"Daddy, I'm scared!" Yamna cried.
Darth Posh scowled at her. "I should have known. But it matters not. Go and attack them!"
Cryos grabbed Yamna as Zeethra, Kentra and Pahrac all came after him.
Cryos threw Yamna on his back and she grabbed on. Then he turned to face his friends.
They all attacked as one as he tried to block them all at once. But it was useless as the three of them worked together like they had one mind. Cryos took one savage blow after another, but he couldn't attack them back. It was his family.
Suddenly Zeethra and Kentra grabbed his arms and Pahrac slithered around his legs. Cryos struggled, but it was useless. He was pinned.
"Now we can end this little game." Darth Posh cackled. "And to make sure this time, I think I'll get a little of your energy."
"Touch me and I'll burn you out so badly that your shriveled mummy body will look good." It wasn't a threat, it was a promise. Cryos would pour every last bit of his life-force into it.
"Oh, I know that. That's why I will take the power through an intermediary. Stiney, come here."
Cryos watched the tiny alien bow at the Sith Lord's feet. Suddenly, he understood. "Stiney was working for you all along, just waiting to absorb some of my strength."
"Exactly, Cryos. Took you awhile but you got it. Now for Stiney's reward…" He put his hand on the alien's back. Stiney barely flinched as his life-force was sucked away.
A few moments later, his body disintegrated into dust.
"NOOOOOOO!!!" Draco and Draca both howled. They squirmed from Cryos's grip and flew at Darth Posh, clearly intending to attack.
The Sith fired a single beam at them, Cryos saw them both vanish into the light, and they were gone.
They would be back, they always came back. Eventually.
But for now Cryos had lost his only defense against mind control.
"Now Cryos," Darth Posh laughed in victory "say goodbye to your mind!"
Cryos closed his eyes and waited for the end.
But it never came.
He opened his eyes and saw a sparkling blue shield surrounding his head and torso.
"What!?" Darth Posh howled. "But how?"
Cryos suddenly realized the answer. He looked over his shoulder and saw Yamna concentrating and muttering to herself. "He's not going to get Daddy. He's not going to get Daddy…"
"Yamna," he whispered. "can you make the shield bigger?"
She looked up. "I don't know, I'll try…" She closed her eyes again and the bubble expanded over Pahrac, Kentra and Zeethra as well. "That's all I can do.
"It's perfect." Cryos assured her.
Cryos looked at his friends as they suddenly came to their senses and let him go.
"What do you think you are doing?!" The Sith demanded. Suddenly, he looked very afraid. "Mewtwo, attack them."
I think not. Came the psychic reply. I believe I have figured out how you controlled me, and am now working to undo it.
Darth Posh screamed and lunged at the cat-like alien. But he simply vanished and reappeared by Cryos and the others.
No no NO!" He screamed. "This is all wrong, not how I foresaw it at all!" Suddenly his eyes narrowed. "The girl! She was not in my visions. Why is this different from before?!"
I may be able to answer that, but you won't like the answer. Mewtwo offered.
"What is it? How does this girl torment my plans?"
Simple: She is more powerful than you ever will be. It's the only logical explanation. She must have removed herself from your visions.
"That's not possible." The Sith growled. "My visions came to me many years ago, before she was even born."
Mewtwo smiled. Then she must be VERY powerful, no?
"NO!" Darth Posh screamed. "If I can't absorb your life-force from you whole I'll get it from the pieces! ATTACK THEM!!!"
From the darkness all around them came the most horrible, bestial screams they had ever heard.
Cryos, Zeethra, Kentra, Pahrac and Mewtwo fell back into a defensive circle around Yamna.
The girl, to her credit, kept the bubble in place. It was big enough for them to stay inside, but it was still basically a cage when it came to a real fight. "Mewtwo," Cryos whispered. "Can you protect us like you did for yourself?"
Doubtful, he said in a private voice Darth Posh couldn't hear. I only escaped myself because he was distracted with you. I'm still far from coming up with a way to counter it when he's concentrating.
"Wonderful…" Cryos muttered.
Right then, the first creature attacked. It stood almost ten feet tall and had long blades coming from every joint on its body. It looked like some kind of dinosaur on steroids. It roared and Pahrac spit acid at it. The monster hissed even louder than the acid and then slumped to the floor, its chest gone.
As if that was the signal, dozens of the things came leaping out of the darkness.
Cryos blasted at some of them, but others got through.
Working together, the five fighters were able to kill all the creatures as they attacked, but more of them kept coming. After a minute, they were in danger of being buried under their dead bodies.
In an effort to see how many of the creatures were left, Cryos launched an energy bomb into the air. It exploded in a bright flash of light and illuminated thousands, maybe millions of the monsters all around them. They could fight all day long, but the things were going to keep on coming.
Mewtwo started using his power of levitation to fling the dead creatures at the living ones. His power didn't work on the living ones, but once they were dead whatever protection they had vanished.
The fight dragged on endlessly. Even long minutes later, Darth Posh was still laughing. "It is useless!" He cried. "Look at your friends! You may be protected by your immortality, but look at your lovely wife!"
Cryos spared a glance over at her and gasped. A nasty gash on her forehead had covered her face with her pale greenish blood. More cuts covered her arms and sides, yet she fought on. Cryos moved a bit closer to protect her. He'd taken a few cuts in the fight too, but his wounds had all healed over before bleeding.
Suddenly a wave of power knocked him off his feet. He looked over at Darth Posh thinking the Sith was doing something, but he looked confused too. The monsters had all stopped moving, instead they had their faces covered from a strange greenish light that was shining out from the center of the fighters.
Cryos looked and had to cover his eyes. Yamna had gone Super-Sayian! She was floating a foot off the ground and glowing more brightly than Cryos had ever seen anyone do before.
Her eyes were closed as she slowly rotated towards where Darth Posh stood, a look of fear on his face.
Yamna's eyes shot open and the force field bubble exploded outward. As it passed over the beasts they evaporated, vanishing into the pure light.
Next it hit Darth Posh, Cryos hoped against hope that it would destroy him as well, but at the last moment he raised his arms and created a force field of his own. The light expanded outward until it lit up the entire room. Cryos could now see that it extended for many miles in every direction.
Yamna started to drift slowly toward the Sith Lord.
"Incredible…" Kentra murmured.
"I know, I was twice her age before I went Super-Sayian." Cryos said.
"You can't feel it, can you?" She asked him.
"Feel what?" He asked.
I believe I am starting to see it as well. Said Mewtwo. She is not merely a Super-Sayian.
"Then what is she?" Cryos wondered out loud.
"A Super-Jedi…"
