Flame Breath
Sky sat in the closet feeling very uncomfortable. Where her foot used to be was really hurting, the closet was small and hard to see in, and now she really had to sneeze. She couldn't though. That would give her away.
This situation only got worse when she heard two people stop outside the closet and start talking. She tried to ignore her discomfort and hear what they were saying. It was something about bringing parts to work on the Death Star. So what's a Death Star? She wondered.
Then they changed the subject. They needed something from the closet! Sky got into her attack crouch. They opened the door and saw her. She couldn't hold off the sneeze anymore though. She sneezed, and black smoke came pouring out of her mouth. It took all of them, both the imperials and Sky, by surprise. On the plus side is also made seeing and breathing harder. For Sky, who had a great sense of smell and had could have fire in her stomach without having breathing problems, this was an advantage. She attacked and killed them both.
However, before she could return to the closet someone came around the corner and saw her. Rather than fight, which she would have preferred, he ran. Oh no you don't. she thought angrily. She dragon dashed after him. That was a mistake. When she came around the corner she saw an army of storm troopers waiting for her. She let out a roar of surprise. Quickly Sky shot smoke out of her mouth again, clouding their vision. A few of them had managed to shoot at her before she could do that, but it just bounced off her scales like always.
Sky dashed off through the halls again. She looked wildly around for a new place to hide. How could that have been the only closet? This ship is huge!
Sky was beginning to panic now. This was like when she'd tried to escape the trade federation, except this time there was no Ahsoka to help her. There's no one at all who will help me now.
Then she came to an empty room with a huge sphere in it. Upon smelling it she could tell no one used it very often. So she slipped in and closed it behind her. It was very odd in here. She could breathe easier here for one, without the need to sneeze. Well, wherever it is, I'll be safe. At least for now.
Later on, Sky wasn't sure how much later, she heard the sphere opening. She turned around in dread. Standing there was a man in a black suit who sounded like he was breathing through a snorkel. "Anakin. Er . . . Darth Vader." Sky said in total surprise.
"So, Obi Wan told you." He responded.
For a second Sky felt deep in shock because that meant the emperor had been telling the truth. Then it changed to confusion. "Obi Wan? Obi Wan is dead!"
"No, he is very alive. And I have a feeling you know where he is."
"I told you, he's-I thought, he was dead. I don't have a clue where he is." She stared Vader up and down. He didn't look, sound, or smell anything like Anakin. Yet he was. He and the emperor had said so. Unless this was a very crazy conspiracy it was true.
"Sky, this is a very important matter. You must tell me where he is."
"I'm going to say this slow because you don't seem to be catching on. I don't know where he is."
Vader paced back and forth a bit. Without being able to see his face or hear anything but snorkel sounds, it was impossible to figure out what he was thinking. "You've been killing the storm troopers. You still side with the Jedi."
"How could I not? One of them saved me." Then her voice got lower. "How could you not?"
"That doesn't matter." He stopped pacing and turned to 'face' Sky. "What matters is you are now an enemy." He lifted his hand.
Sky felt a strange sensation on her throat. She couldn't breathe. He's going to kill me! I don't care if he was Anakin or not. He's not anymore and I'm not letting him kill me. With what breath Sky had left she shot out more smoke. It went to his mask and he had to stop and cough.
Sky took the opportunity to run out of there as fast as possible. She didn't get very far before she came across the army of storm troopers again. Now she was getting angry. Can't I go anywhere! I need a brake already! She breathed smoked out of mouth in anger. But this time smoke wasn't the only thing, fire came out too. It set the storm troopers on fire. Soon the army was burned.
Not many people on the ship now. She thought with pleasure. Then she remembered. They were bringing parts to something called a Death Star. Maybe I can make sure they don't make the delivery. She set off through the halls looking around. Soon she found a room full of supplies. She set them on fire. There, now to get out of here.
She kept wandering around. She was sure there were people still on this ship aside from Vader, but none were near so she could go about as she pleased. She soon found a place full of mini ships. She thought she knew what they were TIE fighters. Right, well small ships are better than nothing. She hoped in.
Then she realized she'd never flown a ship before. Well, let's try this. Sky flipped a switch. There was a shot and a hole appeared in the wall. Well, that's not it. She flipped another lever. This time the targeting computer appeared in front of her head. She turned it off and pressed a button. The chair moved forward. She tried again. This time nothing happened at all. She sighed. Then she noticed a button closer the bottom that was bigger than the rest. She pressed it. This time is started up and went into the air. She grabbed at what was obviously the steering stick and steered out.
(First Sky eats storm troopers, then burns them. She can be a little disturbing. But hey she is a dragon.)
