CHAPTER 15

A "FRIENDLY' MATACH

"You've got to be kidding!" I exclaimed.

"No, I'm not kidding," she informed me. "I want you to fight me. Now!"

"But I was just fighting Grievous," I protested. "I'm worn out and I'm hungry."

"Too bad," she said. "It's time for you to fight me now."

I glanced at Dooku. He looked smug. I bet this was his idea to get back at me. "Son of a-," I began then stopped myself.

"What's going on?" General Grievous demanded coming up behind me.

"She wants to fight me," I said pointing at Asajj.

"Now?"

The woman nodded.

"But she was just fighting," he said sounding confused. "You should at least wait until she catches her breath."

"Sorry, General," Asajj said. "I want to fight her. Now!" she lunged at me.

I screamed and ducked under Grievous' legs as I ran. She jumped over him and chased after me.

Great, I thought, Grievous isn't going to stop her. Now I have to fight her! I pulled my lightsabers off my belt and activated them. I guess I have no choice.

I turned around and went into a defensive position.

The bitch ran behind me!

I felt a strange disturbance on my back and jumped into the air. I looked down and saw Asajj Ventress' red blades smack into the floor. That's when I realized what had happened. The Force had saved my life.

"This Force is with me! HAHAHAHAHA!" I laughed as I landed a few feet away from her.

Asajj growled and came at me again.

I decided to try something out.

Putting both of my lightsabers in one hand I put up my left and used the Force to steal one of Asajj's lightsabers. The woman as well as I were surprised when the blade was yanked out of her hand and careened into my palm.

Now I had three lightsabers.

Asajj gaped at me.

I decided to do a Zoro. (Zoro or Zolo is one of my favorite One Piece characters.) I put her red lightsaber's handle in my mouth and put Mace's purple one back in my other hand.

Chuckling evilly I ran at her.

Now its a fair fight, I thought satisfied. You have one and I have three. That's sure to even out my lack of skill with your lack of brains!

The woman jumped as I came at her. I turned my head in that direction. My hand held lightsabers weren't fast enough to catch her but the one in my mouth was. The red blade seared a long burn mark up her left leg.

Asajj cried out in pain and slammed down hard on the floor. "You lose," I said taking the blade out of my mouth.

Asajj glared at me as she held her injured leg.

"Wench!" she shrieked jumping at me and trying to cut off my head with her last remaining lightsaber.

I easily blocked it with my green and purple ones. She growled at me and I just grinned back. I lifted my foot and kicked her in the stomach.

She fell to the floor winded.

"Loser," I said still grinning.

She glared at me hatefully.

I laughed and went back to Dooku and Grievous. "There," I said facing them both. "I beat that bald bitch. Now can I-"

Something hard struck me in the back of the head and I blacked out.

Dooku and Grievous stared at me as I fell to the floor. Asajj Ventress stood behind me.

"Only expose your back to a corpse," she said.

"Hey!" Grievous exclaimed. "That wasn't fair!"

She gave him a disapproving look. "Who are you to lecture me about fair?" she snapped. "You don't even know the meaning of the word!"

The cyborg growled. He looked ready to smash her face in.

"Hold it," Dooku interviened. "Now isn't the time for this."

"You are right," Grievous said reaching down and picking me up. He flung me over his shoulder. "By the way, Ventress. If I find out you killed her you won't be living much longer."

Then he walked off.

Jedi Master Kit Fisto stood in the empty Council Chamber staring out the huge windows in the Coruscant sky. He was glad no one else was in the Chamber. He wanted to be alone.

He was thinking... about me.

I wonder why Yoda is being so secretive about her, he thought. Why did he ask Shaak Ti and I about her? What does he know about her that he refuses to tell us? What is so special about her? Is she really from Earth?

"Kit," said a voice behind him.

Kit Fisto turned. He saw Jedi Knight Aayla Secura standing in the Council Chamber doorway. "Good evening, Master Secura," he said. "What brings you here?"

"I'm worried," she replied.

"About what?"

"You."

"Me?" his eyes got a little bigger in surprise. "Why?"

"You don't seem like youself," she said.

"Why do you say that?"

She shook her head as she walked toward him. "I can just tell," she said. "Is it that again?'

Kit knew what she ment. He shook his head, causing his head tentacles to sway from side to side. "No," he told her. "I'm finally over that. Why are you so worred about it? That happened eighteen years ago."

She gave him a sad look. "I don't know," she replied. "Maybe it was because.."

He grinned at her and put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm fine," he said. "Besides. It's not your fault."

"I know."

He grew serious. "If you really want to know what I'm worried about it's this; You know that weird girl I found the other day?"

"Yes," she answered. "Master Yoda made her Master Windu's Padawan."

"She disappeared."
"What?"

"She disappeared. She yelled at Mace when they landed on Sydrun and stormed off into the mountains. Nobody's seen her since."

"Do you have any idea about it?"

Kit's head tentacles wavered slightly. "While they were on that planet they recieved word that General Grievous was also stationed there."

"Grievous!" her eyes widened in horror. "Oh no! Do you think he could have done something to her?"

"It's possible."

The Twi'lek shook her head. "This can't be,'"she said slowly. "We can't lose another...we've lost enough already.. she was so young."

The Nautolan put both hands on her shoulders now and looked into her eyes. "We don't know that yet," he informed her. "She could still be out there. Alive. Even if she did run into Grievous."

I came around sometime later. When I opened my eyes I found myself in a strange situation.

I was lying in Grievous' lap! He was looking at something to my left. I heard a whiny voice arguing with him.

"I don't care what he says," the General finally shouted. "You tell Gunray that if he thinks he can just make even an attempt at discontinuing speaking with me he's got another thing coming! If I want a weird Jedi to roam my ship I'll do it and there's nothing he can say about it! Do I make myself clear!"

The whiny thing said something along the lines about Gunray having Grievous shut down.

Before the cyborg could say anything about it I spoke up. "You tell him to go screw himself!" then I used the Force to cut the connection.

Grievous looked down at me. "You're awake," he said. "How are you feeling?"

"Fine I guess," I said. Then asked. "What am I doing in your lap?"

A/N

I hope that wasn't stupid. I tried my best to make this chapter better than the other one but I don't think I succeeded. All well. Better luck next time. The thing with Kit and Aayla really is just a filler for the chapter, though it does have a little to do with this story. Sorry for any spelling or grammer errors. I try my best to avoid making mistakes but sometimes I miss them by accident.
