The real Ahsoka gasped and pointed at the two bodies, "It's the Son, and the Daughter. Light and Dark force aspects,"
Her tone trembled slightly, as she knew where this was going.
She didn't remember any of this but she did remember how things ended up after she woke up.
The bald headed pale man made it to his feet first. He distinctly reminded Harry of Voldemort given his unhealthy pale complexion though with more make up.
"So glad you could make it to our little party, father," The deep voiced man shouted at a third figure that had joined them flying sedately to the ground in front of the tree. Wings disappearing into his back after he landed.
"You will stop this!" The old man said.
"You are too weak for me, old man," The man in black spat as red lightning shot out of his fingers toward the old man who held his hands up, the red lightning coruscating into a shield that seemed only slightly more advanced than a Protego, "You mean nothing to me anymore!"
The old man struggled to hold the shield but was clearly was struggling to hold it up as the dark one continued to assault him. The inevitable occurred a few seconds later as the shield collapsed and the old man went tumbling backward. The Son moved forward and once more assaulted him with red lightning.
"Anakin, now!" Obi-Wan tossed the large dagger to Anakin.
However Memory Ahsoka struck at that moment leaping forward and intercepting the dagger.
She tumbled forward and then ran up to crouch next to him. She looked back at her master with a sinister smile on her face and saluted with the blade. Before turning back toward the Son.
The Son turned away from torturing the old man with a smug look on his face as he looked down at Ahsoka and the dagger she had., "Everything has transpired exactly as I planned."
The Old man lifted his head to look first at the dagger and then up at the pale glowing woman with light green hair, "You showed them the altar?!"
"I am sorry, father," The woman, still clutching her stomach said as she pushed herself up from the ground, being aided by Obi-Wan, "I didn't know how else to stop him."
The Son ignored her, and held out his hand to Ahsoka, "Give it to me, child."
Memory Ahsoka glanced back at Anakin with a smug look of her own.
"Ahsoka, no!" Anakin protested. She ignored him and handed the dagger to Son.
The real Ahsoka breathed in a sharp breath. Harry didn't react at all, just watched closely.
"Thank you," The Son practically purred as he accepted the dagger, "Your usefulness has come to an end,"
He reached out with two fingers and pressed against Ahsoka's forehead, eerily reminiscent of the same motion Harry had done a few moment earlier when showing her the portion of her mind that had been obliviated. However the result here was much different
Memory Ahsoka collapsed to the ground bonelessly. The lightsaber she still held in one of her hands slipping from her lifeless fingers.
"No!" Anakin protested, rushing forward only to be immediately pushed back with the Force by the Son with an almost negligent gesture.
He turned his attention back toward the old man, "The Jedi have brought me the dagger, and you have brought yourself."
He paused a moment to smile with relish, "Now, father, you will die," He lifted the dagger above his head and brought it down in a vicious gesture.
"Father!" The green haired woman threw herself between them with a gasp, and ended up taking the dagger in her back. The Son gasped and staggered back in horror. He looked at his hands and threw back his head, letting out a primal wail, "Whyyyy?" Before he thrust himself into the air, flying upward and then shifting in mid-flight to another form.
That caused a raised eyebrow from Harry who had otherwise been watching the memory version of Ahsoka closely
"My daughter," The grief of the old man was palpable as he pulled the dagger from her back and tossed it aside, "What have I done?"
"Do not hate him, father," The injured daughter coughed weakly, "It is his nature."
"No!" The old man protested sorrow filling his voice, "All is lost. The balance has been broken. I thought by bringing you here, I would…" He trailed off, "But I have destroyed everything."
"Can you help her?" Anakin gesturing down at a lifeless Ahsoka.
demanded
Harry's eyes were now focused exclusively on the unmoving memory version of Ahsoka.
"There is no light," The Old Man mourned seemingly unaware of Anakin's plea, "The evil has been unleashed, and the Dark Side shall consume her."
"You must help her!" Anakin demanded his voice getting more desperate. "I cannot undo what is done," regret filled the Old Man's tone, "There is no hope."
"Yes, there is!" Anakin shot back, passion filling his voice, "There's always hope!"
The Daughter reached up to stroke her father's cheek, getting his attention, before pointing at Ahsoka, with a demand in her eyes.
The old man sagged for a moment before nodding, "Then let my daughter's last act be to breathe life into your friend."
The old man moved to stand at the head of the two and gestured for Anakin to kneel in front of him. Anakin knelt and as if directed by the movements of the Old Man behind him moved his arms to rest above the forehead of the Daughter and the immobile Ahsoka.
It took only a moment for them to see the results both of the nearly unmoving bodies began to glow with a white light and lifted off the ground.
The light was so bright it forced Obi-Wan to turn away, even the real Ahsoka turned away. Harry didn't; he stared resolutely at the process, his face set in a small scowl.
The light faded and both bodies fell to the ground lifeless.
Anakin looked at the lifeless body of Ahsoka hopefully for a moment but when it remained unmoving he bowed his head. However a moment later, the body of Ahsoka gasped in a deep breath of air and pushed herself into a sitting position.
Anakin immediately moved to her before wrapping her in a gentle hug, "Hey, Snips."
"What's going on?" the woozy Memory Ahsoka asked in a voice filled with confusion.
"Uh, not much," Anakin replied in an utterly unconvincing manner, "It's good to see you."
The real Ahsoka shook her head, "I remember that part, he did tell me not much… he left some stuff out,"
