Chapter thirteen: The duel

A/N Hey guys back with chapter Chapter Twelve: An unfair battle

A/N Hey guys chapter thirteen! :D sorry the last two chapters were short I wrote them at 10:00 at night so I rushed a bit. But to make up for that I'll make this one extra long! And the Naboo ARC will come to an end soon :( Anyway TO THY STORY!

-STAR WARS-

(Joel's POV)

Ventress.

I felt her presence behind me. It's not that hard to recognise. A sense full of hate, despair and anger. So when I felt her behind me I activated my lightsaber and turned to meet one of Ventress's duel blades.

I blocked her swing and sidestepped to the right to make a distance between us.

"Ahsoka! Ventress!" I yelled. Ahsoka turned to me and noticed Ventress. She then ran over to me and stood by my side. She activated her green lightsaber and went into a defensive position. While I went into my "Cening" stance.

Ventress rushed me first swinging madly while I had trouble blocking all her swings. She was about to overwhelm me but Ahsoka tried to attack her from behind. But Ventress wasn't stupid she turned to Ahsoka and started using one blade to fend her off.

"Rock! Get Obi Wan and squad out of here!" I yelled blocking another one Ventress's swings. I knew Ventress was powerful in the show but actually fighting her is insane!

Ahsoka and I tried our best to block Ventress's wild swings but we knew we couldn't last long. I looked Ventress in the eye for one second and noticed something. Her eyes were full of killer instincts, death and madness. All she wanted to do now was kill us nothing more.

I then heard a scream of pain and saw Ahsoka get struck in the shoulder!

"Ahsoka!" I yelled. I promised I would not make attachments but something came over me. Anger, hate but also peace and dignity washed over my body. My speed and strength then doubled to anything I've seen before! I rushed in front of Ahsoka in the blink of an eye preparing to kill anyone or thing that came over to us.

"Ahsoka get out of here now!" I yelled. For some reason I didn't know why but I actually cared for her safety something that has never happened before.

"No I can still fight!" Ahsoka said trying to stand up but collapsed a second later.

"You can't even stand up! Just get out of here!" I yelled.

"I'm not leaving you behind!" She responded. I don't know why she was being so arrogant but I couldn't stand it.

"God dammit Ahsoka! Just get out of here! I'll be fine!" I yelled back. I saw something in her eyes. Hope? In this world there is barely an hope...

"How cute the two Padawans fighting for the safety of each other" Ventress said mocking us "I don't care what you do at least I get to kill one of you!"

I growled at Ventress.

"Here at least take this" Ahsoka said giving me her lightsaber.

"Thank you this will help" I said turning to Ventress. "Let's go"

I activated Ahsoka's lightsaber and rushed Ventress light and fast on my feet I was able to dodge every attack she threw at me. I saw Ahsoka make it out of the door and escape with the help of the droids. I smiled to myself as she made it out alive. I don't know why but I felt a wave if happiness flow throughout me as I saw her leave.

I then decided to go on the offensive swinging wildly in an attempt to push her back.

"You are a strong one you know" Ventress said.

"So I've been told!" I said resuming my attack.

"You know I can improve your skill if you join me and become my apprentice" She said in an attempt to make me join her.

"No way! Why should I join a cut throat assassin!" I responded swing my duel blades at her.

"So be it!" She yelled. She then used the force to push me against a wall. The impact made me drop blades. "Now die!"

I then felt a huge pressure around my neck and I struggled to breathe. I desperately gasped for breath but couldn't get any!

Am I going to die!? Without knowing why I was sent here it who sent me? I can't die with this unanswered questions! I then felt the pressures round my neck stop and I fell to the floor. Why did she let me go?!

"How did you?! How did you break my force choke!" Ventress yelled. I did that? But how? Desperation? Fluke? I don't know. One thing I do know I can continue this fight. I gave Ventress a glare as I used the force to pick back up my lightsabers. She extended her hand to use the force but something happened.

"Why!? Why can't I use the force!?" Ventress yelled. What! She can't use the force!? Why?!

"No matter my job is done" Ventress said as she jumped away from and into a back exit. Dammit! I let her escape!

I then turned to the exit and made my way out. I opened the door and saw Ahsoka giving me a cold glare. Crap what have I done.

I then felt a pain in my leg and saw Ahsoka kick it!

"That's for being reckless!" She yelled.

"Yeah I deserved that" I replied. "At least I survived?"

She then kicked me again. God dammit how can I please her!?

"Let's just go" I said. The clones nodded in response and we continued down the hall way.

-STAR WARS-

Obi Wan turned to me and said.

"I'm proud of you Padawan you'll make a great Jedi one day"

That only made me frown. The real Joel was supposed to hear that not me. I was just an imposter. I'm stealing friendships Joel should have.

I was interrupted in my thoughts by the sound of a door opening. Me and Ahsoka activated our lightsabers and the clones drew their blasters.

The came Anakin who ran down the hall way with twenty clone troopers. I sighed at our overreaction.

"Glad you could make it Anakin" Obi Wan said.

"We could say the same to you" Anakin replied. We then continued our way out of the base. We may not have captured Ventress but we rescued Obi Wan. But there was still this nagging feeling that this was just the beginning...

-STAR WARS-

(Third POV)

Ventress was in her ship contacting Count Dooku. A holographic image of Dooku appeared on the com link.

"Have you fought the boy yet?" Dooku asked.

"I have master he is as powerful as you said he was" Ventress replied.

"How powerful?" Dooku asked.

"He managed to stop my link between the force some how and he uses a fighting style I've never seen before" Ventress replied.

"Hmmm is that so? We will keep a close eye on him then" Dooku replied. He then hanged up leaving Ventress to escape the planet...
