Temple Battle Yard
This is the Temples very large battle yard. Many jedi of all ranks and ages of here to spar, train, and expand their abilities in the art of lightsaber combat. It is about the same size as the large Meditation Room, so many people can spar or train inside at once. It is called the Battle Yard, because the temples Battlemaster oversees the entire complex along with the training of master-less padawan and the many younglings.

l l【Weapons Master】l l Huff! Huff! Huff!
The air around him was hot. HE was hot and sweat drenched his clothes causing the dark Jedi robes he wore to cling to his skin like like the spider leeches that lurk in the Undercity. It wasn't foreign to him, nor was it bothersome, in fact Axl welcomed the salty perspiration. It was a sign of hard work and good results to come. A stinging sensation in his left calf and caused his leg to spasm, the mild pain surging up his body. Damn trainer bolts, no matter how many times you are hit with them the still stung! With the big clumsy helmet he had on to block his vision it was all he could do to not swing his blade clumsily in the air.Disregarding the pain for a moment, Axl turned into himself, allowing the force to flow through him, letting it show him the world around him. All he could hear was the blood pumping in his head along with the beating of his heart and his shallow breaths. As he continued to concentrate other sounds began to fall into place. The hum of his trainer saber, the even softer hum of the repulsors that kept the small training droid aloft. Footsteps all around him, a bustle of motion. Sensing malicious intent Axl pivoted on his right foot; a grunt escaped his lips as the young Padawan swung his lightsaber's green blade in the direction of the previous attack, the sound of a deflected bolt and the automated sizzle of circuits bringing a triumphant smile to the young man's face.
Deactivating the prop he had been using, Axl pulled off his helmet and let it drop to the padded floor. Despite his four years of experience with a lightsaber he was still not used to its weight. Compared to the heavy, clumsy Beskad he was trained to use as a child, this elegant, cool, light weight weapon was like puddy in his hands. But he wouldn't let that stop him. He wouldn't give up no matter what others thought or even what he thought. He already placed the notion in his head that he would master this foreign weapon. He would command it as if it were his own squad. It would truly become an extension of himself. Looking back to the cylindrical piece of durasteel that housed the elegant energy blade, he took a deep breath and exhaled. It was time for more.
Gripping his bottled water with the Force, he pulled it to his hand and brought the straw to his lips, draining the bottle, letting the cool, clear liquid drain into his throat. It was very refreshing. Sending the orange bottle back to its place on a nearby bench, he picked up his training saber and began anew.

Marcus walked into the Battle Yard and caught a padawan rather on his own if one could say. Marcus himself only was walking by but decided to enter. He saw that the padawan didn't seem to have a master yet, abandon, or his master was killed in battle. All are common in this temple. "You have skills, I wonder why no master would take you..." he said as he opened his massive wings and seemed to be stretching them. He than walked over to the padawan and stopped and looked at him with a smile. "Your timing is off and your deflection is using more energy and motion than needed..." he said as he seemed to be rather interested in his padawan. To not have a define from and deflect bolts even if by sheer power was still amazing.
Marcus pulled his lightsaber-pike from his back and ignited the purple blade. "You have potential, but allow me to show you now to truly deflect and counter..." he said as he activated several floating blaster droid balls. He than closed his eyes and took the Sho Chi First Stance. "You must relax and feel the force..." he said as he began to spin and move his long lightsaber-pike around his body as it it was a part of him. As he did this is began to block small, yet many bolts shot from the droid bots. Suddenly there was a wide deflection which sent the droids stun bolts back at them. Causing the droids to fall and become disabled. "And once you have become skilled enough, a transition from From I to Form V is like taking a step...you don't have to think about it..." he said as he smiled at the padawan now.

