be able to learn, and progress the best. Standing up, I turned to face her. Her short black hair somewhat in her face, and the tight black suit on her didn't help the fact that I was trying to not look at her curves when she was not paying attention to me. However, I kept my eyes looking at her red once.

"I have purpose because I choose to have one. Stand for something, or you will fall for anything."

Looking her up and down now. Taking in everything that she looked to be, I decided that the second question was needed to be asked.

"What is it that you want to learn from me? Powers? Skills? Hell, throw in there a little lightsaber fighting if you want."

[Vineech]

Lowered her eyes in reminiscence as she pondered upon the meaning of her Master's initial words. "Hmph.." She exhaled beneath her breath. Even if discrete at the moment, she certainly had something to stand for; or perhaps, someone. Feeling a tad insecure, if not hesitant or inferior, I quickly averted my eyes to the side or a random direction when they met his own. To sustain her composure, she stood with the majority of her weight forced upon her right hip and arms lightly crossed.
"My, such generous offers. Mmm..I wish to become a profound assassin! You know, enigmas of the shadows? Stealth, Discreteness, Silent; mm..yes!" She shivered in excitement while speaking. "In all honesty however, I'd learn whatever you'd offer to teach me, M'lord."

[Garza]

An assassin? That seemed about right. Given her form, her stature, and how she seemed mysterious all at the same time. Her shiver made me almost want to do the same. She was so into this idea of killing that it made the slave I was training to be a Bounty hunter look like a lost pup. Despite that, I walked towards her. Close enough I could place a hand on her, but not close enough to make it awkward.

"Assassin. Yet learn anything I am willing to teach?"

I shrugged my shoulders. Thinking about what she may be already able to do. Lifting my hand, palm open as if I were giving her an offering,

"Then please, show me what you can do."

[Vineech]

Temporarily sealing her eyes shut, she nodded in response. Taking steps backwards, she relied upon what she could feel instead of see to ensure she didn't bump into anyone. A few feet away from her Master, she lowered both hands to her waist. Seductively running her fingers across the span of her waist, she gripped the hilt of both lightsabers. Raising a single under her chin, a sudden blade of red would erect; seemingly bi-sect her face in half with her own eyes suddenly visible. "As you wish, Master." Taking form, she rose the erected lightsaber overhead with a slant while her second was brought before her chest-region in a slanted fashion as well. With her fangs exposed, the Apprentice would allow one leg to lie bent before the other. There was imperfection written across her form, but then again, she was just an Apprentice. "Shall we begin?"

I smiled as she grabbed her lightsabers. being rather seductive about it as she did so. Her twin sabers activated, I knew that her stance was off. Trying to use one saber took a lot of focus. Trying to use two took even more. Instead of having to worry about one blade, you had a second blade to worry about before accidently cutting your head off. So she would be a little slower in her strikes. Meaning it was perfect for me to use my own trusted weapon.

Picking up the sword as it sat in front of the Captain's chair. Still holding the sheath in my hand, I slowly placed my left foot forward, My right hand gripping onto the shaft of the handle. My hand choking up on the guard of the sword. She asked for us to begin. Nodding my head, I leaned forwards almost like a cat ready to pounce.

"Begin."

[Vineech]

Wasted practically no time in launching herself forward, slightly amplifying her speed with the aid of the Force for initial 'flare'. Both lightsabers were extended to opposite sides of her; an ounce of regret hidden behind her lustful grin. Upon nearing her master, she leaped into the air, curving her body to perform a complete twist. Mid-way, she swung the right blade to meet the left side and to make sure her blades were being used as one. Hands clinched upon their respective hilts, she exhaled an aggressive shout as she completed her twist only to have both blades swung from from the left over the span of [member="Nickolas Imura"]'s chest.

 

[Garza]

I smiled as she came forwards. Her muscles in her legs bent down, telling me she was going to jump. I allowed it to happen for now, as she spun in the air. Instead of taking a step forward like I usually would, I took one back as the blade passed by my chest. Missing me, but get close enough. However, she didn't think about the repercussions of being in the air. Meaning, it was very hard to move, hard to avoid attacks, as well, you had almost no defense. meaning as my right hand came off of the sword to send a powerful force push to smack her in the center of the chest,

She had little chance to avoid it.

Swung back to face her opponent only to realize that he was not within range. However, close enough to effectively deal a Force Push which would send her hurtling backwards with a clinched sensation running throughout her chest region. Her teeth would grit and the usual reaction would be to insert her sabers into the ground to decelerate herself. However, this ship was a sight to behold. It could be seen as a sign of disrespect if she tampered with such. Instead, she skidded against the ground with a single hand pressed against the ground and legs rooted as well.

