Daryan flew at the troops, slicing at Ahsoka while shooting troopers. He was almost unstoppable. Ahsoka fended off the attacks against her, but made no move to attack him back. She couldn't bring herself to fight him. She tried in vain to knock him down with force powers, but he just recovered or dodged them. Ahsoka's sadness turned to rage.

"Daryan.. How could you turn on me to the dark side?" Ahsoka yelled at him, slicing back finally.

They fought on for a while, ducking and weaving through the clones who were falling to blasts of the pistol. Daryan had definitely improved since the last time they had met. Their lightsabers clashed again and again.

Daryan said nothing, his face emotionless.

How could he betray her? Why did he do that? How could he leave her all alone, only to come back working for her enemy?

She started fighting back with intensity. Daryan only parried all of her attacks.

"Fine!" Ahsoka yelled, fighting at Daryan, "You betrayer! I hate you!"

A tear trickled from Daryan's eye. He Force pushed Ahsoka away and turned to face the other lightsaber battle that was occurring.

He jumped into the fray, shooting and slicing. Anakin broke off to face the new threat while Obi-wan continued to battle Umale Bindo. The two danced around, parrying and slashing.

"So you finally turned," Anakin said, parrying a slash from Daryan.

Daryan said nothing, his face was still emotionless. He continued to fight Anakin, shooting his blaster and slashing at the Jedi Knight. Daryan Force pushed Anakin, but the Jedi Knight dodged. Anakin found that it was easy to match Daryan, but he couldn't get an edge to push the battle in his favor.

Obi-wan and Umale were in a dead tie. Neither was flinching as they methodically fought.

"Bindo!"

A twin green lightsabers entered the battle. An older man with a grey long hair in a Jedi robe entered the battle and flew at Umale Bindo. Obi-wan was knocked aside as the flurry of lightsabers met a red dual bladed saber.

"Onasen?" Obi-wan said, shocked.

The old man unleashed his fury upon his old friend. Umale was being beaten back, he was fighting defensively from the onslaught.

"You know how this ends, Umale!" Jaden Onasen said, a fire in his eyes.

Umale did. He was never a match for his former friend, even when her turned to the dark side. The men dualed backwards up the highway, flanked by droids, but they couldn't touch Onasen as he attacked Bindo. The droids were falling back with them, allowing the clones to push up.

Anakin and Daryan stayed where they were. Neither was gaining an edge on the other, they just continued to shoot, slash and parry.

General Grievous watched the battle from a monitor from his flag ship. He saw Anakin and Daryan dueling in the center of the Republic troops that were pushing up.

"Aim ship batteries and fired there," he breathed at the deck droids.

"Roger roger," the droid said, aiming the batteries.

Anakin and Daryan concentrated, they channeled the force into their hands while dueling with the other. At the same time, they pushed each other, each being thrown backwards.

The ship's batteries fired.

The explosion was so huge that the raised highway was decimated in a 10m radius of the blast. The advancing clone army was forced to go around the huge blast in the side of the road where the two Jedi had been dueling. Neither Anakin nor Daryan could be seen.

The battle had been won. Obi-wan watched as clone troopers went from house to house, searching for any droids. It was a messy victory, a lot of good men were lost.

Ahsoka trudged up to Obi-wan, looking like a mess. She had spent the last two hours looking through the rubble and the debris, trying to find her master, with no luck.

Obi-wan looked at her, and spread his arms. She buried her fast in his robe and started sobbing uncontrollably. Obi-wan hugged her, but he knew it wouldn't help that much.

Jaden Onasen walked up to the two. Ahsoka withdrew from Obi-wan and stood next to him, looking at Daryan's tutor.

"Jaden," Obi-wan said, extending a hand.

The big man shook his hand. "Obi-wan, you've grown up quite a bit," he said with a gruff laugh. He had a deep gruff voice, but it was also warm and happy.

"I could say the same about you," Obi-wan said.

"And you must be Ahsoka," Jaden said, peering down at the young togruta.

"You.. you know me?" Ahsoka said, astonished.

"Daryan told me all about you," he said, scratching his bearded chin.

"What? How?"

"The reason why the resistance has been able to do so well was because Daryan was feeding us intelligence," Jaden explained, "without him, we would have never taken the forward base, let alone taken the capital city. He told me a lot about a certain togruta who he was falling for, and how he wished they would be reunited again."

Ahsoka's heart sank. How could she have said those things to him before? Tears welled up in her eyes.
