Okay, I'm going to do it. I'm actually going to do it, but only once so read carefully.
Disclaimer: I don't owner Star Wars, though Kari, Haven, Nicky and Olivia are my characters. Who though I was actually going to say something important?
Kari
"So since this world is just a 'movie'" Obi-Wan said movie like it was a foreign word he was still trying to understand, which I guess it was. "You know what is going to happen correct?" He asked as we snuck down yet another hallway.
"Yep,"
"Do we run into Vader?" Umm…
"Yes," I said, deciding to be honest since he could sense if I was lying.
"Who wins?"
"I, uh, forgot that part. Movies are easy to forget after all." They weren't, but he didn't know that.
"Ahh."
We crept along some more, stopping only when troopers crossed our paths.
We turned a corner and there he was. Darth Vader stood at the end of the hall waiting for us, lightsaber lit.
Obi-Wan slowly walked forward with, his lightsaber remained unlit at the moment. I carefully followed him, taking one step for every 3 steps he took.
Then he stopped and Vader walked forward. Obi-Wan lit his blue lightsaber and I followed suit. It was like a very slow showdown beginning.
"I've been waiting for you Obi-Wan. We meet again at last. And I see you now have a new Padawan to replace me with. Foolish child." Vader said as he walked closer and closer. He finally stopped directly in front of Obi-Wan, prepared for the fight that would follow. "My circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner. Now I am the master."
"Only a master of evil, Darth." Obi-Wan replied. I gathered my courage and moved forward to stand next to him.
Obi-Wan moved first, but Vader quickly blocked. He tried again with the same result. I saw an opening and tried for it. Vader easily blocked though and the hard blow made me stumble a little. I recovered quickly though and rejoined.
There were purple sparks, then red-ish purple sparks and then purple sparks again as we battled the Sith Lord.
Obi-Wan twisted around for his next move, but it was blocked same as the last. I tried and Vader was just barely able to dodge. Guess I'm more flexible.
Obi-Wan lunged and this time Vader was easily able to push him back. He did an awkward shuffle, trying to watch where his feet were going and on Vader at the same time. Finally he pulled away from the block and backed away as Vader wilding swung and hit the wall.
I distracted him from Obi-Wan by swinging my blade at Vader. He easily blocked it, just as I expect, but the force of the suddenly block made my arm hurt. He sensed my sudden weakness and pressed down harder on his blade, slowly forcing me closer to the ground. I was leaning backwards at this point and could hardly take the pressure anymore so I rolled out from under Vader's blade. It went a good bit into the floor, but he recovered quickly.
The next move was Obi-Wan's, though it wasn't exactly a move. He slowly skirted around Vader with his saber drawn, ready for an attack. I recovered a lot slower than the Jedi and Sith, and I had to keep reminding myself that the story could change. That he might live. I was hoping he would because if he didn't it was more than likely I wouldn't either.
"Your powers are weak old man." Vader stated as Obi-Wan took two steps backwards.
"You can't win Darth. If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." Obi-Wan retorted before making another attack. It, like all of them, was blocked they returned to their 'waiting for you to make a move' positions.
I had fully regained my strength by then and took a place next to Obi-Wan.
"You should not have come back." Vader said as Obi-Wan stared intently at him, waiting for him to make a move.
Vader swung his sword toward Obi-Wan's head and the battle break ended. Obi-Wan quickly swung his up to meet it. Vader worked quickly, moving back and forth blocking against Obi-Wan and I and trying to hit us.
Up, down, left, right. Blue, red and purple blades moved every direction and for a while it was a cloud of multicolored sparks.
The battle leaned towards Obi-Wan and I, then towards Vader and then back again.
All the while we were slowly backing up down the hallway, blocking everything Vader threw at us.
Then I suddenly felt a searing pain as Vader managed to find flaw in my defense. I barely suppressed a scream. He moved it away quickly, apparently wanting the battle to last longer, and moved to Obi-Wan.
I stole a glance down at my leg to see that the blade had scorched through my brown pants and had left a wound similar to a severe burn.
We came into the clearing where we could see the ship. The ship was fine, surrounded by storm-troopers, but fine. But I didn't see any of the others. Han, Nicky, Leia, Olivia, Luke and Haven were nowhere to be seen.
Vader used this moment of distraction against me and I soon found myself on the floor. My lightsaber helplessly rolled out of my reach. I felt something warm in my mouth and realized Vader had hit my jaw with his lightsaber hilt to send me to the floor.
His blade was in front of my neck before I could do anything. "You have a choice, Kenobi. It's you or the girl." So this is how he dies this time around. Well that was just great.
