"Hello guys! Sorry I took so long to post this chapter, had to deal with a few issues, but you will find this chapter interesting, I am doing something new with the other chapters, so keep reading and stay tuned for more!"
Chapter 10 An Unexpected Victory.
Queen Anna aboard her new flagship Fury the same size of her sister's ship, gazed upon the blockage of Naboo, tens of thousands of the separatist ships now cruising forward to engage her own battlegroups of over a five hundred thousands ships, seeing the numerous vulture droids and droid tri-fighters heading towards her, also seeing the separatist fleet split itself in half.
"All ships! Deploy the X-Wings, A-Wings and Y-Wings! Send our gunships down to the planet immediately!"
"All Resurgence battlecrusiers target both the heavy cruisers and Lucrehulk battleships! Assertors assist in the attack, Bellators dispatch all legions to the planet at once! Legators deploy all starfighters, provide cover for the gunships.. I want them down on the ground in one piece!"
Thousands upon thousands of X-Wings, A-Wings and Y-Wings soon engaged the incoming wave of droid starfighters, exchanging fire already the separatist starting to suffer causalities mostly due to the upgraded X-Wings, adding Ultrachrome as their armor making the starfighter highly maneuverable, in addition it was now outfitted with powerful double deflector shields, increasing the changes of survival against tri-fighters lethal weaponry.
"That's one down and another!" said Captain Poe Dameron, pulling up to engage another tri-fighter.
"Don't get too cocky, focus on the goal, we need to take out those providence class dreadnaughts!"
"Already working on it, Red Seven with me, go straight in and don't let these thugs scare you!" seeing the massive swarm of both vulture and tri-fighter droids heading right for them, blocking their way to the dreadnaughts.
"Punch it!" activating the turbo boast picking up speed passing through them, his squadron did the same, the droids barely had time to react before seeing one dreadnaught engulfed in flames as one of the X-Wings took out the bridge while the A-Wings and Y-Wings continously bombarded the dreadnaught till there was nothing left but a fiery explosion.
Sunlight shone on her eyes, just as Elyse turned to left side of the bed, unknowingly to her small particles appeared forming themselves into a hand, which placed itself on her hair gently stroking it, what followed next was a very familiar voice she missed, pulling her blanket to her shoulders thinking it was just a dream.
"Elyse! Elyse! Wake up dear.." She turned around opening her eyes, seeing a face slowly forming, within five seconds it was complete, light begin emerging from her face along with a glittering smile.
"Mummy! I missed you.. what time is it?" her eyes fully opened beholding Elsa's radiance.
"Mummy has been very busy.. hmm the force has become very strong in you.. I need you to come this coordinates.. Luke and Rey will be joining you.." placing her hand on her daughter's forehead.
"You will be accompanied by three hunter killer droids, and a pilot is waiting for you at my personal hangar, you will see me soon."
"Where are you going Mummy?" asked Elyse.
"I have a important meeting to attend, I have to tie up some loose ends that has been going for a very long time, I have to go.. remember I love you and the force will be with you.." She saw Elsa slowly vanished before her very eyes.
Within the inner sanctuary of the castle, nobles from every class ranging from countesses, baronesses, duchesses, counts, marquees and archdukes gathered to discuss the future of the nobility, also their future in the Elsa's aristocracy, taking their seats across the oval shaped conference table, while Cogsworth the grand duke took his seat at the head of the table, while Lumiere the Archduke took his at the bottom.
"The Omniarch has the very galaxy at her fingertips, we are not needed any longer.. gentleman you must realise our nobility is at stake.. if we don't find a solution.. we might find ourselves being thrown out like we are some useless worn out antique!" said Cogsworth.
"Perhaps you are seeing it a wrong way, our nobility has been established well before she had taken power, she has no reason to kick us out or take away our power.. we fought for it and earn it, I believe she knows we still hold considerable power.." said Lumiere.
"Considerable power? Have you not seen what she has done? She has abolished the house of the lords, eradicated the long standing republic which has lasted for a millenia.. even worse she has the power to even erase us all from existence if she wanted to.."
"The aristocracy is a brilliant move! More power gets transferred to us, we can get to rule alongside with her, with our education and our experience in our respective fields we would be able to help this vast galaxy manage their affairs, we may even get to govern the new planets which she has recently discovered.." said Countess Sofia.
