Author's Note: Good News everybody. The my trip was delayed so I had a couple hours to write this up. Hope you like it. Please review.

Ahsoka stood alongside Rex and Lux facing to opposite way to the edge of the cliff. Today was the day, the day Vader came, the day to fight. Ahsoka looked back at her children, all wearing sombre expressions, preparing to fight. There was tension in the air. Ahsoka could feel everyone's anxiety, which made hers double. Even the baby in her womb seemed stressed. Ahsoka closed her eyes and felt the life forms that were closing in from the front and behind. There was a dark spot in the force which Ahsoka was sure it was her old master. She knew now was the time to say her goodbyes.

"Rex, I love you," Ahsoka breathed.

"I would follow you anywhere kid," Rex took her hand and squeezed it.

"Lux, you're my best friend, I'm sorry it ended the way it did," Ahsoka was thinking of the last time she was on Onderon.

"Yeah, me too," Lux looked scared but gave a brave smile.

"Guys," Ahsoka turned to her kids. "I love you and I'm so proud of you."

Aleah, Zeb and Archer smiled in response. The Rebels followed suit and started saying goodbye to one another. It was a beautiful feeling in the force, with the love that everyone felt for each other. It calmed Ahsoka more than she would have thought possible.

Rex put the binoculars to his face. "They're closing in." He walked to the ledge of the cliff and looked down over to the other advancing legion of Stormtroopers. "They're almost in position."

"Places everyone," Lux called and moved over to Rex near the ledge.

The Rebels moved in land, away from the cliff. They were armed and ready for the battle that was about to ensue. Rex and Lux were watching for them to get close enough. Ahsoka scanned around her. There was a small fort right in front of them and near the cliff was a stock of explosives and detonators, and there were blasters sitting opposite them. Ahsoka turned watched the army that was on top of the cliff heading toward them.

"Ready," Lux called. "Now!"

Rex hit a button detonating a large amount of explosives they had set up earlier on the ground below the cliff near the cave. It took out the first 10 rows of Stormtroopers. With that, Ahsoka started moving forward to face the other side of the advancing army. The Rebels started firing from behind a small fort they created from cargo boxes filled with rocks. The StormTroopers fired back at them. Ahsoka stood on top of the boxes and deflected the incoming shots. She spotted a black cloaked figure standing in the middle of the Stormtroopers. Ahsoka felt the darkness in the force and was overwhelmed at the power radiating from him.

Rex and Lux came to the front with Ahsoka. "We have got some time before the Stormtroopers start trying to scale the cliff."

"Good, now we have these ones to worry about," Ahsoka called back.

The Stormtroopers were advancing quickly. Ahsoka watched the dark figure walking calmly toward them. She signed for the Ruping attacks to begin. From the side of the cliff, massive Rupings emerged with their riders and flew over the tops of the enemy, dropping rocks and bombs on top of them. Ahsoka saw Vader raise his hand and pull down in the direction of one of the Rupings. The rider was pulled off and fell downwards to Vader who used his lightsaber to cut him in half. He repeated this action over and over.

Once the aerial attack had finished, the Storm Troopers moved faster toward the Rebels. Their numbers had diminished dramatically, but there were still so many of them. They weren't too far now. Rex stood and called for the Rebels to follow. They all ran out and fired at the enemy with all the power they could. Ahsoka watched as Rex took down Trooper after Trooper and couldn't help but admire his strength and courage. Zeb and Archer near their father, throwing explosives toward the back of the Storm Troopers using the Force to make them go further. Donteri was covering them while they did this. One of the Troopers aimed a rocket launcher for the fort, and fired. The rocket went flying over Ahsoka's head and landed metres from Aleah, who had been running to grab some explosives to throw at the Troopers. The explosion threw her off the cliff but she managed to grab the ledge.

Ahsoka felt like someone had given a large dose of pain medication, because she felt numb and even though she knew it was reality, it seemed so surreal, like a dream. Lux who had been grabbing explosives saw it happen and ran to help Aleah. He leant down and grabbed her wrists and tried to pull her up but he looked like he was struggling. He couldn't get a good enough footing.

Ahsoka stood to go help when she felt something pierce her heart. At first she thought she had been wounded, but she realised the Force had been disturbed. Ahsoka turned to see Rex being flung by Vader at the Rebels. His body took down at least five Rebels. Ahsoka knew this was her moment to choose. Everything felt surreal. She needed to fight Vader, but she couldn't lose her daughter when she may have just lost her husband. Ahsoka sprinted as fast she could to get to Aleah. Lux had just slipped and nearly fallen, but Ahsoka pulled him up with the Force. Once he was safe, she pulled Aleah up as quickly as she could using the Force.

