"I'll help too." Ganner yelled as he deflected a stormtroopers blaster shot. "But we're going to have to defeat the stormies before that happens." Taking a shot with the rifle he picked up.

Cade made a great leap towards the Storm Troopers, and swung his Lightsaber to rid of them. He jump flipped on top of the shoulders of a Trooper, and Cade stabbed his Lightsaber through the armour.

He jumped off and flurried his Lightsaber against the Imperials.

"You guys gonna help me kill those guys, or what?"

Lyna ignited her lightsaber. "We're on it! C'mon, Cyan! Chaaaarge!!" She made a Force speed towards the Stormtroopers, and swung her lightsaber in many ways at them. Using her Slave girl moves, Lyna made a split with her legs down to the floor, when a blaster bolt aimed at her. She then started to block the shots with her lightsaber, killing every Stormtrooper in the bolts' way. "Surrender or die!!" Lyna exclaimed.

Cyan made her special Sonic Howl on the Stormtroopers as well. The men were flying around, and crashing into walls. Cyan lowered her powerful howl, and snorted. Then she jumped on a Stormtrooper, and bit his hand. "AHHHH!!! Get it off! Get it off!!" the Stormtrooper yelled.

Ganner threw his lightsaber at the open doorway in which the stormtroopers came. He succesfully hit eveyone in the way, killing about 8 or 9. He caught his lightsaber as he jumped in the air and then landed on the shoulders of a trooper, stabbing his head, then leaping over the crowd of men landing in the hallway.

He unhooked the blaster rifle from his belt and unloaded on the group in front of him, while deflecting the bullets that actually would have hit him. "Crap, this is a little too much for me." He looked at his only escape flooded by stormies.
"Great. Now what." he started running down the hallway, opposite from where the troopers were coming from finding a room somewhat dark, but enough to see.

He felt something behind him so he turned around, igniting his saber, but was too late. He fell to the floor unconcious.

Lyna continued to fight off the Stormtroopers, one by one. She then noticed that Ganner was missing. "Where's Ganner?" she asked herself. Slashing down every Stormtrooper in her way, she ran down the hallway, trying to find him. When she found Ganner lying on the floor in a dark room, she ran in, knelt down, and held him up.

"Ganner? You okay, buddy?" Lyna asked, concernly. She touched his forehead. He was still alive. But before she could help him up, the lights came on, and a bunch of Sith and Stormtrooper surrounded them. Lyna kept Ganner close, making sure that none of these fools would try anything crazy.

All of a sudden, Bonty Zam came out from another door, along with Logan and Jorgan. He laughed. "Welcome, Lyna... and her friend. What a nice reunion we're having." Lyna glared at the ringleader. "Zam! You... you...!" She was about to get up, but a Stormtrooper swung his rifle across the back of her head. She fell down, becoming unconscious with Ganner.

A Sith looked down at them in disgust, and turned to the commander of the Stormtoopers. "Take these Jedi scums to the detention cell, until Darth Nihl comes." Without any questions, the commander bowed and took Lyna and Ganner away to the detention cell.

By the time Cade had killed all the Troopers in the area, he was already too late. He krept behind the doorway to see many Storm Troopers and Dark Jedi taking the unconcious bodies of Lyna and Ganner. There was probably no way he could take them all out at once, meaning it could be suicide.

Then he thought... "With a little help from the crystal... NO! I refuse to be consumed by that... brute thing I turned into!" he had his reasons for not trusting that crystal. Something wasn't right about it. He could feel it!

The only option was probably to follow to group directly to the Detention Area. But he had to disguise his presence, because Sith were no fools! He could take the ventilation shaft to the Detention Area, which would lead to the reactor core of the Flagship. On the way, he could set the explosive charges.

"Then it is settled! I go rescue Lyna and Ganner from a horrible death and blow up the ship at the same time. Everybody wins... sort of..."

He pulled the grill protecting the entrance of the Ventilation Shaft. A horrible smell erupted from the man-sized passage way.

