@shroudofsorrow: Since you asked me to bump it, I will. And when I was referencing the "weird part" of this thread, I meant the three beasts. Adding in extra obstacles, to be precise. Oh, and which Zannah is this? It won't make much difference, though.
For the first round, Tenebrous all but stomps. He is significantly faster than Bane or Zannah, to the point that I would hesitate to say they could connect a single blow. Beyond that, he is simply a better telekinetic. Regarding dueling, none of them have any feats of note - the only person Bane has defeated in a duel was Sirak, who doesn't hold a candle to Tenebrous, and the only person Zannah has ever defeated was Set Harth, whom also doesn't hold a candle to Tenebrous. Given how he was implied to be around Plagueis's skill with a blade, had trained both him and Venamis, and was presumably a master of all the seven forms (he trained Plagueis, who trained Sidious), he does seem to be decent. Beyond that, he has fought hundreds of Kursid warriors with Plagueis before, using only force pikes yet both of them emerged unscathed. With that in mind, then I would honestly favor him over the other two as duelists. It simply seems more plausible, given how he was known to be a physical master and considering his position near the end of the Banite Sith line, this wouldn't be surprising.
Not that it would really matter since Tenebrous's vastly transcendent speed, supplemented with outright superior TK is more than sufficient to win him a vast majority, if not 10/10.
The second round - the only difference is that Bane is now impervious to Tenebrous's lightsaber attacks. That said, his Lightning would end Bane, considering how his usage of it left behind residual sparks for some time after he had used it. While the direct output of his Lightning is never shown, that feat alone corresponds to having better Lightning than Bane, and that would be more than enough to end Bane, as I said. That said, this fight doesn't change much since Tenebrous retains his enormous speed advantage. Even assuming he attempts a lightsaber attack on Bane first, neither Bane nor Zannah would be capable of responding with an effective counterattack because, again, Tenebrous is greatly superior in the speed department. That said, Tenebrous might recognize the Orbalisks given how I believe he may have been a recipient of Bane's Rule of Two text, and he did seem to have lots of knowledge on Bane, so there's always a possibility of him using Lightning from the get-go. If Bane attempts to use Lightning then Tenebrous would sent it back at him and Bane would suffer his demise at his own hands.
The beasts in the third round are irrelevant since they can't possibly hope to tag Tenebrous. If anything, they would simply serve as telekinetic material for him to throw at Bane & Zannah. While if they turned on Bane and Zannah, Zannah could potentially be hurt (although her sorcery would probably cause it be otherwise, but still).
For the shorter version, Tenebrous is simply vastly transcendent in speed, has superior telekinesis, and superior protection capability. His opponents' Lightning and TK are rendered irrelevant in this scenario simply because his Force Shield feat surpasses anything they have ever shown.
