Once And For All
Rhen Var
After years of hunting Desric down, Aaron and Grace had seen enough of Desrci's actions. Ever since this started, Desric has murdered both of their families, filled their heads with lies, tortured them, turned them into merciless killers, and destroy practically everything they have come to know and love. Today, the two would now have their chance at vengeance. With no one to hold back their rage and hate, both Aaron and Grace would have their revenge and avenge the friends and families they lost. Today, it would all end.
After Derric's voice was silenced forever, when Desric used all his strength to snap his neck in two, Aaron and Grace felt as if Desric reached in their hearts and ripped it out before they watched this monster hold Derric's lifeless body as if it were a trophy. "This is the beginning of the end!"
The two remaining friends watched Desric drop Derric's lifeless body off the edge of the bridge, before Aaron and Grace dove near the edge to catch the body from falling down to the floor of the castle. As they pulled Derric's body onto the bridge, they looked down and saw Derric's eyes still open. Looking into his lifeless eyes, Aaron and Grace gently closed his eyes before they looked up and saw Desric starring down at them. After watching Desric murder their friend, their brother, right in front of them, Aaron and Grace felt a rage within them that was unleashed. A fire within their hearts ignited and the two ran into the tower to meet Desric on the bridge that connected above them.
As they ran up the tower to meet up with Desric at the connecting bridge, both Aaron and Grace were furious with anger and hate. Watching Desric murder there closest friend, a friend who stood by them throughout this war, was the final straw.
After running through the tower for just a few minutes, Grace and Aaron reach the top of the tower where they soon came across the bridge that Desric was standing across from. With small snowflakes falling down, the two friends look ahead of them and see small drops of blood on the snow beneath Desric. The tension between them was silence. "Here we are, at last."
"This ends today Desric." Grace said.
"Well then…come and get me." Desric said, taunting the two of them to be the first to attack. Not a moment too soon, both Grace and Aaron run toward Desric at full speed. As Aaron ran over in front of Desric, Grace ran quickly behind Aaron before she ran across his back to jump toward Desric with her sword while Aaron pulled out his iron sword. With both former assassins coming at him, Desric unsheathed his sword before deflecting both strikes from Aaron and Grace.
With the two friends attack Desric at full force, with no one holding their anger and hate back, Desric is able to hold his ground against these two. Despite being outnumbered he surely was not outmatched. Besides, it was Desric himself who trained Aaron and Grace, which meant he knew which buttons to push in order for them to lose their focus. Murdering their closest friend, meant that the two friends would unleash their full hate, but it would also make them sloppy and predictable in terms of fighting.
While Aaron and Grace continued their battle with Desric, the Grand Master of the assassins was able to predict every move from the two. If Aaron made a strike for his leg, Desirc would block the attack before ducking his head as Grace would slice her blade above his shaven head. Desric would then kick Grace in the gut before she would fall on the snow and slide across the bridge.
As Grace lied on the snow, Desric slams his fist across Aaron's face before he soon turns his attention over to Grace and runs over to her, he then slides across the snow before grabbing Grace my the throat while he raised his sword. However Aaron is able to recover from the punch and suddenly watches Grace getting choked. He makes a run over to her and watches Desric raise his sword. Before Desirc could slash his sword through Grace's neck, Aaron is able to reach them in time before he brings his sword down onto Desric. But the master of the assassin is able to block the attack before rolling over with Grace on top of him. In an instant Desric uses his strength to kick Grace off and into the air before hitting Aaron and knocking them both onto the floor.
Recovering from that recent attack, Aaron and Grace begin to get off the floor while they watch Desric standing across them pacing back and fourth, like a hungry predator stalking its prey. The two give each other a look of concern for one another. They had just finished their first round with Desric, and he was able to outsmart them and easily take them on at the same time. They knew that if they were going to beat Desirc they would have to be smart about this. The two stood beside each other and soon look at Desric. This was final fight was just getting started.
In the midst of this battle, Ahsoka and the rest of her friends were fighting the last of the assassins. With Saw and Rex taking care of the skies, the flying drones were easily shot down by the two soldiers. While Rex used a rocket launcher to take out multiple Deathwatch drones, Saw was using his sniper to shoot them out of the sky. Saw was also able to protect most of his friends down below with his sniper. As he looked down at the battle below, he watched several assassins run for cover while some fled the battle and tried to escape through the destroyed gate. But their attempts to flee from the battle were useless as Saw was able to shoot them in the back before watching them fall on the snow dead. If this was going to be their final battle together, he wanted to make sure that NO assassin was going to escape.
