[Iyezo, how about a duel?]

Darth Rachk

[For sure so where at]

Fien'Dur

[I'll let you pick the terms and conditions.]

Darth Rachk

(Location - Woods on Ruusan.
Force Powers - Nothing that affects the mind.
Weapons - No blasters.
no killing)

Darth Rachk

[for the record, if anyone wants to see the moves I'm practicing, go to youtube, and type in kamas forms]

Iyezo was in a small clearing in the woods of Ruusan, it was the summer there in the southern hemisphere at the time, so the weather was mild, and a slight breeze ruffled the leaves of the forrest around him. He was practicing a set combination of moves with his small hand held scythes. When he was younger his adopted human father had taught Iyezo martial arts, until Iyezo had learned everything he knew. Inevitably this led to his death.

He could feel the small green floating balls of fur known as bouncers all around him, apparently they sensed something was about to happen, something ominous. It had been a long time since he had used these weapons, the last time was before he acquired his purple light whip.

Fien'Dur

Fien was in a clearing and meditated on top of his ship until he felt the time was right to confront Iyezo. Thoughts, emotions, feelings were flowing through Fien as he meditated.

Fien dropped from the top of his ship and re-adjusted his cape, turned, and used the force to call out Iyezo to meet him so they could have a battle. As Fien marched through the thick woods of Ruusan, starting feeling that this wasn't a place where the dark side of the force was found natuarally, it was a peaceful place. Fien noticed creatures of all shapes and sizes scurrying away as he passed by.

Fien finally came to a spot that the force was drawing him near to, and noticed Iyezo standing there waiting in preperation for this battle.

"Good to see you Iyezo", Fien said as he dropped his cape and unsheathed his lightsaber.

Darth Rachk

Iyezo turned to his cousin Fien. They spoke to eachother in their native zabraki tounge,"Hello Fien." Fien Looked down noticing the strange weapons in his cousins hands. Iyezo could feel Fiens uncertainty. Iyezo twirled the weapons around his fingers, like a bandit would twirl his blaster pistol. He then dropped in to a low stance and his hands in front of his face with the blades pointing forward. He lunged forward, and Fien made an attempt to hinder Iyezo's advance, but Iyezo merely twisted around Fiens bades, getting close, to close for the lightsaber to be an effective weapon. He drove Fien in to a full retriet, for all he could manage to do was block and parry Iyezos attacks.

Fien'Dur

Fien wasn't trained to fight against a weapon like this and was going, just on instincts. Fien was blocking the sickles as they were being lunged at him, and couldn't get much of an opening for an attack. Fien was stumped and starting to get frustrated.

Fien flipped backward a few meters and had enough space to do what he needed. With a twist, Fien had separated his Double-Bladed lightsaber and was prepared to fight with two blades. Having each blade in a different hand position ensured a challenge, with the left blade pointing upwards and the right blade pointing backwards. Fien ran forward and lunged at Iyezo causing him to stumble backwards and roll down a hill.

Fien jumped down the hill and locked blades with Iyezo upon landing. The air around the lands of Ruusan were ominous and peaceful, sort of relaxing in a strange way. There was an abundance of trees and woodlands around the area they were fighting in, and a large waterfall in the distance. Fien had expectations of ending the fight there. Fien parried an onslaught of slashes and jabs from Iyezo and kept his distance and stayed relaxed, just waiting for Iyezo to mess up.

Darth Rachk

Iyezo was caught off guard by his cousins sudden turn of the tables. He didn't expect Fien to be able to find an opening in his offence, he had fallen in to a false sense of control, he was underestimating his cousin. Iyezo would make sure he didn't find himself, slipping in to this fantasy of domination again.

Iyezo and Fien were struggling back and forth, trying to gain the offense. Iyezo was blocking and parrying Fiens attacks, and vise versa. Iyezo had to find an opening in his opponents defense, and suddenly in the middle of a parry was an open spot, leaving his abdomen open for an attack.

