The clock ticks, the pendulum swings...
Lau grinded into the nearest active hall and started to interact with other troopers to 'cover himself up'.
"So what do you think? Was Kylo's Fire Cloud an awesome idea or what?!" a random stormtrooper suddenly shouted. Lau looked at him and stood silently, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Well? Isn't it like the sickest thing you ever seen?" he asked. Lau didn't want to answer, but he had no choice if he didn't want to blow his cover, so he took a deep breath in and then...
"ATTACK! THE JEDI ARE ATTACKING US!" a stormtrooper screamed from the other side of the hall. At that moment everyone else other than Lau flew into a panic and ran in circles screaming, some kept doing that for ages, some eventually went to their battle stations, the rest fainted. Lau ran out of the room and stared out the closest window. It certainly was true some Jedi Knights were attacking, but now Lau understood why everyone was panicking.
Recently, the Jedi had developed a brand new battleship with an insanely powerful weapon. It was known as the Hot Hunter, it had enough lazar energy to wipe out an entire air-fleet of troopers. Provided its capacity to initiate in a battle is not struck.
Now the weapon was duplicated, the massive ship that Lau was in couldn't stand a chance.
Lau didn't want to fight back, but he had no choice, so he grabbed his gun and ran to the deck.
"I'm sorry!" he murmured as he took his first aim and fired a ray of red light, directly hitting one of the enemy ships' cores and causing it to explode, the Jedi inside fell out and teleported into a different ship. Behind him, terrified troopers cheered him on as he continued to eliminate all the competition within range. However, once all the Jedi were squished into a single battleship they decided to fly straight towards Lau. At this point, everyone, even Kylo Ren, was intently watching Lau with enthusiasm. As Lau took aim, he began to sweat through his helmet. Some troopers started to shout words of encouragement.
"You go Lau!"
"Yeah! Shoot 'em down back to hell!"
"Come on, son! Wreck them!"
Lau put his index finger on the trigger as he watched carefully for the HH's every move. For some reason, he waited for the last moment. The Jedi knew they were safe because they could tell he was nervous, so they pressed a secret button.
A destructive button that allowed them to charge up a 'super-lazar'.
Kylo knew something was wrong too, so he growled and roared, "TROOPER! IF YOU DON'T SHOOT I SWEAR ON YOUR FUTURE GRAVE I WILL DESTROY YOU!"
Lau began to shiver, he was aware of everything around him, and was incredibly nervous. But it wasn't just that.
He didn't want to fire either.
All of a sudden, Kylo screamed once more, "FIRE NOW!" and Lau reluctantly started to pull the trigger.
However, before he could get the chance, the HH reached its optimal strength and fired its super-lazar, terminated the 716th floor and the main deck and completely destroyed the area that everyone was crowded up in. Then everyone began to fall, the stormtroopers screamed and panicked, but Kylo was confident, he used the force to freeze everyone where they were. Then they flew back up to the ship. Luckily, the HH crew hadn't noticed that they survived and flew back down to the surface of their planet. They went inside and then Kylo walked up to Lau, he pushed him down and screamed in his face.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU SHOOT YOU PATHETIC FOOL?! WHY?! YOU NEARLY GOT US KILLED!" he bellowed, much to Lau's dismay.
"I COULDN'T! THERE WAS NO POWER LEFT IN THE LAZAR!" Lau cried, lying through his skin. Kylo let go of him and allowed him to get up. He stood there silently, pondering over what to say, for a few seconds.
"Hmph, you're lucky that you're so good with your ass-saving excuses. Next time I won't forgive OR forget. I'm going to the control room now, when I come back you better not be here, or else. In fact, if you ever show your face in this hall again, I will lock you up in the dungeon with the Insanity..." Kylo snarled. Everyone else gasped, they knew that 'The Insanity' was their nickname for a great warrior of the dark side from many years ago, but he saw something nobody else would dare to witness, and turned insane, he would literally torture anyone who messed with him, and there were thousands of rumours going round about him over the next 50 years after he turned insane. For example, it was said that when someone died, he would tap them on the forehead with his index and middle finger of his left hand, and they would either light on fire or wither until they're nothing but bones and dust. Another example being that every year, on the anniversary of the day he turned insane, he would teleport out of the dungeons and take revenge on anyone who didn't side with him, it was called the rumour of the 'Maddening Bloodshed', however both of those rumours are believed to be false now. There are more rumours but they're a little too disturbing.
Lau began to shudder at the thought of being locked up in that damned skull pit. Kylo gave Lau one last, "HMHPH!" before stomping off. Everyone else looked at Lau and waited for him to do or say something, but as soon as Kylo was gone, Lau shook his head emotionally and darted out of the hall, back into his special hideout.
December 18th Cont.
I'm not saying much more for today, except one thing.
This is it. I'm done, finished. Kylo won't know what hit him, because I'll hit him so hard he'll die.
The Dark Side is dead to me, gone, destroyed.
I don't care about anything anymore, not even myself.
All I want is for Kylo to burn in the fiery depths of hell.
AND HE WILL.
