Major Zaneak Loyalar stood in the medium sized room looking out the window to the lush green forests beyond. He was wearing his full battle armor, as usual, and had his massive katana strapped to his side. Normally of course he would carry it across his back when going into battle but when he was wearing it as more of a decoration he thought it looked better at his side.

Zaneak activated a hologram on the palm of his glove and reviewed the information there, Timothy Enfield, nicknamed Whitey because of the pale color of his skin, rodian, medium height, trained soldier and sniper. Well then, at least Zaneak could skipthe basics of shooting and cover. All that was left was to wait for private Enfield to arive.

Through the corridors, Timothy walked in a fast step. He was almost late to his meeting with Major Zaneak, who would be administrating his training. At the specified room's door, Timothy halted, took a deep breath under his armor, and hit twice his chest plates, trying to boost his confidence. Then, knocking twice on the door, he opened it and entered, saluting the Major by the window, looking the major in the face, through his helmet. "Sorry I'm late, Sir. Pirvate Enfield presents himself to training."

Putting down his hand, he spread his legs a bit, and positioned his arms behind his back, his hand holding each other in a very common military way. His sniper, on his back, wave a little at the sudden movements. On each leg, a blaster rested in the holster(sp?). On his ration bags, some energy bars and water waited to be of use. Extra clips and the special of his sniper were linned up on his back hip. He was was fully geared has if going to war...he liked to be ready for any emergency, just in case something breaks out...it was usual, back home, to start a clan battle out of the blue, so he learned how to always be ready, though all the equipment, specially the sniper, made him look even smaller.

Zaneak walked in a circle around Private Enfield and examined his gear and armor. Then he stopped in front of him and said, "At ease private. That is a fine sniper rifle you own, and your armor is custom I take it? But tell me, I don't see any melee weapons, how would you defend yourself if someone got too close to you?"

"Oh, yes sir." Timothy eased his stance, but not too much. "Yes, sir, me and my father customized it. It's scarcly two times or three times as powerful as the original." At the Major's question on melee weapons, Timothy blushed slightly. "Well, I have the blasters, but in any case, I'd rely on my speed and hand-to-hand combat to tire them, and once I'd find an opening, I'd infect them with one of my darts." Timothy reached to his ration sacks on his belt, and picked a yellow, one inch dart. "This one here paralyzes the victim. It's pretty effective, since only 7 to 9% of known sentient beings can resiste it. Though, some show high resistance, despite not being in the said list..." Timothy blushed inside of his helmet. Now that he thought of it, his darts would be little effective against armor, or in case his opponent was resistant...

Zaneak chuckled slightly, "Well we will need to rectify that won't we?" He drew his katana, "This is my pride and joy, a custom made katana of the highest grade alloy, alchemized to resist lightsaber damage and to never lose it's edge. If you pass my class then I will have one made for you. First however I will teach you to use one." Zaneak went over to a cabinet and witdrew another katana, this one was a basic metal sword with no decorations at all. He then took out two rubber strips which he fastened over the blades. "There, now we won't cut eachother's armor up." Zaneak threw Enfield the katana and raised his own in a warriors salute then brought it down to his side. "The sword is the most viceral of all weapons, if one can kill with the sword one can kill with anything. A match of skill with blades is the true measure of a warrior. Blasters mean nothing if you cannot back that up with the grace and speed of bladed combat. Now are you ready to begin?"

Timothy watched closely as the Major showed him his own katana, then as he threw him another, with a rubber band. He reached up to catch it, and after it rebounced off his hands twice, he finally grasped it with both hands. He had never used a bladed object, save for knives, so this might be trickier then he thought. He knew, however, basic concepts, so he put down with gentleness his sniper on a table, along with his blasters, and ration bags. He would have nothing to burden him further then his lack of skill. "I'm ready sir." He positioned his katana, with a 45º angle to his torso, straight in front of him.

Zaneak nodded, he would go easy on the kid of course, he could tell he had no training by the way he held his blade. Zaneak swung sideways at Timothy at half his normal speed to test Enfields reflexes and grip. Even though it was slow the blow would be very strong. Zaneak was hoping the kid would be a natural, it took years of discipline for a normal person to master the sword, but a natural seemed to be able to do it in weeks, Zaneak was a natural.

