Chapter 5: Trapped in a dream
Abbey wouldn't wake up.
Abbey couldn't wake up.
Luke came in to see what was the problem. Try as he might, she just wouldn't wake up.
"I sense a disturbance in the force..." Luke said slowly.
"So do I..." Kyle said in the same tone as Luke. They seemed to read each other's minds. They quickly went upstairs to who-knows-where.
Abbey was having a terrible nightmare.
She was back on the Third Death Star in a prison cell. She had her lightsaber with her, and had a very bad feeling about this. She broke the lock with it, and of course the door opened. The two Stormtroopers on guard jumped out and attacked. She easily deflected the Blaster Rifle shots and it they hit them. They fell to the ground, dead as a doornail. She headed to Darth Maul's room. She ran into a big squad of Troopers.
"Stop her!" The commander said. with many deflected blaster shots, Abbey struck in a flash of blue light. Everyone lay dead, and blood was everywhere. She moved onward.
She was changing course to the hangar. She could escape, get back to Tatooine, and she would probably wake up. Yet it seemed so real....
On her way she met a single Stormtrooper, but before she could kill him, he called for backup. She quickly slashed him in half, top to bottom. Both halves of him fell to the ground as body organs flew everywhere. Abbey moved on, meeting the backup crew. Using the trick Chris had taught her, she concentrated hard on the lightsaber. With the saber in the air, it started spinning faster and faster until it reached a velocity of 120 RPM. It cut through the squad, blood staining the walls. She caught the lightsaber, and progressed on.
She had finally gotten to the hangar, killing many Stormtroopers on the way. However, she came face-to-face with Darth Maul.
"You betrayed the Imperial Forces, and you will now feel the vengeance of the Dark Side!" Darth Maul growled, turning on his double-edged lightsaber. The blood red color surprised Abbey, but the battle was on.
Abbey struck and struck at the evil villain, but every time he blocked it. Abbey got a good shot on the arm, however it splurted black blood in her face. Darth Maul immediately got her back, cutting her leg. She fell onto her back, her lightsaber out of reach. Darth Maul stood over her.
"Traitors and deserters are killed in the Imperial Death Star," Darth Maul said, pointing the lightsaber at her throat. Abbey gulped. She slowly used the force to bring her lightsaber back to her....
Kyle shut the door. Absolute silence was perfect, and just what they needed. The two were ready to use Battle Meditation. It might just work to get Abbey out of the dream and to wake up....
Kyle sat on the floor with Luke and used the Battle Meditation on Abbey.
Abbey couldn't take it. She was going to die...she just had to think of something to prevent this.
A door burst open. Kyle and Master Skywalker had come to save her. The two Jedi Masters turned their lightsabers on. Darth Maul walked toward them instead.
"You!" Luke said. "Your grandfather killed my Father's Master's Master!"
Darth Maul took a while to do the math, then said, "Yeah, so, I'm going to kill you here and now!"
It was a very quick paced battle. Many flashes of light could be seen. So many, in fact, that Abbey could not at all see what was happening. She retrieved her lightsaber by the force, then shouted to Kyle.
Kyle jumped out of the fray, then Abbey tossed her lightsaber to him. Kyle waved appreciatively, them jumped back in. There was a flash of lightning and the fighting stopped. Luke snapped his fingers.
"We have to get you out of this dream," said Kyle.
"I think we can wake up now, everything in this room is losing detail and texture," Luke said.
Indeed it was. In a few minutes she had woken up.
So had Luke and Kyle.
