Imperial Shipyard, Nar Shaddaa.
Starkiller made his way through the next Corridor, Cutting down several Soldiers that he met. As another squad of Stormtroopers came in, The Sith Apprentice bolted into the next corridor and closed the door behind him with the force.
"Eclipse to Starkiller." Juno spoke through the Coms. "I'm picking a lot of com chatter on a few levels about you, You'r nearing General Kota."
"Good." Starkiller muttered. "I was getting tired of all this caranage."
And with that, he marched off as the StormTroopers bagned against the Door.
As Starkiller made his way to Kota, Kela and Krook finished rigging the last of the Charges.
"Okay, that's done!" Announced Kela, And she pulled out her Communication device as Krook fired upon the Stormtroopers who tried to stop them.
"Captain Stockmel." She called. "The last of the Charges are set."
"Good, Now hurry back to the ship." Ordered Stockmel. "We have to get out of here before it blows!"
On the other end, Stockmel and his forces hurried to their Shuttle, Stormtroopers pursuing them as they went, As they reached the Shuttle, They soon found it Under attack, The Squad stationed there was bravely defending it, Led by a Iridonian Female Lieutenant named Milra, Who was currently shooting up Troopers left and right until she caught sight of Captain Stockmel.
"Captain!" She called. "We could use some help here!"
"Already on it Lieutenant!" Shouted Stockmel, As he fired on a wayward Stormtrooper.
Meanwhile, Starkiller hurried up to the entrance of the next Elevator as he heard Juno again.
"This is it." She said, "Kota is just above you now."
"I'm ready." Starkiller said, As he stepped onto the Elevator, and it zoomed all the way up to his long desired destination.
Control Room.
General Kota watched as his forces began to pull back to the Shuttle. It was just as well. This was his fight, and he couldn't bear to have them caught in the crossfire any more than they were, Not even Young Kela.
His mind wandered into the force, as he sensed his predator coming, The sound of doors opening could be heard as Kota drew his lightsaber, switching it on as he looked up to the Inquisitor.
What he saw however, Was a Young man with a Shaved head, and dressed in Dirty Gray and Black clothes and Armor pieces.
Kota almost laughed. "A Boy?" He asked. "Months of attacking imperial targets and Vader sends a Boy to fight me?"
Starkiller ignited his lightsaber and leapt off the platform where he stood, then charged at Kota, The two clashed their Sabers together the Moment they came an inch close!
Meanwhile, Stormtroopers fired on the Rebels! Shooting wildly as the Generals Militia held their ground and slowly backed up to their ship!
"Hold your ground!" Ordered Stockmel, As he dispatched a Portable Turret. "Don't give them an inch!"
The Militia fired round after round of Plasma fire as they and the Stormtroopers fought for control of the Battlefield, An Imperial Officer popped his head up and called out to his men.
"GET THEM YOU FOOLS!" He barked. "DON'T LET THEM ESCAPE!"
The Stormtroopers continued with their Barrage, Heavies marched in and kept the Pressure up, A few snipers lined the Catwalk above and aimed down to fire, But Kela quickly took out her own Rifle and quickly dispatched each of them in Quick Succession.
"Nice shooting!" Said Kode.
"Thanks." Said Kela. "Comes with Natural Practice."
Suddenly though, One StormTrooper took a shot at the Rebels, And as Stockmel ordered everyone to "Draw Back!"
"UGH!"
The Battle Stopped.
Captain Stockmel starred in surprise in the sizzling Blaster hole in his chest, before collapsing.
"No!" Shouted Milra.
The Stormtrooper who took the shot just stared, then looked at his gun. "Wow… I actually hit something… YOU SEE THIS PEOPLE?! I ACTUALLY SHOT SOMEONE!"
The Stormtroopers cheered and wowed, Celebrating the accomplishment… Until Kela shot the Trooper dead.
Milra and Bonozo scrambled over to Stockmels Collapsed form, Milra knelt down and held the Captain in her arms.
"Captain… You'll be okay!" She said desperately.
"No… (Cough, Cough.)" Stockmel said weekly. "It's too late for that… just get out of here."
He held a small trigger in his hand. "Get to the ship…"
"What about General Kota?" Asked Bonozo.
