Chapter 5- To Fight
"Fight for what you believe in with all your heart."
"No"
Startled Darth Siduos ignited his light saber.
"Then die."
Summoning her own saber Eva managed to block his blow just in time. Stumbling to her feet she continued to battle the Sith Master,
"The Dark Side is the only true power."
"Power, hah. You claim to be all powerful yet you failed to realize that I had been lying to you all this time." She asked bitterly jumping onto a high platform as the sith's saber passed right through were her feet and stood moments before.
Angry Darth Siduos sliced forcefully at the girl. Eva managing to block each attack.
Anakin. Obi-Wan. Anyone
She wouldn't be able to defend herself against the Sith for long.
The hum of the light sabers was distant to Eva as she called desperately into the force for help.
The clash of the sabers continued on, red against blue. Back and forth, back and forth.
Suddenly Palpatine swiped at her feet, startling her. Taken by surprise, Eva lost her balance causing Darth Siduos to knock her saber far from her hand.
Eva tried to summon her saber. The sith lowered his.
"You are foolish young one."
Eva screamed as a jolt of force-lightning hit her before she could summon her saber.
She writhed in agony biting her lip to stop the screams that desperately tried to escape her mouth.
Don't scream. It'll only make him happier.
The young girl grasped for anything. Anything to stop the pain, anything to hold on to.
Her eyes rolled back in her head as she detached her mind from her body. Letting her mind drift far away. Letting her mind drift home.
Be strong Eva.
"Dad?", she gasped deliriously.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
He sat suddenly up in bed.
"What is it, Hun." Asked Mara.
"It's Eva."
"Eva!" his wife sat straight up next to him. "What's happened to her?
"I don't know." Luke didn't like to lie to his wife but telling her the truth would've frightened her. He had known what was wrong. Eva was in pain.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Her mind came rushing back to her as another jolt of pain hit her frail body. She let a scream escape her lips.
I failed.
Relief came when to figures burst the door open. But the relief did not last for long as the Sith gathered himself again and sent another wave of force lightning at her. She looked at her surroundings. The bleak walls surrounded her. The icy cold marble floor beneath her body reflected her image.
Suddenly the pain stopped. Eva slumped forward, her head resting on the inside of her elbow, as she lay face down on the floor. Her blonde hair resting on the black marble. A man ran to her.
"Dad!." She rasped but her voice was no more then a whisper.
"Eva..." he said quietly, not hearing her whisper.
He checked for a pulse. It was weak, but it was there.
Dad? Is that you? She raised her head and looked at the man. No it isn't dad. Who was it? He looks sorta like dad.
Too tired to keep her head up she slumped back down.
"Anakin, a bit of help over here." Called the other man.
Anakin. Yes that's right.
…………………………………………………………………Flashback…………………………………………………………………
"Anakin. Obi-Wan. Anyone." Obi-Wan sat up startled. Who had called him.
The voice came again calling him and Anakin.
"Who's voice is that" he thought.
"Eva!"
He turned to his friend, Anakin.
"Ani, get up now." He yelled.
Anakin did as instructed.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Eva. She's in trouble."
"So what?"
"Ani, She called for us. We have to help her."
"So, she's never done anything for us."
"Ani, it is your duty as a Jedi."
"She can handle her own problems."
"Skywalker, she asked for your help. You can't let her die she's your-" Master Windu had been standing in the door way and he stopped before adding the final word.
'She's my what?"
"Granddaughter."
Anakin laughed.
"That's impossible I would've had to had kids the day I was born."
"She's from the future Skywalker."
"What!"
"She came back to save you. It is only right that you save her."
Anakin nodded in shock.
"Let's go Anakin." Said Obi-Wan.
…………………………………………………………End Flashback…………………………………………………………………
"Stay here." Whispered Anakin.
Oh sure. I'm very capable of just walking away.
Anakin ran to Obi-Wan's side, light saber ignited.
The two Jedi fought the Sith with all their might. And they were winning.
Suddenly Palpatine jumped onto a platform and jumped out of a low window.
Anakin and Obi-Wan ran after him but were to late.
"Go get Eva." Commanded Obi-Wan.
Anakin ran to the girl's side and picked her up with ease. He cradled her in his arms.
'Let's Go." Said Obi-Wan clutching Eva's light saber.
The Jedi hurried out of the building and back to the Jedi temple. Anakin laid Eva carefully on a bed.
"Will she be alright doctor." Asked Anakin.
"She should be fine. She might be weak for several days though.
Anakin nodded.
Where am I. Eva tried to sit up but couldn't.
"Here let me help you." Said Anakin.
"Thank You."
The two sat in silence for a few minutes.
"So you're my…I'm your…We're" said Anakin.
Eva laughed nervously.
"So they told you."
"Yeah, Master Windu did."
"What time is it?" she asked.
