I pull out my own lightsaber and ignite it. The purple blade popping out ready. I run toward Snips and attack. When she starts attacking me also I go on the defensive.

"I don't want to fight you, Ahsoka." She then kicks him back and his lightsaber spins away. She then flips backwards and reignites her lightsaber as Anakin is on his hands and prepares to stand.

"And now the student will kill the master." Snips then jumps forward and Anakin pulls his lightsaber to him and stops the stroke. I sigh in relief. I run over to where they are.

"Getting ahead of yourself, aren't you, Snips?"

"Don't call me that." Snips said pushing her lightsaber harder at Anakin. Their blades stuck in a cross. "I hate it when you call me that!" They disengage and I join the fight. Anakin flips Snips blade away and Snips jumps to catch it. She then pulls out her second lightsaber as Obi comes level with Anakin and me. "Two Jedi...finally a challenge."

"What about me?" I ask.

"You don't count." She then jumps and we block and attack. I stagger back as Snips pushes me back. I feel the Son getting stronger for some reason. Our conflict! It's feeding him! I realize.

"Stop fighting!" They look at me weirdly. "We are making the Son stronger with our conflict," I explain.

"Well, she won't stop fighting." Anakin then pushes Snips back with the force. "Any suggestions?"
"Yes. We cut her free." Obi said pulling out something that morphed into a dagger.

"What is that?"

"It can kill the Son," Obi said.

"Where did you get that?" Snips growled. "Give it to me." She then rushes forward and I block her.

"This isn't you, Snips. Stop this. We're your friends." I plead to her. I start pushing the lightsaber toward her and grunt with the effort.

"Don't call me that!" She then slashes her other lightsaber at me and Iet go of my two handed grip. I reach out with my left hand to stop the slash but miss. I gasp out a small yell and go to my knees. I look down and over halfway on my forearm, near my elbow, my left arm is cut off.

"Iko!" Obi yells. Obi and Anakin then rush forward and start fighting her. I hear glass shattering and look around. Soon glass rains down and Anakin, Obi and Snips dive out of the way. The Son and Daughter then crash down beside me. I look up and see the Father land on the holder.

"So, glad you could make it to our little party, Father." The Son said standing up, he then shoots lightning at the Father. Every looks over at the Son and Father.

"You will stop this." The Father said blocking. Everyone then stood up, well Obi helped me up. The shock of losing an arm still there.

"You are too weak for me, old man. You mean nothing to me anymore." The Son pushes the Father to the tree and Anakin rushes to the Daughter. The Son the uses both hands and shoots lightning at the Father.

"Anakin, now!" Obi throws the dagger and Anakin prepares to catch it but Snips jumps and catches the dagger. She then runs over to the Son. She stands up in front of the Son looking smug.

"Everything has transpired exactly as I planned." The Son looks at Snips. Behind him, the Father stands up holding his stomach.

"You showed them the alter?" Obi helps the Daughter stand up.

"I am sorry, Father. I didn't know how else to stop him." She said.

"Give it to me, child." Snips turns her face slightly to us.

"Ahsoka, no." She tightened her grip before giving it to the Son.

"Thank you. Your usefulness has come to an end." He then taps her forehead and she collapses to the ground. Her lightsaber falling from her grip.

"Noooooooo!" Anakin runs forward and then is pushed back by the Son.

"The Jedi have brought me the dagger, and you have brought me yourself. Now, Father, you will die." He then brings the dagger back and prepares to push it into the Father.

"Father!" The Daughter then rushes forward and puts herself in front of Father. She then gasps as the dagger plunges into her back.

"Whyyy?" The Son calls out. The Daughter then sags against the Father. The Son the flies up, away from us. Anakin then rushes forward and flips Snips over to her back. Obi and I follow and we see her eyes. The pupils were hidden and you could only see the whites of her eyes. Next to us the Father takes the dagger out of the Daughters back and throws it away.

"My daughter...What have I done?" The Daughter then coughs.

"Do not hate him, Father. It is his nature."

"No." I hear their conversation. I look up and see the tree dying and turning to ash. "All is lost. The balance has been broken. I thought by bringing you here, I would-but have destroyed everything."

"Can you help her?" Anakin asked.

"There is no light. The evil has been unleashed, and the dark side shall consume her." The Father said.

"You must help her!"

"I cannot undo what is done. There is no hope."

"Yes, there is. There's always hope!" Anakin yelled. The Daughter then put her hand on the Father's face and pointed to Snips. He then stands up and goes between the two and gestures for Anakin to the same.

Anakin then knees down and does what the Father does. "Then let my daughter's last act be to breathe life into your friend." Anakin then puts a finger on both the Daughter's and Snips' foreheads. Suddenly light shines out of Anakin's eyes and the Daughters and Snips' bodies. Both me and Obi block our eyes from the blinding light.

Then the light goes away and I uncover my eyes. I look at Snips' body and see it looks the same but her pupils are still hidden. She then starts coughing and sits up. Anakin then hugs Snips and gives a small laugh. "Hey, Snips." I go over and hug her also.

"What's going on?" She asked sounding groggy, looking between us. She then looks down and see my arm missing. "What happened to your arm!?" Snips demanded.

"Uh, not much. It's good to see you. And you probably don't want to know." Anakin said. He then helps her up and Obi hands her her lightsaber back.

"As the balance in this world crumbles, so shall war escalate in your galaxy. As my son has descended into the dark side, so have the Sith gained strength."

"We will stop your son," Anakin said.

"No. You must go now. He needs your ship to leave the planet. You must leave before he can take it."
"What about you?" Obi asked.

"I shall mourn all that I have done...and all that is yet to be." In the distance, we can hear the thunder booming like a drum. We then walk away back to our ship.

"Will someone tell me what happened to Iko's arm?" Snips asked.

"Probably later," I tell her.

Just so you know Iko will have a cyborg arm from this point on. Even if I go back I will probably have her arm remain cyborg. Just thought I'd warn you. I was sorta planning on doing that for a while but I didn't know how since I was planning on Savage doing it. But this works too. Ok, review! Love ya! -RK
