Shipwreck. Florrum.
"Remind me to invest in some top of the line speeder bikes," I said to Andromeda over the comm
Rather than race off into the wilderness on foot the Jedi, Senator, the clones and a few of my waifu, had broken into a storage shed of some kind and stolen some speeder bikes. Although calling it stealing wasn't quite right since we'd taken from pirates who'd likely killed and robbed the original owners, and most the pirates were now dead, so perhaps it was better to say that we'd salvaged them.
Speeder bikes, also known as jumpspeeders, were a type of open-air repulsorlift vehicles that emphasized speed and manoeuvrability over stability. The closest thing we had to these on Earth would be motorbikes, but these speeder bikes were much faster, very easy to handle, and didn't require roads. Also, the motorbikes back home weren't armed with blaster cannons.
"So far the waifu and the bioroids you left at the base haven't been able to find the leader of the pirate gang," Andromeda told me, sticking to the important stuff "They have run into a few squads of leftover pirates and the firefights are slowing them down".
I'd left Lara in charge of going after the pirate leader, she'd dealt with all sorts of scum during her time as the Tomb Raider, and she had the experiences of a bounty hunter as well as the Force, as such I wasn't worried about her getting into trouble. I did concern myself a little with the pirate leader getting away and seeking payback against me, but compared to the risk I was taking now when helping to capture Count Dooku, a pirate leader wasn't much to worry about.
By helping to capture Count Dooku, a man who would escape if not killed, I was painting a target on back, and it was not a smart move to be on the hitlist of a Dark Lord of the Sith. While most of the blame would fall on the Jedi, I would at least have some bounty hunters sent after me or hired assassins. He might even send Grevoius after me along with a small fleet if he considered me enough of a threat.
I'd have to worry about my defences later as right now we needed to deal with Dooku, to capture him and get on board my ship, if I took him directly to Courscant rather than wait for a Republic cruiser then there was a good chance of him staying in custody long enough for me to get paid for my part in his capture. There must be a very impressive cash reward for his capture.
While I didn't know what sort of effect this would have on the Clone Wars as a whole, it couldn't be good for the Sith if one of the Lords was captured, Dooku might tell the Jedi Council, who would question him, all about his master and Palpatine's plans, not he would break easily, and the other half of the Sith Order would desperately try to either break the Count out of captivity or silence him.
When we found Dooku he just stood there and let him arrest us. Which seemed odd at first, but he'd not been able to recover his lightsaber and he'd been imprisoned for a while, I doubted the pirates had been much concerned with feeding their hostage. Or maybe he just felt certain that he would be able to escape imprisonment later on.
He must know that taking on two Jedi, a former Jedi, and a lot of people with blasters, was too much for an unarmed Sith to handle, and even if he did somehow defeat us there was no ship around here for him to board, aside from my shuttle which was well guarded and Andromeda wouldn't have let it take off with Dooku inside anyway. Not the Sith would know that last part.
"I surrender," said Count Dooku, who held out his hands.
At this point, Anakin Skywalker looked ready to execute the man here and now, but Obi-Wan reminded me of how valuable the CIS leader was in terms of intelligence. He could even order the droid armies to stand down, thus saving a lot of lives.
"Can we get him to Courscant?" Padme asked.
Capturing the Sith Lord was actually the easy part, as crazy as that sounded, keeping him captive would be harder.
"We'll take him to my ship, locking him up and keep him under heavy guard," I said to the group "We'll contact no one until we arrive at Courscant and have as many Jedi met us as possible we when we land on the planet".
Skywalker looked more concerned now than angry.
"Shouldn't we inform the Chancellor?" he asked.
Since Kenobi and the clones were more interested in securing Dooku as much as possible, and Padme agreed with her husband, I had to be the voice of reason.
"Even if our communications with the Chancellor were totally secure, and we don't know that they are," I said to the young Jedi Knight "We can't be sure that everyone on the Chancellor's staff can be trusted, and even if they can be totally trusted, what about their aides? News of Dooku's capture will spread fast and when it does his allies will come looking for him".
Padme looked disheartened upon hearing this, but she didn't argue with me.
"The Captain is right," she said, "We don't know who can be trusted".
