Darth Vader marched through the once beautiful landscape, now ruined by war. All around him the freedom fighters lay dead or dying. The dead were left to rot, the dying we're killed, survivors were not an option.
A blast rang across the land, followed by a thud, one survivor down.
Up ahead lay a small child gasping for breath, one word, a bang, two survivors down.
The battle had been bloody, the civilian casualties were nearly as high as the rebels and Stormtroopers. Vader was used to bloodshed, people died all the time. On Tatooine slaves died when they tried to escape. His mother had been stolen from him by Tusken Raiders. Jedi had died in battle, then at his hand.
Three survivors down.
Then he had killed Padme, because she and Obi-wan had betrayed him. It was Obi-wan's fault, and one day Vader would have his revenge, until that beautiful day, innocents would pay for what Kenobi had done.
Four survivors down.
When Kenobi died, Vader would rejoice, he would be free from the chains of the past.
Ahead of him Vader saw her. As beautiful as ever her face pleading for a change to live. But no. Vader knew she could not be Ahsoka Tano, for Ahsoka had died many years before. She had fought bravely, and seconds before his Lightsaber tore through her heart, she had whispered one sentence that haunted him eternally, "I still love you, my old master," then she had closed her big sparkling orb like eyes, and accepted the saber through her chest as if greeting an old friend.
"Please," the Togruta begged again, "Anything," but her words were cut off.
Five survivors down.
Behind him, unbeknownst to Vader, Ahsoka's mother lay dead, having fought and died for her daughters memory.
i was going to have him spare the woman in Ahsoka's memory, but I realized that didn't fit the character. So in avoiding that I though, well maybe its Ahsokas mom, and he doesn't know that, so he inadvertently killed his best friends mom. I thought maybe I'd have Ahsokas force ghost come to him and tell him, or Anakin talk to her after he dies. So I may add more later and I may not. It's up to my imagination and my reviewers.
