(Kashyyyk.)

Chapter four:

Engine's roared and gun's fired as the battle of Kashyyyk began. Vader and Rift stood behind the line's waiting for the signal of the Imperial Commandos.

In their camouflaged uniforms the Commandos snuck behind enemy line's without a sound. The leader signaled to one of his subordinates to aim his rocket launcher towards the gate switch. He aims. Swoosh. The missile left and blew up the switch but the gate did not open. Gun fire then rang out from the Wookies and the Commandos.

This is Fx-12. There on to us they had decoy switch were going to...

Just then a Wookie helicopter appeared before them with a Wookie who had a chain gun in his hands. He smiled and growled.

Fx-12 are you there Fx-12. The lieutenant could hear the gun shots in the background. Inform Lord Vader. Said the lieutenant.

Darth Vader watched on as the wall still stood. He started to become pissed when they came back he would kill them for taking so long.

A Stormtrooper walked up behind Vader and said. Lord Vader the Imperial Commandos have been killed.

Vader responded with. Then I will do it myself. As Vader began to walk towards the Wookie stronghold Rift ran up to him.

Master let me go. Said Cale Lestin.

And why do you wish to go in my place? Asked Darth Vader.

I sense that you do not trust me Master that I am a liability to you. So let me prove my loyalty and strength to you. Said Cale Lestin. Vader stood there for a minute and at that moment saw himself when Obi-Wan was teaching him.

Vader sighed and said. You have one minute then I will take over. Take that detpack over there and this. Vader handed him the saber from his belt. You'll need it and may the Force be with you. Cale bowed and said. I will not disappoint you my Master.

With that Rift leaped into the air and on to the battlefield. For the first time in a long time Vader trusted someone besides himself in battle. He had learned a lot in a short amount of time. As he looked on he knew he would have to join the battle or the troops would not survive. He hoped Rift would destroy the switch before then.

Rift jumped into one of the huts attached to the tree's and ignited the red lightsaber and destroyed all of the Wookies inside. He would have to sneak in from the side because no matter how powerful the red lightsaber was it could not deflect hundreds of blast at once. He jumped from pillar to pillar and on top of the fortress the Wookies had built without a sound.

Vader couldn't stand there any longer if he did the Wookies would get the upper hand. He jumped and glided down to the sands of the battlefield.

Vader had entered the battle and he would make sure that they knew it.

He used the Force to push about 20 Wookies back. He grabbed one Wookie and choked it until it became unconscious and then let it go. Vader was powerful but he couldn't take on a army.

Rift was the Empires only hope.

Rift felt it was time and he jumped down and battled Wookie after Wookie getting scratched and shot a couple of times but he still battled on until out of the corner of his eye he spotted the gate switch.

He threw the detpack and detonated it. The fortress wall then fell. He had did it with time to spare.

A shot rang out and grazed his shoulder. Cale Lestin yelled and gave the Wookie an angry glare before he used Force lightning to kill the Wookie.

When he looked out over the barricade he saw hundreds of Stormtroopers jumping off ship's and capturing Wookies. Vader saw the wall fall and looked up to see his young apprentice bruised and breathing hard.

He looked down at Vader and he nodded.

They had won.
