In for a break

[Zilfer]

"First one to fell a sith? Sword haven't you been doing that since you were Ten?" said Dice off-handily as if it was no big deal. Sword looked over to Dice and spoke one word confidently. "Six."

'Oh bother....' thought Coin as he sighed inwardly at this contest, the only thing he wanted to know where they were going to find a sith. "And were do you propose we find this army of sith hmmm? Planning an attack on the Empire are we?" asked Coin, and Ghost chimed in right afterward.

"I'll kill one sith for every one you kill," came Ghosts comment. Coin stared at the strange alien for a moment. "Think you can count that high?" asked Coin slyly.

"Who needs to count human," said Ghost taking out a staff with seemingly hundreds of cut marks in it. Coin made an 'ah' sort of face and dropped the topic turning back to Strings who seemingly was the one who had issued the challenge. "So whens this going to happen?"

[DarkSaber]

Ashley looked at Elifain Clone. "Well spotted Vod," she said. "However I suppose if I stay cuffed up that I'm not hurting anyone." She shrugged slightly.

Devon watched Elifain taught Rusade. "Doesn't look that hard," she said. She reached out and and used a mind trick to make a shadow clone of herself and the clone lasted for five minutes before it disappeared. "Eh not bad I guess," she said as she closed her eyes to clear her head and she concentrated.

[Darth Hades]

As Elifain explained the mechanism of the art of body, his ears carefully listened to every word, trying to understand. After explaining, elifain demonstrated by creating a shadow clone. The clone was an exact copy of Elfain, nothing was out of place. The clone's armor even looked exactly the same as Elifain's. The clone then bowed and began to walk up to Zuko and then passed through him.

The feeling was weird as he at first felt nothing then a tingling came down his spine. Elifain then continued to explain the effects it had on certain people. Then as Elifain finished, Devon created her own shadow clone. Rusade observed her clone, thinking to himself that he understood the general concept.

"A clone is just a form of mind trick." Rusade said speaking to himself as he made his first attempt at a shadow clone. A blurry cloud of varies colors started to form in front of him. Rusade tried to sculpt an image of himself but he when he was done the finishing result was nothing close to looking like him.

Zuko sighed and gave another try at it. His second attempt he felt like he concentrated more on the details and took longer creating the clone. But in the end the new clone was still imperfect. Rusade's clone's hair did not match his, his cloths was slightly different and was an inch shorter then the real Rusade. However the second clone was an improvement.

Zuko flustered for a moment and the clone dispersed. By this time Devon's clone also faded into the nothingness. 'The art of body is an advanced form of mind trick. You merely make your opponent see what you want them to see, by adding in the extra.' Elifain's words rang in his head. Zuko tried again. The clone began to form. As it took shape, it started to look more and more like Rusade.

After two minutes, Rusade make a perfect clone of himself. He made an attempt to make it walk but as it took its first step, it faded away. Zuko managed to make a clone but now it needed it hold its form for a longer period of time.

...

Jaz look at Ashley and said "Well looks like you're not off the hook yet." He stared into her eyes and said "Listen I got some business to take care off." He handed a communcator to her cuffed hands and. "Till next time." He said with a kiss on the forehead.

[Elifain]

Strings smirked. First time we find a sith, the games on. Until then, we wait.

Elifain watched as Rusade struggled to get the technique, at first, but ultimately succeeded to a degree. He nodded, as the man finished, as his clone dispersed in walking.
This technique requires a deal of concentration, but can effectively help you in situations. However, beware. It will not fool droids or cameras.
He took a step back, for a moment, thinking of what to show Rusade next. After a moment, he came to a decision.

Before I teach you any more of the kumori arts, I want you to try this. He closed his eyes, as he drew out his kumori blade, and held it out, flat. After a moment, he used telekinesis to get the air particles around the blade moving, faster and faster, until the blade seemed to spark into fire. As Elifain swung the blade down, though, he reversed the process, and the fire sputtered out, and the blade began to ice over. Finally, he sped the particles up enough to defrost the blade, but not spark a fire again, and sheathed his sword.

