Chapter 5
Luke looked through his window to see Kyle flying away to Cornine. He was in his room. Luke looked around. Kyle didn't know what he was talking about. Lately, Luke sensed much anger and jealousy in Kyle. I know something's wrong about all of this. I wonder how they're doing right now.
Kyle and his men were nearly to Cornine. They landed the ship. Kyle and his men filed out. He looked around.
"This way," Kyle said waving his hand. They walked through the clouds of gases. There were so many gases, Kyle could barely see. But all the sudden, through the mist, Kyle saw a red light saber ignite. Kyle withdrew his. The light saber attacked. Kyle caught a glimpse of what looked to be a very young man. Not to well trained in the Jedi arts because he was fighting very sloppily. This was a breeze for Kyle. But he wanted to take him out with style. Kyle spun around attacking this man. The man backed up nearly falling to the ground. Kyle jumped up bringing his light saber down to hear a loud scream. He saw he cut the man's arm off. Kyle spun around in a low stance, and sliced clean through the man's feet. The man screamed, and fell to the ground. Kyle started to hear many other scream from his own men. Commander Sot ran up to Kyle.
"There are too many of them," he said. Kyle saw many men attacking his own men. Kyle jumped up igniting his light saber in the air to land next to one of his men. A black creature with little tiny wings jumped at Kyle. Kyle swiftly spun around cutting off the creature's wings. The creature fell back. Kyle flipped over it cutting its head off in midair. Another one of the creature's jumped onto the man next to Kyle breaking his helmet. The man fell to his knees loosing air. Kyle jumped forward cutting this next little creature in half. He all the sudden saw hundreds of more creatures attacking Kyle's men along with troopers in black suits. Kyle realized Luke was right. This was a trap. That made Kyle so angry. Kyle spun around the battlefield cutting many creatures and men apart. Kyle turned off his light saber putting the hilt on his belt. He took out a blaster pistol. A creature lunged at his face. Kyle shot it rolling on his back on the ground. Kyle jumped to a very high log to see many shots erupting through the battlefield. Kyle jumped down landing on top of a creature.
Luke paced through his room sitting down once and a while to meditate. He sensed great pain on Cornine. All the sudden, the siren started to go off. Luke grabbed his light saber, and ran into the hallways to find it being invaded with troopers. Luke ignited his light saber cutting up many of the troopers in very swift movements. Luke ran through the hallways cutting troopers everywhere. Many of the troopers were in battle with a man or woman with the Republic. Luke whirled his way to the jail cells holding all the Dark Jedi's. The doors opened to reveal as he expected. Many of the troopers were letting them out or handing them a light saber so they could cut through the bars of their jail cell. Luke blocked a blow from no where from one Dark Jedi. Luke spun around slicing the Dark Jedi's legs off. All the sudden, Luke saw Slain tossing a light saber to another Dark Jedi. Luke caught it intercepting its path, and igniting the blood red light saber. Luke spun around bringing one his light saber into the Dark Jedi's chest while cutting his arm off with the other one. Luke turned to Slain.
Kyle jumped up flipping over a trooper, and shooting him in the head. All the sudden, a trooper tackled Kyle from behind. Kyle kicked him off. He jumped up punching the trooper. The trooper grabbed Kyle's light saber, and ignited it. He swung it clumsily at Kyle. Kyle ducked kicking it out of the trooper's hands. He caught it, turned around, and stuck it into the trooper's stomach. Another trooper walked up. But this one was different, he had a green suit on made out of fabric and not metal, just like Kyle's suit. The man withdrew a staff, and pressed a button. It ignited a small blade made out of the same material that light sabers were made out of. It was a gleaming red spear.
"Hello, my name is Commander Tulsan," the trooper said. He flipped up swinging his staff at Kyle.
Luke ran up to Slain swinging his two light sabers. He brought one down to Slain while spinning around and swiftly swung the other one at Slain. He blocked both attacks easily. Luke sensed another Dark Jedi coming up from behind to attack. Luke ducked spun around cutting his feet off. Luke blocked a blow just in time to his face.
