Chapter Six: Paul and Mike

Chapter Six

Paul and Mike

Josh and Jordin land next to what appears to be a brand new round arena shaped building that is a shiny silver with bright white lights around it. Josh and Jordin are standing at about a quarter mile away and can hear screaming fans. There is a perfect path way leading straight to the arena.

Jordin: Race ya!

Jordin takes off running, using Force speed to making him go faster.

Josh S.: Oh yeah?!

Josh watches for a few moments as his padawan heads down the silvery path, his long black Jedi braid trailing him. He waits about fifteen seconds and the dashes forward. Josh easily beats his young padawan down the path.

Josh looks up to the top of the arena, then turns his head around, looking to see how far back his padawan is. Jordin is just slowing to a stop when Josh sees him.

Josh S.: What do you think? Take the door? Or scale the wall?

Jordin: (breathing heavily) Can we just... use the door?

Josh S.: No fun, but ok.

Josh opens one of his green lightsabers and cuts a hole out of the door. He pulls the doors out with the Force and lays it against the side of the building. He enters into a dark hallway.

The only light is from the red-hot steel, the light coming in the doorway, and Josh’s lightsaber. Two red blasters fire from the same area. The bottom of Josh’s lightsaber comes up, spins around and blocks the shots with both hands on the hilt.

Jordin sits and watches his masters movements as more shots are fired. Josh is spinning and to the untrained eye, it is a simple fight. But to his padawan’s trained senses, his motions are instructions.

Josh turns so he is facing away ninety degrees away from Jordin to his left, then he pulls his second lightsaber out, spins wide, then jerks them while letting go, making them spin in mid-air.

He then crosses his hands and catches them after four spins, pushing his arms into the air. Jordin quickly starts to jump from ledge to ledge toward the roof. The last one is a bit further than the other ones. He catches onto the edge with his upper arms. He looks up and sees a seven foot droid standing in front of him.

Jordin: Oh, no...

The droid grabs Jordin by the head and throws him across the roof. He slides to a stop at the feet of Elizabeth May. He looks up at her. She has short black hair, brown eyes, and slightly tan skin.

Jordin: (a little dazed.) Oh, hey, Lizzy; nice to see you here.

Elizabeth: Shut up.

The droid comes down, picks him up and tosses him again. Meanwhile, Josh has worked his way though the main hall way. He starts running down the hall way. All sorts of darts starts flying at him. Earth guns are firing as well as flame throwers.

Josh only has only one lightsaber out. As he went over obstacles he spun his lightsaber blocking blasters. He comes up to a flame thrower that is built into the ground. He ducks below some darts then jumps up with his body stretched out then he twist as three more darts fly at him.

He lands on the other side. He makes it over to the other side sweating and breathing hard. He looks back at the obstacles he just went through.

Josh S.: Dang, Mike; just let me fight ya...

He turns around and walks though the door into a dark hall way. As he continues down the next hall way the crowed gets louder and louder. He gets to the end and looks around and knocks three times on the door. He steps back and the door opens.
