Dark Tides Meet. (Duel, Janus v Silus Round 2)

Janus stood inside of the colloseum he had constructed. He had gone to a little out of the way planet, and constructed, by himself, and by hand, a colloseum for him to fight his oponents in. It had been a hard and arduous task, but at last it was complete.

The colloseum was completely circular, 200ft in diameter, and had 4 different terrains. 1 was desert, which took 1 forth of the colloseum, the next was bog, another forth, the next was rainforest, another forth, and the last was Janus' favorite. Water! The entire forth was part of a late outside, Janus had built his colloseum and left a forth inside the lake. It only got 3 feet deep, but that was enough.

Janus stood dead in the center, awaiting his oponent's arrival. He had sent Silus his coordinates, and now stood patiently...

A slow clap sounded behind Janus. A man stood there, dressed in black, shadows hiding almost all his features. He rested a leg on one of the benches on the colliseum, surveying the arena below.

"Interesting Janus. And yet, I'm unimpressed. What a waste of time, and credits."

Silus began taking steps down to the arena, before sitting at the edge.

"Of course, you always were a fool, weren't you?"

"Ah Silus, you have arrived. I understand it being seen as a waste of time from your prospective, but I see it as more proof of my greatness. As for the credits, it was completely free. All the materials I found on this island or on neightboring ones. I didn't pay a credit, I just took it. And if someone argued with me, they'd meet a fate worse than death!"

Janus smiled to himself, still not turning around.

"But then, you never saw how anyone could be 'great' did you?"

"No, you never did seem great to me. And you only seem to prove me right."

Silus waited a few moments before speaking again.

"So, why is it you wish to waste MY time as well?"

Silus knew the answer of course. But, he might as well test Janus' patience.

Janus had his mind closed to the young sith apprentice, but the sith had forgotten to do the same.

"You already know, as well, you should know that as a sith, I only use patience when it suits me, and now is not when it does."

Without moving, Janus set about his work. He focused on the force presence, the mind he was reading from, and set to destroy it. He sent him images, images of the worst horrors ever. It was illusion of course, Silus wasn't really thinking them, but in his minds eye, he was seeing them.

Silus began laugh.

"What are you trying to do Janus, give me nightmares? Ooh, I'm scared."

Silus stood up, slowly taking hold of the invisible ropes of the force.

"Now, off."

Janus soon found himself hanging a few inches above the ground, struggling for air. Silus tightened the invisible hold.

(Copying me I see? Well I suppose I should teach you how to get out of this one.) Janus said through the force.

He again focused on Silus' still open mind, ignoring the choke on his neck, he'd been through it before. He focused on the mind, but instead of sending him images he sent him something completely different. He opened his mind, creating a bond with Silus', then, he opened up his neuro pathways, allowing the pain of the choking to take affect. And, as he had expected, he felt Silus grip falter as he felt the pain in his neck, the choking. Then, Janus dropped and landed on his feet, as Silus lost his concentration.

"Nice try, but not good enough. I decided to test a new theory on you, and it worked, I now have a new move in my repetoire."

Janus finally turned to face Silus.

"You didn't truly believe that would defeat me did you? You may have been weak enough to fall to it, but I have the powers of a knight, though currently, I am a deciple. Its all in the name."

Janus closed his mind off again. He now concentrated on Silus' weapons, his lightsabers. He pulled them off their safe resting place on his belt.

"You won't be needing those."

The sabers went flying over the walls of the colloseum.

Silus quickly focused on the sabers, straining himself and stopping Janus from moving them. Concentrating, he brought them back to himself. He then looked to Janus, and used the force to send him into one of the colliseum walls. moving onto the arena, Silus lifted one hand and moved his finger back and forth as a parent to a misbehaving child.

"Now, now, Janus, it's not nice to steal."

Hitting the wall hadn't bothered Janus the least. He felt it coming and had created a force cusion behind himself before he hit.

"Now Silus, it isn't right to be a moron." He said in a mocking tone as he shook his finger at Silus. "If I had wanted to steal your sabers, I would have brought them to me, but I forgot your stupidity, and your predictability."

Janus brought up his right hand, and made a slapping motion. Silus was hit upside the face with a wave of the force, a little stronger than the average slap.

"Now try to get smarter, I know its hard, but you can do it."

"How...unamusing." Silus replied, keeping his head turned to the side.

He slowly moved it back, staring back at Janus. Though it couldn't be seen because of the shadows over his face, Silus slowly smiled.

"Feisty today. I wonder if it screams?"

Silus focused on two of the large boulders in the arena, and soon sent them flying towards Janus.
