Duel on Yavin 4

"I'm going to make you pay for what you've done." "Come, Padawan. Your fall will be my ascension to the Sith."

- Anakin Skywalker and Asajj Ventress

After sensing Asajj Ventress through the Force during the Battle of Muunilinst, Anakin Skywalker pursued her to Yavin 4 against his master's orders. In response, Obi-Wan sent a squadron of clone troopers to backup his Padawan.



Anakin landed on Yavin 4, and along with a battalion of clones that arrived on Obi-wan's orders, began to seek out his mysterious challenger. Ventress however, was able to ambush and kill off all the clonetroopers and destroy Anakin's fighter before approaching the young Jedi himself. As the duel began however, Anakin proved he was able to hold his own against Ventress despite her command of the dark side of the Force. Anakin managed to knock both lightsabers Ventress wielded out of her hands. However, when he went to finish her off, she leapt into the tree tops. Anakin followed, and they battled it out through the jungle, going deeper and deeper into the forests. They landed on a raised walkway and Ventress used Dun Möch to knock Skywalker off of the walkway. They stared at each other for a few seconds as rain began to pour down.



Skywalker attacked, and forced Ventress back. Soon, he forced her into a Massassi Temple. There, their battle became violent as Skywalker imployed the force to continually knock back Ventress. Ventress tried to stop him with a force push, but, he deflected it, then threw her out of a wall.

The battle eventually took the two combatants atop one of the many ancient Massassi temples on the surface of the moon. Ventress was able to knock Anakin's lightsaber out of his hand, but before she could finish him, Anakin responded by catching her by the wrists. Drawing upon his anger, he crushed her left wrist with his mechanical hand, took her lightsaber, and continued to strike at her (in the same fashion that Luke Skywalker would do to him on the Second Death Star years later) until the force from the attacks made the ground she was standing on crumble and she fell off the edge of the temple.

Presuming her to be dead, Anakin took Ventress's ship and returned to Muunilinst. Following the battle, Palpatine sent Mas Amedda to the moon to acquire piranha beetles and a Massassi frieze.
