Daria Wars: Episode XXVII: A Medieval Menace
Daria
had had enough of the medieval fair, and she hadn’t even met Jane yet. “Where
is she?” she asked aloud. She could see the Fashion Club nearby, at a pie
booth.
“Force,
Stacy, what’s wrong? You look awful,” Sandi said.
“Yeah,
really bad,” Tiffany added.
“It’s
Bret. He said he’d call me after our first date but he never did and I just saw
him and said hi and he pretended he didn’t even see me!” Stacy bawled.
“Bummer!”
Sandi said.
Usually
Sandi Griffin would have come off ‘better’ after putting her fellow Fashion
Club member in her place.
However,
it wasn’t a normal situation, medieval faire notwithstanding. She hadn’t
reckoned on Stacy being Force sensitive. And Stacy’s anguish was enough for her
to be susceptible to the Dark Side. Thus, Stacy lashed out. “You don’t care!”
she called out, and started to Force-choke Sandi!
Sandi
was shocked. “Stacy!” she managed to get out.
Daria
saw this happening.
“Oh
no!” she said. She went over. “Stop, Stacy, that is not the answer!”
However,
Stacy didn’t relent, and Sandi was turning blue in the face! Stacy turned to
Daria. “You have the answer to everything,
don’t you?” Stacy asked. Her eyes were turning yellow.
“Oops!”
Daria murmured. But she was too slow to counter Stacy’s next move. She extended
her other hand and Force-choked Daria, while keeping the hold on Sandi!
The
next moments passed slowly.
“Let
them go, Stacy!” Jane had finally turned up. Her voice was full of confidence.
Stacy
didn’t do anything of the sort. “No!” She said.
“Then
you leave me no choice!” Jane said, with regret.
“Quick!”
Daria called out. She could see that Sandi had already collapsed from the lack
of oxygen.
Quicker
than the increasing crowd of bystanders were able to see, Jane produced a
lightsaber and ignited it. “Stacy!” Jane said in a warning tone.
Stacy
looked. Immediately she let go of both Sandi and Daria. However, in the next
moment, she was trying to throw force
lightning at Jane. Jane, however was effortlessly blocking that attack with
the lightsaber.
This
went on for a couple of minutes, before Ms. Li showed up demanding an
explanation. “What is the meaning of this!”
“There’s
a problem with Stacy, Ms. Li. Call the police!” Jane directed.
Stacy
heard that. “Oh no!” she said. Immediately the force lightning stopped and she
collapsed, crying and hyperventilating.
Jane
turned the lightsaber off. “It should be over now...” she said.
Daria
hoped so. But at least the medieval fair had been completely disrupted. She
went over to Quinn, who was trying to comfort Stacy.
