Chapter 8
Ayden waited until they landed the ship, and then he got off. They walked a little ways to see a mighty base. Much more mighty than the one on Kamino. It had this great big metal object sticking out of it.
Suddenly, the object shot something huge. Like a giant fireball. It landed by the men. Dirt was thrown everywhere, and so were the men. Ayden saw through the dust many troopers were running across a bridge over a canyon. Ayden saw Crusifidge running out attacking many men with his light saber. Ayden ran forward igniting his light saber. He attacked Crusifidge who blocked the attack easily. Crusifidge ignited the other side of his light saber so it was once again double sided. He brought the attack down on Ayden who blocked it locking them up.
"Wait. You're Skywalker's padawan. I can sense it," Crusifidge said. "You shall die." He threw down an attack. Ayden jumped back onto the bridge. He jumped onto the bridge's railing balancing himself on it. Crusifidge ran forward trying to slice Ayden's legs off. Ayden jumped up dodging this attack. Ayden flipped over Crusifidge landing behind him. He quickly turned around attacking, and when he had that attack blocked, he swung his other side at Ayden's arm. Ayden blocked this going low trying to slice Crusifidge's legs to have it blocked, and kicked in the face. Ayden rolled over on his back grabbing his light saber and quickly blocking another blow.
Suddenly, another fireball hit the bridge making a huge hole that Crusifidge and Ayden fell in. They held onto the edge of the hole looking down at the acid at the pit of the canyon. Crusifidge turned off one of the sides on his light saber. Ayden threw an attack at him with his free hand. Crusifidge blocked it flipping out of the hole and onto solid ground. He ran off the bridge because it was starting to break and fall down into the acid. Ayden climbed up the bridge as it slowly started to slide under him. He made it to the ground just in time as the bridge gave in and fell down into the acid. Ayden back flipped up and over Crusifidge trying to put a slice on his head, but failed in doing so, and landed down blocking an attack from Crusifidge. He kicked Ayden back who rolled on his back. Crusifidge lunged at Ayden who grabbed him rolling back. Crusifidge got up picking Ayden up, and throwing him into the canyon. Ayden flew through the air grabbing onto a drain pipe which was shaped in an octagon, so you could stand on the flat surface, in fact these pipes were everywhere, and they were like miniature bridges. They went from one side of the canyon to the other. He had his arms around the pipe staring down at the acid in fear. Crusifidge ran out on the pipe stepping on Ayden's hands. Ayden winced in the pain fighting the urge to let go. Ayden flipped himself back up standing on the pipe. Crusifidge ignited one side of his light saber while Ayden ignited his light saber. They started both swinging their light sabers striking each other's occasionally. Ayden swung his light saber over his head ducking it so he wouldn't slice it off, and swung it at his sides switching with good style and spinning around with good balance trying to slice Crusifidge who attacked striking Ayden's light saber while it was swinging. Ayden swung the light saber over his head once again spinning around to deliver a blow to Crusifidge's chest. Crusifidge blocked it keeping it in a lock. They stayed like this.
"I see Skywalker has taught you well. Hard to believe because Skywalker's so weak, and yet you are so strong," Crusifidge said.
"My Master is the most powerful Jedi ever," Ayden said taking himself out of the lock, and trying another attack to Crusifidge's head. Crusifidge blocked it putting them in another lock.
"Keep telling yourself that kid," Crusifidge said. Ayden was growing angry. He ran up Crusifidge like he was a wall and kicked him in the face, and used this as a boast to kick off, and back flip in the air back onto the pipe. Crusifidge held his face looking angry. He spun around swinging his light saber and striking Ayden in his shoulder. It was a long thin cut. Ayden screamed staggering back, and clutching his wound.
Luke was still petrified about seeing he just blocked a blow from himself.
"Skywalker, I would like you to meet Darth Creeum. He is a clone of you, and he is the one who really killed Jan. I just tricked Katarn into believing it was you," Slain explained laughing. The clone known as Darth Creeum was wearing black robes with shiny black boots and gloves. Creeum smiled twirling his blood red light saber raising it high above his head. Luke did the same. They kept them in that position circling each other. Creeum smiled not saying a word. Luke concentrated. This was himself but in the Dark Side. Creeum spun around bringing his light saber to the side with great force. Luke blocked this blocking a series of blows following.
Luke realized something, even though Kyle was completely consumed in the Dark Side, and there was no changing him back because Crusifidge would never believe the truth, Kyle was still an old Jedi, and was a great friend of his. The least he could do was avenge his wife's death for his old friend since Kyle would never would figure out about this. Kyle was already dead, he was with Jan. Crusifidge was alive and well however. Kyle died as soon as he saw that hologram. The least Luke could do was avenge Jan's death in Kyle's honor.
Luke made up his mind. He was going to destroy this clone of himself at all costs for Kyle.
Luke fought harder than he ever had fought before. He wouldn't let any of Creeum's attacks come near him. He threw down a blow so hard Creeum fell back. Luke swung his light saber making it look like he was about to strike at Creeum when he instead spun around and used the Force to push Creeum to the other side of the room. Creeum flew hitting the wall. He was on the floor getting up quickly. Luke stalked towards him hungrily raising his light saber. He brought it down to have it blocked by Creeum who brought the hilt around and smashed it into Luke's chin who clutched it staggering back. Luke flipped above Creeum landing on the other side, and using the Force to push Creeum back. Creeum smashed through a window falling onto a big metal round part of the base. Wind and rain rushed through the room. This didn't stop Slain from watching the battle. Creeum ran back into the room standing on a control panel. Luke jumped up striking his light saber as hard as he could. Creeum blocked it counter attacking. Luke jumped out the window landing on the round front of the base. Creeum jumped forward attacking Luke who flipped Creeum over him. Creeum ran forward tripping Luke who fell and rolled off the metal front. Luke held onto the edge grabbing his light saber which was rolling down to him. He flipped up landing next to Creeum who used the Force to push Luke far back. Luke crashed into a balcony destroying on side of the surrounding railing which was made out of rock. Luke got up to see Creeum was on the balcony right next to him. Luke jumped onto the railing that wasn't destroyed. So did Creeum. They started attacking each other switching balconies fast. Luke threw an attack to have it blocked again. He jumped up spinning his legs around, and kicking Creeum in the face. Creeum lost his balance falling a ways until he hit a landing platform. Luke landed right next to him. They were trying their best to get up. Creeum reached for his light saber. Luke got up kicking his face. Creeum was thrown over. He used the Force to get his light saber.
