Anakin's POV:
We were walking back to the ship when the Father appeared in front of the others.
Forget about what you saw young Skywalker do, how he shapeshifted
He placed two fingers on each of their foreheads and spoke in an ancient language I didn't understand. We walked back to the ship as it began to rain, the Father vanished.
"I'm getting a little tired of how unreliable the weather is here." Said Jesse.
"Some might say that's part of the appeal, Jesse," I replied with a smirk, he snorted and looked on at the rain.
"You did well, Anakin. How do you feel?" Asked Obi-wan.
"I'm not sure we're doing the right thing by leaving," I said
"The son is consumed by the dark side; and if we stay, we may be used to the dark side's advantage." He said, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"Can you give me a hand, Master?" I heard Ahsoka ask.
"Sure, Snips,"
I hopped down to where she was trying to fix the ship.
"May I?" I asked her.
She hopped out and went to talk to the clones. I looked at the parts and popped my head up.
"Well, you want the bad news or the really bad news?" I asked
"How did you do that so fast?!" Asked Hardcase.
"Practice," I told him.
"Well, let's try the bad news, laced with a little optimism." Said Obi-wan.
I rolled my eyes but continued anyway.
"We've got two cracked Shilo pins, a busted power converter, the engines should be fired twice to dump debris, and the backup vents need charging," I said.
"Sounds terribly downbeat."
"I told you it was bad," I said and hopped back down.
"Can it be fixed?" Asked Padme.
"Eh.. I can reroute the primary initiator, weld the dampening vents, and that might give us enough power to leave the atmosphere. After that, I have no guarantees she'll hold together."
"We'll take our chances. Better than staying here." Said Obi-wan.
He walked out of the ship and I gave Ahsoka and the clones a brief speech on how to fix the ship. I got a travel speeder and walked after Obi-wan.
"Where are you going?" He asked, the usual sarcasm lacing his voice.
"To see the father. I'm not convinced that the son will be contained here without our help. Perhaps we should make a stand."
"Anakin-"
"If I don't get the father's blessing to leave, it'll haunt me forever," I said. I got on the speeder and rode away to the monastery.
I watch as the Father walks down the steps to the crypt, kneeling down at the edge of the large indent in the floor. While looking down solemnly at the now-corpse of the Daughter, he places the Mortis Dagger in her folded hands.
Forgive me, daughter. I am an old fool who believed he could control the future. Now you are gone, and all is lost.
The Father steps up from where he knelt and closes the lid to the tomb with a wave of his hand.
