Mystery on Mortis!

Sent to discover the origin of a distress call, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, his Padawan Ahsoka Tano, Captain Rex, and the Princesses and Prince of Chorath are stranded on a distant planet. With Princess Lara and Prince Morales mysteriously missing, Princess Roxy must now rely on the Jedi and their Captain for safety and protection until they're found. While there, they discover three beings more powerful with the Force than any Jedi have seen before. The Father keeps a fragile balance between his daughter daughter, who allies with the light, and the Son, who drifts ever closer to the dark. With his strength falling, the Father asks Anakin to stay and take his place, preserving the balance between light and dark, but after passing a perilous test, Skywalker refuses. While departing to go back home, Skywalker suddenly gets an unexpected distress signal. A signal from his supposedly dead Captain.
------

"Is this where you got their signal?" Ahsoka asked in shock as she looked up at the dark palace, gulping softly at the creepy structure. "Yeah, this is definitely where I got Rex's signal." Anakin insisted with determination as Ahsoka looked up at him.

"I don't know, Master. We both saw Rex and Roxy go over the edge. For all we know, it could be a trap." Ahsoka said while looking at the signal on her scanner. "Yes. Or Roxy and Rex made it out alive and they were captured by the Son."

"Whatever the case is, we have to check it out. But we have to be cautious. We don't know what the Son has planned for us or what we're dealing with inside. Stay alert." Obi-Wan reminded as Ahsoka and Anakin nodded before the three entered the palace.

"Our guests have arrived..why don't we greet them?" The Son muttered with a wide grin on his face as he looked between Roxy and Rex, seeing the evil smiles on both of their faces. "With pleasure."

Roxy stood up to her feet, finding her spot near the door waiting for any given moment to strike when they entered. "Welcome, Jedi. I've been expecting you."

"Where are they?" Anakin growled out, immediately getting to the point. "They? Well, you'll have to be a little more specific."

"Roxy and Rex! Where are they?!" Anakin yelled, igniting his lightsaber and holding it up at the Son. "Oh, them. Right! How could I forget the most loyal of clones and the most beautiful Queen in the galaxy?"

"Queen?" Anakin mumbled to himself. He heard a whooshing sound and looked back to see something dark fly up behind Ahsoka and send her flying out the window of the throne room. "AHSOKA!"

Ahsoka had landed on the ground below, gasping in pain as she held her ribs. She knew they were most likely broke and looked up to see what did this to her. Her eyes grew wide as she saw a figure fly from the opening of the window and land right in front of her.

"Roxy?"

"Hello, Soka. I mean, I can call you that, right?" Roxy asked, circling the injured Torguta slowly. "Roxy..whatever happen..ah..I can help you."

"Help me? Ha!" Roxy mocked, walking in front of Ahsoka and crouching down to meet her eyes. "Poor Ahsoka..always thinking she can help people when they don't need it. So pathetic."

"What's wrong with you? What did he do to you?" Ahsoka asked, trying to get to her feet, only to cry out in pain when Roxy placed her foot on top of her back and pushed her back to the ground, holding her in place.

"What he did..the Son..he gave me the ability to overpower the weak, like you. He showed me my true power, the true purpose for my powers, and he enhanced them to do as such. He even showed that to Rex. He showed Rex his purpose, his reason to keep fighting. And every Queen needs her knight in shining armor. One who can protect her, and one who is willing to do anything for her. You see, Ahsoka, you can have this power, too. But, like everyone else, you think we need to be fixed. Well, guess what?"

Ahsoka felt Roxy's foot leave her back and was immediately rolled on her back. Roxy grabbed her tightly by the throat and lifted her just above her head. "R-R-Roxy..please.."

"What's wrong, Soka? I thought you wanted to help me.." Roxy mocked, displaying a fake pouty face before an evil smile appeared back on her face. Ahsoka felt Roxy's grip grow tighter and she grasped the woman's wrist gently. "There's...still..good in..you, Roxy.."

Roxy laughed manically before shaking her head. "You are really funny, Ahsoka. And as much as I enjoy your jokes..I have other matters to deal with.." Roxy began, seeing Anakin and Obi-Wan jump from the broken window and onto the ground, both of their lightsabers already ignited.

Roxy threw Ahsoka to the ground before she grabbed the two hilts hooked to her belt. "You've got lightsabers.." Roxy began, before both hilts ignited red blades, glowing fiercely in the dark. "..I've got mine."

"Fight it, Roxy. This isn't you." Obi-Wan tried reasoning, but Roxy scoffed. " 'This isn't you. This isn't you.' Puh-lease! You all sound so annoying, saying the same thing over and over..UGH! It's irritating!" Roxy exclaimed, rolling her eyes before glaring at him.

"Don't make us do this, Princess." Anakin said while keeping his fighting stance. "Well, if you're not willing to fight me, then your death will come quicker than it has to. And that's just boring."

Roxy was the first to lunge forward, clashing her blades against Anakin's and manipulate his balance. Obi-Wan swung his blade, which ended up clashing with Roxy's blade also. Both of them were open for lower attacks, so she took advantage of one. She swung her leg into Anakin's abdomen, making him lose balance and stumble to the ground. Obi-Wan went to take a lower hit, but Roxy was fast and she blocked it,  elbowing him hard in the face right after.

"You guys are so predictable. It's hard to believe you even trained at all." Roxy taunted, swinging her blade in hand. "Oh, look, my General decided to join the party."

Anakin and Obi-Wan both sat up, groaning loudly before taking their attention to the clone captain that was approaching, his eyes lit in a fiery yellow, a wide smirk on his face and his blasters ready in hand, both index fingers resting on the trigger.

"General, it appears these two don't want to fight me, so how should we end them? Honorably or slowly?" Roxy asked, looking towards the man as she did. "Shouldn't be honorably. They didn't even try to fight you. But, slowly would take way too long."

"Hmm..well, guess we just do quick and fast. As much as I hate it." Roxy replied, holding one of the blades to Anakin's face. "No.."

The two looked up, seeing the Son approach, holding a large blade in his hand that both didn't see before. "I need him alive. The other two are of no use to me."

"Of course, sir." Rex acknowledged before he placed one of his blasters in its holster and headed towards Ahsoka who was still knocked out. "Don't get too messy, love. You still have a lot to do later." Roxy called with a smirk as she moved over to Obi-Wan.

"Wouldn't miss it."

"Kill them both. Then, I will kill my father once and for all." The Son said with an evil cackle. Roxy cackled softly, raising her blade high above her head, ready to strike down at that moment. Until..

"STOP!"