l l【Padawan】l l【Jedi Order】l l 【Guardian】l l
l l【Weapons Master】l l Too light. He needed a heavier saber! Maybe even a larger one. The size and weight were beginning to frustrate him, and it was showing as his strokes betrayed his feelings through the sheer force of each swing and rather than flowing and letting the force use him and move him he was using and moving the force, forcing it into each slash and stroke. It felt good. After a few good swings however, Axl had begun to tire.
Someone, or rather someTHING had entered the Battle Yard as he felt a strong, powerful force presence enter the large room. Despite the power flowing from the individual though, it felt calming, soothing. Who was this he wondered...Deactivating his lightsaber, he removed his helmet and opened his eyes, shocked to see that a High Master had entered the Yard. He wondered which Padawan was his and slightly envied whoever it was. He had only had one Master, and that was a few years ago. He was killed in action however and no one had decided to take him under their wing, mostly because of his reputation of being rash and headstrong.
The large dragon-like Jedi began to speak. At first he thought it was to the Padawan whom was behind him. Looking behind him he realized that there was no one behind him. "Umm...They usually look at the seventeen year-old Mando and run." he answered, half jokingly. But it was true, many Jedi, despite the Mandalorian's 'change of heart' in the last century, still mistrusted the Mandalorians. "But..thank you Master Marcus." he said as the older Jedi opened his wings. They were so large and...grand. Listening intently to the Master Axl nodded his head as if taking mental notes of what Marcus was saying. Gazing in awe at the lightsaber-pike he watched as Marcus easily deflected the multiple bolts, flowing like water even with his huge body and lightsaber-pike. Looking down at his leg he blushed at the smolder where the practice bolt had hit him. "Yes Master Marcus." he said and nodded as he picked up his lightsaber again and activated the droids, closing his eyes.
Relaxing his shoulders, Axl took the first stance of Shii-Cho. Taking a deep breath and exhaling he felt the force flow strongly through him, as if he had just opened the flood gates of some great inner dam. Twisting and turning with his blade, Axl deflected the bolts back into the droids, deactivating them in a matter of seconds. Suddenly the lightsaber didn't feel as light, though it was still lighter than the Beskad his father owned, it still felt...right. It felt good!

Marcus smiled at the padawan as he seemed to understand him. "Maybe we should start with the basic slashes of Form I..." he said as still had his lightsaber-poke ignited. "You will perform the basic Cho-Si..." he said as he simply slashes his blade with little to no effort. "If you seek to use form one properly, you must learn it properly..." Marcus said as he seemed to be rather serious about that. "To forcefully use it will only harm yourself and those around you..." he said with a calm look on his face.
Marcus smiled at the padawan and seemed to be taking a liking to him. "You try, and let the blade be one with your arm, let it lead you not you leading it..." he said as he seemed to be very encouraging. "I will teach you Form I and I guess I can take another padawan..." he said as he seemed to have taken a fast liking to the young man. It seemed that Axl reminded him of one of his closest friends Jedi Knight Neo.
[[ Cho Si , Simple :: Rank E, This is the simple act of slashing ones blade at the opponent in a horizontal, vertical, or diagnal direction. It is one of the most commonly used attacks and the basic. ]]

l l【Weapons Master】l l Axl's eye twitched for a moment as what Marcus said. "Basic slashes...?" he said, almost in disbelief. Maybe lightsaber slashes were different than other bladed weaponry. He shook his head in slight annoyance, his black ponytail swaying back in forth. "Alright, lets do this then..." he said, his voice thick with mock enthusiasm. Igniting his green blade Axl took the stance and began to move his arm, but found that the relaxed state he had put himself in actually made it feel like he was holding air. The blade's hum zoomed and whoomed as he continued to slash. 'Horizontal. Vertical. Diagonal.' It was easy for him. It was quite similar to using a vibroblade or beskad in fact now that he had learned to properly wield his weapon.
After a few slashes Axl deactivated his lightsaber, a sharp hiss escaping from the metal tube as the green energy shot back into its container. "So...what is the point of that?" he asked. 'Mirsh'kyramud if you ask me...' he thought silently to himself.

Marcus smiled at the padawan as he than spun his lightsaber-pike around his body and than stop when the blade was pointed at the ground. "If you don't want to learn Sho-chi first, you can always learn a different style..." he said as he seemed to be smiling at the padawan. 'But you don't seem to understand that even basic slash have great uses in the right hands..." he said as he than pointed his blade at the padawan and eyes him. "Also the point is form, style, and keeping a open mind..." he said put notice in the work point. "If you can not keep those than you can never properly combat an individual of equal or greater power, that can lead to anger or frustration, which can lead to self destruction, which will lead to the dark side..."
Marcus however did pick up on the padawans silent spoke statement but the exact words or context, but he could feel the doubt the padawan had in his words. "If you do not believe me, attack me, I will slow you how powerful the basics are compared to someone simply swinging a blade about..." he said as he took Form I Open Stance. And seemed to be waiting for the padawan to come at him. "Well..?" he asked Axl with a sly smile.

