Quinlan Vos had snuck around the landscape undetected, ignoring the Grand Inquisitor's wishes. He was reaching the village. Once he was there, Quinlan used his upper body strength to climb up the gate, hanging up the edge above. He could see the Grand Inquisitor marching through the village with his Stormtroopers right behind him, shouting to find the fugitives. Each of the troopers were moving around, tearing the place apart in order to look for Kenobi. Protests would be gunned down on the spot if they had spoken out. The rest of those that lived here stayed silent, letting the raid on their village happen, some going inside with fear.
Quinlan just observed carefully, his emotions still eating away at him. He felt conflicted. Obi-Wan was his friend, and yet he is hunting him for no reason. The darkside was filling his head too much with dark emotion. He would capture Kenobi, but what would happen after, he wasn't sure himself.
Quinlan hopped back to the lower ground, walking through the grassy plains distances away from the main village, where he closed his eyes to reach with the force. He could feel Obi-Wans presence within the force, but the Empire was in his way, so he waited patient, hopping to drag his old friend out of hiding where they could face off.
Obi-Wan had opened his mind after getting out of meditation, he could hear the screams echoing from inside. He got up to meet with everyone else to see what was going on.
Tala was already gathering people inside the ship when this had all been happening. He dashed towards the main entrance. Kawlan was already looking out the window. With him was Cody, and Narr, making sure everyone was being evancurated, preparing to fight in case they had to.
Obi-Wan walked in, turning their attention towards him, "What is going on?" he asked.
"The Empire is here" Cody told him.
"What now?" Obi-Wan asks.
"We have to leave" Kawlan declared.
Obi-Wan looked at the window. Homes were being attacked, people physically forced out of their homes, getting hit with blaster fires, the Grand Inquisitor had allowed this to happen. It was only a matter of time until they made their way towards here. He looked towards Kawlan, "Get out of here, I will drive them off"
"What" the three said, wanting to oppose Kenobis idea.
"Thats right, I will hold them off, get everyone else out of here, go to Alderaan, go to Senator Organa, he will know what to do"
"If you do this Master Kenobi, then there is no coming back. The Empire will either capture, or kill you" Narr warned him.
Obi-Wan shook his head, "I have ran long enough, its time I do something. Narr, you asked me why the Jedi are hiding, well now is the time to strike. May the force be with you" he told the young Jedi before taking off"
"Be well Master, see you soon" Narr whispered.
Obi-Wan came out the back per instruction by Kawlan. He took cover, as Imperials marched. The force suddenly bid him visibly, as Obi-Wan felt something. He could feel Quinlan Vos miles away. He put his hood up, using the force to push himself toward, so the others wouldn't get caught. He hiding in corners, trying to not get caught. He sprinted forward to the stormtrooper in front of him, hitting the trooper in the head with a blaster. Kenobi then continued to run towards. His arms, and legs started to move up the ladder towards the water tower. He climbed up, activating his lightsaber when he encountered more stormtroopers. He impailed the trooper in front of him with his lightsaber, then cut the other one's blaster in half before slicing him in the chest with the sapphire blade.
Obi-Wan climbed to the ledge before jumping, and using the force to help his landing.
An explosion came up behind the former Jedi. One of the buildings was on fire. Obi-Wan could feel it on the force, everyone was in trouble. He wanted to turn, but an ignition of the lightsaber behind him. Obi-Wan turned around, taking a slight deep breath before moving his head in acknowledgment, "Quinlan" he said removing his hood.
"Surrender Kenobi, there is no fighting the Empire" Vos states, circling his once Jedi friend.
"Quinlan listen to me, I don't know what happened, but you don't need to do this. Don't give in to your darkness, you fought it once, you can do it again" Obi-Wan already holding his lightsaber in his hand.
"Perhaps this is the only way, then maybe I would be strong enough. The woman I loved died because I was weak. My Padawan died because I wasn't there to protect her, well nowI am stronger than before"
Obi-Wan sighed, igniting his lightsaber in both hands, "I am sorry old friend, but I can't let you go"
Vos gave a sinister grin, "Then I will take you by force" he lunged at him, but Kenobi blocked his face with his weapon. Vos's attacks felt heavy to Kenobi, but Obi-Wan pushed him back, going into his form three style. Vos tried to aim for his side, but Obi-Wan blocked before rolling over, and going on the defensive again. He could feel the small light in his friend, Looking at his red eyes, there was pain. Kenobi tried to reach him, but Vos wasn't having it. Quinlan kicked Obi-Wan back, but he was already kicked back by Kenobis feet. Obi-Wan ignited his lightsaber again, clashing with the crimson lightsaber.
Obi-Wan was in a tight spot, he didn't want to kill his friend, he wanted to help him, but there was no talking him out of it. If Quinlan had captured or killed him, then Luke would be found next, being taken away from his family, and trained to be an agent of evil. Leia wouldn't have anyone to guide her, and the galaxy would lose their last up, lists of fears that plagued Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan aggressively pushed back, tapping more into his old abilities. A slice nearly took Quinlans head off, but only left a scar across the cheek. Vos grunted, and swung at Kenobi with aggression. Obi-Wan hopped over, trying to stop his attacks. The two had locked blades, but it was clear Vos had the upper hand. Obi-Wan already found himself getting pushed back. He had spared with Vos many times when they were still young, and Quinlan always gained the upper hand. Even now he is a lot stronger then when he was a boy.
Obi-Wan pushed forward, deactivating his lightsaber, and using the bottom of the hilt to hit Quinlan in the head, causing the fallen Jedi to stumble back. Obi-Wan then pushed him back with the force, causing him to fall on his back. Before Quinlan can ignite his lightsaber again, the weapon had landed in Obi-Wan's free hand. Both blades has ignited, aiming at Quinlan's neck. Quinlan looked in surprise, but his face did not falter. His red eyes still glared at Kenobi with determination.
Obi-Wan was determined to finish it, but he looks at his former friend, and deactivates the lightsabers, "No, you are my friend, and I am sorry I couldn't be there for you, but it is not to late"
Vos's face just dropped , looking at Obi-Wans eyes. Before words could be spoken, a sound was heard. Obi-Wan looked at his side to find a hole through it. He looked back to see a stormtrooper shot at him, causing the former Jedi to fall.
Quinlan looked at his former friend's body. Shocked, as he felt the red in his eyes vanished.
