Star Wars- A Hero Falls - A War of Lost Hope

Chapter 2 - An Attack on the Redemption

Link woke up. He looked around his room. He felt a presence here. Like someone was going into his mind to find information. He had a headache and he was sweating from the horrible dream he had.

He got up, wiped the sweat from his head and opened a footlocker next to his bed. He took out the Padawan robes he had gotten as a Jedi. He missed those days. He had made the greatest of friends with his master.

To bad his master had died in the attack on Coruscant. Link was alone now. He had his brother but he was a General in the constant fight on Coruscant. Even from space you could see the battle.

A giant fire Ball Link thought to himself. It looked like the blast had never settled. That where the battle was. In the Crater.

Link put on the Padawan robes. Every now and then he would reach down not remembering his light saber had been taken from him. He had been exiled from the Jedi the day before the attack.

He gave into his anger during a trial and with the anger he struck down the innocent workers giving him the tests. When he was asked to give up his light saber he held it out to the council and stabbed Kanraaan, the only Wookiee Jedi.

He was going to be taken to prison but that changed after the attack. All the guards fled and he escaped.

He walked out of his room. General Heneran was walking by on his way to the bridge of the ship. Everyone was running.

"General!" The General kept running.

Syn came out of his room. He had packed up.

"Syn what's going on!"

"Wake up you idiot! Were under attack and we only have 5 escape pods left. Either you go and fight or escape. Your choice. I'm out of here." He ran the opposite side of the ship.

Link was fed up with running. He wanted revenge. Even against any law or code he would vow to destroy Darth Rive and the Infinites. He was going to fight.

He took a hall to the rear of the ship. He took a left from there. All the halls looked the same but he got used to it.

He got into the room labeled "In Case of Attack".

He jumped on a turret ad looked out the window. TR-707's…hundreds of them and more jumping from out of hyperspace and two last ships came out. The Capital ships of the Infinites.

The Leviathan and The DoomGiven

He began firing. He managed to shoot about 5 in the last min. This wasn't a good idea. A few times the TR-707's shot back at the ship nearly hitting Link. Just about to give up Link shot some more.

He hit a ship. He didn't damage it but got it going down. It was coming towards the ship. With great luck it flew into the Hangar. The Ship is Mine he thought.

He rushed down to the hangar. The Infinite was getting out. Link blasted him with the blaster he had modified himself.

Link looked in the body for anything useful. He found a grenade. He examined the ship.

It was badly damaged. He wouldn't last in the battle.

He went back to his room. What was I thinking! He could only hope that the escape pods hadn't left.

They had. He was stuck going to die. Syn was there. And 50 others were panicking running around the ship. Some stood still waiting for their end.

Then it happened. The DoomGiven shot an ion blaster at the Redemption disabling the whole ship. The Leviathan blasted the engines pushing it forward.

Link felt a pressure. He was being pulled back. It was getting harder. Everyone on the ship could feel it. The pressure was hard no one could stand it. Everyone was being pushed to the back of the ship.

"What's going on!" Link was against a wall an being pushed.

Syn looked down the hall into the bridge. He could see the planet ahead. It was getting bigger. He saw the planet Geonosis.

"We're Gonna Crash!" Yelled Syn.

The Redemption had been crashing into the planet below. The TR-707's were firing on them fiercely pushing them harder and tearing the ship apart.

Link Saw a landscape. Barren. Just like the battlefield on Coruscant. Link fainted one moment before the crash. Then the ship crashed…