Given that her own uncle had betrayed her, albeit for very good reasons and he'd not gone through with the betrayal and wouldn't have in the series, the Senator understood how corrupt the Republic could be.
"He's right Anakin we must take Dooku directly to the Temple," said Kenobi "Only the Jedi can contain the Count"
Dooku had nothing to say on this matter, as for me I did spend a moment thinking about having my bioroids loot the pirate base, but it was best to leave right away and not give anyone a chance to interfere with getting Dooku back to Courscant. I'd been able to buy all the tech I wanted once he was safely locked up.

The Infinity and Beyond. Hyperspace.
Lara still felt bad about failing her master, not he'd blamed her for the pirate leader escaping, but the Tomb Raider did feel as if she'd messed up, and she'd decided to make it up to her master. She'd ask him to punish her and while that part hadn't been too bad, even if her butt was sore, this part would actually more of a torture for Lara as she knew that her master could bring her to the edge of orgasm and never let her cum.
Miss Croft shuddered in pleasure when her master decided that he was going to massage her body, she quickly decided she was going have to be strong and to do her best to encourage him to fuck her, it would be better for her if he simply used her body to get himself off quickly with no concern for her pleasure so that she could masturbate later rather than suffer under his Sticky Fingers lure and be kept so close to the edge.
Alas, for her he would rather his hands and fingers work her back, legs and somewhat bruised and extremely shapely ass, than her tits and her already wet pussy. Lara knew very well that while her Master loved her ass, it would be better if she was on her front as then he'd have a harder time resisting the urge to fuck her, and he was pretty good at pounding her cunt.
"Yes, Captain," the British aristocrat said as she laid down on her bed "I am yours to do with as you please".
The two of them were currently in her small room, well small when compared to Gothic's quarters, and Lara was now lying on a towel on her bed, ready to be rubbed down, perhaps her Master worried that he'd punished her too hard and wanted to make it up to her. He'd need not have bothered as Lara literal existed to serve me, but she didn't wish to argue about this and wanted him to be free to do to her whatever he wished to do.
She heard him squeeze some of the oil that he'd gotten out of Lara's bathroom into his hands and he began rubbing into the part of her body which attracted him the most. Well, on this side at least. His hands immediately grabbed Lara's shapely ass and alternated between gently caressing her butt cheeks and squeezing the flesh too hard with his hands.
He did put oil on the rest of her back eventually, but the majority of the time he spent playing with her sexy buttocks. Not that Lara blamed him. She was quite proud of her body, having worked out for many hours to keep it in such good shape, and it was his to play with.
Besides having her body caressed and played with was having a big effect on her. Her nipples were rock hard, she was trying her best to not let her master hear how her breathing had become so heavy, as she was worried that she might encourage him to use his lure on her. He had every right to, but Lara had been kept on the edge by Gothic before, it wasn't all bad it was just that she wanted to please him, and perhaps partly she did want to be tortured in that way by him. She felt somewhat conflicted about it.
Not that she felt that way for long as now that her master was more focused on her whole body than on just feeling up her ass she could feel her pussy's moist wetness increasing even more. She was fucking horny. She closed her eyes and tried to enjoy herself.
"Okay, let's turn you over," the captain of this ship said, "I'm going to oil up your front side, too".
While trying her best to disguise her heavy breathing, Lara found herself able to reply.
"Yes, sir," she said as she turned over.
Gothic got to again see the heavenly sight of Lara's naked body that was his to do with as he wished, something other fans of Tomb Raiders games would happily sell their souls to be able to do. While looking her over he immediately noticed that Lara's nipples were rock hard and the wetness between her legs had little to do with the oil that had dripped down between her thighs.
Knowing what he wanted to see Lara separated her legs so that her Master could examine the hairless pussy that was a fuckhole for his enjoyment. She'd messed around with some of the other waifu, both while her master watched and when he hadn't been around, as the bindings drove the waifu to be attracted to each other, but for Lara, there was nothing better inside her cunt than Gothic's cock.
After squirting even more oil into his hands, Gothic went right to work. He didn't start caressing Lara's tits just yet, as much as Lara wanted him to, he started with the legs. The player of the game was definitely a butt guy, as well as a breast-man, but he knew well that women liked to be touched all over, and only after that should a man keep his attention on the tits and ass.
