Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my last chapter. I said I would like your suggestions for the voices of OC characters like Erik, Fenrir and Dominic. I was thinking about Sam Witwer, Todd Haberkorn, Steve Blum or Nolan North voicing the Lone Wolf, not because they are some of my favorite voice actors, but because they have voiced some of my favorite characters who are badass. Wolverine, Nathan Drake, Natsu and Starkiller. Should have made that a bit clearer.
Well, its time for the final battle before the story reaches its happy ending. Question for you, how many of you remember the scenes in Yugioh when Rafael learns that Dartz, the last king of Atlantis was responsible for all the tragedies that he Valon and Alister had suffered in their lives and the scene in Transformers Prime where our favorite scout is seemingly killed and comes back to life? Well you'll be seeing scenes similar to those in this chapter.
Onto reviews:
1049: Glad you liked the last chapter and the fight between Tarkin and Robert. That is something I have played out time and time again in my head to figure out the best way to do it. Plus, I love Scorpions classic line.
42: I am thinking about taking down and rewriting what I have currently posted for Mobile Suit Rwby, start my RWBY story, Power Rangers/ Miraculous Ladybug crossover, Transformers Armada/Gundam Seed crossover, or try something else. Haven't really thought that far ahead. Maybe I might even try this idea I have been tossing around about a Power Rangers Lost Galaxy/Fairy Tail crossover I have been thinking about. Or something involving Captain Rex, Starkiller, Ahsoka and maybe Barriss.
Mpowers045: Haven't watched the Percy Jackson movies or got into the series when it first came out, seeing as I was more into stuff like Halo, Star Wars, Call of Duty and Starship Troopers. Sorry.
TheEpsilonCommander: Like I said about the guy who played Percy Jackson, I haven't watched the Flash or Glee so I wouldn't know what the guys sounds like. Sorry.
BlastertheHedgehog: Trust me, I have planning on killing Tarkin for some time. It was just a matter of putting it in at the right time.
Spartan-626: I am glad you liked the last chapter and the final boss battle as you call it will be one to remember. Not sure how long I will make it, but I will try my hardest, that's all anyone can do when writing fanfiction.
Reviews done, time to get the ball rolling. Disclaimers are the same as always, please enjoy.
Chapter 49: Duel of Fates
September 21st 2020 19BBY
1400 hours
New York City, United States
Normal point of view
"Fall back, fall back!" a Black Tusk rifleman shouted before they took a blaster bolt to the chest, killing them. Stepping over the dead body, Treadshot quickly took cover behind a wrecked taxi cab and began to lay down covering fire, allowing Ryder and a squad of troopers to move up and hit an LMB machine gun squad that was blocking their advance up the street.
"Keep it up boys! This is the last battle to end the war! We'll get through this together!" Treadshot shouted before lobbing a grenade towards several incoming battle droids. The grenade exploded, blowing the droids to scrap metal allowing the Dinobots to charge forwards with the Bad Batch, Delta Squad, Omega Squad and Gregor following them.
"YEAH! BRING IT ON!" Wrecker shouted, grabbing one battle droid with his left hand and firing his DC-17 ICWS at the enemy with his right. His brothers followed suit with attacking the enemy forces with the courage that of the famed Harlem Hellfighters.
In another section of the city, Rahm Kota and his Militia teamed up with the forces from Israel, Iran, Iraq, Japan, Australia, England, Russia, France and Germany in taking out several enemy walkers and mech squadrons from entering the city limits. Leaping into the air with the aide of the Force, Kota thrusted his lightsaber into the cockpit of an enemy Ragnarök mech, killing the pilot before he turned the massive machine in the direction of its allies after setting it to autopilot.
The mech fired its complete arsenal, minus the Defoliator cannon at the enemy forces, taking down dozens of enemy units before it was destroyed. The destroyed mech then fell forwards, crushing several droid tanks and enemy infantry. "Sergeant, take several squads of soldiers with rocket launchers and get in that building. Get some rockets on those enemy tanks!" Kota said to one of the nearby French soldiers while he deflected blaster fire back at the enemy forces before he surged forwards and slashed several enemy soldiers with his green blade.
"Roger general!" the French man said and gathered as many allied soldiers as they could gather and led them into the building Kota picked out. Minutes later, a barrage of rockets streaked towards the enemy tanks, destroying them and killing anyone who was close enough to the explosion.