"She has the force lords to help with that, if you are selected do expect her to place skyhigh standards on you, she is very particular about this new planets, with the indigenous natives there, she will expect us to lead them according to her customs not our own.." replied the Grand Duke.
"Her father needed us to run the affairs of the kingdom, I believe she needs us in some way, even more now than before.. even if she decides to remove us from power, we still get to keep the lands and properties we have acquired over the years, to which I remind you she has generously rewarded us for our service to her.. it gets bigger every year.."
"She is just paying us to keep us just as figureheads, it's all facade.. all we do each day is take care of the affairs of the earth and to the other nations, frankly I prefer to govern a empty planet where I will be king, I will raise my own people, I will build my throne higher than that of the Omniarch herself!" everyone stared at him in disgust, while some looked at him shock.
"If we were mere figureheads, we would be sitting in our manors sipping a cup of tea, the only reason why we are here is due to her generosity and grace, by saying what you just said, you have lost your place among us, I strongly suggest you take back those ungrateful words before she hears of it.." said Lumiere.
"The needs of the government here on earth are just so many, you can't begin to imagine their demands, every single day they complain than praise my work or abilities.. she is not paying me enough to put with this nonsense day by day! There are many planets we could colonise and start our own kingdom.. this is a opportunity we ought not to miss out! Imagine what we can do, we will rival and even overthrow her if we start now.." shouted Cogsworth.
"Grand Duke Cogsworth! Please come to your senses before its too late!" yelled Lumiere, but before he could say another word, they saw what look like stars forming behind the grand duke, slowly they begin to form a white figure, as a face they were so familiar with begin to form, the figure now formed exploded in a brief white light engulfing the room before receding. Their eyes now fixed on her.
"Your Eminence!" standing to their feet, bowing their heads, Elsa waved her right hand seeing her eyes glowing, they took their seats once again trying to hold back the expressions of fear written all over them. Elsa now turned facing Cogsworth, his confidence slowly melting away trying to keep his eye on her.
"Grand Duke Cogsworth! You had the best position of my kingdom! You even possess the most lands because of your loyal service to me, did you truly think because of your prestige, knowledge, status, wealth and lands made you worthy BEFORE MY EYES! DID YOU THINK I DID NOT SEE THROUGH YOU, THE MOMENT YOU STEP INTO MY THRONEROOM?!"
"Your… Omniness… if I may… please pardon him… he doesn't..." Elsa turned and shot Lumiere a deathly look.
"You WILL be quiet as much as possible! Or I guarantee you will be sharing his fate!" her voice echoed throughout the room like thunder, his courage melted upon sitting down.
"Cogsworth, you were but A MERE INSECT BEFORE ME! Always looking to oppress others so you can rise above them, always seeking opportunities to crush your opposition by any means nesscessary! NOW YOU SEEK TO OVERTHROW ME?! SET YOUR THRONE ABOVE ME WILL YOU?"
"Now you will suffer for the choice you made, and not only you, but your family along with you! FOR YOUR CRIME OF ATTEMPTED REBELLION, I SUPREME OMNIARCH HEREBY CAST YOU AND YOUR FAMILY INTO THE NEVER ENDING DARKNESS OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT, YOU WITH YOUR FAMILY WILL BE FALLING FOR ALL ETERNALITY WITH NO RESPITE!" She declared, they watched as a black portal formed below him sucking him into it.
Elsa sat down, placing her hands on her forehead, glaring angrily at all of them, "Gather here all of you tomorrow at eight, I want a word with all of you regarding your roles! GET OUT OF MY SIGHT! ALL OF YOU!" her words send them reeling, hearing the door closed behind her, she unleashed her full fury, her hands raised in the air, bringing it down with her full might a huge crack formed across the table splitting it in half.
"You were my closet friend Cogsworth! You were there for me always.. I gave you EVERYTHING! WHAT… WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! NARRAAGGGGHHH!"
