Chapter 80: Saying Goodbye

Third person perspective

Back in the Dome, the other Rebels have set a plan in motion.

They have to get the planetary shields up.

Sabine, Hera, Rip and Chopper will be coordinating the teams from the command centre.

Sabine looks to Hera.

Sabine: Hey, what's wrong?

Hera: I just hope Y/N...

Wren puts her hand on Hera's shoulder.

Sabine: He knows what he's doing. Kanan taught him well.

The pilot smiles.

Hera: You're right. He did.

Y/N's P.O.V

I'm now standing before the Emperor a.k.a Darth Sidious.

Palpatine: That will be all, Grand Admiral.

Thrawn bows to Sidious before leaving.

Palpatine: I apologise for not being there in person, but governing the galaxy takes up much of my time.

Y/N: I know who you are and what you are, Palpatine. Or can I call you Sidious?

He sighs.

Palpatine: You misjudge me. Can you not see the opportunity that stands here before you?

Y/N: I see a part of the Jedi Temple, which you stole from Lothal.

Palpatine: I had this portion of the temple moved here stone by stone for you. Forgive me, but I would've thought you'd thank me for this effort.

Y/N: Thank you? Thank you for destroying the temple? For imprisoning my people? For killing my mother?!

Palpatine: My dear boy, it's you who chose to destroy the temple. The actions of your Rebel friends require a firm hand to ensure there is order on Lothal. As for your parents, allow me to offer what might have been, and what may yet be.

He points to the entrance of the temple.

I walk over to the entrance and see a gateway at the end of it.

Kira: Dinner's ready, Y/N. Y/N?

My eyes widen.

Y/N: Mum?

Palpatine: She is waiting for you. Your family is waiting for you. Go to them. This what you want, isn't it? The life you deserve.

Y/N: But it can't be.

Palpatine: Yes, it can. But you must choose to make it so.

Kira: Y/N?

I walk in and down the hallway with Palpatine close behind me.

As I get closer I see mum in the kitchen of our family home.

Kira: Y/N, I made your favourite!

Palpatine: The gateway will not be open forever. Go now, before it's too late.

Y/N: No. This is a lie. My mother is dead. I felt it.

Rip: Y/N! Serena!

I then see dad through the gateway.

Rip: Where are those two?

Kira: Knowing them, they're causing trouble.

Rip: Okay. I'll find Serena.

Kira: And I'll find Y/N.

Dad then walks off.

Palpatine: You know it is possible to change fate. You did it before. There are infinite paths and infinite possibilities, but you must open the door.

Kira: Y/N, are you here?

Palpatine: So few have a choice to live the life they want. Why deny yourself?

I step forward and reach out.

Y/N: Mum?

Kira: Y/N?

She turns and sees me through the gateway.

Just then the cuffs fall off my wrists.

I turn to Palpatine as he points at the wall.

Palpatine: There.

I look at the gap in the wall.

Palpatine: The control for the gateway. Activate it and you can be with your family again. Your family can be whole again.

I look back to mum.

Y/N: What about my friends?

Palpatine: If you open the gateway, you will save your mother. She shall live.

Mum walks over to the gateway and reaches out.

I reach for the gateway control and it glows slightly.

Palpatine: Go on. You deserve this.

I reach out to my mum.

Y/N: Mum? Dad, Serena and I, we're okay. I want you to know that.

I sigh as tears build up in my eyes.

Y/N: You'll always be a part of me. But I have to let you go.

Palpatine: No!

I close my eyes and use the force to blast the temple apart.

The gateway then closes.

Kira: I love you, Y/N.

I turn and run as the temple collapses around me.

I just make it out before the temple comes down.

After getting up I turn to see Palpatine's hologram come out of the rubble.

It flickers between Palpatine and Sidious before stopping, showing me Darth Sidious.

Y/N: You're wrong. I have a family and it's already whole. I don't need anything from you.

Sidious glares at me as I step forward.

Y/N: You failed, Sidious. I am a Jedi, like my mother and Master before me.

Sidious: So be it, Jedi.

I hear the door open and turn to see guards in red with staffs come in.

Sidious: Destroy him!

The hologram disappears.

I rush over and use the force to push them back.

They fall down, but quickly get back up.

The guards activate their staffs and lift me up into the air.

Y/N: Whoa!

I look back to see the rubble, so I reach out with the force.

Just then Stormtroopers come in and fire at me, but miss.

I lift the rubble into the air and use the force to blast it at all of them.

I fall down to the fall and look up to see they've all be crushed.

Y/N: Gotta get to the bridge.

I quickly get up and grab a Stormtrooper's blaster before leaving.

I gotta stop Thrawn once and for all.
