Imperial Apocalypse
The Beginning Of The End
Only the students with common sense backed away from the TIE fighter, as they believed that it was an attack by the Galactic Empire. As for the others, they walked closer and tried to look into spacecraft. Daniel covered his muzzle with the darkness of the hood on his robe, strapped on his lightsaber, and uttered the two immortal words: "Show Time." He simultaneously lightened his windows and lifted the hatch. Daniel stepped out into the light and closed the hatch on the fighter. Daniel then locked it and began to walk away, hoping that no one would try to stop him.
"Hey! Daniel! What, not even a simple 'hello'?" asked one of the kids behind him. Daniel turned around and demanded to know who said that. One of his old friends stepped out from the group. He walked up to Daniel and asked, "What happened, man? You left without a word and never came back." "I left so that I could start a new life with the Empire. But they changed me in ways that I never expected." Daniel took off his hood to show his vulpine face, then continued, "I left the Empire and joined Star Fox, but was captured by the Federation. They sent me back here. But the Separatists are trying to capture me and use me as a weapon. Even my staying here for too long can threaten myself and those around me." By now, all three of Daniel's friends had gathered around to hear about why he had left. The rest of the school stood back, waiting to see if Daniel would try to kill them.
Daniel asked about what had happened since he had left. His friends had all become Jedi Knights and mastered the Force. After seeing this, Daniel took out two lightsabers: one of a fallen Jedi Master, and his own Sith Lord lightsaber.
Now was the time to make his decision: Jedi or Sith? Daniel knew enough about the Force to know that he could still use his signature Force moves, Crush and Destruction, on the lighter side of the Force. Not many people knew that. Daniel thought for a minute and made his decision just as the Imperial Army and Separatist army began to fight their way to Daniel's location.
Daniel threw his Sith lightsaber towards the Imperial army and watched as it impaled several Stormtroopers. Daniel's Jedi lightsaber was perfectly sized for him. As Darth Vader walked up to the three Jedi's location, Daniel pulled out his lightsaber and shouted, "Hey! Vader! If you want to battle here on Earth, you'll have to go through us!" Vader, seeing his disadvantage, backed up slowly. Daniel charged with his friends and four Sith Lords ran up to fight with them. As more Jedi and Sith joined the fight, more bodies became strewn across the battlefield. At last, Daniel and his friends began to pull out. It soon became apparent that this would become total war on a scale that would destroy entire civilizations, possibly entire planets. Billions of people, both soldiers and civilians, would die horrible deaths. Entire species would go extinct. Vast systems would be destroyed. Only one faction would be left standing. "This is the beginning of the end." Daniel told his friends with a sense of courage and a need to destroy the man who started it all, Darth Vader.
