	And here - drumms roll - after many delays - drumms roll again - is the next part. Enjoy. The Tale of Darth Vaders Son Luke Skywalker had opened himself completely to the Force. In a sense the Force had become him and he had become the Force as it washed through his body, cleaning it of the stain of the Sith-apprentice poison and guiding his arms in his fight with the lightsaber. His blade always knew where to be, thanks to the sense of precognition the all-binding energy-field provided for him. He also knew for the next moment, where NOT to be, because it might put him in harms way. That was it, Miney realized. The greatest strenght of a Jedi was his faith in the Force. By surrendering themself to the all-encompassing energy-field the Jedi were able to do things ordinary mortals couldn't. Like cleaning their bodies from lethal poisons or defending themself in a fight with lightsabers. For the Force was created by all life and in a way it was life itself, so it was logical, that it would protect life in return. And unlike the Jedi a Sith was unwilling to give up control. Unwilling or mentally unable. What meant, that he or she had to be aware of their actions all the time. That was it. Jedi used the Force for defense, were reacting. What meant, that the initiative was with Miney, not Luke Skywalker. But while she was able to attack the Jedi-Master, she wasn't able to overcome his defenses so she had to go around them. The Force allowed Luke Skywalker to predict her attacks and to evade and parry them, but that only counted for the direct threats against him. Just that looking into the future during a fight by surrendering to the Force wasn't precognition in the classical sense, it was more of allowing a puppet-master with superior senses to pull ones strings faster. "Precognition is a double-cutting sword." Miney thought grimly. "And nowhere is said the puppet-master is perfect. Or able to communicate with us on the same level." Again she remembered the lessons of her Master. "A lot of beings make the mistake of viewing the Force as a god, as a deity. This isn't true for the majority of ordinary beings, because in their daily lives the Force doesn't seem to play a role of significance. But many force-sensitive people consciously or subconsciously equal the Force with an all-powerful and omniscient entinity. They say "May the Force be with you" or "I'm following the will of the Force" and by that build entire religions and superstitions around a natural phenomenem. It is on one side the attempt to bring an ordering and planning hand into an otherwise chaotic universe and on the other side admitting, that their understanding of the Force is incomplete." "The Force might keep you out of harms for the next second. But it doesn't know, where the harm will come from in ten. The future is always in motion." Miney thought. And with that thought in mind, she changed her pattern of attack in a way that wouldn't be recognized by the Jedi-Mastert. Or so she hoped. --- Luke Skywalker could feel the battle take its toll on him. It wasn't physical exhaustion, not yet, but opening oneself to the Force and letting it flow through you always came with a price. Like a river channeled through a bed made of sandstone. In the short term there was no difference noticable, but every litre of water took a small corn of sand with it. Not like Yoda or Obi-Wan having their whole being including physical body becoming one with the Force, but being transformed piece by piece. Once Luke had realised this he had come to the conclusion that a Jedi accepted this willingly as a consequence of who and what he was, but darksiders and Sith were another matter. At times the Jedi-Master had come to wonder if it wasn't the use of the Dark Side itself, that had caused Palpatine to look as rotten as he had, but his resistance to the changes the use of the Force brought with it. At the moment such questions were of an academical nature, however. His opponent might be shorter than him and - being a female - physically weaker, but she was also a lot younger than him. And until now she had shown an almost admirable determination to defeat him. In combination with the poison she had used on him Luke Skywalker had decided, that the best cause of action would be to conserve his strenght and energy and let his opponent exhaust herself. And he could already see, that his strategy was working. The strikes and attacks with the red blade were still coming down on him with incredible speed, but Luke did notice that they were becoming slower, less frequent than before. They were also more off than before, sometimes completely missing, striking into the ground, the walls and into the ceiling with increasing frequency as if his opponent was putting every ounce of strenght into her strikes. The Jedi-Master felt confident, that it was now just a matter of time until the Sith-apprentice was exhausted enough to be easily disarmed and then he would get some of the answers he was looking for. Unfocused for a moment a powerful shove pushed his lightsaber away and for a few seconds Luke was completely uncovered and open to attack. He could already see the red blade coming down on him, cutting