Hey everyone my name is TheLastSurvivor14 and I am happy to see that we finally made it here, to this final chapter. I know I said we only had 2 chapters to got but after thinking about it, I think it was best to put the two chapters together and have ONE BIG FINAL chapter to close this trilogy that I started long ago.

It all started when I finished my Amor Brother Saga, when I had the idea of writing a story of a farm boy getting involved in something much bigger than him.

In the beginning of 2014, I began a journey that would take me almost 4 years in the making, when I first wrote the first chapter of The Assassin: The Journey of Aaron Carter. By the time we finished the story in 2015, that journey was just getting started when I uploaded the first chapter of The Assassin: The Shadow Of Desric in July 2017. After spending months of writing that story and finishing it in the middle of 2016, I knew the real fight had not yet come.

Spending the rest of 2016, and half of 2017, I saw that the finish line was so close and yet so far when I began to write the final story that would conclude this sotry once and for all. At the end of July, I finally completed this story and I have kept this final chapter locked up in storage for so long. But now I am more than happy to see that after almost four years, I can now finally upload this final chapter and conclude the trilogy I began so long ago.

I could not have done this without the Characters of Star Wars. So I'd like to thank Disney for allowing me to use thise characters from Star Wars, and this story would not exist without my OCs who stood with us all to the very end. I hope you all take the time to enjoy this final chapter and I hope that you all enjoy this FINAL story that I give to you.

A New Hope

Polis Massa

On the vast ocean of stars, a single Naboo shuttle is scene exiting hyperspace near an astroid belt. As the ship flew into the field of floating, majestic, rocks, the ship begins to fly one of the larger ones. As it flew closer to one of the large astroids, they saw a small base located on the surface of the meteor. Inside the ship was Obi-wan, watching the ship land onto the docking bay while his pilot 3PO was opening the shuttle's main door.

Without wasting a precious second, Obi-wan rushes to Padme's aid before he wraps his arms below her and carries her off the ship. Once Obi-wan was off the ship, he was immediately met by Senator Organa. Because the two were aware of what had happened to the Republic and the Jedi Order, they both knew that they had to be somewhere safe and away from the new Empire. Here, Obi-wan and his mentor, Master Yoda, would remain here where it would be safe to figure out what to do now that the Empire has taken over the galaxy.

Mustufar

Meanwhile, while Obi-wan rushed padme to the nearest doctor, a lone Imperial Shuttle is scene landing on the volcanic planet Mustufar. Soon, several clones are scene walking through the Separatist Base before standing guard at several posts before a cloaked figure began to walk through the base until he saw a burn man lying on the floor. The cloaked figure revealed his deformed face to his old friend and placed his hand on his shoulder.

Suddenly the burnt man, with only one arm remaining, began to breathe as he was woken up. He's still alive?! The Emperor thought to himself as he felt Lord Vader's beating heart. He soon looks at the clones standing guard. "Get the medical room ready. Quickly!"

"Yes sir!" The clones said before they ran to throughout the base to ready a nearby medical room that would help the Emperor rebuild his old friend.

Polis Massa

Back on Polis Massa, Obi-wan, Yoda, and Senator Organa, watch several doctors and medical droids examine Padme's body and vitals. But while the doctors did their work on Padme, Obi-wan could not forget the images he saw on Mustufar, when he watched his friend burn alive right in front of him. He remember watching Anakin's body get consumed by the lava and fire and can't forget watching Anakin crawl towards him withounly his robotic arm remaining. In Obi-wan's heart, he hoped that Anakin had finally passed away, but he knew that deep down that the boy he trained was now gone and was consumed by Darth Vader.

Before Obi-wan could think of anything else, the three men see a medical droid float over to them. Bail Organa is the first to speak. "Well?"

"Unfortunately she has suffer great trauma, and her lungs seem to be damaged by taking in too much toxic smoke. We are losing her." The droid said.

"She's dying…" Obi-wan claimed. He knew what was happening to Padme, which is what also brought great pain to his heart. The Jedi master painfully knew that Padme was choked by her own husband and by doing so, it must have locked the smoke inside her lungs, damaging them and killing her from the inside.

"We need to operate quick, if we are to save the babies." The droid added.

"Babies?" The Senator asked.

"She's carrying twins." The droid responded quickly. Out of three standing in front of the droid, Bail was the only one that was unaware that Padme was preganat, let alone carrying twins.

