This Ain't Twilight (Open Saber Training)

[Syn]

[member="Una Gal"] [member="Nima Tann"] @Anyone who wants saber lessons

He hadn't been training a class in a long time and walking into the section of jungle as the waterfall sounded nearby and the animals came around. he knew why, there hadn't been many to teach or better reasons he hadn't found much use outside of meditating and looking toward the things he could handle.

Now he was standing in tight combat pants with his sash over his eyes. Scars and the shortest, finest fur covering his chest and back that gave swirls and waves of brown, pale yellow and white.... a little black splotch here or there and some grey from age. The still youthful looking jedi master stood there on the damp ground that was just shy of solid but not quite muddy.

"Welcome padawans." He let the two sabers on his belt clink against the belt and gave a small smirk on his face while he ran a hand through short spiked hair. The padawans assembled were here and the newest from the silver jedi that they had to offer so teach them the basics. "We are goign to get you familiar with the lightsaber blade and some force skills.

Ellain was simply watching at the moment, the training saber her master had given her back at the Jedi Temple on Ossus in her hands. She still wasn't comfortable around the Silver Jedi to a high degree, and showed that as she sat in the back near the shadows with her hood over her face and cloak around her, not sure how her master would take he looking for training past his own.

Here she was though, fumbling with the training saber she had no experience with at all, her mind drawn inwards and her body made small as she avoided as much attention as possible.

 

[Una Gal]

Una skidded around the corner, flinging her body unknowingly into the shirtless master. She grunted heavily as she came to collide with his chest and adjusted herself, a soft blush gracing her cheeks as she realized the situation. The thin strip of white material that covered her assets clung to her skin as her chest heaved up and down, attempting to catch her breath after running so quickly. Though it wasn't necessarily important that she was on time she couldn't help but feel she had let someone down. Her black genie pants caught the wind, flaring up as she stumbled a few steps backward to stand in front of the Master.

"I-.." Her jaw dropped. Over her many years of travelling Una had seen many an attractive man and had even had the pleasure of being introduced to a few. But this man was something else. Her eyes quickly scanned his body and her teeth sunk into her lip, rather involuntarily. "I'm sorry Master... uh..."

She had no idea what his name was. But she could definitely get down with what he was all about. Una had never held a lightsaber before and the notion that something incredibly wrong could happen swum around in her mind. It was quickly replaced with the realization that there was a first time for everything and that she definitely wasn't going to have some kind of stress induced break down. Not in front of him. In response to his words she nodded her head quickly, pulling the waist band of her pants up past her hips.

She headed the way to the training area, which is a forest of all the colors and the animal voices coming from the depths were relaxing a lot. She was excited for the training, because she always loved to learn new tricks. She was raised this way, learning was the way of the Jedi. She knew most of the Masters of the Order, her stepfather brought her a lot to the Temple when she was a little child and she loved to watch the training of new Padawans, hoping to learn a few things, and most of the moves that she use now were the ones that she saw when she was a child. She left her step father's lightsaber at home, and brought the training lightsaber that the Temple gave her, thinking that bringing a lightsaber into a training session would be rude. She woke up late a little, so she rushed through her destination.When she arrived, she saw the Master had already come. She bowed to him, and talked.

"Umm... I am sorry, Master Syn. I am a little late." She said with her voice shaking, it was because of excitement and shyness.

Chi'Yara arrived near silently to the training session, his training blade still clipped at his belt. He deigned to simply watch for the moment, having already begun training under his own master and unsure as to what the man would think about his learning under another. But he had showed up anyway, and there was no backing down now that he'd arrived.
He took a few steps forward and studied a few of the others curiously, noting the few new faces that had joined shortly after he himself did. With a polite bow to the senior Jedi he spoke quietly, "Master."
The Padawan fell silent once more, content to simply observe for the time being, noting with a slight smile that the two newest Padawans were attending. So he would have a chance to perhaps meet some of the other students this time. Though he enjoyed training under his own master it was much better to have the opportunity to interact with others.

Looking at Una and the others Syn stood there for a moment and gave a nod of his head. They could begin and plenty of room for others to appear. While he spared a thought to hoping Iella would show only because he knew his padawan now the master of the Silver Order still liked a training session or two. Among other things while he brought his hand out and pushed an illusion from the white current around them.

