Chapter Twelve
The republic fleet was ready. The chiss fleet was ready. The remnants fleet was ready. The last hope for everyone in the galaxy was ready. Each with its sleek star ships, that, if they combined there firepower, could rip a hole through the center of any planet you could name. But this time, they would rid the galaxy of the yuuzhan vong.
Though unknown to them, they weren't going to be rid of them with the fire power. They were going to be rid of them through a hero, a lone hero. That was once a demon, rained death down on the galaxy, but then died. After a period of time, the hero was reborn. But this time, as the hero. This hero was ready to sacrifice himself to save everyone the hero cared about. And that hero, had a destiny that he would fulfill...
The green turbo lasers flew through the sky and lanced through magma and plasma. Which didn't help the battle much, X-wings, E-wings, B-wings, A-wings, Chiss Claw-Craft, and TIE-fighters of all sorts lanced around, blasting at all sorts of Yuuzhan Vong vessels. The Yuuzhan Vong, however, had no morale, They had been defeated at Obai-Skai badly, and because this was the same forces, combined with new and undamaged one's, the Yuuzhan Vong thought it was the end. And it was the end for the, and there species...
The landing craft of the Ralroost went out of the hanger, and into black space, weaving through space, ducking in and out from blue balls of plasma and from the red spheres of magma. Anakin Solo, can only sit and wait, and wait... and wait for the ride to be over, and for the chance to kill yuuzhan vong and retake the planet of Coreusant. That way, the war would be over.
He looked out the viewport, and he saw at least a wing worth of transport ships with them. But then he saw the brown outlines of asteroids coming for them. Coral skippers were inbound. He could see a group of A-wings turning to engage them, they wouldn't last long though, A-wings had almost no shielding, and were lightly armored. Because of that, the magma of the skips would rip through the fighters. Like a death star ripping through a moon.
Anakin could only watch as a red magma burst smashed into the hull of a transport ship. The transport listed to the right and more magma blasts hit it. But then it exploded into a burst of flame and debris. Anakin suddenly felt a gap in the force. Who had died in there? Ganner... Alema...Tesar... Tekli...Lowbacca... all of them were dead. None of them were coming back...
The transport sung around as a skipper tried to flank them, the magma ball missed by a inch. The ship kept moving, dodging the magma blasts barely each time. it entered the atmosphere and kept moving. The skip behind it, always trying to shoot them down with a sphere of red heat. each missed. They were over a large building when they were hit however.
Anakin looked down and saw a hatch way, opened it, and then yelled, "Everyone down here!" He watched as Tenel Ka, Tahiri, Jaina, Jacen, and his uncle jump down with parachutes. Then the pilots, one a short little rodian and a other kel dor that had a angry disposition would grabbing his parachute. They jumped down the hatch and onto a large building, which was covered with Yuuzhan Vong.
They began to fight. Anakin mowed down a group of vong, with ease. Charged and found himself in a turbo lift sort of thing. Everything had happened so fast he had no time to understand what was going on. But he saw that he was on the floor. He got up and was next to his brother and sister. The turbo lift opened and Nem Yim, a shaper that attempted to turn Tahiri into a yuuzhan vong warrior, stood there, flanked by a group of Yuuzhan Vong warriors.
The Jedi group got out of the lift, Anakin noticed that the three pilots weren't with them. He guessed they died in that battle on the top of the building. Anakin parried a sudden strike from a snake sort of staff with his light saber, released the snake blade ducked down and kicked the warrior. Then Anakin brought down his light saber into the warriors face.
He saw Luke slash a Yuuzhan Vong in the under arm, which in turn caused the two arms to fall off. After a terrible shriek of pain came out of the warrior, he pummeled his green blade into the face of the warrior. Anakin followed that example of fighting in the Yuuzhan Vong war. Though he didn't do it as fast as Luke, he came close in time, but it got the job done.
Anakin jumped into the air, and sliced down at a Vong's chest. His light saber deflected off of the armor, but sliced through the face as he brought it back. Through the force he sensed Tahiri, fighting. But who? Nem Yim. A whip like object was in Yim's hand, she was whipping it around but Tahiri was able to parry the strikes with ease. A second after the last parry made by Tahiri, Tahiri jabbed her saber forward, and into the chest of Yim. Who fell down to the ground, limp, cold, and dead.
They went on and busted now a door. This was where they were going to end the war. Shimrra, the leader of the yuuzhan vong. stood, flanked by Nom Anor, and a feral looking vong. When the jedi took a step into the room, they were pushed back, only Jacen, Jaina, and Luke weren't. And when Anakin and the others tried to go in, they were blocked by some sort of force field.
Jacen turned his head around, noticing the faint green outline of a force field. But what made it? He reached out with the force, and was able to sense something other then his family and friends, a yuuzhan vong? No one could sense a yuuzhan vong in the force! Only Anakin could, and that was because of his light saber, which was changed slightly, so Anakin couldn't sense them anymore.
What was going on here?
Jacen didn't have time to think, he felt an attack through the force. His willpower took over and forced the presence out, within a second his light saber was out, but he felt another attack in the force. This time he not only forced it out, but he sent an attack back with it, a small shock wave, from his block, to an attack.
His shock wave was blocked, but now the yuuzhan vong attacking him with the force moved, to the right. Jacen used this and used the force to push the vong, who crashed into his own force field. Jacen saw out of the corner of his eye the sight of Luke attacking Shirmma, the leader of the yuuzhan vong, and Jaina, fighting Nom Anor.
The weird yuuzhan vong coming back in the force to attack him. Jacen pushed him back.
He took out his green light saber, and slung it. The yuuzhan Vong ducked to dodge, and punched him. He recoiled and made an other slashing strike at the Yuuzhan Vong. Once more Jacen felt an attack in the force coming towards him. He blocked with the force, and slung it back at the Bizarre Vong. It was blocked.
He followed it up with a different attack, sort of a force lightning to the mind, it was blocked. He followed up with something like a force pull, and then a push. This wasn't blocked, and Jacen followed up with a other force lightning like attack. This wasn't blocked. The vong's force field shut down and the vong stumbled into a window, then scrammed as he fell down into the blackness of the ground, and death.
He noticed that Luke and Jaina were standing over the dead bodies of Nom Anor, and Shirmma. The war was over. The leaders were dead, nothing could possibly make this moment of incoming peace, bad...
He turned and saw Anakin fading into a white void. What was this? What was happening?! This wasn't possible! "Anakin!" Jacen yelled in unison with everyone in the room. "You're... Fading..." Jacen whispered.
"What ever is going, I'll fix it." Anakin Replied, and fully faded.
