Chapter 4
Luke walked down the hallway. Ayden rushed up to him.
"Luke, we've got a problem. Follow me," he said. Luke followed with curiosity. They entered the mapping room. Ayden ran up to a screen turning it on. Slain appeared on the screen.
"What do you want?" Luke asked calmly.
"I'm here to tell you we have a hostage of yours, and if you even think bout attacking our base on Dranium the hostage will die," Slain replied.
"What are you talking about?" Luke questioned.
"We have General Solo," Slain replied.
"You're lying," Luke responded immediately.
"Well, I'm afraid it's true. Try locating him on his tracking signal," Slain demanded. Luke quickly looked at his watch pressing a few buttons, but he couldn't find Han's tracking device. He looked up at Slain in horror. Slain smiled, and the monitor turned off. Luke looked at Ayden who was equally frightened. Without Han, there was very little hope for this war to be won.
"What shall we do?" Ayden asked.
"We have to go and save Han some how," Luke replied.
"When?" Ayden asked.
"Now," Luke replied striding out of the mapping room.
Han was sitting in a chair with his hands tied behind his back nervously looking around. Crusifidge walked in through some doors. Han sneered at him. Crusifidge returned the sneer.
"You are to be executed in right now. It is my job to take you and get ready," Crusifidge said smiling. He removed Han from the chair untying the binds to it. He took him to a small room surrounded by glass with Dark Jedi's standing behind it marveling. Crusifidge kicked him down. Han's head was tilted. Crusifidge withdrew his light saber bringing it up. He brought it down. In a swift movement, Han spun around making it so his bindings were cut. Han stood up quickly sinning around. Crusifidge snarled trying to slash Han who kept on dodging the blows. Han dodged another blow quickly punching Crusifidge. Crusifidge clutched his face dropping a blaster pistol out of his robes. Han quickly grabbed it shooting Crusifidge. He grazed his arm. Crusifidge grabbed his light saber bring it around trying to slice Han's head off. Han simply ducked kicking Crusifidge in the legs. Crusifidge screamed ducking down clutching his leg. Han ran out of the room. He realized he was on Dranium. Han ran out a hallway as fast as he could. The hallway's walls and ceiling were glass and see through. Han could see outside. He ran to some doors on the other end of the room. They were locked. Crusifidge walked through the other end of the room. He ignited his light saber. Han aimed his gun at the hilt firing. It flew out of Crusifidge's hand busting a window open. Han dove out the window falling down a slight rocky hill. Crusifidge ran after him catching up. They were at the edge of a cliff.
Crusifidge punched Han as hard as he could over and over again. Han kicked him over. Han got up on his knees. Crusifidge couldn't let this man escape. He punched Han again. Han snarled punching Crusifidge back. He was on top of him. Crusifidge used the Force to push Han back. Han was on his feet. Crusifidge thrusted out a knife trying to strike Han with it. Han dodged it upper cutting Crusifidge's arm. The knife flew out of his hand. Han caught it spinning around and made a thin slice on Crusifidge's upper left shoulder. Crusifidge screamed. Han punched him back grabbing him and holding him off the cliff so that he was leaning off. He made him stare at the acid at the pits of the bottom.
"You see that? You once fell in it before. You'll fall in again, and you'll die," Han sneered. Memories flashed back into Crusifidge's mind. The time so long ago when he fought that terrifying fight with Luke by the cliffs. How he fell in and nearly died.
"NO!" Crusifidge screamed thrusting his arms over his head grabbing Han and flipping him over off the cliff. Han screamed. But the scream grew fainter, fainter, and fainter until there was a loud splash. Crusifidge climbed back up the hill into the hallway. He saw his light saber on a small ledge, and grabbed it. He climbed into the room collapsing on the floor. Han Solo was dead. The war was going to be a win for their army. His mind drifted back to the memory of the faithful day he found out Luke was a traitor. He would never forget it.
