Mission To Malchor (Part 2)

Shawn chased after Kanan and Ezra jumping over fallen pillars as quick as the wind. Then he saw Maul was waiting on a staircase above, but the Seventh Sister then landed next to him. He jumped on a pillar and saw Maul holding the Seventh Sister in a Force choke before igniting his saber and throwing it, Shawn looked away but heard the whole thing, he heard her hit the ground dead followed by her saber with a loud cling. He looked up and Maul was gone, quickly he approached the side of the temple throwing a cable up where it locked into the stone before pulling himself up.

Shawn pulled himself up the ledge not daring to look at the Seventh Sister who lay dead before running up the steps after Maul, then he looked down and saw Ashoka and Kanan fighting the Fifth and Eighth Brother's. Maul jumped in Force pushing Kanan and Ashoka away before swiftly cutting the Fifth Brothers saber in half and stabbing him through the torso, the Fifth Brother gasped before slumping over dead as well. Maul then attacked the Eighth Brother who blocked his attacks before flying off, Suddenly Maul spun around and struck Kanan in the face. Shawn jumped down igniting his lightsaber and holding it in a defensive posture "now I will wait for the young one to activate the temple or should I say battle station which I will use to destroy all my enemies"

Maul yelled before attacking, Ashoka dashed in blocking Mauls attack before looking at Shawn and saying " go stop Ezra I can handle this!" Shawn nodded before running up the steps to the top of the temple,As he approached the top Shawn drew his blaster and shot the holocron out of Ezra's hand "hey what're you doing?!" Ezra yelled. Shawn yelled back "don't it's a battle station!" Ezra then fired one shot of his stun gun at Shawn, quickly putting his blaster away Shawn stopped the electric stun Ray mid air while pulling the holocron in. Ezra then fired again in quick succession while pulling the holocron in as well,

Shawn blocked the stun rays but saw that Ezra had caught the holocron and placed it in the temple. The spire sparked and purplish lightning fired out with a strong gust of wind as well, Shawn was pushed back into one of the other support columns and saw stars. He pulled his blaster out again and aimed it at Ezra "the power to destroy life is at your command!"a voice yelled from the spire, then Shawn's blaster was kicked away by Ventress "I'll thank him for doing the dirty work for us". Then she was kicked away by the Eighth Brother who'd helicoptered in. "I will do the thanking witch!" The Eighth Brother yelled before attacking again,

Ventress blocked his quick attacks just as quickly before getting a hit on the hilt which sparked causing the blades to flicker. The Eighth Brother then tried flying away but the hilt disintegrated and he fell to his death, Shawn then blocked Ventress's attack but then she jumped away. Shawn put his hand to the back of his head and saw red on his glove but it was hard to tell at first, Ezra then ran over to another side of the temple but Vader landed in front of him "you have unlocked the secret of the temple how did you accomplish this?" Vader said in his usual emotionless tone "you're smart figure it out!" Ezra said before Vader attacked,

Shawn went over to the spire where the holocron was and tried to grab it. But he was knocked back by an invisible force field, he stood up and saw Vader slice Ezra's saber in half "perhaps I was wrong" Vader said raising his blade. "It wouldn't be the first time!" Ashoka yelled, "it was foretold you would be here our long awaited meeting had come at last" Vader said turning around. "We need not be adversaries the Emperor will show you mercy if you tell me where the remaining Jedi can be found" he continued,

"there are no Jedi you and your Inquisitors have seen to that" Ashoka shot back. "Then perhaps this child will confess what you will not" Vader said looking at Ezra " I was beginning to think that after three years I'd know who you were behind that mask but it's impossible my master could never be as vile as you" Ashoka said. "Anakin Skywalker was weak I destroyed him" Vader said with slight disdain, Ashoka shut her eyes for a second before opening them again "then I will avenge his death" she said, "revenge is not the Jedi way" Vader replied, "I'm no Jedi" Ashoka said igniting her sabers and Vader did the same before charging.
