Star Wars: Hidden Fates

Chapter 10: Attack

 A few hours later, Leilani infused the detonators with the Light Side of the Force and put them into a ship. She started pressing buttons and moving levers to prepare it for flight. Trinity-Sky and Bastila boarded the ship and buckled up.

"Is your Padawan a good pilot?" Bastila watched Leilani start taking the ship off from the ground.

Trinity-Sky shook her right hand. "Eh... She's working on it. She still has much to learn but she hasn't crashed... yet."

Bastila rolled her eyes and replied sarcastically, "Well that is reassuring. It is a good idea to bring me along with your inexperienced Padawan."

"I assure you, Master Shan, that I read the instruction manual carefully." Leilani moved the ship up into the sky. "Stealth mode is activated." She smirked and turned her head to look at Bastila. "See? I know what I am doing."

Trinity-Sky rolled her eyes. She was not amused. "You can roast Bastila when you are a Knight. For now, she is your superior. The both of you need to stop acting like children. Stop being impatient to one up another. You both need to work on that."

Bastila was annoyed at her. "I don't need a lecture. Of course I know I am not supposed to one up a Padawan. Look, let's get this done so we can be on our way."

"This has to be done right. We need to be quick but cannot rush the plan." Trinity-Sky helped Leilani with the landing as they approached their destination.

Once they safely landed, Trinity-Sky ordered Leilani to stay in case they needed a quick exit. Then, she and Bastila carried the box of detonators to the engine room.

"I sense the Sith Lord is on this ship." Trinity-Sky helped put the box down. "Along with some Dark Jedi and Sith Acolytes. I wonder why–"

"Forget that, have you noticed that we had no trouble getting here?" Bastila extended her arms to point out the open area.

"Let's set the detonators off and quickly return. I sense there is someone immersed in the Dark Side in the hangar. Hopefully my Padawan is okay."

Leilani was taking a nap in her seat until she heard a noise come from the outside top of the ship. "Huh?" She rubbed her face to wake herself up.

Then the person used the force to open the exit to the ship.

"What the?" Leilani got out of her seat to investigate. To her surprise, she saw an alien Sith Acolyte. "You're no Sith." She yawned because she was still tired. "What's the catch? You kill me and someone takes you as their apprentice?"

"I guess not. Just like you're no Jedi. I always thought Padawans were dumb" The alien ignited his lightsaber. "As for your question, bringing a lightsaber will get me a Sith Master."

Leilani walked toward the Sith Acolyte with a plan in mind as she used her left hand to grab her lightsaber. "Here you go."

The Sith Acolyte was confused. "I guess I am right that Padawans are dumb. I also need to–."

Leilani used the force to pull him to her. She tossed him over herself with her arms and one of her legs. She grabbed her lightsaber that had been dropped. Then she closed the exit door. Her goal was to defeat the Sith Acolyte in physical combat.

She got in a defensive position and was rocking on her legs, waiting for her opponent to make the next move. The Sith Acolyte recovered and was angry.

Leilani dodged and kicked him on the back. She jumped backwards and waited for her opponent to move again. Her Master valued defensive physical combat.

The fight persisted for a few minutes before Leilani had an opening to ram him into a wall to knock them out. She groaned as she rushed and pushed with her shoulder as hard as she could.
