Froze: "Are you sure there is going to be a way of this stupid rock?"
Kira: "Not a fan of Tatooine are you? Is it the heat or maybe the sandpeople?"
Froze: "No I think its..."

Clone troopers follow the two out of the breach in the wall. Taking aim the open fire on the duo.
Froze: "The army of clones trying to kill us!"
Kira: "Aren't they your brothers?"

Kira: "Oh, what gave it away?"

Kira: "Oh, what gave it away?"
Froze: "Shut up and shoot, or else we will end up dead."
Kira: "Can't argue with that logic."
Froze fires nailing the trooper in the helmet, just after Kira had finished off a clone herself.

Jedi Master Stark falls from the balcony and lands on top the speeder.
Froze: "General!"
Stark: "Ugh..."
Froze: "General!"
Stark: "Ugh..."
Stark looks at Froze with dismay. Froze can clearly see that the Jedi is exhausted and has been fighting for a while.
Froze: "You don't look to go. He must be giving you a beating."
Stark: "Froze, you have no idea..."
Froze: "You don't look to go. He must be giving you a beating."
Stark: "Froze, you have no idea..."

Froze can see a familiar face but something is different. Something has changed inside of Carth.
Froze: "I have a bad feeling about this."
"MASTERRRR!"

Froze: "I have a bad feeling about this."
Kira: "You know that psycho?"
Froze: "Yeah, but thats not the same man I knew."

Suddenly the scene turns drastic.

Stark: "Carth come to your senses. Do not go down this road."
Carth: "You old fool! You are just afraid. Afraid of the power I have, of the power I will have!"
Stark: "You are blinded my apprentice..."
Carth: "You old fool! You are just afraid. Afraid of the power I have, of the power I will have!"
Stark: "You are blinded my apprentice..."
Seizing the opportunity Stark jumps over the enraged Carth. Seething in anger the fallen Jedi has lost some of his focus.
Carth is caught off guard. Sensing the darkness in him Stark knows that this fight may very well end one of them.
Stark force pushes Carth away.
Stark: "I can sense the anger in you. I can fell what you have done. Carth how could you?"
Stark: "I can sense the anger in you. I can fell what you have done. Carth how could you?"
Commander Blaze charges into the fight. Prepared to end the life of the Jedi's that he once served under.
Froze: "Where are you going, "brother?""

Blaze goes down. His armor smoldering. He doesn't move.
Stark: "Whatever you do, make sure Froze lives, get him out of here. Now!"
Kira: "I don't usually like your kind, but I will do as you say."
Kira: "I don't usually like your kind, but I will do as you say."
Kira jumps on board the speeder and she activates it. The engines roar to life as she lifts off.
The speeder disappears leaving behind a trail of smoke. Stark can now turn his attention to more pressing manners.
Carth: "I will kill you. I will become more than you can ever imagine! You stand know chance against me Master"
Stark: "I am no longer your Master, nor are you my apprentice. For I have failed you."
Stark ignites his blade prepared to do what he must.

Carth jumps into action. He strike violently and fast.
Carth: "I will strike you down!"
Stark: "No..."
Carth: "I will strike you down!"
Stark: "No..."
All of the sudden Blaze intercedes the two who were locked in lightsaber combat.
Stark: "Blaze this isn't really the best time."
Blaze: "I have my orders."
Blaze: "I have my orders."
Carth enraged at the intrusion attacks the clone trooper with all the force he can muster.
The lighting course through the body of the clone bringing him closer to the edge of death.
Carth: "See the power I hold Master!"
Stark: "Stop it! Carth you don't know what you a tempting with!"
Carth: "See the power I hold Master!"
Stark: "Stop it! Carth you don't know what you a tempting with!"
Stark: "You have forgotten everything I have taught you. You forsake the path of the Jedi."
Carth: "Your teachings held me back. Now I achieve full achieve my power. "
With each strike Stark feels the pain that it is causing him to strike at his former apprentice. Straks knows what must be done, but he can't come to terms with it.

Carth: "I am more powerful than you will ever be. I am the future. There is no Jedi. There will soon only be me."
Stark: "No. No you are a scar. You are a tear in the force. You must be silenced. I now see what must be done."
Stark removes his shoto blade from his belt and ignites it.

With his new found advantage Stark charges Carth. Using his second blade he finds an opening. Stark strikes.
Stark severs the hand of Carth, disarming the fallen Jedi.
Carth: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Carth: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Carth: "KILL ME! KILL ME OLD MAN!"
Stark: "I cannot..."
Carth: "Then I will kill you! I will kill you!"
Stark: "You will die here in the sands of this desert. I have failed you Carth. If only I had trained you better..."
Stark: "I cannot..."
Carth: "Then I will kill you! I will kill you!"

Carth: "I HATE YOU!"
Stark: "I will remember the boy I trained, not the monster I struck down."
Stark: "I will remember the boy I trained, not the monster I struck down."
Hours later Carth was able to channel his hatred and anger. It gave him new life and he marched off into the wastes...
Clone: "One life sign sir!"
Commander Cody: "Get him up."
Commander Cody: "Get him up."
They remove the helmet of the clone only to reveal a disfigured Blaze underneath.
Commander Cody: "Blaze, it seems you have failed."
Blaze: "Cody..."
Cody: "Get him to a tank. Maybe the Empire will have use for him."
Blaze: "You'll pay...You will all pay..."

Author's Comments
This is probably my best episode yet! The battle is really depicting a battle between master and pupil. The old ways and the new. Sith vs. Jedi. I want to really show the despair Stark is in seeing his apprentice who he has raised since he was a boy fall so far. Carth was a hero of the republic, turning CIS victories into huge defeats. Carth had the respect of the Jedi and the Council, they were as reliable a duo as Obi Wan and Anakin. Hope you enjoyed this one as much as I did.
