Chapter 17: Boundless Love

"I'm sorry..." Angel whispered to herself, "...my love."

The suns of Courascant have set. It's a moonless night, the only light being the lamps floating in the air, the lit towers of the city, and that caused by the speeders and ships. Despite the sounds of the speeders, all was silent around the roof Sonic and Angel stood. They were spaced the length of the roof from each other, both having their sabers activated and held against each other. Angel felt terrible for having to do this. Tears rolled down her cheek with each passing second, as she kept staring past her crimson blade to Sonic. She didn't want to do this; she'd rather be able to live a life with him, but with Xin dead, she became a Sith lord. In her mind, she has no choice.

Sonic felt just as bad. He could feel the conflict within her; and knew, deep down, she didn't want to do this. He stared at her, past his green blade, with tears in his eyes. He had to defend himself, but at the same time, he didn't want to cause Angel any harm. In his mind, he had no choice.

"Your move Sith..." he said in a light, unwilling voice.

"Fine," without giving a second thought, she charged him with her saber cocked back.

Sonic met her saber and they stood there locked together, "I am sorry about this Angel...It was wrong of me to fall in love."

More and more tears rolled from her eyes, "Dammit Sonic, stop making this worse than it is!"

She backed off and swung for him, secretly hoping that he would dodge it. Sonic ducked from her attack and raised his hand to send her across the roof. The shock sent Angel from her place in front of him, to the middle of the roof. She used the momentum to roll backwards, up onto her feet. With a wipe across the cheek, and a deep, shuddering breath, she charged him again. Their sabers clashed loudly, thought out the area of the city they stood, as they attacked and blocked each other. Sonic stayed on the defensive the whole time, while Angel tried to end the battle fast so she would, hopefully, lose all the guilt and hatred towards herself before it was too late.

When she tried to kick his feet from under him, he jumped up to the roof's railing and looked down at her, "We don't have to do this Angel," she swung for his knees; he jumped up and flipped over her, "Angel please!"

"No! It has to be this way!" She threw out her hand, causing him to fly backwards.

He landed hard on the other side of the roof, and looked up in time to see her in the air. Her saber was pointed down, with a direct shot to his heart.

"Angel, no!" he got his arm up and force pushed her away, just before she made contact.

They both stood up, breathing heavy, "Sonic...just die. For my sake alone, just die..."

Hearing this caused more tears to come down his face. After a moment in shock and disbelief, he took in a deep breath and looked up at her.

"You want to kill me?" he stood with his saber held behind him, "then give me your best shot."

She narrowed her eyes, and with a burst of adrenaline, went for him with her saber going forward. As fast as lighting, they were standing next to each other, both with their sabers held out as if an attack was made.

"Angel..." Sonic's eyes closed a last stream of tears came down his face, "...I still love you..."

Angel was in great disbelief as she heard his body fall to the roof floor. Her breath became caught in her throat, and her eyes grew wider. Her saber fell from her hands, deactivating as it hit the floor.

"No..." it was barely a whisper. Her lips started to shudder, "Nno..."

She turned to see him laying on the floor, lifeless. Her attack succeeded. He purposely missed her. He could have taken her with him, but he moved his saber to the side.

"Sonic..." she went over to him and fell on her knees. Her shacking hands went onto his back as she bent her head down. She took in a shuddering breath and looked up into the air...

Miles from the roof where the struggle happened, Count Dooku was receiving a holographic message from his master, Darth Sideous.

Dooku bowed his head as the image became clear, "My lord, I have General Grievous ready and waiting to stage the attack on Courascant."

"Excellent Lord Tyrannus. Make sure the general doesn't forget, that the point of this attack is to..." Sideous paused and began looking to the direction of the building Sonic and Angel are on.

"Is there a problem my lord?"

"I felt a great disturbance...as if someone broke into the very core of the darkside. Then it suddenly vanished..."

Dooku tried to search for this disturbance through the force but Sideous turned back to him, "It doesn't matter. Nothing will be able to stop us now that we've come this far. Tell the general he can attack tomorrow."

"Yes my lord..." Dooku bowed as the image disappeared.

Within nine months, the Jedi were hunted down and destroyed. The temple sent aflame, and the republic turned into the Galactic Empire. The emperor, Darth Sideous, and his new apprentice, Darth Vader, looked on from a balcony, as the newly armored Storm Troopers marched into their Star Destroyers. Across the field of ships, was the Galactic Senate building. Underneath the shadow of the dome, was a tall dark figure watching on with his head lowered. Another figure came up behind him, slightly shorter in comparison. The figure placed a hand in the taller one's hand. The taller figure turned to the shorter one. After a few minutes staring at each other, they both turned and disappeared into the shadows...
