Who: Lord Ferinus Corsai vs. Lord Phantom Armageddon
Rules: Standard GBA Rules
Similar scene to the end of Episode III though the world is being torn apart by the gravitational forces of gas giants Jestefad and Lefrani as they orbited closer and closer to the tiny planet. Massive cracks tore their way through the crust of the planet, opening steaming fissures that bled molten rock, looking like the life-blood of a bloated animal, into the landscape. Explosions shook the air as rock fractured under the titanic pressures, cracking apart and flinging debris everywhere. Every volcano on the planet trembled as the fiery maelstrom sough release, flowing along the paths of least resistance to find its way to freedom.
The duelists find themselves facing each other across a seething pit of fiery rage, explosions of heat and magma spewing from the raging depths of the planet. The ground shakes beneath their feet and the mountainside crumbles around them as the tectonic disturbances increase. A thunderous roar accompanies a deluge of magma and debris as the volcano erupts fully, joining with its fellows as the planet shouts forth its dismay at the presence of the two combatants, seeking to shake them off or shake itself to pieces in the effort. The spray of liquid rock splashes onto the side of the bubbling crater and begins its sluggish way down the mountainside to join the other streams of red fury far below. Screaming missiles soar through the air, fired from the bosom of the land to streak through the ash-filled sky like crazed meteors seeking a place to come to rest.
Structures from the lava mining facilities collapsed as their heat shields failed though independent units continued to function, most notably the small rafts that were used to gather the lava...
As the duel continues the mountains and landscape in general will disintegrate further, forcing the fighters to the lower ground and eventually out over the lava field itself....

*Heavy boots crunching the caked surface of the planet, bubbling magma in the distance with the occasional boom from one of the many vents along the planet. This would be a planet for resource, to use the molten slag for weapons and having his brother nearby was comforting. Once they had scouted here it would check it off a list and then production for weapons could begin.
Turning on his heel he clicked his right eye, surveying the landscape, his eye taking readings and measuring depths, heat and density. They would need a refinery here or at least one in space, it would lower cost and keep their hold on the planet secure. He wiped some sweat from his brow and turned to his brother*
"If it was not for rescources I would never come to this dump. I say we either set up shop here on the surface or get a forge built and secure this planet. Mine it for what its worth then leave a few traps here when we have picked it clean for any of the vultures who dare follow."
*His voice lightly cracked, the heat of the place was hard for any normal person to bare and yet here were two seasoned veterans finding themselves doing the work of droids and grunts. He spat on the ground, the spittle hissing as it evaporated away*
"Have you found anything worth noting yet?"

**Ferinus kept his hood up, though it was baking his head like a holiday roast. Beads of sweat coursed down his forehead, all the way to his chin, dropping only to evaporate in the air before finding any surface.
He kept his hood up to close his eyes, keeping the gases from making his eyes water. He stretched out with his mind instead, building a roadmap in his head from what the Force was showing him.
It was showing him a world in torment, a world threatening to split itself in twain due to the sheer power it attempted to contain. Ferinus felt the ground crying out.....not in terror, but in anger. This was a planet that only knew how to consume.
How funny it was, then, that everyone tried to turn it into a tool of production.**
"This planet's woes drown out its worth. I can feel its powerful cries all around us. They are in the rock, the dirt, the searing mass of magma stretching all around us. We thought the depths of Kamino would be a risky venture. This....this could be exactly what we're searching for.....or our greatest folly."
**Ferinus turned to Phantom curtly.**
"My advice would be to build the forge. Staff it with your infernal machines. Let them perform their tasks and suffer fiery deaths without a single drop of remorse. Nothing awaits living beings here besides death. History has shown that fact. Legends have preserve it. Our own deaths would cement it."
**Ferinus ground the heel of his boot into the desolate earth. He licked his lips and turned to where he sensed his brother stood.**
"Which brings me to my latest inquiry. Why are we here and not aboard the safety of a ship, surveying this accursed rock?"

