After Leia, Olivia, Obi-Wan and the rescuers had left we headed up a flight of stairs before running into another squad of troopers. We'd gotten all but one of them, whom which we forced into telling us where the weapons were before knocking him out, tying him up and shoving him in a nearby closet. I'll admit that part was pretty fun.

The weapons were a few stories up in the control room, which we'd have to take by storm. There was not going to be an easy way of getting in there or a way to get in there without setting off the alarms. So either we would succeed or we would get captured again, most likely assuring our deaths.

My head was still throbbing like crazy, I was pretty sure my jaw was cracked and when I pressed my fingers against my neck I could feel where the bruises were from when Vader was choking me. I wonder if my wounds would exist in the real world.

I ignored the pains as much as I could as we continued up to the next floor.

We'd figured out, with the last squad, that the weakest part of the storm-trooper's armor was the joints. When we shot there it usually brought them to the ground in a matter of seconds and then it was easy to finish them off.

"Alright, everyone still accounted for?" Han whispered as we stood outside the doorway to the control room. Nicky glanced around, counting us in her head. She nodded and Han's hand slowly reached up for the button to open the door. "Everyone ready?" He got a quiet mumble of 'yes's.

Everyone was on either side of the hall holding up their storm-trooper blasters, aiming them at the door so we would be ready to fight the instant they were seen.

The button was pressed and the door flew up. Every head in the control room jerked around to see who was entering. They were quite shocked when we all came through the door, screaming our battle cries.

We took down a quarter of the room before they reacted and the few who had guns shot. The rest franticly searched for a weapon.

I shot multiple troopers and officials before we finally made our way to the safe.

"Anyone have any clue how to open it?" Haven asked as she shot an official, worry deep in her voice.

"I've got an idea." Han declared before shooting at the lock. The door opened and began swaying. Han reached inside and pulled out his blaster before tossing his old one to Nicky. Luke quickly pulled out my and his lightsabers.

"You have any idea whose is whose?" He asked me. They looked almost exactly the same, but I could feel the one on the left calling out to me. I nodded and snatched it. I lit the purple blade and smiled at it.

"Look out world!" I yelled before charging into the crowd, slicing into trooper after trooper. Who knew so many of them could all fit into this room?

Everything was going great (Well, other than the fact Luke was sticking to the blaster since he couldn't figure out how to turn on his lightsaber. I would tell him, but it was kind of fun to watch him struggle with it) until I heard the sound of a door opening behind me.

I whipped around and saw Darth Vader himself standing in the doorway. He began slowly stalking towards me as the room slowly emptied until it was just us and Vader. Haven was unfortunately in his war path and was quickly thrown across the room. Everyone was frozen in fear.

He stopped 5 feet in front of me. "I see you were foolish enough to try to escape." He sneered.

"That'd be us." I said with way more confidence than I actually had as he drew and lit his lightsaber. I held mine up straighter, trying to look confident.

The others slowly come to their senses, but don't dare go for the door because Vader is standing too close to the only one.

"I'm not going to wait for Kenobi this time, I am going to kill you and you are going to suffer." And then he lunged. I raised my blade and blocked the sudden blow. I can't see his eyes, but it feels like he's staring directly into my soul.

I pushed up on the blade, causing his to release its pressure on me. I jumped back and Vader followed, just as planned. I made eye contact with Nicky before glancing at the door. She nodded, getting the message. She quickly got Han and Haven and they began to inch towards the door. Luke stayed put though, and fiddled with his lightsaber trying to turn it on. Still.

Vader follows my glance and spots Luke, who promptly looks up to see Vader staring at him. With a graceful leap Vader (yes, I just said 'graceful' and 'Vader' in the same sentence) was in front of Luke.

"How do I turn it on?" Luke shouted to me, desperately trying to get the lightsaber on. I quickly force-pushed Luke out of the way as Vader's lightsaber cut deep into the floor.

"Press the button idiot!" I shouted back, leaping across the room to distract Vader from not-very-smart-in-scary-situations Luke. It worked and he came for me, swinging wildly. I managed to block or dodge each one.

"Which button?" I rolled my eyes before doing a backwards jump, landing next him.

"Did you not pay a single bit of attention to Obi-Wan?" I snapped as I pressed a button and the blue blade emerged from the hilt. "Remain calm during a battle, fear makes your mind scramble!" Where did this informant come from, you ask? Not experience, I'll tell you that. It's most likely from watching Star Wars almost every night when I was younger.

He lunged at Vader and I already knew he wasn't going to be much of a help. Perhaps even an annoyance.

Vader easily block Luke's pitiful swing and I could see Luke's entire body shake under Vader's powerful impact.

I push against Vader's blade with my own, taking the pressure off of Luke. Vader raised his hand and next thing I knew Luke was across the room.

"Just leave! This is my battle and you're not going to be any help until you learn to use that!" I yelled at Luke. His face reflected hurt for a split second before switching to understanding and slight relief as he fled the room.

I kinda felt guilty for yelling at him, but only for a second. A second was all I had to focus on it.

The battle became faster and more intense after Luke left, which was both exciting and scary at the same time.

Block, dodge, block, dodge, block, try to hit, fail to hit, dodge, duck. That's how my end of the battle went for a good while, until I got a break.

I saw an opening and I took it, my purple blade cutting into his side. He cried out in horrible pain and I could see a ring of the dark side erupt from him. Next thing I next I was being thrown through the air by it.

My head slammed into a wall and I almost lost consciousness. My head felt like it was exploding at that point. Both of my hands went up to hold it, my lightsaber unknowingly slicing into the wall. My eyes tightly shut and every single cell in my head scream out in pain.

When I opened my eyes Vader was clutching his side, but that didn't last long. He quickly spotted me and began staggering towards me.

"You!" He pointed his red blade at me and spoke in a raspy accusing voice that was full of hate. "You are going to die in the most horrible way!"

I just glared at him from the floor, finding myself unable to move or speak.

His red blade swung and stopped so that the point was in front of my neck. "Any last words?" I quickly searched my mind for something that will anger him every more, just for the sake of it.

"Yes; Ahsoka is alive and she calls you 'Darth Skyguy'." I get out and smile. Vader made a sounded like a growl and swings.

I closed my eyes as tight as they could get and thought please George, please George, please George over and over, hoping he'd bring my back at the last second.

I waited and... waited. Then I felt something, but it wasn't a lightsaber in my throat. No, I felt a light sprinkle of sparks land on my face.

I opened one eye and saw a blue blade blocking Vader's, mere inches away from my face. Luke couldn't have been that stupid, which means it must be… Obi-Wan!

I followed the blue blade with my eyes and confirmed that it was Obi-Wan! But wasn't he supposed to be with Leia and Olivia?

Obi-Wan winked at me and pushed up on his blade and twist it, causing Darth's to fly out of his hand.

Obi-Wan grabbed my hand and pulled me up. We ran through the door and were greeted by a hallway of storm-troopers and I knew right then I wasn't going to make it if I had to fight my way through this crowd. He seemed to sense that and with a quick push of his hands the entire squad was pushed over and against the walls.

We ran as fast as we could through the fallen troopers to the hanger.

"AFTER THEM, YOU FOOLS!" Vader's voice echoed down the hallway after us. We quickened our pace and soon came to what we were looking for: the hanger.

Sorry I'm late guys, but I've had pretty bad writer's block, despite the fact that I knew what I was doing. Also I'm sorry if it sounds a bit rushed at the end (or during the whole thing) but it is 12:12 at night and I have to babysit my 2 year-old cousin all day tomorrow, so I really need to get to sleep. See you guys soon and don't forget to review!
