Chapter 7
Kyle walked through series of hallways. He all the sudden saw a ventilation shaft to the floor. He kicked the cover to it off, and got down crawling into it. He crawled until he saw this hallway room. He crawled out, and stood up on his feet. It had platforms, catwalks, and control panels. It was huge. Kyle squinted down the long room to see a figure tied up in a chair.
"Jan," Kyle muttered. He started to run. "Jan," Kyle yelled getting louder. He stopped. Her eyes were closed. Her head was rolled resting on her shoulder. Kyle saw a long slender slash down her chest. Kyle started to cry realizing the love of his life was dead. "Jan. Wake up," Kyle cried. All the sudden, he heard clapping, and a voice saying something.
"Jan's dead, Katarn. Do you like the pain that flows through your body right now," a loud voice echoed throughout the room behind Kyle. The tears started to dry away as a very angry expression grew onto Kyle's face. Kyle crouched down in front of Jan, kissed her, and slowly started to turn around igniting his light saber. He let anger flow through his veins. He saw Slain standing on a cat walk. He was clapping. Kyle all the sudden started to sprint snarling at Slain. He jumped up to land on the platform. Slain ignited his light saber blocking a very hard blow from Kyle. Kyle was fighting like he never fought before, with so much anger. He didn't even let Slain's light saber come close to hitting him. Kyle spun around bringing down a blow from high above his head. Slain blocked it falling back from the intensity from this blow. But Kyle gave him no break. He attacked again. Slain blocked it with a counter attack. Kyle blocked this blow easily. He jumped up kicking Slain in the face. Slain fell back Kyle used the Force to push him off the catwalk. Slain fell on his back, quickly standing up. He jumped to a stair way on the wall connected to two control panels. Kyle jumped over there bringing down a blow. Slain blocked it. Kyle was in a lock with Slain. He saw the slice on Slain's arm from Luke. He spun around breaking the lock, and kicking him in his cut as hard as he could. Slain let out a painful scream. He fell on his back rolling backward down the stairs. Kyle ran down the stairs. Slain was on the ground by a control panel. Kyle brought his light saber up for the finishing attack. He was about to bring it down when Slain used the Force with all his might to stop the blow.
"Katarn. Stop. It wasn't me who killed your beloved Jan," Slain said. Kyle was giving much effort to fight the Force so he could bring down his blow.
"You're lying," Kyle seethed through clenched teeth. Slain was starting to lose his power. He was growing tired.
"I'll prove it," Slain said. He took out a mini hologram projector, and inserted it into the control panel. He pressed play. Suddenly, a picture of the tied up Jan sat there, and her voice screaming for help throughout rang the room. All the sudden, a figure strode down the long slender black room. He looked familiar, but since his back was turned, Kyle couldn't see who it was.
"Oh, thank goodness. You're here. Help me," the hologram of Jan said. The figure did not respond. Instead, he withdrew a light saber swiftly slicing Jan's chest. She screamed, and went silent. The figure let out a horrible evil laugh. He turned around so Kyle could see his face. When Kyle saw it, he dropped his light saber in shock. No, it can't be. But it is. Kyle stared at the hologram to see the laughing face tilted back. The face belonged to Luke.
