Chapter 2: Space Race
The clone and Merek sighed in relief as they successfully evaded the imperial fleet. They kicked back and caught their breath as their hearts slowed their beating.
"What do you want me to call you clone?" Merek asked.
"Call me Starkiller because I never knew a Galen Merek. I store the last Memories of Starkiller in me. I'm The death of Starkiller you are the rebirth of something greater, Galen Merek."
Starkiller and Merek sat their for a while. After a long silence Merek sensed a colossal shift in the force.
"Oh no! Kashyyyk! We must go there!" Merek exclaimed fearfully.
"Why? What happened?!" Starkiller asked frantically.
"A hard shift in the force told me something went terribly wrong on the planet Kashyyyk!" Merek replied.
Suddenly Tie fighters appeared behind the Rogue Shadow. Automatic style laser guns on the tips of the wings. As red streaks of lasers flashed by the Tie fighters. A deadly race between the Rogue Shadow and the three Tie Fighters commenced.
"Starkiller take control!" Merek shouted, "I'm going to take manual control of our guns!"
Merek ran to one of the side wings and strapped himself into a rotating chair. The ship was mostly meant for stealth and quiet missions. That doesn't mean it didn't had weapons.
As he fired bright, scarlet lasers at the Tie fighters his chair rotated in any way he needed it to. One came up really fast, but Merek led the Tie Fighter with his gun and BOOM! The Tie Fighter was nothing more than a cloud of smoke, burnt metal, and ash.
The automatic gun on the other side got a lucky shot in and it blew up another Tie Fighter. It was the last Tie Fighter that was the hardest to get. It weaved and twirled through space evading every shot from Merek's guns and the automatic gun.
"I can't get a beat on him!" Merek frustratedly exclaimed.
"Let's try something different!" Starkiller said.
Starkiller sped up on the Tie Fighter and now they were neck and neck. Starkiller forced the Tie Fighter into an asteroid field and the edge of its wing smashed into a large asteroid. Without thinking Merek blasted it with his gun and just like that singed metal, ash, and greenish orange fire flew out in every direction.
"Whew... That was a close one!" Starkiller said in relief.
"Now. To Kashyyyk." Merek stated moseying back to the cockpit.
In the reflection of Darth Vader's shiny, black helmet showed a man walking through a door. Vader stared off into the deep black space lost in memories of sadness and torment. His thoughts were interrupted by the fearful stutter of the quivering Admiral of the Star Destroyer.
"My L-Lord we lost the R-Rogue Shadow after they-" The Admiral was interrupted by an angry, deep voice.
"You're lack of eminence angers me." Darth Vader impatiently said in his deep, overpowering voice. He was strangling the Admiral and was lifting him a foot off the ground. He was the Admiral of the Star Destroyer he sent to kill Galen Merek.
"Lord Vader. We picked up on Merek's transmission." Said the Lieutenant of the Star Destroyer.
"I'm listening." Vader replied draining the last bit of life from the Admiral and throwing him off to the side.
"He-umm-is heading for Kashyyyk-s-sir." The Lieutenant stuttered in fear.
"Hmm... Good work Lieutenant. You have just been promoted to the position of Admiral. DON'T FAIL ME AGAIN!" Darth Vader said with words sharp as a knife.
It seemed as though the new Admiral had forgotten how to breath. His heart skipped a beat and he flinched as if he got cut by a real knife. With fear in his eyes the new Admiral walked off with his skin getting paler by the second.