Yoda, Luminara and the 41st elite legion along with Aayla, the 327th and Kit pushed back several enemy battalions that were attempting an amphibious assault from the harbor preventing the enemy from landing reinforcements which could have pushed the allied forces out of the city.
Plo led Wolf Pack, Strider Squadron, Spare Squadron and other pilots in protecting the allied ships from Kamikaze's and taking out any enemy bombers that were attempting to provide close air support for their ground forces while friendly A-10C's, F15E's, F/A-18's, F-16's, SU-34's and other aircraft provided friendly close-air-support.
Nick Rye and several other pilots from Hope County, having fired the last of their missiles at several enemy fighters fired their .50 caliber machine guns and 20mm cannons at several enemy TU-95, TU-160 and B-52 bombers overloaded with bombs before they could get within range of the Big Apple too drop their payloads on the city, with the intention of destroying the entire city. "This is something I'll be telling Carmina when she's old enough!" Nick said, releasing the trigger of his F-8 Crusaders guns before climbing up to avoid the wreckage of the downed bomber.
The other pilots from every legion and military each reported the same thing Nick encountered. Dozens of enemy bombers were overloaded with bombs were flying towards the city with every intent on destroying the city completely, but because of the overload of the amount of ordnance they were slower than usual and easy targets for the allied fighters.
The 91st legion along with the Midgarda, pirate forces and other volunteers rescued several pinned down allied forces while the Ghost Recon members and other military special forces soldiers secured high-value targets who were known to have intel regarding all of the crimes that Gunray and his cohorts had done on earth.
The defectors from the LMB, Chinese and North Korean Forces, with their bayonets fixed on their weapons charged their former comrades, shooting, stabbing or bashing their old allies with their weapons while several Nite-Owls rained blaster fire down on the enemy from the air, followed by rockets from their Z-6 jetpacks.
In another section of the city, Itami, Third Recon, Fordo, the Muunulist 10, 501st, 212th, Lennox, Epps under the command of Obi-Wan and Fenrir pushed the droids back as they made their way into the UN courtyard. "It appears that this battle is almost won. All we need too do now is…" Obi-Wan began before he sensed a disturbance in the force. "Oh no." Obi-Wan said before Cody saved his life from a grenade the general failed to notice.
"Something wrong, General?" Cody asked, blindly firing his DC-15 back at the droids.
"The dark side is growing strong! Its Robert, he's about to give into the dark side!" Obi-Wan stated, as Rex joined up with him. "Rex, Cody. I'm going on ahead! I'll leave the battle here to you and Fenrir!" Obi-Wan said to the two troopers. Both nodded their heads and watched as Obi-Wan leapt over the enemy soldiers before he leapt into the air, commandeered an enemy STAP and pushed the controls forward trying to get to the top of the building.
Other Jedi sensed the same thing while on top of the UN HQ, Robert, Kasumi, Ahsoka and Anakin stared down Sidious who wasn't even the slightest bit concerned about the current situation. "Welcome to our doom? Hate to break it too you old man, but your entire plan is coming to ruin all around you. Dark Star is dead, the Republic knows who you really are, the people of Earth have come together too kick your ass and your transport is nothing but a flaming wreck." Kasumi said, counting off the reasons Sidious was going to lose with her fingers just as Obi-Wan leapt off his 'borrowed' repulsorlift vehicle.
"Darth Sidious. In the name of the Galactic Republic you are under arrest. Surrender and perhaps you may get a fair trial." Obi-Wan said to the Sith Lord, pulling his sabers into his hands but refrained himself from igniting them.
"We've ruined your big moment. Years of planning down the crapper and so many plans not going to happen. There's nowhere for you too run, so do the smart thing and surrender." Robert added. Too their surprise, Sidious just laughed as if he hadn't lost at all.
"You simple minded fouls. You haven't won, you only delay the inevitable. Tell me, have any of you ever wondered how I was able to take over Earth so easily? It's because I have been here before." He stated. "Not only that, numerous Sith Lords before me have sent artifacts and other items too this planet as a means of hoping that someone on this planet would build a powerful army, loyal to the Sith cause." He added.
"You mean too tell me that the ancient Sith came to Earth and left behind items hoping for someone to follow their teachings?" Anakin asked in surprise.
"You expect us too believe that shit?!" Robert demanded.
