Obi-Wan and Ahsoka fights Grievous and he is captured; Ahsoka POV
When I was younger, I had talked a lot of smack about Grievous, saying he was an overgrown droid and easy to take down. I still kept my confidence up and thought that Grievous was nothing more than just the leader of the droid army that he looked like so much. But now, I realized there was more to him than meets the eye. He was the killer of the Jedi, and he had perfected his craft.
One time during the Clone Wars, I had set down with Skyguy and Obi-Wan and finally asked who was Grievous and where did he come from. Obi-Wan said he was a fierce warlord on the planet of Kalee, and fought as a dangerous warrior during the planet's civil war. The government was supported by the Republic, and Grevious fostered an intense hatred for them. During a battle, Grievous got hurt like Skyguy, and he became a cyborg. But unlike Anakin, Grievous enjoyed his metal body better than his human body, and opted for surgery when he died and came into the Force. That is why Dokoo looked far younger, and almost a handsome version of himself, but Grievous had not changed at all.
As we exchanged blows, I could not help but try to imagine how Grievous would look as a Kalee man. They were humanoid men, light skinned, handsome, but he would still have yellow, murderous eyes and a fierce hatred for the Jedi. There is no clue where he got his fierce hatred for the Jedi and the Republic, but he had been an insurgent leader of a rebellious group on his home planet for years before he joined the Separatist. He was not like Anakin who could change with therapy and support, or even wanted to change. Grievous took pleasure in killing people and did not care what happened to the innocent. He did not care about the honors of war, nor did he see the value of sparing life. He was just as guilty as Sidious in my book, it just was not as personal.
As a master of Nimen, Grievous was absolutely deadly unless someone got creative and was quick on their feet. With all four blades, he could attack my head and my torso, and block at the same time. It took all of Obi-Wan's strength and ingenuity to use a blaster, of all things, to kill Grievous during the Clone Wars. I was going to have to work hard with Obi-Wan and concentrate if we were going to capture this slimeball.
It has taken years to be a master at Jar'Kai, but all of that time of dueling Skyguy had paid off. I learned from Anakin that I would rather be on the offensive, then wait for my opponent to attack and have to be on guard against whatever they came up with. So I attacked Grievous with both of my blades, going for his midsection and head. I alternated blows with my blades and kept up as quick as a pace as I could.
Meanwhile, Obi-Wan was attacking him on the left, being deliberate and reserved. Obi-Wan's tactic was to steadily chip away at his opponent's defenses and feed into their arrogance so that he could find an opening and strike. It worked a lot of the time. Obi-Wan would lull his opponent into believing that he was not getting anywhere, and just when their guard would drop he would claim victory. It was precise, measured, and took time, too much time for Anakin and my taste, but you could not argue with the result.
But Grievous held us off. The Lord of the Droids was a master at being creative with his four weapons and he could keep me and Obi-Wan at bay without batting an eye. We would have to be creative and soon if we were going to arrest this freak and get him back to a cell on Corrasaunt where he belonged.
I looked to Obi-Wan, and he nodded. Together, we attacked with a new ferocity, going for the more dangerous moves, something Grievous did not expect. He held us off but he gave ground inch by inch, stumbling backwards under our attacks.
Grievous blocked my uppercut and then swooped at my waist from the side. I spun out of danger and brought both of my blades down on his head, causing him to block up in a panic. This allowed for an opening for Obi-Wan to stab him in the chest while Grievous was distracted with me.
Yelling in pain, Grievous dropped his sabers and clutched at his chest. As he dropped to his knees, I saw the look of terror in the overgrown droid's eyes. I glanced over and the other side of the room and saw that Anakin was triumphantly standing over Count Dooku.
"You have lost Grievous," said Obi-Wan, "surrender now and we will be merciful."
"I surrender," he choked out.
A wicked smile spread across my lips as the clones rushed forward to arrest him. They put a collar around his neck and brought him to his feet. We walked over to where Anakin, Rex, and Lee were and saw the same thing being done to Count Dokoo.
"I don't see how you will get out of this Count," said Obi-Wan, "I am afraid judgement is coming for you."
"You do not scare me Kenobi," said Dokoo.
"No, but when you are tried and are placed in the same prison as Lord Sidious, I think that will scare you."
Anakin grinned and Dooku's eyes got wide. "You can not do that. I have rights!"
"No you don't," said Rex, "take them away boys!"
The clone troopers lead Dooku and Grievous out of the room and towards the gunships. Obi-Wan walked over to Anakin and put his arm around him.
"How did you enjoy playing this time?" he asked.
"It was fun," Anakin said. "And what's best is I did it without the Dark Side."
"I'm proud of you, Padawan. Now, let's go home."
