Daniel & Anakin
"That's impossibe." Daniel couldn't believe his eyes "Darion?"
"Yes." The sheik said from his dusty throne "It is I. The powerful sith lord Darion!"
"But you're so Old?" Daniel said in shock.
"Yes." Darion said, his eyes sunken in "It has been a long time for me. You probably feel like the last time you saw me it was less than an hour ago. For me, however, it's been thirty years. I was trapped in this time line for that entire time."
"How?" Anakin looked at the old crone sitting in his throne.
"I get it." Daniel said "You were thrown further back in time then us. You arrived thirty years before us, and now you've just be waiting for us to arrive ever since. For us it's been two hours... for you it's been thirty years!"
"Precisely." Darion said a slight smirk on his face "But i haven't just been waiting. I've had an eventful life. As you can see I'm the leader of an entire nation. I command armies. I lead troops. I choose who lives and who dies with a single word. To these simpletons... I. Am. God!
"You see, when I arrived i was nearly dead. Baking in my metal armor, cast out in the wretched sun. I would have died then, and there had it not been for a passing caravan. They picked me up, and soon they came to now me as Hunrit Sivbard 'Demon of the Sands'. I spent my time hunting for you all across this accursed desert.
"Eventually i realized you weren't here. So I decided to use my title to it's full potential. I found those who'd heard the tail of the Sivbard, and i turned them into my followers. So we became many, and i overturned this lands previous ruler. I was finally where every man wants to be, in power. I could do whatever I wanted.
"Yet still, my dreams, nay my nightmares, were haunted by memories of you fools. I couldn't stop thinking of the bufoon who managed to best me, and the ridiculous Jedi who kept matching me. So I spent my years brooding, waiting for the day you arrived. Now here you are."
"So." Daniel said "You waited all this time, just to kill us?"
"No! not just to kill you." Darion stood his back straightening, and his previous height returning "To thank you. I may have been trapped in this waistland, but it's because of my entrapment that i came to know such power. These fools may look upon me as a god, but it is you who has created this god... this Vengeful God!"
With that he attacked. For someone of such age he managed to still carry the full force of his previous years. Daniel backflipped just as his saber activated, and the red blade hummed where the boy had just stood. Anakin activated his own saber, and looked at Darion.
"I don't want to fight you old man" He said.
"Then Die!" Darion screamed, and lunged forward again. Anakin dodged, and parried. The two set about clashing sabers as they had when they first met. Darion still flared his attacks, and nearly sent Anakin sprawling.
Daniel leapt in, and crashed his own saber against Darion's. The sith lord hissed at him, and recommenced his attack. The three saber wielders battled back and forth; their blades hissed on contact, and sparks leapt about the throne room. The dome high above their heads flashed with the blows. It created a dazzling reflection of Green and Red.
Daniel would have stopped to appreciate the wonder, but he was to entangled in the battle. The heat from the blade against his face, the light coming from each crash, it was insane. HIs last battle with Darion had been nowhere near as... terrifying. He saw the pure hatred in the old man's eye, and he knew the aged sith wouldn't hesitate to bring an end to him.
"Anakin I have a plan, do what I do." He said to Anakin who nodded. He looked at the sith lord, and struck out at his feet. Darion backed off for a moment, and daniel took this moment to grab a chain holding a chandelier to the ceiling. He saw Anakin copy him, and nooded.
"Time to pull a jack sparrow!" Daniel yelled, and cut the base holding the chain to the wall. He held on tight as he felt gravity pull him up, and try to pull him down at once. He felt his arm get pulled taught, and was drawn all the way up to the ceiling in an instant. He let go of the chain, and gripped one of the statues built into the support pillars. He looked off to his right, and saw Anakin holding on to a similar statuette.
Down below Darion shrieked, and howled. Then he struck. Not at them, but at their pillars. The giant supporting rods creaked, and groaned as his saber cut through them effortlessly. Then they broke. They pillars started to crack and fall, and tore the roof off with them. Huge pieces of the dome came crubling down towards the sith lord. He held up his hands, and the force suddenly bulged beneath them, and brought them to a halt.
Daniel leapt from one piece of debris to the other. He jumped and tucked his way through the nexus of crumbling clay. He saw a newly formed hole in the roof ahead, and he went for it. His dive went perfectly, and he found himself on the exterior of the crumbling dome. His feet landed solidly, and he slid down the breaking monument. He heard a grunt, and the pounding of impacting feet, and knew Anakin was behind him.
Each second more and more of the building gave way. The two raced towards the safety of the ground, but soon it seemed they may not make it. They leaned further in, and gained speed. Daniel felt the dome shudder beneath him. The arabian air pressed against his face as he sped his way down the side. Then just as he reached the edge of the dome he leaped.
Inside the dome, Darion was trying to hold the giant mass of rocks aloft, but it was to no avail. The more he managed to stabilize the more came tumbling down on top of him. He tried desperately to make his way to the exit, but each step simply weakened him more. He took a breath, and looked up at the last bit of sunlight. He stared at the sky that was left, and with what breath he had left... He screamed.
It was a sound of pure agony, hatred, and anger. It echoed across the land he had called his own for so many years now. It rang in the ears of his subjects, as they watched there greatest structure come crashing down. His reign was over, his battle was over, his life was over, and as the clay came tumbling down, The destroyer of Jedi... slept.
Outside the crumbling dome, Daniel coughed. Large pile of dust, and debris were spilling from what remained of the dome. He waved the dust out of his face, and grabbed Anakin for support. The two looked up at the remains of the great dome, and saw nothing but a pile of rock.
"Wow..." Daniel said looking at the remains of Darion's palace "It's... It's all gone. Darion's life work... wiped away in a single battle. It's kind of... metaphorical."
"Um, it's not all gone." Anakin pointed down the street. Daniel followed his hand, and sighed. A huge group of Guards were running at them, swords drawn.
"You take the hundred on the left." Daniel asid as he flicked his wrist, and the saber activated "I've got the two hundred on the right."
Ahsoka
She saw the huge tower of dust climb into the sky. It was visible from dozens of miles away. It was like a beacon. She knew that only two people could cause such tremendous destruction. So she walked. She moved tirelessly through the desert air knowing she was nearing her goal.
As she came walkign up to the giant gate she smiled. It wasn't possible. There, as if awaiting her, stood two people she had wanted so much to see. They hadn't actually been waiting for her, but when she looked back on it she had always thougth that something had made them be there at that city gate.
"Daniel! Anakin!" She yelled. The two who had been looking at a stand of fruit turned, and looked out at the desert. She saw Anakin gasp, and Daniel simply smiled. She thought she even saw him mouth the words 'Atta girl', but she couldn't tell for sure. She ran to them, and hugged them both.
"Snips!" Anakin yelled "How did you get here?"
She smiled as they bombarded her with questions, and she wanted nothing more than to answer them, but her days of walking finally settled in. She collapsed unconcious in Daniels arms.
"Wow!" The silver eyed boy said catching the girl "Looks like she's pretty exhausted."
"Yeah." Anakin said "We oughtta get her inside...and get her a shirt."
"Aww, but it's so much fun this way." Daniel joked as he pulled the girl up into his arms. Anakin glared a him "What I'm kidding." Daniel took off his hood,a nd rested over her bare chest.
"Much better." Anakin said
"Now come on." Daniel said "She may be extremely light, but it's still 102 degrees out here." Anakin simply laughed, as they walked the tired girl into the city. When she awoke... well that's when the real fun would begin.
