Chapter 10

*Anakin's POV*

Ashoka roared as she charged at me again both her blades raised above her head ready to strike me. She ran at me full speed but I managed to flip over her and push her to the ground. She landed with a thud and bashed her fist against the mat in frustration. As she turned to get up I pointed my lightsaber at her throat signaling that I had won. 

She sighed and pushed herself up putting her lightsabers back onto her belt.

" You were too distracted. Your emotions were unbalanced that's why I beat you so easily." I said.

" Anakin was right you were too distracted." Obi-wan said from behind me nearly making me jump out of my skin.

I quickly spun around and was shocked to see Obi-wan my mom and  Padme standing by the door. Padme blushed as our eyes met. I can't blame her especially after the night we had.

" I know I was distracted but I can't help it. My trials are in less than two weeks and I'm so nervous." Ashoka sighed as she slumped into a chair.

She bowed her head in shame. I could feel the sadness coursing through her in waves.

My mom and Padme rushed to her and wrapped their arms around her pulling her into a hug.

I knelt down in front of her and raised her head up so that I could look her right in the eye.

" Snips I understand that you are nervous and upset but we all know that you can do this. Over these last few years, you have grown Into a strong Jedi. So trust me when I saw you are gonna kick ass at those trials. The other Padawans won't even know what hit them by the time you are done."

She smiled at my speech. Her nerves and sadness washed away as if they were never there.

" Thanks, Master." She smiled.

" Any time Snips."

" We are here for you if you need to talk." Padme smiled while rubbing her shoulder.

" Any time." My mom said.

" Thank you," She smiled," Thank you so much."

" Your welcome Snips," I smiled," Now I think we've had enough training for today." I yawned. 

" Yeah." Ashoka sighed looking out at the dark sky.

We were so focused on training that we didn't notice the sun had set and night has washed over Coruscant. 

" I'm gonna head off." Obi-wan said.

He bid us farewell then left, Ashoka soon followed.

" I should get going as well. I have a terrible headache." My mom sighed while rubbing her temple.

" Hope you feel better soon." I said. I bent down and kissed her head.

As soon as she left I pulled Padme close and kissed her as if it was our last.

" Can't wait to take you out tonight." I whispered.

" That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about," She sighed," I have an emergency bill to draw up."

" Really." I groaned.

" In sorry Ani," She cried," Maybe we can go out tomorrow night."

" Yeah, we'll see." I sighed.

" I'll see you at the apartment?"

" Of course," I smiled kissing her cheek," I'm gonna take advantage of this beautiful night and go for a walk."

" Okay."  She said.

Giving her one last kiss I turned around and ran out into the streets.

Not wanting to be disrupted I slipped on my mask and waved between buildings. Running through alleys and jumping from roof to roof was exhilarating. The wind rushing past me is incredible.

Somehow I landed up at the shipping yard. Just as I was about to leave two distinctive presences appeared from the shadows- Dooku and Grievous.

" Well isn't this a surprise? You boys here to give me a welcome home gift." I chuckled.

" Jedi scum." Grievous coughed.

He raised his four robotic arms each holding a lightsaber. His front two arms spin around like windmills on death sticks.

Dooku stood back while Greivious jumped towards me.

I quickly took out my lightsaber and managed to slice one front arms clean off. He roared and coughed as he watched his arm clatter across the ground.

His roar and cough altered a few workers nearby and they began to yell like banshees. Screaming for the cops.

Grievous recovered quickly and attacked me again. Using my new powers I teleported and I managed to cut off the rest of his arms.

He violently coughed as he looked down at all his arms on the ground. With a roar of anger, I ran towards him and plunged my lightsaber into his chest. With a wheeze he fell down, dead.

Sirens blared as the police cars sped towards us.

" Until next time young Skywalker." Dooku's voice boomed as he climbed into his ship and flew away.

" Anakin!" Obi-wan's voice classes through all the sirens.

I turned around just as he and Master Windu ran out from the crates that packed the yard.

" I'm alright," I sighed tiredly from the battle. Using my new powers still takes a lot of energy," Grievous on the other hand wasn't so lucky." I chuckled as I pointed to his lifeless corpse.

" Yes, we can see all done Skywalker." Master Windu bowed his head slightly.

" At least we have one less foe to worry about." I smiled.

" What were you doing out here?" Obi-wan asked.

" I was just walking through the city and then I just landed up here. It was actually as if I was drawn here. Not long after I arrived Dooku and Grievous appeared and Grievous attacked me." I explained.

" And do you have any idea why they both came to attack you? Dooku on his own normally doesn't come here to Coruscant let alone with Grievous?" Master Windu asked.

" I have no idea why they came to me. Although I think my return and the rumor of my new powers drove them here. Maybe the Sith Lord is behind it.  Since we do assume that Dooku has a master."

" That is true." Master Windu said.

" If their mission was to take you then we need to hurry up the search for the identity of the Sith Lord. We don't know when Dooku will come back but when he does we have to be ready."

So Grievous is dead. Sorry to any of you who were perhaps his fans. I'm not sure who would be his fan but if you were then I'm sorry for your loss.
