Star Wars: Legacy of Rella/Part 5

Chapter 13 - The Last Battle
The Noble landed into the hangar. Rella, Jeremy, and Sihari stepped out. Small Jedi and Jedith transports came into the dock and unloaded. Han came to them with the Jedi. The hangar loaded with a couple Darth Nihilus'.

"We'll keep them off the attention of you," said Varis.

"Thank you," Han said. He lead the strike team further into the station. Inside was a complicated maze," Split up."

They ran in different directions trying to find their way into the shield generator room. All the other paths lead to a dead end, except the one Rella, Jeremy, and another Jedi came through.

Inside was a cavern with a walkway in the center was Darth Reklus and her highest-ranking Darth Nihilus clone. She turned to them," I see you've gotten through the maze."

The Jedi charged at Darth Reklus, without any concentration, she cut him in the middle and forced push him off the edge. Darth Nihilus spoke an airy dialect.

Reklus pointed her blade at the two Jedi," Kill them."

With that she ran out of the room. Darth Nihilus went into an Ataru stance and started his saber. Jeremy and Rella started theirs'. Darth Nihilus swung his blade, attempting to hit both, but they both easily got around the blade.

"This is too easy," Jeremy said giving a thrust of his blade. Darth Nihilus blocked it. The distraction allowed Rella to give a punch at the Sith. His mask flew off and fell down the dark pit. He had a very protected, but un-nurtured face. His was a very gaunt and skull-like.

"The question of ages has been discovered," Rella said giving another punch. He scrunched his face in anger and kicked Rella in the stomach. She fell back and slipped of the edge. She grasped on the edge as fast as she could. She gave a short scream. Rella got steady and pulled her way up as Jeremy gave an all-out burst of fighting.

Her saber fell off the edge. She used what she could. Rella sent a force light surge at Darth Nihilus. A small orb of light hit his chest and soon captivated him with as thick lair of light. He stood solid and non-moving.

Rella took a deep breath and then walked to him, keeping her hold on the force light. She came face-to-face with him," Where is the shield generator?" She let him move his head only. He sprayed on Rella's face. She lost her concentration and the force light was broken.

Darth Nihilus was running to the door, when Jeremy made him trip. Rella took her saber and put it to Nihilus' forehead. He was struggling to get up, when Jeremy put a powerful force pushing down on him.

"It is in the central room," Nihilus spoke in Basic Language, and it was very visible he hadn't spoke it in a long time. Jeremy let Nihilus go, the Sith ran away in terror.

"I wonder if it was that easy for the Exile," Jeremy remarked.

They followed him out the door, where they saw Darth Reklus' blade through the stomach of Nihilus. She quickly through a small crate at Jeremy. He lost his footing and fell off the edge. He held onto the edge with three fingers, that were slipping. Darth Reklus soon ran away into what looked like the central room. Rella could kill the sith, or save Jeremy. The door to the core room started closing.

"Go!" Jeremy said making the decision for her.

Rella looked at both the door and the slipping Jeremy. Jeremy's hand slipped off, he started making his descent down the dark hole. He instantly stopped. He looked up to Master Sihari holding his hand. Sihari pulled him up.

Jeremy just got up in time to see Rella crawl under the blast door as it closed. Sihari sat down," It's up to her now."

Inside was Rella and Reklus. She already had her blade out. Rella grasped for hers, but she accidentally dropped it.

"You are weak, even with the force strengthening you," said Reklus "You do not know what the dark side can give you. Strength, power, passion."

"It also brings death, suffering, and unending war," Rella argued. Reklus charged at Rella. Rella dodged it and punched Reklus in her stomach. It didn't do any effect. Reklus took another swing. Rella hit the hilt, her hand went limp and the saber flew out of her hand and into the plasma that made the shield. The hilt disintegrated.

Reklus grunted and threw a punch at Rella. Rella flew to the ground and banged her head on the steel ground. Rella took hold of her head for a second. Reklus took her by Rella's neck. She held her up in the air. Rella, quickly losing air, kicked Reklus in the face.

Reklus let go. Rella gave her a force push, she flew into the plasma and burned away screaming. Her flying in made the generator shut down.
