Rush Clovis

Anakin’s eyes narrowed at him, “you’ve obviously never been hit by one then.” He commented.

“Oh, I have been hit loads of times, Skywalker. I even think your dear, Padme has done that a few times as well... just not like you are doing.”

“ A coward?” He asked with a dark chuckle, “No, it’s you who are the coward, but maybe I should ask some friends of yours.” Clovis than snorted, “Give me your best shot or are the stories of the COWARD Skywalker true?”

A snarl came from him, “I don’t know what you’ve heard, but I’ve never been a coward.” He hissed. This time he made the first move as he came at him aiming for his gut.

He was about to make a comment about Anakin being a coward, but then the fist was smaller right into his stomach. Suffice to say, he was distracted, and it showed clearly as he stumbled back for a few moments, "You hit like a girl."

Anakin couldn’t help but smirk as his hit landed. However, he had to quickly spin away to avoid Clovis’s next hit. He frowned, “Resorting to cheap shots already? We haven’t even begun.” He said. “I knew you were a coward.”

“ A coward?” He asked with a dark chuckle, “No, it’s you who are the coward, but maybe I should ask some friends of yours.” Clovis than snorted, “Give me your best shot or are the stories of the COWARD Skywalker true?”

Anakin growled taking his lightsaber off his belt and tossing it away. “Give me your best shot then.” He said, poking him in the chest.

“At least I know how to stand up and fight.” Anakin spat. Of course he learned more than that, having a Padawan was very much a learning experience. “At least I can protect those I care about! What have you done? Only put them in danger for your selfish ambitions!”

“Only put them in danger? She was the one who put herself in danger!” He hissed out, “You know what? Want to fight me; Do it, I want to see just how good you are with out a lightsaber, the Force, and on equal footing.”

She immediately stiffed at Clovis’s words, her eyes widening at she stared at her former friend. “You—-you wouldn’t dare.” she finally managed to get out, her blood running cold in her veins.

“Wouldn’t I?” He asked with an eyebrow lifted, “I think I would dare --- I just need a bit of proof. It’s a simple matter of blackmail really. Nothing I haven’t done before in reality.”

“If you think that after everything you’ve done that I would even for a moment consider working with you again you sadly mistaken, Clovis.” Padme responded, pulling herself up and slipping easily back into her role as Queen of Naboo. “And if you don’t leave me alone, I will take legal action.”

“Legal action?” Clovis was actually shocked at that little statement that came from the other --- he wasn’t even expecting it, but that didn’t seem to phase him... not much at least, “You might say you will take it, but I know you won’t or should I simply... spread the rumor you’re sleeping with that Jedi Knight you’re so found of.”

“YES. YES I WILL. Come here, Clovis, I’m gonna smack you so hard you’re gonna be feeling it for at least a year.”

“I haven’t done anything. Why are you wanting to smack me?”

“It was needed?” He snapped back. “You joined the Separatists because it was needed?” Rage was starting to settle in and a table shook from his emotions. “She didn’t betray herself! She knows what she stands for! I know what I’m fighting for.” He seethed. “You know nothing. You learned nothing.”

“You know what what position I was in, Skywalker. You might think that the sides are clear as you can see me, but I can ASSURE you right away that they are not.” Clovis then snorted, “Learned nothing? You’re off fighting a WAR and what have you learned, hmm? To simply become a General. Nothing else.”
