Lulu looks down and sees that the blade is indeed much longer than it feels and makes a mental note to be careful with it. As the droid approaches, she gets into a defensive position.
"Here we go..."
Holding the blade out in front of her, Lulu uses the movements that Master Alron taught her to make the first attack on the droid. When her attack is blocked, it is rebounded off of the droid's training saber and onto her leg, giving her a small shock.
I need to be more careful, I can't make that mistake again.
Attacking again, she gets a hit in, but her next attack is blocked. She makes sure not to let her training blade get too close to her and does not let it bounce back at her from blocked attacks. She starts moving faster and focuses on attacking and blocking more accurately.

"good to see you are improving quickly, but do not let succes blind you.
The weakness of these droids is that they cannot jump, try to flip over and hit the undefended back before he can turn around"
Meanwhile, Alron is heavily jumping around the droid attacking him, using the 4th form of saber combat, based on speed. The form 7 the droid uses has strong, unpredictable moves, Alron needs to be very carefull. Jump over, slas, duck, roll, slash again, the droid must not be given the opportunity to take the attacking role in this clash. The fight is equal for a long time, Alron has to find a way to take the advantage before he gets tired... droids do not have that problem

*Jani threw on his dark brown cloak and headed through the temple, he came up on Master Alron training with his student. Not wanting to interupt he watched carefully as they practiced with lightsabers.*

A simple but effective plan shoots into Alrons mind; droids, no matter how well programmed, still follow pre-set attack plans and reactions to opponents moves.. and therefor are not good at improvising in case of fake attacks..
Alron evades one of the strikes made by the droid by preforming a side roll, then makes a one-handed flip-up with a turning slash in flight, around knee-height for the droid. The droid makes a move to stop the attack on his knee, meanwhile Alron activates force speed and makes a 1/2-salto in flight long before hitting the droids saber.
Alrons saber, now in front of the droids face, quickly swings forward making it impossible for the droid to calculate a solution for the new situation. Continuing the flip over the droid, Alron lands back on his feet behind his opponent, and turns around in time to see the de-headed piece of iron hit the Korriban sand.
"Always find out and exploit your opponents weakness... even the best can be defeated that way..."

"Yes, master."
It looked like Lulu and the droid were spinning in circles battling. She kept trying to get behind it from the sides, but she couldn't quite get around it like that. She had to get over the droid somehow.
Lulu thought back to her days on Ryloth, when she was younger. She used to dance and play in the garden of her family's manor. The spinning battle with the droid brought back thoose memories. She remembered her dance lessons, and learning how to do flips. Had she lost her touch? She had seen jedis do such things in battle. Snapping out of her memory by blocking a hit from the droid, she thought,
Might as well try it.
She side-steps an attack from the droid, leaps up and flips forward, training saber held out in the direction of the droid, and quickly attacks from behind it.

"good, you expoited the unability of the droid to jump away from an attack from behind, for which turning around would take him too long. There are many other ways to defeat the droids, and all species have their weaknesses... Humans do not have the most perfect reaction speed, quick direction changes for example can be very effective. But do remember that you have weaknesses too, find yours, and try to cover them as much as possible...but the caution on weaknesses should not make you slower, and too cautious... that way you might take away the effect of your moves and create a new weakness, worse then the older one..
It is a balance of things that you need to find and perfectionate; a balance of speed, caution, suprise, strenght, defense, attack, force...and many more. The 7 forms are basically guidelines, No 2 jedi fight exactly the same. Form 3 is a guideline for blaster deflection, form 2 for gracious, strong saber fights, form 6 for diplomatic, force based combat... but everyone gives the style a different twist that fits his or her personality best... the balance every jedi needs to give to his or her combat....Meditate about it, try to find yours."
Alron himself sits down on the rock again, and goes back into meditation. He will give Lulu some time to reflect what she did today...to find out how little he tought her, and how much moves she found out herself...only some basic things about combat had to be told... but that was the best way of teaching. Less theory, more finding out yourself....

