"You will not take her from me!"

Anakin paced back and forth, his eyes lowered and wild as he threw off his cloak and locked faces with Obi-Wan.

"Your anger and your lust for power have already done that."

Obi-Wan then flung off his own cloak, the only light between their faces were the dim lower blasts of the rocks below.

"You have allowed this Dark Lord to twist your mind until now . . . until now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy."

They then started to circle each other like wild dogs, back and forth, back and forth before Obi-Wan caught site of Padme laying lifeless on the ground.

His heart skipped a beat and he thought for just a split second that she was really gone.

He bent down and placed his hand on her soft snow white skin and felt a pulse, she was still alive.

"Don't lecture me, Obi-Wan. I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do. I have brought peace, justice, freedom, and security to my new Empire."

"Your new Empire?"

"Don't make me kill you."

"Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic ... to democracy."

"If you're not with me, you're my enemy."

"Only a Sith Lord deals in absolutes. I will do what I must."

With that Obi-Wan didn't see the small child he first met as a teenager padwan in Tatooine, or the head strong youth that always was the first to jump the gun.

No, this boy who he had trained and raised since a young age...a friend, a brother, and a son was destroyed.

Master Yoda was right...Anakin Skywaker was dead now, and whatever void he had to destroy now would have to be just between them.

The two ignited their lightabers and started to duel till the death.