him in half. Cursing his own complacency Luke watched in amazement how the red beam missed and cut into the wall next to him. With another cut already there a hole appeared. Luke could suddenly hear the wind on the outside piping. That had been too close to feel comfortable and as Luke looked into the eyes of his opponent he could see the surprise of the Sith-apprentice for missing him. And he also saw something else. Irritiation. As if he had made an unexpected step and brought down a carefully balanced construction. Replaying the last few moments in his mind Luke realized, that the last strike should have hit him. But since it didn't it had to have missed him on purpose. And if the young Zabrak wasn't trying to kill him, she had to be up to something else. Something that couldn't be good. --- Miney knew the frown on her forehead gave her away, but the irritation was stronger than her self-control. Unable to overcome the defenses of the Jedi-Master she had changed her tactic. Since the direct approach - or approaches - were doomed to fail Miney had decided to attempt an indirect approach hidden within her attacks. That had been the new plan and she had followed it. Nothing had prepared her for Luke Skywalker to become careless, so when an opening in his defense appeared she had been unable to exploit it. The Sith-apprentice was biting her lower lip in anger. She could have killed Luke Skywalker here and now, something neither Darth Vader nor Emperor Palpatine, Grand Admiral Thrawn and countless others had been unable to do during the last ten years. She could have given her Master the greatest gift of all, Luke Skywalkers head on a platter, could have caused the New Republic and the new Jedi-order a blow from which they would never recover and she had f...ed it up. Because she had been more in love with her brillant tactic than with achiving the desired result. And now that her opponent was warned it wouldn't take long for him to see through her true intentions. She had to act quickly. --- It didn't take a genius to figure out, that if the enemy failed to exploit a perfect opportunity for victory then the true danger would come from a different direction. And while the Jedi-Master had been called naive more than once nobody had ever insulted him of being stupid. Luke Skywalker knew, that his opponent had made an almost classical mistake of young and well-trained fighters. They were so confident in their abilities, that they started to play with their opponents and lost themself in the beauty and complexity of their strategies, something that was dangerous for two reasons: Defeating the enemy ceased to be the main objective was the first. The second was your opponent not playing along. In a match, where you were fencing for sport that wasn't much of a problem, you could even get a lot of points for a great show, but a battle for life and death was a totally different animal. The fact, that he had fallen prey to complacency of his own wasn't lost to the Jedi-Master. Adding cunning to the list of qualities shown by his opponent Luke realised, that if he didn't discover the true nature of the attack he could still loose. Unfortunately the Sith-apprentice didn't gave him the time for that. --- Using a Force-push Miney forced the Jedi-Master several meters back. Stepping forward she brought her lightsaber down on the walls of the corridor, cutting into the already weakened structure of durasteel and ferrocrete. Showing a feral grin to the Jedi-Master who from his expression finally seemed to understand what she had been up to, she brought her foot in a Force-enhanced stamp down on the floor of the corridor. As they say, it was the last straw on the dewbacks back. From one moment to the other a hole appeared in the ground. The walls were next, long cracks connected the holes cut by Miney's lightsaber. Dust and debris were raining from the ceiling, hiding Luke Skywalker in a cloud of white and grey. The entire midsection of the tunneled corridor, that connected the main complex of the Altraz-prison-facility and its prison-block Nr. Four started to collapse. Doing the only reasonable thing Miney turned around and started to run. --- Keeping his arm above his head in a protective gesture and attempting not to inhale too much of the dust with every breath Luke Skywalker felt his opponent retreating. Staying where he was didn't seem to be such a good idea and after all the trouble the woman had put him through he was unwilling to let her go that easily. Aside from that he needed her to provide him with some answers. Launching himself forward Luke catapulted himself through the air and over the growing gap in the floor. He came down on the other side and attempted to make a roll, but his impact caused this section of the floor to make a dive downwards. Unable to do anything else Luke desperatly tried to get a grip on something, anything, before he would drop out of the corridor and several hundred meters down. -----signature----- My first completet story: Pride's Prize: http://boards.theforce.net/message.aspx?topic=22758760 "In the Battle of Coruscant alone, hundreds of millions of battle droids saw action on the ground and in space.
