The Lucky One (a Star Wars fanfic)

Chapter 39

Anakin's pov

"You will pay for hurting him," I say through gritted teeth as Sidious drops Rider to the floor.

I feel my hatred grow as I watch Rider take in a deep breath only to cough it out while grabbing his chest in pain. What did Sidious do to him before we got here? How badly did he hurt Rider?

Sidious just laughs in response to my threat, making me hate him even more.

As the hate I feel fills every inch of me, I take out my lightsaber, looking forward to killing Sidious.

I step towards Sidious and activate my lightsaber, causing four other lightsabers to be activated, three of them the other Jedi with me, and the other belonging to Sidious.

Right when I am about to move another foot closer to Sidious a Sith drops from a vent in the ceiling.

As the Sith rapidly falls towards me he takes out his lightsaber and activates it, the blood red blade aiming to take off my head.

I raise my lightsaber above my head to block the Sith's attack. The Sith's lightsaber slams into mine with so much force that it nearly knocks me to my knees, but thankfully, I remain standing. Before he can break the lightsaber lock, him pushing down on my lightsaber while I push up, which would allow him swing at me again, I kick his left leg, making him to lose his balance and fall backwards.

As I aim my lightsaber downwards, the Sith rolls to the right, resulting in my lightsaber slamming into the floor, just inches away from his left arm.

A second later I slam down my lightsaber once again, but he rolls to the left this time, causing my lightsaber to collide with the floor, this time only an inch away from his right arm.

Before I get another chance to drive my lightsaber through the Sith's chest, he jumps to his feet, flips over me, and tries to send his lightsaber through my lower back.

I turn around quickly and angle my lightsaber down. I block his attack,  forcing his lightsaber to freeze horizontal, meanwhile, my lightsaber gets stuck vertical up against his.

He pushes his lightsaber closer, but with me pushing his away we remain unmoving, stuck here with our lightsabers locked together.

The Sith smiles, probably thinking that he has won, and any second now I will try to break this up, allowing him to make his move against me. As if I, the chosen one, would make that kind of rookie mistake! Who does he think he is fighting against? An inexperienced padawan?!

I just look this Sith in the eyes, his light green eyes, not giving him any clue as to whether or not I will be the one to make a move. It takes me a few seconds to realize how abnormal him having green eyes is. Sith always have gold eyes, so why does this Sith have green eyes?

A few seconds later our lightsaber lock is broken by Obi-Wan coming up behind the Sith and aiming to take off his head, forcing the Sith to spin around and block Obi-Wan.

I am about to swing at the Sith's head when, out of the corner of my eye, I see slight movement from a black-cloaked figure. The slight movement immediately catches my attention since they are near Rider.

I turn around to see a Sith sitting beside Rider, holding Rider close to his chest. Meanwhile, Rider just sits there, allowing a Sith who must have hurt him countless times to sit beside him, one of the Sith's arm wrapped around his side and the other holding his right hand.

Knowing that I need to get this Sith away from Rider, I quickly approach the two.

When I am only five feet away from them, the Sith gently lays Rider on the floor in the corner of the room, the place farthest from the two fights that have broken out. One fight is between Master Windu and Sidious, meanwhile, the other fight is Obi-Wan and Kellan against the Sith who I had been fighting with.
