Anakin's POV.
Two days has passed and we were told to meet the council at the council chambers. Me, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, and Asajj Ventress bowed to them.
"Two days has passed. And it's time for another mission for the four of you." I whispered into Ahsoka's ear. "Like always." I said.
"So where will this mission take place, Master Windu?" Ventress asked. "This mission will take place at Babali." Ahsoka got confused.
"Babali? I've...I mean, we all have never been there."
"Well, this is your first time then, Ahsoka. That goes for all of you."
"What's the briefing?"
"Glad you ask, Obi-Wan. We believe that Count Dooku will be there." Ventress narrowed her eyes in anger.
"Dooku." She said in anger. "Are you sure he'll be there?"
"I'm pretty sure he will. When all of you are prepared, go to the Babali system. Captain Rex will punch in the coordinates and activate the hyperdrive. All of you are now dismissed. Good luck." We bowed and left.
Ahsoka's POV.
As we were walking down the halls, Anakin spoke. "Ahsoka, me and Obi-Wan are gonna get prepared. You and Ventress go ahead. We'll catch up."
"Alright. See ya at the ship hangar."
"You too. Come on Obi-Wan." Then they left. As Ventress and I walked along the way, I could sense her anger. "Ventress? Are you okay?"
"Yes...why wouldn't I be?"
"Because I can sense your anger. What's wrong?"
"...It's Dooku."
"Oh...why is that?"
"Because...that man made me join the dark side, and not only that, he also made me killed numerous innocent people! And I plan on getting my...revenge."
"Ventress. Don't be angry. You need to calm down. Just like my master said: revenge is not the jedi way."
"Oh please. Like he always follows the rules."
"That's because he does."
"Most of the time he would, and most of the time he wouldn't."
"True. Anyway, let's go and get ready. We need to be prepared if we're gonna deal with Dooku."
"And I'll make sure he'll never hurt any of you. None of my friends are gonna die. Especially you, Ahsoka." I smiled at her. "Thanks Ventress. It means a lot to me."
"You're most welcome, Ahsoka. Now let's go and ready."
"Right." After it took eight minutes for us to get ready, we met up in the hangar. Anakin, Obi-Wan and the rest of the clones were already in the gunship.
"You ready, Snips?"
"Yep."
"Alright then, let's go." Obi-Wan said. We all entered inside the gunship. "Is everyone in?"
"Yes Rex, everyone's in. Punch in the coordinates."
"You got it General. Punching in the coordinates now, P-3." Then he activate the hyperdrive and we were shot right into hyperspace.
Ventress's POV.
Count Dooku. Once you enter the battlefield, I will make you pay for what you made me did. You made me killed those innocent people. They didn't deserve it. They didn't deserve death. None of them did. But you made me did it, just so that you can please your Master. Darth Sidious. The one who the jedi don't know about. Yet. I was talking in my head, as we entered Babali.
"General! We're here! But I can't land."
"Why is that, Rex?"
"Because there's a lot of laser bolts going from left and right. All of you are gonna have to jump down there."
"It's okay Rex. We can handle it. Let's do this." The gunship doors opened. "Nobody told us Babali was a Rainforest."
"Well, we know now." Obi-Wan said to me. Anakin jumped first, then Ahsoka jumped second. Obi-Wan jumped after Ahsoka, and then I was the last one and jumped out of the ship. I could feel the wind all around me. And then that's when Obi-Wan spoke.
"How are you doing, Ventress?"
"Better than ever. What about you?"
"Same here. I'll Meet you at the battlefield."
"You too, Obi." Then as I was heading towards the ground, I used the force to slow me down. Anakin, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan did the same. Then we all ignited our lightsabers.
Anakin received a transmission from his comlink. "Yes?"
"Sir, this is Rex. Are you at the battleground?"
"Yes, Rex. We're here."
"Good. If you need any assist just let me-" Then a few separatist ships came and were shooting at them. "Ah!"
"Rex! What's wrong?"
"We're being under attack by separatist fighters, sir! But don't worry, we'll handle them."
"Just be careful up there, Rex."
"We will." I spoke as I was deflecting the laser bolts that were coming from the battle droids. "Things just don't turn easy don't they, Anakin?"
"Nope. I supposed they don't." As we were fighting them, I felt something in the force. Ahsoka noticed. "Ventress? What's wrong?" I looked up at the sky.
"Dooku. He's here." I activated my comlink. "Rex. When you're done, come to our position. Count Dooku is here." Then I deactivated it. What the heck is he doing here? "Barrick. We need some assist. Come at our position to help us."
"You got it sir." Then Barrick who was in a gunship, came to help us. As he came to us, Count Dooku who was in his ship, killed Barrick and his men.
