The Light And The Dark
Mustufar
Anger and Hate was coursing across the vast ocean of stars. While Aaron and Grace witnessed their friend, Derric, get murdered by the hands of Desric, the two were now hell bent on cutting the head off this snake. But while the assassins were being dealt with, Obi-wan was fending for his life as he continued to battle his fallen apprentice, Vader.
While the two men continued to fight within the base, they were unaware that the flowing river of lava was melting pieces of the structure that was keeping the base from falling into the molten lava. Piece by piece, the metal would give in to the fiery heat and would melt away before the base would give off a small crack that would echo within the base.
As Obi-wan continued his fight with Vader, the two men continued to clash their blades with one another, but as Obi-wan threw several strikes at his apprentice, he would also throw a heavy kick to Vader's gut, temporarily stopping his oncoming attacks. But even though Vader was knocked, he would still have enough time to stop his former master from landing a deadly strike onto him.
With their battle raging within the base, Obi-wan looked over and noticed that their fight had caused the base's shield to malfunction, and now their battle field was about to heat up very quickly. Even though the base would soon fall into the river of lava, Vader however did not care. All he wanted was to end his former friend's life for everythting that had ever happened to him. Instead of fleeing deeper within the base, Vader forces Obi-wan outside and soon their fight began to take place in the unforgivable heat and terrain of this volcanic planet.
Fighting down the hallway, Obi-wan begins to switch his point of position from offense to defense as he was now walking backwards while Vader was beginning to press forward with his attacks. The attacks that both men launched at one another were equally matched as Obi-Wan is able to deflect several strikes from Vader while also landing several failed attempts himself.
Their fight suddenly brought them to a narrow bridge that connected to another part of the base. As the two crossed the bridge, Obi-wan was still trying to fend off several of Vader's Attacks. But as he continued to walk back, Obi-wan deflected one of Vader's strikes before following up with a right hook punch toward his apprentices jaw. The force of the punch was able to knock vader for a few seconds, giving Obi-wan enough time to think quick.
Tire of fighting defense, he decides to change things up, he looks back and sees a large dangling cable hangin beside him. He jumps onto it and swings around Vader before he looked and saw Obi-wan swing around him to try to land a killing blow. However, thanks to his heightened senses, the dark apprentice holds his lightsaber behind his back to immediately block and hold off Obi-wan's attack.
As Obi-wan tries to end this fight quickly, he watches Vader block his oncoming attacked before the two were forced through a door as the lava began to erupt more violently and soon started to splash against the metal support structure beneath the base. Soon enough their base would soon become engulfed by the liquid fire.
Coruscant
With Obi-wan and Anakin at each other's throats, Master Yoda had his hands busy as well, as he tried to fend off the Emperor as best as he could. With the two the most powerful wielders of the force, it was as if an unstoppable force was colliding with an immovable object. While the Emperor had the element of surprise, Master Yoda had the advantage of speed on his side.
Given the fact that Emperor Palpatine had single handedly wiped out several Council Members at ounce, including Master Windu, Master Yoda made sure that he would not underestimate his enemy. While Palpatine would slash forward at his foe, Master Yoda would use his incredible acrobatic skills to jump out of the way in order to follow up with an attack from above.
The Emperor knew he was in for a worthy fight, seeing as how Yoda can attack from all different directions. Their fight soon began to change scenery, when the two were lifted from the Emperor's chamber to the entire building of the Senate. Despite the fact that the battlefield was being changed from one room to another, the two men continued their fight with one another.
As they reached the center of the large grand room, the two locked blades with one another and the sound of their sabers cracking began to echo across the room. It wasn't long until they broke the lock and Yoda began to jump around the Emperor to attack from all different angles. But Palpatine knew his enemy too well and knew when to block each of Yoda's attacks. But as they fought one another, Yoda was able to disarm Palpatine as he was able to cut his lighsaber in two, leaving the Emperor defenseless.
However, since there was little room on their lift, the two knew that this fight was going to take place on a much more grand scale. Using the force, the emperor manages to catch Yoda off during mid flight, and pushes him off the edge of their podium. The little green Jedi Master holds on as he watches Darth Sidious jump off the podium before landing onto the Senate saucers.
Master Yoda is able to climb back up before making a large lead over to one of the saucers below, only to look up as the Emperor had finally reached the top. However, the dark lord of the sith had the advantage as he soon began to use the force to lift up several saucers right in front of Yoda. In an instant, Yoda hear's the Emperor give a wicked laugh before he suddenly began to throw several of the saucers down bellow, right towards him.