This is called combustion, and its opposite, freeze. It is done by moving the particles in the air fast enough to cause the friction to spark a fire, or to slow it down enough to cause it to freeze over. He looked to Rusade, and said, First, I want you to attempt the Combustion, before we move on to freeze.

[Darth Hades]

The art of the body did not work on droids and cameras. Rusade put that to memory as Elifain continued on with his lesson but took it in a different direction. Zuko watched as Elifain drew his sword, it was unique to those that practice the Kumori arts. Suddenly the weapon got on fire, setting Zuko in a stunned state. Elifain then reversed the blade then the fire died down as easy it came alive. What sent Rusade to a confused state of mind was when Elifain then froze the blade as it was frozen with ice.

"Wow." That was the only word Rusade could muster. He watched at awe as Elifain explain that he was able to do that was controlling the speed of which the air particles moved. Elfain then asked Rusade to try combustion. He pulled out his own sword which fairly large. He concentrated on his sword trying make his weapon to bust into flames. After a minutes the sword began to steam up as smoke started to spread through the room.

Getting a deep breathe, he found it difficult. But an idea struck. He put his hand over his swords and make a quick rub against, making friction. Focusing on that he managed the air particles to speed up which made the sword caught on fire. A smile appeared on Zuko's face. The fire wasn't as large as Elifain made but it was decent enough for a beginner.

[Elifain]

Elifain nodded to springs progress. He quickly looked around, and said, For now, We will stick with that. Practice those, and when you get it down, I will improve your grip of the kumori arts. Hopefully when there aren't so many onlookers. His eyes passed devon, Ashley, and Jaz.

He quickly looked to those on the hanger, before pulling out his communicator, and opening a line to the bridge.

Captain Telos, Set course for the Taris system. I have heard there was an assult going on there, while we were in the Kuat shipyards. Inform me before we exit Hyperspace.

He recieved a quick, Aye sir. As he replaced the communicator. A quick turn brought his attention to those in the hanger.

Those who wish to remain here, in the safety of the fleet, say so now, or forever hold your peace. I hold no intention of bringing cowards into a battle. He said, forcefully, Our target is Taris, and if my report is correct, the Imperial fleet will be there playing war with the civilians.... We can't allow that... While their is safety in numbers, boys and girls, there is honor in overwelming odds, and that is what we shall be gaining! His gaze passed by first, Rusade, and then the Talons, and Claws.
We'll leave word with mandalore, on our intention, however, first ones in, last ones out... He smirked, before assigning a single LAAT to take those who would not take part in the battle down to the planet.

[Zilfer]

Claw squad looked over to the intercom system and then shrugged. "Sounds like the captains finally tired of sitting around," said Dice. "I'm betting he's getting the itch...."

"The itch? I don't think I've ever seen the commander itch," said Ghost as he brought his skull mask back down over his face. Coin looked over to Ghost. "Not literally, she just means the urge to do battle. We call it the itch sometimes," responded Coin as he looked over to sword. Sword had crossed her arms and said nothing for the duration of the talk. He wondered what she was currently thinking.

"Well it's not like we'll see any action any time soon but we'll see. Taris.... sounds like a lame place to live." said Coin as he walked off to go clean his weapons. They were going to need to be in top shape for this next battle if they were really going into battle.

[Darth Hades]

Training was over but Elifain urged Zuko to continue in his own time and that was what he was planning on doing. Elifain then ordered Captain Telos to set course for the Taris system. Elifain gave a speech to the all in the hanger through his communicator requesting only the brave to battle to fight on Taris where it seem the Empire are terrorizing. Rusade was more then willing to dive into combat. Rusade then left Elifain's presence to his room to prepare for coming fight.

[Elifain]

ooc: Those who didn't reply their moves, *cough, ds's characters, and Jaz will be assumed to be on the ship, but I will not interact with them until I know for sure.

bic:

Elifain nodded, as those willing to leave left, and while the rest stayed. He quickly pulled his communicator out, again, and said, take theHellbound to Taris, Telos.

Moments later, the hellbound and its support craft, fighters and freighter class ships jummped out of system towards taris.
