First chapter = disclaimers.

Another late update.

Cammy: Unfortunately, they do not all snap back as some of them have already been brainwashed to the point where they no longer need her influence. But, with Callista out of the picture, rehabilitation will be much easier.

Ahhh, just two more chapters to go. I think this pretty much finished up al the battles I had going.

Obi-wan stood defiantly as Dooku circled around him.

"Are you just going to stand there all day, Master Kenobi? Your apprentice at least knew enough to join a fight, as I recall."

Obi-Wan smiled at Dooku, "I don't see what business it is of my enemy what my strategy is. I've always found that the villain is the one who spouts of in grandeur during a fight."

Dooku made a quick slash in towards Obi-Wan's left flank. The blow was quickly parried, and Obi-Wan leapt quickly away twisting above Dooku's had as he did so.

"My, how fancy. Isn't that something you were doing before you got your Master killed? I recall you being much more airborne in your youth."

"I'd say something similar, but I'm not entirely sure you ever had a youth. Tell me, were you born crotchety and old?"

As Dooku blustered at the comment, Obi-Wan slashed viciously downwards and seared Dooku's left arm.

"Insolent whelp!"

Obi-Wan grinned in response and attacked again.

Qui-Gon, on the other hand was having a totally different type of fight not halfway across the room. Where Dooku preferred finesse and psychological games, Maul seemed to prefer the strategic game of attempting to beat the living daylights out of his opponent.

Qui-Gon blocked blow after blow. Any thrust he used against Maul was quickly parried by the red monster. Neither was giving an inch, and it seemed that the fight would come down only to pure stamina. It was a fight Qui-Gon would have won save for the fact that he had already been fighting for most of the day. He would wager that Maul had not.

As a master, he had always chided Obi-Wan about his tendency to fight with only pure physicality. It was a lesson his then padawan had learned well. It was time to see if the Master was adept as the student.

Qui-Gon quickly shifted all of his weight to his left leg and struck out in a low spin kick with the other. Maul, however, was quick to recognize the attack and jumped up in the air copying the move that Obi-Wan had used earlier on Dooku. The problem for Maul was the fact that Qui-Gon had never intended to hit him with the kick.

With a push of judicious Force, Qui-Gon Spun upwards out of his kick and struck out with his lightsaber. Yoda might have been able to fight without a leg, he doubted his Sith opponent could.

"You know, that is just so against the rules. We cut off hands, not legs," Obi-Wan's voice sounded behind him.

"You cut off hands, Padawan. Besides I always thought your habit of removing those appendages to be disgusting."

"And cutting off his leg isn't?"

Qui-Gon shook his head, "What happened to Dooku?"

"Oh, he got really mad when I burned his arm, tried to use Force lightening on me, and I vivisected him from my uncomfortable position at his feet. You know, he would have won if he hadn't stopped to gloat about me being 'Where I belonged.'"

"DO YOU TWO WORTHLESS THINGS MIND? ISN'T IT A VIOLATION OF YOUR PRECIOUS ORDER TO ALLOW YOUR OPPONENT TO LIE HERE LIKE THIS?"

Qui-Gon sighed, "Quite right."

He skillfully dodged the lightsaber blow that Maul aimed at him as he approached and used his own blade to knock Maul's away. With a gentle push of the Force, he smacked Maul on the head and pushed him into unconsciousness.

Obi-Wan walked over with the double edged blade, "I think we should be glad lightsaber wounds cauterize. We don't have to bandage him this way."

Anakin seethed internally as Ki-Adi strode oh so calmly towards him. Anger clouded at his vision as he regained his fighting stance. As the ire roiled through his blood, Anakin automatically began to channel it. Mundi froze in his progression when he saw the air begin to crackle around his opponent.

"You have to ask yourself at this point, do you really think you can beat me? Do you really think that you're insignificant weapon can fell the seed of the Chosen One?"

Anakin fairly growled as he stalked towards Mundi.

Shock registered in Mundi's eyes as he registered the fact that there was nowhere for him to go that Anakin would not immediately and viciously follow. Pushing the girl over the railing had been a mistake. The boy had not been as dangerous before.

"Anakin! Help!" Tahiri's voice floated up from below.

The rage in Anakin's eyes faltered. He had a choice, he could either help to save Tahiri, or he could defeat Mundi. The choice, thankfully, was simple.

He drew on his bond with Tahiri to locate her. Without a second glance, he flipped over the edge of the catwalk and began to move towards the ledge that Tahiri had grabbed on to.

Mundi sneered as he grabbed a blaster out of his cloak. It would be fun to see the two of them try to save each other when being shot at while climbing precipices.

A snap-hiss of a lightsaber registered moments before his blaster was nothing but scrap metal and sparks.

"Nice, that was not," Yoda frowned most solemnly at Mundi, "Pay for that, you will."

Luke fought off a bout of exhaustion as he maneuvered through another cloud of debris. He had forgotten how taxing an all out space battle could be.

He was about to go after another craft when it blew up in front of him.

A sleek starcraft buzzed by the nose of his x-wing.

"The citizens of the Republic would like to offer their assistance, Master Skywalker," Wedge's laughably pompous voice crackled over the speakers.

"Wedge? What are you doing here?"

"Well after Coruscant got attacked, I managed to convince a few people that you would need help here. I decided to fly out the cavalry myself."

Luke grinned, "Welcome aboard!"
