The Rule of the Sith

Chapter XII: Power

        Traya sliced the heads off of two stormtrooper's heads. Their bodies fell to the ground and the other two stormtroopers tried to run. Traya immediately flung them towards him and impaled them each with one lightsaber, and their bodies fell alongside their comrades. Traya ran for an elevator, pressing a button that disabled the cameras in the corridor before he reached it. He used the Force to quickly open the elevator doors and stepped inside. Traya stood still while the elevator followed his instructions and went to the observation deck. 

        As the elevator stopped at the deck, Traya blew the doors off of the elevator and stepped out. A man had finished killing a group of stormtroopers. He turned around. Traya stared into the man's face.

        "A Sith! I knew I felt a powerful presence. I thought Palpatine himself was here. You... you must be Darth Traya. I heard you were dead... but apparently you're as powerful as ever. Unfortunately, I've fought your Master, and I narrowly escaped from the battle. Prepare to be defeated, Sith scum," the Jedi finished.

        "On the contrary Jedi," a metallic voice said, "it is you who will be defeated. I've always wanted to kill you Master Fisto. I wish you the best of luck,"

        Kit Fisto's green lightsaber flew from his belt. To Fisto's surprise, it did not go into his own hands, but rather into Traya's. Surprised by the Sith's speed and power, Fisto stood momentarily stunned, and that was all the time Traya needed. He threw the lightsaber through the elevator behind him, letting it fall into the deep shaft below. During this, Traya's own saber was taken from him by Fisto. Luckily, Traya had his secondary lightsaber. He drew his saber and began to battle the Jedi Master.

        Kit Fisto knew he would soon be defeated. The Sith was stronger than he'd originally expected. But Fisto knew all he had to do was survive. If he was struck down, he could escape, like last time. However, he knew that Palpatine would never let him live again. Then, the Jedi Master knew what he must do to prevent his own suffering. He did a back flip and dropped the lightsaber. The Sith didn't even seem to notice. He just kept on dealing blows to Fisto. Master Fisto used the Force and numbed the pain. He smiled and fell to the ground, seeing a vision of Grand Master Yoda. 

        "Done well, you have, Kit. Served the Order well, you have. A worthy sacrifice you have made. A great man you have been. Be proud you must. Good bye, Kit Fisto," the vision finished. The smile stayed on Kit's face, and his body loosened its resistance. Kit Fisto was defeated.

        Traya looked down on the dead Jedi. Well, whatever this was wasn't looking, but it was close enough. He formed his cybernetic hand into a fist. There wasn't much left in general that the Sith could call natural. He was more machine than man. He was the second strongest man in the Galaxy. He had power. The only man with more was his Master. Traya needed power. After all this time he only had one goal. All he wanted was all the power.

                                                                All he wanted was to save her.
