"Oh, and here I was gonna let you start off easy! Rain it is, buddy."
*No sooner does Garrett assume a ready stance than Astefan opens up with a barrage of Rapid Shots from both blasters, varying each shot so that he is never aiming at the same body part more than twice in a row.*

*Lee walks off to get two blaster pistols of his own. While Astefan and Garrett are going back and forth, he sets the pistols on the lowest stun setting and equips them. But no sooner is he ready to walk back, he hears blaster fire already.*
Son of a murglak-*Lee rushes at Astefan's side. He wanted to atleast give Garrett warning but his arkanian friend was apparently more impulsive than he was.*
*Lee stands beside Astefan and opens fire on Garrett as well, aiming for certain areas like his legs and his torso.*

*As soon as Astefan opens fire Garrett uses burst of speed to give himself and edge over the blaster fire. He moves the blade of his lightsaber to the side and and is able to block most of the shots. The majority of the bolts hitting him in the legs. He was not prepared for Lee to also join the shooting and is quickly overhwelmed*
Well kark me to Mustafar. Y'all are pretty good shots after all. *he laughs as he leans against the wall of the cargo hold* Damn I haven't been shot at like that in a while.

*Astefan twirls both blasters again and then blows off the non-existant smoke from each barrel.*
"Yeah... and I haven't had opportunity to shoot like that in awhile. Good practice for me too, actually. You're just lucky my marksmanship skills are rusty!"

*Lee watches as Garrett imploys a Force Power to enhance the speed of the form. Not bad at all. Lee was impressed by his padawan's ingenuity. But he sees that Garrett is quickly overwhelmed not long after he joins in the shooting. He looks between the two as they talk.*
Again.
*Lee points both his blaster pistols at Garrett again and waits for Astefan and Garrett to get ready. Once Garrett could atleast block shots coming from the same area and redirect the shots back at them, Lee would move to a different angle and make Garrett really work with the form.*

*Garrett readies himself for the next volley. He had read up on Shien once upon a time. One of it's principle moves, or ideas might be the better word, was the Barrier of Blades. He thinks of that as the next volley comes at him. He uses burst of speed, and is ready for the skill of his shooters. He deflects more of the blasts this time but still takes a few hits. As he shakes off the stuns, he re-readies himself*
Up the power a little bit. There's not enough realism here.

*Astefan looks at Lee with a raised eyebrow. Garrett is Lee's padawan, so Astefan is asking the unspoken question how many notches to kick things up.*

*Lee looks back to Garrett after the second volley. He had improved significantly that time. Something must have clicked with him. Then his padawan speaks up boldly.*
Realism, huh?
*Lee looks back to Astefan, who's giving him a questioning look.*
Max it out. He gets knocked out, we'll bring him to.
*Lee raises the pistols to their maximum and takes aim at Garrett again, using Rapid Fire to shoot at his padawan.*

"Works for me."
*Astefan dials up both blasters to max stun and resumes peppering Garrett with Rapid Shots.*

Bitchin
*This made everything different in Garrett's mind. Now he had to block the incoming blaster bolts. Once again using burst of speed he prepares for the oncoming volley. He uses wider sweeps of his blade to not just block the blasts but send a few of them back at his shooters*

*Lee smirks at Garrett's response and begins aiming for different areas, completely randomizing his shots. This time he also improves the accuracy of the shots, making them cleaner and more precise. Lee notes the switch in Garrett's mind and figured this is what he was going for. He was forced into a situation where everything depended on him being able to deflect and redirect. When he notes the change in improvement in Garrett's Shien form, he also notes there are now blaster bolts coming right back at them. One comes flying at Lee and he has to roll out of the way to dodge it.*
*Now that Garrett had stepped up his A game, so would Lee. He kept suppressing fire on Garrett while moving to a completely different angle than Steph-I mean Astefan and making Garrett focus on more than one spot. In battle, Garrett would have to be able to defend from multiple angles.*

*Aha. Astefan has been waiting for Garrett to try this, and is a bit surprised he didn't try it sooner. He considers relying on his reflexes to make an Uncanny Dodge when needed so as to make it more challenging for himself, but instead opts to remain standing right where he is and puts up an invisible Force Barrier to block the shots. If Garrett doesn't already know about creating Force Barriers, then Lee should teach him those next.
He continues pelting Garrett with Rapid Shots as if nothing is any different, and notes out of the corner of his eye that Lee has moved to shoot at his padawan from a different angle. It was about time he did that.*