"I suppose I'll have to spell it out for all of you. During the early days of the old Republic, the ancient Sith Empire launched countless expeditions into the unknown regions in an effort to find an advantage over the Jedi order and Republic. This planet is one of the finds. The Sith kept records of every planet they discovered and have kept a close eye on them, especially planets with life." He explained before turning to Robert.
"I have always kept an eye on Earth, hoping to use it as a backup plan in case I was exposed before I could become Chancellor of the Republic. Everything that has happened is as I transpired it. Those that found out my identity were disposed of before they could report me. Your mother was one of them." he added.
"Well it appears you failed and she survived. She gave birth to me and I'm going to help stop you from achieving this dream of yours." Robert spat, gripping his lightsabers tightly.
Sidious cackled before he continued. "Of course, I know that you fool, that's why I came too Earth and tie up any loose ends." He said. This took Robert aback.
"No, you didn't…" Robert began before Sidious ended his cackle.
"Yes. I was the one who murdered your mother. I had always assumed she would try to return to Jedi and expose me with the evidence she gathered on me, so I had Maul sabotage her ship. But she survived and crashed here on this planet. I had assumed she was killed, but I sensed her presence so I tracked her and killed her. But then I noticed she had a son. One just as powerful as Revan." he said.
"I continued to keep an eye on you over the years and realized that your life was too perfect. Family is nothing but a hindrance so I had taken steps to ensure that you had something to encourage you to fall to the dark side. The death of your adoptive family was caused by a well place spark of force lightning on the gas pump that killed them was done by me. The attempts of trying to turn you into a super soldier by a terrorist group was done so with technology I provided them. Everything you had suffered through your entire life was done by me!" Sidious stated.
(Seal of Orichalcos activation starts)
Everyone was taken aback by the revelation. The mastermind behind the blockade of Naboo, the rise of the Separatists and the Clone War had also been the one who destroyed Roberts life, but him through so much, pain, suffering and misery.
All across the city, other Jedi felt the same thing Obi-Wan had felt, a strong surge in the dark side and it was about to get worse.
Like a Volcano building pressure before it blew, Roberts anger had built up to the point of an explosion. "YOU RUINED MY LIFE!" Robert roared, igniting his lightsabers as his eyes turned yellow. Again, the Lone Wolf had tapped into the dark side of the force. "YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME! MY MOTHER! MY FRIEND! HER FAMILY! I'M GOING TOO KILL YOU!"
(End song)
Surging forwards with the power of the darkness flowing through him, Robert attempted to take down the man who took those he cared greatly. Unfortunately, Sidious anticipated this and with a simple flick of his wrist, sent Robert falling off the building and plummeting down to the ground below. "You should have anticipated such a thing." Sidious said before picked up the fallen STAP with the force and used it too track his foe, leaving behind Anakin, Ahsoka, Kasumi and Obi-Wan at a lose for words before a gunship landed on the rooftop. Once they boarded the gunship, the pilot reported that Sidious was attempting too flee the battlefield, no doubt going for a second shuttle he had hidden somewhere in the city.
As for Robert, the darkness inside of him continued to grow at the revelation that the enemy that had hidden himself from the Jedi was behind the deaths of his friend, her family and his mother, pressed a button on his gauntlet and summoned the Freedom which opened up, allowing him to climb inside the battle armor, saving himself from falling to his death.
Once it was powered up, he activated the battle armors thrusters and soon spotted Sidious felling the ongoing battle with several dozen droid fighters escorting him. He then spotted the gunship that was following the enemy leader. "He's mine!" he said to himself with a snarl and gunned the battle armors thrusters to full power, following the gunship and the one who killed his mother.
"General Skywalker. We've got enemy fighters on our tail." The gunship pilot shouted, firing the gunships twin laser cannons taking out two droid fighters ahead of them while cannon fire from several enemy MIG-21's trailing them flew past the cockpit. The gunship weaved through the enemy cannon fire, but some of the shots hit the gunships blast doors. Thankfully, the gunship was still able to fly, but one of the enemy MIG's had acquired a missile lock and fired.
Time seemed too slow down as the missile was destroyed by a green laser blast from behind the MIG's. Hot on the tail of the MIG's was the Freedom, operated by a very pissed off Lone Wolf. The Gundam like battle armors pulse laser cannons roared to life and rained death on the enemy delta winged aircraft, some of which performed a cobra maneuver getting behind the Freedom and began to fire their 23mm cannons at the Freedom, denting its armor with cannon marks. "YOU FISHBEDS ARE REALLY STARTING TO PISS ME OFF!" Robert roared, turning around and brought the battle armors plasma cannons, railguns and pulse lasers too full power and fired at the enemy fighters.
