I've decided to end this story with this chapter. I have to end it soon. Sorry. I have major writer's block but already have most of a sequel written up. Look for it soon.
That's it Jedi, walk into my trap.
The mysterious Sith warrior stood on the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer, Excalibur, watching his forces prepare for a full scale war with the New Republic and the Jedi.
Aarma and Jaina were at the ceremony honoring the new Jedi Knights. I wish I could be up there, he thought. Aarma's progress through his training was great but he didn't think that Jaina thought he was ready yet. As the last Jedi was called up to become a Knight, Aarma tensed. His danger sense flared to life. Although he wasn't a full Knight, his danger sense was the most sensitive in the Academy next to Master Skywalker's wife. Aarma looked around but couldn't find any danger. Your eyes can deceive you, don't trust them, Master Skywalker had said so often. He knew that others had sensed it when he felt Ashley and Jaina nudge him through the Force. Their suspicions were confirmed when a squad of the look outs ran into the chamber and took up defending positions.
A few minutes passed and the Jedi looked towards the lookouts. Aarma activated his lightsaber when the chamber doors burst open and over twenty Impeial troops rushed in, blasters firing at anything that moved. Aarma quickly looked around to see who would be helping him fight. All he saw were Roa, Ashley, and Jaina. Al'riti had disappeared somewhere. "Run! Get to shelter!" he yelled, and ran to help the allied forces helping to defend them. Ashley and Jaina helped those without weapons reach shelter, those of whom went were only trainees. The Knights and Masters stayed to help the effort. Despite all of the defenders' efforts, the lookouts were quickly cut down buy blaster fire. Aarma watched in horror that many Jedi were killed. He rushed forward into the enemy's lines and started to cut down many enemy troops. His anger was turning into a rage but he was just barely able to keep it under control.
When the battle was over, Aarma relaxed. He still looked at the numerous dead bodies in shock and horror. Who would attack the Academy? He didn't see Jaina anywhere so he went to the small medical placement on the battlefield. He immediately found Ashley who was bandaging up an injured Jedi with her own wounded arm. Aarma went over and helped her finish it. "You need to take a break. Let Master Clighal take over for now."
"I know, but they need all the help they can get."
"Okay. But just
tell me where Jaina is and promise me you'll take a five minute
break."
"Fine. Jaina's in that small tent over there." Ashley said and pointed to a tent that said "Critical" on it. Aarma nodded a "thank you" to Ashley and went to the tent to greet his Master and friend.
When he saw her, he wasn't as disgusted as he thought he would be. She had a broken leg, a few broken ribs, a blaster burn on her right shoulder, one on her left leg, a small skull fracture, and a broken arm and wrist.
"Hey" she said weakly. "I thought you had died." she said. "Takes more than just a few blaster bolts to take me down." he said jokingly. "You need anything?" he asked
"Yeah. Some freedom from this place."
"Never did like infirmaries, did you?"
"No. I just didn't like the Medical droids."
Just then, Master Skywalker walked in. "Hey Jaina. I just came by to tell you that we only lost about five of the fifteen Jedi that fought. That and the fact that your now a Master."
"Thanks, Uncle Luke."
"No problem. Now, Aarma, despite the fact that you rushed into a battle angry, the Council has decided to make you and your friends Ashley and Roa'tu into Jedi Knights."
End
Well, what do you think of the ending? Please share your opinions. Advice and bad reviews are welcome. Nothing better than a little criticism. All that I ask is that you be honest. Thanks.
