"Esteban I advise that you take his advice. Alimar seems to have a lot more training than you. He hasn't even used the full extent of his powers," Lialai told Esteban.

"Fine," Esteban scowled. "If anyone wants me I'll be in my room."

He put away the stunstick and left the training room.

Douzu sighed, "He pushes himself too hard."

Lialai said "Yeah he probably does." She looked at Douzu and said "So how about you and I have a real duel? That means lightsabers, the force, special abilities and all. We can always use the Force to heal ourselves."

Douzu looked to where Wanda and Taja were still dueling between themselves. "Sure, why not."

Lialai withdrew her lightsaber and extinguished the green blade. The emeralds in the hilt glistened as the lightsaber blade passed through. "You're move."

Douzu nodded and drew his lightsaber, he breifly looked at Lialai before leaping into action and taking a swipe at her midsection.

Lialai jumped back and sent a blast of air at Douzu's weapon to force the point of the blade to go down to the floor. She then ran up on Douzu and slashed her blade down towards Douzu's shoulder.

Douzu twisted his body and avoided the blade. As it went past him, he aimed a kick al Lialai's feet to try and unbalance her.

Lialai did a backflip over Douzu's foot and while upside down she launched a wind compulsion at his legs. She landed on her feet and quickly took up a Juyo/ Vaapad fighting stance.


********************

Den Wescolum stayed in his room reading up on the laws of ninjutsu and jujutsu. He understood the whole system of ninjas for in his native land they had similar warriors. He decided to try and design his own jutsu. He found the correct signs and tried it. He said aloud "Mind Thought Jutsu". He felt a surge of energy develop around his hands and head. He felt that whatever he thought would instantly happen ,but as soon as the energy came it left. Den sighed and said "I need to learn to control my chakra better." He left his room to find some trees. In his book he read that running up and down trees can help you to control your chakra.

Douzu leapt to the side, away from Lialai. He took up a defencive stance and watched her.

Lialai stalked in closely to Douzu and circled around Douzu. She then said to him ,"You are pretty good, a lot better than Esteban." She took a straight jab at Douzu's stomach.

Douzu said nothing, instead he brought down his lightsaber to block Lialai's attack. He could tell it was mind games from her.

Lialai smiled and thought to herself ,Smart boy. He won't let me get into his head. She pulledf her blade up quickly and locked blades with Douzu. She pushed her blade up to until it was parallel with her face. She then released her left arm from the hilt and grabbed one of his arms and tried to throw him.

Realising what she was doing, Douzu kicked out at her legs. If she as much as stumbled, he was ready to use force push to push her over.

Lialai saw the kick coming and quickly countered it. She released his arm and grabbed his foot. She pushed him back and took up her stance again.

Douzu did a back flip as he was pushed away and landed on his feet. His eyes were centred on Lialai.

"Nothing gets past you," he smirked.

OOC: Sorry, I must go now.

OOC: Yeah I gotta go to.

IC: Lialai backed away from Douzu and thought of about her next move.

Douzu's eyes studied Lialai, her face, her eyes and body. She was planning her next move but rather then let her finish planning, Douzu aimed an attack at her midsection.

Lialai's eyes widened as she saw the slash at her midsection coming . She stepped to the side and tried a sweep kick at Douzu's legs.

She caught his legs and he was just about ready to go then, however he put his and down and flipped over landing back on his feet behind her.

"Hmph," he smirked.

He eyed her up for his next move.

Lialai smiled. He is starting to make mistakes., she thought to herself. She held her upside down in a classic Soresu form. She then used the shiny hilt of her lightsaber to see behind herself. She saw Douzu standing behind her. She put her game face back on and moved at lightning speed to a position directly to the left of Douzu. She took her blade and slashed once again at Douzu's shoulder.

Douzu quickly leapt out of the way and brought his lightsaber up to block her attack. There was no way that he was going to let her win.

Meanwhile Tarja and Wanda had finished their fight and were now watching.

Lialai locked blades with Douzu. She looked at his legs. She then attacked towards his foot. At the same time she brought her left hand upwards and used the Force push.

