A man clad in the outfit of a spacing rouge strode around the city, as if he were window shopping. He glanced at all the bars down over the store windows, signifying that they were closed. A smile crossed over his lips as the camera focused in on him. Of course, all the cameras in the city were going to be focused on the fight, this was public entertainment was it not? He crossed his arms over his chest and winked at the camera, before yelling loudly.

"Is anyone here?"


The words echoed through the empty metropolis, of course not. The entire city was void of life, as they didn't want any civilian casualties during the fight honorable approach to a deathmatch, though a tad Ironic. The rubber soles of his boots made virtually no noise on most occasions, though each step sent a thunderous echo through the deserted city. A few moments passed and Saren found himself in the central park of the metropolis, a homage to the nature that had once overun the city, a brief glimpse of the world before man.

He was wearing what he usually did on his adventure, the leather duster concealing the majority of his figure. At his hip he had two slugthrowers, made of a Nickel Carbonate so as to prevent magnetism, each having 6 chambers. They were set up like revolvers, and needed to be reloaded manually after all 6 of the 45 caliber shots had been expelled. He had the cheapest personal blaster on the market in a shoulder holster, he knew it was prone to overheating but he had grown attached to it, having given the nickname Ole Faithful. A ceremonial Uchigatana*( See Bottom) was worn at his hip, a curved sword similar to a Katana in design. It had been custom forged for him a long time ago, and was imbued with the force via a process called Force Alchemy. It was done so that people would consider the blade Holy in the Dishoam Church, though it had the convenient side effect of being LightSaber resistant. On his back was a sword of a much uglier design, a broadsword. It, unlike its oriental brethren, had not been imbued with the force, and was very succeptable to being cut in half with a Jedi's lightsaber. It had been inexpensive to forge, so Saren minded not that he might loose in in the coming battle.

On his wrists he wore to wrist sheathes, each with two throwing knives in them. They too were coated in nickel, though the core of them were made with a steel polycarbonate for effectiveness. Hanging from his belt loop was his prized possession, a lightsaber he had taken possession of years before off of a dead Jedi. It has since then been customized so many ways that it barely resembled the weapon it had originally been. The blade had an orange hue to it, simply for aesthetic purposes. It also had a feature in it so that were the ignition switch of his blade only recognized his thumb print. It had taken years of research, and sometimes the blade wouldn't even recognize his thumb print. Saren hoped that wasn't the case today.

Finally, there was the latest edition to his wardrobe. As was the dishoam tradition, he also carried the lightsaber of his last opponent, Dimitreigh Ordo. Saren hadn't really liked the weight of the blades handle, and wans't a fan of a the blue hue of it's blade, but understood the practicality of having a second beam saber. Between matches he had implemented a archaic pressure sensitivity module in he saber ignition switch, making it so that the sabers ignition switch needed to be held down, with heat applied to it. This made it so that only warm blooded sentients were able to use the lightsaber, also making it so that Saren was unable to use saber thrown with either of his blades.

Saren grew tired of his walking, and sat down on a park bench in the center of the park. His legs crossed over, he began to meditate and think about the possible outcomes of the battle that he was about to partake in. Victory did not matter to him, he simply wished to bring glory to his order. For to long had his teachings gone un noticed, perhaps getting a few kills under his belt would inspire people to figure out just who the hell he was.

Vist sat on a building across from the man sitting on the park bench. He was about 300 meters away, and well hidden. It was the man's own fault for giving away his position so easily.

Vist crouched in the shadows of the hollowed out apartment building, holding his splinter rifle in one hand, his chemically treated body armor covered by his camouflage cloak.

He supposed that it would be fair to give his opponent a chance instead of blowing his brains out from 300 meters while he sat on a park bench.

Still, the man should've known the rules. Fight till you win, that's all.

Tapping the keys of the datapad he had plugged into the cities emergency broadcast system, Vist sent his opponent his welcome.

"Greetings Human."

A mechanical voice echoed around the buildings, as Vist typed.

"This is your opponent, Vist H'shista."

Vist grinned in the darkness, revealing his fangs.

"I hope that you will enjoy the contest."

Saren let out a soft sigh, apparently being in central Park meant there were no trees, making him a prime target for distance attacks. His opponent specified that it was dark out, so hopefully the fact that Saren was clad entirely in black would make him more difficult to find in the night? Saren’s player highly doubted it.

He stood slowly looking around to see if he had any knowledge of his opponents location, it seemed that he was far away. He must be facing some sort of master hacker, as he hacked the entire cities network mainframe for the shits and giggles of alerting Saren that he was visible.

“Bloody Hell.”


He spoke softly, before making a quick dash towards the wooded Area of Central Park. He hoped that the opponent would now be unable to see him, but somehow he doubted that was the case. Saren wondered what race his opponent was. Being a Native of Onderon, he had developed a bit of disdain for the alien races, and prefred only humans. His last opponent had been human, and Saren had almost regretted having to end his life. Were he not a heretic Saren might have even found a way to spare him. However if this new opponent was inhuman, Saren was going to show no mercy on it, whatever the hell it was.

