And there it is.

Palpatine uses Raina's weakness against her, in order for her to stray away from the Jedi. He lures her in with the promise of information about her mother and certainly delivers.

Raina was not only born of a Jedi Master... but also a Sith Lord.

Her father was Dromo Dracarys... and her mother was Nova Dracarys.

Darth Fatale.

All these years, Raina has thought she was meant to do good because of her father, and now knows that she is meant to cause darkness because of her mother.

It changes everything she knows. It changes absolutely everything all because of one key factor.

Obi-Wan lied.

He told her only of her father, and how she is destined for good.

But she is not the only one faced with unfortunate circumstances.

The air crackled with tension as the Jedi Master Mace Windu faces off against the treacherous Sith Lord Palpatine. It's a moment of reckoning, a final showdown between two opposing forces that have been building for years. Windu has come with a singular purpose, to apprehend Palpatine and bring him to justice for his countless crimes against the galaxy. But Palpatine is not one to go quietly into the night, and he is determined to fight tooth and nail to keep his grip on power.

In the dimly lit room, the two adversaries circle each other like wary predators, each searching for an opening to strike. Windu's lightsaber hums in the air, its blue blade casting eerie shadows on the walls. Palpatine, meanwhile, wields his own crimson saber with a malevolent grace, his eyes blazing with a fiery intensity.

But the tension is not to last, for Palpatine is a cunning and manipulative foe, and he has one final trick up his sleeve. He plays his trump card, revealing to Anakin the secret of Darth Plagueis, a dark and ancient Sith Lord who had the power to cheat death itself. Anakin is transfixed, his mind consumed by the tantalizing possibility of cheating death and bringing his loved ones back from the brink.

In that moment of distraction, Palpatine strikes with deadly precision, his saber slashing through the air with a sickening hiss. Windu tries to defend himself, but it's too late. The Sith Lord's blade met Windu's with a shower of sparks, and the Jedi Master is thrown back, his body writhing in agony.

As Windu lay dying on the cold, hard ground, Palpatine cackles with glee. His victory is complete, and his grip on power is stronger than ever. Anakin watches in horror as his mentor and friend breathes his last, the weight of his betrayal heavy on his conscience. But it was too late for regrets now. The die has been cast, and the fate of the galaxy hung in the balance.

Anakin stands before the dark and sinister figure of Palpatine, he feels a shiver run down his spine. The air was thick with ominous tension, and the oppressive weight of Palpatine's power seemed to suffocate him. With each passing moment, Anakin feels himself slipping further and further into the clutches of the dark side.

In a voice that seemed to resonate with an otherworldly power, Palpatine speaks the words that would seal Anakin's fate.

"Pledge your allegiance to me, young Skywalker," He says, his eyes glittering with evil glee, "Join me as my apprentice, and together we will rule the galaxy."

Anakin can feel the pull of the dark side, tugging at him with a seductive force. At that moment, he knows that he had no choice but to obey. With a voice that shook with a mixture of fear and excitement, he pledges his full allegiance to Palpatine, sealing his fate as a Sith Lord.

And with that, Palpatine bestows upon him a new name - Darth Vader. It is a name that will strike fear into the hearts of all who heard it, a name that would come to represent the ruthless power of the Sith.

As Anakin rises, his love runs into the room, chest heaving and eyes wide as Palpatine smiles at the girl. He motions for her to step forward, where he proposes the exact same words.

" Pledge your allegiance to me, young Dracarys. Join me as my apprentice, and together we will rule the galaxy."

Raina looks over to the love of her love, who has already accepted the pledge, and feels as though she has no choice.

She thought the Jedi were the only way. She thought she had to become a Jedi because of her father but now understands why she's always been pulled into the darkness, and why it's always been so easy for her to take a life without regret. And so, she accepts. She pledges herself to the Chancellor, in which she is given a new name as well.

Darth Nighte.

As she rises, Palpatine gives them their next orders, and Anakin feels a chill run down his spine. They are to wipe out all the Jedi in the temple, including the innocent younglings. The thought of such a heinous act makes their stomach turn, but they know that he had no choice. The power of the dark side is too strong to resist.

They know they have no choice... for they wish to be together.

And so, with heavy hearts, Anakin and Raina set out to do Palpatine's bidding. They sweep through the temple like a dark shadow, extinguishing the lives of the Jedi with cold and ruthless efficiency.

Order 66, a sinister directive issued by the Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, plunges the galaxy into darkness and initiates the systematic extermination of the Jedi Order.

As the order is given, the serene sanctuaries of the Jedi Temple are transformed into a scene of carnage, as clone troopers, once loyal protectors of the Republic, turn on their Jedi commanders with merciless efficiency. The air is thick with the acrid scent of blaster fire and the screams of Jedi who are caught off-guard and overwhelmed by the sudden assault.

Anakin, consumed by his thirst for power and desperate to save the life of his beloved Padme, as well as continue to stay with his Jedi partner, takes up his lightsaber and joins the ranks of the clone troopers in their ruthless campaign. The once-noble warrior is now a merciless executioner, striking down his former comrades and friends with ruthless precision.

As he moves through the temple, his eyes gleaming with newfound zealotry, he encountered children who had taken refuge there, innocent victims of this brutal purge. Anakin, once a defender of the helpless, is now a perpetrator of unspeakable atrocities, and his heart is consumed with darkness.

But Raina is no better.

She gives into the darkness that has formerly been suppressed. She lets it all out. She enjoys the slaughter, even if it weighs her heart and does damage that will never be able to repair.

The order is executed with such speed and efficiency that the Jedi Order is all but destroyed within a matter of hours. The once-great defenders of peace and justice are reduced to a scattered handful of survivors, forced into hiding and hunted by the very government they had sworn to protect.

The galaxy is plunged into a new era of darkness, as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious consolidates his grip on power and bends the remaining systems of the Republic to his will. Anakin and Raina are now in a life of servitude, in which they must follow the Sith Lord, where they will become symbols of fear and tyranny throughout the galaxy.

And when it's done, they feel nothing but a hollow emptiness, as if a part of their souls has been ripped away.

But Palpatine is not yet finished with them. He orders Anakin and Raina to travel to the Mustafar planetary system, to eliminate the Separatist enemies of the Republic. And so, with hearts heavy with sorrow and regret, Anakin and Raina set out to do their master's bidding. The fiery planet looms before them like a symbol of their own damnation, and they know that there was no turning back now. They are creatures of darkness, servants of evil, and their destiny lay before them, as inevitable as the rising of the sun.

They take a moment of rest, in which they share and embrace and kiss, then look into each other's eyes, where Anakin cups her cheek and whispers.

" My rainstorm."
