hey I'm back.
7 Defense Lessons
Rhade leaned against the bulkhead with his arms folded across his chest. He was watching the woman Will had called Ensign Jocasta the day before.
"Your balance is off."
She whirled around looking ready to attack. "Who are you?" She asked as if trying to sound relaxed.
Rhade walked up to her unfolding his arms and catching her scent. "Would you like the long version or the short version?"
"What's the difference?"
She wasn't fertile though he could smell her attraction. It was different from the other women on the ship though. He could have some fun with her. "The short version is just my first and last name while the long version is my rank, name, pride, and my father's name."
"What the hell the long version."
"Lieutenant Commander Telemachus Rhade out of Majoram by Rhade, and you are?"
"Ensign Erica Jocasta. Do people call you by all that all the time?"
"No it's just Rhade. How about you?"
"Just Erica. What did you mean about my balance?"
"I couldn't help but notice that it was off."
"How so?"
"You put too much weight on your left foot."
"And you can do better?"
"Would you like me to show you?"
"Feel free."
Rhade kicked off his shoes and dropped his jacket on top of them more than a little surprised by how little her attraction seemed to go up as he pulled off his shirt. "Attack me."
Erica smirked and aimed for his head. Rhade deflected the blow. He caught her wrist when she aimed for his stomach and flipped her on to her back on the mat.
It was Rhade's turn to smirk this time. "I heard that you were the best. From what you just showed me a first year human at the academy could beat you."
Erica growled and pushed herself to her feet ignoring Rhade's out stretched hand. She was more wary this time but still ended up on the mat. She just got up again with a look like a mix between awe and determination. It took her four more tries before she managed to trip Rhade causing him to land on his back.
"Not bad. It normally takes at least twenty times and my giving it to them for anyone to trip me or to even give me a good fight," Rhade pushed himself to his feet. "You're balance is still off though and you leave yourself open to often."
"What are you?" Erica asked wiping the sweat off her face. "Only klingon's and Vulcan's are that good."
"I'm nietzschean; though I doubt that you've heard of us."
"I haven't; what planet are you from?"
"Terzead, though again I doubt that you've heard of it."
"No," Erica shrugged. "How am I leaving myself open?"
"By putting to much weight on your left side. Stand like your going to attack," she crouched and Rhade walked around behind her. "First of all your feet are too close together," Rhade placed his left foot between her feet and used it to push her right foot out a little. "Next your arm needs to be higher for better leverage," he adjusted her arm. They went on like this until Rhade had changed almost everything about the way she stood. "Now do you have all that?"
"I think so," Erica replied.
"Good now attack." This time Rhade ended up on top of her pinning her arms to the deck. "Never let a bigger opponent get above you."
"You know this is a great position but can you please move."
Rhade let her up, "ready to go again."
"Of course."
Rhade didn't try to pin her again abut it took her four tries to get him on his back. "I can see why they call you the best."
I KNOW THE KEY TO GROWING OLDER. I'M THE FRIST KID TO WRITE OF HEARTS LIES AND FRIENDS.
N. Beresford: I think so to. I might want to revise a little.
Thought: I try to read the stuff my reviewers write. Sometimes it brings in more reviewers. In the
first version of this story I had Beka and Will together but I kind of liek having one of Beka's old
boyfriends show up.
benesound: I think I'll use that in a diferent story. I still haven't figured out how to end this one.
Blue Eyed Dragon Girl: Well hold your hourses. I only have an hour on my computer at home and
most of the time my grandma's reading over my shoulder and she dosen't know I'm doing fanfiction
so I can't work on this at home. I'm trying to update once a week. Though I think I will add some
more fillers and maybe a poker match and a few more meetings.
For anyone who reads my "Jenny" story I'm going to rewrite it and tell more about Jenny and
Micheal's relationship but that may take me a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG
while due to time constrants and the fact that I now have to actually do some work in study team.
By the way please review.