During the final moments of the battle, Marcus soon set his droids on auto pilot and free roam, allowing him to take part in this battle to help some of his friends while his droids were finishing off the remaining assassins that were scattered across the castle. He soon pulls out a shotgun and saw his friend Lux pinned behind a small wall while two assassins were firing their blasters at him. Marcus runs over to his friend and throws a grenade over to the assassins. "Lux!"
Lux turns his head and watches Marcus throw a grenade over to the assassins before the two jumped out of their cover to avoid the blast. This gave him the perfect opportunity to fire at both assassins. Pulling his rifle around the corner, Lux aims at the two assassins before shooting them both dead as the explosion flung their bodies into the air.
Lux soon looks at Marcus, relieved. "Thanks Marcus."
The Twi'lek nods in response before the two were ambushed by a single assassin. The assassin jumps behind a nearby statue and lands in between the two before kicking Lux to the ground before swatting Marcus' blaster out of his hands. The assassin pulls out a small knife and tries to cut Marcus' green skin before he was able to kick him across the jaw and suddenly gets one good slash on Marcus' left arm. The Twi'lek soon feels a sharp pain in his arm before he was kicked down by the assassin as he was soon fighting for his life while the assassin jumped on top of him to try to thrust his knife into Marcus.
As Marcus struggled to get the assassin off of him, Lux is able to recover from the attack and soon gets his vision back, only to see an assassin on top of Marcus. Knowing that he was outmatched, Lux quickly grabs his rifle and lines up the sight on the assassin. Not wasting another minute, Lux pulls the trigger before the bullet flies through the top of the assassin's head, killing him instantly.
With the assassin dead, Lux walks over to his friend and picks him up off the snow. He soon noticed a cut on Marcus' left arm. "You okay Marcus."
The large Twi'lek soon looks at the cut on his harm. "It's just a small cut."
Relieved that his friend was okay, the two gsther their weapons and run over to help the rest of their friends.
While Aaron and Grace fought Desric, Ahsoka was standing beside Kai while the two were fending off the last of the assassins. Although the assassins were dwindling in numbers, it did not mean that Ahsoka's friends were not suffering any losses as well. Throughout the battle, Ahsoka and her friends fought the assassins with all their heart, but while the battle was finally coming to a close, Ahsoka noticed that not everyone was able to last this long. After Barriss and Ventress gave their lives to protect their friends, several Jedi were outmatched by these assassins.
Both Ahsoka and Kai watched their fellow Jedi fall from these ruthless killers. The two could see several Jedi lie on the snow dead with either bullet holes across their body, or several stab wounds that caused them to turn the white snow beneath their bodies to turn red.
As the two fought side by side, Ahsoka was able to hold her ground against these assassins. While she was able to block several bullets flying at her, she soon lunges over to two assassins before flipping over them while she spun her body with her ignited lightsabers. She lands behind the two assassins and watched their heads roll off their bodies before they fell to the ground. She looks over and sees her friend Kai fend off a single assassin.
While Kai was able to block the shots being fired at him, he soon uses the force to push the assassin against the wall before slashing the assassin across the chest. With the assassins taken care of in this part of the castle. There were still a small amount left that were still battling a few remaining Jedi and several of Marcus' attack droids.
The two soon deactivated their blades and suddenly saw Marcus and Lux come around the corner. Relieved to see two of her friends alive, she runs over to them and gives them a small hug. "I'm so glad you both made it."
"We have good news Ahsoka." Lux said before he looked over at Marcus.
"My droids have given me a small estimation that in under an hour, this battle will finally be over." Marcus said which brought joy to the four friends.
"That's good to hear." Kai said.
"We may actually make it through this." Ahsoka said before she turned around and looked up the tower. She soon looks back at her friends before he held her lightsabers tight. "Guys I'm gonna go find Aaron, he may need my help."
"Go Ahsoka." Lux said while he placed his hand on her shoulder and gave her a nod.
"Don't worry about us, we'll take care of things down here." Marcus added before kai nodded his head in front of her.
