Keitaro yelled, "To the ship, everyone!", as he ran, hoping against all odds that the Vader would not catch up to them. As they ran, Motoko and Keitaro kept shooting backwards towards the pursuing storm troopers. However, the storm troopers flooded in from all directions, and soon Motoko and Keitaro were hard pressed to shoot all those in front and behind of them. Naru and Kitsune had both lost their blasters in the earlier stages of the flight. Mutsumi didn't carry any weapons.
Su had initially piloted the ship towards the nearest dock, but unfortunately the Vader realized their plan too soon, and had waited for their arrival. Su had had to fly off to prevent the ship from being shot down by Vader, but not before she warned Keitaro and the gang about their busted plan.
And so they ended up on this hopeless dash for freedom, running towards the final docking bay, the one which was the furthest from Vader. He had almost given up hope after receiving the message, but he couldn't let them down, not now, after they had come so far.
Running and running, it seemed like the corridor lasted forever. Moreover, more and more storm troopers poured out from the many branches of the main corridor. Keitaro knew that he had no choice, so he defeated them all with a little bit of force lightning.
"THIS WAY!", yelled Kitsune. Finally, the moment of truth approached.
As soon as the group passed through the doorway, a most terrible sight confronted them. Darth Vader was there, and Su hanged limp in the air, most probably the work of force grip. Keitaro refused to believe that she was dead. How could she leave us? She was like a younger sister to me… Images of Keitaro and Su having fun flashed through his mind. A tear fell down his face, causing him to close his eyes, and when they finally opened again, they shone brightly with cold fury.
Vader spoke, "Greetings. Here is my welcoming present to you, this little creature who interfered with my plans!". With that, Vader flung the body of Su right at Keitaro. Keitaro dashed forward, and caught Su's body before the floor of this foul place tarnished it. Keitaro stared straight at Vader, before saying with a cool and collected tone, "Today you have taken away one of my dearest friends, and today I swear to rid the world of a menace. You.".
Vader laughed. "With your pathetic control of the force you seek to destroy me? Very well, I'll like to see you try!".
Keitaro passed Su's body to the rest of the girls, who were all either crying or holding back tears. Keitaro turned towards Vader, took out his staff saber, and pointed it at Vader. Vader, noticing his challenge, took out his own pair of light sabers. One was a blade of blue, and one was the blade of red. Keitaro charged at Vader, and slammed his staff saber into Vader's light sabers. Blue and red sparks flared up, and both parties were held in a deadlock.
Finally, Keitaro released his hold, and dodged Vader's strike at his stomach with a roll to the side. He slashed at Vader's side, but was parried. Left Right Left Right Left Right. All his blows were parried and in a moment where time seemed to freeze, Vader struck at his wrist, cutting off the whole joint, causing Keitaro to lose his one and only weapon.
Keitaro stood staring at his wound, an expression of disbelief on his face, before seeing Vader slash both blades at his neck, one from each side. He knew it was over. Over.
As Vader's light sabers came into contact with Keitaro's neck, something inexplicable happened. Vader's blade shattered. Shattered. Keitaro looked up, and with the last of his strength, pulled his saber towards him, stabbing Vader in the back. Vader laughed, before pulling back his mask and saying something that would change his life forever.
Seta: Keitaro... I am your father.
Vader fell to the floor, dead.
Everyone was shocked at Vader's identity. How could Seta, the hero who was thought to be lost many years ago, be Vader?
Keitaro's life had run its course. He collapsed onto the floor, dead. His body, together with Seta's formed a yin yang circle, which in the face of death, looked beautiful.
Erm, please review!
