Chapter 5
Luke's ship was landing. They rushed out of the ship everybody running over the rebuilt bridge into the base. Luke and Ayden were right next to each other.
"We've got to split up," Ayden said.
"I know. You go in the back ways of the base, and I'll go into the hallways and the hangars," Luke replied.
"Ok my master. May the Force be with you," Ayden replied.
"May the Force be with you," Luke replied back.
They parted ways running down separate ways.
Ayden ran down a hallway ready for anything. He opened some doors to end up in a dead end room. He looked around. There was a tunnel pipe in the floor. Ayden jumped into it crawling as far as he could until he reached an opening. He used the Force to push the hatch open climbing out. This room was "pleasant." It had much steam in it. It had walkway platforms everywhere, and was very dark. He looked down to see this room was a long ways to the bottom. He quickly jumped onto a walkway. He heard a light saber ignite and saw its red glow in the distance. It came into light to reveal the man who was holding it was Darth Grederken. Ayden withdrew and ignited his light saber ready for battle.
"You never learn Donos," Grederken spat. Ayden ignored this comment spinning his light saber around and on top of Grederken. Grederken blocked this blow kicking Ayden back. He brought down a blow trying to kill Ayden. Ayden dodged it bringing his foot around and trying to trip Grederken. Grederken jumped up dodging the kick. Ayden took his light saber sending a blow to the side. Grederken blocked it. Ayden spun around and blocked a blow to the back. They were in a lock. Ayden broke it. He spun around to be kicked in the face. He was surprised and fell back. Grederken back flipped onto another platform. Ayden stood up jumping as high as he could in the air flipping as he was landing and landed a few feet away from Grederken. They took their light sabers sending blows at each other. Ayden ducked kicking Grederken as hard as he could. Grederken fell back. He spun around kicking Ayden in the face. Ayden clutched his face while receiving a punch to the stomach. He staggered back. He took his light saber ready for more battle. He brought around his light saber trying to slice through Grederken's head. He blocked it easily sending a blow of Force to Ayden. Ayden was knocked over the railing grabbing onto it. He took out his light saber, and cut the catwalk in half. The part Grederken was on fell down landing on another platform. Grederken rolled down the diagonal catwalk. Ayden let go of the railing landing on the tilted catwalk. Grederken got up. Ayden jumped down to him swiftly trying to cut through Grederken. Grederken blocked it spinning around, and sending a blow to Ayden's head. Ayden ducked. Grederken kicked him as hard as he could. Ayden rolled down the catwalk falling rolling onto the catwalk the tilted one was rested on. Ayden didn't stop rolling, and rolled off this one too. He landed on his back onto another one below. He looked up to see Grederken was jumping down ready to bring his light saber into Ayden. Ayden knew he had to have Grederken slaved now for if they had lost Han, they needed to kill one of Slain's main generals if they were going to win this war. Ayden grabbed a hold of a railing flipping himself around off the platform, under, and back to the other side kicking Grederken off the platform. Grederken fell off onto another platform. Ayden jumped down bringing his light saber down. Grederken blocked it lying on the ground. Grederken brought his foot up kicking Ayden in the face. Ayden staggered back. Grederken got up bringing his light saber up for the final blow. Ayden quickly kicked Grederken in the stomach. Grederken clutched his stomach in pain. Ayden spun down with his light saber at hand slicing Grederken's legs off. The upper part of Grederken's body leaned to the railing flipping off and into the dark depths of the room as he screamed as hard as he could. Ayden turned off his light saber. He walked out of a door at the other end of the catwalk.
Luke ran through hallways starting to panic because there was absolutely no sign of Han. He saw droids heading over to them. Luke ignited his light saber slicing through them as fast as he could. 5 Dark Jedi walked into the room all igniting a light saber. Luke backed up for minute swinging his light saber ready for action. He jumped forward attacking. He brought down a blow on one having it blocked, and quickly bringing his light saber around to block a blow sent by one behind him. He kicked one back that was charging forward, and used the Force to push another back. Luke swiftly spun around slicing through one of the Dark Jedi's feet, and spinning up slicing a head off of another one. The one that lost his feet fell on the floor trying to jab at Luke's foot. Luke dodged them bringing his light saber down on this one. He spun his light saber in a circle spinning around and slicing another one's hand off catching the light saber of his that flew through the air. Luke spun around kicking him in the face, and bringing both of his light sabers in through his waist. The last two attacked. Luke blocked an attack easily with his light saber, and used the other one to hold it out of the way while he brought his arm under his other one blocking the attack made by the other one. Luke undid this knot flipping over them blocking an attack from both of them. He used the Force to send one back, and used his light saber to hook the lock above his head and to his back so he had control of the lock. Luke then kicked him back. He saw the one he pushed back with the Force was attacking. He jumped high over him pushing himself off the wall with his light sabers in hand as he sliced through the Dark Jedi, used his body as a boost to jump high above him to the other Dark Jedi, and sliced off his head. Luke landed on the ground turning off his light saber. He walked through another room to see Slain was in it.
"Where's Han?" Luke demanded.
"Well, well, well. Haven't you heard? General Solo is dead. I thank Lord Crusifidge for that. He threw your little friend off a cliff. Crusifidge is dying to kill you. He's going to be disappointed that he wasn't here. He's in the medical center receiving care to a wound that your pathetic friend gave him with a knife," Slain spat smiling. Luke wanted to cry out you're lying, and attack with his light saber, but sadly could sense Slain was not lying, and knew he had to control his anger. Luke broke out into tears. He pounded his fists onto the floors. Slain laughed.
"You pathetic one. I could kill you right now, but I know as you do that it is destined that you are to fight Lord Crusifidge. I daresay, with how powerful he's been getting, I think he could kill you easily. But I can end this war right now," Slain smiled swiftly igniting his light saber. Luke jumped back running out of the room, and jamming the doors with the Force. He ran to the entrance of the base seeing Ayden was already there.
"Did you find Han?" Ayden questioned.
"Yeah, we got to go," Luke said hurriedly. They ran outside, getting into their 2 person ship, and flying away.
