Vizsla gripped the Darksaber tightly and leapt high into the air with a battle cry.

Obi-Wan turned and raised his lightsaber horizontally above his head, blocking Prey's downward attack.

Kenobi pushed him back, leaning back to avoid another swing, ducking from another, and colliding his blade with Vizsla's once more.

In a flurry of blows, Blue met White. Both combatants dodged incoming attacks when they were unable to block them. At one point, Kenobi caught Vizsla's wrist and leaned back to dodge the man's fist.

The Jedi Master dodged the man's Darksaber a few more times, turned around, and suddenly pushed with the Force, sending the Mandalorian flying through the air.

Three Death Watch members broke Vizsla's fall and grabbed their leader. Getting back on his feet, Prey pushed his men aside and rushed back into the fight. The Darksaber spun in the air and fell, and Kenobi dodged the blow. Acting quickly, the Jedi kicked the Darksaber out of Vizsla's hand as it slid across the rocky ground.

Being unarmed with his prized weapon didn't mean Prey wouldn't put an end to the fight. Approaching, the Mandalorian knelt and struck his opponent with a single blow. As the Jedi retreated, the Death Watch leader made the breakthrough for the Darksaber.

Obi-Wan knelt on one knee with Daredevil standing beside him. He waved and Matt reluctantly stood up. Facing his opponent again, the Jedi saw the Mandalorian using his jetpack during the fight and taking to the air.

This strategy left Prey open, however. Kenobi quickly took advantage of it, rolling forward and launching himself into the air.

As he closed in on Vizsla in the air, he delivered a swift uppercut to the chin, followed by a left hook. With a Force-enhanced spin, he grabbed the Governor and spun him around, throwing him toward the other three Death Watch members.

The Darksaber landed hard on the ground between them, retracting as Prey fell to all fours, glaring viciously at the Jedi Master, who stared at him with a focused expression.

Prey stood up and pointed directly at them. "Warriors, kill them!"

Without a word, the three Mandalorians fired their missiles.

Seeing the missiles coming towards them, Obi-Wan dodged the incoming projectiles. He expected them to explode at some distance behind him. Unfortunately for him, they did not appear to be ordinary missiles, bending in the sky and redirecting towards him and his two companions.

Without warning, Obi-Wan grabbed Sadine's arm and rushed to the elevator shaft. Soon, he used the Force to pull Daredevil in with them. The three quickly fell down the shaft, landing heavily on the ground, despite being unscathed by the fiery debris that fell from behind.

Back above, the Death Watch members scan the destroyed elevator shaft.

"Should we go after them, sir?"

"No." Vizsla ordered. "There's no time. But don't worry. We'll catch up with the Duchess soon.

Sardin, Obi-Wan, and Matt were covered in soot as they emerged from the mining facility they had been in. They walked toward the parked speeder, and Duchess was the first to speak.

"I guess this is where we are now," Sadin said, watching Obi-Wan being helped to his speeder by Daredevil.

"How could this happen?" Kenobi asked.

"I saved your life. You saved mine," said Satine.

"Yeah, well, mine was the more daring of the two rescues."

"If you two are done showing off," Matt cut in. "I'd rather come back and rest after a long day. The Sardinians on Mandalore also need to be notified of this latest development.

"We can agree on this point," Kenobi said with a faint smile.

Sadin simply stuck out his tongue, looking at the two men in obvious amusement, and the three of them left the mine.

"So...who am I riding with this time?" Matt asked, looking at Satine and Obi-Wan respectively.

Obi-Wan Kenobi and Matt Murdock walked with Chancellor Almec, Advisor Tal Merick, and the Duchess of Sardin toward the Duchess's personal ship at the dock.

The docks were bustling with clone troopers, Mandalorian guards, and Senate officials, the latter of whom were present because they hoped to engage in upcoming discussions with the leaders of the neutral systems.

"But if Previzla escapes, we won't know how many Death Watch there are," said Tal Merrik, a senator from Kalevala.

"It's clear that the Separatists are supporting the Death Watch," Kenobi said.

"I don't agree. I told you that I want to stay out of this conflict," said Sardin in a slightly cold tone.

"Given the current situation, I'm afraid that's no longer possible. Kenobi said

Satine clenched her fists and nearly growled at Kenobi. "I thought all of you would understand my position on this matter. I would never participate in this war.

She left him there, walking toward her ship, Kenobi's head hanging slightly. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked back to see Matt taking off his helmet and giving him an understanding look.

"Thank you, Matt," Obi-Wan said gratefully.

"So~ I see there's a story here."

They both turned around to see Cap and Black Widow approaching along with Anakin Skywalker, Captain Rex, and Commander Cody.

"General, reporting for escort duty." Anakin smiled.

"Oh, Anakin. I'm glad to see you. Obi-Wan said with a small smile. "Steve, Natasha, you two are welcome too after everything Matt and I have endured."

"Hmm. You sound tired. Anakin pointed out.

"I'm a little tired of the locals' peaceful ways," Obi-Wan said as he walked with the others, patting Commander Cody as a gesture, and the clone nodded.

"For people like us who have the power of action, that's understandable," Captain America commented, earning a wry smile from the others.

"So what happened here?" asked Black Widow.

"Do you want the long or short version?" Daredevil introduced the options.

"Medium version."

“How about the lawyer version?”

"We'll stay here all day then," Anakin joked as they boarded the ship, which took off moments later, leaving the planet Mandalore.