"Thanks guys." Ahsoka said before she turned around and ran toward the entrance to the castle. Hang on Aaron, I'm coming. She thought to herself. She knew all too well what Aaron going up against. She remembered how ruthless and how coordinated Desric was and she knew that if Aaron was going to make sure that he stayed dead this time, he was going to need all the help he could get.
However, as the battle was finally coming to an end, Aaron's fight with Desric was far from over. After allowing Desric to get the best of him for far too long, Aaron made sure that if he was going to kill Desric, he was going to have to be quick and careful. But after fighting Desric for quiet some time, they began to grow tired, while Desric was just warming up. With their clothes torn and their bodies bruised from several punches and kicks, the two were not ready to throw in the towel.
The two run forward towards Desric, before Aaron slashes his iron sword over to Desric, attempting to decapitate him. But the assassin is able to deflect the attack before moving a step aside when Grace suddenly thrusts her blade behind him. Aaron quickly reacts when he sees Grace miss her attack and is suddenly coming at him with the blade.
Aaron moves Grace to that side before he slashes again at Desric from the side. The Grand Master is able to block the attack before slamming his fist alongside Aaron's jaw, knocking him aside. When Grace watched Aaron get knocked across the face she tries to sweep Desric's legs. But as she swept her feet across the snow to try to knock desric on the ground, the assassin is able to jump off the ground before twirling to kick Grace along the side of her head.
The young girl slides across the snow before falling off the edge of the bridge, but with just enough time to grab hold of the edge. Aaron runs over to her aid. "Grace!"
As Aaron ran to his friend's aid, she looks over to Desric. "Aaron watch out!"
Before Aaron could do anything, Desric is able to grab hold of Aaron's throat before he uses his strength to lift the young man up to slam him againsta nearby rock. With both friends on the edge of defeat, Desric takes a few steps away from them to let them both recuperate. "I must say guys, I'm a little disappointed. I expected a better fight from both of you. Seeing as how you have already lost this war."
Aaron manages to get over to Grace to help her climb up away from the edge of the bridge. The two look over to Desric as he was already celebrating his victory too early. "It's not over yet. Not while there's still hope." Aaron said.
"Hope." Desric said. "Hope is nothing but a foolish belief in an outcome that may or may not happen. If you want to make a difference, you have to do things yourself. So I decided to help shape a new galaxy. One that will keep order and will dictate true justice."
"By what means?" Grace said. "Killing innocents?!"
Grace had heard enough and lunges over to Desric before Aaron rushes over as well. As the two rushed over to Desric, Aaron attempts to slash his sword above Desric's head while Grace thrusted her knife toward Desric's ribs. But as the two simultaneously attacked him, Desric was able to disarm the two with ease. He first takes care of Aaron, by crushing his wrist, forcing Aaron to drop the sword before swatting Grace's knife away from the two.
With both Aaron and Grace disarmed, the three were forced to attack one another with their fists. Aaron is the first to attack and throws several punches towards Desric's face and ribs. But with every punch Aaron threw, only a few were able to land a hit on Desric. The rest of Aaron's punches were rendered useless when Desric was able to block most of them before he swatted a right hook cross away from him and soon gave a closed fist to the Aaron's face.
When Aaron was knocked to the ground, Grace jumps in and throws several punches to Desric. Just like Aaron, Desric was able to block most of the attacks. But Graces tries something new. She tries to kick Desric along the side of his head with a left roundhouse kick. But Desric sees this move coming from a mile away and grabs hold of Grace's oncoming left leg. Shocked and confused, Grace Watched as Desric activated his serum and used his strength to lift her off the ground to slam her into a nearby stone wall.
After watching Grace get thrown, Aaron rushes over to Desric and lands a punch alongside the back Desric's head before he tries to throw a quick jab to Desirc. But the assassin ducks benath the punch before giving Aaron a roundhouse kick to the chest, knocking him to the ground.
Desric watches the two struggle to get up, but soon enough the two try to help each other out.
"Incredible. Just, incredible." Desric said. "Even in defeat, the two of you are still willing to get back up."
"That's the thing you underestimated." Aaron said while he heald his ribs and struggled to stand up on the snow while Grace did the same. "We never give up, no matter the odds."