Taking the chairs by the handles now above her head threw them into the wall, the noise was so loud as her anger grew, suddenly the whole castle violently shook, chandeliers, protraits and tables begin to shake, some chandeliers broke loose falling across the hallways, the walls begin to crack everyone took shelter within the inner sanctuam of the castle, protected by mandorian iron shielding themselves from her wrath, her power was so great it send ripples throughout the force, Anna and Anakin felt it the most, "ARRRGGHHH!" yelled Anna falling to the ground.
"Oh..Elsa!" cried Anna, feeling dazed two of her personal guards helped her stand still, focusing her power, she regained her vision trying to focus on the battle ahead of her, wishing she could be there to help her, however she sensed the force had already send someone to aid her sister.
Elyse, Luke and Rey reached the hangar boarding the ship, they admire the interior of the ship, feeling enthusiastic about the trip they were about to undertake, they wondered which planet would they be visiting, when the pilot turned to face them, wearing a brownish long sleeve jacket, with a hat, with a moustache across his face, he examined them one by one.
"Welcome aboard, the name's Nico Okarr and I will be your captain for the day.. hmm so this is the kids her most royal highness wants me to send to Dagobah, too young if you ask me.. but hey who I am to argue?" questioning himself.
"Who are you calling a kid? We are the royal children of the Omniarch, how dare you speak to us like that!" shouted Luke.
"A royal pain is more like it, you young child have much to learn about respecting those older than you.."
"Luke, maybe you should play Dejarik with Rey, the last time she beat you.." said Elsye.
"Sure thing, beats talking to this loudmouth here, I will ensure mother hears about this, he will be sacked within the day.. come Rey let's go!" they both made their out way of the cockpit to the dejarik table.
"How did you aquire this ship? I am aware it once belong to a smuggler such as yourself, named Han Solo?" His face froze for a few seconds, before turning to face her, wondering how she knew about the millennium falcon.
"Ah yes.. the legendary Han Solo.. put this way I paid a very prize for it, however thanks to her majesty who put an end to the Hutts and their crime families, this ship was on sale.. many bounty hunters wanted this ship, but I happened to call in a special favor.." pressing down a blue button.
"What kind of favor?" asked Elyse.
"The kind that seems the worst decision to the best one!" staring into the stars recalling the time, when he was supposed to steal a very powerful sith artifact.
Quietly making his way through the vents, he looked at the holomap of the royal castle, seeing his prize was not far away, he slipped passed another security camera, gazing down seeing two hunter killer droids patrolling the hallway, he stood closer to get a better look to his shock, they were indeed the latest model of the newest hunter killer droids, but he noticed something else, they had beskar armor, one of them seemed to stop, instantly he moved forward avoiding their gaze, made his way towards the Omniarch's personal study.
"There it is!" seeing the artifact on the silver oval table, sitting on top of many reports, proposals, letters of recommendations and commendations also financial requests from dignitaries from other planets, "Time to cut my way down." coming down from the vents he silently made his way down, creeping across the room grabbing his prize.
"They say getting into this castle hard? If only they could see me now! You my dear will make me rich.. very rich!" putting the glowing crimson pyramid artifact into his jacket, peeping out of the room making sure no one was watching.
"Sure is quiet here, what happened to all the droids? Did they take a day off.. for the most well secured place in the galaxy, it's not that well secured at all.. wait.. oh its one of her children.." seeing Rey walking towards the observatory, "Hmm?" turning around to see nothing.. "I must be having seeing things.. just one peak at the stars and I am off to sleep.." running towards the spiral staircase, making her way up.
"How did she know I was here?" scratching his head in disbelief, "time to activate my stealth generator, wait till they hear about this.. I will be a hero!" walking towards the hangar, gazing at his ship, "At last time to make my great escape, security shouldn't be so tight here.. wait… my ship is out of fuel? That's impossible! I am sure I had it filled up to the max darn it!" he pondered on what to do next.
"This castle should have more than one hangar, maybe I will burrow a ship from her, I am sure she wouldn't missed any of them.." he laughed, after an hour of searching he found the royal hangars, in front of him he saw three of them, "They are..huge.. which one to pick… hmm the middle one.. let's see how strong her encryption is…" slicing through the encryption.
"By the freaking stars! This is a nightmare! Her encryption is three times worst than all Hutts vaults combined.. hmm.. almost.. got… and there!" The buttons flashed green as the main hangar doors opened steadily.
