Chapter 3
Alright General," Quick Draw began, "what's the plan?"
"Boba Feet brought Leia to this planet and most likely handed her to Vader." Ezra said.
"It's the perfect place." Anakin said. "No one from the Rebel Fleet would think to look here because of the rumors that the atmosphere is unbreathable."
"Don't get comfortable yet General, this place is dangerous. Its Kamino. Each General will lead a squad to deal with them except for Kota. I have another job for you." Then the map shifted. "Here this ion cannon. Your team is to go on ahead to securer it. Then we use it to take down the shipyard. Bail Organa said
"What about Kota?" Anakin asked.
"This structure here. It's Vader's stronghold, he's there with Leia. Kota and I will lead a team there. Everyone, move out!" Ezra said
The legions of of clones and rebels spilt into several battalions along with AT-TEs and AT-RTs.
"Hello Leia." Darth Vader said.
"You! I should have known it was you! That this was your plan!" Leia raged.
"My plan? Oh no it's not my plan, it's my Masters'."
"Your Master? Wait... Darth Sidious?" Vader force chocked
"He, he, he." Leia chuckled as she forced herself to her feet. "You know Ezra is coming, coming for me. Go ahead and blast me again, it'll only make things worse for you when he gets here."
"We'll see." Vader said and his fist again.
"Master, I have the girl."
"Excellent." Sidious was happily
"What am I to do with the boy when he arrives?"
"Use the girl against him. Make him your assaissn again."
"Will that even work?" Vader asked
"He loves her. He will obey you." Sidious
"Are you sure you want to go in alone?" Kota asked.
"Yes, this trap is for me. Take the squad and assist the nearest team ." Ezra said as he entered and pulled on his hood.
"Don't go in there alone!" Anakin said. "Vader is waiting for you."
"She's close General I am not stopping."
"We're losing your single Ezra just stop!"
"I'm done arguing Skywalker! I have to do this! Leia? LEIA!"
He found himself in a large circular and dark room.
"So, you really did come." Vader's voice said over speakers.
"Vader! You had a clone of me and you didn't tell me I was the REAL One. Where are you COWARD"
"Welcome back Ezra Bridger . Your timing is perfect. I was hoping to test out this weapon. Who better to test it on then what it was created to kill." Vader said
Ezra's attention was caught by two red lights in the shadows and a droid walked out. The droid appeared to be roughly humanoid in shape, with skeletal features similar to that of His former helmet. Its helmeted head contained two red photoreceptors and its body was coated in red paint.
"Meet the EG-4 Jedi Hunter Droid prototype" Vader said
"Jedi Hunter?" Ezra asked. Suddenly the droid whipped out a red lightsaber. "What the?" Ezra said as it launched itself at him.
It was fast and displayed mastery of the Sith Shien, but its blade work and programing were sloppy.
Ezra dodged a few strikes before simply side stepping and cut it down. "Cheap droids."
"Well done. Not surprising from someone with your skill." Vader said as a door opened. "But it doesn't mean you can reach me."
Ezra walked through to find himself in an extremely vast. At the other end and approaching were countless Stormtrooper .
Ezra ignited his lightsabers and twirled one of them before charging forward. As he cut them down the others began to surround him, just as he expected. "Rha!" he shouted as he released a force repulse so powerful they became ash. He holstered his saber and prepared to head deeper into the fortress. Then he heard a strange metallic shriek and turned.
A squad of trooper stood in his way. Its optics changed from green to red-orange as it shot electricity at Ezra who held it back with one hand. You will not STOP ME! Ezra shouted in his mind.
With his free hand he blasted the Troopers with force lightning before releasing a force push from both hands. He ignited his lightsabers and charged forward throwing them at the Terror Walkers front legs, cutting a piece of them off. He jumped on its head and stabbed it repeatedly before cutting of The trooper heads. He jumper off and the walker tried to hit him with what was left of one of its front legs but Ezra grabbed it with the Force. He picked up the droid and compacted its head. He then jumped up and slashed it and then cut it in half when he dropped.
"Bravo." Vader said clapping as Ezra entered another large room with Vader at the other end. "Now, you will come with me my apprentice Again."
Ezra lite his purple and black sabers in response. "Never."
Vader drew his saber and put one arm behind his back.
Ezra charged in with the direct and vicious attacks of Juyo while Vader used the flowing, elegant, and graceful movements of Makashi. Vader eventually jumped back and threw object at Ezra who caught it and threw it back.
