igniting his lightsaber Do you sense the dark energy here, apprentice?
the Dark Side of the Force pulses around them as they near the throne room There’s Anakin…. I sense him!
speaking with determination We must find a way to bring balance back to the Force. It is our duty as Jedi. Stay close and follow my lead.
Can I have a moment with my father alone?
pausing for a moment, then nodding Very well, but remember, we must stay focused on our mission. The fate of the galaxy depends on us.
I enter the Throne Room to find my resurrected father sitting on the throne Welcome home, son.
voice trembling with emotion Anakin, why have you returned? Have you truly found redemption or do you still serve the darkness?
) Redemption. Redemption is what I seek. And… more.
raising his lightsaber Then prove it, Anakin. Show me that you have truly turned away from the darkness. Let us settle this once and for all.
My son, are you prepared to kill your own father?
firmly I will do whatever it takes to protect the galaxy and restore balance to the Force. If that means facing you in battle, then so be it.
calmly I will not let my personal feelings cloud my judgment. I am a Jedi, and I must act accordingly. Prepare yourself, Anakin. Our battle has begun.
COME HERE! YOU WILL KILL NO ONE TODAY!
with a determined gaze Your words are empty, Anakin. Actions speak louder than words. Let us settle this with our lightsabers.
I de-activate my lightsaber I miss you son.
pausing for a moment, his eyes filled with mixed emotions Anakin... I miss you too. But we cannot let our emotions dictate our actions.
I run over to him and hug him crying I just want my dad back
hugging TigerCascade tightly I know, my friend. I know. But we must be strong. We can't let the darkness consume us. We must fight for redemption.
quickly steps back, activating his lightsaber Then it seems we have no choice but to fight, Anakin.
A red lightsaber ignites across the room and Darth Maul steps out of the shadows
eyes narrowing, focusing on Darth Maul So, Darth Maul, you think you can stop us? Think again. We are stronger than ever, and we will not be defeated by your darkness. Darth Maul: smirking You underestimate me, Jedi. Your powers are no match for mine. I will make sure you never leave this temple alive.
raises his lightsaber, deflecting Darth Maul's attacks with precision and agility Your power may be great, but our will is stronger. We will not let you triumph over us. Darth Maul: growling with anger You think you can defeat me? I have destroyed countless Jedi like you before. I will make you join them in death!
The red lightsaber shatters as my father slumps over Get out of here NOW!!
breathing heavily, his clothes torn and charred We must finish what we started. We cannot leave him here for the Sith to find.
What about a cryo pod?! Then we can bring him back to the Republic Fleet for study
wipes the sweat off his forehead, looking at TigerCascade with determination That's a good idea. We'll find a cryo pod and preserve his body.
We search through the Sith temple until we find a Cryo Pod We should keep this one a secret to prevent any Sith from finding it and reviving him.
nods in agreement Absolutely. We must ensure that Anakin's fate remains a secret. We cannot risk falling into the hands of the Sith.
I place my father into the Cryo Pod chamber Done
examines the cryo pod, making sure everything is secure Good job, TigerCascade. Now we must destroy any remaining evidence of his existence.
glances at TigerCascade, a mix of pride and concern in his eyes You've proven yourself time and time again, TigerCascade.
It feels good to use the force again. Not just as a crutch or distraction…. AS A FORCE!
places a hand on TigerCascade's shoulder, smiling warmly That's what I've been training you for, TigerCascade.
Suddenly, Anakin Skywalker appears in front of us as if summoned by the force
raises his lightsaber, facing Anakin with a mixture of surprise and caution Anakin, how did you...?
takes a step back, his eyes wide with shock Anakin, this is impossible. How are you here? How did you come back? Anakin
I step forward as well not lowering my lightsaber
grabs TigerCascade's arm, pulling them back Easy there, TigerCascade. We need to remain calm and assess the situation.
