Star Wars: The Jedi Chronicles:Enter The Shadows (Books 1-4)

Chapter Seven: Andrew

Anthony has spent the last week on Telos IV. He has checked the Jedi temple and the snowy area so far.  Right now, he is in the valley when suddenly something big whizzes by him, knocking him down. Anthony looks around, trying to find what hit him. He stands up and gets hit from the opposite direction.

Anthony gets up and pulls out his lightsaber but doesn't turn it on. He times it perfectly, so just before Andrew hits him again, he hits Andrew in the nose with his hilt. Andrew flips around and lands on his stomach, breaking his nose.

Andrew wipes his face off. There is a flash of darkness and the bleeding stops. Andrew looks at Anthony for a moment, then darts toward him. Andrew turns on his purple lightsaber as Anthony activates his yellow staff.

Andrew comes at Anthony with inhuman agility, striking left and right. Anthony is defending with everything he’s got. He quickly realises that a staff won’t cut it. Andrew strikes low and misses. Anthony follows Andrew’s recoil then spins around.

While his back is toward his opponent, he uses the quick release to pull apart his lightsabers. Anthony starts attacking, one arm after another. Then he switches up his attack pattern and starts spinning. Andrew runs away with a gust of wind.

Anthony spins his sabers back to the front hand positions. He is still for a moment, waiting for Andrew. Andrew comes flying up behind Anthony and starts running at supersonic speed, creating a vortex. Anthony tries to break free, but he is knocked back into the vortex. He starts gasping for air.

Suddenly they both go flying. Andrew flips to his feet to see Willie standing a few yards away. Anthony is still trying to breathe. Andrew charges Will, who just stands still. At the right moment, he ducks to the right, opens his teal lightsaber and slashes Andrew’s legs.

Andrew drops and starts to tumble. Before he stops tumbling, he is back on his legs, completely healed. He turns around and the two step into each other. Their sabers clash, both pushing with everything they’ve got.

Andrew easily overpowers Willie, because he is so much bigger and older. Willie leans back a little bit and flips his legs up above his head. With Andrew pushing down on Willie he flips around Andrew. Willie’s lightsaber is now on top holding Andrew’s lightsaber to the ground.

His crystal is dangling from his neck. Willie jerks his lightsaber up in a s-shape cutting off his crystal. Willie catches the crystal before it hits Andrew’s lightsaber. Andrew passes out and his saber shuts off. Anthony walks up next to Will.

Anthony: Dude, that was sick!

Willie: Yeah. Now we got to get him in his ship and set the auto pilot to take him to The Rebellion.

Anthony: Yeah. Hey, thanks for coming and helping me out.

Willie: No problem.

The boys get Andrew in his ship and they fly back to The Rebellion. They meet up with Josh in the medical bay. They drop Andrew off for recovery and they turn to leave medical bay and there stands Cassandra, Jordin, and Dudley.

Josh S.: Dudley! I wasn’t expecting to see you.

Dudley: I wasn’t expecting to see me either... wait a second. Never mind. Jordin told me what’s goin’ on and by the looks of things, we’re trying not to hurt each other?

Josh S.: Exactly. (he looks at Cassandra and his padawan) Couldn’t convince Shain to come back huh?

Cassandra lowers her head.

Willie: (angered) You sent them to get him back?!

Josh S.: Yes, I sent them. He is the most capable to lead.

Willie: No, ‘cause if he was, he would be here! Wouldn’t he?

Jordin: Both of you out! Find somewhere else to be!

Josh and Willie go their separate ways. Dudley stands there, a little confused as to what just happened..

Jordin: Long story short, the group isn’t right without Shain.
