Chapter 8

I took Zeilah's warning and tried to move out of Ventress's way but I wasn't fast enough, she slashed at my left shoulder cutting the fabric of my cloak and burning my skin. It may have been a small burn but man it's hurts like hell. I fell to my knees clutching my left shoulder to try and get rid of the pain. A shadow loomed over me and I noticed who's shadow it was.

It was her.

Even after all that she was still faster and stronger then me? Hehehe. I always knew I was useless. She's like a god compared to me. That feeling I had before was slowly fading away from me. It was useless wasn't it? The battle is lost, Obi-Wan is captured, and I'm kneeling towards my enemy. I heard the familiar hum of the lightsaber loom over me. Ventress's red saber was about to strike me down but a blue light suddenly appeared and blocked the saber. I looked up and saw Zeilah blocking Ventress's strike.

"Get some rest, I'll handle her" Zeilah said to me. I nodded and shuffled back a bit still clutching my left shoulder. Ventress took a swing for Zeilah neck but she side stepped out of the way before taking a swing at her. Ventress was faster then her and jumped back before force pushing her away. She quickly rushed to stab at Zeilah while she was down but she dived out of the way and Ventress got her saber stuck in the wall. She quickly deactivated and reactivated her lightsaber to get out of the wall.

Zeilah tried her best to bait her outside the room and away from me but Ventress wasn't easily fooled. Every time Zeilah moved back Ventress got closer to me forcing Zeilah to move forward. This battle wasn't like the many you see from the series, this was one of bloodlust and power. Both opponents knew they had to be stronger then the other and plan their attacks. With each swing Zeilah grew more tired while Ventress gained the upper hand. Zeilah knew she couldn't win but she might as well try, even if it means giving up her life.

It wasn't long before Zeilah was disarmed, she stood shocked as Ventress slashed her lightsaber from her hands. I had to help, I crawled towards my lightsaber but with every second Ventress's lightsaber got closer, I grabbed my lightsaber and quickly rushed towards Ventress. Before she could strike her down I blocked her saber with my green blade.

"I... Won't let... You do that..." I said weakly.

"You're still able to get up?" She hissed. I weakly swing my saber at her but she required little to no effort to dodge it. I took another swing but she still required no effort to dodge. I guess that battle took out everything I had. Unless...

I kept doing little swings and she kept dodging, she was toying with me but I had to keep it up. Swing after swing she kept dodging until I had her right where I wanted. She was pinned between me and a wall.

"RAHHHHH" I mustered up the last of my strength and charged at her full force with everything I had. She was taken back by this, she tried to jump back but the wall was in her way. I got closer and quickly slashed one of her lightsabers out of her hands. Yes! I took a full swing for her neck but she brought up her final saber and block it. I took a few more swings with everything I had but she still blocked all of them with just one saber, then I realized...

"Zeilah pass me your saber!" I yelled, she took noticed and through me her lightsaber. I was now equipped with dual blade lightsabers. I felt a pain in my left eye again but ignored it. I charged screaming while swinging my dual blades as fast as I could, this wasn't over! She was only equipped with just one saber while I had two, it was clear I had the upper hand. It wasn't long till I disarmed her a second time. I pointed my green saber at Ventress.

"Any last words?" I asked.

"Yes, die!" She screamed before picking up her saber and stabbing one of our charges we placed.

BOOM

My vision faded to black

Beep

Beep

What was that 'beeping' sound?

More importantly why was it there?

Where even am I?

Why was I here?

Beep

"He's awaking!" I heard a voice say. Awaking? Was I asleep? Still I couldn't see anything. We're my eyes shut? Joel, wake up...

Wake up...

Wake up, wake up, wake up.

"WAKE UP!
