Grant started through the forest where he always met RA and hoped RA would be there. And RA was, but she wasn’t in much of a mood to socialize with anyone. In fact, right there, in the middle of a dreary clearing, was RA herself, sprinting around as if to avoid an invisible force. Far off on the other side stood a dark, brooding figure, blades curved in his hands. Grant noticed RA, and noticed she was looking at something, but he wasn’t sure what. The figure gave one look at Grant, and flicked his fingers. Immediately RA fell over, like a pesky bug the man had flicked over. RA bellowed something in a strange language, almost as if cursing him, but the man paid no attention. He gave Grant a strange look, as if analyzing the best way to destroy him.Grant noticed the man, and stared at him, and wondered what he was doing. Out of comfort he activated his lightsaber, although it would be of no use. The man removed the hood that covered his face. His eyes, the most clear color of green, dripped like poison, and he smiled his the smile of a crook. RA gave an inward groan, cursing the man’s power, and gave Grant a look, warning him of the man’s strange abilities. Grant knew he had to do something, but nothing would pop into his head, so he closed his eyes, and thought. Quickly he thought he could use the Force on the strange man, but wondered what would happen. But the man, clever as he was powerful, merely laughed off Grant’s force.
“Grant,” said a clear voice in his head. It was RA. “You cannot win this fight. He has the ability to create illusions and mess with your mind. He is immune to most powers and has as much brains as power.” Grant could feel his confidence waning, but he knew that this man would not allow anyone to leave the forest alive. He raised his lightsaber, feeling its power, and prepared for the man’s next move.
But it never came. He watched as RA barreled into the man, a scowl on her face. Grant watched, hoping this meant the man would be hurt even though he knew he probally would not be hurt. He wondered if RA and the man had encountered before, because they seemed to share a mutual hate. RA grabbed her daggers, stabbing forward but the man took his own and counterblocked. Grant ran and tried to stab, but he jumped away. Grant knew that his daggers would be worthless against lightsaber which would slice it to bits, but RA didn’t have a lightsaber! Grant knew 2 against 1 wasn’t supposed to be a fair fight. If the law of logic played out RA and Grant would win for sure. But then he realized this was no ordinary man, and that what if…RA, her powers as a sorceress combined with his lightsaber power could defeat the man? But then Grant remember something he shouldn’t have forgotten. He had 1,200 lightsabers, although he mainly used one. He yelled to RA, “Close your eyes,” RA clamped her eyes shut, though decided to watch through her mind. She still wasn’t very sure she trusted Grant.Grant , sure that RA’s eyes were shut, pulled off his chestplate and pulled out one of the extra lightsabers he kept. He Forced the chestplate back on, and then yelled, “I’m ready now,”
