Tapion sighs as Ryuko flies toward the damaged Separatist ship. "So we're going to be the big distraction for Skywalker and Kenobi?" Ryuko nods and smirks to herself as she quickly looks for a hangar. "Well yeah, we all know he's not gonna sit down while she's captured, but we'll also be trying to help her." Tapion sighs yet again and walks over to the weapon locker in the cockpit and grabs a minigun off of the wall. "Well this is going to suck. Juno, grab your rifle and let's get ready to go."

The white haired woman nods and grabs what looks like an extremely customized version of a standard blaster rifle for a clone trooper. "Let's go break some droids. Ryuko, hangar on the right." Everyone gets ready as Ryuko lands the ship in the hangar, watching as dozens of battle droids aim at the ship with their blasters. "This is where the fun begins I suppose. That flaming wreck to our left must've been Padme's ship." Zannah pops her neck and hits the button to lower the access ramp. "She's still here, not too far away actually, let's go."

The second the ramp hit the ground Ryuko and Zannah charge out of the ship with their lightsabers activated, cutting a path for Juno and Tapion as they blast away the droids surrounding them. "Remind me why I grabbed my rifle instead of my swords?!" "Because a challenge is more fun!" Zannah laughs at the pair as she pushes back a small wave of droids. "Ok you two, let's follow Ryuko into that corridor." She then points to the other side of the hangar, where Ryuko was busy being a whirlwind of lightsaber blades and cutting through droid after droid.

Zannah's jaw drops when she sees the droids actually backing away. "Is she actually getting the droids to surrender?!" She then face palms as the droids throw their weapons on the ground and raise their hands. "You know what? I don't even wanna acknowledge what just happened, push on girls."

Ryuko looks with wide eyes at the vast expanse of the railways before her and her friends. "Now I get a true feel for how big this ship is, hard to believe mine's bigger." Tapion lightly punches her in the shoulder and points her head up, showing her the hail of blaster fire coming from a few levels up. "Oh... Well there's the Senator." They all look up and then watch as Padme and C3PO jump onto different trains, making Ryuko face palm. "Juno, Zannah, go after the droid please?" They sigh and nod, jumping onto a train going the same direction while Ryuko and Tapion jump onto the train directly behind Padme's.

Once they finally make it onto Padme's train however, they find themselves face to face with General Grievous himself. Ryuko looks back to Tapion, and then points her eyes to Padme. "Yeah, got it, you go do your thing." Tapion then quickly runs around Grievous and stands in front of Padme with her minigun drawn. "What will that do Republic scum? A minigun will not kill me, you should know this by now." Tapion huffs and gives Padme the minigun, much to the Senator's surprise, and pulls out her lightsaber. "How about this tin man?"

"A lightsaber fashioned like a true blade, I will enjoy adding that to my collection when I kill you." Ryuko growls and activates her own lightsabers, holding them in a reverse grip. "You will do no such thing. Your crimes will not land you in a Republic prison, I will kill you here and now, and none of your droids are here to save your cowardly ass." The General growls and draws his lightsabers, while Ryuko turns back to look at Tapion and Padme. "Go, I've got this." Padme and Tapion both open their mouths to argue with her, but before they could Ryuko used the force to push them off of the current train and onto another one going in the opposite direction.

Grievous had no time to jump onto the other train due to how sudden the action was, and he looks at Ryuko with eyes full of hate. "I will take those white blades from your corpse and use them to destroy everything you hold dear!" Ryuko sighs and gets into her stance, giving him a dull glare. "You'll actually have to kill me first, and you'll find I'm more of a challenge than I look to be." Grievous then charges at her, swinging his blades in a mighty downward cleave that made Ryuko stumble slightly.

He then began his assault on the source of his current anger, throwing his lightsabers around in a sloppy but powerful string of attacks that forced Ryuko to be quick on her feet and rely on her stance's fluidity to deflect the force of Grievous's blows. "I see Dooku taught you little about dueling with your blades, that makes my job easier!" After Grievous's last strike, Ryuko locked blades with him and pushed him back, surprising him and giving her the opening the needed to go on the offensive.

Ryuko attacked Grievous with a flurry of quick and powerful strikes that the General could barely defend himself from with just two lightsabers, being forced to activate his two other arms and use those sabers to help defend himself as well. "What's wrong General? No battle droids to cover your escape?" They lock lightsabers once again, pushing against each other to try and gain ground. "I do not need those pitiful droids to kill you Jedi brat." "Well I don't see your guards anywhere either, you're not getting any cheap shots like you do with others."

Ryuko then back flips a few feet away, popping her neck and holding her hands out in front of her. Preparing to be pushed away and locking his feet to the train, Grievous was surprised as he finds himself being shocked by lightning coming out of Ryuko's fingers. This continues for a few seconds while Ryuko listens to his screams of pain, before she stops and lets him slump over, panting hard. "You're supposed to be a Jedi.. That.. That is a Sith technique, so how can you?.."

