Chapter 2
Luke was really feeling like he couldn't go on with this any longer. He was tired of the war. Luke was never in a good mood anymore. He always seemed drained of energy tired.
Luke was the only one who knew the reason he was never cheerful. Luke knew everything was coming to an end. He could sense it. One thing he could no longer sense was Kyle, all he sensed now was Crusifidge. Before, he sensed Kyle still in there, but now, he only sensed the power hungry Darth Crusifidge. This was another thing that saddened Luke. He could sense the duel between him and Crusifidge nearing very much. Luke did not know if he was ready for the duel between him and Crusifidge that he had known would happen for so long. Luke no longer felt anger like he used to. Ever since Luke had been commended to a Jedi Master, he had learned to harness his anger.
Luke flew the ship through space back to Bespin with Ayden lying in a bed behind him.
Crusifidge walked down the hallways looking for Slain. He came to the main hanger seeing Slain standing in front of a window with his hands behind his back. Crusifidge walked in.
"Grederken has returned," Crusifidge reported.
"Jedi interfered," Slain said not turning around.
"That's correct," Crusifidge said.
"Why do you not bow?" Slain demanded turning around to see Crusifidge's slimy green slouching figure.
"Because I do not wish to," Crusifidge snapped. Slain raised his hand in anger. Crusifidge blocked a blow of Force lightning that Slain sent to him.
"What do you mean you do not wish to?" Slain questioned.
"I mean I do not feel the need anymore to bow to you," Crusifidge said.
"Why is this?" Slain seethed.
"Because, I am practically more powerful than you, and yet, you still hold me back," Crusifidge snapped. Slain ignited his light saber in anger jumping towards Crusifidge. Crusifidge ignited his light saber blocking a blow Slain landed. Crusifidge jumped up putting his light saber behind his neck blocking a blow from Slain. They were in a lock.
"You think you are more powerful than me?" Slain said through clenched teeth.
"MAYBE I DO," Crusifidge yelled. They curved their light sabers down hitting each other swinging them up hitting each other again. Crusifidge flipped over Slain striking light sabers with him. Crusifidge landed while Slain spun around slicing a cut through Crusifidge's chest. Crusifidge screamed falling on his back.
"You still have much to learn my young apprentice," Slain said laughing and walking away. Crusifidge glared at him. Crusifidge limped to the hospital wing. He laid down in a bed when a nurse came.
"Lord Crusifidge, we have discovered a way to develop a mask that looks exactly like your face used to 3 years ago. Do you want it?" the nurse asked.
"Yes, I'll take it," Crusifidge said. The nurse took a needle putting it into Crusifidge's neck. Crusifidge quickly fell a sleep.
