"Gah!" Lau shouted. He landed on the floor in the control room. Crawling up to the panel, he groaned in agony.
"I'm not gonna last long am I?" he sniffled.
"No..." a rusty voice whispered from behind. Lau looked up in surprise.
"It can't be..." he muttered, before rolling around.
"And yet me, it is..." the green ghost laughed.
"Yoda?!" he shouted, trying to sit up.
"My son, done well, you have..." Yoda smiled.
"I'm sorry Yoda, I failed... this is all my fault, I should never have joined the First Order-"
"And yet join the First Order, you did... Okay it is young student. While you haven't much longer left, the war, thanks to you, has only just begun."
Lau fell silent. Perhaps Yoda was right? This was the end for everyone.
"But please make the most of your last moments, I ask, for the sake of the whole galaxy," Yoda murmured as he began to fade. Lau hung his head in shame and nodded.
"Okay... Okay... this is it," he said.
"Good luck, I wish you. Of you, those who love you are proud," he responded.
"Love? Ha!" he chuckled, "Nobody likes me. That's why I don't care about dying. I'm not afraid, I'm glad. Good riddance to me. As far as I'm concerned, I deserve this. I have nothing to lose. I lost everything a VERY long time ago."
Lau got up confidently, suddenly feeling all his old energy flowing back into him. He rushed over to the control panel and grabbed hold of the central lever.
"Like I said, I don't care if I die, all I care about, is that this ends... right here, right now!" he yelled as he pulled the lever with his useable hand. Everything began to shake then, and the sun completely burnt out. After all this time, this was it. Lau pressed one more big red button, and boom. An invincible ray of sunlight blasted towards the fire cloud at top speed, ripping through its core, causing it to erupt. Golden energy spurting all over the place. By now Yoda had disappeared.
Lau turned his head once more, and saw the self-destruct button.
He then realised something.
He would have to pilot the ship, now declared to be known as the Supernova XIV, into the golden energy in order to self-destruct and distort the path of the energy into another galaxy.
Unless...?
"THE AUTOPILOT BUTTON!" he cried, before smashing one more big red button, and setting up a chain reaction of events in the ship's interface so that it would detonate within range anyways.
The next thing he knew he was flying back down to the surface, containing over a billion electrical volts.
But was it the voltage that was so fatal?
