THE RETURN OF STARKILLER
Chapter 1: Back from the Dead
After Vader was done with Starkiller's "dead" body, he dropped it at the trash planet Raxus Prime. The planet was now overrun completely by stormtroopers and shadow guards. A mysterious figure in the scraps caught everyone's attention when it lunged at them swinging and waving a lightsaber. After it was done with all the troopers and guards in the area, it came for Merek's body.
It looked around and then removed its hood revealing what looked like Starkiller's face. Sparks from his hands flew out then lightning struck Merek's body continuously. Gasping for air Merek sat up fast and grasped his throat. As he strangled him he asked, "Where am I and who the hell are you!"
Between gasps for air the look-alike replied,
"I- am- a clone of-you!"
"A clone? How!" Merek asked angrily.
"Darth Vader-created many- of you! On the planet- Kamino."
Removing his hands from the clones throat, he tried to piece together the past two weeks. The clone handed Merek one of his lightsabers to defend himself with it.
"I must find my friends! I must find Juno. If I have to search every system across the galaxy!"
"First we need to fight our way off this system." The clone stated.
The clone and Merek stealthily made their way through the treacherous planet. Finally they found a shipyard.
"My ship is just beyond that shipyard. Camouflaged in the scraps." The clone whispered.
At the almost-finished Death Star, Lord Vader sensed a shift in the force. A shift he hasn't felt since he first met Starkiller as a child. As Vader thought more of the planet where he dropped Merek's body, Raxus Prime, the shift in the force got stronger. The instant Vader knew Merek was alive, he sent a Star Destroyer and a fleet of Tie Fighters to kill him.
Stormtroopers and shadow guards in the area were alerted about the clone and Merek. Merek and the clone made a run for it, but were stopped by ten stormtroopers and two shadow guards. The clone and Merek turned on their lightsabers, and lunged at the small army.
A flash of twirling, slashing, and lasers from imperial phasers didn't affect either one of their concentration. As the last of the stormtroopers were cut down, only the two shadow guards were left. Their saber-spears turned on simultaneously and they seemed to be trained extraordinarily well.
"I've fought these before." Merek said, "Very skilled and slightly connected to the force. They aren't to be messed with."
Galen and the clone lunged at them, but every attempt for a strike or slash failed. Until they switched opponents with each other breaking the shadow guards' focus. Merek struck the saber-spear out of the guard's hand and stabbed him with his emerald-green, pulsating lightsaber.
The clone front kicked the guard and cut him in half with his crimson lightsaber. They then ran past the shipyard and found a mound of trash and scraps. They removed the trash, with the force, to reveal the Rogue Shadow.
"My ship!" Merek exclaimed joyfully.
They ran in and shot into space. The exact moment they hit the edge of Raxus Prime's atmosphere, a fleet of Tie Fighters and a Star Destroyer chased them down. As they weaved and twirled in the Rogue Shadow, large streaks of green lasers dashed beside the Rogue Shadow barely missing.
"Clone! Punch it!" Merek exclaimed.
The clone pulled a lever and a surge of plasmatic energy bolted through the Rogue Shadow. The stars turned blurry as the ship sped faster than able to be noticed. Merek looked back and just like that, the Imperial Fleet was gone within a snap of a finger.