Dark side, dark side, dark side. Eeeeeeverything was the Dark Side with the Jedi. The constant lecturing made him miss home even more. At least there he was trusted to make his own decisions. Here it seemed like everyone was warning him against using his feelings, some even warned against having feelings. Those were the creepy Jedi. But this was beside the point. Sighing heavily he looked at Master Marcus, sizing him up, assesing his chances of winning.
His race was not unknown to him as he had seen one or two leaving Keldabe for the inhospitable white desert during his few brief visits to Mandalore. But the sheer size of Marcus in itself was intimidating, combine that with a specialized weapon, years of training, and his Master status...His chances of winning anything against this beast was less than point-o-one percent. With a beskad, maybe point-o-two percent. It didn't matter, he would take the challenge head on. "Alright...we can play this game, ba'buir." he said, activating his lightsaber. 'Game time.' he thought to himself. Taking the stance he learned when he learned to use a beskad, Axl shortened his blade slightly and crouched down. Lunging into what seemed like Marcus' inside space he took a short slash, extending his training blade's length to its full length, mid-slash. {ooC: "his silent spoke" was a thought...}

Marcus smiled turned to a slight frown when the padawan attacked at him. "Naive..." he said as he pushed backwards. He than loved his blade to and performed the basic slash of Form I: Cho Se slashing his blade almost in a fluid motion at the padawans blade. When the two blades connected, Marcus moved planted his feet on the ground and stood his guard. "My a great swing, but again untrained if you are going to use a lightsaber..." he said as he seemed to be very serious about this. "Now it is my turn..." he said as he fully opened his large wings.
Marcus upon opening his wings, he suddenly began to push forward. The claws in his feet digging the ground with every step forward he took. "Again, is the Sho-Chi seem so boring now?" he asked the padawan with a now smile on his face feeling that he has proved more than enough that the basics are useful in given situations.

Air. He had cut nothing but air. From that point on things seemed to move in slow motion. It sucked. Bttzz! the sound of two colliding energy blades filled the room. The force of the blow in itself made Axl shudder,but when Marcus pushed, there was no way he could do anything to stop himself. No matter how hard he pushed up on his blade he wouldn't move. It was as if he was glued down! Cursing under his breath he deactivated his saber and pivoted on the ball of his right foot, using the force to push him to Marcus's flank.
This maneuver was used all the time, not just in his beskad training. This maneuver was also advanced and required finess which Axl just didn't have at the moment. Tripping for a moment, Axl re-activated his lightsaber and slashed again from high, right corner, cutting diagonally. More air however, as he had misjudged the distance he put between himself. The slash just made him look like a fool and he fell forward, landing on his face. "I almost had you..." he said, his voice muffled by the training room floor. Embarrassing...
Standing up again he activated his saber for one more assault. This time however, he took a moment to rearrange his feet and prepare,mentally as well as physically,taking the stance of Form:I. Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward and took one powerful downward slash. l l【Energy Pool: 225-[5]=220】l l

Marcus did not smile or laugh when the padawan fell. It was shameful enough for him to have done that. But what really did bother him a bit was that the padawan was unwilling to say that he was wrong. "Indeed you almost had me..." he said as he loosened the grip on his weapon a bit. Marcus was going to bat him away if that attack came close to show him a lesson that about being in the air against a beast man, who is an ace in the sky.
Marcus was than a bit shocked to see that Axl took a par of Form I and performed Cho Si and smiled. "Oh, glad to see you are getting it..." he said as he performed Form I: Cho Se again to block the downward blade slash. Marcus than jumped back and allowed the padawans blade to fall downward. And almost right in an instant, Marcus landed, retracted his weapon, then extended his lightsaber-pike thrusting it at the padawan's neck, performing Form I: Shiak. Marcus would stop the blade just before the padawan's neck . His glare was serious, "This is another simple and basic, but of a higher stage in Form I..." he said still had the blade pointed at the padawan's neck. "Do you still see Form I: Shii-Cho as useless and a waste of time padawan?" Marcus asked him, he wanted an answer, submission, or counter either one would give him an answer.

More air. His green blade arced downward, catching nothing but air, the soft hum of the blade chasing after the blade of light. "Haar'chak...", the Mandalorian curse spilled from his lips. He quickly tried to recover from his blunder but was cut short, for as he looked up, he saw the purple blade of the Lightsaber-Pike shoot forward, stopping right at his neck. Instinct took over and he stood up straight and fell back, tucking into a ball and rolling backwards,popping back up. Still the pike had been inches from his neck. To him, anything that was coming at his neck was a threat he took very seriously and was taught this at a very young age. "So the basics do have a use in actual combat." he said, his voice carrying just the slightest bit of shame. "So teach me." he said, his confidence returning, a fire lighting in his eye.
Master Marcus was a tactical genious, and an even better fighter. If he could learn from him, his progression might double in speed. Hopefully the young Master would accept him as his padawan. "I'm sorry for how rash I was." he added, scratching the back of his head in embarrasment.

