I truly hate writing action parts in stories. I'm terrible at it and I'm so sorry. If the grammar is bad or anything, I'm sorry. I was rushing to finish this, trying to keep my promise of finishing this before I leave for vacation. I hope you enjoy and thank you for all the nice comments!
Padme stared at the unmoving body of her love. No. No. Anakin.
"You fowl nerf herder!" Padme shouted out struggling to remove her restraints. She felt the gun actually touch her now and she gritted her teeth glaring such hatred at a man she couldn't believe she used to look up to.
"Now, now those aren't words a lady let alone a pristine Senate should be saying especially to your emperor." Palpatine smirked at her.
"Your reign of power may not end today, but trust me soon the galaxy, if they haven't already, will see how vile and corrupt you are. They will revolt and your reign of power will end once and for all." Padme said with such hate.
"Don't you see? I've defeated the Jedi. I've even defeat the so called chosen one. There is no one else to stop me." Palpatine laughed at her naïve response.
"Only for the time being." She glared.
Palpatine shook his head walking closer to her. "After everything you still have so much hope, you're not as smart as I thought you were."
Padme felt both blast digging more into her. She could almost hear the clone's fingers moving to the triggers as Palpatine walked closer to her ready to finally be rid of her once and for all.
"You have caused a lot issues to my plans time and time again. I'll be happy to see you gone." He took one step closer to her before stopping and sly grin. "Lord Vader, you're alive."
Padme quickly looked over at Anakin and couldn't stop her smile or a few tears from escaping. "Ani!"
Slowly Anakin got up feeling pain in every part of his body, but was fighting through it. "You will not harm her." He fully stood up and called his lightsaber to him before igniting it.
"Oh good, I was afraid you died without us having one last duel." Palpatine turned and looked at him with a wicked smile on his face. He could feel the pain his former apprentice was in and knew this would be an easy fight.
"Oh trust me, I'm not going anywhere until you are gone for good." Anakin pointed his lightsaber at the man.
"Still so prideful, this should be fun." Palpatine laughed before lunging at Anakin.
"Did you inform the Emperor we captured the Jedi?" The one battle droid said.
"He said not to disturb him. Just to take the Jedi to the holding cell and he would deal with them." The other battle droid said roughly pushing Ahsoka forward.
She turned her head and glared at the droid hating she was in this situation.
"Watch it, Jedi. I'm not afraid to blast your head off." The droid said.
She looked around seeing most of the droids were gone. There were only a few of them surrounding them. She tried thinking of an escape plan to get them out of this situation, but without her lightsaber and the blaster to her head, she couldn't see any way out of this mess.
"Hey! Where did you come fro-" She heard a droid say before it stopped.
She saw all the droids turn around and start firing at something. Seeing her chance, she spun her leg around kicking the droid behind her. She noticed Obi-wan always seemed to take out the droid from behind him.
She turned around so Obi-wan could uncuff her cuffs and she did the same to him. They both noticed there lightsaber dropped on the floor and quickly grabbed them. They ignited them and looked around to see nothing, but sliced up droid parts on the ground.
They looked ahead and saw the last thing either of them expected to see. "Master Yoda?" They both said in unison.
"What are you doing here?" Obi-wan asked ask they shut off their lightsabers.
Yoda slowly walked over to them. "Danger I sensed you and young Skywalker in. My help you clearly needed."
"I thought you decided to cut yourself off from the force?" Obi-wan asked.
"Failed I did, but living in fear and regret I can no longer do for the time being." Yoda said.
At that moment both Yoda and Obi-wan sensed a disturbance in the force. "Anakin. He's in trouble. We need to hurry."
Quickly, Obi-wan and Ahsoka ran with Yoda following from behind. Obi-wan hoped they weren't going to be too late.
"Argh!" Anakin shouted lunging at Palpatine.
"That's right, my boy, use your anger. It makes you stronger." Palpatine laughed blocking the attack meeting his lightsaber in between.
Anakin kicked him sending him falling back. He stepped forward sending attack after attack at his old master. He felt the force and his rage running through him. He felt strong. He could feel the darkness in him creeping out.
Palpatine laughed. "No, matter how hard you try the darkness is still in you. It will never leave. You are and will always being a Sith, a dark lord, Darth Vader."
"No. You are wrong." Anakin seeing Palpatine stand up.
Palpatine walked around the boy waiting for his opening. He shot lightening at him only for Anakin to quickly block it. Obi-wan has trained him well it would seem. ".She has never seen this side of you, has she? Your dark side. It won't be long, until she angers you and you turn on her just like you do to me."
"Shut up!" Anakin lunged at him only for Palpatine to jump over him.
"Wasn't it your anger that caused your mother's death? Wasn't it your anger and pride that made you leave in a rage having your mother follow you only to be attack by the sand people?" Anakin stopped his words hitting memories he tried to forget about. "What about all the captains and commanders that angered you causing you to strangle and break their necks with a flick of a wrist."
"Anakin! Don't listen to him. You are good. You are a different person. You've change from the person you were, the person he made you out to be." Padme shouted seeing Anakin look at her with such fear and pain in his eyes.
Anakin thought of her words, all her kind words. All the times she told him he was good and he didn't believe her, only seeing the darkness in him. He thought of Obi-wan, Ahsoka, and even Yoda believing he was the chosen one after all the dark deeds he has done. They gave him the faith and strength he needed to kill Palpatine.
He watched Palpatine shoot more lightening at him and he blocked it stepping closer and closer to him. He watched the lightening fire back at Palpatine and saw smoke rising off his skin.
Suddenly, Palpatine stopped and grabbed onto the chair next to him. He felt weak. He didn't know what was happening. How did he get so powerful?
