1144, Mixed Battle
"Ventress! So you really are here!" Anakin Skywalker gritted his teeth and swung his Lightsaber, engaging Ventress in fierce combat.
Both were masters of lightsaber dueling. Ventress had struggled at the bottom for a long time, and after following Count Dooku and awakening to the Dark Side Force, her swordsmanship and power had become increasingly savage. Anakin Skywalker's abilities, meanwhile, had also grown rapidly through constant battle.
Pong Krell cursed quietly from behind, "Stupid bastard!"
Then he shook both hands, and his two double-bladed Lightsabers ignited instantly as he charged toward Anakin Skywalker, shouting, "Looks like Cody really is working with Ventress! Don't be afraid, Anakin Skywalker! I'm here to help!"
Just then, a figure flashed before his eyes. Ahsoka Tano stepped out, wielding her Lightsaber to block Pong Krell's path. She said coldly, "I believe Anakin Skywalker is more than capable of dealing with Ventress, Master Krell. Right now, you should stay out of the way instead of adding to the chaos."
Pong Krell glanced toward the battle. He saw that Asajj Ventress was indeed fighting with unstoppable momentum, wildly suppressing Anakin Skywalker and forcing him back again and again. Yet with his keen eye and combat experience, he could tell that if this battle dragged on too long, Asajj Ventress would almost certainly lose!
"So even you are going to betray us, little apprentice?" Pong Krell's expression twisted viciously. He slowly approached Ahsoka, and when he saw her continually retreating to maintain distance, he suddenly clenched his teeth and thrust both double-bladed Lightsabers out like lightning!
The long and short Lightsabers in Ahsoka Tano's hands barely blocked Pong Krell's attack, but the other man's powerful Force pressure weighed heavily upon her. She could practically feel every inch of air around her squeezing against her movements.
