Yenshu and Liera followed Alexi to a rocky canyon. Once they got there, they swept their gaze over the area directly before them. Their first sight that they saw was of Obi-Wan fighting a figure in black. It could only be Xanatos. Their next sight shocked them. They saw Lllyana fighting with Tzadik!
After their sights registered, they split up to help their friends. Alexi went to help Lllyana fight Tzadik. As he approached, he nearly fell back due to the darkness emitting from Tzadik. Her once smiling face was now a horrifying snarl. Her gaze left the duel with Lllyana as Lllyana fell backwards over a rock. Tzadik looked at Alexi and she called the Force to her and used it to send a large rock hurdling towards Alexi's head.
Liera and Yenshu immediately rushed to Obi-Wan's side. As they ran, they felt the dark side of the Force engulf Xanatos as he furiously lunged towards Obi-Wan, who gracefully dodged the blow. Liera ran to Obi-Wan without hesitating, but Yenshu stopped. As she saw the three fighting, her feelings for her master and friend and those for the rouge Jedi were conflicting. For a few long moments, she didn't know what to do.
Alexi quickly regained his senses and moved a second before the rock crashed into the spot where he was just standing. He ran to help Lllyana, who was still struggling to get up from her fall. Tzadik's gaze left Alexi and returned to her fallen prey. She looked at Lllyana with a hungry gleam in her eyes as she swung her lightsaber down to kill her. Alexi had his lightsaber out as he ran. He reached Lllyana a second before Tzadik's lightsaber did and blocked the blow that was meant to kill her. Tzadik's eyes flashed in anger and she started swinging her lightsaber wildly.
Yenshu stood in horror as she watched her friends battle, both sides just barely dodging blows. She watched as Xanatos pulled another lightsaber of from behind his cloak and lunged for Obi-Wan's heart. She saw Liera do a back flip over Xanatos's head and attempt to stab him from behind. Once Liera called out to her for help, but she was frozen in her place, tears filling her eyes.
Alexi called the Force to him as he blocked and parried all of Tzadik's moves. He could feel Lllyana take in the Force as she lunged at her former friend. As he moved to help Lllyana, he stole a glance at his master to make sure she was all right, but when he looked, she was standing still and crying. When he saw this, his focus faltered and he did not cover Lllyana when Tzadik moved. When Alexi put his focus back into the battle, he turned his head in just enough time to see a red light coming through Lllyana's chest. Tzadik's wild blows had hit her mark. Lllyana was dead.
Yenshu stared at the site that was killing her. Xanatos, the one person she ever loved, was fighting Liera and Obi-Wan, her two loyal friends and masters. After about five minutes, she finally looked elsewhere. Her eyes met Alexi's for a split second. In that same split second, she saw a red glow come from Lllyana. Her gaze moved with Alexi's and saw that Tzadik had accomplished one of her goals. Lllyana lay dieing on the ground. In that moment, she forgot about the others and ran over to cover Alexi, who had knelt next to Lllyana's body, grieving because he felt that it was his fault that she died.
Liera immediately ran to Obi-Wan's side and called the Force to her so that she could help him. She was lost in the battle, not even noticing the conflict that Yenshu was facing. Neither her, nor Obi-Wan had even noticed that Yenshu was standing less than ten feet from them, unsure of what to do. After dodging and blocking and fighting non-stop with the Sith Lord Xanatos, Liera felt a sudden pain. From the look on Obi-Wan's face, he too had felt it. They quickly threw their eyes around, taking in everything. They looked to where Alexi, Tzadik, and Lllyana were fighting and saw Alexi gently set Lllyana on the ground. The pain they felt was the loss of their friend and fellow Jedi.
Yenshu blocked Tzadik's fierce blows as Alexi dealt with the loss of Lllyana. He had never lost someone like this and he blamed himself for her death. Alexi gently set her down away from the fight. He felt anger, hate, and despair swell inside his heart. He looked at the fight as Tzadik jumped over Yenshu's head to try to hit her back. He saw Tzadik use the Force to hurl rocks and other objects at Yenshu. His anger swelled and took over his body. With an angry yell he ran towards Tzadik and tackled her. Tzadik kicked him off of her and got up. Yenshu helped Alexi off the ground and tried to calm him, to no avail. Alexi ran towards Tzadik and started slashing his lightsaber madly. Tzadik easily blocked his blows. Before Yenshu could help her Padawan, Tzadik had stabbed him in the back.
