Chapter 7 - (Trouble in the Empire.)

Chapter seven:

"Sorry to say this to you guys but I've got the Royal Flush." Said Cale Lestin.

The Stormtroopers threw down their cards and started yelling stuff as they walked away.

"Thanks for the credits." Said Cale Lestin while picking up his money. It was sad really because Cale had been left to keep watch over the Death Star.

Darth Plagueis had gone back to Coruscant and her Master was still handling things on Mustafar so he was practically all alone except for the thousands of Stormtroopers that were in the Death Star.

"Darth Zeth." Said a commander.

"What is it commander?" Replied Cale Lestin.

"Mara Jade had just arrived to refill her supplies I just thought you might want to know." Said the commander.

"Thank you commander. You are dismissed." Replied Cale Lestin.

Darth Zeth had learned a lot about Mara Jade. She was Emperor Palpatine's favorite amongst the Emperor Hands and she could hear Emperor Palpatine's commands across the galaxy better than anyone except for maybe Darth Zeth. In the beginning Mara Jade was just like Cale himself.

Mara Jade had been taken away from her family by the Empire. Emperor Palpatine held her in the most highest esteem. It was rumored that she could even match Darth Vader in lightsaber skill and in Force powers. She had to see this woman.

She had the figure of a dancer. Red hair and piercing green eyes. She looked just like Shira Brie except ten years younger. Cale bowed as Mara Jade walked passed him. Mara Jade suddenly stopped when she looked at the young boy before her.

"This must have been Emperor Palpatine's apprentice that so many people had been talking about." Mara Jade was so sick of hearing about him when an evil smile came to his lips. "Let's just see how really good you are Darth Zeth."

Cale Lestin jumped up from his bow to see what he had to say. "I have heard many stories about you and I think that you are a great warrior." Said Mara Jade.

Cale Lestin nodded his head and said. "Thank you Mara Jade."

"So what do you say that you and I have a lightsaber duel just for fun. To see who is stronger and we turn the saber's power down to where it will paralyze the body part you hit for about three hours." Said Mara Jade.

Cale Lestin wasn't sure about this Mara Jade seemed stronger than him and would beat him for sure. But he wouldn't die from it and it seemed like a fun idea. "When and where shall we meet Mara Jade?" Said Cale Lestin.

"I'm tired right now so we shall meet in this very place within two hours." Replied Mara Jade.

Cale was in Emperor Palpatine's personal training room. He would battle with the droids for an hour and then rest for an hour. The droids came at him with speed no human or Stormtrooper could match. He dodged the droids by stepping backwards and came at them in a W formation.

He stepped forward and swiftly cut the droids head off. Then stepped back to get away from the other droids attack. He came forward and spun around slashing the droid in the torso, while using Nimam the sixth lightsaber form that incorporates the user's strong Force abilities.

Mara Jade didn't train. She just sat there reading a book because she knew she was going to win with the ace he had up her sleeve.

The two of them then stepped forward, igniting their lightsabers. "Let's see which is better a Emperor's Hand or a Sith Lord." Said Mara Jade.

She then Force Jumped and almost touched the ceiling. She then came back down as the two blades sizzled and cracked as they clashed against each other.
