Chapter 14: Death Again
Vader made his way up the steps of the raised platform toward Traya. Xen leaped down and landed in front of Yoda and Leia.
" And ancient Jedi sage and a young Jedi knight." Xen cooed. " Pathetic."
" Remember you I do." Yoda said. " Xen, young knight. Left the order you did long ago, and taken a liking to leather you have."
" Don't criticize my fashion sense when you're wearing a white cotton robe over orange pants and a tunic!"
" Criticizing your fashion sense I am not. Merely stating how you have changed."
" Whatever." Xen said activating her lightsaber. Leia and Yoda followed suit. " Lets just get this over with."

" Why did you come back?" Vader asked activating his lightsaber. Traya made no move to.
" I thought I made that perfectly clear when I killed your son." Traya replied coolly. " Did I not say I came back to destroy the force? I hate it. That is only part of the reason though, you see you killed me it made me angry. I wish to take revenge."
" It is I who should want revenge! You murdered my son!"
" I understand your anger. But if you would just let me kill you, you could join your son."
" No, no, I still have a daughter and I can live with the pain."
" Have we anything more to discuss?"
" How did you come back? Tell me if I'm wrong but that Xen doesn't look smart enough the change the engine on a speeder bike."
" I took over her body, I got the resurrection process started, then I was sucked from her body back into my own. And there is a certain side affect to that. Because I resurrected myself I am more powerful than ever."
" Well I don't see anything different about you. Accept your hands came back."
" Yes, but I do not need them to kill you."
" You think you are going to kill me without using your hands? I'll believe it when I see it."
" Very well."
Suddenly Vader was soaring through the air, it was as if an invisible rancer had just yanked him backwards. He smashed into the guard rail of the platform causing it to bend. Then Xizor's chair flew at him. He jumped just in time and it fell over the platform.
" Who ever said cyborgs were slow?" Traya asked.
" I am no cyborg."
" Well you are defiantly not human."
" Then how can I do this?"
Vader extended his free hand and Xizor's desk flew at Traya. Just as it was about ten inches from her face it stopped. Traya didn't even flex a finger, and then if soared at Vader. Barely in time he caught it with the force and hurled it over at Traya but it missed and tumbled down off the platform.
Traya shook her head and all of a sudden a chair that had originally been in front of Xizor's desk flipped over and flew at Vader. He raised his saber and cut the thing down. Then he took his chance and sprinted towards Traya. Just as he was within striking range and lightsaber flew out of her cloak and ignited itself in mid air. Vader struck at Traya's head and it deflected the blow.
" The force gives me many talents Lord Vader." Traya said, as the saber begin to spin in a deadly flurry of attacks all of which Vader parried. " I'll make it easy and end it right now."
The saber soared out of Vader's reach and came above his head angled downward and flew. There was no possible way to parry. Vader instead leaped out of the way, extended his foot and kicked Traya in the chest. She flipped backwards. And landed on the ground. Vader angled his saber down at her neck. Without and movement he was flying back again and it started all over.

Xen cut at Leia's legs and Leia wasn't fast enough. From the knees and down her legs fell off. Quickly Yoda flipped himself at Xen and whirled around in the air all the while trying to decapitate Xen.
Xen dodged, parried, and jumped out of the way as the little master attacked. Yoda landed and spun around trying to cut Xen's feet off. She jumped over the strikes as it were a simple game and when the Jedi stopped spinning she brought her saber down to his head. The Jedi raised and parried and the sabers locked. This was now a competition of strength and the little Jedi had a surprising amount of it.
" Fought well you have." Yoda said. " Even Leia's legs you cut off."
" I had to get her back."
" No you will die for your crimes."
" The Jedi do not kill for crime."
" Right you are, cage and arrest you I will."
Yoda broke the saber lock and brought his saber right down through Xen's foot. She dropped her saber and fell over groaning in pain. Yoda hit her in the head with his deactivated hilt and went to tend to Leia.

For the umpteenth time Traya's saber flipped itself at Vader like a saw blade. This time Vader was ready, he leapt to the side and sliced the hilt in half. Tray shook her head and called Yoda's saber to her.
" Look." She said as it began to attack Vader. " The saber that killed me will now kill you."
" I think not." Vader said parrying the saber. On its last spin he missed and his hilt was sliced through. He fell to the ground, Traya's saber at his neck, well Yoda's.
" I think so." Traya said as the saber raised itself. It flew down at Vader, but before it could stab through Yoda leaped above him and the saber stuck itself in his chest. Both he and it fell to the floor. Traya laughed.
" Fool, he sacrificed himself for nothing!"
In anger Vader called Yoda's deactivated blade to himself activated it and stabbed Traya in the heart. She gasped, sputtered, and fell the ground, dead.
Vader rushed to check on Leia. She would be fine, just synthetic legs is all she would require. Xen was unconscious and she would be imprisoned for life.
Sorry it ended so fast, I was going to make the fight two chapters long and have Xen escape and be caught but I was kind of tired of typing sorry.