Now that she was feeling a pair of strong hands caressing her legs, hips and stomach, Lara was getting even more turned on. Her Master knew exactly how to give her the most pleasure a woman could get from just a pair of hands, and she couldn't help wondering if it might be possible for her to be driven into insanity by Gothic should he ever just bring her to the edge and keep her there for hours.
By now her master's hands were circling around Lara's tits. The area around her glorious breasts had been thoroughly oiled up. He was purposely not touching her most sensitive parts, the tease, and it was making her want him even more.
"Please, Master!" she yelled, "Use me".
She just couldn't help herself. She knew that she was supposed to call Gothic by the rank of Captain or Sir, rather than Master, but she just didn't care any more. Her tits needed attention, and her cunt would happily take anything he wanted to stick up there, even if it was something that should not be going in there.
Lucky for her he didn't hesitate any further. He grabbed both tits immediately and started playing with them. The oil rubbing was forgotten about. He was pinching the nipples, squeezing the flesh of her breasts, and he was not gentle, and she was grateful for that as right now she wanted him to be rough.
Lara was breathing very heavily, and even moaning when Gothic painfully twisted her nipples and treated them like dials on an old radio set. Normally this sort of thing would make the Tomb Raider a little annoyed with a man, but she loved it when it was her Master touching her.
Then he was spreading her legs and getting ready to fuck her, and this made Lara very happy, foreplay was nice, but she needed to be screwed, to have her pussy stretched by his manhood.
"Yes, oh God, yes!" she called out when he entered her.
Lara was too far gone to care about anything right now other than getting shagged. She was a dirty filthy slut who existed for her master's pleasure, and that was how things should be. How the other waifu felt about such things was no matter, for Lara there was just her need to be fucked like a whore.
"Fuck me hard!. Give it to me, Master!" she screamed.
Gothic did just that, he was ramming his rock-hard dick deep inside Lara's cunt over and over. He was feeling the walls of Lara's pussy engulf his cock, and was talking to Lara in a rather nasty way.
"Yeah, take it, you slut. I can do what I want with you, you dirty whore because I own you!" he told her.
Had any other man said that she'd have made sure that he wouldn't be fucking anyone or a good long time, but it felt so good to have her master say these things.
"Oh Master, yes! Fuck me! Fuck me! HARDER!" she replied.
When her orgasm hit her, and it felt as if she something had hit her, Lara's mind went blank for a while, and she didn't even notice that world around her until Gothic was pulling out of her. Lara didn't have time to react as his cock exploded all over her tits and chest. The sticky white cum soon decorated her tits and this just made her feel even sexier.

Landing Pad. Courscant.
Once we had arrived at the chief world of the Republic we'd contacted the Jedi Order and had told them about our unhappy guest, the greatest security in the galaxy had come to surround the CIS leader. We had Jedi, Clone Troopers, droids and the Senate Guards who wore blue.
The Senate guards were a group I hadn't known much about until I'd spoke with one of their higher-ranking officers while arranging to transfer Dooku to the surface, their duties were to protect the Republic's Galactic Senate and the Supreme Chancellor. The Senate Guard was centred on the galactic capital planet of Coruscant and as it was also responsible for protecting the Senate District, in that role it shared policing jurisdiction with the Coruscant Security Force.
Much like the Jedi Order, the Senate Guards were seen as the defenders of democracy and symbols of security, especially during the last centuries of the Republic when there was no standing army. The best of the Senate Guards would be invited to become a part of the elite Senate Commandos division who would carry out secret government missions. Given their role, it was to be expected that the Senate Guards were a frequent sight in the halls of the Senate Building and the Senate Office Building
The Chancellor's guards who wore red hadn't been formed yet so he was escorted by a whole squad of the men in blue.
We'd had guards, both Jedi and droids around Dooku 24/7 and Andromeda had been prepared to teleport the Sith Lord into the realm of hyperspace outside of the ship if it looked as if he might damage the ship or harm anyone. As much as he worth to me in credits, and in screwing up the plan for the Sith to take over the Republic, I'd rather him dead than any of my waifu.