"Ugh... well'p, nobody said being a Jedi was glamorous!" he went stragith through.

"Don't worry, Lyna!" Cade spoke telepathically to Lyna, due to the bond between them. "I'm comming to get you!"

Ganner layed on the floor of a contained room with a force shield. He closed his eyes and dropped his head back to the floor. He shook his head and slowly pushed himself up to a sitting stance. He looked into another inhabitated cell. She looked familiar, he stood up and walked to the Shield. Lyna? Noo. "Lyna you awake? Lyna!" He turned around noticing a small bed and two water faucets, obviously hot and cold.

He walked over to the bed and sat down. He sat there and waited for Lyna to wake.

Lyna began to awake slowly, after that strike she had across the back of her head. She touched her head, and rubbed it. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice.

"Don't worry, Lyna! I'm coming to get you!" It was Cade's voice, telling her that he was coming to the rescue. "Cade?" Lyna slowly sat up on the detention cell's bed. "Ooh... I thought I'd be dead." She looked across the the Force shield, and saw Ganner in another detention cell. "Ganner? Is.. is that you? What happened?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Cyan noticed that Lyna and Ganner were captured. She was worried that something would happen to them, but she had to have hope to save them. Cyan followed Cade into the ventilation shaft, and walked by his side. She squealed, telling him that she'd help Cade find Lyna and Ganner.

"Lyna your finally awake." He walked up to the shield, "I'm not really sure.. All I remember is that I walked into a dark room heard a noise behind me and it went black. Wait... How'd you get in here? And where's Cade?"

The young woman looked down, sadly. "As I was fighting off the Stormtroopers, I found you lying on the floor in the dark room. Suddenly, the lights went on, and a bunch of Stormtoopers and Sith surrounded us. I was about to hurt Zam, when... wham! I got hit on the back of the head. That's all I can remember."

Lyna glanced back up at Ganner. "I don't know where Cade and Cyan's at... but I sense that he's coming to rescue us, along with her. I hope... he doesn't fall into a trap." Her feelings for Cade was kept, and she tried hard not to show it.

"Yikes!" Cade was given a slight shock when he heard the squeal. He turned around to look at Cyan.

"I thought you were a screaching Mynock at first!" he walked over to the Binjiphant. "This sure ain't no place for a little racoon, like yourself! Stick close beside me! And if you can track Lyna's scent, follow it!" Cade suddenly wondered if Cyan had understood a single word he had just said. Afterall, Binjiphants obviously don't speak human language. He looked down at Cyan.

"Whatever, just follow me!"

In the mean time, Cade had to follow the shaft that he knew went straight to the reactor core. Then passed the Reactor Core would be another Ventilation Shaft leading to the detention area. How did he know these things? He opened his senses through the Force, listening to the hums of the Reactor.

Cade turned through the many passage ways and tunnels in the Ventilation Shaft. At a short distance away, he could here the increasing volume of the Reactor Core. He was getting close. Alas, he reached the grill covering his exit of the shaft. He looked out of it and saw the massive, green sphere of energy, rotating around massive field stabilisers. Only two guards were present in the room.

"This was going to be too easy" Cade thought.

Cyan understood what Cade said. Then she snorted. Cyan was sniffing around the ventilation shaft, while following Cade. She hoped that both Lyna and Ganner were okay. If anything happened, she'd be there. Cyan ran beside Cade at the grill, looking at the huge green sphere of energy. She cocked her head, wondering what that thing was.

------------------------------------------------------

Lyna laid on the small bed, and looked at Ganner, and sighed. "I can't believe this. What if Cade gets caught? Or worse... what if he gets hurt?" A sad look appeared on Lyna's face. If Cade turned to the dark side... she'd never forgive herself. She stared up at the ceiling, wondering what would happen to her and Ganner.

"Don't worry about him," Darrick said as he was fidling with the roof of the cell. Ping! "Aha!" a square duracrete plate had broken off the roof revealing.....another duracrete wall? "What? But how?"

