Chapter 8
Luke and the others ran down hallways occasionally slicing troopers apart. I hope Kyle's ok, Luke thought to himself. They finally reached the core having the controls to the base's water system. Luke ran up to the control panels holding the computers. He started to jam it so it'd clog up and explode. The water systems still weren't responding. You needed a secret code to shut the doors. Think Luke. What could Slain put as a password? Bang, Luke suddenly felt great pain from Kyle. He had to shut down the system, and fast. He decided to hack into Slain's computer.
Kyle stood there shocked watching the hologram over and over again.
"So what are you going to do now Kyle?" Slain asked. "You can easily kill me. Or you can kill the traitor you thought was your friend," Slain stated.
"I'll be back for you," Kyle said pointing to Slain. He picked up his light saber, took out the hologram projector, and walked away.
Luke had successfully gotten into the Slain's computer. He searched information until he came to a riddle for the password. I was once in power. Powerful I was, to be a master and not an apprentice. This is easy. Luke read and thought to himself. He typed in Palpatine. A loud computer voice said "access allowed." Luke jammed the door shut so the water had no where to go.
"Done," Luke said with everyone guarding the room. They all ran out. "You guys go ahead, I'm going to go find Kyle, I'll meet you there," Luke said. They parted. Luke looked everywhere for Kyle until he came to a long white hallway. Kyle was standing at the other end. He stopped at the sight of Luke. He had a very angry expression on his face. He glared at Luke.
"Kyle. We've jammed the water system. This place is going to blow in 30 minutes. Did you find Jan yet?" Luke asked. Kyle didn't answer, he just kept on glaring. "Well, we better go," Luke said.
Suddenly, Kyle ignited his light saber charging and screaming at Luke. Luke withdrew and ignited his blocking an attack from Kyle. Luke fell back. "Kyle, what's gotten into you?" Luke asked. I sense great anger in Kyle. More anger than I've ever sensed in anyone before. Luke was worried. Kyle jumped forward attacking Luke. Luke blocked a blow to his legs just barely. Kyle was fighting faster, swifter, and with more anger than he Luke had ever seen him. Luke flipped over flying back. As soon as he landed, Kyle was right next to him sending many attacks to his legs, and his neck. Luke flipped over Kyle putting him in a lock when he landed. "Stop it, Kyle," Luke demanded.
"NO. You killed Jan," he screamed.
"What are you talking about?" Luke questioned. Luke jumped up dodging a blow to his feet, and then ducked dodging a blow to his head. Luke blocked a blow coming to his chest. Luke jumped back behind the doorway, and used the Force to close and lock it. Now Luke was not where he started. He had to find a new way to get to the rest of the men. He had to save Kyle though. If he could some how knock him out, then take him with him, that would work. But that would be hard. Luke didn't want to believe it, but Kyle was completely consumed by the Dark Side. He could sense it. Luke ran through another series of hallways looking for another way to the garage. Luke walked into this black room. He looked down to see two parts of the ground separated to make two cliffs going down farther than Luke could see. There were two sides of the room, one on the other side of the cliffs, and the one Luke was on. They each had one control panel on a wall jutting out. Kyle all the sudden walked on the one on the opposite side of the room.
"You killed Jan," he said pointing to Luke.
"Kyle, I did not. I have no idea of what you're talking about. I'd never kill Jan," Luke said, and he really never would.
"Quit acting like you don't know what I'm talking about!" he screamed jumping to Luke's side of the room igniting his light saber. Luke ignited his just in time to block a blow to his head.
Leia was running with Han out to the garage when she got this really bad feeling. Luke's in trouble, and so is Kyle, she thought to herself. She knew it. She could sense it.
"Han, we have to go back. Luke and Kyle are in trouble," she stated.
"How do you know?" he asked.
"I can feel it. I know they're in trouble. We have to go back, and get them, or they'll both die," she said.
"Ok, let's go," he said. They turned around, and ran back into the base.
