Chapter Eleven - The Heroes Regroup

After their encounter with the fallen Anakin Skywalker, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY along with their Force Sensitive allies were transported by the Bendu into what appeared to be the Jedi Temple some time after the attack on the Jedi Temple. As they stand in the ruins of the Jedi Temple, they could see the bodies of fallen Jedi scattered around the grounds of the Jedi Temple.

Finn: Whoa....they got hit hard....

Weiss: This...this is horrible....

Ahsoka glanced over to one of the bodies which was that of a Jedi Youngling. She knelt down to the lifeless Youngling. She could see that the youngling was killed by a Lightsaber as opposed to a blaster. This confirmed all the dark stories that she had heard about the night of the attack.

Ahsoka: Even the Younglings....Anakin.....why?

Yang: I....I still don't understand why Anakin would do something so....horrible. He was a hero!

Ahsoka: Anakin had been seduced by the Dark Side.

Piper: But...why? Why would he do this? What could've....

Ahsoka: The temptation of the Dark Side is....powerful. All it takes is one moment of weakness before it dominates you. Many Jedi have fallen to that temptation. And it has brought nothing but pain and misery. 

As Ahsoka said this, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY were processing this. Up until this point, they had seen Anakin Skywalker as a brave and powerful Jedi Knight. To see him fall so far from what he was seemed unbelievable. To Aerrow, it reminded him too much of how Ace betrayed the original Storm Hawks and became the Dark Ace. At the same time, Jaina glanced over to Darth Caedus. She grew up hearing stories about the fall of Anakin Skywalker. In her eyes, her twin brother had repeated that same story. Suddenly, blaster fire was heard nearby. Without hesitation, the group rushed to the area to find Obi-Wan and Yoda cutting down 501st Clone Troopers. When the two Jedi Masters cleared the room, the Jedi moved forward.

Obi-Wan: I hope we're not too late. I don't wish to be the last of the Jedi.

Yoda: To the very summit of the Temple, we must go. There we shall find the beacon, and end this deception.

Obi-Wan: Master....I fear for Anakin.

Yoda: Hhm....clouded is his fate. Concerned for him, I am.

Suddenly, Obi-Wan and Yoda sensed something approaching them. They turned around to see the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY along with Ahsoka, Jaina and Darth Caedus approaching them. 

Obi-Wan: You again? What are you....

As Obi-Wan questioned the group, he glanced over to Ahsoka.

Obi-Wan: Ahsoka.....

Ahsoka: Master Obi-Wan.

Yoda: Wonderful to see you again, it is Ahsoka.

Ahsoka: I....I wish we were here under better circumstances.....

With that, the group joined Obi-Wan and Yoda in making their way to the Jedi Archives where the Beacon was being guarded. Soon enough, Obi-Wan began attempting to reprogram the Beacon. Obi-Wan then begins recording a message.

Obi-Wan: This is Master Obi Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic, have fallen with a dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple...that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always.

As Obi-Wan finished the recording, the group watched as Obi-Wan reconfigured the Beacon to prevent any surviving Jedi to fall into the trap. Soon enough, a concern fell on Obi-Wan's mind.

Obi-Wan: Wait, Master. There is something I must know.

Yoda: If into the security recordings you go, only pain you will find.

Obi-Wan: I must know the truth, Master.

As Obi-Wan looked through the security recordings, he makes the dark discovery that Anakin was behind the attack. The group watched in sorrow as Obi-Wan was overcome with shock at seeing Anakin killing Jedi.

Obi-Wan: It can't be....

As Obi-Wan watched Anakin kneeling before Darth Sidious, the group remained silent.

Yoda: Destroy the Sith, we must.

Obi-Wan: Send me to kill the Emperor. I will not kill Anakin.

Yoda: To fight this Lord Sidious, strong enough you are not.

Obi-Wan: He is like my brother. I cannot do it. 

Yoda: Twisted by the Dark Side, young Skywalker has become. The boy you trained, gone he is, consumed by Darth Vader.

Obi-Wan: I don't know where the Emperor. I don't know where to look. 

Yoda turned to Obi-Wan, sensing the pain within the Jedi Master. The Storm Hawks and Team RWBY felt great sadness for Obi-Wan as they could see that the bond between Obi-Wan and Anakin was once strong. Only Ahsoka, Jaina and Darth Caedus knew of what was to come in the future. 

Yoda: Use your feelings, Obi-Wan, and find him you will.

As Yoda said this, time paused. What followed was a shift that was felt by Ahsoka, Jaina and Darth Caedus. 

Junko: Uh....what's going on? 

Stork: This is it! The end!

Soon enough, an astral projection of the Bendu, Arygyn and Ozpin appeared. 

Bendu: The stability of the Multiverse grows more unstable with every minute! 

Arygyn: We must warn you that this next excursion will be.....disjointed. 

Ozpin: We will do everything in our power to maintain the Multiverse's stability, but be prepared for anything. 

With that, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY along with Ahsoka, Jaina and Darth Caedus prepared for their next battle. In that moment, the stage for the Revenge of the Sith was set in the greater conflict against Abeloth.