He blinked twice, then glanced around, feeling the area around him with the force. He was searching for sentient life, and so far he was unable to find any. Chances were that wouldn’t last to long, regardless.

Vist's smile spread, revealing the rest of his teeth. It was like shooting a fish in a barrel. Or stepping on a mouse. Almost unsporting, but... still...

There would be honor enough later, when the tournament progressed. Getting knocked out in the first round would hardly be fitting, squeezing on finger on the firing stub, he felt the rifle kick, ever so slightly, as a bolt of green energy lanced out towards the running figure, followed by two more quickly after.

Vist lowered the gun to gauge the impact of the shots, and purred to himself.

This was too much fun.

Saren Volke heard the sound of gunshot, and a single word escaped his lips.

"Bollocks."

However, he sure was glad to be the leader of the Dishoam order right now. A tad dissapointed to need to use his force abilities so early on in the tournament, and even more upset that his future opponents would be able to replay the video when he was finished mopping the floor with whoever it was he was facing. The force he had been using to sense life disipated, and re formed at his legs. Using the abundant energy he leapt forward, barely dodging the first shot. He landed on his heel, and pivoted around so that he was facing the general direction of the shots trajectory.

Buzz, the sound of the blue hued lightsaber being ignited. In a matter of complete calmness, he sliced at the next incoming shot, sending it off at a 47 degree angle. A millisecond to think. He fell to his knees, lightsaber unigniting, and rolled backwards. A smoldering burn shot on the ground where the third and final shot from his opponents Splitter rifle.

" Could be worse, he could know how to aim."


He quickly rose to his feet, and using the same force technique as earlier, drowned his legs with the force. In a flash he was gone from view, safely under the cover of the trees, or so he assumed. He only had a moment to think, as he refused to hide like a coward for very long.

Vist grinned.

Then it would be an honorable fight. He fighting one with the force. And they were fighting a genius at his trade. Vist was a natural at what he did.

The darkness clouded the city, broken only by sporadic lamps on the streets. The scope showed nothing, the man was gone from the twilight.

No matter. Vist picked himself up from the floor, slipping the rifle into its shoulder holster and pulling out his grapnels. It was time for him to move to a new position. He was good at stalking, and good at waiting. His opponent would move eventually, and when he did, Vist would find him. He approached the blasted out window, and glanced along the dark streets. His eyes caught what humans would not, and grinned. The street was empty. To him, the world was still lit with a faint light, as his night-vision was better than any normal human's, but... the force could prove a real challenge.

Still, he wasn't worried. Not yet. Slipping the grapnels onto his hands, he reached up, and pulled himself out onto the outside wall, slipping along through the shadows, almost invisible, shrouded in his camouflage cloak. The material was a dull gray, like the walls around him. He left the datapad connected to the cities communication network. It would be amusing to see what his opponent made of it.

His feral grin was tempered only by the memory of his enemy's reflexes. They had been dangerously fast, and disturbingly accurate. This was going to be a real hunt, after all...

He reached the roof, and pulled himself up to it, before running and leaping to the building adjacent, where he settled down to wait. His opponent might have seen him, if he had unusually keen vision, but Vist doubted it. He was very good at moving unseen.

Saren had indeed been unable to see anything, as his opponent was using camouflage very well, no worries though. Saren sat down in the middle of the wooded area. His eyes closed, and he began to meditate.

Meditation, that's what it would look like to the common observer. However Saren was trying to detect life through the force. He had picked up the feelings of a few birds and squirrels, even a Gizka in a nearby pet store. However at the moment he seemed unable to get a track on where his opponet was.

"No worries."

Saren reached down to the black facemask he wore around his neck, and raised it up over his face and nose. In the dishoam order, this signified that he was ready for an assassination.

"Forgie me Lord, for I must use your gifts to save myself this day. May I wash away my sin with the blood of my enemies."

There was only one sure fire way to find where his enemy was at this point, and that was to run out into the open.

"Not yet Saren, Not yet. But... soon."

Saren was waiting for the force to tell him it was the right time.​

Vist settled into his position, watching around the park. He eased the rifle back out of the holster, and snapped off the scope. It wouldn't help against a target this fast when it was this dark out.

Lying prone, he watched the park, barely blinking as he felt his muscles relax. They'd move fast that way, and the rifle was set to its highest power now.

The jedi-thing would have to work awfully hard to block shots from it now...

Vist was patient, and he wondered if the other was as well...

A brief sigh escaped Sarens lips as he awoke from his meditation. He had managed to feel a presence somewhere in the distance, but it was much higher than he was.

" The bloody bastard is on a roof!"


Saren stood up, keeping his body and center of gravity low. He started to concentrate the majority of the force into his lower legs. If he was going to be able to do this, he was going to need to be fast. Really fast.

