It had almost been three years now from when Shin took Scarlet in. It also had been a little over three years from when Shin started dating James Satron. Only problem was that Scarlet was right about him. James was using Shin as a cover. He was indeed someone who had studied the arts of the force and even worse he was a trained assassin for a sith lord. Scarlet had finally exposed him to Shin but by that time it was a little too late. Shin was with child, his child. Will Scarlet be able to protect Shin from her evil ex?
"Scarlet?" Shin was worried. Scarlet had just become a target for James because she ruined his plans. "Scarlet?" Shin said again this time walking out of her room. When she was out in the small living room she saw Scarlet passed out on the couch holding her sabers in her hands. Shin went over and sat down on the couch next to Scarlet's head and began to rub it gently. Scarlet slowly opened her eyes and looked up at Shin for a moment then sat up.
"Good morning." Scarlet said sleepily.
"What are you doing out here?" Shin asked.
"Making sure a certain someone didn't come here." Scarlet said.
"He's a trained assassin Scarlet, you can't take him alone." Shin said.
"But I have something he can't even think of."
"I don't want you to get hurt, Scarlet."
"I'll be fine… you're the one who has to be careful."
Shin rolled her eyes and got up to go make breakfast. Scarlet got up and walked to the table and sat down. In the middle of Shin preparing breakfast there was a knock at the door. Shin went over to the door and opened it slightly only to have the person on the other side throw it open knocking Shin down. Scarlet stood up and grabbed her lightsabers, knowing who it was, and ignited them. When Shin looked up to see who was at the door she found James standing above her with his red lightsaber pointed at her neck. Before James could strike Shin down Scarlet had thrusted herself towards the man knocking his saber away from Shin. The two then engaged in a lightsaber duel, swinging their sabers at each other's throats and limbs attempting to kill the other. The two ended up down the hall, down the elevator, and out of the building Scarlet still holding her ground against this man twice her size yet evenly matched by him. There were parries and dodges and both aiming to kill. Scarlet was done with this man, all she wanted was to protect Shin from him. The two made it to the middle of the street neither of them willing to give up. The surrounding people watched as the twin white sabers clashed with the red saber back and forth. Even in the day the lower levels were dark. Before long Scarlet could sense a familiar presence in the area, and it wasn't Shin's. "Dark Night." Scarlet said in her head recognizing the presence. She had informed the Jedi council of the assassin and it seemed they decided to send Dark Night to help deal with this. Following Dark Night were three other people, one of which when Scarlet had seen him coming up from behind James knew was Obi-Wan, even if he had a beard now. Then she saw two boys who looked around the same age following behind both of the older Jedi. James sensed the Jedi as well and force pushed Scarlet down in an attempt to get away only to end up surrounded by the Jedi.
"Do you really think you can take me down?" James stated as the four Jedi ignited their lightsabers. "I've killed many of you." he added with a sneer. Scarlet stood up recovering from being knocked down.
"If you move you will leave us with no choice." Obi-Wan stated moving into his defensive position with Dark Night moved into her offensive position seeming to be able to read what James was planning to do next. Both the padawans seemed nervous, Scarlet seeing this knew James would target them next. James instead of going after the padawan next to Obi-Wan turned towards the padawan next to Dark Night and grabbed the padawan's neck with his left robotic hand and threw him onto his back. But before James could run off Dark Night had jumped in front of him and Obi-Wan behind him. The padawan stood back up to try again but by this time James attacked Dark Night and ended up going back and forth between fight Dark Night and Obi-Wan and was surprisingly good at doing this even with Dark Night having two lightsabers. The padawans followed after their masters and so did Scarlet. Shin had finally come down from the building to find the Jedi and James in a duel and ran after them. James had finally got the upperhand on Obi-Wan and forced pushed him back to where he found himself holding onto a rail hanging over the side. Dark Night went to aide Obi-Wan but ended up defending herself once again.
"Malik! Help Obi-Wan!" Dark Night yelled to her padawan and he did as she told him to. Shin had her saber in hand and charged at James only to have him push her over him and her landing on her back. Scarlet watched in horror and then saw Dark Night thrown into a building. Scarlet then felt her anger rising within her she then, without thinking felt her right hand form into a choking hold and James began to float slightly in the air and choke before he could kill Shin. Scarlet then closed her hand and James dropped to the ground dead. Scarlet then rushed over to Shin to check on her.
"Are you alright?" Scarlet asked.
"I'm fine, thank you." Shin responded. Scarlet helped her up and then helped her back to the apartment room hoping Shin would be fine after all of this.
