Duel on Dica

"Useless tricks… I'll finish you off now. Prepare to die!"

- Grievous during the duel

Prelude
"It's true sir! We believe they were taken by that Dark Jedi." "Yes, she was acting suspiciously."

- An IG-100 MagnaGuard and Grievous

In hopes of becoming Sith, Dark Jedi twin sisters Kaa and Lii decided to steal the Sith lightsaber collection of Confederate General Grievous. At least one of them managed to gain entrance to the General's starship, and partially convince Grievous that she was on his side. Even though the Dark Jedi raised Grievous’s suspicions, she managed to steal the lightsaber collection and escape from the ship, after which she headed to the acidic planet of Dica. However, the theft was quickly discovered, and Grievous pursued the Dark Jedi on Dica with his personal starcraft.

The duel
"You're too slow Grievous!"

- Lii

Landing on Dica, the General quickly spotted the Dark Jedi standing on a cliff over an acid lake. When Grievous confronted her, the other twin revealed herself, and the Dark Jedi pair raised their new Sith lightsabers. Though slightly suprised, Grievous remained confident that he would best his enemies. Armed with his sole remaining lightsaber, the Kaleesh general leaped on the cliff. He managed to grab Kaa’s sabers with his cybernetic arm, and when Lii tried to attack him behind, her sabers were grabbed as well. However, the twins quickly broke free from the lock, and severed a part of Grievous's mask with a swift combined swing. Grievous jumped down from the cliff, attaching himself just belove it with his legs, and declared that tricks would not save the Dark Jedi from death. He jumped back on the cliff, and disarmed the twins with one swipe.

Aftermath
"Now begone! It will take more than a Sith weapon to make you a Sith!"

- Grievous

Much to the chagrin of the combatants, the Sith lightsabers fell off from the cliff, right into the acid lake, where they quickly melted to nothing. Grievous was outraged, and the now weaponless sisters chose to flee with theirs lives. The General mocked the Dark Jedi for their naive belief that a Sith weapon would make one a true Sith. As he prepared to leave the planet, he resolved that he would have to restart his collection of lightsabers. Only this time, it would be Jedi lightsabers.

Behind the scenes
The duel first appeared in Dark Jedi, a short comic story that was included in Star Wars Manga: Silver of Star Wars Manga. The original publication of the work was labelled as Infinities, marking the stories contained within the pages as not canonical. However, comments by Leland Chee in a forum thread on StarWars.com on the 6th of November 2006, described the continuity of these stories as "a bit fuzzy," indicating that the canonicity of the stories had not yet been established. In 2008, a combined edition of Black and Silver was printed in French. These editions were clearly labelled as Infinities, securing their status as non-canon tales.
