Korah Matah

Just then, the massive black doors opened up at the end of the hallway, revealing a figure cloaked in black. The group of rebels stopped in their tracks. The man looked up, exposing his tattooed red and black face. Elsa stopped with disbelief written across her face. Everything was falling into place, just as the dream had predicted. The look passed in a nanosecond. Starting forward again, she spoke: "We'll handle this."

Rapunzel and the rebels began to clear out of the way. "We'll take the long way around" Rapunzel replied. Anna and Elsa walked forward, then slowed to a stop around ten feet away from the Sith. The three began to remove their robes. They were completely oblivious to the skirmish of laser-fire ensuring behind them. The Sith pulled out his lightsaber and activated it, one red, shimmering blade, and then another to form a double-bladed lightsaber. The sisters pulled out their lightsabers and reactivated them. The Sith menacingly glared, and prepared to attack.

Anna was the first to react, leaping over the Sith in a somersault, sword swinging. He deflected the blow as Anna landed right behind him. She swung the again, and the fight began in earnest. As the three jabbed, thrust, parried, and performed other feats of finesse, Elsa noticed that the Sith was almost timid in his strikes. It seemed to her that he was leading them on, but for what purpose? She decided to focus on the fight, and not her questions.

The battle had spilt into a grand maintenance room littered with broken droid parts and scorched walls. The Sith took the opportunity to exploit an opening in Elsa's defense and kicked her in the chest. She hit the floor with a thud and was knocked backwards. Anna swung at the Sith, but he flipped back towards a door. Using the Force, he summoned a battle droid part, and flung it at the door controls behind him. Elsa recovered as the door behind the Sith slowly opened. Anna charged, striking at him with a variety of moves. Elsa reached the pair and rejoined the fray.

A few seconds later, the Sith parried one of Anna's attacks and kicked her in the chin. She flew backwards and slid across the floor. The Sith jumped over Elsa and backpedaled as Elsa struck at him. The pair began to head into a large power-generating room, filled with plasma tubes and catwalks. Anna rejoined the fray as the Sith redirected Elsa into the stone doorway from which they had just passed. They struck at each other again, and the Sith led them onto a small, circular control station, where a brief lull in the battle occurred.

The following moment was to be emblazoned in history forever. The Sith glared at them, the full menace of the dark side radiating from him. Elsa adopted a defensive form, ready for him to strike. Anna glared back at the Sith, adrenaline, willpower, and the Force coursing through her veins. Anna falsely charged at him while Elsa swung her lightsaber. The Sith deflected the attack, then somersaulted backwards onto a nearby catwalk. The two Jedi jumped to join him, and the three locked swords.