As Liera and Obi-Wan continued their battle with Xanatos, they felt another sharp pain, but this one was stronger than the last. Both of them looked to the other fight and saw Tzadik pull her blade out of Alexi's back. Xanatos took their moment of weakness and used the Force to knock them off of their feet.
Yenshu saw Alexi's face as Tzadik's blade sliced into his back. She saw the pain and hurt that showed in his eyes.
Tzadik looked at her and laughed. "What are you going to do now Yenshu?" she asked evilly.
"Tzadik, what happened to you?" Yenshu asked quietly.
"After Master Gallia died, Xanatos found me on my way to Dagobah and finished my training. He showed me how to use the Force to help me."
"Why would you go against everything Adi wanted for you?"
"That doesn't matter. I have avenged her death by killing the Jedi. If it wasn't for them, then she would still be alive now. She will not be completely avenged until every Jedi is gone, and there are only three more." Tzadik said with and evil smile as she lunged toward Yenshu.
Obi-Wan, Liera, and Xanatos had stopped their battle, each listening to what Tzadik was saying. Obi-Wan and Liera stood in shock at the revelation that Tzadik blamed the Jedi for Adi Gallia's death. Xanatos smiled evilly, proud of himself because he planted that thought in her head when she was young. They saw Tzadik lung toward Yenshu to attempt to kill her, but the two Jedi could do nothing. Xanatos saw his student move and without hesitating, jumped in the path of Tzadik's angry swings.
"What are you doing?" she yelled angrily.
"This is one Jedi I will not allow you to kill." he said as he stood in front of Yenshu, his lightsaber at the ready.
"If you want to stop me, then you will die with her." Tzadik said as she attacked Xanatos. Xanatos easily dodged all of Tzadik's wild moves and without the slightest hesitation, plunged his lightsaber into his former student's stomach.
"You just killed your student and our friend!" Liera said angrily as she came out of the shock of what just happened. She re-ignited her lightsaber. Obi-Wan did the same.
"She killed two of your people and tried to kill your Padawan, and you are angry with me?" he said scornfully.
"Xanatos, this isn't the way and you know it." Yenshu said quietly as she stepped toward him. She looked into his dark eyes. She was the only person who could without looking away.
"Yenshu, step back. I don't want you to get hurt in this." He said as he coldly looked over at the other two Jedi. He ran over to them and their battle began again.
Yenshu looked on sadly as Xanatos continued to attack her friends. She tore her eyes from them and started looking around her. Her eyes first fell upon Lllyana. Her gaze then fell to Tzadik and a great sorrow filled her heart. As she looked at these two, a soft voice called to her. She turned in shock to see Alexi trying to get her attention.
She ran over to him and grabbed his hand. "Alexi!" she said over and over again.
"Master." Alexi said with difficulty. "I am so sorry that I didn't listen to you."
"What are you talking about?" she asked through tears.
"I let the Dark Side consume me and I didn't listen to you. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry that I wasn't a better Padawan for you."
"Alexi, you were the best Padawan a Jedi could ever hope for. You were like a son to me and I could never wish for better."
Alexi gave Yenshu a weak smile and she returned it. He squeezed her hand right before it went limp. Yenshu leaned over him and closed his eyes. She gently kissed his forehead and then went to try to stop anyone else from dying.
Out of the corner of his eye, Xanatos saw Yenshu start walking over to the battle. She had a new, determined look about her. He put his focus back to the battle before him and continued to block the blows of the two Jedi.
Sweat ran down Obi-Wan's face as he continued to block and dodge Xanatos's fierce lunges. He thrust his lightsaber toward Xanatos, who easily dodged. Obi-Wan became so enthralled with his battle, that he didn't even notice that Liera was still beside him.
As Xanatos fought the angry Jedi, he could feel Yenshu getting closer to the fight. He didn't want her to get hurt, so he put his entire focus on the battle, looking for any weaknesses that he could find. Soon, he noticed that Obi-Wan no longer fought with Liera, but each fought on their own. As soon as he saw an opening, he thrust his lightsaber into it, hitting Liera's stomach. She stumbled back and fell onto the rock wall that was behind them.
Obi-Wan noticed that Xanatos's moves had become more aggressive. He saw Xanatos put his energy into the movement that was on his right. Obi-Wan turned to see what Xanatos was striking. He turned in just enough time to see Liera fall back and hit the wall of the canyon with a hole in her stomach.
Yenshu walked toward the three Jedi. She was determined to stop the death, even if it meant her own. She saw Xanatos start attacking faster and more aggressively. When she had almost reached the group, she saw Xanatos plunge his red lightsaber into Liera. She saw her stumble back and saw Obi-Wan rush to help her. Yenshu ran the rest of the way to the battle. When she reached it, Xanatos turned to her.