Vader holstered his saber and used both hands to make the celling cave in and escaped to the other room while Ezra stopped the ceiling from crushing him.
When he ran to the next room he didn't see Vader, then dodged as Vader came from the side trying to strike him and they entered an saber lock.
"You are a fool to face me alone." Vader said.
"You'll have to kill me this time!" Ezra replied.
"Anakin never defeated me. He and I are the same. What hope do you have?" Vader asked
"I've defeated You before I will do it again!" Ezra said
The lock broke and they parried before they locked again.
"I'm stronger then you." Ezra said.
"Yet you fail to defeat me. If you wish to play at being a Jedi so be it!" Vader challenged.
"Shut up!" Ezra shouted.
Vader jumped back and threw a large piece of scrap metal at Ezra and escaped to the next room.
Ezra ran in and found himself in Vader room with Vader at the other end.
"WHERE IS SHE!?" Ezra Screamed
Vader side stepped, revealing Leia behind him on her knees in shackles.
"Leia." Ezra said
Vader picked her up with Force choke and held her two feet above the ground. "Bow before me, or she dies."
"Wait, wait!" Ezra said.
Leia mouthed the word 'no' to him.
Ezra dropped his sabers and fell to his knees. "I will... do your bidding. Just let her go."
Vader dropped her, but didn't see her reach. "Find and kill General Kota. If you fail the girl dies. You will obey and give yourself to the Dark Side. If you resist she dies. And when your training is complete you will go and Kill Anakin Skywalker. If you fail she dies!"
He suddenly jumper backwards as a Light purple blade passed in front of him. Leia had picked up one of Ezra's sabers after Vader dropped her and held it in her shackled hands.
Vader picked her up causing her to drop the lightsaber and threw out the window in the back wall. She hit the ground outside...dead.
"RHAAAAAAAAAA!" Ezra screamed and charged Vader and called his sabers to him and knocked out the same window.
Vader looked up to see lighting and pure force energy radiating off of Ezra's body. When he attacked his speed had increased and so had his strength. Vader managed to force him into a saber lock.
"I'LL KILL YOU!" Ezra screamed.
"Rise above this, she means nothing". Vader said trying to incite him. "Her death gives you strength. Embrace it!"
"I WILL KILL YOU!" Ezra screamed
"If you wish to join the girl so be it!" Vader
The lock broke and Ezra attacked with Juyo, never letting up.
I'm having a hard time keeping up with him. Vader thought. And his rage! I've never felt levels of rage like this before!
Soon they entered another saber lock.
"She was a princess, she would have never loved you!" Vader said trying too Make Ezra join him
"YOU WILL DIE WHERE YOU STAND!" Ezra screamed
Ezra forced him back and shot lighting at him.
Vader tried to counter, but he couldn't. Soon he was on his knees with one of Ezra's sabers at his neck.
"YOU'VE TAKEN EVERYTHING FROM ME!" Ezra yelled
"Her feelings for you were not real." Vader replied
"THERE ARE REAL TO ME!" Ezra responded preparing to finish Vader off
"Wait!" Anakin said as he and Kota ran onto the platform.
"You want him dead as much as I do." Ezra said
"Yes but not yet!" Anakin said. "Not until he's told us the Empire's secrets."
"You want to take him prisoner?" Ezra asked.
"To a prison on a secret base where we can interrogate him." Anakin said. "Put him on trial for crimes against the True Republic. And then we'll execute him, to show the galaxy that we don't need to fear him any longer." Anakin respond
"He's too dangerous." Ezra said.
"He's unarmed. It's not the Jedi way." Kota said.
Ezra still seemed ready to strike.
"Killing him won't bring her back!" Anakin said.
She wouldn't want me to. Ezra thought
Ezra turned off his saber and holstered them. Then Anakin placed his own saber to Vader's throat. "Get something to hold him." He said.
"Yes General." Clone rebel said.
Ezra saw Medical droid trying to heal Leia and ran over.
"I... I can't revive her. I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault." Ezra said as he took Leia's body in his arms and held her close. "I should have saved her"
Slowly a hand placed itself gently on Ezra's cheek and brought him toward Leia's lips.
When the kiss broke Leia smiled up at him. "You did."
Ezra smiled like a idiot and helped Leia up and hug her
Vader was in cuffs and being led toward the landing area.
