Vengeance chuckled at the notion of dueling two Acolytes at once. He found himself in this position more often than he really wanted to be. The response from Animus was even funnier. He turned to the Acolyte with a shake of his head.
"Not who is first." "More than one time I have stepped out of the safety of Sith Space and found myself fighting two Jedi at the same time." "Today you both get to experience the same thing." "You will both attack me and I will attack both of you." "If you are smart you will work together...................if not then one of you will end up sacrificing the other."
Vengeance lifted his saber saluting the two Acolytes taking up a traditional Makashi stance. Then Vengeacne shot forward thrusting out to impale Animus before turning and doing a diagonal left to right slash at Trystis' chest. He didn't expect either attack to really do anything but show how serious he was about engaging them both at the same time.

Animus was sitting as Vengeance's thrust came at him his initial reaction was to block but he did so with his water canteen which was shredded to pieces, quickly he rolled back and stood up, igniting his lightsaber but clenching his chest.... great... he was losing a lot of blood.
"You think i am some, Pup who needs help? " He clenched his saber and gnashed his teeth, grimacing through the pain... feeding off it, using it as fuel. Animus felt insulted, as if he needed help, as if alone he was nothing, Again the thought of T'zanith came to his mind,
*what if this was a real situation? and it was only him standing in the way of an Enemy? Would he be too weak to fight them off and have to run leaving his friend to die? He knew T'zanith was strong enough to fend for himself but what if he was wounded and Animus was the only thing that stood in the way? would the blood of his friends stain his hands because of weakness and impotence?*
Animus made gestures, ancient and old... A Twin of animus, then two. @Vengeance would see triple, but one of them was real, one of them was Animus, suddenly Vengence found himself surrounded by three versions of the Acolyte.
All laughing Maniacally and closing in with the exact same movements, Three blue blades would come at him, in the Dance of Juyo, the Dance of Aggression as Animus would pull no punches, He was facing a Knight of the Sith.... he would need to fight at his very best, clench through the pain, see through the exhaustion, and he did, through will and determination, If he was to die, let it be by the Hands of a Sith Knight, defending his friend fighting with all his heart and passion.
"Do not underestimate me!" All three Animus screamed as they came at him at the same time.

T'zanith looked at the other Acolytes and [member="Vengeance"] as they were to fight one another. When [member="Animus Malgus"] kept fighting the first thing that came to his mind was simply. 'He's an idiot...' He thought as he watched Animus fight through the pain all the while T'zanith sat bellow [member="Razor Shot"] comfortably leaning against a tombstone as he watch it all play out.
Half his focus was of holding himself together and trying to knit himself together with the force, the other was studying each combatant how they moved, how they fought, their feints and ripostes as well as their tactics. All the while most of T'zanith's focus was on Animus though mostly it was to study the man, he called T'zanith friend though T'zanith had no Idea of what that meant or why he was considered a friend in the first place but he did recognize the loyalty Animus had for him and that it could prove to be Animus's undoing in the future.

Trystis stepped backwards from [member="Vengeance"]'s strike, readying himself for the blow to follow, but it seemed like [member="Animus Malgus"] was about to take care of that for him. His threefold battle cry left Trystis's ears ringing.
Now he's three times as insufferable. Lovely. The Echani lacked the strength to conjure another Battle Meditation, though still he recognized an opening. There wouldn't be time for the Knight to react if he couldn't see the attack coming - and Animus had just provided him with the perfect cover.
Mind you, there was still a one and three chance of this merely stabbing his fellow in the back, leaving him to face the more experienced Sith alone. It was a risk he was willing to take, though. Aiming for Vengence through the back of what he assumed to be a phantasm, he hurled the metallic, bladed projectile in his hand with all the force and accuracy he could muster.

The follow through of his slash at Trystis had him looking at Animus over his shoulder. Vengeance shook his head hearing the Acolyte boast. Through the whole experience it seemed none of them had learned anything. They had failed to listen to what he had said choosing instead to hear only insults instead of guidance. Animus' little illusion though pretty looking was pointless as Vengeance had been looking dead at him when the other two version were created.
Vengeance appearing to look down glanced back towards Trystis seeing the hurled object. With a chuckle Vengeance turned slashing the object out of the air. As he did he dropped to one knee his saber flipping reverse handed in a thrust behind him to catch Animus, the real Animus charging from the same direction he had been to recieve the first impaling strike. As he did Vengeance extended a hand towards Trystis. Vengeance would focus through the force on Trystis' torso to squeeze and crush. Truthfully even for Vengeance it was a new level of ability for him and the crush would most likely be little more than a mild tightness.

