(Horned freak!!! who's he calling a horned freak)

Was the thought that ran through his mind. His anger surging as he continued to dodge one slash after another with speed rivaling Rusty's. But Malice took a wrong step and the jedi managed to catch him on his left arm. It was only for a second until Malice pulled away, still enough to leave a burn mark and the smell of burnt skin in the air. Using the pain running through his left arm as power, Malic shot out a strong force push that flew Rusty backwards.

Getting his stance he called his saber to him and ignitedboth sides as well.

*Ohh is that so. Then you wouldn't happen to know a wanna be sith that goes by the name of Karatoga. Yes he had very bad manners, unliking by us other sith, so we had him kicked out*

*Indeed he seems to know you and.......fear you too. Another trait which makes him unworthy of being a sith*

Malice now on the offensive charged Rusty. Making quick slashes of his own aimed at certain parts of the jedi's body.

Rusty was pushed backwards and fell, flipping as he did, and managing to land back on his feet. He again began circling Malice. Malice was strong, but Rusty knew he could win the fight. Karatoga...where have I heard that name before? crossed his mind over and over again

"I have heard that name before. Unfortunately, I must say I don't know him. As for him being kicked out of your group...I can not say that is much of a loss."

Rusty continued circling, waiting for Malice to make the first move. Rusty hatred for the Sith adding to his power. He was Rogue, but he hid his darkness, refusing to let it overcome him

Malice too started moving in a circular motion, matching each of Rusty's steps.

*Well it matters not if you know of him or not. I have come to see if his pitiful tales of you were true. Quite frankly....i'm found rather dissapointed in you*

Malice ran at Rusty swinging his saber for the jedi's chest. Their saber's locked and a pushing game began. Neither one gaining ground.

*Hmm....so your stronger then you seem. Maybe this will be interesting afterall*

Using force sped Malice pushed off Rusty's saber and shot a knee up hitting him in the gut. Quickly he jumped back and got into a deffensive stance. The sith figured he would test the jedi before unleashing his full dark abilities. Then the jedi would die.

OOC: Argh, sorry about not replying, RL has kept me busy.

IC:

As fast as the Sith moved, Kahn was ready. He had his lightsaber out and ignited when he saw the Sith move his into an offensive position. Ready for either a slow or quick attack, he moved the saber in a blur to block Daegal's stab and push away the saber from his body to the left. Moving with this momentum, the Jedi swung his lightsaber low at the Sith's ankles, ready to jump back if his opponent tried to jump and kick him.

Rusty began circling again, as the pain in his gut subsided. The kick was rather harsh, but Rusty was trained in the healing arts. He read Malice as he thought

"Disappointed? It is not my job to entertain you. However, if you wish to kill me, I am afraid that you will indeed be disappointed."

Rusty channelled the Light within him and got faster, raising his strength only slightly. He doubted he would lose this duel. He felt he was stronger, and smarter, than this adversary. Rusty charged Malice starting another pushing match, this time however, Rusty was the one to deliver a kick to the shin, stepping beside Malice, and elbowing him in the face before Force pushing him.

Daegal blocked the low strike. The two sabers clashed against each other sending a rain of deadly sparks slowly to the ground. As the sabers are held in a lock, the two force users both pushing with all of their strength, Daegal sees an opening. He brought his left leg up and delivered a powerful, force enhanced, kick to the Jedi's midsection.

The Jedi knew he couldn't avoid the kick without making himself more vulnerable to a potentially deadly saber attack, so he tried his best to let the kick carry him without taking too much of the blow. However, as he landed a few feet away, Kahn knew he'd have several large bruises on his stomach afterwards. Standing up quickly, his saber in a defensive position, the Knight advanced with a sudden quickness, dealing out several saber blows that the Sith blocked. However, the lightsaber was not his true attack weapon at the moment. Tapping even deeper into the Light Side, the Jedi Knight called up a strong wind around the two combatants. His face furrowed in concentration, Kahn sent a sudden gust of wind at the Sith, at the same time slashing with a particularly hard saber slash at his right arm, while also hooking his right leg around Daegal's left ankle and jerking hard. Hopefully, the combination of this would force the Sith to loose his balance and provide a larger opening for an attack.

Being pushed back by the force push Malice quickly regained his footing. Looking at the jedi, Malice wiped the little blood that trickled out of his nose. The pain he felt was only being absorbed and used to fuel his evil power.

*If your thinking you can beat me jedi then your horribly wrong. You have got talent i'll say that...but your on the wrong side of the force. Come to the darkside Rusty, you would have so much more power, you would only have to look at your enemies and make them quiver in fear. The darkside is the true way Rusty, embrace it's unbridled strength*

Malice bgan to circle Rusty. The sith drawing on the his anger and hatered, building up for his next attack. Within moments, blue sparks could be seen moving along his fingertips. The darkside in him building with every second. Malice quickly sent a force message to Daegal.

*My brethren, having fun. These foolish jedi don't know just ow badly they will loose today. But i warn you, do not underestimate Kahn. Given the chance he can be a formidable opponent. Also being one who was formally with the darkside he will know what attacks to expect from you*

Malice now layed his dark blue eyes on Rusty. The jedi would soon feel the power of the darkside surging through his very being....literally.

Rusty crouched, allowing the lightside around him to form a shield. He heard Malice's message, and stayed crouched, shielded from attack as he spoke

"The Darkside? I must admit...it looks tempting...you get a bit of lightning...could be interesting...now, who's to say that when I take you up on that offer, you won't turn around and kill me? Everyone knows Sith can't be trusted. And, you, apparently, aren't different."

Rusty maintained his shield of light

"So...shall I take you up on it...that depends...are you gonna kill me when I try to propose a truce?"

Malice grunted at Rusty's reply.

*I am ever loyal to my fellow sith brethren. Should you decide to be one of us then yes, i would accept your truce. I am one of the few sith who live one honor, especially during battle*

He grinned as Rusty mentioned about the lightning.

*Indeed itis ineresting. You could weild such power, you only have to embrace the darkside and it's endless strength and power will be at your hands*

He continued to draw on the darkside, letting the energy build up.