He stands back up as Ryuko slowly walks towards him, glaring dangerously at Ryuko. "I see now, you're trying to walk both paths. I'll enjoy seeing you fall into the darkness brat, if you live past today." Ryuko shakes her head and sighs, stopping where she was. "You're a fool General, I've already walked the path of light and dark, all I have left to do is get stronger and protect those I love." She then gives her blades a twirl before dropping back into her stance, awaiting the General's charge.

Meanwhile on a different train trying to catch up, Ahsoka and Anakin watch in shock as Ryuko holds her own, fending off Grievous even while he was using his mechanical parts to his advantage and spinning two blades in front of him while attacking the others. 'Damn, I guess we should've just gone back to the ship, huh Snips?" "Yeah, that's a little insane to be honest." Ryuko would continue to fend off the General's attacks, but soon she found herself in a predicament as the General swung two lightsabers at her left and right sides, forcing her to block and trap herself.

She would grit her teeth as the General cackled maliciously and pressed harder. "Not only will you fall to my blades, but I will hunt down the others that came with you and destroy them as well, and then move on to slaughter your people without hesitation!" Ryuko could feel a power bubbling up from within her, building up into a single point as she tensed her muscles. "You will do no such thing Grievous! I will never allow it!" Just as she finished a massive pulse of Force energy pushed out of her body in all directions, denting the top of the train and throwing Grievous off onto a different train going in the other direction.

She then falls onto her knees panting as Anakin and Ahsoka jump onto the train with her, chuckling slightly. "How's that, you fucking scrap pile?... Ugh." Ryuko soon falls over and loses consciousness, though Anakin quickly runs over and picks her up. "Come on Ahsoka, Obi-Wan rigged the ship to blow, we need to get out of here."

Ryuko groans as she wakes up, finding herself in a cot in the medical wing of her ship. "Fuck, I feel like I got ran over by a Separatist Dreadnought." She hears a chuckle off to the side, looking over to see Zannah, Juno, Tapion, and Padme, as well as C3PO. "I must thank you for saving my life, but fighting General Grievous alone was a very bad idea, he nearly killed you." The young Jedi Knight sits up and takes out the needles connecting her to various medical machines. "It was a single mistake, a mistake I will not make again. Next time I won't play with him, I'll kill him."

Padme looks at her with concern, sighing and walking over to the cot and resting her hand on Ryuko's arm. "That is not the Jedi way Ryuko, you know this." Ryuko looks at Padme with a dull stare. "I don't follow the Jedi code, I follow my own, and so far it's working." She then raises her other arm and makes small arcs of lightning shoot between her fingers. "I've walked the grey thin line between the Light and Dark sides Padme, I've got an understanding of both and no longer have a risk of falling to the Dark Side, but I need to get stronger if I plan to take on people like Dooku or his master."

Zannah steps forward and nods, a determined look on her face. "Same goes for me and the others. We could kill Grievous together, hell Ryuko could kill him with difficulty, but Dooku and his master are on an entirely different level, both in their experience with a lightsaber and their abilities with the force." Padme looks at Zannah in shock, and then even more shock as everyone else nod their heads in conformation. Ryuko slowly makes her way out of the cot and stands on shaky legs. "When the time comes, we'll be ready, we train and get stronger bit by bit every day, we won't lose."

Before they could talk more Matchstick ran into the room with a holo projector. "You've got a message from Duchess Satine, she says it's important." Ryuko quickly nods and takes the holo projector out of his hand, activating it and smiling a bit. "You're lucky, I just woke up. So what's up?" Satine sighs and shakes her head with a chuckle. "You and your casual responses. Anyway, since you're so close to them already, I've decided to make you a Senator representing Mandalore in the Republic on top of your other duties."

Ryuko's jaw drops when she hears this, staring at Satine in pure disbelief. "I think my hearing is going, you wanna repeat that?" This causes the Duchess to start laughing, though not in a mocking way. "You heard me Ryuko, this way you can help a lot of important decisions pass and hopefully be a big part in ending the war. Good luck, I know you'll do well." Before Ryuko could say any more the hologram shut off, causing the Jedi Knight to sigh. "Damn it, she played on my desires so well.. Fine, she's lucky I like and respect her for all she's done."

All of a sudden Ryuko's pupils dilate and go back to normal, doing this a few times before staying normal, but she had gone into a trance. "Ryuko? Ryuko, what's wrong?" Ryuko couldn't hear anyone's questions though, all she could hear was a rush in her ears along with scattered voices. "The nightmares, they're.. Over." "A sinister plot in the works against the Jedi!" "It's.. I-it's in here, in all of us, every clone." "Make us do whatever someone wants, even kill the Jedi, it's all in here." "He's in on it, he told me in the medical bay." "Stay back! Get away from me!" Then all she could hear was a blaster shot, and then nothing.

After her little vision, Ryuko fell to her knees and was panting hard, as if she was out of breath. "Ryuko! Quick, call a medical droid!" Ryuko quickly holds up her hand, slowly standing up. "Calm down, I'm fine.. I just.. Had a vision is all, something very important." Oddball and Matchstick look at Ryuko in concern. "What was it Ryuko?" "Yeah, any way we could help?" She looks up at them and smiles, nodding softly. "Yes, yes you can. I'd like to do multiple levels of brain scans on you two to see if anything is there that shouldn't be."
