With the blast not occurring, Celtar remained near his opponent. As his opponent sidestepped, Celtar matched him and stepped closer, bringing his lightsaber closer in order to defend against sudden attacks. Like a dance, Celtar again matched his opponent as he sidestepped for the second time though, given that there was less than a lightsaber's length between them, there wasn't much room in the first place as Celtar got just a tad closer. By this point, the two were close enough to hug, if not kiss.

Seeing the Sith begin to reach across himself, Celtar simply closed the remaining distance and, with his free left hand, reached out to grab his opponent's right wrist right as it touched the lightsaber and used the Force to improve his strength. Given that Celtar would only have to push down and keep his hand tightly squeezed around the Sith's wrist, he had gravity and leverage, as well as the Force, on his side. The Sith's left arm was wounded and Celtar's final step would effectively sandwich the two together, preventing Celtar from moving his left hand and preventing Xaxis from moving his right. As he made the final step, Celtar would simultaneously bring his lightsaber in from the side, aiming to penetrate the Sith's left chest with his deep blue lightsaber. Given the design of Celtar's lightsaber and the motion of his thrust, the Sith would be unable to simply grab the Knight's hand, wrist, or arm before it would be too late. With the Sith's wrist held by the Knight and his arm sandwiched between the two combatants, the Orc would likely be unable to move his lightsaber very much. If he attempted to block the lightsaber strike, Celtar would squeeze with all of his might in order to attempt to break the brittle bones present in a humanoid's wrist, preventing any effective use of that hand until medical attention was sought. Of course, without dealing with the incoming lightsaber blade, medical attention would likely be unnecessary.

If the Knight's attempt to grab his opponent's wrist did not work, he would keep his hand moving in an attempt to forcefully chop his opponent in the throat. If he were to hit the Orc's trachea, the probable bruising would definitely hurt and each breath would worsen it. If he were to hit one of the Orc's arteries, the spasm would likely result in severe lightheadedness, if not a syncopal episode that would last a few vital seconds. As he would go for the chop, however, Celtar would be moving to the Orc's right in order to prevent him from instantly attacking without gaining some room, subtly placing his foot between the Orc's so that, if he were to try to back up, he would likely trip and lose his balance, opening him up for a strike. Due to Celtar's placement just to the right of the Orc, Celtar's lightsaber would still be free to block any potential attacks while the Orc risked injuring himself if he attempted a strike.

Even with some of his arm burning from the edge of Celtar's lightsaber previously. His seething hatred for the Jedi made it easy to call upon the power of the dark side of the force to him. But for now, in the middle of the vicious melee with the Jedi, shortly after Xaxis' second sidestep, he knew the Jedi was keeping up. Adrenaline was flowing. Blood was flowing in his veins. And then Celtar grabbed the Taz'goreii's wrist physically just before the Sith could draw out his lightsaber, with the Jedi putting the force into holding it down as well.

This is the final straw.


As a knee-jerk reaction triggered on instinct, Xaxis then attempts to let out everything to create a mighty force amplified scream directed at Celtar as he was looking at Celtar's face. Drowning out everything else, the sudden burst of the sound would be amplified by Xaxis' feeling for hate, frustration, and pain. The sheer power with those feelings fueling it might be enough to disrupt everything Celtar is doing. With there being a half a second delay between the wrist-grabbing, the tip of Celtar's lightsaber hits it's mark, but with the force of Xaxis' scream, the momentum of the strike would stop. With the lightsaber strike hitting and causing pain, with the adrenaline he will still go through with it even though that will lower the power of his scream afterwards.

In addition to the raw damage of the soundwaves hitting him, Xaxis is expecting he should be sent flying back at the very least. If Celtar is blown away like expected, the tip of Celtar's lightsaber would most likely leave it's searing mark on the left side of Xaxis' chest as it flies away with the rest of it's owner. Although the damage caused by this hurts, it is lessened somewhat by the adrenaline flowing, but Xaxis should be the one better off from this exchange.
