Round 13
Day
Qui-Gon Jinn was out and about heading for a particular part of the quarters section when he met one of the crew members. Qui-Gon didn’t really want to talk to anyone at this particular time and was short in his conversation. The other crew member was on the other hand very chatty and Qui-Gon was reduced to listen to this verbose crew member. At a particular junction which was out of ways way, the crew member made a gesture whose signature Qui-Gon knew very well, he had barely time to look surprised before he slumped down onto the floor completely unconscious.
Mara Jade Skywalker, the beautiful descendant of the first Jedi, walked along the hallway leading to her quarters. Her hips swayed extra and she played with her hair thinking about the beauty contest that she had just won and that had been organized just for lulz by the remnant of the Jedi crew. It was nice to be recognized as the most gorgeous chick onboard. She felt particularly feminine this night and she was in a particularly good mood. At an intersection close to her cabin stood a dark presence.
The dark side of the force was reeking from it and amber hateful eyes were observing her approach. Mara felt the threat from it and the feminine sway of her walk turned to determined warrior steps. She ignited her blue lightsabre and approached the dark presence. As she was about to attack this dark being, which could only be a Sith, the being raised both hands and blue energy cascaded from them. Mara was ready though and used the force to deflect the electric lightning. She moved in to strike at the cloaked and dark being with those hateful amber eyes, when she felt a surge through her body. It was as if her very life force was drained from her. She fell helpless to the floor, lightsabre clinking down the hallway. The dark being moved closer to her and smiled:” And so ends the most beautiful woman on this ship and another will take your place.”
She could barely hear the cackling laughter of the retreating Sith as her strength was near completely depleted.
Anakin Skywalker was love struck. He had witnessed the beauty contest and had loudly approved the winner which had sent him some inviting glances. Even though they were distant relatives, they were distant enough to engage in a relationship. That she had the same surname as him was just an advantage. She wouldn’t have to change it should he propose and they were married. He smiled thinking about the prospect.
As he neared her cabin, he saw a lightsabre lying in the hallway. Wasn’t that Mara’s? He hurried along the hallway and saw a slumped body in the intersection up ahead. Could it be? “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!” He ran the rest of the way and knelt down by the woman he barely knew but yet loved. She was barely breathing. He put her head on his lap and stroke her beautiful auburn hair. She was still semi unconscious, but he thought he saw a smile on her face and a single tear running down her chin. He talked soothingly to her as he sensed that her life force was about to fail. A presence loomed nearby and approached. A sinister voice uttered: “So.. if it isn’t the love birds. You will soon be joined in the hereafter, or maybe not…” The amber glowing eyes were looming over Anakin as he sat with Mara’s head on his lap. He was angry. “You killed her!! I may not be able to best you, but others surely will. You can’t escape, Sith!!.”
The dark being laughed manically and crouched.
Anakin threw up a field of force in front of him and Mara, and as the Sith jumped up and released a torrent of force, the part that hit his field was absorbed. However the hallway around him tore apart and the noise of it was nearly unbearable.
The Sith looked at the untouched Anakin and smiled. “Gooooood... that is a trick which would be nice to learn.”
Anakin felt his world go asunder and it was as if his life force was drained from him. He slumped forward and landed beside Mara who was struggling breathing. Darkness soon overtook Anakin as he no longer had the power to hold his eyes open. But his last view was of a beautiful woman next to him. His last draw of breath was full of her smell. The last touch was of her embrace. He was dying, but he was glad it was next to her.
Somewhere a member of the Jedi expedition force was meditating.
He had started his usual routine, but was suddenly overcome with peace and elevation as a presence surged into his very being. He heard a call from somewhere and followed the directions he received. The directions led to a special storage area.
The morning meeting was supposed to have been started, but Qui-Gon Jinn and two of the Jedi Knights were missing. The assembled few were looking worriedly at each other. Why wasn’t the Grand Master here? Had he been attacked? One of the Jedi Masters got to his feet and was about to make a statement, when the doors banged open and a haggard looking Qui-Gon stumbled into the auditorium. He walked like a drunkard towards the Master and motioned for a chair. One was provided and he sat down on it heavily. “I have some dire news, the Sith is gaining in strength, I have apparently been assaulted by someone knowing secrets that no-one in here should have known. I don’t remember what exactly happened last night but I woke up in the hallways just a few minutes ago. On the way here, I discovered the bodies of Mara and Anakin Skywalker. The Sith is still among us, and we need to continue our search and root them out.
Mara and Anakin were both Jedi Knights and I will therefore promote two new Knights. The honor goes to two brave Padawans, the last two we have:
Mas Amedda and
Sifo-Dyas. Congratulations!!!”
Qui-Gon seemed to be gaining in strength and declared: “Let the voting begin!!!”.
Voting session ends at 23:00 GMT+1 Friday 7th of May (in 23 hours)