Cade observed the Two Storm Troopers. They were engaged to a conversation.

"Gee, these uniforms are so uncomfortable!"

"I couldn't agree more! And what good are they if they can't even protect us against blaster bolts?"

"Some questions we just do not know the answer to!"

The Storm Troopers were facing their backs against the grill. To Cade advantage, he carefully pulled it off, and snuck out of the Vent. He looked down at Cyan.

"Shhhh!" he whispered, placing his index fingers on his lips.

He stayed as low as he can, and krept up to the Stabilisers. He reached in his coat pocket to pull out the charges. Quietly, he placed them all around the machine.

"Hard part was over!" he pulled out the detonation remote, and pressed the Timer Button. This made a loud beep noise, that it got the full attention of the guards.

"Hey! Who the hell are you?" they raised their weapons at him.

"I-I... I am the mechanic! We really need to speak to your boss about the state of these Radiation Field Stabilisers, 'cause they aren't in good shape!"

"It's an intruder! Kill him!"

Cade used the force to lift one of the guards in the air. Then he threw him into the flowing sphere of energy, which made a small eruption.

Cade pulled out his Lightsaber, and Force Pulled the last remaining guard towards him. As the Imperial got close, Cade stabbed the saber through the Troopers chest plate.

"Okay!" He looked at the detonation remote, and set the timer to half an hour. Enough time to grab Lyna and Ganner to get off this boat.

"Lets go rescue those kids, shall we Cyan?"

Cyan squealed happliy, and jumped on Cade's head. Being friends with him was sure cool! She couldn't wait to rescue Lyna and Ganner from the Detention cell, and get off this Flagship too.

--------------------------------------------

Lyna continued to lay on the bed, hoping that she and Ganner would be free soon, before the Sith comes and do something terrible to them. When Ganner questioned himself about something, she turned and looked at him, then sat up. "But how what, Ganner?" she asked.

--------------------------------------------

Bonty and his henchmen walked down the hallway to the hangar. Suddenly, he saw Nihl's shuttle. "Oh great." He waited for Nihl to come out, hoping to tell him about the two Jedi they captured. Other Sith Lords came to greet Darth Nihl as well.

"I once was in this very cell when I was, oh, about 15 years old. I kept something don't remembewr what it was in my mouth when they captured me and brought me here, to this very cell. I was more crafty then compared to now, but I cut or opened a hole in the ceiling and climbed out through a ventilation shaft to the hangar and made my escape in a TIE fighter."

He loked up at the ceiling then back to the floor where he placed the piece of duracrete. "They must have figured out where I escaped and reinforced it, so no one else could manage the same thing."

Cade kicked the Vent Grill of the Detention area, climbed out and picked up his Binjiphant companion then placed it on the floor. He smiled at Lyna and Ganner whom were trapped in the cells.

"What? You didn't think I had forgotten you, have you?"

***

Nihl walked out of the Shuttle, and was greeted by his armada of Imperials, Portions of Sith Apprentices and Masters, and his least favourite Kath Hound; Bonty Zam.

"I find your presence here on my flagship rather irratating, Zam! I trust you're not wasting my time?"

Lyna jumped up from her bed happily when she saw Cade and Cyan. "Cade! Cyan! Thank the Force you're here! We thought we'd die before you came!" She gave Cade a big smile.

--------------------------------------------------

Bonty rolled his eyes and smiled, waving his arms. "Phh! Naw, nothing like that, Nihl. But guess what? We captured two Jedi for you. They're back in the Detention Cells. Skywalker's probably here, but we didn't capture him... yet."

"Yes....." Ganner gave a heart warming smile, "Just jokin man. Glad you could make it. What would very please me is getting us out though." He looked around the room while in the detention cell. "That one creature must have taken our sabers Lyna."

Lyna turned to Ganner, a little confused. "Are you talking about Cyan, Ganner?" When he mentioned "creature", Cyan was the only creature she have seen in the Flagship.

