"Be careful." Renaud whispered. I looked back to see if Lupin and Charlie were still following us. Lupin had healed well and was strong enough now to carry one of us. Charlie however didn't seem all that strong. I guess he is just a normal dog. "Click Click Click" I heard from up ahead. "What was that!" Renaud whispered. And the we saw it. It was a malfunctioning Scorpio class War droid. "I can handle this." I whispered to Renaud. "ARE YOU CRAZY!" he whispered back. I ignored him and sneaked up to the droid. Its eight mechanical legs clicked against the floor of the cave. I took a step and a twig snapped. "WHY ARE THERE TWIGS IN THIS CAVE!!!!!!" I thought angrily as the droid spun around. I reached for my sword. As I held the short, steel blade in my mechanical hands, memories I had tried to ignore came back vividly. My home in flames, my father giving me the blade and telling me to never lose it, my friends, my family. They had died because of this stupid war, and this droid was the closest thing to the personification of this war I was going to see. I tightened my grip on the blade and swung. Whether it was my anger or my mechanical strength, in one swing I cut through two feet of steel and wires. The droid dropped to the ground, lifeless. I turned and walked back to Renaud. His eyes were open wide. "How did you do that?" he asked. "Rage." I replied. I kept walking until we were out of the cave.
