Chapter nine
"Now the plan is for Kanan, Ezra, Sabine, Chopper and Han to get the mask." Leia says explaining the plan on board the Ghost about to dock on Sohn Vader's flageship, "While I take on Luke, Hera wait to fire a shot from the special blaster that will disable his suit. Zeb, R2, 3PO and Chewy will stay behind with the ship."
Everyone nods. "Now if I am still in battle with Luke, which is very likely, do not hesitate to take the shot yourself. Understood?" Again everyone nods. "Then get ready and may the Force be with you."
As soon as they dock Kanan, Ezra, Sabine and Han begin firing on the Strom Troopers. They begin to make their way through the ship. After they have been gone for a while Leia steps out. She lowers her shields knowing that it will alert Luke to her presences and draw him out. Hera walks out and finds some cover in some nearby crates.
"Ready?" Hera asks.
"Yes."
Sohn looks up from his meditation.
'So you have finally come to fight me.'
He gets up and leaves to confront his sister.
Ezra puts his arm up to tell everyone to halt. They dive into a hall and watch Sohn Vader walk past. Sohn stops briefly sensing Han and Sabine, but continues believing them to be no threat. They wait until Sohn has left the area then continue on to his chambers.
Upon arriving Ezra and Kanan take out their sabers and engage two Knights of Ren guards. The guards fight back with their own sabers. Sabine peaks out and shots at one of the gaurds who block her shots with his saber. Ezra then switches his saber into blaster mode catching the guards off guard. He stuns them and Kanan finishes them off.
"Ok. Now to get that mask." Kanan says. They enter the room and begin their search.
"So you are here to fight me Sister?" Sohn asks walking into the hanger, lightsaber already ignited.
"No. No! I've come to save you!" Leia shouts. She activates her blue lightsaber and charges towards her brother.
Ezra pauses and reaches out with the Force. "That way." He points. They enter a large room.
"Wonder what this room's for?" Han asks.
"Looks like a sparing room." Kanan says.
"Come on! The mask is nearby." Ezra says.
Sohn and Leia clash blades. Leia spins striking for Sohn's neck, but Sohn blocks it.
"You have gotten better sister."
"Luke stop! I know you're in there!"
Anger rises in Sohn. He throws out a Force push knocking Leia to the ground.
"I am Sohn Vader! Luke Skywalker is dead! Any attempt to bring him back won't work sister!"
"I don't believe that!" Leia shouts getting up, "You call me your sister, but how can I be if you claim the name Vader? My father is Anakin Skywalker not Darth Vader as is yours!"
Sohn yells and strikes. Leia blocks as their battle continues.
They locate a hidden room. Ezra and Chopper mange to open the door. Immediately four Knights of Ren guards poor out. Kanan and Ezra engage them. Han and Sabine fire whenever they see an opening.
Sabine draws over one of the guards. She kicks the lightsaber out of his hand and punches him in the face knocking him out. She grabs the saber and tosses it to Kanan. Kanan activates it and uses it along with his saber to block then strike his opponent on the neck beheading him.
Han rushes a guard firing many shots. The guard is unable to block all of them and is eventually hit.
Ezra throws out a Force push knocking the last guard down. He reaches out with the Force and takes the guard's Saber from his hand. Han shots the guard in the heart to end his life.
They run into the room and find Vader's mask on a small podium in a glass case. Han Takes the end of his blaster and smashes the glass. He grabs the helmet and the group heads off to help Leia.
Leia and Sohn clash blades again. Leia backflips to get out of range. She sense Han coming as well as Sohn. Leia focuses on Sohn's cape and uses the Force to undo it the toss it aside. Sohn reaches out with the Force and grabs hold of Leia in a loss Force choke.
"It is time to end this sister!" He yells.
"I couldn't agree more brother." Leia spots Han, "Han now!"
Sohn looks back at the smuggler and is immediately shot in the back with a strange looking blaster. Something sticky attaches itself to him and electricity courses through his body shutting down his suit's systems.
"Hurry!" Leia yells.
Strom Troopers arrive at the scene and start firing. Han and Kanan grab Sohn and pull him onto the Ghost. Everyone else follows with Leia and Ezra blocking blaster firs with their Sabers. As soon as everyone's on board the ship takes off. The ship is then pursed by several Ties. Chewy and Ezra take to the blaster turrets. Han and Kanan set Sohn on a bed to get his life support systems back on.
"Anakin we could really use your help right now!" Leia calls out. Anakin materializes. "Thank you. Now who do we turn Luke's life support back on?"
Anakin instructs Leia what to do. They quickly get Luke breathing again.
Leia sighs as Luke's respirator starts working. "I thought I'd never be happy to hear that sound."
Anakin also sighs. "Neither did I."
"Quick! Get those drugs in him that we got from the Sorcerous." Leia orders.
Kanan takes out two syringes and plunges each of them, one after another, into Luke's upper right arm.
"Ok. I got the drug that will keep him unconscious and the one that suppresses the Force. Where did the Sorcerous get these anyway?" Kanan asks.
Leia shrugs. "How should I know? All I care is that we're going to get my brother back."
The Ghost enters hyperspace heading to their next destination.
