The sound of metal stricking against metal was heard in the darkness of the halls. Sclicing movements whooshed threw the air as a few hall lights flickered. It was very early in the morning of a Saturday and assiding from a few beings awake there was no one else up. Sleeping off perhaps their drunken stupor or off the base somewhere else.


CLANG!!!!


Again the metalic sound broke the erie silence. The time was about 0430 and there should have been no one in the training room. Yet there was one person who took their training to the max. Never edging out a day to sleep in unless sedated.


Saphira launched herself into an acrobatic display. The ends of her hands fanning  a long vibro blade as she came down swinging them across a metalic  dummy. The dummy, about 5 meters tall was laced with cuts and rough grooves from other practice sessions. Sparks flew in the air as  she drew them in and back. Silver eyes concentrated on the movements. The Twi'lik rotated back into a spin. Light on her feet as her red skin glistend with small beads of sweat from her workout. The eccentic swirls of black that also patternd her body only aided to her deadly nature.


Wearing tight silver shorts and sports bra it almost seemed to be a second skin as she moved light on her feet witht he black sneakers. One of the rairest times she wore them and normaly only for training.  Her Lekku  drapped back over her right shoulder, twitching with what could be amusement and or annoyance that she had nothng real to do battle.



She sighed, striking th blades pointed down to the floor before she launched herself into a spin and ran at the dummy. Launching herself up she bent her knees and pushed. Twistign her body as she spin kicked  into it. Her right foot impacting the target asshe swung both arms to strike at the the dummy's  " Head ". Her foot impacting to lower side as once again sparks flew.....

Saph landed into a crouch, blades pointed out before she stood. A few drops of sweat beaded down her legs and vanished into her shoes. Licking her lips she felt the prying eyes of someone watching her. Instant reaction took her back to the one other squad member who had died only weeks before.

Jersh is dead.. get over it..

She thought to herself, straightening her back as a few vertebra popped. The releasing pressure felt good as she snaked her head over the door to look at what she knew was the newest member of Eclipse. The man was much taller then herself. Brown eyes looked back at her and she could feel that look. The one that many males before gave to something that looked good enough to eat. Her own eyes soaked him up. Saph could tell he was well toned.


"Keep staring like that and you'll loose your eyesight.." She stated bluntly. Flipping her wrists up as the blades caught the light and flashed back at him as she stood in a tense and readied position. A look of challenge in her eyes.

"I know your the new one.. what do you want?"

Oh please... Spare me...


She thought to herself and vowed she was going to find out who told him of this specific training room that she was normaly found at.

Bet you Wicket said something..


Placing the thought in the back of her midn she could tell he was being choicy with his words. Knowing well on that he was saying a  few things with  very few words.


"Of course you would know who I am. Most of the new ones are informed on their steps here to not make it a point to cross my path..."


Words stinging like cold durasteel she swung her right arm up. The blade stopping just below his chin. Resting there for a moment.


"You would be wise to phrase things diffrently."

Her eyes flashed as she pressed the blade a tad closer piercing his skin. A small line of blood pressed out. Drawing a line down the blade until it became to heavy and fell to the floor.  The warnig clear...

Only rage was shown. Shown from her eyes as she rolled up into a crouch. It looked as if she wasn't even bothered by what he had done to her. Yet his comment only made her more pissy.

"Who said I was even a good soldier. I was never one to stay in line."

Saph snapped back with distaste. She still had one blade in her left hand.


"You best go to medical for that cut then.. I am not one to go all mommie over a minor thing."


She replied and launched herself at him. Pivioting her  left hand to her side she feinted at the last minute. Gimp, who braced for an attack to his right  had moved and gave her the perfect opening. Striking to his side she  did a jump side kick. Swinging her blade in a vertical line across his shoulder as her kick impacted him and mobved him to cut a thin line across his shoulder.


Lanidng she backed up out his his view. Gimp, feeling the tingeling line of pain looked down to see a perfect cut. Blood pushing out  and running thin lines down  to begin soaking his shirt.

