The Training Room on the East Building is easily one of the biggest rooms in the Enclave. The room is a large open space for plenty of room for lightsaber sparring, and also contains holographic training simulators and training droids. Overall, the room is big enough to hold several training classes at a time.

*Ellie stepped into the training room and closed her eyes for a moment, before giving a small sigh. She had spent many hours in this room, it felt more like home then any other part of the building. Turning to Honon, she gave a slight grin.* "So, how do you want to do this? Any good strategy in mind?" *She pulled her lightsaber from her belt. As she did, she could almost feel a strong dark urge pulling at her. It was like the blade was crying out for the battle ahead, begging to sate its appetite. Ellie paused for a moment, holding the hungry blade in her hands, the leather and cloth grip feeling like part of her own body. Slowly she set the blade on the table before grabbing a training saber.*

Honon grins when Ellie asks about strategy, telling her, "Kat is a Soresu user, but if we can somehow isolate her and combine our attacks I'm pretty sure we can eventually overwhelm her. Then we can focus on your sister, unless you think we should make that our top priority instead? Not familiar with Ellie or her sister's choice of lightsaber form, and equally sure that they are not familiar with his, Honon goes on to explain, I'm an Ataru user myself, then to help them continue forming a strategy, asks Ellie, How about you?"
Kateri, selecting a training blade for herself after removing her hooded outer robe, asks Kaiya, "Ready? Or should we do some quick stretches?"
Rolling her neck from side to side while testing the weight and grip of the training blade she has selected, Kaiya asks rhetorically, "There's usually no time for stretching before most real battles, is there?" Checking that her ponytail is securely fastened, Kaiya begins walking intently towards one of the rings marked off on the floor of the room to indicate her readiness to begin.

*Ellie held the lightsaber in her hand, somehow it felt wrong. As if her mind was rejecting the blade, telling her she was choosing poorly. Setting it down, she grabbed a long handled lightsaber from the table. The hilt was as long as her forearm and felt much better in her hands. Still, something was off somehow. She turned to Honon as she made her way into the middle of the ring.* "With a smaller lightsaber, I use Makashi. But.." *She held up the larger lightsaber in her hand.* "I've had to use different techniques to use one of these." *She stopped at the edge of the ring and faced her opponents. Speaking low enough that only Honon could hear.* "Kaiya will more then likely focus on offense while your sister focuses on defense. If we take out my sister first, then we can wear down Kateris defense without tiring ourselves out." *She faced her vod and gave her a small nod, indicating that she was ready.*

"Got it, Honon tells Ellie, bouncing on the balls of his feet with a grin. You engage your sis', I'll make it look like we're planning to divide and conquer by moving for Kat, try and get them far enough part that they can't support each other. When you have Kay distracted and Kat is separated from her, I'll move to join you and we'll try and remove Kay from the board. Let's go!" Not waiting for a reply, Honon ignites his emerald hued training blade and bounds forward, leaping up into an acrobatic spin towards his sister when he has enough momentum to carry himself across the distance dividing them.
As Kat moves her blade into a position to parry from the front, with Kaiya dropping back slightly on her right side to protect her if needed and to keep an eye on Eliie, Honon calls upon the Force and twists his upper body so that his spin alters course, taking him to Kateri's left side to try and draw her attention towards him alone.

*Ellie gave a sigh and rolled her eyes as Honon darted forward into the fight. Leaving her lightsaber deactivated, she began to walk towards her sister, keeping both Honon and Kateri at a distance. She locked eyes with her twin and never broke her stride. She extended her right arm out and quickened her pace to a jog. Her breathing began to slow and her heart rate dropped. Everything she learned on Felucia and Ryloth was coming back to her mind. The sound of Honon and Kateri fighting close by was drowned out, but she could still feel them in the force. The battle that mattered here and now was the one in front of her. Now, she realized, that when she fought the Sith Lord, he truly was training her in a way. Just like he said he was going to, even if she was trying to kill him the entire time. When he fought her, he used a fighting style she had never seen, one that made used the opponents momentum against them and used the blade of his lightsaber very little. Even now, with the thoughts of the Sith Lord in her mind, she was calm.*

Kateri holds her ground, only adjusting her body to ensure she can see both of her opponents as she continues to hold her gently humming lightsaber back in the traditional Soresu user's one handed grip, the blue blade angled forward with her empty right arm held parallel.
Kaiya watches her twin stalk forward with an utterly calm expression, narrowing her own eyes as Ellie extends her right arm and quickens her pace as though going for a frontal attack. Knowing that Kateri will not engage her brother until he gets closer, Kaiya decides to try and break up whatever plan Honon and Ellie have in mind. As Ellie seems intent on attacking her, with Honon focusing on his sister, Kaiya calls on the Force to dart swiftly from Kateri's right side to her left, lifting her lightsaber overhead in a two-handed grip as the distance closes, swinging it down powerfully on a diagonal for Honon's shoulder when she is in range for the upper tip of her saber to make contact.
Honon and Kaiya's lightsabers screech as they connect, and the Korun flips nimbly backwards as Kaiya immediately withdraws her saber and sends a counterstrike towards his side. Jumping upwards after taking a step, Honon uses the Force to flip back and over Kaiya's head, timing the move perfectly so that he can strike downwards at Kaiya or block if she strikes at him before he has the chance to strike first. Honon never has the chance to find out who would have struck first however, Kateri sending a powerful Force push towards him just after he flips that sends him vaulting backwards.
With her brother momentarily out of attack range, Kateri focuses her attention primarily on Ellie while Kaiya, now on her left side, watches Honon land nimbly on his feet in a crouch, one hand on the ground keeping him from losing his balance . . .

