Narrator pow:
"Well, well, well, who do we got here?" Ahsoka asked, rather unamused by Barriss and Scout appearing in front of her.
"A handsome commander and rational force user." Scout responded first, flexing his muscles.
"I wasn't talking about you." Torgutan padawan responded, looking at Barriss with narrowed eyes.
"Well guess what, whoever touched her is also touching me." Scout countered her, taking step to the side as if he wanted to cover her.
"Oh so you're in love?" Ahsoka asked again, making Lux realise that he has no say in this case.
"Yes we do!" Scout responded with a brash tone. "And what will you do about it, Jedi? Get jealous and commit a dark side act?"
"Jeremy, stop this." Barriss caught him by the arm, expecting a full-on duel between the two.
"Then how about you solve this in a equal, righteous way?" Lux asked them, looking up at the building containing local militia barracks.
"A duel you say? Hell yeah!" Scout laughed, spinning his two -saber handles with ease. "I'm gonna mess you up so badly in there."
"Fair enough." Ahsoka smiled with confidence, looking at Barriss who decided to hide beind her companion. "Winner gets to claim himself to be in the right."
"Who would have expected?" Eeth Koth asked, him, Medic and Engineer taking their seats on the stands as Ahsoka and Scout walked into the previously prepared free space that made the arena. "Two overly energetic youngsters going at eachother's heads over approach to someone else."
"I know, as stupid as Scout can get." Engineer added, looking down at visibly depressed Barriss. "I just feel bad for her in here. Whatever the outcome, she is taking the hit in here."
"Naah, sie will learn from this." Medic waved his hand in disapproval just as the metalic gong sounded across the room and the two run at eachother with lightsabers.
"Think fast chucklenuts!" Scout laughed, quickly taking his Batsaber into action and using the double weaponary to enforce his dominance with a series of acrobatic, flanking slashed from the sides as Ahsoka was pushed onto defensive blocking and backward steps.
"Hmm, he already psuhes her onto togjt defense?" Eeth asked, pointing out that Scout repedeately used his two sabers and superior speed to strike from left and right, forcing her to move backwards on the straight line.
"Not for long." Engineer added, just before Ahsoka rolled under another attack, made single blocked slash from below and jumped away to get some space. "She knows when to take a step back."
"Pfah! She's nothing to our ubermensch." Medic snarled as Scout rushed forward like a lightning bolt, striking Ahsoka with both lightsabers at once in a x-pattern, sending her backwards with a strong blow.
"So he's just gonna overpower her?" Engineer asked, rather suprised as Scout lifted Ahsoka by tiliting fingers on his right hand while the left one threw her lightsaber away from her reach.
"He has speed, strenght and other factors I provided to him. So, yes." Medic said in stoic manner, while Scout forcefully slammed Ahsoka into the ground and made Schadefreunde taunt afterwards.
"Good to know." Engineer nodded, seeing Scout walking up to Ahsoka and crossing his blades next to her neck.
"What do we learn? I always win!" Scout laughed his adversary in the face before turning his - sabers off and walking away from her.
"At least he didn't beat her up harshly." Engineer commented, seeing him and Barriss walk away from the arena together, both of them engaged in a serious conversation.
"On the other side, he did just allow her to leave." Eeth pointed out as the trio stood up from their seats and headed towards the exit.
"Meh, Scout is a strong mann, he can allow himself for mercy towards inferior fighters." Medic laughed, making Engie and Eeth exchange worriesome glares.
"We must stand on the point of eliminating corrupted and evil Republic in the entire reachable galaxy! Do you understand that?" Soldier exclaimed, channeling all of his patriotical jingoism during the session of Confederate Senate.
"There could be only one galactic union! And it cannot be under control of Sith Lord Plauge!" Demoman added, hitting himself in the chest. "Besides, why can you even believe that he won't just make up a ln excuse to decline the treaty?"
"Efforts for the better future cannot be denied by a short-sighted hate." Mina Bonteri responded, speaking from the rostrum. "We all know that Chancellor Palpatine is in reality a Darth Sidious, but we can't allow it to hide the fact that people of this galaxy are tired and very often wounded with each passing day of the conflict."
"Even if it's guaranteed to end up in vain?" Demo asked her, visibly prepared to counter her point.
"Even if it's guaranteed to end up in vain."
"Then why even bother?" Soldier asked her. "It clearly is pointless when compared to good of cleaning our galaxy out of the enemy spies!"
"So I am a spy just because I want to end the war peacefully?" Mina asked him back, regaining some confidence.