The remaining enemy fighters were destroyed in mid-air, pieces falling down to the ground below. Once he confirmed all the enemy fighters were destroyed, he turned his attention back towards the fleeing Sith Lord and increased his thrusters back to full power and followed them.
Speaking of said Sith Lord, Sidious's escorts were destroyed by the gunship trailing him but thankfully he was able to jump off his speeder craft and landed on top of a cargo ship dead in the water in the middle of the Hudson River. He watched as the gunship landed and his four opponents exited the craft. "It appears that the Lone Wolf is a slow. No matter, I'll deal with him when he arrives." He said to his foes, who ignited their lightsabers.
"You won't lay your hands on him. Not while we still draw breath!" Kasumi stated, gripping her sabers in the reverse grip position like Ahsoka did. Obi-Wan and Anakin gripped their own lightsabers and readied themselves for battle.
"Your threats don't scare me. Skywalker will be more powerful then any of us." Sidious stated, igniting his remaining saber and held in the ready position.
(Blow Me Away, starts)
"I'll tell you the same thing I told Krell on Umbara. I'll never turn to the Dark Side. I'm a Jedi, now and forever. Nothing you do will get me to betray them." Anakin declared. Sidious, seeing that he wasn't going to get through to Anakin decided if he couldn't convince Skywalker with words, then killing his friend and former padawan in front of his eyes would do nicely.
"So be it, Jedi." Sidious said and grabbed a few shipping containers towards the group. All four of them sliced the containers in half, but Sidious leapt towards the group and the duel began.
Sidious parried a strike from Kasumi's sabers before he kneed her in the gut, lifted her with the force and threw her into a few wooden crates, knocking her out. "Those who don't know the ways of the force should stay out of matters of the force." Sidious said and blocked a strike from Ahsoka, pushing her back.
"I'll start with the nuisance first!" he snarled and prepared to bring his saber down on Ahsoka. His attempt was blocked by the blades of Obi-Wan and Anakin. "It will take more then you two too stop me!" he yelled.
"No problem!" A voice echoed around as the Freedom barrel towards the ship. Once it was a few feet away from the ship, it opened up and Robert jumped onto the ship, delivering an airborne roundhouse kick to Sidious's face. "I'm going to enjoying tearing you apart!" Robert snarled and went after his opponent. Obi-Wan and Anakin would have joined him, but they soon cutoff by several Magna Guards that came out of the lower levels of the ship.
Consumed by rage and revenge, Roberts attacks were ferocious each one more deadly than the last. "First my mother. Then Courtney and her family. Mina Bonteri, Lux's father, Dutch, Duke, Blake, my squadron. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TOO SUFFER BECAUSE OF YOUR LUST FOR POWER!" he roared, clashing his blades with Sidious's saber.
"As many as I see fit! Those that are a threat to my plans must be eliminate! Your mother was so pathetic. When I killed her, she told me that I would be betrayed by one of my own. I had not foreseen that Dooku would abandon the teachings of the Sith and start to return to the ways of the Jedi. Truly he was a pathetic apprentice." Sidious spat, swinging his saber trying to take Roberts head off.
Robert ducked and slid underneath the Sith Lords robes and snarled at the comment Sidious made about Dooku. "SO, YOU ONLY SAW HIM AS AN EXPENDABLE PAWN! THE SAME THING APPLIES TO GUNRAY RIGHT!? YOU WOULD HAVE KILLED THEM WHEN THEIR USFULLNESS HAD COME TO AN END?" Robert shouted, his anger building more and more.
"Everyone is expendable. Much like those clones you call brothers." Sidious stated. This time, he was attacked by Ahsoka from behind, but he managed to counter it. "So, the Togruta is still alive? When I am finished with the two of you, I'll kill Kenobi, then Skywalkers wife and children." He gloated.
"I won't let you." Ahsoka declared, but unlike the boy she loved, she didn't allow the dark side to control her actions. She preformed a series of Ataru and Niman saber strikes, keeping Sidious on his toes.
