Fathers and Sons

"Not afraid of me?" Gallowmere laughed. "That's a rich one." He also drew his sabre.
Alex drew his sabre and twirled it over his head. Then he tossed it between his hands and struck a pose, with the point of the sword near Gallowmere's throat.
"All you have is the power to instill fear in people." Alex started.
"Shut up, boy."
"And you're not even good at it."
"I said shut up."
"And what's worse, is that you're pathetic. You've turned from a ruler of a once proud planet to an abusive overlord." Alex slashed the sword through the air.
"If you don't shut up, I'll kill you right now."
"Not if I kill you first."
Alex lunged at his father. However, what he didn't realize was that Gallowmere was able to stay five moves ahead of Alex. Gallowmere dominated very early, taking his saber and cutting at Alex's weak points. One time, Alex did an impressive thrust, but he forgot to cover part of his arm. The next thing he knew, his arm was covered in blood. While Alex knelt down *and wrapped Yoda's robes around the wound like a bandage, Gallowmere was able to sl/ash Alex's leg.
"Look at yourself." Gallowmere sneered. "Still relying on Yoda to save you."
"I rely only on myself." Alex spat. He jumped up and was able to cut Gallowmere clear across the chest. Then he took the offensive. Gallowmere's being hit caused him to lose focus with the force, giving Alex the upper hand.
Alex dug his lightsaber into Gallowmere's side. The older man screamed in pain.
Alex immediately stopped.
"Just like I said." Gallowmere stated, "You're weak. You had the chance to kill me, but you didn't."
"I believe in fighting fair. It's what you used to believe in."
"Don't tell me my beliefs. You insolent boy."
"Two things, one, I'm not a boy." Alex walked up to Gallowmere and stared him down. "And two, I'm better than you'll ever be."
Gallowmere hauled off and slapped Alex clear across the face. The blow was hard enough that Alex was knocked onto the spot where Yoda died. The double edged light saber fell from his hand and shattered in two.
"Without weapons?" Gallowmere chuckled. "All the better to kill you with."
Gallowmere approached, drawing on his light saber to make a dramatic stance. He stood over Alex, ready to strike when Alex quickly pulled out Yoda's lightsaber. He held it up just as Gallowmere slashed down.
The light sabers clashed and fell to separate sides of the room. Gallowmere concentrated the force to retreive the light saber. He would have succeeded, but Alex lept on Gallowmere's shoulders and beat his head onto the solid ground. When he was sure that Gallowmere wasn't moving, he took the light saber and stood over the Sith Lord's body, prepared to strike
"Go ahead. Cut me down." Gallowmere challenged him, with slurred words. "It'll prove that you are like me, and not like Leia."
"I will never be like you." Alex said, slowly as he swung the light saber like a golf club, cutting off Gallowmere's head.
Then he got down on one knee and bowed his head.
Lissanna was the first to run into the room. Overcome with the sight of Alex kneeling, she ran over to him and hugged him.
"You're okay." She shouted joyfully.
"Yes." He returned the warm embrace.
"OOO, we must go on." Jar Jar said, running into the room and breaking up the two.
Leia followed Jar Jar at a slow pace.
"Where's everybody else?" Alex asked.
Leia was soft-spoken in reply. "I sent R2D2 and C3PO to go with Chewie to get the Millenium Falcon."
"Oh." Alex started to realize.
"Han and Padme are dead." Lissanna whispered.
Alex stood up to hug his Great Grandmother. She pushed him away gently.
"No feelings, we still have work to do." She said.
"How are we going to find Luke?" Lissanna asked.
"He's on the bridge. Follow me." Leia stated, leading the group to the bridge.
Luke was beside himself in anger. He didn't know what to do, so he stood there at the center of the bridge of his ship. He stood facing the door...waiting for the four to enter. Just standing and waiting.
