Glacian's attempt to confuse Diamond was pretty successful but not totally.
Diamond using his instincts managed to block 3 of the swings at his annotomy but 2 managed to successfully hit him. The first hit his shoulder, the same shoulder that had been attacked earlier, which caused even more pain to him and the second hit was well placed and hit his left thigh. The shock of this landing knocked him to his knees but he soon after managed to stand up.
Deep down in his soul he knew he could beat Glacian but right now he was exhausted from his duel with Kari and Glacian was fresh into battle so Diamond knew his chances of winning were slim at the most. At that he deactivated his lightsaber....
"You win Glacian, I accept defeat this day. Next time we duel I assure you I will win."
Diamond, even though in pain, hobbled over to his friend and hugged him, whispering in his ear...
"You did well my friend. You tricked me and as a result managed to best me. Keep up your training on Form III and try to even learn the basics of Form V and you will be an even more formidable opponent than you are now..."
Diamond let go of Glacian and smiled at him affectionately...

Kari watched as the duel came to an end. She couldn't believe how different this duel was for the one she was in. Kari watched as Diamond walked over an hugged Glacian.
What is it with him and hugging people, Kari thought to herself.
Kari thought about the duel, how smooth their moves were, and how skilled they were. Kari thought it would be a good idea to learn more about these lightsaber styles, so that she would be able to learn one.
Good job you guys that was a great duel. Kari said to Diamond and Glacian.
Kari turned to Master Swex, Master how many lightsaber forms are there? Kari asked wanting to know more about them.

"Thank you for your compliment Diamond," Glacian said, "You are quite good too, and I will train to get better, with my styles, once i get better with these to I will go on to form V, I hope you keep up. I think we have a good friendly rivalry starting, we can push each other to get better.

VoLt189 Volt stared down at Zeth's hand and cocked an eyebrow, then reached out, grabed it, and then shook it. "I think I might have already found a worthy Apprentice... That is, if she would take me as a Master." He let go of Zeth's hand and turned to Ashandi, then said, "The choice is yours..." Ashandi, who had been looking politely at her feet like a good girl when adults were talking, looked up, startled. Her brown eyes widened until they were almost as big as dinnerplates. "Y-you want me to be your student?" she asked, suprised. Ashandi never would have guessed a master would have taken her on so soon. She quickly composed herself, trying to act much more official like. "I would be honored to be taught by you, Master Volt." She bowed, but felt like leaping for joy. She was grinning the entire time.

"Well then.....I wish you luck in your training"
Zeth bowed to Ashandi and smiled.
"Well....I must be on my way then"
Zeth turned his back and walked away from the two, alittle upset, but not as much as anyone would think. He chuckled at the situation and looked at the entrance to the temple. He exited the temple and made his way down the walk of shame as he would refer to it
"There's nothing for me here....I guess I'll stick with the Vibrosword for awhile."
As he made his way to the Furyan, R4 booped and bleeped gleefully when he saw Zeth return from A long absence
"Hello R4, I'm sorry I left you out here for so long. It seems I've been rejected by the Jedi, because there are no Masters who would train me. I guess I could train myself from what I saw Kari did.....she's kinda cute, y'know?"
R4 booped around jokingly, head spinning around fast like he would do when he cracked A joke. Zeth smiled and Laughed, the laid on the hood of the Furyan. He stared at the sky as millions of speeders zoomed by, the sun setting in the distance.

((Jacked! gonk I'm sorry, Zeth! Volt would have tooken you as a Padawan, but there's a plot in process! o.o))
Volt watched as Zeth walked away sensing his disappointment, but he had other matters to attend to right now. He quickly turned his attention to his knew Padawan and then crouched down to Ashandi's height and placed his right hand on her left shoulder, then said, "The honor is all mine, young Ashandi... We'll have to start immediately though. Before you ran into me, Master Sephiroth and I were speaking of a very important mission and I have to attend to it right-a-way. But I can't do it alone. I will need help from another... I need your help." He paused for a bit to smile, then continued. "Will you help me, Ashandi?"

