The lightsabers ignited, and the two Jedi stared at their Sith opponent. He stared back, and began walking to the side on an invisible circle. The two Jedi moved in the same direction.
"So, I sense a bond between you two. A close bond," the Sith said. "It would really be a shame if one of you didn't make it out of this duel alive."
"There are worse things than death," Shawn said, he and Rebecca maintaining their focus.
"Ah, and you believe I have already achieved that?"
"You have," Shawn said.
The Sith shook his head. "I have gained a power you could never dream of."
The man put his hand out, and bolts of lightning shot at the two Jedi. They blocked it with their lightsabers.
"Not bad. I see you know of the Force Lightning then. Then we shall have to proceed to the use of our lightsabers."
The man ran at the two. The two Jedi jumped towards him, one landing on each side of him. Shawn attacked his back, Rebecca his front. The man was fast enough to block both attacks. Shawn attacked high on the man's right side, and Rebecca went for a low attack on the Sith's left. The man once again blocked both. He spun completely around, attacking Shawn low, and Rebecca high. Both of the Jedi blocked his attacks. He continued his spin, and kicked Shawn back. Rebecca jumped over the man, and blocked an attack. He threw her back using the Force.
Both Jedi got up.
"Beckie," Shawn said. "This isn't going to work if we try to protect each other. We've got to keep attacking him, no matter what happens to the other."
She nodded. "Okay. Let's get him."
The two ignited their lightsabers again, and Shawn jumped over the man. Rebecca came in with a low attack, which the man blocked. Shawn landed and went for a straight down swing, but the man spun and blocked it.
The rest of the Jedi watched as red, gold, and silver blurs hit each other with the Jedi and the Sith in the middle.
"Master, will they be able to defeat him," Kyle asked.
Luke shook his head. "I don't know. Only their skills can change the future now."
"And their bond," Kyle asked.
"It's strong, and it allows them to sense each other's attacks before they happen," Luke told him.
"But, isn't it possible their bond goes through the Sith first, and he can sense what they'll do?"
"Quite possibly, but only the duel will tell."
Rebecca ducked, and Shawn jumped to avoid the man's spinning attack. Shawn landed on the other side of the man, next to Rebecca. Shawn moved to the side to avoid the downward attack at him, and the gold and silver lightsabers met in an X to catch the red lightsaber. The man pushed his lightsaber down on the other two, and used it to flip between the two Jedi. He kicked Shawn back, and used the Force to throw Rebecca back.
"I still can't believe Skywalker is training girls in the ways of the Force," the man said as he walked over to Rebecca.
Shawn kicked himself up, ignited his lightsaber, and jumped at the man. He attacked downward, but the man spun and blocked. The two went into their own little duel: attacking high, low, to the side, downward, upward, spinning attack, reverse spinning attack.
Rebecca got up, and ignited her lightsaber. The man kicked Shawn back, and Force threw him away as Rebecca ran at him. He used the Force to pick up a car, and threw it at her.
She quickly saw it, and jumped up. She landed on top, and jumped off immediately as the car hit the ground and barrel rolled into a building. She ignited her lightsaber and landed next to the man. The two went into a lightsaber duel just as the man and Shawn had seconds earlier.
Shawn shook himself, and ran up to assist Rebecca. The man blocked Rebecca's side attack, and turned, attacking Shawn, who jumped over the attack. He landed behind Rebecca, who ducked as Shawn took a swing at the man. The man blocked the attack, and Rebecca rolled to the side, got up, and attacked him with a stab. He hit her lightsaber up, but had no time to attack as he blocked Shawn's attack.
Rebecca recovered, and the duel continued, with Shawn moving to the side of the man opposite of Rebecca's. The man turned to face Shawn, and reached back to block Rebecca's attack, and back front to block Shawn's. Shawn and Rebecca both went to take out the man's arms, but he rotated in between the lightsabers, not needing to block either. The two Jedi attacked his front and back, but the man jumped out from between them, and landed about ten feet away.
The two Jedi ran for him, but he threw a car at them. Shawn and Rebecca jumped and flipped over it. He threw another car at them, and they rolled under this one.
The man smiled, and saw a tractor trailer carrying gas nearby. He deactivated his lightsaber, and used the Force to throw the trailer at the two. They jumped high to avoid it, but the man had jumped up, anticipating their move. The three lightsabers ignited in the air, and clashed together in a fury of attacks and blocks.
