Chapter 16- Sasha vs Ventress

Sasha knew something was wrong the moment she stepped onto the lift with a commando droid. Cayden was on board already with a droid. Glancing wearily at each other, the both had a bad feeling about what was to come. The lifted stopped and the doors opened. Both padawans were pushed forward into the command center. Ventress stood with her back to them, but Sasha could see the tension in her muscles. Turning on her heels, Ventress glared right at them.

"Did somebody forget to take her meds this morning?" Sasha joked.

"Cut the jokes, padawan," Ventress growled.

"Alright, I'll stop," Sasha said with a smirk.

"What have you done?" Ventress asked.

Sasha and Cayden exchanged a puzzled glance.

"Done what?" Cayden asked.

"The Republic is here! How did they find our location?!" She was ready to snap.

Both padawans shrugged.

"I know it had to be you, Monroe. Only you could have secretly delayed a message to them. Did you do it?"

Sasha shook her head. "What? No! I haven't had access to anything to contact them."

"What about the day you were on the nav comp?"

"I was just playing games. You saw me do so."

"What about when I left the room?"

"Still playing games," she lied, but very well.

"Somehow they found this prison and I won't rest until you spill who told them."

"By the time we decide to tell you anything. I'm guessing help might already be here," Cayden said.

Ventress came over and kicked his broken leg. His knees buckled and he went down in pain.

"You'll be dead by the time they get here whether you tell me or not," Ventress threatened.

"Even if it was us, what would you do?" Sasha asked.

"Behead you both in front of your Masters," she said a smirk forming. "Now I will ask again. How did they find out?"

This time neither of them answered. Ventress growled and curled her hand into a fist. She swung for Sasha, when suddenly…

"Mistress, it appears two gunships are headed this way. Republic class," a droid said.

Ventress had stopped her hand just inches away from Sasha's face. Sasha sighed in relief. Ventress turned and walked toward the window to see if it was true. It was, there were gunships headed their way.

"Allow them to land," Ventress ordered. "I will deal with the Jedi."

Sasha looked at Cayden, determined, and he nodded at her as a sign of go on. Then in a swift motion, Sasha summoned one of Ventress' sabers to her hand, activated it, cut herself free, and destroyed the droids holding her and Cayden. Ventress turned, appalled. Sasha faced her in her ready stance. Ventress snarled and activated her other saber.

"I knew it!" Ventress called. "You did call them!"

"Guilty?" Sasha smirked. "Now are you going to surrender peacefully or will I have to send you to your knees?"

"You'll never beat me, brat!"

Ventress lunged at Sasha. Blocking her blow, Sasha kicked Ventress back then swung at her. Ventress brought up her saber and blocked the blade. Their duel continued, but Sasha felt she had an advantage over Ventress. The reason is because of their training sessions they had, so Sasha was able to point out her weakness. But that also meant she knew her strengths too. However, Ventress also knew her own strengths and weakness too.

Sasha kicked out Ventress' feet from under her causing her to fall. Ventress flipped onto her feet and swung at Sasha. She dodged it, falling into a back bend. Ventress kicked her side, knocking Sasha onto the ground. She groaned in pain as Ventress had kicked her already injured side. Ventress raised her saber over her head and brought it down. Sasha blocked just in time, but struggled to hold Ventress above her. With the aid of the force, she pushed Ventress off her and rolled to her feet.

"Give up, girl," Ventress said.

"I will after you do,' Sasha said.

Ventress was about to reply, but a smirk appeared on her face as she felt a presence in the force. Sasha felt it too. With Sasha distracted, Ventress force choked her. Sasha dropped Ventress' lightsaber and reached for her neck.

"Sasha!" Cayden cried from where he still sat on the floor.

A moment later the door slid open and standing there was Jedi Masters Obi-wan Kenobi and Jacen Par with a squad of clones. Sasha gasped her happiness when she saw them there.

"Release her Ventress," Obi-wan said.

"As you wish,' she said.

Suddenly, Sasha was flying across the room and smacked into the wall. She fell to the ground, darkness consuming her.
