Chapter 24- True Love

"Now that they are safely gone," Sasha commented as she stood across from Danison in the cell bay corridor while he stood over his fallen men. "We don't need to hold back."

That made Danison smile. 'Who said I was going to anyway?"

He then launched himself at Sasha. Pulling his right fist back, Danison swung a punch at her. Sasha dodged the blow by leaning out of the way of it. The mere lean, however, reminded her that she still had parts of her body on the mend and weren't ready for action. She grimaced for a second then swung at him with the baton. Danison managed to evade the baton as it swung for his head.

Danison then raised his leg and went for a front kick at Sasha's midsection. What he didn't expect though was for her to catch it after it connected. Sasha's ribs were pissed at the impact, but her grip on his leg was a tight one. She then rotated it in a jerking fashion which caused him to rotate slightly and almost lose his balance. Sasha then hit the spot behind the knee with the baton. Danison yelped as he completely lost his balance and hit the floor with a thud.

Sasha loomed over him, panting slightly. She then walked around him only to be caught by his leg that lashed out at her. Losing her own balance, Sasha managed to find it again as she fell back and with one hand did a back flip into a crouch. Danison then kipped up to his feet and faced her. He then charged her with a tackle. The impact of the tackle resulted in Sasha being launched back and pinned against the nearby wall. She hissed as she felt a rib rebreak or maybe it was a new one. She couldn't tell at the moment and it also wasn't a priority.

Panting, Danison glared her down.

"I underestimated you the first time we fought," Danison said with a slight smirk. "You've got some serious skill."

"A complement? Are you flirting with me or fighting me?," Sasha grunted as she tried to budge his tight grip. "Cause I know what I'm doing."

With that statement, Sasha head butted him. Danison staggered back, holding his nose, and releasing her from his grip. Danison moved his hand away, checking for blood. It appeared to not be broken. He sniffed and moved into a round house kick for her head. Sasha brought her arms up to attempt to block the kick, but it still made contact. She skidded back with her arms still in the protective position in front of her head. She lowered her arms, shook them out, and started to flourish the baton.

Sasha then leapt into the air and proceeded to bring the baton down onto Danison. However, he had managed to pull out a baton of his own. The batons met in a hard clash between them. However, the forceful impact of her baton upon his caused the delicate little hitting stick to crack but not fully break under the pressure. They held the clash for a moment before engaging in almost a saber/knife fight like duel.

Danison swung first only to have Sasha easily parry the baton. Sasha then went for a side attack and as he blocked it, she whipped around and managed to tag him on the back as he now exposed himself. Danison flinched at the hit and snarled at her. He then went for an overhead strike. Sasha brought her baton up and blocked the hit. He pressed down on her baton with brute strength. Sasha then proceed to drop to the ground and with a swift kick to his midsection, she heaved him over her.

Sasha maneuvered back to her feet to watch as Danison struggled for a second to get up from the ground. She noticed that his baton received another crack. She also noticed that the impact may have damaged his shoulder as he had attempted to roll out of the kick and only ended up landing wrong. As he raised to his feet, he rubbed his shoulder with his free hand as Sasha took to a ready stance similar to her Master's.

Danison switched hands and moved in for another attack with his baton. Sasha managed to block it, but the man was just as strong with his left hand as he was with his right. The forceful impact caused her to adjust her footing before going in for the next move. Sasha then shoved him off and went in for a hit to his injured shoulder. Danison not only responded quickly, but he also managed to avoid getting his shoulder hit by rotating his body and landing as kick at Sasha's side.

Gasping, Sasha fell to one knee and held her ribs. Now those were actually the ribs she had been trying to heal. That kick not only made it's mark, but the wave of pain over her was overwhelming. Danison took her downed moment to come in to land the final blow. However, despite the pain she was in, Sasha was not going to give in so easily to him. She tucked an rolled away, avoiding his baton. However, she did not come out of the roll with ease.

Moving onto her hands and knees while clutching her injured side, Sasha gazed up at Danison. He loomed over her with a glare.

"It's over, Maya," Danison said as he regained his breath.