Iyezo flipped backward and lunged inward with the same attack but this time in the middle of the parry, Iyezo kicked Fien in the stomach, aided by the force the kick sent Fien flying back several meters. As Fien regained his footing, Iyezo spun his blades around his fingers and stuck them in the specialized holsters on his belt, and then drew his crimson double bladed lightsaber in a propeller like twirl. He then met his cousin head on with a flurry of attacks.

Fien'Dur

Iyezo's kick sent Fien flying backwards unexpectedly, and re gained his footing and prepared himself.

Fien watched Iyezo as he jumped through the air and changed weapons, and Fien decided to readjust himself. Fien put the two separate blades together and once again combined them. Fien ignited the ominous and evil, black blades, and blocked Iyezo's flurry of attacks and flipped backward to gain distance. Fien twirled his blade and walked towards Iyezo slowly and with long strides.

Fien's blade locked with Iyezo as he thrust forward. Fien spun to the left, making Fien's right blade meet with Iyezo's chest. Predictably, Iyezo blocked the attack, and Fien leg swept Iyezo making him fall to the ground on his back. Fien looked to right as he took a step back and noticed a fallen tree. Fien concentrated to pick up the tree, and lobbed it Iyezo forcefully.

Darth Rachk

Iyezo propelled himself off of the ground narrowly missing the tree that was flying towards him. As he landed he fell in to a front roll, coming up and clashing blades with with his cousin. As they struggled back and forth Iyezo deactivated his blade, as he did so Fien stumbled forward. Iyezo sent a powerful elbow to the back of Fiens head, and as he fell to the ground Iyezo raised his heel, connecting it directly to Fiens nose. Before Fien had the chance to fall, Iyezo sent him crashing to the ground with a powerful axe kick, Iyezo glanced down and noticed blood on the heel of his boot.

Fien'Dur

The elbow to the back was painful, and blood from Fien's face was all over now.Fien made his way up slowly and wiping the blood from his face.

Fien quickly jumped up and Force Flashed Iyezo, causing him to deactivate his lightsaber and hold his eyes, giving Fien an open shot. Fien merely punched him as hard as he could in Iyezo's stomach and as he leaned forward, Fien kneed Iyezo in the face, knocking him backwards. Iyezo was temporarily blinded from the flash and was slow getting up and ready.

As Iyezo made his way back up to his feet, Fien ignited both of the black blades and lunged forward, sending a power attack at Iyezo's chest.

Darth Rachk

Iyezo was enraged, he pushed out with both hands, the blade stopped, and seconds later Fien flew backwards, crashing in to a tree. Had he been an average person, he would have died the second Iyezo unleashed his power, Iyezo then dropped Fien, his body was limp and his clothes raged, his lightsaber was on the ground at his side. Iyezo flung it into the forest. He then kicked Fien in the jaw,"GET UP FIEN," Iyezo shouted. He sheathed his own lightsaber and brought out his scythes again.

"GET UP!!!"

Fien'Dur

Fien was now disarmed and weakened, and had to find a way to win. Fien was now getting frustrated and angry. He rose to his feet as Iyezo walked sinisterly slow towards Fien.

Fien created an orb of energy in his hand and threw the ball of force energy at Iyezo, hoping to get some ground in their fight.

Darth Thrax

[[I HIGHLY doubt that you could do such a powerful attack at that age. And Force Maelstrom doesn't cause a cyclone to appear. It's just basically like a Force push except all around you.]]

Fien'Dur

[ Force Maelstrom was a devastating combination of the powers Protection Bubble, Telekinesis, and Force Lightning. First, the user would form a Force Bubble around their body, concealing and protecting them inside. Then, any loose objects/persons around the user would swirl around the bubble, through telekinesis. Finally, the user would devastate the objects by blasting them away, in a surge of Force Lightning. Still too much you think?]

Darth Thrax

[[Yes, actually. Not even Galen Marek, or Starkiller, could do it that powerful. Edit your post.]]