"Guys, there is no time!" Cade walked over to the controls, and deactivated the Force Cages.

"I set the charges for Thirty Minutes, and right now I'd say we have at least Twenty Four minutes left before this ship goes kaflooey!"

***

"I am impressed Zam! But your only failure is capturing Skywalker, and you let him roam free on my ship?" Nihl paced closer, his Lightsaber Cane gripped in his hand.

Lyna ran by Cade's side. "Well... let's go!" Suddenly, she noticed something. "Oh no! Our lightsabers! And that was my mother's!" Lyna saw two weapons hanging on the wall by the entrance. "There they are!" She ran to the lightsabers, grabbed hers, and tossed Ganner's lightsaber to him. "I agree with Cade! Let's get outta here!"

Cyan jumped on Lyna's shoulder, squealing.

----------------------------------------------------

Bonty panicked, backing away. He raised his hands, trying to calm Nihl down. "Hey, hey, hey! Take it easy! I... uh... he might be looking for them right now! I'm sure we'll capture him, Nihl! Just... please put that thing away! It gives me goosebumps!" Logan and Jorgan stood side to side of Bonty, guarding him.

Nihl cackled. He deactivated the Lightsaber.

"It brings pleasure to my ears when someone is afraid. I shall let you off the hook, Zam! Don't fail me again!"

Nihl glided past Zam.

***

"I think we should make for the escape pods! They are only an elevaors trip, and alot shorter away from here!" Cade pointed out, as he walked out of the Detention Area.

Bonty opened his eyes, and saw the Sith pass by him. He looked down and sighed. "Why did I work for this guy? Why? Shouldn't he be following Krayt's orders?" But he didn't care. He followed Nihl, a few feet away from him. Then he whispered to his henchmen, "If any of these Sith try anything dumb... let em' have it." Logan and Jorgan nodded. "Sure, boss."

------------------------------------------------

Lyna nodded in agreement, and followed Cade. As they were walking, Cyan jumped off her master's shoulder, and onto the polished floor. She sniffed. Something didn't feel right. Then Cyan let out a hiss. "What is it, girl?" Lyna asked. She could sense that the Sith was coming to them. "Cade! Ganner! I sense the Sith!"

Ganner ran faster as they entered the elevator. He pressed the button and the elevator went down to their level. "Come on!" Suddenly stopped by a stormtrooper.

"Halt. Aren't you the jedi that are supposed to be in the dentention bay?"

"Uh.....Aren't you supoosed to be greeting Nihl?"

"The jedi have escap....." Ganner sliced the troopers head off before finishing the word.
"Great. They know now." Suddenly the alarms sounded throughout the ship. "Hurry."

Lyna ran with her friends as fast as she could. But when she got to the corner, a Sith grabbed her, and placed his lightsaber by her throat! "Don't you two come any closer! Or the girl gets it." Lyna closed her eyes, hoping that she wouldn't get killed. "What a surprise!" It was Bonty Zam. He came by Lyna and the Sith's side.

"Isn't it surprising when I have my slave girl in hostage?" Bonty laughed coldly. "Ooh, I can't wait to see the look on Nihl's face! This time... I'm gonna get paid big!"

Cade glared at the Ring Leader.

"Let her go, Zam!" anger was flowing through Cade's veins. "Or you'll lose another ear!"

They were surrounded by stormtroopers when he noticed Darth Nihl walking down the hall. "Cade, Look." Ganner said pointing down the hallway barely visible over the troopers heads.

Bonty smirked. "I don't think so, Skywalker! You see, when Nihl comes, he won't have to boss me around anymore! And no one bosses Bonty Zam, Ringleader of the Crazy Bantha Circus, around!!"

Tears began to form in Lyna's eyes. Cyan stood near Cade and Ganner, snarling at the sight of the Sith holding Lyna. "D-Don't worry, Cyan. Everything'll be... okay." She tried to hold on to her courage, but the fear got the best of her.

