Tournament Match: Farlan Sacafo vs. Aryas

[jediduncan]

The former General shifted in his new boots; Mandalore's armor was a bit strange for him, as it was lighter than his old armor. However, the scenery for this fight gave him a sense of safety; it was on planet Mandalore! In fact, Aryas had fought in this very arena many times as a youth. However, though the place was the same, the time certainly was not; that was back when Aryas was a much rawer Mandalorian than he was today, the polished epitome of Mandalorian ideals.

The rain splashed loudly against Mandalore's metallic armor as it fell, and various sounds could be heard from the animals in the forest surrounding them. He cracked his neck once, though the effect was lost in the noise surrounding them. All he could do was wait, wait for Sacafo to arrive. And when Sacafo did... well, let's just say a traditional Mandalorian rite would be enacted.

 

[Matt]

*Farlan walks into the arena with his blaster pistol in his hand...He walks to within a foot of Mandalore and salutes*

"I knew your predecesser well Mandalore...and he was a great man...and he spoke very highly of you...So you must be more then worthy to replace him..."

 

[jediduncan]

Mandalore salutes in turn, raising a gauntleted hand briefly to his forehead. It clanked loudly against his metallic helmet, but the veteran Mandalorian ignores it and presses onward.

"High praise, and I thank you for it my fellow Mandalorian. I've heard tell of you yourself, you know, and they are all good things. You should be proud of what you've done for the Mandalorians so far, and what you will no doubt accomplish in the future.

But let's tarry no more with words, eh? The fight's the thing, lad, and I wonder what terms you would have us do battle with?"

 

[Matt]

"Anything goes ok with you mandalore sir?"

 

[jediduncan]

Mandalore nods his helmeted head in return.

"As you would have it."

And with that, the Mandalorian pulls forth his weapons. In his left hand is a heavily upgraded Mandalorian Disintegrator, looking more like a large rifle than anything it has so many gadgets hooked on it. In his right he holds a hand-and-a-half sword, shining as brightly as metal can shine.

Without hesitation Mandalore slips into his custom form, holding his blade defensively. He slides his feet backwards and lets loose with a flurry of shots! Holding down the hair trigger, he lets the automatic fire do its work as no less than 10 shots fly wildly but swiftly towards Sacafo.

 

[Matt]

*Farlan looks at his pistol for a moment before throwing it into the corner....Meh...He wouldn't need it...this was his chance to test out this armour of his for real and what better test then against Mandalore...He hit his wrist firmly with his other hand and instanlty small plates of armour began to wrap themselevs around his body...From head to teo he was covered in a thin armour...*

*As the blaster bolts came towards him he stood there waiting for them to hit it...They did and it left ten scorch marks on plaes that farlan was glad did not hit...they would of probbaly ended the duel right away..He looekd up at Mandalore smiling ashe ran towards him...The entire arena booming with the sound and he looked like he was just going to run into mandalore head on*

 

[jediduncan]

Mandalore's surprise at the new development lasts only a half second; he had learned to be ready for anything in combat, as unexpected as this new development may be. So be it then.

The rumbling terror comes flying towards Mandalore, but the skilled leader was already prepared. At the last possible second, Mandalore sidesteps the monster with unearthly speed and grace for a man so armored as himself. As Farlan passes by, his momentum charging forward, Aryas attempts a strike at his back using his bastard sword. His strength, enhanced by stimulants, a belt, his armor, and his gauntlets, was unparalleled. If the blow landed, it would certainly be a good test of Farlan's armor's strength. That is, if the blow landed.

 

[Matt]

*As Farlan went screaming past Mandalore he felt the smash of a sword against his armour...It didn't do any physical damage but it kept him running forward at great speed...So fast that he went into the wall of the arena...He smashed though it making a large hole...He came out a second or two later smiling stilll*

"Mandalorian iron Mandalore..."


*He hit his chest with his hand as a dong was heard around the arena..He moved closer to him for a few moments before charging at him again this time much closer*

 

[jediduncan]

Mandalore simply holds his sword outward, pointing towards Farlan's gu; his sword was also made of Mandalorian Steel, and was of incredible quality. Mandalore braces himself, placing his feet back. His personal shields were on, and they would deflect some of the damage should Farlan hit him. His own armor was made out of Mandalorian Steel, and had been upgraded many times; that combined with his greatly enhanced strength and consitution would allow him to survive the attack.

With any luck, his insane strength would brace him, and Farlan would be impaled through the stomach with the sword.

 

[Matt]

*At the very last moment before Farlan would smash into the sword he ducked down moving under the blade..He was under the blade and was running towards mandalore's leg with just as much momentum as ever...*

 

[jediduncan]

It was too late to sidestep Farlan, as he was already too close. Mandalore formulates a plan instantly, and pulls his upperbody forward. He dives forward and lets his legs leave the ground. Farlan charges into his legs, sending them flying over the armored man, and sending Mandalore towards the ground behind Sacafo.

In a move with surprising agility for one of his size, Mandalore manages to stop his descent by putting his hands on the ground and flipping forward landing on his feet with his back turned to Sacafo. He winces a bit as his feet hit the ground; though he had avoided injuring his chest and head, his legs hurt like hell, and he was sure that the bones were at least bruised.

Turning quickly, Mandalore faces Farlan once more, blade ready, but legs in pain. He had stimulants in his armor that would numb the pain and promote healing almost immediately, but that wouldn't take effect for almost a minute.

 

[Matt]

*Farlan turned around as fast as he could which wasn't particular fast but he did it faster then most non armoured humans would....He needed to sotp the al or nothing charges and turned to using his formidable arms and legs as his main armaments...He took a massive step forward before putting out a massive punch towards mandalore's chest*

 

[jediduncan]

Mandalore uses his own formidable strength, batting the attack away with his sword. The strength required to bat that attack away bent his sword a bit, and put Mandalore a bit off-balance. However, he recovered quickly and sent a punch with his off-hand to Farlan's jaw.

 

[Matt]

*The punch hit Farlan's armour...It did no damage to farlan himself but he was sent backwards by the force of it...He fell to the ground with a massive thud that echoed around the arena...Farlan got to his feet and ran towards mandaore his massive arm streched back in an attempt to hit mandalore right between the.....Well whele his eyes would be*

 

[jediduncan]

'Would be' is the operative phrase; Farlan's attack was more than predictable, and Mandalore spun out of the way of the brutish attack. The wind from the bludgeoning attack rushed past his visor as a testament to Sacafo's strength, and a reminder to Aryas not to get comfortable.

Quick as a fox, Mandalore strikes at Sacafo's armored left thigh with his blade, then feints at his upper left shoulder before sending another piercing attack at Sacafo's ribs.

 

[Matt]

*Farlan was sent backwards by the blow agianst his body...these attacks were not doing any damage to farlan himself but were doing some to his armour...But they were wearing mandalore down slowly...He just had to keep this up and with that thought charged at mandalore agian Attempting to smash headlong into him*
