The Shadow of Light Jedi Academy Book 1

Chapter 6 part 2

Holly

The battle started off great at first. We all had the upper hand and that's when everything went bad. There was a huge explosion in the background of Dark Side and it made all the Jedi and Greys weak. Luna and the other Darks held up great but even I was weak so I started giving up.

     "Holly run. Go find everyone that you can and get them off this place," Luna demanded. Me and Anakin looked at her in shock but she looked away. I just got her back so her throwing her life away is out of the damn question.

"What about you?" Obi-Wan asked. I wanted to kill him at that point and he would be so lucky if I didn't.

"The Dark Side is stronger at the moment. If I focus hard enough then I can channel that energy and weaken them with it," she said. I looked at her with pure look in my eyes and she knew why.

"But that would mean that you would go full Dark. There has to be another way," I said. Luna wasn't able to cry but I was and she knew when I was close to tears. There was regret in her eyes but she wouldn't let it show.

"Go find everyone and take a ship. Go!" She demanded. I knew that she was a war commander but she never acted like it until now. I knew that there was no wining so I grabbed the others and ran.

I knew that this might be the last time I see her but I didn't look back as I ran. There would be a time for tears but it's not now and it might not be later.

"Where's Master Shadow?" Maria asked. I knew that I had to tell the truth but it might kill her.

"She's going to stay and channel all the dark energy and use it towards the Sith. She's either going to go full Dark or die," I said. The look in everyone's face was full of sadness but the look on Kanan's was worse. He was like a father to all of us while we were on the ship and he still is to me and her.

"She can't do that. Wouldn't that mean going Sith?" Ezra asked. I forced a nod and Hera cried. The last time Hera cried was when Kanan went blind and that was bad so this has to be worse. 

"Sadly we can't stop her. We should go now so please go get all the people inside and get them on a ship we have to get out of here soon so that she can do this," I demanded. With her gone I have to take charge and that might be a good thing for me before I get my first Padawan. Gavin ran over to me and looked around for Luna and to tell his the news would kill him.

"Where is she?" he asked with a panicked tone. I couldn't lie to him so when I did tell him his eyes grew dark but he didn't run after her like I thought he would. He helped me get everyone on the ship and I got to help Rex take off but I couldn't help but look back towards Luna.
