Chapter 2: Dueling
Vader brought the ruby blade down, and Padmè lifted her sapphire blade to block. Vader whirled around, and struck to the side, as Padmè once again blocked with her saber. Padmè back flipped, and continued holding her lightsaber in a defensive position.
Vader lunged at his wife, going in for a stab, and Padmè ducked to dodge, and then struck at Vader's right. Vader easily blocked, and then went for a left to right sweep, which Padmè blocked. Vader then threw his lightsaber to his left hand, and reversed his grip. He went for a downward strike to Padmè's head, which she leapt aside to dodge.
Padmè went for a lower strike to Vader's left leg, but Vader blocked, and reversed his grip as he brought his right hand back to his saber. He then went into a flurry of two-handed strikes, all of which Padmè blocked or dodged.
Vader could sense his wife tiring, so he took his left hand away from his saber, and went into a flurry of attacks with his right hand, making his saber a quick red blur. Padmè continued to block her husband's attacks, using the Force to energize her a bit.
Vader continued his strikes, never tiring as his strength beat down Padmè, starting to make her tiring start to show. He kept a straight face as he continued to duel with her, and then stuck out his left hand. He pulled her saber to him, and deactivated both sabers, clipping them to his belt.
"Padmè you must join me, and unleash your true power," said Vader, still not wanting to kill her.
Padmè knew he was showing mercy. Maybe if she joined him, his love for her could get him to turn back to the Light Side. Padmè thought about this, and nodded to herself.
"OK, Vader, I will join you," said Padmè.
"I knew you would make the right decision, Padmè," Vader said.
Vader walked toward his wife, and kissed her passionately.
