Maia POV
No! Dai! Ezra!
Ezra's otherwise bright blue eyes full of fun, energy and unfortunately also hurt, were dark blue. They were even more to black. The dark side had almost had him totally under his power, and I knew that every minute, every second, our chance to get him back again diminished. And even if we did, he would never recover full from it.
Both boys looked at me with a straight face, emotionless. They turned as the Inquisitor broke the silence. "Beautiful. Then we can finally deal with this."
Ezra POV
This was all known to me. I had dreamed about it and I knew what would follow.
Maia looked at me with those green eyes full of sincerity. For a moment I felt the dark go away, but I noticed there nothing about it again when the Inquisitor broke the silence. "Beautiful. Then we can finally deal with this. "
A nasty smile appeared on my face.
"Kill them." He commanded me.
Thanks to my dream I knew he wanted me to killed Dai also.
There were always two: the master and his apprentice. And for the place of the apprentice will be decided now.
I activated my home-built lightsaber and turned towards Dai. He stumbled backwards when it he realized it. He could not beat me.
"Wait!" Commanded my master. He threw something at Maia what she caught.
"We need to make it a bit fairer" He laughed darkness. "And more fun."
I also laughed when Maia activated a red lightsaber.
Maia POV
The Inquisitor threw me something that I caught out of reflex. It was the lightsaber that he had given me and later had decreased again.
"We need to make it a bit fairer"
Nonsense!
Both Dai and I had little experience with a lightsaber while Ezra ...
We could never win even though we were three including one without a lightsaber.
"And more fun."
Ah there you had it.
I activated the saber and stood up. At least I do not go without a fight. Who knows maybe I could buy time for something or someone. For a miracle.
Ezra laughed and attacked as first. And after his first attack you could clearly see that we did not stand a chance ...
and he knew it.
You could read it just from his face, confident that he would win.
Finally Dai also activated his lightsaber.
It was especially Ezra who attacked while we were doing our best to deflect all of his powerful strokes.
Dai cried out when his arm was hit. Ezra Force-pushed him what makes him flew against the wall. He sat there limp against the wall. Jonathan went straight to him and he started tapping his cheek in an attempt to get him awake while he meanwhile said his name.
But I had no time for distractions.
Ezra's strokes were getting more powerful. Eventually my lightsaber flew out of my hands to end up before the Inquisitor his feet.
"Finish her."
Ezra turned around and put his lightsaber, who had normally the same color as his eyes, into my chest. I felt the handle against my chest. I had my eyes closed. And it was really true that you saw your life flash before right before you died. Images with Ezra, my brothers, my parents. Sad and happy moments. And I was happy, but then I realized something.
I opened my eyes to meet Ezra's eyes, bright as they had always looked, staring at me.
Sad.
Full of pain
and guilt.
The saber fell out of his hands and he stumbled backwards, shaking his head.
There was no hole in my chest, he deactivated it just before it had to sink into my chest.
he eyes kept changing from dark to light. He took his head between his hands. "Useless. Each piece of you is useless." Said the Inquisitor angry. Ezra looked back at me, his eyes had assumed a color.
A satisfied smile appeared on my face.
He was back baby...
Ezra POV
It had just been a brief internal struggle. And I was pleased with the outcome.
I looked up again and saw Maia hopeful look at me, that hope was replaced by joy.
"You will die, but together with them."
The Inquisitor started his own double lightsaber and strikes.
I knew I could not escape my death because I did not react fast enough.
And then someone jumped in front of me.
"Noooooo!"
The saber sank in the chest. There was no blood. Because of the intense heat the wound was cauterized immediately.
The smell of burning flesh scattered, together with the groan of a dying person.
The Inquisitor smiled satisfied while he pulled the saber out of the body, which collapsed on the ground.
We 3 run at the person who was lying on the floor. Tears streamed down our faces.