Darth Rachk

[Can you elaborate what you meant by ball of energy]

Fien'Dur

[I meant it as being a concentrated ball with Force wave.]

Darth Rachk

[ah okay]

Darth Thrax

[[Fien, I never said that you couldn't do Force Maelstrom. I was just stating that you couldn't do it that powerful yet.]]

Darth Rachk

Iyezo tried to dodge the concentrated ball to the right, but was to late, the ball of energy clipped his left side, and sent him twisting through the air. He used the force to land on his feet, but do to the rapid spinning through the air he had become dizzy. Iyezo staggered, he closed his eyes and shook his head trying to get rid of the dizziness. A momentary headache arose as he opened his eyes, and his vision pulsed.

Fien was gone from the spot where he had been sprawled. Iyezo figured he had gone to find his lightsaber. He reached out with the force, but could not feel his cousin. He was in danger. He walked over to the center of the clearing they had been previously fighting in, and began to meditate, senses alert for any sign of Fien.

Fien'Dur

Fien dashed away in search of his lightsaber and saw the lightsaber had been thrown into the direction of the river. Fien glanced around hoping to see even a shine of the hilt and noticed it underwater in a shallow area of the river. Fien walked over, and picked up his lightsaber and began to dry it as he turned to go back and continue his fight with Iyezo.

Fien scaled a tree with force jump and began leaping from trees that were close by one another. Fien used Force Stealth when he noticed that Iyezo was probably still at the battle location, waiting for Fien to return.

Fien was in a high tree and looked down to notice Iyezo sitting there meditating. Fien guessed that his Force Stealth was working because Iyezo would have glanced up and stared down Fien any other day. Fien ran off of a branch, flipped forward so that he was perfectly above Iyezo and dropped his weight so that would fall faster and with more force. Fien ignited one of his blades so that it would cut Iyezo vertically, but it was doubtful that Iyezo would be oblivious to the falling Zabrak overhead.

Darth Rachk

[note: for anyone that is confused by the name, in canon, this was before I was promoted]

Iyezo heard the leaves on the trees being ruffled, as Fien jumped from branch to branch. Then it stopped, then the distinguishable sound of strained wood came to Iyezo's ears, followed by flapping cloth, and the hum of a lightsaber. Yet he chose not to move until the last possible second, right then Iyezo rolled backward into a crouching stance, and brought out his lightsaber to block his attack, he glared up at Fien with his unusual yet intense purple eyes, Fien glared back with a wicked frown. Iyezo struggled to his feet, still clashing blades with Fien. They both then recoiled, and unleashed a flurry of attacks, neither one able to gain any ground.

Fien'Dur

Fien's attack was futile but the effort was all that mattered. Iyezo and Fien clashed blades with furry and intensity, both trying to win the duel. Fien stuck one end of his lightsaber in the ground and grabbed the hilt and used the momentum to kick Iyezo in the side. Iyezo was forced away by the kick causing him to loose his lightsaber. Fien saw the lightsaber to his left and pulled it to him with the force.

Darth Rachk

Iyezo saw his lightsaber rushing towards Fien's hand. He reached out with his right hand, fighting Fien for his lightsaber. The lightsaber stopped in mid air, and just hovered there, Iyezo and Fien were to evenly matched. While keeping focused on his lightsaber he brought out one of his small scythes, and threw if at Fien, he directed the pointed butt of the handle towards Fien. It was meant only as a distraction, being directed at a lethal point, his effort succeeded, and his lightsaber quickly flew in to his hands. Iyezo flourished his blades, as he took a defensive stance of ataru.

Darth Thrax

Fien'Dur

[I'm guessing you didn't watch the first star wars, because Darth Maul did something similar, but he was quick about it.]

