Viola! First ever Leia battle chapter.

Chapter 7: A New Lead

Present time

Xen hurled one of her sabers through the air at Leia. She ducked to avoid it and it flew behind her, she stood up and Xen called it back. Right when it was going past her Leia sliced right through its hilt and Xen growled in frustration. She had only one blade left.

" Stupid move." Leia commented, tossing her head and sending the hair flying off her face.

" Well, I guess you do have some bite."

" I was trained by Vader and Yoda."

" Yeah, he's your father isn't he? Tell me, is he some stuck up bastard because I distinctly got that impression when he was being trained as a padawan."

" You knew him as a kid?"

" Very good, you're not as stupid as you look are you?"

" Guess not."

Xen said no more but struck at Leia for the first time. The young Jedi raised her blade and parried the blow extremely fast. Xen was surprised.

" Better than I thought." She said, she struck again at Leia's waist, Leia parried and the sabers locked.

" Wish I could say the same for you."

Xen leaped upward into a soaring back flip and her leather boot made contact with Leia's jaw. She gasped and flew backwards from the power of the kick. Xen landed and Leia slammed into the wall.

" You can say it now."

" No, I can't." Leia answered her mouth gushing blood.

" Well you're gonna say it before you die sweetie."

Xen charged at Leia saber raised. She made no move to get up until Xen was mere inches away from her. She put both hands behind her back and used them to propel herself forward at Xen. Her foot hit Xen right in the stomach and she fell down onto the mat. Leia landed, her back to her, she whirled around flipped her saber until it angled down at Xen. Quickly she brought it down but Xen raised her foot and kicked Leia's hand so hard it broke. Her saber hissed and deactivated, the hilt tumbled away. Leia grabbed her hand and backed up in pain just as Xen leaped into the air and extended her foot kicking Leia in the stomach. She flew back this time and crashed into the wall again.

Xen reactivated her saber and started walking toward Leia. Leia lie there searching the room frantically for something to hurl with the force at Xen. There in the opposite corner she was in was a crate filled with medical supplies. She extended her free hand and called it. The crate zoomed right toward Xen's head and hit the back of it with a thud. It fell to the ground and burst open, Xen fell on top of it and in shattered. A shard of it stabbed right into her leg. Leia quickly ran out of the room for help.

Vader and Yoda sat in a negotiation room aboard the Executer discussing where they should continue their search for Traya. Just then the door burst open and Admiral Piett rushed in out of air.

" Lord Vader!" He gasped. " Contact your daughter immediately, she has important news."

Vader nodded and dismissed Piett. Quickly he activated the comm. in the middle of the desk and typed in the frequency for Leia's personal comm. Seconds later an image of Leia's head sprang to life.

" Father, a woman attacked me today." She said before Vader could speak. " I think she is working for Traya."

" Sure of this you are?" Yoda asked.

" Whey else would she try to kill me?"

" Point well taken." Yoda replied.

" Very well." Vader said containing his excitement about the news. " We will arrive at Coruscant as soon as possible."

" She's in a top security holding cell in the Coruscanti prison." Leia said. " Her clothes are currently being searched but they will be returned to her by the time you get here."

" Very well." Vader said and he cut the connection.
