Chapter Five: A Deadly Mission

It was the next morning and River was helping Soreka get the droids moving faster. They were waiting for General Grievous and they wanted to be ready to leave by the time he got there so that there wasn't any more chaos than there already was. By the time he got there they were already sitting inside the shuttle. During the flight to Kamino (which was were they were going) it was totally silent which didn't surprise River knowing General Grievous was in a sour mood but it seemed Soreka was not doing to good, she sensed a lot of stress around Soreka and if she were going to be in combat that wasn't good.

As soon as they landed General Grievous disappeared leaving her and Soreka to find the Jedi and kill him.

"Let's split up," suggested River

"Okay that sounds like a good idea and let's just give a holler if either one of us needs help."

"Okay."

Soreka went into the cloning facility and River decided to go up on the roof that way she'd be able to find the Jedi's starfighter.

It was raining hard so River pulled the hood to her cloak over her head. She had been wandering around looking for any sign of the Jedi with no luck, she started getting dizzy and she lost her footing and about fell to her death but a metal hand shot out of no where and helped her regain her footing.

"You should be more careful walking on a dome roof," said General Grievous still showing that he was not in a good mood.

"Thanks for the warning. By the way have you seen any sign of the Jedi yet?"

"Yes, him and Soreka are going full out." and he pointed her in the direction of the battle.

She ran regardless of falling to her death, she wanted to help Soreka and make sure nothing happened to her.

She jumped half way down the side of the roof and she landed behind the starfighter that's when she heard Soreka scream out in pain and when she looked around the front of the fighter she saw Soreka crumble to the ground the Jedi was raising his yellow saber for the killing blow but River was faster she pulled out her lightsaber and ignited it and blocked the Jedi's blow. The Jedi smirked

"Well, well what have we here, another one, I hope your more of a challenge."

Then River lunged at him and they went full out River had the upper hand of not being worn out but he was strong and for about ten minutes they dished out attacks and they were blocked. The Jedi started to lose his footing and he slipped River seized the chance she brought her saber down on his neck and he was dead, mission accomplished.

She stood there for a second and remembered her Master; she rushed over to her and cradled her in her arms.

"River... this was a test for you and you passed... but I can't continue to be your mentor."

"No don't say that you're going to make it."

"Promise me that you will be... General Grievous' apprentice, and try to find favor with him please."

"I promise." Soreka smiled and her head dropped to the side. "No, ...no" she whispered as she hugged the body close "no."

During this whole ordeal General Grievous watched from the rooftop he noted how River had fought out of anger and hate for the Jedi even if she didn't know that she had.

As he made his way down the side of the roof he didn't hear the conversation going on between the dieing master and the grieving padawan. As he approached her she got up she was shaking but not from the rain it was deeper than that. River turned to face him she looked at him there was a mixture of sorrow and hatred in her eyes.

"I vow on my life that I will kill any Jedi that cross' paths with mine, I will show no mercy or pity. Because of that Jedi every single one will perish."

She walked over to the Jedi and picked up his lightsaber and put it in her cloak.

"And their lightsaber's will be mementoes of my victory."

Then she walked over to Soreka's body and picked it up and walked back to their shuttle, which was on the other side of the facility. General Grievous tilted his head in approval about the vow she had made, he knew that she would make someone a fine apprentice just as long as it wasn't him who was to be her new mentor.

As they made their way back to the Invisible Hand River sat there as if she were the one that had died, she didn't even move and it looked like she was hardly breathing, she just sat there staring at nothing at all.

Oh dear will she follow through on her promise? Will she die of grief? Will she destroy herself in seek of her revenge?
