Iyezo was greatly honored that his brother accepted his cahllenge. Iyezo was approaching the abandoned sith temple on his blood fin speeder. The frigid winds of Ziost beat against his face causing the slight moisture on his skin to freeze. He reached in to his robes and pulled out a piece of torn cloth and tied it around his face with the force, leaving only his eyes visible.

He was getting closer and closer to the sith temple, and his excitement was growing larger and larger,mutch brother.Hello brother, Ive been looking forward to this match for a long time.

Iyezo now in an appropriate distant leaned forward on his speeder sending him flipping through the air. He landed a few meters away from his master and then ignited his blade.

Thrax slowly turned to face his brother, Iyezo, and he released his hilt from his belt. He peered at his apprentice through his black mask and raised his saber up. In an instant, the brilliant emerald blade shot out of the hilt and Thrax lunged forward. Iyezo quickly raised his blade up in defense and blocked his opponent's attack. Thrax spun around and ignited his second blade then took a step back. He bared his teeth and lunged forward once more, slashing at Iyezo's waist with both sabers.

Iyezo quickley dodged the first attack and blocked the second with the bottom blade of his lightsaber. Iyezo then twirled the bottom blade upward slicing at Thrax's middle. Thrax then blocked with his free saber. Iyezo and Thrax struggled there for a few moents, Iyezo then saw an opening and sent a powerful thrusting kick aided by the force at Thrax's stomach.

Thrax slid back a few feet, and staggered but for the most part was unfazed. Iyezo then released a powerful flurry of horizontal, vertical, and diagonall attacks. Thrax was very skilled in lightsaber combat, and Iyezo was proud to be his apprentice and brother. Not a single of Iyezo's attacks broke through Thrax's line of defence.

Iyezo then sent a strong blast of air towards Thrax's knees .

Thrax jumped over the air with relative ease and he landed on his feet gracefully. His dark robe, now coated with snow, began to sway in the wind and he could hear it as it began to slowly pick up. He remained standing still with his sabers activated then looked at his apprentice through his black mask. This is more than a duel, Iyezo... I can hear your painful thoughts. We spoke about the death of our parents when you first got here, but I can tell that there is more that you wish to learn... Thrax could see Iyezo remain expressionless as he spoke to him through the Force, but he knew that he wanted to know more.

Iyezo backed away, and began to speak yet remained ready for anything, "Learn I all I want to do, I want to become the most powerful sith to have ever lived. Then I will use that knowledge to wipe every bit of that pitiful human that killed our parents," Iyezo then turned to meet his masters gaze,"I want to wipe him,and every record of his existence from the universe."

Interesting... I have some information that I've recieved from the Inquisitors that you might want to hear. After our duel, I will tell you all about it. Thrax bared his teeth as the temperature began to drop. He closed his eyes and his breathing began to slow down as he directed his attention to his surroundings. Icy boulders around the Gatesmaster began to rise in the air and slowly started to shake. The snowflakes in the air seemed to remain perfectly still as if waiting for something, anything to happen. As Thrax reopened his eyes, they turned blood red and the boulders shot directly at Iyezo.

Iyezo inluenced the air around him in an attempt to block the boulders, the smaller ones fell to the ground but the larger one that actually shown a threat continued tofly at Iyezo. He flipped to the right, avoiding one and used the force sending one crashing into another. The last one just missed buy a few inches. "Heheh, we fight the same, only your more powerful in the force, allowing a grander attack.. " Iyezo then lifted the snow off the ground, and sent the frigid wall flying towards his master.

As the wall of snow barreled towards him, Thrax balled his hands into fists and the snow seemed to immediately fall back to the ground in front of him. He smirked wickedly and ran at Iyezo, the snowflakes dissipating as they hit his blades. He quickly slid on the ground, which caused the snow to fly up, and brought his blades up in defense as Iyezo forcefully slashed at him. Thrax jumped into the air after he blocked the attack and sent a storm of lightning at his brother while flipping over him. Although he didn't get pushed back by the lightning, Iyezo wasn't able to block the entire storm with his lightsaber.

The lightning was very painful but not unbarable, Iyezo gathered up an emense power. an released it all at once right at his brother. The lightning ceased, the snow was melted around where he was standing. Iyezo could still feal the electricity flowing through him and just shrugged it off. " Come on master," Iyezo said raspyly, a wicked grin grew acrossed Iyezos face, as he leapt up into the air doing a barrel rle striking down upon his maste.

Thrax shook his head slightly and raised both of his hands, deactivating his lightsabers as he did so. A split second later, Iyezo shot backwards and skidded across the ice. Thrax clipped his sabers back onto his belt and walked across the ice, his feet leaving prints in the snow behind him. "That was the wrong move." Thrax stopped and looked at the ice below him and could see a small crack beginning to form. He lifted his gaze back at Iyezo who was now standing straight up again.

Iyezo put an immense pressure on the ice beneath them breaking it into thousands of pieces revealing the water beneath them, while he still could Iyezo dashed back to the solid ground, running and jumping from piece to piece until he got there.

Darth Thrax

Thrax stood perfectly still as the ice began to break and used the Force to pull the large chunks of ice towards him. As soon as he made the ice underneath him solid again, he looked at Iyezo and watched as he jumped to safety. The Gatesmaster began to walk and used the ice chunks to make a pathway to his apprentice, who was now on solid ground again. He stopped many meters away from Iyezo and lifted his hands into the air. He focused his attention on the large icicles that hung off of the destroyed temple and flung them downward at his brother. Usually he would utilize his lightsaber skills in a duel, but lately he had been using the Force more often.

