Test Your Steel. (Tournament Duel/Dev Thread)

Jericho settled in Tattooine, he had quite the unfortunate week, having to deal with morons and neanderthals. He thought the unpleasant streak of bad luck would come to an end. But, it wasn't going to start today. He woke up in the middle of the night, to a lot of bells ringing and the smell of something burning. He slowly sat up, tossing the covers across the room and casually strolled over to the window.


He could see the city streets erupt in chaos and his eyes lifted up to the sky, “Heroes…Leaders… Make the choice to leap into an Hellish Nightmare; Dive down into the pool of madness, carry on to the dark abyss of Damnation,” Jericho thought to himself as he moved to his closet and got dressed. Wore his battle armor under the traditional brown robes of the jedi. He fastened a belt around him latching on his three light sabers, two on the side and one on the back with a small pouch with four smoke grenades. “Those trapped, or lost in the eternal of abyss search frantically for guidance; that light of hope to cling on too.” His words echoed throughout his room, and through his thoughts.


Jericho grasped the hilts of his two sabers and frowned. “In complete darkness; there isn’t casual sense of sight. You are blind…In nothing around, but actual the godless and lifeless abyss. You would be surrounded by all your fears; the abyss can manipulate the slightest emotion and turn it against you. How can you defeat such an invincible being? Become a demon yourself or become the pillar of light that everyone clings too.” Jericho continue to think to himself.


Jericho slowly put on his breathing mask, to help him breathe through the smoke and help circulate his breathing rate for prolonged fighting. Jericho placed his foot on the ledge of the window and looked to the chaos the was being stirred in the streets of the village. After taking a moment, he turned on his sentinel sound dampener and leaped from the build, landing quietly to the ground below in a kneeling position. Jericho rose slowly and spotted a bandit that was about to kill a woman and her child, frowned at the man and raised his hand sending a powerful push of the force sending the man flying away. “ I will be the light in the never ending darkness. I will defend this city with my own hands."


He nodded to the woman and child and gave a turn of his head to signal for them to leave. The woman teared up and held her child closely, thanking Jericho then made a hasty exit. “Now who is leading these bandits?”


@[member="Zalderic Drayke"]
 
Zalderic was a good distance away to the north. He stood on a hill viewing the city from a safe distance. He had after all orchestrated this attack. As it turned out, the bandits were not that strong willed and seemed to be looking to fight. All it had taken was a little persuasion and they were ready to attack. His target, @[member="Jericho"], was inside the city. The bandits couldn't kill him, but they could create the diversion he needed. He watched as they lit fire to another building. This man would do whatever possible to save these people, a weakness he could easily exploit. He began walking towards the city.

A few minutes later~
Zalderic approached the northern wall, using the Force he easily jumped it. He stood atop a rooftop looking down into the turmoil. He picked out a man who would be easy prey for his little mind games. Jumping down, he strode over to him.

"Find him." He said to the man with a wave of his hand, showing him an image of the man on his data pad. The man hesitated then nodded and ran off into the crowd.
 
Jericho battled through the city, fighting wave after wave of men and saving as many citizens as he should. "I have to find the leader and end this quickly, before more people get hurt. There is only so much I can do." Jericho thought to himself. He was the type of man who thought of the big picture rather than going on and on like this. He tried to interrogate each man but it only ended in failure each time. Until he saw a regular man stood several feet across from him in an eerie fashion among the fires. While there was a sense of high stakes and chaos, there was a dark calmness to the man, Jericho recalled his saber and slowly walked over to the man but stopped when the man raised his hand.
"I was sent to find you." The man said in a calm voice. "The leader wishes to meet with you, I don't know why. He is at the northern part of the city."

Without a word he lifted his left leg back, as he kicked it, leaning forward to give it more length. The bottom of his foot hit the ground and sent Jericho hurling over the man. He casually looked around and grasped his orange dual sided saber and thirled it around, midair, to his side. With the blade in hand, a single orange edge was turned on. Whoever this man is and whatever he had planned was going down. He jumped from building to building until he saw a man in dark robes standing and waiting.


He quickly looked around and saw that there was no one else around, he check the area to see what could be used to his advantage. Jericho could sense the man's signature and could tell that he was another force-user; sith or otherwise. That being the case he went into a powerful Shien stance. Before starting did a short head bow, then without another word or excessive movement made his attack. He swift made his starting attack to grasp the level of his foe. He using the force he increased his speed and ran to close the distance then switched to increase his own strength and swung one vertical strike followed by two horizontal strikes, hoping to overwhelm his enemy.
 
Blast it. Not only had this man not followed Zalderic's orders, he had told him exactly where to find him. He really needed to improve that little trick.

"There must be some mistake." He said as @[member="Jericho"] bowed, preparing to large. "You don't want to fight me." His voice was commanding, it sent a cold wave of fear towards him.

The man still charged, his words seemed to have little effect. He activated his violet blade and immediately went on the defensive. He allowed Jericho's strikes to force him backwards, towards a crowd of people. He countered with a swift strike at the legs, then swung diagonally down towards his chest.
 
"You don't want to fight me." The man said sending a force energy of fear, luckily Jericho was too strong willed to be affect. But it was reveal to Jericho's assumption, he was a dark sider and that did not bode well for his foe. Feeling the dark signature this motivated to fight harder for the people, his strikes forced the other fighter backwards and when the other fighter regained his footing he went to strike at Jericho's leg.

Jericho's quickly did a downward block to stop the attack, but the other man followed the his low attack by switching his swing to a downward diagonal strike. The nameless darksider was not without some skill with the saber, Jericho wasn't going to underestimate the man and was going to remain on the aggressive. Jericho switched one handed and did an upward side block, utilizing the close quarters, with his free hand punch the other man's exposed ribs and punched simultaneously sending a force push in hopes to send the man flying a good distance.

@[member="Zalderic Drayke"]
 
Zalderic flew back a good distance. He felt the pain in his ribs. As he crashed into a merchants stand, it drew the attention of a group of people standing to the side. Perfect. He thought, these people would be serve as bait, should he need them. He stood up, then levitating the fruit threw them at @[member="Jericho"]. Using it as a diversion he slipped into the crowd.