While the droid began to explain things with Yoda and Bail, Obi-wan looked over into the room and watched as padme peacefully laid quiet. But he knew that these were going to be her final moments in this world. The question was though, was there still time to save her children.

Mustufar

After the Emperor found Vader lying on the floor, on the near brink of death, it wasn't long until the Sith Lord had his clones bring the broken Sith Apprentice to a nearby medical room. The Sith Lord watches as his clones and medical droids stand by an operating table where he watched his fallen apprentice ache in pain while the surgery is being prepared for him.

The Dark Lord of the Sith now saw the doctors and droids begin the procedure when they start to give Vader a serum that will atleast numb the pain while the operating begins. But as they inserted the needles in him, Vader screams in pain and thrashes around like a wild animal. Because, his skin was severely burned, Vader's nerve receptors were highly senitive to pain. A needle touching his skin, felt like a hot knife digging into his flesh.

But the doctors had to work fast if they were to save Vader quickly. Thankfully, the Emperor was all too familiar with this sort of procedure, when he and Count Dooku found Desric on Naboo, burnt alive but still breathing. He remembered the trouble they went through to bring Desric back on his feet when they rebuilt his body and introduced him with a serum that would help heal his burnt wounds. However, knowing Desric, the serum would have made him highly addicted to it and was sure that the Grandmaster of the assassins, would have used every drop of it until there was no more.

It looked like for Vader's case, his body would never heal from the pain and suffering he felt when the fire was splashed onto him. In order to save his apprentice, the Emperor needed a suit of armor that would help protect Vader's damaged body, while also sustaining his life.

In doing so, Emperor Palpatine orders his troopers to get to the base's manufacturing chamber and orders them to assemble a suit that will help keep Lord Vader alive. The clones agree and rush to a room and begin to assemble a suit of armor for their new master. Like an assembly line of workers, each clone begins to use the machinery to create a black suit of armor.

While the clones did their work down below, the Emperor watched as the doctors operated on Lord Vader's lungs. While the medical droids and doctors were able to provide Vader a serum that will at least provide a protective layer on his skin to prevent any infection and all his nerve receptors, there was nothing else they could do. But his lungs however, were burned to a crisp and required their full attention.

Seeing that Vader's lungs were beyond repair, the Fallen Apprentice needed a way for him to breathe properly without having any trouble what so ever. The medical droids came up with the idea of a respiratory nachine that would be installed into his chest. This machine would allow him to breathe as if he had real lungs but the only downside to it is that the machine would have to cut into his chest and would, from time to time, require maintenance.

With the medical droids operating on Lord Vader's chest, several doctors began to operate on Vader's limbs. Seeing as how the lave was hot enough to eat through most of his limbs, with the exception of his right mechanical arm, the darks began to work on several mechanical limbs that they would attach to Vader.

Emperor Palpatine witnessed the birth of a new age when he saw his doctors rebuild his apprentice with a new body that will help him strengthen the Empire.

As hours passed by, the doctors and droids were finally finished with Vader's body. With his new limbs successfully attached, and his new respirator infused within his body, the Emperor was pleased to see that the operation was a success. But the job was not yet done. With Vader finally able to have a decent body, there was still more to come when his clones were able to finish a black suit of armor that would keep Vader alive and well.

Not wasting any precious time, the clones begin to strap on Vader's armor while the doctors carefully placed the chest plate on Lord Vader's chest, making sure that the respirator in his chest would connect with the command plate on the chest armor. In less then an hour, the Emperor saw his work unfold in front of him when he saw that Lord Vader was almost complete.

Polis Massa

Across the galaxy, Obi-wan stoody by his close friend, Padme, as she endured a pain that all mothers were too familiar with, child birth. Padme's screams could not be contained as she began to bring life into this galaxy. With all the pain and screaming she went through, Obi-wan held her hand while the droid began to tell her to slowly breath while she pushed.

Padme slows down her breathing to catch her breath while she begins to push again and again. Screaming for dear life, tears fall down Padme's face as she feels a great amount of pain that is too much for her. However the pain slipped away when she heard the cries of a newborn baby. The droid carries the baby before handing the newborn child over to Obi-wan to carry. "It's a boy." He said.

