We're Wizards, Not Warriors
Chapter 18: Storming the Castle
The next day...
Luke, Leia and Kane had all cried upon hearing their mother was taken by Lilith. Hamill had done their best to comfort them afterwards.
But Anakin promised them he and the others would get her and Sam back if they had to burn the entire castle to the ground.
Luke gave him a match after he said that.
And Leia gave him a bottle of what Eda called, "Gaasholeen."
Luz was wearing her cloak as she and King too wanted to help rescue Eda and Sam. She was eager to give Lilith a piece of her mind for what she did! As was King.
Kane had to keep calling down his father and friends, since he was the only one who wanted to make amends with his Aunt.
….
Back at the Scarlet House.
"Father! Papa! We want to go too", Aiden said.
"We want to help rescue Dad", Ahsoka said.
Hordak and Prime sighed as they knelt down to their kids. Aiden was holding Hamill in his arms.
Hordak said, "we know you wanna help, but this is going to be a very dangerous mission. We're going to rescue Sam and your Graunt Eda from Belos."
Prime added, "we could never forgive ourselves if you got hurt."
"And we cannot let Belos know that Aiden…. That you and your sister can use Scarlet Magic", Hordak said.
The kids seemed to grasp what their father's were saying.
"But please, be careful", Galen said to his fathers.
"We don't want to lose you both", Marek said.
Prime and Hordak hugged their kids and said, "you won't. We promise."
"And you kids stay safe…. Don't leave the house or isles", Prime said.
The kids nodded at their words.
"Barriss, Leon, Hamill; watch after them", Hordak said.
Leon and Barriss gave firm nods. Hamill gave a salute.
Hordak and Prime then hugged their children.
"May the force be with you", Ahsoka said.
Hordak said, "and you, our little ones."
Hordak and Prime kissed their children on their foreheads.
The two men then left the house as they headed to the Jedi Temple.
When they got there, they looked over their teams.
The distraction team and the stealth team.
Everyone was getting prepared for the mission.
Anakin watched as Wrecker hefted a new invention of Tech's. A large pipe filled with magic that would explode when Wrecker pulled the trigger.
It was called a, "launcher."
Various Jedi Cruisers were being prepared as well for the rescue mission.
The steam operated ships would prove a great distraction.
The Jedi had to make sure everything goes well, and that no one would be left behind…. Or get caught.
This could very well be their most dangerous mission yet.
But they will succeed in rescuing Sam and Eda…. Whatever it took to reunite their family.
….
Emperor's castle.
Beast Eda was running around the throne room.
"Eda, stop that this instant", Lilith shouted as she chased after her.
Eda tears down a tapestry of Belos, begins chewing on it.
Lilith forms a spell circle and a bubble traps Eda.
"Don't look at me like that. This is for your own good", Lilith said as she wiped the sweat from her face, "Emperor Belos will heal you, and we'll be in his coven together. Isn't that wonderful?"
Eda, even in her beast form, had enough mind to blow an angry raspberry at her sister. It seems even Beast Eda knew that Lilith's plan was the smelliest of bull-shit.
"I will not fall prey to your childish games", Lilith said as she crossed her arms.
Lilith then turns around and promptly sticks her tongue out at Eda.
The door to the throne room opens. Six coven guards and Kikimora enter.
"All kneel before Emperor Belos", Kikimora said as she bowed and moved away from the door.
Lilith and everyone else in the room promptly bowed as well as Belos stalked toward the Clawthrone sisters.
Eda growled even more angrily at the sight of Belos, her mama bird instincts for Sam still ever prevalent.
Eda shrieks and bursts out of the bubble, running towards Belos.
"Eda! No", Lilith shouted.
Belos vanishes before Eda can attack him, appearing behind her and throwing her against a wall by lifting his finger. Eda falls to the ground, glowing red ropes appearing to keep her down.
Lilith runs between Beast Eda and Belos's shadow.
"My Lord, I apologize for my sister's rash behavior. She is still in her cursed form. Once you've healed her, as promised, I am sure she will become a useful asset to the coven", Lilith said with a smile on her face.
Belos summons his mechanical staff and raises it, healing Eda only to the point of allowing her speech in her Beast form.
"Ah. Where am I? What is this? Aw crap, I got caught", Eda said with a frown on her face. Eda glared at Belos and Lilith and asked, "where the Hell is Sam you moldy faced prick?"
