Capítulo 27: Star Wars : Chapter 27 : Destroying II
"Played by the Dark Side of the Force, she is. Misguiding her judgement, he does.", Yoda pointed out at Ahsoka and Vader respectively, also not thinking of that possibility.
"Anakin Skywalker was weak.", Vader proclaimed. "I destroyed him."
...
Obi-Wan frowned at the Dark Lord's words, wondering why did he even take him as his apprentice if it would only cost him his brother. Rex had a visible angered look towards the Dark Lord for taking away the General and the 501st's true leader.
All the Jedi frowned at the cyborg's words just as Ahsoka's heart felt heavy, wondering what her future felt on losing the master who had since become the older brother she never had.
Ahsoka closed her eyes in anguish, before they flashed once more, determination replacing them. "Then I will avenge his death."
"Ahsoka, no!", Anakin cried out for his apprentice, fearing the worst. "Just run!"
However, he knew that despite the danger, Ahsoka isn't the type to leave her friends behind. Plo and Rex knew this as well.
"Revenge is not the Jedi way", Vader mocked her.
The Jedi present frowned at the Sith Lord making fun of their code and the principles that he destroyed.
"I am no Jedi.", Ahsoka declared, activating her two lightsabers, both enamating a white glow while Vader done the same, his crimson blade coming to life.
The audience were struck silent at the sudden motion. Anakin, Rex and Plo Koon watched in worry for the Togruta fighting the Dark Lord.
Ahsoka dashed towards Vader, who dodged a strike from above while delivering a counter-attack from his own blafe, only for Ahsoka to evade the attack and quickly brought his blade on the defensive when she poised to deliver several powerful strikes. Another slash delivered by Vader was ducked by Ahsoka, who used the Force to push Vader back away from her, momentarily stunning him.
Vader looked up to see Ahsoka attempting to slash him downwards, bringing his blade above him and forced her to somersault from behind, where she ducked another sideward slash from Vader and brought both her lightsabers in a blade-lock with Vader's crimson saber.
Everyone was impressed on how Ahsoka was fairing against the Dark Lord, some even admitting the grace and the tenacity of her skill, having been the apprentice of Anakin Skywalker after all.
"She has become more powerful than I thought", Mace admitted, her skill in Form V Shien had apparently impressed him. "Not just powerful, but refined as well"
"All those years of training even without the Order, made her stand out among the Jedi Knights", Luminara observed. "Had the Order survived and she remained, she would have been made a Master"
"And it would've been possible if a few people were willing to give her a fair trial." Anakin called out, resulting of some of the Jedi frowning. He would never forget the day that Ahsoka left the order, all because of their arrogance and their mishandlings.
Breaking the blade-lock from one another, Ahsoka cartwheeled backwards as Vader moved for the offensive, dodging his strikes along the way. Ahsoka turned back to see Vader landing a flurry of strikes, maneuvering her blades on the defensive. This went on until they made their way into the Temple's pyramid, where they continued their clash, trading blows but without any decisive results.
Landing in a blade-lock once more, Vader lets go of her, where she tried to deliver a counter attack, only for Vader to use the Force and pushed her down below the lower floors of the Temple. Vader looked at her for a moment, before noticing the pillar above him.
"Ahsoka!", Anakin called out in alarm, with Obi-Wan and Rex trying to calm him down..
"It's not over yet, Anakin." Obi-Wan assured him, though unsure himself. "She will get through this."
Meanwhile, Ezra helped up a masked man by the shoulder towards the shrine where a floating red holocron resided.
"A Temple Guard?", Shaak Ti noticed the man's headgear.
"It's only the helmet so I doubt it. But I feel that he is a Jedi as well.", Depa added, feeling a sense of familiarity towards the man.
Kit Fisto noticed something familiar on the pedestal. "Is that... Sith Holocron?"
"Probably what Vader was after. The three were trying to prevent him from retrieving it for the Empire", Luminara suggested.
"Few more steps", Ezra instructed. "Now reach!" Both men grasped the holocron at the Pedestal. "NOW PULL!"
They did at the same time, and succeeded. Ezra looked up and noticed something was happening. "The Temple is starting to collapse!"
At the same time, Ahsoka looked up and noticed this was well. A droid belonging to the group urged them to hurry. "We're going as fast as we can!", Ezra said, agitated. "Just be ready to whoaahh-?!"
Ezra felt his hand holding the holocron being pulled as Vader outstreched his hand for it to reach while the masked man helped up the young man. "No, no, no, no!", Ezra cried out.
"Kanan! It's him!"
"I know! I got you!", the man, named Kanan, replied.
As Vader continued to pull the Holocron, and Ezra with him, he failed to notice Ahsoka running behind him. The Dark Lord noticed this but it was too late and Ahsoka leapt above him and delivered a slash at Vader's mask-covered face, with the Dark Lord groaning in pain as a result.
"She's got him!", Padmé called out. Anakin breathed a sigh of relief at seeing Snips dealing a blow towards the Sith Lord in front of him.
However, Ahsoka suddenly felt fear and denial within her, suspecting the truth behind all this. She quickly shook her head of the thought
"Ahsoka! Come on!", Ezra urged the former Jedi as she lay down from the jump. She tried to get up and heard the mechanical, yet altered, voice behind her.
"Ahsoka..."
Everyone became intruiged, wondering how Vader knew of the Padawan firsthand, while Ahsoka felt chills run down her spine, wanting to know how and why Vader knew her, perhaps personally.
Unfortunately, the holovid ended there with static taking over the scenes, leaving her future self's fate ambigous to those who watched the holovid, to their own dismay and disbelief.
Needless to say, it adds truth that one of those who were watching the future is either dead or missing.
"Little 'Soka...", Plo Koon uttered, praying that the worse has not come for the young Togruta present. Those who watched the first video had one thought, that Ahsoka had became one of Darth Vader's victims. It was too much for the Kel'dor Master to think about it, while silently cursing to why he wasn't there with her.
Mustering her courage, Padmé asked. "Has she-?"
Anakin, however, wouldn't accept this, not to what he just saw. "No, we don't know what happened. She could've escaped!", he spoke in complete denial with a raised tone. He had sworn that he wouldn't let anyone hurt her. Not once, not ever.
"We are aware of that, Skywalker", Mace clarified to him. "Calm yourself."
"How could I be calm if I wasn't able to save her or Obi-Wan from Vader?!", Anakin nearly shouted that taken those present back. However, they couldn't blame him, he had his reasons at seeing this future they themselves wouldn't want to accept either.
Obi-Wan placed a hand on his apprentice's shoulde. "Anakin, calm down. Anger over to what we haven't know won't help over what's happening now. If we managed to gather the pieces together, then we'll be able to stop all of this from happening."
Sighing in defeat, Anakin relented. "I know, forgive me, Master."
The holograms of the hooded male and female appeared to them once more, their holovids activated by queue. "Now that is over with, you can now begin...", the man said in a monotone voice.
"About what?", Ahsoka wondered, curious.
The female hologram turned to finish the man's sentence. "With the truth that lies ahead..."