"She…she's a beauty! The millennium falcon itself? I thought this was lost in the war against the first empire..its as good as new even has shiny surface..can't wait to see the look on their faces when they see this!" touching the smooth surface of the ship, unable to make out what the ship was coated with, he searched for the button to lower the hatch.
"Just need to enter the codes and wa la! Credits here I come.." the hatch itself slowly touching the ground, gazing up he saw a figure he almost thought he was dreaming.
"Captain Nico Okarr! I have been waiting for you.. good job in breaking my encryption.. by my count you took five minutes.." Elsa smirked, placidly walking towards him.
"The Omniarch? How did.. my plan was perfect… no one saw me… it's.. not possible!" stumbling to the floor, moving backwards from her.
"You forgot one important detail my dear captain, the force, I knew you would be in the vents, you only made this far because I wanted to test your skills, guess what they do live up to their reputation… oh yes, you didn't think you could pull this off without getting caught did you?" clapping her hands three times.
"Alright your highness, you win.. what do you want?" pulling out a stun pistol, pressing down the trigger, the weapon fired but she absorbed it.."That tickles, are you done yet?" still smiling at him.
"What are you?" he asked, Elsa raised one hand using the force immobilsed him.
"Something beyond your comprehension, allow me to show you what you could gain from working for me!" phasing through the wall, entering into a bank vault, his eyes opened in awe, selves upon selves full of countless golden bars.
"In this vault alone is tens of thousands of Octodecillion credits! If I recalled I have ninety two Centillion credits, enough to construct massive fleets without end if I wanted to and this is just the beginning.. this wealth I will share with you.. if you swear your allegiance to me and end this life of smuggling for good."
"You…you have a deal… your majesty!" phasing back to the hangar, releasing him from her force grip, "The artifact.. if you may.." without hesitation he handed it back to her.
"Captain, this is a very powerful sith artifact the Emperor used.. if you have kept this, its power would have corrupted you, this ship is yours as long as you are loyal to me.. remember, I could have thrown you into prison for life.. but I am choosing to use you.. don't make me regret this decision."
"You have my word!" kneeling before her.
"Rise! Here is what I want you to do, you are to take my children to Dagobah tomorrow..as I have business to attend to, I need you to ensure they are safe, you will be escorted with three hunter killer droids..make sure they return in one piece.."
"Guards!" The doors opened revealing three hunter killer droids, armed with Saberstaffs, the lead droid holding a stun blaster leading them forward. "See this man to his room, he has a long day tomorrow!" She commanded.
"Don't worry, they will be back safe and sound before you know it.."
"It will take more than a few assuring words captain, prove it to me.." replied Elsa waving them away.
"It will be done your Eminence!" they said leading him out of the hangar, Elsa turned to see the falcon, after spending weeks upgrading the ship, engines, armaments, armor and shields, making test flights countless times making sure it was in perfect working order.
"Han Solo, even though I couldn't save you…but I will do all in my power to take care of him!" closing her eyes, now in shining in full radiance she walked into the cockpit, the lights sprang to life illuminating the control panel before her.
"Activate!" Speaking with authority, slowly one by one the buttons lit up, Elsa took one good look, examining every aspect of the cockpit, before walking out of the ship.
He blinked focusing his gaze into the black starry sky, they were halfway there, Elsye still wanted to know more about him probe him further, "So you are in this for the money, am I right?" She asked.
"Partially, it's more of a loyality issue.. I could have negotiated a more beneficial deal.. I can tell she is a perfectionist to the core, if anyone thinks they can please her by simply being loyal.. they are in for a very rude awakening.."
"How much does she intend to pay you?"
"So much more than anyone could pay me in his lifetime, all the wealth in the galaxy is laughable compared to the near infinite wealth she holds within her grasp, by a very..very great deal!"
"The only reason why I choose to stay is because she gave me a chance.. to change from the life of smuggling, otherwise I would gone back to my old ways.. but I am done with that for good.." Elyse sensed through the force he was not lying, he meant every word.
"We are coming out of hyperspace soon, you best get ready.. whatever the Omniarch has planned for all three of you is beyond me, but it's of great significance, Dagobah is one place I rather not be.." they came out of hyperspace, in front of them stood three resurgence battlecrusiers.
