Veroa blinked, then her lightsaber flashed once, impacting the Force technique, whatever it was, before she charged Aayla's back. "So the Jedi have learned some new tricks. It won't save you!"
Sister Mature didn't say anything, her lightsaber flashing this way and that as she and Aayla danced around one another. Then Aayla turned away slightly, bringing her other lightsaber around in an arc to block Sister Veroa's first blow, deflecting and attacking with both of her slightly shorter blades.
For the next few moments all three of them twisted, danced, jumped, and leaped around one another. The two Night Sisters used a variant of Ataru to match Aayla's Jar'kai, with more attacks and punches and kicks in their style than the normal variant. Despite that, Aayla's Jar'kai gave her a notable edge in comparison to what the two were used to when sparring with one another. But the two Night Sisters fought as a team, pressing Aayla hard.
Occasionally Aayla struck out with a Force technique that they hadn't seen before. For instance, a red colored wave of Force which nearly took Sister Mature in the face once, despite having seen Aayla lob a similar one earlier towards Veroa. Another attack was a blast of cutting air.
But Veroa's Force Precognition warned her, and she ducked underneath it just in time, bringing up her lightsaber to nearly slice Aayla's forearm off. But the Twi'lek had twisted to one side just enough for the attack to miss, lashing out with a kick that caught Veroa in the chest, hurling her backwards.
Mature pressed in before Aayla could capitalize, landing a kick and a punch even as her own lightsaber was directed to one side by Aayla's defense, forcing the Twi'lek backwards and away from her teammate.
Under the impetus of one kick Aayla allowed herself to roll backwards before flinging herself further into a midair barrel roll to get more space faster than Mature could follow. Then she lashed out with more air attacks, coming from both her outstretched hands still holding her lightsabers using her lightsabers to actually direct the attack.
The Night Sisters in return began to jump all around, dodging the attacks while they reached out with the Force, grabbing up the crates all around them and hurling them at the Jedi. This forced Aayla to stop her own assault, and she reached out with her own Force powers in a new configuration. The air in front of the would-be missiles solidified under her direction into the consistency of mud for a moment, slowing then stopping the flotsam.
For a moment the two sides stared at one another, and then Mature spat to one side before speaking up for the first time. "Not bad."
Aayla nodded once. "You too."
Then they all raced forward again, and for the next few seconds none of them used Force techniques except for Precognition, letting their lightsabers do the talking. Aayla realized during this exchange that she couldn't fight both of them like this, lightsaber to lightsaber. They were just too good! Slowly they were overcoming her Force Precognition, nearly breaking through her defenses. That's all right. I have other techniques in my bag of tricks!
When Aayla felt she had a chance to trap one of her attackers into a mistake, she took it without hesitation. Instead of attacking as her assailants predicted, she took up a defensive stance for just a split second, a seeming weakness that Veroa could not stop herself from attacking. Her lightsaber flashed out in an attack to the alien's side that should have bisected the Twi'lek.
But instead Veroa gasped as a Force Shield appeared around Aayla's side, taking the blow. Aayla could feel the Shield fading, but it lasted long enough. One of Aayla's lightsaber's took the surprised Veroa in the throat, the plasma blade bisecting her neck without even pausing before the Night Sister could recover from rage-induced lunge.
In response Mature howled, the sound vibrating in Aayla's ears as she made the Force reverberate with the power of her hate. It was all Aayla could do to not drop her lightsabers and reach to cover her ears as the woman bellowed. But a quick silencing technique over herself protected Aayla so that she didn't have to, which saved her life in the next few seconds. Her concentration on her Force Shield having faded under the auditory assault, Aayla had to rely just on her lightsabers again to defend her from Mature's furious assault. Even so the Night Sister's attack got through here and there to burn Aayla's skin in a series of close calls, causing her nearly enough pain to drop her blades anyway.
But she didn't, and having slipped into a modified Soresu stance Aayla weathered her opponent's assault. Then, when she sensed Mature beginning to run out of steam, Aayla once again changed the battlefield, conjuring up a series of air attacks behind her and launching them forward.
Mature deflected or absorbed two of them with her lightsaber, but couldn't stop Aayla from going on the attack now. She furiously brought her lightsaber down with enough Force to Force Aayla to use both of her lightsabers to block a blow directed at her side but Aayla used one lightsaber to carry Mature's blade down to the ground pinning it there with her other blade for a second, freeing her first to lash up and cut through the other woman right below her shoulders. Mature's body fell in two pieces, and Aayla stepped back, watching as it hit the ground with a thump.
Exhaling once, Aayla brought her lightsabers up in a salute, then turned them off, sliding them onto her belt. "I wonder what these Night Sisters are supposed to be? Good fighters, whatever they were." She stood there for a moment looking down at the bodies of her former opponents before moving over to the body of the gangster boss, hitting him with a stun bolt for good measure.
Up close she could see that he was a Falleen. They were a green-skinned semi-reptilian race who were normally thought to be quite handsome and which could breed with many other races, something which was helped along by the pheromones they let out which affected the bodies of the opposite gender of many species.
