Chapter 3: Bring me to life
Luke POV
"KARIS!" I scream and don't hesitate to breathe into her. Still nothing. I push on her chest. Still Nothing. I pound on her chest. Nothing. I scream angrily and then begin sobbing. I caress Karis's now cold face. Tears fall onto her cheeks.
Rogue POV
I wake up and I'm surrounded by stars and galaxies. So this is the Force, hmm nice I think to myself. I decide to explore and I walk through fields of stars, I allow myself to fall backwards into a pile of stars. I had never felt such pure bliss. I close my eyes and realize that my cybernetics were gone, and my eye was back. I didn't want to leave, everything was too perfect.
"Karis"
I sit up at someone calling me and smile enormously.
"Dad!" I exclaim, get up and hug him. He hugs back but looks at me grimly.
"Karis, you must go back to the living" He says
"Why? All I will feel is pain" I state sadly Obi-wan rubs my cheek.
"I know, but Luke, Leia and the galaxy need you more than you realize" He says and I nod. I turn around and I see a portal where Luke was sobbing over my dead body. I sigh heavily.
"It would be selfish of me to stay, wouldn't it?" I say. He nods sadly.
"Very well, goodbye dad, may the Force be with you" I say
"May the Force be with you" He tells me and I smile at him sadly. I walk through the portal and allow myself to become one with my body again.
I open my eyes and cough a few times, before looking at Luke and pulling him into a kiss. I can feel his surprise but he doesn't hesitate to wrap his arms around me and pull me in deeper. I don't want to pull away but I know I have to. I pull away slow as possible and look at him.
"I'm back" I say light heartedly and he smiles.
"Don't do that again" He commands and I chuckle and caress his face.
"You're cute when your serious" I joke and he kisses me on the cheek.
"KARIS!" Leia shrieks and tackle hugs me. I laugh.
"Hello again Leia" I say but then I feel the pain coming again. I grit my teeth and avoid shrieking.
I exhale heavily as the pain passes.
"When we face Skywalker, I've got dibs on killing him" I say and Han, Luke and Leia laugh "Speaking of, how'd he get his new armor?"
"Your mother faced him on Mustafar after the Purge" He explains "She cut off his other arm and legs but, the Emperor before she could leave…He killed her"
I close my eyes and let a single tear roll down my cheek.
"What was the Purge?" I ask
"Shortly after you saved me from getting crushed by the ceiling falling in, the clones turned and killed almost all Jedi" He says sadly but I knit my eyebrows together.
"Ahsoka is alive though other Jedi too" I say remembering my vision "They're enslaved somewhere"
"How do you know?" Han asks
"I saw it in a vision and-Oh!" I focus and browse through my cybernetic mind part, when I see the file I wanted I open it and a hologram is projected from cybernetic eye. I smile.
"The idiots that programed my cybernetic mind connected me to the imperial super-computer, and they haven't disconnected me from it yet, this file has the details of the enslaved Jedi" I say smugly and Luke hugs me.
"Your Intel will be extremely useful to the Rebel alliance" Luke says and then the death of the rebels I caused come crashing down on me.
"Oh Force, I killed rebels without mercy" I say horrified and Luke looks at me sympathetically
"You didn't know what was going on and speaking of not going on…You've been asleep for four years"
"WHAT?!" I yell. Han and Leia leave, leaving Luke alone with me.
"When the roof caved I wanted look for you immediately but I couldn't I had to protect everyone else" He sighs "I failed badly, only me, Leia, Chewie and Han made it to the Falcon. I came back a few days later to find you…but there was nothing" tears begin rolling down his cheeks "If only I had looked for you immediately, I-I could of stopped them from-from"
"Luke" I say and put a hand on his cheek "It was not your fault and besides these cybernetics are pretty useful"
He smiles sadly and I wipe his tears away with my thumb.
"I don't blame you, now come on; we better make sure Han and Leia aren't kissing on the job" I say and Luke laughs.
I'd never tell Luke I planned to kill myself after this was all over.
