The Rebel Faction

It took all of ten minutes for Ren to escape the cargo station and arrive outside Sienar towers.

It was extremely strange that he was seemingly allowed passage through the energy viel surrounding the planet, it was as though a hidden force was beckoning him deep down into the bowels of Sienar corp. Ren could sense something or someone in the research facilities deep under the surface, at least he thought that it was him that was sensing it.

<font color=red>"He's here."

<font color=blue>"What?! Are you sure?"

<font color=red>"Absolutely my friend. He is much more punctual that I anticipated.I would suggest you leave now if you do not want to get involved in any uneccessary combat.Go back to your ship and after I have dispatched Janggar I will rendevous with your ships in orbit. Then we will continue on our journey."

<font color=blue>"Very well Master. Give that @#%$ one from me."

<font color=white> Anacron left without delay leaving his dark master to confront Ren.
A sinister smirk washed over the Dark Master's face, his quarry had arrived.

<font color=yellow>........................

Ren came up to the last door in a long security corridor leading into the main research bay.

<font color=lime>"This is it, whatever did all this to me is beyond this door."

<font color=yellow><font face=Machine ITC TT>"Please Enter voice authorization code"</font face=Machine ITC TT>

<font color=lime>"Computer recognise security clearance Janggar Beta six four four zero Sienar."

<font color=yellow><font face=Machine ITC TT>"Confirming . . .

Identity confirmed

please proceed . . .

Mr Janggar."</font face=Machine ITC TT>

<font color=white>With a ear piercing hiss the door in front of Ren opened in a haze of white coolant clouding his view.

Ren placed a foot in the room, then another, gaining his ground.

Ren stepped out of the thick viel of gas to find no-one in the room. Either Ren was dealing with spectres or someone was playing an awfully dastardly trick on him.

Then he heard it.

<font color=red>"Ha ha ha ha,Ha Ha ha."

<font color=white>A strange inhuman laughter coming from somewhere in the room.Taunting him.

The laughter grew louder.

<font color=red>"HA Ha HA AHAHAHA HA HA!!!!"

<font color=white>Ren Drew his saber and ignited the orange blade.He tried reaching out with all his sense but to no avail.

<font color=lime>"Show yourself! Whoever you are, I'm not afraid to fight you!"

<font color=red>"Your thoughts betray you young one, the fear his stirring inside you, it's scent is on the air. And it is all too clear.

<font color-lime>"What do you want?"

<font color=red>"The question is, what do you want?"

<font color=lime>"What are you talking about?"

<font color=red>"What do you want Ren? Do you really want to continue in this dreary existence, this pointless endevour of what you call a buisness? You call yourself a Jedi, I find your ability to simply abandon your faith very troubling."

<font color=lime>"What?I didn't abandon anything!I'm still a Jedi."

<font color=red>"Believe what you want young one, but the truth is you don't have, nor have you ever been a Jedi.You are a mockery to the force, the dark or the light would be disgraced to have you dwell withing it's being.

<font color=lime>"Stop it!!"

<font color=red>"Oh, hit a nerve have I? Why coudln't you have stayed in the dimension that I created for you? At least there your efforts would have amounted to some sort of meager existence worthy of recognition, maybe there you could have gotten rid of the disgrace of a life you lead here!"

<font color=lime>"Damnit! If you're not going to show yourself then I"m going to find you!"

<font color=white>In a fit of anger Ren began swiping furiously with his saber, cutting up equipment and instruments around him in a melee of destruction.

<font color=lime>"Get out here!!<font color=white>Screamed Ren insesantly.

<font color=red>"Very well!"

The Master appeared abrubtly in Ren's path, eyes awash in a sea of Red energy.

<font color=red>"You wanted to see me, now you will."

<font color=white>The master lashed one of his hands out towards Ren, unleashing a blue hail of force energies into his chest.

The blast launched Ren across the research hanger and into a pile of equipment. Ren lay clutching his chest which had been burned, almost charred by the bolts of force lightning.

<font color=red>"You are such a fool to beg for your own destruction. It is only fitting that I aid in its completion. Fool, powerless young fool."

The Hyperspace fighter blasted it's way into the upper atmosphere at high velocity.

One the bridge of the Dauntless, Anacron saw the streak of Ren's fighter flying up from the glowing energy barrier of M'haeli.

"Ahh, my Master approaches, send a communique to him, tell him that he will be brought in now."

"Sir the fighter is not acknowledging our hails and is moving away from us at high speeds."

"What?! Lay in a pursuit course, activate all weapons, and prepare the tractor beam!"


.................................


Within minutes of breaking into the atmosphere, it had become pretty evident to Ren that the Master's henchmen had figured he wasn't at the helm. Turbolaser fire rocked the fragile fighter from side to side. His shields wouldn't protect him at this rate.

Then it hit him.

The craft was built around his experimental hyperdrive, if he could use it now, he could escape.



Ren flicked back the cover to the PulseDrive activater, he drew in a deep breath, before depressing his thumb onto the button.


A beautiful hum surrounded the area, and a flash of light consumed the surrounding craft.

Time, space, everything around seemed to freeze.

The stars smeered themselves across space so slowly that it felt like one could reach out and grab them.


Then a bright light appeared ahead, and the fighter shot into it, sending Ren into the back of his seat, tensing every muscle in his body.

Then he passed out.

Cora brushed back her hair nonchalantly and gazed up at the monitors. "This is going to be a very interesting part of my trip," she thought,"very, very interesting."

She placed her hand on her blaster and turned to Kas.
"Well, sir, I'm ready whenever you are."

Cora aftering watching Kas leave, went down to her bunk where she gathered up clothing, weapons, and general necissities. She then packed her clothing and necisities in a small totebag and changed into a flight suite. She attached all of her weaponry to a belt, put her hair up, and then sprinted down to were the shuttle would be.
