Author's Note:It has come to my attention that I've neglected Mara Jade's side of the tournament. So here it is without further ado. This duel takes place prior to Obi-Wan's and Anakin's duel.
Mara Jade fought with Zett Jukassa, he was a little older than she was but not as experienced. Zett bowed to Mara and the started the sparring, Mara noted that he didn't say much and was very quiet during the duel. He seemed to be concentrating a little too hard, she pulled his lightsaber from his grip and forced-pushed him on to the floor.
"Do you yield?"
Zett didn't reply and instead kicked her feet out from under her and the lightsabers flew into the air as they did so, both Zett and Mara called their lightsabers to them and jumped to their feet and went at again. Mara pulled jumped over Zett's head and landed behind him poking him in the backside with her lightsaber. She laughed as he yelped but a dark look appeared in Zett's eyes, he was getting very angry. The duel chamber dropped twenty degrees and Mara shivered as Zett forced-shoved her into the wall, she hit her head and a wave of dizziness came over her.
"Now, do you yield, Mara? Zett wrathfully demanded.
"Yes, Zett, I do; Congratulations."
Zett ignored Mara's hand and stormed away.
"That boy has some serious issues." Mara whispered underneath her breath. Suddenly a lightsaber was force thrown at her and she jumped out of the way as it impacted the wall. Everyone was horrified, why would Zett do that? On their way to the final duel of the tournament, Anakin and Obi-Wan confronted Zett in the hallway. The young man glared at both Jedi Masters and attempted to run around them and down the hall. He almost succeeded until he felt a heavy pull of the Force holding him in his place. Zett started screaming like a banshee and it took both Anakin and Obi-Wan to plant a thought in his mind, "Sleep," was the message. Zett fell to the floor in a heap Barriss Offee arrived in the hallway and gently picked him up and carried him to the healers.
"Don't you fine gentlemen have a duel to win?" Barriss replied as Anakin and Obi-Wan started to follow her to the healer's wing.
"She's right you know." Obi-Wan sighed.
Anakin hesitantly agreed and followed Obi-Wan to the arena.
Author's Note:Sorry about neglecting Mara Jade's duel. I know that according to canon, Zett was a good guy, but I wanted to add some excitement to the plot. Thanks for reading and sorry for the delay, writer's block struck again.—Darth Gladiator45
