Anakin Skywalker's POV
I immediately lurched up to my feet once I heard Kerra gagging. I raced to her side and ordered R2 to stay there.
"Kerra," Ben held her hand and lifted her head up so she could breathe with his free hand. "You're going to be okay. Keep your heart beating."
She gave us a weary smile. Shaking her head, she breathed, "Ben... You have to learn how to let go. It's just like what Grandfather said... He lost Grandmother for six years and he almost lost Jane's mother."
He shook his head, mouthing something to her... Maybe pleading to her to not die. She nodded, squeezing his trembling hand.
"Kick his ass for me, Ben." she smiled, her eyes halfway closed.
He grinned and nodded. "Sure thing."
Suddenly, she started going into shock. Her skin felt ice cold, her eyes dilated, her breath stared getting irregular, and her pulse started going crazy.
"Go, Kerra... Your Grandmother's waiting for you." I announced, running my hand through her black hair.
Kerra moaned quietly in agony, sweat soaked her body and hair but she nodded one last time before her hand lost its grip from Ben's.
I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself and accept what happened. I sighed and began to wrap her with gauze before putting her in a body bag. Ben, of course, helped me and wiped his tears away.
"Come on, Ben." I said, walking over to the pilot's seat again. "Triple T .K.A. ..."
"Time to totally kick ass." he smiled, giving me a high five.
After another few minutes, we finally made it to Coruscant. I jumped out of the ship and observed the palace from the ramp of the ship.
Then, I stared at Ben in confusion, arching an eyebrow as I saw what he was doing.
He rolled around and hid behind things as he made his way through the platform.
"Ben, what the heck are you doing?" I demanded.
Ben got up and dusted himself off. He cleared his throat and said, "Uh... I just wanted to, you know, have a magical entrance."
"You're Grandmother didn't teach you that, right?"
He shook his head. "No, I saw it in movies."
That explains why. I thought. "All right, let's go."
After a couple of minutes of departure, Ben suddenly contacted me.
"Do you see him yet, over."
"No."
"Noooo what? Over."
I sighed. "No, over."
"Oh, that's better I can hear you now. Over. All right, I see him right now... He just got out of his bedroom and went inside into his office. Over."
"Wait, why did you ask me if I could see him if you could see him from your position?" I demanded.
"Didn't copy that, over."
"I said why did you ask me if I could see him if you could see him all the way on the other side. Over."
"Oh that's better... I could hear you now. Over. Do you see him yet, over."
"You know what you're a jackass. Can't we just barge in there and kill him already?" I said.
Ben groaned. "Fine."
Yes! I leaped on top of a window and then I smashed it with my foot. Ben was already slicing the droids and clones that patrolled the Palace.
I ducked a few times and slaughter the enemies. All of my anger that I held in since Jane's death to Kerra's unleashed. But I should've saved it when it was time for me to battle my son.
I motioned Ben to follow me, before I busted the door open. Zevark turned around and noticed only Ben.
"What's going on B minus?" Zevark greeted, doing some kind of hand motions. "What the haps?" his eyes finally shifted towards me. They grew wide.., shocked.
"Hello, Anakin Zevark Skywalker." I smiled, arching an eyebrow.
Zevark gasped, he began to tremble. "Father?"
I nodded and added, "Zevark, how could you? You're mother and I are very disappointed in you. How could you turn against the Jedi and the Republic? Didn't you think about your mother? About your siblings and your relatives?"
He shook his head. "How do I know that you're not just an imposter?"
I stretched my hand out, jerking my head towards it. "See for yourself."
Zevark hesitantly walked over to me, stretching his hand slowly before placing it on mine.
I closed my eyes at the same exact time Zevark did. I showed him mostly everything that I remember... Which was mostly everything.
Ahsoka's laugh echoed as we saw our family playing in the snow on the planet of Aldeeran. I showed him how Ahsoka and I protected him and his siblings against Chancellor Palpatine and the Jedi. I heard myself speaking to Ahsoka and the last day of my mortal life.
'The pain of not having you with me hurts even more...Love; please promise me that you won't follow me. The kids will need their mother.' I told Ahsoka, as she shed tears.
'They need their father, too. They need their father more than their mother.' Ahsoka snapped at me.
'I know they do, Ahsoka... They need both parents. Just please, promise me?' I swallowed and shivered. 'Tell the kids Daddy said bye.'
Another family moment appeared... Shmi's and Ahsoka's birthday.
Everyone was cheering and having a good time, especially Shmi. She looked so cute with her little winter dress on. Her brown curls made her blue eyes pop out. Her laughter along with Ahsoka's and mine mixed together.
The memory faded and I stared at Zevark.
He trembled and frowned, taking a few steps away from me. He looked away from me, afraid.
"You took her away from me so you could have her all to yourself!" he roared, igniting his weapon.
I stared at him in complete confusion. "What?"
"I going to kill you, Father!" he was full with rage.
I brought my weapon to life and started to duel with him. His skills weren't skillful enough to beat me. He kept lunging towards me to slaughter me but I simply dodged his blows and kicked him away.
Ben suddenly came behind him and aimed directly towards his Father's head. Zevark blocked his son's blow and began to forcefully aim towards Ben.
"I'm going to kill you for murdering Jane and Kerra!" he bellowed, fury shown completely on his face.
Zevark frowned, trying to overpower Ben. I stared at Ben in confusion as I took in what he just said. He turned his head to look at me for a brief second.
"That's right, Grandfather... My father planned to kill all three of us. He knew we were going to be in Shili at the Carnival. He wanted to kill all of us so we wouldn't overpower him. You're premonitions we're all correct but you thought it was their fate... But it was my father all along." Ben announced. "He also didn't know you were with us."
Zevark yelled, full with rage, and his crimson weapon slipped past Ben's defense. His son clutched his stomach and moaned in agony.
I roared in fury and pounded against my son's defensive blocks.
"You've betrayed me!" I hollered, slamming his blocks, pushing him down to his knees. "It was said that my children will bring peace not darkness! You killed your own nieces!"
"I lost my father too early and my mother died because you wanted her all to yourself!"
"It was her time to leave this universe, Zevark! You knew that! You're just making an excuse to kill me!" I said, my lightsaber then pierced through his torso, blood oozing out from the wounded area. "Except I'm an immortal."
He clutched his stomach just like his son did but I held him in my arms. He clutched my tunic, tears leaving his eyes. The tint of gold was now nowhere to be found.
"I'm so sorry, father... Forgive me." he pleaded.
I nodded, smiling slightly at him. "Go, my son. The force is calling you back home." I embraced him for a brief moment before I closed his eyes as he took his last breath.
With Zevark already dead, I carried Ben to his father's side. I huffed out a sigh and took out a lighter from my pocket before lighting them on fire.
The wormhole was already developing once I got back to Shili. I sighed and smiled as I noticed Ahsoka waiting for me on the other side. Her warm smile always lightened up my mood.
I sucked in a deep breath before stepping in into the afterlife.
