DUEL OF THE FATES
Chapter 28
“Veers!” he bellowed. “General, get Firmus!”
He grunted with the impact of the Miraluka’s blade against his and sparks flew around them, lighting up their faces and highlighting the blank skin on Dibs’ face where most beings had eyes.
The General immediately moved to obey, but then the Seventh Sister appeared in his path, even as Commander Fox came to Veers’ side.
She smiled as she whirled her red blade, creating a flaming circle that deflected the blaster shots from both men.
Then Plo felt her gathering power in the Force and she hurled both the clone and the General across the dusty cavern floor, bounding after them and swinging her blade down to decapitate them both in one fell blow.
And he was too far, and entangled with the Tenth Brother to stop her…
Plo yelled in despair, but quite suddenly the woman’s blade froze and the expression on her face would be almost comical if the situation was not so dire.
Mace dropped into the cavern from a small opening above, roaring like a krayt as he did so and landing squarely on the Seventh Sister, rolling with her in the dirt and stones.
Plo didn’t have to repeat his order to Veers.
The General was already on his feet and running for the basalt upon which his friend lay, Wolffe and Fox at his heels.
He slid his arms under that slight figure and lifted him into his hold, before raising his eyes to meet Plo’s gaze.
“Go,” Plo ordered, and the three men turned and ran for the entrance to the tunnel.
