Chapter 3 Ventress's Redemption

-Ventress, what are you doing here-asked surprised Ahsoka

-Master Skywalker called me and asked if I would join his new Jedi Order. I actually was thinking of killing him when I would arrive but I received an offer I could not resist.

-You are a sith, it is not your place here- said Ahsoka

-Girls, you don't need to argue. Everything is alright.

-Whatever Sky Guy. I hope you know what you are doing.

-So Asajj, welcome to my new Jedi Order. A padawan will escort you to your quarters.

A padawan arrived and he showed the way to Ventress's new room. It was a big one because all Council Members were to receive a room of that size. Asajj was still caught in between Light and Dark but her sith part was diminishing and her Force signature was becoming lighter.

Anakin and Ahsoka went to the guest room and decided to talk about that issue. Ahsoka was not very happy about Anakin's decision.

-How could you allow her in here? She would tell all your secrets to Dooku and then his fleet will arrive.

-Don't worry Snips; I know what I am doing.

The two Jedi went to the kitchen to get some food. Padme joined them and was surprised on what her husband has done. She agreed with Ahsoka that it was a dangerous idea but Anakin did not want to listen. Anakin went to his room with Padme after the dinner, while Rex joined Ahsoka and they went to dance.

A couple of ships exited the hyperspace. Those ships belonged to Separatists and they were there to invade and destroy Anakin's Jedi. The invasion started shortly. The number of battle droids was much bigger than that of the clones. The Separatists were advancing.

-Fall back-ordered Rex-we cannot lose any more men.

The troopers retreated. Droids were cheering about that. The battle front was already approaching Theed. Suddenly, the droids stopped advancing. Rex and his men were wondering why they stopped. However, Count Dooku in his ship nearby was smiling. The attack was a diversion, he asked Ventress to steal Skywalker and bring to him. And while the droids were firing, Ventress threw a sleeping gas bomb into Anakin's room and took him with her. She quickly took him to Dooku.

Ahsoka saw Ventress leaving with Anakin. She followed her and saw that Ventress brought Master Skywalker to Dooku.

-Good job Ventress. Now, kill him and another problem would be solved.

Ahsoka jumped out of her hiding and started fighting with Ventress. Green saber collided with two red ones and the women continued fighting. Ahsoka was quite angry. She hit Ventress in the stomach with her leg and Asajj fell on the ground. Then Ahsoka looked at Dooku. She then forcepulled Anakin and he was with her. Dooku was angry at both of them.

-Ventress, you failed me. I do not wish to continue to use you as my assassin anymore.

Ventress was sad, she knew that she would not defeat Count by herself.

-Ventress- said Ahsoka, please help me. Count Dooku is evil; he wants only to harm you as well as us. But we want to be your friends, Asajj.

Ventress looked at both Ahsoka and Dooku.

-Don't listen to the youngling, she is a Jedi and you hate Jedi.

Asajj stood up and ignited her lightsabers. She joined Ahsoka at her side.

-You two think you could defeat me? –he laughed and jumped to fight with them.

Count Dooku was fighting with two Jedi and the two girls were soon pushed away. He then sent force lightning at them and they screamed. The pain was very great and they could not really cope with it. However, Dooku was happy not for long. He saw that Anakin woke up, took his lightsaber and stood up.

-I see that young Skywalker is ready to battle. You are no match for me boy.

-We will see.

The two sparred. Count Dooku saw that Anakin was not as weak as when he fought with him for the first time he fought with him. Anakin also started to get advantage.

-You might have defeated me now but I will return and destroy you!

Dooku with his other hand lifted a speeder nearby, carried it above the girls and dropped it. Then Dooku ran away to his ship and flew away. Anakin caught the speeder in midair as it was about to crash the girls and crashed it into pieces using Force. After that Anakin came to check if Jedi were doing fine.

-I am fine Master!-said Ahsoka

Then Anakin looked at Ventress. She was fine too but she was crying.

-Everything Ok Asajj?-asked Anakin

-No! Dooku betrayed me! I did not think that he would be so evil to me. I did everything he asked and that was not enough. I see now that he was wrong. You were right Master Skywalker. Kill me please; I do not deserve to live. I betrayed you and you were so kind. I saw that it is sith who are wrong, they care only about themselves. But Jedi do care about others.

-Asajj Ventress-said Anakin-I will not kill you. You proved to everybody and yourself that you are no longer a pawn of the dark side. Also, I knew that you would do something like that to me. It was a test for you which you passed. Now, you are a True Jedi and I will never worry about you trying to kill me or anything. You are forgiven.

-Thank you Master Skywalker.

-Now I think we need to contact other prominent Jedi Masters and Knights and see who would want to join us at the Council.

The three Jedi left to return to the palace, where Padme, Rex and some other people were waiting. People were happy that everything turned out fine. As for droids, who were advancing before, they got destroyed by the Jedi. Anakin Skywalker led the mission and soon the invaders were no more.
