Duel on Ord Cestus

The Duel on Ord Cestus was a duel that pitted Jedi Masters Obi-wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto against Asajj Ventress. The two jedi encountered Ventress during a mission to Ord Cestus in which they tried to destroy or block the sell of JK-13 bio-droids. Before fighting the jedi, Ventress sent unarmed X'Ting thugs to soften them up.

Kit was able to break away from the pack before Kenobi. He engaged Ventress in a blur of deadly lightsaber strikes. His single saber to her wasn't able to block both of hers. She was able to land a glancing blow to his head that dropped him to the ground. As she came in for the kill, Kit was able to roll off a dock into a lake.

At this time, Obi-Wan was able to free himself from her minions and engage Ventress directly. He was able to gain leverage initially. He blocked all her strikes and was able to pin both her lightsabers down. Ventress disengaged her right hand and went for a decapitating blow. Obi-Wan dodged to the left but was hit with a spinning kick that dropped him to the dock. In the water, Kit realized that Obi-Wan was in trouble through the force, so using his last bit of strength, he sliced the dock supports sending both Obi-Wan and Ventress into the water. Kit then lost consciousness.

Obi-Wan was able to place his rebreather] in his mouth, but since Ventress had a lightsaber in each hand she could not. Obi-Wan pressed his advantage until she had to drop one saber to grab her rebreather. In the murky water, Obi-wan was able to land a blow to her lower right ribs. Ventress headbutted him and they both lost their rebreathers. Facing off against one another underwater with no air, the first of them to break for the surface would be left vulnerable. Knowing she was stuck, Ventress used a device on her belt to release a cloud of inky blackness. This cover allowed her to escape. Obi-Wan and Kit climbed out of the lake to find that their ARC Trooper Jangotet had sacraficed himself to destroy the rest of the Separatists' allies on Ord Cestus. Although the duel was a draw, the mission was a success.
