Okay guys, next chapter is the last one. Thank you for all the support. Special shoutout to Ky111 for giving me the idea of having not-Luke kill Vader and the Emperor. I have a great idea for my next Obidala story so heads up for that.
Considering he was facing the most daunting sith lord since the great sith wars, Obi Wan thought he was doing pretty well. It was when he sensed the familiar presences of Luke and Leia that he faltered-but to be fair they litterally popped up out of thin air.
"How dare you think you are worthy of facing me." The emperor said as he disarmed Obi Wan with one fluid movement. "You are not even a jedi any longer."
"I will always be a Jedi," he said, reaching into the force to bring his lightsaber back. But the Emperor was too quick and soon he was on the ground.
"You will not even make a good apprentice."
"Really?" A female voice came from the other side of the room, one Obi Wan had been hoping would be safely on it's way home. "Because I hear you're in the market for a new one."
"Senator Amidala." The Emperor chuckled, "I must say you've gotten older."
"I remember when I met you." Her lightsaber hummed to life, filling the room with green light. Luke and Leia stood behind her, their own lightsabers coming to life. After so many years as a Jedi Obi Wan had learned to control his emotions, but the fear for his family was something he could not ignore.
"You looked so old." Padmé continued, "I thought, he must be my grandfather's age." She smirked.
"And you have always been young and naive." The emperor growled.
"You're golden boy is dead, Palpatine." She gave a flourish of her lightsaber and stepped stepped over Obi Wan. "And soon you will be too, and all the sith along with you."
"You are no jedi." Palpatine growled.
"No." She agreed with a shrug, Obi Wan stood up, noting that the emperor did not stop him. "I'm not a jedi."
"Then you are a sith." He laughed, "But even I do not want you as an apprentice."
Your loss." She said. He raised his hand and electricity began to shoot out of it. She caught it with her light saber, a smirk on her face. "You cannot take all of us."
Obi wan caught the lightning that came from his other hand within seconds. Both had to push back against it with the force to keep it from jumping over their lightsabers and hitting them. They couldn't last much longer.
Leia appeared out of thin air. Her lightsaber flaring to life She cut off the arm that threatened her mother, making the emperor scream.
Padmé was surprised at the violence, but didn't dwell on it. Leia and her presence disappeared immediately after the attack. The Emperor seemed confused and looked at his lost limb in horror.
"Anakin was a good Person!" Padmé shouted, "I loved him!" She swiped at the emperor, coming dangerously close to his neck. "You turned him into a monster!" Another swipe, this one he blocked.
"All those children!" she continued as Luke appeared out of thin air this time and cut of the other hand, the one threatening his father.
"How?!" The Emperor hissed, how could Jedi appear our of thin air, lightsabers drawn, and cutting off his limbs.
Obi Wan rolled his eyes and took off the man's head in one swift moement.
As he fell, head rolling, to the ground Padmé dropped to her knees. Obi Wan Kneeled next to her, his forehead pressed to her shoulder. Luke and Leia appeared out of thin air again. "Come on, mom." Luke swallowed the lump in his throat, "Dad..." He looked at the three people he loved most in the world, "We need to go."
The journey back to the ship was easy with Leia's not-so-new trick to hide them. Padmé would later insist it was simple once you got the hang of it, but at the moment was unable to do much to help.
As they took off they shot the main reactors, blowing up not only the ship, but effectively ending the construction on this new "Death Star."
A sense of peace washed over Padmé, and one thought remained suspended in her mind. It's over.
