When Shadows Strike

[Daxton Bane]

Kuat was one of the earliest planets to join the Republic, and was a key ally in their production of warships. This had caused many problems for the opposition, who time and time again tried to convince the Kuat that a change in alliance would be in their best interest.

Irinia Kuat, first born daughter of the Kuat of Kuat and Republic Senator was touring the shipyard to see for herself the impact of the new renovations to the production output, indeed it was beneficial as they now produced ships 3% faster than they did in the past.

As she and her companions were gazing out of the giant observation windows, a shadow detached itself from the roof and landed silently behind them. The only warning they received was the cycling hum of blaster before her escorts where hit by a heavy blaster bolts turning them into so much pulped meat.

If his face could be seen beneath the highly reflective blue armor, they would have seen Daxton smile as he dropped the empty pistol and drew his lightsaber staff. She was pretty as far as humans went, so it would be a pity to carve her up. But a lesson was needed and an example set. "A pity you didn't consider our proposal seriously. Now your life will come to an end and there is no one to blame but yourself. Don't worry if you beg, I promise to make it quick."

Igniting the fore end of his lightsaber staff, Daxton stalked forward with the intention to kill.

Leon was keeping his distance from the Senator as she had ordered him to trail her as good as a shadow. He was good at shadowing himself and following people, he had a long experience doing it before. He was on a platform below the observatory the Senator was in, he would not have detected the danger that had suddenly appeared unless it was for Irinia's push of the panic button on the small device in her robe. This meant her guards were dead and he had to come immediately. The hired lightsaber jumped from the platform and fired his fibrocord at the observatory above. It pulled him and with a jump he broke through the windows with the help of a force push either. He landed next to the Senator and was surprised at what the danger was.

A Sith.

A red lightsaber staff in the hands of a Zabrak. Leon did not know how skilled the Sith was but his job ordered him to engage him at any cost but before that...

"Senator, drop below using the fibrocord and run to safety. Alert the security. I will take care of him." Leon said calmly while taking a few steps infront of the daughter of the Kuat of Kuat, she quickly had nodded to his instructions and safely slided down the fibrocord. From now on it was Leon's job to engage the enemy. He unsheathed the hilt of his lightsaber and igniting his blue blade standing in the familiar Soresu stance.

"Let's see how much you've got, Sith." He said taunting his opponent with a smirk while remaining calm. His taunts were also part of his fightstyle.

 

[Daxton Bane]

Daxton wasn't the least preturbed when the window shattered and the warrior arrived. He watched with a feeling akin to amusement as he instructed her to escape. "You can run Senator but you can never hide. Justice is coming for you."

Sneering at the Jedi, he activated the second blade and swirled the lightsaber staff in his hand, as he paced, getting a measure of his foe. "So eager to die Jedi? Very well I will grant you your death wish. But before kill you and finish the business at hand, I want to know the name of the Jedi I am about to kill." While he spoke, he drew in more of the Dark Side, allowing the Orbaleth attached to him to feel and pump more toxins into his system, further fueling his enhance muscles and reflexes.

"Jedi ? " Leon smirked as the Sith approached him. The hired lightsaber could feel the dark energy flowing through his opponent but he remained calm. "You're mistaken. Jut like you are mistaken that you will live through this battle."

The hired lightsaber twirled his lightsaber in his hand remaining in the Soresu stance, with his free hand he motioned to the shattered glass sending it with the force at his approaching enemy. With the glass going at the Zabrak at high speed as distraction, Leon would lunge forward opening the battle with a diagonal slash at the Sith's torso while doing so he said confidently:

"The name's Leon Fey'rel. And it's the last name you will get to know in this life." He chuckled but his focus remained on the battle at hand.

 

[Daxton Bane]

"Not a Jedi eh? Most interesting." Daxton said as he spun his staff to deflect both the glass and the light saber blade, the blue and orange blades hissed in anticipation of biting into flesh, only to part seconds later. Across his chest armor, there was scoring where the blade connected with metal. "Much pride I sense in you. That is good. You can take pride that today you will taste defeat at the hands of Bane."

Aiming a strike at his opponent's wrist to disarm him, the Sith kept the his superior speed in check in case he needed to parry a counter attack. "Why do you work for these fools? Join us in the Dark Side and fulfill your full potential."

 

[Zef Halo]

"Not everyone wielding a lightsaber is a Jedi or a Sith." Leon said as his blade clashed with the Sith's. Both weapons parted and Leon noticed his blade had grazed the metal armor of the opponent who would go by the name of Bane. The Sith attacked with a slash at Leon's wrist. The hired lightsaber had to take a step backward and after parrying the staff away he stood his ground without attempting any attack.

"I work for whoever pays." Leon spoke and continued. "The Dark Side ? You will witness today that the Dark Side will not be enough to save you from your demise." The young man continued with a taunt at Bane. "You are nothing but a slave to hunger for power, just like all Sith are. Pathetic."

 

[Daxton Bane]

"There is only Light and Dark. There is no in between." Daxton laughed as he disengaged his light staff into two separate blades. Crossing them together they began to hiss and crackle as the Sith stalked the young force user. "To believe in nothing, means you are nothing."

With a snarl, he launched sweeping strikes in opposing directions to the Jedi's flanks. Faster and faster he struck, the goal is to force his opponent back against the broken window. Then without warning he would send a Force enhanced kick to the chin, with enough power to knock a Rancor out cold.

"Oh I believe in something. Something slaves like you don't." Leon said remaining in his Soresu stance and continued. "I believe in myself."
The Sith had disengaged his lightsaber staff into two dual blades and charged the hired lightsaber. Leon expected the Sith to finally show his true nature and begin his restless assault something Soresu was made for against. While the Sith slashed from each sides and forced Leon to step backwards and backwards he deflected both blades with as less as energy as possible, the main principle in Soresu. If the battle prolonged Leon would have the upper hand by having more stamina than his opponent. The kick was quick enough to hit Leon but he was able to reinforce his blocking hands with the Force lessering the impact despite that he was sent flying off the window but as regained his balance mid air and landed on his feet looking up and awaiting for the Sith to attack. He noticed some crates on the other end of the platform and using the force sent them at his Sith opponent who was above.

"Is that all you've got, Sith ?"

 

[Daxton Bane]

Daxton followed him out the window, running on top and over the crates before landing feet first on the platform, as the crates flew through the empty window pane. "But wait there is more." He promised as third lightsaber blazed to life in the buzz of electric blue. Unlike the two orange blades in each hand, this lightsaber floated as if held by an unseen wielder.

Soresu might be an effective defense against his dual blades, but that is why he developed the Koltak or scorpion sting technique. By using the force, he could switch between all three blades, striking from various directions and speeds. The weakeness of most force users was they only used one blade, so how could you block and attack from the front and back simultaneously.

"Although I do believe congratulations are in order. I was expecting this to be another boring execution. You have at least made things.....exciting." Rushing to meet his foe, he began a complex series of blows and half feints, relying on his speed and agility and the third lightsabers attacks to keep his foe off balance.