Lilith exclaimed, "Eda!"
Belos calmly said, "my beloved son is safe and sound in his room."
Eda replied, "riiiiight, and I'm the King of Cashmere."
Belos only sighed.
Eda growled, "where is Sam!?"
Belos said, "in his room. At the tallest tower in the castle. But you have better things to worry about."
Eda snarled in anger, "LIAR! You are keeping him chained up like a prisoner aren't you!?"
Belos kept silent, which spoke volumes to Eda.
"You may be Sam's biological father…. But he will never be your son….", Eda sneered.
"Eda, stop it", Lilith exclaimed.
"Sam already has a father…. And his name is Anakin Skywalker", Eda shouted in anger.
Belos suddenly stepped forward and backhanded Eda across the face!
This shocked Lilith, the scouts and even Kikimora!
Eda spat out a bit of blood.
She growled, "who taught you how to punch? Your husband?"
Belos clenched his fists.
He smacked her again for blood measure!
She grinned and said, "thank you sir, may I have another?"
Belos sighed in frustration.
Lilith said, "my Lord. I promise you that Eda will apologize as soon as she's been healed."
Eda exclaimed, "no I won't!"
Belos said, "I'll deal with this later…. Now, I have heard you have become the mentor of a human known as Luz?"
"You stay away from her, or so help me, Titan….", Eda growled.
"You've got it all wrong. The human is safe, for now. I just want the portal she came through", Belos said with a chuckle.
"Tough, 'cause I ain't telling you nothing", Eda growled.
Lilith said, "Eda, be reasonable!"
Eda said, "oh, like I'm gonna take advice from the sister who cursed me!?"
Kikimora muttered, "damn, even I think that's cold."
"Ugh, pity. Although I suppose I could ask the human herself", Belos said as he snapped his fingers.
The guards run in to drag Eda away.
"Wait! Don't touch her! Lilith, don't let him hurt her! Lilith", Eda shouted in fear.
Lilith asked, "ah, taking her to the healing ceremony?"
Belos simply said one word. But when he did, it instantly caught Lilith off guard and shocked her to her core.
"No."
"What?! But, you promised me-", Lilith said feeling betrayed.
Belos said, "don't be so naïve, Lilith. This is the Titan's will. All wild witches must be dealt with before the Day of Unity. You understand, don't you?"
Lilith looked conflicted, but gave a nod at his words, fearing what Belos might do to her if she angered him.
"Good. And one more thing", Belos said as he snapped his fingers and Eda's staff appeared in Lilith's hands.
"Destroy the Owl Lady's staff. She won't be needing it anymore", Belos said as he left the room.
Lilith looked down at the staff, contemplating what she had just condemned her sister to. And now, finally questioning the choices that led her to this very moment.
….
Sam then heard the door open and he saw Belos walk inside.
Sam growled, "what now? Come to gloat about the power you have over me?"
"No…. I just came to inform you…. That the Owl Lady has finally been caught", Belos said with a chuckle.
Sam growled, "you don't know my aunt very well. The second your guard is down, she'll escape and raise Hell all over this castle."
Belos let out a chuckle.
"That won't happen, as today at sundown…. Your aunt is going to be petrified", Belos said.
Sam tried to keep his fear inside as he said, "you won't have a chance to do that to her…. Eda would never let herself be petrified. And what does Lilith have to say about all this?"
"Let's say Lilith…. Is not happy…. That I lied to her", Belos chuckled.
Sam said, "you can only push someone around for so long before they push back. So is that all you came here for? To gloat?"
Belos said, "no. I do have something else to tell you."
Sam asked, "and what's that?"
Belos sighed as he then said, "I'm giving you an ultimatum. If you don't join me by the time your 'aunt' is petrified…. You'll share the same fate."
Sam's eyes went wide.
Sam screamed in anger, "you heartless monster! Then why would you put so much effort into capturing me, only to then have me be petrified!?"
Belos said, "because I see now, that unless you willingly bow to me, you will be nothing but a selfish little wretch!"
"Then the whole Isles will know the monster you truly are", Sam growled.
Belos chuckled and said, "better to be feared…. Then without power."
Sam growled in anger, "they will know…. That you are a heartless being…. Who killed his own wife…. And…. Even tried to kill his…. Own son!"
Belos cackled and said, "it doesn't matter! When your Jedi friends are gone, I shall have no one to stand in my way as I take control of not only this realm, but the human realm as well!"
