Chapter 6
Blasters blazing, detonators flying and exploding. The entire white corridor was littered with a blazing spectrum.
As the white-armored entities mopped up their remaining adversaries, they stood to either side, awaiting for a dark suit of armor to walk slowly. The clanking of his metal footsteps were as audible as the shriek of a krayt dragon, as were his breathing.
"Find the princess. Capture her," the figure said as he strafed onward, with his minions following.
The young warrior fell into a dark pit. For over a few decades he felt his spirit was trapped, until today, where he was free.
Where am I? the figure thought, How did I arrive here?
His black surroundings suddenly turned into a deathly hue of red.
So, you have finally made it.
He turned, and saw a figure completely concealed in black armor, save for his head, which was extremely pale, with a large cut on his head. Bits of his armor missing from him showed that he was in a battered state.
Unfortunately, you stay will not be long.
His voice sounded deep and monotonous, but at the same time it sounded like a regular being's, with decades of age on him.
He then raised a hand, and the other being felt his neck was being grabbed and was subsequently thrown into a wall of nothingness.
He raised a hand again, and his opponent felt a surge of energy coming towards him, but he raised his hand as well, and caught the energy with a surge of his own. The two beings thrusted their hands forward, in an attempt to be the dominator.
Moments after he issued the order, Starkiller met with two Stormtroopers, with a white-robed female captured.
"Princess Leia," the apprentice hissed, "I must say it is an honor to meet you at last."
"Don't try to sweet talk to me, assassin," the Princess retorted, "I know your game, and that you're the Emperor's mindless servant."
"I assure you, your Highness. That is the least of my interests. Take her away!"
The two troopers left with the Princess, and at the same time, another pair arrived with a black-clothed human.
"Have you found the plans, Lieutenant?"
"No, my Lord." replied the officer. "We searched every area of this ship, and there was no sign of the plans of the Death Star."
The young officer had a slight hint of fear in his throat, knowing that he does not wish to make the apprentice upset.
"No...I can feel it nearby..."
"My Lord!"
Starkiller turned, and saw another Imperial officer walking towards him.
"My accomplice and I saw an escape pod jettison from the ship, but no life forms were aboard." said the officer. "I wanted to open fire on it, but he assured it was unnecessary."
"She must've hidden the plans in the escape pod." he signaled to two nearby Troopers. "You two, ensure the execution of Lieutenant Praji immediately. Now, we must recover the plans."
"Shall I sent the nearest Sandtrooper Garrison to recover the plans?"
"No...I'll recover them myself."
