Arya didn't wait for the others as she ran towards the compound she knew he was in. She knew this was the place he kept all those kids and did the experiments, and she knew she was going to end it all today.

She ignored the shouts behind her and pushed Eli's arms off her as he tried to stop her. If anyone knew what she was going through, it was Eli, he'd been experimented on too, but he still didn't understand all of it.

His power was running fast, but she could destroy people from the inside, could tear their mind apart with a flick of her wrist. People were terrified of her and despite the fact that she was fighting for the good side, some never fully trusted her. They were scared of what she was capable of.

She had to make sure no innocent kids were ever put through that.

"Let go of me!" She yelled fiercely, finally making Eli step back from her. "I'm going in with or without you, so either follow me or not."

Eli nodded wordlessly, his face shrouded with worry for his twin. He'd never seen her like this before, it was unsettling.

Luke followed behind the twins with Leia at his side. He suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes wide with disbelief as Eli scooped up Arya in his arms and sped off into the building. He cursed loudly and began to sprint, taking out his blaster. He really wished he had his lightsaber with him, but he hadn't finished making it yet.

"How long did Dex say it would take?" Luke asked as he ran.

"It shouldn't be too long, the Peacekeepers want this to be over with as much as we do." Leia panted as she ran next to him. "They'll be here soon, don't worry."

The two of them slowed their stride as they got to the door that was thrown open and crept inside slowly, trying to calm their loud breaths.

Luke and Leia both had to stifle a gasp as they saw a crowd of guards lying on the floor motionless, but still breathing. Arya and Eli had taken them all out within seconds. Luke carefully stepped over a guard who was sitting up, his eyes wide and glowing red as he was trapped in a nightmare, soft whimpers coming from his mouth.

Luke had to remind himself that these people were the enemy, that he shouldn't feel any empathy towards them after the horrible things they'd all done.

He tightened his grip on his blaster and grabbed Leia's arm to keep her close. He pointed down the hallway that was dimly lit and she nodded, each of them taking in a deep breath before moving forward slowly.

It was silent as they walked, both of them holding their breaths as they waited for a possible enemy to come for them. Luke focused on the limited force training he had to try and find where Arya and Eli were, or where the man from the market was.

Luke and Leia only made it a few steps before a body crashed through the wall, making them jump back. Luke immediately placed himself in front of Leia and shielded the both of them from the debris with his arm over her shoulder.

They both pointed their blasters at the man who coughed and staggered to his feet.

"Eli?" Leia gasped, realizing who the man was.

"You ok?" Luke asked, helping him stand. He looked through the hole in the wall only to catch a glimpse of a familiar long black cloak as the man they were looking for left the room. Eli nodded weakly and coughed again.

"Where's Arya?"

"She went the other way. Said she wanted to make sure there weren't any more victims."

"Bet that's where he's going too." Luke said worriedly, his eyes still glued to the empty room. "Come on."

The three of them hurried down the hall and each stopped in their tracks, giving each other similar wide eyed, fearful looks as they heard screams. Before he could even comprehend what he was doing, Luke rushed forward. He focused on the energy of the force, the bond between them, and used it to guide him to her.

He practically skidded around the corner, holding onto the wall to keep his balance, and his heart fell at the sight in front of him. Arya had her arms stretched wide, a wall of shimmering red energy shielding her from the shimmering gold energy the man cast towards her.

"Get them out of here!" Arya yelled to him, finally snapping Luke back into attention.

He moved to the three young girls that were chained to the back wall, their bodies trembling in fear. He swallowed thickly and bent down to their eye level. "My name's Luke Skywalker, I'm gonna get you to safety, ok? I'm not gonna hurt you, I promise." He told them softly.

The girls looked at him fearfully, until one of them sat up in realization. "Luke Skywalker? From the Rebellion?" Her eyes were wide with disbelief and she almost gasped as her eyes scanned next to him as Leia kneeled down. "You're the princess." She breathed out in relief, tears running down her cheeks.

Luke looked over at Arya, trying to hold back a smile as she knocked the sorcerer off his feet and pushed him back with a ball of energy. He helped the girls up to their feet and guided them out of the room with Leia.

The hairs on the back of his neck stood up and his guard was up immediately. He turned on his heel and pushed Leia and the prisoners down as a blast hit the wall beside their heads. Before he could react, Eli had flashed past him and knocked the man down.

