They steps were slower than they should be, but Emily's was even slower. She was good 10 feet behind the whole group, she didn't even have her gun in her hands. She could get the fact that Ghost was dead, she has done over 100 repair,and maintenance missions with him over the years, she was used to seeing him. She would never forget the day of their first mission together, nothing special happened, he just acted like a dork, and almost crashed the shuttle, other than that it was another day, another mission. He was assigned to them as their shuttle pilot, for the one before him was killed on the job, when a rouge piece of debri crashed into the shuttle. Her walk slowed down even more to a crawl, she wasn't even paying attention, when she walked into the wall. She didn't fall over she just stood there facing the wall. She felt the wall shake a little and the vent that was on the wall busted when a slasher jumped through it, she didn't even notice it, she heard blaster fire, but it sounded like it was far away, and behind a closed door, she was brought back to the world when she was shook violently, and slapped a couple of times. She looked up at the person who shook her and saw that it was the silent commando.

Eddie walked over to her. "What is your problem?! Don't give me the bull shit of your closet friend died." He leaned close to her, almost face to face. "I had to watch two of my friends die." He walked on a little and turned his head to look at her. "If you can't keep up, you'll be left behind got that?! I said do you got that?!"

She didn't say anything just nodded her head. She only gave a little bit of effort to keeping up. But she was brought back to the world again, when she tipped over something. "Ow what the hell?!" She rubbed her head looking for what she tripped over. She than saw the face of a dead Republic Trooper. "Oh" She stood up, and looked back at the group who was still going on. The trooper's com-link came to life, This is your captain speaking, all ship personal are to be terminated, we do not want anyone leaving this ship, ounce that is done... you know what to do, kill all ship personal, and anyone troopers who will not follow this order, the fate of the entire galaxy is in your hands, do the right thing."

She looked down at the dead trooper processing this. "Oh shit." She rushed up to the rest of the group. "Guys guys!"

Eddie let out a sigh. "I told you we would leave you behind."

She looked at him in confusion. "What? No, i just over heard the captain speaking to the troopers over com-links, and he gave them order to kill anyone they see."

They seemed to be taken back. "Oh.. Well umm, we better be careful, besides i bet we won't run into any troopers, they will be dealing with the creatures more."

Just than they heard some yelling down the halls, and when they looked they saw a group a survivors running, one was begging at what ever was chasing them to stop, but he was shot in the head, troopers than came into sight, and shot the other survivors. One of them spotted them. "There's more down there!" They than started to charge them shooting at them. Emily was than filled with complete desire to kill them all.

She smiled, and dropped her bag, and pulled out her light saber, and activated it. She noticed some of them slowed down a bit when they saw her pull it out, but they continued their assault. She started to laugh, and she charged them. They started to shoot at her, but she easily reflected their laser bolts. She than crashed into the ones that were in the front of their formation, she started to hack, and slash at all that was before her. They tried to fight back, but they got no were, she just cut them down like she was a MK.42 Tree harvester, and they were the trees. Some tried to run, but she simply grabbed him with the force, and slammed him into a wall till his head exploded like a pimple. She than threw his body, at another trooper that was trying to flee knocking him to the ground. She than lunged at him, cutting off all of his limbs. She smiled down at the armless, and legless man, as he screamed from the pain, he than with eye's full of tears begged her to spare him, she just laughed at the thought of letting him live. "You guys should of thought of that before you killed my friend."

She than took a grenade from one of the dead troopers, pulled the pin, and than put it into the man's mouth, she backed up a few meters, and watched as it exploded. She smiled, and laughed as she looked at what burning remains were left of the man. She than felt a thud on the back of her head, and all went dark.

When she opened her eyes she was in a sea of darkness, she looked around, but saw nothing. Just than a glowing red object faded out of the darkens, she recognized it as the marker that is on the other ship. She looked at questionably. "How the hell did you get here." She did another look around. "OK were in the galaxy is here any way right?" She looked at the marker. She laughed nervously. "And i'm talking to a rock. A red glowing rock that creates monsters."

