The Vanished Light: A Star Wars Story

XIII

Jayden, Oberon, Shira and Draco crept down the corridor, staying out of sight of different troopers marching down.
The silence filled the whole area as they searched for Zen, Aura and Gaiden.

Aura stood in an alcove, where her son was standing. He was facing the other way, dressed in black. Gaiden scowled at the silhouette of their child. The room was dark but the only thing illuminating the area was the sun from an unrepairable hole through the roof and red lights.
Aura walked away from the alcove into the open with Gaiden by her side.
"Cantor!"
The man turned around to see two people staring at him, hands in hand until the mother let go and walked up to him.
"I've been waiting for this for a long time, traitors." he pointed out sharply.
Gaiden shook his head and stepped onto the platform which Cantor was standing on, followed by Aura.
"You don't know what's going on," Zen - who stood directly behind him - spoke aloud. "Seven's manipulating you and he will always feed onto you. Like a womp rat for it's food. You're his prey.
"You're aunt has gone missing and all I know is that she needs you to come back to us."
"Just take off the mask."
Meanwhile, Shira and the crew found the destination, only to be standing in the snow and seeing something quite predictable.
"No..." Draco whispered under his breath.
Cantor lifted his mask off and what Aura saw was the face of their grown-up son. But the odd thing was that he was crying.
Aura frowned at him. "What's wrong?"
"The darkness - I want it to stop. I feel weak and unsteady and I don't want to lose myself as well as you. Mother. Father. Uncle." Cantor confessed.
"Come on, come close... that's it." Aura instructed her son like what she did when he was an infant. He sauntered towards his mother.
The sun's light faded and all was black and red. Cantor scowled and lifted his weapon up, turning on his luminescent red blade and bringing it down at Aura; making nothing but a cloak fall onto the floor.
All above took a sharp breath in as Cantor strided up to Gaiden.
"You know Gaiden, you're not a father at all, only Seven is." and he impaled Gaiden.
Zen stared in shock and he pulled his trigger, releasing a bullet, only to find it pausing in midair and hitting him.
"NO!!!!!!" Jayden screamed at the top of her lungs. Anger filled her up and she grabbed Oberon's blaster and shot Cantor in the waist, then she stormed up to him, only to be restrained by Shira and Draco.
They both pulled her away whilst Jayden screamed, kicked, threw punched and most of all: cried.
"Draco, can to control Jayden?" Oberon asked.
"Yes, why?"
"Shira and I will try and destroy the planet by the Fugitive Fourteen with Jackal. Get her as far away from Cantor as possible." and Oberon ran off.
Shira looked at Jayden, frowning, then followed Oberon.

Meanwhile, on the Fugitive Fourteen, a woman felt her heart shatter as she felt a disturbance through the Force.
Wait.
The Force? I thought it was hidden! Jackal thought to herself. She saw the door open to see Oberon and Shira running on board heading towards the cockpit.
"I'll go below." Jackal redeemed herself and ran down into the gunning area with their turret now fixed.
Oberon stared at the instrumentation in front of him, with Shira flicking randomly selected triggers. "What are you doing?" he yelled.
"Getting the ship ready, stupid!" Shira shoved him playfully then sent the ship flying.
