----------------------------------------
The doors swoosh open
And the Naboo barge in
To retake Theed Palace
Their banner of hope waving
In their determined hearts
A flame of defiance
Against the Trade Federation's invasion
In an instant the battle droids swivel
To face the rebellion
And their blasters let loose
A stream of fire
Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn
Move to defend the Naboo
Lightsabers slicing through the chaos
Droids clatter to the ground, defeated
Broken parts strewn across the hangar
Pilots rush to their ships
And rev the starfighters' engines
Blasting out of the hangar
To defend their planet
The ships glisten in the sunlight
Beacons of hope for the rebellion
The current battle won
The Naboo regroup
They march toward the palace doors
When the double doors slide open
A menacing figure stands in their way
Wrapped in a black cloak
The Naboo slide to a stop
Staring in horror
The figure raises his head
Revealing feral yellow eyes
Set in a red-and-black tattooed face
Qui-Gon steps forward
"We'll handle this," he orders
The Naboo split up
Leaving the Jedi a clear path to the door
Master and Padawan stride forward
And the three antagonists face off
The cloaked figure lowers his hood
His chilling head is crowned by sharp horns
Staring coldly at the Jedi, he removes his cloak
And the Jedi do the same
The figure takes a lightsaber from his belt
And steps into an attack position
He ignites one end of the red blade
And then the other
His challenge is issued
The Jedi ready their weapons
For a moment they stand in silence
Until suddenly the Sith charges forward
Blow, block, blow
Master and Padawan move fluidly, in unison
But the Sith meets them with his skill
He whirls, dodges
Everything is a blur of flame
The lightsabers hum their gentle tune
Until clash, bang, sizzle!
They collide in mind and body
Screaming in rage
The battle moves onward
Deeming him inferior, the Sith knocks Obi-Wan aside
One Jedi and one Sith
Dance a deadly duo into
A hall of laser force fields
The red blockade sizzles to life
Separating opponent from opponent
They watch each other's every move
Qui-Gon meditates, calm and serene
While the Sith paces like a predator waiting for its prey
Feral yellow eyes leering
And a lonely Padawan rushes to join them
In an instant
The force fields are dropped
Battle resumes; wills collide
Master and Sith duel out into the next chamber
Leaving a Padawan to catch up
Obi-Wan watches in shocked horror
As the Sith smashes his lightsaber
Into Qui-Gon's chin
A deliberately dirty blow
The lightsaber comes around
Stabs into the Master's chest
And Qui-Gon falls away
"NO!"
The Sith turns
His evil, mocking stare onto the apprentice
Obi-Wan waits in anger, anguish
Clawing at his insides
Force fields fade
Obi-Wan rushes out
He flips, he whirls, fighting with all his strength
But still the Sith pushes him away
And down Obi-Wan tumbles, into a pit
By a thread he hangs
Grasping a red rung
He stares up at the Sith
Gloating, slashing at the metal floor, sending up sparks
Obi-Wan draws on the Force
And he leaps into the air
Taking the Sith by surprise
Qui-Gon's lightsaber flies into his hand
And he strikes the final blow
The Sith blinks, staggers back
His two halves falling, spiraling
Into the waiting darkness
Obi-Wan runs to his Master's side
But it is already too late
"Train him. Train Anakin," Qui-Gon gasps
Before his spirit escapes his fallen body
And Obi-Wan weeps, so terribly alone
While outside
Banners fly and the Naboo celebrate their victory
Freedom is theirs
At a cost.
The End