"Luke…"As if she had already new, Padme names her newborn son. While Obi-wan leans in with Luke in his hands, Padme caresses her sons cheaks, "Oh Luke…you're so beautiful…"

However Padme's words were stopped in their tracks before she suddenly felt an extreme amount of pain. She screams at the top of her lungs as she feels her second child push forward into this new galaxy. Padme's body could not take this amount of pain once more but as she pushed harder and harder, Padme suddenly heard crying that came from her second child. This one, was a girl.

The medical droid hands Obi-wan the little baby girl and looks down at Padme. "You have a daughter Padme."

"Leia…" Padme called out to her daughter while she reached her hand out to her. "She's perfect…"

While Obi-wan hed the two children in his arms, he suddenly felt a disturbance in the remains of the force. He knew that Padme's time in this world was running out. Padme knew this as well and knew that she had only one thing to say to her friend. "Obi-wan…there's still good in him…I know…."

Suddenly, the heart rate monitor sin gives off the sound of a flatlined heart, and as Obi-wan turned to the machine, he looked over at his friend before she slowly closed her eyes and her hand fell lifeless. Obi-wan, Yoda, and Bail, looked down at their friend who stood by them in their time of need, and mourned for her loss. With her children now orphans, the three men knew that the Empire would be coming for them soon and if Anakin was still alive, he would stop at nothing until he had these two children. The three men may have failed in protecting everything they fought for, but now it was their job to protect Padme's children from the Empire. It was their job to make sure the galaxy had a new hope.

Mustufar

With Lord Vader finally assembled in his now body and armor, the Emperor watched as Vader's helmet was being put onto him. As if the helmet was destined to go on him Lord Vader's head slides into the helmet perfectly before the room is in utter silence when Darth Vader's breathing echoes all around the room.

The Emperor leans in close to his friend and speaks to his friend. "Lord Vader, can you hear me?"

"Yes, Master." The Dark Apprentice of the Sith said, with his deap robotic voice. But as Vader examined the room with his new helmet he looks around and sees that someone he knew was missing. "Where is Padme? Is she safe? Is she alive?"

"It seems, in your anger, you killed her." The Emperor spoke.

"No…I couldn't have…she was alive…I FELT IT!" Darth Vader spoke, enraged that despite everything he did to protect the woman he loved, it turned out that his anger and obsession with power was enough for him to choke his wife, enough for her to die by his hand. As Darth Vader grew enraged, he pulls into the force and suddenly begins to choke every clone trooper within the room before breaking free of the operating table. As he began to walk towards the door, he releases the clones form his grip and walks outside into the volcanic planet.

Once Darth Vader reaches outside he watches the lave river flow beneath the base as he looks out toward the field of volcanoes surrounding the base. The Emperor follows Vader and watches his new apprentice scream out into the fire. After everything he did, Vader failed to save the one thing he fought to protect and nothing could ever heal the pain he was endure as he let out the loudest scream that could be heard across the volcanoes.

Naboo

A day had gone bye since the death of Padme, and the birth of her two twins, Luke and Leia. After the children were born, Obi-wan, Yoda, and Bail Organa knew that it only seemed right that Padme would be laid to rest on her home planet of Naboo. As they flew through hyperspace, the three men sat around a small circular table where they began to think of a plan of how to protect the children from the empire. Obi-wan is the first to speak out.

"We must hide the children where the Sith cannot sense there presence." He suggested.

All three men knew that this was the best plan possible to ensure their safety. But Master Yoda added a suggestion that stirred the others two men. "Separated, the children must be. In order to protect them from the Emperor."

Bail nods his head at the Jedi Master. "I will take the girl. My wife and I have always wanted to adopt a baby girl. She will be loved and cared for."

Yoda nodded in agreement, but Obi-wan was concern. "And what of the boy?"

"To Tatooine." Yoda quickly responded. "A family, we will find him."

"I will protect the boy and watch over him." Obi-wan stated, promising Yoda that he will make things right. After failing to protect Anakin from the dark side, Obi-wan saw his son Luke as a sign of redemption. If he can protect Anakin's son from the Dark Side, then maybe he can be forgiven for his failure of allowing his friend becoming an agent of evil.

Master Yoda knew the reasons why Obi-wan wanted to stay on Tatooine with Luke and it was more than enough to grant Obi-wan this last wish. He then looks at his two friends. "Until the time is right, disappear we must."

"Very well then." Bail said. "I will have my men and I return Padme's body to her family here on Naboo. She deserves all the proper rituals for her funeral."

