[center][h2] Jude Sucal [/h2][/center] Korre, Xan and I make it outside at last. Annoyed, I bend down to look Xan in her face. "You gonna sit there the whole time? I'm sick of wheeling you around! You're slowing us down!" When she doesn't respond, I grab her shoulders and shake her. "I know you can here me! STOP PRETENDING!!" [center][h2] Korre [/h2][/center] "That's enough, Jude! You aren't helping!" I look around for a means to escape back to the Sith Hunter base. There is no speeder or ship nearby. "Oh, we shouldn't have left Iwan alone. You should have helped him fight!" [center][h2] Jude Sucal [/h2][/center] "It was him or you. I made my choice." Grabbing Xan's arm, I press a button on her wrist that signals her yacht to autopilot to our location. "We'll be out of here soon. Just hold tight." [center][h2] Korre [/h2][/center] I give him a worried look. "I hope the ship gets here soon. I have a bad feeling about this." [center][h2] Iwan Starsnow [/h2][/center] As Gendry struggles to stand, I walk slowly towards him. "Lyarra Starsnow. Long raven hair, brilliant blue eyes, skin pale as moonlight. Her smile was the sun shining through the trees, and her voice was the song of birds in the morning. Lyarra Starsnow was my mother's name. I remember her. She raised me until the day she died. YOU are nothing but a copy." [center][h2] Darth Hexxus [/h2][/center] I stagger to my feet, my hand immediately going to the searing pain in my cheek. My jaw hangs slightly slack do to a severed ligament, and I can feel the inside of the mouth through the gash. In the slight reflection of the glass window, I look like I am wearing a permanent half smile stretching up to my ear. I scream out in pain and horror. "My... FACE!" [center][h2] Iwan Starsnow [/h2][/center] "No, MY face. You're just wearing it." I raise my lightsaber. "But not for much longer." [center][h2] Darth Hexxus [/h2][/center] Letting my pain and anger fuel me, I reactivate my blade and charge at Iwan, slashing and him with everything I have. I don't use any form or technique. I'm fighting blindly, guided only by my need to destroy. All other thoughts were blocked out. Nothing else mattered, not even my mission to take Korre back to Sucal. All I cared about anymore was destroying this horrible doppelganger. [center][h2] Iwan Starsnow [/h2][/center] I give ground, forced onto the defensive. I did not expect Gendry to still have any energy left. I guess he was truly as tenacious as Zar'kun and Jerus had warned. But I still had one advantage; I was focused. While Gendry let all of his energy out, I was taking it all back in, using his own wrath against him. I almost enjoyed seeing Gendry distressed. Some deep dark part of me was feeding off of it, and making me stronger. The more he unleashed, the better I blocked, spun, and dodged. And finally, when Gendry's rage had caused him to faultier, I raised my hand back send a powerful blast of lighting into his chest, sending him flying backwards like a rag doll into the stained glass window, causing it to shatter into a million pieces and sending the would-be Sith Lord tumbling to the ground below.
