4 years ago. 21 BBY. The Second year of The Clone Wars.

You're thrown out of your usual Jedi Mediation session by Kuhi tapping your kneecap. You open your eyes.

Kuhi: Hey.

Y/N: Hey to you too.

You stand up.

Y/N: You have any idea how early it is?

Kuhi: Says the boy meditating before sunrise. 

Y/N: Touché.  How are things going between you and Master Zeliana? 

Kuhi: Eh. It's normal as is. But the boys in the 98th are keeping morale up like always. By the way, I heard from Ahsoka that Mandalore is going through it right now with Death Watch.. Honestly I'd rather stay away from there. It's nasty business from top to bottom.

Y/N: You don't say. Sometime after this fight is over, maybe Mandalore will return to normal. Besides, it won't stay in disarray for long.

Kuhi: That's right. Us Jedi won't stop fighting for peace. No matter where the people are, let alone their worlds.

Kuhi's communicator beeps twice.

Kuhi: Guess that's my cue. I'll see you later.

You hug Kuhi, Kuhi hugs you back before she leaves your room, the door opening before closing. Raze walks in taking his helmet off. He chuckles.

Raze: Let me guess Y/N, you like Kuhi?

Y/N: No. No no no no. Nope. Nope. I'm out.

You walk out, Raze laughs.

Present day.

The alarms blare in a warehouse, complete with red bubbling fluid in every tank. The source of the alarm is a group of intruders is Bane and two other men. Surrounded by guards on the ground and guards on the catwalks cocking their rifles.

Kobra Agent: Nuestro Maestro sublime proclama que él saldrá de esta instalación... si... uno de ustedes derrota a su campeón en combate singular.
[Our sublime Master proclaims he will depart this facility... if... one of you defeats his champion in single combat.]

Bane pushes aside the foot soldiers that came with him, walking to the gated door with pride. A buzzer goes off and Bane holds the door. 

Bane: Solo que se interesante.
[Just make it interesting.] 

He then shoves the door open and walks in. The soldier smirks as the door shuts behind him. Inside Bane, sees that there are many more soldiers on the interlocking catwalks, all of them armed with rifles. A buzzer goes off, drawing the bodybuilder's attention to the door on the other side of the arena. Where two people stand. Both of them blonde-brunettes with black pants and boots, and blue tank tops that cut off to expose their stomachs. Only the male walks through, but he's thin which gets Bane's attention, albeit with confusion. Behind Bane, a black gauntlet with red tubes on it, attached to a long clear tube falls to the floor. He picks it up, confused. 

Bane: ¿Me devuelto mi mayor arma? ¿Cuál es el truco?
[You give me back my greatest weapon? What's the catch?]

Kobra Agent: Ningún truco. No sería una prueba de la destreza de su campeón si no estuviera en su mejor.
[No catch. It would hardly be a test of his champion's prowess if you were not at your best.]

Bane attaches the gauntlet. 

Bane: ¿Quieres mi mejor? Lo conseguiste.
[You want my best? You got it.] 

He cracks his neck. He then activates the venom feed as he connects to the back of his head. His pupils dilating as he grunts the Venom flowing through his body. As it finishes, he's panting and turning towards his opponent.
