A/N: At this point, 10 months have passed since SEALs and ARCs, Agents and Commanders. The US tech was sent back, along with most of the Marines. A couple stayed behind, including Z, who is a close friend to Echo.

The crazy doctor was sent back. However, Kaitlyn kept the plans, and the machine itself. She plans to use it to bring back the Malevolence, and bring the Executor forward into their time. No one knows she has it but Tana, Anakin, Fives, Rex, Obi-wan, Barriss, Ahsoka, Z, and Cody.

Katie is also planning to kill Palpatine. Maul is not going to come back in this story, and neither is Savage Oppress. Kaitlyn almost killed Ventress, wo is still held captive by the Republic. She was never betrayed by Dooku, therefore Savage was never Dooku's apprentice, and he never would have gone to find Maul.

The war has also lasted 4 years. Padmé hasn't gotten pregnant yet. Yet.

Kaitlyn, Tana, Z, and Grace belong to me. Everything else belongs to Lucas.

Please review. And I'm sorry about giving up on SEALs. It just wasn't cooperating.

But, anyone is free to adopt it if they think they can get it to work, as long as it goes with the above ending. Just PM me first.

Nothing and nobody is more dangerous than the enemy you believe is vanquished. It was advice Kaitlyn had taken to heart. Ahsoka, Barriss, Z, and Tana also saw the wisdom in it. Kaitlyn hadn't bothered to tell Grace. Grace wouldn't have left, not when she was 7 months pregnant with twins.

The war dragged on. The Republic was winning, but the Seps had gotten more and more adept at gaining resources. It worried the new General.

The brunette smiled softly to herself. General Winter. It has a nice ring to it.

Too bad, really. It was a title she had to leave behind. She would have to leave behind Fives, too. It was tearing her apart, but this was something she needed to do. The Sith needed to be eradicated before they could hurt anyone.

The four others stood near the stealth ship they had acquired, or rather, stole, from the Seps. Ahsoka murmured, "It's time then."

Barriss nodded, "Time indeed."

Tana started the ship, and cloaked it, flying out of the freighter's hanger. They would never know we had left the supply ship.

I pressed a small round, purple button, and the supply ship became space dust. at the same time, we all severed our force-bonds to everyone but the four others aboard the stealth shuttle, the Renegade.

To those we had left behind, we were dead.

Dead.

Gone.

I ran to the fresher, expelling everything in my stomach, as if I could purge my guilt.

It's the only way

Grace stared at the holodisplay. No. no, no! She stared across at Kix, who closed his eyes. Fives dropped to the ground, his knees giving way. Grace laid a hand on her swollen belly, finding comfort in the small fluttering of her unborn twins. She couldn't imagine what he was going through, with Kaitlyn and Tana gone. Rex turned and slammed a fist into the wall. Echo stormed out of the room, growling furiously.

Five of Grace's closest friends were gone.

Gone.

She silently cried, why?

General Skywalker crouched as pain shot through his chest, followed by an absense.

Ahsoka? Kaitlyn? Tana? He cried out into the Force.

They didn't answer. Obi-wan put a hand on his shoulder, and they stood quietly in a moment of grief. He couldn't just look from them. He knew what them just being unconscious was. And this was not simply unconsciousness.

They were gone. And there was nothing he could do.

If only he could stop people from dying.

I really hope I didn't mangle Skywalker's point of view.

Review!