"We shall see about that, Zam!" Nihl whispered into the Ringleaders ear. He smirked up at Skywalker.

"Our last meeting didn't go so well, Skywalker. From what I remember, you became something... not very pleasant, so to speak!"

Hearing of Cade's transformation was sickening in Cade's ears. Great anger flowed through him at everything! Nihl, Bonty, the Storm Troopers, Cyan. He had never felt this angry before. It seemed like ever since he had recieved that Crystal, he was more atune to his anger. Yet, he was calm and focussed on his last duel with Nihl. Maybe the Crystal was only meant to work during duels? Had he been lied to by Seraph, the man from the Future?

"Leave my friends out of this, Nihl!" Cade shouted. "This is between you and me!"

Nihl cackled with laughter.

"Careful now! Have you already forgotten your Jedi Teachings? Or were they not enough for you?" He took a step closer to Skywalker. "I can feel your anger! Its greater than you can possibly imagine! You should lose yourself to it!"

((Wait... how come you're mad at Cyan, PK?))


Bonty gulped when he didn't realize Nihl was walking up behind him. He stepped back between Logan and Jorgan, standing out of Nihl's way.

Lyna struggled to break free, but the Sith was too strong for her. After hearing what Nihl said to Cade, tears fell from her eyes. "Don't do it, Cade! Don't listen to him! You're better than that! Let go of your anger! Fear leads to Anger, Anger leads to Hate, and Hate leads to Suffering! Please!!"

Cyan whimpered, and looked up at Cade, wondering what was going to happen.

"Now what...." he stood there next to Cade, still not restrained but he could tell everyone of the troopers and Sith were wary of him and the other two, guns and sabers ready. He wanted to fight them but new he couldn't against melee and ranged, Sith and troopers. He looked at Lyna struggle to get out of the Sith grip.

((No reason. Its kinda like "love-hate" relationship between the two. Like with Bender and Nibbler from Futurama, or Atton and T3M4))

"peh!" Nihl muttered in disgust under his breath. "Typical Jedi preachings. Skywalker, you can draw all the power you ever need from the darkside. You could be powerful enough to overthrow the master; Darth Krayt, and take his place as the new Emperor!"

"Why should I accept the word from the murderer of my own father?" Cade glared at Nihl.

"Your father was a fool to pass the ways of the Darkside, like everyother Jedi! But this is a chance of redemption in your name of Skywalker! Join the Sith, and become stronger than you could possibly imagine."

"You dare call my father a "fool"?" a mixture of Rage and Anger filled Cade's entire body. "You-will-pay!" he ignited his Lightsaber.

Ganner turned around and grabbed Cade's robes as he heard his saber ignite. "Cade Stop. Just relax. I'd be mad too but don't kill him while your mad and angry. Worse things happen when you kill for revenge."

((Oh. Okay. :) ))


The Sith that was holding Lyna hostage grew angry at Cade as well. He Force pushed Lyna into a nearby wall, making her unconcious. Cyan ran to her master and licked her. Lyna moaned, her head hurting from that blow she had towards the metal wall.

"C'mon, Jedi scum! Let's see what'cha got!" the Sith exclaimed, igniting his lightsaber, and pointing it at Cade's direction. Bonty stood back along with his henchmen. "Ooh, this is gonna be good! Let's watch!" Bonty said, sarcastically.

((I can delete it, if you want me to :) ))

Cade clenched his fist. And as soon as the Dark Jedi charged at him, he punched the man in the face. Blood rushed out of the guy's nose, and he covered both his hands over his face to stop the bleeding. While doing that, Cade force pushed the guy away against the wall, that knocked him out unconcious.

"That wasn't worth mush of a challenge!" Cade smirked at Nihl. "You got anymore you want to hurtle at me?" he calmed himself to keep his cool, but he still had imprints of Anger and hatred left behind.

