Tyvral


Tyvral's com began to beep and he activated it, "Hello?"

His father voice came through, "Tyvral we can't find Bala have you seen her?"

"No, she doesn't like me," said Tyvral.

"She's your sister she likes you," said his father indigently.

"I'll find her," sighed Tyvral. He deactivated the com and walked out of his room on the Jedi shuttle, he still preferred it to the village.

Dev watched Tyvral as he walked towards the exit, "Everything ok?"

Tyvral waved his concern aside, "They can't find Bala she's probably just hiding in woods".

Dev scoffed, "She doesn't like you that much?"

"Guess so," sighed Tyvral and he walked outside.

Tyvral walked through the village Shistavanen waving at him as he walked by, they all knew him by now. Tyvral waved back exchanging quick greeting with them as he made his way towards the woods. He reached out with the force and felt Bala, her anger like a beacon. Tyvral stepped into the woods and felt the skin on his back crawl as if eyes were on him. He spun but only saw Shistavanen going about their daily business.

"You alright?" asked one.

Tyvral nodded, "Yeah, just need more sleep I guess".

The Shistavanen nodded, "Always a good thing".

Tyvral smiled, "Yeah". He turned and went into the woods. He pushed his way past ferns and tree branches towards the beacon of anger. Tyvral stepped into a clearing and saw Bala sitting on the ground her back facing him. A beeping coming from nearby.

"Bala come on I'm taking you home," said Tyvral walking towards her. What was the beeping?

"No!" she snapped still not facing him, the beeping continuing.

Tyvral sighed and lifted her up with the force, "Come on let's -" Tyvral froze and Bala fell the ground, beside her an long range communicator which continued beeping.

"What did you do?" asked Tyvral quietly.

"They said they'd make you go away!" snapped Bala.

Two large booms and one earth shaking boom rang out and Tyvral looked to the sky. Two imperial star destroyers and a super star destroyer which blotted out the sun covering the planet in its shadow.

Tyvral's com activated and Dev's scared voice came through, "Ty, that's the one they told us about. It's Vader's ship".

Static came through the coms and then a imperial officer appeared his voice echoing through the city, "Your city has been found guilty of harboring Jedi fugitives, fight and you will be killed. Surrender and we will show mercy," said Moff Tarkin.

The communication cut off and Tyvral ran out of the woods and into the city, everyone stared at him their faces obscured by the shadow of Vader's Executor. Tyvral looked at their eyes which glowed in the darkness and activated his com, "Dev I'm turning myself in get out of here".

"No way, we face him together," said Dev.

"We can't win but you can live, so GO!" yelled Tyvral into his com as he walked through the city Shistavanen making way for him.

"I beat you in a lightsaber fight, Skywalker, almost beat Windu, I can win," said Dev.

"Your one of the weakest force users, GO!" yelled Tyvral.

There was silence for several seconds then Dev snapped, "Fine," and the communication cut off.

Tyvral commed The Executor and Grand Moff Tarkin appeared on holoprojector, "I'll surrender myself in the town square".

"And your companion?" asked Tarkin.

"Can't speak for him," said Tyvral and ended the call.



Tyvral sat in the town square meditating both lightsabers in his hands. He heard the mutters as a ship approached and as that ship landed. Tyvral opened his eyes and stood. The imperial shuttle's ramp hissed and lower to the ground. As soon as it settled stormtroopers ran down the ramp forming a line in front of the imperial shuttle. Then loud, slow steps began to ring out slow breathing accompanying every step.

Darth Vader walked down the ramp, nearly invisible in the shadow of The Executor, and looked at Tyvral, "You were wise to surrender"

Hundreds of imperial gunship swarmed around the city aiming guns at both Tyvral and anything that their eyes settled.

Tyvral looked at them, "Call of the imps and I surrender, you promised them mercy".
