SimFlyer: I try to give believable reasons for his defeat, as well as not make him WAY too skilled. But Count Dooku is a skilled swordsman.

Goldspark1: Well, jayden doesn't know if he'll have to clash against Ventress on Dooku's order, but he knows how the Rule of Two works. And what exactly were you expecting to feel when Jayden killed the Jedi? This was about his hatred for them, blaming them for the deaths of his parents because they are the so-called 'peacekeepers'. The purpose of it was mainly to show Jayden during a training session, what he was doing during the events of Attack of the Clones, and also try to delve deeper into his hate for the Jedi.

Guest02957: The true pairing is still OC/Ahsoka, that is NOT changing for anything. It's not becoming a harem, it's not becoming a threesome, I'm just pointing out that it doesn't mean Jayden can't be with other women before he gets with Ahsoka. But it's all about what type of relationship he has, like the 'fuck buddy' thing he has with Ventress, and as for Riyo... it may be more friends with benefits. With Ahsoka, it's actual love and romance.

Bonzodogdd: it was. I feel it was a pretty cool fan-film to set the stage for one of Jayden's past training sessions.

DuckBoi: Sidious is the greatest chess player in the Star Wars universe, given how he played both the Republic and the Separatists in the Clone Wars. He knows what can be useful and valuable and what can't. If there's something or someone powerful than can be useful to him for a while, he won't get rid of it and use any way to keep it under control, even let them live in illusion.

Karenisfired: Thanks.

Location: The Invisible Hand, Saleucami System.

Region: Outer-Rim

Date: 21 BBY

Saleucami was a planet located in the Saleucami system, within the Suolriep sector of the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories. Since the beginning of the Clone Wars, the inhabitens of the planet wished to have no part in the war. However, their wishes were to no longer be granted as the war had finally come to their planet with the arrival of General Grievous' fleet, the droid general intending to invade the planet and bring it under Separatist control. By any means necessary.

On the bridge of Grievous' capital ship, the Invisible Hand, Jayden stood near the restrained Jedi master Eeth Koth, who was held by energy cuffs. The Sith Apprentice had his arms crossed over his chest, staring at the planet ahead while Grievous arrived on the bridge with his hands clasped behind his back. However, both of their attention was caught by the voice of the T-Series Tactical droid.

"Sirs, we have entered the Saleucami system." The droid reported.

Grievous chuckled, pleased, before ordering. "Begin preperations for our landing."

Before that could happen, a B1 pilot droid spoke up. "Sir, there are several ships coming out of Hyperspace."

Jayden and Grievous shared a look before the Sith Apprentice asked. "Are they Republic or Separatist?"

A second of silence, then the droid responded. "Republic. Three cruiser class, four escort class."

Rather than be alarmed, Grievous merely chuckled as he turned to face the restrained Zabrak Jedi. "You see? Your compassionate friends have come to rescue you. Just as I knew they would."

The tactical droid then spoke after checking a monitor. "Sir, one of the Republic ships is hailing us."

"Put him through." Grievous ordered. The crew obeyed, and a second later the screen above fizzed and then switched to reveal none other than Obi-Wan Kenobi.

And if Kenobi's here... Skywalker can't be too far. Jayden thought with narrowed eyes underneath his mask.

"General." Obi-Wan greeted with a small smirk. "I knew one day I'd catch up to you."

"Kenobi! What a surprise." Grievous said sarcastically, not really as surprised since he expected the Republic to mount a rescue mission for the captive Jedi behind him. "I assume you are here to bring me to justice?

"You know me too well." Obi-Wan shrugged lightly.

"Indeed I do!" Grievous chuckled darkly, then cut transmissions before ordering the pilots. "Prepare to fire all cannons, and be alert."

"If Kenobi is here... Skywalker is not far behind." Jayden said, earning a nod from Grievous.

"The enemy ships are faster and more maneuverable. I suggest caution." The tactical droid advised.

"Draw them in. I want to board that vessel." Grievous said before clenching a fist. "I shall kill Kenobi face to face.


Aboard the Negotiator...

