Agree with Ironhide why is it called football in the States? The ball is in their hands...
Could be called "hardball", "toughball" or "soft-rugby"?
Anyways, eagerly waiting for the update!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Up a little bit early tonight. Family activities to attend to, so I'm sure you understand.
This is pretty short, but another update is forthcoming this weekend. Either Saturday or Sunday.
Chapter Eight, Part Three (finally)
Previously...
Righting himself, he gave a pleased nod at the child. He turned to peer at the other four nearby cribs and their fitful occupants. Then, he walked past the black, metal rod sticking up out of the ground with the glowing crystal set atop of it in the center of the circle of cribs to gaze around the entire room and the many other clusters of cribs. His saddened frown returned, accompanied by a growing anger.
There are so many! How could anyone do this to a child? He thought, his hands clenching into fists, a scowl spreading across his face.
The glow of the crystal behind him intensified for a handful of seconds, then reverted back to normal.
What kind of animals are these Marauders? These children are innocent! They should not have to endure such things! He thought, nearly shaking with fury, filled with a sudden power.
The glow of the crystal behind him suddenly erupted with intense light. Noticing, Logan spun and was forced to shield his eyes from the radiance. As shock and confusion took over his anger the intensity subsided back to a dull glow.
Puzzled, he walked up to the crystal and crouched down to inspect it. Strange, black markings—ancient writing of some kind—were carved into each of the crystals eight sides. He waited for some time for its glow to intensify again, but nothing happened. He stood back up, still looking down at the crystal. He reached out a hand to touch it. A sudden sense of danger filled him and he recoiled the hand. Brow furrowed, he peered down at the crystal, wondering why reaching out to it should have caused such a feeling of danger. He reached out the hand again, and as he did he realized it was not his reaching out to the crystal that had alerted his senses, but something else entirely.
Eyes wide, he spun around to find the priestess standing just a few steps behind him, her all-black eyes staring at him with fury as she reached out with those black-clawed hands for his throat.
“HOW DARE YOU DISTURB THIS DOMAIN OF THE DAMNED!!” she boomed.
Logan recoiled from the horrifying woman’s outstretched hands, fumbling at his belt for his lightsaber. Towering over him, she came forward with those stiff steps, her onyx eyes sharp with hate.
Awakened by the priestess’ shout, infants in cribs all around them began to wail. A chain reaction started that quickly spread throughout the room, filling it with deafening cries.
His panicked hands finally found his weapon. He shot the hilt into the quickly shrinking space between those clawed hands and his throat, but just before he could thumb the blade on the priestess made an incredibly swift swing, knocking the lightsaber out of his grip. His mouth fell open as he watched the gold hilt tumble through the air, then clank onto the cold stone floor and disappear underneath a cluster of cribs several meters away. He stretched out a hand in the direction of the hilt, trying to call to it through the Force, but the priestess was upon him before he could.
Those spindly hands wrapped around his throat in a vise-like grip. His eyes bulged and a gurgled gasp for air escaped his lips. The horrible woman leaned in close, a malicious, fanged grin on her face at seeing such fear and surprise on Logan’s face.
Panicked, Logan began to swing fists at the woman, beating the side of her head and arms in an effort to break her hold. One particularly well-placed swing struck her hard across the jaw, snapping her head to the side with a loud Pop!
The ghostly monster of a woman turned her head back to face him slowly, as if to control the rage brewing within her. But as she turned Logan saw it was not anger that filled her large, onyx eyes, but a sadistic glee. Blood trickled down the corner of her lip—deep maroon tracing a jagged line across her pale skin. She raised her head to the ceiling as if basking in the pain. A long, black, forked tongue emerged from between those pointed teeth and she lapped up the blood with pleasure.
Logan watched in disgust, his face growing redder by the second from lack of oxygen. The priestess turned her face back down to peer at him, that grin still splitting her mouth. But then, all of a sudden, that lustful smile was gone and the rage finally surfaced. The crystal dangling from the chain around her neck pulsated with a green glow. Barring her teeth in a guttural growl, she tightened her grip around his throat. With unnatural power she raised him up off of the ground, leaving his feet dangling and kicking in the air.
Logan tugged desperately at her hands, trying to pry them free with what little energy he had left. They would not budge. His mind raced with panic as he felt the life being squeezed out of him. He tried to think of a way to get out of the situation, but could not. Fear bombarded his mind not only from within, but from all around him, smothering any rational thought. He could feel Darkness circling hungrily around him; feasting off of his fears, amplifying them with every bite It took. It was taking him, stealing his will to resist.
Yet before it could consume him he made one final effort against it. Reaching behind him to the back of his utility belt, he retrieved his weapon of last resort. Bringing his right hand up, he flicked the vibro blade on and stabbed down into the priestess’ left arm. She gave a startled scream of pain and released him, recoiling and clutching the cut in her arm.
