Then there were only the two of them.

Their clash transcended the personal; when new lightning burst forth, it was not Palpatine burning Yoda with his hate. it was the Lord of all Sith scorching the Master of all Jedi into a smoldering huddle of clothing and green flesh.

A thousand years of hidden Sith exulted in their victory.

"Your time is over! The Sith rule the galaxy! Now and forever!

And it was the whole of the Jedi Order that rocketed from its huddle, making its own body a weapon to blast the Sith to the ground.

"At an end your is, and not short enough it was, I must say."

There appeared a blade the color of life.

From the shadow of a black wing, a small weapon - a hold-out, an easily concealed backup, a tiny bit of treachery expressing the core of Sith master - slid into a withered hand and spat a flame-coloured blade of its own.

When those blades met, it was more Yoda against Palpatine; more the millennia of Sith against the legions of Jedi; this was the expression of the fundamental conflict of the universe itself.

Light against dark.

Winner take all.
