Duel in the Teth Monastery rancor pit

"We held the droids, whats your location? Ventress... Dooku's assassin? She's here to kill the hutt, com'on."

- Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano recieve Rex's bogus communication.

Hearing the sounds of battle, and recieving the bogus communication from Rex, the Jedi retreated began retreating to an exterior landing pad on the rear of the monastery, led by R2-D2. However, before they could get far, they were confronted by Asajj Ventress, acompanied by several battle droids and super battle droids. Backed into the throne room and surrounded, Skywalker began exchanging banter and threats with Ventress when R2 suddenly activated a trap door in the floor.

Falling down long narrow chute, they landed in a large, high-ceilinged round room. As everyone regained their feet, Skywalker engaged Ventress while Tano dealt with the droids. As Ahsoka finished the droids, Skywalker managed to deprive Ventress of one of her lightsabers, only to be knock down and disarmed himself. Ventress raised her remaining blade for the kill, only to be confronted by Tano. Reclaiming her lost weapon, the Dark Jedi turned to engage the Togruta, only for Skywalker, having recovered his weapon, to rejoin the fray.

As Ventress called on the Force to strengthen herself, Skywalker ordered Ahsoka to escape with Rotta while he dealt with Ventress. As Tano did so, openning a large door on the side of the room, she accidentally set loose a captive Jungle rancor. As the beast attacked the two duelists, Ventress and Skywalker leapt onto the rancor's back and continued their battle. Deprived of it's intended meal, the creature rounded on Ahsoka and Rotta. Seeing this, Skywalker slashed the rancor's back, causing it buck violently. As Skywalker and Ventress continued their duel, a number of battle droids entered the overhead gallery and openned fire on Skywalker.

To help her master, Tano attacked the rancor, stabbing it in the foot, causing it to buck off Skywalker and Ventress. Above, the battle droids found themselves being assailed by R2-D2, who had not fallen down the trap door and had made his way to the gallery. Below, the Jungle rancor rounded on the source of it's irritation and attacked Ahsoka, only to have it's nose impaled on Tano's lightsaber. Falling back in pain, the rancor landed on Ventress, who promtly went limp.

The rancor, cowed by the pain, left the Jedi alone as they fled. However, it didn't remain calm for long, leaping up in agony as Ventress' lightsaber ignited into it's rear. Slightly dazed, Ventress quickly followed the Jedi's example and left herself.