"How many people did he give powers to?" Leia asked, her voice laced with fear.

"I don't know." Luke responded wearily, his brows furrowed tightly. "Get them outta here and wait for Dex and the other peackeepers to show up." He ordered her.

"What about you?"

"What do you think? I'm not gonna let Arya take this guy on alone." Luke yelled back to her as he started to run back to the room he'd last seen them, making sure to be careful to watch out for the other enhanced.

He kept his blaster held tightly in his hands, wishing he had his lightsaber with him.

"Luke!"

He spun on his heel and sighed in relief as he saw Arya running towards him. He pulled her close, crushing into his arms in a tight embrace. "Are you ok?" He asked breathlessly.

"I lost him." Arya said regretfully, her eyes darkened with shame. "Did you get the others out?"

"Yeah, Leia's with them."

"Where's Eli?"

"He's taking care of the other enhanced."

Arya's eyes widened and she looked up at Luke in shock. "Alone?"

"It's not like I could catch up to him and stop him." Luke argued, feeling his resolve beginning to slip. This wasn't how he thought this day would turn out. He sighed deeply and ran a hand over his tired face. "I'll go after him, ok?"

Arya nodded slowly, looking up at him gratefully. Luke smiled down at her, fighting the urge to kiss her. "Stay safe." He whispered and settled for planting a kiss to her forehead.

Aya watched as he ran down the hall. She couldn't help but feel completely distracted from the fight by what he'd told her before they left. He wanted to marry her, he had a ring, obviously something he'd had before they broke up.

She shook her head, forcing thoughts of him out, though it was practically impossible, and she slowly crept down the dimly light hallway in the opposite direction. She tried to focus on the connection she had with the man, even if it made her feel disgusted with herself.

She hated that she was like him in any way. She didn't even know his name, but she knew he despised him, that he was one of the worst creatures in the galaxy.

She could feel a presence in one of the rooms off to the side, but it wasn't the man she was looking for, it was one of the people he'd experimented on and turned into someone like her.

She ran ahead and burst through the door, skidding to the side in time to avoid getting a blast to the head. She thrust her hands out, knocking the young girl over. Arya twirled her hands, keeping the girl trapped in a shimmering red energy field that held her against the wall.

"You don't have to do this." Arya told the girl reassuringly. "This isn't who you want to be, I know, I didn't have a choice either. But you have a choice now. Make the right one."

The young girl was practically shaking in fear. "He told us about you. He said you were the enemy." She whimpered.

"He's lying to you. I'm with the Rebellion, I'm not working for the Empire. Princess Leia Organa is here."

The name of the princess made her look up at Arya, her face no longer creased with doubt. "The princess?" She asked slowly, still unsure of whether or not to trust her. Arya nodded and slowly moved her hands down, cutting off her powers that kept the girl frozen in place.

"Yes, you can go with her, the Rebellion will keep you safe." The young girl still didn't look completely convinced and Arya sighed deeply. "I know this wasn't your choice. What he did to you...bad people did the same thing to me. I can help you control this, I can make this better." She reasoned with her softly.

Arya's heart broke as she watched the girl in front of her start to cry, her arms wrapping around herself protectively. Arya could see herslf in this girl, she had been this girl just four years ago. She knew what it was like to have this huge power forced onto her unwillingly.

"I'll keep you safe, I promise." Arya told her honestly, her voice breaking slightly with emotion she was trying so hard to hold back.

The girl finally nodded and stood, slowly reaching her hand out to hers. Arya sighed in relief and gave her a small smile. As she reached out to grab her hand, the girl let out a loud, pain-filled gasp and fell to the floor.

Arya gaped down at the girl who lay motionless on the floor, a pool of blood growing under her. She looked up and swallowed thickly as she saw the powerful leader standing in the doorway, golden waves of energy still flowing around his outstretched hands.

"You really think I'd let her leave with you?" He taunted her, a sickly sweet smile on his face. He suddenly let out an amused laugh and started walking towards her slowly. "You really think I'm gonna let you leave?"

"Why are you doing this?" Arya asked hopelessly, her eyes shifting to the dead girl that lay in front of her and back up to him.

"You wouldn't understand. You were supposed to be like me, before the Rebellion soured your mind and turned you into this saviour." He spat the last word sarcastically, taunting her in the most vicious way.

"So what? You want galaxy wide domination like everyone else? That's your big plan? Well get in line."

