Chapter Nine

"That's it!" Scorch said, ducking to avoid being hit with a missile. He took out a handful of EC Detonators. "Let's see how their shields like this." He said. "Put up your shields Delta Squad!" He tossed the ECs and the exploded upon impact, shooting out electrical current, shutting down the droids for a brief moment.

"Get across to the lift!"

"Take, take, take!"

The four commandos shoved the droids aside and ran for the lift. Sev turned and took out his sniper attachment. "And they say we get all the fun jobs." Sev muttered. He fired a shot, which hit the det packs.

Boss hit the button to go down as the packs exploded, causing the unit to collapse on it's self. The energy unit at the top shattered and the electricity inside went wild all over the room, hitting the droids, blowing their power units up.

The Turbo-lift stopped at the ground floor several minutes later. The doors opened and they took off for the other turbo-lifts. The place was starting to come down around their helmets.

"Boss, I thought the intel said it would only knock out it's main systems so our forces could destroy it!"

"That's what I was told, Fixer…"

The suit was black. The breathing was heavy. The blade was red. Anakin held his blade against Vader's. "You must know you are defeated…" He said to Anakin. Anakin just smirked. "No… but I know you are."

He raised his blade and brought it down. Vader moved and blocked his attack, but Anakin didn't waiver. He moved again, and swung his saber, But Vader's will was strong. "You are strong. But you are not a master yet."

"I'm more of a master then you'll ever be, Sith!" Anakin let out a war cry and charged Vader with a series of quick and furious attacks. "Ugh!" Left, right, and in all directions their blades went.

Ahsoka didn't let up with her series of attacks on Maul. Matt leaped at him, and Maul brought one side of his blade up to block the attack, while at the same time, blocking another attack from Ahsoka.

"Come on, freak!" Matt hissed, kicking Maul in the side, knocking him away and bringing up his blade. Ahsoka followed his lead and moved in on the other side of the Sith. Maul glared at Matt and Ahsoka.

Suddenly he force pushed Ahsoka backwards, and she hit the wall, and slumped to the ground unconscious. Matt looked over at her, suddenly terrified. He looked over at Maul, and realized he was suddenly alone in this fight.

Maul just smiled sinisterly and raised one end of his light saber. Matt backed up and held his blade out in front of him. He swallowed and then took a deep breath and let it out. "Let's end this."

Aayla moved her blade quickly, blocking Malak's blade and then Bane's blade, before leaping backwards to refocus herself. "Come on then." She taunted. Bane rushed in first, and Aayla was ready, quickly charging at him.

The two met in the middle and The blades caught, but only for a brief moment, as the blue blade slipped down, past the red blade, under the hilt, and then up, slicing through the hands, and then forward through the neck.

The head fell to the ground first, and rolled away slightly, stopping as it hit the wall. The last face Bane will ever make was surprise. Aayla moved her wrist slightly, and pointed her blade down to the ground, in a partial victory stance.

Malak laughed. "Bane was a fool. You will not kill me as easily."

Aayla nodded. "We, shall see."

Revan smashed his blade down, but Obi-Wan blocked his strike, and pushed him back into the wall. "Surely, Jedi, you can do better."

Obi-Wan nodded slowly. "Funny. I was just going to say the same to you." They lunged at each other, and Revan caught Obi-Wan off guard and kicked him into the wall before turning with his blade, and slicing Obi-Wan's arm. It was just a singe, but it hurt like hell.

Revan stepped back and raised his sword, and then brought it down quickly --- Only to hit a yellow blade. Revan looked up, his mask concealing his surprise. "Another, brave, but foolish Jedi. I like to watch your down falls, one right after the other."

Ajmina just smiled. "You really don't know who I am, do you?" She asked, slowly pushing his blade up. He pulled back and spun around, ready to do combat with her. She rolled her eyes. She hated it when they showed off like that. It was annoying.

He waved her on. She nodded. "Khan…" Obi-Wan said. She waved him off. "Shhh. I just saved your ass. Thank me later." She said, turning and glaring at Revan. "Let's see what's behind that mask…"

Siri worked frantically at the blast door locks. It was taking too long. "Blasted Nerf Herding Fierfek…" She hissed, trying not to cry. She couldn't let her emotions get the better of her. It wasn't the Jedi way.

But it seemed that every calming technique she tried refused to work. She had to get into that room. She couldn't let that monster kill him. She shoved the saber left, then right, before she forced it up, and around, cutting out an entire hole in the center of the door.

She hit the locking mechanism and the doors opened up. Before she could move an inch, Matt went flying past her, and hit the wall. He scrambled for his light saber hilt. He held his hand out, calling upon the force. But it wasn't moving fast enough. Darth Maul walked up to him slowly…
