Adam struggled to his feet, his breath coming in heaving gasps. He reached out for his lightsaber, wanting to help his master. Maybe if they both fought Vader, they could overwhelm him. Maybe they could-

[i]"Run, Adam! Run!"[/i] said the voice in his head that he knew belonged to his master. [i]"I've rigged one of the reactors to explode! Take Kijani and get to the rebels![/i] The boy took one last look at his master, and he knew it would be for the last time. Mentally, he bid farewell to his master and started to run, just as an explosion rocked the station.

The space station was in chaos, and no one seemed to notice or care about the two fugitives running all the way to the hanger bay where the Falcon awaited. When the pair climbed the ramp, Adam felt his strength finally fail him. He collapsed on the deck, completely exhausted. 

"Is that everyone? We need to get out of here while the tractor beam is down! Where is the old man?" Han shouted from the cockpit. 

"He's... not coming." Adam said, rasping. [i]Good-bye, master. I'm sorry.[/i]