The sides of the mud pit to be more like transparasteel with those outside able to look in on them but for the padawan it would look like a very thick forest. He spoke standing so that each of them was there in his view. "Welcome, for those who do not know my I am Syn, a jedi master from before many of you were born. I am also here to make sure you are safe and not going to get killed in your first fight against a sith."

He unclipped one of the saber and it activated with an orange blade and a snap hiss while he held it and adjusted the power settings to low. "Your blade is a symbol of who you are, as jedi it is a powerful tool able to defuse situations, in a battle a weapon to protect people and when needed something you can use to help you but do not always come to rely on it. It can be broken or destroyed."

He held the blade forward looking at them. "So who here has been shown the basics of using a saber already?"

 

[Una Gal]

Una marveled at the sudden transformation, and as usual, couldn't keep herself still. Her weight shifted from one foot to the other in a excited manor as she listened to every word he said. Unlike the others Una hadn't been issued with a training saber yet so she felt a little out of place as the blade hissed and revealed its bright beam. She was almost itching to try, which was unusual for her. Usually, right about now, she'd begin to feel the pressure of it being her first time. But this was an exciting development. She shook her head in response to Syn's question.

[Nima Tann]

As she heard Master [member="Syn"] speaking, her excitement for the training started to increase. She always had her stepfather's lightsaber around when she went on a mission. She always thought her stepfather, and her memories of him lived with that lightsaber. She escaped from her thoughts when she heard the Master asking a question.She had a little experience with how to use a saber,. Her stepfather taught her everything that she knew, including how to use the saber effectively and how to stand when fighting. But her knowledge wasn't enough for her to defeat a Sith, of course. To answer his question, she nodded to the Master, then she started to wait excitedly for the training to start.

Once Master [member="Syn"] spoke his name Chi’Yara committed it to memory, knowing they would most likely cross paths eventually somewhere along the line. At the sound of the man’s blade igniting he looked up, studying the orange blade for a moment.
He shook his head at the question that was asked of them, having had limited chances to ignite his own blade previous to this training session, let alone use it in a combat situation. The prospect interested him, certainly, and he’d been looking forward to any chance to train his abilities in that area since he’d been apprenticed.

Ellain swallowed, looking at the others and cursing in her mind, sure she didn't know any of the forms but a vibroblade she had used before and held her own against a Sith acolyte back with the New Order, her being was pleading for someone to simply say they had had experience in the area as she made herself smaller, both in body and subconsciously in presence, a trick she had picked up on while working with Sith assassins.

Syn looked at the two and then Ellain who didn't have a blade as he adjusted the power setting and moved over to her letting the orange blade hum. "Here padawan take this and join the other." The jedi master moved so he was standing in front of them and brought out a second blade it activating with a silvery blue light so that he held it with one hand. He moved looking upon all of them and raising the blade before speaking.

"Take the jedi ready stance, your position will allow you to defend from strikes that are coming at you from almost all angles. Your saber will be your life something you can use as a powerful tool and even when deactivated it will be able to diffuse dangerous situations. The basics of Shii-cho creates the stances and leads into all the forms including some of the unorthodox ones with grappling and hand to hand."

"That is why we are here, somewhere you can grapple with each other as need be and practice without to much risk. I will even be able to heal you if you burn yourself." He moved to make sure each was in the proper stance and tapped lightly their arms or feet to get them into a good setup. "There you all go, now who here has fought a sith before?"

 

[Baalagor]

Chi'Yara studied his own stance for a moment, becoming aware of just how his limbs were set, knowing this wouldn't be the last time he took the position by any means. He adjusted his grip on the azure blade, looking to Master [member="Syn"] again as he spoke once more. And this time, he had an answer. "Not fight exactly, but on my way to this Temple I had chance to observe one in combat."
With that he fell silent, returning to focusing on himself and the way he stood, along with focusing inwards and drawing on the Force, having watched the energy field serve its own purpose in combat. It was a powerful ally, certainly, and one he didn't aim to forget he had at his disposal, however experienced he was in its use.