Salik Jurrico[X] Jedi Master [X] Jedi Sentinel [X] Jedi Shadow [X]
“Power through Serenity: Victory through the force ”
Salik entered the battle yard, moving around the group that was already training and teaching. His time here was not exactly to be used on lightsaber combat, as it was to give him a chance to focus his mind and train mentally. The Order was comming to a very dangerous crossroads, and he needed to make sure that his mind was free from the cage the world wanted to put on him. Even still, he heard Kashish's words in his mind.
Finding himself a good and shaded spot, the Jedi Master began to allow his mind to expand, expand far beyond the reaches of both this world and the next. He began to feel the force, its Current, flow through him like river would a vessel. He felt the warmth, the cold, the good and the bad. The force was all things, every where. Salik himself followed the philosophy "tao that is called tao is not tao." The force was his tao....and was to vast or expansive for him to be able to singularly identify.
He felt his mind hit certain spots, certain hard points in his search, his expanse of the mind. These were no doubt the other masters, one of them being Marcus Rin...who was here training a student in the ways of the lightsaber. It was fun to see the almost dragon person out and about, seeing how such an intimidating person could interact, act, and become a Jedi in so many insistence. Eventaully, Salik knew he would join their ranks, but he would first have to pass the barrier of philosophies to do so.
Like his Master Kashish, Salik believed in the "living Force" not the biopolar spectrum that the jedi termed "light and dark." The Force was neutral, it was not a deity, it was not a God: It simply was. It Exists simply to exists, at a perfect harmonious point in time were everything meets perfect balance, and the many people who are sensitive to it were pulling and pushing it off its ever so delicate pillar. Salik didnt believe in the dark side of the force, but he did believe in the darkside of the Galaxy. One cannot be a jedi without acknowledging true evil.
Salik's mind then returned to his body, and he felt rejuvinated. There were not many times when his mediatations allowed him to do that. His mission of dealing with the Sith usually kept him focused on the task at hand, making him have to predict their every move, their every strike. But This new proposal in the Senate could drop the veil of the Darkside's tools so quickly that he could find himself on the Planet Furai again...because it could be safer then what Coruscant could become....

Marcus smiled and turned off the blade of his lightsaber-pike. "Yes the basic are indeed useful in battle..." he said as he lowered the pike away from the padawan's face. Marcus than proceed to walk up to the padawan and put a hand on his shoulder. "Indeed, I will teach you all that you want to know about the force and lightsaber combat..." he said as he smiled a bit.
He than heard the padawan apologize and only smiled. 'No need, I have a friend that still thinks very much like you and he is a Jedi Knight and General..." he said with a smile. "But I will have you now, I'm not a easy master and I don't think twice about giving punishment to those that take unnecessary risk..." Marcus warned the young padawan. "But risk that harbor tasteful fruit, is another matter..." he said with a sly smile on his face. "If you understand what I mean."

Salik Jurrico[X] Jedi Master [X] Jedi Sentinel [X] Jedi Shadow [X]
“Power through Serenity: Victory through the force ”
Salik found his mind clouding again, and figured it would be best for him to start his meditation again. The Force was so vast unexplanable, unlableable. No one could fully grasp the vastness of the Force, but that didnt stop the Jedi Shadow from trying. He would fully submerge himself in the Force, and the Force would set him free.
The Jedi had done some of his research, allowing himself to understand his opponent. It was an old Furian method, of knowing the prey so you can g where they are going to go, not keep following and hoping you were right. It made him a more effective hunter, and thus making him more effective at his job of a Jedi Shadow. "know thy enemy and know they self: you will be victorious in all battles yet to come."
These words provoked a small response in the Force, but the Furian didnt know from where. He wasn't a historian, but he was well versed in the philosophies of the Sith. In many instances, they wanted nothing more then what the Jedi wanted: peace and prosperity. But what happened was their lust for more, it never being good enough, them never being strong enough. The Jedi were devoid of attatchments while they seeked to obtain more in an effort to never lose. Both worked, but one clearly more then the other.
Feeling the Force flow through him, the Jedi continued to ponder the two philosophies. To Salik, the best answer was in the combination of the two. On Furia, he had killed several animals. He didnt do so with joy, or glee, or food, and he did cherish life in all of its forms. Its just on Furia, those things were animals with the instinct to kill, eat, and live. If you didnt kill them in defense, then they would kill and eat you. This was the same as his Jedi mission. The sith only knew one way....it seemed he would have to tame them.
The Jedi opened his eyes, and felt rejuivinated again. The Force was a marvoulious thing, and with the Grand Master's help he could see himself progressing and helping the galaxy find its balance and peace. Maybe the best of all worlds was to get rid of the Jedi, and the Sith. Make them go to a secluded area of the world, void and away from the citizens. But this didnt fit Salik or his philosophies. It had the Darkside written all over it. Fear was a powerful tool...
