(Forest)

(Keisa's View)

(30 Minutes Later)

He's back. Ajax. He's back for vengeance, back to settle the score after the Resistance, who he thinks is an ally of mine (which they aren't), drove him off of Yavin 4. And this time, he's not holding back. He's not holding in the anger that he grew towards me anymore. And how do I know this?

He shattered RJ, my only true companion into millions of pieces on the wall of my cave hideout before smashing his memory and personality chip in front of me. This threw me into a wild frenzy, causing me to tackle him, throwing both of us off the ledge that my cave hideout sits before I began slugging him in both cheeks, fracturing his jaw while blood spewed out of his mouth. Somehow after that, he escaped my clutches before fleeing into the forest. I soon found him, and that's where I stand now, our lightsabers unsheathed, ready for a duel to the death.

Ajax, as he stands in his black robe, a single red lightsaber by his side, grins on the side of his intact jaw. He, to my surprise, speaks to me, seemingly not hurt by his fractured jaw. "So, this is it. The final duel." He snarls. I crack a grin. "You mean for you right? Your final duel. You have no confidence in yourself. But enough talk, enough games Ajax! If you want to beat me, shut your galaxy damn mouth and fight!" I shout, using the Force to increase my speed as I charge straights towards him. He grins even bigger, Force Pushing me onto a tree while I charged to him. The blast sends me onto a tree, cracking the trunk. As the trunk falls behind me, I flip onto it before chucking my lightsaber towards a stationary Ajax. He prepares to block the lightsaber (which surprised me; I thought he'd summon it into his hand, which then, as he prepares to us it, purposely cause it to temporarily malfunction so that he'd drop it and when it began to work again, summon it and hopefully cut him.) but right when I land onto my feet, I stop the lightsaber in midair before fighting with the lightsaber with only the Force. He, as I swing down, kicks the hilt of my lightsaber upwards, sending it sky high. He then, with the Force's assistance, dashes to me at record speed. I, with my one lightsaber, block his full attack, but not without being flown across the forest floor, fallen branches and prickly plants shredding the back and side of my cloak. As I stand up, Ajax slugs me in the chest, the sheer force making me drop my lightsaber. I fall to the ground, vigorously coughing, some of it coughing blood up. Ajax grins. "You seriously think you could beat me? It's a blunder that I have to bring the thunder. You're nothing but a weak fool." He says, turning his lightsaber to pierce my chest. I grin and open the palm of my hand, sending Force Lightning, something he must of forgot I possessed it when we "hanged out" together. He howls in pain as the lighting electrocutes him, the sheer pain causing him to drop his lightsaber. I flip to my feet before kicking him down. I summon my lightsaber, swing down as he summons his lightsaber. As my foot digs into his chest as I lean down, the pressure of my lightsaber increasing on his, I feel the end of his boot on my leg.

SHING

An unbearable sharp pain rips through my ankle. I scream in pain, slamming on my back to see Ajax's black boot with a tiny, sharp bloody blade sticking through the end. I wince in pain as he walks towards me once more. He extends his palm to counteract my Force Lightning before putting the end of the blade right to my neck. "It's over." He snarls as I painfully look at the blade, seeing my blood ooze off of it. Sweat begins to drip off my head. Was I afraid? Galaxy no (okay, maybe I was a little afraid). Was I exhausted? Yes. Very exhausted. All the injuries I suffer from is throwing off my groove. With a sigh, I clench my jaw, grab his boot before sending my Force Lightning through the blade and into his body. He howls in pain before slipping on me, the blade grazing my chin. I wince in pain and try to scramble onto my feet, but my ankle injury caused me to not stand up in time as Ajax side kics me, sending me rolling onto the ground, my chest face up. He points his lightsaber to my neck, his feet too far away for any Force Lightning to hit in time. "Keisa…You had good tricks up your sleeve, I'd admit that, but it's over. You know that." He says as a huge gust of wind blows around us. We look to our right to see a ship descending towards the forest trees. Ajax scoffs and turns his head to me. "Your Resistance friends are here, so…you ready to die?"

"…I am."

"And why's that?"

"There are things more frightening then death." I whisper, turning my head towards the rustling bushes before turning my head back to Ajax. "Go ahead. Do it."

Ajax grins, slashing his lightsaber across my chest from the right to the left before spinning his lightsaber to pierce me. And then…

He does.

That's when all the pain, all the light ceases to exist.