That would have been hard to explain as memory altering Jedi might not even be possible, and even if it was given what had happened to Revan I felt sure that the modern Jedi Council could at least detect such things. Thankfully had gone smoothly other than the fact that Dooku hadn't given up any such information.
This was likely because he knew that he would not remain locked up for very long, and since the Jedi wouldn't execute a prisoner, and they were unlikely to hand him over the senate any time soon, there was an attack on the temple coming, but I wasn't going to be around for that as I had plans to be elsewhere for a while.
"The capture of Count Dooku is very good news," said Palpatine to Obi-Wan, Skywalker and myself "However we do have a problem. Jedi Knight Aayla Secura has been captured by Asaji Ventress in the skies above Quell, and she has demanded Dook be sent free or she will execute Aayla Secure. To make matters worse General Grevoius captured the world of Falleen not long ago and is now demanding we hand over Count Dooku to him. If we don't he promises that the people of Falleen will suffer".
There was no way the Jedi would ever barter with Ventress, but they might surrender Dooku in order to save millions of Falleen lives.
"We can't just hand him over!" firmly stated Skywalker.
The Chosen One really needed to be more like me, in the sense that I stood back and listened for the right time to weigh in with my opinion, and that wasn't now as really I wanted to collect my pay before leaving. Before I could do that I needed to make sure that Dooku was locked up in the temple. This was something a large group of Temple Guards and Jedi Masters were taking care to do.
"That will be for the Senate to decide" declared Palpatine as we all started moving inside "While I have agreed to allow the Jedi to hold Count Dooku do his special abilities, at least for a time, he will be tried by members of the Senate".
I felt sure that Palpatine would do his best to make sure that process was dragged out for as long as possible, but at least Skywalker didn't keep bitching about it. Rather Obi-Wan brought the conversation to the subject Aayla Secura if only to distract his former apprentice.
"Masters we can weaken the position of the Separatists by freeing Jedi Secura," said Kenobi "Anakin and I can form a team, board whatever ship Ventress is on, free Secura and attempt to capture Ventress".
I figured that Palpatine would want the Jedi to try that so as to make things easier for him when it came to breaking Dooku out of the temple. He'd already used Cad Bane, the guy who manages to steal a holocron from the Jedi Temple in the series, to bust out Gunray from prison and since he'd been able to do that it wouldn't shock me if he was involved in liberating Dooku.
"Spare no ships we can," said Yoda.
Lots of people turned to look at me, and while I wanted to stop getting involved in these events I did feel drawn to get involved. But I was leaving the Republic right after this because I was really pushing my luck.
"Let's get going," I said.

The Infinity and Beyond. Hyperspace.
While Ahsoka Tano was nervous about the upcoming mission that would involve freeing a Jedi Knight from the clutches of that evil bog witch Assaj Ventress, she was also happy to be back on this ship. She'd grown rather attached to the amazing ship, not that attachment was the Jedi way, and she greatly looked forward to sampling more of Gothic's cooking. He'd promised to make her another dish from her homeworld, or at least some sort of recreation, that would taste so good that she'd do almost anything for a second helping.
Right now she was working on her Jedi starfighter as were Masters Skywalker and Kenobi, the plan was to use the stealth capabilities of Gothic's cruiser to get as close as possible to Ventress's cruiser, the craft the Republic had been told to go to in order to exchange Dooku for Secura, and then to fly the fighters from one ship's hanger to the other. No doubt Skyguy would do some fancy flying and shooting that would get them into the hanger bay of the CIS vessel.
While she should have been fine-tuning the systems of her own fighter she couldn't help glancing over at the slipfighter that the bioroids who served as crew on the ship were finishing putting together. Compared to her own fighter the slipfighter had a much sleeker appearance. Ahsoka found it appealing to look at and she wondered how it would handle with her in the cockpit.
It had already been explained to her that slipfighters were a small, agile fighter craft that originally came from a civilization far outside the Republic that had been destroyed by a rebellion hundreds of years ago, or at least that was the perspective of the ship's AI. Usually, their crew consisted of only of one pilot, but in many fighters, there is room for at least one passenger. This way they could be used as shuttles in dangerous situations, or to insert an agent behind enemy lines.