"Even if you defeat me, The Empire will still begin its reign across the galaxy." Desric said before he clenched his fists.
"It doesn't matter…" Grace said. "The only person we want dead, is you."
"Well then…" Desric said with a smirk on his face. "I think it's time we end this once and for all."
Desric suddenly injects himself with his glowing yellow serum before rushing over to the two friends. He throws a left hook punch over to Aaron and watches him fall to the ground almost unconscious, Grace tries to throw a punch to him but when she does, Desric brushes the punch to the side before he sonn kicks Grace against the wall.
Aaron then looks over to Aaron and grabs him with both hands as he suddenly had the strength to lift Aaron's whole body. Desric then throws Aaron towards the opposite side of the bridge before Grace watches Aaron's body slam near the tower they came from. With Aaron temporarily out of the fight, Desric focuses on Grace.
Grace looks over to Aaron's motionless body and suddenly, her hate and anger grows within her as she soon begins to attack Desric with all her might. She starts by throwgin several quick punches to Desric before giving a round house kick to Desric. Although the assassin was able to block most of Grace's attacks, what happened after the roundhouse kick, surprised him. Once Grace threw her kick, she was able to grab some snow off the ground in order to throw it up in Desric's face. For once, Desric was caught off guard and Grace was able to throw a couple of punches to his face before kicking him across the snow.
As she watched Desric fall onto the floor, she rushes over to her knife and Aaron's sword. Once Desric was getting up off the ground, he looks over and sees Grace throw her knife directly at him. Using his quick reflexes Desric avoids the knife and suddenly sees Grace whip out Aaron's sword. With no weapon to defend himself, Desric gets in close to block most of Grace's swings with his forearms.
During the chaotic fight, Aaron's vision begins to come back as he suddenly began to see blurry visions of Grace and Desric fighting one another. Trying to regain his sight and vision, he struggles to move towards the two before a small bottle of blue serum falls out of his pocket. It was the same one Derric found before the fighting began. This is what made Desric strong.
While Grace and Desric fought, the two were right infront of each other with Grace unleashing her full wrath while Desric played defense and blocked while also avoiding several of her strikes. However, things suddenly changed when Grace kneed Desric in the gut and watched him stumble back before trying to decapitate him with one single swing.
Desric ducks beneath the swing and grabs hold of Grace's wrist, crushing it with all his strength, Grace screams in pain when she felt Desric squeeze her hand until she surely dropped Aaron's sword. But as the sword fell, Desric releases Grace from his grip and reaches for the sword. Aaron watches this from a far and tries to get up but when he stood on one foot, he quickly fell on both knees when he saw the sword fall right into Desric's hand.
"GRACE!" Aaron yelled out.
Grace reaches down her for knife and is about to thrust it until she suddenly stops with her mouth and eyes wide open. Below, was Desric holding Aaron's sword and it was deeply thrusted within her belly. Desric twists the blade and watches Grace drop her knife before giving a soundless cry. Tears formed in her eyes but the pain was too much for her to even let out a simply cry. She uses whatever strength she had left, to pull the sword out of her belly. Desric knew that death was closing in on her and wanted her to witness these final moments with him staring up at her with an evil smirk on his face.
She looks over to Aaron, who is shocked as to what had just happened right in front of him. Her mouth couldn't say anything but her eyes were speaking to Aaron. Goodbye, brother. They said as Grace fell back on the white snow before it began to turn red. Desric soon gets up on his feet and looks at Grace's lifeless body with the sword in her hand. "And now…only one remains."
Aaron's anger was stirring within and he could not contain it anymore. While Desric looked over at Grace's lifeless body, Aaron reaches for the blue serum and rips off his torn sleeve, revealing the veins in his wrist.
While Desric examined the body, he reaches down to grab the sword he used to kill her, but once he reached for the blade, a small empty glass bottle hits him. To his surprise, the label on the bottle was marked with the insignia of the assassins. This came from the lab beneath the castle. Suddenly a loud roar could be heard from behind him and as he turned around he saw Aaron charging at him at full speed. But what made this worse was that his eyes, his veins, were glowing blue. Aaron had taken the serum and now he had the strength and rage to kill him. "AHHHHHHHH!"
