Markus Dagger vs. Hayvan

[Phil]

Markus did not like this planet, with the toxic vents in the ground, the constant vibrations of the planet, and the storms above, this was not a safe place to be. But it didnt stop him from showing up here, he was not going to flee from this dual, even if it was on Felucia. He left his armor back at his ship, seeing how the terms today was that no armor was allowed. Therefore, he was only in his blue and black short sleave jump suit with his dark green hood and robe over him. He leaned against a rock, his blaster rifle resting against his back, as was his vibroblade incase he needed it.

 

[Cailst]

Hayvan prepared himself for battle. The strange and forbidding landscape of Malchor 5 was odd since he had just been on the fairly peaceful planet of Dantooine. Still, he was not going to let the oddity of the planet stop him.

He was meditating in the force so he could grow stronger within it. His force skills had grown some since he fought Roblio earlier on in the tournament. However, now, he was fighting a madalorian who had no force skills but also was immune to much of the force as well.

His mandalorian armor which was similar to chainmail in design was left in the ship leaving only his robe. It would be harder in one way, but his opponent didn't have armor and was probably more used to it so it probably would be a greater disadvantage to his opponent.

He then walked up to Markus.

"Hello Markus,"

 

[Phil]

Markus noticed the Jawa enter the battlefield. He heard of alot of spieces becoming Jedi, but he never imagined that a Jawa would be one. When he saw him approaching him, he unholstered his rifle and took aim, but saw he was unarmed. But it didnt make Markus put his rifle away, knowing the Jedi could just as well use there cheap tricks to change the tide.

"Something to say before we enter combat, Sir Jedi?"

Markus asked, now looking down at Hayvan.

 

[Cailst]

"We fight till one of us is knocked unconscious." Hayvan said in a somewhat deep and assured tone.

"Are you okay with those terms?" He politely asked to make sure those terms would be acceptable.

Then Hayvan put his hand in his pocket. His lightsaber was there and ready to be pulled out in a moments notice. He also looked around a bit. Knowledge of the terrain could be useful and he was making sure he could use every aspect of the terrain that was there.

 

[Phil]

"Until the first one to loose conscious. I can asure you, it will not be painless."

Markus said, noticing Hayvan pocketing his hand. His hand still gripped his rifle as he now pulled it out, but did not aim. Instead, used his other hand to remove his green cloak as he flew off him and away, a nearby crack in the ground emiting another toxic cloud, but they were both a good distance away from it.

"May the Best one Win..."

ANd no sooner then saying it, he yanked his grapple hook out from his side with his free hand, aiming it at a nearby rock that was sticking out of the canyon they were in and fired, the hook shooting out and plunging into it, yanking Markus away from the Jedi and towards the rock as he grabbed the edge of it, climbing up and taking aim at Hayvan with his rifle, Firing a charged blast at him.

 

[Cailst]

Seeing Markus get yanked up to a higher rock in the canyon, Hayvan pulled out his lightsaber and blocked the blast coming at him. While it was a surprise, Hayvan was now ready to fight.

He then pulled out his blaster pistol and fired a shot off at Markus, though he didn't really take a second to aim, he was a decent shot and could probably hit.

 

[Phil]

The First shot that Hayvan fired at Markus missed. He was now crouching on the rock, wondering if it would be able to support his weight. He took carful aim, setting the settings on his rifle, and fired a stream of blaster bolts, most of them being unaccurate as they shot out. Kinda odd for a Jedi to be using a Blaster, but he didnt think much on it, especialy when he was being fired at.

 

[Cailst]

Seeing Markus fire another volley of shots off at him, Hayvan put his lightsaber up in the air to block the shots, fortunately, most wouldn't even be able to hit him as they went awry. For the rest, he blocked them with his lightsaber.

With Markus clinging on to his rock, Hayvan did a force pull on the rock to bring it down and send Markus to the same level as him.

 

[Phil]

Markus noticed that Hayvan was reflecting his blasts away from him, the ones that were going right at him anyways. But instead of shooting at him or throwing his saber, he seemed to pull his hand back towards the rock Markus was under. Feeling the vibrations of the rock moving, a crack was appearing on it that made it look like it was about to split off from the wall. Seconds before the rock gave away, Markus pulled a small grenade from his belt and tossed it towards the Jedi as the rock fell down, along with Markus.

The Grenade wouldent kill, not with the energy supressent fields in the area. But it would cause enough damage to knock out whoever it was near or seriously injure them. Lucky for Markus, he grabbed ahold of a small edge of the wall as his sniping ledge was no more. He dropped from it, landing on the ground as he reached for his rifle and it lifted off the ground and flew into his hands, thanks to his magnetic gauntlets.

He knew he could continue to fire at Hayvan, and maybe he would tire him out as he reflected his blaster fire, but he could always call upon the force. He could always go close in with his shortblade, but he always prefered his guns. He had to choose fast...

 

[Cailst]

With a grenade coming towards him, Hayvan jumped into the air with force. It would preserve his fairly fragile body from being crushed or hurt by the force of the grenade. The jump also provided a slightly harder target to hit. While he was coming up to the apex of his jump, Hayvan threw an ion grenade down at Markus.

As he began his descent, Hayvan picked up a piece of rock with the force. Since he was not using the force for anything else at the moment, he could use all of his necessary force energy to use for telekinisis. With that rock, he sent it flying towards Markus's back to knock him out.

