Chapter 9

Luke ignited his light saber ready for anything. He saw Crusifidge ignited his too. They both ran forward. Crusifidge flipped above a battle landing on Luke's other side. First, they just stood there. Luke understood Crusifidge had a mask on covering his acid scars.

"My time has finally come," Crusifidge said. They started circling around each other.

"I've sensed this battle for a long time. I just never thought it'd be with my best friend," Luke said.

"If I remember correctly, you killed the only one I loved," Crusifidge spat.

"That's not it. Don't even try to kid yourself. You were power hungry, and you turned to the Dark Side. Kyle used to be my best friend. But you killed him, but I can sense a little bit of Kyle in there," Luke said. This made Crusifidge very angry he swung his light saber forward. Luke flipped a Dark Jedi trying to attack him from behind over his back into the blow. Luke jumped up flipping over Crusifidge trying to slice at his head to have it blocked. He landed blocking blows to everywhere. He kicked Crusifidge back. Luke ran up jumping on a landing platform high above. Crusifidge jumped up, and boosted himself off from another man's head landing on the platform. Luke swung his light saber spinning around and trying to slice through his chest. He dodged it bringing an attack down on Luke. Luke blocked it spinning in the air backwards. He strode forward. Luke blocked an attack turning around and blocking an attack while his back was facing Crusifidge kicking him back. Crusifidge got up trying to tackle Crusifidge down. Luke jumped up holding onto another landing platform, and swinging his body back so Crusifidge over shot him. Then he swung his body up flipping himself up onto the platform. Crusifidge jumped up trying to slice at Luke's head. The wind pushed Luke through the air violently as Crusifidge landed. Crusifidge jumped letting the wind send him straight into Luke. They both dropped their light sabers while in the air. They flipped themselves over head butting each other, and causing as much damage on each other as they could. They landed on their backs. Luke called his light saber to him igniting it, and blocking an attack from Crusifidge just in time. They were in a lock. They stared into each others faces. Luke broke the lock kicking Crusifidge back into the air. Luke flipped up facing the raging sand storm going on. Crusifidge jumped forward bringing an attack down on Luke. Luke blocked it, but fell back from the force of the attack. He landed on a shattered piece of rock. It was big enough for both Crusifidge and Luke. Luke stood up. Crusifidge jumped on it. He used all the might of the Force he had to bring it on the ground. Sand flew everywhere. The jagged rock flew up through the air while they were standing on it. They struck each others' light sabers. Luke held a lock in place. They stood there. The rock landed back onto the sand starting to go down a mighty dune. Luke brought down an attack pushing Crusifidge back. He wasn't ready to back down. They stood on the rock as it fled down the dune. Crusifidge pushed Luke back. Luke took out a gun shooting at the rock as he dragged himself on his side down the hill. A cord shot out attaching itself to the rock. Luke pulled himself back onto the rock flipping over Crusifidge. He blocked an attack from Crusifidge slicing the rock in half. They jumped off from the rock throwing attacks at each other in the air. They landed on the other side of the battlefield.

"I should have expected you'd turn to the Dark Side," Ayden said.

"Oh, well I recall you were the one who had trouble with their anger," replied the traitor known as Gazer Reba. Reba smiled.

"This war hinges on the safe and security of the Republic, and so many troops have died because of you," Ayden seethed.

"I know," Reba smiled. Ayden ignited his light saber flipping himself up to where Reba was. He attacked. Reba ignited his light saber blocking all the attacks. The slowly made their way around the beam attacking each other. Ayden brought his light saber up flipping himself over Reba, and trying to slice through him. Reba blocked the attack kicking Ayden back. Ayden landed on his back. He back flipped himself onto his feet. He slowly paced to Reba. He blocked an attack coming to his neck, and then blocked an attack to his head. He kicked Reba back.

"I must admit, you have grown more powerful," Reba said smiling.

"The downfall of you I will be," Ayden spat jumping up flipping himself over through the air.

He landed blocking an attack to the back. He spun around kicking Reba in the face. Reba back flipped off the walkway they were on down to where the beam was. Ayden walked down the walkway. Reba sneered at him throwing his light saber at him. Ayden ducked slicing the hilt of the light saber in half. The light saber lost its power falling to the ground. Reba tripped a Dark Jedi steeling his light saber. It was a double sided light saber. Reba ignited both sides. Ayden flipped himself over Reba trying to attack. Reba blocked the attack trying to counter attack with the other side of his light saber. Ayden blocked it backing up. He took a Dark Jedi running by and threw him into the beam. The beam started to make a noise that sounded like thunder. Shots of lightning flew from the beam. Reba blocked a shot with his light saber. Reba jumped up as high as he could pushing off a wall and onto another one until he was at least 112 feet high in the huge room. Ayden followed him.

They were standing on a ledge of a huge window. Ayden just barely blocked an attack. Ayden grabbed the hilt of Reba's light saber holding it back. Ayden grabbed Reba's neck holding it over the ledge. Reba kicked Ayden's back. Ayden nearly fell off from the ledge. Chains were hanging in the room. Ayden blocked an attack spinning around, and using the Force to push Reba back. Reba flew back holding onto a chain. The chain swung back, and then back to Ayden. Reba kicked Ayden out the window. Ayden flew through the air which was being contaminated with sand. Ayden landed on a landing platform. Reba flipped himself onto it. Ayden jumped up blocking an attack from Reba. Reba back flipped high up through the air. Ayden jumped up trying to attack Reba, but missed. They landed on a platform far below. Reba quickly blocked an attack forcing it to the side with one side of his light saber trying to bring an attack in with the other side. Ayden narrowly missed a slice to his head. Ayden jumped up kicking Reba in the face. Reba brought down an attack. Ayden dodged it slicing the hilt of Reba's light saber in half. One half fell down off the platform. The other stayed in Reba's hands.