Animus never truly expected the Illusions to work, just to distract him long enough for him to get close, They did not distract him, but [member="Trystis Ray"] attack did.
Animus did not expect the impalement, but once he saw the stance of Makashi he smirked grimacing through the pain, He was slow, his wombs made his attacks come awkwardly but the Pain forced him to focus, The Stab [member="Vengeance"] had executed slashed a Animus' cheek bone, ripping his face all the way back to his ear, splitting his earlobe in two and the smell of seared scorched flesh waved to his nostrils, but instead of backing off to a defensive stance or angle himself to avoid a deeper gash, His blue lightsaber went harmoniously to attack his neck.
It was Juyo, Pure offense, not defense. He was balanced, his lightsaber was too far in front of vengeance so, he held it horizontally in front of Vengance and bring it back in a Decapitating Guillotine motion, Then follow up with a front kick to the back of his head with the heel of his boot, to push his head towards the blade.
Animus now had something to remember the Knight by everytime he was to look at the left side of his face, Another Badge of honor to wear with pride, this once courtesy of the Sith Knight.

While [member="Animus Malgus"] was given a new scar, Trystis doubled over as a brief, sharp burst of pain lanced through his torso. His blade had been cut out of the air, the distraction provided by his unlikely ally's trick doing absolutely nothing to hamper the senses of the knight.
While the Force Crush hadn't been sustained, it was very unpleasant to experience. Trystis intended to respond in kind - a pulse of Dark Side energies that had been festering within him, a mental and physical attack of the most primitive and brutal sort. Although he didn't expect it to send a Sith rolling on the floor in agony like it might a common person, it hopefully would distract [member="Vengeance"] enough for Animus to lodge that Jedi toy of his somewhere very, very painful in his foe.

Vengeance pulled his saber back bring it straight up blade pointed down rotating his wrist out towards the Acolytes blade as he sprung towards he feet and forward. Just has the two blades connected the Blasted sent by Trystis hit the blades. Vengeance was pushed backed just enough to collide with Animus before he dropped towards the tip of Animus blade. Rolling has he did Vengeance kicked out to try and smash Animus' ankle before rolling to his feet.
He looked at Animus shaking his head seeing the blood pouring from various wounds.
"You are worth nothing to your fellow SIth dead." "Have your wounds tended to." "You fought well hold your head high." "It was a valiant effort."
Vengeance spun shooting a chain of lightening at Trystis before turning back to Animus not wanting to turn his back until he was sure what Animus was going to do.

Trystis couldn't just grit his teeth for Force Lightning - he had to make noise. And when he did, it was a loud, terrifying shriek of pain, echoing throughout the graveyard as he was hurled backwards into a tombstone. But, because he was Sith, he wouldn't relent. He struggled, getting off of his knees.
"Animus - don't let him deceive you! We can defeat him, but only if we both fight!" He shouted, smoke coiling up from his singed figure. Traditional attacks weren't working. He had to find another path. What [member="Animus Malgus"] did next was key. If he keeled over, he was dead in the water. If not - then maybe, maybe he could find an opening. Lunge in a distraction, tap a reserve deep inside him.
More than anything, he hated relying on others. But he would be a fool not to take advantage of his ally. Tilting forward, Trystis charged.

Zaiden immediately conjured a barrier between the three of them; using telekinesis he compressed air molecules until it was as solid as a brick wall. Shimmering as currents of wind touched it, the walls were more or less unseen.
Moving to Animus, Zaiden placed a hand on the boy and did several things. First, in a matter of seconds all wounds had healed themselves. Next, he used something he had only done once, a reverse Force Drain, to pump Animus and Trystis with energy simultaneously.
He did not give them more then they would regularly have, but he did bring them back to combatitve usefulness.
"I should have had you all healed before I began this bit of the session. There, now you are all as good as if it had barely just started." Zaiden said then stepped back, removing the force fields he had generated.
"My apologies Vengeance. I see how well you are doing, and do not wish to interupt , simply to be fair."