"Attention unidentified vessel please state your business here."
"I am here under orders from the Omniarch herself." he responded, a few seconds of silence before a response finally came.
"You are clear to proceed, stay clear of the swamps." passing through the atmosphere, Elsye wondered what was down there, she sensed the force was very strong in this planet, the hatch slowly opened as Elsye, Luke and Rey made their out, seeing the tall black trees everywhere, their roots stretch across the ground above there was barely any light, they made their way to what look like the entrance of the cave.
"This is my stop, her royal highness told me to wait here and not go any further than that.. she also mention you three are supposed to go into the cave.."
"The force is… strong inside this cave…" said Luke.
"There is someone or something dark down there.. I sense a deep darkness.." said Rey, stepping closer only to step back.
"We have to go in there, the force will guide us.. come along now.." said Elyse taking the lead, being the first one to step in, they watched as she slowly vanished into the cave, Luke stepped in after her, Rey sensed a stir within the cave however she closed her eyes for a second and entered into the cave.
"They say this cave is haunted, some even say no one emerges out of it alive.. always wondered why folks made such a big deal of this cave, it's probably all legends by some over enthusiastic archaeologists or something.."
"This cave captain has many secrets.. some of which none but other force users know.." said Elsa seemingly appearing out of nowhere staring into the blackness of the cave.
"How did? Oh yeah… the force…"
"Hundreds of years ago, a Jedi by the name of Minch battled and killed a powerful Bpfasshi dark Jedi leader, thus his energies were absorbed into its surroundings, thereby tainting the cave with the dark side.. it was here in this very cave I faced my darkest fears and emerged victorious!"
"Can you tell what's going on in that cave?" he asked, Elsa turned to look at him.
"There is much too disturbance, likely due to the dark side clouding my abilities, however they are about to face one of their greatest test yet, just like I did years ago.."
Luke turned his eyes looking around, the environment soon shifted into a well lit room the four corners of the wall full of different types of lightsabers, cautiously he picked one of them, holding it in his hands activating it, the yellowish superplasma sprang to life, he gazed at it in awe.
"Ah I sensed you desire the power to protect and destroy.. noble intentions no doubt.. if only you know how to use it.." The man stood at one point seven meters tall, with blue eyes, silvery hair, wearing a grayish robe, his fair face smiling at Luke, he sensed there was something strange about this man, not able to make out what it was raised his lightsaber pointing at him.
"Who are you?!" he shouted, the man unfazed was only a few inches away from the lightsaber pointing towards him. "We can be on the first name basis, my name is Sheev.. you desire power above all else is that so?" Luke raised his eyes, somehow the man was reading his mind.
"Power.. to do what needs to be done.. even there is a cost.. I will pay it!" a smile slowly formed on the man's face.
"You shall obtain it, the force itself is a gateway to many abilities many would consider unnatural, those who wield it's power ultimately reached their full potential, many have tried but so few have achieved it.."
"I want this power!" envisioning himself greater than his siblings.
"Only through me can you achieve a power that's greater than any of your sisters, your power will be so great.. that you will overpower them.."
"Tell me everything! I want to know everything there is to know!" deactivating his lightsaber.
"In time, my young apprentice.. your next test awaits you.. it will determine your worthiness to wield the great power of the force, you will hear from me again.. soon!" vanishing into thin air, seeing before his eyes a flash of light then everything went black.
Rey found herself surrounded by stacks and selves of books everywhere, wondering what they are, she climb on top of them, making her way up now at the pinnacle, she saw multiple books flying around, many of them had no titles, some had titles but they were fading, she gazed at one of the books flying towards the selve, however it stop and flew towards her, barely having react, she tried using the force but it was too late, the book slam at her with full force knowing her off the pile of books she stood on, falling straight down fortunately she fell on top of other books breaking her fall.
"What is this? Ugh.. now let's see what secrets you keep.." Rey lifted the book off her stomach turning it around to see the title, she couldn't believe her eyes, it was the book she was looking for, the title was written in large golden words, "The hidden secrets of the force."
"At last the book mother dearest has been keeping from me.. now I will learn of your secrets, what makes you so powerful.. more importantly what's the secret to your power.."