As Desric reacts to this shocking discovery, Aaron jumps over to him before slamming his fist donw on Desric's face. After so long, Aaron was able to land a punch to knock Desric down on the ground, but before Desric could recover from the blow, Aaron grabs Desric and looks at this man with all the hate within his eyes. Using his newfound strength, Aaron throws Desric across the bridge and watches him fly into the stone tower. Desric's body is thrown so hard, that the force of the throw is enough for him to fly through the stone wall.
Recovering from the attack, Desric watches Aaron run towards him like a wild animal and jumps through the hole he created. But as Aaron jumped through the hole, Desric uses his feet to push Aaron away from him before watching him land on the stairs in front of him. While Aaron got up from that throw, Desric is the first to recover and soon goes after Aaron. With no weapon on them, the two men began to use their fists to try to bet the life out of one another. Aaron takes a few punches from Desric, but thanks to the serum, he felt no pain and is able to block one of Desric's punches and soon kicks him off, giving him some time to get up.
Once Aaron was able to get up, Desirc rushes over to him, but as she ran up the stairs to get to him, Aaron grabs hold of Desric and slams his body against the wall before Aaron began to slam his fists against Desric's face and ribs as well. Like two apex predators fighting for dominance, the two assassins slam their fist at one another as they quickly made their way up the small tower that overlooked the castle.
While Aaron fought with all the anger and hate within him, Ahsoka is scene running through the front door of the castle. As she enters the castle, she sees three assassins run going around the corner to either flee or to either die fighting outside. Once they ran into Ahsoka, the three took out their blasters. Ahsoka ignites her lightsabers and charges the three assassins.
But before she could reach them, the assassins, were suddenly ambushed by Katooni, Ganodi, and Gungi. Ahsoka watched as the three younglings attacked the assassins from behind. Ganodi first jumps behind one of the three, by jumping behind one of them and igniting her green lightsaber into the back of an assassin that was carrying a rifle. Gungi, lets out a small roar before he charges behind a second assassin and tackles him to the ground. The little wookie beats the assassin to a pulp before Katooni jumps behind the final assassin and swiftly cuts the head off this serial killer.
Ahsoka was in shock when she watched her three little younglings kill these three assassins. "Katooni! What are you three doing here?! We thought we told you to stay in the room?!"
"Ahsoka we came to help you!" Katooni said while Ganodi nodded and Gungi roared.
"Kids this is not a game!" Ahsoka protested. "These people will not hesitate to kill you!"
"Ahsoka when our home was under attack, we hid and we watched everyone we knew get killed." Katooni said. "We are not going to hide while you and your friends risk your lives."
Seeing that she had no other choice, and that she was in a rush to get to Aaron, Ahsoka was a bit frustrated but was given no option but to let these kids come with her. "Alright. But I want you to stay with me at all times!"
Not wasting any other moment, Ahsoka and the three younglings quickly run through the castle to reach Aaron. She knew what Aaron was facing up against, and she knew that he needed her help. But with the younglings now following her, she knew that even though she loved Aaron with her heart, her first priority was to protect the children at all cost. But Ahsoka knew that there were still some assassins left in this castle. Perhaps with the help of these younglings, she would be able to finish off the last of these monsters.
While Ahsoka and the younglings ran through narrow hallways and up several stairs, they searched for Aaron. But as the searched throughout the castle, the four of them would from time to time run into several assassins. If they ran into one or two assassins, Ahsoka would gladly take care of them.
The Togruta would take out her two lightsabers and would ignite their green blades before deflecting several blaster bolts that were friend from their rifles befire she cut both blasters in half, disarming the two assassins. Ahsoka would then rush toward them both by cutting one in half while thrusting her saber into the other. The younglings would watch their friend handle these trained warriors and would finish the fight with ease.
But as they searched the castle, the small group came across four assassins that were making their way down to the battle. Using the force, Ahsoka pushes the group up against a stonewall before the three younglings rush the assassins head on.
Gungi roars at the top of his lungs and cuts a blaster in half before kicking an assassin out a nearby window. The young wookie watched this assassin fly through glass before letting out a blood curdling scream as he fell to his doom. But while Gungi looked out the window, a single assassin was recovering from the attack and was aiming at the youngling.
But before he could pull the trigger, the assassin felt something pull his gun away before he turned around and saw Ganodi pull the blaster away from him before Katooni lunged forward toward him and thrusted her lightsaber into his chest. With two assassins dead, only two remained.
