42 Chapter 37

The witch hunter babe of the inquisition has assumed front line command as to ensure everyone's morale won't plummet. The stealth satellites they had on orbit originally got pictures of the man in black marching with hundreds of thousands of troops, intending to lead them.

This act made her pay attention and called for her servants to bring her the witch hunting gear. If her memory serves her right, the black cloaked man uses a weapon for force users.

Because of this, who else can you get to deal with pesky force users? That's right, call the inquisition.

She set out with a fast moving transportation motorcycle as she came to the position of the black cloaked man.

When she looked at him soaring on the sky, she immediately pulled out her crossbow and shot, hitting him in the leg.

...

"Urghhh" the voice of Darth Vader was heard lightly heard as he got hit by a crossbow bolt from a distance. He didn't felt the crossbow bolt at all despite having the force enhance his whole body.

"Urghhh, damn it!" growled Darth Vader as he looked at the bolt currently pierced on his leg. He tried to pull it off and after a couple of tries, it finally got out as blood spurted out like from the deep wound.

Darth Vader breathed deeply and exhaled deeply too as he tried to stand up with much difficulty. As he looked at the distant, he saw someone, she has a cowboy hat and was reloading her crossbow. Vader tried to clearly see who she is with his electronic modules. He saw a fairly beautiful woman with the aura of a soldier. She has a beautiful face and this blonde colored hair. Overall, she's a really beautiful woman rivalling even that of a certain girl from the past.

But something is unique into her. It's like, she's a hunter, someone who hunted because she enjoyed it,and because it's her job to.

The sound of her boots hitting the soft ground was heard as Vader used his the force powers to call upon his lightsaber but he soon discovered that his connection to force seemed to weaken as he looked at the woman approaching him with shock and a slight fear.

They developed anti force user weapons! That's the only thing running in the mind of Darth Vader right now was full of adrenaline as he madly dashed and picked up his lightsaber from the ground.

He did a front roll and immediately ignited it as he entered combat stance, closely observing the movements of the woman walking towards her. The wound in his thigh didn't impede his movements at long. Such a thing is a sign of a true battle hardened veteran.

The woman just stopped and shot the crossbow towards Darth Vader on an almost near point blank range. Darth Vader, by instinct, deflected it easily as the bolt got melted and hit the nearby ground with visible melting marks.

The woman just sighed as she pulled out a thick metal rod and turned it on. Crackles of lightning was seen on the end of the rod as it gave an irritating electric buzz sound.

When the rod was pulled out and turned on, Darth Vader immediately lost his already weakened connection with the force as he felt something leave his body entirety. He almost staggered to the ground as the sudden cut off of the connection from the force gave his body a massive backlash.

Darth Vader looked at the woman in front of her as he readied to strike her. The woman just chuckled and did a deep thrust towards the unsuspecting Darth Vader. Darth Vader managed to react but it's already too late as his reactions has been sharpened while having the force strengthened his body. The Null Rod hut his chest fair and square as lighting transfered to his whole body, frying some of his electronic module and further weaking his already too weak connection to the force.

Darth Vader stumbled back on the ground as the woman had a devilish smirk plastered all over her beautiful face.

"You're the leader of the landing force it seems." the woman started to speak and the electronic voice was heard by Darth Vader as he stood up limping.

"It looks like I'll get to score my first major kill and I may just be able to have my destinations change." said the woman with enthusiasm as she moved in and closed the distance between her and Vader. Vader this time, reacted just on time as he evaded the first hits.

A fight started between the two as the woman flung her Null Rod at the desperate Darth Vader. She occasionally hit Vader which made Vader absolutely get weakened even more than before.

After the fight which lasted only a couple of minutes, Darth Vader stumbled on the ground like a rotten vegetable, powerless and waiting for his death.

"Awww, I thought you...you're a jedi right? Oh, no, you're a sith! Yes, I thought you siths can at least get to play with my rod a little bit more." the woman just pouted as her cuteness was revealed to Darth Vader who was struggling on the ground.

"It's a shame really, well time to finish you." the woman pulled out her crossbow and quickly reloaded it as she aimed at Vader with her fingers on the trigger.

But at this time streams of stormtroopers suddenly came firing their blasters at the woman which immediately made the woman retreat and jump into a cover.

They slowly pushed on the woman who retreated on a nearby cover as they intend to overwhelm her with firepower and extract their commander.

The woman just chuckled in annoyance as she peaked on the enemy who's still pouring blaster fires upon her position.

Vader on the other hand, got successfully rescued and delivered back to the stronghold to recuperate.

The whole battle was slowly raging as the Empire stormtroopers charged and tried to take the enemy trench position. The casualties are slowly rising on both sides but the casualties of the Empire was heavier than the Imperium as the armored transports and tanks of the Empire became tin cans on the field and no can no longer provide fire support.

The sun is still up but the battle still hasn't reached its peak. The Empire position was observing the whole situation and soon found out that the enemy has almost an infinite amount of troops and the only firepower they can get are those from the orbiting battleships.

The TIE fighters are already having a hard time dealing with the enemy as their numbers slowly dwindled while their enemy always had a bigger number after each battle they fought.

"The casualties are too high, the war with the Imperium also has formally started. The front line literally spans the whole size of our borders." said an Imperial high officer as he sat down, feeling powerless.

"This battle would only drag on, we can't afford the loses. Tens of millions had already died yet, we didn't have any results to show and make up for it." added another Imperial high officer as she looked at the other people on the room.

"It seems, we need to consider retreating for now...."
