To train the future (Jen'ari only)

[Jack Anderson]

Jack was surprised, the Shadowgaurd had shrugged off the equivalent of an anti tank rifle but that didn't matter for the moment, as he turned to grab the attacker's pike, he didn't want to get hit by the glowing end of that, he wasn't wearing his Sith Armour he didn't have anything to protect against it. That was when out of nowhere, well, from behind he was blasted by the full force of the other guard's lightning, or well his armour did, the shields taking a good part of it before he felt it flowing into him, not wanting to be stuck between the two of them he activated his jetpack and gave himself an extra kick off with the force trying to get some distance. Midway though his arch Jack fired again, this time at the thigh, lots of blood vessels there, it would be a quick bleed out and limit their movement and sap their concentration to limit their abilities in the force as they adjusted to the pain and re-focused.

The shot nailed the shadow guard, within minutes he bled out and died. The last one focused on Jack flying through the air didn't notice Rowe behind him. Rowe ripped his helmet off and grabbed both sides of his head twisting it into a snap killing him. His body collapsed dead. Rowe looked to [member="Jack Anderson"] That's enough foreplay. Let's get down to your lessons. I'm going to teach you to channel your anger, build it up, harness the darkside then release it into a furious blast of force lightning like this. Rowe raised her hand and unleashed a blast of force lightning at Jack.

Nyx had been sent on the hunt for the crystals that would power her twin lightsabers, she had successfully found them, it wasn't easy or simple, she had traveled to the frozen planes of the planet, she had nearly frozen to death but kept going on her willpower alone, she had nonetheless found the crystals that she had needed, and had started her return trip to the temple, she moved quickly and quietly, her hood pulled low over her face, the rain pounded hard on her shoulders as she breathed deep, she approached the temple, entering quietly she would stand to the side not drawing attention to herself

Jack had let his guard down when Darth Rowe snapped the neck of his still living opponent, “So, what’s next master? I thought you wanted me to fight both of them?” Jack was satisfied in assuming he probably annoyed her by not using his sabers, but at the same time she would have seen that Jack knew that his sabers weren’t the perfect weapon for every situation, and that he would change his tactics and gear as needed.

As he set himself back on the ground and put away his rifle he listened to his master speak, once again he was hit by lightning, his shields ate the first part of it like usual, but quickly he was forced to a knee to weather the storm. But he didn’t try to block it out, this time Jack let it sink in, trying to read what sort of emotions were coming off of Rowe so that he could replicate them, or at least channel the pain into his own anger and rage.

Rowe stopped the lightning. This ability once practiced enough can be done with way less focus, but for now, you'll need to focus, feed off anger and the darkside then unleash it at me in lightning.

Rowe awaited [member="Jack Anderson"] attack. She also felt [member="Nyx Tempest"] return.

[Jack Anderson]

Jack got back to his feet and started focusing, he stretched his hand out and started digging up his anger, hatred, and the oh so fresh pain from just getting shocked himself, he tried to replicate the mental state his master was in when she attacked him with. Nothing. He tried again. Nothing. Jack was starting to get pissed and this time shoved both hands forward, and suddenly it was like a damn had burst, he could feel the power, fueled by pure anger washing down his arms and out his hands, he was doing it, and lighting danced out from his hands and towards his master like she instructed, and while it did paled in comparison to the amount for strength in Darth Rowe’s attack, it was still fairly strong for a first successful attempt.

Rowe stuck her hand out catching the lightning from [member="Jack Anderson"] and held it in her hand and turned to [member="Nyx Tempest"] then released the lightning at Nyx.

Nyx watched the training that happened in front of her, as Rowe turned to her she didn't even think about it, her body just reacted, she rolled and then all of the sudden she decided to give lightning a try, she focused her mind on her anger, all the times she felt enraged, and while thinking on that she also focused her passion, her love for Vallory and her missing her home. While doing this it happened, sparks jumped the gap between her fingers and then she focused them sending a bit stronger blast than Jack's

Rowe smiled at the Dodge but she then caught the lightning come back at her. Rowe dissolves the lightning in her hand. Rowe looks to [member="Jack Anderson"] I want you to feel the Darkside in yourself, harness the power, feed your rage and use the air molecules, rub them together in your hand, bring fire out and blast Nyx with it. Rowe looked to [member="Nyx Tempest"] You, I want you to reach deep into your lungs. While doing this, reach down deep and grab your hatred, your anger and let it all out in a scream at Jack. NOW you two will DUEL using only force lightning, Jack use pyrokinisis, and Nyx force scream.

