Nadia ducked Alek's swing and came up behind him. She twisted her lightsaber to the left of Aleks back, but the boy Jedi deflected her lightsaber with ease.
Nadia swung her lightsaber left and right, right after each other. Her lightsaber was a viridian blur. But Alek's lightsaber was also a blur as he deflected her blows.
The female Jedi danced away as Alek came on with stronger attacks. His blows were deflected at every turn. Nadia glanced up at the clock. Two minutes. She had three minutes left.
Nadia twisted around, aiming a kick at Alek's stomach. Her foot made contact with him, sending him skidding to the side slightly. Alek glared at Nadia, but Nadia just smiled in response as she tightened her grip on her new lightsaber.
Alek ducked a swing of Nadia's first blade, but popped up and held his blue blade up to her viridian blade.
That put Nadia off balance slightly and then she felt a kick to her stomach, knocking her down to the floor. Her lightsaber clattered from her hand as she took in air, trying to get her breath back.
Force, she hated it when that boy did that!
Speaking of which, Alek had his blue blade pointed at Nadia's neck. The girl's eyes darted over at the clock. 7:25. She had less than a minute.
"Give up?" Alek asked her his voice showing his smugness at beating her, yet again.
Nadia didn't respond as her eyes went to her lightsaber for a short second before back to Alek. She gave him a smile, "You know what, Allie-boy…" Nadia started to say.
Then in an instant she pulled her lightsaber to her hand and jumped up, her viridian blades coming out and slicing at his lightsaber.
Surprised at her sudden movements and the force of the viridian lightsaber blade hitting his own blue one sent the lightsaber flying from his hand.
Nadia's viridian blade was a fraction off of Alek's chest, "I'm gonna have to go with a no on that one." The girl said, a smirk on her face as the timer chimed for five minutes.
The look on Alek's face was priceless. It was a mixture of shock, surprise, annoyance and… was that… anger?
"Alright. Lightsabers down!"
Nadia gave a wink to Alek as she deactivated her lightsaber. Alek rolled his eyes at her as he used the force to summon his lightsaber to his hand.
"Alright, back to your seats." Vrook told Alek and Nadia gruffy.
The two Jedi gave each other a short bow and then made their way back to the seat where Revana was sitting.
Revana gave them a small smile, and then her hand went to her face to cover a yawn.
"Good Job Nadi." Revana said, yawning again.
"Great. So you gonna tell us?" Nadia asked as she sat down next to Revana.
Alek didn't say a word as he sat down on the other side of the brunette Jedi. Revana nodded her head, "Sure." She said with a grin.
Then Revana took in a breath, "Dorak is preparing me for the trials!" she said with a grin, ignoring the two combatants on the floor in front of them.
"Wow!"
"Congratulations!"
Revana grinned more at her friends words of approval.
"Thanks guys!"
4 months later
"Ah!" Revana gasped, jolting up in her bed, her eyes wide and her heart hammering.
Her eyes darted around the room, her heart only returning to it's normal pace when her mind worked it out.
She was in her bedroom.
Not fighting a war.
She was with Nadia, Allana, Sasha and Bastilia.
Not fighting and killing Mandalorians.
She was safe.
Not losing friends to death.
Revana let out a long breath as she lowered herself down in her bed. She shut her eyes and prepared herself to go back to sleep.
The next morning, however, she was restless. Revana paced from wall to wall in her bedroom.
"Hey, Rev."
Revana let out a sigh, turning her head to see Alek standing in the doorway.
"What, Alek?" the newly knighted Jedi asked.
Alek didn't say anything as he entered the room and sat down on the bed.
"What's gotten you into a twist?" he spoke finally after he had gotten comfy on Revana's bed.
Revana looked at Alek, a glare on her face, "I am not in a twist!" she spat out at him.
Alek rolled his eyes at her, making Revana slow in her pacing.
"Look, Rev. I know the Mandalorians have upset you…" Alek started. Revana moved to open her mouth, Alek continued to talk, "But, they aren't a real threat. They've only taken control of a few villages on some outer rim planets. It's not like it's going to start a war."
At the word 'war' Revana turned away from Alek. She knew, deep down inside of her, that Alek was wrong. She knew that this small conflict in the outer rim would turn into something bigger. She knew that it would turn into a full forced war.
"Rev? Got anything you want to share with me?"
Revana let out a sigh, "Alek." She started, "This will turn into a war. I had a vision last night. The Mando's will try to take over the entire galaxy."
Alek gave a frown, "You sure about this?"
"Yes."
"Positive?"
"Yes, Alek!"
Alek nodded his head, "Ok, fair enough. I believe you. But you heard what the council said on the matter." He said before clearing his throat and pinching his nose, "The Council believe that it is in the best that they keep out of the Mandalorian business for the time being as we do not think that they are a real threat."
Revana rolled her eyes at him, "That's not their words exactly, but yes. I know." Revana let out a sigh, "But… I do not care what they say. We will go to battle against the Mandalorians!"
Revana…" Alek let out with a strong sigh.
"No, Alek!" Revana interrupted him before he could say any more, "I am not sitting by as the Mandalorians take over the Galaxy! I don't care what the stupid council says! If we don't do anything, the Republic will be crushed!"
Alek sighed, "Rev!" he tried to calm her down, his hands out stretched towards her, "I agree with you! Alright?" he told her.
Revana stopped her pacing and looked to Alek, "Then why? Why won't you fight?"
"We're only two Jedi! What can two Jedi do against thousands of Mandalorians?" he asked, logically.
"We don't have to be just two Jedi!" The brunette Jedi declared, "We could recruit some of the other Jedi! Try… Allana, Siseri, Yarin, oh, and Nadia. I know they'll want to help! And I'm sure that there will be other Jedi who want to help."
Alek gave a laugh, "Alright, Rev, but only because you won't shut up about it, otherwise." He said with a smile.
"And you know it!" Revana replied with a laugh, poking her tongue out at him.
I know it's been a while, but I just couldn't finish this chapter. But I finally did. But it seems (to me) a bit bleh.
Thanks for reviewing!
