Anakin's POV
Krennic has been close to getting to us before, but he's never been this close.

I peered up at the ship that was preparing to land with my nerves unsettled. My mind was racing; trying to decide on what I should do. Running as usual wasn't much of an option right now; Beru and Owen could die for helping us, and if I take them with me, they'll lose their home and be stuck on the run like us.

How the hell did he even find us so quickly? I never should have come here, I never should have put them in this position.

"Anakin what's going on?" Obi-Wan came rushing out, with Ahsoka and Artoo hot on his trail. They all paused when they followed my line of eyesight to see what the source of the loud noise was, "Shit." He mumbled, "How did they find us?" He asked with the same disbelief that I felt.

"What is going on out here?" I heard Beru's voice come from behind me.

I finally snapped back to reality, and quickly turned to face both Beru and Owen, "Get back inside, I'll take care of this." I order them sternly, and they both nodded without protesting; turning away and rushing back into their home. I then glanced down to Artoo, "Get the ship ready now, and wait for my instructions." I ordered him; he beeped in acknowledgment to my request, before rolling through the sand towards our ship that was a small distance away. I didn't plan to fly away just yet, but I needed him a safe distance away from this.

"Why aren't we going with him?" Ahsoka asked with a slight panic in her tone.

I growled when the ship officially landed twenty feet in front of us, and I placed my hand on my weapons handle, "We can't just leave Owen and Beru to suffer the repercussions for helping us. There's no running this time, we have no choice but to fight." I pulled my lightsaber from my belt, and ignited the blue light while I watched the ramp slowly descend.

"Skyguy," Ahsoka uttered my nickname to catch my attention while she also went for her weapons. Obi-Wan already had his out; ready to fight just as I was, "Something doesn't feel right, I think-"

She was interrupted by the sound of the ramp pushing into the sand, and the chuckle of Krennic who slowly strode down the slope, "You three put up one hell of a chase." He grinned while over a dozen clones followed behind him; their blasters raised in our direction, "But I finally got you, Lady Lilith will be so pleased." He stopped when he was a fifteen foot distance away; his smug grin could be seen since the moonlight was illuminating his annoying facial features.

All three of us were in our defensive positions; preparing for these clones to fire at any given moment, "Why couldn't she come herself? I'm sure she would have done a much better job than you." Obi-Wan remarked sarcastically.

Krennic scoffed with an eye roll, "Please Lady Lilith is way too busy for likes of you-" A crimson light suddenly pierced through his chest from behind; cutting off his words completely.

We all jumped back in surprise at this unexpected occurrence, and Krennic's eyes bulged as he slowly looked down to the source of his demise. He choked on his blood that poured from his mouth, until his eyes became lifeless.

The blade was retracted, and his body dropped down. I heard Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan gasp, and my eyes widened when Krennic's killer came into view, "So, she sent me instead." Cal smiled wickedly when his golden eyes landed on me.
