Duel in the Coruscant Underlevels

The Duel in the Coruscant Underlevels was a fight between Anakin Skywalker and Asajj Ventress in the Coruscant Underlevels that took place shortly after the Battle of Rendili during the judgement of Quinlan Vos.

Prelude
After the Battle of Rendili where the renegade Jedi Quinlan Vos turned himself in, he was taken to Coruscant to be judged before the Jedi Council. Anakin Skywalker, who had participated in the battle, delivered a testimony regarding Vos' actions during the battle. Having done this, Skywalker was excused.

Immediately journeying to the Senate Office Building to meet with his secret wife Padme Amidala, he was instead greeted by one of her handmaidens. Told that Padme was tied up with Senate business, he was given a holodisk from Padme by the handmaiden. As he journeyed to the Coruscant Underlevels to listen to the hologram, he was unaware that he was being tailed by Asajj Ventress.

The Duel
As Anakin sat on his speeder in a decrepit building in the underlevels listening to the hologram, Ventress revealed herself. Taking the hologram from Anakin with the Force, Ventress listened to it with disgust and destroyed it. Revealing that she had come to Coruscant to hunt down Quinlan Vos and Obi-Wan Kenobi, she decided to settle with Anakin. However, Ventress went too far when she threatened Padme's life, enraging Anakin, who viciously attacked.

Fending off Anakin's strikes, Ventress retreated further into the building, taunting Anakin as she went. As Anakin battled her, Ventress suddenly slashed Anakin across the face, leaving him with a scar on his jaw. Attacking, she again slashed Anakin's face, leaving him with a vertical scar next to his eye. Taunting that she could have killed him with this latest attack, she again went too far and Anakin snapped completely.

Unleashing a flurry of destructive blows, Anakin drove Ventress to the edge of the building before blasting her off the edge and entangling her in electical wires. Cruelly torturing her by holding her in the wires with Force Grip, Anakin finally dropped her. The wires, unable to take Ventress' weight, snapped, further entangling her, and she fell.

Anakin stared at the pit for a few seconds before turning his back and leaving.

Aftermath
By submitting to his rage during that fight, Anakin Skywalker had pushed himself closer to the Dark Side of the Force and his own eventual fall.

Despite her extreme injuries, Asajj Ventress survived and would return to fight another day.