"Barrick!" Anakin shouted. Then Dooku landed his ship on the ground and came out of it. Anakin and Obi-Wan saw him and tried to inflict blows at him, but he easily took them out with his power spark.
"Obi-Wan!"
"Master!" Both of us came to them. We felt their pulse. "It's okay Ventress, they're still okay. They're just knocked out." Then Dooku approached us. "Such fools you both are." Then Ahsoka inflict three blows at him and was about to inflict the fourth one but Dooku grabbed her throat with his hand, causing her to being choked from him. Then he pushed her hard to a tree and knocked her out cold.
"Ahsoka!" Then I glared at Dooku in anger. "You. YOU!"
"You are a fool for joining the light side. You were my most trusted Assassin! Why is that, Ventress?"
"Because I just realized that, the dark side was a horrible path! And because, I love Obi-Wan! And you will never take him away from me!" Then I inflicted five blows at him but then he easily shocked me with his sith lighting. I screamed in pain. He continued shocking me until Rex and Cody were shooting at him, but Dooku blocked them, ran to his ship and left along with his droids. After Dooku was distracted because of Rex and Cody, I was laying on the ground breathing heavily. Until everything went black.
Obi-Wan's POV.
After being knocked out cold, Me, Anakin and Ahsoka stood up from the ground. And then that's when I saw Ventress in pain.
"Ventress!" I ran to her side. "Ventress! Are you okay?" She weakly looked at me. "O-Obi-Wan? Is that you?"
"Yes Ventress, it's me." I took her hand in mine. "I'm here."
"Obi-Wan...I...I don't know if...I'm gonna...make it..." Then her head rolled to the side.
"Ventress?" She wasn't answering me. "Ventress!" Ahsoka was getting worried. "Obi-Wan she's...she's not waking up."
"Don't worry Ahsoka, she's gonna be fine. Cody!" Cody ran to us. "Call a gunship and get us out of here. We need to get Ventress to the Medical Wing."
Medical Wing.
At the medical wing they brought Ventress to her hospital bed. Two clones came to me. "Don't worry sir. She's gonna be fine."
"I hope so. Please do everything you can to save her. I can't lose her."
"Don't worry sir. We won't let you down."
Anakin's POV.
Mean while, Ahsoka and I were outside waiting. Then she started freaking out.
"Master, what if she dies? Then what? I'll lose my best friend. Barriss is my first best friend and I don't wanna lose a second one. Master I'm so worried." She then started to cry and I was giving her comfort by hugging her.
"It's okay Ahsoka, she'll be okay. Don't worry."
"But what if she dies master?"
"Don't worry Ahsoka, she won't. I assure you." I wiped the tears off her face. "I...I hope."
"Me too."
Four Hours Later.
Obi-Wan's POV.
Four hours had passed and I had never left her side.
"We did all that we could, sir. She should be waking up, now."
"Good." They left. I was the only one in the room with Ventress. Until she started to wake up. She woke up and looked at me with a smile.
"Obi-Wan?" I heard her voice. I sensed her when she woke up. Then I looked at her. "Ventress." I hugged her. We broke apart.
"I'm glad you're awake."
"Heh...so am I, Obi-Wan. So am I." Then her and I kissed and we broke apart.
"I thought you died, Ventress. I thought I'd lost you."
"Oh Obi. I'll never die and I'll never leave you. I love you and I always will." Then we kissed again. I parted my lips so that she can be allowed in. Our tongues met in a romantic dance. She gasped and moaned in pleasure. Then we broke apart and looked at each other.
"I'm sorry that I let Count Dooku get away, Obi-Wan. I'm sorry."
"It's okay Ventress, It wasn't your fault. We will find Count Dooku and end this war, but right now, you need to get better."
Anakin's POV.
Mean while after four hours had passed, Obi-Wan came to us.
"I'm back Ahsoka and Anakin."
"So? Is she alright? Please tell me she's alright, please?"
"Ahsoka, calm down. Ventress is okay. She's going to live." Ahsoka smiled happily and cheered.
"Yes! She's gonna live!" Pewh, that was close. For a second, I thought she was gonna die. I smiled as I heard the good news. Then Ahsoka and I hugged.
"She's gonna live Anakin."
"Yes, I know she is." We looked at Obi-Wan. "What about Count Dooku, Master?"
"Don't worry Anakin. Soon we will find him and take him down. Now as you excuse me, I'm gonna go and check back with Ventress." Then he left to check on Ventress.
"Oh Anakin."
"Yeah?" She lifted her skirt and I noticed that she was wearing no pants or panties. I chuckled. "Always with the teasing huh?" She giggled and we kissed.
