Chapter 19

"We're all set Kanian, just waiting on you." Ahsoka said as the battle on the ground began. Kanian and Hana boarded the Ghost as the Twilight took off.

"Twilight to Ghost, I've got the TIEs following me, you're clear." Reaper reported.

"Roger Spectre 7, good hunting." Kanian replied. The Ghost flew from the hangar as the troops on the ground pushed back the stormtroopers.

"Cloaking on, they won't spot us on the scanners, but they can still see us from the window." Kanan said.

"Good, all that matters is we sneaking aboard." Kanian said as he walked to the exit where Hana waited.

"Are you ready?" He asked. She turned and smiled. "Never been ready, I can't wait to see the looks on the bucketheads faces when their ship blows up." She said. Kanian chuckled lightly.

"Approaching the rendevous point now, Song are you ready?" Ahsoka asked in the comms.

"Agent Dva ready, lower the ramp Ahsoka." Hana replied. The ramp lowered as Hana ran forward and jumped. As she free fell towards the Star Destroyer, she called down a MEKA as it appeared in front of her. She climbed in and flew inside the hangar bay, surprising the stormtroopers inside.

"Keeping them occupied, would appreciate some back up!" Hana yelled in her comms. The Ghost hovered near the bay Dva occupied as she kept the attention of the troopers giving the Ghost room to land in the hangar. The Jedi ran out and began to attack the stormtroopers as Nix and Rex fired along with Dva.

"Ezra, you know where the reactor is, lead on." Kanian said blocking laser bolts. "Okay, follow me." Ezra said running forward.

"Hana, Rex, Nix, fall in!" Kanian shouted. The three ran forward as the group charged through the stormtroopers, slicing and gunning them down left and right.

"Keep it together everyone, we're almost there." Ezra said. The group made it to the reactor until the comms came to life.

"I hope you guys made it to the reactor, it's fucking hell out here. These TIE fighters are pissing me off, Fred, on your LEFT! *explosion* Damn it! We can't hold out for long." Gabriel said.

"Hold out for as lopng as you can Gabe, we'll win this!" Jack replied. "Focus on your own battle Morrison, don't worry about me." Reyes snapped. The group entered a hallway before an Inquisitor stood in front of them.

"This is as far as you Jedi will go." He growled as he activated his twin bladed crimson lightsaber. Kanan ran forward with Ezra as the two attacked from the side. Rex and Nix fired at the Inquistor as focused his attack on the two Jedi.

"We've got him, you guys keep moving!" Kanan shouted. "I'll stay and help them, Nix, you go with Dva, Kanian, and Ahsoka. Protect them." Rex ordered.

"Roger, let's move!" Nix shouted as the three left. "I thought He would show his face, we've been made known on his ship by now." Kanian said.

"I agree, Vader would have confronted us now." Ahsoka said. As they made it to the reactor room, a sudden cold presence was felt.

"You feel that?" Kanian asked. Ahsoka nodded as the four entered. "There's the reactor." Hana said walking towards the machine before being pushed off the side.

"HANA!" Kanian yelled before she flew back up and sighed in relief. "Can't use that trick on me, Darth idiot!" Hana yelled at the cloaked figure.

"Defiance will get you nowhere earthling. It is time I dealt with you Jedi personally." Vader said activating his crimson blade. Kanian and Ahsoka activated their lightsabers and readied themselves.

"Dva, Nix, protect the entrance. Make sure no stormtroopers enter." Kanian ordered them.

"After I finish you two, I shall kill your precious Hana. She shall know suffering beyond her darkest dreams. And you, Captain Nix, I held such high praise for you. Leading the 212th into battle against these traitorious rebels. Now look at you, a traitor to yourself and your fellow stormtroopers. It's a shame to rid the military of someone as such as yourself." Vader said.

"The Republic was my true home, your Empire is but a shell of a once great Republic." Nix retorted.

"Whatever you say, but for now my concern is for you Jedi. Prepare yourselves." Vader said walking forward.

"Would you like to make the first move?" Kanian asked. "It would be my genuine pleasure." Ahsoka replied as she rush forward, slashing her white lightsabers onto Vader's crimson blade.

"Ah, the former padawan of Anakin Skywalker. We need not be enemies. We can show you mercy." Vader said blocking her attack.

"That's nice and all, but I'd rather not. Surrender is not my style." She retorted slashing downward. Kanian dashed forward and kicked Vader in his side.

"Kanian Stark, former padawan of Jedi Knight Lenix. You have been a thorn in my side for long enough. I will enjoy killing you." Vader growled.