After [member="Ellain Hadrin"] took the training saber from the master, their training session had started. As Master [member="Syn"] was instructing the Padawan how to use their body to do a good stance, she was trying to perfect her stance, because she wanted to be the sword to her enemies and the shield to the innocent. Looking to the others, she saw the most of the Padawans was doing a good job. By standing the way she did, she focused on her training saber, she held it tightly. Holding her weapon this tightly was restricting her moves, making her slower. At the same time she was listening to her instructor. She always saw her weapon as an ally, wherever she went she brought it with her. Master Syn have asked a question, and after she listened the other Padawan, [member="Chi'Yara"] , she replied his question. "Well, not with a Sith, but I have experience in fighting"

[member="Una Gal"]

 

[Una Gal]

She listened intently. More intently then she had in any previous lesson. "I've never fought anyone before." Una was brand spanking new to all of this Jedi business, but she never realized it could be so good looking...

She snapped out of her daze, shuffling her feet into an awkward looking position. She had no idea how to do any of this. Her body held lose as she tried to copy the others. Though she was light on her feet and quick to learn it was hard putting yourself in a stance when you looked at it from the side. All in all, she felt a little stupid as she meekly brought the saber up to her waist. One large breath later, she finally decided to give up on copying and resolved to wait for Master Syn to adjust her position. She let her arms drop to her side and swing there for a moment as she stood patiently. After all, she couldn't see a problem with a little hands on work, especially if they were his hands on her.

"I have... fight a sith that is..." She held the saber cautiously, not used to the feel of it and a bit daunted by it. "It was a Zeltron... i shot it in the face and it cut off..." She paused her body shifting and the left limbs of her body tingled, their loss from her body still haunting her as she could not feel them as if they were still organic. Only the bitter cold chill of metal.

Syn moved his hands for Una, focused on making sure her arms held the blade at the ready and wrapping hand over hers while he stood behind her speaking softly but loud enough to be speaking clearly."Just like this, feet apart, knee's slightly bent and hands holding the blade in front of you slightly pointed. "He spoke showing the stance while checking the others, they had it down. "Now once you are in the stance I want you to face off with one another lightly strike and move slowly at fight before we start going into some of the techniques. Defend and attack, as for you Padawan Una... I have faith in your skills. I have never failed to teach a student how to hold a blade, we can be here all day and night if we have to."

 

[Una Gal]

She held her breath as his hands curled around hers. Una adjusted herself correctly according to his instructions and fought off the urge to giggle like a school girl when she felt his chest against her back. Wriggling her hips slightly as she got used to the position, she turned her head to face him with a charming smile of appreciation. Not being able to help it, Una let her eyes travel up and down his chest quickly, before turning her head to focus on her stance.

She watched as he returned to the front. His compliment brought another deep red blush to her cheeks. "Thank you Master Syn."

[Jeela Tillian]

Jeela had been there since the beginning, standing quietly off in the corner because the writer has been having a rough time and sometimes forgets to post things.

She stiffened when Syn changed the appearance of the training area. It was the White Current, far beyond anything she had even thought herself capable of. She probed out, experimentally. The spider-webbing was there, but she left it. No need to over-strain herself with trying to peel away an illusion. With trying being the key word.

She moved on from the illusion and focused on her lightsaber, turned down to its lowest setting. Despite being perhaps the second most experienced padawan here, she had never been in a lightsaber duel. Or used it more than once in combat.

The Jedi stance was fairly familiar to her. It was one of the ones used in Jensaarai teaching, but not a main one, so she studied the others and the corrections Syn made, and adjusted her own stance. Shii-Cho. Interesting. It had been some time since she had trained in that. Years, to be precise.

 

[Syn]

[[just a quick one to setup teams for sparring]]

Syn felt Jeela and gave a nod of his head as it took in the five padawans. "Alright now to break you five up into partners. Padawans [member="Jeela Tillian "] and [member="Chi'Yara"] will be together and padawans [member="Ellain Hadrin"] will work with [member="Nima Tann"]. Padawan [member="Una Gal"] you will work with me so we can move at a pace you are comfortable it. I want each of you to practice attacking and defending, try and move your blade to each point from the jedi ready stance." He stood there and walked further into the mud pit. "Padawan Gal when you are ready, be careful we don't want yo to slip."

 

[Nima Tann]

As she continued to practise her combat stance and listen Master [member="Syn"] at the same time, she understood that the time for the real training had begun, and got excited. She was teamed up with [member="Ellain Hadrin"] to spar with each other. She smiled to [member="Una Gal"], said with a playful tone "You lucky." she patted her shoulder. Then, she went near to her teammate, putting a big smile on her face, trying not to be rude. "So, are you ready for the training?" she asked, one could read the excitement from her voice.