"He knows what he's doing…" Stockmel breathed. "Trust in the force… For the Republic!"
And with his final dying burst of energy, Captain Stockmel, pressed the trigger.
Meanwhile, Kota and Starkiller continued to duke it out, Trading blow for blow with their blades, as Starkiller was about to break his guard, the sounds of Several explosions going off caught him off guard, allowing Kota enough time to knock him back with a force push.
Starkiller was sent Skidding back, But launched himself again at the General, Who jumped to the side to avoid his stabbing blade, then brought down his own Blade to strike!
Starkiller blocked this and the duel continued its deadly dance.
As they fought, the lower levels where the bombs were all blew up, reaching the Hanger, where the Rebels all got in their shuttle and made a beeline for the Main ship!
"This is Lieutenant Milra to all Republic fighters. Called Mirla. "Pull back to the True liberation, , Our work is done!"
"Copy that, Heading back now." Responded one of the Pilots.
"Tell Admiral Zurq I will meet him on the Bridge." Added Milra. "General Kota may need help."
And she headed back to the hull.
As all of this played out, Starkiller had managed to bring Kota to a draw, Both duelists breathing heavily.
"You're stronger than you look Inquisitor." Said Kota. "But I can't let you live." He holstered his Lightsaber and began to Channel the Force around him. "I'll be sure to send your ashes back to Vader!"
As he spoke, The whole Commander center shook violently, Until it broke free from the already ruined Station and Plummeted to Earth.
"What are you doing?!" Starkiller asked.
"If I have to bring this whole Facility down to end you! THAN SO BE IT!" Kota roared as he whipped out his lightsaber and slashed at Starkiller, Who swiftly dodged out of the way and brought up his blade again to jab at Kota.
The General swept the blow away with his blade, and began his offensive against the Sith Apprentice once more.
And once more the Duelists pushed away from each other, This time, instead of charging into each other again however, Starkiller reached out to Kota's neck with the force and grabbed it, Than hurled a vent casing at him, sending him smack dab against the Platform, Keeping his grip, Starkiller slammed Kota against the Floor and than flung him onto the ceiling, Holding him there as he jumped up, Grabbed Kota, slammed him against the ceiling again, Before grabbing onto a cable and slamming again, before blasting him back to the floor below, The Glass cracked beneath as he fell, followed by Stakiller coming at him again with his blade, Kota rolled out of the way, Just in time as the Sith Apprentice hit the floor, causing the glass to break, and a hole sucking everything into space to appear, Starkiller quickly maneuvered away to avoid being sucked out, Only for Kota to come at him again, His green lightsaber slamming against Starkiller as he pushed him closer and closer to the edge.
"Vader thinks he's turned you…" He sneered as he pressed harder. "But I can see your future!"
Starkiller struggled to keep his footing.
"And Vader will not always be your master!" Kota declared, as they got closer and closer to the edge. "I sense only…" But before he could press on, A look of shock suddenly spread across Kota's face. "Me?"
Using this distraction to his advantage, Starkiller quickly pushed Kota back, jumped past him and then pushed him into the hole with the force, Kota screamed as he was sucked out and fell to the Planet below.
Starkiller stared down the hole, before noticing the fallen General's lightsaber, which had been knocked out of his hand when he fell, He force pulled it into his hand and called Juno.
"Juno, We're done here." He said. "Come pick me up, Quick!"
"Almost there!" Juno responded, then the Rogue Shadow appeared underneath the falling Command center and Stakiller jumped onto it, as it zoomed away from the planet's surface.
Lieutenant, Now Captain June Milra stood at the bridge, as a Human Old male came up next to her, It was Admiral Alfred Zurg.
"We've heard no word from General Kota." He informed. "The Command Center dropped from Orbit after the Bombings, We must assume he was on it."
"Get a shuttle and team prepared." Said Milra. "I'm going back to see If we can find the General."
"What if Imperial reinforcements come before you get back?" Asked the Admiral.
"Then get out of here." Said Milra. "If we find the General, We'll contact you, then meet us in the Telos System."
"Good luck, Captain." Nodded Zurq, As Milra left the main deck, he then turned to an Ensign to make the Arrangements, The Force was going to be very needed with them all after all this.
