Memories of the Past

Chapter 14

My Jedi instincts kicked in, and I was at the security breach within seconds. Captain Solo was running about the corridors locking all the doors. Chewbacca was still flying the ship.

Solo was yelling for me to get to the cockpit while he dealt with the troopers. I refused, saying that I am highly capable of defending myself against stormtroopers. He gave up trying to order me around and let me stay.

I could hear them cutting through. I shed my cloak and brought my sabers to my palms. The door busted open, and troopers surged in. I deflected each blast with perfect aim.

Once they came close enough, I cut their blasters in half. However, I didn't kill a single one of them. After that trial, being framed for all those murders, I will never kill a living trooper again.

Solo took it upon himself to dispose of the unarmed troopers. Within minutes, they were all downed. I almost relaxed, but I felt a presence. Vader knew I was here.

"Get to the cockpit!" I shouted to Solo. He didn't move. "Trust me on this! The ship needs to get out of here as fast as possible!" He muttered something under his breath about Jedi being a pain, and left.

I secured my sabers back on my belt. I heard troopers coming. I also heard the sound of mechanical breathing, getting closer.

I decided to try something. Vader was too attached to me to kill me, so I had some room for error. As I sat down on he floor, I saw Vader and his escort.

They began to fire as Vader ignited his crimsom blade. Nothing touched me. I held my hands out in front of me and created a wall in front of me with the force. They still hadn't crossed over on to our ship yet, so I used the force to amplify my voice.

"Solo, I got the door just get us out of here!" The only response I got was a jolt from the ship as it began to move again.

I forced pushed the attackers back a bit further and made my way over to close the door. I fell to the floor, exausted, as the ship entered hyperspace.
