Kai's heart pounded on her chest as she stumbled through the never-ending desert planet of Jakku. The Sith apprentice had just lost a battle, which was a first for the young trainee. Kai Hristo had been wounded by some aimless, idiot Stormtrooper's blaster. Despite the shaking, seizing pain Kai still managed to be furious. Kai's left leg, her android leg, buckled. She screamed in pain and hatred as she collapsed into the sand, her chest hitting the terrain with surprising pain.

Kai gave a jarring, bone-shaking hacking cough that was accompanied with a glob of blood flying from her mouth and painting the almost white sand. Kai gritted her teeth as the blood dripped down her chin, trying to push herself to her feet, but her shaking arms gave way and she collapsed again, shaking and panting as she let out another cough. Kai's shaking hand found her wound just above the left curve of her hip, and she rolled onto her right side to see that her robotic leg had also been mangled by the fight. Kai bit back a scream as she put pressure on the laser wound, but the pain was intensifying and becoming nearly unbearable.

As Kai's consciousness began floundering in pain and exhaustion, the sand began to shift around the Sith's form, and Kai's mind started to slip away.