The man, who she realized interestingly enough, she still didn't know the name of, suddenly rushed forward and gripped her by the neck, pushing her against the wall. Arya tried to let out a gasp of pain, but it was being blocked by her crushing airways as he tightened his grip on her.

"I can see into your mind. You think you can win? You think your band of misfits can take me down? I'll kill your brother and I'll kill your lover before they can lay a hand on me." He sneered menacingly.

Arya felt her blood boil at his words and swiftly kicked her leg out, hitting him in the shin, causing his grip on her neck to loosen. She couldn't revel in the relief of being able to breathe properly again as she immediately thrust her arms out and used her powers to crash him into the viewing window that was behind him.

The man crashed through the glass into the other room and Arya quickly followed. She ran into the room at the same time Eli and Luke had run in, having heard the commotion. She sighed in relief at seeing they were ok, wanting to run over to them. She completely forgot about the threat right in front of them.

The man saw the relief in Arya's face, he could sense the love she had for the people in front of her and he sneered viciously. He used his powers and thrust a shard of glass towards them, not focusing on his aim due to the pounding in his head from the crash.

Eli saw it happen in slow motion, the shard of glass flying towards Luke. He moved as quick as he could and pushed him out of the way, throwing his body in front of his to knock him down. He gasped as he felt a white hot pain in his abdomen and he fell to his knees.

Arya felt like collapsing, her knees buckled as she watched with wide eyes as Eli looked down at the long piece of glass embedded in his stomach in disbelief. He looked up at Arya, his watering eyes looking at her pleadingly before he blinked heavily and they fell closed as he fell to the ground, the spot of blood on his shirt growing rapidly.

She felt dizzy as tears sprung to her eyes, her throat closing up as she felt a sob threaten to escape.

Luke looked down at Eli in shock and kneeled down beside him, looking up at Arya with empathy.

Arya didn't even notice the way Luke looked at her worriedly. She turned her attention to the man who was stumbling to get back onto his feet unsteadily, rubbing at his throbbing head. She felt a wave of darkness wash over her and all she could see was red.

Kill him.

She could hear the Emperor's voice in her head and, for once, it didn't make her flinch or shiver in disgust. Instead it made the rage that was bubbling inside of her grow into a flaming heat. She twirled her hands and raised them slowly, manipulating all the shards of glass on the floor.

"Arya," Luke warned softly, noticing what she was about to do. "The Peacekeepers are coming, they're gonna arrest him, you don't need to do this."

Arya ignored him, his voice not even registering through the dark cloud in her mind. She thrust her hands out forcefully and each shard of glass found its way into his body, every inch of him cut and wounded.

He let out a wheeze as a shard of glass hit his throat, and he felt his life drain out of him in seconds.

It wasn't enough for Arya. She twirled her fingers and used her powers to throw him against the concrete wall, over and over, until the man was unrecognizable, until she could hear every crack of his bones breaking from the impact.

"Arya!" Luke screamed for the tenth time, though she continued to ignore him. He ran to her and wrapped his arms around her, stopper her from brutally beating the man any further.

She immediately collapsed into his embrace and sobbed into his chest, her hands clutching him tightly.

"Shh, It's ok, you're ok." Luke whispered, pressing a kiss to the top of her head.

Arya squirmed in his arms and looked over his shoulder. She began to cry even harder at the sight of Eli still laid out on the ground. Her breaths came out in pained sobs as she began to hyperventilate.

Luke felt tears come to his eyes as he held her, the sounds of her agonized sobs making his chest tighten. He spared a glance at Eli and squeezed his eyes shut, a few tears spilling over his cheeks. He had tried to find a pulse but his hands had been shaking too hard for him to tell if his friend were alive or not.

He tensed as loud, rushed footsteps echoed through the bunker and got closer to them. His hand moved to the blaster at his hip but he let out a sigh of relief as Dex ran into the room, his eyes widening in horror as he looked down at Eli.

"I need help over here!" He yelled loudly, making Arya flinch in Luke's arms, causing him to tighten his grip on her. Dex looked over at the man who lay across the room, bloody and beaten to a pulp. He swallowed thickly, his eyes shifting over to Luke's nervously.

Luke nodded stiffly, answering the man's silent question.

Yes, It was Arya who did that to him.

More officers made their way into the room and kneeled down beside Eli. Luke waited with bated breath as they checked him over, looking for a pulse.

