I saw Skywalker's blue lightsaber, the color no longer reflecting his heart's intent. He ran at Obi-Wan, knowing he'd be the most challenging, I couldn't just stand and watch though. I looked at Palpatine watching the fight between the two Jedi and the former one with pure bliss and I'd never hated him more. He went up the stairs to his office to set off the order, so I followed him, Rebel pursuing after me, but unaware of where we were going. The evil dark lord entered his office but I waited, peering around the corner at him approaching his desk, taking his time, knowing we were watching. Rebel was confused and tried to push past me, but I held her back. We couldn't take him on alone, I thought to myself, forming a plan as I heard the clash of lightsabers draw closer. The three of them were in the hallway now, Skywalker kicked Commander Tano away from his blind spot and she flew down the hallway, his kick being so powerful combined with the force, now the dark side of the force. "No." I whispered with a tear traveling down my face, I wiped at it confused because I'd never cried before. General Kenobi paused the fight, stepping back far enough to avoid Skywalker's strikes. "I have failed you, Anakin. I have failed you." Kenobi said distraught, letting his head sink and his shoulders sag, withdrawing from his battle stance. "I should've known the Jedi were plotting to take over." Skywalker yelled back, making no move to slay his former master, but held tight to his sword speaking harshly to Kenobi. "Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is evil!" He looked back up to his student and brother, Skywalker's words catching his attention. "From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!" Anakin spoke to the general, leaving behind any trace of his existence as a Jedi. "Well then you are lost!" Kenobi spoke angrily towards him but his face did not show it, only mournfulness in that he truly had lost his best friend. I looked over to Palpatine seeing, he'd pressed the button to activate the chips. "No." I said louder, leaning against the wall. I'd missed my chance, everything we'd done up until now was worth nothing, we'd been given every opportunity, now there was absolutely nothing left, it had happened, it was in the past now, all we could do was tread around the broken, shattered pieces of this fragile galaxy. Worst of all, it was my fault. I'd refrained from acting in time. "This is the end for you my master." I heard the hum of a lightsaber being raised. "No!" I screamed, not looking at them, I launched myself towards Palpatine and wrapped my arm around his neck wanting to kill him right here, I had a choice though, to save General Kenobi, I'd need Palpatine alive or I could kill him out of spite, leaving only one Sith to deal with, I'd never forgive myself if I left a Jedi die under my watch though, it was my sworn oath to protect them at all costs. I lifted my blaster to what I told myself was just a droid so that I didn't get trigger finger. "Skywalker!" I got his attention with all my might, he looked at me with panic in his eyes not for his current leader but for what he was about to do to his former mentor. I nodded to him, grateful I'd caused enough of a distraction and brought myself back to the struggling Sith who didn't seem so powerful now and pressed my gun closer to his head. "Put your lightsaber down or he goes!" I warned, lifting my head up high, confident my incentive would work. He sighed, deactivating his saber, I exhaled, finally feeling able to breathe again now that the General had at least been spared, we needed just one victory today. Almost immediately after I'd relaxed I was caught off guard and pushed backwards, but more like thrown because it was so impactful. I was flung out of the large back window taking up most of the office wall. My heart sped up to a rate that it'd never reached before, so quick it felt like it was in my throat. "RUE!" Rebel yelled after me from inside, it barely sounded like my name, more just a dreadful scream. I looked around me taking in the scene, it felt like everything froze, I wondered if this was what it felt like to die. I saw the Temple, the traffic swirling around it appeared to be going in slow motion. I looked at the Coruscant sky, black with night and no stars shone, I looked back into the Senate building seeing it was Skywalker who'd used the force to shove me out of the office. Then I heard it, I heard the traffic resume and the glass shatter as it fell to the stories below as I felt myself start to sink to the ground, but I was caught. It felt like landing on an invisible hammock, I saw Kenobi stretching out into the force holding me up and bringing me back through the hole in the window to the office. My feet hit the ground lightly and the entire incident had just seemed to be played in reverse, I stood immobilized around the shards of glass from the window and watched, dazed, as Rebel shouted infuriated and shot Skywalker and Palpatine down with stun blasts, realizing she was out of normal bullets. She ran and grabbed me, hugging me. "I know that took a lot of courage and I'm proud of you for that," she calmed my heart as I hugged her back. "but maybe don't do that when you're by a window with a newly found Sith." She tried to lighten the mood but I didn't care what she said. I was just happy to be alive, I hugged her back stronger and looked at Kenobi wanting to thank him but he looked just as stunned as I and I didn't want to disrupt him. She wiggled away from me. "The order is gonna go off if we like it or not." she glanced at the chip activator and I felt guilty again about all those innocent troopers we couldn't save, not to mention the Jedi that would be killed. "But we have to get out of here or we'll be killed," I assumed Commander Fox and the rest of the Coruscant guard would already be on their way to the Senate to check for any remaining Jedi. "after the order is over we will be fighting our brothers, but we can't let that get to us," I twitched thinking of how they'd act when they found out we'd betrayed the order and I couldn't imagine them shooting us down without any free will at all, but then again I never expected General Skywalker to turn. "life will never ever be the same," we'd already had an extremely out of the ordinary life, but now we'd be going through even greater differences than we'd faced yet. "but after this we will be fighting against a dark evil that can not take over no matter what." The evil we'd fight after this whole ordeal was over would be even more challenging than fighting our own brothers which seemed impossible but it was true. "We are in this Rebelion for life, we are family no matter what. We are Rebels." She concluded on a high note, we'd stick together through it all and not only survive but thrive.
