Summery : Five years after Mustafar, Darth Vader is but a shadow of the powerful Sith Lord he should be. To the point where the emperor must use the apprentice bond to force Vader to act. But why?
Chalk it up to two undaunted women who will not let even death stop them from saving the soul of the man they both loved.
Author's note: This story has been directly inspired by StarWarrior72's story, 'The Strength To Do For His Child' and is a expansion on that theme with permission of course. Thank you so very much Star. I needed a 'writing Jones' to come out of my November funk. Hope you like!

We all need something to fight for:
Prologue: Still good in him.
She was fading and fast. The birth had been too much for her, just as he had dreamed. But she wasn't truly giving up. Those of the Jedi that remained would never let her go back to him, with her children at her side. It would be the end of hope as far as they were concerned. She knew that well, especially since Obi-wan had made the fatal mistake of being a unexpected passenger on her small cruiser. And then picking the absolutely worst moment to confront his former padawan. The mistake had been fatal, for her. And Anakin's pain echoed within her as well. He would survive, for the Emperor had gone to much trouble to bring him to the Dark Side. But he would have nothing to fight for. She finally gathered the strength to impart her final words to those of the living. But they were not for Obi-wan, but her new-born twins, Luke and Leia. "Obi-wan," she gasped out. "I know.. there is good.. in him.. still." With that, Padme Amidala Skywalker was no longer part of the mortal plain. Yet she had just begun to fight for her beloved husband. And as she became apart of the Force she was greeted by another woman who had given every thing to make her son's future a brighter one. Who was just as determined to make sure that the Sith would not profit by the discord he had sown. Shmi Skywalker greeted her daughter-in-law calmly enough and they began preparing for battle. The battle for the soul of Anakin Skywalker, The Chosen One.
