Numa took Zeph's lightsaber when he gave it to her, and clipped it to her belt.

=Numa=
Ok, you both know the rules. Falling off the edge is an automatic loss. No using the Force to pull objects from outside into the square. No attacking when the opponent's back is turned. Any violation of the rules is an automatic loss for the rule breaker.

*Ghost didn't say another word all he did was take both 434 blasters and dropped them to the ground. He then reached behind him and grabbed his two lightsabers and dropped them beside his blasters. Last Ghost took his mask and placed it back onto his face though if anyone had been paying attention to Ghost they might have saw a change in him. His eyes would of lost all that humor and kindness that they once had in them and to some they would say they would looked almost lifeless. They might have been able to catch this before he had placed his mask back on but shortly after that he stepped up onto the raised platform and faced Zeph.

All he did was stand there as he looked at the boy he didn't even bother to go into a ready stance. Technically this was his ready stance because once his eyes went through that change there wasn't much left but a brutal monster most had come to know as Ghost.*

Your move.

[Queen Mother Shadow Fire]

Numa nodded as Zack disarmed himself. She watched him put a mask on, and she raised an eyebrow. Being Force Sensative, she could sense his emotions changing when he put the mask on.

[Jayden Fey]

*Jayden froze for a moment. He had recently sensed great joy from Zeph and now sensed a danger. He was about to be harmed. The Chief looked at Shadow with wonder.*

=Jayden Fey=
"Numa would has a good head on her right and wouldn't do something harmful right?"

*He said trying to figure out the quick shift in the force.*

============================================================

=Zeph Fey=
"Fair enough."

*Zeph said to Numa and brought his left arm up over turned and turned his body to face Ghost only on his left side. His right arm fell to his side and he balanced his weight on both feet.*

=Zeph Fey=
"Alright."

*Zeph said and ran forward. He leap right then came at Ghost with a side kick.*

[Queen Mother Shadow Fire]

=Shadow=
Numa wouldn't dare hurt Zeph, not unless he offended her. Most she would do is deck him, or slap him, or back hand him, or all three...

Shadow's voice trailed off, she sensed a shift in the Force.

=Shadow=
You feel it also?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Numa watched Zeph attack Zack.

[Drake Firestar]

=Dark Ghost=
*For a few more minutes Ghost just stood there as he waited fro Zeph to attack then once he finally came at him He just side stepped a little. He would then raise his left arm to try and catch Zeph's leg under his arm then after that he would drive his right elbow into his thigh. Should all this work Ghost would then let go of Zeph's leg quickly and spin around just to try and drive his left elbow into Zeph's face.

If all that would work Ghost would just step back for a bit as he would wait for Zeph to try and attack him again. If at any point Zeph was ab;e to stop his attacks Ghost would still just step back and wait for the next attack. To him there was no need to rush things he would make this duel go on for a long time as he just beat some sense into the kid.*

[Jayden Fey]

*Jayden smirked at her comment. Oh the Hapans sure were unique, his face turned to a frown as he nodded in agreement. He did feel something he did not like. *

=Jayden Fey=
"I have a feeling my hot headed son has gotten himself into trouble."

============================================================

*Zeph moved his hands in a circle motion and sent a force push at Ghost's arm to knock it away. He then fell to his knees to avoid the elbow to his face, just barely. Zeph then putting his weight on his hands sent to kick out Ghost's or "Zack's" legs. He then flipped himself backwards with his hands to hand on his feet. The lad then struck at Ghost with three jabs, left, right, left. The force was used to increase his speed the whole time.*

[Drake Firestar]

=Dark Ghost=
*Behind his mask Ghost was smiling as this kid seemed to not know how to fight hand to hand that or he had created a type of martial arts that involved the force. Either way this still seemed like child's play to Ghost. Even as the boy force pushed his arm Ghost used that momentum to send himself into a spin but jumped into the air at the same time.

This would cause his body to turn sideways a bit and so while Zeph was on his knees Ghost would bring his right foot down on the boy. even when if he got to it flipping away would cause him to be hit since it did involve having to move in the direction of Ghost's kick. Though it may seem impossible this wasn't even close to being impossible to dodge Ghost still wanted to play around some more before he actually began to try.

