34-Cough Drop?

(y/n)'s POV
"Thank you so much for watching him Lida." I handed BD to her. I wasn't going to take him on the mission, the last thing I needed was to be worrying about him while facing Grievous.

"Of course." She smiled as he hopped onto her shoulder, "When you get back you're going to have to give me all the details of the wedding." She spoke low so only I would be the only one to hear her.

"You know I will." I winked and gave her a hug before walking to Anakin who was leaning in the doorway of Lida's office. He turned and left the room without saying anything to her which I found odd but decided to shrug it off, maybe he's just nervous about the mission.

We reached the hangar and Obi-Wan was waiting at the entrance of our cruiser. "You were suppose to be here twenty minutes ago." He scolded us and Anakin gave a smirk.

"Sorry, she was having trouble with her armor." He nudged me on the shoulder and I rolled my eyes.

"Somehow I doubt that." He shook his head, "Let's go."

~*~•~*~

We reached Kamino and it appears we got there just in time. I could see multiple machines drilling into the walls of Kamino and they were opening and dropping battle droids all around. The clones that were inside were fighting off as best as they could but seem to be overpowered. Grievous was nowhere in sight but something told me that he was here.

"Let's go now!" Anakin shouted and we jumped from our ships onto the platforms and our clone troops dropped down using zip lines. "Be careful." He whispered to me before running and dismembering the battle droids in his path.

The battle picked up quickly, Ahsoka was using her green lightsabers and was jumping from droid to droid tearing them apart, sparks flying everywhere. Obi-Wan was working along side Cody and the rest of the 212th trying to destroy the machines that seemed to be dropping more and more droids. Anakin was nowhere to be seen, last I saw of him he was running inside with Rex and Fives to help the clones and Kaminoans inside that were being attacked. The 501st were scattered everywhere shooting at the droids and the machines.

I was everywhere, cutting through each droid I saw while searching for Grievous. He was here and I could feel it. After a few more minutes of my search I jumped on top of one of the rounded roofs and there he was. Standing there watching over the battle, he didn't see me or hear me come from behind him. Or so I thought.

"Well if it isn't the traitor." He slowly turned around to face me and he started to cough uncontrollably causing me to chuckle.

"You okay?" I asked with fake concern and I slowly walked around him twirling my weapons in my hands. "Cough drop?" I teased to annoy him and by the anger growing on his face and the growl he let out, I could tell it was working.

"I have to live with this cough thanks to you." He slowly inched towards me and I took a few steps back to keep our distance, "You should have killed me." He grabbed lightsabers from his cloak before throwing it off of him. Two more mechanical arms popped out and each mechanical hand grabbed a lightsaber and ignited them.

"Now I'll get the chance." I smirked as he started twisting the weapons in his hand causing them to create burn marks and sparks against the floor and he stepped towards me.

"Count Dooku has trained me in the art of lightsabers, you will not last against me." He growled.

"Let's see what you're made of then." I advanced towards him.

Our weapons clashed together and I have to admit I was struggling against him. He was putting up a good fight, better than he ever used to. I jumped back to catch my breathe. "Dooku taught you well."