Timothy seen the Major coming, and quickly raised his blade to parry the strike, but it was too strong for a first strike, and he fall back. He got to his feet quickly...he wasn't used to blades, but he now was ready for the next strike. He raised his blade again, this time next to his right side of the face,while his feet were spread. His stance could be confused with that of a pro; indeed, he was using a position he had seen one of his army comrades do on a battle. He had a slight idea of what to do next, but wasn't sure if he could do it properly. Nevertheless, he would do his best.

OOC: Why the topic name, by the way? Lol...

((Both our character's are warriors and warriors are a "Breed Apart" from everyone else. It is something I read in a book.))

Zaneak saw Enfield take the Bukuki stance and was surprised for a split second, untill he saw the many flaws in it, ahh, it seems he had seen someone used it and was now attempting it. Zaneak came in with a slow diagonal slash, from the top right to the bottom left of Timothy's body.

The attack was a easy parry from that stance...all Timothy had to do was a horizontal parry above his head. He then used the chance to perform a bold move; positioning his blade vertically, he swung it down towards the Major's head, and ultimatly his stomach, though due to the rubber parts it would not go past his helmet.

Zaneak grinned at his studetns boldness and swiped his blade up and over Enfileds, pinning it to the ground. "That was a bold move private, I like that." Zaneak let Enfield's blade go and fell back into the chitusi stance, "Come on."

Still with his blade down, Timothy moved the blade's edge up. He liked bold...but if he kept bold, he'd get burned. So he ran towards the Major, with his blade by his left side, edge up, then swung it violently towards the upper body, in an arc, with plenty of speed and strenght into it.

Zaneak easily sidestepped the wide blow and parried it to the side, "You're blows are too wide, you need clean.....consice......slashes." Zaneak emphazied each word with a quick and short slash with his katana, "Now you try."

Each blow was parried by Timothy's katana, as he heard the Major speaking...he wanted fast...that'd be easy, he was good at being fast and clean. So, leveling his katana to his waist, Timothy attempted a slash to the Major's mid-torso, but took it out fast so he could reply to counter attack.

Zaneak lightly flicked the blade to one side and nodded as Timothy withdrew it as quick as he had brought it in. "Good, remeber to never leave your blade out were an opponent can catch it or spin it. Now, I will try to stab you and I want you to knock my blade out of my hand however you can." Zaneak followed this by aiming a relativly slow stab at Timothy's chest.

Seeing the stab come, he positioned himself in a position one might relate with the initial stance of Soseru, but with both hands on the hilt, and went to pierce the Major's hand, in an attempt to disarm him. It was a modest thrust, not much speed and strenght to what the Major was able to do, as it seemed he was playing with him.

Zaneak saw the stab coming and didn't even attempt to block it with his blade, instead he simply slammed it aside with his gauntleted hand. "Come on private, you will need to do better then that. Tell me, what makes you angry?"

Timothy put some thought into it...he was of an agressive natured race, but he always trained himself to keep his focus, lest he'd waist snipping oportunities. But now that he thought...a missed bullet was always angering, though it did not happen for many years now...only in rare ocasions. "A missed bullet at 500 meters, sir."

Zaneak nodded, it would be hard to work with but he would try. "Allright then, imagine that you just missed a shot at three hundred meters by a good margin, and I was the one that made you miss that. Now that you are imagining that, try to get my sword out of my hand." Zaneak followed this up with another stab, this one faster and stronger then the previous one.

Timothy closed his eyes as he listened to the Major...he was about to take the shot, easy peasy, 300 meters...but someone kicked is sniper, and he missed by at least 500 meters...the rage within, that he always kept under tight leash, curled, waved, crawled...burnt! Opening his eyes, he saw the Major's katana comming, faster and stronger, but he didn't care. "MOTHERF*CKER!" Yelling, with one swift move, he bashed his katana against the Major's, as fast and strong as he could, then got ready to strike again, this time, he swung to strike the handle of the blade.
