Hey guys, welcome back! I don't have much to say here, so I guess you can just enjoy the drabble :)
"Fall back!" one of the clones shouted through the chaos. Those are the words Ahsoka Tano hated most. They were a sign of weakness and nothing more to her. She knew the orders were needed, but she hated them all the same. Anakin had always told her that sometimes you have to stand your ground. If that was true, then why were they always falling back?
Ahsoka pondered this thought as she engaged in a fight with Asajj Ventress. Her troops were out there somewhere, taking out Ventress's battle droids. "No master here to save you now!" Ventress laughed. The young togruta cried out as Ventress' lightsaber slashed across her arm. That's… gonna leave a mark, she thought. The two fought gracefully, slashing and blocking with perfectly coordinated strikes.
At some point, Ventress went as far as to slash at her face. Ahsoka, being a very skillful young padawan, easily did a flip over her, but not before Ventress could pull out her second lightsaber! Attempting to dodge the strike, the togruta did a force-enhanced flip, only to land in an awkward position, twisting her leg awkwardly. "Crawl back to your Republic and tell them what happened. I want them to see the true power of the dark side" Ventress exclaimed victoriously.
Ahsoka just stared at the ground in pure shock. Ventress kicked her stomach to see what she was going to do about it. Then a thought suddenly crossed her mind. What are you waiting for? Fall back! it said. Those words, "fall back". Maybe they meant something to her once, but not now. "No…" she whispered, forcing herself to her feet.
"I'm standing my ground!"
The two fought fiercely with some of the most advanced strokes their were. They could feel each other's power, the strength they held in the Force. Soon Ahsoka gained the upper hand, taking out both of her opponent's lightsabers and pointing hers at Ventress's neck. "Alright kid, you win this round," she said, pressing a button on her arm gauntlet, "but this isn't over". Ventress's ship landed square on the ground behind them, kicking up a cloud of dust. Before Ahsoka could react, Ventress jumped onto her ship and took off into the atmosphere.
The young padawan collapsed to the ground and sighed, relieved. She heard footsteps in the distance. Clones. Before she could process what was going on, she felt Captain Rex's hand on her shoulder. "Commander Tano, the droid army is in full retreat! Are you alright, Commander?" he reported. Ahsoka stood up and smiled. "I'm fine. Let's go" she replied triumphantly. "You do know I brought Kix, right? If you're hurt, you should just tell me" Rex protested. "Nah, let's get back to the ship first" Ahsoka said in the same, cheerful tone.
They walked for a while in complete silence. "So how was the battle? Sounded like it was interesting" Ahsoka commented after a while. "Yes, it was. But commander, how did you defeat Asajj Ventress?" Rex replied. Ahsoka smiled at that question.
"I stood my ground"
Amzoka's Corner
Wow… what is this, like my third oneshot of Ahsoka being hurt? *Sigh*, I promise, that was not intentional! Well technically its a drabble, but you get it.
