Okay- Lets rock

Chapter 13- Duel

Atton and Mandalore dashed into the throne room of Queen Talia. Mandalore with his blaster rifle raised, Atton with his green sabre drawn.

"REHLA!" he called into the room. The exile turned, apparently shocked he had made it. Even the general vaklu and Queen Talia stopped fighting

Atton saw Jedi master Kavar dead at his old friends feet

"You killed him" Atton said blankly

Apparently she wasn't ready to waste words this time. She grabbed for her sabre and the green beam emitted from her robes.

"You killed Kriea"

Atton ran forwards, paying attention only to his old flame. She did likewise, as though they had tuned out the entire room. Just running felt like an eternity.

Then they met in the middle

Rehla stabbed at Attons side, but was easily avoided by the Padawan, befre launching a wild swing of his own. She avoided that just as easily. Rehla countered with a low attack of her own, which Atton barely deflected. As he staggered from the recoil, she launched a frenzied series of swings. Atton jumped backwards, the blade singing his robes.

Godamnit

"You can't win!" The war veteran barked, and rose her hand, sending a stream of energy at Atton

"I can!" Atton countered with his own force teqniques. The two were silent for a long time, both palms outstreched at the opponent. Atton began to shake, but saw, with some satisfaction, she was as well.

He couldn't hold on any more- neither could she apparently. They both went flying backwards-Atton into the wall, Rehla into a piller.

Atton pulled himself from the floor, panting

"Damn you" Rehla muttered

Atton laughed "Just like old times"

"It's over Rehla" that was Mandalores voice- Atton had fogotten he was there.

Mandalore and Rehla started exchanging threrats, insults, but Atton grew distracted

Atton, read her

"What?" he asked numbly

This fight must be won- use her mind against her- know what she s going to do

Atton swallowed "Bastila"

No- I knew her though

Atton nodded and didn't ask any other questions

He dashed forwards and fought the way of the Jedi masters. He blocked every move Rehla made, delivering many a blow of his own

"How?" Rehla panted

"You're mind is open"

With that sudden realisation, she concentrated on closing it

Oh poopie

Rehla cut through Attons hand- The pain was unbearable

Atton fell to the floor- he wanted to cry. He heard footsteps behind him as he saw Rehla ready to finish the rouge

He heard the exiels startled cry

"REVEN!"
