"Fool! How dare you fail me again!" a dark voice shouted as the form of a small girl flew across the room, "Your lucky that I'm in a good mood today. If this happens again I can't guarantee that you'll be let off so easily."

"Yes, sir," the young girl whimpered.

"Get out of my sight."

"Yes, sir," the girl said again as she limped out of the room. When she got back to her quarters she sat on the bed as she rubbed her arm. Jerk, she thought sourly. She stood up, opened the door, and made sure the coast was clear before pulling a pack out from under the bed. She opened it and scanned the contents. Armor, food, lightsabers, clothes, and water, she thought as she went through the list mentally. She sighed and looked at her room one last time. The plain gray walls, the bright ceiling lights, and the annoying droid were things that she wasn't going to miss. The bed and the dresser were also things that she wouldn't miss due to their lack of creativity. She sighed again as she opened the door and limped to the hangar as fast as possible. The guards and stormtroopers saluted as she walked by and she acknowledged them with a nod as she continued along the grey corridor. She soon got to the hangar and looked for a ship to take. She soon spotted an average TIE interceptor that looked in good condition admist all of the others. She quickly walked through the gray room towards the gray machine, and climbed inside. Once inside she started the engine and took off as soon as the vehicle lifted off the ground. She quickly set the coordinates for Coruscant, and activated the lightspeed.

"This is Blue 32 reporting to headquarters," a male voice said over the speaker.

"Go ahead, Blue 32," another male voice said.

"I got an Imperial ship out here. What should I do?"

"Can you give me specifics?"

"Yeah. It's a TIE interceptor."

"How many?"

"One."

"Take it down, just in case."

"Yes, sir," Blue 32 said as he shot at the TIE interceptor. The lasers glanced off of the interceptor causing little damage.

"Wait! Please stop!" the girl yelled out as another pair of lasers barely missed her.

"Blue 32 to headquarters," Blue 32 stated.

"Go ahead Blue 32," a female voice said.

"I'm getting a request to stop from the Imperial ship. Should I?"

"Tell the pilot to land," the voice said after a pause.

"Aye. Blue 32 clear," Blue 32 said, "Please land the ship."

"Okay, sir," the girl replied thankfully as she descended through the atmosphere. She landed on an empty pad and waited for further orders.

"Step out of the vehicle," a deep voice commanded. The girl did as she was told and climbed down out of the vehicle. The look on the commander's face was priceless as he saw that he had commanded a pilot to shoot down a seven year old girl. "Somebody get Blue 32 on the phone. You come with me," he said as he pointed to her. She obediently followed the commander inside the large, blue building. She looked around at the brown colored walls with the elegant paintings and the crimson carpet as they walked into a large room with many screens, speakers, and desks.

"Yes, sir?" a male voice asked through the speakers.

"Why didn't you tell us that the pilot was a girl?" the commander yelled in a furious tone.

"I didn't think that it was important, sir," Blue 32 asked nervously.

"Nevermind. We'll talk more when you come to report," the commander stated angrily, "What's your name?"

"Dani, sir," Dani said timidly.

"May I ask what you were doing on that interceptor?" the commander asked kindly.

"I was running away from my master," Dani replied.

"Who's your master?"

"The Emperor."

"My name is Commander Yuri," Yuri said, "If you need something just ask me."

"Can I stay here for the night Mr. Yuri?" Dani asked.

"Sure. Al will take you to your room," the commander replied with a smile.

"Thank you," she chirped before following Al.

"I'm going to town," a young male voice said as he walked out of the temple.

"Okay. See you in a few minutes, Nayt," another voice said as Nayt boarded a green T-47 airspeeder and took off toward the city.

"C'mon, Sden, let's practice our lightsaber combat," a third voice said.

"Fine, but don't complain if I beat you again, Jai'kar," Sden said with a smile as he ignited his orange lightsaber.

"This time I'll win," Jai'kar said confidently as he ignited ice blue and silvery green lightsabers. I have the advantage with my lighter gear, Jai'kar thought. He put his lightsabers in a defensive position as Sden jumped and attempted a downward slash. When he landed however he was thrown back by Jai'kar's force push. Jai'kar then moved into the Jar'kai stance and prepared for another strike. Sden rushed forward to attack, but was stopped by Jai'kar's ice blue lightsaber. Jai'kar then attacked with his green lightsaber, which forced Sden to jump back. After many more defensive blocks and counterattacks, Jai'kar turned to the offensive. When Sden jumped back from the counterattack, Jaikar rushed forward and slashed with his lightsabers simultaneously. He then continued the attack by using quick, short slashes that forced Sden to switch to the defensive. Sden then made a comeback by knocking Jai'kar's green lightsaber out of his hand. The battle continued for an hour before Jai'kar ripped Sden's lightsaber out of his hand and shove him against a wall with the Force. Afterwards he dashed up to Sden before he could get up and pointed the lightsaber at his heart.

"Wow," Sden said in awe, "You finally beat me."

"Yes!" Jai'kar shouted ecstatically.

"What happened to you two?" Nayt asked as he walked in and saw their numerous cuts and tattered clothes.

"I beat Sden in a duel!"

"Well that's nice, but we need to get dinner started. Jai'kar, you can make the salad, Sden will make the drinks and dessert, and I'll make the main dish," Nayt stated as he started to get the food ready. After Jai'kar finished the salad, he started cleaning the kitchen. He brushed off the table and shelves that were actually rocks. Shortly after he was done, he walked outside and watched the sunset. Admist the brown, rocky rubble, he saw a TIE interceptor touch down near the command station. What would an Imperial ship be doing landing here? he thought as he combed his red hair with his hand. Seeing the interceptor reminded him of a vision he had the other day while meditating. Now he wished that Nayt wouldn't have interrupted him before he saw what happened after the Imperial landed.

"Jai'kar, dinner's ready," Sden said. Sighing, Jai'kar stood up and went inside to eat dinner and ponder the upcoming day's events.

"Commander Yuri?" Dani asked timidly.

"Yes, Dani?" Yuri replied while sipping his coffee.

"May I go to the Jedi Temple?"

"Uh... Sure. Nothing wrong with a little history, eh?" he replied hesitantly. The Jedi will be able to handle her if she causes trouble, Yuri thought confidently.
