Elisa watched at Drake once again came in for an attack. She once again was sensing Drake with all her abilities, but she has yet to lay any emotional control over him. She did not want to invade his privacy that much just to win a sparring match. She took a deep breath before deactivating her lightsaber and stepping forward. This closed the distance between her and Drake quickly and she brought up one gauntlet and used it to deflect the lightsaber blow as she got even closer to Drake. Within a second she was right in front of Drake and her instincts told her to strike. She quickly brought her knee up into his groin and was ready to deflect his saber attacks with her gauntlets. She had not activated her lightsaber yet; feeling that she would only use it when the moment dictated its need.

Drake smirked when Elisa moved in close to him he noticed she turned her saber off probably using the guantlets instead. When she got right in front him he knew to attack he figured she had closed the gap for a reason so he would take advantage of her short sightness, she had even deactivated her saber, he continued through with his swing putting more strength into it to slam into her gauntles hopefully throwing her off balance with the force from it. He then turned his other saber around to stab her in the knee just for going for his groin. Even if she was swift at this distance she probably wasn't going to dodge both hits.

Elisa blocked Drake's heavy saber attack with her free hand gauntlet, but it had enough force behind it cause Elisa to stumble to the opposite side. However when he flipped his one saber around and when for Elisa knee, she seen her chance to use the saber. While keeping her free hand up to prevent Drake from using that hand to block Elisa pointed the tip of the saber into Drake's chest and activated it as his own saber went into her knee. As the close range that she was at, the saber easily reached Drake's chest even without her extending it. She was had taken advantage of the fact that the lightsaber could be turned off and on and felt quiet clever. If she had had the saber before coming as close as she was, she would not be able to maneuver the blade into that position without it be blocked by one of Drake's sabers. Elisa jaw clamped down as Drake’s saber went into her. “DAMNIT!” Elisa exclaimed as she brought her knee down with a nice burn mark on her leg.

Drake smirked when she activated her saber he laughed out of the pure joy of having fun in fight. He used his other saber which was still in a some what swing motion to do what she had done earlier and turned the saber around to stab her in the back as she stabbed him in the chest. Her close proximety had worked as a double edged sword (in an almost quite literal case) in that she probably wouldn't be able to do much to stop the saber going into her back now just as he couldn't stop the one going into his chest. He looked up at her with a playful smile "Wanna call it a draw?" he asked.

Elisa had grabbed Drake's wrist with her free hand as he tried to stab her in the back, keeping the gauntlet pressed against the saber to prevent him from trying and rotate it into her. She was not as strong as him, so his blade would eventually strike her, but she was able to buy enough time for her own strike to hit him first. Once her own saber went into his chest, she deactivated it and felt his saber start to enter her back. She looked into his eyes and could sense the joy he was feeling from the fight. "I don't think so; you are getting the water why I flop my ass down in that nice comfortable seat.”Elisa said with a smile as she moved to the side of the room. “I should thank you though, now I have an excuse to go cloths shopping." Elisa said to Drake as she sat down. She then removed the gauntlets and reached around her back and felt the hole and burn left by Drake's saber. She knew the match should be a draw; his blow would still have been fatal even after his own death. She figured she would take a breather for a minute before going and getting some water.

Drake laughed some when she told him that he had to go and get the water "Yeah well thats nice" he said as he pulled back his sabers and put them back on his belt "Oh thanks for yet again putting a hole in my shirt" he joked with her as he cracked his neck, he watched as she went to sit down and smirked to himself "Shouldn't the student being doing things for the teacher?" he asked her as he walked over to machine and got them some water he walked over to her and handed to her then sat down on the floor near his things. He drank some of his water "So, that was a pretty fun fight" he said laughing.

Elisa took the water Drake gave her with a smile "Thanks." Elisa said as she took a drink of water then looked at him as he talked about the fight. "Speak for yourself; I don't care for fighting or even sparring." Elisa said as she took another drink of water before trying to lean back. She hit her burn and instead leaned forward. She sat there and reflected on the fights. Each time she engaged Drake, she started out by moving. It was predictable behavior that could cause problems in a real fight. Moreover she had a tendency not to use the lightsaber, but fall back on hand to hand combat. That was the type of thing that could get her killed if her opponents saber was full power. The worst thing she learned however was her own willingness to take a hit to win. This caused her the most alarm, because if it was not training, most of the wounds she sustained could cause real problems.

Drake leaned forward when she said she didn't like to fight as much as he did "Its a aquired taste" he told her "Years of battle will do that to you, either you like it or hate yourself...or both" he said to her he closed his eyes for a moment and he could hear her concerns not that he felt them on purpose just a reaction. "You're movements weren't predictable" he said to her "Yeah you moved but, you don't want to just let some hit you, or try to lock sabers with them...take every advantage you can if you see the guy is chargin at you then move" he looked at her "It may have seen predictable with me cause we weren't fighting for real, in battle there's no time to think things through...use you instincts, thinking will only get you killed" he drank some of his water.
"When animals fight they go on their pure instincts, people are the same our base instincts is violence, the will the survive...use that. As far as learning techniques go" he laughed "Its bull shit, thats why I didn't show you any traditional styles...cause you won't think about that when you're trying to survive" he stood up and stretched though it hurt is back.

Jaylen moved around and leaned up against a nearby wall and watched the training match between Drake and Elisa. He watched hoping to learn some new tricks in his saber combat himself. Lightsaber combat was one of his other weaker points and it was definitely something he looked to work on while he was here.

Elisa looked at him. "Well, I hope I don't have to put that to the test." Elisa said leaning forward drinking her water. "But I well remember what you said and if you need a sparring partner, just ask. I don’t think the Old Man would be a good opponent.” Elisa finished her bottle of water and tossed it into the waste disposal which was a fairly good shot on her part. “However I think the New Guy is chomping at the bit to be taught a lesson also. I need a break anyways." Elisa said, finding a comfortable position to watch the fight.

Drake laughed some at what Elisa said about not putting that to the test "Well I hope you never have to" he told her as he cracked his neck, he finished up his water and set the bottle down looking over at the new guy "What do you mean?" he asked Elisa "I'm the teacher remember, I decide who's going to spar, now you get out there...you can use some work on your form" he joked with her.

Jaylen had sorta dazed off into his thoughts when he heard Drake and Elisa referring to him. "I could use a lesson or two." Jaylen said smiling as he stood up from his lean against the wall. "My saber combat definitely needs some work." He said stepping forward and removing the outer cloak of his robes to lighten himself up for the training. "So who will I be training with then?" Jaylen asked curiously.

((Sorry everyone but it's about time we get moving. Training will continue at Raxis Prime.))
Jor shrugged his in response to Matt. "His name rings a bell, but i didn't know him personally, no."
Jor went over to one of the benches and sat down. Taking off his helmet he looked over at Rita. "Go to the bridge and tell the Captain to set coarse for Raxis Prime."
Rita nodded her head and walked out, headed for the bridge. The captain had already moved the ship into position for an outbound vector from the Ilum system. Rita informed him of their destination and the Saucy Mare jumped to hyperspace.