She opened the book flipping through the page to the first chapter, to her surprise there was more information than she realised, however being in the library for a very long time she learned how to read fast, sorting out the much needed information, thereby finishing a book in an hour.
"I am impressed mother, you wrote all this down yourself.. but why did you hid this book from me.. what do you have to hide? Now I will know.." reading pass chapter three, she saw a picture of the late emperor Sheev Palpatine, hastily reading all she could towards the next chapter, coming across another picture this time it was the now the long dead goddess Abelroth, Rey turned back the page to take a closer look at the dead emperor, noticing his eyes was glowing yellow.
"Wait a second.. those eyes weren't yellow before.. hmm perhaps I am just reading too much.." she turned the page back to chapter four, this time she saw the Omniarch blasting what look like a intense light beam from her palms towards the wall, she leaned in closer.
"A beam like this takes a good amount of concentration.. but I believe you are barely using even a fraction of your power!" She felt the urge to turn page back to chapter two again, the emperor now shot blue lightning from his fingertips.
"That too was not there, what's happening here?" suddenly the emperor began to speak.
"You seek the forbidden knowledge of the force, yes.. the force is strong with you.. I will share with you all the knowledge I have learned.. with no limits.. the knowledge and power beyond all limits, you will grow so powerful none will rival you.. all of this will be yours if you join me.." Rey thought about it for a moment, it was a tempting offer too good to pass up.
"All the knowledge of the force will be mine eventually.. but not through you!" Turning to page seven, there she saw her mother's power, planets starting to form, while stars, moons and lifeforms were created by her own hands. Suddenly she felt the book begin to vibrate violently, the face of the emperor rising from the book, now enraged glared at her, "If you will not be turn, YOU WILL BE DESTROYED!" his hands attempted to zap her with lightning, but the book shut itself, a blinding flash of light engulfed her, she shut her eyes, opening them to find herself in total darkness.
Elyse felt herself sitting on her mother's throne, now wearing a crystal crown, she looked down seeing herself dressed in her mother's icy dress, along her crystal cap hanging from her seat, there she saw dozen of dignitaries, ambassadors, senators, generals and advisors mingling with each other, she looked up as the light shone it's rays at her, she motioned for the advisor next to her to come closer.
"Where is the Supreme Omniarch?" She asked, the advisor shifted nervously in her royal clothing, struggling to find the right words to say.
"She is now… deceased.." Elyse eyes opened wide in shocked, the words hit her like a sledgehammer, a wave of fear and confusion hit her.
"How did she died… Speak!" She yelled grabbing him by his collars.
"YOU KILL HER!" The doors slammed wide opened, with both Rey and Luke drawing and igniting their lightsabers. Everyone soon left the room while the hunter killer droids attempted to fend off the attackers.
"MOTHER ALWAYS TREASURED YOU.. ALWAYS SO CLOSE TO HER.. THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY HER.. BY SWEARING ALLEGIANCE TO THE SITH EMPEROR? YOU… YOU BETRAY US ALL!"
Elyse watched as both of them dispatch them, while some of them manage to severely wound them both, however were soon defeated, too fearful and confused to even lift a finger stood there in complete shock.
"SHE GAVE YOU EVERYTHING.. YOU HAD EVERYTHING WE WISHED WE HAD.. BUT INSTEAD YOU WILLINGLY GAVE YOURSELF TO THIS DARK LORD AND LET HIM TWIST YOUR MIND.. SO MUCH SO YOU WERE WILLINGLY TO MURDER MOTHER, FATHER, AUNT ANNA AND UNCLE HANS IN COLD BLOOD!"
They were but a few inches away from her, she sensed their thoughts, they were going to execute her, unable to get it together, she bowed her hand accepting her fate, she saw their faces full of anger and rage, their blades ready to deliver the killing blow, she closed her eyes awaiting the inevitable, they raised their lightsabers above her head.
"Elyse! Elyse! Do you perceive this as reality, or is this all in your mind?" grasping his words, she expelled the fear and confusion from her mind, mustering her power, she unleashed a powerful force push knocking them into the wall, grabbing their lightsabers in a second dashed at them, plunged both lightsabers into their hearts.
"This is not real! I will never turn to the dark side! I am Princess Elyse, daughter of the Surpreme Omniarch!" both Luke and Rey faded away into thin air, the ghost of Qui Gon Jinn appeared before her.
