Chapter 35

Return of the Chosen One

Han blasted at the stormtroopers while the Ewoks continued to battle them with arrows, stick, and boulders that they slammed into the stormtroopers and the techs. The strike team was fighting superbly and they were able to keep the stormtroopers at bay, away from the doors.

"Do you think you can get us in there?" Obi-Wan asked swinging his lightsaber rapidly back and forth to block the blaster bolts that were being fired at him and Mara. Their moves weren't close to being the same but there was a sort of fluid grace to their movements that made them seem similar.

Han shook his head before he pulled out his comlink. "Artoo, do you think you can come here and open the door for us?" he called into it. Artoo beeped an affirmative and Han watched as the little blue droid rolled forward through the battle with Threepio hurrying after him.

Artoo immediately connected himself to the computer while Han and Leia fired on the stormtroopers that were trying to get through to the shield generator. He took out another stormtrooper before ducking away, which proved to be a mistake as a stormtrooper shot at Artoo and it slammed into him. Artoo squealed before he flew back from the computer and short-circuited.

Han grimaced. "I suppose I can hotwire it," he said before he turned his attention to the control panel as Leia continued to fire at the stormtroopers and Mara and Obi-Wan fought side by side to block any blaster bolts that were aimed at them.

"I got it, I got it," Han said as he connected some wires and he winced when the second doors closed. Oops, he thought as he struggled to come up with another way to open now both doors.

One blaster bolt made it past Mara and Obi-Wan and slammed into Leia's shoulder, causing her to cry out in pain. "Leia," Han gasped kneeling down beside Leia.

"It's…not that bad," Leia murmured in pain.

"All right, hands up," a stormtrooper said. Han glanced over his shoulder and noticed that Mara and Obi-Wan were occupied a little ways away from the shield generator.

Leia smiled and gestured briefly to the blaster she was holding and Han smiled. "Ah, I love you," he said before he turned around and raised his hands just as Leia pulled the blaster up and blasted the stormtrooper.

Palpatine snarled in fury before leaping to his feet and glaring at Vader. "What is the meaning of this, Lord Vader?" he demanded.

Vader looked at him. "Master, they're after you, not me. You angered too many people, Master," he sneered sarcastically with a hint of disrespect.

Palpatine snarled in fury. "How dare you betray me like this?" he snarled before he pulled out his lightsaber and ignited it but before he could leap at Vader, as he had thought he would, the Synths sprang into the battle.

Blasterfire filled the area almost immediately and Vader found himself and Luke struggling to fend off the blasterfire that came from the six blasters the three Synths were holding. The dark lord found himself at Luke's side and the two of them moved their lightsabers in fluid movements that the Synths couldn't seem to comprehend.

Palpatine snarled in fury as he fended off one of the Synths while Luke and Vader fended themselves off with the other Synths. Qui-Gon, where are you? Vader demanded silently as he twirled his lightsaber rapidly to block the blasterfire being thrown at him.

Ah, I'm a bit preoccupied right about now, Qui-Gon admitted silently.

Vader sighed before he narrowed his eyes as he angled his lightsaber downed to avoid another blaster bolt before hissing in pain as another one grazed his shoulder causing him to stagger back.

Palpatine leapt at the Synth that was attacking Vader before slicing him in half and turning his attention to Vader, his yellow eyes flaring with rage. "Lord Vader," he snarled in fury.

"Behind you," Vader said shortly. He only warned his former master because he wanted to have the pleasure of killing his lying master.

Palpatine whirled around and lashed out with Force lightning and it slammed into the Synth, sending the Synth flying into the railing before he fell over it and disappeared down the reactor core. Palpatine seemed to shudder slightly before the third and final Synth leapt at them, blasterfire flying out of her blaster and causing Vader, Palpatine and Luke to fall into step side by side as their lightsabers flashed rapidly to fend off the blasterfire.