Darth Thrax

[[Durasteel vs. lightsaber or grass vs. lightsaber... I'm betting that the durasteel lasts longer. Then again, it's just a guess. Rolling Eyes

]]

Fien'Dur

[Quit cluttering the duel with your opinions]

Both Iyezo and Fien were now famished from this long and relentless duel, but Fien wasn't ready to give up anytime soon. Fien darted forward, and in a moments blur, released an assault upon Iyezo with intense rage and anger. Iyezo was blocking the attacks and Fien took a second to realize that he needed to be patient, Fien held back and kept distance from Iyezo.

Neither Iyezo or Fien were prevailing in this brawl, so Fien was thinking strategically, and used the force to guide his instincts. Iyezo struck forward and Fien held the block and elbowed Iyezo in the face, breaking his nose.
Fien spun away and took the stance of Makashi, and readied for Iyezo to retaliate.

Darth Thrax

[[I am the GM of your duel so I suggest you take my opinion more seriously.]]

Darth Rachk

Iyezo recoyled in pain, he felt blood start to pore from his nose, flowing down his face in hot, red streams. Iyezo could see his nose from his right eye, because of how it was bent. He reached up to his face with both hands, grabbing his nose. He then twisted his nose in to place, he then stopped the blood from pouring out of his nose with the force. The two zabrak warriors each walked in circles around each other. They each left moderately deep foot prints in the moist forrest floor. The leaves in the tree rustled as a breeze blew threw the forrest, several of the furry green puff balls, naitive to Ruusan flew over head, and out of site high above the tree tops.

Iyezo reached out with the force seeing if there were any possible distractions. Then he came upon something, it was a kath hound. Iyezo was surprised to find one of these, since their indangered. A moff or possibly a hutt must have abandoned it there. He dominated the simple creatures mind and forced it to start running towards where they were. As it jumped out into the clearing, it barked then rushed towards Fien with mal intent. Fien turned around and ended the kath hounds life with a quick swipe of his lightsaber. It was all Iyezo needed, while Fien was still turned around, Iyezo jumped forward and kicked Fien in the back, causing him to trip over the decapitaded kath hounds body.

Fien'Dur

After the simplistic disposal of the Kath Hound, Fien stumbled forward by the kick Iyezo had given him.

Fien rolled forward and quickly came back to his feet and charged, slicing a tree as he passed. With a quick turn, Fien caught the tree with The Force and lobbed it Iyezo. Fien ran towards Iyezo in a blinding speed, and head butted Iyezo and then flipped overhead. The tree was still coming in at Iyezo after the head butt Fien had issued Iyezo. Fien stood behind Iyezo as he readied himself for the tree, and pulled the tree at Iyezo even faster with the force.

Darth Rachk

Iyezo recoiled from the headbutt. He saw the the tree was still comeing, towards him. With both hands Iyezo simply pushed down with the force, causing the tree to crash down to the ground and splinter, the sharp splinters were then lifted in to the air by Iyezo, and then shot them at Fien like blaster bolts, maneuvering them around his own body. Iyezo then dashed forward and force jumped in to the canopy of one of the trees.

Fien'Dur

Fien flourished his blades in a propeller like motion to cut down the oncoming splinters.

Fien looked up at the tree Iyezo jumped into and assumed that he was no longer there. Fien jumped up there and he saw nothing, he searched the area trying to find the hidden Zabrak. It was hopeless, Fien fell down and stood there waiting for Iyezo to make a move.

The wait was very time consuming and Fien's patience was running short. Fien was frustrated and lifted his head up and let forth an immense Force Scream that would drown out the hidden Zabrak.

Darth Rachk

Iyezo was maybe a kilometer away from the clearing, high in a large tree. He then heard a loud force scream, it was a high piercing noise, Iyezo's head began to throb. The pain was emmense. Iyezo lost his ballance, and fell down on to the branch, he clutched to the branch trying not to fall, but the branch was to wide and he couldnt get a good grip on it.

Iezo began to slide off the branch, he then fell to the ground. He staggared up then the scream stopped, as he looked up, he saw Fien glaring at him, only a few meters away...