The three landed on the trailer, which was still sliding. Rebecca and Shawn were both on the same side of the man, and continued to attack him. He blocked each attack with extreme precision, and on one block, caught the trailer with his lightsaber.
All three of them looked down at the sparks, and Rebecca and Shawn quickly jumped about 20 feet away. They heard the explosion, and turned when they landed. There was no sign of the man.
"I wonder if he could survive that," Shawn said.
The two Jedi looked at their friends. Jarrod shook his head. "I didn't see him jump off."
"That doesn't mean he didn't," Luke said.
The two Jedi deactivated their lightsabers as they watched the burning wreckage.
After a few minutes, they heard a lightsaber. They reacted by igniting their own lightsabers, and the man jumped over the flames; his clothing a bit burnt.
The three lightsabers clashed as the man came down on the two, and he threw both of them back. He jumped over to Rebecca with a new hate in his eyes. She rolled backwards, and used the Force to throw a car at him. He cut through it with his lightsaber, and ran at her. She ignited her lightsaber, and blocked a powerful attack. He went for a low attack, moving upwards. She went to block it, and succeeded, but the power behind it sent her lightsaber out of her hands.
The man lifted his lightsaber for a strike, but Shawn rolled under him, and ignited his own lightsaber, blocking the downward attack. The man kicked Shawn, and used the blunt side of his lightsaber on Shawn's head. Shawn fell face first to the ground, his lightsaber deactivated.
"No," Kyle said, igniting his lightsaber, and tried to run for his friends.
Luke stopped him.
"You won't be of any help. The two of them have not yet unleashed everything they have."
"But Shawn is unconscious."
Luke shook his head. "Just watch."
The man attacked Rebecca, who had summoned her lightsaber when Shawn blocked the man's attack. The attack came down powerfully, but instead of blocking it, she moved to the side, and attacked the man. He leaned back to avoid the attack, and was tripped by Shawn, who was in fact not unconscious. The two Jedi stabbed at the fallen Sith, who kicked his legs to jump up, avoiding the two stabs. He attacked Shawn, who blocked, and then Rebecca, who also blocked. The two Jedi attacked him at the same time, and the man did a moving spin to avoid Rebecca's attack, and blocked Shawn's, pushing the silver lightsaber back up towards its wielder.
Shawn did a back flip on the ground to keep the lightsaber's momentum going, and attacked the man's lightsaber from below, hitting it up. Rebecca went for a stab with the man's stomach opened to attacks, but he blocked it by hitting it to the side. He jumped and used both feet to kick the two Jedi away. They tumbled away from each other.
"Absolutely pathetic," the man said, walking up to Rebecca. He looked over at Shawn, who shook his head to regain his composure. He looked down at the female Jedi.
"Well, it seems you will not be saved this time," the man said, kicking her lightsaber to the side.
Shawn dove for his lightsaber, but the man summoned it first, and ignited it.
"And how ironic yet, killed by your love's lightsaber."
Rebecca backed up on the ground.
"NO!" Shawn yelled. He jumped for the man, who turned, startled by the Jedi's unarmed attack.
Shawn summoned the Sith lightsaber from the man's belt, and ignited it in front of him. He slashed sideways, and the man had no chance to block it. His eyes went wide, and Shawn's lightsaber fell out of the man's hand. He fell back, and his top half slid a bit after hitting the ground.
Shawn deactivated the red lightsaber, and summoned his own and Rebecca's.
"All right," the other Jedi yelled.
The rest of the friends cheered for the two Jedi, who had just defeated the Sith who had been attacking them randomly all over the universe.
Rebecca got up, and hugged Shawn.
"It's ok now," Shawn said. "He's gone."
"Thank you sweetie, for saving me."
He pulled her close, her head on his shoulder. "You're welcome."
Luke smiled, and the others pretended to gag or throw up.
"Oh dear lord," Kyle said.
"Get a room," Jarrod yelled.
"You're ruining the celebration," Victor said.
"Gag me with a lightsaber," Josh said.
Shawn and Rebecca turned to them and smiled. "That can be arranged Josh," Shawn told him.
Everyone laughed, and Luke picked up the Sith's lightsaber and sighed. "We just have one problem now. We don't know who his master is."
Everyone looked at Luke, who looked back at them with a blank face.
Well everyone, that's it. The End, all of that. But, not to worry, a sequel is in the process of being written, in my head at the moment I'm typing this, but it will be in physical Microsoft Word form by the time you read this. Please review, and keep an eye out for the sequel. Good old three episode series, here we go…