"This is a Phoenix model slipfighter," the ship's AI told her as it projected a hologram near to where Ahsoka was standing "It is a combined fighter/attack craft designed to operate in Earth-normal atmospheres and in high-orbit. Since the CIS cruiser, you'll be boarding is the atmosphere of an Earth-like I decided that my captain needed a fighter like this for his mission".
Ahsoka was impressed but also confused by something.
"Earth?" she asked, "Isn't that a word for dirt?".
In a sense this was correct.
"Earth is the homeworld of many members of my crew" Andromeda explained, "It's a human-controlled planet far outside what you consider to be known space".
Just how far even Andromeda didn't know as she'd not be able to find the Milky Way in any star chart or map of the universe. Which made sense as if was on the other side of the universe it would be so many lightyears away from here that the light from the even the first stars in that galaxy wouldn't have reached this one.
"This fighter is extremely manoeuvrable," Andromeda told Ahsoka, changing the subject as Ahsoka was cleared to know only so much about where this ship and its crew came from "The Phoenix is the primary Close Air Support and long-range interdiction asset for the Lancer Corps during planetary combat operations. It is also used to clear hostile skies of tactical fighters, to escort Lancer drop ships and establish air dominance in advance of the main planetfall assault element. The Phoenix is equipped with dual PDL cannons and three ELS tubes capable of firing up to 6 SAPM-6III Strike Arrow missiles".
Not that Ahoksa would know anything about the Lancer Corps or how agile this fighter really was, at least not until she saw it in action.
"You can build these?" Anakin Skywalker asked, having come over to inspect the Slipfighter.
Andromeda saw no reason to lie, she just didn't tell the whole truth.
"This ship does have limited manufacturing capabilities" she answered.
Her android avatar was working right now on distant Ruusan to build more such facilitates along with many bots and bioroids, and when that was done they'd be able to build many more starfighters.
"Maybe you should buy a few" suggested Obi-Wan Kenobi to his former apprentice "That way the next time you crash a starfighter it won't be the Jedi Order who has to pay for a replacement".
The older Jedi was joking Ahsoka knew. Although she felt certain that her master wouldn't mind owning one of these slipfighters.
"They're not for sale" the AI stated, "At least not yet, it would be up for the captain to decide if we would trade our technology".
Andromeda decided that it would be wise to change the subject, and something came up to help with that.
"Speaking of the captain it time to head for the mess hall, dinner is ready" she informed.
When Ahsoka raced off ahead the two Jedi put it down to youthful energy and eagerness.

So far the plan was going well, we were well on the way to saving the captured Jedi Knight Secura. Our boarding operation had been surprisingly smooth and since my ship was still hidden from the scans of the CIS droids we had our escape vessel nearby. Assuming that the hanger bay we'd left under clone command was not overwhelmed and retaken by the enemy droids, but I had left my planetary warfare bots, that Andromeda had fired at the CIS ship so as to clear the hanger, to help keep our exit out of enemy hands.
Recovering the bots would sadly not be possible as they couldn't fly fast enough to escape with us, or much at all as their rockets were meant to slow falls not to allow flight, and they too big to teleport, but we could always build more, and they'd self destruct once we flew out of the hanger so to aid in our speedy escape. The fighters didn't need much help with that but my ship's shuttles weren't as nimble.
We could very well need a quick exit as Ventress was known for blowing stuff up and sneaking off in all the confusion and she might decide that blowing up this ship with some sort of overload was worth if it allowed her to escape, or she could have the other CIS cruisers nearby fire on this one. If that happened it wouldn't matter much that our fighters and shuttles had ECM generators to help us avoid enemy fire.
I might even need to expose the existence of my ships teleporters to my allies, I'd really rather not do that as it would only draw more attention to and my ship, and as long no one outside of crew knew that I had that sort of tech it gave me an ace in the hole to use when it served me best. Which might be soon as Palpatine could be using all of this as a trap to take me out.
That was a bridge to cross later as right now I needed to pay attention to present as we had lots of droids to demolish before we could get to the captured Jedi Knight. My lightsaber was a blur of action as while my armour could handle a few shots it was best not to get shot in the first place no matter what kind of armour you had or how advanced your medical technology was, and the personal shields were still in the design phase.