"You truly do underestimate me, don't you?" Sasha said with a painful chuckle. "Also it's Sasha."

She raised her free hand up and force pushed him down the corridor. Danison flew back. He tumbled to the ground and rolled for a good ten feet before somehow getting to his feet in one swift motion. He grunted as he grabbed his injured shoulder again. He tossed his baton aside, done with the stupid instrument. He took off in a run down the corridor heading straight at her.

Sasha pushed herself to her feet, but could barely stand up straight. Wincing, Sasha moved into a stance that would allow her to avoid his attack. As soon as he was within range, Sasha leapt up, grabbed the pipe above her, and swung her legs forward in a kick. Danison managed to slide under her kick with ease and avoid getting hit. As he straightened up, he caught her legs as they swung back and yanked her down to the ground. Sasha impacted with the floor. She felt her left wrist break as she tried to catch herself with the slam. She felt tears brimming at the pain she was in, but she bit them back as she snarled.

Suddenly, she felt herself being flipped over onto her back. Danison flipped her and then got down to pin her to the ground. He held her in place, squeezing her wrists. Sasha cried out as he squeezed the broken one. She glared up at him.

"Surrender," He demanded. "It's over. I've won. And knowing my men, your family and friends are probably being detained as we speak. So this fight is over."

Sasha laughed. Despite her injuries that told her not to do it, she laughed out loud.

"You said earlier that you underestimated me," Sasha pointed out. "But you should know not to underestimate my Master and the others. Your men might be strong, but I think that pile at the end of the hall speaks for itself as what a Jedi can do and what my friends can do."

Danison glanced back at his men, who were still lying unconscious on the ground from where Sasha and Padme had taken them down. He looked back and glared down at her.

"You got lucky," Danison said.

"There is no such thing as luck," Sasha said. "You're men were defeated, fair and square."

That, for some reason, quieted him. He continued to stare at her with the glare until it just disappeared. She felt his grip on her wrists soften in that moment.

"Well I thought I was pretty lucky when I first met you," Danison said in a softer tone.

Sasha narrowed her eyes. He continued.

"I mean, I've dated and been with many girls before, but you actually made me feel like the luckiest man in the galaxy. For me, falling for you or Maya or whatever was like love at first site."

Sasha raised her eyebrows. She did not expect the conversation to go this way after all of the fighting. She shook her head.

"You're talking about true love like it falls from the heavens once," Sasha stated. "You may love a person and say that it was meant to be and that it was love at first sight. However, only rarely does that ever pan out into something more than just a fling. True love is something you can experience multiple times in your life, but if it comes from the right person then it means something more. I am not the right person for you and the same can be said the other way around. You fell in love with a fake person and then you threw her into prison. That's not love. I don't even know what that is, but it was wrong. Do the right thing and give up on Maya. And just give up on this fight. It's over."

Danison was quiet for a lot longer than a moment. When he did speak up, so returned his tight grip on her wrists. Sasha winced again.

"If I can't have you for my true love, then no one can," Danison hissed. "And it's not over until I'm the winner."

Sasha sighed. "Well so much for that. I thought I could get through to you, but you really are nothing more than a greedy, power hungry, jerk."

She used the force without moving a muscle and threw Danison straight up into the ceiling. His head impacted with a pipe. Sasha then used the force and threw him down the hall toward his men. He tumbled and rolled to a stop. This time he did not get up or even move. He was down for the count.

Sasha sighed. It was finally over. She then started to move into a sitting position while cradling her broken wrist.

"Kriff…" she heard a familiar voice curse from down the hall.

Sasha glanced up to see Cayden standing there with his saber on and ready in his hand. He was staring at the pile of officers that lay on the floor. His glance then raised to meet hers. He flicked off his saber.

"You just missed the party," Sasha commented with a pained chuckle.

"More like I just missed the ass whooping of the century," Cayden chuckled as he moved around the pile and came over to her. "You could have gone easier on them."

"Nah, they deserved it," Sasha said with a smirk.

He smiled at that. Cayden reached her side and knelt down beside her. He placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Are you okay?" he asked now in a serious tone.