"FUCK YOU ASSHOLE", Sam screamed in anger.
Sam turned into his beastly form for a moment before Belos flat out punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground, barely conscious.
Sam spat out blood as he laid on the ground in pain….
Belos began howling with evil laughter as he left the room.
'Dad…. Help…. Me….', Sam said through the force.
But unknown to Sam…. His cries for help were heard!
….
Anakin was in the Jedi Cruiser speaking with the others…. When he heard it…. Sam's cries for help.
He whispered, "Sam…. We're coming…."
Anakin then raced to the main room of the Cruiser.
Anakin asked, "are we nearly there?"
Tech replied, "yes sir. Only a few minutes away. Why?"
Anakin said, "Sam sent me a message. He and Eda are gonna be petrified if we don't save them in time!"
The others in the room let out gasps of horror.
Wrecker yelled, "if they petrify them, I'm gonna rip their hearts out of their asses and shove them back down their throats!"
Tech said, "that's physically impossible."
Hunter, (the clone one), replied, "it doesn't matter! We gotta save Sam and Eda before that happens!"
Anakin then took out his purple scroll.
Anakin asked, "Hordak? Prime? Are you there?"
"Yes! We're making our way into the secret passageways of the Castle. I found them back when I was still in the coven", Hordak said.
"You have to hurry! I heard Sam through the force…. He and Eda will be petrified if we don't save them", Anakin said in fear.
"We aren't about to let that happen! You just be ready to distract Belos and his scouts while we rescue Sam and Eda", Prime said.
"Okay, just be careful", Anakin said before he hung up.
Luminara asked, "is everyone ready?"
Anakin stepped forward with Wrecker, Tech, Ventress and Rex.
Anakin felt his heart beat faster as he saw the castle up ahead.
'Sam…. We're coming for you…. Hang on', Anakin said into the force.
He desperately hoped they would win the day. He couldn't bear to lose his wife and son.
"We're getting closer", Ventress said.
"Everyone get ready", Rex shouted.
Anakin exclaimed, "ramming speed. That ought to cause a reaction."
"Are you crazy!? If we do that…. We might end up getting killed", Tech shouted.
Anakin smirked and said, "the only thing crashing this cruiser will do is crush anyone who comes into its path."
Wrecker began cackling at the action!
"Everyone hold on", Luminara shouted.
Tech clung to his controls as Wrecker began laughing like a madman.
….
Emperor's Castle.
There were a few scouts in the halls.
"Did you hear? The Owl Lady is already at the conformatorium", a scout said.
Another scout said, "about damn time. We'll finally be free of that crazy woman."
Another scout asked, "wait do you hear something?"
The first scout said, "hmm…. Yeah…. Sounds like…."
"I hear it coming closer….", a scout said before…. The cruiser crashed through the wall past them!
A scout said in shock, "what the...!?"
The cruiser continued to crash through walls, heading towards a specific target.
The scouts started to scream and run out the way!
As the cruiser kept crashing through walls, Wrecker laughed out, "run ya stupid piss-ants! Hahahaha!"
Anakin could not stop the grin on his face.
He yelled, "we're coming for ya, Belos! You better hide!"
….
Meanwhile, Sam was still lying on the floor…. He was in so much pain…. But he kept holding on as much as he could.
Sam coughed up blood as he held his side.
"Ow…. Ow…. Everything hurts…. So much", Sam grunted in pain as all his left eye could see was blood.
Sam tried to keep his mind off of the pain by chanting, "I am one with the force, and the force is with me."
Sam could swear he heard something…. And he felt…. The ground shaking?
Sam muttered, "D-Dad?"
Sam tried to move…. But he couldn't as all he felt was pain throughout his body.
Sam cried, "somebody…. Help me…."
Sam then heard…. What sounded like the door…. Breaking open?
Sam forced himself to look up to see two angels bending down to hold him.
It was Hordak and Prime!
Sam said, "you came for me."
Hordak, "nobody gets left behind."
Prime said, "can you stand, my love?"
"I don't…. Think I can….", Sam cried in pain.
Crosshair entered with Echo and Aayla.
Hordak said, "Echo, help me carry Sam out of here."
"On it", Echo said.
Echo then shot the chains off Sam.
Echo then went over to help Hordak carry Sam.
Sam hissed in pain with every movement.