The super battle droids should have at least been able to take down a few of the bioroids I'd brought with me, but Anakin Skywalker was scary strong in the Force, he ran at them and began taking them apart in a series of moves that left me wondering if I looked anywhere near that cool when fighting these robots.
That he could fight so well shouldn't come as a surprise as he was the Chosen One. The boy of prophecy if you believe in that sort of thing. Supposedly created by the Force itself and having no actual father so as to correct the unbalance in the Force caused by the Bane line of Sith. I did not know if the Force was sentient thanks to all the sapient beings using it or not, but I knew that it had some kind of agenda or at least a vague goal it was striving towards.
"Gothic you need to take the bridge!" Obi-Wan yelled at me over the sounds of battle "If this is a trap as you suspect then I'll head for the engine rooms and secure it while you do the same for the bridge. Anakin and Ahsoka can deal with Ventress".
There was now a lull going on in the fighting so I was able to hear what Kenobi said next more clearly.
"I sense that there is more here than Ventress" he warned me.
My senses were screaming trap, and if this was one of those then it would be important to take control of this vessel as we might need it fly away from here or do some shooting.
"I'm on my way!" I confirmed loudly before heading for the bridge with my bioroids and bodyguard droids in to.

Separatist Cruiser. Quell.
The door to the bridge opened before anyone had to bother trying to hack or it force it open, it was as if we had been expected, and in some sense, we were even welcome here, as the Dark Jedi in command of this ship, was waiting for me
Dark Jedi, also known as "Fallen" Jedi, were Force-sensitives, frequently former Jedi, who chose to deny the light side of the Force or follow the dark side. Although "Dark Jedi" originally referred to a Jedi who had fallen to the dark side, it could also refer to uninitiated Force-sensitives who received no Jedi training but began their careers under another Dark Jedi.
Others were simply dark-side users who did not follow the teachings of the Sith or other dark side organizations. In some cases, Dark Jedi also included "artificial" Force-sensitives who served the dark side, such as the Reborn and the Shadowtroopers. The first Dark Jedi was believed to be Xendor, who was the first member of the Jedi Order to fall. Other forerunners included Ajunta Pall and others who, after the Hundred-Year Darkness, were exiled from Galactic Republic space and became the ancient progenitors of the Sith Lords.
Over time the title became something of a blanket term for dark siders who could not be classified as belonging to any specific dark side organization. The Jedi Order might even consider me to be a Dark Jedi if I hadn't proven to be somewhat on their side, at least as long it paid. I was no enemy of the Jedi, but I didn't really care about them as a group beyond the role they played in the Clone Wars as I needed to end that war sooner than it did in the series and with me having prospered from it.
This Dark Jedi was known as Tol Skorr, a male Human Jedi Knight who served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic in the final years of the Republic, the current era. After taking the rank of General within the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, Skorr was seduced to the dark side of the Force early in the conflict and he joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems, becoming one of Count Dooku's Dark Acolytes like Ventress, who was no doubt trading quips with either Obi-Wan or Skywalker by now.
"So you're the one who helped the Jedi capture, my Master," said Skorr "The failed knight, the warrior with the silver blade".
I liked the second of those two descriptions better.
"He speaks of you," said Skorr, "He thinks you might be connected with the recent turmoil in the Force".
Well, he was right.
"I'd ask for your surrender but we both know that only one of us living this bridge alive," I said
The battle droids, the lesser B1 types were now taking firing positions.
"Kill him!" the Dark Jedi ordered.
Trained as a Jedi Knight, Tol Skorr had all of the Force techniques and skills with a lightsaber that all Jedi Knight should possess and having fallen to the dark side, Skorr had been taught certain forbidden techniques by Count Dooku, including a form of telekinesis known as a Force Choke. Which he used on me even as my bodyguard droids attacked him and my bioroids gunned down the B1s.
Thankfully I knew the counter to the Force choke. Only the most powerful and experienced of Force-users could choke someone with the power of the dark side and defend themselves from attack. Thanks to the Valley I was such a person, so I sent a quick spell at him with a bit of wandless magic, it didn't do more than make him stagger back a step, but it distracted him enough to restore my oxygen supply.