"Don't do it!" I said as my mind drifted to everything that could have gone differently if he had stayed alive. Maybe George could somehow bring me back seconds before Vader kills me, maybe? No, that was very unlikely.
Obi-Wan glanced back and forth between me and Vader. He stood up straight and shut-off his lightsaber. Vader moved his blade away from me and swung to kill Obi-Wan.
"No!" I shouted at the last second before using the force to push Obi-Wan out of the way and out into the hanger. He landed somewhere in the far end where I couldn't see. I smiled a grin of victory, but it left my face as I found myself being lifted up by the throat.
Vader held me up so we were eye to eye. "Go find him!" He shouted at the storm-troopers as he continued to grip my throat. He paid me no attention until the troopers came back, reporting that they could not find him. Then he began to actually choke me. "You are very lucky we could not find your master because I will not kill you unless he is able to watch. You made that choice." He said as I tried my very hardest to breath.
He then slammed the hilt of his lightsaber against my fore head and let me drop. I took deep sharp breaths from my place on the floor. "Take her away." Vader demanded. Two storm-troopers pulled me to my feet and pretty much dragged me down the hall. I soon lost consciousness.
•••
When I came to, I was on an uncomfortable shelf that was probably supposed to be a bed. Haven was sitting on the floor leaning against my shelf-bed, humming to some song in her head.
"Haven?" I asked, though my voice came out weak. My throat felt weird, like something was coating it.
"Kari! Guys she's awake!" She shouted as a smile spread across her face.
"Kari!" I heard Nicky and Olivia shout in unison. They were soon next to Haven, smiling just the same.
"Thank goodness you woke up!" Olivia said.
"What happened? Did you fight Vader?" Nicky asked, the anticipation high in her voice.
"I'm fine, thanks for asking." I said, choosing to ignore her questions. I pulled myself into a sitting position, but couldn't bring myself to stand up.
"Um, no you're not. You have a giant bruise on your forehead, we think your jaw might be cracked and you have a severe burn on your leg." Haven stated with a worried look on her face. Nicky nodded in agreement.
"Which proves either that you fell down one of those chasms or you fought Vader and lost." She said.
"The later." I said with a sigh. They exchanged glances, before returning to me.
"So Ben's dead?" Olivia asked.
"I don't think so." They perked up when they heard that.
"What do you mean?" Nicky asked intently.
"I mean right before Vader's blade hit him I used the force to push him across the room. The storm-troopers couldn't find him, so he's most likely still alive."
"Really? Well that's great, except for the fact that we're stuck in a prison cell and can't escape." Haven said, sitting down on the shelf that was her bed.
"Quit being such a downer, Haven. We've changed the story this much, so anything can happen." Nicky's attempt to give hope failed as Olivia fully realized the situation.
"Yes, a wampa could fall out of the nearest sun, break into the Death Star and free us all!" Olivia suggested, her voice full of sarcasm.
"Oh, come on guys. Kari, are you with me?" She asked hopefully.
"Sorry Nicky, I'm currently covered in wounds and laying on a metal shelf in a prison cell. I don't see much hope."
"Ugh! You guys are hopeless!"
"The situation is hopeless!" Olivia called from across the room. She had taken to her bunk too.
The room was quiet except for Nicky's occasional stammers.
"Guys! Listen to me! We are on an adventure. An adventure no one else got to go on, we were selected out of millions to do this!"
"They randomly picked the names Nicky!" Haven interrupted.
"Let me finish! And George thought we were so prepared for this, he didn't waste any time on training. He threw us in 'cause he knew we would succeed. He believes in us, so we should too." How Nicky knew all this, I have no clue. But it was convincing and inspiring.
"I-, I guess, you're right." Olivia admitted.
"Yeah, I think so too." Haven followed, leaving me to admit defeat alone.
"You're right Nicky, we should believe in ourselves." Nicky smiled wide at her success.
"Great! Now let's get started planning!"
A battle and an encouraging speech given by Nicky! I hope the battle was decent, as I am not very good at writing action. And I had a bit of trouble with speech too, so tell me your opinion on that. What do you think happened to Obi-Wan? Is he still alive? Is he going to be captured? When I checked the poll yesterday, 6 people had voted, but there were 2 people for each vote. So the votes were split evenly until somebody else voted and made it so that Obi-Wan would live. Thank you everyone who voted! You made a difference! Review Response time!
Anon: Hmm, I actually have that part planned out (yes, already) and it's going to be different because they're not actually going to be on Hoth (:0! I can't really tell anything now or else I'll give anyway the story even more! But, thank you for your suggestion and review! I'm glad you like it!
xxxRavensClawxxx: Yeah, that would fine! And if it's okay with you Olivia of my story could have a brother named Ben as well. Tell me when you start so I can read too!
See you soon guys!
