Dantooine Temple Duel

"I can feel Ganner in there. How long do you really think you have before he wins?

“Much longer than it's going to take me to kill you.”"

- Yula Ardinn and Darth Massikus just before their duel.

 was a duel between Darth Massikus, Galen Slarwalker, Arek Saris, and Yula Ardinn in the ruins of an ancient Jedi temple.

Leading up to the duel, Darth Massikus had taken control of Ganner Slarwalker's body through the Binding, and was hunting down his allies, Bail Malakath, Tyrral Thraxton, and Yula Ardinn. He had killed the first two despite Ganner resisting his control, and he chased Yula, who had stolen his ship, to Dantooine intending to finish her off.

At the same time, Arek Saris, under orders from his master Varad Zagg to kill Massikus, followed Massikus' shuttle to Dantooine and followed Yula to an ancient temple's ruins. There he learned that he was following Yula and not Massikus, but he engaged her anyways. The two were evenly matched, and the duel seemed to be a stalemate until Massikus arrived, angered by Saris' presence, and attacked Yula. He easily overpowered her, and was on the brink of killing her when Ganner finally managed to truly regain control for just a moment in order to save her. In his moment, Saris took his opportunity to stab Ganner, and Yula ran away.

After Ganner was wounded, his father, Galen Slarwalker, arrived at the scene and attacked Saris, easily defeating him. He left to return home with Ganner. Meanwhile, Yula, whose escape had been tracked by Moras Hedinin of the Brotherhood, was captured by Taran Ragnan and a small crew of mercenaries.