"No, you thinking wrong of his comment." Demoman responded, looking up and seeing two shadowy figures hidden under grey tilts in the highest rows of senate stands. "A BLOODY SPY!" He shouted with a power of thousand critical hits as he yanked both of them to the middle of the building with a single arm pull, revealing Padme and Ahsoka as tilts flew off of them before they painfully landed on the ground.
"Senator Padme Amidala!" Count Dooku exclaimed in suprise, observing the session from the holographic projector as Confederacy's Head of State. "What kind of sorcery is this?"
"A republican one!" Demoman answered him with a mix of determination, anger an pride.
"They cannot be bargain with, they cannot be reasoned with, they always try to infiltrate us in a stupidest of ways." Soldier commented, then waving his hand in a goofy way to Sniper, who just walked inside the room with two dozens of BX-series commando droids as an escort.
"Count! Senate! Observers! I have documentation, which proves that so called Padme Amidala, a Republican Senator, have illegally sneaked into our planet under the abuse of Jedi's permission and protection of no other than Ahsoka Tano! Padawan of Anakin Skywalker!" Sniper announced, holding and presenting several sources of digital information as well as video documents.
"Senator Mina Bonteri was housing a Republican Senator, who broke Republican law under Jedi's protection?" One of the less noteworthy senators asked. "But I don't remember us forbidding such actions..."
"We did it yesterday. You were just sick and haven't even bother to connect from home for the final voting." Demoman corrected him, earning few careful laughs. "But now then, what do we do with these obvious spies?" He added, just as Ahsoka activated her lightsaber and took a defensive stance between Padme and Sniper's squadron.
"Stay down, kid. Inprisonmemt doesn't equal torture or death." Sniper responded, signalling his troops to hold their fire.
"Precisely." Dooku repsonded with confident glare. "We even released Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi for a moderate sum few hours ago, so a padawan like you and one of many senators shouldn't be unpayable for Jedi Order and Republican Senat respectively."
"Wait, you won't?" Ahsoka asked him, mostly suprised.
"We won't, wanker." Sniper responded with increasingly harsh tone. "As long as you don't do something stupid that is."
"Fair enough, I think I can pay the demanded random." Mina Bonteri added, sending the two discovered emissaries a warm smile.
"That should be enough for us to forgive for this interruption in our democratic system." Count Dooku nodded, giving his approval to the actions. "But remember to take a peace treaty offer with yourself. Connection between Republic and Confederacy are forbidden in the former after all."
"Well then, it seems we spend enough time in pretending we like eachother." Spy said, as he and Aayla Secura walked into the small stadium with multiple Pantorans gathered to see their duel over the general right to having Pantora join one of the sides.
"Agreed, we weren't even close to peaceful agreement." Secura responded, before they both reached the starting position in a short distance from eachother and saw Chairman Papanoida appearing with his whole family and guards on the separate section of stands dedicated for most important guests.
"Very well then." Spy nodded, activating his lightsaber, then swinging it's blue blade with graceful ease before pointing it forward towards her. "Let us play!"
"May the force be with the righteous." Secura added, activating her own and taking a low stance with legs ready for a quick movement in any direction.
And then, a loud gong sounded across the arena, making them both go forward and clash their blades against eachother.
"Stab time!" Spy laughed, taking his butterfly knife in the second hand and trying to quickly stab Aayla's neck from behind.
"No." She responded shortly, jumping away from his range as he switched the knife hold to the backward style. "Cheap tricks won't work on me."
"Not at the first time, darling." Spy snorted, turning his invis watch and vanishing into the air within a second.
"... You can't hide from The Force." Jedi said, closing her eyes and focusing with.her blade pointed straight up in front of herself.
"Heheheh, I am not hiding..." Spy snickered from unknown direction, definitely moving, but not making any footsteps. "I am coming for youuu..."
"Then come." Aayla responded, remaining her atoic posture and mind.
"With pleasure." Spy responded, before she felf something on her back.
"Hayah!" She exclaimed, swinging her lightsaber in a 180 degree pattern and slicing Spy's torso in half.
"Heart-warming." He responded, only the first part coming from his mouth before she felt a sharp sting on the back of her neck. "But I never really was on your side." He added as her Body lifelessly fell onto the ground, letting out an empty thud as it hit it.
"It is settled then. Pantora ties it's future with Confederacy!" Chairman Papanoida announced from his seat as four paramedics run up to collapsed Twi'lek with medical aparature.
"Take good care of her." Spy said towards them, correcting his suit. "Just a small commander's wish."
