Star Wars: Episode IV: Serenity Rising

Chapter 21: The Alpha

Kikks and Scar run along the treetops following a group of dogmen back to their cave.

"How are we going to draw out the Alpha?" Kikks asked

"Fight." Scar says

They jump down and kill the two dogmen at the entrance of the cave. Scar picks up both dead creatures and throws them in. The dogmen look up and growl. Kikks and Scar charge in. Scar targets eight of the dogmen with his shoulder cannon and fires. They explode everywhere. Kikks rams his spear into the other two. Then a scream echoes throughout the cave. The other dogmen start to back away. Kikks and Scar look to see, out of the darkness a 12-foot tall dogman to reveal itself. This one was very muscular. Its arm's extended to its knees. It had black fur with patches of grey. Scar's ran up and down its body. It was the Alpha. Scar pulled a wire from his mask. He unhooked some straps from his armor. He pulled off his shoulder cannon and set it on the ground. He removed his mask to reveal a mandible like face with dreadlocks protruding. Scar lets out a massive scream at the Alpha. The Alpha screamed back and they both charge each other. Scar extends his wrist blades and swipes at the Alpha spewing blood. Kikks runs up the ledge to attack from behind. The Alpha charges forward swinging its arm at Scar knocking him into the wall.

"Unfair." Kikks says

Kikks run and jumps off the ledge onto the Alpha's back, holding on with the staff. Kikks digs his pistol into the Alpha's back firing. The Alpha grabs Kikks and throws him. The Alpha takes the spear and breaks it. Kikks backs into the wall while the Alpha slowly walks toward him.

"Well, this is it. I'm sorry Kaylee." Kikks said closing his eyes

Then nothing... the only thing Kikks hears is metal cutting flesh. Kikks opens his eyes to see Scar standing over the Alpha with its head in his hands. He raises it up and screams a battle cry. The other dogmen cower and run off. Kikks walks over to Scar who is standing at the cave entrance with his mask and shoulder cannon reattached, still holding the Alpha's head.

"Thank you." Scar says extending a hand

Kikks shakes Scar's hand

"Now what?" Kikks asked

Then a massive spotlight shines through the trees onto Kikks and Scar. An unknown ship begins to land.
