Chapter 14

Breaking Point

Serenity slid down in her seat, trying to keep out of view as the group of six were at a table not far from them. The three guys were a part of a gang known as the greenheads, which are well known along Coruscant for swindling people, gang fights, and other sorts of things. They began to create a scene as their comments were rude and inappropriate, especially how there's children around. Kelly looked over to Serenity, seeing that she's hiding from them.

"Shizuka, is something wrong?" Kelly asked.

"Yes…three of the people over there…well…I have a bad history with them."

"You mean…"

"Yes, they always try to find something to get me worked up over, especially with Lisa's death."

Al kept looking to them when he saw a young girl sitting at a table, watching the group of loudmouths as she could hear what they were saying as one of the guys had a breadstick in his hand, pointing it at one of the girls with them. The blonde girl smirked as if she swindled someone out of their money. She sat there with two other girls as they watched.

"With this breadstick, I will give it to you like how I would give it to you."

"Please do so," one of the girls said as she opened her mouth wide.

Al sat there, looking disgusted about what they're about to do as he noticed the young girl. He unlocked his gun holster and took his gunblade out, loaded a clip into it, and aimed the gun at them.

"Al, what're you doing?" Kelly asked.

"Don't worry. No one's going to get hurt."

With that, he pulled the trigger, letting the bullet fly true to his target. Lucky for Al, the projectory shows that there's no one else in the way, just as long as no one walks into it or anything of the sort. The breadstick's lower half was blown away as soon as they heard the blast from the gun. They looked over to the corner table to see Al sitting there with his gunblade out as the smoke exhumed from the barrel of his gun.

"Well well, if it isn't a Jedi," one of the guys said.

They all got up and walked over to confront Al. As they were walking over, Al got out of his seat and stood there with a furious look in his eyes. The three other guys were wearing black pants with green vests that were either too big for them or too small with white shirts on and a green bandana around their head. Al stood there with his gun down by his side as he waited for them. However, one of the girls noticed someone trying to slide down in the corner to hide out of site.

"Wait, you're, like, that nerdy girl, aren't you?"

Serenity sat up, knowing that it's now useless to hide as she was noticed. She got out and stood up, ready to confront them again.

"Look, I have no business with you three," Serenity said.

"We, like, have a score to settle," Maya said.

"I already beat you three in a fight a while back, and I don't want to get involved in another one."

"Oh, but you do, plus you, like, now have to do that with our three strong men," Wendy said.

Serenity stood there, waiting for them to make the first move. Kim came through as she had a pair of brass knuckles. Serenity stood there, not intimidated by them.

"You, like, think that you're still tough, huh?" Kim said.

"You don't know how much I've improved you fat whore."

"Wh…WHAT DID YOU SAY?"

A droid wheeled up to the group as it was ordered to calm the fighting down. It had a platter with a pitcher of water balanced in its hand as it had to serve some water to another table.

"I advise you all to return to your seats."

Maya noticed the droid and commanded it to come over closer. As it did, Maya tipped the platter over and let the pitcher fall on top of Serenity. As the water began to fall to her, Serenity put her arms up to cover herself in response. However, it didn't help as the water dumped on her head. The water soaked her hair and the nice pink shirt that she's borrowing from Kelly. The three girls with the three guys blew out in laughter from the cruel joke as Serenity stood there, furious about what they're doing. Kelly got out of her seat, wanting to help, but Serenity gave Kelly a sharp gaze. Kelly knew right away that Serenity didn't want help, and backed off. Serenity stood there, not caring as to what they did to her.

"You know, you're, like, lucky that it wasn't wine," Wendy said mockingly.

"Is that a problem?" Serenity asked.

"Like, I don't have to say anything."

With that, Wendy whipped her hand out at Serenity and gave her a hard slap. Serenity staggered a bit, trying to keep herself upright. As she regained herself, she whipped back around and threw a hard right hand at Wendy. Wendy flew back a couple of feet and was lying on the ground unconscious from the punch. Kim looked over to Serenity and began to point a shaky finger at her.