The YT-2400 dropped out of hyperspace over Korriban, inbound for the Jedi's hidden village. As it broke through the planet's atmosphere, Sephiroth guilded the ship across the sandy surface towards the village. As the Imperials seemed pre-occupied in Tatooine, Sephiroth assumed it would be safe to leave the ship next to the village for now.
The passed over the village, and slowly lowered to the ground, blowing sand everywhere. Sephiroth pushed the loading ramp open with the Force, stepped out, then walked the few metres from the ship to the village. He was not glad to be back at all.

All the childeren gathered at the front gate of the village just bellow the main tower as the six o'clock shadow passed over them making a cool spot. Katri made his way through the crowd of younglings to see what all the hubub was about, surly a bustle this big marits some sort of occasion. Taking close watch to not bump or shove any other of the younglings he quickened his pace to the front and turned to one of the kids with a hopeful face.
"Whats going on?"He asked the young one.
"A jedi master has arrived"The boy said still in awe, "he is picking a padawan soon and i want to be the one to train under him."
Katri ignored him for his want covered over the need of the situation. What needed to happen was a path for this master that everyone was eager to see. So Katri quietly used the force to push aside the children like parting the red seas.
"If someone has the oppertunity to take action, they have the responsibility to take action",rang in his head, words from a historical jedi. Qui Gon Jinn.

Sephiroth walked through the path, now opened to him, through the young Jedi hopefuls, smiling to them as he went past.
Hello.
She said cheerily to them, walking all the way past them, saying nothing more. He urgently had to speak to Yoda. As he approached the Jedi Master sitting on the rock, Sephiroth bowed to him.
Yes, Master. I have witnessed the Imperial's control first hand. Their control over Tatooine was rutheless. However, it would seem that they have run into some trouble, as I witnessed one of their captial ships suffer a massive blow.
((Sorry Maniac. I dunno what to reply xp ))

Bowing she says, "Thank you, Master Alron, I will do that. I am very grateful for your guidance and wisdom, and hope to continue training with you soon."
Lulu turns to walk to her hut, happy that she has been able to train again. She looks up at the hazy sky and thinks,
One day I'll be able to return to the planet that I love.
She enters her hut, removes her robe and sits down on her bed to meditate about her combat style. Closing her eyes she thinks,
My weakness is strength, and my strong points are speed and agility. I am better at defense than offence. I should work on my attacks, and use manuevering to my advantage.
A slight smile grows on her face,
Those dance lessons may come in handy.

(been away a long time)...Ray walked from the sands...his jedi robes torn and battered, they bore holes(from blasters) in them, and his hair filled and covered with sand...he had no navigator with him when he walked back towards the huts...he stumbled every other step and slowly looked around at the somewhat familiar place...he did not even know himself anymore...not even his own name...he was muttering something under his breath insanely..."imperials...imperials...imperials..."he walked into the middle of the huts and saw a gathering of people and one retreating into their hut...he walked ever so slowly tords them...almost like he was possessed...

"hmm..as predicted... did jedi die on tatooine?"
Yodas reply was short, if jedi died it would be the proof, else, they couldn't trust the datapad. Yoda didn't move, didn't look, he just waited
He knew the imperials couldn't be trusted, he new their ways were wrong, but how wrong had they been on tatooine...
((Leni, are you sure a jedi master is gonna choose a padawan? which one, none announced it I believe... at least not seph, Mr.M or I... sweatdrop ))

Sephiroth shook his head and sighed deeply.
I cannot be certain. Obviously I survived, but I got seperated from Brood. Our mission was to retrieve the corpse of a Jedi, but this was known about before the Imperial control. We were unable to complete our objective.....
Sephiroth looked down sadly for a few moments, not saying anything. He was trying to think of one good thing that happened on their journey. He looked suddenly and smiled at Yoda.
However, I do have some good news. While we were in Mos Espa, we ran into both Master Vegilla and Master Trace. Though we all got seperated, atleast we know that there are other Jedi out there.