Logan fell in a heap on the floor, gasping and coughing as precious air filled his lungs. Fire racing through his chest, he peered up at the priestess through teary eyes. She turned rage-filled eyes to him. The crystal hanging from her neck suddenly erupted with green light as she came forward and reached down to grab him. Still weak, Logan tried to ward her off with a wave of the vibro blade but she was too quick. Picking him up by the shoulders, she raised him to his feet. Gritting her teeth, she plowed the hard bone of her forehead into his face in a powerful head-butt.
Stars filled Logan’s eyes and his body went lax with pain. The priestess gave a growl, and before Logan knew it he was being launched through the air and across the room.
Flailing his arms, Logan watched as row after row of cribs passed underneath him, hoping he wouldn’t land on an unsuspecting infant. Luckily, for the child within it, he barely missed landing within a crib and crashed to the floor just on the other side. He slid headfirst into the base of another and once again stars filled his head.
Rolling over and sitting up as quickly as his bruised and battered body would allow, he shook the fog from his head and peered back in the direction of the priestess. The crystal around her neck continued to pulsate with dark power and the stiffness in her movement seemed forgotten. Like some wild beast, she leapt through the air with great agility. Her purple and black cape flapped behind her as she floated over the rows of cribs and landed just a few short paces away, those long arms already reaching out at Logan to ensnare him once more.
Logan sprang to his feet, ready this time for a fight. Adjusting his grip on the vibro blade he clicked it back on and held it ready. The priestess slowed her approach, her eyes sharp as she watched the blade. Crouched defensively, they began circling one other, plotting their time for attack. Those long arms and talloned hands of hers swiped out at him occasionally, testing his response. Each time Logan warded them off with a quick slash of his vibro blade, keeping his senses clear of the smothering darkness and alert for danger.
Danger came unexpected from behind.
The crystal the priestess wore turned to a burning star, causing Logan to squint to shield his eyes. Those eyes went wide just a second later as he sensed the empty crib rifling for the back of his head. He dove out of the way just in time to avoid being struck by the crib, but as he rolled out of the dive and back to his feet a well-placed kick from the priestess knocked the vibro blade from his hand.
Weaponless, the towering form of the priestess charging at him with relentless wrath, Logan pulled back with a punch. He wasn’t proud of what he was about to do, but this woman was vicious and couldn’t be stopped.
Aided by the power of the Force, Logan lunged forward. His speed surprised the priestess, and she wasn’t at all prepared for the blow that landed in the middle of her face. Her balance was compromised as she continued forward and Logan moved in to capitalize with a knee to her stomach. The air was knocked from her lungs and she doubled over, but before Logan could come down with an elbow to the back of her head she righted herself and swung around with a stunning backhand that sent him flying backwards through the air.
His wits about him much better this time, Logan was able to control his tumble through the air. He landed in a crouch several meters away in the clear space in the very center of the clusters of cribs. Looking up he saw the priestess, crystal radiant with green light, charging towards him with incredible speed, his vibro blade in hand. Logan tensed as he stayed crouched, plotting his next move. But then, a glint of metal caught the corner of his eye. He didn’t have to look. He knew what it was. Confidence filled his gaze as he peered up at the charging woman.
The priestess was nearly upon him now, murder in those black eyes. At the last second Logan stretched his right hand out to the side and called upon the Force. His golden-hilted lightsaber jumped to his hand from underneath the nearby crib with ease, as if it longed to be there. In one swift motion he ignited the silver-black blade and sprang to his feet, swinging the deadly beam of energy in an upwards arch.
In the split second before the blade found its mark Logan saw something unexpected in the priestesses eyes—surprise and horror. Not at being bested in battle and the knowledge of her own impending death, but shock at seeing what she had and recoiling in fear from the very blade her enemy wielded.
Logan stood over her fallen, lifeless body for some time, perplexed. The hum of his lightsaber was the only sound in the chamber. The crying had ceased the second the priestess died. He turned to inspect the silver-black blade, turning it over as he did, pondering what it was about it that had elicited such a response from the priestess. Nothing looked out of the ordinary with his former Master’s blade. It appeared just as it had every other time he had activated it.
His brow still furrowed, Logan gave the priestess’ body one final look, then deactivated the lightsaber and turned to peer around the room. There was little he could do with the children now, by himself. He would have to come back with more men. An entire strike force and take the base. Then, he would be able to save these children and give them peace. But first, he had to get off of the planet and out of the system alive to be able to return.
Regretfully, he turned and dashed out of the room, hoping to make it to his ship before the priestess’ body was discovered by one of her underlings.
More to come this wonderful holiday weekend!!!
Stay Tuned!!!
