Star Wars: Legacy of Teta (%)

CHAPTER 1: RISE OF THE KRATH (sneak peek)

"We must run!" Teta woke with a start, "What is going on?!" Soon she heard it, the sound of fighting, pulse weapon fire, clashing of swords, and people screaming in the distance. Dan one of her bodyguards closed the window shutters. "Your brother Satal and cousin Aleema have started a civil war! They are leaders of the group that is attacking the city, they call themselves the Krath! They captured Lord Keto and are killing all the other noble houses!" Teta got out of bed obeying. Rushing for her closet grabbing what little items she had. "Hurry!" Dan hissed. She grabbed a book and a short sword. They left her bedroom. Dan escorted her down a hallway. "Satal and your cousin are coming for you. You don't share their ideas and can oppose your brother's rule and right to the throne. I must get you to safety."

Now going down a stairwell and out of the Keto family estate. Now in a courtyard with lush vegetation. They followed a stone path. Suddenly two droids stepped out of the darkness. "Hand over Princess Teta." Teta drew her sword she was ready. Adrenaline coursing through her she yelled! "RAW!" She leaped toward the closest droid and cut its arm off with her sword.

Dan and the other droid both pulled out their own pulse-wave blasters. Dan shot first, nailing the droid in the head. At this moment Teta cut the other one's head off. She smiled. She had sparred with her older brother Satal before or some the their guards back in their early teenage years. That quick fight brought back memories. She almost cried right then and there remembering Satal and Aleema were traitors to the Teta nobility.

Dan grabbed the other blaster from the droid he killed, he held it out to her. She took it nodding. She needed a range weapon to defend herself. "Come on we must go." They both moved but the screams and blaster fire Teta heard it again. She looked down at the valley below them the great city of Cinnagar. Fires in the streets below, screams of women and children, pulse-wave weapon fire throughout the city, and marching of Krath droids and cultists.

"I my family had a future here. But all I see now is our family bringing ash and ruin. What happened to my brother and cousin why are they doing this?" Teta pondered out loud.

"They have committed treason. Whatever their reasons are and whatever happened to them that's not important right now I must get you to safety. You are now the true and rightful ruler of Teta system." Teta nodded, she looked at Dan, "Let's go."

"Quickly things changed under the new regime, the Krath regime. Our people used to believe in many things. One of the things that changed was the trials. Criminals don't get to be tried they get executed publically. When I escaped my family's estate my brother and cousin quickly labeled me as a criminal and traitor. But things are about to change."

Imagine Dragons - Radioactive ( cover by J.Fla )

Somewhere in the mountains. Down below walking up the trail was a group of Krath droids taking up the rear following Krath cultists, they consisted of other nobles, some friends others loyalists who joined Satal and Aleema movement, servants, slaves, and hired mercs.

Teta, and Dan, were in the trees. The rest of their forces were also lying in wait behind bushes, rocks, and boulders. Dan armed with a frag grenade looked down at their friend Sam who also had a frag grenade armed. Both men nodded their heads tossing them at the enemy! BOOM! BOOM! Explosions! Screaming! Krath cultists running! Fire! Teta jumped down from the trees landing near a burning Krath cultist, he was screaming as the flames were burning his skin, and with sword drawn she sliced him down putting him out of his misery. Dan, Sam, and other men and women had their pulse-wave blasters out firing at the Krath taking out two more cultists, the Krath droids were the first to respond firing their pulse weapons.

To Teta's horror, one droid landed a headshot on a woman she barely knew but a friend she was nonetheless. Angered by this she rushed to the next closest target another cultist who failed to fall back. "RAH!" She raised her blade bringing it down on his head before he could turn around in time to face her. She pulled out her sword and his body hit the floor. Soon it was quiet besides the flames created by the grenade explosions.

She stood there, lowering her blade, after several minutes Dan and Sam approached her as their group grabbed weapons and supplies they found on the cultists and their fallen. "How many did we lose in that skirmish?" She asked.

"You don't want to know," Dan replied.

Teta turned to him a tear beginning to fall from her face, "Tell me."

"Seven," He finally said looking at the ground.

She grimaced at hearing the number. "I told you, you didn't want to know."

Teta stood back sitting down she almost felt vomit come up but she managed to swallow it back down. "How will I. . .no how will we all. . .Ugh! How will we unite and free the seven worlds from the Krath's control?"

"With hope," Dan said, "And firepower."