So this attack was simply meant to knock Zeph into the ground and if that worked Ghost would stand thee again at the ready. This was beginning to become fun and he hoped the kid had more tricks up his sleeve or else the fun might end a little to quickly.*

[Jayden Fey]

*As Ghost brought his foot down it struck Zeph on the top part of his back and caused the boy to fall over himself. He hit his mouth one of his knees, he had no idea which one and it brought something in his mouth to bleed. He tried his best to hide a moan of pain as he turned over and jumped up onto his feet. He enter the stance from before and spat blood from his mouth. Zeph was not getting angered and embarrassed to has Numa see him fail at an attack so badly and brought to bleed.

Zeph dipped down and then came at Ghost again. He punched forward punched forward at Ghost and when he fist got close he opened it and sent a force push at "Zack's" chest. The attack was not the best yet it did have some strength. You had to take the boy's age into consideration most people in their twenties did not have his skills. Yet still he seemed to be out matched by the mercenary.*

[Drake Firestar]

=Dark Ghost=
*At first Ghost tried knocking away Zeph's fist thinking he was going to try and hit him but then he opened his fist and sent out a force push. Though because he had attempted to move Zeph's attack aside the force push hit him right in the shoulder instead of the chest and this made Ghost stumble back. So the kid was actually able to land a hit on him that was more than he could say for most kids but he still relied heavily on the force.

The only reason Ghost didn't rely on the force was because anyone who has had experience using the force a lot during a fight would learn it tires you out faster than it would to just actually fight hand to hand. So in other words if Zeph kept this up he would tire out more quickly then Ghost would and so either way he would win the fight. Though Ghost was sure the kid would learn that soon enough because not even a master was capable of using the force a lot during a fight.

Ghost just began to chuckle as he he lunged forward at Zeph and as he did so he raised his right fist to go in for a punch. He then feinted and struck out low with his right leg to trip Zeph and send him falling to the ground. If that worked Ghost would send a force push down at the boy to make him hit the floor harder. After that if the pain made him temporarily immobilized Ghost would spin around and kick Zeph to send him rolling towards the arena's edge but not hard enough so that he would fall out.*

[Jayden Fey]

*Zeph smirked as his force push hit Ghost. Finally he had done something to the mercenary. His joy was short lived though as Ghost came at him with a punch. Zeph leaned back and shifted away to dodge the punch and was caught of guard as the real attack came in the form of a trip.

The lad falls to the ground at a strong force as Ghost backed up the trip with a force push. The wind was knocked out of his lungs as he landed then, as the kick came and hit him on his left side has gasped out in pain and was turned over. Zeph braced his hand up against the ground and stared at the floor. Pushing himself up he put his weight on his knees and looked over at Ghost with anger. How was he doing so poorly, he should be better then this.

Zeph rose up again, his movements were stiff and clearly showed he was in pain. He did not enter a stance this time he just stood up, he was partly leaning forward and grabbed his wrist. Lighting then started to form around his hand, a small ball of force energy started to become visible. Zeph had no plans to use this attack yet his anger and fear above all was leading his thought. The battle then become infused with lighting and Zeph tilted his head at Ghost and smirked. He then made a fist with his hand and punched the ground. A shock-wave of lighting flew from his right hand into the platform putting lighting through the area. Part of it even spilled out off of the platform it was a powerful attack yet was not something to be thrown around. Visible on Zeph's right hand now were burn marks. *

[Queen Mother Shadow Fire]

Numa was shocked, almost literally, when she saw Zeph use Force Lightning on Ghost. It was scary, yet it showed that Zeph was a boy who knew how to use both sides of the Force. The Lightning that spilled off the platform, Numa raised her right hand, and used Force Absorb, absorbing the excess Lightning. She felt much more energetic now.

[Jayden Fey]

*Jayden stiffed as he sensed Zeph in pain and using up a lot of force energy. He stood and spoke to Shadow.*

=Jayden Fey=
"I find to find Zeph, something is clearly wrong. I would check up on Numa as well."

*He said and heads towards the door.*

[Queen Mother Shadow Fire]

=Shadow=
I will check up on her, and she will be punished if I find that she is hurting Zeph.

Shadow spoke angrily as she left the room, waiting for Jayden to follow. Most people assumed she spoiled her daughter, but she didn't take anything from anyone.

[Drake Firestar]

=Dark Ghost=
*As soon as Ghost saw the build up of energy he started to use his battle precognition in order to get a glimpse of what was to come. What he saw only made him roll his eyes as he sure could get out of this attack but he was supposed to be bad at the force. So far the only force power he had used that anyone could tell that he had used was force push which was pretty basic.

