Sword Master
There was no movement to be seen and no sound to be herd but his own breathing and the hum of his lightsaber. The darkness seemed to close in around him as he waited in silence for the practice droids to make their move. He closed his eyes and extended his senses to the corners of the room. They were coming.
A quick lunging thrust to his right brought his lightsaber through the first of his assailants, stabbing into its midsection. Back flipping away he deflected laser fire back at the second attacker. The droid rolled to its right avoiding the lasers but gave him the second he needed to remove its head. Two down and three to go.
A force assisted leap brought him down on his next victim slicing it cleanly down the middle. The last two droids circled him waiting for the right moment to strike. One was armed with a staff and the other had a pair of long, wicked looking knives. They both charged at the same time Staff from the front and Knives from the back. A high spinning kick knocked Staff off his feet and sent him sailing through the air into a wall. Knives struck out with both blades in a crossing motion from side to side. Sidestepping to the right he brought his lightsaber up into its right arm, cutting it off, while spinning around to cut the legs out from under it. It hit the floor just when he sliced through its middle to make sure that it wouldn't be getting up again.
Staff, now back on its feet, charged forward bringing his staff to bear on his head. Unfortunately for it, it never made the hit. A quick sweep brought the legs out from under the droid and over his back. He pushed up with all his strength and sent the droid flying into the wall with such force it caused the droids circuits to explode. The whole thing fell to the floor smoking.
"Well done Ben." Jacen said from a corner in the room. "You have been practicing."
"Mom's been showing me how to fight multiple opponents while using as little effort as possible." Ben said as he closed down his lightsaber.
"She isn't the only one helping you. Your dad has to. That sidestepping move was one that he taught me when I was your age."
"Yes," Ben said as he walked over to Jacen. "It's a variation of the Fade Strike my Dad uses, only I don't add in the final flip slash at the end."
"Follow me," said Jacen as he turned to go. "Luke has asked for us to meet with him in the training grounds outside the temple." Ben followed him out the door and wondered what it could possibly be that his Dad needed him for at the moment.
