Trouble in the tournament

Part 2

Next battle was quick. I didn't watch it. I kind of, instead, was in the bathroom. After my battle I felt nervous and sick. I threw up. No one knew I did but I still felt nervous about the battles and throwing up and yet to come.

"Where ya been?" Savannah asked when I came back. I gulped and sat down.

"Nowhere," I mumbled. She looked at me curiously then shook her head, turning her eyes to the mat. She was up and she seemed nervous, I could sense.

"Wish me luck," she gulped. She stood up and walked to the mat. She held onto her green practice saber. She gulped and stood across from her opponent, Jegal Blinks. He was a bragger. He said he was from a special underwater world and he had breath underwater and that he knew some guy named Jar Jar Binks. I hadn't heard of Jar Jar but supposedly he knew Obi-wan. I knew Obi-wan well enough from my trip here. Obi-wan also visited the council and school every now and then with his apprentice and his apprentice's apprentice. She was new to work with Anakin it seemed but I think she was smart enough to figure out Anakin.

"Good luck," I whispered. She turned to Yoda and bowed with Jegal beside her. Then they turned to face each other. Jegal gave her a glare then bowed. Savannah gulped again then bowed to him. They stood up and held tight onto their sabers. Savannah was a great defender but her offense could use a lot of work. With her defenses she could stand at being jabbed for a while but she could never just leap out and attack. That is why I felt the nervous sense of her loss and her returning to the academy while I was out venturing the universe.

Jegal lunged out. Savannah stood peaceful, the saber close to her chest.

"You are about to lose!" he yelled. It echoed throughout the gym. I felt his anger. His attack bounced back. It had collided with Savannah's saber. She fell into an attack position. She twisted around, dodging Jegal's second strike. After her quick twisting and fancy flip back dodging his third strike, she lunged her saber forward. Her eyes flickered at me. They had no emotion, like a machine. The saber stabbed into Jegal's back. He wailed louder than Katie had. He wailed as if it had been a gunshot or a real saber blasting through him. He fell to the floor and a sensed a flicker of pain in him. Savannah didn't move she just stood waiting for his response.

Jegal looked up with a snarl and a glare. He snatched his saber and sliced it across her legs. She let out a hard, cold wail. I shook and froze suddenly. Her wail sent shivers up my spine. I raced out of the gym. Again I was in the bathroom. I was…well I'd rather not explain what I did. When I came staggering out I heard voices. I walked over to the door that concealed the voices. I stood beside it.

"We all know very well that we need to stop Dooku to win the Clone war!" a man urged. I was currently asking who Dooku was and the Clone war…

"We understand still without new Jedi and Padawans we will have more Clones than Jedi and that is not a very good strategy going against Dooku," it sounded like Obi-wan but I couldn't be sure. Many people around here sounded the same.

"We could use any one of these young Jedi but not one of them are a worth challenge for Dooku," it sounded like Anakin, I knew no one who talked like him.

"Anakin is right!" so I was right with Anakin and Obi-wan. "We will happily take the winner of the tournament!" Obi-wan explained. I smiled.

"We will?!" Anakin jumped. I held back my chuckle.

"Yes and who do you assume will win, Obi-wan?" one man asked.

"My opinion is of no concern," Obi-wan answered.

"Well my guess is Lucas but…" Anakin mentioned. I froze. Anakin believed that I could win in a tournament!

"My greatest guess would also have to be Lucas as well," Obi-wan sighed.

I rushed back into the gym. The match had ended. Savannah stood by Yoda. She must've won. Jegal was stomping around. His arm and his right leg were red. That plus his back made three. He had to have lost. Savannah walked over to me. Her eyes filled with emotion unlike they had been in the battle. Her smile went from ear to ear. She hugged me and her smile faded.

"You weren't here to see me win…" she mumbled. I gulped.

"I wasn't feeling well," I explained. Her smiled perked up.

"Well I won and we'll be battling each other next round, the second battle!" she cheered. My world shattered.

*****Author's note*****

Well who will win? Will Savannah win and go to the next round or will Lucas really win the tournament like Anakin and Obi-wan believe? Will I give you any of these answers? Well if I did the next chapter(s) would be useless!
