Chapter II - (Part II)

3rd Person POV:

"Ventress..." Arius growled, turning around to face Ventress.

"Here to save your precious Jedi friends?" She asked.

"Actually yes I am, how'd you know?...." Arius asked, playing dumb.

"They're- right in that detention cell down the hall...?" Ventress replied, confused.

"Oh- really? I didn't know they'd be there," Arius replied.

"Are you dumb?... I thought you'd be more of a challenge to beat..." She growled, igniting her red lightsabers as she charged at Arius, since there was a wall right behind Arius, right at the last minute, she moved out of the way and Ventress rammed into the wall. She groaned and collapsed on the ground, unconscious.

"Well thanks for telling me," Arius said in a computerized voice, walking towards the detention center as droids circled them.

"I surrender," She said immediately, dropping her sabers on the ground, putting her hands up in front of her chest.

"Hands up!" The droid shouted.

"They're up..." She replied.

"Above your head!" It shouted.

"Oh I look ridiculous... Ok I'm done, blast them," She growled in a computerized voice, grabbing one by the neck while the troopers blasted them and she ripped the head off with her other hand, throwing the droid aside.

"Let's go, hurry," Kass said, blowing a hole through the detention cell as Arius force pushed back the droids.

"JEDI! BLAST 'EM!" The droids shouted.

"PROTECT THE SHIP!" One of the droids shouted as they all stopped and looked at him.

"Even I'm not that dumb..." Arius muttered, shooting lightning out of her hands with ease.

"Hawk, stay here and protect the two, Halo and Kass, let's go see what this "ship" does..." She growled, walking as Hawk stood guard.

"Agh... Hawk?..." Axle groaned, standing up as Hawk made them sit back down.

"Sir, rest, the General and the others are taking care of the situation," Hawk reported. Ahsoka coughed and sat up, groaning, she looked weak, the droids had done a lot to both of them, but they were relieved to see Hawk.

"No... Hawk.. Warn her-..." Ahsoka groaned, going loopy from hypothermia.

"It's... This whole thing-..." Axle started.

"WRONG WAY!" Kass shouted, running away as tons of blaster fire came from where Arius went.

"Dank ferrik Kass..." Arius muttered, pushing her way through as she saw the big republic cruiser ship.

"Ah... So it is a ship... Not what I was expecting though..." She replied, tripping and falling off the edge as she caught herself and landed on the top of the broken Republic Cruiser. She heard a faint beeping sound, but she couldn't hear what it was.

"NO ARIUS!" Ahsoka yelled, sensing what was about to happen. The beeping stopped, and the entire ship exploded, the debris hitting the side of the fake factories as everything rumbled.

"WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Kass shouted as Halo picked up both Axle and Ahsoka easily as they ran out right before the building collapsed.

"Sir, are you alright?" Halo asked in a computerized voice as Ahsoka and Axle sat up.

"Where's... Arius?..." Ahsoka asked, rubbing her eyes a bit as she stood up, a bit wobbly. Kass, Halo, and Hawk looked at each other, looking down as Ahsoka's eyes immediately went dull.

"Oh..." Axle said disappointedly as they heard something ignite behind them.

"Looks like that Jedi was dumb..." Ventress said, holding her sabers to the side as droids marched up from behind her.

"Sir, what should we do?" Hawk asked, holding his two pistols in his hands.

"Open fire!" Axle shouted as him and Ahsoka ignited their sabers, twirling in the air as they attacked Ventress while destroying the droids.

Arius was laying on the ground, her helmet half cracked open, and there was a pieces of debris stuck in different places, like her arm, her legs, her shoulder, her back, and her hand. She was in a lot of pain, but she didn't care, she struggled to stand a bit, but she jumped up anyways onto the top of the ruined building as she saw the fight going on beneath her. She jumped down, and Halo saw her coming, he looked down and saw there was a wall so he shot his cord up from his wrist gauntlet while pushing a droid back with his hand. The cord attached to her waist and he pulled her to the side a bit, making her avoid the wall, but making her fall down in the process.

"Thanks Halo," She replied, finally igniting her blue and yellow double bladed saber. The pieces of debris stuck in her made Halo sigh, he was going to have to force her to get them removed later.

"YOU'RE ALIVE?!" Ahsoka shouted, almost getting shot in the face as Axle blocked the shot with his lightsaber.

"Yeah..." Arius replied as she deflected the shots.

"What do you mean "oh yeah" WHAT THE KRIFF YOU BLEW UP!" Axle shouted, tackling a droid down into the snow.

"If you're standing about 4 feet away from where the explosion happened, then you're fine," She replied, throwing her saber as it spun and destroyed most of the droids, Ventress charged at all three of them, but there was absolutely no way she was going to be able to take all three of them on.

"Agh..." She groaned, a Vulture droid picking her up as she disappeared into the clouds. Arius bent in the snow, trying to move her back.

"Sir, I'm going to have to remove those," Halo reported as she stood up again, helping Axle and Ahsoka into the ship.

"Help them first, I'm fine," She replied as Hawk and Kass got into the ship.

"Alright Sir, we're headed home to Coruscant again," Hawk reported as the jumped into hyperspace, away from the cold planet of Sylvia.

Anakin was waiting for the ship to land in the hangar bay as he waved to Hawk who saluted loosely in return as they landed and the door opened to reveal two hurt Jedi.

"Snips, you ok?" Anakin asked, helping her.

"Yeah, thanks Master, and she was more unpredictable than you," She said as she walked with Axle to the medical bay as he just stood there, confused.

"You know? I'm starting to think bringing you to the Jedi was a good idea," Anakin said, crossing his arms at Arius.

"Was it ever a good one...?" She asked as Anakin sighed at the pieces of debris stuck in her.

"Halo, remember to-" Anakin started.

"I'm already on it sir," He replied from inside the ship, grabbing his med pack.

"Give me your report and I'll do you a favor of bringing it to Obi-wan, you should rest," Anakin said as Kass handed him the holo-pad.

"Thanks Skywalker," She replied as Halo practically had to push her to the medical bay.

"Yeah, sure... Ari," He joked as he laughed and she growled under her breath as she walked away with Halo and Anakin walked off as well.
