Well, here is yet again, another chapter. For some of you have don't know, this story links into Order 66. I wasn't planning on it going that way but once I got to the sixth chapter, I thought, 'why not'! If you watched the movie then you can kinda figure out what is going to progress. Hehe, though bad little ole me, I like to throw in the monkey wrench!

Ok, enough of my babbling! Just remember! Review, review, review! Oh and a shout out to all of those who have been sending in reviews! I love it! Lol, there might even be a sequel. What do you think of that?

Flay clutched at her mother's skirts, her eyes filled with terror. She didn't understand why there were so many screams! Covering her ears would have made her feel better, but then she would have to let go; that was something she couldn't do. For the first time, Flay was truly afraid.

A shriek came from Azul and woke Flay from her dream world. Her dark orbs flashed. Before her there were bodies of fallen Jedi and all around the living still fought. "Mommy!"

Yunda placed a hand over her daughter's dark curls. She wanted to help them but couldn't. The feeling of being out of place took over Yunda till suddenly there were a mass of clone troopers about her.

"Halt!"

Gavja stood in front of his family with an arm extended outward. "Please, we are not Jedi. We were held hostage, please, escort us out."

There was a long pause from the main trooper clothed in white and yellow. He turned to his left and spoke something inaudible for ears to catch. With blaster pointed towards them, he tilted his head. "State your name."

"Senator Gavja Pumbbala and this is my wife and children."

Another pause was emitted into the air. A nod came from the clone trooper and he waved them through. "Escort them outside."

Yunda's eyes flashed with hatred. She couldn't believe that Gavja had lied about their present situation. There was a crinkle in her nose but suddenly a blue flash of energy caused her to stand in awe.

A Jedi stood before them, the heads of the troopers on the ground. He bowed once and then dashed in the other direction. Yunda noticed there was a significant space between her and Gavja. Her mind was set. She knew that taking a sudden course of action might be the wrong decision, yet why did it feel so right? She couldn't live with Gavja like this. There was no way she would permit him to touch her again.

Gripping Flay's hand tightly, Yunda clutched Azul close to her chest. "When I say run, run as fast as you can."

"But mommy…" Flay stuttered.

"Just do it, baby." She took in a deep breath. There was more then one way out of the temple, and she knew them. Yunda just prayed that the basement in which she had used long ago was not locked. "Do as mommy says."

Flay nodded her head. Her eyes flashed forward to her father, then back to her mother. A soft whisper sounded and Yunda began to run. Flay grasped her blue skirts while trying to keep up. One look behind her shoulder only caused fear to grow. Gavja had caught on and he wasn't looking happy. With a wave of his hand, there were two clone troopers on their tail.

Yunda glanced over her shoulder. She had also spotted the two clones with their blasters clutched tight. If anything, she was going down with a fight. There was a flaw in her plan; she had Flay and Azul.

Her feet seemed to fly much faster then Flay's could. Eyes scanned along the narrow corridors of the second level. There weren't a lot of places that they could hide and Yunda did not like what she might have to do. She halted, breathing deeply.

Dropping to her knees, Yunda put Azul on the floor. She ran her fingers over the vent in the wall. The cool metal caused shivers to run down her spine, through ripping the cover out of the wall proved the hardest. Blood trickled down her fingers as the edges cut into her skin. Azul was now going ballistic. Flay covered his mouth and ran her fingers through his ebony hair.

Yunda gasped Flay by the shoulder. The little girl did not fight until she realized where she was going. "No mommy!"

"You have to, sweetheart! Please, hide in here with Azul and keep quite. Don't come out for anyone! Promise mommy this!"

Flay fought back tears. "You'll come back?"

"Yes, yes, I promise…" She ran her hands over Flay's face and hair. "Please…"

Her little face was now growing red as her mother hugged them both. Soon they were both being huddled into the small space, the vent put back into place. Her wide eyes could see up to her mother's knee but that was all.

Yunda stood to her feet. She glanced over her shoulder to see to two clone troopers coming closer. "You, halt!"

Closing her eyes, Yunda reached into her left sleeve. She pulled out the light saber but didn't turn it on. They were now face to face with her though a new face came into play. Gavja came up behind them and grasped her arm. "What in God's name are you doing?" He glanced around, shaking her. "Where are they?"

A gasp came from Yunda when he had struck her once again; her back now pressed against the wall. The troopers didn't leave nor did they say a word. She glanced right at him, then to the vent.

The saber was clutched tight and every second that went by was wasted time. She wanted to drive it right through him for what he had done. Still, she could not do it here. Not with her children gazing in fright.

Her hesitation only received another shake. There was a long sigh let out from her as she pressed the light saber to his stomach. "No more games…" She turned on the saber. The blade went right through him and glowed the deepest shade it ever emitted. "You took away what I loved, so I will take away what you love…"

Yunda turned of the saber, though she had forgotten one factor. When the troopers had seen the lightsaber, they had set their guns to auto. One who used a Jedi tool had to be a Jedi! They opened fire.

Azul started to scream from the blaster fire. Thinking quickly, Flay covered his mouth and held him tight. The little outburst was not heard from over the noise.

Watching her father fall to the ground, and then her mother, sent Flay into a day dream. She wanted to scream like her brother though she couldn't. Her eyes closed tight.

The trooper put down his weapon. He walked up to Yunda's body upon the floor and kicked her shoulder once with the toe of his boot. "They're dead." He turned his back to the hall. "Let's move out."

With a tear rolling down her pale cheek, Flay could only hope that this was a dream. Wake up, wake up, she repeated subconsciously.