Fien'Dur

Fien reached out at the Zabrak and began to Force Choke him, slowly lifting him up in the air. This was a battle Fien didn't intend to loose, and he would do anything to win. Iyezo was clutching his throat frantically trying to escape from the Force Choke.

After a minute of choking, Iyezo was getting weak and started to loose consciousness, at the point, Fien hurled him back with a force wave causing Iyezo to launch backwards crashing into a tree. Iyezo was now laying limply on his stomach as Fien sauntered towards him.

Darth Rachk

[[Umm, I was no longer 'fallen' I stood up and saw you]]

Iyezo saw Fien's boots getting closer. As they got closer Iyezo, hurled himself forward with the force, like a missile, driving the top of his horned head into Fien's stomach. Fien doubled over in pain as Iyezo fell to the ground. Fien clutched his stomach then fell to his side. Iyezo then tried to get up, his shoulders ached as he pushed himself up, he went to support himself with his knee, but the soil was moist, and gave way under the pressure. He tried once more to arise, as he staggered up, his quadriceps trembled from exhaustion. He used his deep hatred of the now dead jedi Ike Dulvin, to refuel his body. He heard the roar of falling water, he had to be near the river. Iyezo walked off at a brisk pace, trying to conserve his energy in the direction of the river, as he got closer the roar became more and more thunderous. He then saw the falls, they were beautiful, majestic, sight to behold. Iyezo walked up to the river and dove in, he swam beneath the falls, using the force to battle the current. As he emerged, he swam over to an exposed rock and heaved himself to the top, he then leaned back against the cold damp rock wall, his force presence hidden.

Fien'Dur

[Sorry, i edited it.]

Fien's stomach injury was slight but it bleed out, realizing that his horns had gone in, but not far enough to be a lethal hit. Fien stood and began to pace back and forth.
Fien looked around in search of Iyezo...he had fled away once more, to yet again prolong their battle. Angrily Fien shouted, "COWARD, COME AND FIGHT ME!" Hoping to draw Iyezo out of hiding.

Darth Rachk

Iyezo was breathing heavily now, his robes were soaking wet, and felt heavy on his body. Iyezo then got up, he nearly fell as his boots slipped on the wet surface of the rock. He tilted his head, he heard a voice, it had to be Fiens, but what was said was lost in the deafening roar of the fall. He looked around, to his right first, nothing but a continuous white heavy foam, then to his left. To his surprise, there was a cave leading upward in to the ground, Must lead to the top, Iyezo thought to himself, lets find out. Iyezo jumped over to the cave, not wanting to get back in to the cold water. As he landed, once again his boots slipped and he had to catch himself with the force. The next step he checked his footing, putting some of is wait on his right foot, wile keeping balance on the left one. After he had decided it was safe, he moved. Then he repeated the process. As he went farther the floor became dry, and the tunnel became lighter, there had to be an exit coming up soon. He continued on, the tunnel became steeper, then he found himself on all fours climbing his way up, he was finally there at the opening. He climbed out to find himself at the left side of the river above the fall. The river was about forty meters wide, Iyezo then walked over to the edge of the cliff, to see Fien emerge from the woulds, and stop by the river, Iyezo used the force to splash water on Fien.

Fien'Dur

Fien snickered at the splash, but quickly turned his facial expression because he wasn't sure what Iyezo was up to as he looked up to meet eyes with his cousin. As he looked up, Fien noticed the cliff he was standing was very fragile looking, and could be easily dropped with the force.

Fien ran and jumped over the river, now on the other side of it. Fien ignited his lightsaber and pulled the cliff that Iyezo was standing on with the force, causing it to crumple and fall slowly, Iyezo was still standing on the chuck of ground as it fell. Iyezo jumped up to catch himself on the ground up top, barely making it, hanging on by his fingers.