His lightsaber was not ignited but was in the hand that had just thrown the ion grenade a second or so earlier.

 

[Phil]

Markus saw the Grenade fly at him, as well as the rocks. He knew the Ion Grenade would most likely disrupt all of his guns and other equipment. He did what he could best do and do to his left to escape the blast, but wasent quick enough as several rocks hit him hard in his right leg and his abdomen. He managed to get away from the Grenade blast in time though as he looked towards the Jedi, reaching into his pouch for another item, pulling out seemingly another grenade. It was a Flash Grenade, one that would detonate on impact as he gently tossed it low to the ground towards Hayvan, covering his eyes the moment it detonated.

He would hope Hayvan would get cought in the blinding flash, giving Markus enough time to shoot him as he took aim when the flash was over, firing his rifle once more at Hayvan.

 

[Cailst]

As he neared the ground, he saw the greande coming to where he was landing. Since he didn't want to get crushed by the forces of the grenade, he moved the grenade with the force over to where Markus was. Then with his own arm, he threw another ion grenade at Markus.

As he was throwing the ion grenade, the flash of the flash grenade very temporarily blinded Hayvan. This caused Hayvan to search for Markus's force signature as he didn't know when he would be unblinded. The force signiture wouldn't be too hard to find as he was still living even if he was largely immune to the force.

While that was going on, Hayvan began walking backwards until he fully recongised Markus's signature or regained his sight.

 

[Phil]

It was unfortante that Markus had to leave his Armor back at his ship, but it also ment he could move a bit more freely. Using this advantage, he took a good leap backwards away from the Ion Grenade, but didnt notice the other grenade that Hayvan threw at him as it detonated near him, throwing the Mandalorian away from it as he was thrown a few feet away, his left side sore and felt like it was burning. His hand still grasped his rifle as he attempted to get back to his feet, struggling as he winced in pain. He leaned against a rock, taking aim at the still temporaty blind Jawa and fired a stream of bolts in his direction, not hesitating one bit.

 

[Cailst]

As Hayvan began to find the force signature, he then felt bolts piercing his robe and one of them hit his leg, not enough to stop it but enough to hurt for a bit before his smart pain drug kicked in.

At the same time, his sight came back, though it wasn't perfect, it was good enough and when that happened, he put his lightsaber up to block the incoming bolts. With his lightsaber up, Hayvan then picked up more of those rocks with the force and flung them at Markus.

 

[Phil]

Markus watched as Hayvan used his magic to hurl the rocks into the air and towards him. He stopped aiming at the Jawa and instead aimed at the slightly bigger rocks that would be more of a threat then the smaller ones. Sure the smaller ones would still hurt and most likely cut or bruise his skin where it showed, but those bigger rocks could knock him out if hit in the right spot.

As they hurled towards him, he took aim, and fired at each bigger rock, watching it shatter and fall to the ground as he straffed left, feeling the smaller ones hit him in. He felt the pain of them hitting him, but sucked it in, knowing it would pay off. He saw a slightly larger boulder nearby, and dove behind it, several more rocks hitting it and shattering. The Mandalorian had found cover, just in time, as his left arm was bleeding slightly. He leaned against the boulder, holding his rifle with his left hand as he took out his pistol, moving a little close to the edge, and blind fired in the direction he assumed Hayvan was at.

 

[Cailst]

As Markus was hiding behind the boulder, Hayvan then force pushed the boulder to keep going for a while.

Also he threw an ion grenade beyond the rock so as Markus would get pushed, he would be pushed into an ion grenade explosion.

Then while all of that was happening, several shots hit the ground near him and one hit his robe.

 

[Phil]

"So the Little guy wants to play it that way, eh?"

Markus muttered to himself, feeling his boulder get pushed foward as his feet also were pushed foward. He put the rifle back on his back, and dove out from the boulder, and he either missed or didnt even see the Ion grenade that was thrown at him as it went past him and to where he would have been if he stayed behind the boulder.

He was now running at full speed towards Hayvan, and he yanked his Vibroblade from his side, intent on fighting him in melee combat now. Though it was obvious that Markus was better with Firearms, he still had a couple unique sword tricks taught to him by General Aryas sometime ago.

 

[Cailst]

Seeing that Markus was coming right at him, Hayvan threw an ion grenade right at the ground and then force jumped into the air. By the time that it would explode, Hayvan would be at the apex of his jump and far enough away from the blast radius that he would be unhurt.

As he was going up, he pulled out his blaster pistol and shot a few shots at Markus. He had his other hand on his lightsaber being ready to use it once he arrived on the ground.

 

[Phil]

Hayvan seemed to have a healthy supply of Ion grenades, Markus thought, good thing he wasent a droid or a Cyborg. When he saw the Jedi leap away, throwing another grenade at him, he thought of hitting it away with his blade, but thought the hit would detonate it. So instead, he dodged the grenade by leaping to his right, rolling away from the grenade as he gained his footing again, spinning his blade around once as he made another running dash for Hayvan, taking a swing downward at him. This wouldent be easy, but atleast his blade would hold against a Lightsaber.

 

[Cailst]

When he began his plummet to the ground below, Hayvan then picked up the boulder with the force and put it right under him as he was about twenty feet from the ground.

Once he was fully on his boulder, Hayvan shot at Markus with the blaster pistol several times. Also, he had his light saber in his other hand to block any incoming shots.

While he was doing that, he moved his boulder a little further away from where it was so he could get a better shot.