He looked at Ganner. "You're right! I'm sorry, guys..." Cade walked over to the unconcious Lyna, put a hand on her forehead to confirm she was okay. Then he stood infront of her, guarding. He raised his blade at the Sith and Imperials. He etimated they had about 24 minutes remaining before the bomb explodes.

((Naw. That's cool, PK. :) ))

Cyan growled at the Sith and Stormtroopers. Then, with her anger rising up, Cyan used her special Sonic Howl on all the enemies. Every last one of them were crashing into walls and flying around. After her powerful howl, everyone looked injured. Cyan squealed, and jumped on Cade's head.

Finally, Lyna woke up, and scattered up on her feet. "Oh... ow. What I miss?" She looked around, curious as to what she saw: all the Sith and Imperials were on the ground, moaning.

Ganner hit the wall hard. But enough to stay conscious. He stood up, "Cade, Now our chance." Noticing he was alright too. He ignited his saber, slicing the arms off a few troopers reaching for their guns. He blocked an attack from a Sith then attacked, parryed, then stabbed him in the chest. He turned around, "Come on."

Lyna followed Cade and Ganner through the hallways, regaining conscious. She ran by Cade's side. "Let's head back to the hangar, before this place blows up!" Cyan ran on the floor along with her companions.

Bonty and his henchmen got up, after that little binjinphant made that strange but powerful howl at them. He looked down at Nihl, and grew worried that he would get angry at him. "Well, Nihl... um, I gotta go run some errands and... bye!" He ran.

Nihl decided to let that fool, Bonty Zam, run off. He was useless for the Powerful Sith Lord.

Nihl stood up, and glared at his remaining Servants.

"Bring them to me!" he hissed. "Alive, if possible! Especially the girl..."

***

Cade ran with the others down the corridors of the Flagship. 20 minutes remaining before this ship goes kaboom.

"Hurry! We should be getting closer to the Hanger!"

Lyna replied, "Right! Oh my God!!" Suddenly, blocking the hangar entrance, were three Sith. Lyna took out her lightsaber, and charged. As she fought one, the Sith woman said, "Nihl wants you all alive." She Force pushed Lyna to the wall. "Especially you." Lyna shruggled. "Why me?"

The Sith woman smiled coldly. "Don't know. We'll see." She used a Force choke on Lyna. The choking almost made Lyna faint. She dropped to her knees and gasped. "Help... me! Somebody!"

Cyan saw that Lyna was getting choked, and she squealed to Cade and Ganner for help.

Ganner ignited his saber, threw it at the Sith woman impaling her right in the face. He force pulled his saber back to him, watching the woman fall to the ground. He caught his saber parrying a blow that barely hit him. He knocked the Sith to the floor, grabbing his saber that slipped from the floor. "Follow us." he said using the jedi trick that was very familiar to everyone by now. The Sith looked at him.

"Ha. I didn't fall for it. But I will follow you. Nihl forced me to join or he would have killed me at my own house. Since then, I've want to kill him more than anything in this galaxy."
"Well lead us to the hangar then."
"Follow me then." the man made a turn none of the three would have made.
"Hey the hangars over there." Ganner grabbed the man's robes.
"Yeah the hangar that is swarming with stormtroopers and with no ships. I know where a small hangar is with a Lambda class shuttle in it." The man said as he started walking again.

"Thanks, Ganner." Lyna got up and coughed. She then followed Ganner, Cade, and the other two Sith to another hangar. "Wait a sec," she whispered to Cade. "How can we trust them? They're Sith."

Cyan jumped on Lyna's head, enjoying the ride. But she also felt suspicious about the other two Sith.

Cade acknowledged what Lyna had said. They were Sith, afterall. He went up behind one, and raised his Lightsaber near the Sith's neck.

"Woah! Not so fast Ganner!" he stared at his companion. "You don't expect to believe the word from a Sith, do ya? If I were you, I'd slay 'em to death before they do something devious!"

