The Time General Grievous KIDNAPPED Ventress (How Grievous Became Separatist Army Leader)- Star Wars
5,215In the days immediately after the Battle of Geonosis, which sparked the Clone Wars, Darth Sidious and his apprentice Count Dooku wanted to put their three best warriors head to head in a challenge to see who should lead the Separatist droid army against the Republic Clone Troopers. To do this, Count Dooku unleashed the wild General Grievous inside of a dark, labyrinth, before sending the other two candidates, Asajj Ventress and Durge in to search for him, and whoever came out alive would be granted the rank of Supreme Commander of the Droid Army.
I’m going to breakdown how General Grievous Kindapped Asajj Ventress and became the Separatist Army leader.
So the story begins in a dark, creepy labyrinth somewhere in the outer rim, where Count Dooku has sent two of his best warriors, Ventress and Durge to search the entire area, after telling them he has sensed someone inside.
Once Ventress makes her way inside, she contacts her master through her commlink and tells him that she still doesn’t sense anyone inside the area. As she continues looking around, she says that perhaps the security sensors are malfunctioning, but as Dooku is monitoring her progress from a series of security screens, he tells that she is wrong. Someone is aboard the dark station, and she must continue her search until she uncovers the mysterious being.
Ventress follows Dooku’s order, and moves through the dark halls of the station, until eventually arriving at the trophy room, where a variety of stuffed creatures and other beings are being stored as prizes for victory in combat. Creepily, you can also see a collection of lightsabers and even some Jedi robes. One of the robes is even coloured purple, so let me know down below which Jedi you think that one might have belonged to. There was actually a Jedi who wore purple during the time of the old republic, so I’d love to hear what you guys think.
Following this, she contacts Durge, who is the direct competition to Ventress and Grievous, although she doesn’t know it. At this point, neither of them know who Grievous even is, as he is as he a fresh recruit of Count Dooku and we’re at a very early point in the war. Technically Grievous was actually at the battle of Geonosis, but he was hidden deep in the dark catacombs below, and slaughtered every single jedi who saw him, so his presence wasn’t discovered until later. Durge quickly tells her that he just moved into the gallery room and is moving in her direction, hoping to trap whoever is inside this creepy place between the two of them. Durge then goes on to say that he still thinks this whole operation is a waste of time, but before he can even finish his sentence, a jolt of pain surges through his body as he is shocked by an electro-staff, seemingly out of nowhere. It is of course Grievous himself, who has been unleashed by Dooku.
Grievous simply calls Durge pathetic, before grabbing the bounty hunter by the neck and snapping it. Going even further, grievous, Grabs durge and slams him into nearby artefacts, glass objects, strange devices and even a vehicle, putting him in a world of hurt.
As ventress rushed on to the scene, she asks him who the figure is that they are hunting, but Durge just can’t answer because he never got good look at the mysterious figure. Ventress however, doesn’t let this stop her, before she rips off her robe and leaps through the air, igniting her red lightsabers jumping up above the room. As she is inspecting the area to find the creepy being, a dark figure appears behind her, before horrifically bashing her head, sending her plummeting down to the floor of the room. Luckily for her, Durge is able to catch Ventress Mid air, and even complements the mysterious creature’s speed, but they have once again lost him.
As the two recover from his attack, they agree that they need to stay close, and Durge asks “Who do you think this is? A Renegade Jedi?”
