Okay, here is the next chapter. Hope you enjoy. By now you should know I don't own Star Wars. DO I REALLY NEED TO SAY IT? MORE REVIEWS!
The Jedi landed on the Executor with little trouble. Once the two ships were down, the Jedi battle group left and snuck out of the hanger bay. Revan, being the one who had led Jolee, Bastila, and Juhani around on the ship before, led the way around the ship. They hadn't made it far when they ran into an imperial patrol. Kitch looked at the others and smiled.
"Let me take care of this. Poison grenade. No explosion, puts them to sleep instantly, and permanently."
Kitch pulled the safety pin and tossed it. The grenade worked to perfection. After they were sure the patrol was down, they continued on their way.
Meanwhile, on the Bridge, Darth Sidious had ordered the crew off of the Bridge and together with Vader, Malak, and Rage, they waited for the Jedi. Behind Sidious, in binders, was Scout. However, Sidious had a way of dealing with Revan, Bastila. Juhani, and Jolee.
"Lord Malak, bring the other captives so they can join the girl."
"As you wish my Lord."
It took an hour for Kitch and the others to get to the ship's Bridge. However, before they reached the door, Kitch had the others stop.
"Okay, on the other side of that door are four Sith Lords. Who takes who?"
"Bastila, Juhani, Jolee, and I will take Malak." Revan said as the three other Jedi nodded.
"Master Qui-Gon and I can take Vader."
"With Masters Windu and Fisto, I shall go, and together, face Sidious, we shall."
"Okay. Timoth, Tru, and I will take Rage. May the Force be with us all...?"
"Kitch, where is Barriss?"
"I sent her on a mission Master Kenobi."
"Okay."
"Let's go."
Kitch proceeded to the door and pressed the button and a second later, it hissed open. Together, the 12 Jedi Knights entered the Bridge, each drawing his or her lightsaber and igniting them as they entered. Darth Sidious laughed when he saw the Jedi.
"I have been expecting you Master Yoda. Though I must say, it took you longer than I thought it would. Maybe I have given you Jedi too much credit."
"Shove it Sidious. We're here to end your reign of terror once and for all." Kitch said, his blue blade ready for a fight.
"Ahhh, as reckless as always young Jedi. However, you wouldn't want to give me a reason to hurt her, or should I say them, would you?"
As Sidious spoke, he moved to show someone behind him. Kitch almost dropped his lightsaber when he saw who it was.
"Scout! You touch her you Sith disease, and I'll..."
"Kitch may not touch you, but I have nothing to loose." Revan said, his double-bladed lightsaber glowing blue and poised to strike.
"Really, Darth Revan. Why don't you see for yourself."
A light came on and they could all see a male wookie, a female twi'lek, and two male humans. Kitch had never seen Revan look shocked or surprised, but as the saying goes, there is a first time for everything.
"No..."
"So, do you surrender? Or will you let your friends die?"
"I...I..."
Then, in a blur of speed, Kitch was moving, his blue lightsaber a blur of light, cutting at the Sith Lord. Sidious, surprised, fell back. It was as if this was the signal they had all been waiting for. The Jedi took the targets they had agreed on earlier, and thus the battle was on. Lightsabers wheeled and blurred as the forces of good an evil fought an epic battle, a battle that would affect the galaxy for thousands of years in the future. As Kitch fought, he noticed how Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan fought Darth Vader, and though it been over a decade since the Sith on Naboo had killed Qui-Gon, they still fought in perfect unison, covering each others weaknesses and supplementing each others strength. However, Kitch was too focused on Rage to really focus on the others.
Rage knocked Tru back, leaving Timoth and Kitch to face him alone. Kitch flanked his left while Timoth flanked his right, and together, the two Jedi Masters forced him back. Then, Tru rushed to rejoin the battle, but with a quick under slash, Rage brought his blade across and cut into Tru's thighs, forcing him to the ground. The follow up dug into Timoth's shoulder, and he was sent to join Tru. Now, Kitch was alone against his former student and fellow Jedi.
His blue lightsaber whirled as it fought against Rage's red blade, and for once in his life, Kitch questioned as to whether he would live through the encounter. Kitch felt himself begin to tire as Rage fought him back.
'I can't believe this. Chris..Rage, is going to kill me.' At least I tried...'
"Do or do not, there is no try." Master Yoda's words echoed through his mind, and suddenly he understood.
'I will not try to defeat Rage and save Scout. I will defeat Rage and save Scout and my child. Rage will not win this battle.'
Finding the reserves inside of him, Kitch stopped falling back and started holding his grounds, and with each swing of his blade he showed Rage he was not giving up without a fight, and he was here to stay and to win. Kitch, in a quick and unexpected move, called Timoth's lightsaber to his right hand, it's silver blade glowing vibrantly with his blue blade. Then, without waiting, Kitch attacked with everything in his arsenal and then some. Rage did not expect Kitch to do this, and thus he was forced back. His movement was so fast, his blades working in such harmony, that Rage never had much of a chance against Kitch.
Kitch's blue blade come up, aiming for Rage's wrist, but instead intercepted the hilt of his lightsaber. As the red Sith blade winked out of existence, Kitch brought the silver blade up and under, cutting into Rage's gut, while his blue blade came down through Rage's shoulders and into his chest. Rage screamed as he died, but it did him no good. Kitch sighed as he switched off Timoth's saber.
'Another Sith bites the dust. One down, three to go.'
Kitch ran over to Timoth and Tru, and after making sure they were okay, run off to help with Vader.
