Obi-wan's Love (book 2)

Show down

I get pushed forward by the blast and I struggle to get up. I crawl over to the side to watch the ship burn as it hits the ground. I sigh and bow my head in respect for a moment. Then I hear the sound of screaming from inside. It sounded like Anakin. I get up and move as quickly as I can all the while being careful of my injuries. I enter the room to see Obi-wan and Dooku walking in a slow circle around the room. I look to my right and see Anakin laying in a pile of garbage smoking. I know he got electrocuted. I make a move towards him and I sense a surge of force energy coming my way. I do a back handspring out of the way as I see lightning hit the wall behind where I was standing.

"Impressive for someone who has endured a full night of torcher," Dooku says and I glare at him. "And still so feisty."

"Why don't I show you how feisty I can be?" I say as I make my way over towards him and he smirks.

"As much as I'd love to fight you. I'm afraid someone else will have that opportunity." He says and then as quick as a flash I turn and block a lightsaber blow that would have killed me.

"Good job, Vanna. You've learned something." Stark says and I grunt and kick him away. He lands on his feet and he smiles at me. He charges at me and I block him. We enter into the dangerous and deadly dance of the lightsaber sweeping across the floor all over the room. I begin to tire out shortly after and he kicks me across the room. I slam into the wall and then I hit the floor with a thud. I groan and I feel something pressing itself into my consciousness. I fight it off and I look up just in time to see Stark hold his hand out shooting lightning at me. I shoot my hand out in front of me and I deflect the lighting straight at him and his eyes widen. It hits him and I slowly get up. I grunt and hold my side as he hits the far wall.

I look to Obi-wan and Anakin to see Obi-wan get the side of his arms cut. I run towards him as Dooku lifts his saber up to kill Obi-wan. Anakin comes out of nowhere and blocks him as I am pushed away. My back his the wall and I go through it and I go tumbling out onto a loading bay. I groan as I feel my strength slowly deteriorating. I try to force myself onto my hands and knees, but I collapse.

"You know, I thought that you would have been different. I thought that you would be the one who would take up the mantle of my legacy, but I was horribly wrong. You are just another average Jedi; who blindly follows the rules and never asks a question." Stark says as he slowly stalks towards me. I slowly push myself up on my hands and knees screwing my eyes shut as I feel my ribs throb. "So disappointing. I always thought that you would be different. When you came to the temple I saw you and you were so full of determination at such a young age. I knew then that I had to train you myself. In order to realize your full potential, you had to be separated from those weak-minded Jedi. That is why I took you to Jakku to separate you from their narrow mindedness and their outdated ways."

I slowly stand and look at him through my mess of a mop of hair that has fallen out of its tie. I face him and he shakes his head.

"You never did learn how to stay down when you were beaten. Maybe this time you will, or you will die." He says as he lifts his hand and lighting shoots out of his fingertips. My eyes widen and I roll out of the way and almost over the side of the pathway. I grab onto the edge and grunt as I try to pull myself up. Stark just stands there with a smirk on his face as my grip slips slightly. "I should get back to Dooku he's probably killed off those other two by now. Have a nice fall, Vanna."

He walks away laughing as I begin to lose my grip on the edge. My hands begin slipping as I feel my body begin to lower until I am just holding on by my fingertips. I feel a whine making it's way up my throat. I don't know what to do. I don't want to die, but I have nothing left my hands slowly let go and I am free falling. There isn't even enough energy left in me to scream. I can't be far from the ground now.
