"The young Kenobi now stands before me a Jedi warrior and will soon be a great Sith warrior.", the Emperor said studying Taneth. After Vader 'rescued' her from the hunters, they headed to the second incomplete Death Star. Oddly enough Taneth did stand before Palpatine armed. One quick, clean, cut and Palpatine would be gone along with his plans for the rebellion.

"Your half right, your highness.", she said emphasizing the last part with a hint of sarcastism. Behind the Emperor, Vader ignited his crimson saber and walked towards her. Taneth ignited her lavender blade and took a few steps back. Without warning Vader raised his blade up to slash at her throat. She jumped back and blocked the slash then brought her blade down to meet his side. He blocked just as easily and threw slashes at her. Each time Taneth blocked with ease but was steadily moving backwards.

In a flash Taneth jump/flipped over Vader's head while blocking his blade then landed behind him. Before he could turn around, she spin kicked him in the back. He stumbled forward but retaliated quickly by turning around and in a quick motion slashed at her shoulder. It wasn't deep, but the pain was intense. Taneth's focus was drawn away from her shoulder and to Vader's many slashes.

Vader gave one more attempt to slash her stomach. Taneth quickly leaped into the air, barely missing the blade, and landed in the rafters above. She caught her breath while watching the Sith lord. You can kill him just as your father would have if he hadn't given up., a voice said. Taneth shook her head trying to stop whatever it was. She didn't notice Vader cutting the cable to the rafters she was on. Taneth fell, losing her saber, and painfully hit the cold floor. The dark lord's saber was very close to her throat now. Vader raised his blade up. Taneth rolled back avoiding the blade then jumped to a crouched position avoiding the next.

Her saber was across the room. She called it to her and ignited the blade in time to block a stab from Vader. He killed your father. Avenge Obi-Wan's death., the voice said again. Distracted Taneth got a sharp kick in the side followed by a force push into a wall.

She fell to her knees then raised up again. Taneth had enough of the battle and dashed to Vader striking at his side. He blocked but was stunned by her attack. Again, Taneth repeated different attacks with Vader blocking them. She moved him back farther and farther. She aimed high then when Vader blocked high she kicked him in the stomach then used the force to throw him into a wall. She ran over to the now defeated lord and readied her saber to kill. D devilish smile crept to her lips as she prepared to kill her father's murder.

Strike him down child. He killed your father and your mother. He's a murder. See him die!, the voice returned with so much hatred. Taneth stared down at Vader, who accepted his defeat. 'If I strike you down, I become you.', she thought. She disignited her blade and clipped it to her belt. Taneth had no need to kill Vader and felt no anger towards him anymore.

Both of the them were trained by her father. Each knew the other's moves regardless of the force. Her emotions were calm as she walked back to face Palpatine. He looked impressed by the two fighters yet very disappointed.

"I'd hope young Kenobi that I wouldn't have to demonstrate the power you challenge. You will join the dark side or die in the light.", Palpatine said in a threatening tone. The Emperor seemed to hate her even more than Vader. Palpatine stood up and raised his hands towards her. In a second his hatred had turned into bolts of lighting that coursed throughout her body. The shock threw her to the ground with every nerve in pain.

The pain stopped, and Taneth saw the Emperor give her a wicked grin then send more volts through her. Taneth screamed and felt her limbs shake violently. So, much pain for one little body to deal with. The longer the lighting lasted the more Taneth seemed to lose consciousness . He stopped and stood over her smiling.

"Vader it's time to get your son.", the Emperor said before Taneth lost consciousness.

"Glad to see you finally returned to the world of the living.", Palpatine said as Taneth slowly woke up. Her whole body was aching and her head felt as if it were in a vise. Her wrist were bound by chains. It didn't take a her a long time to figure out that she was chained to the wall. Where was Vader? The Emperor sat atop his throne looking at her with his wicked yellow eyes.

"Yeah, it wasn't fun enough seeing me tortured the first time.", she negatively said. Palpatine leaned forward a bit and grinned at her angry comment. 'For such an old guy, he sure packs a punch.'

"Young Kenobi, why do you feel no hate for Vader even though he killed your parents?", he asked. Vader killed Amidala?

"I never knew he killed my mother." The Emperor looked puzzled for a second then let an evil smile cross his lips. Every grin and smile from him made her skin crawl.

"Oh yes, before he completely turned, Anakin and Obi-Wan were battling. Your mother stepped in trying to stop it and was stabbed through the heart dying in Anakin's arms.", he told her gleefully. Taneth felt a deep sadness for Anakin. 'He killed his own wife on accident then watched her die. Something tells me he feels guilty but blamed my father.'

The doors from across opened to reveal Vader and Luke. Luke had binders on his wrist with a calm and composed look on his face. Taneth hesitated to say anything so waited. With a flick of Palpatine's wrist, the chains from both her and Luke's wrist were on the ground. Taneth got up and slowly walked to Luke. He saw her and hugged her. Taneth hugged him back relieved to see him all right.

"Both of you come as warriors of the light. But now, Skywalker and Kenobi, both of you will be mine.", Palpatine said confidently. Luke stepped up a bit facing the Emperor.

