Author Note: Ok Ok, the fight sequence is based on the one from Die Another Day! Therefor I take no credit for it. I don't own James Bond or Star Wars, so I just thought I'de point that out. For those of you who have seen Die Another Day, the outcome of the fight will be no surprise, but please keep it quiet so you don't spoil it for everyone else!

Anyways, back to the story.

(-o-)

"Padme I really don't think this is a good idea!" Anakin and Obi-Wan said together, but she ignored them, flicked the switch of her blue blade and stood waiting. Then without warning, Ronteza attacked. They spun and fought, crashing into everything and causing several of the display cases to smash and spill their contents.

"Steady on!" Obi-Wan cried as his desk was cleaved in half.

This sudden outburst distracted Padme a bit and allowed Ronteza to slash at her, but she managed to knock his blow down and he slashed her shin instead. Crying out in pain, she retaliated by punching him with the handle of her saber, then slashing his cheek. Ronteza paused to dab at the blood on his cheek, allowing Padme to find better footing amongs all the glass and objects.

And then they were fighting again, out into the hallway that led to the other training rooms, down and round a corner. Ronteza kept pulling chairs from the side and setting them in Padme's way, but she simply hopped onto them, pressed the back with one foot and rode it down as it fell over backwards, like it was a see-saw.

By this time, the fight was more aggressive and several punches were being thrown in between clashes of the saber. However, on the fight went, both determined to beat the other. Back into the training room they went where everyone was chanting or screaming or yelling for them to stop. But still they ignored them. However Padme tripped once on a bit of wood from a display case and Ronteza cut her saber handle in half. She dived away from his blade and picked up another off the floor. Then they fought out onto the balcony leading to the gardens. Several other Jedi were there and they had heard the noises coming from the room. Now they all stopped to watch as Ronteza pressed Padme up against the low wall then punched her in the jaw, causing her to fall over the wall, down to the area below.

Then he ran on down the steps, meeting her at the bottom. On they fought, round a large fountain, then back up the same steps, Ronteza tripping several times, but never falling.

Up they went, onto the balcony again, and along it to another set of stairs on the other side. Padme kicked Ronteza's shin and he fell backwards, tumbling down the steps. However, as he fell, he managed to knock her saber away and she spotted it lying a little way off at the bottom of the steps. Seeing the blue blade fly towards her as Ronteza lie on the ground, she jumped from the top step, dived over him and rolled on the floor, calling her saber to her as she did so. She was on her feet again in seconds, waiting for Ronteza's charge. As he came towards her, she grinned, seeing a way to beat him. She slashed at his legs, but he blocked, so she stepped back a little, bringing Ronteza closer to the fountain in the middle of the garden. Then she went for his head. Up went his blade, but she quickly swung low instead, cutting his stomach and causing him to lose balance and fall into the fountain.

At last! she thought triumphantly, but Ronteza wasn't finished. He jumped back up again, soaking wet and their sabers clashed again. However, they were quickly seperated by Lomas, who had run out, closely followed by Anakin, Obi-Wan and Serena.

"That's enough!" Lomas shouted and the two blades parted. Ronteza began to laugh, but Padme was in no mood to do anything other than glare at the two brothers.

"It's just a little sport Lomas," Ronteza replied, shutting down his saber and handing it back to Obi-Wan. Then he dabbed at the cut on his stomach with a finger and looked at the blood.

"It seems you beat me Miss Skywalker." He held out his hand as Padme shut her saber down and also handed it back to Obi-Wan. Then she shook his hand.

"My ship is your. Treat it nicely."

"Keep it. I don't want it. It's tainted with sin!" she replied, turning to leave.

"But it's yours. You won it fair and square."

"Give it to Han!" she called over her shoulder, spotting Han in a corner watching curiously. Han's eyes widened as he realised what she had just said.

"Really? I can have your ship?"

"Yep,"

"Wow! Thanks so much Padme!"

"Don't mention it," she replied with a slight smile as she limped off, dabbing at the cuts on her face. She may have won the fight, but Ronteza was stronger than her and she had many cuts and bruises that needed to be seen too. A small trickle of blood ran from her split lip, and she had a nasty cut above her right eye. Then there was the cut on her leg to be seen too. It was only superficial, but lightsaber wounds always left a scar, no matter how deep or shallow the cut. After all, a lightsaber is designed to burn through things, not just cut them.

She did, however, feel slightly better when she remembered the cut on Ronteza's cheek. That would definately scar and she hoped it would serve as a reminder to the Prince when he next decided to challenge a stranger to an old fashioned duel, because she somehow had the feeling that wasn't the first time Ronteza had pulled a stunt like that.

Ha! Beaten by a girl! I wonder how he's gonna explain that! she thought happily as she arrived at the medical bay and typed her code into the loggin computer.

"Back again Mistress Skywalker?" A friendly medical droid asked, leading her into an empty room.