"Well, we certainly have his attention." Obi-Wan commented lightly to Cody, then tapped his wrist-com to open up the channel to Admiral Yularen. "Admiral Yularen, keep Grievous' fleet occupied so Anakin's arrival is undetected."

"Yes, General. Commence attack! All ships fire at will!" Yularen ordered, and a second later the Republic ships began firing upon the Separatist ships, who returned fire. The escort ships flew to attack the frigate ships, who fired back with some strikes causing smoking, burning wrecks that descended into the vastness of space.

"Commander Cody, do you have the exact coordinates of the command ship yet?" Obi-Wan inquired.

Cody nodded. "We are patching them through now, sir."

"Good." Obi-Wan said then looked out to where he could see Grievous' main ship. I hope Anakin can show up. I sense a dark presence on that ship.

A few seconds later, the Republic cruiser shook, causing the men to stumble, and began to be pulled towards Grievous' ship. Cody checked the screens to see what was going on, and reported it to Obi-Wan."Tractor beam has us, sir. Shall we fire on the source?"

"No, Cody." Obi-Wan stood. "Let them think they have us. We need the diversion for Anakin."


Aboard the Invisible Hand

Through one of the air ducts, a blue Lightsaber pierced the top and went into a circle before it popped open, allowing Anakin Skywalker to climb out to give the corridor a look over, spotting a droid patrol turn down another corridor. A second later, Adi Gallia joined him. After two more seconds of making sure the coast was clear, Anakin turned to the vent.

"The coast is clear, Rex." He said, and the Clone captain popped out of the vent.

"Copy that, sir." he said and climbed out, followed by a couple more Clone Troopers as Adi's wrist-device beeped. "Stay here and guard the entrance. This may be our only way out.

"Skywalker," Adi said, getting Anakin's attention. "Master Koth is located on the bridge. This way." She pointed straight ahead and Anakin gave a nod before the Jedi rushed off together, leaving Rex and the Clones to stand guard.


On the Bridge...

Jayden snapped his head up as he sensed two Force-signatures through the Force coming towards the bridge, one of which he recognised all too well.

"Skywalker." He growled, then looked at the tactical droid. "Make sure Koth is guarded. I will deal with the Jedi myself."

"Yes, sir." The droid said in it's monotone, cold voice.

Jayden turned, taking his Lightsabers off his belt, and standing between Koth and the bridge doors just as they opened and Anakin and Adi came rushing in, pausing as Jayden activated his Lightsabers, the red and purple blades humming.

"Hello, Skywalker." Jayden greeted coldly.

"Khan... should've guessed you would be here." Anakin said with a fierce glare, gripping his Lightsaber.

"Surrender." Adi ordered, pointing her blade at the red-clad Sith.

"No." Was all Jayden said before he twirled his Lightsabers then lunged, causing the Jedi to leap to the opposite sides to avoid his strike. Jayden whirled around and blocked their double attack with his blades, looking between them before he pushed them off, dropped to his knees to avoid another double attack, spring to his feet while parrying an attack from Adi while swinging his other blade at Anakin who blocked it only to get a kick to the chest. Jayden quickly jumped and rolled over Anakin's back to avoid Ad's Lightsaber, then Force pushed the so-called 'Chosen One' into the wall, focusing on Adi.

Adi twirled her blade, entered a stance, then attacked. Jayden blocked and parried her attacks before he quickly switched their positions, him going on the offensive with relentless attacks that forced the Jedi to go on the defensive, then Jayden caught her off guard with a jump and double kick to the face that sent the Jedi to the ground with a grunt. Jayden landed on his feet and was quick to re-engage Anakin in a duel, ducking, blocking and parrying the Jedi's attacks before he leaped over Anakin and tried slashing his back only for Anakin to block the red and purple sabers with a grunt as the two glared at each other.

Jayden sensed Adi coming for an attack from behind and took his purple black from his saber-lock with Anakin to block her blue blade, now back in a double saber-lock. He looked between them as they tired to overpower him, making him slid back a step a little. Connecting to the Force, he ripped a chunk out of the wall and sent it at Adi, who quickly broke the saber lock to slash the wall piece, but this cost her as Jayden kicked her in the face hard to send her down the steps and colliding with a console.

