Part 1 of the last chapter! The Beginning of the End (the next part will have a different title)

My forehead rested on my fist, as I had to listen to Mistan, right as we got back to the base. Even Tyranus looked annoyed. I really wasn't listening, but just hearing him go on and on how I could have been hurt worse, I knew why Tyranus always wants to kill him. Though Mistan was yelling, talking a little louder more or less, mostly at Tyranus, it felt as if he was scolding me at the same time. I took a deep breath, getting the feeling the floor had a more inviting look than either of the two siths. I glanced up at Tyranus. His stone cold look confirmed I was right. If Mistan was constantly like this, it's a wonder why Tyranus hasn't killed him yet just out of announce. Several options played out in my head, as I weighed the chances.

1.) Let Tyranus snap - 150.9% not good for anyone

2.) Intervene when Tyranus tries to kill Mistan - 0.000000000000001% works, 1000.5% my death

3.) Shut Mistan up now - way too many damn outcomes, Tyranus still looks like he wants to snap his neck, but - 4% no one gets killed, at least, 0.000001% Tyranus might respect me more.

I hate decimals. To hell with it. I looked at the ground again as my shoulders tightened.

"Mistan, Shut it!" I snapped. The small space dropped into a cold, dead silence. I lifted my head, a little angrily, to see both men staring at me, a little surprise lined both faces. I drug a hand over my face. "If you keep goin' like that, I might just take my chances with that Jedi." I mumbled, trying to be a little careful of the right side of my face. Tyranus's excretion lightened, almsot as if he thought 'she's finally catching on.' My glare went back and forth between them, looking above the edge of my hand. Mistan stormed to the door after the small ship docked, then turned around.

"Follow me Ria." I watched as Mistan's gaze dropped from the raw side of my face, to my right arm. It was still bandaged, along with my sides, but was mostly hidden by my shirt. My arm, and ribs were close to being broken from the explosion throwing me. If I wasn't busy trying to keep Mistan in sight, I would have figured out the was taking me to an on-base healer. It wasn't until Mistan pushed me in the door of her workspace, I realized it. I glared up at Mistan, who stood at my right. The lady was older, with her grey-white hair pulled back. But the look she gave Mistan told me she had a lot more in her than what seemed.

"What is it now Mistan? Did Tyranus give you the ol' one two agai-" She stopped abruptly once she noticed me, I looked over at her. "Ah.. A new face." I fully turned my head to her, revealing the right side of my face. "Mmhm. I can treat her."

"You can?" Mistan tried to hide the relief in his voice. He cleared his throat, deepening his voice as he repeated calmer. "You can?" The healer turned and glared at him.

"But first I need your big nose out of my way." She pointed an angry finger at him.

"Alright, I'll stay out of your way." He agreed.

"Oh, no, no. I mean out. Period. Shoo!" She swatted at Mistan until he left the room, and closed the door. My head started to hurt as she swiftly wattled back. The healer dropped to one knee, bowing her head. "It is an honor to serve you. I will to the best of my ability."

Is it just me, or is this actually happening? I think I'm finally losing it. Yup. My head hurts so much I'm seeing things. That's what's happening.

She stood, and lifted my bandaged hand, and looked over my raw face.

"Did anyone do this to you?" Concern wrinkled on her face.

"What do you mean?" I think I did. Maybe. Probably not.

"I couldn't find myself to believe Mistan to do this. Tyranus may be capable of anything. But he would do worse."

If I wasn't lost before, I definitely am now, and my pounding head really didn't help anything. The healer started to feel my arm, when she hit a sore spot, I pulled it away from her.

"Hmm. Can you sit on the counter for me?"

Sit on a counter. Like a little kid. Hell no. But my pounding head really wasn't making standing all that great either. So reluctantly, I walked over to the counter, and lifted myself onto it. The healer laughed a little.

"Those bucketheads aren't too enthused with that order either." Then she handed me a container of a paste like thing, the same type of red as my shirt. "Put that on, it'll cover up better than that powder."

