[center][h2] Darth Hexxus [/h2][/center] I can see the fury building in Iwan's eyes. Normally, I would encourage this in order to destabilize him. But... it's actually working in his favor at the moment. That and, strangely enough, his words. Something about what he is saying is striking a cord with me; distracting me. I try to summon more power to overcome Iwan's blade lock, but I can't focus as well. Instead, I push his lightsaber to the side just enough for me to escape and roll away. [center][h2] Iwan Starsnow [/h2][/center] I start towards Gendry, not allowing him much time to recover. He was still more skilled than me, but if I kept him on the defensive, I could overcome. "Say their names! Who are your parents?! Say it!" [center][h2] Darth Hexxus [/h2][/center] "I don't know!" I blurt out in frustration, charging Iwan with an angry flurry of slashes. They weren't as accurate as they should have been though. My body was half a step behind my mind, or perhaps it was the other way around. I tried to concatenate on the fight, but all I kept thinking about was... growing up under Salazar Greshh' tutelage. He'd raised me for as long as I could remember, but what was before that? A spike of panic goes through me as I realize what's happening; I'm doubting myself. This... CLONE is making me doubt myself!! With an roar of frustration, I slam Iwan into the railing, pinning his blade to the side as I try to force him over the edge. "You're talking nonsense, you little shit! My mother and father were killed in a Republic bombardment. They died before I knew them!" I shouldn't have even entertained the topic, and I hated how desperate I sounded. "You... you were designed to trick me! Zar'kun is a clever man, but I'm not falling for it! You are NOTHING to me, CLONE!" [center][h2] Iwan Starsnow [/h2][/center] I deactivate my lightsaber, allowing Gendry's blade to cut through the railing, then I reactivate my blade and slash upwards. Gendry's head snaps back, and a ragged gash from the cover of his mouth to his right ear opens. He tumbles backwards onto the windowsill.
