Naboo:
Padme sat on her Throne with Leia and Ahsoka flanking the Throne as the doors of the throne room opened.
She saw Lady Lego entering the room in tears as she stood up.
She left the Throne and hugged the tearful woman.
Lady Lego seemed rather surprised to see that she lacked her makeup and headpiece.
She smiled as the older woman spoke, "You certainly have grown into a beautiful woman Padme. How old are you now?"
"Thirty one," Padme replied.
The older woman smiled as she saw Leia and Ahsoka leaving the room, "And your daughter looks like you."
"She does, she takes after me, and my son takes after Anakin. Now now, what can I do for you Milady?"
"I-I came here because I have to know about my son. W-What happened to him? Did it have to do with your mother's death? I know that he was evil, but I have to know the truth."
"They kidnapped me from Darred and Sola's house. My son used the Force and found me. My Mother intended to give me to Ian once Anakin was dead. She had faith that Palpatine would be able to defeat him. My son led my daughter and Anakin's Apprentice and their friends to my mother's house. They slaughtered all of the stormtroopers and Luke came into the house. He was filled with rage because of my mother and Ian's thoughts. He killed Ian in his anger before he killed my mother."
Lady Lego looked at Padme in tears as hugged her, "I'm so sorry."
"I always told him that his ways would catch up with him. Don't apologize Padme."
"Luke was punished," Padme added.
"For protecting you?"
"For murder. He used the Force to kill Ian and he wasn't even armed. My mother was unarmed and he tortured her. He almost fell to the dark side."
"You're his mother and I heard Ruwee say that you were pregnant. Of course he was angry."
"It isn't that simple."
"I don't hold any grudge against your son. My son betrayed my Queen and my people. What he received was the price of evil. It hurts me because I love him, but he died because of who and what he became. Force, I'm angry at him for what he did. And what if something had happened to your baby? I would have never forgiven him."
"That doesn't make what Luke did right."
"No, but I doubt that any good mother with an equally good and loyal son would have results that are any different."
Padme nodded as the older woman stood up, "I don't want to keep you any longer Padme."
"Visit my grandmother, she is at Sola's and she is expecting you. She said that you can lean on her. And the same is for me. You can lean on my entire family any day."
"Thank you my Queen, you are too gracious."
Padme smiled as the older woman left the room.
At the same time she saw Leia and Ahsoka reentering as Leia spoke, "I can't believe that that is Ian Lego's mother."
"Look at your grandmother. Who your mother and father are doesn't define you. What you do and who you choose to become defines you. You can have the most perfect father and mother and the most perfect brother and sister. That still means nothing, you still have your own choices to make," Padme stated.
Star Destroyer Accuser:
Emperor Palpatine stared down at Naboo as the Accuser came into orbit above the Planet.
At the same time, he noticed the ship's captain approaching him, "We received a distress call from the planet's garrison as we arrived.
We also received a message from Coruscant. They state that we are in danger and that the Avenger and the Endeavor are unaccounted for."
Palpatine reached out with the Force with a smile.
"Because the traitor Skywalker is here. Have my guards and my shuttle ready. We are heading down to the planet!"
Palpatine smiled, even if you defeat me Vader, I will end the life of your precious wife.
Naboo:
Anakin stopped in mid sentence with Boss Nass as he turned to Obi-Wan and Eli, "Do you feel that?"
"I can feel it," Eli replied.
Anakin turned to Mace Windu as he spoke, "Remain here and finish up negotiations. I have to get to my wife before he does!"
Anakin ran past several gungans and out of the swamp with Obi-Wan and Eli following.
He quickly jumped onto the speeder that Luke was waiting in as Eli yelled to Kayla and Mara, "Leave the swoop bike for Master Windu and take the other speeder!"
Anakin drove off as Eli hopped into the speeder, leaving the sacred gungan swamps behind as they rushed off in a desperate attempt to save Padme from death at the hands of the Galaxy's most evil man.
Alliance Command ship Home One:
Bail Organa answered his comlink as he spoke, "Yes Master Windu?"
"Destroy the Star Destroyer that just entered the system and blockade the planet. Palpatine is here."
"What?"
"He must have came after hearing about Panaka's disappearance. Just get the blockade in place immediately!"
"You've got it," Bail replied as he looked to Yoda who sat at his side.
Yoda looked at him and spoke, "If Palpatine escapes, failure in ending this war we will suffer."
Bail nodded as he hurried to follow the requests of the Jedi Masters.
Naboo:
Padme noticed Captain Typho rushing into the room with around thirty Royal troopers.
"Imperial Guards are here, the Emperor is coming!"
Padme looked at Leia and Ahsoka in horror as she stood up.
"Ah Queen Amidala, it has been far too long."
Padme turned to see the cackling Emperor entering the room as her guards raised their blasters.
Ahsoka shook her head as she spoke, "Lower your weapons."
She looked at Padme and spoke, "Get out of here now!"
"Not..."
"You have to think of your baby and your men who will not stand down. Go!"
Ahsoka turned to Leia as she spoke, "You will make me proud. I was honored to be your master."
She kissed her padawan's forehead as she turned and ignited her lightsaber.
Leia realized what her Master wanted her to do as she spoke, "Ahsoka, There was never a better Master."
Ahsoka gave Leia a sad smile as Leia dragged her mother out of the room.
"You will never lay a hand on either one of them Lord Sidious!" Ahsoka defiantly yelled.
Leia fought her way past around a dozen guards with the loyal Nabuian troopers backing her up as she led her mother to a speeder.
