At first, it seemed the Inquisitor had the upper hand but Neeran was already planning ahead. Neeran had been studying the Inquisitor battle patterns and she'd found a weakness.
And she was going to exploit it.
The Inquisitor lunged at Neeran and she parried to the side and ran her Lightsaber up to his hilt.
"Check."
The Inquisitor looked surprised but quickly hid it and swiped a fist at Neeran. Neeran ducked under his punch and swept him off his feet.
The Inquisitor tumbled backwards and stood up. Neeran remained crouched on the ground looking up at him.
"Why do you care about this boy so much, Jedi scum?"
Unknown to Neeran, her right eye became a cat-slit and her tail started thrashing about wildly behind her.
"He isn't just a boy, he's my child!"
"Yours? He's not yours, you bought him."
"And that means you Imperial assholes aren't doing a very good job in the Outer Rim are you!" retorted Neeran.
Neeran swung her Lightsaber at him, and he deflected it easily.
"Oh, I think we are."
Neeran growled at him whilst still trying to hit him.
"The boy will fall. And when he does, I will be there to collect him."
"No!" shouted Neeran, her left eye becoming a cat-slit and she lost herself to darkness. Neeran launched herself out at the Inquisitor, thrusting her Lightsaber at him wildly and randomly. The Inquisitor deflected most of them with ease, with only one or two of her strikes hitting there target.
Suddenly, something extraordinary happened.
Whether Neeran just got lucky or the Inquisitor just lost focus remains a mystery to everyone, even the two present.
Somehow, Neeran managed to slip through the Inquisitors defence and kill his astro-plain body. Neeran's eyes reverted back to the way they originally were and she saw the Inquisitors astro-plain body fade.
"How-?" started Neeran, who was cut off by the Inquisitor saying,
"Impressive. You certainly are a worthy opponent."
With that his astro-body faded into nothing and Neeran was alone in the expanses of Ezra's mind.
"Well, at least the mind-link is broken," said Neeran. "For now."
With that thought, Neeran left Ezra's mind and went back to her own.
