- As he reached his decision, the men behind him reached
- their range. Professionals indeed: without a word, they
- leveled their weapons, and twin packets of galvenned
- plasma streaked at his spine. In even the best-trained
- human shooter there is at least a quarter-second delay
- between the decision to fire and the squeeze on the
- trigger. Deep in the Force, Mace could feel their decision
- even before it was made: an echo from his future.

- his vest. By the time the bolts were halfway there, the
- Force had snapped his lightsaber into his palm. At three-quarters, his blade extended, and when the blaster bolts
- reached him they met not flesh and bone but a meter long continuous cascade of vivid purple energy.
- Mace reflexively slapped the bolts back at the shooters but instead of rebounding from his blade, the bolts
- splattered through it and grazed his ribs and burst against
- a trash bin behind him so that it boomed and bucked and
- shivered like a cracked bell