Saph smiled and backed off. Not even worried that her blade was up above  she didn't even wait and threw her blade up into the air. Connecting with the blade in the ceiling the metal clanged. It was enough as the first bounced against the stuck and fell. Soon followed by the other as she ran foward and jumped into the air. Catching both by the handels as Gimp rushed to meet her. 

"Now look what yo have done.."

He smiled, making Saph grow sick to the stomach as she kicked out to ehs side to head him off. Her blades in her hands she whipped them out. He dodged brilliantly and only her foot grazed him in the side.

" Get use to it..." She snapped back. "I will not be easy on you just because you are new here. I can see the lust in your eyes. I am not one of those pretty dancing girls that you can take off the shelf.."

The Twi'lik looked coldly back at him. Not moving as he would come closer. Apparently he needed a better lesson and now with her blood boiling she would welcome the challenge verse the dummby she had been attacking earlier.

"I think not.. but if you insist on learninig this lesson then so be it.." She hissed, snapping out her blade to keep him from comming any closer. Gimp merly smiled and took a finger to press her blade asside before moving futher into her personnal bubble. Her heat rolled off her in waves. Both in anger and from her workout.

"Yet you still don't back down.." He mused, not touching her.. yet.


"You just won't get it will you?"  She snarled and slammed her right knee up to hit him just a tad above his groin. Adding a spinning to knock his feet out from him as he would land on the floor. Saphira moved back, aiming her blade down as he grunted in pain.

Her cheek seemed to burn where he kissed her. Flinging her back she watched as he tossed out her weapons. Head snapping to the side she only gave a low snarl. It didn't matter. There were other ways to fight other then with blades. Anything could be used as a weapon.

" I would ask what your defination of fun is. But I already know the answer.. Private.."


She rasped, using his rank as a reminder that she was far more above him and would be wise to remember that.Like that even mattered for you.. and I bet it won't for him either. Saph thought to herself. Controlling her anger as she wited for him to come at her. She was going to see just how well he could handel her. If at all.

"I don't  need a weapon to be your better.."

Her eyes only seemed to darken at his statement. Saph snarled as her rear stung. The pain ebbing away into her own demonic pleasure. Though she would never show it on her face to anyone save one.


"You're never going to touch me again."


Gimp only smiled, reveling in the fact that she was so heated. His eyes looking her over. Eyes that wanted to see what treasures were beneath her clothes.

"If you quit fighting this wouldn't be so painful. But I like that in a women.."


Great.. Now I'll never get ride of him. I'm screwed no matter what I do. Being nice is so not me...


Saph thought to herself as she rushed him. Bending her knees to push up and out. Angling her body to the side as she kicked her right foot out to hit him in the head. Gimp moved and snapped his hands up, grabbing her foot and calf and taking the time to touch her lower leg. Making it seem as if he was meaning to grab her before he threw her across the room towards the metallic dummy that awaited her impact.


Her Lekku twitched as the rush of air and the object came to a close. Twisting her boy she reached out and grabbed the dummy. Her muscles stretching as she swore she felt a small tear. Grunting in pain she used her momentum and swung around as the dummy wobbled to fall forward. Saphira then flipped up into the air into a frontwards somersault and landed into crouch. Her eyes full of malice before she flicked her wrists to send two small darts of metal to fly into his right thigh. Her own hands bleeding. For as she had used the dummy and if one were to look closely they would see that near the shoulders two chunks of the metal that was already dug was gone. Smeared with her blood as she smiled and waited. Ignoring the pain as she clenched her fists...

" When the hell did you do that? Just now?"

Saph didn't answer. Her face a pale unreadable mask as she slowly stood.Suprise, Suprise... She thought to herself. Letting her hands loose as the blood begain to freely flow. The Twi'lik ignored it as if it didn't even exist.

"Im sorry... did that hurt?"


Her eyes flashed as the rooms light hit them. Rolling her right shoulder back as he spoke a bunch of crap to her.