"Uhh about noon, you've been asleep for15 hours."
"Sorry."
"For what."
"I should've been awake earlier."
Anakin laughed.
"Awake earlier? The doctor said you should be a sleep for 2 days at least."
"I still shouldn't have slept that long. What if you needed my help here."
"Calm down Eva. You were hit with some nasty force lightning I've seen more experienced Jedis sleep later then you did after being hit with that."
Eva nodded. She jumped off the bed and grabbed Anakin's hand. She stumbled slightly but remained standing.
"Come on." She said.
"Sit down." He commanded.
'Why?"
"Because I said so."
"And what gives you the power to tell me what to do." She asked defiantly.
"Not much I guess…Oh wait there is that thing about me being your grandfather and all."
"You're not my grandpa yet, 'cause technically I don't exist yet. "
"Sit down anyway." He said.
She sat own the bed as told.
"Where did you wanna go anyway?" he asked.
"I need to practice my dueling. I can't let what happened yesterday happen again."
"What did happen yesterday." Asked Obi-Wan who had just walked in.
"He knocked my light saber out of my hand and then hit me with the lightning."
"But why did you go back. What happened between when you got there and when you got shocked with lightning?"
"Oh. I knew he would be there. So I went back. He wanted me to join the dark side. I needed time to come up with a plan so I led him on. I let him think I was going to join him. Right when he asked if I wanted to be his apprentice I said no. Of course he was angry. We went on fighting for several minutes. I guess telling him I had lied to him since the day I met him didn't help his anger but… Anyways I stumbled and lost my light saber. That's when the force lightning came."
Obi-Wan nodded, "Lied to him?"
"Yeah, I made it sound like I was angry at the order, and that I hadn't trained as a Jedi too much."
"Oh."
"Master Kenobi, Skywalker Palpatine has been spotted on. Come quickly." Said Master Windu running into the room.
"You'll be alright?" he asked Eva.
"Yeah, My dueling may be a bit rusty but you'll be there too." Said Eva standing up.
"What! You are not coming."
"Fine, I guess I could always sneak into the hangar and fly myself and then find Palpatine by myself." She said sighing, a small smile on her lips.
"Fine you can come but if you feel tired then you have to stay in the ship."
"Ok."
The three headed to the hangar. They shortly arrived.
"We're gonna have to split up." Declared Eva.
"No, you're too weak."
"I'll be fine. I call you if I need help."
"Fine but I don't like it." Sighed Anakin.
"I'll go right." Said Eva.
"I'll go left."
"I guess I'll go forward." Muttered Anakin.
The Jedi headed off in their different directions.
I don't like this place.
Eva stalked along the path.
I really don't like this place
She looked up at the man before here.
"We meet again." He spat.
"I suppose so." She said calmly back.
Anakin. Obi-Wan. I found him.
"I will accept your surrender." She said.
"Hah, you're just like that idiot Obi-Wan."
"Fine." She replied taking the black ribbon from her wrist and tying her hair back.
Palpatine ignited his light saber. Eva calmly ignited hers.
Darth Siduos attacked first, Eva managing to block it.
Where are you? Asked Anakin.
Look for light sabers.
The sith lunged at Eva startling her and causing her to do a back flip over his head.
"You could still join me."
"No!"
Eva stumbled away from Darth Siduos hiding behind inside a small structure. She tried to clear her mind. But her thoughts kept going back to Anakin.
"You can't hide forever."
Eva remained silent.
"Your feelings for your friends are strong. Especially for……your grandfather. So Anakin is your grandfather. If you don't join the dark side then perhaps he will."
"No!" she screamed rushing from her hiding spot.
"Good…good let the anger flow through you."
"No." she jumped atop the structure she had hidden in and lowered her weapon.
Anakin you better get your butt here now!
"No problem." He yelled jumping into the battle.
"Where's Obi-Wan?"
"Right here." Said Obi-Wan right on cue.
The three of them fought skillfully against the lone sith
"Eva look out." Called Anakin.
But it was too late. Darth Siduos' red blade swung down.
"Eva." Screamed Anakin.
A small cry escaped Eva's lips as she winced in pain.
I'm Ok. It was just my hand.
Are you sure you're alright.
Yeah. I'm officially a Skywalker now I guess?
Hmmm…?
I'll explain later.
Obi-Wan struck at the sith's feet while Anakin struck at his head. Unsure of which way to go Darth Siduos jumped to the side forgetting about the lava. He screamed in agony as his robes were engulfed in flame.
Eva turned from the sight. That was not something she wanted to see.
She lowered her light saber, as did the other two.
"Come on let's go."
Eva nodded following Obi-Wan.
They quickly made their way to the ship.
……………………/…………………/
AN: I forget where Obi-Wan fought Anakin so I just didn't put it in but that is where they are when Palpatine dies.
