Chapter 76

All Kreia could feel was hate. Hate for the Jedi, for the Sith, for her husband who was about to fight her. She wondered, "Why isn't he happy for us? For me?" Kreia didn't understand how her husband felt. How hurt he was and how responsible he was for his beloved wife betraying him and all he stood for.

Kreia took out her saber and ignited it. "I don't want to do this. We can go away together, leave everything behind. Please y/n. Don't do this." He begged once more, trying to save his wife. "I can't Anakin. I can't go back to being powerless and lied to." Anakin knew what he had to do, remembering what he discussed with Obi Wan and Yoda earlier.

Earlier

"What's happening?" Anakin asked with both children in his arms. Bail Organa stood at his side after allowing Anakin in his ship. "The plot to overthrow the Jedi has happened. We don't know who helped the Sith nor who is alive. We haven't heard from anyone." Obi Wan explained. Anakin had an idea on who helped the Sith, but he was in denial.

"I saw thousands of troops attack the Jedi Temple. Thats why I went to look for Yoda." Bail said. "Has there been any contact from the Temple?" Anakin questioned. "Received a coded message, we have." Yoda answered. "It requests that all Jedi return to the Temple. It says the war is over." Bail added. "Well then we must go back for any Jedi who is caught in that mess." Anakin said.

"Suggesting dismantling the signal, do you?" Yoda asked. "Yes Master. There is too much at stake." Anakin told him. Then, Anakin felt something. His breathing staggered, as if someone had shoved a dagger into him.

Y/n. Somethings wrong.

"Something is wrong with y/n." Anakin stated. "What do you mean?" Obi Wan asked. Yoda was silent. "Master Yoda?" Anakin asked. "A dark path, y/n is going down. Hurt, you will be." Yoda warned the worried husband. "I don't understand."

"The last time you say y/n, when was?" Yoda asked. "After she gave birth. She was in a hurry to go somewhere. She talked about how she saved our children and how she pledged herself-" He stopped. Anakin realized the possibility, but Yoda knew.

Yoda has always known what y/n's destiny was. No one can change fate, and thats why Yoda didn't mention anything. All Yoda didn't know was when it would happen, but he knew what Anakin's role in this was.

"Destroy Kreia, you must." Yoda told Anakin. "I can't. Let me kill the Emperor. I won't kill y/n." Anakin refused. "Gone, y/n is. Consumed by Darth Kreia. To Mustafar, you must go to fulfill the prophecy."

Anakin ignited his saber and prepared himself. He knew how y/n fought, she would make the first move. And that she did. Kreia lunged herself at the Chosen One, making their sabers clash. Their sabers moved in opposite directions while Kreia led Anakin into the building. The way she fought was the same, but stronger. She used her anger, her rage.

Kreia used one arm to crash her saber onto Anakin's. He blocked it quickly and swung at her back, but she spun behind and stopped it. Kreia turned back around to face the Chosen One and led him further down the narrow hallway as their lightsabers struck. The sabers hit the walls, causing sparks to fly.

They entered the command center and fought around the bodies on the ground. Kreia used her strength to hit Anakin's saber, but he blocked her strike. They got close enough to where Kreia grabbed Anakin's arm and flipped him on the ground. Before she could strike, Anakin lifted his leg and kicked her in the jaw.

She stumbled back while Anakin got up and went after her. Their sabers clashed again, but Kreia used hers to pull his down to the side. With the saber out of the way, she grabbed his wrist and neck, choking him. Kreia lowered him closer to the ground as he gasped for air. She moved his wrist to where the lightsaber would reach his neck and pushed down, but Anakin kicked her over him.

She landed on the table and raised herself up. Kreia lunged herself to Anakin, but he kicked her with his leg, making her land on her back. He used the force to retrieve his saber and she did the same before he struck down on her. Blocking his strike, she pushed him off of her and on the ground.

Kreia got off the table and went to Anakin, crashing her saber with his. She blocked his strikes and he blocked hers. Then, their sabers met at a stalemate. Both of their hands shot out, trying to use the force on each other. Since both of them were strong with the force, they got flown across different sides of the room.

Kreia raised herself and sprinted to try to catch Anakin off guard. Anakin dodged and used his saber to hold hers off before using the force to push her away while he repositioned himself. She made her way back to Anakin and struck his saber with hers with using one arm. Their weapons went in different directions and hit the control panel, causing it to start beeping.

Not paying attention to it, they continued their fight to the balcony. Kreia ran after Anakin and smite her saber against his, causing him to stumble back. She walked to him and hit her saber against his. Anakin led her onto a pipe that stood above the lava. Kreia followed and balanced herself before striking.

Giving each other a few blows, Anakin jumped down onto a platform. She jumped down as well and dodged his attempt to hit her. In a quick motion, she punched him in the face. Anakin couldn't help but be proud of her, although he knew what she has become. Thats what made this so hard for him. The woman he loved was gone.

Kreia lunged at him and he did the same. They collided and held each other's wrist while a volcano erupted next to them. Disregarding it, they adjusted their positions and switched sides. The platform began rumbling, then disconnected from the building and started falling into the lava.

Anakin jumped onto a rope that was connected to the platform prior to it fully disconnecting. Before Kreia could, she held on to the platform that was now vertical. She saw another rope and grabbed onto it.

The Chosen One let go and landed on a piece of scrap on the lava river. Darth Kreia did the same, but landed on a droid working on the river. Neither one of them lifted their sabers, only looked into each other's eyes.

"You can join us." Darth Kreia told the Chosen One. "I'll never join you." He responded. The once beautiful girl now consumed of hate and greed frowned, "Then you will die."

Her lightsaber struck against his. They moved in fluid and swift movements, blocking each other's strikes. Anakin peered to his right and jumped onto the land. Kreia led the droid to his position and stayed on the lava.

"Its over y/n. I have the high ground." Anakin showed his arms. "You underestimate my power." Kreia told him. "Don't try it. Please." Anakin begged. Kreia scowled him and attempted to jump behind him. Anakin turned around and steadily swung his saber.

Kreia rolled down the hill away from him and screamed in agony. Anakin saw what he did. He cut off her non dominant arm and lower leg. The ash and dirt of the planet seeped into her wounds, making the pain worse. Worse than giving birth or any other occasions the young girl has faced.

As for the Chosen One, this hurt the most. He took no joy or pride in winning the battle. He only felt pain and disappointment. "I didn't want this! You left me no choice, y/n!" Anakin yelled at the woman who killed his wife. His soulmate.

"I hate you!" She yelled back in between her cries. Anakin stared into her now yellow eyes, trying to look for any sign of y/n, his wife, his lover, the mother of his children. Her eyes widened at the pain and shut tight.

"I loved you!" He shouted.

Darth Kreia could only scream at the pain she faced. The Chosen One could only watch. She flipped over on her back before darkness took over Kreia, not being able to see or feel anything anymore.

The Chosen One stared at the destruction of the woman he loved. The woman who killed his wife. Anakin saw her lay on the ground and didn't feel anything anymore. Everything in him wanted to go save her, but he remembered the prophecy- his duty.

For the first time, Anakin didn't feel hope. He didn't feel anything for awhile. He just stood and watched his wife perish. Then he snapped back into reality.

With that, the last thing the Chosen One did was pick up his late lover's lightsaber and walk back to the ship to his motherless children, leaving the place where all was lost.