Hordak said, "just hold on Sam, we're gonna get you outta here."
Sam asked, "ngh, what about…. Eda?"
"Belos has already taken her…. To the conformatorium", Aayla explained.
"We have…. To save…. Her", Sam choked out as he coughed up blood.
Prime said, "calm down Sam. You're too injured to fight. Besides…. We have someone taking care of that…."
Soon the group made it to the cruiser.
"We need to get you to the med bay", Hordak said.
As if to prove his point, Sam coughed up some blood and asked, "w-where are the others!?"
"The others made a distraction…. So we could rescue you", Prime said.
Echo said, "we weren't just gonna leave you and Eda to the mercy of that bastard."
Sam smiled weakly.
Sam asked, "where's…. My…. Father?"
Aayla said, "your real father is going to give Belos a piece of his mind!"
Sam smiled…. But then he felt everything spin….
Hordak asked worriedly, "Sam?"
Sam slowly starts to lose consciousness.
Prime exclaimed, "Sam!"
Sam fainted as Echo and Aayla took him to the medbay.
A few Jedi healers went over to Sam.
"He's lost a lot of blood", one healer said.
Another said, "he needs a transfusion if he's going to make it."
Prime asked, "does anyone here share his blood type?!"
Hordak asked worriedly, "what blood type is Sam?"
A healer said, "it looks like he's O-negative."
Another healer asked, "does anyone here have his blood type?"
Hordak said, "I do! I'll gladly give every drop of blood I have to save him."
"Follow me", the healer said.
Hordak followed the healer to a room.
Sam was placed onto a bed.
Hordak sat on the bed next to Sam's, and a wire connected them together as Hordak began to give his blood to Sam.
Sam was breathing slowly.
"Sam…. Little imp….", Hordak said with sadness.
"Please…. Hang on….", Prime said with sadness.
Sam's breathing seemed to calm down as he was given the blood he needed.
….
Meanwhile….
Belos was stalking towards Luz as the crashing was heard all around them!
Belos growled, "you are going to give me that portal, or I'll tear you apart, bit by bit!"
But before he could make good on the threat, the cruiser crashes through the wall!
Belos turned to see Anakin at the helm, yelling, "HEY THERE, JACKASS!"
The cruiser crashed into Belos, sending him flying through another wall as Anakin and the others jumped out!
Anakin asked as he ran over to her, "Luz! Are you okay?"
"I'm okay, thanks! We have to rescue Eda", Luz said with a worried look.
Belos pulled himself out of the wall and yelled, "SKYWALKER!"
Now, Anakin, Luz and a few of the Jedi found themselves facing Belos.
….
Lilith and King have been captured by Belos and are now in the same cage as Eda.
Lilith asked, "Eda?"
"Lilith", Eda snarled as she glared at her, "you hurt Luz. You cursed me. You hurt my family. How could you do all of this to me!?"
Lilith tried to speak…. But she couldn't.
"Before anything turns me to stone, I'll tear you apart", Eda shouted as she raised her claws.
King jumps in between them.
"No, don't", King shouted.
Eda stops.
"She was trying to help. She even betrayed the Emperor for you", King explained.
Eda looked at her sister in utter confusion and surprise over what King had said to her.
….
"And in a shocking turn of events, head Coven leader Lilith is now in the holding cage. Escorted by what appears to be a deranged cat", Perry Porter said then he felt Gus pull on his shirt.
"Augustus? I'm live", Perry said to Gus.
"Dad, you have to stop", Gus said.
Willow grabs Perry's microphone.
"Yeah. What's happening to Eda isn't right. She might not always follow the rules, but she hasn't done anything worthy of a petrification", Willow said.
"She helps me stay in business", Morton said as he held up two Elixirs.
"She helped me love teaching again…. After she left", Bump said.
Luke and Leia appeared behind Gus and Wilkow and yelled, "she raised us after our mom died!"
Kane yelled, "she's my mom! And a darned good one!"
The whole crowd gasped.
Perry looked at the crowd, seeing that they wanted to hear what he thought of all of these kinds words about the Owl Lady.
"Mom has been a great friend of the Jedi for years! She wants the same thing the Rogue coven wants as well", Kane yelled.
"For there to be peace on the Boiling Isles", Leia yelled.
Luke said, "and she's encouraged so many people to stand up against the Emperor and his Coven! To bring peace! And to make sure no-one is forced to join a Coven when they don't want to!"