*Ellie's focus changed from her sister to Kateri. Her twin, however, still remained the primary target. Activating her blue bladed lightsaber, Ellie made a frontal charge at Kateri. Grabbing the blade in both hands, she went to make a powerful cross swing at her opponent. The attack was nothing more then a bluff. Now, all she needed was for Kateri to fall for it.*

Kateri angles her left wrist to parry Ellie's cross swing, gritting her teeth as the powerful stroke lands, their lightsabers hissing as they slide against one another, and then brings her right hand to her hilt to try and force Ellie's saber backwards.
Hearing the distinctive howling of locked sabers, Kaiya steps back and whirls around swiftly, moving her hilt, in a two handed grip, so it is angled horizontally as she sends a swipe towards her twin's back.
Honon, seeing the danger to Ellie, sprints forward and leaps towards Kaiya's exposed side with his lightsaber held up so that, once in range, he will be able to bring it down for a diagonal strike aimed at her shoulder . . .

*Ellie adjusted her stance to get better footing in order to push back at Kateri. When she hears her sister land behind her and swing her blade in a powerful stroke, she changed plans. In one swift movement, she dropped to her knees and leaned back so far that her elbows touched the floor. At the same time she deactivated her lightsaber, hoping that Kateri's strength would work against her. It was a risky move though, Kaiya's lightsaber almost brushed Ellie's nose. She swung her blade up and back, activating it at the same time. With any luck, the blade would strike her sisters stomach, or at least put her at disadvantage to Honon's attack.*

Schizz just got real, Honon, who always enjoys sparring sessions, thinks excitedly as he grins happily when his sister, once her lightsaber is no longer locked with Ellie's, steps lithely to the side and bats his strike towards Kaiya aside.
Kaiya holds her breath as, when her twin drops to her knees and begins to swing her lightsaber hilt up and back, she sweeps her right foot quickly around past her left so that only the left side of her body is turned to face Ellie, the move executed barely in time to avoid the blow intended for her stomach. As her twin's lightsaber sings its deadly song mere inches in front of her stomach, Kaiya steps nimbly back while bringing her own lightsaber darting down towards Eliie's wrists (or wrist if she has dropped a hand from her hilt while moving), executing what would, were they not using training blades, be a cho mai rather than a stinging numbing of the wrist or wrists.
As Kaiya swings her blade downward, Honon does not resist the parry from his sister, letting it drive his lightsaber back so they do not lock blades, and immediately flips to his left, aiming a kick for Kateri's head when his leg in in position to do so, hoping to catch his sister off guard with the blow . . .

*When Ellie didn't feel her blade make contact, she instinctively knew to roll and get out of danger. Her right hand let go of the lightsaber, pointing it away from her body, she sent out a strong force push. The force push tossed her, not away from her sister, but rather at her legs in an attempt at using her own body as a weapon. With any luck, she'd knock her twin off balance, or off her feet completely.*

Kaiya attempts to leap over her twin when Ellie bowls herself towards her legs, the leap coming a fraction of a second too late. As she loses her balance and begins to sprawl forwards, Kaiya feels a hand clasp her shoulder to steady her and then push her further away from Ellie.
Kateri, having dipped her head to avoid her brother's kick, had seen Ellie roll into Kateri's legs, and reacted by darting towards her sparring partner to help her stay on her feet. Using her right hand to shove Kaiya away once she is sure to keep her footing, Kateri swings the lightsaber held in her left hand rapidly down towards Ellie before she can regain her feet.
Honon, landing on his feet after his flip, launches himself upward to leap in between his sister and Ellie, blocking the strike meant for Ellie.
Kateri disengages her lightsaber from her brother's, taking a step back so that she and Kaiya are side by side, facing Honon and Ellie. . .