"You wrong, your highness. I will not turn, and you will be force to kill me." For a second Taneth wondered if Luke had a death wish. The Emperor turned to her as if waiting for her response.

"I'm already a Jedi. I didn't turn last time, nor will I this time.", Taneth said and smiled at Luke. Palpatine showed Luke the huge window where the fleets fought back and forth. With each moment Luke became more and more tense. 'Playing mind games are we?', Taneth wondered. She remained back watching her brother. Luke's saber laid on the Emperor armrest. Luke reached for it to strike Palpatine down, but Vader blocked and thus beginning the battle.

The two of them, father and son, battled. There was nothing Taneth could do but watch and hope they didn't kill each other. The sound of the clashing blades ceased causing Taneth to worry. Moments of silence past then Luke's voice yelled out a 'No!'. Taneth ran to find them. She saw Vader being overtaken by his son as Luke released his anger. He can't turn. Vader yelled a bit when Luke sliced his hand off. Taneth ran to Luke grabbing his shoulders.

"Luke stop! If you kill him, you'll turn!", she yelled shaking his shoulder. Luke still in rage took out a dagger and stabbed her in the shoulder knocking her into some bars near a bottomless shaft. Was he crazy? Luke's emotions calmed down. He threw his saber aside. Taneth winced when she pulled the dagger out. She placed her hand over the wound watching her brother as Palpatine drew closer.

Lighting went through Luke's body just as it did hers. Taneth was completely mortified at the site. She ran to Palpatine, grabbed his arm and began to drag him over to the shaft. He began to shock her trying to stop her. He struggled, but Taneth held on. With the force she threw him in the shaft. Cleverly he grabbed her arm and took her with him.

If Taneth hadn't caught the bar, they would have both fallen to their doom. The Emperor held on to her legs while she held onto one of the bars slowly slipping. Palpatine smiled a bit. She knew exactly what he was thinking, 'If I have to die, a Jedi will die along with me.'

Taneth tried to release her legs from the Emperor's grasp but he wouldn't let her go. Both were going to die. Taneth lost her grip only for her hand to be caught by another. Vader stood above her grasping her hand and pulling her up. Taneth kicked a few times with her now free leg and knocked Palpatine away. Vader joined now by Luke helped her up. A huge surge of energy swept up the shaft hitting her and Vader. She was thrown away while Vader was slightly knocked back.

A rough landing sent pain through her legs and spine. Taneth didn't move, nor did she want to. She saw Luke huddled over Vader. With slowly movements Taneth managed to get up and help Luke load Vader. In the hanger Luke and Taneth dropped the huge Sith lord. Taneth went to find a ship then turned around to see Luke taking off Vader's mask.

His scared face and pale skin made her shiver. She walked over to the two and knelt down and smiled at her once enemy. Luke was exchanging words with his father when she kneeled down to them

"Thanks for the lift back there.", Taneth said. Vader nodded a 'thank you' then slowly lean his head back to welcome death. Luke began to softly cry. She held her brother then mentioned to him that they should go. Taneth readied a ship, and when Luke and Vader's body were loaded, she took off. Luke join the front to help with the flight. Moments after the second Death Star blew up, Taneth and Luke were safely on Endor.

Taneth watched the festivities from a distance. She knew the people but just didn't care to be involved. Besides, she looked a mess. Her dark blue shirt was finally torn to stripes so her shoulder would stop bleeding. Her clothes were blood stained in some areas.

Taneth turned around to see the ghost of her father and Yoda standing before her. Both of the smiled at her then turn their attention to her right side. Luke approached her and smiled at the two ghost. Anakin's ghost appeared beside Obi-Wan's smiling at both of them. 'It is over. My mission is finished.', she thought and smiled.

"All it took was forgiveness to bring Vader to the light.", Taneth said. Luke turned to her.

"I'm sorry.", he said.

"For what, Luke?", Taneth asked.

"I lost control back there and stabbed you."

"It was the dark side, Luke. I'll live.", she said and smiled. Taneth was glad to see that Luke didn't give into his rage. 'I almost lost you back there.'

"Your missing the fun. Lando's looking for you.", he said laughing. She shook her head a bit and laughed too. Both of them turned to go to the party not seeing the dead Jedi fade from the dark. Leia came up to both of them. Taneth hugged Leia then Luke. Lando spotted her from a distance and ran to greet her. 'Oh good grief!'

"Every time I see you it looks like you were attacked by a Bantha.", he said. Reluctantly she hugged him and he grinned. "Wow, I guess my charming personality worked.", Lando said slipping his arm around her shoulder. She moved his arm and gave him an evil look.

"You never give up; do you?", Taneth asked raising an eyebrow.

"It wouldn't be me if I did give up. You Jedi never have any fun.", he countered.

"Yeah that's the life of a Jedi, Calrissian. Think you can handle it?", she bluffed.

"I'll handle it for you.", he slyly said. From behind she could hear Luke and Leia snickering.

"Lando, be careful around our half-sister.", Luke said. Lando for a second stood stunned. Taneth smiled and walked to the party with Lando right behind her.

The End.

What'd ya think? Please review! I know this is a heck of a lot shorter than the other.