"All the Jedi want is for there to be balance and serve the will of the Titan", Kane shouted.
"Yeah, what Belos is doing…. Is not the will of the Titan", Leia shouted.
Perry looked at the kids before saying, "well, there ya have it folks. It turns out the Emperor's Coven has been lying to everyone!"
Everyone then started to mutter among themselves.
"The Titan is actually angered at Belos' actions", Luke shouted.
Leia exclaimed, "his actions have only brought ruin to the land!"
Kane yelled, "and let's not forget about what he's done to his, 'family.'"
"You all want to know the truth? The Savage ages aren't like how Belos and his coven said they are", Willow shouted.
Gus yelled, "they were times of peace! Where the Jedi order guarded the land from every danger! They fought for peace and justice! Until Belos tried to eradicate them!"
Everyone gasped.
Bump asked, "why would the Emperor try to wipe out the Jedi?"
Kane said, "why else? Power! He only wants to control the realm! And if we don't stand up against him, the land is doomed!"
"If you all stand up to him…. The Jedi can become the peacekeepers of the Boiling isles again", Luke shouted.
Leia yelled, "the Boiling Isles will once again be at peace!"
Everyone was silent for a moment….
"Restore the Jedi Order!"
The kids smiled as they saw the people chanting!
"Restore the Jedi Order! Restore the Jedi Order!"
….
Down below.
Belos could hear the people chanting.
Anakin began chuckling and said, "it looks like the people aren't afraid of you anymore, Belos!"
"It's over Belos! You have lost", Luminara shouted.
Belos growled and said, "if I'm going down, I'm taking you all with me!"
"Luz, go save Eda! We'll handle Belos", Anakin shouted as he and the other Jedi activated their lightsabers.
Luz nodded and ran off as the Jedi engaged Belos!
"I'm going to make you pay for hurting my son and my wife", Anakin shouted in anger.
Belos growled in rage as he tried to slice up the Jedi!
But they all dodged his attack.
Ventress shouted, "why do you want the portal!?"
Belos yelled, "why else!? To control both realms!"
"We are not going to let that happen", Anakin shouted as he and the Jedi rushed to clash their sabers against Belos.
This was a fight for all of the Boiling Isles, as well as Anakin's family!
….
Luz was fighting off the Coven Scouts.
She had been able to use the plant spell to stop the statue that would petrify Eda.
"Stay away from her", Luz shouted in anger.
Eda and King were excited to see Luz as she had arrived to save them.
….
Back on the Jedi Cruiser.
Sam was still asleep and then he heard…. Voices.
'Sam…. You must help your family', Revan said.
Sam's consciousness began to return as his worry for his family rose to the surface.
Sam's skin slowly started to turn blue….
'Sam…. There is a way for you to control this form….', Revan said.
Sam asked, 'h-h-how!?'
Revan asked, 'remember all the times you transformed into this form?'
'I let my fear and anger get…. The best of me', Sam said.
'Then you must control your anger in order to control your beast form', Revan said.
Sam's skin was starting to turn even more blue…. But his eyes were still closed.
'Suppress your fear…. Control your anger…. And you will be able to control the beast within you', Revan said.
Sam fists clenched.
'And save the ones you love….', Revan said.
Sam's eyes opened…. And they were now a burning purple color!
Sam rose up as everyone took a step back.
Hordak whispered, "Sam?"
Sam removed the wire connecting him and Hordak and handed it to said husband.
Sam then started to float and then created a hole in the wall, and flew out!
He landed on the battlefield, right between the Jedi and Belos!
"Sam", Anakin shouted in both relief and horror.
Sam turned to his father and smiled, saying, "hello dad. Good to see you."
Anakin asked in joy, "Sam!? You can control it now?"
Sam smirked and said, "yep. Now, let's show this bastard what it means when you mess with the Skywalkers!"
Anakin smirked as well.
Sam could see Belos looked shocked.
Sam taunted, "what's wrong Belos? Aren't you surprised to see me?"
Belos shook his head for a moment and growled, "I'm going to finish what I started with your mother!"
Sam's body was covered in a red glow as he flew towards Belos. He started backhanding the tyrant several times before punching him into the ceiling!
Belos tried to defend himself…. But he was failing!
Miserably, on top of that!
Belos, in one last attempt, used his magic to summon Luz.
"Hey, let me go", Luz shouted in fear.
