Chapter Five: Deadly Escape

Anakin stared at the Sith who stood only a few feet away from him, an evil smirk plastered onto her ashen gray face. His eyes were wide with fear and surprise and he didn't dare move, fear that any sudden movement would cause her to attack. Even though he was sure she wouldn't mind striking him down where he stood.

He heard Obi Wan curse and Ace say his name but he didn't take his eyes off of the sith warrior. Her smirk had deepened, as she was able to feel his emotions through the Force. One of them happened to be stronger than fear though....anger. He knew Traya would prey on that in order to get a rise out of him but he wouldn't let himself fall into that old school trickery. His headache had returned and he fought the urge to close his eyes to block it out.

"So are you ready to die, boy?" Traya said in a mocking tone.

Anakin finally shook off his fear or at least most of it and raised his lightsaber up, ready to fight her. Traya raised her blood red one in response and struck first. The strike had so much force behind it that it took him off balance and he stumbled back a few steps.

Anakin blocked another strike and then Obi Wan was there, joining in the fight. Together, master and padawan twirled and danced around the Sith warrior in a fight that meant life and death. If Anakin hadn't been so focused on the fight, he would have seen that the three Republic fighters were watching on with amazement and wonder while Aviana took care of the two dozen droids that had been marching towards them. The clones began firing as more droids marched into the camp.

Anakin misstepped and Traya took advantage of his stumble and used the Force to send him flying back into a pile of droids. Anakin force-flipped to his feet and then used the Force to jump over her head, landing behind her and swinging his blue lightsaber at her head. Traya blocked it and he attacked again and again, with Obi Wan as one. Whatever Obi Wan was going to do, Anakin would know and follow up with the exact opposite.

A droid had somehow found itself in the midst of the battle and Anakin sliced it in half without hesitation and continued to fight Traya, who seemed to know their every move. A shot from a long-range blaster sounded out and Traya jerked. Anakin and Obi Wan paused to see what had just happened. Traya was bleeding from a shoulder wound and Anakin looked around, spotting Ace holding a long-range blaster in his arms. Ace gave Anakin a thumbs up and he turned back to the Sith.

Traya had been staring at her shoulder for several moments now and she looked up at Anakin and Obi Wan, a look of pure fury and anger spreading on her face. She attacked then and Obi Wan and Anakin brought their lightsabers up, blocking her strike together.

Anakin was surprised when she brought out a second saber and began attacking harder. He was sent stumbling back with every strike and Obi Wan was giving it his all but they just couldn't get around her.

Anakin's headache returned but it was more of a throbbing in the back of his head and he was distracted a second too long and he was sent flying back. Anakin slammed into a tree, his head hitting the base of it as he collapsed in a heap. Groaning, he slowly got to his feet in just enough time to see Obi Wan fall, Traya standing over him her sabers crossed in a scissor position.

Anakin felt fear and anger rise up inside of him; fear of losing his master and anger at himself for getting sidetracked. Anakin stepped forward but fell to his knees, too hurt to get back up. He watched helpless as Traya prepared to kill him. More anger and fear and sadness and despair began to fill his mind, body and thoughts. He wouldn't let Obi Wan die. He couldn't.

Anakin began to shake slightly, his headache becoming worse. Much worse. His hands shook and he watched as Obi Wan did a force dodge that resulted in him getting stabbed in the shoulder and he fell, unmoving to the ground. Silence fell over the camp that had become a battle ground and Anakin, thinking Obi Wan was dead felt tears spill over his cheeks as he let out an earsplitting scream of despair and sadness.

"NOOOOOO!" Anakin's scream ripped through the air, causing everyone to look at him. Anakin felt something snap inside of him and he clutched his chest...right where his heart was, tears streaming over down his cheeks. Obi Wan couldn't be dead and yet....Anakin had saw what just happened.

Through his tears Anakin saw Traya smirk and start towards him. Rage washed over him and he slowly climbed to his feet, grabbing his lightsaber in the process and ignited the blade. Traya was going to pay for what she had done. Not just for Obi Wan but for the millions of people she had enslaved and hurt.

Anakin used the Force to launch himself into the air, letting it guide him into a clean landing behind the Sith he was fighting. He used his rage and the will of the Force to attack Traya with everything he had. Anakin danced around her and swung the lightsaber as hard as he could at her left arm, making her drop the saber on the ground.

Not hesitating even a little, he aimed his saber at her head which she dodged and blocked another with her remaining one. Anakin was kicked in the stomach before he was sent crashing back, landing beside Obi Wan's body. To Anakin he looked dead but if he had taken one more second to look, he would have seen that he was only unconscious.

And perhaps it was for the best he didn't.

Anakin shoved himself up only to come face to face with Traya's lightsaber at his throat. She smirked and said, "There's darkness in you and yet...you don't succumb to it. Pity. I think we would have been great friends."

Anakin felt more rage wash over him and his head felt like it was about to explode. He narrowed his eyes, nothing but revenge swirling in his usually bright baby blue eyes. Anakin was not going to die on this God forsaken planet by the hand of some scum who called herself a kriffing Sith  Warrior.

Anakin growled and glanced at Obi Wan's body once more, his mind blanking out for a second. Anakin glared at Traya and snarled,

"Fuck you."

Anakin was prepared for her to strike him but instead she tilted her head and stared at him. Anakin took that moment to kick her feet out from under her and jump to his feet. As he did so, agonizing pain exploded inside his head and he grabbed his head in his hands, screaming as he sank to his knees.

He felt things, things no one should ever have to feel in the Force and he wanted it to go away. It felt as if he were being ripped apart, piece by piece and then burned alive. And he saw things....no one should ever see. People dying, people being born, galaxies destroyed....he saw it all. He felt it all.

Anakin screamed and begged for it to go away, knowing the Force could not understand. Couldn't do as he wished. He had began to writhe in pain on his back, holding his head and moaning and groaning and crying out. And then his heart exploded out of his chest or at least that's what it felt like.

Anakin clutched at his heart, gasping now rather than crying and he felt the pain of watching his mother die in his arms to the happiness he felt whenever he was with Ace. Ace. His face appeared in a jumble of Anakin's memories and he calms down slightly, wanting to reach out and touch him, to call out to him.

Anakin forced his eyes open when he felt himself being moved and when he saw that it was Traya, he narrowed them forcing himself to ignore the pain. He had to avenge Obi Wan and countless others. Anakin had to do something. That was all he was thinking. He had to....

Using the Force, Anakin reached out and because there was so much anger and so much hate and so much despair and sadness, the Force reacted in an almost seemingly impossible way. Instead of him letting the Force flow through him, it exploded out of his form and destroyed everything in its path...enemies of course. And that included the Sith Warrior Traya.

Without her to support him anymore, Anakin collapsed in a heap to the ground. He was so weak and out of it, that he didn't realize Ace and the others were there by his side in seconds. Anakin felt extremely deprived of the energy to stay awake and he muttered some incoherent words but one name stood out.

Ace.

Anakin closed his eyes and let go.
