Comatose (Ahsoka X Axle)

Knocked Down

Axle's POV

I walked back over the the medical house. The doctor was still working on Ahsoka's ribs and she was still asleep. "She'll be fine. She just needs another day or two." The doctor said as I walked over. I knelt down and held Ahsoka's hand. The doctor turned to me, "I hear you're going to fight the dragon." "If the Mayor holds up his end of the bargain." I said. The doctor looked down at my necklace, "You killed one before?" I nodded, "These dragons are incredible creatures. I battled one before. It lost. Let's see how tough this one is."

I stood on top of the giant wall. The forest in the distance was still covered in fog. The wind blew in my hair. My arms stayed crossed. My clothes were in bad shape. My shirt was halfway ripped to shreds. My pants were tighter because of less cloth. I had small pieces of white cloth tied around my hands to cover the cuts and bruises. One of the lead guards walked up behind me, "You don't seem like in the best shape. You sure you don't need to rest for a day before you go out there?" I shook my head, "Ahsoka and I have been on this planet for almost a week. We need to get back to the Republic and the only way to do that is to hold up my end of the deal." I took another moment to relax my sense.

I walked towards the gateway as the doors opened and closed behind me. I stood outside the wall which allowed me to sense everything else around the planet. I saw the same owl from the Mayor's garden fly overhead. It's green feathers flapped in the wind. I took another deep breath and started walking towards the forest. 

3rd Person

Guards watched from the wall as Axle came closer to the trees. A loud roar could be heard in the distance. Some of the guards flinched by the shear noise, but Axle made no other movements other than one foot in front of the other. The Mayor stood next to his men and watched with them. "Such strength." He said, "A Master of the beasts walks towards his prey with no emotion even if he was injured." The lead guard responded, "Sir, don't you think it's risky for him to go alone?" The Mayor grinned, "This is a perfect test of his skill as a combatant. I have heard the stories first hand from other Jedi that this young man has mastered several forms of lightsaber combat."

Axle's POV

I stood right in front of the trees. The ground rumbled and the large roars continued to grow. I got down on my knees and closed my eyes. The only way to kill a Krayt Dragon is to strike it at its weakest. This is going to be a challenge. This one felt bigger than the last. I took in deep breaths. Inhaling through the nose and exhaling out through the mouth. I placed my saber in front of me as I continued to control my fear and anxiety. 

The rumbling got closer. The trees started to shake violently. Some even fell over. The shaking got so close that I felt like I was on a trampoline. Then all of a sudden, the shaking stopped. The ground became still. The trees stood still. I took in one more deep breath and my eyes snapped open as I quickly force pulled my saber to hand and jumped up in the are as the Krayt Dragon shot up to the surface from right where I was sitting. I landed on my feet and ignited my sabers. The dragon roared and shook itself recovering from its entrance to the surface. I stared into its eyes in my battle stance. There was no emotion in my eyes. Only a focus on the fight. The dragon dove its head down to where I stood. I force jumped up and landed on its back. My sabers slashed at it's flesh. I jumped off and continued to do hit and run tactics to get it tired. 

After about five minutes, it aimed it's head at me again and shot acid spit at me. I quickly jumped out of the way and hit the ground rolling. I quickly jumped up and charged it throwing my shoto saber right at its face. The saber dug deep into the beast's skin right next to its eye. I force jumped up and grabbed my shoto and stabbed my other blade right in its eyes. The dragon screamed out in pain and shook its entire body. My chest slammed into the ground. I screamed out in pain and gasped for air. That's some more ribs cracked or even broken I bet. The dragon dove it's head on my position again. I barely managed to dive out of the way. Then, it's tail came out of nowhere and smacked me in the back. I flew into the wall of the city. COME ON!!! GET UP!!! I thought to myself. I slowly raised up. I charged the dragon again as it spit its acid at me. This time when I dodged out of the way, some of the acid hit my chest. I fell to my knees and screamed out in pain disengaging my sabers. "GET UP!!!" I screamed out loud. I placed one foot down, but I fell back to my knees. Then the tail came out of nowhere once again and smacked my so hard I went flying. I saw the city below me as I crashed into one of the buildings. Then I saw blankness again.
