Permission to get in my x-wing and blow something up?

Ikki was listenign to him with the weapons as he had a look on his face and she bowed her head standing there int he center. A smile on her face but her eyes folowed him as she held the gloves in one hand and slid them on. The smal diamond tips releasing as she felt them int he force and spoke. "Well then if you are comfortable we shall see how wel you can defend yourself padawan. The swords are meant for practice and your own personal defense for when we reach our destination. I want you to be comfortable using them so whenever you are ready do come at me." She said it and stood there placing her hands behind her back and focusing to move the slicewire around. It was practice and training wire so it was dull but still able to function as it needed to.

Cody wasn’t sure how to take the order at first but he knew that Jedi especially masters like Ike were much then a match for someone of his combat skill. Slipping off his blaster pistol and its holster Cody then grabbing the two blades by the hilts lifting them free from their restraints. They were surprisingly light at least in comparison to what he thought they might have been, but never really handling such well-crafted weapons he didn’t have a good comparison. Instinctively he gave them both a quick spin in his hands which didn’t go as smoothly as they had in his vision rather the one in his weaker left hand almost slipped free completely but Cody reset his grasp just in time to catch the weapon.

“I think I’m less concerned about hurting you master and more myself,” Cody chuckled as he turned back to his Master.

Standing there with her hands behind her back almost as if she was trying to taunt him into committing into a haphazardous strike Cody felt his nerves tingle and his palms and forehead begin to sweat with a guttural sense he was unfamiliar with. Creeping ever so closer to his short opponent Cody braced to get struck down by a powerful physical blow or tossed around like a rag doll by his Masters' unrivaled force powers, but there was nothing, not even a twitch. Now within striking distance, Cody watched Master Ike stand there motionless without a care in the universe, but knowing it had to come eventually he did his final mental preparation for the thrashing he was about to receive. Holding the weaker left hand back in defense Cody reared back then thrust the blade in his right hand downwards towards his masters’ chest.

Ikki was watching him and he seemed to think something.. there was a flash on his face. Sweat on his brow as he was suspecting something was coming at him, after him... in preparedness for what she was doing until he got the nerve and it looked like idea to attack. She moved the finger for the slice wire that had looped around and was hanging there to tighten and go taut so that it could stop the blade coming down. In place with the wire gleaming for a moment when it was near her shoulder. THe small jedi master looked up at him with calmness on her face and she spoke.... In a language of a species that most didn't know but they had taught her how to travel through and make hyperspace wormhold to travel. The compressed ball of energy was actually auditory vibrations from her throat resounding in a small ball and amplifying when she sent it towards him to at least push him back on hsi fet with a small word essentially. "Surprised" The word was there but the oswaft technique for manipulating speech and audio was more like a shout that could impact the person. Ikki remained where she was and the slicewire vibrated with the sound showing a lattice work around her of the tiny strands of material.

Cody had expected to be stopped but not by nearly invisible strings that had been hiding in wait for his initial attack. To add insult to injury Master Ike launched him across the length of the room with a simple inaudible voice that he couldn’t begin to explain. While he may have stumbled back Cody quickly regained his composure and redoubled his efforts but with more tact this time around.

“Never seen that weapon before, I thought Jedi just ran around with Light Sabers and the occasional blaster,” Cody said as he closed with Master Ike and her nearly invisible wall of flailing string.

Lifting both weapons this time Cody began probing the defense with light strikes across multiple sides in a hope to discover a weakness. Unfortunately for him, he was far out skilled as every attempted was bounced back with ease. Cody was unwilling to simply give up but he couldn't seem to break through the defense as slashes were reflected back and thrust were an invitation for another verbal assault. With nothing left to lose but what little dignity he had left Cody began a furious assault that had no apparent rhyme or reason as he slashed and lunged as he bounced around the room rolling and maneuvering. With strength and energy quickly become depleted from the fruitless assault Cody tried one last ditch effort as he swung high with one blade he brought the other down low throwing it with as much effort as he could muster while keeping it in line with Master Ike. As soon as the first weapon was free Cody willing thrust his hand in to catch the would-be deflection by Master Ike's wire and while reeling from pain in his hand manage to send the second sword flying at her as well.

She was watching him and manipulating with her fingers and the force thw wires. They were nice for deflecting.. if only more dangers as they could generally knick and break the blades so one had to be careful. She was watching the blades and how best they would be able to get through the gaps in her defenses.. best thing was she knew how to manipulate the wires while the padawan seemed to be getting frustrated and then he was flinging himself and his blades at her. One going while she couldn't slice all of it up without making herself vulnerable but she was able to pull the wire taunt as the point of the sword touched it and slowly along the length of the blade it split. Going to the sides of her small stomach but making small knicks that bled fresh lines of crimson at her midriff where the skylar training garb didn't cover. "Owwie"

 

[.Durgan.]

Cody flinched as the wires Master Ike were manipulating retaliated against his assault, but unarmed he could only shield himself with his forearms. A few quick snaps and suddenly Cody found himself reeling backward into the wall in pain. Unarmed and unable to focus on anything other than the throbbing red lashes across his arms and the few bloody marks on the back of his hands Cody was utterly defeated at this point.

“Well that was exciting but I think I’m spent,” Cody spoke to his Master as he repositioned now seated against the wall knees in his chest and tucking his arms in trying to irrationally squeeze his arms hoping to relieve the pain.

She was looking at him and brought the wires back while removing the gloves. Touching her sides as there were cuts near some of the scars the jedi master went and sat next to him with a look on her face. "That was decent..... but towards the end you started to slip. We don't want to rely on emotions and anger. frustration is something easy and quick to join you in a fight." Ikki touched the trails of blood with her cybernetic fingers and looked at it before getting a wrap she could use. "Owww my sides this is not going to be fun." She was looking at it and checked the wounds she had while seeing his arms and cuts. "At least it wasn't my normal wire, training wire is sharp but mostly harmless."

“But if the fight ends fast enough would it not be a great temporary fix,” Cody said jokingly.

His master was right the fact that he had so quickly given into his frustrations and doubts caused him to not only become injured but unarmed.

“It seems I have quite a bit to learn before I’m ready for a real confrontation, at least with those.” Cody first points at the vibroblades laying on the other side of the room and then to his blaster in the corner. “I think I’ll just squeeze off a few rounds at anything scary until I ready.”

Standing back up Cody turned down to his master who was tending to her own wounds. Even though his technique was unusual it at least gave results he thought for a moment then came on remorse as he had never meant to actually hit her.

“Perhaps we should seek some medical aid and then a meal?” Cody wasn’t one to dwell on this particular interaction rather wanted to move on with training.

She looked at him and then at her sides while speaking. "Maybe but these will heal, I have received far worse in fight." She said it and showed her cybernetic fingers that wriggled for a moment. "Though food is always good." She said it and stood up with a look on her face as she checked the skylar. "Still holds up pretty nicely compared to some training outfits... thankfully my family has worked to make these for the jedi and even more. Won't tear from blades easily and can handle some lightsaber strikes." She was walking towards the door and the larger hallway fo the ship to get itno the mess hall while most of the droids moved around and news that they were making good time in hyperspace was important. "That is good to hear." THe doors for the mess hall were thicker and heavy as they opened to reveal the large station with different oods and drinks around soem fo the engineers who were on the ship.