"HE'S MINE!" Robert yelled and leapt over Ahsoka's shoulders as Anakin and Obi-Wan finished off the last of the Magna Guards. Again, his attacks were fueled by his rage and anger towards the one who caused him so much suffering. He attempted to land a double strike on his opponent only to have Sidious land on the top of bridge of the ship. Robert leapt after him but Sidious grabbed a few small crates from the deck of the ship and threw them with the force. Seeing he was going to be hit; Robert sliced the crates in half. This gave Sidious the chance to lung forwards and attack with a series of Vaapad strikes, which Robert blocked with ease.
"Leave it to an old man to play dirty!" Robert snarled before he found himself and the Sith Lord in a saber lock. "Then again," he added and sweep kicked Sidious off his feet and too the ground. "A bastard like you doesn't know the meaning of the word honor." He added and tried to bring down his sabers on the Dark Lords head again. Again, he failed.
"Honor is for the weak." Sidious spat, bring his saber up too block the attack. He then jumped back to his feet before he leapt down to the deck as a Black Hawk helicopter arrived.
(End song)
Kasumi had regained conciseness and spotted the helicopter. Desperately, she tried to warn her friend but Robert ignored this and leapt into the air. "TIME FOR YOU TOO DIE!" Robert roared. No sooner had he did, a series of shots from the helicopter rang out and hit him in the back.
(Three shots/ Bumblebee's death, starts)
The weapon fired at him was an LMB M4 carbine, fired by Charles Bliss. Despite being hit, he turned around and threw one of his sabers at the helicopter's blades, destroying the chopper as his body landed on the deck of the ship hard. His thrown saber returned to his body, deactivated and lying by his side.
"NOOO!" Ahsoka yelled and rushed to his side. The body of the Lone Wolf skidded across the deck before it came to a stop just inches away from the side of the ship. "What were you thinking?" Ahsoka demanded.
Robert said nothing as his eyes closed and his pulse subsided. "No!" Ahsoka shouted again and started to cry. Anakin and Obi-Wan saw this and turned towards Sidious.
(End song)
"Finally! The last of the Shan's is dead." Sidious said, cackling with delight. Anakin however, saw Ahsoka's tears and felt something he hadn't felt in a long time; anger. He was angry that Sidious had been responsible for his mother's death, he was angry that the man he thought was his friend was only using him to further his own goals. He was angry that he had framed his former Padawan for a crime she didn't commit and now he was angry that the person who not only saved him from falling to the dark side and was the one Ahsoka loved was now dead.
Another gunship arrived and the Expendables and the rest of Roberts friends arrived and upon seeing this sight, fired all of their weapons at the Sith Lord who only stopped the bullets with the force, the rounds falling too the floor. "MOTHERFUCKER!" Barney shouted in anger.
Anakin glared towards the Sith Lord and deactivated his lightsaber. "You'll regret that Sidious." Anakin stated and called for Roberts sabers which he quickly ignited before putting them into the reverse grip Jar'Kai position that Robert preferred.
"Anakin! Don't attack him out of anger!" Obi-Wan shouted to his former padawan. Anakin just smiled and remembered what he was fighting for. His family, friends and the entire galaxy. "Don't worry, Obi-Wan. I won't." Anakin answered.
"I've had it up too here with you Sidious. The war is over. You've lost, now you have too pay for all you've done!" Anakin demanded the man he once considered to be like a father to him.
"I'll say it's over when I say its over Skywalker. And that's when I wipe you Jedi from the face of the galaxy myself." Sidious declared. He then thought of a way to either turn or destroy Anakin. "When I am finished with you, I'll kill your wife and children! And if you will not turn to the dark side, then perhaps they will!" he declared.
(Jedi's fury, starts)
Sidious than unsheathed a new lightsaber, similar to Anakin's first saber the only key difference being the blades color was red instead of blue. "I created this for you Skywalker, you'd be wise to except my offer and become my apprentice of your family suffers the consequences." Sidious said.
Anakin didn't listen and stood his ground as the rain started to pound the city. Sidious leapt into the air and brought his sabers against Anakin's borrowed sabers. Red, blue and green blades clashed against each other as two of the most powerful force users in the galaxy clashed against each other in the most brutal lightsaber duels of all time.
While Sidious's strength was powerful, Anakin was just as powerful but more in the light compared to the darkness that Sidious had mastered over the years. Anakin was able to relieve Sidious of his original saber and slammed his borrowed sabers into the new saber, destroying it similar to what Dooku did on Geonosis.
