Anakin Skywalker's POV
Obi-Wan ran forward as Ahsoka collapsed. He flung his cloak aside and bent to check on her. She was still alive but in immediate danger. However, I was already there, my face full with anger. "You turned her against me!" I hollered, accusing my former mentor.
"You have done that yourself," he told me. "You've let the dark side twist your point of view until now... Now you are the very thing you swore to destroy."
"Don't make me kill you," I growled.
"My allegiance is to the Republic, Anakin. To Democracy!" Obi-Wan shouted.
"You are either with me or you are against me." I replied.
"Only a Sith Lord deals in absolutes, Anakin." he spoke to me and ignited his weapon. "But I shall do what I must."
I felt my face twist as I ignited my lightsaber and the battle began.
"Don't make me destroy you!" I warned him, then, I sneered. "You're no match for the dark side."
"I've heard that before, Anakin," Obi-Wan said, "But I never thought I'd hear it from you."
The duel continued. Crossing the collection pipe was difficult even for us Jedi. At one point, Obi-Wan slipped and nearly fell into the lava but his Jedi reflexes and his ability let him recover. On the far side, I rushed him again, driving Obi-Wan back onto the collection plates.
I was, then, standing on a worker droid, coming up fast towards Obi-Wan. "Your combat skills have always been poor," I taunted. "You're called the Negotiator because you can't fight!"
"I have failed you, Anakin," Obi-Wan admitted. "I was never able to teach you to think."
I nodded. "I should have known the Jedi were planning to take over. That's why you wanted Shmi to be taken away from the Temple, so she doesn't become powerful like me. The Jedi feared us that we may take over!"
"From the Sith!" Obi-Wan roared, shocked. "Shmi is a perfect little angel! I didn't want her to be taken out of the Order! It was the Chancellor's idea! Chancellor Palpatine is evil!"
"From the Jedi point of view!" I retorted. "From my point of view it is the Jedi who are evil."
My former master made a soaring leap into the air and landed on the high bank of the river.
"It's over, Anakin." he announced, looking down. "I have the high ground now. Don't try it."
"You underestimate my power!" I shot back and with the last word, I jumped.
Once I was in mid-air, I was electrocuted and crumpled to the ground.
Darkness consumed me... Pitch black thoughts were blank. Suddenly, I heard Shmi's laughter echo as memories from my early life and present life flashed before my eyes.
Obi-Wan Kenobi's POV
I stood there, shocked of what just happened. The hot air blew harshly against us, making my eyes irritate. I turned around and saw Ahsoka standing with a stun gun. She had tears in her eyes as she eyed Anakin.
Ahsoka Skywalker's POV
I dropped the weapon and fell to my knees, sobbing. I just hurt my husband... My heart ached as I saw him on the ground unconscious.
Obi-Wan came up behind me but I shook him off and raced towards Anakin. I turned him until he laid on his back, brushing his cheek.
"Ani..." I wept, placing my hand on top of his chest as I tried to feel pulse. "Please, wake up."
He twitched his fingers in response and groaned.
I laughed quietly, relieved, and cried with happiness. "He's okay!" I whispered as Obi-Wan picked him up to place him in the medical room.
I stayed with Anakin while Obi-Wan piloted the ship.
I began to hum a random song of Breaking Benjamin as I held his hand.
Why did you have to do this, Anakin? Please, come back to me in your normal-self, with your blue eyes and great personality.
"Sing the anthem of the angels
and say the last goodbye.
I keep holding onto you,
But I can't bring you back to life. Sing the Anthem of The Angels.
And say the last goodbye." I whispered in his ear, tears rolling down my cheeks.
Anakin Skywalker's POV
Ahsoka's voice relaxed me as she sang with great emotion. Her beautiful voice was music to my ears.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw her, sobbing against my chest. Without making a sound, I lifted up my hand and stroked her rear lekku.
She looked up, her eyes widen as she saw me.
"Leave me alone.
God, let me know.
I'm blue and cold.
Black sky will burn.
Love, pull me down.
Hate, lift me up.
Just turn around.
There's nothing left.
Somewhere far beyond this world. I feel nothing anymore." I smiled, continuing to stroke her headtails.
Ahsoka immediately embraced me and cried. She kept on telling me that she was so sorry of what she did and the pain that she caused me.
"Ahsoka, nothing's your fault." I told her, pulling back so our eyes could meet. "I was not myself and you tried to bring me back but I was too much of an idiot to go back to you and leave the dark side..."
She smiled weakly. "Let's forget what happened, Anakin. We still have many years to live and I want to spend every moment with my husband." Ahsoka kissed my cheek as she ran her hand through my hair.
"I love you." I said passionately, eyeing her and, then, her stomach.
She rubbed her torso slowly as she followed my gaze. "I love you, too."
