Forgive Me! I hate myself for not updating! Please forgive me!
The holidays were hectic and I have not gone to bed before 11 these past weeks. I am so sorry Thunderstar29!
I am so tired right now, so this chapter is not my best. I am sooooo sorry! I really hope you like though.
Fear immediately leapt into the heart of the young togruta as the hum of the lightsaber filled the hollow air. Ivia stepped forward and put the lightsaber to Ahsoka's throat.
"Get up and stand over there." Ivia hissed, pointing to the wall.
"You're a sith?" Ahsoka asked as she slowly got up.
"No."
"Then what are you?"
"I am like you…….a Jedi."
Ahsoka was taken back at this revelation. Ivia acted almost like a Jedi but without the usually rules. There was no possible way this woman could be a Jedi at least to Ahsoka's reasoning.
"No you aren't." Ahoska said slowly.
"Why not?"
"Because you fight for the seps. You work for the sith. You…"
"Ahsoka, you can feel just as I that I am not using the dark side of the force."
It was true. Ahsoka could feel Ivia's frustration but no anger or the darkside.
"It cannot be possible. You.."
"Tell me…how is my dear Mace doing?"
"What?"
"We used to be together…secretly, of course. I always hated that about the order, not letting people be together. There is such a big difference between love and attachment. Hard to believe that Mace and I are now fighting against each other."
"That is impossible. Mace is so cold, he is incapable of love. "
"He was very loving, a long time ago. Ask my master."
"Who was your master?"
"Do you know or remember Coleman Trebor…of course not you were only a youngling at the time of Geonoisis."
"Then you were there when you saw your master die yet you help his killers! You dishonor your master!"
Ivia immediately frowned and pursed her lips as if she was tasting something bad.
"No! My master and all the other Jedi could have been saved if they hadn't tried to save Obi-wan, your master and that stupid senator!" She yelled, almost letting her anger get the better of her.
"Of course they needed to save them."
"We sacrificed 212 Jedi for only two and one senators and don't forget all the ones killed in the war."
"The war would have come anyway."
"You don't know nor can you prove it."
Ahsoka's blood was slowly starting to boil as she defended the Republic. Ivia's purple eyes seemed to glow as she told her story.
"The Republic holds us back. You back but not me anymore."
Ivia knelt next to Rex and took out a syringe and pushed it into one of his veins. She drew at a great amount of blood. Ahsoka watched in horror.
"Stop it. Just stop."
"Don't worry. It won't hurt him."
Ahsoka watched onwards Ivia took the blood and poured it into a vile of another mixture and put that into another syringe.
"There, it is finally complete."
"What?"
"The poison that will kill the entire clone army, I just needed the blood of Jango Fett to complete it. Now let's have your boyfriend be the first one to taste its pain. In fact, I will let him live and send him back to where he came from."
Ivia walked away from Ahsoka and came closer to Rex. It was just about to pierce the skin of Rex when Ahsoka force pushed her away from Rex.
"Don't touch him."
"Why afraid of another woman in his life?" Ivia smirked and came towards her with the lightsaber on.
Ahsoka looked around frantically for a weapon. The closest one at hand was the gun on Rex's belt. She grabbed it and quickly fired off a few shots, all of which either missed or were blocked by Ivia. Ahsoka wouldn't be able to last long without a light saber. She knew she needed to get Ivia away from Rex so she ran down the hall, having Ivia follow. Ivia was faster than Ahsoka and the only thing keeping her away from Ahsoka was the gun. Ahsoka ran into Ivia's workshop and looked for an extra lightsaber or something she could use against Ivia's lightsaber.
"You won't find anything. Ahsoka, we both know that you are going to fail. Just give up and everything will be fine. Trust me. I wouldn't kill you or your clone, I am a Jedi after all."
"You are going to poison him."
"Yes but it will end the war. The way of the Jedi, sacrifice one and save a million."
Ahsoka kept talking to Ivia as she scanned the room, finally she saw what she could use. It was a MagnaGuard droid's eletrostaff except with some modifications. In the blink of an eye, it was in her hand. It was an odd weapon and a little hard for her to use. However, it was better than the blaster. Ivia was taken by surprise at Ahsoka's agility even with her pregnancy. Ahsoka pushed hard, everything she had was at stake. Rex was at state. Their child was at state. She kept coming but Ivia had strength while Ahsoka's kept diminishing. Ivia taunted Ahsoka with a smile.
"Do you really think you can defeat me?"
Ahsoka remained silent letting the force flow and give her power. Ahsoka was now panting and the sweat dripped down her neck. The feeling of defeat crept into her heart, taking her determination and destroying.
"Ahsoka, not even the Force itself could save you."
Suddenly if the force wanted to answer, the child in Ahsoka's womb began to move and Ahsoka felt more strength coming. The sorrow and crush melted and were replaced with a new resolve. The elctrostaff was but a flash to Ivia. Ivia was pushed to wall. The staff and lightsaber were locked and pushing against each, the lightsaber dangerously close to Ivia's face. She had nowhere to run or hide. She drew the only thing she had left, her poisons. She took in her free hand the toxin she had made but a few minutes earlier. She injected it into the closest part of Ahsoka available, which was her shoulder. Ahsoka immediately with drew and rubbed her shoulder. She looked at Ivia in shock.
"Why? You said yourself that it would not work with someone without Jango's blood."
"Yes, exactly. Your child will now die. It will only take a few days before the child you carry will die! Unless you surrender to me then I can fix that."
" You are a monster!"
" Ahsoka, have I not treated you with the utmost care? I hate the war same as you but you are the enemy. Just surrender and everything will be fine."
Ivia smiled invitingly as if to show her that it was better. Ahsoka looked at her then her baby bump. She started to walk towards Ivia but then she felt her baby kicked harder than ever. It was as if the child herself was fighting against Ahsoka'a decision. Ahsoka patted her tummy and smiled. I can tell you will be like your father, Ahsoka thought. She looked at Ivia straight in the eyes and coolly said,
"I will not."
Ivia shook her head and smiled sadly.
"You are so naïve. Now I am afraid I will have to use force."
Both women raised their weapons but before the weapons even touched each other, two shots rang through the air. There was a second of stunned silence until realization settled in. Their eyes widened and both of them fell to the floor, unmoving.
A figure walked towards the females. When he saw who they were, he sighed.
"Finally."
Finally, I finished the chapter! I hope you liked it. Who is that person?
I will be updating hopefully everything this week or next but from my past, nothing ever goes to plan. I am thinking about getting a Beta reader so if anyone has suggestions on who or if you are one please tell me. I know my gramar is not good so I think a Beta would really help.
Happy Holidays to everyone! I would love to hear about your holiday experiences so if you want to you could leave in your review.
Thank for reading and please review!
And have a Happy New Year!