*He turned, peering at the ashen sky and settled his eyes on his brother, the right eye turning back to normal and nodded, this place would be useless for any living species, the upkeep alone would be a pain but running droids that could use the light of the planet's magma and lava could create drones that could work infinitely.
"The forge is the best idea, we would need some orbital ships to protect it but we can have that arranged. If we need to hit a time frame then the forge needs to be done within the next few months. Same with the ships. We need a way to expedite the forge and the ships as well. Any thoughts?"
*Pressing his heel down he felt the surface hold, small spiderweb cracks forming with enough pressure and he nodded*
"We wouldn't be able to really understand this planet unless we were here ourselves though a bottle of tiahaar would be nice right about now, that or even water. Kinda makes me miss Kamino right about now"
*He chuckles as he turns looking over the sea of flowing red again, pensive and then spoke low asking only once*
"What is going on between you and my sister?"

**Ferinus looked up at the sky and nodded.**
"The best expedition is acquisition without all of the bothersome regulations of law."
**Ferinus' head snapped back down to face Phantom. For a moment, the Sith Lord tilted his head and stared at his brother for a good, long few moments. The question took him aback, but Ferinus could not call it unprecedented. He had known this conversation would arrive eventually, but he was ignorant as to what its extent would be.**
"Where do men's loyalties truly lie? With their comrades-in-arms.....or with the women in their lives?"
**Ferinus stepped away from Phantom, keeping his hood up.**
"It is nothing that should cause you any concern. She puts forth her advances. I am inclined to indulge them. I am a man. She is a woman. So on and so forth. The galaxy continues to revolve."
**He turned on his booted heel, his hooded face pointing toward his brother's.**
"What should rightfully concern you is if she was ever in danger, which she isn't. Killing her would serve no purpose, especially after I sensed the potential brimming within her."
**Ferinus finally drew back his hood, his onyx eyes staring curiously at Phantom.**
"It's not my fault I've always been the better-looking one."
**Ferinus walked slowly toward his fellow Sith.**
"Logic compels me to hold my tongue, but kriff it. You're being abrasive. So shall I."
**Ferinus stopped, crossing his concealed arms, staring Phantom down.**
"You're allowing your attachment to the girl cloud you. I am your oldest, truest ally, possibly the only one you have left. But if you want to play the part of protective sibling, then let us see it through to the end. As long as it passes from your system."
**The Sith Lord sneered.**
"What precisely is your plan to force me to comply to your wishes?"

"The law is always something I have...avoided. Either that or kill anyone that stands in the way of my gain, but you know that about me already. Its just simpler that way"
*He turned as he was questioned, from his loyalty to a brother who he had slain planets with and bathed in blood with to the then explination of the universe. What could be seen of the pale Nagian lords face was pale, marked as a latticework of scars burns and repairs. He did cock a smile as his hood pulled back seemingly with a force of its own. Shoulder length white hair blew freely in the hot dry gusting air.
His brother kept speaking, dodging the question, talking about allies and emotions and yet in nine words he had seemed to evoke such a rise from his brother it seemed there was much more under the surface and it would be dealt with swiftly and judiciously*
"If it takes a breath of words to bring you all this way around in your thinking then I question your loyalty and alliance should tides turn against me in this universe. We both know that owning the universe is futile, but I would trust whomever is by my side with my life however with your outcry at such a small request only shows to me that your investments, emotionally and physcially have turned and if that much is already changed, then what is there to say when we stand against the masses. I have no wishes, I was a hermit before and came out only to join you in the din of battle and yet you have shown me that first blood will come from us. Whatever happens after that is for the fates to decide"
*The thick scar cutting his face in two seemed to gleam with the sweat of his brow and light from the surrounding lava, his massive overcloak billowing behind him and his smile was wide to match the sneer that was given*
"I have devoured enemies whole, cooked over a spit or toasted along my sabers length but an ally. I will do you one honor and that is to satisfy you with bloodlust and when I devour upon your flesh, I will know that anyone else who stands against me will never measure up to you"
*Lips peeling back revealing rows of pointed teeth, his tongue sliding over them as his eyes narrow, the heat, the gusting wind, all of it now background noise. His beating heart, the cracking crust of earth beneath them both, only they were what he heard and it was deafening and yet he would not yield his senses, he never had and would not now. Between them both they had broken training grounds and temples with the onset of their training, they had taken entire areas just because they were bored. Both of them baptized in blood and death it seemed only fitting that this would be how they would end it and he would promise that it would be as no other just as he knew his brother would*