*Ellie rolled to her feet and stood beside Honon. She was frustrated right now at her fighting ability. On Felucia she had no problem taking down Sith Sabers and other Sith that crossed her path. So why now was it so hard for her to use that same fighting ability, she wouldn't be able to keep up with the same person she was on Felucia. A strange feeling formed in her gut, a sinister tug in the force, as if a dark voice was whispering in her ear, telling her that she was using the wrong lightsaber. Her eyes glanced from her sister and Kateri to the Sith lightsaber on the table. She knew it was right, she was using the wrong blade, she had to.....no. Ellie shook her head, trying to clear the thoughts of the darkside from her mind. She was not going to give in to that anger here. Taking a deep breath, she let it out slowly. Grabbing her blade with both hands, she held it out in front of herself, preparing for what she about to do next.*
"Alright Honon. Lets do this."
*Ellie took two steps then went into a full charge. When she cleared half the distance to her sister, she used the force to jump the rest of the way. Raising her blade above her head, she swung it down with every ounce of strength she had.*

Nodding with a grin, Honon charges alongside Ellie, calling on the Force to leap when she leaps, curling and flipping in midair so that he will land behind Kaiya, his lightsaber aimed for her back as Ellie swings her lightsaber down towards her twin from the front.
Kaiya, when she sees her sister make her leap with her lightsaber raised overhead, takes a large step to her left, crouching and, her lightsaber hilt held in her left hand, jabs her arm out to her side on an upward diagonal angle to try and stab her twin in the side as she lands.
Kateri, as Honon tries to alter his swing to adjust for Kaiya's altered position, swings her lightsaber out to intercept the strike, and, as their blades lock and hiss fitfully, grits her teeth and wrenches her hands down to drive Honon's blade towards the floor. As Honon fights to free his blade from his sister's, Kateri suddenly relents, arcing her lightsaber swiftly up and in towards his chest.
Honon nimbly dances backwards, sidestepping the strike intended for his sternum, and sweeping his lightsaber towards Kateri's knees . . .

*Ellie's lightsaber hit the ground where her sister had been, letting out a loud hum as it did. She could almost sense her sisters attack as much as she could see it. Bringing her lightsaber up, she parried the strike. Moving to her left, she struck at her sisters right side. All the while she kept her senses open to the force to keep track of Honon and Kateri.*

As gracefully and fluidly as though they are executing the steps of an intricate, deadly dance that was planned out in advance and rehearsed until they both knew the steps so well that every pivot and turn, every flick of a wrist or shift in weight is carried out with a fluid ease, Kaiya spins to face her twin while moving her hands down towards her right hip so that Ellie's lightsaber meets her blade rather than her side.
Kateri, with no time to adjust the angle of her lightsaber so that she can intercept her brother's strike for her knees, dances swiftly and nimbly backwards instead to evade the blow. Honon gives her no quarter, charging in and, smiling happily all the while, raining down a relentless hail of blows that seem to come from the front and sides almost at once with how swiftly they fall as he calls on the Force to enliven his strikes with an otherworldly swiftness. Kateri, her calm expression showing the first signs of strain, manages to weather the storm, her own blade seeming to become a protective circle that wards off her brother's every strike.
Hearing the sounds of Kat and Honon's lightsabers yowling and hissing with an almost frightening speed, Kaiya suspects that her partner for this sparring session may be in trouble, and so attempts to disengage from Ellie, lunging towards her twin while forcing her lightsaber away from her side to try and shove her sister away long enough to try and break off Honon's attacks on Kateri . . .

*Ellie could hear Honon gaining an advantage on his sister. This was a good thing, she could not let her sister intervene. She can feel Kaiya try to break away from her and push past so she could get to Kateri, Ellie was not going to allow this. Deepening her stance, she stood in front of her twin and let out a strong shove with the force. Moving fast, she darted at her sister a split second after launching her force attack. Gripping her lightsaber with both hands, she made a powerful swung at her twins side.*

Staggering backwards, Kaiya struggles to maintain both her footing and her awareness of the positions and movements of the combatants around her when her twin sends a Force push hurtling towards her. Managing to keep from losing her balance entirely, Kaiya brings her lightsaber down towards her hip, angling the blade so that it intercepts Ellie's strike, the force of the blow almost knocking her down and bringing her own blade dangerously close to her side. Spinning with Force assisted speed to disengage herself from her twin's advance, Kaiya dances first away from her sister and then, blindingly fast, without halting her spin, uses the momentum to bring her lightsaber on a vertical path towards the back of Ellie's hips.
Every blow she intercepts requiring that she take a step backwards so that Honon does not penetrate her guard, Kateri knows that he will literally have her back against the wall if she does not do something to break his present command of the battle. Her options being narrowed with every step she takes backwards, Kateri wills herself to regain her inner calm, and then, as she intercepts the next blow her brother lands, grits her teeth and quickly pivots her wrists so that her blade forces Honon's off to her right side before he can draw it back to strike again. Putting her weight on her left, rear foot, Kateri whips her right leg out beneath their blades, sending a vicious kick for her brother's stomach. . .

*Ellie watched her sister spun out of her attack and strike from behind. With the aid of the force, she jumped straight up. Arching her back, she did a back flip to let her twins litghtsaber pass underneath her. She landed in a crouch, swinging her lightsaber at the back of her sisters knees to try and upset her balance.*
