{6} Darth Tyrannus

"Okay, what's the plan?" You asked Anakin and Rex.

"We're going in stealth." Anakin said.

"The separatists are hiding in the village church." Rex said. "That is the only building not burned down."

"We depleted their droid army by half." Anakin said. "We're going to surprise them."

"Some clonea are going to be on the ridge with snipers,"Rex told you. "The others will attack." You nodded.

"I understand." You said.

"Okay, move out!" Rex yelled. you grabbed a magma guard staff you had saved. You followed Rex, Anakin, Fives, and Jesse through the forest. Anakin raised his hand and everyone stopped. He gave a little hand signal and some of the clones left the group and hid behind the ridge. They had snipers. Then Anakin beckoned the rest of the group to follow. He slid down the ridge. There were no windows on the side of the church facing you. The group slid down the ridge after Anakin. He pointed in one direction and half of the group ran that way. Then he beckoned the rest of the group the opposite way. You followed him to the side of the church and bent down so as not to be seen by the droids inside. The other group was on the opposite side of the church doing the same thing. Rex and Anakin went to the door. Fives followed. You saw Anakin preparing to kick the door in.

All the droids had been defeated. You looked up and saw a red blade. Count Dooku was cutting down clones one by one. You saw Anakin lying on the ground. You ran over to him. You immediately saw he was dead. You turned back to Count Dooku just as he cut down Rex. He turned to you and extended his hand.

The sound of the door blasting into the church brought you back to the real world. Anakin had pushed the door in with the Force. Now clones were rushing in. You looked through a window to see Count Dooku cutting a hole in the wall on the opposite side of the church from the door. You ran to the back and pushed the cut out piece of church back into the church, sending Darth Tyrannus into the crowd of droids and clones. He got up and brushed some dirt off his cloak. He saw you through the door. He ignited his lightsaber and ran at you. You dodged his swings.

"You could have joined me in the dark side." Dooku said.

"You forgot about the rule of two when you got Ventress." You said, dodging a few more swings. He raised his hand and shot lightning at you. It caught you by surprise. You screamed in pain and collapsed to the ground. "You're sick." You muttered. He keeped electrocuting you. You become overwhelmed with pain and yell again. A vision set in.

You were in a circular room. There were people sitting in chairs. They were Jedi. They had started the vision. A Jedi stood up.

"y/n." He said. "Fight. Fight it."

"I can't." You said. "I can't fight Dooku." A small green Jedi got up. "Fight you must." He said. "Your planet you must save."

"Think of your sister." A Jedi said. He had a beard. "Think of your parents and your friends. Fight for them." You smiled.

"I'll try." You said.

"Do or do not." The green jedi said. "There is no try."

You returned to the real world. Dooku was still electrocuting you. A serge of energy flowed through you. You looked up at him and smiled.

"No." Dooku said. You raised your hand and blasted him into the ridge. Rocks and sand covered him. He was out. You stood up.

"Thank you masters." You said. You turned back to the church and ran into the crowd. You cut down droid after droid with the magna guard staff. You blocked a staff of a magma guard and pushed him into the wall with the force. Another magna guard attacked. You flipped over it's staff and electrocuted it. You pushed a group of droids into the church wall. You looked around. There were no more droids. Your legs buckle and you feel your hands and knees. Rex ran over to you.

"y/n, are you okay?" He asked. You nodded.

"Yeah." You panted. Rex helped you up.

"Good job boys." Anakin said. "We got them." The clones cheered. "Let's head back to camp." You followed the clones out of the church. Rex helped you walk.

When you got back to camp Samantha ran up to you.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah." You said.

"Do you need to go to the medical tent?" She asked, following you and the clones into camp.

"No." You said. "I'll be fine Samantha." She stopped walking and watched as you sat down on a log. 

"Are you sure you're okay?" Rex said. "I saw you go after Dooku." You nodded.

"Nothing rest can't heal." You said. Rex nodded.

"Just tell me if you need anything." He said.

"I will." Rex nodded and walked away. You saw your parents. You hadn't talked to them since you had told them you were leaving.

"You should talk to them." You recognized the voice as Qui-gon's.

"I just don't want to hurt them more." You said.

"And how would you hurt them?"

"They'll remember that it will be the last time they'll see me before they see me again." You said. "Or ever." Qui-gon sat down next to you.

"It would be better if you talk to them now." He said. "If you never see them again." You nodded.

"I guess."
