Luke had indeed grown more powerful as he had said. Once their lightsabers were active he came at Ezra spinning his saber dangerously in a propeller like motion. Ezra lost ground greatly as he attempted to impossible parry the propeller. Luke was driving him back to the control station, they were off the landing platform now, going across a small bring hanging over an ominous lava lake. Ezra looked down at it and was struck with a feeble idea that he might only give a twenty five percent chance for a success rate as Luke was nowhere near incredibly stupid. Ezra turned back to his former master and plunged his saber at his master's spinning blade. He stopped it instantly, Luke looked at him and growled in anger. Ezra hit the saber away and then slashed at Luke's right side, Luke raised his saber and parried. Both blades locked.

It was now or never, Ezra could either try his idea now and possibly end the fight or let it continue. Then he sensed something, Luke would kill him today, it was so inevitable and the feeling was so incredibly strong Ezra could have fallen to his knees. An equally intense feeling of determination washed over him, if Luke was indeed going to kill him he was going to give him everything he had. Ezra broke the saber lock by spinning and attempted a Force assisted roundhouse kick to Luke's side, the new Sith Lord ducked and he missed. When Luke arose once more he began to deliver a series of incredibly fast strikes, causing Ezra to give ground.

Perhaps Ezra was battling halfheartedly. The man before him was like his best friend, his mentor, his brother.... Luke on the other hand didn't hold back whatsoever. All of his blows were potentially devastating and Ezra had somewhat of a difficult time parrying. This was like one of their practice sessions where Luke had decided to try out new moves, the only thing different: they were now in a building stepping past dead droids, and Luke sported a blood red lightsaber, a black cloak, and a bloodcurdling pair of hideous yellow eyes. Luke launched into one of his old forms then as Ezra gave ground and decided to launch into the Lukee one as well.

They spun, hit, spun again, his spun once more and slashed at the head, they hit again, they pulled back, spun and stabbed and then missed each other. They back flipped and slashed at the waist, their sabers met yet again, finally they pulled away, realizing matching one another so closely was not going to work.

Ezra thought sadly: It was Luke who did this, it was Luke that committed murder.

Perhaps this thought finally made Ezra realize that Luke was no longer his friend, or his brother. Luke was now a heartless, maniacal, blood thirsty Sith Lord. This thought rekindled a fire in Ezrathat drove him to fight to his fullest potential. Ezradoubled his attack, causing Luke in surprise to lose ground, the backed towards a control council and were standing next to it when the lightsabers locked. Once more a battle of strength ensued. Luke versus Ezra.

Ezra was the victor.

Ezra pushed both of their sabers down into the council it erupted with sparks and then something horrible happened, a hum that once went unnoticed became evident as it faded, a door revealed a balcony on the other side of the room, and alarms began to wail out warnings. The lava protecting shields surrounding the base were gone. It was now only a matter of time before the entire place came down. Already it was much hotter and the Jedi and Sith Lord found themselves drenched with sweat. Ezra used Luke's temporary distraction to his advantage. He flipped over his former master, dropped to his back and grabbed Luke's back, pulled him down to his foot and tossed him over himself. Luke landed on a holoprojector table, glowing blue. Ezra leapt back to his feet and jumped onto the holoprojector and raised his lightsaber for a killing blow. Luke was disarmed but he could not as Luke destroyed his Purple lightsaber

"You hesitate," Luke bit. "The flaw of compassion!"

"You are arrogant," Ezra shot back. "The flaw of hate!"

Luke growled and broke the saber lock but before he could strike again Ezra boot shot into his chest. Luke fell over the railing. Ezra watched as he landed on a lava collection arm. Ezra jumped down after him and drove his master to the very end, spinning and slashing and striking. They matched one another perfectly.

They reached the end as a massive jet of lava shot up, raining down on them, they were forced to take cover on either side of one of the arm's giant collector fins. Lava rained down cooling slightly in the air. Pieces of semi molten rock fell upon the Jedi and Sith Lord, singing their clothing or burning holes through several layers of fabric. Ezra watched in horror was one last jet of lava sprang up and spread over the control arm, cutting its support cables. The arm buckled and with an earsplitting sound of tearing metal the arm began to fall, Luke and Ezra were forced to run upwards. Ezra in front of Luke, he occasionally turned around this slash but Luke always parried those simple move.

Finally the arm became totally vertical. The Jedi and the Sith held onto the side for their lives as the arm hit the lava, floating on its collection fins. They began to float rapidly down a lava river, past droids on shielded floating platforms collecting rare minerals from deep within the river. Luke looked up, his eyes now half red, half yellow, he attempted the strike but he was to far away and his red lightsaber added another scorch mark to the collection arm. Ezra gasped in horror as they came upon a lava fall. He looked around frantically for something, anything to save him. There was a floating shielded platform quite a distance away, hovering only a foot above the river. It was his only choice, gathering the force around him Ezra propelled himself through the air, striking as he flew past Luke and towards the small platform.

He landed on it hard, causing it to sink slightly into the molten rock, but it came back up and a held his weight, it began to float down the opposite way. Ezra glanced back at Luke, as the collection arm reached the edge and began to fall over. All he could make out was a small blue blade that was running toward the end of the collection arm. Ezra watched as the lava did what he could not, just as the arm was about to fall the arm failed to kill Luke, he leapt off and landed on a small collection droid, he regained his balance and came straight for Ezra, he boarded the small platform and being stationary with little room to maneuver the former best friends continued their fight.

Luke struck at Ezra head, he parried, Ezra struck low, Luke did the Lukee. All the while the platform traveled up river. Finally Luke's blows ceased, he lowered his lightsaber. Ezra thought for a moment he was going to surrender, but he quickly dismissed the though. He kept his saber at the ready as Luke began to speak, looking at him hard with those hideous yellow eyes.

"I have failed you my friend, I have failed you." Ezra said,

"I should have known the Jedi were plotting to take over." Luke cried over the roar of another volcano erupting, he took what Ezra said the complete wrong way.

"From the Sith?!" Ezra asked incredulously. "Luke Emperor Palpatine is evil!"

"From my point of view the Jedi are evil!" Luke retorted.

They stood there looking at each other for perhaps the last time. Ezrasensed a bank he could retreat to behind them.

"This is the end for you my friend." Luke bit.

Ezra broke his immobile stance and swiped at Luke before leaping back onto the lava bank. Luke growled in rage and used the Force to stop the platform.

"It's over Luke!" Ezra cried. "I have the high ground."

"You underestimate my power! I can't wait to tell your sister Mara on how you died." Luke shouted.

Ezra sensed what he was about to do.

"Don't try it." He said.

Luke ignored him and flew into the air, he landed next to him on the lava bank and was about to strike but it was too late. Ezra saber came up and burned the right side of Luke's face horribly. His saber came down then and then sliced Luke's left leg off with ease. Luke cried out in pain and dropped his lightsaber at Ezra feet. He rolled halfway down the lava bank and passed out from the pain. Ezra stared at him, it would be merciful just to kill him, but Ezra did not feel merciful today, he turned his back to leave as the lava level of the river rose ever so slightly, perhaps it would do what Ezra could not.

"I HATE YOU!" Vader said as Ezra walked away to his ship as he grabs his hidden lightsaber and ignites it as a purple blacklish lightsaber blade came as he deactivated putting to his right hip.

"I...am sorry Luke." Ezra said walking away until he stopped and turned and walked back picking him up

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!" Luke yelled

"Saving you." Ezra said

"I HATE YOU!!!!" Luke yelled as Ezra smirked at the response

"I don't care your a brother to me I forgive you." Ezra said as Luke looked shocked