While a competent lightsaber duelist, Skorr was significantly less skilled than some like Ventress who my bodyguards would not have been able to corner. Alas for the machines Skorr had his own guards, Commando droids with blades that could either be made from lightsaber resistant or at least coated in it. Skorr had signalled them to come out of hiding and to aid him.
Lucky for me I had other tricks. My helmet was keeping a live link to my ship and while I'd not been able to teleport on to this ship, as the shields had been up before Skywalker blasted us away in, now that they were down Andromeda beamed in more of my bodyguards, she'd built a few squads worth by now, and this left me free to deal with Skorr.
Perhaps it would have been wiser to have Andromeda use the teleporters to pluck Skorr of this ship, as I could tag him with a beacon, but there were risks to that as the teleporters involved moving a person through a layer of subspace or something like that, and as such, it involved a lot of energy which might be detected by the nearby CIS ships.
Besides I wanted to kill Skorr and take his lightsaber for my growing collection. Risky, but I had advantages over the dark sider and if I had proof of his death, like a recording of killing him and his weapon to show people, the Republic would have to fork out even more money to me in a bounty. Plus at worse even if he killed me that would just end this game and send me home. That would be sad, but I'd still be richer for these experiences.
I moved back into the corridor that led to the bridge as that part of the ship was becoming filled parts of droids and dead bioroid, and you should never fight on ground of your enemies choosing, and Skorr followed me, going on the offensive very quickly, but not before sealing off the bridge so that none of my robots or bioroids could get involved with our fight.
He had raw power and he could channel his anger, but he was no match for me. Skorr was not a master swordsmen and did not have the experiences of many Jedi and Sith to call upon. Still, he didn't simply die because I wanted him dead, he was after all a Dark Jedi.
Skorr attacked from my left and high, trying to chop me in half from an angle, but the Force was also with me, and it guided me to block each attack. He attacked again always using the power of the dark side as a battering ram trying to bring down my defences. I sensed that he had something to prove by defeating me. Sadly for him, I would not be defeated, at least not this day.
When our sabres locked I called upon the power of the dark side as well, I did not hate this man, nor was I angry so I was not controlled by my passions, this was more a clear need to win, to stay alive, and with a lot of effort I forced Skorr back. When I had some space I pushed at him with the Force intending to send him flying into the closed bridge door, and he tried to push me as well, we became locked in place until suddenly we were both flying back.
Quickly we both returned to our feet and I sent a blast of magical lightning at Skorr who blocked it with his red blade. I didn't understand how that worked, as I'd used magic not the Force, but right now all that mattered was that he could block such an attack, and when he did it Skorr seemed very pleased with himself.
Then I did something I'd not done before and I Force Choked him. The Dark Jedi was lifted up into the air and before he could use his own powers against me to break my focus I teleported myself behind using my own powers, and as he dropped I stabbed him the back. Somewhat cowardly, but he'd seen me use my powers, and while the recording I'd taken could be edited a dark sides memories were another matter. Besides even if I did hand him over the Jedi he'd likely escape along with Dooku and unlike with Dooku, there had been no around to stop me from killing this guy.
"Obi-Wan we have the bridge," I said over the comm as I summoned Skorr's lightsaber to my hand and put into my pouch of holding so I could deal with it later "How goes your mission?".
He wasn't long in replying.
"I've secured the engineering section," he told me "As for Anakin and Ahsoka they've recovered Secura, but Ventress got away. We need to leave before she gets to one of the other cruisers and destroys this one".
Judging by the sudden shaking she'd already called one of the other cruisers and had ordered them to send out fighters to destroy this ship since that would be faster than getting the bigger ships into range.
"Back to the hanger bay!" I heard Skywalker yell.
I had orders to give as well.
"Andromeda send in the drones to keep the fighters off us" I commanded.
Again we'd have to replenish the drones as these ones would have to be sacrificed to cover our escape, but that was better than losing people.
"I'll recover what assets I can," the AI told me.
That was code for her saying that she would try to beam over my bioroids and bodyguards before we returned to my ship got the dodge out of hell. But that wasn't a big deal to me as while I didn't use the bioroids as training dummies since they could feel pain like a person, they weren't self-aware so I would sacrifice them to give people a better chance at staying alive. My morality was flexible like that.
