Combat- Tuesday- 2nd period- Class #3

The class was in the Danger Shop today, even if it looked just like the gym, and Jaina was standing with two similar objects in her hands. "We're going to get back to hand to hand," she promised, "but today we're going to do something a little different.

"This is a lightsaber," she said, igniting the violet blade of the real weapon in her right hand and holding it up as she spoke. "For those of you who don't know, it's a weapon used by the Jedi... and others." The Sith didn't deserve mentioning, and she didn't know about the Imperial Knights, so there. "For those of you who know how to use swords, even light ones, you're going to be in for a surprise here. They're a lot lighter than what you're used to, which is going to change how you fight with it. The beam is plasma, and it's capable of doing this." With that, Jaina plunged her lightsaber downward, cutting easily through the Danger Shop floor before she switched it off. "If it can do that to a floor, it'll do a lot more damage to a person. Which is why you'll be skipping the real thing and using these."

And on went the practice lightsaber in her left hand, which looked and sounded just a little different. The snap-hiss wasn't quite the same. "These are practice sabers. You'll each get one for class. They're good substitutes for the real thing, but if you hit someone, instead of chopping off an arm, you'll shock them." And because she never expected people she bossed around to do anything she wouldn't, she tapped her other arm with the practice blade, and if it looked like it hurt, it's because it did. "Go ahead and pair up, try these out, and don't aim for any sensitive areas on purpose, okay? Seriously."

Jessica skipped the padding this week, mainly because she figured that a big laser shock sword thing probably wouldn't give much to a shoulder guard. Also, she didn't really need it last week, so why bother with it?

RIght now she just kind of wished she was allowing herself to really cut loose with her powers in class. Imagine how cool it would be to flip around everywhere with one of these things. But, she supposed, that's what the costumed antics last night were really for.
