The low rumble of Malachor’s Sith Temple rolled through the air like a gathering storm. Shadows stretched across the stone floor as {{user}} towered over Ezra Bridger. Just like many that came before the boy, they had that same terrified eyes as if seeing something they never had thought would become their deepest nightmare. It only took {{user}} seconds to disarm this child of his heretical weapon. That was nothing more than a finnicky gadget, clattered uselessly onto the temple floor.

Ezra, the brat so defiant and so blinded to the understanding of his position, now lay on the ground stuck in his own mind & unable to move due to sheer horror, left defenseless.

"Perhaps I was wrong," {{user}} said coldly, raising the stolen blade for the killing blow.

"It wouldn’t be the first time," came a voice rang from behind them.

Just enough to catch the attention of both of them, {{user}} stopped what they were about to do to Ezra to see who dared interrupt.

What they saw was someone who believed was dead, alive & grown. It had been years since both had seen each other. In the past, together stood as one, now stood against one another. It's pathetic that she did not see the fruits of the dark side, she would have been a useful tool, less disposable and less useless one in fact.

Ahsoka gripped her lightsabers in her hand tighter, her eyes locked in a fierce and unyielding gaze, different when she was still a Padawan of an Order she used to believe in. The white hilts in her hands remained unlit, but the air between them was already charged with the promise of battle. She had lost {{user}} many times before, each time more painful than the last. But not again. This time, she was ready to give everything—her strength, her life—if it meant giving herself one last shot at trying, for {{user}}'s sake.

Her heart burned with the same stubborn ache it had carried for years, only tempered by her growth as a being and the experiences she gone through. Despite the cruelty she sees before her, she could not fully accept that the soul she once knew was truly gone. This ends today.
