Destruction of the Innocent (Anakin Skywalker)

~Time To Grow Up~

~Flashback to 4 years ago...~

I sit beside my Father on a transport shuttle as we come back from speaking to the people of Scarif that a war may be on the rise. I was 13 at the time, and my Father felt it necessary for me to come along and see how to conduct business and propose the safest war plans.

All off a sudden, our ship begins to creak and squeal all over. We crashed into what I think was another ship and began heading for the ground, which was'nt very far. We flew close to the ground to be under the radar for any pirates. Thee was no reason this should be happening.

The other two cruises with soldiers on board collided in front of us and burst into flames in front of our ship and fall in a ball of lames. I unhinge my lightsaber from my belt and grip it so tight my knuckles turned white.

My Father rushes to the control center and grabs the intercom.

"Shuttle 5Z10! What the hell is going on?!"

"I'm not sure General! I have zero visibili-" The shuttle besides us blows as well.

I scream and kneel down, covered my face with my arms.

"Nova! Hold onto to something!!", he yells to me as our shuttle finally crashes into the sand.

We hid the ground sand, mud, water, glass spraying everywhere as we rolled around like a tin can.

The shuttle finally creaks to a stop, and we were both thrown to the floor. He scrambles to find me and we help each other stand.

"Quickly! Get them out of there NOW!!", we heard a clone trooper from the other side of the very dented door.

My Father raises his hand and curled his fingers, making the floor twist in then extended his fingers and the door blew out to reveal nine clone troopers left out of our whole fleet.

Rex and Cody being two of them.

"Go! On me!", my Father says and pushes me behind him, igniting his purple lightsaber. The team of clones surround me as a shield as we make ur way to the last shuttle of theirs.

The wind is whipping, throwing sand everywhere, red and green lasers blasts from all directions.

The sound of tie fighters zipping by and showering us with rapid fire will never leave me.

"You says close to me, Nova! No matter wh-", he begins, but is cut off by a pained scream. He is electrocuted and falls to the ground.

"Father!!", I yell, reaching for him through the wall of troopers but they were already pulling me back. He tries to stand but is brought to his knees again.

"Go!Get her on the ship! Get her out of here!", Rex begins pushing me towards the shuttle as three clones are shot down.

"NO!! I HAVE TO HELP MY FATHER!", I fight back as Cody enters control room to fire up the shuttle.

"Princess, you must!", Rex yells. 3 more clones are shot down behind me.

I gather a burst of energy and rip myself from his arms , running to my father. 

"Get up!!", I yell and fall beside him the shallow water, shaking him awake. "Get up, please!!"

A tie fighter swerves over us, showering us with more rapid fire and I bury my face in his back. He passes us, and I glare-raising my hand up to it and ball my hand up; it implodes in on itself and falls in a fiery mess.

The remains of our ship creaks behind us. I look behind me in to see our ship about to come crashing down on us.

I scream, grabbing my Father's limp body and dragging him as far as I could. Then I fell back and switched our weight so I could flip him over me and out of the way. He was safe, and the headlight lands no more than a couple feet from my head-showing me in sandy mud.

I put my ear to his back. His heart is still thumping, but it is very faint.

The sand grinds between my teeth as I look up for any sign of danger, then electricity crackles through my body as well and I fall back into the water.

I grit my teeth in pain as I feel something dark approach us.
"Where is it, Amos?", a rasp becomes audible."Give it to me."

I force myself up to sit on hands and knees. My hands flies to my heart where it stings from the currents. I'm met with a smaller dark cloaked figure with his hood over his eyes. 

"And I may choose to let your daughter live"

I squeeze my eyes shut in concentration, the release a protective shield around us. This shockwave was so powerful it knocked his guards back a few feet-even this man had trouble standing. 

The smile drains from his face as I stagger to my feet. I take one step, then another until I stand infant of my Father.

He extends his hands as lightening erupts from his fingertips. I greet it with my own extended hand and absorb it. It flickers into nothing as it disappears down my arm. 

I glare from under my curtain of wet , matted hair and hold my right out to my side. My Father's lightsaber zips straight into my palm and ignites.

He turns and runs to his ship immediately are requests they take off.

I study the ship and realize its quite similar to ours of the Republic's, but modified.

I search the sky and take a step forward, right hand focusing on a tie fighter and holding it mid-flight. Then I raise my left hand one hold one still to my left side.

As I wait for the entity's ship to take flight, I smash my hands together into the ship and the entire thing bursts into a fireball. Smokes, metal fragments, explosions last in the air for a few seconds before it all falls into the sea.

The Lazar fire around us stops all at once. The wind and smells of fuel from the wreckage comes back and bows strands of hair away from my face.

My hands unclench and lower to my sides. A cough comes from behind me.

"Nova?", my Father says as he stands."Nova?" But my eyes never left the scene.

I'll never forget how amazing it felt. But it scared me because I liked it.

Destruction.