I looked down to see that some of my symbol was showing a little. I wiped off what currently was on my shirt, and put the new stuff on, as the lady prepared medicine. She then took off the bandage that ended close to my elbow. There were still burns healing, and a lot of it was scaring over. "This is going to sting a little." The healer warned.

She silently did what she could for my arm and side. It all stung like I was walking through the fire, but I kept my mouth shut, and bit my tongue. Finally she put some type of cream on my face.

"You'll be fine now. Be careful, because Tyranus is an inquisitor. Mistan is supposed to be an adviser of sorts." She told me. It was then something hit me. She must have worked for the Republic, before it's downfall. "You're uncle, is at the west end. Around cells 52-B." She paused. "You must be careful. The beginning of the end, is on it's way." The healer put a hand on my shoulder. "You mustn't let the dark side tempt you. And don't do anything too drastic."

I didn't question her. I just nodded.

A few minutes after I was done training with Mistan, I was walking down a hallway. I don't know why, but I had been scraping some of the paste off my shirt, but not enough to notice my symbol. Then lights started flashing, along with a low, erie siren.

The loading bay! Was the first place that came to my mind, so I took off down the hallway. The steel catwalks far above the ground, made me think of The Inquisitors death. Ezra had told me the story. This was where they were. Kanan and Sabine were on the other side. Tyranus was standing close to the middle, a red glow surrounded him, as he pointed his lightsaber down at Ezra.

See. They are weak. And the weak must be destroyed. They only bring trouble to us. You are not weak. But if you protect them, then you are a coward. The dark side can make you powerful. The dark voice swirled around me, as I walked toward the sith.

"Tyranus!" I called as I neared. All eyes went to me, and I stood at his side. Ezra looked hurt, at the sight that I betrayed him. I couldn't take the look he gave, so my gaze shifted to Tyranus.

"You're just in time. Maybe you could actually learn something. Other than Mistan's mushy crap."

"Hmm. Maybe you could kill this boy," I paused shortly, as Tyranus swung his lightsaber at Ezra.

"Over my dead body." I growled through gritted teeth, as a lighter blue lightsaber glow covered my face. I stood in front of Ezra, staring Tyranus down between our locked lightsabers. Then I had to do something stupid. Uncle Haken would try to kill me before the sith did. If he saw it. I Jumped over Tyranus, landing a yard behind him. He angrily turned around.

"C'mon Tyranus. I'm the one you really want to kill here. We both know it." I taunted him. He tightened his hold on his lightsaber.

"You must have a death wish Ria." Tyranus snarled.

"I get convinced of that too sometimes. But, I guess I like to play with fire." He lunged at me, but I blocked him. "See how long it takes to get burned." I finished. Then, a smoke bomb landed between us. I bitterly smiled at Tyranus, and pushed off of our locked lightsabers as it exploded. A cloud of smoke engulfed Tyranus, and I stood at it's edge. Sabine ran off, no doubt to help the others, as Kanan cautiously went to help Ezra. I kept my lightsaber off, as I stepped into the cloud. It was easy to tell Tyranus was in the middle, since he swung around a red glow.

"Where are you, you coward!" He demanded. I decided it might buy Kanan a little more time if I just taunted Tyranus.

"Everywhere." I whispered behind him, but by the time he turned around, I was gone.

"So, enlighten me. What's your real name Ria?" His eyes watched carefully around him.

"I am, Orin Prine's daughter." Smoke parted around me. Tyranus's eyes were wide, hiding a small fear. My father done something to make him that afraid of something. I jumped back into the decaying cloud, before he could snap out of it. I was about to move, when I was thrown into the wall behind me. My lightsaber fell from my hand.

"There you are. I'm getting real tired of your games." Tyranus stood above me, pointing his lightsaber down at me. I glanced over to see Kanan was almost to Ezra. Tyranus noticed this and smiled, and used the force to throw Kanan back to the other end.

No! The word caught in my throat.