Darth Rachk

Iyezo, reached up and grabbed with the other hand, he slowly worked his way up to the top. "You may be able to crumble cliffs, but you cant move mountains," Iyezo shouted down, in zabraki. He walked farther up the river, beyond his cousins line of sight. Waiting for him to find his way up. As he waited, he regained his energy, while Fien could only struggle.

Fien'Dur

Fien looked around, curious to see how Iyezo made his way up the river and waterfall. "There must be a cave inside the waterfall", Fien thought to himself. But he wasn't going to be so expectant to go the same way.

Fien used the force and lifted three huge rocks from the river. Fien held them up in a stair like pattern, just far enough away from each other he could jump to each one and bring the other up farther. Using that, he progressed upwards in front of the crashing waterfall.

Fien made his final jump to the top of the cliff, and watched as the boulders fell back down to their original resting places, to sleep forever eternally. Fien focused on his priority, and strode forward to finish Iyezo.

Darth Rachk

[I only went as far as I needed so that you couldn't see me from the ground

Fien'Dur

[Your point?]

Darth Rachk

[You can see me when you get up on the cliff, no need for a search]

Fien'Dur

[But there was a time lapse. You just gonna stand there and watch me?]

Darth Rachk

[yeh, I got to rest and am ready to go]

Fien'Dur

[You gonna post?]

Darth Rachk

[Well Im like right in front of you so I dont know how to respond to you looking around completely oblivious to me]

Fien'Dur

[I edited the last sentence. Just so you know, the time lapse would be no longer than 10 minutes, at most.]

Darth Rachk

[I did]

Iyezo started to walk forward to meet Fien, he took out his lightsaber, and ignited both blades in a single flourishing motion. Fien returned the gesture, twirling his two separated blades. Iyezo attacked first, a powerful side strike, Fien blocked with both his blades, sparks flew. Still clashing Iyezo threw a side kick hitting Fien in his right shoulder. Iyezo then continued with a flurry of attacks, trying to drive Fien to the edge of the cliff.

Fien'Dur

Fien was fighting this battle with strategy, keeping in Makashi form being patient and keeping distance to wear out his opponent, and blocking with relative ease as Fien searched Iyezo's mind.

Fien blocked and looked behind him, he noticed that he was nearing the cliff and spun to the left, getting pushed back in a different direction now. Iyezo was now getting weary and fatigue looked like it was setting in again. But Iyezo wasn't the only one. Fien felt the blood start seeping out of his stomach, and tried to fight the pain. This battle wouldn't likely continue for very much longer, so Fien kept to his strategy, and parried Iyezo's attack in discretion.

Darth Rachk

Iyezo could see a crimson hew to Fien's robes, where he was bleeding. He then sheathed his lightsaber, he had a plan, but it was dangerous, if it failed Iyezo was sure to lose this duel. He closed his eyes, this caught Fien off guard, he could sense confusion in him. Fien then leaned forward with a direct stab towards Iyezo's stomach, but all he hit was air. Iyezo had disappeared, he was now behind Fien, Iyezo then punched Fien in the kidneys alternating hands with each punch.

Fien'Dur

[Umm...quick question. Since when could you teleport?]

Darth Rachk

[ever since I've had force travel on my profile]

Fien'Dur

[I was unaware. But the time you took to sheathe your lightsaber and focus on doing that, my stab would have already gotten you.]

Darth Rachk

[It takes less than a second to sheathe a lightsaber, and it came close to hitting me, like only centimeters away]

Fien'Dur

Fien took in the pain of the unexpected attacks and moved his right leg backwards and leaned into an elbow attack to Iyezo's face, and followed through with his face as he spun. Iyezo fell to his side while spitting blood on the ground, and looked back up to Fien just as he was kicked in the jaw.

Fien sauntered over to Iyezo with a glassy look in his eyes as he held his hand on his stomach. Fien, with only one lightsaber in his right hand, stabbed his lightsaber in the ground next to Iyezo, as he fell to his knees in pain.