Master Yoda nodded to the Senator of Alderaan and watched him turn away, this was the last time he was going to see him. But before Obi-wan could leave the room, he stops his old friend. "Master Kenobi, a moment I would like to have."

Obi-wan staid in his chair and waited for what Yoda wanted to speak. "Yes Master?"

"In your time of isolation, training I have for you." The green Jedi said.

"Training?"

"Yes." Yoda spoke. "An old friend, has found the path to immortality. One who has returned from the netherworld of the force. Your old master."

"Qui-gon!" Obi-wan was surprised and shocked to hear that his Master's voice was not as silent as he thought. It had been many years since he watched him die by the hands of Darth Maul, and even though he knew that Qui-gon was one with the force, he did not believe that he was entirely gone forever. Hearing that he had somehow found a way to reach out to Yoda, Obi-wan was at a loss of words.

"How to commune with him, I will teach you." Yoda said.

As the sun began to set on this final day, a funeral was held in Padme's honor. With her body dressed in beautiful clothing, and her hair braided to perfection, Bail Organa walked beside her open casket while her parents and sister walked behind her as well as several friends and senators who knew her well. To make sure that her children were safe, Bail's men had made Padme look like she was still pregnant and the Senator of Alderaan give them a story that she died in a tragic accident on Coruscant, killing her and her unborn children.

While the funeral was lit up with small candles, held by several dozen children, the carriage towing her casket, made it's way to a small church where her body would be laid to rest and all her friends would pay their final respects to the woman who gave them more than just hope, but strength and courage.

Far from the funeral, hidden in the shadows on top of a rooftop, Obi-wan watched from afar as the funeral made its way to the church. As he watched Bail Organa walk beside Padme as well as her family, he vowed that he would make things right for her children. While Bail would take Leia and raise her right, he would make sure that Luke would grow to be twice the man Anakin was. He will not fail her.

Unknown Space

Across the stars, several star destroyers are scene in a large cluster. There had never been this many star ships before. But as the ships flew closer to one another, across the blackness of space, was a space station on a massive scale being built in front of their eyes.

Inside one of the star destroyed, the Emperor stood in the command bridge and watched as several starships began to slowly assemble the machine he dreamt for many decades. After a life time of battling the Jedi, the Sith Lord achieved the impossible. He had wiped out the Jedi order from existence. Now there was no one to stand in his way from creating this battle station that will change the fate of the galaxy forever.

As he watched the Death Star being constructed in front of him, the room fell in silence as every member of the ship heard a deep heavy breathing as a dark silhouette entered the command bridge. Without even turning his head, Emperor Palpatine knew that it was his apprentice, Darth Vader.

For so long, Palpatine waited for the right opportunity to strike at the heart of the Jedi. He needed a way to cripple the Jedi Order from within and for many years he planted the seeds of darkness into Anakin Skywalker. As time went on, the Sith Lord watched as Anakin slowly question the beliefs of the Jedi Order before becoming more rebellious and more uncontrollable to his masters. It was only a matter of time until he took the Jedi Order's Chose One and turned him into a Sith Lord. It wasn't hard, all it took was a little push.

With Darth Vader at his side, the two men watched their future being built before their eyes. For Vader, he accepted the fact that it was Anakin Skywalker's weakness that could not save Padme and her children. Without hesitating, he held onto the belief that he destroyed Anakin on Mustufar. With no moral code holding him back, Lord Vader would make sure that this galaxy would be given a firm grip of justice and security. If any Jedi was still alive, and tried to defy the Empire, he would deal with them personally.

Sooner or later, their dreams of securing the galaxy would come to fruition when their new battle station would be complete and fully operational. No one in this galaxy would dare rise up against this growing empire.

Alderaan

After Padme was laid to rest on Naboo, Bail Organa waisted no time in returning home with his new daughter Leia. After dropping Obi-wan and Luke on Tatooine, and Yoda on Degabah, the Senator raced back home to show his wife the baby girl they have adopted. As Bail flew through hyperspace, he began to think of Yoda and Obi-wan. He felt uneased, knowing that the two of them were isolating themselves from the rest of the galaxy. Seeing that he was not a jedi, he would never understand. But what he did understand was that boy, Padme's son, would grow up on Tatooine.

In a perfect world, he would not have hesitated in taking in Luke as his son. He would want Leia to be her twin brother. With their mother and father gone, Bail new that the two needed each other now more than ever. And knowing that Leia would grow up having a happy childhood here on Alderaan, Bail worried of what kind of childhood Luke would have on Tatooine.