A voice was than heard behind her. "No it doesn't." She quickly turned around to see Ghost.

"How? You're dead."

He laughed. Obi Wan was dead, yet he helped guide a young Luke. So me being dead doesn't mean i can't speak with you."

She looked around him nervously. "Yeah, but Obi Wan was a Jedi, you're not. Besides the point, what did you mean but it doesn't?"

He smiled. "It doesn't make monsters, just changes the form a dead being."

Again she took another look around. "Yeah it may change a dead person, changes them into a killing monster."

Again he smiled. "They only kill those who do not embrace the marker in unity of mind, body, and soul. And to those who do embrace this know that death is only the beginning."

She turned back to the marker. "Were are we?" She turned back to Ghost, but he had another person next to him, another old dead friend, her old Jedi master. "Master Chie ? Your here to?" She looked to Ghost who was looking at him, in the way one would look at his enemy. She guessed he wasn't here with Ghost. "What do you have to say about the marker Master?"

He sighed. "My poor poor Emily, Do you know what you have done?" She shook his head. He looked at her with worry in his eyes. "You killed 32 men, in the most monstrous way, so full of hate, and anger, you are so close to the Dark sides door, that you are all but lost." He pointed to Ghost. "This man is not the friend that yo knew, and trusted, just an hallucination made up by the marker to trick you into doing what it wants, like it almost did some other poor man, far far from here. Do not listen to him."

Ghost looked from Master Chie, and that to Emily, than back to Master Chie. "I'm pretty sure she would be able to recognize her most closet friend old man, maybe it is you, who is here to lie, and to trick." He looked at Emily. Tell him, that i am Ghost and that he is a fool, to believe other wise."

She looked to one to the other. "Ghost what is it you want with me?"

He sighed, "To do what is right, to return the marker to the planet, to make it whole. This can be ended if you only return it to the planet's surface, back to the place it was found."

She glared at Ghost but than back to Master Chie. "What is it you want with me?"

He smiled. "Nothing, i am here only to warn you, to tell you not to listen to him, you know i never force anyone to do anything. The only thing i make people do, is make, and keep a promise, but if you listen to him, and return that marker back to the place it was found, it will create, and unleash, a power so grand, that it would dwarf the power of both Death Stars put together."

She looked to Ghost. "Nice try Marker Man. I now know that you are the one here to trick me. The marker's last attempt tried to make me do the same thing, i mean really, is this the bet you can do?" She than pulled out her lightsaber, and slashed the marker in half, The red glow flickered than faded, and when she turned back she saw that Ghost was no were to be seen.

"Good job my child, now go, hurry, you know what you need to do know." Everything than faded into opened her eyes with a start, and coughed a little, she looked around, but she didn't see any of her friends. He hands, and her feet tied, and it seemed that she was placed in a locker of some kind, she was stripped of all her weapons, and tools. She stood up, but wobbled a little, and she couldn't move very much, she tried to walk, but she just ended up, falling back wards, and hitting the wall. She slid to the floor, but the lights turned on. It was some kind of Engineer's supply closet. She stood up again, and managed to get her self over to the table, there she found, a blow torch, she turned it on, and used it to cut to strands off her wrists, and feet.

She than opened the door, and peered out, she saw the massive blood stain were she killed all the troopers, some of their guns were on the floor, she rushed over and picked one up, she checked it, and it seemed to be all god. She than looked around for any signs of were her friends went. She looked down at the blooded ground, she than looked around the surrounding area, and saw at least 4 dead bodies. "Great 28 creatures, that could still be in the area. She heard a loud roar, but when she looked behind her, she saw the blast doors has been closed. "Well that's one good thing," She figured that the rest of the group went to the bridge. So she she took off running down the path she believed they went, judging by the signs on the wall she was going in the right way.
