Fire Across The Galaxy
part 6 of 10
Author's note: Wow, this fanfic is almost over! Only four more parts, and then this will be my first completed fanfic! I don't count my other fanfic as it was a one-shot. Oh yeah, I was supposed to tell you about my surpise. Well, here it is.. I am currently writing Star Wars Rebels: Season 2, episode one; The Siege of Lothal. The first episode should be finished by the time I'm done with FATG. Enjoy!
The rebels will not escape. No whisper of doubt or disbelief grew inside him even as his prosthetic legs carry him into the bay, himself a dark thorn in the vine of white stormtroopers, and, through the helmet that had became his second skin, watched silently as a stolen and vandalized TIE swiftly glided up through a web of red blasterfire.
Through the cockpit, he caught the glimpse of a green twil'lek clothed in a pilot's uniform, the escaping Jedi standing to the twi'lek, his hand resting against the back of the pilot's chair, and three figures, shadows cloaking their face, behind them. The rebels.
"Aim for the TIE's wings," He commands, his voice booming through the clashing of the blasterfire. His prosthetic legs stride through the sea of stormtroopers, easily cutting through as the soldiers quickly step aside, creating a path for the Darth.

He had an array of TIEs to choose from, it mattered not to him how their pilot would object to his taking of their ship. But, he had one in mind.
It's wings werecurved towards the cockpit, unlike the other TIE's straight wings, and he knew its owner would say nothing about his taking it. Its owner was dead, most likely laying somewhere, a still burning hole in its chest or missing an head. There were many ways the Inquisitor could have died. And he cared not which way the pau'an had died. All he cared about was watching as the rebels's TIE burst into flames, the target of a well aimed shot.
And, as Darth Vader climbs into the TIE, his gloved fingers wrapping around the control, watching as the rebel TIE launches out of the bay to the vacuum of space, he knew it would happen soon.
