They took a time out from their sparring to check out the compartment. It was barely big enough for 2 people, but it wasn't what they could fit in that interested them the most, but what it already contained.
Inside they found three sets of Echani fiber armor and three personal energy sheilds. Feeling that these may come in handy they pulled them out and set them aside.
As Raezyr set the last bundle down on a table he heard Trychon's lightsaber ignite with the familiar snap-hiss. He immediately flipped forward over the table drawing his own blades as he landed.
What? You haven't had enough? Raezyr thought to Trychon, a grin on his face.
Trychon didn't reply but rushed in to take his friend off guard. This time he was determined to be the aggressor. Their blades clashed over and over, moving faster and faster.
Raezyr tried another kick but this time Trychon was ready for it, dropping down and going for a leg sweep. Raezyr realized to late, but as soon as his back hit the floor he flipped back onto his feet only fractions of a second after Trychon had completed his spin and gotten to his own feet.
They circled for a moment, taking the opportunity for a short breather. This time Raezyr was the first to move. He lunged in, feinting with the blue blade in his offhand. Trychon moved to parry, but reailzed his mistake too late, as Raezyr's red lightsaber nicked Trychon's left arm, cutting the sleeve and slightly into the flesh.
Rage flashed through Trychon and he felt the Force once again rise unbidden as it had before, only this time he directed the energy down his arm and through his outstretched left hand.
Raezyr felt the push coming from Trychon and strengthened his own defenses with the Force, attempting to deflect the incoming blow, but it was more powerful than anything he had felt.
The shockwave slammed into his body, shattering his defenses and throwing him across the room and down the hall behind him. His lightsabers deactivated as they flew from grasp. Raezyr hit the floor in the hallway and tumbled uncontrolled several more feet until he hit a bulkhead.
He pushed himself up to his hands and knees and tried to shake the cobwebs out of his mind. Raezyr looked up to see Trychon standing above him looking down.
"I guess now I've had enough," he said. Grinning, he reached down to lend Raezyr a hand.
Accepting his hand he stood up. "I guess you were bound to beat me sooner or later, but even the sun shines on a bantha's ass every once in while.
"What do you say to me getting to work on constructing some practice lightsabers so we don't cut someone's head off next time?" Raezyr said as they headed for the galley to get something to drink.
