Xenodoros's training
DarkStar entered the training ground from the council chambre where he had just gained his latest apprentice. He moved into the centre of the training ground and folded his arms, waiting for his apprentice to arrive.

Exiting the Council Room, Xeno began to make his way towards the Training Grounds. Meeting his new Master, Xeno knew that Daegal had been a great Master, but Xeno had to look for a new Master.
Observing the training grounds where he had trained before, the young Xeno saw the Sith Lord DarkStar waiting for him at the center.
Observing the light around him, Xeno made his way towards DarkStar. Knowing that he would learn a lot from this Master, he looked directly at his Master and said:
"Ready to begin, Master."
The Stormriders

DarkStar glanced over Xenodoros, assessing him physically and his presence in the Force. He nodded slowly.
"Before I can continue your training I have to know how far your former master has taken you along the dark path,"
DarkStar unclipped Widowmaker from his belt and ignited it, there was a snap as the crimson blade appeared. It hummed gently in the still air of the training ground.
"Attack me, use every trick you know, try as hard as you can to kill me, I want to see your full skill to know where to take you next,"
DarkStar moved the lightsabre into a defencive stance, preparing himself mentally for the training sessions. He was getting old, they took more out of him everytime, mentally, physically and spiritually.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Xenodoros Stormrider on 08-10-2002 04:47 PM:
Listening to the words of his new Master, Xenodoros grinned maliciously. Xenodoros had gotten used to fighting. Observing DarkStar's lightsaber ignite, Xeno did the same.
The young man's cold, mysterious, blue eyes locked on to DarkStar, and began to concentrate on the Dark Side inside of him. Observing a small boulder, the size of Xeno's head, near DarkStar, Xeno immediately set one arm in front of him. Quickly, he moved the boulder, using the darkness that lurked inside of him.
The pain, fear, anger, and suffering that were in his memories helped him move the boulder quickly and throw it towards DarkStar.
Once he saw the boulder arriving near DarkStar, Xeno grabbed on to his lightsaber firmly and slashed towards him, feeling the DarkStar's lightsaber clash with his.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Drako on 08-10-2002 04:59 PM:
DarkStar clashed lightsabres with his apprentice, using his superior strength he back to push Xeno back. Sensing the rock flying for his head he summoned a smaller rock of his own. With his greater Force powers he could propell the rock with greater speed, as it struck the larger rock the laws of momentum took over and Xeno's rock was sent back the direction it had come.
All this happened in a fraction of a second and the ancient Sith Lord didn't even blink. He began to push his apprentice through the dirt, a small smirk touching the corners of his lips.
"Brawn will not win you this fight, you must you brains,"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Xenodoros Stormrider on 08-10-2002 05:13 PM:
Moving away from DarkStar, Xenodoros thought it was best that he backed away a little or the young apprentice would get hurt very early in the battle.
Once a few feet away from his Master, Xeno concentrated on the Dark Side of the Force once more. Dark childhood memories crawling into Xenodoros' mind, massive suffering memories ran through his blood and veins, the thought of pain drove him mad, and the anger would be released in this battle.
All of these dark thoughts clouded Xeno's heart and darkened his soul. Once he had this inside of him, the Dark Side reigned his body, and Xeno had begun to perform Force Speed.
Time seemed to stop, but it didn't. It was the Force Speed that created this illusion. In less than a nanosecond, he had arrived behind his Master with a hot sweat.
His lightsaber still at his hand, he tried to slash once more towards DarkStar's ribs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Drako on 08-10-2002 05:22 PM:
In a move that seemed almost effortless DarkStar turned and blocked the slash. Unlike Xeno, who's face was a mask of anger and hate, DarkStar's face was calm and completely at peace.
"Your thoughts betray you my young apprentice, and your hatred controls you, you must learn to control it or your moves will be rash and easily blocked."
DarkStar flicked his wrist, the result was to send Xeno's sabre upwards as the Sith Lord pushed it up. This left a gaping whole in both their defences, but the Force Vampyre had the advantage, he knew the result of his manuver.
With bone shattering force he brought his right knee up, directily in line with Xeno's rib cage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Xenodoros Stormrider on 08-10-2002 05:33 PM:
Distracted by the light saber in the air, Xeno got hit by his Master's knee, sending the apprentice to the floor. Xeno held his rib for a moment and saw the light saber still in the air.
Extending one arm in front of him, he motioned the light saber to go towards Xeno. Xeno was performing Force Pull. The darkness still lurked inside of him, and listened to DarkStar by staying a bit more calm than he was before.
Struggling to get his light saber down, Xeno pushed himself up, and ran towards his Master, and tackled him with force. Distracting him with this tackle, Xeno Force Pulled his light saber, as it landed on his hands.
