(Trouble in the Empire part two. )

Chapter seven:

The Stormtroopers onboard the Death Star had talked about this fight for the past two hours. Bets had been placed and none were on Mara.

The lightsabers spun around so much that it looked like four sabers were being used. So far the fight was going in Venus's favor.

She was backing Mara near a Tie Fighter that had been left on deck. Mara jumped onto it and Venus followed. Mara was slashing her saber from the right to the left but nothing worked. Vader had taught her well.

Mara jumped behind Venus and Venus spun around to block her attack but the attack never came because Mara slashed through the wing of the Tie Fighter and it fell with Venus with it. It looked as if it would fall on top of Venus but she threw her saber into the air and cut the wing in two so it didn't touch her.

Mara got angry it was time to cheat.

She slowly opened a pouch and jumped up and slowly grabbed another lightsaber from the pouch. Venus blocked both sabers barely and said. You never said we could use two lightsabers.

I never said we couldn't either. Venus tried to block both saber attacks but it was getting harder and harder. Venus used the Force to grab a piece of the Tie Fighter wing and threw it at Mara but she threw her lightsabers to cut it to pieces.

With Mara distracted Venus dashed towards Mara and hit her right arm with the lightsaber. The arm dropped the lightsaber and went numb. Mara backed away blocking Venus's attack. Mara had no choice she would have to use her ace.

She had planted a blaster near the battle just in case it didn't look like she would win. Mara used the Force to aim the blaster and fired. Venus fell to the floor surprised by the attack. She tried to get back up but couldn't. Mara pulled the lightsaber towards her that Darth Vader had given to Venus and slashed it so it could never be used again.

No. Venus groaned.

Look at Darth Vader's apprentice now. Mara grunted the last word as she kicked Venus across the floor. Mara took her one arm and used Force Lightning to strike Venus.

Venus screamed in pain as her body began filling with electricity. The Stormtroopers raised their guns and said. Drop your lightsaber and put your hands in the air.

You would choose this weakling over me? Replied Mara.

The Stormtroopers stood there. Drop your lightsaber, they yelled. She threw her saber at the door lock and the door closed. I've gotten sick and tired of your praise. She shocks Venus some more than stops.

All the Emperor could talk about was how you were the Empire's prodigy. She shocks her some more.

Well you can't take over the Empire if you're dead. She lifts her lightsaber as the door opens. This is the end.

She brings her lightsaber down only to meet another crimson red lightsaber.

She looks up to see the wielder and is terrified by him.

His breathing symbolizes the death of most people it was him the Dark Lord of all the Sith, Darth Vader.

Mara: Lord Vader you weren't expected to be back for another couple of hours.

Don't dodge the subject Mara Jade. You tried to kill my apprentice and to me that is unforgivable. Mara's lightsabers powered down and Vader picked Venus up and carried her over to some Stormtroopers.

Take her to the medical wing and see if she's alright. Mara said in a cocky tone. You baby her way to much Darth Vader.

Darth Vader turned around slowly she could almost see the anger radiating off him. He walked up to her and got in her face. Watch what you say to me or you will end up dead. Darth Vader said in a deep dark voice.

Mara: You wouldn't dare touch me.

Vader: You won't talk your way out of this one.

The Emperor wouldn't let you... She was cut off by Vader. I will take the Emperor's displeasure if it keeps you out of my sight forever. Vader reignites his lightsaber and so does Mara.

Mara tries to use Force Lightning on Vader but he blocks it with his hand. She also used the Force to heal her hand that Venus had damaged earlier. With her hand healed she tried to defeat Vader the best she could but to no avail.

Vader was matching her moves with just one hand. Tired of fighting, Vader Forced pushed her against a wall and chokes her.

Look at the Emperor's favorite now. Vader said in a mocking tone. He then threw his lightsaber piercing Mara's chest. Her head fell down. Vader pulls his lightsaber back towards him and places it in his belt.

He walks off and turns to a Stormtrooper. Get that filth out of my sight. The trooper salutes and says. Yes sir.