The three younglings watched Ahsoka take on two assassins at once, as she deactivated her lightsabers to fight these two killers in hand to hand combat. As she used her fists to land several punches to both their heads, she kicks one of them against a wall before one of the assassins pulled out her blaster. Ahsoka jumps towards the second assassin and throws his body in front of her and uses it as a shield before the female assassin accidentally shot and killed her friend. But after she killed her firend, she suddenly held the trigger tight and began to fire every single round toward the meat shield Ahsoka was hiding behind, hoping to kill the Togruta.
But once the assasson ran out of bullets, Ahsoka throws away her shield and places her lightsaber beneath the assassins belly just before Ahsoka activated the saber. The girl gasps for air as she felt the saber go through her and then suddenly come out when Ahsoka retracted the blade. With all assassins dead, Ahsoka looks at the children and looks at them with a stern but determined look.
"Come on." She said before the four soon ran through a hallway and ran through the castle. Hopefully they would be able to reach Aaron in time.
But while Ahsoka searched through the castle, Aaron and Desric continued their fight with one another. After throwing Desric into a small tower, Aaorn and the Grand Master of Assassins, fought up the stairs, while slamming each other against stone walls, before they reached the top of the tower, which was the highest peek of the castle. From their perspective they witnessed the battle coming to an end when they saw Desric's assassins dying one by one by each of Aaron's friends and allies. But none of that mattered.
After so many years of pain and tragedy, the two were fighting to their last breath. With every punch Aaron through at Desric's jaw and ribs, Aaron remembered all the pain Desric put him through since the day they met on Saleucami. After Desric slaughtered his entire village and murdered his family, Aaron was then tortured by this mad man. Desric had both given him scars on his skin as well as his mind when he made him turn against each of his friends on Coruscant. Now, Desric had finally taken away the two people who knew the pain he had gone through. This time, he would make sure Desric would stay dead.
Desric on the other hand, had a different reason for killing Aaron. Ever since his father trained him to become an elite assassin, each person Desric has killed, has stayed dead. After suffering a loss on Naboo, Desric wanted nothing but revenge on Aaron and his friends. When he was able to manipulate the events that unfolded on Coruscant, he was sure that he had broken the trust between this small band of friends. When Desric believed he had killed Aaron in deep space, he was filled with joy when he defeated his sworn enemy.
However, once Desric learned that Aaorn survived, that he out-bested him once more, the assassin's anger took over and was now more then ever to kill Aaron with his one two hands.
With the serum taking its tole on both men, Aaron and Desric's anger were unleashed at full rage. Like rival animals, the two attacked each other vicious and savagely. As they fought at the top of the tower, Aaron locked Desric's right arm in a deadly hold before he began to slam his fist into his enemy's face. In order to free himself from the grip, Desric dislocates his shoulder and is able to slip out of Aaron's grip. The assassin uses his boot to kick Aaron in the gut and watches him fall to the ground as he quickly used his strength to put his right arm back in its socket.
Once Desric had both arms ready, he jumps onto Aaron and pins him on the ground as he begins to slam his fist at Aaron's face. Although Aaron is able to protect his face, Desric begins to slam his closed fists into his ribs, causing some small amount of pain on Aaron. Angered nad felt that he had enough, Aaron uses his legs to kick Desric forward and force him off the tower, causing him to fall two stories onto the bridge where he murdered Derric and Grace.
Aaron runs toward the edge of the tower and looks down below as he sees Desric struggle to get back up. Fueled by anger and rage, Aaron runs over to the edge and jumps down towards Desric. But as Aaron came down from above, Desric is able to roll away before he runs over to reach for Aaron's sword that was in Grace's cold hands. Aaron sees this and reaches for Desric's legs and tries to pull him away from the body. But while Aaron pulled him, Desric freed one of his legs and began to kick Aaron in the face while he reached out.
Suddenly Aaron noticed that Desric stopped kicking before he looked up and saw his enemy flip over and kick him in the face while he held Grace's knife. Now that Desric had a weapon, the tables were in his favor. But with the serum still flowing through his veins, Aaron charged at full speEd over at Desric before the assassin began to slash the knife. Although Aaron was able to dodge some swings, Desric was still able to land some cuts on Aaron.