He remembered Padme telling him the stories of the hardships Anakin went through on that desert planet and feared that his son would go through those same hardships. But one thing did calm Bail's nerves though. Despite what world Luke was being settled into, he had Obi-wan watching over him.

As his ship, exited out of hyperspace, Bail watched as his ship made its decent onto his home planet before flying across the beautiful mountains and lush green forests before reaching his home.

Walking through the halls of his home, he watched Leia look up to him with those innocent eyes while starring at the beautiful home in awe.

Not a moment too soon, Bail saw his wife sitting in the dinning room that overlooked the mountains full of snow. She watched her husband walk over to her with a little bundle of joy in his arms. Bail sits down next to his wife befire handing her Leia. The little baby girl gave her adoptive mother, the most beautiful eyes a child could give. Seeing the baby alive, healthy, and happy, Bail was sure that this child would grow up to be a strong woman someday. Hopefully she will be a lot like her mother.

Tatooine

Across the galaxy, Obi-wan is scene riding a eopie across the deserts of Tatooine, with looked wrapped in a warm blanket. After he and Bail landed on the desert planet, the two had parted ways on Mos Eisly. If Senator Organa landed his shuttle in the desert, where Luke would be brought over to his new family, more attention would be brought over to them by either the Hutt clan that ruled the underground criminal network, or by the Empire.

To keep Obi-wan and Luke's safety, Bail had decided to drop them off on Mos Eisly while he refueled his ship there and Obi-wan snuck off the ship with look before they took a ride on a eopie.

Knowing that this was going to be hi new home, Obi-wan knew that Imperial Starships would make their way to this planet and would also settle in. This meant that if the Jedi Master went by his real name, he would bring unwanted attention to him and would endanger Luke. He knew he needed a new name. Something simple, something easy to remember, and something that would bring hope and comfort to Luke.

As they reached their final destination, after traveling through the desert for quiet some time, the two binary suns could be scene setting across the desert horizon. Their warm glow was something that Obi-wan had not experienced in his life. He took the moment to stare at the suns before looking aside to see a farmer and his wife standing outside their moisture farm, their home.

As Obi-wan got off his four-legged friend, he brings Luke down with him, and brings him over to the young woman. As it had turned out, Obi-wan had learned that Anakin had a Step-Brother, Owen Lars, and it seemed that this man admired work and appreciated the good work the Jedi did. But Owen, had also learned that his step-brother and his wife were tragically killed in an accident on Coruscant, and that their only child was now an orphan.

After Obi-wan was able to find the Lars, and informed them of what happened to Luke's parents, Owen and Beru did not hesitate in taking in their newborn nephew to live with them.

With Beru holding Luke in her arms, she looks up at the cloaked Jedi Master and smiles at him. "Thank you…"

Beru wanted to thank this man for bring their nephew home safely, but she did not know his name. "Ben…Ben Kenobi."

The young woman smiles and nods her head before she turned towards her husband with Luke in her arms now. But before she took a single step. Ben speaks out to her. "Take good care of him."

The Aunt of Anakin's and Padme's son looks back at Old Ben and gives him a look that shows promise and responsibility. "We will."

With those last words, Ben watched as Beru walked up to Owen and soon showed him little Luke, sound asleep and wrapped up in his blanket. As Owen looked down and soon held his nephew, he made a vow that he would protect Luke and raise him right, and hopefully he would be better man then his father was.

While the new family kissed their baby nephew, Ben watched from a distance before he got back up on his eopie and rode off into the desert. As he turned away from the Lars, he looks back and smiles at Luke before looking down at his father's lightsaber. He hoped that one day, the boy would take the path of the Jedi and believed that he would be a far better man, one that would make his mother and father proud.

In Ben's eyes, he saw Luke as a beacon of light, in a world of darkness. One day, he will bring hope to the galaxy.

Saleucami

With the galaxy fallen under the rule of the Empire, cities were being invaded by Imperial Starships before troopers were sent down to raise the flag of the Empire while the people watched their world, their home, be taken. But while the Empire began to expand across the ocean of stars, one remained untouched for now.

On the planet of Saleucami, a lone shuttle is scene landing in a abandoned village, that once had people living in the homes. The shuttle opens its doors before Ahsoka is scene walking down the steps of the shuttle followed by a floating casket caring Aaron's body. Behind her was the family Aaron had met on Jakku, the people who saved him and took care of him when his friends believed he was dead. With Joran walking on one side of the casket, Avlin is scene with a tear in her eye while she held her little sister Lianna on the other side of the casket.