"Adi!" Anakin called, but was forced back.

"Focus, Skywalker." Jayden chuckled and went on the attack once more, the sound of the Lightsabers' humming filling the bridge. However, Jayden didn't keep up his attack on Anakin long enough as he ducked a swing and thrusted forward, getting Anakin in the shoulder a little.

"Gah!" Anakin abcked off, holding the shoulder with gritted teeth. Jayden storde forward, twirling his Lightsabers. Anakin swung, but Jayden parried and kicked ANakin's legs out from under him, forcing him onto his back, his Lightsaber rolling away from him. Jayden lined his blades with Anakin's heart and neck, then raised them for the killing blow.

With a yell, Aid leaped in and blocked Jayden's sabers, forcing him to focus on her, but not before he sent Anakin flying with a quick Force push.

The working of Jayden's red and purple Lightsabers, flashing ahead and back with equal precision, picking off attack after attack and even countering once or twice to interrupt the flow of Adi's barrage.

As Anakin got back to his feet, he quickly found himself surrounded by Commando droids, causing him to huff as he called his Lightsaber to him and activated it, pausing when the tactical droid electrocuted Koth, which made Anakin glare the droid.

"One more step and your friend will die." The droid warned. "Ha, ha, ha."

"I don't think so." Anakin growled, then Force dashed forward, his blue Lightsaber swinging through the air and cutting the droid's right arm off, ensuring he wouldn't be electrocuting Koth anytime soon. He then focused on taking out the Commando droids, and once that was done set about freeing Koth from his restraints. The sound of Lightsabers clashing caught his attention and he looked to see Adi still battling Khan fiercely.

Adi parried and blocked Jayden's relentless attacks as the Sith Apprentice swung red, then purple, and switched his patterns up as he demonstrated his skill in duel-wielding. But Adi was a member of the Jedi Council, and a skilled swordswoman in her own right. However, Jayden had killed other Jedi just as skilled as she was, so he was not seeing any difference much except a slight challenge in combat.

Adi dropped underneath a side swing and got right back to her feet, whirling around with her Lightsaber raised, onky to gasp when she was stabbed through the chest by Jayden's red blade.

"Adi!" Anakin shouted with wide eyes.

Adi shakily looked down at the red blade then looked at the expressionless visor of her opponent, before her eyes closed and her body fell to the floor after Jayden pulled his weapon out.

With a growl and a glare, Anakin shot his hand out and ripped several consoles and computers from their components, then brought them directly into Jayden who grunted as he was buried under it all. Anakin grabbed Koth and began helping him out, when the rubble was thrown off by the Force, and Jayden stumbled to his feet with an angry growl.

"Time to go." Anakin said and ran off with Koth, supporting the Zaback as Jayden gave chase. However, Anakin wasn't intending on having him chase them all the way to the ship, so he lashed out with the Force and caught Jayden in a Force choke, then slammed him into the wall repeatedly before dropping him to the floor when he saw the Sith Apprentice go limp. Anakin grabbed Koth and continued on his way, even as Jayden gave a slight groan to show he was not as knocked out as Anakin had hoped.

That hurt... Jayden thought, fighting to his feet. He grabbed his Lightsabers, about to continue the chase even after getting slammed wall-to-wall, but with the ship shaking violently, and alarms blaring, Jayden knew it was time to leave which made him growl. "Until next time, Skywalker." He muttered and raced off to the hanger where the Rouge Shadow was docked.

This fight wasn't over yet though. For Jayden very much intended to call the Black Scythe over and deal with the Republic ships...


And that's it for this chapter Sorry if it wasn't any good or lacked anything good and attention grabbing, but... I did kill off Adi early rather than having Maul do it later on. Anyway, next chapter will be taking place at the same time as "The Deserter" episode. I understand Anakin fought the Separatists in space above the planet while Obi-Wan confronted Grievous on the planet.

Well, Jayden is remaining above the planet to take on Anakin's ships, and also debut his new starfighter for space battles and dogfights.
