***I still don't own Star Wars, or Ben 10!***

Light vs. Dark (Act II)

It was chaos at Plumber's Base! Every able bodied fighter was currently trying to stop Shaak and Ventress from killing everyone and destroying everything. But so far, they were having no luck in stopping the two Sith Ladies.

Shaak was striking down all that stood in her way using her Lightsaber. Its crimson blade danced about as it cut through every Plumber that tried to stand against her. And she was currently toying with a half human, half Tetramand hybrid known as Manny Armstrong. Try as he might to land a hit, the bulky, four armed alien was no match for the speed and grace of a Togruta.

"What's the matter, muscle head? Can't hit a moving target?" Shaak taunted.

"Ha! I'm just getting warmed up!" Manny gloated.

Though, confidentially, Manny was actually giving it all he's got in this fight. And it showed as he was quickly running out of breath. And Shaak knew exactly how to take advantage of such a situation. What can she say, her latent predator instincts were beginning to take full control.

She leapt over the Tetramand, ignited her now red Lightsaber, and in one move, she lopped off his arms right at the shoulders.

Manny screamed in pain as he felt his limbs severed at the base. But that pain didn't distract him as much as when Shaak Ti did something she hasn't done in a very, very long time.

SHE SANK HER FANGS INTO MANNY'S NECK!

The veins on his neck began to bulge unnaturally, and turned purple as Shaak injected him with the very potent venom in her fangs. Very few know of this, but according to Togrutan biology, a Togruta can actually choose whether or not to inject venom when biting down on something.

She released Manny from her jaw vice, and allowed him to fall to the ground; paralyzed and dieing a slow, agonizing death.

As for Ventress, she was busy trying to use the Force to see a certain Kineceleran hybrid that was literally running circles around her. Helen Wheels thought that this fight was going to be an easy one with her speed, but she thought wrong. The Dathomirian female was managing to trip up the reptilian girl at every turn, and was enjoying watching her struggles.

Helen had just ran at Ventress again, trying to land a fast attack on the girl. However, Ventress merely sidestepped the charge, and tripped Helen using the Force.

"How are you able to fight an opponent that you can't see!?" Helen asked.

"The power to move at hypersonic speeds is insignificant in comparison to the power of the Force." Ventress replied.

Ohhh, dissed by Vader's line! That's gonna hurt her pride! Helen narrowed her eyes at the Dathomirian for that remark. While she knew that Gwen was learning techniques from the Light Side of the Force, that didn't give this Dark Side bitch the right to mock her like that.

Wordlessly, Helen charged once again, fully intent on killing this Sith Lady. But Ventress was ready for her; and she planned to kill the Kineceleran as slowly and painfully as she could. Just as it seemed like Helen was about to land a hit, she screamed in pain and skidded across the floor.

Ventress had cut the Kineceleran's right hand clean off using her Lightsaber, and Helen was now holding the stump where her hand used to be. But Ventress wasn't done with the torture just yet. She reached out, and grabbed Helen in the air with a Force Choke, causing her to gasp for air. And our young Dathomirian Acolyte was going to enjoy this far more than she should.

"So, I hear talk that you are one of Lord Nemesis' many tormentors." Ventress said.

"Who… *GASP*... Is this… *GHAK*... Nemesis guy…?" Helen managed to ask.

"You should know him perfectly well, but I'll let you figure that out on your own. Right after I'm through with your slow and very painful death." Ventress replied cruelly.

She brought her Lightsaber out, and positioned it with the tip at Helen's abdomen. Thanks to Lady Talon, she along with Shaak and Ahsoka had witnessed all of Ben's memories. And they wanted these fools to feel every last ounce of pain that was coming to them.

"Now, how much pain will this cause you, Plumber?" Ventress mockingly asked as she stabbed Helen with her Lightsaber.

Helen gritted her teeth as tears began to form in her eyes, refusing to give this woman the sick pleasure of hearing her shrieks of pain. The blade was just deep enough to have broken through the wall of flesh protecting her organs. But it just got worse as the Dathomirian began to slowly carve her way up her torso.

The Kineceleran screwed her eyes shut and whimpered, but refused to scream. Refused to show any weakness. A trait that Ventress saw as an admirable one.

"You have a very strong will. Had you been Force Sensitive and not one of Lord Nemesis' enemies, you would have made a fine Sith. But in the end of the end, alas…"

That was the only warning Helen got before Ventress began to use the Force to pry open her chest cavity, revealing her internal organs such as her heart and lungs. The Dathomirian woman smirked cruelly as she reached into Helen's chest, and began to forcefully rip her intestines out of her. This time, Helen DID scream.

The pain was far too unbearable for her to deal with, and she screamed in bloody murder. She almost puked as she saw Ventress continue to rip her guts out, leaving only her vital organs in there. And yet Ventress still was far from finished.

Using her Lightsaber, she sliced off Helen's legs below the kneees, her tail, along with her remaining hand. The Kineceleran screeched in bloody murder, but her ordeal wasn't over. She kept screaming as Ventress began to shock the life out of her using Force Lightning.

"This is for everything you've ever done to wrong, Ben!" Ventress declared.

She increased the voltage of her attack, and finally ended Helen's life. But before the Kineceleran died, she heard Ventress say something else to her.

"Goodbye, Helen Wheels. May you be reincarnated as a true Sith."

And with that, Helen dropped to the ground… dead as dust.

"Very well done, Ventress. At the rate you are going, you will undoubtedly attain the title of Darth very soon." Shaak praised.

"Thank you, Shaak. Now, let's set off the armory, and watch this place go up in a glorious bonfire!" Ventress declared.

The two Sith Acolytes made their way to two levers, and got ready to take what they wanted while destroying the place.

"Pull the lever, Shaak!" Ventress declared dramatically.

Shaak pulled a lever, but not the correct one. As proven when Ventress fell down a trap door.

"WRONG LEVEEEEEERRR!"

There was a splash as Ventress fell into what must've been an underground reservoir. Shaak sheepishly stroked her back lekku as she realized what happened.

"Oops." Shaak said sheepishly.