After Aaron died on Rhen Var, Ahsoka remembered that Aaron had mentioned that he would go back to Jakku to get Joran and his daughters off the planet and would take them to a more beautiful home where Lianna could grow up happy. But after what happened, Ahsoka and her remaining friends returned to the planet alone before finding the family and told them what Aaron did to protect his family.

While the Ahsoka led the group through the village, Aaron had grew up in, she looked around and saw that the streets were empty, the markets that once brought life within this place, were silent, walking through Aaron's home was a ghost town.

But Ahsoka knew that if Aaron was to be buried, she would lay him to rest in the place he grew up in, the place he called home.

As Ahsoka led the funeral, Clone Captain Rex is scene pushing Aaron's casket before Lux is scene walking off the ship with Grace's open casket following behind before it is scene that Saw is helping Lux push the casket behind the group before three younglings walked beside them.

Lux knew all to well what it meant to lose someone that he loved, and unfortunately, he was all too familiar with the pain. He knew how that pain first felt when he lost his mother, and then not too long ago, he lost Steela. But after all the pain he had gone through, he met Grace and fell in love with her. After Grace helped him free Onderon from the Droid Army, Lux heart sore when he learned that Grace wanted to live a life without worry, life without pain and suffering, a life with him on Onderon.

It was then that the two expressed their love for one another. But now, Lux felt emptiness within him when he walked in front of Grace's open casket. He looks black and her flowing blonde hair spread as if the sun was shinning behind her, as if she was the sun herself. And while he looked down at the woman he loved, Saw felt like lost another sister in this war.

After losing Steela on Onderon, Saw went into a dark path that only Grace could bring him back to the world she needed him in. Whenever there was arguing between Saw and someone else, Grace would step in and calm her friend down. To him, Grace was the sister he saw in Steela. Now that he was pushing her casket, he felt as if he was pushing steela's casket.

The younglings walked beside their friends as the funeral began to march through the village. Katooni, Ganodi, and Gungi, held their heads down in silence as they walked beside theire friends. They had lost too many friends in this war, and with the Jedi Order gone, they felt emptiness and did not know where will they fit in this vast galaxy.

With the march pressing forward, Kai is scene walking down the ship, while he used the force to bring in two more caskets. This time they were Derric and Barriss' bodies. Ahsoka looked back and watched as Kai pushed and pulled the two bodies with ease and watched the broken Jedi keep his head down.

Aaron and Grace loved Derric. They loved him like he was their brother. Seeing Kai with the two caskets made Ahsoka realize that at least Derric and Barriss were at peace, and were together. For her and Lux, however, the two people they loved were gone and it would be a long time before they were going to be reunited with Aaron and Grace. They will have to wait.

With everyone walking into the woods of the planet, Marcus is scene pulling and pushing Jaybo and Ventress' casket. After all the adventures they had, it looked like Jaybo's luck finally ran out, and even though everyone could only remember the bad things Ventress did for them, Marcus still saw the good in her and everyone saw it when she gave her life to protect her friends.

With everyone walking through the forests, they had finally reached their destination. In front of them was a large lake that stood in the middle of forest where a large cave is scene sitting beside the water. This would be the perfect place to lay their friends to rest. While Joran, Avlin, Lianna, and the three younglings waited outside the cave, Ahsoka and her remaining friends went into the large cave and soon began to set up a proper burial where each of their deceased friends would sit on a pile of rock and stone that would also sit on a pile of dry wood. Once the bodies were set, the fire would be lit and the cave would be sealed forever.

While Ahsoka and her friends worked insde the cave, Joran and Avlin looked down and saw Lianna and her new friends look down at the bodies of Aaron and his fallen friends.

Everyone felt as if they had all lost a member in their family.

After working inside the cave for quiet some time now, everything in the cave was set, all that they needed now were the bodies. While Ahsoka, Kai, and the younglings, used the force to gently lay Aaron, Derric, and Barriss onto their stone beds, Lux and Saw carefully grab Grace's body and lie her on top of her bed of rocks and dry wood. Marcus and Rex, do the same for Jaybo and Ventress before everyone was finally ready to begin the ceremony.