"You…"

"I told you," Serenity said.

One of the greenheads charged in as he wound up for a punch. As he threw the punch at Serenity, she ducked underneath it and sprang back up with a back flip. Her legs managed to hit the greenhead as he staggered back a bit from the kick and looked over to see that Serenity's standing on the table in a fighter's stance. Serenity waited for any of them to come at her. When they did, she would just simply jump over them. Kim began to run towards her, trying to tackle Serenity down. Serenity jumped off of the table and over Kim in a forward flip. She landed behind Kim as Kim's behind her. Serenity then turned around to see a small hand blaster pointed at her point blank in the face. Maya stood there, ready to pull the trigger.

"I bet you can't dodge this," Maya said.

Al was about to pull his gunblade out, but he felt something against his head as one of the greenheads had a gun pointed at his head point blank. Serenity stood there, hesitant at what to do. If she tries to take the gun away, then Maya could pull the trigger and end up killing her, or else someone else if the bullet misses. If she waits for something, then death is for sure.

"Look, put the gun down and no one will get hurt," Serenity said.

"For what; so that you can take it and, like, shoot me?"

"I wouldn't dare shoot you if I had the chance to."

"Since that's the case, then I guess you can, like, die so that you can be with your useless friend."

Serenity's mind began to replay all of the events from the day that Lisa died to the day that she sacrificed herself for good. Her heart began to ache as she remembered everything from the first time they met to the last time they could be together. Serenity's eyes formed tears as she couldn't hold them back from the pain of her death. She lowered her head as that pain began to come back to her in her heart.

"You would dare talk like that about Lisa?"

"Why shouldn't I?" Maya asked. "I, like, have the right to voice my opinion."

"…But you don't have the right to talk about Lisa like that. Not after what she sacrificed!"

"And, like, what's it for?"

Maya looked into Serenity's eyes, seeing the cold glare that gave her a chill down her spine. Maya was about to pull the trigger; however, Serenity already had the blaster removed from Maya's hand as she shoved Maya over. Maya lie on the ground face down while Serenity's knee sat on her back, holding her down from moving. She took her 9mm multi-functioned blaster out, pointing it at Maya's head point blank. Serenity's eyes are streaming with tears as the pain of Lisa's death kept returning to her, causing her to have her feelings cloud her judgment.

"But…but…please," Maya begged. "I…I didn't mean to-"

"Just shut up!" Serenity yelled. "You don't know what it's like to lose someone close to you! In fact, you don't know what it's like to be on the edge of death!"

Everyone stood there, staring at Serenity as she had Maya pinned to the ground like a helpless animal being tortured. Serenity's hands trembled with the pain of Lisa's passing, leaving the gun to rattle as a number of security droids came in. Kelly noticed something in Serenity's mind, feeling the urge to pull the trigger. Kelly took her lightsaber off of the hook and activated it.

"Shizuka, stop this now!"

Kelly made one flick of her wrist after learning how to switch the modes on her Dual-Phase lightsaber with one hand. As she did, the blade extended to twice its length and stabbed through Serenity's blaster, cutting it off just half an inch from the grip. Serenity snapped out of her trance, realizing what she's done as the energy from the blaster began to seep out of the opening created by the lightsaber. Kelly deactivated her lightsaber and twisted the bottom half of her lightsaber to return it to its original position.

"Shizuka, what the hell were you thinking?" Kelly yelled.

Serenity only stared at a trembling Maya as tears streamed from her eyes from Serenity's state. The unexpected event left Serenity questioning herself if she's even worthy of being called a Jedi.

"Why couldn't I keep control of my emotions? Why did this have to happen?"

Serenity got up and ran out the door to get away from the scene. A number of security droids tried to stop her, but Serenity merely jumped over them, running away while the security droids took chase. Kelly was about to leave, but security officers blocked the exit as he's ordered to not let anyone out. Yami could only stand there, sensing the pain from Serenity.

"I know it's hard for you to have that void in your heart, and I understand how hard it is to fill that spot."