"Foolish," She thought, seemingly forgetting or somehow underestimating who she was dealing with. Her usual high risk maneuvers would not work in this situation. Launching herself forward once more, she began to run towards her Master once more. However, she was cautious of another Force Push. To increase difficulty of aiming, she zoomed from left to right in a zig-zagging pattern as she closed ranged. In the end, she would slash her right saber from [member="Nickolas Imura"]'s left shoulder to right hip, left saber slashed from right shoulder to left hip. Thus, creating an X-Formative strike with her blades shifted forward to increase range.

 

[Garza]

The force push made contact as expected. As well, the woman slid back to a stop. She took only a second to gather herself. In that second, my left handed thumb pushed on the top of the Katana at my waist. Separating it from the sheath just enough, that as she came for me, I drew the katana out with my right hand. Her Zig-zag patter was nice. However, it was predictable.

When she first started to attack, she came for the left. Meaning that there was a high predictability her next attack was at the right. In any style of fighting, you go from one side to the next. There were a few times when you went from right and then right again, or left and left again. However, those attacks were slow as you had to draw back from your first attack to attack again at the same strength and speed. Seeing as she had two lightsabers, I had a feeling, as well as from personal experience of being a Jar-kai user. that should would attack from one side to the other.

It was a common attack with dual bladed users. I would know since I started learning to use a lightsabers by having a doublebladed/dual lightsaber combo. With my right hand up and ready, I flick of my wrist from my left to wright. Smacking the blades away form my chest. While the second strike came even closer to me than the last one. Coming close enough to make a singe mark on my leather jacket. Which wouldn't matter as it was already used in combat many times.

Coming now into an attack, I came with my left hand using the sheath of the sword in an uppercut to smack her in the chin. Showing her how her moves could be easily thwarted. If not, then she was good. As well, my sword came in for her left arm. Attempting to cut it right down to the bone, or even completely off. Could she move fast enough to protect herself, when she was foolishly attacked with a force push earlier? maybe.

I didn't keep my hopes up, because only the strong survive.

Expectantly found her blades flicked to the side by a single blade. Quickly regaining her composure, she forced a blade before her with the blade shifted downward in a defensive manner to deflect the sheathed attack. Pressing or deflecting said sheath backwards, she curved said blade to meet and glide along her other as she collectively slashed her blades from her hip to shoulder height, from right to left to clash against the blade aimed towards her shoulder. Quickly stepping backwards, she readied both sabers before beginning to enter a full offensive-assault. Using both blades in an attempt to overwhelm, she began to swing her blades about her body in a nearby effortless fashion. Moving forward to inflict numerous, high speed slashes to anyone or anything within range. Her only fear as of now was cutting herself in half by using such a technique.

"Fear is not to hinder, it is but a means to empower!" She thought, reminding herself of what she was previously taught.

She was doing well with two lightsabers.

However, this took her focus off. She was more worried about attacking me, keeping me on my toes, when she should be watching out for her environment. I knew of the lightsaber form Ataru. I could use it well. She was coming for the strikes, while sacrificing solid ground. more so in this case, Not protecting her "Six" or backside.

I still had a grip on my sword, and seeing as how it was easier to use it not having to constantly focus on not cutting oneself, I could easily use the force with both weapons in my hand. Sending one of the racks holding jackets and hats coming for her back as I came up with my sword and sheath combo to protect myself. Using a very defensive stance.

In retaliation to her, I blocked her incoming attacks as the rack came flying from her behind, while I dropped the sheath and by using two hands cut across her chest, stomach and knees in a Z formation of attacks. Very fast, very close, and most of all, very deadly.

[Vineech]

Her right eye would twitch in indication that a tangible mass was closing in on her. However, being focused with unleashing an offensive assault on her opponent, she had difficulties slowing her pace to retaliate. Having attack after attack deflected and or blocked, she began to anticipate an offensive move from her master. <"Hmph!"> Her eyes seemingly glistened at the sign of opportunity. With only a single lightsaber ignited, she kicked the sheath back up and towards her Master's face only moments after it had escaped his grasp. Would he dismember such a treasure? Either way, she was eventually rammed against by a clothing rack and forced to either hit the ground or suffer fatal injuries due to [member="Nickolas Imura"]'s attack.

 

[Garza]

It took little less than a second for both of us to continue in this fight. However, what she didn't know was that while she kicked up the sheath, I was not going to attack my own item. In fact, I was going to use it. I came down to strike across her knees, and then up with an uppercut. You see, she would be focused more on what I was going to do with the sheath that had been flying in the air. Unnaturally floating there still as I slashed at her. With the coatrack behind her and my attack now, surely she would be hit somewhere.