With the cave big enough to hold everyone's bodies, there was little room left to have everyone in at once. So, everyone would take a turn to walk through the cave where they would first see Ventress lying peacefully on top of her stone bed before seeing Jaybo, Barriss, Derric, Grace, lie silent on their beds before they would finally see Aaron's body lie at the end of the cave.

As everyone took their turn, Ahsoka stood outside and watched as several of her friends would slowly walk in and pay their final respects to the people they came to know. One thing, Ahsoka knew, was that this would be the prefect place to lie her lightsabers to rest. Knowing that the Empire will be looking for Jedi, it seemed like this was the right decision to lay her sabers to rest, with the man she loved. Kai, and the younglings agreed with Ahsoka's logic and did the same as well.

While Ventress held her two lightsabers in her hands, Jaybo held onto Ganodi's lightsaber while Barriss held onto the lightsaber she forged when she was a youngling. Derric is scene holding both Gungi's and Kai's lightsabers, before Katooni places her lightsaber in Grace's hands. All that was left was Aaron.

With everyone walking in and out of the cave, Ahsoka watched as her friends pay their respects to Aaron and the people he knew. The last people to go into the cave were Joran and his two daughters. Ahsoka could not thank them enough for saving Aaron's life. However Joran realized, that with Aaron's help, Aaron was able to save him and his family on Jakku.

While Joran looked down on Aaron's body, Avlin and Lianna looked down onto their friend, remembering the promise he had made to them, that he would come back for them. Now it looks like Aaron will have to wait a long time before he would see this family again.

Now that everyone had their time saying goodbye to Aaron and his friends, it was Ahsoka's turn. As she walked past the bodies, she bows her head in silence as she bids farewell to those that she loved and lost in this war. She walks past her friends that she knew for a long time, and while some were considered her enemies when they first met, in time she named them allies, even friends. Now, after so many years of fighting, atleast they will now be put to rest.

As she reached Aaron's body, she looks down at him and places her two lightsabers in his hands. While she placed her swords beneath his hands, Ahsoka saw the bracelet Aaron gave to his sister before all this madness unfolded and changed his life. A tear came down her eye when she saw the bracelet and then looks down at her hand and sees the ring, Aaron gave her when he decided to make her his wife. Although Ahsoka wanted to stay in there longer, she knew she had to say goodbye.

While a tear came down her eye, she leans down and kisses Aaron's forehead before whispering her final words to him. "Goodbye Aaron. Find Peace…We'll see each other again."

After Ahsoka whispered those final words, she looks back and sees her friend Rex holding a lit torch behind her. It was time. As Ahsoka left the cave, she lit the wood beneath Aaron's body and watched it catch on fire before she did the same to everyone else inside the cave.

With the fire consuming their bodies, burning their ashes into the force, Ahsoka reached the outside of the cave before she handed the torch to Rex before turning to Kai. Not wasting a precious second, the two reach their hands out and use the force to bring down several boulders above the cave. Soon the large rocks were laid ontop of one another in front of the cave's entrance, sealing the bodies inside so that they would not be disturbed.

Now that the funeral was finally over, Ahsoka watched as her friends made their way back to the ship. But while Rex led the group through the forest, Lux stayed behind with Ahsoka before Saw and Marcus the last to leave the lake.

Lux looks over at Ahsoka dn knew the pain she was going through. "You know, Saw and I are taking anybody to Onderon. We've spoken to Marcus and the younglings, and their more then happy to come home with us."

"What about Rex, Kai, Joran and his family?" Ahsoka asked.

"They agreed that each of them will go their separate ways." Lux said. "Rex was able to contact a couple of clones who have isolated themselves and will meet them soon. Kai, he's been through too much, and thinks it's best if he goes his own way, away from everyone."

Ahsoka understood why Rex would want to reunite with several of his brothers, and couldn't blame why this padawan wanted to live in isolation. Maybe if he has no one around him, he won't cause any pain to others. But he knew that he would have no one to comfort him in this dark time.

"What about Joran and his family?" Ahsoka asked.

"After everyone is settled in, they are going to smuggle themselves on a ship to Naboo." Lux said. "After everything they went through, they deserve to live a life of peace."

"That's good." Ahsoka said. Out of all her friends, Joran, Avlin and Lianna were the ones who would not be considered a threat to the Empire. At least they would be the ones who would have a shot a living a peaceful life in this new world.

"You know, you're more then welcome to come and live with us on Onderon. You'd be perfectly safe." Lx suggested.