This left him with only one option and that was to get hit by the attack instead of dodging it like he could have done. So when Zeph let out the attack Ghost stepped back in a look of surprise as he was shocked by the attack. His surprise was actually faked but yet no one would know and so he was legitimately electrocuted by the attack but only for a few seconds before it passed. Ghost then just shook his head and looked at the boy and he had to admit that was an impressive attack yet he was slightly angry at himself for letting such a weak thing get by him.*

An interesting attack that is but you must be feeling the strain the force is having on your body by now from using it so much.

[Jayden Fey]

*Jayden nods, and fulls Shadow.*

=Jayden Fey=
"I do not believe Numa is behind this in any way. I fear Zeph has harmed himself doing a technique he knows he can't handle."

*He said coldly.*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Zeph watched the attack hit Ghost and rolls his eyes as it seemed to do little in evening the odds. It did damage and seemed to surprise ghost yet took no real damage.*

=Zeph Fey=
"There is a lot more I can do!"

*Zeph spat out at Ghost. His hand was killed him and almost all of his body was sore. He stumbled back and raised his left hand up turned ready to take on Ghost's next attack. The boy's choice was now to go on the defensive for he no longer had the strength to attack. Yet being stubborn he would never give up.*

[Queen Mother Shadow Fire]

=Shadow=
Zack!

Shouted Shadow when she saw her new student attacking Zeph. She was furious, now she was rethinking letting him stay.

[Drake Firestar]

=Dark Ghost=
*Ghost was about to run and kick Zeph out of the arena for the win but then Shadow came in and of course was yelling at him for something Zeph had started. He just looked over at Shadow and he knew she couldn't see his face but he had a look on it which was saying what on earth are you thinking. Here was Ghost standing still smoking from being electrocuted by Zeph and yet HE was the one hurting him.

Somehow this all just didn't seem fair but yet he must now apologize for something he hadn't even started. So Ghost did the best he could to stand up straight and then painfully bow to the Queen before speaking.*

My apologies ma'am.

[Queen Mother Shadow Fire]

=Shadow=
Numa take care of Zeph, now! Zack, I don't care who started this, you were fighting the Chief of State's son! What were you thinking?

[Drake Firestar]

=Dark Ghost=
*Ghost stood up straight again but he did it a bit stiffly and it would seem that Zeph's last attack had caused him more pain then he had first thought. Though he looked over at Zeph for a moment as he let that information register in his mind. Zeph was the chief of state's son which meant he was someone important and so could be useful one day. he then looked back to the Queen as he was about to reply to her question.

I was honoring the boys challenge to a duel.

[Jayden Fey]

*Jayden came to stand next to Shadow and smacked himself in the forehead.*

=Jayden Fey=
"How the kriff did this happen?"


*Zeph gulped and looked over at his father. He knew that he was the one the challenged for the duel and it plus his injures fell upon him.*

=Zeph Fey=
"It was just a duel that got out of hand."


*Jayden looked over at Zeph and sighed. So he was the one that caused this, why was he not surprised?*

=Jayden Fey=
"You can example later."

*Jayden then turned to Shadow.*

=Jayden Fey=
"I am sorry for the issues caused by my sons foolishness. I assure you he does not realize how his actions can easily create issues."

[Queen Mother Shadow Fire]

=Numa=
C'mon Zeph.

Numa held out one of her hands so she could walk him to the Infirmary.


=Shadow=
It's teenage boy being teenage boy.

[Jayden Fey]

*Zeph hopped off of the platform and walked over to Numa. Even though him jumped off the platform hurt his sore body he didn't want to admit he was feeling pain.*

=Zeph Fey=
"It's really not that bad."


*Jayden nods to Shadow.*

=Jayden Fey=
"You are partly correct yet Zeph knows to not do something so foolish."

*He said looking over to Zeph who clearly heard him yet choice to say nothing. Jayden just assumed he was to embarrassed form the whole situation, which was correct.*

[Queen Mother Shadow Fire]

Numa whispered in Zeph's ear, so quiet that only he could hear.

=Numa=
Zeph dear, that is rather excellent bantha poodoo.

She knew that Zeph'd have to stay for awhile on Hapes so his body could heal properly. She was good with Force Healing, but it made her really sleepy, and she didn't want to risk screwing it up.

[Jayden Fey]

*Zeph shook his head at her. As they entered the hall and walk on Zeph all of a sudden fells light headed. He had only recently started to gain control of the technique he used against Ghost yet sense he was weak when he used it and it used a lot of energy he greatly over stressed his body. Zeph then stumbled for a second and then collapsed on the floor.*
