Hey all. There were a few miss spells and a few times when I used a word two or three times in like three sentences in a row to describe stuff. I was tired when I wrote this chapter. :( I fixed those and added a few more descriptive words. :) I will give the first person who can point out the new words +50 cool points.

Don't worry. I'm waiting. I am just too lazy to keep updating my fic. I finished book 2 and am writing book 3 but I haven't finished posting book 2. Like I said, I am too lazy. Well that and my muse has been putting me in overdrive.

 

Still I look forward to the next chapter. Keeping my eye out for it until Sun Jun 26. Then I disappear off the face of the earth for a month.

what? you made a deal with each other? :p

but yeah, RP, we're all anxious to see the next chapter.

 

LOL! No, no deal was made, although now that I re-read my post I can see how you thought that, RC. Sorry, was just trying to prompt RP to post again as he ribbed me once about the long breaks between my chapters in my fic. Granted, with work and other committments I know it's hard to keep it up, and when you've been 'away' from the story for a while it's even harder to pick up where you left off.

 

But, maybe now his thread is back on the main page, RenegadePuma will try, eh?

Okay, so your new chapters and newfound dedication have inspired me Jasra. I have started working on chapter XXIV. Unless something very important arises, you can all expect it to be posted by this weekend. As Jasra said, once you have been away from the story for awhile it is hard to pick it right back up again. So I am going to work on it a little bit everyday and hopefully it turns out ok. So, this weekend it should be out. :)

Hey guys and gals, thought you might like a little sneak peak at the next chapter. A taste to wet your appetites if you will. Bwaa ha ha ha ha!

 

*Renegade lets out a maniacal laugh*

 

 

 

"No.." Linduu sobbed. "This can't be happening, this isn't right."

 

"Any last words Jedi?." Jasra said with a victorious look on her face.

Alright everyone here it is. I have been away from the story for awhile, so if is sucks sorry. I tried to put the emotions into it that I was feeling when writing it. Hopefully it is good. Also Microsoft word went down on me. I had to write this in wordpad which has no spell checker or grammar checker. So go easy on me in those areas to. My Next chapter after this one might get written this weekend. I have some time so we shall see. Enjoy.

 

 

Chapter XXIV

 

Linduu immediately took the offensive with a flurry of moves. It was all Jasra could do to backpedal and block Linduu's attempts as she was caught off-guard by her aggressive nature. Thrust after thrust, slash after slash, with each movement Linduu's emotions grew more and more out of control. The fight went on and on as the sabers clashed and crackled in the night air. Jasra blocked and countered until she felt as if her arms were about to fall off when finally she saw an opening. She blocked Linduu's attempted slash at her legs locking the sabers together. She then slid her saber up Linduu's all the way to the hilt with blinding speed. Sparks spewed out of Linduu's saber as Jasra severed its lower half.

 

"There that's better." Jasra said with a smirk on her face. "Now the odds are definitely against you."

 

Now it was Jasra's turn as she instantly went on the offensive. Caught off guard by the prospect of having only one blade to work with Linduu was now the one backpedaling, barely able to keep up with Jasra's movements.

 

( Oh Linduu you gizka brain! You exhausted yourself with your initial attack.) Linduu thought to her self as the sabers hummed between them. (I'm in real trouble now.... getting tired.... Any help would be greatly appreciated Jor-el.) Still, as before, there was no answer from her love.

 

No sooner had she finished her thoughts when her right heel caught a piece of debris on the ground and threw her off balance. Linduu crashed to the ground, back first with a thud. The impact sent her saber flying away, leaving her helpless and at Jasra's mercy.

 

"Finally, I have my moment of glory." Jasra sneered as she stood over Linduu with the business end of her saber pointed at her throat. She let out a laugh so evil that the very ground seemed to shake beneath them. "It is I, Jasra Lantill who shall destroy the last of the Jedi and rid the galaxy of them forever!!"

 

"No.." Linduu sobbed. "This can't be happening, this isn't right."

 

"Any last words Jedi?." Jasra said with a victorious look on her face.

 

At that moment Jor-el's force ghost appeared right in front of Jasra, his eyes full of fury locked in a gaze with her own.

 

"This... this is impossible!" Jasra said as she pointed her saber at Jor-el and began to slowly back away. "You're dead! I killed you myself."

