The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 29

Hours passed. I sat there. There was nothing else for me to do but sit there and cry.

I don't know how much time had passed, but the stormtroopers eventually came to move me to the Jedi extermination facility. Yipee.

I gave them no trouble. The rest of the rebels can handle themselves just fine. I'm there only for guidance, so they should be able to function without me. I have to be brave to accept my death. I had to be strong until the end, and place my hope with the rebels if I can't figure out a way to escape.

The troopers took me to a remote part of the facility. There were two doors. One led to a large room and the other outside. My guess was inside is immediate execution and oustide people can meander around the planet and either be hunted down or die by the landscape. Neither sounded fun.

They took me inside the door that led to a large room. Great. Immediate death. I was led to an interrogation-looking chair. There were mutliple in the room, but all were empty.

I didn't know what to do. There was no way to escape. Shockingly enough, the empire didn't take my lightsabers. Epic fail on their part.

I decided to make my move. I jumped up and kicked both guards in the head. They fell over, stunned. I bolted for the exit. One of them hit the alarm button. Red lights started flashing as I cut my cuffs open with a saber.

With both hands now free, I had a saber in each hand and ran towards the hanger. I forgot where I parked the fighter, so that isn't going to work anymore.

Troopers shot at me as I bolted down the halls. I deflected each blast and kept running. I turned a corner, but almost ran into the Inquisitor.

No words were exchanged. We just fought. He did his cool think with his double that makes it spin. I timed it almost perfectly and stopped the spinning. He went on the offensive while I used my size to my advantage. I was smaller, thinner, and quicker on my feet than him.

Sabers clashed for a solid 10 minutes before I was able to break away towards the hangar. I was shot at, but nothing hit me. I just kept running. I found a shuttle, took off, and left the system.