Obi-Wan Kenobi remembered his last battle with his former padawan. It had taken all of his strength out of him then, but now he had one of the best swordsmen the Jedi Order had ever seen helping him.
'I wish we could still turn Anakin back to the light side.'
Qui-Gon's emerald blade clashed with Vader's crimson saber, and as Obi-Wan came in from his opposite flank, but Vader, with all of the grace he had possessed as Anakin Skywalker, retracted and blocked it. However, soon after, Kitch joined and the three Jedi Masters attacked in unison.
Yoda was jumping everywhere, his small green lightsaber everywhere around Sidious. Mace and Kit flanked the Dark Lord, making him worry in fear as to whether or not he would win the battle.
Revan's blue double-bladed lightsaber was enough for Malak, but with the three other Jedi, he knew he was going to loose, but he would put up a hell of a fight if he went.
Finally, Vader back stepped and pointed his red blade at Scout's chest.
"All Jedi drop your weapons, or she dies, as will the other captives."
Kitch looked at the other Jedi, who were all wondering on what to do. If they refused, the hostages would die. If they did drop their weapons, then they would die too. This left Kitch with no option.
"Skywalker, why do you do this? You used to be a Jedi, our brother, and the hope for our future. We trusted you, and you betrayed us. Why do you serve the Sith?"
"The Dark Side has powers no Jedi could ever dream of."
"You mean the Dark Side has powers no Jedi would ever want to dream of. Anakin, you don't have to do this. You can still turn back to the light side of the Force."
"He's right Vader. I used to be the Dark Lord of the Sith, and I returned; and you can too."
"They're right Anni. The Force is too powerful to be used for anything but good."
'What did I tell you Vader? I told you I would return, and I have. Now, give me my body back.'
'Shut up Skywalker. I, Darth Vader, Sith Lord, am in charge here. It is time to make you pay once and for all.'
'As Kitch asked; why do you serve the Sith? I mean, the only reason we originally joined was to save Padmé, but now she's dead. You don't get it do you Vader? You misunderstood the dreams of Padmé dying at child birth. By turning to the Dark Side, you fulfilled it. You killed Padmé because in the end, the only thing you cared about was yourself. Mother would be ashamed of you-of us.'
'Had Obi-Wan and the Jedi never turned Padmé against me, she would still be alive. Padmé brought Obi-Wan to Mustafar to kill me.'
'She did not lead him there on purpose and you know it. Obi-Wan probably snuck on board so he could find you and stop you.'
'Palpatine promised me I would learn to prevent those I care about from dying.'
'Have you noticed he sounds the most convincing when he's afraid of you? Why do you think he did his best to convince you to kill Dooku? So he would be better able to seduce you to the Dark Side of the Force. Do you remember what he said about "those who gain power are afraid to loose it?" He was right. He gained power and would do anything to prevent himself loosing it. The only person Palpatine cares about is himself.'
'No! You are wrong Skywalker. I am a Dark Lord of the Sith. I will destroy the Light Side of the Force once and for all. You Jedi are so stupid. They said I was the Chosen One, that I would bring balance to the Force. The Sith had been hiding for 1,000 years. To bring the Force back into balance, the Dark Side had to get stronger, or else the Light would be stronger and the Force unbalanced. Good-bye, Anakin Skywalker.'
Vader turned and moved to bring his lightsaber down, killing Scout. But, as he moved, a voice from the past stopped him in his tracks.
"Anni, please, stop. Stop now, come back, I love you Anni. Please don't continue like this. It's doesn't have to end like this."
Everyone turned to see Barriss Offeé, but she wasn't alone. Standing next to her was none other than Padmé Amildala. Everyone was shocked to see her; that is, everyone but Kitch.
'Perfect timing mother.' he thought to himself.
'She's back. My dear wife has returned from the grave, thanks to the Light Side of the Force. Vader, you can't be in control any longer. You have made the Dark Side of the Force too strong; now I must take you out.'
"Anakin, I know there is still good in you. If you love me then renounce the Dark Side and return to the light. Thinks can still be set straight."
"Anakin, Padmé is right. You were my brother Anakin, and the man I trained is still in there, waiting to be released. You can return now and help us rebuild the Jedi Order."
"Anakin, I love you, I will always love you, so please return."
"When on Vjun talking to Dooku was I, remember something I told him I did, and for you, the same goes for you young Skywalker: when you fall, catch you I will."
Finally, after so many years of darkness, Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, died and Anakin Skywalker returned. Then, a miracle occurred; one that would always be remembered. A beam of blue and green light hit Vader, and when it disappeared, the dark figure of Darth Vader was gone. In his place stood Anakin Skywalker, the same as Obi-Wan remembered him when they had bid farewell when Obi-Wan had left for Utapau. Anakin dropped his red lightsaber.
"I'm back Master."
"I'm
glad. I think you may want this."
Obi-Wan reached into his
tunic and pulled out a lightsaber hilt, tossing it to Anakin. The
blue blade ignited, and a second later, Malak was on the ground, a
hole in his chest, and then Anakin turned on Palpatine. Kitch moved
to help in what he knew would be the final battle, but Obi-Wan and
Qui-Gon stopped him.
"This is Anakin's destiny."
"It ends here Emperor."
"Lord Vader..."
"I am Anakin Skywalker. I am a Jedi."
"So be it, Jedi..."
So, what did you think? The next chapter will explain about Padmé coming back, so no worries. Oh, and to answer a question, Zaalbar, Mission, Carth, and Canderous are here, just wait until the next chapter. I NEED REVIEWS!