"It's over, Palpatine." Anakin pointed his lightsaber at him seeing his face got deformed from the lightening hitting him. He no longer looked like a kind older man, but a vile monster. He finally was showing his true form.
Palpatine laughed. "You can kill me, but I want you to know you caused the death of Padme and your unborn baby." He turned to Padme her eyes wide with fear with her hands still behind her back. He smirked and sent force lightening right at her.
"No!" Anakin ran to Palpatine stopping him for harming Padme. He tackled him through the glass window overlooking the city. Suddenly he felt them both free falling and Palpatine holding onto him trying to kill him still.
"Anakin!" Padme shouted as he fell out the window and glass shattered everywhere.
"Well you heard him, kill her!" Ackbarr shouted.
Padme didn't even have time to response or move before she heard the blaster go off. She shut her eyes waiting for the pain or the blackness or whatever happened when you died.
"What, what are you doing?" She heard Ackbarr shutter with such fear in his voice.
She open her eyes seeing the body of a clone lying next to her. She heard another blast and then the sound of a body falling.
She turned around and saw Ackbarr's dead body lying on the ground and above her was a clone, the very clone that not moments ago was holding a blaster to the back of her head.
The clone turned to her and stepped to her as she backed up afraid of what he was going to do. "Stop moving. I'm trying to uncuff your handcuffs." He told her.
Padme stared at him, not sure of what was going on or if this was some sort of trick. "You're, you're helping me."
"I'm trying to, milady." He kneeled down and uncuffed her.
She grabbed her wrist seeing the red marks around them. "I don't understand. Why?"
The clone looked up and sighed. "Ever since he sent out the order to kill all Jedi, nothing has felt right. It was like I was living in a haze. Even my brothers didn't seem right. During those attacks from the rebels the other day, I got in the way of an explosion and hit my head. Ever since then, things have started to make sense. I started to feel like me again. I started to see how much of a monster Palpatine truly is and what he has done to us."
"Thank you." She said softly hoping her good heart wasn't going to get her killed.
"Come on. Let's get out of here before more clones get here. I can't protect you from all of them." The Clone said.
"Wait. Anakin!" she said running to the window looking for any signs of him. No. NO.
"Padme?" She turned around and saw Obi-wan, Ahsoka, and Yoda run through the door with their lightsaber ignited. "What are you doing here?"
"Where is Anakin? Where is Palpatine?" Ahsoka looked around frantically. She saw the clone and ran to him ready to kill him.
"Wait. Stop! His chip malfunctioned he's okay." Padme said.
"Commander Cody?" Obi-wan looked at him realizing who he was.
"Sir." Cody saluted him.
"Where is Anakin?" Ahsoka asked again.
"Danger, Skywalker is in. Hurry and we might be able to save him." Yoda turning out the door as everyone followed him out.
Anakin felt the wind through his hair and he knew he did something stupid. He was freefalling down who knows how far with Palpatine gripping onto him. He hit and kicked him trying to get him off.
He looked around him and tried to grab onto anything to stop this freefall. He grabbed onto a window sill from a Senator's office and managed to stop himself from falling. He looked down and saw Palpatine was hanging onto his leg for dear life.
"Give up. It's over." Anakin yelled trying to shaking him off.
"No! No!" Palpatine ignited his lightsaber and slightly hit Anakin's hand that he was holding onto with and they both fell again.
He looked around seeing how close he was to the landing platform at the Senate building. He was close, but he needed to be closer. He pushed off with the force and managed to grab the very edge of the platform, hanging on by only a hand. He exhaled grateful for the first time ever for his mechanical hand for he didn't know if his normal hand would have the strength to hold him after everything.
He slowly lifted himself and exhaled. Everything hurt. He looked at his hand and saw a small cut from Palpatine's lightsaber, nothing bad enough to immobilize him, but enough to hurt.
Quickly he turned around and blocked an oncoming attack from Palpatine. He glared as their lightsaber's met in the middle. "Why won't you die?!"
"Soon the almighty chosen will be dead." Palpatine hissed.
"I don't think so." Anakin said back.
"Anakin!" He looked over as everyone ran out towards him.
Palpatine kicked Anakin and he fell back. Quickly, he stood up and ran towards Palpatine striking blow after blow. "You are done controlling me and lying to me. You tried turning me against everyone who cared about me and I actually believe you. No more. This ends now."
"I'm be happy to kill you, just like I almost had your love killed. Just like I had your mother killed." Palpatine said blocking an attack and almost hitting Anakin's side before he jumped out of way.
"No. You," He didn't believe it, but he saw that evil smirk and knew it was true. "Argh!" Anakin ran to him and sending multiple blows before finally seeing his mark. He smirked before stabbing his lightsaber right through Palpatine's midsection.
He watched him gasp, not believing what happened. He was defeated. He lost.
Anakin took out the lightsaber as Palpatine slowly fell backwards, falling right off the platform.
He dropped his lightsaber as he fell to his knees, feeling tired and weak.
"Anakin!" He felt her arms wrap around him before he even saw her.
Slowly he wrapped his arms around Padme breathing in her sweet scent, feeling her calm him.
"Oh Ani." She breathe softly "I thought I lost you."
"No. You aren't loosing me anytime soon, Angel." He told her.
"I guess you didn't need us after all." Obi-wan walked over to him. "The chosen one, you truly are after all."
"No. I needed you guys more than you know." Anakin smiled slightly up at him.
"Is he gone?" Ahsoka asked.
"Feel the force can't you? No longer clouded by darkness is it." Yoda said.
Anakin shut his eyes and he did feel it. He felt peace for the first time in a long time. Palpatine and all his darkness was finally gone.