"Face it Skywalker, you couldn't beat me before, you can't do it now," Slain said. Luke controlled the anger fighting to free itself with this comment. Luke jumped up kicking Slain in the face. He staggered back clutching his face while Luke landed giving a deep cut to Slain on his arm with swift movements.
"Aaaaagh," Slain yelled staggering back Slain grabbed his light saber. He was truly angry now. Luke was about to land a winning blow onto Slain when Slain flipped back, and grabbed Jan putting his light saber to her neck very closely. Luke stopped his light saber in the air.
"Drop your weapons, or she dies," Slain said.
"Don't Luke. Kill him, end the chaos," Jan said. Luke wanted to listen to Jan, but she was too important.
"You have my word she won't die if you drop your weapons," Slain said. Luke turned off the light sabers dropping them to the floor. Slain smiled backing up behind the doorways. He used the Force to close and lock them. Luke grabbed his light saber plunging it through the wall, trying to cut a hole through it. He all the sudden sensed another Dark Jedi attacking him. Luke stepped out of the way smashing the his head to the wall. He swung his light saber cutting the Dark Jedi's head off.
Kyle blocked a blow to his legs falling back. He flipped on top of their ship. Tulsan followed Kyle. Kyle kicked Tulsan away. He fell to the front windows of the ship. Kyle jumped over him landing right by him. Tulsan kicked Kyle's face. Kyle fell back. Tulsan jumped up twirling his staff in the air throwing a blow at Kyle's head. Kyle ducked. He jumped sideways trying to jab a blow to Tulsan. He blocked it. Kyle rolled over on his side picking himself up to his feet. He flipped himself over Tulsan cutting his back. Tulsan screamed in pain puffing his chest out so his back leaned in. Kyle spun around in the air swinging his light saber straight through Tulsan's back. Tulsan fell to the ground. Kyle turned his light saber off. A ship started to land. Kyle jumped off his ship to its landing. A catwalk opened out. Luke was striding down the catwalk. He jumped high above Kyle landing, and attacking many of the little creatures and troopers. Luke just sliced a creature in half, and he clambered over to Kyle.
"We are here to take you back," Luke said.
"Why, we haven't even caught Slain yet," Kyle said.
"Slain isn't here. This was a diversion. He wanted us to think he was here so we would send many of our men to catch him, when he'd take this opportunity to attack our base. They did. I figured you guys might have fallen right into a trap battling hundreds of men, and not standing a chance. It looks as if I'm correct. But, you did stand a chance; you've killed many of them. There look to be only 20 left," Luke explained.
"Thank you, and I doubt Slain's not here. Just because he sent a team to attack our base does not mean he went with them," Kyle said.
"He was there. I fought him. They were there to free all the Sith we have or had in prison," Luke replied.
"WHAT. Now he can build up a bigger army with people trained with light sabers," Kyle said.
"I know, and there's more. Slain kidnapped Jan," Luke said sadly.
"Wha- wha- what? That can't be," Kyle cried.
"He threatened to kill her. I had a chance to kill him, but he was going to kill her if I didn't lower my weapon. I knew how much she means to you, so I dropped my weapon. And he took her away," Luke explained.
"Thanks Luke. By the way, I'm sorry I didn't believe you when you said this was a trap. I was being selfish. I should have listened to you," Kyle said forcing a smile. I still think you're weak and that I'm more powerful. If it were me, I would have killed Slain before he killed Jan. Kyle thought to himself. He held in his anger with Luke. Kyle ignited his light saber attacking a creature swiftly stabbing it in the chest, and turning around to cut a trooper in half. Luke joined him fighting the troopers and creatures. Eventually, all the creatures and troopers were dead. Luke gathered what was left of Kyle's men and took them into his ship. Luke and Kyle flew back to Bespin. They walked out to the medical center. Kyle walked in to see so many people lying in a bed.
