"____!" Luke tries to call out above the ear-piercing screams echoing in the Emperor's throne room. You writhe on the floor as the Emperor sends waves of electricity up your spine.
The Emperor chuckles darkly as he slowly drains you of life. Luke rushes towards you, but is stopped by his father, Darth Vader. The two lock in a fierce lightsaber duel.
As they dance around each other, blades swinging in a fury, Vader begins to notice a parallel. Padme died, trying to keep me from succumbing to the dark side. If this girl dies, Luke may follow suit. He fights harder, wanting to stall Luke just a little longer, but he hears a voice, sweet and gentle, "Anakin." It's this one word, one phrase, that pulls the Sith from the fight. As he blocks the sandy-haired Jedi's increasingly aggressive blows, he looks back to your figure, slowly dying at the Emperor's finger tips. In this moment of distraction, he is knocked back from a direct blow from his son.
In his rage, Luke slices his hand off to reveal a mechanical hand, like his own. Luke takes a breath and realizes that the two of them are more alike than different.
The Emperor notices the shift in the Force as Vader seems to struggle with the conflict inside him. He ceases the unrelenting shocks on your body and looks to Luke, who stands defiantly in front of the Emperor, seemingly unafraid.
"I'll never turn to the darkside," Luke says as he throws his lightsaber to the side, "You've failed You're Highness. I am a Jedi like my father before me."
The Emperor's face darkens, "So be it... Jedi. If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed." Suddenly, the blue streaks of lightning reappear as he begins to electrocute both you and Luke. The both of your screams echo as the Emperor intensifies the shocks.
By this point you are near exhaustion. Your fight begins to fade and you begin to weaken. You manage to look over to Luke and try to reach him, but you have become so weakened that you can barely stick your arm out towards him.
Vader notices this and looks to his son, who is trying to reach for your hand, despite the pain. He pauses for a moment when a realization hits him, If he loses her, he'll lose a part of himself, like I did when I lost Padme. Although we'd be together as father and son, he'll be miserable, hating himself for not being able to save her. I can't let him follow my footsteps. I won't.
In an instant, Vader lifts the Emperor and throws him off the nearby guard railing, into the abyss. The electricity that was once flowing through you and Luke now courses through Vader. He slumps to the ground in exhaustion. Slowly, Luke rises, looks to his father, and gives him a smile of gratitude before crawling over to your limp body.
He places a hand over your heart, feeling for a heartbeat. When he can't find one, he panics, "____? ____! No. No. No. This can't be. ____, don't you dare give up on me. ____?!"
He holds you in his arms and lets himself cry. Tears roll down his face as he finally lets himself admit, you're gone.
From where he was slumped over, Anakin Skywalker manages to rise to his feet. He hobbles over to your lifeless body and kneels beside you. The returned Jedi lays a hand over the worst of your injuries in your abdomen and begins to transfer his life Force from himself to you. Luke recognizes what's going on and places a hand on his father's arm, "If you do this, it'll kill you. Are you sure?"
Anakin smiles beneath the cracked mask of Vader, "I'm sure. This girl has shown me something today that I had forgotten. That there was a time where there wasn't anything I wouldn't do for your mother. I loved her, as you love this girl." With that he completes the deed and transfers the last of his life Force to you.
Within moments, your eyes fly open and you gasp for a breath. Immediately, you see the tears rolling down Luke's cheek, "Luke?"
The Jedi's head whips up, "____? ____! You're alive."
You nod, tears running down your face now. You look over at Anakin's limp body, "Luke, he saved me. Why did you let him do that?"
He rubs a thumb across your cheek, "It was his choice. He wanted to. ____, he died a good man."
"I know."About a year later...
"Do you, ____ ____, take Luke Skywalker to be your husband to love and cherish through better or worse, in sickness and in health?"
You brightly look up at Luke in his Commander's dress uniform, "I do."
"Do you, Luke Skywalker, take ____ ____ to be your wife to love and cherish through better or worse, in sickness and in health?"
He gives you a small wink, "I do."
"By the power invested in me, I pronounce you Jedi and wife. You may kiss the bride."
As Luke presses his lips to yours, a Force Ghost of Anakin Skywalker blows into a tissue in the back of the room, "He's grown up so fast. I'm so proud." The Force Ghosts of both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano look at him and roll their eyes.
Ahsoka sighs, "Some things never change."
Obi-Wan chuckles stroking his beard, "Hmm, unfortunately."A/N Well, that was a new concept. I've never written a wedding before 😂. Well, there's a first time for everything. This request belongs to @butter_finger666 .
May the Force be with you!