 

Jor-el remained silent as he continued walking towards her. Jasra became so fixed on Jor-el that she was almost hypnotized by his presence. Her saber lowered and her sense of the surrounding area faded into darkness. All she could do was stare into Jor-el's eyes, it was as if some magic was holding her gaze with his. She took a few more steps back when all of a sudden Jor-el disappeared and the image of his ghost was replaced by Linduu's fist flying straight at her nose. *whap!* Linduu's punch connected solidly and sent Jasra tumbling backwards. As she tried to regain her balance T-4 rolled up right behind her, tripping her as the back of her knees hit his metal chassis. This time it was Jasra's saber that flew out of her hands, and Linduu wasted no time. She pounced on Jasra like a cat, fist swinging wildly. A right hand to the face and a left to Jasra's gut. Jasra countered with a kick to the upper chest that sent Linduu flying off of her. Both women used the force to get up off the ground swiftly and were standing toe to toe once again. Linduu tried to take another swing with her fist, but her arm was stopped mid motion as Jasra placed a Force choke on her. Linduu tried to break the hold but Jasra's power was strong, and her rage even stronger. Linduu was slipping away, slowly suffocating. Just as she was about to black out Linduu reached out into the force with all the willpower she could muster. Jasra was caught off guard by Linduu's sudden burst of power. She felt a disturbance behind her and whirled about only to see T-4 airborne flying right for her head! *Clank!* T-4 slammed into Jasra with blinding speed and then dropped to the ground. Jasra slumped to her knees and fell face first into the dirt, temporarily knocked unconscious.

 

"Beep beep whooo!!!!" T-4 began spouting wildly. "Beep beep, whoo, wwaaaaa, bop bop beep!"

 

Linduu dropped to one knee gasping for air. "Sorry T-4 you were the only heavy object I could feel through the force, I had no choice but to pull you towards me."

 

"Beep beep!" T-4 exclaimed.

 

Linduu stood to her feet and used the force to call her saber to her hand. "Look, I'll make it up to you ok. If we make it through all of this then I promise that you will receive the best oil bath credits can buy."

 

"Beep droot." T-4 replied in a calmer tone.

 

Linduu approached Jasra's motionless body without caution. All she could think about was killing her to gain revenge for Jor-el's death. As she reached Jasra the rage inside of her grew even stronger. Her lightsaber beam turned into a deep dark shade of red. Thoughts of what Jasra and the Sith had taken from her life began to run through her mind. She raised her saber above her head, the tip of the beam pointed down at Jasra.

 

"Now I shall avenge my husbands death!"

 

Linduu thrust her saber down for the killing blow. But with unnatural speed Jasra rolled out of the way, called her own saber to her and simultaneously ignited it and slashed for Linduu's neck. Linduu barely ducked in time, Jasra's saber whizzing by an inch from the top of her head.

 

"You can't kill me you fool!" Jasra hissed as she swiped for Linduu's leg.

 

Linduu blocked the attempt and countered with a thrust followed by a flurry of upward arcing slashes. Jasra blocked each with cunning skill and countered with powerful attacks of her own driven by the black rage within her heart. The battle yet again raged on for what seemed like an eternity till finally Linduu had exhausted herself.

 

"You are tired, I can feel it." Jasra sneered between clenched teeth. "You can not defeat me, I am too powerful."

 

As she finished her rant Jasra extended her free hand causing a massive force push that sent Linduu flying into the raider. The cracking sound of her head slamming into the ship resonated throughout the entire warehouse. Everything became blurry as Jasra approached. She couldn't move anything, and the back of her head ached like nothing she had ever felt before. The last image Linduu saw before everything faded to black was Jasra taking the saber from her hand and raising both of them above her head to deal the killing blow. Linduu faded away, knowing that she had failed her husband, her child, and the entire universe.

 

*************************************

 

"Linduu my love, you mustn’t give up." Linduu heard Jor-el's voice resonating in her head. "You have come so far, you are so close."

 

(I don't have the strength, I can't move, I can't even open my eyes.)

 

"The universe is depending on you. I am depending on you. Our child, our child is depending on you. There is a purpose for his life. You can't let the Sith take it."

 

(She is too strong. Even if I could defeat her, how then would I even come close to stopping Vandar?)

 

"She is not stronger than you."

 

(How then is it that she is about to win?)

 

"Linduu, my love, my sweet. You let your emotions get the best of you. You were feeding off of your rage and hatred towards Jasra. You wanted to take revenge on her for killing me. You can not beat her at her own game. You are strong in the light, and that is where you must draw your power from. Focus on peace, serenity and life."

 

(But I am so angry with her for taking you from me. I miss you terribly Jor-el. I can't live life without you.)

 

"Let go of the past my love. I know you are hurting. I know that you miss me, I miss you too. But I have passed from your world, nothing you can do will change that. Let go of your hatred for her. Focus on the task at hand."

 

(I will try what you ask.)

 

"I know you will Lin." Jor-el said and then paused. "And know this. That I will always be with you in your heart. I will always love you. And that is something that no one can ever take from you."

(I will always love you to Jor-el.)

