Chapter 7:
The Stormtroopers on board the Death Star had talked about the fight for the last two hours. Bets had been placed and none were on Mara.
The sabers spun around so much that it made it look like four sabers were being used. So far the fight was going in Venus favor.
She was backing Mara near a Tie Fighter that had been left on deck. Mara jumped onto it and Venus followed. Mara was slashing her saber from the right to the left but nothing worked. Vader had taught her well.
Mara had jumped behind Venus and Venus spun around to block her attack but the attack never came because Mara slashed through the wing of the Tie Fighter and it fell with Venus with it. It looked as if it would fall on top of Venus but she threw her saber into the air and cut the wing in two so it didn't touch her.
Mara got angry it was time to cheat.
She slowly opened a pouch and jumped and grabbed another lightsaber from the pouch. Venus blocked both sabers barely and said. You never said we could use two sabers.
I never said we couldn't either. Venus tried her best to block both saber attacks but it was getting harder and harder. Venus used the Force to grab a piece of the Tie Fighter and threw it at Mara but she threw her sabers to cut it into pieces.
With Mara distracted Venus dashed towards Mara and hit her arm with her saber and it went numb. Mara backed away deflecting Venus's attacks. Mara had no choice she would have to use her ace.
She had placed a blaster near the battle just in case it didn't look like she would win. Mara used the Force to aim the blaster and fired. Venus fell to the floor surprised by the attack. She tried to get back up but couldn't. Mara pulled the lightsaber towards her that Darth Vader had given to Venus and slashed it so it could never be used again.
No! Venus said.
Look at Darth Vader's apprentice now. Mara grunted the last word as she kicked Mara across the floor. Mara took one good aim and used Force Lightning to strike Venus.
Venus screamed in pain as her body began filling with 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.
The Stormtroopers stood there. Drop your saber. They yelled. She threw her saber at the door lock and the door closed. I have gotten sick and tired of your praise. She shocks Venus some more and she stops.
All the Emperor could talk about was how you were the Empire's prodigy. She shocks her some more.
Well you can't take over the Empire if your dead. She lifts her saber as the door opens. This is the end.
She brings her saber down to meet another crimson red saber.
She looks up to see the wielder and is terrified by him.
His breathing symbolizes the death of most people it was him the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader.
Lord Vader you weren't expected to be back for another couple of hours.
Don't change the subject Mara Jade. You tried to kill my apprentice and to me that is unforgivable. Vader and Mara's lightsabers powered down and Vader picked Venus up and carried her over to some Stormtroopers.
Take her to the medical room and see if she's alright. Mara said in a cocky tone. You baby her to much Darth Vader.
Darth Vader turned around slowly she could almost see the angry radiating off him. He walked up to her and got right in her face. Watch what you say to me or you will end up dead. Darth Vader said in a dark voice.
You won't talk your way out of this one.
The Emperor wouldn't let you.. She was cut off by Darth Vader. I will take the Emperor's displeasure if it keeps you out of my sight forever. Vader reignites his lightsaber and so does Mara.
Mara tries to use Force Lightning on Vader but he blocks it with one hand. She also used the Force heal her hand that Venus had damaged earlier. With her heal hand she tried to defeat Vader the best she could but to no avail.
Vader was matching her moves with just one hand. Tired of fighting, Vader Forced pushed her against a wall and chokes her.
Look at the Emperor's favorite now. Vader said in a mocking tone. He then threw his lightsaber piercing Mara's chest. Her head fell down. He pulls his saber back towards him and places it in his belt.
He walks off and turns to a Stormtrooper. Get this filth out of my sight. The trooper salutes and says. Yes sir.
