"The time has come. Execute Order 66."
"It shall be done, my Lord."
It took a second to sink in.
Execute Order 66?
Why is this so hard? I was trained my whole life to obey orders. Why can't I do this now?
I walk to where some clones are operating a long-distance cannon. I point to where they were to shoot. My hand is shaking. I'm glad they don't notice.
"Fire."
The blue blast travels true - I see the rock crumble, falling towards the water below.
I also see two bodies falling. One small, one big. The small one - General Kenobi. The large one - his mount.
I focus in on General Kenobi. I suppose I shouldn't be calling him my general anymore. What else do I call him? The Jedi Master?
My former general? Or, according to Chancellor Palpatine, a traitor?
I look away as they hit the water.
A word comes to mind. Friend. He was my friend.
I feel sick to my stomach. I am really glad that I have a helmet on. Otherwise, I would have puked.
Oblivious to the battle raging, I stand near the edge of the platform that I am on. There are still rocks falling into the water from the blast site. A sudden thought comes to my head.
What kind of soldier kills his general?
What kind of person kills his friend?
Three years of memory flashes through my head. Countless missions, assaults, retreats, injuries, saves. It all jumbled together and blurred.
I saw him do things I thought were impossible. I saw miracles happen. Now, him and the rest of Jedi were going to be slaughtered with the three words I had heard.
Wrenching my thoughts back to the present, I decided on a quick remembrance used on the battlefield.
I fired two blasts into the air and saluted with my blaster.
One shot for what he did for us in life.
One shot in remembrance of his death.