Aleah had just placed her feet on the ground when she screamed. Ahsoka ignited her lightsaber and block Vader as he brought his lightsaber down on her. The force of his blow sent pushed her on her back. She force pushed him away from her just long enough to stand but it was hard with her pregnant belly. He circled her, like a predator his prey. Ahsoka remembered Padme's last words, that there was still good in him. Ahsoka wanted to believe it so bad.

Ahsoka turned to Aleah and Lux who were staring between Vader and her. "Go!" They turned and ran back to help the fighting Rebels. Aleah grabbed the explosives she was after in the first place but turned to watch her mother again. Zeb had come back to get more explosives and spotted Vader and Ahsoka.

"My old apprentice," Vader voice raised goose bumps on her arms. The way he said it sounded like a greeting, but he was moments from killing her.

She would try to save him she decided. "Master," She pleaded. "It's me, Ahsoka, Snips."

"I know who you are…" He started.

"Then you wouldn't kill me. Remember, I always had your back Skyguy. You know I would never betray you."

"Which is why I offer you a choice. Join me," He said it like she had no option, which she didn't.

"I can't," Ahsoka whispered. "Please, come back Anakin."

"You have made your choice, as I have, made mine," With that they started duelling.

Ahsoka simply blocked and tried to stay on her feet. His strength was crushing her quickly. She knew she didn't have long. They were close to the cliff, but still a few metres from ledge. Vader moved so fiercely, with all intent to kill. Ahsoka was covered with sweat. With one strong blow, Ahsoka was lying on her side on the ground, weak and defenceless. She clung to her unborn baby, trying to protect it. Vader walked straight up to her and raised his lightsaber.

"You promised you would take care of me," Ahsoka whispered loud enough so he could hear. "You promised."

Vader hesitated. Ahsoka heard Aleah scream, but it sounded far away. A figure leapt to crash tackle Vader closer to the cliff. Ahsoka looked up over to where Vader and the figure landed, right on the edge of the cliff. The figure stood with a detonator in his hand and a bomb strapped to his back. Ahsoka couldn't breathe. Zeb looked briefly at his mother with a scared smile and clicked the detonator.

Ahsoka was forced to close her eyes as the blast destroyed the ledge. The remaining rocks from the ledge fell down to crush the remaining Storm Troopers below. Ahsoka stared at where Zeb had been standing a few moments ago. It was now open air. Ahsoka crawled to what was now the ledge, only a metre from where she previously laid. She looked over it to see Darth Vader falling below. Ahsoka felt the force. She could still feel Vader's darkness and knew he hadn't died. She searched for Zeb's aura but found nothing.

She rolled over to lie on her back to stare at the sky. She closed her eyes, wishing she would lose consciousness, because it felt like part of her heart had just died or ceased to exist. The pain was more than she ever thought someone was capable of. She could barely breathe. Arms wrapped under her arms and pulled her away from the edge. Ahsoka was sure it was Aleah, but started to realise it was too strong for Aleah. Ahsoka looked up hoping to see Rex, but it was Lux.

He leant her up against a cargo box. "Ahsoka?"

"He's gone," She sobbed. Ahsoka got her wish. She fell into unconsciousness.

Ahsoka awoke because she felt a pain shoot through her stomach. She opened her eyes. She realised she was lying in a tent. As far as she could remember, they hadn't set up tents for the battle. Ahsoka looked around. Aleah was sitting with Archer. They were hugging and both looked like they had been crying. It all hit Ahsoka again. She lay her head back down.

"Come here," She told them softly. Aleah and Archer curled up either side of her and she wrapped her arms around them.

"What happened after I passed out?" Ahsoka asked.

"The fight went on for a bit longer, but we got the upper hand, and won. The Storm Troopers retreated and left. We think they weren't sure what to do with Vader gone," Aleah explained.

Ahsoka knew Vader was still alive, but it gave her hope that he had ordered an retreat.

"Where's your father?" She whispered, scared to know the answer.

"He's in the infirmary tent. He's pretty bad but they think he'll make it," Aleah responded in a monotone voice. "He has been unconscious so he doesn't know," She sobbed. "He doesn't know about Zeb." She broke down crying all over again.

Archer closed his eyes and put his head on Ahsoka shoulder. Aleah did the same. Ahsoka felt another sharp pain go through her abdomen but this was more painful and lasted longer. Aleah and Archer sat up.

"What's wrong mom?" Aleah asked.

"I think I'm going into labour," She sounded calmer than how she felt. "But it's too soon."

"I'll get Lux," Archer ran out of the tent.

The pain shot through her again, longer and more painful than the last. Ahsoka gasped and brought her knees closer to her chest. Aleah stroked her head.

"It's going to be alright mom. It's okay," Aleah whispered over and over.

Lux came into the tent looking pale and scared. "So, the healers are all busy with the wounded so… we're going to have to deliver on our own."