Belos yelled, "open the portal for me! Now! Or I will make every day you live a horrible experience!"
"Let Luz go", Anakin shouted in anger.
Belos yelled, "NOT UNTIL I GET WHAT IS MINE!"
Luz then took out the key and summoned the portal….
Belos began cackling insanely as Luz gave a heartbroken look.
"You haven't won, Belos", Luz said as she glared at him.
On the Portal were fire glyphs!
Belos screamed, "NO!"
But it was too late! The portal caught fire as Belos dropped Luz, who cried at the sight of her only way home being destroyed.
Sam used his magic to bring Luz to him.
"Let's get Eda and get the hell out of here", Anakin shouted.
Sam smashed the ground around them in order to create a field of smoke that covered their escape!
Luke, Leia and Kane fought off the scouts.
….
Eda and the others in the cage were freed.
"Eda!"
Eda turned to see…. The others running towards her, with Sam, Anakin and Luz in the lead.
Anakin asked, "are you okay honey?"
"Never felt better", Eda said with a smile on her face.
"Come on, we have to go", Luz shouted.
The group began running as a cruiser arrived in front of them!
Echo popped his head out and yelled, "did somebody call a taxi cab?"
The others ran inside.
"Go", Sam shouted.
The cruiser began to rush off as fast as it could as coven scouts kept shooting at it!
Kikimora glared at the cruiser.
….
"Restore The Jedi Order!"
The crowd kept shouting.
The coven scouts couldn't stop the resistance that had begun to form against them!
Kikimora then saw Belos appear.
She said, "Lord Belos, rest assured that I will make up for the failure and betrayal of Lilith."
Belos was silent for a moment until…. He angrily screamed into the air, the ground around him cracking from the force of his anger!
The crowd all stood back in fear.
Even if they were 100% behind the Jedi, they were still terrified of Belos.
Kikimora asked in fear, "my lord?"
Belos growled, "I want you to send every Coven Scout to gain back control of this land! And I want the Jedi dead!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd started to shout.
"Restore the Jedi Order!"
"Restore the Jedi Order!"
"Restore the Jedi Order!"
"Restore the Jedi Order!"
"Restore the Jedi Order!"
"Restore the Jedi Order!"
Belos could feel his anger growing even more…. Kikimora said, "my Lord, perhaps we should go inside and rest after such a battle?"
Belos nods his head as he now has to think of a new plan…. For the Jedi had ruined his plans yet again.
….
On The Jedi Cruiser.
Sam had returned to normal and he was quickly tackled into a bear hug by his father.
Anakin said, "I thought I'd never see you again."
Sam held his father and said, "I knew you'd all come for me…. I never lost hope."
"Sam!"
Sam was tackled to the ground by Luke, Leia and Kane.
Sam hugged all three close and said, "it's so good to see you again."
"We're so happy that you're safe", Luke said as he hugged his brother.
"We were so worried about you and mom", Leia said as she joined in the hug.
"But thank the force, you two are okay", Kane said.
Sam smiled as he hugged the three kids.
Sam then stood up.
Sam asked, "where's Aunt Eda?"
Anakin said, "she's talking to, ugh, Lilith…."
Sam growled in anger, "Lilith!? What is she doing here!?"
Luminara replied, "believe it or not, but she went out of her way to help Eda and King."
Sam's eyes went wide.
"She had learned that Belos had no intention of healing Eda's curse…. She turned against him", Ventress said.
Wrecker said, "about damn time that she figured out who the good guys are."
Crosshair said, "but does one good deed truly make up for what she's done?"
The rest of the Jedi thought about it as well…. Lilith has indeed done many bad things in the past.
"We will see when we get back to the Rogue Isles", Rex said.
The group nodded at Rex's words as they continued on back to the Rogue Isles.
Sam then entered the room where his husbands were waiting for him.
"Sam", Hordak and Prime said as they went over to hug him.
Sam hugged them as tightly as he could, saying, "I knew you'd come for me."
Sam then kissed his husbands on the lips.
Hordak and Prime smiled as they said, "we'd never leave you behind."
Sam asked, "how are the kids?"
Prime said, "very worried about their papa."
"I can't wait for them…. I can't wait to hold them in my arms", Sam smiled.
Hordak said, "and I bet they can't wait for you to hold them all."
Sam smiled as he hugged his husbands.
Prime asked, "what did Belos do to you?"