Obi-Wan gently placed Liera against the wall of the canyon, tears coming from his eyes.
"Liera?" he asked in a pleading voice. "Liera, please get up."
A tear fell down Liera's cheek as she found the energy to speak. "Obi-Wan." She said painfully. "Ben, I'm sorry."
"You have nothing to be sorry about." He said as he wiped the tear off of her cheek.
"I'm sorry that I never told you." she said. But before she could finish her sentence, the breath left her body.
"Liera?" Obi-Wan asked as his tears fell from his face onto hers. "Liera, I love you. Xanatos will pay for this."
"Please, leave." Xanatos said to Yenshu.
"Why did you do this Xanatos?" she asked through tears.
"Please, I don't want you to get hurt. Leave." he said, now practically begging.
"Why? There is nothing left for me but to die." Yenshu said sadly. "You have killed all that were dear to me except for Obi-Wan, and you will kill him soon."
"If I do not, then he will kill me." Xanatos said simply. Yenshu could hear regret in his voice. "I didn't want it to go this far. I just wanted Obi- Wan. He ruined my life."
"You ruined your life when you turned." Yenshu said coldly. Xanatos was shocked at how brutally she answered him. "But now, you have ruined my life and Obi-Wan's."
As he heard Yenshu's words, all of the anger, revenge, and selfishness that was in his heart left him. He finally realized how wrong he had been through all of his life and fell to his knees, tears streaming out of his eyes.
"I'm sorry." He mumbled over and over again, to nobody imparticular. Yenshu knelt beside him and put her arms around him to comfort him. He looked up at her and his eyes were no longer filled with hate and anger, but with sorrow.
Obi-Wan looked over at Xanatos and saw him kneeling on the ground. At that moment, all of the anger and hate that Xanatos had ever caused him came and took over his heart. The Dark Side of the Force engulfed him and he rushed toward Xanatos, lightsaber drawn. The only thing that remained in his heart was the hatred of the dark figure now kneeling next to Yenshu.
As Yenshu knelt near Xanatos, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Obi-Wan rise and ignite his lightsaber. She knew that the only thing she could do was protect the former Sith Lord, because he was to distraught to protect himself. As she saw Obi-Wan come closer to them, Yenshu moved in front of Xanatos to hug him. As she did, Obi-Wan's lightsaber cut through her soft flesh and through to Xanatos's.
Obi-Wan was so filled with anger, that he didn't notice Yenshu move in front of his target. He pushed his lightsaber through her body and into Xanatos's. Right afterwards, the shock of what he did came crashing down onto him. He just killed his Padawan.
Xanatos saw nothing. He didn't notice Obi-Wan until it was too late. He felt the burn of his lightsaber go through his flesh and cut and burn his internal organs. His focus then went to Yenshu, who had become limp on top of him.
Obi-Wan turned off his lightsaber and helped Xanatos pull Yenshu off of him. Together they managed to lay her next to Liera. Yenshu looked at them both, tears slowly falling down her cheeks.
"Yenshu, I am so sorry." Obi-Wan said over and over again.
"Calm yourself Master." she said with a weak smile.
"But, I-" he started again, but Yenshu cut him off by placing her hand over his mouth.
Xanatos could do nothing. It was all he could do to stay next to Yenshu. His wound was slowly becoming worse. He sat next to her, wincing in pain while she spoke with Obi-Wan. After a few moments, her red eyes turned to meet his black ones.
"Xanatos." she said weakly.
"I am here." was all he could manage to say, and even that sounded painful.
"Welcome back." Xanatos gave her a confused look, so she elaborated. "Welcome back to the light side of the Force."
"Why did you do it?" he asked through tears.
"You know why I did." She replied, slowly lifting a hand to wipe his face. As her hand reached his face, a cry of pain and anguish escaped his throat. It was the first time that Obi-Wan and Yenshu noticed that he too was hurt. Xanatos carefully laid down next to Yenshu, holding her hand.
Xanatos looked into Yenshu's eyes and whispered, "I love you." With his last breathe.
"I love you too." Yenshu whispered. She raised her other hand to his face and died, wiping his last tear from his face.
Yenshu and Liera followed Alexi to a rocky canyon. Once they got there, they swept their gaze over the area directly before them. Their first sight that they saw was of Obi-Wan fighting a figure in black. It could only be Xanatos. Their next sight shocked them. They saw Lllyana fighting with Tzadik!
