The grey jedi

Chapter 6- The escape

Energy was surging through his body as he felt his heart pounding like a drum. Heat emanated off of his body releasing vapors of steam. He ripped off the straps and glared at the admiral. For the first time, he saw the admiral's icy demeanor had melted away leaving him to cower in a puddle of fear. After a few moments of awe, the admiral regained what was left of his demeanor and managed to bark a set of orders.

"SEIZE HIM!" The admiral shouted.

In the corner of his eyes, the stormtroopers rushed onto the stage with their guns all pointed at him. Suddenly, his vision overlapped with another in the background the fires raged on producing the same dreaded plumes of smoke that rose into the night sky that covered the moons. He remembered the smoke that filled his lungs burning him from the inside out. He saw the clone troopers and behind all of them was a black armoured soldier wielding a red lightsaber. That memory unlocked the cage within him and the beast was unleashed. With the force violently thrashing within him, he raised his arms and clasped his hands, crumpling the guns as if they were made of tissues. Even though he finished his movement, the wild streams of all his different emotions rage, sadness, guilt, and more all churned together to form an explosive reaction.

"AGH! AGGGGH!" The stormtroopers screamed as their armour squeezed them as if they were being tightened by a vice. They all fell to the ground, he watched them scramble and try to claw their way out of the stage.

A smile formed on his face.

"PLEASE STOP! NO MORE SCREAMING!" the child screamed.

The child's voice threw him out of his trance and he ran towards the back of the town hall.

"CAPTURE HIM!" Shouted the Admiral as he voice boomed across the halls.

He smashed the card controller next to the doors in the back causing it to be opened. He ran down the long corridor, his eyes fixated on the the next target to get out.

"Hisss!" The pipes burst with steam causing him to jump to the side.

He didn't even realise that there were pipes snaked alongside in the corridor, within the next moment he ran down the corridor again. His eyes darted around as he heard every whirr and creak within the pipes. Just like the pipes, he suddenly felt the immense pressure within his head unknown when he would finally burst. It affected his vision as it became more blurred leading to form a silver cloud but somehow, he could just manage to see the door. His head was wobbling with the enormous weight of blood circulating within his skull making each step an arduous challenge. Finally, he reached the end and found himself in the kitchen. A few steps forward his legs gave away. He lay there on the floor inhaling the thick layers of dust that surrounded him which immediately sent him into a fit of coughs. His chest tightened forcing his breathing to become rapid and shallow. The walls were closing in as his heart was violently beaten into a pulp.

"I need to slow down. I need to control myself" he thought.

But he could not control himself, he tried to remember the Jedi teachings but doubts kept creeping into his mind and invading each thought turning every possible action into inaction. Then when the darkness set upon him, he felt a gentle touch on his forehead causing a wave of relaxation and warmth to smother him.

"The first domino has fallen, the path has been set, and your next set of decisions are crucial. Your actions can change the fate of this galaxy if you choose to," said the floating three-eyed blue alien.

"Is this real? Are you really here Goddess?" asked Travalax.

"Horvath to find success you must answer the question within yourself!" Demanded the alien.
