Chapter 10: Duel of the Fates
As soon as Liz got home, the rainstorm had gotten worse, so Liz was soaked by the time she reached the library. After getting a fire started, Liz wrapped herself, and picked up a book about the early days of the Old Republic and the beginnings of the Jedi Order. Yami was interested in how the spread of technology helped create a stable government that lasted a good 25,000 years before the rise of the Empire.
"See, Rin," Liz addressed the doll, who was sitting patiently beisides her mistress on the plush carpeting, "that's the ship the first settlers used in space. It was right after the Corellians invented the hyperdrive in transports, and that's when people could get across the galaxy in days, not years."
Liz came across to the chapter that described the Sith Empire in detail. Yami looked over Liz's shoulder when he read something about the original Sith. "Has anyone found out what happened to them," he asked Liz, pointing to the article. Liz shook her head, "I don't think anyone has. Most think the Dark Jedi killed them all off. That's what Exar Kun did to the Massasi."
Yami sat down next to Liz, "Who was Exar Kun?" Liz laid back on the floor, closed her eyes, and thoght for a moment before replying, "From what Mom told me and Ben, Exar Kun was originally a Jedi Knight who left the order and became a Sith because he wanted to rule the galaxy. At the time, the Republic was much smaller than when Granpa became Vader. Kun enslaved the Massasi race, and brought them to Yavin IV, where they built giant temples, and worshipped him as their main god. But he was really evil, Yami. He took all the Massai kids, and locked them in a Golden Globe. Before he died, he made them all commit suicide, so his soul could live on forever."
Yami was surprised by all the history that Liz had just told him. "And your father, aunt and uncle fought at that same place against your grandfather," Yami concluded, as Liz shook her head in agreement. "Dad set up his Jedi Acadmy there after Uncle Han and Aunt Leia eloped after the Battle at Endor. My cousins, Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin are training there to become Jedi Knights. Ben was to, for a while anyway. But he decided to become an X-Wing pilot for Rogue Squadron."
Liz then yawned, and decided to lie down for a bit. Carefully placing Rin on her desk, Liz hunkered down under the sheets and fell asleep.
The next day, school was back in session, and Liz left Rin at home, out of fear that Ivory would steal her, or worse break her. Yami wasn't surprised by this, and pretty soon, classes had started, when a young man appeared at the door. He asked the teacher, "I need to see Ms. Skywalker for a moment." Liz followed him out the door, and outside to where a limo was waiting.
"Ummm, do you want me to get in," Liz asked nervously. The man, who was tired of waiting shoved Liz roughly into the backseat! "Hey," yelled Liz, "what do you want?" Before she had time to reach her lightsaber, the old man held it out of reach. That's when she realized her hands were bound in binders. "Let me go! What do you want with me," Liz yelled, already terrified beyond belief! She glanced behind her, as the man pulled away his mask, revealing a very familiar face! "Ruri! What-" Liz had no time to say anymore, before Guri placed a cloth covered in chloroform over Liz's nose and mouth, making the child go unconscious.
Some time later, Liz slowly came awake, and gasped. She was in a dimly lit room, filled with half made dolls. It was eerie, and Liz was getting freaked out. She opened her eyes slowly, and murmured, "Hmmm... Where... where am I?" She sat up, but her head hurt, and she noticed her hands were tied together to the back of the chair.
She looked at the older man, who was smiling evilly at her. Liz looked around worriedly, and asked her captor, "Who are you, and where am I?" He smirked at her naivete, "Why don't you guess, young Skywalker?" Liz gasped, "The dolls tore? But why? What do you want with me?" That's when things took a truly terrifying turn.
The old man removed his mask, revealing a smooth, green face, with black hair pulled back into a topknot. Liz gasped, "Xizor! But... you're dead. Aunt Leia saw you die. Granpa-"
"Your grandfather merely killed my clone. And I am sure your beloved Aunt told you I died. But I didn't. Not yet, at least. I swore revenge on your family for destroying what I held dear, and now, I am going to kill you, dear child." He motioned to Guri, "Guri, bring me the vibro-pike." He then turned to Liz, "Now, sit still and this will be over very quickly." Liz concentrated through the Force, and sucessfully sent Guri crashing into the wall.
Xizor was incensed, "You little brat! I'll kill you with my bare hands, like I should have done to your father!" With that, he threw a poisoned blade, and nicked Liz's cheek. Liz screamed in pain, as the knife made a small wound down her neck, to her left shoulder, tearing the cloth. The knife also made a wound on her leg. Liz managed to stand up on her own, but before anything could happen, Guri set her blaster on stun, and hit Liz square in the chest. The girl went flying, and landed with a loud thud!
Xizor smiled sadistically, "Thank you, Guri. Now to finish the job." He reached for the vibro-blade, and at that moment, Yami appeard, holding Liz's activated lightsaber. "Don't you dare touch her," he growled. Xizor smiled, "Are you a Jedi or a Sith?" "Neither," Yami replied, and grabbed Guri, while holding the lightsaber blade an inch from her throat, "I'll kill her if you hurt Liz, I swear." Xizor smirked, "I doubt you will."
Yami then threw Guri to one side, cracking her clone-vat skin. He then struck her mercesslessly with his lightsaber, until she was nothing more than a droid. "See, Xizor. I will kill her if you don't tell me how to Liz to help." Xizor smirked, "No need to. The child will die, and I have no need for Guri anymore. She was a mere tool for me to further my career in the Empire." "No! That can't be," Guri screamed, before Xizor put her out of her misery. He then summoned a frightening looking probe droid, and told it, "Kill the child." Yami growled, and the Egyptian eye glowed on his forehead, and soon Xizor found himself surrounded by the eyeless, soulless dolls, reaching out for him.
Yami then struck down the probe droid with a flourish that would make Mace Windu jealous. He then picked up Liz, and ran out to the store front, where he set off the burglar alarm. A few seconds later, a police man ran in found Liz, "Commander, this is Antilles! Tell Councilor Organa Solo we found her niece. Repeat, I found Liz Skywalker. Send medical back up, she's been injured."
Soon after, Leia and Han were at the scene, when Han ran down to the basement, and shouted, "Curse you, Xizor!" Xizor was still hallucinating, and was dragged away.
Liz was immediately rushed to a local hospial, where her injuries were treated and the poison was reversed. Some time later, she was back at home, safe and sound. Yami was upset that someone had taken advantage of her, much less someone from her family's past who would do anything for revenge.
Meanwhile, at the Imperial City Insane Asylum, Xizor had just waken up, when a shadow approached him, and stated, "I am very disappointed in you. You failed me, Xizor." Xizor hissed, "I am sorry, Master. But the child, she had a strange item around her neck-" "The puzzle? You didn't take it from her! I have no more use for you. Go, Circle Daemon." Xizor screamed as he disappeared, and a loud growl was heard, followed by silence. Two guards burst in, but there was nothing there, just Xizor's limp body, dead from a large wound to the torso that looked like an animal bite.
Elsewhere, the figure murmured, "Most disappointing. I will have to find a new apprentice."
