Mara Jade, Jedi Master, vs Twilight Suzuka, Class A Assassin
    Mara Jade steps on to one end of the arena. At the other end, her opponent, Twilight Suzuka, drew her sword. It had been enchanted by an Orcish mage that she saw along the way who had offered to even the odds, for even a wooden sword that can slice through a truck cannot match the power of a lightsaber. Mara drew her lightsaber and stood there, tapping into th Force to anticipate when Suzuka will strike.
     She did not have long to wait. Suzuka suddenly charged at her, leaping into the air and bringing her katana down. Mara blocks with her lightsaber and is a little surprised that the energy blade
does not slice through the wooden sword. She then sets Suzuka's blade aside and attacks with a thrust of wrath (when the thrust is pointed downwards). The lightsaber meets some resistance, as it collides with Suzuka's light shield, but soon breaks through the barrier. It is then set aside by Suzuka's blade, and the two weapons are caught in a bind.
     Using the force Mara senses that Suzuka will be attempting a kick and takes the initiative. Her leg nails Suzuka in the stomach, knocking her back. Suddenly Suzuka springs her sword at Mara. It is set aside, but Suzuka suddenly does her Crimson slash and hits Mara in the side. Mara taps into the Force once more, and telekenes Suzuka into a wall. Suzuka prepares to slash, only to be stopped by a ringing alarm clock.
     "Darn! I passed the time limit. Oh well, though my assassination failed, I can still fight ON!" Suzuka cries, and throws the clock at Mara. She steps to the side, but the clock suddenly explodes, knocking her off her feet. Suzuka holds her sword at Mara's throat.
     "All right, you win." Mara surrenders. Suzuka then walks up to the Round 2 arena, while Mara climbs down and makes her way to the
Jade's Sabre.