Rowe walks into the force immune room and watches the two duel.

[Jack Anderson]

Underneath Jack’s mask a smile was forming, his right hand erupted into flames as his left has lighting jumping between the fingers, neither seems to hurt him. Jack started circling Nyx, there was no point in starting to thow all willy nilly, not after he was just out of a fight himself he’d figured that it would be better to wait and plan his strikes accordingly. He would have loved to just whip out his rifle, shoot Nyx and end the duel here, but force lightning and pyrokinesis only were the rules, so he would follow them. A moment longer and he had a plan, a pillar of flame erupted from the floor underneath Nyx’s feet and lighting went arching though the air ready to catch her mid dodge.

This wasn’t the first time Jack was directly using the force in combat, so he had an idea what to expect and how to manage his strength, what this was though, was his first time using only the force for combat, it was an interesting challenge, something Jack was looking forward to, nothing got his blood pumping like a good fight.

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Nyx had expected him to light the floor on fire beneath her feet, but what she didn't expect was his lightning to catch her mid dodge, it hit her and knocked her to the floor, she would roll from her back onto her feet, she would let the lightning jump between her fingers, she reached deep inside and let forth a scream, it was high pitched enough to break glass, it should have been powerful enough to knock jack back at least, as she let it go she would then fire the lightning from her fingers

As Jack watched his shields recharging for the lightning blast he knew was coming he was suddenly lifted off his feet and launched back into the wall, there was a ringing in his ears as well, whatever scream Nyx just called up from the depths of her lungs, fortunately for him she seemed to under estimate the strength of her shout and her force lighting sailed through the air where she expected him to be. Jack knew that that scream was going to be loads of trouble, so for now he’d stay mobile, making him harder to hit with it and with a little luck, throw off the expected trajectory if he did get hit, making follow up attacks difficult. Soon Both Jack’s hands and arms were sheathed in fire, and he began shooting off several bolts of fire rapidly and in a seemingly random, but actually incredibly complex pattern, something used to attack force users with a blaster normally, but now being used with a force power and the accuracy and timeline being enhanced by his connection to the dark side. Jack knew that even if a few of these hit none of them would be a finishing blow, he had focused on getting a lot of fast moving shots out, sacrificing power for speed, it was one of those things he was going to have to figure out what the optimal ratio was, but he did have time to mess around, he’s have to do it on the fly.

Nyx watched as her opponent went flying, it was shocking she never knew that her voice was the powerful, now that she knew it was, she would be using it more often. As her lightning missed, she cursed under her breath, as she saw Jack's arms light aflame she knew this was bad, she noted him moving quickly around her, shooting fire at her, she dodged the first few shots but then she was hit by one, it grazed her arm and she bit her lip, she then decided to try something, she would shoot force lightning from her right hand just one inch to Jack's left, if he reacted as she thought he would by slowing for only a second, that would give her an opportunity she would once again use force scream, if he didnt react that way she would shoot lightning towards his feet

Jack smirked under his mask as watched one of his fireballs gaze Nyx's arm singeing her clothing, a superficial hit, but still a hit, and he was having a good time with these new powers of his a few years ago, he still figured he would be a just a mercenary, flitting from warzone to warzone scraping weapons and credits wherever he could find them, but instead he was learning to become one of the galaxy's elite, he felt like he was actually important for once. Jack continued to throw low strength fire bolts at Nyx, mixing in the occasional shot of lightning just to keep her on her toes, still operating on the idea that if he threw enough poodoo at the walls some of it would stick, or in this case hurt Nyx, suddenly a shot of lightning shot past Jack, close enough that even though it didn't hit him it still drained some of the shielding from his armour, his combat reflexes kick in and he shifted his momentum to jump in a different direction giving Nyx the perfect shot with the force scream again and Jack was slammed back into the wall that he didn't realise was so close being to, this time the impact was worse and all the air was knocked from his lungs, as he caught his breath again Jack coughed and spit out some blood.

Jack felt his anger flair, it was clear in his eyes, this was no longer just a spar to him, there was murderous intent there, Nyx had to die now, somehow this had crossed a line in Jack's head, he stopped throwing fireballs and started causing pillars of fire to appear with the intent of boxing Nyx in before launching a barrage of force lightning at her, if the boxing was successful she'd have to make a choice take the lightning or jump into a pillar of force powered fire.
