Eye Of The Needle (Star Wars)

Chapter 104: Padmé's Death

Obi-Wan and I ignited our lightsabers at once. Anakin ignited his lightsaber before he backflipped, making his way towards us. Our lightsabers clashed in a matter of seconds. We continued to fight, making our way from the landing platform and into the main entry hallway. Our attacks grew quicker and quicker as we headed into the main control center. Anakin had deflected all our attacks with ease, frustrating me. We made our way on top the table, Anakin jumped on right after us. Anakin kicked me back, knocking me off the table and onto the ground. Once I climbed onto my feet, I saw Anakin with one hand clutched around Obi-Wan's neck and his other around his lightsaber, pointing it just centimeters away from Obi-Wan's neck. My stomach dropped.

I quickly intervened, extending out my hands, reaching out to the Force. In a heartbeat, I pushed Anakin off of Obi-Wan, sending him flying back against the window. The three of us then moved to the control room as we continued our fighting. As soon as the three of us, clashed our lightsabers, we pushed with all our strength, trying to shove Anakin back. But he was too strong. Anakin extended out a hand, trying to push us away through the Force. Obi-Wan and I extended out our hands, attempting to do the same to Anakin. In a matter of seconds, the three of us were all pushed back onto the control panels. I let out a groan, feeling the pain of landing on the hard control panels.

Obi-Wan and I quickly climbed onto our feet as Anakin lunged towards us. As we swung our lightsabers, we ended up slashing some of the controls behind us. At that moment, an alarm went off. Obi-Wan and I blocked his attacks as we made our way out onto a balcony. As soon as the balcony ended, Obi-Wan and I wasted no time in jumping down onto some pipes. Unfortunately, the pipes were constantly swinging around and releasing steam. My stomach nearly dropped as I almost lost my balance, on the verge of falling into the river of lava. Anakin jumped down onto the pipes. As we walked back, trying to keep our balance, Anakin swung his lightsaber towards us. Obi-Wan and I deflected his attacks to the best of our ability. As soon as we saw some panels nearby, Obi-Wan and I jumped onto them with Anakin trailing right behind us.

We then clashed lightsabers, using all our strength to push on. Anakin's attacks continued to get more and more aggressive, but Obi-Wan and I fought on. Anakin swung low, trying to get my legs, but I quickly jumped into the air, missing his blade by a few centimeters. Anakin raised his lightsaber high in the air, but I swung my lightsaber in the air, deflecting his attack. It wasn't long until the lava caught up to us, beginning to rise onto the facility. The entire tower we had moved towards, was engulfed in lava, and it began to ride through the river. It wasn't long until we were close to the lava falls. Obi-Wan and I quickly grabbed some cables, swinging around. Unfortunately, Anakin also snatched up some cables, meeting us in the air. We swung our lightsabers at once, colliding our lightsabers against one another. To our luck, I saw a small platform on top of the lava not far from us.

"Obi-Wan, look!" I shouted out.

Obi-Wan followed my gaze. "Good eye, Storm. Jump now!"

Obi-Wan and I then both jumped, landing on the platform. Anakin then landed on top of a droid not far from us. As soon as Anakin approached us, we clashed lightsabers against one another. Obi-Wan and I used all our strength, finally pushing Anakin back.

"I have failed you, Anakin." Obi-Wan mentioned.

"I should have known the Jedi were plotting to take over." Anakin retorted.

"Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is evil." I argued, trying to knock some sense into him.

"From my point of view, the Jedi are evil." Anakin protested.

My stomach dropped at his words. I couldn't believe what was he saying. The Sith are evil, not the Jedi. His mind was truly twisted by Palpatine. Obi-Wan shouted out. "Well, then you are lost!"
