	This month's challenge is Action. From lightsabre duels to space fights to gungans with energy weapons every Star Wars movie involves lots of drawn out action scenes. Unfortunately, it never really is a common feature of many fanfics (with a few notable exceptions ) as people have a tendency to focus more on character's interpersonal play then anything else. So, the challenge for the month of April is to write a short action scene. It can come from any time period, but must be purely action based. Please write something NEW for this. Don't repost something you have from another story. It's supposed to be about challenging yourself in new and different areas Thanks Kithera Edit: It's too early for spelling Click here for last month's challenge Click here for next months challenge -----signature----- Some people are like slinkies; Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile as you push them down the stairs * Writers wanted.... http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/27996678

	Alrighty, got my short story done. ____________________________________________________ A Demon's Wrath It was a dark night on the planet of Korriban; the wind was blowing fiercely as a duel was taking place inside one of the abandoned Temples of the Sith. Adi Gallia, Jedi Master, had just been hurled through a stone wall, on contact the small wall crumbled down and she was sent flying to the ground below. A white creature wielding a red blade jumped down after her, he landed easily on the ground in a cat like position. "Really Jedi," he sneered through his white mask that covered his entire face, only revealing two yellow-green cat eyes. "You could be better." Adi Gallia slowly rose to her feet, her Jedi Tunic torn and ragged. Blood was dripping from her right arm where her enemy had moments ago dug his claws into her. She gripped her Lightsaber tightly in both hands, pulling it close to her face the blade illuminated her with a blue glow. "You were the one to kill Quinlan." "It wasn't hard," he answered."The Jedi were done for, I just let him out os his misery." "You will die Grievous!" she screamed. Adi rushed at him, swinging her Lightsaber for his left leg, Grievous easily spun his Lightsaber and deflected the attack. He now twisted and slashed above her left elbow, the Jedi barely missed the blade as it slid across her drawing blood. She suddenly flipped back from her attacker and, using the Force, threw a log in his direction. Grievous began running and jumped through the log without any harm. "You'll learn I'm full of surprises," he told her menacingly as he landed right by her. Grievous swung his claw like hand at her face, scrapping from her ear to her month, if Adi hadn't pulled back in time she probably would have lost an eye. The Jedi grasped her left cheek as she felt the blood flowing. "You're a madman!" she screamed. "How can you do this?!" "I'm no man," he stated as he walked towards her, Grievous easily stood at 6'6". "My point in life is to destroy you filthy beings. I sold my soul to gain power. And Palpatine granted me that!" Grievous slammed at her, Adi could feel her ribs break on contact, this thing was covered in silver heavy armor. She was defenseless against him. The Jedi clutched her stomach as Grievous smacked her across the face with the end of his hilt, Adi staggered back by the hit. She let out another scream of pain at the hilt had opened her wound on her face more. The General spun and forced his foot hardly against her stomach he shoved her back with great force causing the Jedi to fly against a tree; crashing into it she moaned in pain and fell to the grassy floor. "It is your time," he said as he stood over her, his tall frame silhouetted by the moon. "Please," she begged as she pulled herself up. "I thought you were honorable!" he spat. "This is how you die!" Grievous kicked her again in the ribs. "Don't!" she yelped. Grievous said nothing and kicked her again. "Stop," Adi moaned as she pulled herself up. Grievous said nothing, he simply punched her across the face causing her to hit the ground. "I'm tired of you," Grievous stated darkly. The General rose his red Lightsaber above her as it cased a red beam over his silver armor. Grievous slammed his sword down hard killing the Jedi Master instantly. Though something unexpected happened, her body had disappeared. "Damn Jedi tricks," he mumbled. Grievous turned and slowly made his way off into the Sith planet, another kill for his Lord. -----signature----- "I'm in charge. I make the rules now."

	Possibly a bit rushed, just wanted to get something in early for once. Sand Blasted -- A Drabble The first clue Fett had that someone had already chosen this spot to wait out the sandstorm was when the gaffi stick smashed into his jetpack, crushing a nozzle. Two Tusken Raiders lunged at him from opposite directions, weapons raised. He tossed his worthless jetpack at one of the sandpeople while he rolled under the other's swinging gaderffii. He came up onto his knees and slammed his hand where he thought its groin was. Right or not, the attack got it to back up. Fett took advantage of the extra space to bring his blaster up and shoot both Tuskens. -----signature----- Drabbo's Challenges: http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=18433066 Author of...

	Hmmm... I'm not sure if the way I'm taking it counts as action-based or not. It's a battle for a planet, with plenty of shooting and lightsaber-whirling and droid-decapitating, but there's quite a bit of it that's two Jedi in the mobile command unit discussing the battle over the sounds of ion cannon fire, trying to avoid falling flak and trying to figure out why they're fighting in the first place... is that acceptable, or should I try for less conversation? -----signature----- I'm alive!

	[puts on elvis jumpsuit] A little less conversation, a little more action....[takes off suit again] I really wanted it to be about describing the action rather then two people talking about a battle. Maybe go for something a bit less talk. Thank you. Thank you very much. kithera -----signature----- Some people are like slinkies; Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile as you push them down the stairs * Writers wanted.... http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/27996678