"You have done well Elyse, like your mother you have overcome one of your greatest trial yet.. there will be more.. your power will only grow, however fear is your constant enemy you must fight and win each day if you are to reach your full potential."
"This crown… it carries more burdens than its worth… the power it wields is far too much for me to bear.. I can't do this alone…"
"You are never alone… as we speak your mother is waiting to see the outcome of this trial.. she did the right thing in setting you apart from them.. now your final trial awaits.." said Qui Gon.
"Will I become just like my mother one day?" Qui Gon rose placing his hand on her shoulders, "All will be revealed at the right time, it's time!" Elyse closed her eyes as the blinding flash of light consumed her, opening them finding Luke add Rey outside the dark entrance of another cave.
"Elyse, Luke! At last, you two alright? Can you move?" She helped them both to their feet, surveying the environment there was nothing but black clouds and streaks of lightning flashed across the sky, a cold wind begin blowing at them.
"That cave is emitting a powerful dark side energy, maybe something is lingering inside.. is this the final test?" said Rey.
"Only one way to find out~" Elyse about to walk in felt her hand being grabbed by her brother.
"Hold on there sister.. we still don't know what is in there.. it could be some time of trap, we need weapons to defend ourselves.."
"The cave has plenty of objects we need to make weapons, now come along.. unless you rather stay outside off course.." said Elyse walking inside.
"We should probably go.. no telling what might happen but I think we will be fine.." said Rey feeling confident.
"We are certainly going to die here.." sighing while walking into the cave.
Skulls of long dead creatures littered across the floor, slowly making their way across the stone bridge, as the dim light shone above them barely lighting the way, taking one step at the time being careful not to fall, they now came upon a wooden barricade, taking a step forward Elyse placed her hand on the barricade.
"Whoever made this is trying to keep us.. or something in~"
"Then we blast this thing down!" Before Elyse could stop him, Luke conjured a force ball smashing through the barricade, pieces of wood fell to the ground, Rey felt a ripple through the force placing her hand on her forehead.
"What is it Rey?" asked Elsye.
"Its nothing.. we probably should get moving.." walking alongside Luke.
"You did felt something did you?" asked Luke interrogating her.
"There is nothing here brother, if there is I will know.." they walked for an hour, coming at last to a three way path.
"What's this?" said Elyse picking up an object from the dirt, rubbing it clean with her fingers, soon finding out it was a lightsaber, finding the button she activated it, only to see its power dissipated.
"What do we do now?" asked Luke, both his and Rey's lightsabers too had the same problem, Elyse using the knowledge she had learn from her tutors, begin to look around used the force to removing the dirt to find there were a dozen lignan crystals, picking three of them up, she sat down focusing her power removing the components of the lightsaber.
"What are you doing?" asked Luke.
"Improvising dear brother, mummy always say the force is alive and it lives in us, I will put it to the test.."
"How are you going to do that?"
"By bringing the crystals to life!" lifting three crystals into her hands, she closed her eyes bringing her full power to bear on the crystals, her hands slowly started to glow, removing the broken crystal from the lightsaber, while getting rid of the power source, socketing in the first lignan crystal as its substitute, carefully placing in the second crystal and the third.
"The Force is a weapon, my extension, my will and my power! These crystals will that purpose!" opening her eyes, both them saw they were full of lightning, using her full power she blasted the crystals with lightning, empowering them, seeing them glow brighter and brighter until they sparked with power, sealing the lightsaber shut, she placed her hands on the hilt of the lightsaber, pushed the button.
"OOOOOOHHHHHHH YESSSS! THE POWER.. SO OVERWHELMING!" The power of three lignan crystals flowing through her, seeing lightning coursing through her entire body, as the lightsaber roared thunderously to life, the superheated blue plasma burst fourth, blue lightning soon emerged all around the blade striking anything within its radius.
"This is…amazing!" unable to keep their eyes off her, Elyse struck the lightsaber to the ground, the excessive power struck the ground dispersing it's energy. Closing her eyes, while taking a deep breath, she blink looking at her siblings who were still in awe of her.