" I wonder..."

He had to deduce a viable way to leave this forest and find a more acceptable form of cover.

(sorry about lateish post, but I had choir concerts for the past three days and no interwebs at my house.)

Vist begin to twitch. This was annoying... His opponent was being gallingly timid... what was he thinking....

Vist fingered the rifle, casually, before making a decision.

Hooking one of the overloaded concussion grenades from his belt, he stood up, still veiled in the darkness, and hurled the explosive as far as he could, getting it a good hundred feet out, with the help of the several stories of height to increase the fall time.

He would time his move carefully, so his opponent wouldn't know what had happened.

Getting a running start, he backed up to the edge of the roof, and then leapt across to a nearby building, the small alleyway proving no challege at all. He didn't even have to go on all fours...

As he landed, he whipped out his grapple and set it in a crack in the concrete along the alleyway, and clipped his rope on. Grabbing the descent grips, he leapt from the building, falling freely towards the earth, using the grips to pace the fall so that he wouldn't go faster than he could stop.

The noise, was covered by the detonation of the grenade, one block away.

Vist landed with a soft thud, his ears still ringing, and concealed himself behind some trashbins, rifle ready. Time to see how his opponent reacted to him revealing his former position...

It was very unfortunate, what had happened. At the very moment his opponent revealed his former position, Saren sneezed. He missed the revealing action. A few moments later the grenade went off, and it completely distracted Saren.

Awaking completely from his meditation, he felt renewed. A gracious energy coursed through his body as he focused over at the grenade. Whilst it was distratcting, it was simply that. Saren felt no life over in that direction, of any kind.

" I need to find where he is. First, however, lets figure out where my more natural comanions are."

Using the force, he scanned the area directly around him. He felt the flow of energy radiating from the squirells and birds. How easy it would be to dominate their little minds. Alas, that was not his way. Pushing this energy outwards, he felt the larger animals in the vicinity. This was how he accidentally found his opponent.

He assumed it was a raccoon at first, this creature hiding by the trash cans a few blocks away. But it's midichlorian count was much to high to be an animal. Whilst it wasn't force sensitive, or human, it certainly didn't belong in the city.

" But I could have swore he was on the roofs. No matter."

Saren stalked closer towards the edge of the forest, keeping low to the ground. His blades were all sheathed, and he was still clad entirely in black. Whatever this thing was, Saren's best fight might actually be from a distance. God only knows how strong this thing is.

Vist saw flickers of movement amongst the brush... finally... movement...

His muscles relaxed as he lowered he prepared himself. While it would be pitch black to any human, he could still see with relative clarity.

Whatever came out of those woods was in for a surprise, that was for certain...

Waiting was part of the hunter's trade, and Vist was very good at what he did...

(Sorry, but Vist is just waiting you out at the moment. I'm assuming the forest section is pretty small, so Vist can cover the area that Saren is in...)

Saren let out a brief sigh. If he were able to find his opponent, their was a possibility that his opponent would be able to sense him as well. This made things all the more interesting.

"What do you do when your target targets you?"

Sarens hand fell to the ground and picked up a rock. He threw it out and rolled back and to his left, knowing he might have just gave away his position.

Vist waited, calmly, as the rock clattered on the ground. His opponent was testing him, and he wasn't about to take the bait. Not yet...

He licked his lips idly. No distractions would be tolerated, no itch or ill timed discomfort could be allowed to distract him.

His senses were all reaching their greatest heights now, but he wasn't tense.

When his opponent moved, he would be ready.

Saren let out the barest of sighs. Chances are his opponent new exactly where he was, which was rather unfortunate. When his opponent didn't fall for the rock thing, he did the only thing that was left.

He focused as much of the omnidirectional energy known as the force as he could into one spot, his legs. The muscles tightened, and the oxygen and his blood began to disolve. His adrenal gland was under the most direct control. Augmenting himself as muc as he could without actually wasting away his own body he stepped out of the bushed, into the open.

Vist sighted along the barrel and grinned, flicking the switch next to his thumb, and hearing the rifle hum as the rails began to gain charge.

It was called a splinter rifle for a reason, and though it had a blaster built in, it was primarily... a railgun.

Vist sighted on the target, waiting for maximum charge, before tightening his finger on the firing stud.

The gun roared, a metallic screeching as he held the firing stud and forced the gun to outpace its silencers. The clip of 50 metal shards was half empty by the time the charge ran out, and the gun began to recharge.

25 almost invisible rounds fired in less than 2 seconds. 25 jagged shards of steel, flying faster than the speed of sound...

Vist wasn't taking chances though.

The moment that the charge ran out, he released the weapon and caught his rope again, keying the friction grabs to lift him about ten feet up into the shadows, hoping the sound would be lost in the roar of the rifle, and the swarm of shards screaming towards the target, each producing a sonic boom.

He would hide, and if the Jedi-thing came to investigate his now obvious position, he might still manage a third ambush....