"I am not the dating type..What, are you too hurt to continue?" She added with a hint of a smile beggining on her lips.  He is a very intresting mal.. I give him that much.. SHe thought to herself. Though she had already vowed that no one else would come into her life.

" You know Saphira, I really prefer soft kisses over stiff punches."

He replied as she rolled to her side and looked up at him. He was good, that much said in her eyes as she bared her teeth like a wild animal.

"I know YOUR type. Not intrested." She snapped. Males were one thing that she could easily read. Suggesting that she knew he was a pimp and had been with many women.  "As if I would stoop low to even think about that with you.." Saph added.

Gimp could tell she was hurt. Like him Saph wasn't going to give out of the fight.A worthy opponent.. and I hope much more.. He thought rushing at her. Saph rolled but was a split second too slow. He landed on her, pinning her legs down as he half hung off her side.

"I've heard stories already about you Saphira.. You need a strong male in your life.." Reaching up he pinned her wrists above her head. Looking down greadily. "Is it true that you carved out an enemies heart and ate it?" He added. Saphira twitched her lower lip. "I see someone has told you that.. Yes.. I did.. Killed him with a free hand as my right was worthless thanks to a fauly TD." She spoke quickly before continuing.

"I'm sorry to disapoint you... But I am not intrested...." She snapped, twisting her arms in his grasp as she used all her strenght to bring her knees up to push him off of her. Yet he had a better hold on her wrists. "You'd do better getting a women in the local bars..." She hissed as her Lekku twitched in annoyance. Yet her heart rate was a trifle quicker. As if she was excited...

" You're much too strong a fighter to not be able to shake me off this weak ride." he told her. " You must want to be pinned down."

He almost seemed to purr to her. SHe watched, breathing hard as he leaned his face down to hers and lightly rubbed his lips against her cheek. Licking her sweat off of his lips and looked at her silver eyes for a moment. Saphira could tell he wanted to do more as he pulled her up and held her close to him.


The female had the sudden urdge to kick him where it counts. Yet she didn't as he backed off and looked as if he was going to leave. What in the hell is wrong with you? No one gets away with that.. She thought. Then why was her heart racing as if she had done a marathon? 

"Bastard.." She whsipered. Gimp smiled, taking another step back.

"Say what? I couldn't hear you?" He taunted.  Just as he then gave her his back. Saph snarled. Lip twitching as sweat and blood rolled down her body.

"Coward.." She hissed and struck at him. Diving low in a sweep kick to his feet. Gimp fell back and to the ground . hands out to break his fall and then no sooner then he hit the ground  did she spin  from the ground, moving her hands and slammed down her right leg against his chest. Her silver eyes meeting his and giving away that she was impressed and didn't want him to leave.

. Her lekku was to the right of them and, slightly twitching, caught some of his attention. Great.. She thought, still struggeling against him as his hands moved to her head tail.


"I hear these are very... sensitive." he whispered as he softly grasped it towards the end, slowly moving his hand to her head.

The female growled, fighting back the emotions that spilled over. The one weakness her species had. She shuddered, becoming obvious that she was really fighting her control. "You are right.. b-but I am d-d-diffrent." She rasped as his  left hand wandered under her shorts, finding a soft spot on the side of her rear to remain content. She screamed out in anger, pushing up as she rolled away. Her body shaking as she fought off what she was feeling. No one has ever made you feel like that.. save one.. She reminded herself.Shut it...

"You are right.. and everything I have heard has been obvious that you are indeed what I need.." He replied, standing. Saphira backed away .Hands starting to swell from her cuts.

"I don't have time for this.." She begain, turning to give him her back as she started to walk over to the door. Gimp rushed at her. Saph, kowing he would, poised and aimied to throw a kick when he feinted and slammed into her side. Sending her up against the wall as her head hit, stunning her. His hands grappeing hers and pulling them behind her as he pressed close.

"Your right.. Neither do I.."