Sasha shrugged. "More or less. Let's just say I'm going to be feeling this for a while."

Cayden snickered as he held a hand out to her. Sasha took it and he pulled her to her feet. Once on her feet, Sasha thanked him.

"Oh, by the way," he said reaching onto his belt. "I brought this for you. In case you needed it, which you obviously didn't." Cayden held up her lightsaber to her.

Sasha took the saber and sighed as it felt good to have it back in her possession again. She then attached it to her belt where it belonged.

"Well if I did have it, this fight would have ended a lot quicker," Sasha pointed out with a smile. "Besides, a little exercise does the body good."

Cayden shook his head. "Only when it doesn't result in you breaking bones or injuring yourself beyond repair."

Sasha knew he was talking about her wrist. She just simply giggled.

"By the way, did the Senator, the Duchess, and Halla make it out safe?" Sasha asked as she started to walk down the corridor toward the lift.

"Well not out, but they are upstairs and with Taren safe," Cayden said as he walked alongside her.

"That's good at least," Sasha said with a nod.

She then came to a stop in front of Danison's unconscious body.

"What should we do with him?" Cayden asked.

"Throw him in prison?" Sasha suggested.

"I like that idea," Cayden agreed. "But allow me to clean up the mess, you deserve a break."

"Thanks," Sasha said with a smile to him. "I would actually help you, but my ribs and my wrist are killing me."

"Don't worry about it," He said turning to meet her gaze.

He returned the smile. Sasha found herself staring at him. She also found herself thinking about to her conversation with Danison moments before Cayden arrived.

"What?" he asked now concerned.

"Nothing, it's just… Danison had this warped idea of what love is," Sasha responded. "He was even ready to force his love upon me until I stopped him and the fight. However, it all made me think about true love and finding the right person who makes it mean more and stuff like that. Actually, this whole trip has had me thinking about that."

"And?" Cayden asked curiously. "What conclusion have you come to?"

"I think I found the right one," Sasha said with a growing smile.

That made Cayden grin. Not caring who would see, he leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips. Sasha would have wrapped her arms around him to pull him closer, but her wrist and her rips would have protested the gesture. So instead she just stepped closer and pressed herself against him. He wrapped a careful arm around her and held her there. Cayden pulled his lips away, still smiling.

"I've been thinking the same," he said sweetly. "And I think I found the right one too."

Sasha smiled. "Good. Now…" She moved over to the nearby wall to sit and rest. "Get to work cleaning, my servant. We don't have all day!" She demanded in a cartoonish tone.

Cayden laughed then bowed extravagantly. "Yes, my lady."

They both shared a laugh before Cayden got to work moving Danison and his men into a cell. While Cayden cleared them away, Sasha watched from the floor on the hall as she sat against the wall.

"By the way," Cayden spoke up as he exited the nearest cell, that he had randomly choose, after dragging another guy in. "I have been curious about this for the whole day practically, but why did you take off and run away a couple nights ago?" He tone was serious as he asked the question.

Sasha frowned. "Because Master Kenobi saw us kiss that night and learned everything."

Cayden froze in place and turned about as pale as a sheet.

"Oh no," Cayden's voice squeezed out. 'We are so screwed when we get back to the temple. I thought we were careful!"

"So did I!," Sasha agreed. "But he apparently caught us in the act." She sighed. "However, he has already apologized and promises not to tell the council."

That statement nearly sent Cayden to the floor.

"Just like that?" He questioned. "All is forgiven? We are off the hook? How in the galaxy did you manage that?"

"Let's just say we came to a mutual understanding about what attachments really mean to us," Sasha stated plainly.

Cayden looked at her confused, but she gave him a knowing glance. She knew that Cayden had his suspicions about Obi-wan and Satine, she just needed him to put the pieces together. Somehow, that look made his realize what she meant. He smiled and nodded.

"Well, then I am truly impressed with you, my dear," Cayden stated as he got back to work. "And I guess I now understand what he meant by go get her son." He mumbled that last part.

"What?" Sasha asked.

"Nothing," Cayden shook his head with a dumb grin on his face as he continued to load the officers into the cell. "Nothing at all."