"Right now, I sense you're more of a Sith then him. Should I cut, you down now?" Ganner paused for a moment. "Cade, I'm sorry, but if you were Nihl wouldn't you not want yourself to escape? Saying so I'd send everybody to the Hangar and send out all starfighter and other vessels that they could use. You and Lyna can go to see I'm sure they have many troopers in that hangar right about now. I'm following this man." Once done talking, he turned around and started following the man. "Let's go."

((Just to let you guys know: Lyna's gonna tell Nihl about the explosion, so they can all get out.))

Lyna looked down and sighed. "Fine. But if they do something tricky... well..." Lyna wasn't finished, but didn't want to. Then she glanced at Cade. "C'mon, Cade. Might as well." Cyan stayed on Lyna's head, as her master followed Cade, Ganner, and the Sith. Cyan decided to walk on the floor, rather than to ride on Lyna's head.

When they all reached the other small hangar with the Lambda class shuttle in it, out of nowhere, someone comes from the shadow, and grabs Lyna, placing a hand over her mouth. It was a Sith. He led Lyna back to Darth Nihl. When they finally got to him, the Sith threw Lyna on the floor, in front of Nihl. Lyna began to sob.

"What do you want from me?!" She asked Nihl.

((Yup! That's cool with me))

Cade looked around the entire Hanger, and so far so good, the Sith have kept their word. The Lambda was waiting in the center, awaiting for a ride out of the ship.

Cade was about to walk up the ramp of the shuttle, when he noticed one of his companions were missing; Lyna.

"Where the hell is Lyna???" he exclaimed. He ran down the ramp. "S***! And we only have atleast 15 minutes left!"

********

Nihl glared down at the crying girl before him. Then he smiled in satisfactionat the fact she may even fear Nihl. "Well done, apprentices! My master will be very pleased with this..."

He paced the girl.

"You are quite an interesting Jedi specimen. During the moments I have seen you and your companions together, I have noticed a certain... fondness between you and Skywalker."

Nihl reached his senses into the woman's mind.

"Ahh! And I can feel that a bond has been forged between you! Quite interesting, as well as the feelings you possess for him!"

He reached his hand down at the woman's throat, and slammed her up against the wall.

"I intend on using you as bait, in order to lure Skywalker to me! And if all succeeds, I shall have to kill you afterwards!"

Ganner turned around and ran beside Cade, "Try using your Force Bond maybe you can find out where she went." Ganner started heading for the hangar door. "She can't be far. She came into the hangar with us."

Lyna started to cry again. "No! Please! I don't wanna die! I..." She gasped for air when Nihl's hand was still on her throat. "I can tell you that this Flagship will explode in 13 minutes! And we need to get out, quick!" Lyna sobbed. "I know you don't believe me... but I'm telling the truth!"

She then started to Force bond Cade. "Cade! Don't worry about me! I'll be fine! Just... take Cyan and Ganner with you! Go!!"

"Try using your Force Bond maybe you can find out where she went." Ganner started heading for the hangar door. "She can't be far. She came into the hangar with us."

"You may be right! They couldn't have gone far in a short amount of time--"

"Cade! Don't worry about me! I'll be fine! Just... take Cyan and Ganner with you! Go!!"

It was Lyna... she was in trouble!

"LYNA! DON'T YOU EVER DARE TO SAY THAT AGAIN!" Cade responded. "I'M COMMIN TO GET YOU!"

"Ganner! Fire up the Shuttle!" Cade barked. "I promise in about 8 minutes I'll bring Lyna back safe and sound, along with a body bag containing Nihl's corpse!"

Cade ran through the Hanger bay doors.

***

Nihl cackled at the little girl he held by the throat. He dropped her to the floor.

"I have every reason to believe you that there is indeed a bomb onboard this very vessel. I have been expecting it! That is why I have sent a defusal team to take care of the bomb!" ((don't worry, Cade will kill them along the way))

He paced around her.

"Please tell me... induldge me... amuze me! What is it about Skywalker that you find mutually attracting?"