"Kari I sense you wonder why I hug people after a training duel? Well Its simple...in real battle we fight to kill but in a training duel we fight to learn. I have seen some of my friends killed in combat and thats when you realise you lucky you are..."
Memories of his past started to flood his mind again and he looked around everyone, he knew he couldn't show any emotions so kept them under control.
"That is why I hug after a duel to show my admiration and to remind myself how lucky I am...."
He didn't expect Kari to understand but at least she knew now.

kari thought for a moment, she had never seen a friend, or anyone for that matter die in front of her before.
Well, Kari said in a low tone. I havn't seen anyone die before your right.
I understand what you mean though by this only being training, if this was real there would be alot more on the line. Kari said.
She now felt a little bad, she didn't know much about a lightsaber or how to use one. Kari quickly realised that she was depressing herself and look up at Diamond, changing the subject.
So what was that form you were using? I need to learn something like that. Kari said in an upbeat voice.

"I was using Form V, the agressive version of Form III. Its not commonly used and is mostly associated with Master Luke Skywalker and Lord Darth Vader. It was created by people who believed Form III was inadequate to win a duel.
I use it because its the most well balanced Form of saber combat."

"Nice duels, all of you did well. We can continue the training now, as before, state what you wish to learn. By that, we can judge your preffered ways, your attitude, and you learn some responsibility.
Kari, there are 7 saber forms... strong and slow, quick and weaker, medium, deflection, all is represented. 7 total, and "form 0", which is swinginign with a de-activated saber for training. I can go trough all 7, but you should also be able to find them in the library"

Diamond walked towards Master Swex slowly, still hurting from the injuries inflicted by Glacian.
"Yes Master, what will you have us do now?"
Diamond awaited eagerly for his master's reply...

Kari thought about what Master Swex said. When Kari got some free time she would have to look into the different forms, However now was a time for training. Kari turned to Master Swex.
Well, I would like to learn more about the force and how to use it. However anything you want to teach us is fine, I just want to learn as much as I can. Kari said to Master Swex is a joyfull voice.

"You will have to choose what to learn, diamond. That is the best way to develop.
Kari, I will teach you more about how to use the force then. As you noticed before, your concentration made the force flow trough you, make you capable of lifting the box. Now, we have to make sure you can do that with just a short moment of concentration instead of minutes, and eventually, while walking, concentrating at multiple things at the same time. Focus is the key, the more you focus on an object, the easier you can manipulate the force around it and use it as you want.
The more you practice this, the quicker you will focus, and stronger. You can manipulate the force more, and in different ways. Push, pull, electrocute... in the end, over a longer range. It all comes with practice, ambition, and concentration. We will practice your speed now. Walk down the hallway, there is a machine. It lowers iron targets on a magnet, they stay for a while before they go up in the ceilling again. Once one is gone, another will come down, and on, and on. But, the targets will dissapear quicker and quicker.
It's up to you to pull them off. Concentrate on a target and pull it off the magnet with the force. I will make sure the targets get back in the machine so we don't get out of them. You will have to focus enough quicker and quicker... the more you try, the more you can pull off, you will notice it.
Diamond, there are multiple pull ranges there, you can take one next to it if you want to. If you feel like your pull is strong enough, or managed to get all speed levels, you can turn the machine so you have to push them off. It shouldn't be a problem then, because your focus speed is high then and that's the same, the only difference between push and pull is how you manipulate the force. But that's not up to focus speed, just manipulation skill...."

Glacian spoke up, "My father once told me some of the secrets he used to help him with lifting or manipulating large, heavy or multiple object. He said that you have to remember one thing, the weight, size or number of objects shouldn't matter to someone using the force to move them. Because most people think of it as lifting it themselves, with their own strength through the force, so it seems like it's heavy. But in reallity, it's not you lifting the object, it's the force, and the force is infinite, so there is no limit to what you can lift. The only thing holding you back is your willpower and grip on the force that's lifting it, but he said the first step is realising that you aren't moving the object with your own energy, but the force's, and how much force you can summon is what matters, not how much strength you have. Does that sound right Master Swex?"

Yes Master, Kari said, then turning and walking to the machine.
Kari walked to the machine and began to concentrate. She focused on a key as it passed but was unable to pull it so quickly. However the second she was able to pull only slightly, less time to concentrate on the object made it harder to lift.
As the keys passed she was able to move some of them, but not alot. Over time she was finding she was able to lift them easier though not much more then when she started. She stood in silence, concentrating on the force........