"I'm touched, to know that a Sith Lord would enjoy killing me. But that won't matter, I've foreseen an event, you are not destined to die here." Kanian said.

"I may not die, but you shall." Vader said thrusting his blade forward. Kanian dodged his thrust and parried with his blue sword, giving Ahsoka the opportunity to slash downwards on his helmet, cutting his helmet's left eye. Vader stumbled backwards before glaring upwards at the two. His left eye glowing orange with hatred and his scar running down.

"Anakin." Ahsoka said catching him off guard. "Ahsoka." Anakin said as he stood in front of the two. Dva and Nix fired at incoming stormtroopers as Nix turned to see the two Jedi in front of the Sith Lord.

"What the hell are they doing?" He asked as he dodged a laser bolt and shot a stormtrooper.

"Kanian, finish him off!" Dva yelled, shaking him from his trance. "Anakin, it's not too late." Kanian said.

"Kanian, Ahsoka, forgive me." Anakin said before charging forward. Kanian step sided his attack used this opening to slice off both of Vader's arms and kicking the Sith Lord over the railing.

"No, forgive me Anakin." Kanian said. The two looked to see Vader on a lift taking him to another catwalk, more stormtroopers appeared and helped him escape.

"Dva, activate the self destruct. We are leaving!" Kanian ordered as him and Ahsoka ran in front of Nix and blocked any incoming fire. Dva turned and launched the self destructing MEKA into the reactor as the four eliminated the remaining stormtroopers and ran down the hallway to see Kanan, Ezra, and Rex fighting the Inquisitor.

"Kanan, Rex, Ezra, we are leaving now!" Kanian said vaulting over them and slicing the Inquisitor's head off clean. Ezra and Kanan's eyes widened at the Inquistor before taking off after the rest. The ship rocked as the self destruct ruptured the fusion reactor, causing a meltdown. As the group reached the hangar, they noticed Vader and few stormtroopers and Imperial officers enter a ship. Vader glared in their direction before entering the ship. His ship hovered before taking off.

"We need to scat right now!" Kanan said. The group entered the Ghost and left the exploding Star Destroyer as it erupted into flames and and explosions peppered the ship.

"From the explosions, I can tell the mission was a success?" Reaper asked in the comms.

"Yes Gabriel, you need any help?" Kanian asked. "Heh *cough* *hack* I'm fine." He replied.

"No, he was shot down by a TIE, we managed to finish off the rest of the stormtroopers and the remaining TIE fighters. The Twilight crashed near our defenses. We lost the troopers, but Gabe sustained heavy injuries." Jack reported.

"Take care of *hack* yourself John. I've made my choice." Gabriel fired back. "Shut up Reyes, you're not dying on me!" Jack shot back.

"We've cheated death already, *hack* *cough* now is my time. I'll deal with the consequences of my actions, but I'm hoping that this action would help me towards, paradise." Gabriel said as he took his final breath before the life in him disappeared.

"Gabriel? GABRIEL!" Jack shouted. The Ghost landed in the hangar as Kanian and Hana took off to where the crashed ship of the Twilight laid as the forms of Jack and Reyes began to form. Kanian walked over and kneeled behind Jack and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry John, he was a true honorable man." Kanian said. "Even if he was a pain in the ass." Jack said as his tears fell onto the lifeless form of Gabriel.

"If you need anyone, I'm here for you." Kanian said. The rest of the Overwatch agents removed their helmets and walked over to Jack as they held their heads down.

"He vas a truly honourable man. Sleep well, Gabriel Reyes." Reinhardt said. "Even if the ole chap was a sour puss, he was like a father figure to me." Lena said. "Aye." Torbjorn said. Angela and Ana walked over and knelt down. Angela wiped her tears away as she kissed Gabriel's forehead and placed a hand on his cheek.

"You will be missed greatly." Ana said as Fareeha walked over and fell to her knees. She flopped on his chest as she cried into his clothes, wet spots appearing on the Reaper.

"Goodbye, Uncle Gabby." She said finally. Some troopers stood in a line as a commanding officer ordered them to aim their weapons in the air and commenced a 21 gun salute in honour of the fallen, former Overwatch agent.

A/N: I had to have a major character death to hopefully bring this story to a close. I will be doing one more chapter, but it will be an Epilogue/Chapter 20. I hope you enjoyed this story and the reader that requested it, I hope you enjoyed it very greatly. Tata for now, and May the Force be with you.