Palpatine snarled in fury. "I have had enough of this idiot," he snarled before he lashed out with Force lightning just as Luke and Vader glanced at each other and tossed their lightsabers, using the Force so that the lightsabers sliced through the Synth writhing in pain from the lightning before they flew back into Vader and Luke's hands.

Palpatine turned around to face Vader and Luke his eyes flaring. "Now that that is over," he said coolly as he lowered his blade and glared at the two in front of him. "We may as well get back to the business at hand. Your betrayal shall cost you dearly, Lord Vader, as it shall cost you the life of your only son!"

Vader raised his blue lightsaber protectively knowing exactly what was happening at that moment. His master, Qui-Gon, Luke, everyone, they had been right, he was returning to the light side of the Force this entire time. He didn't believe them then and that was why he continued to maintain his pose in the darkness. Now that he believed them, the light within him was free to roam his body as it chose. The light was free and with the light that pulsated through his entire body, Anakin Skywalker faced his greatest and darkest enemy with the light side of the Force as his ally.

The Chosen One had returned.

Lando blasted another TIE fighter before swerving around an oncoming fighter that was being chased by an A wing before diving around in a 360 circle that allowed him to avoid the fighter that was following him before he blasted at him once he was flying behind him.

"Nailed him!" Lando said cheerfully.

His co-pilot nodded happily.

"TIE fighter coming in at .02, General," Wedge called over the comm.

"I see him," Lando replied before he dived downward and brought up the freighter before blasting at the fighter, destroying it quickly.

Oh when will this battle ever end?

Qui-Gon smiled before he eased the cover open, finally managing to get unstuck and slowly sliding forward. He didn't mean to get stuck in the ventilation shaft, the plan had been that he arrived to help Anakin and Luke defeat the Synths and then turn on Palpatine but he hadn't counted on getting stuck.

Oh Obi-Wan is never going to let me live this down, he mused silently as he watched Anakin Skywalker face off against Palpatine with Luke just behind him, both their lightsabers were ignited and in their hands.

Welcome back, Chosen One, Qui-Gon thought as he prepared to enter the battle a little bit later than he had anticipated.

"Attacking the starfleet is getting us nowhere, not with the Death Star being fully operational," Ackbar growled over the comm.

"Calm yourself you will," Jedi Master Yoda ordered. He had been the one that had been supplying the Alliance leaders with well needed information from Endor as well as on the Death Star. He was the one that convinced them that Lando was correct and they should wait patiently for Han to take out the shield generator. He was also the one that convinced them it would be best if they attacked the Imperial Starfleet rather than the Death Star so that Luke would have enough time to get off of the space station.

Yoda smiled when he felt the rush and return of the most powerful Force signature in the history of the Jedi Order. Accepted the truth and the light side, Anakin has, he thought smiling before he gazed out through the viewports of Ackbar's ship, Home One.

Welcome back, Chosen One, he thought.

Obi-Wan felt the familiar Force signature return full force as he and Mara fought side by side against the stormtroopers and he smiled to himself as he leapt forward and slashed through one stormtrooper, cut the blaster of another and Force pushed another into a group, sending them all flying to the ground.

Obi-Wan felt a rush of adrenaline go through him, one that he has not felt since he last fought in a duel with Anakin, one of the most horrible days of his life, on Mustafar. Obi-Wan was glad that this time, he wasn't battling Anakin, this time he was battling to win this war, to win back what had been stolen from the galaxy.

And more importantly, fighting onward so that his former Padawan could sense that he was still fighting, so that his former Padawan could find it in himself to defeat Palpatine in the final battle. Anakin Skywalker was back and Obi-Wan knew with all his heart that the war, no matter if it was lost on Endor or if it was lost around the Death Star, will be decided by the final battle between Anakin and Palpatine with Qui-Gon and Luke merely thrown into the mix.

The day of fulfillment has arrived, Obi-Wan thought, now that the Chosen One has returned.

A/n what do you think?