I kept my arm stretched out, feeling for my hilt, as Tyranus turned back to me.

"But it's be a true pity to kill you now, Prine. Maybe I should leave you to Mistan, see if he actually can kill." My fingers slipped over the engraved metal of my lightsaber. A second bomb rolled right behind Tyranus's heel. "Oh well." He said, swinging his lightsaber down at me. I grabbed my own just in time to block him. I swiftly rolled out of his way, and stood up, as the smoke bomb went off. Leaving Tyranus blinded again. I looked out at the catwalk. Ezra stayed in the same position. Kanan was doing whatever he could to help me, but the meant he wasn't getting to Ezra any faster. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a flash of red lunge at me. I brought my lightsaber up just in time, for it to meet Tyranus's again. I glared at him, before jumping high over his head. Yes, what I was doing was stupid, but this wasn't much of a fight anymore. It was a distraction. I was far from being afraid. If I am gonna die tonight. I'm not going to give up till the end. I won't go until I show one hell of a fight.

"Now my patience are running low. I should save you for Mistan." I was in the middle of the cloud, but it formed a dome, as Tyranus stepped out. He held two lightsabers. I stood tall, lifting my chin, and closed my eyes. I took in a deep breath, I stared at Tyranus, as his lightsabers were held back by my own. I was doing all I could to stay light on my feet. But, I didn't use one form. Having been taught by three, one being a sith, I mixed all their forms into one. Mistan, I pitied him, because he was on the wrong side. He had every bit in him to be an excellent Jedi, but he was just simply on the wrong side. I was fully brought back to what was happening around me, when Tyranus lunged at me. As I blocked one of his lightsabers, the other cut across my face. I faltered, stepping back as blood streamed out of the gash. It started above my right eyebrow but missing, it continued over my nose, next to my left eye, and stopped below my cheekbone. I blinked rapidly as the world around me blurred. I almost dropped to my knees, when I was in the air, and couldn't breathe. Black spots lined my vision, and I couldn't process what was happening very quickly. Before I could tell, the ground met me as I was slammed into the steel platform. Shakily, I stood. Tyranus laughed. The chilling sound filled the space around me. His fist, colliding with my mouth, cut open my lip. I dropped onto the platform with a loud thud.

(Kanan POV)

I heard a loud thud, as the cloud of smoke cleared. I was still a long ways from Ezra. This new inquisitor that Ara called Tyranus, seemed even more deadly. But I had faith in Ara's ability. I was running to Ezra, as the smoke cleared. Then, I was thrown back into the far wall again. I looked up. I couldn't find the strength to push myself up fully, as the color drained from my face. Tyranus slowly walked off of the platform. Ara was lying, motionless, on the other side. Out of what I could see, most of her face was covered with blood from a long gash that started at her forehead.

. No. Not her. Don't let her die. I pleaded, I prayed.

I was unable to move, as Tyranus approached Ezra.

I would have finished this chapter and tried to post it yesterday, but there was a storm last night, and I had to shut the computer down. ONE CHAPTER LEFT!

So, it might take a little while, since the next one is gonna be long. I'm gonna have to take a few brakes from it just so I don't get that board. Yes, looking back and forth between a notebook and a computer screen isn't always that thrilling. Especially since I'll be going back and forth between 10 notebook pages. I didn't even do that for Till I See You Again. It feels like just yesterday I was posting the first chapter, and to know its so close to coming to an end! So, that also will be giving a lot of people time to think of a question, about anything really in this series. But I just ask that you don't think 'someone else will do it' if you do than no one will. Even if it's a really simple question, I won't mind.

Why do I care so much? Because I really want to answer any questions you have so you don't get confused, and a QnA sounds fun to do. I know I'm not perfect at explaining whats happening to a character, so I'm bond to have confused someone. I swear, if I wasn't writing this, there would defiantly be chapters where I would have no clue what was happening. Also I'll be busy today since I have a few plans for Fathers Day! So until the next chapter, Bye!