As much as Ahsoka wanted to go to Onderon and try to live a normal life, she knew that if she went, she feared that she would endanger the lives of her friends. "I can't."

"I understand." Lux knew all too well on the reasons why Ahsoka chose not to come back with him. "Where will you go?"

"I don't know."

"Well, if you ever need any help please…don't hesitate to call." Lux said.

Ahsoka nods before she hugs her fiend one last time. As the two wrapped each other in their arms, they tried to savor this final moment they had with each other until Ahsoka broke the hug. "Goodbye Lux."

As the two broke their hug, Ahsoka turned around and faced the woods and the smoke coming out of the cracks of the cave. She then grabs a small back of food and gear before walking past the cave, and into the forest until she found a new way off this planet that would keep her friends safe.

While Lux only took two steps, he looks back and sees that Ahsoka is gone. With a tear going down his eye, he had only one thing left to say. "Goodbye Ahsoka."

After all her friends had finally left, Ahsoka is scene walking through the forests with a ponch covering her headtails. As she looked ahead and saw the galaxy in front of her, she knew that life in this galaxy was going to be more difficult than she thought. But after all she went through she had Aaron and her friends watching over her, when she reached into her pocket and pulled out the ring Aaron gave her. Having this ring meant that Aaron would always be a part of her life and knew that this ring was a symbol that her love for Aaron, would never fade away.

15 Years Later

Unknown Space

As Ahsoka looked at the ring she carried for so long, she remembered the love she had for her husband while her body was now a fully grown, beautiful, adult woman. While her headtails grew long, the marking son them changed as well when she grew older every year that went by. After lasting this long, in the days of the Empire, Ahsoka was able to survive in this world while also inspiring others as well.

After the Empire took over the galaxy, life for Ahsoka seemed rough at first. As she went by different names, moving from planet to planet, and working many jobs, Ahsoka was able to see what life felt like without the Jedi Order, and without her friends. But after seeing that enough was enough, Ahsoka lid the way to rebellion with her new white lightsabers and started a fire that inspired people to rise up against the Empire.

While she sat inside her shuttle, she smiled while starring at Aaron's ring, and remembered the love they shared for one another. But while she continued to gace into it's beauty, she heard a distress call coming in. She places a hood above her head and also pulls down a thin black sheet of cloth to cover her face before she answers the call. "This is Fulcrum, who is this?"

To her surprise she saw a familiar astromech droid that was hand built by a new friend she met not too long ago. While she began to hear the droids plead for help, Ahsoka knew what to do. "Alright, alright! Send me the coordinates to your location. I'll rendezvous with several shuttles and we'll rescue you and your friends."

The droid acknowledged this before hanging up and soon sent Ahsoka the coordinates where his ship was at.

While Ahsoka contacted several cruisers near by, she readies her ship while looking out into the deep black space. She knew that Aaron was watching over her right now. With no one around, she speaks to him. "Well Aaron, it looks like the galaxy is giving us a second chance. Let's hope we can get through this together."

Our love will outshine the stars in the galaxy. A voice in her head said before she activated the shuttle's hyperdrive and made the jump to lightspeed. It seemed like it was time for the galaxy to start believing in hope again.

The End

I saw the light fade from the sky
On the wind I heard a sigh
As the snowflakes cover
My fallen brothers
I will say this last goodbye

Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away

Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the sea

Under cloud, beneath the stars
Over snow and winter's morn
I turn at last to paths that lead home

And though where the road then takes me,
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell

Many places I have been
Many sorrows I have seen
But I don't regret
Nor will I forget
All who took that road with me

Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away

Over hill, and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the sea

To these memories I will hold
With your blessing I will go
To turn at last to paths that lead home

And though where the road then takes me,
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell

I bid you all a very fond farewell

Well everyone, that is it. That is the ending of The Assassin: The Final Stand and the is the ending of The Assassins Trilogy. Seeing at where I started on this site, and how each of you enjoyed my stories, I cannot thank you enough. And now, I have one more thing left to say to you all before I say farewell.

Thank you for being a part of this journey.

Over the past few years, I have shared with you some stories and memorable experiences, inside the far reaches of the Star Wars Galaxy. It's been one hell of a ride and I am glad to have shared it with you.

As I continue forward and search among the ocean of stars and imagination, I remain still inspired by you, the fans, and your love for a galaxy far far away. Thank you very much, and may the force be with you.

Goodbye everyone :)
