Eye Of The Needle (Star Wars)

Chapter 15: The Clone Wars Have Begun

As we flew over Geonosis, we spotted Dooku in a speeder along with Vorlega. However as we followed them, the ship shook and Padmé accidentally fell out, tumbling to the ground. I was then taken back upon seeing Anakin's reaction. "Padmé! Put the ship down!"

"Anakin! Don't let your personal feelings get in the way!" Obi-Wan advised.

"Follow that speeder!" I ordered the pilot. 

"No, lower the ship!" Anakin protested.

"I can't take Dooku and his apprentice on without Storm's and your help! I need you! If we catch him, we can end this war right now! We have a job to do!" Obi-Wan reminded him.

"I don't care! Put the ship down!" Anakin argued.

"You will be expelled from the Jedi order!" Obi-Wan warned.

"I can't leave her!"

I can't believe what I was hearing...Anakin loves Padmé. Obi-Wan wasn't haven't it though as he tried to snap Anakin out of it before he could do anything rash.

"Come to your senses!" Obi-Wan snapped.

"What do you think Padmé would do were she in your position?" I questioned, trying to bring him back.

This seemed to do the trick as he turned to face us. "She would do her duty."

As soon as we caught up to Dooku, he was inside a tall Geonosis building with a ship prepared to leave. I scanned the room in search for Vorlega, but she was nowhere in sight. That's odd, where did she go?

"You're gonna pay for all the Jedi that you killed today, Dooku." Anakin said as we took out our lightsabers.

"We'll take him together. Go in slowly on the left. Storm, you go in slowly to the right." Obi-Wan advised.

"I'm taking him now!" Anakin exclaimed as he lunged forth towards Dooku.

"No, Anakin! No!" Obi-Wan and I yelled out, trying to warn him.

However it was too late as Dooku released his Force lightning on Anakin, causing him to scream before falling aside near the wall. At that moment, Vorlega then appeared out of the shadows with bright yellow eyes. "Hello cousin."

"Cousin?" Obi-Wan repeated rather baffled.

I sighed. "It's a long story."

"As you see, my Jedi powers are far beyond yours. Now...back down." Dooku warned.

"I don't think so." Obi-Wan rebuked.

As Dooku took on Obi-Wan, Vorlega faced me. Vorlega and I circled around each other, waiting to see who would make the first move. I quickly looked at her fighting stance as I felt an immense amount of rage radiating off of her. Vorlega quickly grew impatient as she lunged forth as she let out a battle cry. I hastily raised my lightsaber clashing it with one of the sides of her blood red doubled-bladed lightsaber. She was quite strong, but I could still take her on. 

I saw her raising her leg to kick me, so I quickly crouched, causing her leg to go over my head. I then used the Force to push her back, causing her to hit the wall with a thud. Vorlega groaned before stumbling over her feet as she stood up. She made her way towards me, igniting her lightsaber ready to strike me again. I looked at her stance, examining and observing to see what she planned to do next.

"Master Kenobi, you disappoint me. Yoda holds you in such high esteem. Surely you can do better." I heard Dooku taunted Obi-Wan.

Vorlega wore a wicked grin. "You disappoint me as well, Storm."