He held it firmly and stood in a defensive position.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Drako on 08-12-2002 05:29 PM:
DarkStar concidered his apprentice for a moment, noting the calmness he seemed to posses, DarkStar intended to see how calm his apprentice could remain, for, whist obtaining the calm was important, keeping it was even more important.
"You pittiful fool, you stand there, in your defencive stance as if you think you can stand against me, if i wanted to crush you I could do it in an instant!"
DarkStar laughed evily, trying to goad his apprentice into a rash attack were DarkStar would demonstarate again, why calmness was issential.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You pittiful fool, you stand there, in your defencive stance as if you think you can stand against me, if i wanted to crush you I could do it in an instant!"
"Pittiful fool?", Xenodoros asked in an angered tone.
Approaching with his light saber on his right hand, Xenodoros held the lightsaber with both hands, holding it at a low position. Seeing an opening at DarkStar's left, Xeno swinged his light saber towards DarkStar's ankles and turned quickly to strike once more, aiming at DarkStar's chest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Drako on 08-14-2002 05:04 PM:
DarkStar parried the blow by reversing his lightsabre, turning it upside down. This gave him the leverage to pry Xeno's sabre upwards again, this time, instead of a knee he drove his shoulder into his apprentice's throat.
"Exellent my young apprentice, you didn't let your anger get thje better of you, you kept a clear head despite the taunts. Well done."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Xenodoros Stormrider on 08-15-2002 08:17 PM:
Pushing him away with force, he, again, kept his defensive stance.
"This isn't over, remember?"
His feet, spread apart, he approached DarkStar slowly and suddenly Xeno's mind clouded itself with dark thoughts. Anger, rage, suffering, pain zipped through his mind and his blood turned black as he moved with Force Speed once more, arriving behind DarkStar.
Once behind DarkStar, Xeno kept the Darkness that was running through his veins and used Force Push to push him a few feet away, causing DarkStar to stumble.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Drako on 08-17-2002 04:50 PM:
"You betray yourself, you will learn,"
Despite the fact that he was stumbling, the Sith Lord's voice was perfectly calm. Regaining his footing he spun round. He stood facing Xeno for a moment, then, without warning he attacked.
In olden times it was called a shield rush, crashing into his apprentice DarkStar used his sabre to lock with Xeno's, his inhuman strength baring his apprentice back suddenly and brutally.
Stepping on Xeno's right foot as he pushed the Sith Lord seemed aimed at ripping his apprentice's leg clean off.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Xenodoros Stormrider on 08-17-2002 11:51 PM:
Kicking the Sith Lord with his free foot, he let loose his other foot and backed away. Xeno's hair flew into his face, he blew it away with his mouth as he began to breathe hard.
Firm and stiff, he ran towards DarkStar attempted to punch him on his right cheek.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Drako on 08-24-2002 12:33 PM:
DarkStar's sabre arm came up, blocking the punch. Dropping Widowmaker he recalled it to his belt. Turning his hand he grabbed Xeno by the wrist and twisted the arm behind his back, following swiftly with a powerful kick aimed for Xeno's back.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Xenodoros Stormrider on 08-26-2002 07:18 PM:
Feeling the pressure on his back, Xeno gave out a slight scream. He felt DarkStar twisting his arm more and more. Xeno set his foot in front of him, lifting one foot up, following by the other. His head was upside down and his body followed the procedure.
This move was performed quickly; he had backflipped to free himself. Once he had freed himself from DarkStar, he landed on his knees and extended his arm as he threw it with Force towards DarkStar's ribs.
Xenodoros got up and backed away.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Drako on 09-02-2002 07:16 AM:
DarkStar dropped his arms in a cross, blocking the punch in the centre. Spinning off right, he brought his left hand round in a chop aimed at Xeno's kneck.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Xenodoros Stormrider on 09-02-2002 03:03 PM:
Feeling the chop on his neck clash directly, Xeno fell on the floor with his light saber at his side.
Xeno pushed himself up. Swirling his light saber, he attempted a downward slice at DarkStar, using the darkness inside of him to aid him.
Feeling DarkStar's light saber clash once more with his, Xeno got pushed once more towards the floor.
"I seem to keep falling.", Xeno said in a tired voice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Drako on 09-03-2002 05:00 PM:
"That you do my young apprentice,"
DarkStar suddenly stepped back and deactivated his sabre, he smiled gently.
"You are warn out, go, rest, I have all the information I need, I will begin your training proper when you are fully rested."
He bowed to Xeno and smiled again
"Well done, you faught well,"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Xenodoros Stormrider on 09-05-2002 10:24 AM:
Xeno pushed himself up with the last ounce of strength he had, and smiled at the words that the Sith Lord had told him. He bowed at the Sith Lord and said:
"It is an honor for me to hear that, Master. Thank you very much."
Xeno began to walk away, to end his day. Knowing that he could have done better, Xeno made his way towards the Headquarters to rest.
