The Makings Of Greatness | Obi-Wan Kenobi

Foolishness

Vale's P.O.V.

"This way!" I call out as we step off the ship onto the hangar. "He's about to leave!"

Obi-Wan, Anakin, and I run into the hangar with our light sabers at the ready. I turn a corner of where I sense Count Dooku about to leave. Running through a threshold, we find his back to us before he turns from sensing our presences.

"You're going to pay for all the Jedi you killed today, Dooku."

Anakin declares when Count Dooku rests his eyes on the three of us. Ani and I stand on either side of Obi-Wan as we stare down Dooku. His ship is ready for takeoff on this docking bay, all he needs to do is get inside.

"We'll take him together." I hear Obi-Wan mumble to us. "Go in slowly on the left."

"I'm taking him now!" Anakin growls before running towards Dooku. My eyes go wide and I lift a hand, shouting. "Ani! No!"

"No! Anakin! No!"

Obi-Wan shouts in his authoritative tone as we watch him reach Dooku. Within the next second, the Count raises his hand and electrifies him. He throws Ani into the wall beside him, still electrifying him in the process.

"As you can see, my Jedi powers are far beyond yours." Dooku announces, while letting Anakin go to the floor. Ani's twitching on the floor beside the wall as Dooku insists. "Now... Back down."

Obi-Wan walks further into the room slowly, holding his saber up cautiously. I stay on the left side of Dooku, slowly pacing to see who he will try to strike first. That's when Dooku lifts his hand again and shoots out electric charges from his fingertips to Obi-wan.

He raises his saber against the bolts with his saber and keeps slowly moving. Not one electric charge hits Obi-Wan, making Dooku stop. Tilting his head, Obi-Wan says in all seriousness.

"I don't think so."

I watch Dooku take out his saber and I gradually stand near him on the side. He's staring at Obi-Wan while making glances at me. When I see Obi-Wan move into attack position, I spin to strike at Dooku.

Dooku swerves out of my direction and blocks Obi's attack. The three of us instantly getting a rhythm dance of defending and attacking. Dooku keeps Obi-Wan and I from attacking at the same time by moving his body away from one of us.

His movements are swift and precise than I anticipated. His skills with his saber are elegant and with each move he makes with his blade, it's a near miss to Obi-Wan or me. He blocks both of our sabers before spinning and stepping away from us.

"Master Kenobi, you disappoint me. Surely you can do better." The Count announces amused before glancing at me and suggesting. "I would leave with what you have, Master Palpatine. A life is too precious to gamble with."

"Where was that thinking earlier?" I spit out as Obi-Wan and I slowly walk around Dooku. "If you used your own advice, many Jedi would still be alive."

"Ah... But you see, not every Jedi carries two lives as you do."

Dooku chuckles, making my heart skip a beat as his words, making me wonder if he's talking about a baby. I glance at Obi-Wan, whose eyes are already on me with concern. When I look back at the Count, I see him watching us suspiciously.

The next second, Dooku smiles at us before spinning his blade towards us. I spin away from him while blocking just as Obi-Wan slams his blade against it. The three of us moves quick and hit our blades against one another like it's a race.

Dooku blade hits Obi-Wan's saber deliberately before forcing him to stubble back. When I come behind Dooku, I go to stab him when he jumps up and flips in the air. He lands behind Obi-Wan and moves to strike him down.