Animus was met by a wall of invisible energy, Who is this man? What kind of Power can he have to conjure something like that? Then He came forward to Animus but Animus was too dizzy because of the lack of blood that he could barely stand. He half smiled to the Knight's words, he could have killed him Animus knew, and then His story was done here, by the Hands of a fellow sith knight none the less.
Animus was about to head his words, sit back down next to T'zanith, and begin Peeling the Skin and Paws from Sand panthers for a special project he had thinking. Suddenly his wombs closed, his pain stopped, and his dizziness faded. How in the blazes did he do that? Animus was nearly dead! now all his wombs closed as if had healed over months! His eyes looked at [member="Razor Shot"] as if he was looking at a God with unlimited power, just then He blasted Animus with Energy and he could feel empowered and undefeatable!
"He's a god.." Animus whispered to himself under his breath "He's gotta be a God" Animus flexed his muscles and opened and closed his hands feeling the renewed strength and Vitality. In amazement and shock he started laughing as he twirled his lightsaber, if only I could have that power, Animus thought in his mind, the thought putting a halt to what he was doing. He looked seriously around him, to his Acolyte Brothers and Knight of the Sith.
No one would die! He continued his train of thought, i could keep those i care about from dying, be it in battle or anywhere else.
Animus' stance fell back into form... but this time, he adopted what he had seen Vengance do... Copying his footwork. Makashi. He might attack a little clumsy and his attacks were not as precise or adept as his Juyo but he would learn Makashi, In battle.
Animus bowed to [member="Vengeance"] in the manner of the Duelist. He turned to the white haired Acolyte and said "[member="Trystis Ray"], i hope you will leave me a few seconds with the Knight, i have something i want to learn from him" As he finished that sentence his eyes were locked on his opponent.
His head cocked to the side and he said "That style... Makashi? " Animus nodded before he came in for the attack. "Teach me"
He would not back down, I need to win... i need that power. It Is what i need to keep those i care about from dying beside me.

Vengeance looked puzzled when the wall appeared out of no where. He took the tip of his saber and racked it across the wall just for giggles. When the wall fell and the Master explained Vengeance shook his head.
"Since when is being Sith about fairness."
He was interrupted by a rejuvenated Animus who switched to the sloppiest Makashi stance he had ever seen and charged yelling something about wanting to learn Makashi. Vengeance side stepped tappign for a brief second in the force to speed the movement up Vengeance kicked out in a sweeping motion to try and take the Acolyte off his feet. As he did Vengeance would chop downward with the blade of his saber attempting to cut the Acolyte in half following it up by lifting his knee up quickly aiming to catch the Acolyte in the kidney. It if all worked out the chop would pass by an inch or two from his own knee.

Trystis was pleased when he found his strength restored. Less so when [member="Animus Malgus"] decided to make use of a form he didn't know, as though expecting a lesson in the middle of a duel. Not to mention the deification of Zaidan. Although he was potent, it was poor form.
If he was hankering for a fight, he might yell something along the lines of "Hey, don't forget about me" in a swagging, cavalier tone of voice while throwing bits of tombstone at [member="Vengeance"] with the Force. In truth, he was still hoping that his more enthusiastic partner would create some sort of opening.
Reaching out with one hand, he compelled a hail of stones to arc towards the Knight's head as he stepped away from Animus.

Animus followed [member="Vengeance"] with his eyes on his feet instead of his lightsaber. Weird looking footwork, the only thing he knew about Makashi was that it revolved all around it, Footwork. So when He Sidestepped Animus' legs did the exact same. Animus was great at following instruction and copying what he saw, it was the reason he was able to learn from fighting, so the display of Vengance was in itself a lesson. It was also the first time Animus saw Makashi preformed, so he paid close attention.
Animus was quick to dodge the lowkick by stepping back and lifting his saber then turning his wrist he came forward just in time for a knee shot to the stomach to send him reeling back as just in Time [member="Trystis Ray"] sent stones in their direction.
"Ok, maybe" Animus said taking a big breath and taking back the stance... Makashi again, this time a little bit less awkward, and a little bit more confident "That was a bad idea" His breath caught to him as he readied again.
