Chapter 19

As Anakin approached Janira, his mind swirled with many thoughts. Should he go through with this? Should he really kill Janira? Anakin wasn't so sure if he should kill a Sith apprentice or not, for the last time that had happened, he had turned to the dark side. Yes, when Palpatine had made him kill Dooku that had been the first step down his descent to the dark side. He didn't know if he should really do that again now, for what if it all turned against him like before? But still, he kept walking over towards Janira, light saber in hand, ready for action.

When he reached her, she was trying to rise to her feet, but failing miserably. At last she managed to get up on her hands and knees, but only for a second, for then Anakin pushed her down again with the sole of his boot. Now Anakin had her pinned down on the ground, his light saber raised up over her neck. Before he was able to strike though, Janira began to speak.

"Please, Anakin," Janira pleaded. "Don't do this."

Anakin decided to let her live, at least for the moment. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you now. You are a sith, and a traitor."

"No! I'm not! It's not what you think."

Anakin couldn't help but laugh. "Not what I think? You have sided with Larveus right in front of me. You have tried to kill me, and you want to kill Luke. Now how does that not make you a sith?"

"You're right. I am a traitor. To Larveus. I am a double agent, you can even ask Luke yourself," Janira said, her voice hoarse.

"You expect me to believe this rubbish?" Anakin replied in disbelief. "Why wouldn't Luke tell me?"

"I don't know. But it is the truth Anakin."

Anakin brought more force down onto Janira's back and raised his light saber for the final blow. "Even if it is the truth," Anakin said, "it comes to late."

Before Anakin could end her life, the sound of doors opening stopped him. Turning around quickly, Anakin saw Larveus entering the room once more with guards surrounding him.

"Well, well, well," began Larveus as he approached the pair. "It seems that Anakin once again has managed to defeat a Sith Apprentice. Perhaps it is time that he challenged the real thing?" dared Larveus as he threw off his cloak and flicked his light saber into his hand.

"I think that I would rather kill the traitor first, don't you agree?" asked Anakin, preparing, once again, to try and destroy his former friend.

Larveus waved his hand. "I feel the same way. If an apprentice cannot defeat a Jedi, then she is of no use. You may kill her."

Anakin chuckled slightly. "That's exactly what I wanted to hear."

Unexpectedly, Anakin then bent over and offered his hand to Janira. She gave him a look of confusion, but accepted his hand anyways.

"What do you say we put aside our differences for now, and destroy him once and for all. Afterwards, we can finish our duel," offered Anakin graciously.

Janira smirked. "I would love to."

Beside them, Larveus raised up his index fingered and shook it pointedly. "Ah, ah, ah, my friends. You cannot harm me, remember?"

This time, it was Janira's turn to prove herself. "Actually, that was my misleading. You are but a mere shadow of your former self. Living, yes; dead, yes; but immortal? No. All shadows disappear sometime. At exactly, 1200 hours, no?"

Larveus raised his eyebrows knowingly. "That is very clever indeed, my apprentice. But, sadly for you, it is not yet that time, now is it."

"You have a point there, Larveus," agreed Janira. "But you also forget that Anakin is also like you. He can kill you at any time."

She turned her attention to Anakin, who was pacing over on the side, ready to battle already. "I think I shall leave the battling to the undead for now."

Anakin nodded his head shortly and shot out his light saber, erecting it immediately.

Larveus raised his eyebrows. "You really think it wise, Skywalker, to challenge me?"

Anakin placed himself in front of Larveus, glowering at him. "I beat you once before, Dooku, and I shall do it again."

Larveus too ignited his light saber, taking the defensive stance. "Then you truly are a fool."

And with that, the two enemies began their life and death battle.

It is a fanfiction sin to read and not review!