The Emperor watched as Yoda was able to avoid several of the saucers that were thrown at him and watches them crash down the floor below before he soon grabbed three more saucers to throw at him. He laughed in pure joy as he watched the Jedi Master flee for his life as he successfully avoided the three saucers. But even though Yoda was able to avoid his oncoming attacks, the Emperor would still grab more and more saucers to throw at him, sooner or later, he would be able to crush Master Yoda once and for all.
Growing tired of the Emperor's repeated attacks, Master Yoda deactivated his lightsaber before he held his hand up as one saucer came falling down on him. Using the force he was able to hold it on place before adding a small spin that would soon increase faster and faster. Then, without wasting another moment, Yoda manges to throw the saucer back at the emperor. Palpatine's laugh soon fades away as he saw the oncoming projectile fly directly at him.
Using his quick reflexes the Emperor is able to jump out of the way before landing onto a nearby saucer. But as he made his decent, he noticed that Yoda was no where to be scene. Looking in all different directions, Palpatine was for the first time scared. It wasn;t long until he saw Master Yoda come fling beneath him and landing onto his saucer with his green lightsaber ignited.
With no lightsaber to defend himself, the Emperor had only one thing left up his sleeve. Using his dark teachings of the force, Palpatine lifts up both his hands before he soon begins to shoot bolts of lighting out of his fingertips. The lightning catches Yoda off guard and is suddenly disarmed when he suddenly had to use both ands to fend off Darth Sidious' attack.
While Palpatine moved closer and closer to Yoda, to increase the amount of lighting, he began to laugh as he watched the Jedi Master struggle to hold his gorunds. But as he moved a step closer, he noticed that Master Yoda gave him a look of disgust before he watched him use the force to push back his dark lightning, causing a small explosion to knock the two of them off their saucer.
As the Emperor held onto the railing, struggling to pull himself up, Yoda was flung down to the podium before he slid across the side and held onto the very edge. With his nails scratching the side, he soon began to slip before he suddenly fell down to the bottom of the senate, hitting every destroyed aucer on the way down. This fight was over.
Seeing that the Emperor was too strong for him, Master Yoda realized that this was not the right time to attack. Now was the time to hide and wait for the right moment for the Jedi to return. Struggling to get on his feet, Master Yoda looks around and sees a nearby vent that could lead him outside. Not wasting any time, the Jedi master flees the scene and makes his way into the vent system.
The Emperor manages to climb back up to the saucer before looking down below. As he looks at the bottom floor, he noticed Yoda's cloak hanging on a broken pipe. Believing that his enemy was surely defeated, the Emperor began to laugh with great joy as he clapped his hands and was now the most powerful force wielder.
But as the Emperor celebrated his victory, he did not realize that Master Yoda was inside the vent system and was crawling his way to freedom. Thanks to his small body, the defeated Jedi Master was able to make his escape quick and easy. He soon reaches a small ventshaft that lead to the outside world. He reaches for his comlink and soon contacts an old friend. "Hurry, carefully timing this must be."
"Of course Master Yoda. Activate your homing beacon when you're ready." Senator organ said through the comlink.
Relieved that there were still allies he could trust, Master Yoda activates his homing beacon to show the senator his location, which was beneath the senate. He then looks beside and sees a small lever and pulls it before he felt the wind blow against him. As he looked down he saw Senator Organa casually drive beneath the vent. Not wasting any time, Yoda jumps down below and lands next to the Senator before the two drove off.
As Yoda and Bail Organa, drive through the city, Yoda feels a large amount of defeat growing within him. "Into exile, I must go. Failed I have."
Realized that he failed to stop the Sith Emperor, Yoda believed that his one chance to redeem himself would be to disappear off the face the galaxy. It seemed like the time of the Jedi was over, and by only bringing back more Jedi into this new fight, would only endanger the lives of the people. Perhaps, isolation may be the only way to protect everyone the Jedi fought for. It seemed like the right choice, but for Yoda, it felt as if the Jedi Master running away from his fear.
Mustufar
After Yoda failed to defeat Master Sidious, there was only little hope to destroy the sith. Back on Mustufar, Obi-wan and Vader continued their battle across the base. But as they continued to clash their lightsabers with one another, the flowing river of lave grew more aggressive as it soon began to splash more against the metal base.
While the two battled inside the base, Vader was able to use the force to push his former Master against the wall, causing him to drop his lightsaber. As Obi-wan slid to the floor he looked up and saw his fallen raise his lightsaber. Acting quick on his feet, the Jedi Knight was able to retrieve his lightsaber before he slashed a nearby pipe and suddenly blew hot steam directly at Vader.
