Amari awoke at midnight, she stared up at the ceiling before she gazed out of the window and stared at the bright stars. Moonlight filtered through the window and hit the pillow above Anakin's head making it seem a halo. She then stared at him. He looked perfect, angelic and beautiful in every way. She watched him sleep for quite a while before her sense of duty over whelmed her and she slipped out of his arms and onto the floor silently. She watched as he groped where she once laid and groaned in his sleep. He was mesmerizing his appearance betrayed his actual mind and chaotic thoughts that she knew he had. She shook her head and left the room with out so much as a sound.
She walked down the open darkened hall near to silently mindful of her every action. She opened the door to her room only long enough to grab her bag and leave. She then tip toed down the hall and used the force to keep Anakin lulled in sleep. Her mind was on edge, she wasn't entirely sure that she should be doing what she was. Her mind however was completely made up by the time she finished scribbling the last minute note to Anakin on a piece of paper and laying it beside him in bed. She then slipped into the night and left him without a sound.

She arrived on Endor 48 hours after her departure. She stood at the rendezvous point and looked around. The dense forest about her made her uneasy. The camp was deserted, no sign of a struggle it was simply deserted. However there were tell tale signs that it hadn't been long since the Jedi had left and so she turned to her R2 unit that sat in her Nubian fighter.
"R2 scan for Jedi life signs" She spoke as she looked around. An old temple stuck out the tops of the trees. After a while the R2 unit started to beep furiously. They were all in the temple. She sighed and started towards it.
After a long walk through the forest she stood at the base of the temple. There seemed to be no entrance only a simple alter with a bowl on it. She walked over towards it and instantly a lift started and she was startled for a moment. It went up forever. It went above the treetops.
The lift stopped out side of a long dark corridor. Amari peered down it, inside sounds of dripping water and fighting could be heard. She instantly ran forward and stopped when she reached a sharp drop. Below Obi-wan was fighting a figure cloaked in all black. Amari pulled her hood down and jumped. Battle druids were all over the place and Lamari stood above and watched as the carnage went on below.
'Catch me if you can' floated through Amari's mind as Lamari disappeared from her perch above. She ignored it and walked over to Obi-wan's side. Instantly the druids and darkly cloaked figures disappeared,
"Master Kenobi⦠are you alright?" Amari asked as she walked over to him. He nodded and looked at her.
"Mistress Amari, we have been fighting for a while now, since this morning I think, they came from the hall up there," Obi-wan spoke as he pointed to the area where Lamari was standing.
"What is there left to do?" Amari asked as she looked around.
"In all truth everything Mistress Amari, we were sent here to destroy the plans for the battle station and destroy what part they had already started to build" Obi-wan said as the others fanned out about the corridor and started their search.
"They left because Lamari left, She's luring me somewhere" Amari spoke as she looked around. A symbol on one of the marble slabs caught her eye. It was the symbol for the republic.
"Mistress Amari, that is exactly why Master Yoda and Master Windu felt it best for you and Anakin to be on Naboo"
"I am not so sure I wholly disagree any more"
"Where is Anakin?"
"He is to go back to Coruscant, to the temple, where Yoda can watch him" She spoke evenly as the started advancing towards the corridors. Obi-wan laughed.
"Anakin never does as he is told Mistress Amari, you will be lucky if he goes to Coruscant at all" Amari shook her head.
"No, he is there I can assure you" Amari looked up and standing on the platform above her was Lamari. She took a deep breath as her sister looked down at her and smiled.
"I refuse to fight you, now" Lamari spoke as she looked down. Amari motioned for Obi-wan to go. As Obi-wan walked away weary of Lamari's actions she hopped down from the platform and looked dead into Amari's eyes. There was a tension in the air that was as thick as death. Amari took a deep breath.
"Surrender, we will show you where the laser is if you surrender" Lamari spoke as she shook her head. She pulled out her light saber and looked at her sister. Amari shook her head.
"I refuse" She spoke as she held out her hand. Her light saber left her belt and flew into her hand.
"All your little Jedi friends are running into a trap, it will be the end of the order, I know your precious code will blame you if it happens, and after they are gone I will come after your precious little Anakin too" There was a silence. the air was filled with silence and Amari took a step back and took attack stance.
"I will not go without a fight" She said as she looked around and smiled.
"Do not be so cocky sister, The dark side has made me stronger than you could have ever thought possible" Lamari spoke with a smile as she took a step forward.
"The dark side of the force houses nothing but disappointment, I prayed that you could find this out on your own but it is obvious that you, you need to be taught"
"Then teach me" Lamari spat as she swung her light saber down it was instantly caught by Amari's they crackled against each other.
"With relish" Amari said as she swung her light saber and smiled.
They matched each other blow for blow. They moved faster and faster until everything was a blur. They were equal on every level possible. When ever one ended up cornering the other the one would use the force to throw them off. they had never fought so fiercely before.
Amari suddenly jumped on top of one of the many ledges and started running down one of the corridors. Lamari followed and as Amari backed up they would occasionally bat each others light saber away. Amari sighed and walked backwards over a stone frame as they fought. She then jumped down and Lamari followed. She felt odd fighting her sister. She wanted to move a lot and fight as little as possible and so far she was doing just that. Avoiding all fighting possible. Amari saw her sister getting tired, she raised her arm and knocked her over with the force. Suddenly she ran to her sister and placed her knee on her throat.
"If you kill me I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine" Lamari said with a smile.
"Who said anything about killing you?" Amari took Lamari's light saber and tossed it in the air. The small silver pole twirled in the air before it came tumbling down again Amari cut it in half with hers. "I shall strip you of your dignity" she said as she grabbed her sisters hair and cut it off. "Sleep" Amari spoke as she held her hand over her sisters eyes. Lamari lost consciousness.
Amari walked around the temple for a while before she stopped in front of a very large room. Inside where computers and more black robed beings. They were working on the computers, she pulled her hood up and walked over to the giant laser in the middle of all the people pulled her light saber out and cut it clean in half. Both ends were still glowing orange when she unhooded her self and raised her arms and the doors closed and locked. The noise was deafening. They all turned around somewhat shocked.
"I know your secret, I know that all of you are somehow connected to the Galactic Senate and I am almost certain all of you are senators," She looked around they all dared not move. "This is a warning, you may practice what you wish but the Jedi will not allow you to disrupt peace in the Galaxy, I will not allow it," She narrowed her eyes and started for the door which was now open. she then turned around and looked at the computers they all went up in smoke and she walked out of the door leaving the many black robed people to scurry about in confusion.