Sam sighed and said, "he tried to break me…. But there was something that kept me from cracking…."
Hordak asked, "and what's that?"
Sam answered, "my family."
Prime and Hordak held Sam closer to them.
Sam said, "I love you both…. So much."
We love you too...little imp." Prime and Hordak said together with smiles on their faces.
….
Rogue Isles.
Ahsoka and her siblings along with the rest of the witches and Jedi were waiting to see the others come back.
"I see the cruiser", Galen said in joy.
Everyone gathered around as the cruiser landed, and it opened up to show Wrecker yelling, "we came! We saw! We kicked their asses!"
Everyone chuckled at Wrecker's enthusiasm.
"Thank the force you all are okay", Kit Fisto said.
The various Jedi and clones ran to the others, and Ahsoka and her siblings were dancing on their heels as they saw Hordak and Prime helping Sam out of the cruiser.
"DAD", Ahsoka and her siblings squealed in joy as they ran to their father.
Sam happily spread his arms out and was tackled to the ground.
Ahsoka and her siblings were crying tears of joy as they hugged their father!
Sam hugged them close, turning into his beast form so he could put his arms around all of them in one giant hug.
"Dad! We missed you so much", Aiden cried.
"We thought we'd never see you again", Marek cried.
Sam smiled and said, "I'll never leave you kids…. Ever…."
"We're happy you're back", Padme cried.
"Dad", Beru cried.
"We love you", Galen cried.
Sam smiled with tears in his eyes and said, "I love you too."
Everyone smiled at the reunion.
"Eda", Anakin and Luz said in fear.
Sam turned around to see his Aunt Eda lying on the floor.
"Don't worry, Eda. I'll run and get you some elixir and...", Anakin said but Lilith cut him off.
"No amount of elixir can heal her now", Lilith said in sadness.
Anakin growled, "this is all your fault, you evil bitch!"
Lilith looked down and said, "you're right…. It is…. And I may not be able to make up for everything I did…. But maybe what I do next will be a start…. Oh Sister", she cups Eda's face, "I should have done this a long time ago", her forehead touches Eda's forehead, "with this spell declared, let the pain be shared."
Lilith and Beast Eda glow blue and float. Their gems glow…. Their eyes changed so each of them had one grey eye, and their gems were both half black.
Lilith now willingly shared Eda's curse!
Anakin asked, "Eda?"
Luke, Leia and Kane said, "Mom?"
Eda looked down to see that she was mostly back to normal as Lilith cried and said, "I'm so sorry…. I was horrible. A horrible sister, witch and friend…. You deserve a far better family them me…. And I'm glad you have it…. And I promise…. If you want me to leave…. I'll never bother you again…."
Eda was silent for moment.
"I don't forgive for all the things you've done…. Yet…. And if you want to prove yourself…. That you are willing to become a better person...", Eda said with a small glare on her face.
Lilith looked at her with a nod.
"The Jedi will give you a trial…. To see if you can be trusted", Eda said.
Lilith nodded and said, "I'll do whatever they ask of me. I want to be a better person. For you, and for myself."
Eda then turned to see her family.
Eda asked, "Ani? Sam? Guys? What do you think?"
Anakin said, "I may hate Lilith with a burning passion of two suns…. But I respect your choice Eda. Let's see if she can prove us wrong."
Sam sighed as he crossed his arms.
"You better not do anything to harm anyone on the Isles…. Cause if you do Lilith…. Trust me, you don't want to find out", Sam warned.
Lilith nodded, completely understanding his words.
"As for now Lilith…. You are to be placed in a cell…. Until we can know we can trust you", Aayla said.
Lilith said, "I understand. I'll submit to whatever you plan to do with me."
Rex and Hunter walked over to Lilith and cuffed her.
Hunter took Lilith's staff.
"Come on", Aayla said.
Lilith had her head hang low as she knew it would take a while for everyone to trust her.
But she would bear through every second of it, since she had finally begin to realize that she needed to change. That she wanted to change.
Anakin asked, "Eda, how are you feeling?"
Luz asked, "can you still do magic?"
Eda tried to preform a spell, but nothing happened.
She said, "we'll that's a nope."
"Don't worry mom…. We'll find a way to help you", Kane said.
Eda smiled as she hugged her children and kiss Anakin on the lips.
Today had indeed been an eventful day for the Jedi and Skywalker family…. But it seemed that the worst was behind them, for now….
