Chapter 10 Battle of Geonosis
A dozen of people were brought to the arena as well as three beasts. One of them, Nexu, jumped on a person and swallowed him. One of the monsters looked like a triceratops and the last beast had four very long legs which were very sharp at ends. The three monsters were slowly destroying the people in the arena but fortunately the four Jedi managed to escape. They were now standing and looking at the monsters. Nexu liked Ahsoka and jumped on her but Anakin sent the feline away. The cat hit the rock and got smashed.
Another beast attacked Jedi Masters. However, they found two sticks from two dead people and stabbed the long legged beast in the throat. With a terrible scream the creature fell on the ground. The last beast, the rhino run at the group but the Jedi split up and the beast got confused.
"Dooku, kill them!"-Nute Gunray shouted
"Don't worry, they will die". Count Dooku pointed at the prisoners and droids slowly entered the arena. Their number was very large and they were about to crash the Jedi. However, an unexpected thing occurred for Dooku. A purple lightsaber got activated and was now at his neck. Count saw Master Windu standing and looking at him. Then, many Jedi activated their lightsabers and jumped in the battlefield. Mace saw Jango Fett, who started firing at him, which made Mace jump in the arena as well. Padme also decided to join the fight.
A couple of Jedi threw five lightsabers for the group and now they started fighting with droids. The number of clankers was much bigger than that of Jedi and many Jedi were being killed by the droids and the bounty hunter.
Siri fell on the ground and Jango flew to shoot her since she was now an easy target. Obi Wan saw that Jango was shooting at the woman he loved. He stood between Siri and Jango, deflecting bolts. One of reflected blasts hit Jango's flying equipment and the bounty hunter fell on the ground. He continued shooting at Obi Wan but the Jedi Master's defenses were very good. Jango was shooting and shooting and he was walking closer to his opponent. Soon he faced Obi Wan and the two men started hand to hand combat. Jango defeated Obi Wan and the Jedi fell on the ground.
"Now, Jedi, you will face your doom!" Jango took a knife from his pocket but before he could do anything a green saber went through his stomach,. Obi Wan saw his love, Siri, saving his skin. The Jedi master got humiliated.
"I remember the times then you saved my life many times, now I saved yours"
"I could have handled him myself" The young Master protested.
"Of course you could. Now, get up and let's continue the fight"
The battle continued but soon many Jedi fell to the ground. The remaining ones made a circle and droids stopped firing. Count Dooku looked at the battle and spoke. "It seems that you are defeated, my friends. Mace Windu, acknowledge your defeat and your lives will be spared"
"We will not surrender"
"In that case, good bye my old friend"
But before droids could shoot, many ships arrived and Master Yoda looked at the Jedi. He told a clone trooper to get the survivors. The real Battle of Geonosis has started. A ship with Anakin, Obi Wan, Siri, Padme and Ahsoka followed Count Dooku. He flew towards a station, where his ship was stationed. The Jedi followed him there and soon were facing Dooku.
"It was a big mistake to come here, young Jedi. Now you will face your doom."
Anakin jumped at Dooku and as he was about to get electrocuted, a green saber came out and absorbed the lightning. Dooku laughed and produced an even stronger lightning, which broke the defenses of three youngsters, who fell on the floor in pain. Obi Wan and Siri walked towards Dooku.
The sith lord sent more lightning but now the Jedi Masters could withstand its power. Dooku took his lightsaber and activated it. A red blade entered the room and was now facing the Jedi. Dooku, Obi Wan and Siri started fighting. The two Masters saw that Count was great at lightsaber dueling and he was giving them a hard time.
Dooku was fighting and after a while kicked Siri in the stomach and then Force pushed her away. Now Obi Wan was the only one left to fight the Sith Lord. It was difficult for him but Obi Wan's defenses were formidable. However, Count was still Obi Wan's superior and with a couple of hits defeated Obi Wan. The Jedi Master fell on the ground.
As Obi Wan was about to get killed, Anakin, Padme and Ahsoka jumped and defended him. Count laughed and with ease Force pushed Ahsoka away. Then, he fought with two padawans, soon overpowering Padme, whose lightsaber got destroyed. Count Force pushed her away as well.
Anakin got very angry. He took his Djem So stance and made a couple of extremely powerful strikes. Dooku was now in trouble. The former Jedi retaliated and walked away from Anakin. Young Skywalker followed and continued his powerful attacks. Dooku knew that soon he needed to come up with a plan or else he would be defeated. Dooku used one of his arms and sent a force lightning at the girls. Then, he lifted Obi Wan and threw him towards the wall. The Jedi Master flew helplessly and upon impact fell on the floor again. Now, however, he lost consciousness.
Anakin got somewhat distracted and Dooku used that to his advantage and cut Skywalker's hand. After that he threw Skywalker towards the rest and got ready to get into his ship.
"Dooku? I remember than you were against everything you are now" A person entered the room and Dooku recognized the speaking Jedi.
"I was your Master and I always was your Superior. You cannot defeat me, my former apprentice!"
"Go you will not. Stop this madness you will, my former apprentice!"
Dooku saw as Master Yoda entered the room. He sent a lightning at Yoda but the Jedi Grandmaster deflected it. Then, after a quick Force battle, the Count took his lightsaber again. He started fighting the two Jedi Masters and with difficulty defeated his former apprentice. Then, the two remaining Force users continued the battle. Dooku saw that he could not defeat Yoda and sent a large rock flying towards the defeated Jedi. Yoda started helping the, by pulling it away from them and Dooku took the chance to run away. Later that day, six Jedi were complaining to get out from the healer's ward.