At the same time, Douzu used force push on Lialai. He dodged the attack to his legs, keeping himself steady despite her using force push.

Douzu's force push countered Lialai's push but it also helped her. She let go of her push and quickly teleported behind Douzu. She then used her stone blitz technique and shot it directly at Douzu's back. It was a perfect shot and there was nothing that he could really do about it.

Douzu was hit in the back and went down.

Lialai looked at Douzu. She knew that what he was doing could be a trick. She pointed her lightsaber blade at him and slowly walked up to him. When she walked up next to him she held her blade directly at the back of his head. She then said "This duel is over Douzu." She held her lightsaber in that position until he replied.

"I'm not a dummy," Douzu protested.

Lialai's blade was pointed at the head of one of the training room dummies. Douzu's voice had come from directly behind her. He placed his blade over her shoulder, near her neck.

"Just because you see me, doesn't mean it is me."

Lialai teleported quickly away from Douzu. She smiled at him. "Nice replacement jutsu. I'll have to use that one day. Until then I'll just be teleporting everywhere." A popping noise sounded as Lialai seemingly disappeared from the room.

"Damn teleporters," Douzu cursed.

He reached out thruogh the force to see where she had teleported to.

Lialai saw how Douzu was using the Force to try and find her. Lialai said to herself "Time to come out of hiding. She lept from the corner of ceiling and landed behind Douzu. She then said "Shall we continue?"

Douzu said nothing, instead he spun around and made an attacking move. He made a slash toward her midsection.

Lialai simply stepped to the side and then slashed at his knees.

Douzu easily jumped the attack and landed behind her. Quickly he made a slash for her back.

Lialai snapped her finger and used the Force to block the blow. She then turned around brought her blade down on Douzu's shoulder.

Douzu twisted his body around to avoid the blow. The blade barely touched his clothes. She was good, but she wasn't going to deafeat him. He took a few steps back, contemplating his next move.

Lialai backed up and looked at her new rival. He looked like he was trying as hard as he could. Lialai knew that he would be a good practice partner in the future, but she knew she had to finish this soon. She had to meet Taan by the lake, but she wasn't going to let Douzu win. She raised her blade and waited for Douzu's next attack.

==========================================================

Master Wescolum had been up in outside for a long time practicing his chakra. He had found the tallest tree in Draconis Nightcrawlis and climbed all the way to the top. He had his control. Now he had to learn how to use his special jutsu. He decided that he would do this down by the water.

Douzu eyed her up looking for a possible weak point. So far it didn't seem she had one. Using as much speed and strength as possible, he attacked her and aimed for the arm she held her lightsaber in.

Lialai twisted out of the way and switched her blade to her opposite hand. She then quickly brought her blade down toward Douzu's weaponless arm.

Douzu twisted his body, with Lialai attacking his weaponless arm he grabbed for her arm. If successful he would kick at her legs and take her to the ground.

Douzu grabbed Lialai's arm. Lialai quickly used a reversal and took control over his arm. She then brought her lightsaber up to his chest.

With his weapon arm free, Douzu pulled up his lightsaber to knock hers away and kicked at her leg to try and make her lose balance.

OOC: What happened to everyone else?

Lialai tryed to backflip out of the way but Douzu's foot clipped her in midair. She fell down but she was still in it. She did a quick sweep kick at Douzu's foot to try and knock him down to the floor.

Douzu caught that move and leapt up just in time to avoid getting taken down. He knew that might give her an opening so he quickly used force push on her.

OOC: Dunno actually, CW I know is not able to post. Don't know about the others.

Lialai lept over Douzu's Force Push and sent aerial Force Push directly at him. She landed and took up a quick stance.

Douzu leapt out of the way and eyed Lialai up. He placed the lightsaber in defencive mode, expecting her to make the next move.

