The Resistance

BEFORE........

"You don't know what you've done by taking it! But you will soon enough!"
 Kylo's voiced echoed out through the trees behind me.


It was true, I didn't know, I wouldn't have any real idea until I could examine it closer, but I sure as hell felt the lash of a searing hot bite of a lazier bolt!The jolt was like lightning hitting my left shoulder propelling forward faster then my feet could carry me. As I stumbled into a roll I felt it, the wound it felt almost like what I imagined hot larva would feel like as it ate away at your skin. your flesh.

Wincing I scrambled back to my feet, taking cover behind the closest trees trunk while I checked to make sure I still had the artifact safely tucked away beneath my tunic.
I could feel the warm wetness of my own blood upon my skin, it did nothing to dampen the searing pain, the feeling of burning from the inside out as I pushed off from the hardened bark and made the last bolt to my hovering Starship.

Kicking off with my left foot, I pushed hard into the ground with the ball of my landing right; propelling  myself up into air and reached out momentarily grasping hold of a low hanging branch with my left hand. The exertion of my bodies weight, propelled me  swiftly forward into a somersault, simulating the power needed for a 'force leap to direct me to slowly closing ramp of my ships airlock.

Landing hard upon a bent knee, I winced away the pain and stumbled quickly inside before hearing the airlock close behind me.
"Get us out of here T7....NOW!"
 I yelled making my way towards the medic compartment and grabbed some gauze and some Medi Fect Antiseptic as the ship lunged hard to the right scattering the the rest of the supplies across the floor to a bid to avoid the the lazier fire from the ground below.

Quickly I rummaged inside my tunic pulling free the artifact. At first, it didn't feel like nothing, no more then a broken transmitter or holocron. But I turned it over examining it within my hands, I felt it. Cold, hard, unforgiving. A feeling like sinking into quicksand made of despair and not being able to stop it. it was dark, I could feel it trying to suck all hope from my heart. I could feel it's emptiness the way it played with my mind. Quickly I reached out putting it down upon the bench and stood staring at it.
It was hard to pull my eyes away and some part of me, maybe it didn't want too... it was dangerous. Too dangerous!
I wasn't sure how my holocron got in my hands but I found myself staring at the flickering blue projection that was Illyria's face.

"I've got it"
I confirmed and breathed in. The next part, there was no easy way to say it. To go against what your Master had sent you to do. Even if it was the right thing to do.
"But I'm not bringing it to you!" There! I'd said it.
"It's too dangerous. I'm gonna try and destroy it!"
Quickly I shut off the holocron, before she had a chance to reply or try to get me to change my mind.
I knew they'd be consequences for my actions. I knew I was risking ever becoming a Jedi Knight. But sometimes, doing the right thing,  it meant sacrificing your ambitions, your own dreams. The artifact was dangerous, dangerous to any member of the Jedi Order. The spores of its darkness I could already feel them cloaking the room, contaminating the air I breathed.

"Beep ..whistle, squeak ...bleep" T7 was asking where to set our course too.
I wasn't sure where, it had to be somewhere that if I couldn't destroy it, the artifact would never be found....
"Mustafar!..." Finally I announced! Reminded of its volcanic and larva filled surface by the searing pain that filled my right shoulder.
True it was now used as a focus for meditation on the power of the dark side of the Force. It was said that Darth Vader once even had a dwelling there.  But it had also once, long before been a planet that 'Kanan Jarrus' an old Jedi Knight, had said the Jedi would travel to, to die....

I didn't want to die. I didn't intend to if I could help it! But the larva pools, if they didn't destroy the artifact...they'd be no finding it, in them. All I had to do... was sneak in unseen and get my arse back out of there quick!

As I felt the Ships thruster's position our course ready to enter hyper-drive, I reached for the medi fect wash, and tipped the whole bottle down over my right shoulder. I could hear myself scream out, it was like fighting fire with fire!  I wanted to buckle and writhe around on the floor in agony.
Breathing rapidly through gritted teeth I pressed the gauze down onto my right shoulder, hoping that I woke, it would be more tolerable. That we'd be entering Mustafar's gravitational orbit......

NOW........

The voices?....Something wasn't right! I was alone on the Ship. Just T7 and me! My mind, it hurt it felt like I was trying to grasp hold of an oil slicked rope to stop myself from drowning in the darkness that once again threatened to consume me.
Stretching out my fingers I grasped hold of the soft cushioning beneath me and felt the fire explode across my lower shoulder and rip through my chest. It made me gasp, exhaling my breath quickly and I forced my eyes open.

There is a moment for confusion. It doesn't matter how motivated or focused you can be upon an objective or goal. I realized that, as the room about me came into focus. It was dark. I could see people moving around, the voices. It wasn't where I was meant to be! It wasn't my Starship and my lightsabers.... they were no longer beside me!

That's when the panic set in! The artifact! No one could get their hands on it! I still wasn't sure exactly what it was.....but I'd felt the draw, the darkness that it was made of. I'd felt the way it had tried to suck any hope from mind.
Pushing myself up to rest upon my elbow I counted the odds, how many I might possibly be able to take out.  My odds of finding the artifact, if they had it and then escaping.
I'd told T7 to set the ships course to Mustafar...What the hell had happened!

It was only then that it struck me. I wasn't bound. In fact they were not really paying me any attention as they moved about the room. There was no Stormtrooper's guarding me. It wasn't dark because I was on an enemy Ship. It was a room, run down brick walls reinforced with steel girders. They were not Empire or First order....I was at a Republic/ resistance base!

"Where am I"... I tried to ask, aware it came out sounding more like a groan as I forced myself up to sit.  "Where's T7?"
I needed answers. I needed to know if the droid had brought us here instead after I'd passed out.
I needed to know if they knew about the artifact and what I was intending to do. Kylo Ren had to be stopped! The artifact had to be destroyed! I just hopped it wasn't too late.

I wasn't sure who I'd expected, but the moment of confusion, it came again as she turned to face me. Leia Organa!....was it really her?
I'd heard so much about her from my Master. About her, about Luke and Han's Solo.  it had felt almost like myth. But in that moment I became aware of just how big this war really was.
It wasn't just about colonies on a single ravaged planet. it was about a whole galaxy!
 These people were real! The struggle, the hurt it was greater then any one person could imagine. Their life's, their beliefs, they made up the Force. The same Force I could feel flowing through me. It was why it was important that there be a balance, good to dark, dark to good.
I had to destroy the Artifact!  It wasn't the pull of darkness I'd felt when holding it. It was the imminent threat, the fear felt by millions of life forces as they were torn apart. A prophecy  of what would come if the artifact was ever activated!

Looking up as she came to stand over me, I asked, "Where am I...." and wondered if I should tell her about the artifact. Warn her before it was too late.........
