Obi-Wan found himself running through the halls with lightsabers pointed at the stormtroopers trying to attack him. He used his sapphire blade to deflect the shots back at them. It felt like the Clone Wars over again. He could slowly feel his strength return, as he fought on. He could feel the battle going outside as he kept fighting through the halls. He had to rescue Tala, then leave the planet, perhaps after disappearing once this was done. He sliced through a trooper's side, killing him before he got surrounded by two purge troopers, one on front and back. They use their flamethrowers in an attempt to burn him, but Kenobi leaped over, slashing one on the back, and using the force to push the other back, knocking him unconscious.
Obi-Wan continued running, avoiding the stormtroopers that were running through the halls. He felt Tala was nearby. He felt the fear creep up in him, he might lose another person and it was his fault, or least that I'd what Obi-Wan thought. Reva was Leia, now Tala because of what his apprentice did. Best case was to save Tala, then leave, perhaps even get Reva to his side. Anakin was coming, or Darth Vader was. The formar Jedi Master could feel it , but he wanted to avoid it, knowing his current strength may not be enough to stop him. Perhaps the two of them, and Quinlan Vos would be enough, but the question came back to him if he could bring himself to kill his former apprentice. He had his chance on Mustafar, and walked away. Because of that choice, he made a more powerful monster, which made it his responsibility in defeating the dark lord of the Sith.
The next room he saw a trophy case, Obi-Wan gasped, as they were filled with remains of dead Jedi. Each of these deceased Jedi were from young ages up to older such as Jedi Master Tera Sinube, whose corpse was being persoved. Obi-Wan couldn't believe it, there at least below one hundred of these. He pressed his palm on the glass, mourning those who died resisting their Empire.
Obi-Wan picked up his comms to answer it, "Hello?"
"Kenobi its Kawlan, we just launched out attack. Stormtroopers are coming out everywhere, I don't think we will last very long. Cody told me you two separated, where are you?"
"Tala got taken trying to locate me. I am on my way to rescue her"
"Where are you right now?" Kawlan asked.
Obi-Wan was still looking around, seeing the dead Jedi, "You wouldn't believe it. I found a room of Jedi, the Empire made a tomb of them displayed as trophies"
"My wife was taken by these animals," Kawlan pointed out, still fighting back against the Imperials in his way.
"I could look for her to confirm" Obi-Wan offered, but he was refused.
"Don't, I know in my heart she is gone. Right now we need to get out of here. We are stranded outside, they locked the doors. Once you find Tala, unlock it"
"Alright I will, may the force be with you" Obi-Wan hung up.
He continued to follow his instincts, getting closer, he could feel the emotion coming back to him. The short time they spent together, he felt his connection to Tala grow stronger, he hadn't felt that way since Satine, but he feared what would happen, which is why he had to save her. It motivated him to run faster u til he stopped at the door across. Still lightsaber still in his hand made him speed up on.
Reva was already waiting in the control room, her lightsaber blade across from Talas who was already dressed in an Imperial uniform, as she was trying to sneak in. The blade was close to her neck, ready to slice the head clean off. The Inquisitor gave a nasty smirk at Kenobi, slowly moving the blade a inch closer before you move, signaling what would happen if Obi-Wan charged her now.
Obi-Wan looked at Tala, who had no fear in her eyes, he then turned to Reva, "This has gone far enough Reva. Put down your blade, and let her go, it is not to late"
Reva snarled, angry, "And do what?"
"Join me, its not too late" Obi-Wan said, putting his lightsaber down as a sign of peace despite Reva not being interested.
Reva scoffed at this, "No, he killed all my friends, and you did nothing, now you watch, as I kill this woman in front of you"
Obi-Wan is powerless, he stretches a hand for her to stop, but its to late. Tala already head butted the Inquisitor in the face before getting away. Reva staggered, about to swing her single blade, but Obi-Wan retracted his lightsaber on time to block the strike. Reva tried to push Kenobi back, but Obi-Wan went to his third form of lightsaber combat to defend himself. The two locked lightsabers, and stepped back. They circled each other, trying to predict their next move. Reva activates her second lightsaber, roaring, as she lunges towards her enemy. Obi-Wan blocks the strikes, looking for an opening. He ducked his head, and blocked before stepping back. He noticed her blade spinning, the circles going around. This gave Obi-Wan an idea. He continued to stagger back, avoiding the twerley blades. He waited patiently until he pressed his attack. The blue sapphire blade went into the two lightsaber blades, and cut it in half, sending Reva on one knee. She stood frozen in shock, looking up, she saw Obi-Wan's lightsaber pointing at her neck.
Obi-Wan stared at her hatred eyes for several moments. He felt sympathy. She had not asked for this, but it was chosen when a young girl watched all her friends die. He lowered his lightsaber, turning it off, "No, I am not like you or any of the fallen Jedi who chose to serve the Empire. You did many bad things Reva, but you can still make it right, you just have to come with me"
"Vader will kill me if I run" The Third Sister remarked.
"He won't, you will disappear far away so that the Empire won't find you" Obi-Wan continued to plead with her in hopes she could see reason. Reva looked like she was going to listen, he could sense the conflict boiling inside, she stared at the ground for several minutes, lost in thought.
Reva looked at him, but didn't say a word, instead she clenched her jaw in defeat.
Obi-Wan stood in understanding. He decided to clip the weapon on his belt before tuning his back. He gave her one last goodbye. Once he had his back turned, Reva in a rage picked up her broken lightsaber in an attempt to stab Kenobi in the back. What stopped him from turning around, and activating his lightsaber again was a sound of blaster shots. Obi-Wan had his eyes opened, Tala had saved him by aiming her blaster. He looked to see Reva coughing, and she fell on her knees, three blaster shots hitting her chest. She fell, but not before Obi-Wan caught her.
Reva looked at him in shock, despite what she has done, her foe still gives her compassion. She then spoke, but in a weak voice, "You must promise me Obi-Wan, you will kill him. Stop him before he hurts more children" those were the last words before Reva Sevander died, her eyes not even shutting, Obi-Wan had to do that for her.
The emotionally drained Jedi stood up, looking with sympathy. He turned his head to Tala who had not said a word yet.
"I had to do it Obi-wan, she was going to kill you" she told him.
Obi-Wan let out a deep breath before looking away, "I thank you Tala, but can't help to think that she wasn't like this. I didn't know her, but I could tell that death, and destruction changed her. Now come on lets go" he told her, leaving the room, but not before looking at the controls, unlocking the doors. Obi-Wan went through his comms to speak, "Kawlan I found Tala, I activated the doors"
"Thank Obi-Wan, we are marching in now to assist Cody, but we still don't have the manpower to keep up this fight. Catch up with us when you can"
"Understood, Kenobi out"
Obi-Wan continued running through the halls with Tala, trying to find a way off this maze of a building, but he still had a bad feeling that something close was coming by.