"He's alive. We gotta get him into an operating room as soon as possible."

Luke felt his whole body sag in relief and he wiped at his cheeks. "You hear that?" He asked Arya who had gone limp in his arms. "He's ok, he's gonna be fine." He told her softly.

She didn't respond which worried him and he slowly got to his feet, his arms holding her up. Arya's mind was a mess of grief and darkness. She wasn't even fully registering her motions as Luke practically carried her up the stairs and out of the bunker.

The wind whipped her hair around and she looked out into the darkness, feeling nothing, she was completely numb. Leia ran towards them and immediately started crying as she saw the state Eli was in. She wrapped her arms around Arya's neck and hugged her tightly, her body shaking with her cries.

Arya was stone faced and silent as both Luke and Leia held onto her. She was completely unfazed by their tears and their words of comfort.

Kill him. Kill him. Kill him.

Palpatine's voice echoed in her head, each repetition like a knife in her chest. She thought back to her actions, killing that man so brutally. That wasn't her, she wasn't like that...right? She shook her head from her thoughts and looked down at her feet, she couldn't bear to look at the sympathy or fear on Luke and Leia's face.

She looked into Luke's mind and she could tell he was weary of what she'd done, that he was nervous about her wellbeing.

Dex approached them slowly, biting at his lip nervously. Luke looked down at Arya who still had yet to say anything and reluctantly moved his arm from around her shoulders. He nodded his head to the side, motioning for Dex to follow.

He didn't want to relay what happened in front of Arya, she didn't need to relive it. Leia took his place and wrapped Arya in her embrace. Every couple of seconds, she would sniffle and wipe at her eyes, but Arya remained unfazed, her face emotionless.

The doctor's who brought Eli onto their ship waved to them and Leia sighed.

"I'm gonna go talk to them, ok? Do you want to stay here or do you wanna come?" Leia asked, turning to face Arya.

She just shook her head, her eyes still glued to the ground. Leia sighed and nodded, pressing a kiss to her cheek in goodbye as she quickly made her way over to the doctors, leaving Arya alone.

Kill him.

Arya shivered and let out a shaky breath. "I killed him." She whispered to herself. She looked over at Luke who was talking to Dex and her chest tightened painfully. The look of shock on his face when he saw what she'd done was seared into her mind.

She would probably never forget the way he looked at her, like he was scared of her. She shuddered as she thought of the expression on his face and she felt disgusted with herself. She let out a gasping breath and she started to cry again.

Eli had gotten hurt because of her, because she wasn't fast enough. What if he doesn't make it? The thought was too hard to fathom. She began to feel dizzy and she pressed a hand to her forehead, feeling herself stumble on her own feet.

She looked at the medical ship that was parked, where doctors were pulling the stretcher up the ramp. She could see the bloody bandage that was pressed to his stomach from where she was standing and it made her stomach turn violently.

She fell to her knees, a sob leaving her throat and she began to dry heave. She breathed heavily, placing her hands on her thighs, trying to steady herself and focus on her breathing so she didn't get sick.

He couldn't die, she wouldn't be able to go on if he did, but thinking of the alternative didn't do much to comfort her either. If he did pull through, she didn't know if she could ever face him again after what she'd done. She was the reason this all started. The man was a psychopath who wanted to recreate what Vader had done to her. If she never got off the death star, people never would've heard of her, and this never would have happened.

Her and her mistakes would've died and the galaxy would've been safer for it.

She slowly stood from the sand, trying to find balance on her shaking legs. She looked over at Luke who had his back turned to her, and even though she knew it was unintentional, she couldn't help but feel like that was a metaphor for how her life was going to turn out.

She couldn't help but worry that Luke would see that she had this darkness inside of her and soon enough would realize that it wasn't worth it to stick around and try to fix her. Hell, he'd already seen her darkness just minutes ago, and before when she had fought Vader.

He would realize soon that she wasn't worth it, that he could do better than a girl as broken as her.

She swallowed thickly and looked around, making sure no one was watching her. Before she could think about it any more and change her mind, she ran as fast as she could away from her friends, away from her family.

She ran for as long as she could, she ran until the dark of night disappear and the twin suns began to rise. She ran until she was sure no one would find her.

The revisions are done so this is the first new chapter and the next chapters might take a little bit longer to upload because I'm in school and it's a lot of work, but I'll definitely try my best to update quickly. Hope you're enjoying it so far! xx
