Rise of The Empire

Grievous

19 BBY~

Jade couldn't help but regret not saying goodbye to Padmé as Obi-wan and her's ships came out of hyperspeed. Jade then took a deep breath, becoming more focused on the mission since they couldn't turn back now. The big green planet sat in front of them.

They disconnected from their rings and flew down to the surface of the planet. It was silent, which was weird considering Obi-wan and Jade usually had a lot to talk about.

Once they got to the surface they followed their coordinates and found one of the cities, which happened to be a large dug out hole in the ground. The walls were rock and every fifty feet or so, a different level of the city was there. Jade followed Obi-wan's ship down to one of the levels' landing platforms. 

When they landed, Jade could definitely feel the Dark side. Grievous was definitely there, and they were being watched. Almost like it was a trap.

Jade and Obi-Wan were greeted by tall pale white men wearing tight red cloaks. Jade once again felt an uneasy feeling in her body as her and Obi-wan bowed to the man.

"Greetings, young Jedi," One of them spoke, coming closer as the others stayed behind. "What brings you to our remote sanctuary?"

Jade always let Obi-Wan speak to the civilians of the Republic, she wasn't as good with people as he was. "Unfortunately, the war," Obi-wan said.

"There's no war here," the man spoke, "unless you brought it with you."

"With your kind permission, we would like some fuel," Obi-wan said, pausing, "and use your city as a base as I search nearby systems for Grievous."

The man spoke some language that Jade didn't understand to some of the mechanics that sat on the landing platform. The man stepped forward, awfully close to Obi-wan who stood his place, "He is here," he said quietly, an awful amount of fear in his voice, "we are being held hostage. They are watching us."

Obi-wan spoke loudly, "I understand."

"Tenth level, thousands of battle droids," the man informed.

"Tell your people to take shelter, if you have warriors, now is the time," Obi-wan said. The man, Obi-wan and Jade all bowed to each other and Obi-wan and Jade walked back to their ships.

Jade was able to notice the three Separatist droids standing a ledge quite aways, spying on her and Obi-wan. Jade pretended to not see them as she hopped back into her ship and waited for Obi-wan's orders.

"Take the fighters back to the ships, tell Cody that we've made contact." Obi-wan told his and Jade's astromech.

Jade and Obi-wan snuck onto the backs of their starfighters and out of the droids who were spying's sight. Jade whistled slightly, grabbing Obi-wan's attention, "We're being spied on," she said, pointing upwards towards the lense.

Obi-wan nodded and let their ships take off slightly before jumping off and underneath the roof of the landing platform, hoods on.

Their astromechs flew their ships out and Jade watched the droids on the ledge leave their place. They have successfully tricked the droids and then got escorted to what Jade called the 'stables'.

Obi-wan and Jade were given an animal, almost like a giant lizard, so giant that both Obi-wan and Jade could ride on. Obi-wan hopped onto the saddle, offering his hand out to Jade who took it and swung her leg over and wrapped her arms around Obi-wan as the lizard-like animal took off running.

The animal came to a stop and Obi-wan muttered a 'hold on' to Jade before the animal leaped up and started climbing the rocks. Jade looked down at the gaping hole that just seemed like it went deeper and deeper and Jade just held on tighter, burying her face into Obi-wan's back slightly, causing him to chuckle.

Soon, they were on the tenth level and was walking across a metal platform, jumping down onto another, I could feel the dark side getting stronger.

They could now hear Grievous speaking to the leaders of the Separatists. "Without Count Dooku I have doubts about the ability to keep us safe!" One Trade Federation leader spoke.

Jade and Obi-wan were above them now, they hopped off the strange but sweet animal and crept closer. They walked to the edge of the bridge and leaned down, looking at the meeting that was taking place. Grievous was yelling at the Viceroy.

"Your ship is waiting," Grievous said, walking away from the table of Separatist leaders who all stood up. Multiple different droids follow Grievous, as did Jade and Obi-wan.

Grievous was surrounded by droids and Obi-wan looked down and started to take off his cloak. Jade looked at him, "Obi-wan, whatever you're thinking, stop thinking it."

Obi-wan only smirked at her before crouching down and then jumping off the bridge and landing right behind Grievous, "Hello there," was all he said.

"Dammit," Jade muttered as she crouched down, putting her hood on and staying quiet as all the droids and Grievous turned to Obi-wan.

"General Kenobi!" Grievous called out, almost excitedly.

More droids came and soon, Obi-wan was soon completely surrounded. Though, he had a secret weapon that was more powerful than any of them.

"You are a bold one," Grievous spoke to Obi-wan while laughing menacingly.

Four droids with electric staffs came towards him, Grievous backed up causing Jade to keep a closer eye on him. "Kill him.." Grievous ordered. Obi-wan took out his lightsaber and got ready and Jade looked around, finding a very large metal object at the top on the roof, Jade put her hand out and the object shook, soon falling down and crushing all four of the droids.

One of them had their feet underneath the object and crawled for his staff while Obi-wan walked around the object, slicing off its head.

All the other droids raised their guns, only to get yelled at by Grievous to back away. "I will deal with this Jedi slim myself!"

Obi-wan only looked at him and smiled, "Your move."

"You fool!" Grievous said, taking off his cape, "I have been trained in your Jedi arts by Count Dooku!" 

Grievous used his four arms to pull out four lightsabers and Obi-wan and Jade were unmoved by it. Grievous started swing the top two like a helicopter on the ground, slicing the ground as he got closer to Obi-wan. Once he went past the bridge that Jade was on, she took off her cloak and jumped down behind him. Grievous stopped and turned around to look at her. 

"Hello, droid, long time no see," Jade said, pulling out both her lightsabers. She knew he hated being called a droid, he was in no way Force sensitive which gave Jade and Obi-wan a great advantage.

Jade activated both of her lightsabers and ran towards the spinning lightsabers, and did a simple swing, letting it get blocked by Grievous to let Obi-wan attack him from behind. With four arms, he was able to block Obi-wan's attack as well, but Jade swung her second lightsaber and cut off one of Grievous' hands.

Grievous growled and swung at Jade, which she easily blocked. She pushed towards him and he spun around and let Obi-wan swing at him and cut off his other hand. He only had two now. It was then that Obi-wan and Jade both stepped back on either side of Grievous. He was about to attack again, when the clones had started shooting at the droids. Grievous looked almost confused but looked at Jade and Obi-wan, who were smirking, almost terrified.

"Go Jade! I'll take care of Grievous!" Obi-wan yelled causing Grievous to growl slightly. Jade nodded and quickly took a leap from one ledge to another to help the clones whilst Grievous laughed and turned to Obi-wan, spinning his lightsabers again.

Jade ran as fast as she could to where the droids and clones were in front of each other fighting. Jade quickly caught up with Cody and Emerald to help fight off droids. And anyone who was there at the battle would tell you that Jade had never killed more droids.