*Garrett kept his guard up, and when he noticed his Master moving he did the same, seeking to move to a more defensible spot in the hold, eventually going into a corner so that he could see both of his opponents. He was getting better at sending blasts back at his shooters, but then the effects of his burst of speed began to wear off. He then switched his focus from returning fire back to simply blocking the bolts*

*Lee watches as Garrett follows his movements and actually moves to reposition himself as well, instead of holding the same spot. He moves into a corner and is still redirecting the bolts back at both he and Astefan. Garrett was doing well imploying this form. But he notes Garrett switches from redirecting to simply blocking them. It must have been the Force Power wearing off. Lee stops firing and holds up his hand for Astefan to stop.*
Very good. It seems the realism did, infact, make the difference.
*Lee eyes Garrett warily.*
Tell you what. Take another break. I believe you have a rough version of the form down. From this point, it's only a matter of smoothing the edges.
*He walks over to Astefan.*
So. Where are we headed to? What's the news in the cockpit?

*Astefan flips the safety switches on and then sets the blasters down on a nearby ledge.*
"Aheh. You'll like this, actually. The signal cut out just short of Zeltros. However, my gut tells me that the Mandos aren't making a stop there - it's most likely that they're headed for Commenor, but who knows where they'll go after that. We're currently set to drop out of hyperspace in the Zeltros system - so I say we do a scan, check for ship debris or spaced bodies to rule out worst-case scenarios, and then keep going to Commenor."

*He smiles*
What? You're done all ready?
*He walks over to Astefan and develops a large shitt eating grin when he hears about dropping out of hyperspace at Zeltros*
Oh hell we have to go planetside. When was the last time you resupplied this ship?

"We can't go planetside unless we have solid evidence the Mandos took Tomias there. If we dally around on Zeltros, the trail to Tomias will grow cold. ...-Er. ColdER."

*Lee crosses his arms and nods as Astefan talks. He grins when he thinks about Zeltros. When the Jedi talked of finding a new residence, Lee's first thought was that they should move there. Well this was too good to be true. If they were already there, why not make a pit stop? Then his padawan chimes in basically saying what he was thinking, though adding a good excuse. But then Astefan disapproves.*
My padawan is correct. This ship could stand to resupply. You said you need proper tools and such to work on Garrett's hand, Zeltros will have something. We'll investigate Commenor next. We should still be able to pick up the trail from there. We're three Jedi tracking another Jedi and two mandos. We got this. Don't be such a debbie downer.
*He pats Astefan on the shoulder and his face turns from jovial to a little more serious.*
Besides. Zeltros is a hotspot, a wealth of gossip. I could stand to find out just what the mandalorians are up to.

*Astefan shoots a look at Garrett that clearly reads as "you lucky bastard!" before throwing his hands up in mock surrender.*
"Fine, you're in charge! But don't blame me if we miss a chance to catch up to the Mandos who took Tomias before they leave Commenor. Are you sure you two are thinking with your heads and not your... you know...?"

Nah man I just ate I'm not thinking with my stomach on this one
*Garrett knew what Astefan meant but chose to interpret it differently*
Anyway if the Mando's are going to Commenor they'll probably leave Tomias there and then bail so we can't follow them, and I like the idea of getting the supplies required to fix my hand. We might also find the components required for me to create a new lightsaber as well.

*Lee looks between Astefan and Garrett.*
Well I'm the captain, I say we make it so. We'll pick up on some more training after our stop to Zeltros.
*He looks to Garrett specifically, chuckling as Garrett makes his comment to Astefan about thinking with his stomach, then listens as he talks about lightsaber parts.*
Speaking of! I was on Ilum when I was found some time back. I managed to collect a crazy amount of crystals. I decided to bring those along for your benefit, Garrett. I figured you had your saber and might want to modify it. But this works too. Zeltros should have the necessary parts. When we get those parts, our next training session will be lightsaber construction.

Lighten up man. As soon as we get on the surface we'll hit up a bar and set you up with a nice Zeltron girl while Master Katarn and I go get lightsaber parts for about 15 minutes. How does that sound to you?

*Lee looks between Astefan and Garrett as they exchange words again. Garrett then announces his "plan" for Astefan and Astefan's response. Lee can't help but bust out laughing. He slaps his knee once then straightens himself out and clears his throat.*
Astefan...dude. When did you EVER pick up a chick? And being tortured by Darth B*tch doesn't count.
