Two star fighters danced through the asteroid belt hiding behind asteroids and doing anything else that would give one a chance at the other or give them an edge. They continued to glide from asteroid to asteroid cannons blazing in an attempt to hit the other. The larger of the two was clearly built to battle and win in any star fighter battle. The other ship was smaller but much faster and stealthier with a rapid fire cannon on each wing. The smaller one went over a larger asteroid just at the right angle and ended up above the larger one, it saw the chance and took it. The smaller ship dive bombed the larger cannons opening up and tearing apart one of it's wings. The large ship went into a wild spin heading straight toward one of the largest asteroids in the field. The fighter never came out of spin, instead it impacted on the asteroid and went up in a ball of flame and smoke.
Shadow circled the asteroid 5 times before concluding that the ship had in fact been destroyed. Then he saw a small movement on the edge of his vision. Shadow clicked a few knobs and diverted the engines to thrusters reversing his direction. Then he saw it, a small escape pod speeding out of the asteroid field preparing to jump into hyperspace. Shadow sped his ship forward activating and shooting a tracking device onto the escape pod's hull.
The pod disapeared into hyperspace with the tracking device attached to its hull.
Shadow sat back and waited for the tracker to send him the quardinates of his hunter. Shadow sat back "And so the hunter becomes the hunted".
Shadow punched in a few commands on his tracking/radar console, he smiled to himself as he received the quardinates of the tracker and the escape pod.
Shadow swung back to the controls, punched in the quardinates and entered hyperspace. He was determined now to catch whoever it was that was trying to catch him.
He always loved to fly through hyperspace, the stars flying by and everything passing so fast they looked like a blur. He rubbed his chin then got up and went to the hold to prepare. He entered the one small room where he kept his meager possessions, he picked up his lightsabers and ignited them. He stood still for a moment listening to the hum that had he had heard so many times before.
All the painful memories came flooding back to him, his mother dropping dead, the jedi he had slain that day, everything. He cringed and turned off his saber and set them back in their wooden case. The ship lurched and stopped, he had arrived.....