 

"Now AWAKEN!"

 

***************************************

 

Linduu's eyes shot open in time to see the two sabers coming down at her. Not more than a few seconds had passed while she was unconscious. She simply thought of a force wave and Jasra and the raider were sent flying away from Linduu. Jasra flew across the warehouse and hit the ground, skidding to a stop that peeled most of the skin from her right arm and face. The raider flew in the opposite direction and slammed into the wall, sending sparks flying everywhere.

 

Linduu stood to her feet and called both of the sabers from Jasra's hands to her own. Linduu's eyes glowed white hot as she centered her thoughts more and more on the light side of the force. She began walking towards where Jasra was laying with the intent of ending this fight and killing her. But when she got about halfway there she felt something.

 

(What's this? A spark of good in Jasra? A glimmer of hope for redemption perhaps?)

 

Jasra jumped to her feet. "You'll never win Jedi!" She screamed as she shot out force lightning from her hands at Linduu.

 

Linduu simply raised her saber and deflected the bolts into the ground. She then disengaged both sabers and dropped them.

 

"What's your story Jasra?" Linduu asked. "What made you fall to the dark side?"

 

"Isn't it obvious?" Jasra said seething with anger. "The power! The unlimited power!" And once again her hands shot out lighting at Linduu.

 

Linduu raised her hands this time, absorbing the bolts and making them disappear.

 

"If the dark side is so powerful, then why is it that you haven't killed me yet? No, no there is something more, I can feel it. Perhaps you turned on the Jedi out of anger?" Linduu asked.

 

"Your feeble attempts to sway me will have no effect Jedi." Jasra sneered as she continued to spew forth lightning from her fingertips.

 

Linduu all the while kept neutralizing it when the bolts reached her. "Perhaps you lost someone you loved? Perhaps you had no one to turn to so you blamed it on the Jedi?"

 

"My personal life is none of your concern!" Jasra shouted out. "Now die! Just die!"

 

Linduu could sense Jasra's frustration growing. Because of this Jasra's guard was lowered and Linduu took the opportunity to dig into her mind.

 

(Ah yes, there it is. You poor woman. I pity you now that I know the truth.)

 

"Your sister's death was not your fault." Linduu stated in a caring tone.

 

Jasra's ceased her attacks immediately as she was taken aback by the statement. Linduu noticed her facial features soften and continued.

 

"Even had you been there. There's no guarantee that you could have saved her."

 

"What would you know about it Jedi! Nothing!" Jasra said as the hatred returned to her demeanor.

 

"I can help you Jasra, I can help heal your wound and take the pain away. This fight doesn't have to end with one of us dying." Linduu said as she stopped walking and stood about 10 feet from Jasra.

 

"I don't want your help Jedi! All I want is to kill you where you stand." Jasra said as she raised her hands to attack Linduu again with more lightning.

 

"Then I'm sorry." Linduu replied.

 

Before Jasra could begin her attack Linduu lifted her hands, the two lightsabers behind her lifted off the ground, ignited, and flew past her ears right for Jasra. They found their mark, one in Jasra's head, and one in her heart. The Sith took one last gasp of air and then fell to the ground dead. Linduu walked over, pulled the sabers out of Jasra's dead body and disengaged them. She knelt down beside her and placed a hand on her cheek.

 

"I'm so sorry you had to die with such pain still bound inside you." Linduu said as tears of sadness began to fall from her eyes. "I forgive you for killing my husband. I forgive you for taking away from me what you did. May you find more peace in the next world than you had here."

 

Linduu began to weep openly. Those were the hardest words she had ever had to say. But none the less she knew she needed to say them. After a few moments she stood to her feet and walked over to T-4.

 

"So my little friend." She said as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "What did you find in the city's mainframe computer?"

I'm not sure I understand your question Pottsie. Could you elaborate?

 

I'll try and explain it a bit clearer.

 

Why did Linduu only think about Jor-el when she avenged his death against Jasra. What about John Onasi? He was killed too by Jasra, so why wasn't he avenged too?

 

I hope that's a bit clearer. I'm looking foward to the final showdown as mentioned before in my previous Post.

Well first off thank you. I am glad you liked the chapter.

Secondly When Linduu said she was going to avenge her husband's death, it was because that was the freshest thing in her mind. Sure there were other things that the Sith took from her, but of all of them that was the most important, and was causing her the most pain. I don't think she really wanted to take the time to run down the entire list before she attacked ;) Does that help answer your question?

@Pottsie--it's natural to think of someone who's your husband and the father of your child before you think of anything else.

 

@RP--nice battle. I liked the emotional struggle that Jasra went through before making her decision. Throwing T4 was funny. :)

 

Edit--fixed T4's name. :)