Lialai hovered in the air for a moment and looked down at Douzu. He was a fierce opponent and didn't ever give up. She thought to herself We have been dueling for days it seems like now. She looked at Douzu and said, "Douzu this duel is over for the time being. I have some things to attend to. I enjoyed this spar very much. Thank you." Lialai then bowed and walked away from Douzu.

Douzu bowed back. As she left, he leaned against the wall to catch his breath.

OOC: Where is everyone?

Lialai walked out into the hallway to see if she could find Taan.

“I think we should send scouting teams out to the two locations Eamonn mentioned,” Jr suggested. “It’s better to find out now then to wait.”

Gaara nodded in agreement. “I will order Suna’s best ninja team out to the Norns planet,” he said. “They will be best suited to deal with the mind games the goddesses will no doubt try.”

The thought of mind games worried Kurt, he could still remember what the Norns had put them through the last time they had been there. Thankfully they hadn’t bothered with them when Eamonn came back and they rescued him from the planet.

“I wouldn’t envy their task,” the King admitted.

“They’re the best to deal with it,” Gaara explained. “They have the jutsus to see through any mind tricks the Norns can throw at them.”

Kurt nodded, he knew by now that they needed to locate Lady Dedlock and soon.

Maiyr eventually did finish his chip and they never even got cold. Master Blexe smiled as he did so.

“I must show you to a guest room,” he said standing up. “You must be tired.”

Maiyr said nothing as he went to follow the academy head. His only thoughts were of wondering where is brother Zadeth was.

“I must warn you, that you will be guarded twenty-four/seven.”

The young boy just nodded.

Master Blexe sat down in his room and sighed. Master Wescolum and Jedi Knight Qoda, please come to my room.

Wescolum received the message and teleported to Master Blexe's room. He looked at Master Blexe and said "What disturbs you, Master Blexe?".

"It is not what disturbs me, it is a clue I might have picked up from young Maiyr," Master Blexe explained. "I picked up a flash of a location he had been to, I recognise it as the ruins of a civilisation in this galaxy."

Den replied "So what do you suggest we do?"

Master Blexe closed his eyes and rubbed his chin. "I propose a scouting party," he suggested.

Consisting of who? We do not have enough knights to go on this mission and there are few padawan that I can think of that may be able to handle the mission.

Master Blexe nodded. "I do believe we have some padawans just suited for this and I do believe you know who they are so it is up to you to organise them," he then said.

Douzu left the training room and headed back outside. Meanwhile Wanda and Tarja stayed there to practice a few new moves.

OOC: What's up since I've been gone?

OOC: A few of the padawans have been training. Master Blexe has retrieved a possible location of Lady Dedlock from Maiyr and plans are being made to head out and Gaara is sending a team to the Norns planet.

Den left Master Blexe's study. He walked back to his room and thought about the padawans who he believed were ready for this exploration. A few names popped up into his head. The first was his padawan Lialai. She had progressed really well. Another one was Raist but the master hadn't heard much from him. Other names then came to him. He thought of Alimar, Jacen and Douzu. He knew for sure that those three along with Lialai would be perfect for the mission. He just needed to gather them all up.

Outside, Douzu was practicing his lightsaber moves alone in the now fading light.

Master Raven looked through the dim light at Drahcir. The Jedi Masters eyes piercing into the dark Jedi’s blackened soul.

“Where is Lady Dedlock?” he demanded.

Drahcir turned his head sideways. “And why would I tell you that?” he replied. “You could keep me here for eternity and still get nothing out of me.”

Master Raven closed his eyes and leaned against the wall. “We shall see about that, it’s true I cannot probe your mind or influence it in anyway.”

Drahcir chuckled. “And Maiyr can’t remember,” he said. He tried to move but found his hands bound to the chair. “It was a good job I wiped that info from his mind, he is a traitor just like Zadeth, just like my brother.”

Master Raven hid a twitch from that remark, contrary to what Drahcir thought, Zadeth and his younger brother Maiyr both did the right thing it turning from the darkside. However Master Raven had received the information he needed. In knowing who had wiped his mind, it would be easier to help Maiyr remember. Master Raven smiled to himself and left Drahcir’s cell.