As Aaron felt the knife cut through his skin, he soon began to feel sharp pains coming from every part of his upper body before he noticed that Desric landed more then a few cuts on Aaron.
Bleeding and running out of breath, Aaron was beginning to feel week. Desric ceases this opportunity and lungs over to Aaron. I wasn't long until the two locked arms with one another. "You're serum is wearing off…and its taking its toll…" Desric said as he laughed at sooner then later Aaron will not have the strength left to finish this fight.
Aaron realized that what Desric said was true. He was running out of time and he ahd to think fast. He looks to the side and sees the second bridge beneath them where Derric's body was lying. But as he looked down at the bridge, he began to hear several footsteps running in their direction, fearing that more assassins were on the way, Aaron looks into the eyes of Desric. "You once told me that there was one way this whole things ends. With one of standing over the other. I say this ends, with both of us…together!"
Surprising Desric, Aaron grabs hold of his enemy and throws the two of them both off the edge of the bridge before they fell down two stories and successfully landed on the second bridge.
But as they landed on the bridge the two of them could hear large cracking noises coming from their bodies. The two of them have pushed their bodies to the limit and were now on the near brink of Death. Dazed and confused, Aaron looks around and sees Desric struggling to get up as well until Aaron lookes past him and sees Grace's knife lying in front of him. He rushes over and reaches for the knife before he suddenly feels an incredible sharp amount of pain when he looks down and sees Desric stabbing a large spike into his leg. "AHHHHHH!" No serum could hold back the pain he went through and his cream could be heard from within the castle.
As Ahsoka searched for her husband, she suddenly heard a loud scream coming from outside and rushes over to a nearby bridge, only to see Grace's body lie in the middle of a pool of blood. "Grace!" she rushed over to her friend but already knew that she was gone. The younglings rush over and see Ahsoka cry over her friend before the four of them suddenly heard fighting still going on.
The two saw Aaron and Desric fight for the last time as the two men slammed each other to a nearby wall. Ahsoka and the younglings run down the stone tower, but with all the fighting that had happened, the passage was blocked.
Aaron watched as Desric dragged his boddy through the snow before picking him up , only to beat the life out of him. But Aaron is able to head butt Desric and uses this moment to take out the spike in his leg before rushing Desric to the ground.
Using all the strength he had left, Aaron begins to beat Desric to a pulp while also reaching for Grace's knife, but once he had the knife, Aaron uses all his strength to force it down onto Desric. But while Desric struggled to hold the blade in place he reaches over and sees the rusty spike he used to stab through Aaron. Seeing that their time was running out, Ahsoka and the younglings began to dig through the rbble as fast as they could to reach Ahsoka's husband.
But while the two men struggled, Aaron noticed that his wife and the children would be in more danger if he died. But as he finished that thought, he screams and roars in pain. "AHHHHHHH!"
"AARON!" Ahsoka yelled.
Aaron looks down and sees that Desric was able to reach the spike and stabbed it right through Aaron's gut. As he felt the blood fall onto Desric, Aaron looked at Ahsoka, who was looking at him through a window. I'm sorry.
Using all the strength he had left in this world, Aaron thrusts the blade into Desric's collar bone. Aaron watched as his sworn enemy opned his eyes wide and was gasping for air as he felt the knife cut deep into his throat. But while Desric had only a few moments left, he is able to twist the spike in Aaron's gut before forcing it deeper, creating a fatal wound. But while Aaron bared through the pain and struggled to hold the knife in place he realized that the struggling hade faded away. Aaron opened his eyes and saw Desric's eyes wide open before feeling his hand fall to the ground. After so many years, Aaorn had finally killed Desric, but it came with a cost.
After Aaron realized that Desric was killed he releases the knife and falls back onto a large rock until Ahsoka and the younglings were able to get through the rock and rubble. Ahsoka runs over to Aaron's aid and noticed Desric's lifeless body was lying across Aaron's bleeding body, and Derric's cold dead body.
Once Aaron saw Ahsoka rushing over to him, his vision was beginning to grow dim, aming it hard for him to understand what was happening. But as he looked into Ahsoka's eyes, his vision and hearing started to become clear. "Aaron!"
