Chapter eight:
The Stormtroopers inside of the Death Star had talked about this fight for the past two hours. Bets had been placed and none were on Mara Jade.
The lightsabers spun around so much that it made it look like four lightsabers were being used. So far the fight was going in Cale's favor.
He was backing Mara Jade near a Tie fighter that had been left on deck. Mara Jade Force Jumped onto it and Cale followed. Mara Jade was slashing her purple lightsaber from the right to the left but nothing worked. Emperor Palpatine had taught Darth Zeth well.
Mara Jade Force Jumped behind Cale and Cale spun around to block his attack but the attack never came becaus Mara Jade slashed through the wing of the Tie fighter and it fell with Cale with it. It looked as if it would fall on top of Cale but he Force Gripped it and threw it back at Mara Jade so it didn't touch him.
Mara Jade got angry it was time to cheat.
She slowly opened a pouch and Force Jumped and slowly grabbed another red lightsaber from the pouch.
Cale Lestin blocked both sabers barely and said. "You never said we could use two lightsabers."
"I never said we couldn't either." Replied Mara Jade.
Cale Lestin tried to block both saber attacks but it was getting harder and harder. Cale used Force Grip to grab a piece of the Tie fighter and threw it at Mara Jade but she Force saber threw her purple lightsabers to cut it to pieces.
With Mara Jade distracted Cale Force Sped towards Mara Jade and hit her right arm with the lightsaber. The arm dropped the purple lightsaber and went numb. Mara Jade backed away blocking Darth Zeth's attack. Mara Jade had no choice she would have to use her ace.
She had planted a blaster near the battle just in case it didn't look like she would win. Mara Jade used Force Grip to aim the blaster and fired. Cale Lestin then fell to the floor surprised by the attack. He tried to get back up but couldn't. Mara Jade then Force Pulled the crimson red lightsaber towards her that Emperor Palpatine had given to Darth Zeth and slashed it so it could never be used again.
"No." Cale Lestin groaned.
"Look at Emperor Palpatine's apprentice now." Mara Jade grunted the last word as she kicked Cale across the floor.
Mara Jade took her one good arm and used blue Force Lightning to strike Cale Lestin.
Cale Lestin screamed in pain as his body began filling with blue electricity. The Stormtroopers raised their guns and said. "Drop your lightsaber and put your hands in the air."
"You would choose this weakling over me?" Replied Mara Jade.
The Stormtroopers just stood there. "Drop your lightsaber, they yelled.
Mara Jade Force saber threw her purple lightsaber at the door lock and the door closed. "I've gotten so sick and tired of your praise." Mara Jade shocks Cale some more.
"All Emperor Palpatine could talk about was how you were the Empire's prodigy." Mara Jade shocks Cale some more.
"Well you can't take over the Empire if you're dead." Mara Jade lifts her purple lightsaber as the door opens. "This is the end."
Mara Jade brings her purple lightsaber down only to meet another red lightsaber.
Mara Jade looks up to see the wielder and is terrified by him.
His laughter symbolizes the death of most people it was him the dark lord of the Sith.
"Emperor Palpatine you weren't expected to be back for another couple of hours." Said Mara Jade.
"Don't change the subject Mara Jade. You tried to kill my apprentice and to me that is unforgivable." Replied Emperor Palpatine.
Mara Jade's purple lightsabers powered down and Emperor Palpatine picked up Cale Lestin and carried him over to some Stormtroopers.
"Take him to the medical wing and see if she's alright." Mara Jade said in a cocky tone. "You baby her way to much Emperor Palpatine."
Emperor Palpatine turned around slowly and Mara Jade could almost see the anger radiating off him.
Emperor Palpatine walked up to her and she got in his face. "Watch what you say to me or you will end up dead." Emperor Palpatine said in a deep dark voice.
"You wouldn't dare touch me." Replied Mara Jade.
"You won't talk your way out of this one." Said Emperor Palpatine.
"Darth Plagueis wouldn't let you... Mara Jade was cut off by Emperor Palpatine.
"I will take Darth Plagueis's displeasure if it keeps you out of my sight forever." Said Emperor Palpatine.
Emperor Palpatine reignites his red lightsaber and Mara Jade reignites her purple lightsaber.
Mara Jade tried to use blue Force Lightning on Emperor Palpatine but he blocks it with one hand while using Force Tutaminus. Mara Jade also used Force Heal to heal the hand that Darth Zeth had damaged earlier. With her hand healed he tried to defeat Emperor Palpatine the best she could but to no avail.
Emperor Palpatine was matching his moves with just one hand. Tired of fighting, Emperor Palpatine Force Pushed Mara Jade against a wall and Force Choked her.
"Look at Darth Plagueis's favorite now." Emperor Palpatine said in a cocky tone. He then Force saber threw his red lightsaber piercing Mara Jade's chest.
Mara Jade's head then fell down. Emperor Palpatine Force Pulls his red lightsaber back towards him and places it on his belt.
He then walks off and turns to a Stormtrooper. "Get that filth out of my sight."
The trooper salutes and says. "Yes sir."