"This same power is yours, just do what I did.." She said, within minutes they forged their new lightsaber, feeling slightly empowered they gazed at their lightsabers, their blades emited a powerful glow, Luke's lightsaber glowed a luminous green while Rey a radiant gold, suddenly they sensed a disturbance in the force, something had awoken now making its way towards them, hearing the ground shake with each step it took.
"What sort of creature is that?"
"Krayt dragons, there is three of them and they are heading through those tunnels in front of us.." they soon emerged from the shadows, standing at fourty five meters, they roared at them.
"Now! Attack them!" The dragon attempted swiping her with its claws, jumping behind it, the beast swung its tail knocking her away, shifting it's position to face her, it attempted to bite her hand, seeing the opportunity, she swung her lightsaber at its expose neck, yelling it pain, the beast charged at her, barely having the time to react she leaped onto its back, the dragon jerked trying its best to get her off, Elyse almost lost her balance, her hands slipping off its back, seeing no other way she plunge her lightsaber into its skin, the beast yelled in pain, Elsye taking her lightsaber, reached the top of its body, leaped into the air, lightsaber in her hand, raising it high swung it down hard, cutting through its flesh, severing it's head from its neck, the body lay motionless.
"Time we end this beast!" Luke exhausted, lifted the dragon into the air using the force, crushing every bone in its body, placing both hands together, used the forced splitting it's body in half.
"Enough! You will now experience every organ explode in your body dragon!" Rey using the force brought down the jagged pillars down on it, going through its thick hide, it roared in pain, her eyes now glowed blue, clenched her right hand into a fist, every cell, veins, organs begin to explode one by one, slowly dying a agonising death, liquid begin flowing out of its noses and eyes, laying there dead. The ground suddenly collapsed beneath them, rendering unconscious, within ten minutes they awoke to find themselves outside of the cave.
"Welcome back to reality, was starting to get worried there.. you have been gone for a long time.." said Nico Okarr.
"For about how long captain?" he barely had time to respond when three X-Wings and one gunship, arrived at the surface.
"By order of the Omniarch, you three are to use these X-Wings and head to Naboo immediately.. she needs you to take out their command ship.. and break the stalemate." said the captain, they nodded and nervously hop in, not having a clue how to pilot the multi purpose starfighter. Soon they were out atmosphere as the droids input the coordinates to jump to hyperspace.
"The Force is your guide, let it flow through you.." said Qui Gon Jinn, they closed their eyes allowing the force to flow, taking a firm hold of the controls jumping into hyperspace.
Coming out of hyperspace behind Anna's flagship, they saw the separatist fleet were trying their best to prevent any landing, both vulture and tri-fighter droids were targeting the gunships instead of the X-Wings or A-Wings, seeing all of the fleet engaged in ship to ship combat as blaster bolts were exchanged, seeing one providence dreadnaught exploded, while two Assertors were badly damaged also fire was emerging on the surface of the ships hull, both ships were locked in a stalemate none gaining any advantage over the other.
"Elyse? What are you doing here?" asked Anna.
"I will explained later Aunty Anna, we need to take out their command ship, once it's down this battle will turn in our favor."
Anna knew that was suicide none of her fighters least of all her ships could get through the multiple ships and droid tri-fighters defending that ship, but she came out with a plan, "All squadrons provide cover for the princess, make sure she gets to that ship!" they responded with hails of acknowledgement.
"All squadrons formed up on me! We are going after that command ship!" switching all power to proton torpedoes, making their way past the numerous swarm of droids fighters, finally reaching the Subjugator class heavy cruiser.
"All squadrons focus your fire on the bridge, once it's down the battle is over.." taking aim at the bridge, she fired her two proton torpedoes, using the force empowering it further, the torpedoes struck the bridge piercing it's thermal shields, causing a huge explosion, while the other squadrons took heavy fire, the others managed to finished the rest of ship off, with the lost of the command ship, the remaining ships now disoriented targeted all nearly ships.
"Return to my flagship, this battle~"
"Is already won!" said Anakin over the holochannel, as tens of thousands of X-Wings, Y-Wings, A-Wings jumped out of hyperspace, destroying the remaining ships, with the Resurgence battlecrusiers following behind, engaging and finishing off the remainder of the separatist fleet, with the blockage now cleared, they send gunships down to planet finishing off the droid armies.