Iyezo quickly dodged right avoiding the first icy stalactite, and re-directed two others towards his brother. Another was heading directly towards Iyezo. Mustering up all he could afford to, he quickly created an invisible wall with the force, shattering the ice in to thousands of almost snow like shards. Iyezo removed his makeshift mask and through it to the side.Temporarily drained, Iyezo then lowered his snow covered hood, and took a defensive stance only one blade ignited.

Darth Thrax

Thrax jumped several meters into the air and used the two giant icicles as stepping stones. He leapt off of the highest one and jumped well over Iyezo's head, landing on the cliff above him. Thrax closed his eyes and seconds later snow all around him began to rise into the air. A moment later, with his eyes still closed, he pointed his claw-like finger at his brother and the snow flew at the younger zabrak like blaster bolts.

Iyezo quickly ignited the other end of his double bladed lightsaber and flourished the blades in a propeller motion blocking the frozen bolts, evaporating them when they hit the blades causing steam to rise in front of them. Iyezo then started running towards then jumped on the frozen rock wall. Using his momentum and the power of the force to give him traction he ran up a few meters and grabbed on to a small ledge, then flung him self up to the top of the cliff. There he released a flurry of alternating attacks towards his brother.

The Sith Gatesmaster dashed and spun beneath each strike his apprentice threw at him with ease. He was getting better though, Thrax knew that. Iyezo's form was still flawed, however. Thrax saw an opening as Iyezo brought the double-bladed saber at his left arm. Thrax quickly moved to the right, crouched and spun in one fluid movement and brought his elbow up that connected with Iyezo's nose. Iyezo's head was pushed back with immense force and Thrax followed through with a leg sweep, sending the younger Zabrak crashing to the icy ground. As his brother fell to the ground, Thrax spun his hilt, so that the saber aimed downward, and stabbed directly for Iyezo's left thigh.

Through foggy eyes, do to the impact of his masters elbow to his nose, he just barley noticed his masters blade rising, about to come down stabbing through his leg. He tried to dodge the attack, but he didn't act quick enough, and the ligtsaber caught the inside of his upper thy singeing the tissue making a deep gash in his leg.

Iyezo cried out in pain, it was a blood curdling scream. Then Iyezo used the pain to his advantage, making him strong, and released a powerful wall of invisible dark side energy towards his master. The then slowly staggered back up to his feat taking a defensive stance.

Thrax landed on his feet as Iyezo had blown him back with the Force. The young zabrak had great potential, as did most apprentices that trained severely, but Iyezo was different. Thrax wanted him to become a great lightsaber duelist. That was his plan for his brother. He watched as Iyezo slowly stood up to his feet, determined to not lose the battle. Although they both knew who the victor would be...

Darth Thrax, his warm breath rising in the cold air, took a step towards the apprentice and couldn't help but find pleasure in his brother's pain. Either the large zabrak was trying to make his brother stronger by teaching him weakness or he had truly lost his soul long, long ago. Maybe it was both.

Thrax spun his hilt forward three times and charged at his apprentice. The Gatesmaster slid a few meters away from his brother and jumped over him at the last second, spinning in the air to face him as he did so. Iyezo, stamina already worn down, couldn't react fast enough and was caught off guard as his brother jabbed the bottom of the hilt of his lightsaber in his back.

Iyezo arched back in pain, then staggered forward falling to the ground landing on his hands and knees. Despite the frigid temperatures beads of sweat rolled down his face. He gritted his teeth and squinched his eyes in pain as he once more wobbled back to his feet. His head dropped in a mixture of anger, determination, and shame, he turned around slowly to face his brother, shoulders slouched in fatigue.

"Teach me..." Nothing more left his lips.

The howling wind died down greatly as Iyezo spoke, almost as if he had told it to. Thrax remained emotionless, however, and deactivated his lightsaber. He strode over to his brother without hesitation and grabbed him by the throat, lifting his head up and glared into his eyes. "I am teaching you, fool! Learn by doing, not watching!" Thrax shoved Iyezo backwards and turned his back to him. They stood there motionless for what seemed like an eternity until the large zabrak finally turned to face him once more and acitved his lightsaber. "Charge at me!" Thrax growled.

Without hesitation, Iyezo did as he was told and rushed at his brother. Thrax, now only a few meters from the younger zabrak, held his ground firmly. Iyezo then jumped and landed mere inches from Thrax, who remained standing still.

The emerald and crimson blades clashed and the two zabrak bared their teeth. Thrax quickly gained the upper hand and began forcing his blade with much more strength against the crimson blade. Iyezo, however, didn't let this phase him and seemed to rejuvenate his power and stamina instantly as he began to push back Thrax's blade.

Thrax, with his back slightly arched back, immediately deactivated his emerald lightsaber. This action sent his brother stumbling to the snowy ground in a heap and Thrax's lips curled sinisterly. Looking down at the younger zabrak, he spat. "Be ready for anything in a battle, regardless of who you are facing. Whether it be Fien or the Emperor himself... That... Is you first lesson. Learn it and you will become great."

Iyezo once again struggled to get back up to his feet. The combined pain of his leg, back, and head was excruciating. His head started throbbing and tunnel vision began to set in. He was finally able to stand straight once more and he glared at his brother. "Yes, Master Thrax..." Iyezo didn't hang his head in shame and nor did he look away. Instead, he kept his gaze fixed on the older zabrak and waited for his next lesson.
