"No!" Sasha yelled out when she saw her Padawan get a lightsaber thrust into her chest.
Taol looked up at her and James with an evil glint in his eyes, "See ya later, Jedi." He said with a smirk.
James started to storm over to Taol, but the Dark Jedi used the force to throw Reese's body at him before taking off through a door.
James caught Reese in his arms and lifted her up. He could feel her life force slowly fading. They needed to get her back to the ship, right now!
"Come on, Sasha." He said, looking over his shoulder at the door that Taol went through.
Sasha nodded and then they started to make their way to the Hanger Bay, through the curves and corridors of the Star Forge.
"We have to hurry. If all went to plan, Revana has killed Malak and the Star Forge will soon blow up." James told Sasha.
"Her name's now Tali." Sasha corrected James as she checked on Reese, who was unconscious, "Wait! Did you say blow up?" she asked him, fully knowing the answer. What is it with people and their 'Lets blow everything up!' plans? She wondered to herself.
They got to the doors to the Hanger that the Ebon Hawk was in and entered the ship. They saw Tali and Bastila at the ramp of the ship. The two former-sith/Jedi looked over at James and Sasha and Tali made a motion for then to hurry up.
"What happened?" Tali gasped when she saw Reese in James's arms.
"Nevermind that! We got to get her in the Med-Bay!" James said, pushing past them and onto the ship.
They entered to command centre where Tali yelled to Carth, who was in the cock-pit, "Carth! Get us outa here!"
The ship started to vibrate as James laid Reese down on the bed in the Med-Bay. He looked back at the others who were watching and he stepped out of the way. He could feel the ship take off and out of the Star Forge just as there was an explosion coming out of the Forge.
Just then, Reese's eyes flickered and then opened them.
I let out a groan as I opened my eyes. I saw my friends standing around me, looking very upset. Tali, Bastilia, Mish, Sasha and James. I looked at each one of their faces.
"Jeeze, anyone would think that the universe is destroyed by looking at you guys." I gave a gentle laughed, wincing as pain vibrated through me.
"Reese…" Tali said, her voice was sad, "You… you're dying." She told me, "And what's odd is that you should already be dead."
"How nice." I muttered dryly.
Just then, Carth, Canderous, Jolee, Juhani, HK, T3 and Big Z appeared in the doorway looking at me, "Hey guys." I greeted, getting sick of the sad looks, "Congrats on saving the galaxy, by the way."
"Hey kid." Carth greeted me, "It's good to see you."
"Likewise. I missed you all. I haven't seen someone I could annoy in sooo long." I said with a smile, "Well, not someone who wouldn't dismember me."
"That's a nice thought," Canderous, said dryly.
I gave a cough and started to feel lightheaded. Is this what it's like to die normally? I can't say I want to find out, anyway.
"Reese…" Bastilia started, "How did you know?" she asked me, "About Revan, I mean?"
I sighed, how'd I know Bastilia would try and ask me that, "How about this, Basty." I started, "If I ever see you again, I'll tell you." I promised.
Everyone looked at me, confused. I couldn't blame them, I was dying. Or at least, that's what it looked like to them. I was actually going to go home.
I laid back and shut my eyes, "By guys." I said to them, "See you again some day."
Then in all sense of things in that world, I died.
But it ain't that simple
My body was on the Med-Bay bed for only a fraction of a second after I 'died.' The others only had a second to look at it before it disappeared in a flash of bright white light, leaving everyone else in surprise and confusion.
I blinked multiple times before putting my hand over my stomach. I felt sick in there. What happened?
I looked around my room, searching for a sign of what happened… wait a second! My room! I was in my room! I wasn't dead. Boy, am I glad that I was right in my suspicion.
I was home. I was home!
I looked over at the clock on my wall, and grinned to myself. The clock said it was 4:12, 26/06/11. I was only gone for two minutes! That means I wasn't gone for over half a year!
I frowned. Did I ever leave at all? Was it all just some kind of dream or something? It couldn't have been though. It was daytime.
I looked down at my clothes and saw that they were what I was wearing before I left, my black and red shirt and black pants.
On my bed was my laptop, KotOR 1 was open. Next to it was my pink book bag with the stuff sprawled out of it. I saw my lightsaber just sitting on my bed.
I then had an idea, to find out if it was a dream or real. I shut my eyes and held my hand out. I concentrated to bring my lightsaber to my hand.
I concentrated over and over again, playing the picture of it coming to my hand over and over in my head. I felt something hit my hand and I opened my eyes to see the lightsaber in my hand.
It felt different though, the lightsaber and the force, the lightsaber was back to its toy status, and the force felt weak.
But I smiled to myself, glad with the answer I had gotten. It was defiantly not a dream.