Padme climbed into the speeder with Captain Typho as Leia spoke, "I have to go back for Ahsoka."
"Leia..."
"Dad is coming, please let me help her."
"Leia leave with your mother," Leia heard Ahsoka whisper in her head.
Leia sighed as Padme spoke, "We will return when your father arrives."
Leia reluctantly climbed into the speeder without a word as it took off.
Ahsoka raised her lightsaber as she attacked the advancing Royal Guards.
She used the Force to send several of them flying back against the wall as she cut down guard after guard under Palpatine's watchful eye.
She turned to Palpatine as he activated his own lightsaber.
She advanced upon him in a lethal fury of strikes that forced the Sith Master to fall back.
Ahsoka wasn't fighting for her life, she was fighting for the family that she loved, her family, the Skywalker's who had taken her as their own. She made strike after strike against Palpatine as she advanced forward and thought of one thing, buying time for Padme and Leia to escape.
"Your Mastery is certainly impressive Tano," Palpatine stated as he dropped his lightsaber and raised his hands.
Ahsoka dropped her lightsaber and caught the lightning in mid air as she landed on her feet.
She realized that Palpatine was overpowering her with each passing minute.
She reached out with the Force as she focused on the love that she had for Leia and for Anakin and Padme.
She defiantly stared at Palpatine as she spoke, "She'll never be yours. You lost Sidious. Padme will live to give birth to her child. Leia will grow up to be a great Jedi Knight. You have simply failed because I got in the way."
"You getting in the way has costed you your life," Palpatine replied.
"My life for their lives is a sacrifice that I will gladly make any day," Ahsoka stated as she force pushed the lightning towards Palpatine.
She was pushed back several feet as Palpatine was hurled in the opposite direction.
She then stood up as she looked for her lightsaber.
At the same time the turned to see him charging her.
He had found his lightsaber.
Ahsoka called her own to her hand as Palpatine slammed his lightsaber into her chest.
She ignited her own blade as it brushed into his cloak.
Palpatine let out a scream as Ahsoka fell to her knees.
She looked up at Palpatine with a smile, "Your life will soon end."
Anakin looked at Luke as he spoke, "Fly me over the rotunda."
"Yes Father," Luke replied.
Anakin looked down at the Rotunda as he felt Ahsoka's life fading away.
He jumped as he activated his lightsaber.
He cut into the rotunda as he sensed Luke, Obi-Wan and Eli following.
He jumped into the hole that he made without looking back.
Palpatine turned around in time to see Anakin Skywalker standing before him.
"My young Apprentice, you have finally been found."
"Your Star Destroyer is gone. The planet is blockaded you can either surrender or die."
Palpatine responded by raising his hand as Anakin raised his own hand to absorb the lethal lightning.
At the same time, Palpatine saw Eli and Kenobi arriving along with the boy that he recognized as Luke Skywalker.
The Three Jedi quickly started to encircle him as Eli advanced upon him, "We never did finish our last fight did we Sidious?"
"No we didn't. It's nice to see that you have returned to finish it. I'm glad that you're willing to die with your treacherous brother Master Skywalker.
He raised his hand as Eli quickly countered the lightning with his lightsaber.
At the same time, Luke and Kenobi advanced upon him.
Palpatine quickly activated his lightsaber as the four Jedi started to attack him.
He struggled to get out of the lethal circle that they had created as he pushed the youngest Skywalker with a touch of the Force.
He turned to Kenobi and gave him a push as Anakin and Eli continued to fight.
Before he could push Eli, he felt a push and turned his head just in time to see Tano's orange hand raised.
He slammed into the nearby wall as he could see blue and green lightsabers striking from all angles. Luke and Kenobi had rejoined the fight and it was all that he could do to parry each strike.
At that moment, he felt Both Anakin and Eli Skywalker's blades touching his right thigh.
His left leg already was injured from Ahsoka and now, he felt a burning sensation in his leg as he struggled to parry the youngest Skywalker's strike.
At the same time, it was too late for him to block Anakin's strike, the strike that entered his throat.
Anakin deactivated his blade and dropped his lightsaber as he rushed to Ahsoka's side.
Ahsoka looked at Anakin with a smile as she spoke, "Hello Skyguy, it looks like you finished him."
"Snips, I-I can't lose you."
"I had to keep her safe. He was going to kill Padme and the baby. he would have probably killed Leia too. He knew that he was going to lose. He was going to destroy your family."
"But you are my family Ahsoka," Anakin stated in tears as he saw Leia rushing to her Master's side.
"P-Please Master don't do this," Leia pleaded.
Ahsoka looked at Leia as she spoke, "Move forward my young Padawan. Make me proud, you will be as great as your father someday. You and your brother are both going to be great Jedi. Jedi that will overshadow even your Father. Giving my life for you and your little sister is an honor that any Jedi would seek."
Leia sobbed as Ahsoka turned to Anakin, "Anakin, you were the best Master I could have asked for.".
"A-And you made your Master proud Ahsoka," Anakin stated in tears.
Ahsoka smiled as she looked at her Master one last time before looking at her padawan.
"Remember all that I taught you Leia, you are my pride make me..."
Ahsoka's life left her in that moment as Anakin and Leia sobbed together.
Father and Daughter hugged the dead togruta in tears as Padme watched the scene.
She stared towards Palpatine's corpse in disgust as she turned to Captain Typho.
"Take that body, and toss it into the sun."
"As you wish, your Majesty."
Padme turned to Ahsoka's body as she felt tears in her eyes.
She knelt down with her husband and daughter as Luke and Mara joined them.
Alright that's it for now, thank you for reading and reviewing.