Obi-wan watched as Vader stumbled back before master Kenobi was able to get up and slash more pipes in a narrow hallway. Vader looked up before he saw Obi-wan walk down a narrow hallway in front of him before cutting several pipes that created a thick fog of steam. He looks deep into the fog and begins to walk in. But as the fallen knight walked through the fog, he suddenly looked ahead and saw a blue lightsaber activate right in front of him. It wasn;t long until both he and Obi-wan were battleing each other deep within the thick orange fog.
But as the two men fought, they suddenly reached a small room with a window facing the volcanic scenery of the planet. Acting out of sheer instinct, Obi-wan manages to force push Anakin throough the glass and goes sailing through the glass shards while Master Kenobi took the nearby door to exit outside. He walks around the corner and sees Vader cut up and bleeding from the glass he landed on.
As he watched his apprentice bleed and struggle to get back up, Obi-wan tries to see if he can reconcile with his former friend one last time. "Anakin…I'm sorry, if I ever failed you, I am sorry. Let me help you."
"That's the problem with you Obi-wan, you always too cautious. Look at you." Vader said. "You know you can't beat me cause you don't have what it takes to cross that line."
"You don't understand what your actions can cause, I don't think you've ever understood." Obi-wan said. "There were times I wanted to avenge the people I lost. Qui-gon, Satine. But that's not the actions they would not want me to take. And it's certainly not the actions Padme would want you to commit."
"Don't you put that on me…" Anakin said with his anger growing within him.
Obi-wan soon holds his lightsaber close." Anakin, I don't want to do this."
"You're suppose to be my friend."
"Which is why it's going to hurt me even more when I have to stop you."
"You won't…" Vader said before he suddenly reached out his hand and suddenly used the force to choke the life out of his friend. The air within Obi-wan's lungs were suddenly stripped clean as the Jedi Master was struggling to breath air and Vader walked over to his hovering friend. "You're nothing but a coward. You think you're better than me? You couldn't stop this war from tearing down everything the Chancellor fought to preserve! Not Coruscant! Not Naboo! Or anything!"
Before Vader could move another step, a large cracking noise can be heard echoing across the base, suddenly the floor beneath him suddenly takes a large dip and Vader quickly deactivates his lightsaber by accident before also releasing Obi-wan from his grip. In an instant, the base begins to drop several pieces near the river and the flowing lava suddenly erupts in fury. As the support structure finally gave in, the base suddenly took a dip into the river during the eruption.
Obi-wan is able to roll for cover from the falling lava, but as he rolled away, Vader's anger got the best of him as he lunged over to kill his fleeing Master. However, as he made his way toward Obi-wan, a large splash of lava suddenly falls down onto Vader.
The heat of the lava is too much for him and the fallen Jedi Knight falls onto his knees as he feels the lava burn through his skin. His anger became his downfall as the fire quickly engulfed Vader's body, forcing him to scream in pain.
Obi-wan gets up off the floor and walks over to his fallen apprentice. The horror he witnessed was too much for him to watch as he saw every bit of Anakin get burned away from the fire. He looks down as tears begin to flow from out of his eyes. "This was you're doing! You brought this pain upon yourself! Not me! You were my friend! I tried to save you! I'm sorry! I failed you Anakin!"
Vader continues to scream in pain as he felt the molten lave burn most of his limbs off. His legs and left arm were melted clean off as the lava burned all around him. But as Vader burned within the fire, Obi-wan walks over to the horrific scene and retrieves Anakin's lightsaber. Obi-wan heard the echoing screams of his fallen apprentice as he began to walk away, but with every step he took Vader crawled to safety from the fire.
After fighting all throughout the base, Obi-wan is able to make it to the landing pad where he saw 3PO wait for him outside Padme's ship. "Oh Master Kenobi! Thank goodness you're back! We have miss Padme on board. Hurry, quick, we must leave this dreadful place."
Obi-wan soon walks into the ship past 3PO and suddenly sees Padme lying next to a small bed with several wires hooked up to her wrists and ankles. He looks down at his friend while she uses enough strength to ask him a simple question. "Obi-wan….is Anakin…"
"Rest Padme." He quietly said. He didn't have the heart to tell her the horrific truth of what happened to the man she married. Obi-wan soon makes it to the front of the ship before he watches 3PO pilot the ship and surely take off far away from this place. Even though he failed to save Anakin, he will not fail in saving Padme.
Okay everyone that is going to be it on the final battle between the Jedi and the Sith. Well what did you expect? I wish I could tell you that the Jedi managed to defeat the Sith once and for all. But this not that kind of a story. I can't wait to see you all in December with Aaron and Grace's FINAL battle with Desric.
After years of hunting Desric, Aaron's journey is almost over. But what awaits him at the end? There are only two ways out. Victory or Death.
What do you think will happen, we'll soon find out. See you all next week.
