Chapter 11: Death Star Siege Part III

Obi-wan stood up as Anakin brought his saber away from Xen's body and deactivated it. He had the worst stomach ache and his head was throbbing. Anakin walked up to him.

" Are you alright?"

" … Yes… my… stomach." Obi-wan said not able to speak well.

" We need to get out of here and destroy this thing." Anakin said.

" Are you so sure you want to do that?" A voice asked behind him. He felt a dark presence in the force and knew instantly it was Sidious's essence coming back to taunt him. He turned and face the ghost.

" Why would I not want to do that?"

" This could be a great weapon for your Republic."

" What happened to you?" Anakin asked ignoring the question.

" What do you mean."

" You used to be a manipulative bastard, and now…"

" Now I am giving you advice." Sidious smiled. " And you are confused."

" Yes."

" I am dead. There is nothing for me."

" And taunting me is some sort of stupid past time."

" Yes."

" Get away."

" Fine, but remember this is a great weapon." Sidious said fading away. Obi-wan shook his head and walked out of the room, Anakin close behind him.

This was far to easy, or it was for now. Anakin and Obi-wan had gone back to their capital ship and scrabbled an attack group of fighters. Obi-wan was feeling much better now and was able to help in the effort. He was flying along side Anakin ahead of the group. They were nearing the trench on the Death Star where, at the end, there were exhaust ports that led to the main reactor. So far no droid ships had even attacked. But there was some dark plotting at work, Anakin could sense it.

He led the group into the trench.

" Alright, lock onto the exhaust ports with your targeting computers. Fire when they are in range, only a direct shot… damn fighters coming up behind us." Anakin said through the comm.

Indeed there seemed to be a few squadrons of droid fighters behind them. There wasn't much they could do though in the trench. Anakin though for a moment, there was a way. He swung his ship out of the trench as two X-wings were shot down.

" What are you doing!" Cried Obi-wan.

" Covering you." Said Anakin flipping his ship behind the groups of droid fighters. He spayed them with laser blasts and they went crashing down into the station blowing up in brilliant red flame.

More came and they were shot down although Anakin was not quick enough and several X-wings went down as well. This was a very weak defense, the Grand Moff of this station was not very clever.

They were now nearing the end of the trench and still no fighters. Anakin flew slightly ahead of the group and the exhaust ports were visible.

" Obi-wan! Fire!" Anakin said. Obi-wan did so, out of his ship flew six missiles three going into one port and three in the other. " Pull back!"

Seconds after they had come out of the trench and were away from the Death Star it exploded sending hot gas everywhere. The light seemed to be silver instead of red or orange. It was mysterious but Anakin had no time to ponder. Eagerly he landed on the command ship to get back to Coruscant and break all the wonderful news to the Coruscanti. The last of the empire had been wiped away for good.

I'm sorry this chapter was not as good as I said it would be. It is downright crappy, but please no flames. The last one I think made up for it. There will be no epilogue though I made a mistake.