(End song)
Once again, Sidious played the part of the weak and helpless old man. "You were destined to destroy me. Do it, give into your anger." Sidious said, goading Anakin into taking his life. Instead, the Chosen One deactivated his sabers and just looked at the fallen Sith Lord.
"You're pathetic. You claim to be all powerful and yet you try to play the part of a weak old man. I can't believe I once thought of you like a father." Anakin said and walked away. He didn't notice Sidious smiling before he shot lightning towards Anakin who was taken by surprise and began to scream in pain.
Sidious than called forth his saber and slashed Anakin across the chest. The attack wasn't a kill attack, but it was enough to force Anakin to drop the sabers he was holding and grab onto the side of the ship. "Pathetic. Prepare to join your mother in hell." Sidious said, raising his saber yet again.
"SIDIOUS!" a voice from behind shouted. The dark lord turned around and much to his surprise saw Robert still alive and standing on his own two feet as he called his sabers back.
"HOW MANY TIMES MUST YOU DIE!?" Sidious shouted in rage, turning his attention away from Anakin who leapt back up onto the ship and ignited his saber. "YOU SHOULD BE DEAD!"
"It's a little something called Kevlar. Back in the UN, when Velvet and I torched that armory in the basement, I grabbed a bulletproof vest just in case. I had a vision about getting shot before Barriss got married, so I acted on that vision." Robert explained, removing his sleeveless hoodie and revealed the vest he mentioned. He then removed it and threw it too the ground. "The games over Sidious." He stated, glaring at the dark lord of the Sith.
Everyone onboard the ship connected too the force felt that Robert was not speaking out of anger, but in the tone, he was known for. "I hope you realize you're playing a very dangerous game, my boy." Sidious said.
"I made my choice when I entered the war. I'll never turn to the dark side and neither will Anakin. And when all is said and done, the Galaxy will finally be at peace." Robert stated, igniting his sabers with Anakin doing the same with his.
(Duel of Fates starts)
"You're a fool boy. You can't hope to beat me one on one!" Sidious said as he raised his hand and shot a stream of lightning towards Robert who rolled out of the way.
"I wouldn't bet on that. I've got right on my side and whoever said I was alone." Robert countered as Anakin, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan stood by his side with their sabers ignited.
"For all the good that will do. Now, prepare to meet your end!" Sidious spat and again launched a stream of lightning towards the four who rolled out of the way.
"Wrong Sidious, its your reign of evil that's ending!" Robert declared and gestured for the Sith Lord to come at them. Sidious did so in a burst of speed which seemed to produce more of him. "Great, you cloned yourself." Robert said with annoyance in his voice as he blocked the attack of one of the clones.
Obi-Wan and Ahsoka also blocked a series of strikes from the clones while Anakin engaged the real Sith Lord in battle. "We've been dancing this dance for far too long!" Anakin said with determination as he preformed an overhead strike on the Sith Lord. Sidious blocked the attack and attempted to land a punch in Anakin's gut, but the Hero with No Fear backflipped to avoid it.
"I too have grown weary of this 'dance' and now its time for us to finish this war once and for all." Sidious said in agreement, raising his saber for an attack.
"Give it your best shot! I can handle that and more!" Anakin challenged the Sith Lord. Sidious snarled and lunged at the Chosen One and attacked him with numerous Vaapad strikes towards Anakin who blocked each one.
Ahsoka countered the strike from one of the clones before she took its head off. Obi-Wan disarmed the clone he was dueling which continued to fight by sending blasts of Force Energy towards the Padawan of Qui-Gon Jinn. One of the blasts knocked Obi-Wan into a shipping container, briefly dazing the bearded Jedi Master before they called their saber back too them. However, Obi-Wan quickly defeated his opponent before they could even attack.
Robert also took care of his opponent, leading them to the side of the ship before he leapt behind the clone and cut them in half. "Stay dead!" he said to the dead clone and went to help Anakin.
"Why throw away your life so recklessly Skywalker? It's a pity it has to end like this." Sidious said to the former slave, this time attacking with a series of Ataru strikes. Each attack was fast as lightning but Anakin managed to dodge each of them.
"That's a question you should be asking yourself, Sidious!" Anakin countered, attacking with a flurry of Shien strikes, but Sidious raised his hand up to Anakin's chest and then shocked Skywalker, pushing him back a few feet. "I will defeat you!"
