Chapter 7
"General Solo sadly was assonated by General Crusifidge who has killed Slain, and is in charge now of that army," Luke said out loud on the stand in front of hundreds of people. Luke was on a stand talking to the army that belonged to the Republic. He told them the story about how they lost Han but Crusifidge's army lost Grederken.
"I have made contact with the enemy, and the final battle is in 2 days. The battle to decide who is granted victory in this war. Now the Generals are allowed to put one man in second command for the battle just in case they themselves die, and I choose Ayden to be second in command," Luke said. Everyone cheered. Ayden looked shocked that he received such an honor.
"Thank you my Master," he replied. Luke nodded smiling.
"If we do not receive victory then we will not go down without a fight," Luke screamed. Everybody cheered. Luke walked out of the room wiping a tear from his eyes. Leia walked in.
"Is it true? Is Han dead?" she asked.
Luke could tell by the look on her face she wanted so badly to hear a no. But Luke couldn't lie to her because she'd eventually figure out. A tear fell down from Luke's eye as he nodded. Tears fell from Leia's eyes as she buried her face into Luke's chest.
"No," she cried. Luke couldn't bare this. He took her arms making it so her face was looking at his.
"We will survive," Luke said walking away. She put her hand on her head crying tears that fell on the floor. Luke walked down a hallway to the training courts. He walked into it seeing the training robots. They readied there guns for Luke. Luke put a blindfold on igniting his light saber. He blocked a blast from a blaster coming his way reflecting it back to another droid. Luke spun around slicing through a droid letting the Force guide him.
Crusifidge flashed through his mind. He started to loose his fait in the Force mainly relying on his anger. He spun around blocking a shot. A flash of Crusifidge killing Han flashed through his mind. He spun around slicing through another droid jumping up as high as he could, and landed behind a droid quickly slicing through it. He saw another flash of Crusifidge laughing after he killed Han. Luke jumped forward in anger, and sticking his light saber through a droid, and spun around slicing another one in half. He heard the training doors open. Luke let his anger block out any sounds, he just relied on his anger and the Force. It had to be Crusifidge. He dove forward bringing his light saber down sensing his attack was blocked. Luke fought like he never fought before as he spun around and tried to slice through Crusifidge. He brought his light saber down sending an attack one way and then the other. He brought it up trying to slice through his neck. He sensed it was blocked. He could all the sudden see Crusifidge. He threw attack after attack at Crusifidge finding it strange that Crusifidge wasn't sending any attacks to him. Crusifidge sent a blast of Force to him. Luke flew back hitting the wall. He ran forward his light saber ready to bring it down. Luke felt a blast of some kind of wind. Luke screamed feeling like he was being torn apart and flying through the air. He fell to the ground with his eyes closed behind the blindfold.
Luke's eyes slowly opened. He was in the hospital lying on a bed. He saw Ayden was standing next to the bed. Luke sat up.
"What happened?" Luke questioned.
"Don't you remember?" Ayden asked.
"The last thing I remember was giving my speech to the crowd. Everything else is a blur… except pain, and anger," Luke replied slowly.
"You went insane," Ayden said.
"What happened," Luke asked.
"I found you in the training courts. You were practicing with some droids, and when I walked in you attacked me. I tried to tell you to stop, but it seemed like you were under a trance, and you wouldn't stop attacking me. You had a blindfold on, and I eventually knocked you out. But it seemed like you were fighting with a lot of anger. You nearly killed me," Ayden explained. Tears fell down Luke's eyes.
"I did that?" he cried.
"Yes," Ayden replied.
"I can't believe that. I'm so sorry Ayden," Luke said.
"It's ok. It seemed like something possessed you," Ayden said.
"I'm so sorry," Luke replied.
"It's ok Luke. Just try not to let it happen again and I will try to not let that happen to me," Ayden said. Luke nodded. He wasn't going to let it happen.