"Ah…Ahsoka…" Aaron said which suddenly brought a smile to his face. He tried to move but the pain coming from the spike in his belly made it extremely painful for him to move an inch.
As Aaron grunted in pain, Ahsoka placed her hand on his shoulder. "Try not to move Aaron, we're gonna get you help."
Aaron knew all to well that he was beyond saving. His time in this world was coming to an end. She shakes his head at his wife with a tear going down his eye. "Ahsoka…it's too late…"
Fearing the worst, Ahsoka felt a great amount of sorrow grow in her. She gets close and cradles Aaron's head. "No, don't say that Aaron…I won't leave you…not this time…"
"I'm sorry…Ahsoka….but it looks like…it's my time to leave you…" Aaron said as he struggled to finish his sentence while he looked up into Ashoka's beautiful eyes.
"No…" Ahsoka said as she tried to hold back the tears in her eyes. But her efforts proved nothing when her friends saw her crying above Aaron.
"Ahsoka…it's okay…it's okay…" Aaron said, still struggling to stay as long as possible with his wife. "You have to leave…now…"
"No…" Ahsoka respnoded
"You have to…" Aaron said "The Empire…is coming…and they're not gonna stop…you need to run…take the kids, and run…."
Ahsoka could not hold back the tears as she cradled Aaron in her war arms. She could feel the heat from Aaron slip away. She then hears Aaron speak one last thing
"Ahsoka…" Aaron said. "Don't…let this world…change you…no matter how ugly it gets…don't let it change you…"
"Aaron no…" Ahsoka said while tears flowed down her face.
"I love you…Ahsoka…I'll…I'll always…be with…" Before Aaron could finish his final words, his life had finally slipped away.
The three younglings walk behind Ahsoka as she cried over he fallen husband. "Aaron…"
Each of the children cried for Aaron and his two friends, for it was them that inspired everyone they knew to do the right thing, even when there was no hope left in this world. For the younglings, they saw a hero whose story had come to a poetic ending when they saw the spike coming out of his gut but was being cradled by the girl who loved him more than ever.
As Ahsoka cried over Aaron's body, she noticed that his eyes were finally closed before she heard several comlinks on Aaorn, Grace, and Derric's bodies began to cheer as each of their friends were able to finish off the last of the assassins.
Even though Ahsoka's friend finally won the battle, and the assassins were finally gone forever, their victory happened with a great sacrifice. In spite of what happened, it would not have been a true victory, if Aaron, Grace, and Derric made sure that this galaxy was freed from a monster, even if it meant by sacrificing their own lives. The three younglings watched Ahsoka give Aaron a kiss on his forehead while she mourned for the loss of her true love.
Alright everyone, that is it for this chapter. How many of you were expecting this to happen? After giving it some thought and going through many drafts of how this was going ti end, this final act of justice seemed fighting to say goodbye to three beloved characters.
It all started with Grace. It broke my heart watching her go, knowing that she first started off as an orphaned girl, who lost her parents, who became an agent of evil, but soon redeemed herself in helping the ones closest to her. She was one of my greatest creations and we will all miss her.
Not only did we have to say goodbye to Grace, but we also had to say goodbye to a villain who lasted this long in the trilogy. When we first saw Desric we saw him as only a ruthless assassin. But over time, we watched him rise to power before letting his pride and power driven mind lead him to his downfall. Desric was the best villain I have created and we will miss him.
Now, it was time to say goodby to our star, Aaron Carter. When we first saw Aaron, he was a young who had everything, a home and a family. But after Desric meddled with his life, Aaron lost it all and became an assassin. From the moment we first met him we saw the farmer become an assassin. We watched the assassin become a traitor, the traitor soon became a prisoner, the prisoner then became a warrior, and the warrior defeated an army. Although we had to say our goodbyes to this character, one thing is for sure though, he is now reunited with his family. All of his Family
With Aaron's journey finally over, more is still to come when we have only two more chapters left and two weeks until The Last Jedi comes out. What will happen, I do not know but I want to take this time in asking you a question on which song will play in the final chapter.
Remeber that poll I told you guys back in September? As it turns out, that poll, that asked about which song sounded better to write an essay about, was really a poll determining on which song will close this story. If you are new to this story and are just finding out, the poll is set up in my front page. All you have to do is pick which song should end this trilogy, We got...