"Is that really all you got? You pathetic fool!" Sidious gloated before he blocked a strike from Robert. He then pushed Robert towards Anakin who was getting back to his feet.
"Good will always triumph over evil." Robert answered.
"You must be joking." Sidious spat in disgust.
"Even if you destroy us, you haven't won. Our loved ones will never stop fighting you and if they fall others will take their place. As long you care only about yourself and your lust for power, you'll have too take on the entire galaxy!" Anakin added to the Lone Wolfs statement.
"You will never win." Both warriors said at the same time.
"Even if you are right, which you're not there is still one thing I can do." Sidious began as he prepared too use Darkness finger. "I can be rid of the two of you!" he shouted and unleashed his attack on the two.
Sadly, his attack missed his targets who rolled out of the way. "We're just getting warmed up. You made a big mistake Sidious." Anakin declared, blocking his enemy's attacks with Soresu.
"You reminded us of what we have to fight for and why we will never stop fighting!" Robert added, joining in Anakin's attacks on the Sith Lord followed by Obi-Wan, Ahsoka and surprisingly Kasumi and Velvet.
"You cannot defeat me!" Sidious shouted towards the group of saber wielders.
"Try us." Velvet answered, holding Dooku's saber tightly in her hands. Everyone soon saw a series of flares launching from all over the city and the radio crackled too life that the enemy forces had surrendered or in the case of the droids had been destroyed.
"NO!" Sidious shouted in anger.
"Yet another of your plans has failed Sidious. Surrender while you still can and we can put an end to this pointless battle." Obi-Wan demanded.
"Oh Kenobi, you and Skywalker should know that I will never give up until one of us is still standing!" Sidious stated and pushed Kasumi and Velvet back into a container after the two blocked a lightning strike he sent their way.
"I'll destroy all who get in my way. I'll start with all of you, then I'll tear down the Jedi Order one by one until you are all dead." Sidious stated, attacking Robert, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka and Anakin with fury. He hit Obi-Wan in the shoulder and leg, wounding him before he knocked one of Roberts sabers out of his hand which fell back towards Barney. "I'll fulfill the destiny of the Sith and take control of the entire galaxy. I'll bring peace and stability to the galaxy and wipe out all those that stand in the way of progress." He added, after hitting Ahsoka in the shoulder.
"By starting wars and slaughtering countless innocent people! We won't let that happen! Freedom is the right of all sentient beings!" Robert shouted.
"Their only right is too serve those who are stronger than them!" Sidious countered and again disarmed Robert of his other lightsaber, this one landing close to the edge of the ship.
"The time for talk is over. ITS TIME TO FINISH THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!" Robert declared and charged up the force inside of him with out a lightsaber in hand. Ahsoka did the same thing, as did Obi-Wan after they managed to get back to their feet even after they were hurt. "THESE HANDS OF OURS ARE BURNING RED!" he shouted.
"THEIR LOUD CRY TELLS US!" Obi-Wan added.
"TOO GRASP VICTORY!" Ahsoka finished and each of them had an orb of energy which they sent to Anakin's saber.
"ERUPTING BURNING FINGER!" Anakin shouted and shot off like a rocket towards Sidious. "At last the galaxy will be rid of your tyranny!" he added and clashed his blade against Sidious's own blade. Sidious blocked the attacks to the best of his ability but failed. As he continued to block his opponents strikes, he saw the ghostly figures of Dooku, Linda, Grievous and all those he had used striking with Anakin. This caused him to lose focus long enough for Anakin to end the Sith Lords life.
(End Song)
"No, it can't end… this way. I am Sidious. The True… Lord of the Sith." Sidious said, gasping for breath.
"And so, you must be silenced." Anakin said, pulling his blade from Sidious' torso.
"You took my family; you will never rob anyone of anything again." Robert added, panting as he walked towards the fallen Sith Lord with Obi-Wan using him as a crutch.
Sidious raised his saber in an effort to give one final attack, but the life in his body left him and he fell down to the deck, dead. "Lone Wolf to all points, Sidious is dead. I repeat, Sidious is dead. Anakin has done it." Robert said into his commlink.
His message was heard all across the city and cheers from every single soldier and civilian echoed all around the world. Anakin walked to Robert and handed him his lightsabers. "I thought you were going to fall to the dark side." Anakin admitted.
"For a moment, I almost did. But after I got shot, Dooku came to me. He reminded me of what I was fighting for and it wasn't just him.
